Chapter 320 The unknown is the surprise
After the naming of the Ring of Phantasmal Beasts was approved, Cuihai City became lively again, and Duke's name once again appeared on major television stations.
Duke also grabbed the headlines again and again in newspapers.
“Four-ringed prophet!”
“The first person in history to write the history of spiritual arcana.”
“The giant of spiritual arcana was born in the Seven Towers Federation, and the future of mankind will follow the giant Duke. The four-ring prophet is not the limit, but the beginning of an era.”
There are no more flattering words to describe the praise.
All in all, after the Ring of Phantom Beasts was named, Duke has undoubtedly become the greatest sage in the history of spiritual arcana. When he chooses to return to the West and be elected to the Temple of Heroes, Abbotts will have to make way for him.
In view of this, Seven Towers Optical Observatory arranged an exclusive interview with Duke for "High-end Interview".
This program is hosted by a great arcane mage. Once it was launched, it became a must-see program for all arcane mage elites in the Seven Towers Federation and even the eighteen human regimes.
"With the invention of the Ring of Phantasmal Beasts, many arcane mages have expressed their opinions in public, thinking that you have surpassed Sage Abbots. What do you think about this?" The host asked the question calmly.
In fact, Duke, as one of the bosses behind the Seven Towers Optical Observation Station, asked "High-end Access" to interview him in order to suppress public opinion.
So when faced with the host’s question, Duke simply responded: “It’s passed, it’s been passed.”
Then we chatted all over the world with the host, chatting about history and the future, and continued to build momentum for the Dongwei spiritual era.
However, after the program was broadcast, some local newspapers reprinted the interview content.
They even used the title "Prophet Duke said he has surpassed Sage Abbots" to distort the facts and catch people's attention.
The key is.
The readers of these local newspapers are all from the middle and lower classes of society, such as knights, spiritual envoys, small businessmen, etc. They recognized the title very much and even took it for granted. The Four-ring Prophet is naturally greater than any founder.
On the streets, some old men chatted privately.
There is even a comparison method: "I know that Sage Abbots does not have one ring, but Prophet Duke has four rings. How can we compare? There is no comparison!"
so.
Even though Duke used his prophetic power to ban these random local tabloids and fire them, the content of the reports still spread and was widely recognized by the lower classes of society—Duke surpassed Abbotts!
Assistant Ibuprofen reported what he had learned to Duke: "The black dragon river goes up and down. Even the footmen and traders think that you, sir, have surpassed the sage Abbots."
“My ring of light and faith has opened the era of Manghuang Village, but it has also released demons and ghosts!” Duke seemed to sigh sadly.
Actually, I feel quite happy.
In his heart, he himself thought that he had surpassed Abbotts. Abbott's founding of the Seven Towers Federation certainly had a far-reaching impact, but his own invention of the Four Rings and the creation of an era of subtle spirituality for mankind would also have a far-reaching impact.
And purely in terms of the expansion of spiritual arcane magic, he even surpassed Abbotts in a crushing way. After all, Abbotts was only a second-level arcane mage in that era.
In that era, there was no Ring of Distortion, Chapter of Mist, Contract, or Spirit Card. Arcane mages were still in a state of "amateur", and their paths were full of obstacles.
Even the spiritual arcane system has not yet been established.
“The reason why Abbots’ status is solid is that the Seven Towers Federation has become the strongest nation in mankind. As a founder, it is natural that he is constantly deified and deeply tied to the Seven Towers Federation. He has been prosperous and prosperous forever.”
Duke touched his chin and thought: "All the development of the Seven Towers Federation today must be given to Abbotts!"
So even in public, he has to show humility that he is still far from the achievements of Abbotts.
After all, even his achievements are worth three points to Abbotts.
In such a chaotic atmosphere, Dunn Dragon Lance, the dean of the Knight's Monastery, finally led a team to Cuihai City.
"Meet the Dragon Knight, Dunn Dragon Lancer sends you his greetings!" The core pillar of the old knight, after meeting Duke, he immediately got up to his tricks and actually knelt down on one knee and performed the knightly age rituals to Duke. It is an ancient etiquette to perform worship.
Most of the stars have pure hearts, so they tend to do whatever they want.
Duke laughed and helped Dunn Dragonlance up: "Dean Dunn, please get up quickly."
Wait until the two of them finished saying hello.
Yannis Ice Crown, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped directly into Duke's arms. People around her were already surprised.
Such as Dunn Dragon Lance and Godiva Storm Sword, their smiles seem to evoke a trace of nostalgia for the past.
In the past, when they were young and frivolous, they would hug each other with beautiful women in their arms.
Of course, even though he is getting older now, his physical skills have not deteriorated and he still has many confidantes. It's just that the years of burning passion have passed, and I have changed to working quietly and not easily showing off in public.
After giving a banquet.
Dunn Dragoon and others settled in Oak Tooth Mountain. In the following days, Duke was almost pestered by Dunn Dragoon, and they competed all day long.
At night, I had to fight with Agnes Ice Crown for half the night.
It can be said that I work hard day and night.
"Dragon Knight, let's do it again!" August has passed in the blink of an eye, and Dunn Dragonlance has been fighting Duke for a week, and he is still very interested. "You lack dragon weapons, and Godiva and I happened to have both. I'll lend you the Yalong weapon to control."
"Don't be in a hurry to compete." Duke no longer had any interest in competing.
Restricted to fighting only in the way of knights, Dunn Dragon Lance is no match for him; if he fires with all his strength, even if Duke assists the three-ring sand eagle with the Grasp of Immortality, he is still not the star of Dunn Dragon Lance. opponent.
So a competition with no exceptions is not interesting at all.
Duke said: "I am going to forge some Wurm weapons. Do me a favor and help me search for some Wurm materials."
“I’ve got it covered.” Dunn Dragonlance assured him, patting his chest.
Godiva Storm Sword asked: "Is it enough to just search for materials, or do you need to find an alchemist to help cast it?"
"I am the alchemist, why bother others." Duke smiled slightly.
Although his attainments in the field of alchemy are not sophisticated enough, with the help of Xiao Yi, the sub-dragon weapons forged are absolutely perfect.
"I almost forgot, you are now the Sixth Sage!" Dunn Dragon Lance sighed.
Just after the ring of phantom beasts was officially named, the reward for Duke's invention of the ring of phantom beasts also came. Duke was officially canonized as the formation sage and beast taming sage in the Offa Tower. An achievement at the ring level is worthy of two sage titles.
At this point, Duke seems to be the fourth-circle prophet and six-sage.
The six sage titles among them have already tied the record of the Seven Towers Federation. As long as they get another sage title in the future, they can break the record.
As for whether Duke can break the record, everyone believes that it is only a matter of time.
After chatting for a while about the sub-dragon weapon, Duke looked at Dunn Dragon Cavalry, who was full of fighting spirit, and laughed: "I have something else to do today. I have to attend the Beast Blood Pill Improvement Conference held by the Spiritual Beast Research Institute. The fight is postponed until tomorrow."
Dunn Dragon Lance nodded helplessly: "Okay."
Then he turned to look at Godiva Storm Sword: "Your Excellency Duke doesn't have time. You and I are both level 3 high-level fantasy beast knights. Let's go out and fight for a while!"
Godiva Storm Sword wanted to refuse, but he knew very well that his dean was a martial arts idiot, so he could only say: "Dean, we have competed too many times, and I can't beat you."
"Then you, the vice-deans, come together!" Dunn Dragon Lance became more and more excited, "This time I will fight four high-level fantasy beast knights alone!"
"They used to fight at the Knight's Monastery every three to five." Agnes Ice Crown took Duke's arm and followed Duke out of the castle and into Duke's Sage Mage Tower. "Before you, Dean Dunn He has the best chance of being promoted to Dragon Knight."
Duke nodded: "Indeed, if there is a second dragon knight, it must be Dean Dunn."
As the dean of the Knight Monastery, Dunn Dragon Lancer has improved many fighting spirit martial arts and presided over the revision of the blood refining method many times.
It can be said that a lot of fighting spirit increases have been obtained.
However, there is a lack of key promotion of the way of knights. Neither the fighting spirit martial arts nor the lightsaber or animal blood pills were invented.
Hence, the increase in fighting spirit he gained was probably less than 1% compared to Duke's.
This is also the reason why Dunn Dragon Lance has been unable to be promoted to Dragon Knight. Such an increase in fighting spirit is far from powerful enough to break through the ceiling of knighthood.
"Before we met you, we all knew that it was almost impossible for a dragon knight to appear in the world. Even Gamater, who invented the "Gamath Shield", was not promoted. Moreover, Dean Dunn did not invent the fighting spirit martial arts. Over time, Dean Dunn himself also Discouraged.”
Yannis Ice Crown continued: "It wasn't until you broke through the Dragon Knight that Dean Dunn regained his confidence and enthusiasm for the Dragon Knight."
She looked at Duke, with little stars in her eyes: "You have given knights all over the world and ignited the hope of dragon knights."
"The hope of the dragon knight has not been ignited, it has only ignited the hope of the fantasy beast knight." Duke was not dizzy by the other party's praise.
He knew very well that his promotion to the fourth-level dragon knight was a masterpiece of the right time, place and people.
It would have been impossible for anyone else. Even if Duke imparted his experience as a dragon knight, it would be difficult for anyone to replicate his trajectory.
Even Dunn Dragonlance may not be able to be reproduced.
"The reason why the Beast Spirit Formation and the Beast Blood Pill are named the Ring of Phantom Beasts is because... it really can only stop at the Phantom Beast Knights." Duke sighed, "The stars have already seen through the essence, and I became The Dragon Knight was just an accident.”
“But it’s a hope after all, isn’t it?”
"indeed."
Just as she was talking, Yanis suddenly pretended to complain: "But now I am not even a high-level Phantom Beast Knight, I am just a small Phantom Beast Knight. Lord Dragon Knight, you must give me good guidance and help me improve my strength." ah."
“Okay, I will help you practice tonight!” Duke promised.
…
September 3, light rain.
Winona Yingzhu held an oil-paper umbrella and climbed onto the branches of the ancestor of the oak tree from the thirty-story corridor of the Duke Sage Mage Tower.
The branches have been manually carved into a winding path.
The path leads deep into the canopy, where there are several treehouses, one of which is Duke's treehouse, and several others are owned by Suktara, Kiria Furious Waves, and others. Of course, there is one room among them, which belongs to Winona Yingzhu.
After finishing her training, Winona Yingzhu stayed in Duke Sage Mage Tower to work, and has already regarded Oak Tooth Mountain as her home.
"Huh."
She was walking on the path when she suddenly stopped, stretched out her pink and white arms like lotus roots, and pulled a branch in front of her eyes.
But in the gaps between the leaves, a cluster of small pale yellow inflorescences hung down.
Looking carefully, not only did the branches in her hands have inflorescences hanging down, but also countless inconspicuous small light yellow inflorescences hung down in the dense canopy of the entire oak tree. It was as if a light rain came and the oak tree was in full bloom. flowers.
In addition to a long series of inflorescences, there are also individual small blooming flowers scattered sporadically under the cover of leaves.
Say hello to the ibuprofen outside the office: "Is the tutor here?" "The tutor is here."
Basically every morning, Duke would come to the office and sit for a while.
Firstly, process the data submitted by the laboratory, and secondly, activate the advanced replication ring here and participate in various meetings in the Holy City of Arcane.
“Mentor.” After receiving permission, Winona Yingzhu opened the door of the office and walked in. “The ancestor of the oak tree has bloomed, did you know?”
The Eye of the Arcane is suspended on the desk, and the Hand of the Arcane is turning over the information.
Duke himself took the newspaper and looked for news about himself. His eyes lit up when he heard the news: "Has the ancestor of the oak tree blossomed?"
Soon, standing on the branches of the ancestral oak tree, Duke saw numerous small inflorescences that seemed to bloom overnight.
The oak spirit also flew out of the air sea and danced in the canopy: "Master Duke, the ancestor of the oak tree has really bloomed."
“Very good, very good!” Duke smiled with satisfaction.
He has been looking forward to the ancestor of the oak tree blooming and bearing fruit. Only when it produces acorns can the mysterious power within them be studied.
“By the way, Oak Spirit, how long does it take for the ancestor of the oak tree to bloom and bear fruit?”
"I remember it seemed to take half a year." Oak Spirit thought for a while, "I used to stay in the Asiba tribe most of the time, and I didn't pay much attention to the fruiting of the ancestor of the oak tree. The most recent fruiting was picked by Abu Abu. , many oak people have been blessed by this.”
The power of the oak people comes from the ancestors of the oak tree. This power has been deeply rooted in their blood and passed down from generation to generation.
But the Acorn Man can also rely on new acorns to gain more power.
"Okay!" Duke nodded, "Then wait half a year before studying the power of the ancestor of the oak tree and trying to change the world again."
No one knows what Duke has in mind.
The birth of the ancestor of the oak tree is in bloom. To everyone, it is just another fresh scenery in the Oak Tooth Mountain. Once you take a look at it, you will forget it.
"Your Excellency, Dragon Knight, it's time to compete!" Dunn Dragon Lance came over again and shouted.
"Walk!"
Duke roused himself, summoned Xiao Dou directly from the Dragon Garden, then rode on Xiao Dou and flew straight to the virgin forest to the west.
Although it is boring, Duke is still willing to compete.
The reason is very simple. Dunn Dragon Lance is like the stars. Every time he meets the other professor, it is an opportunity to peek into the secrets of the stars.
Boom!
The battle soon began over the primeval forest. From a battle between fighting spirit and martial arts to a duel between arcane arts, it quickly became intense.
“Duke!”
Dunn Dragonlance is wearing armor. This is one of his 6th-level arcane weapons. Its defensive effect is astonishing, comparable to the 7th-level forbidden art - Grasp of Immortality.
At this moment, he raised his hands high above his head: "I still have a forbidden technique. Although it is not satisfactory, it is still the work I am most proud of in my life. Let you see it!"
Boom!
Thunder flashed above his head, as if something was summoned from another world and turned into a huge spear of light.
"Destruction Dragon Spear!" Dunn Dragon Lance summoned the light spear transformed from the forbidden spell, and reminded him word by word, "The arcane spells with earth element attributes are constantly combined and superimposed. It took nearly fifty years of exploration to finally With this dragon-destroying gun!"
His hands reached into the light body of the Destruction Dragon Spear, as if he hugged the Destruction Dragon Spear around his waist, and then projected it towards Duke on the ground from a high position.
this moment.
The sky and the earth seemed to be still, only the Dragon Spear of Destruction fell from the sky.
Duke Nenggu felt the terrifying coercion of this forbidden technique, but he was not very nervous in his heart, because it was just a discussion, and Dunn Dragonlance did not speed up the destruction of the Dragonlance. He had enough time to avoid it. Start attacking.
but.
He wanted to try a head-on confrontation.
So he suddenly waved his hands, with his left hand facing his chest and his right hand facing the Dragon Spear of Destruction, launching the Grasp of Immortality twice, one after the other.
Big black hands stretched out from the void, one protected Duke, and the other grabbed the Destruction Dragon Spear.
at the same time.
In front of Duke, another gray gun barrel was suspended. The improved three-ring sand eagle began to switch to violent combat mode.
After being upgraded to level 3, the Sand Eagle Pistol no longer needs to be updated. Instead, the four modules are continuously optimized. Every optimization is towards the ultimate limit of the three-layer ring structure, improving the combat effectiveness of the Sand Eagle pistol.
Boom, boom, boom…
Shooting a gun is like firing a cannon. The final bullets arrive first, transcending the grip of immortality, and explode continuously on the Dragon Spear of Destruction.
But the momentum of the Dragon Spear of Destruction has not diminished at all.
When the Immortal Grip captured the Destruction Dragon Spear, it completely collapsed in a thousandth of a second.
Then he blasted down towards Duke's head unstoppably.
“Alas!” Duke sighed in his heart. The level gap was too big. After all, he was far behind in strength when facing the stars.
There is no way he can handle the forbidden attack technique of Dunn Dragon Lance.
But sighing, he didn't hesitate at all, and he had already rushed out of the locking range of the Destruction Dragon Spear like a ghost.
This Destruction Dragon Spear, which was deliberately slowed down by Dunn Dragon Lance, was late and crashed into the ground after Duke was out of the attack range.
A dull and shocking muffled sound came out.
Immediately afterwards, the entire land fell into a brief silence. Immediately afterwards, the shock wave of earth-shattering radiated rapidly to the surroundings. The entire area of more than ten miles was swept by the powerful power of the Destruction Dragon Spear, and all flowers, plants and trees were turned into nothingness. .
Only the Dunn Dragon Lance in the sky can easily withstand the shock wave with its arcane armor.
Duke underground also relied on the defensive power of the Immortal Grip to remove the shock wave that could tear everything apart, and stood there unharmed.
No.
To be precise, he was standing in the air, because the soil under his feet had been scraped away by at least one centimeter by the shock wave.
When everything returned to calm, Dunn Dragon Lance fell to the ground, stood in front of Duke, looked at the desolate scene of more than ten miles around, and said calmly: "Pursuing too much power leads to slow speed and difficulty in locking onto the enemy. , this is the biggest drawback of the Destruction Dragon Spear."
Duke said with a sigh: "I think there is another disadvantage that must be added, which is that it is too damaging to the environment."
"Haha. If it's just a little bit of forest, it will be destroyed if it is destroyed." Dunn Dragonlance didn't care. The forest was so vast, so what did it matter if he destroyed a small area.
Duke shook his head and said: "Thousands of years later, when spiritual arcane magic is integrated into the entire society and arcane mages emerge in large numbers, I am afraid that people at that time will have to shout the slogan of 'protect the forest'."
Dunn Dragonlance was about to simply agree with Duke's cold joke.
Suddenly his expression changed.
Put your index finger to your mouth and shush.
Duke didn't understand why. As the land with a radius of more than ten miles was razed to the ground, the breathing method could not establish respiratory resonance with the plants, and his monitoring of the surroundings was greatly reduced.
Fortunately, he was able to answer the question with the eye of the arcane weapon that he showed up in time.
In the field of vision of the Arcane Eye, at this moment, a faint breath is escaping from the underground not far away to the ground.
"The evil aura of the gods!" Duke quickly understood what these weird auras were with the help of Xiao Yi, "There is the evil aura of the gods underground. Could it be that there are shed shells of the evil gods again, or... this Is there an evil creature living underground?"
He has consulted a lot of information about divine evil from the library of Offa Tower, and also consulted Thelsas and others.
Know that the gods are evil creatures that have existed since ancient times.
It seems that in the early days before all things developed, when living organisms were still single cells, the gods already existed in the wilderness continent, and they were constantly looking for springs of spirituality to feed on.
The gods feed on spirituality.
Especially likes to devour spiritual springs. When it swallows the spiritual springs entirely, it will leave abscess-like forbidden areas on the earth, which are called earth scars.
And with the help of scars on the earth, the evil spirits will be permanently integrated with the earth, immortal and eternal.
Even the Arcane Master has difficulty cleaning up the scars on the earth. He can only mark the scars as forbidden areas and let it go.
Duke only looked at the scar on the earth from a distance while the battleship was flying, but he had never seen the real evil. However, when he was young, he encountered the influence of the evil spirits shedding their shells in the Cuihai Valley. So far, the No. 3 mutant forest is still escaping evil energy.
After a long time, Dunn Dragon Knight ended his observation of the evil spirit of the gods. He took a deep breath and said, "What an unexpected surprise."
“Happy?” Duke was surprised.
"There is a young **** hidden under this earth. I found it by accident. Isn't it a great joy?"
"How to say?"
"To grow, the evil gods need to use the power of the spiritual spring to turn into scars on the earth, and the stars can't do anything about it. However, some evil gods will never grow into scars on the earth without swallowing the spring of spirituality. Such young evil gods are just a picture The anonymous spirit dragon card!”
Shennie, as the name suggests, can be named after "god", which shows that Shennie naturally possesses mysterious and unpredictable power.
After all, divine evil is an existence that can be divided into 10 rings.
Arcane mages often decipher the mysteries of spiritual arcana from divine beings. Every time they study a divine evil thoroughly, they can gain endless benefits.
"The Scar of the Earth is too dangerous. Even the Arcane Master can easily get lost in it. I don't dare to explore the Scar of the Earth anyway." Dunn Dragon Knight became more and more excited as he spoke. "But there is a young **** here, and it is very likely that he is The one that escaped in Cuihai City, haha, I should be rich!"
Duke saw this and smiled slightly: "Anyone who picks up money on the road will be rewarded."
Dunn Dragonlance laughed, shook his head and said: "Dragon Knight, it's not that I, Dunn, am stingy. The power of the gods is not as powerful as the stars, so you can't grasp it."
“It’s just a sin of childhood.”
"You can't control the young gods, I won't lie to you." Dunn Dragon Lance said sincerely, "The power of gods is weird and unpredictable, and it is especially good at charming the mind. Even the arcane mage of the sky is possessed by the power of gods. If infected for too long, it can also turn into dementia.”
“So scary?”
"It's more terrifying than what I described. This power can either be sealed or decomposed. There is no third option. So, you asked me to give you the benefits of nourishing the gods. In fact, I can't even share it with you." All scraps must be destroyed.”
"Okay." Duke had no choice but to give up, but asked curiously, "Then how are you going to collect this wealth, and what can you get from the gods?"
"I have no idea."
“Don’t know?” Duke asked.
Dunn Dragon Knight laughed and said: "It's just not knowing that is enough to surprise, isn't it? Maybe it contains the secret of the 9th Ring of Sunshine, maybe there is some idea of a forbidden spell, or even the Dragon Knight's breakthrough. The method…how I gain depends on whether the spirit loves me!”
