Chapter 290 Take the train to Cuihai
Theia Yingzhu did not spend the night in Cuihai City. After visiting Cuihai City, she said goodbye to her great-granddaughter.
Then he left Cuihai City on his warship and returned to the Holy City of Alfa.
Sixteen-year-old Winona Yingzhu, with red eyes, stared at the battleship taking off. It was the first time she left her home, and it was so far away from Cuihai City, which made her feel what loneliness is.
"Ibuprofen, you need to bring more Winona." After Duke returned to the Mage Tower, he called his student Buprofen over, "Winona came from another place, she is still young, and she has a lot of spiritual powers." You can help me with my class."
Duke doesn't need to worry about Winona's life.
The reason is very simple. Theia Yingzhu left a team of guard knights for Winona, and the captain, Triss, is a female 3-ring senior Eudemons knight.
Third-level high-level phantom beast knights are rare, and the nobles are even more eager to recruit third-level high-level phantom beast knights, let alone a woman. It can be seen how much Theia Yingzhu has invested in protecting her great-great-great-granddaughter.
In addition, there are two 2-ring Eudemons knights in her guard knight team.
Even Duke is envious of this. As the prophet of the Seven Towers Federation, among the knight guards, only Captain Herdos is a 2-ring Phantom Beast Knight—Vivienne is also a 2-ring Phantom Beast Knight, but she left long ago. Guarded Cavaliers.
certainly.
If Duke wants to recruit a 3-ring high-level Eudemons knight as a guard, there will definitely be many people who are willing to sign up, working for a prophet, it is simply not too exciting.
It's just that Duke doesn't have a high demand for guard knights who serve as guards of honor.
He has no heirs, and needs to be protected by guarding knights to grow up, so there is no need to waste a lot of money to recruit 3-ring senior Eudemons knights.
"Besides, when I study the blood spirit array and blood spirit crystals, I'm afraid I can mass-produce phantom beast knights and high-level phantom beast knights." Duke stroked his smooth chin, which he shaved today, "by then , Dragon Knight may not be difficult to train."
The blood spirit crystal has a strong effect on spirit beasts, Xiaodou relied on the blood spirit crystal to evolve into a 2-ring magic beast.
As long as there are enough blood spirit crystals, phantom beasts are no longer a dream, and with a large base of phantom beasts, the probability of high-level phantom beasts and dragon beasts will naturally increase accordingly.
"Master, don't worry, I will take good care of Winona." Buprofen responded obediently.
She still doesn't know the identity of Winona Yingzhu, and Duke doesn't plan to tell more people, only himself and teacher Suktara know.
Otherwise, a great-granddaughter of the stars, I am afraid that many people in the mage tower will try their best to curry favor with Winona.
Even, some thoughts that should not be born.
"Do you have some ideas, too?"
In the evening, Kylia came by airship from Suktara Mage Tower, met Winona, and then lay in Duke's arms, asking so.
Duke raised his eyebrows: "She's only sixteen years old."
"It's just that I'm sixteen now, and I should grow up in a few years." There was a slight sourness in Kiriya's tone, "Even if I'm only sixteen years old, my face is still very beautiful. When my figure grows, Definitely prettier than me."
"Not as pretty as you," Duke said.
"The sixteen-year-old Arcane Mage is the same age as you when you were promoted to the Arcane Mage. Will she become the next Duke Prophet?" Kylia smiled and changed the subject.
She was a little jealous, and she didn't want to get entangled in this anymore. She knew very well that Duke was not something she could catch alone.
Not only because of Duke's character, he is naturally free and unrestrained, and it is difficult to be restrained. Or because of Duke's status as a prophet, there are destined to be countless people who want to use various means to win him over. Even her own grandfather, wasn't she trying to win over Duke from the very beginning?
She still didn't know the identity of Winona Yingzhu, but when she heard that she was from the Holy City of Arcadia, she guessed that she must be a descendant of a certain star.
Stuffed a beautiful junior to Duke's side.
What is the purpose of this, Kylia felt that she could guess why with her eyes closed and her delicate toes thinking.
"Duke Prophet, there is only one." Duke smoothed Kiria's golden wavy hair, "To achieve my achievements, I think not only will I not see the ancients before, but I will also see the comers... let alone Wei Nona is just a sixteen-year-old arcane mage, even if she is fifteen, she will be fine."
He has Xiaoyi and the knowledge of the earth, how can others compare with him.
In the records of the Seven Towers Federation, there is a peerless genius who directly comprehended the mysteries of the ring and was promoted to an arcanist when the spiritual sea was opened on the first day.
But the result is only a stop at the Great Arcanist.
There are plenty of geniuses with such a quick start, but the spiritual arcane method pays more attention to accumulation, and fast practice does not determine the future. This is why Duke was called a genius when he was promoted at the age of sixteen, but many people still look down on him.
Until now.
Duke has proven his edge step by step, so he will be widely expected, and it will be recognized that he will be a member of the stars sooner or later.
Winona, a sixteen-year-old arcanist, still needs to prove herself in the future.
Kilia thinks deeply: "Yes, you are unique."
In the long history of mankind, Duke's genius is unparalleled, even the saints in the Temple of Valor are not as good as Duke's achievements.
In fact, Duke is only one step away from these sages—death.
Ears and temples rubbed together, ecstasy overnight.
The next day was October 15th. Duke sent away Kiria, who had been exhausted all night, and went to work at the Union Tower, to order a meal and read the newspaper.
Just as he was about to get up and leave work, the Tower of Knowledge sent a messenger of the Great Arcane Master to come to the United Tower to bring him news.
"Congratulations, Lord Prophet, your consonance projection technology has been awarded this year's Light Award of the Tower of Learning. The prizes and medals are already on the way to be sent... Lord Thursas confessed that there will be a review meeting of the Supreme Committee tomorrow. Join on time."
Not surprisingly, the light of the Tower of Knowledge was awarded to Duke for the fifth time.
But it is not the ring of consonance, but the projection technology of consonance. Because the ring of consonance is not a technology of natural history, only the projection technology of consonance is related to natural history.
But strictly speaking, the relationship is not very big, and the light granted to the Tower of Learning is a bit of a slap in the face.
"I see, I will attend on time." Duke nodded lightly, no longer feeling any surprise about winning the award.
Except last year because I was immersed in studying the ring copying materials, I didn't get the light of the Tower of Learning.
In the past few years, the Light of Learning Tower Award has almost been won by him.
There is no way around this. The technologies invented by Duke are becoming more and more great. Relying on these skills, he was selected into the Hall of Valor after his death, not to mention the Light of the Tower of Knowledge Award now. Can't give it to anyone but him.
The next day, at nine o'clock.
He cast the ring of consonance on time, and quickly activated the phantom of the clone. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the large conference room of the Supreme Committee of the Bo Xue Tower.
"Duke is here, take your seat." Chairman Thursas nodded to Duke, and then Duke's clone phantom went to his seat and sat down.
Cursas down, on the left is Madron Rhodiola, and on the right is Duke.
Further down, there are learned and sages, whose status is obviously lower than the three prophets, and they sit a little further away.
"Ahem." Thursas looked around the crowd and coughed softly, "Today's meeting is to discuss a new technological invention..."
Boxue Tower Supreme Review Committee is responsible for reviewing various major technologies reported nationwide.
As a prophet in the field of erudition, Duke can use the ring of consonance to hold meetings. Naturally, he was pulled into the Supreme Committee by Thursas. learning development.
After Thursas finished talking about the new technology, he signaled the assistant to distribute the technical patent papers one by one.
Duke opened the file. He didn't look through the file in a hurry, but a moment of trance flashed in his mind, and he couldn't tell where he was for a moment.
Cuihai City for a while, and Alfa Holy City for a while.
Since the copy ring was sent to the Holy City of Arcana, it has not been able to be sent back. It is really a brick of spiritual Arcana, and it can be moved wherever it is needed.
after all.
He is only a 3-ring Arcane Mage.
Even now that the Consonance projection technology has been solved, he can freely use the Consonance projection technology to condense the Consonance projection avatar. But the avatar condensed by the consonance projection technology lasted too short, only five minutes.
The avatars condensed by the previous great arcane masters with arcane projection technology also only lasted for a few minutes.
Moreover, the more the number of projection transitions, the more blurred the ring structure of the mimicry, and the shorter the duration of the avatar.
Therefore, it is not possible to hold a meeting with the help of Consonance projection technology and Austrian projection technology.
In order to be able to hold a normal meeting, he can only deposit his only copy ring in the Holy City of Alfa, and send it to the meeting room in advance when a meeting is needed.
certainly.
This is also the standard operation of great arcane mages and even arcane teachers.
The only difference is that the ring of projection can start from 4 rings, and each ring casts a copy ring, so that these great arcanists and arcane teachers can have many copy rings, and then have many clones, everywhere.
Now the Ring of Consonance is born, reducing the projection standard to 3 rings.
Great Arcane Masters and Arcane Instructors can use this technology to cast one more replica ring and add a new clone.
Go to various parts of the Federation for meetings, which is more calm.
"Forget it, it's just a temporary inconvenience. When I become a great arcane mage, sooner or later I will have many projection avatars."
Shaking his head, he put his complicated thoughts behind him.
He began to seriously open the document in his hand. This is a new invention about the shuttle load-carrying technology. With the help of a new technology upgrade in the puppet field, the existing shuttle can nearly double the original load.
Thus realizing the cargo delivery function of the shuttle.
"The speed of the shuttle is fast, and if the load can be increased, it is indeed a powerful supplement for freight." A erudite sage immediately praised, "I think this new technology of the shuttle is worthy of recognition and promotion, the Tower of Knowledge It should be arranged as soon as possible."
"Not necessarily. The flying shuttle is too expensive. Although it is fast, it is difficult to make up for the cost of transporting goods with it. There are not many social choices." Another erudite sage held a different opinion.
Immediately, the erudite sages expressed their opinions one after another.
Everyone is sure this is a good technology.
But for the promotion of shuttle delivery, some erudite sages support it, some erudite sages oppose it, and some, such as Duke, have no opinion on it.
"Prophet Duke, what do you think?" Thursas asked Duke by name.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the learned and sages all fell into deep thought.
Duke said slowly again: "Actually, I have an idea, which may have good promotion value for the existing transportation."
"Oh, please tell me." Thursas said immediately.
"Have you seen the tram bus running in the city? We can improve it, lay tracks between two cities or market towns, and then extend the bus, piece by section, like a black centipede car Same…"
Duke's idea is not very creative, he just simply reproduced the train on the earth.
The projection version of the hand of the arcane appeared, and he used the hand of the arcane to simulate the structure of the train and the rails, forming a circle around the desk.
"I have calculated this kind of rail train. Firstly, it has a huge transportation capacity, which cannot be compared with any existing means of transportation; secondly, it runs fast, at least much faster than the black beetle car and black centipede car; thirdly, the transportation cost is low. ,Low energy consumption…"
All you learned and sages are attracted by the train that Duke imitated with the hand of the Arcane.
Duke continued: "Of course, the disadvantages of rail trains are also obvious. The rails are expensive and must be dominated by the five towers; the rails will pass through no-man's land and are easily damaged by spirit beasts, and the materials must be strong; flexible The **** is also poor, and it can only run on the prescribed track."
The erudite and sages present here are all well-informed.
Looking at Duke’s simulated train model, I immediately recognized the advantages and disadvantages of rail train transportation in my mind.
The first one to speak was Linton Cicada. His eyes lit up and he said: "I think Duke Sage's idea is more reliable than airship load-carrying technology. With the help of the track laid in advance, it can effectively reduce energy consumption and increase power...the only one. The shortcoming is probably whether the spirit beast will destroy the track."
"It may be dangerous in the borderlands, but if it is placed in a well-developed area, such as Whale Song Mirror Lake, connecting the surrounding eighteen cities, there is absolutely no danger!" Another erudite sage followed suit.
The area around Whale Gejing Lake has been developed and matured by humans.
Basically there are no threatening spirit beasts, so the safety of the railway tracks will be effectively guaranteed.
"I also think that rail trains are more interesting than shuttles."
"Seconded."
"It's enough to reward the new technology of the flying shuttle, and then send it to several flying shuttle production companies, let them choose by themselves." A erudite sage said with a smile, "We should now try out a new technology around Jingjing Lake. rail train."
Almost no one objected, and they all agreed with Duke's proposal.
Cersas also stroked his beard and laughed, "Prophet Duke, when will your patented rail train technology be registered?"
"It's just an improvement from the tram bus. Let's register the patent in the name of Erudite Tower. I'm too lazy to do it anymore." Duke smiled freely.
He no longer looks down on this gizmo.
The erudite sage named Vesta said with a smile: "Prophet Duke, the rail train technology is very good, and it is very hopeful to win the Light of the Erudite Tower Award next year. You don't plan to win a few more." Is it the light of the Tower of Learning?"
"I took too much, give others a chance." Duke joked.
In six years, he took five.
It is indeed too much.
Now that he has been added as a Prophet, he has no interest in such a small award as the Light of the Tower of Learning. It would be okay if the Chapter of the Mist is in fact—in fact, the next Chapter of the Mist is already stable. The Ring of Branding can be won, and the Ring of Consonance is natural I can also take it.
Just kidding, the review meeting of the Supreme Committee was over, and Duke also reached the limit of the phantom clone, quickly shattered and disappeared.
Back to reality.
He immediately started to act, taking the airship himself, starting from Cuihai City, passing through various market towns all the way, and finally arriving in Shenjiao City.
All geographical environments along the way have been modeled by Xiaoyi, and the best railway construction route has been selected.
Holding this railway construction route map, he found Keyston Raging Waves: "My lord."
"Master Prophet Duke!" Keyston quickly interrupted Duke, "Didn't it be agreed? Although the old man is hundreds of years old, I don't dare to call you my lord anymore! Just call me my lord!" Keyston, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."
If Duke is just a double sage, Kiston Rage dares to make a big deal, and hear Duke call out your lord.
But Duke has already been a prophet, the real power top of the Seven Towers Federation, he is only a five-ring ocean arcanist, and he dare not be called a master by Duke again.
Duke smiled helplessly.
He followed Kylia's side and called Keyston an adult, but since Keyston didn't dare to accept it, he had no choice but to change his words.
"Uh, Keyston, I'm going to hold a Ten Towers meeting to discuss building a rail train between Cuihai City and Shenjiao City." Duke handed over a blueprint, "When you preside over the meeting, take it Come out to discuss, and when the technology at the Erudition Tower is perfected, we will start construction immediately."
"My lord, you should preside over the meeting." Keyston said.
In the past ten tower meetings, the chief executive of the Union Tower of Shenjiao City was the head, and the chief executive of the Union Tower of Cuihai City was the deputy.
But now that Duke is a prophet, it's not his turn to be Keyston's master in any case.
"It's okay, you continue to host, I'm impatient to do these mundane affairs." Duke comforted, "I'm going to take some time to resign the chief executive of the Union Tower of Cuihai City and re-elect a chief executive...I really don't want to. Fit to serve as chief executive again."
Kiston deeply agreed: "Yes, you are already a prophet, the chief executive of the local union tower, and you are not worthy of your status."
In fact, it is not a question of worthy or not.
Instead, Duke continues to serve as the chief executive, which will lead to no distinction between Cuihai City and Shenjiao City. And even if Duke resigned as chief executive, the entire Heijiaohe land would still have to listen to him. No matter who it was, they couldn't avoid Duke's control.
"I am going to recommend my teacher as the chief executive, but she is just a name. For specific general affairs, I plan to add a standing executive to the Union Tower, and let Penrose serve as the executive executive to preside over the work of the Union Tower for me."
"Yes." Keyston had no objection to this.
The two had communicated about this matter, and it was basically settled. Then Duke resigned, and then elected teacher Suktara to take over.
United Towers then held an enlarged meeting, inviting relevant arcanists to vote.
Because Duke had made a good greeting in advance, there was no surprise in the voting result, and Suktala successfully won the chief executive position of Cuihai City Union Tower.
Communicate with Penrose again, and Penrose will come to the Union Tower in Cuihai City to serve as the executive executive.
"I will strictly follow your ruling ideas, Lord Prophet, and manage the entire Cuihai City well!" Penrose said solemnly, but couldn't hide his excitement.
His personal desire for power is a bit heavy, and now he is able to control the power of a city as an executive executive, and he is so satisfied that he can't be more satisfied.
Then he saluted Duke solemnly: "Thank you, Lord Prophet, for your trust in me!"
Before he failed to run for the chief director of Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City, he was really depressed for a while, and he never expected to come back as the executive executive.
"You are my enlightenment mentor, so I naturally trust you." Duke said with a smile, "Executive administration can realize some ambitions, but I still hope that you will not give up your practice, the high-level executives are deriving the ring of consonance. Once there is a result , it is very hopeful for you to be promoted to the 4th ring."
Penrose said awe-inspiringly: "I understand, please rest assured, Mr. Prophet, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will never give up!"
Promoted to a 4th-ring Earth Arcane Mage, which 3rd-ring Arcane Mage can give up such an opportunity.
This is a metamorphosis of life level.
Time flies and the end of the year is approaching, and the derivation project of the Ring of Consonance is still in progress.
However, the rail train proposed by Duke casually has been quickly developed by the Erudition Tower with the strength of many erudite sages, and a sound construction standard has been formulated.
Eighteen cities around the Holy City of Offa have started track construction projects one after another.
at the same time.
In Cuihai City and Shenjiao City, there are also track construction projects that have started. With the technology developed by the Boxue Tower, the track for rail trains has begun to be built.
And when Duke was bored, he adapted a song "Take the Train to Cuihai".
On the day when the construction of the track started, the invited singers sang enthusiastically at the site of the groundbreaking ceremony under the heavy snowflakes.
There is also a group of dancers behind, dancing cheerfully.
"Take the train to Cuihai, to see the magical green banyan forest, to see the most beautiful blowing snow column, which blooms at the foot of Lingya Mountain."
"Take the train to Cuihai, dance the enthusiastic horse-riding dance, drink the most fragrant barley tea, and get drunk in Heijiaohe."
The lyrics don't rhyme, and it's true that Duke didn't arrange them—he didn't sign them either.
But the song is catchy, at least the crowd who braved the heavy snow and came to watch, watching the beautiful dance and listening to the chorus of the singers, felt that they were very happy.
"Lord Duke, we know that the rail train is your idea. Do you think the rail train can become the main means of transportation in the Seven Towers Federation?" A reporter from the "Seven Towers Daily" stationed in Cuihai City followed Duke interview behind.
The snow swept across, and Duke's hair was already a little white.
He didn't use fighting energy to evaporate the snow, but enjoyed the most direct intimacy of nature, and responded indifferently: "I believe that rail transportation will definitely become an important mode of transportation in the future, and people will soon adapt. Daily travel, Freight is transported by rail trains.”
"It is said that you gave up the patent registration and completely contributed the rail train technology to the seven-tower Federal Learning Tower?"
"I am a prophet in the field of erudition, and I think it is imperative to guide the development of technology, especially the development of technology that is beneficial to people's livelihood." Duke smiled, repeating the same old tune, "I was born in a border town, and I understand people's transportation needs. Difficult, so I hope the rail train will improve that."
not far away.
At the auditorium side of the groundbreaking ceremony, Kylia Rage lifted the hood of the Arcane robe and put it on her head, revealing only a warm cheek.
smiled lightly: "He's handsome, isn't he, Winona."
Winona Yingzhu, who is also wearing an arcane robe, is as tall as Kiria, but slimmer. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Duke is very handsome."
Then he said in an adoring tone: "He seems to be shining, those great technologies are the light source, he... Lord Duke is simply omnipotent!"
Finished speaking.
Thinking that Duke's real girlfriend was by his side, he felt a little embarrassed, and two red clouds quickly appeared on his face.
Kiliya said indifferently: "Some people called him the son of the sun before, but I know that he is the sun itself."
"Is it the sun?" Winona looked at Duke who was cutting the ribbon in the heavy snow.
Even in plain clothes, he is still the undoubted focal point, as dazzling, warm and sharp as the sun.
Kiriya glanced at Winona, who was absent-minded, and smiled slightly.
Then hummed the song just now: "Take the train to Cuihai, to see the magical green banyan forest..."
Looking for tickets~
