Chapter 361 Windbreaker
The Great Continent of Lingxing is a world where Duke travels a lot, and he often travels here to practice exclusive meditation methods.
Without the interference of intelligent creatures, Duke seemed to be the only one who dominated the whole world.
certainly.
When you encounter a divine being, you still have to run if you should.
“It’s here, Aaron, put down the water-proof tree.” Duke flew near another large spiritual spring.
The ignorant Aaron could not resist the power of the elf contract, so he obediently spit out a seed.
The seeds fell to the ground and thrived in the wind. Soon they grew into a huge water-sheltering tree in the pouring rain and quickly formed a dry area.
"Roar!"
Little Dou was released by Duke. One moment he rushed into the rain to hunt for food, and the next moment he returned to the water-proof cypress tree and took a nap against the trunk.
As for Aaron, the big elf, he was already surrounded by chickens, oak spirits and other big elves, and they were all greeting him.
How could the ignorant Aaron be baptized by civilization?
His brain shut down for a moment and he was at the mercy of the big elves, and then he started his first intimate contact with civilization.
“If there were no heavy rain and no evil spirits, this would be a perfect world.” Duke looked at the rain curtain in the distance and sighed in his heart.
The resources of the entire world will be at his disposal.
However, there is no spiritual arcana here. Everything is primitive and ignorant. Unless Duke can lead people to develop it together, he will not be able to make full use of the resources of this world.
"It doesn't matter, I'll practice well here for now." Shaking his head, Duke began to empty his mind and focus on practice.
at the same time.
In the wild continent of Earth Star, the Seven Towers Federation began a review of the arcane trajectory.
With such a large-scale operation of the Sinking Demon, the arcane trajectory could not be erased quietly, so Selsus quickly led people to find a breakthrough, and then followed the clues and discovered the remaining clues that the arcane trajectory had been erased.
“Two people, working together, it’s hard to imagine that there are actually two traitors in our team of stars!”
After finding the clues, Selsus immediately arranged the arrest of the two traitors of the stars: "Timerasu Wind God, take people to the Shivering Realm and control Sadik Pioneer Eye as soon as possible, and don't give him A chance to become a demon!"
"Okay." Timelas Fengshen's eyelids sank slightly, and frost covered her handsome face, "Shadick Pioneer Eyes, I'm so disappointed!"
“I’m not disappointed, I’ve been eyeing him for a long time, and this time I’m exposed, I’m asking for mercy!”
“Then I’ll go first.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for your news.”
When Timelasu Fengshen led the team to the Shivering Realm to capture Shadik Pioneer Eye, Thelsus also personally led the team to Ivy City.
Ivy City is one of the eighteen cities surrounding the Holy City of Offa, where the Life Research Institute is located.
Without any sound, Selsus and others quietly entered the tower of the Life Research Institute, and then quickly arrived at one of the laboratories on the first floor.
There were no researchers in the laboratory. When Selsus and others entered the depths of the laboratory, in front of rows of glass jars containing various organs, they saw a white-haired man with a stooped back. Arcane Mage.
Wearing red arcane robes, he is undoubtedly a star.
"You are here." The old star did not turn around, as if he already knew that Thersus and others would come.
Selsa stepped down, fixed his gaze on the old stars, and asked in a cold voice: "Karl Earl, why?"
"what why?"
"Why is that you!"
“Why can’t it be me, Mr. Speaker, don’t be surprised.”
Karl Earl turned around, with no wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were already cloudy. He smiled bitterly and said: "I can't look back. From the day I was seduced by the corrupt spirituality, I have been in the spiritual arcana." It’s a long way down the road.”
Looking at Selsus and the others, he found that there were four people there just for the bright moon, and there were a lot of morning stars, scattered in all directions.
The laboratory has been set up like a dragnet.
However, Karl Earl seemed unmoved. There was a trace of resentment in his wry smile: "I am the dean of the Life Research Institute. I have been exploring the field of life for countless years, but in the end, my achievements in the field of life have been surpassed one by one. !”
“What’s the point of this!” Sarilang sighed.
"Why bother?" Karl Earl suddenly sneered, "Sarilang, you are a prophet in the field of life, of course you can stand without pain in your back!"
Sa Rilang frowned: "My waist has always been strong. It doesn't hurt when I stand, sit or lie down!"
"Haha, you prophets, Sarilang, Lambert Raven, Lewis, Purcell Steel Lizard, and even Winter can all be added to the chief sage of Offa Tower, but No one cares about my feelings!"
There are five prophets in the realm of life, among whom Winter has not yet ascended to the stars.
Selsus hummed: "The supplement program of the chief sage of the Tower of Offa values the research results of spiritual arcana. Karl Earl, if you can't produce results in your research, of course you can't supplement it. Blaming everyone is not the magnanimity of the stars. !”
"So!" Carl Earl looked around and found Duke in a melon-eating state behind the four Huiyue.
This is Duke's oceanic alter ego.
He took a deep breath and smiled bitterly again: "So, you see, Duke became a prophet at the age of twenty-four. As for me, I am three hundred and forty years old this year, and I will return to true spirituality in twenty years. The sea, as a result, I can’t even choose a prophet.”
Don’t wait for others to answer.
He quickly continued what he said: "My path in spiritual arcana has come to an end in this life, but I am not willing to do it! I am not willing to occupy the position of dean of the Institute of Life and waste my whole life!"
“I don’t ask for anything else. Really, I just want to produce an important result that can seal my coffin after my death and prove that I have not wasted my time!”
“No matter what you ask for, you can’t get it!”
“This old man’s life has been such a tragedy!”
“I have no choice but to pray to the spirit and pray that the light of the spirit can respond to me once. However, what answers me is the corrupt spirit!”
Karl Earl said, with two turbid tears shed in his eyes: "On that night, that low seductive word made me embark on the road of no return. From then on, no matter how many times I sorted out the twisted... Huan, I can’t even find my original intention!”
“Is it just for a research result? I thought it was for immortality.” Franny Sanduck muttered after hearing this.
Karl Earl sneered and said: "Haha, so what if you live forever? I have lived for more than three hundred years and I have long been tired of living!"
He continued to look at Duke: "A status without honor is embarrassing. Duke, cherish everything you have. This time you escaped the attack of the Sinking Demon, but you may not be able to rely on it next time." Means evaded!”
“No need to worry about it, just go on your way in peace.” Duke responded calmly.
He did not have much interaction with Karl Earl. Although the other person was a star, he was not a prophet after all and had no chance to participate in Duke's cause.
But Duke remembered that Carl Earl supported him in every meeting of the stars.
I never expected that such a harmless old Qunxing would secretly collude with the Sinking Demon and want to kill him.
On the contrary, Perots Green Fox and Weasley, who had always opposed him, were cleared of suspicion. Fortunately, he guessed Sadiq Pioneer Eye correctly, otherwise he would have really doubted his ability to perceive.
“Karl Earl, are you going to capture the honor yourself without restraint, or are you going to let me and others capture you?” Selsus asked.
"Save some dignity." Karl Earl said sadly, "I am also a decent person after all."
There were no twists and turns. Karl Earl had known his end for a long time, so he chose to accept it peacefully. The Star Council also left a mark on him and did not announce it to the outside world as outlining the sins of the Sinking Demon, but announced his death.
With the dignity of the stars, send him to the sky and die in the strong wind layer.
However, another star far away in the Shivering Realm, Sodik Pioneer Eye, was not so dignified. During the arrest led by Timirasu Fengshen, Sodik Pioneer Eye did not choose to be captured, but escaped first. Want to go abroad.
He was intercepted by Timirasu Wind God at the border, and then directly degenerated into a fallen demon, trying to escape.
However, he was facing Timerasu Fengshen. Although his qualifications were inferior to those of Selsus and others, as an arcanist-turned-Hui Yue arcanist instructor, Timerasu Fengshen's combat effectiveness was comparable to He is said to be the first person in the world.
Directly destroy all the fallen demons that Sadik Pioneer Eyes had turned into.
In the past ten days, the Seven Towers Federation has lost two stars one after another. Among them, Shadik Pioneer Eye is also a prophet in the elemental realm. It can be said that the loss is not heavy.
But when the old man dies, the new man can appear.
With the vigorous development of spiritual arcane magic, many sky arcane mages have embarked on the journey of listening to the whispers of the stars, and will soon make their debut.
"Thank you for your understanding, Duke." After presiding over Karl Earl's funeral, Selsus found Duke and thanked Duke for agreeing to give Karl Earl a decent ending without announcing to the public that Karl Earl had colluded with the Sinking Demon. of sin.
"It's nothing. It didn't harm me or my family. I'm still very generous." Duke responded.
“Although Carl Earl gained dignity, his personal property resources, except for the part that his family had inherited, were confiscated. I think his mage tower is good. Although it is not a crystal palace, it is quite luxurious.”
"Well."
"No, I plan to compensate you for it." Selsus said.
"Compensate me?" Duke was surprised, but quickly refused, "Forget it, when I advance to the stars, I will build a crystal palace in the Mirror Lake of the Whale Song."
"Indeed, the ordinary mage tower is no longer worthy of your status. Let me make some plans and exchange the Crystal Palace left by Andre Evening Primrose into your hands." Selsus said, "Save it. You have to build another one.”
“Isn’t this bad?”
"There's nothing wrong with it. Andre's widow and descendants actually don't want the Crystal Palace. The common man is innocent of the crime. They plan to move out of the Holy City of Offa and settle in the eighteen surrounding cities. It happens that Karl Earl's The Mage Tower is also nearby, I’ve made the final decision!”
"In that case, I don't care." Duke smiled happily.
He has been to Andre Evening Primrose's Crystal Palace several times. It is the largest and most magnificent Crystal Palace in the entire Holy City of Austria, and it is enough to match his status as the world's number one sage.
With a little decoration, you can move in with your bags.
"Now that everything has settled, I plan to lead a team to explore the scar on the earth again and try to seal the scar as soon as possible. Then the Federation can continue to explore westward and determine the territory of the Wilderness Continent as soon as possible."
“Hope this time it goes well.”
"Haha, this time it will definitely go well. This battle of the Sinking Demon Sutra can be said to have severely damaged our vitality. No less than twenty Sinking Demons were wiped out by us. They can't make any big splash." Selsus stroked his beard and laughed, " Oh, by the way, you can also go back to Oak Tooth Mountain."
"good."
Duke soon returned from the ancient continent of Lingxing and continued to lead a number of research experiments.
Of course, the main focus is on the research on the Ring of Darkness. In addition, the research on mechas has not stopped, and the research and development of wind-breaking ships has also been added.
In this era, no one dares to challenge the Chapter of the Coronation Sun except Andre Evening Primrose.
Once that door is opened, even if you can't peek into the path of the Coronation Chapter, you will definitely have a huge surprise waiting for you.
"Of course, there is a door deep in the seabed. When the time comes, the Windbreaker will have to improve a new model, called the Abyss Ship." Duke has made up his mind, "I will take both directions of the Chapter of the Sun. I have to grasp it and choose the path that suits me best when the time comes!”
Duke’s stated goal is to reach the Chapter of the Crowned Sun and be promoted to the unprecedented level of 9th level Sunlight Arcane Master.
Time passes leisurely.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is March of the Storm Calendar 4444.
In the past five years, the Wilderness Continent has developed very rapidly, and the population of various countries has been growing explosively, especially the Seven Towers Federation.
There are as many nobles as crucian carp crossing the river, and they have opened up more and more habitats.
In order to develop their own habitats, the lords and lords have increased the benefits of talent recruitment and provided various welfare benefits to encourage fertility.
The wave of newborns has lasted for more than ten years. Not only has it not declined, but it has intensified.
In an ordinary family, if you have one child, you will be laughed at. If you have a second child, education will be free. If you have a third child, you will get a monthly bonus. If you have a fourth child, the lord will send you a banner. If you have a fifth child, the optical telescope will visit you. If you have a sixth child, you will be sent directly to Sanhai. University quota - There are Sanhai universities everywhere, not just the one in Oak Tooth Mountain.
The population is exploding, and arcane technology is also exploding.
The sound tube train has been laid. In theory, starting from any city in the federation, it can reach another city within ten hours.
Optical machines and optical brains have been widely used, and everyone has a laptop.
Ordinary people have also begun to stand out, bursting out with unparalleled energy and assisting the Sanhai monks in all walks of life.
Mechas have become the standard equipment of combat troops, just like lightsabers.
And from the original knight mecha, countless models of mechas have been developed, and exclusive mechas can even be customized. However, the Star Mecha has not yet been successfully developed, mainly because Duke has not been promoted to the Stars and does not understand the Stars well enough.
As for the other arcane mages in the puppet field, their research capabilities are far behind Xiao Yi, even with super-brain assistance.
Superin is just a supercomputer, but Xiaoyi is an intelligent brain.
The two are not the same.
However, the Seven Towers Federation's Intelligent Brain Project, which is a project to integrate the ancient spirits and the super brain, is also in the hands of Duke.
Growing a brain for the wise man is also a stated goal of Duke.
“Boom…”
To the west of Cuihai City, in an industrial area, factories stretch as far as the eye can see. Many of the factories are surrounded by large areas of flight stations.
A variety of aircraft are parked here, including shuttles, airships, battleships, and huge water-drop-shaped aircraft.
At this time, the sound came from the water-drop-shaped aircraft. It was a group of arcane mages who were processing the water-drop-shaped aircraft. Using arcane and alchemical methods to construct the internal structure of the drop-shaped aircraft is a quasi-arcane weapon casting method.
After a while, the sound stopped.
“Sir, the internal structure of the Windbreaker has been completed, and the test flight can begin.” The chief professor of the teardrop-shaped aircraft experiment is a sky arcane mage in the puppet field, who came all the way from the Arcane Holy City.
Wearing casual clothes, Duke still looks the same as before, but he has grown a mustache to make his appearance look more mature.
“Professor Fermal, let’s take a test flight.” Duke said, taking the lead in boarding the drop-shaped windbreaker.
With the opening of the sound tube train, airships and battleships have gradually been eliminated from arcane mages’ essential travel options. Even travel among the stars is now dominated by sound tube trains. Only in remote places that cannot be reached by sound tube trains, warships are used.
However, once the test flight of the broken wind ship is successful, I'm afraid the situation will change again.
The current broken wind ships are still far from reaching the standard of being able to cross the Gangfeng layer. However, they are equipped with the most advanced second-generation wind engine and use the ultra-brain control system to cast the 6-ring compound arcana - Feng Lin Jie. The speed of the broken wind ship is directly maxed out.
The current design maximum speed reaches 7,000 kilometers per hour.
It is nearly twice as fast as the sound tube train with a speed of 4,500 kilometers per hour, and can reach anywhere in the Seven Towers Federation in six hours.
Boom!
Following the ignition ceremony, the second-generation wind engine immediately spewed out powerful psychic power, and the wind-breaking ship rushed out of the apron in an instant.
The speed directly reached the speed of sound and broke through the sound barrier instantly, leaving a white trail.
Human pilots can no longer drive the windbreaker forward at such a high speed. Fortunately, there is a super brain to control it, and everything is under control.
It doesn't matter even if the driving is wrong, because the people who boarded the prototype of the windbreaker for the test flight are all clones of the Arcane Master, and it doesn't matter if they die.
So Duke and others were chatting and laughing in their respective seats while feeling the extreme speed of the windbreaker.
"Sir, after the successful test flight of the Wind-breaking Ship, it will be commercially produced within half a year. At that time, all Arcane mages will change their vehicles, and the Wind-breaking Ship will shine in the Wilderness Continent." Chief Professor Fermal said with a pleased smile. .
Duke smiled slightly: "Fimal, after completing the research and development of the windbreaker, it's time for you to attack the Chapter of the Stars."
Femar said with a reserved smile: "It all depends on your cultivation."
"You have this talent yourself. I have read the research of several sky arcane mages in the puppet field. You are the most suitable for the position of chief professor of the Windbreaker." Duke told the truth. When he selected the tool man, he actually studied several A sky arcane mage.
In the end, I felt that Fermar was more suitable.
In recent years, almost all the new stars come from Duke's disciples or are deeply influenced by Duke. Among the arcane mage group, a consensus has been formed - whoever can get close to Duke will have a great future.
“Sir, are you almost here?” Fimal asked.
"Well, it's almost done." Duke's eyes showed a look of pride, "Counting the time, I have been in the 6th ring for a long time, almost seven years."
It took him eight years to advance from level 4 to level 5.
It took him seven years to advance from level 5 to level 6.
Now that he has completed the sixth level, it is almost seven years. The difficulty of cultivation caused by the level is almost non-existent for him.
certainly.
This is also thanks to him making full use of the sage's time every time. After his mind is emptied, it is easier to achieve enlightenment. He can achieve enlightenment almost once or twice every year. This can greatly shorten the cultivation time of the sixth circle and be in time before the age of fifty. Completed.
This year, he is forty-eight years old.
"Sir, the speed of your cultivation is too exaggerated." Fimal shook his head and sighed, "I wasted a full seventy years on the sixth ring. If I hadn't received your support, I might have continued to waste...seven years. Unimaginable!”
“It’s nothing surprising, just a normal practice.” Duke Versailles said.
Then he turned his gaze to the outside of the windbreaker, and the earth receded like flowing water. This is almost impossible to happen on a battleship or airship, because due to the speed, the earth is relatively stationary. Only the broken wind ship can form such a picture.
It didn’t fly for too long. The pilot controlled the super brain, changed the flight direction, flew back, and soon began to slow down at the predetermined location.
The second-generation wind engine was reversed, and the windbreaker seemed to have hit a wall, and its speed dropped rapidly.
Then he slowly drove into the flight station.
Crash.
The staff waiting at the flight station, when Duke and others came down, clapped their hands and celebrated the successful first flight of the prototype of the windbreaker.
"Get ready to live broadcast the academic conference, Fimal." Duke patted Fimal on the shoulder and gave the limelight to the other party. Non-level achievements are no longer enough to tempt Duke. A sage must have the qualities of a sage. Reserved and stylish.
Femar said excitedly: "Thank you, sir!"
Subsequently, at this experimental base, an academic conference that was said to be broadcast live across the federation, but was actually broadcast live around the world, began.
The broken wind ship, which had been painted and finely adjusted, appeared in front of the people of the Wilderness Continent for the first time. Its exaggerated speed shocked countless people just like the mecha launch conference that day.
As the experimental sponsors of the Windbreaker, several large warship foundries in the Federation sent representatives to announce that the commercial version of the Windbreaker would accept customization.
And the price is not very high. Depending on the version, it ranges from 500,000 gold dragons to 5 million gold dragons. Of course, more luxurious private customizations are also accepted. As long as you can afford it, even windbreakers as big as the Floating City can be customized. .
Just a moment.
The manufacturer's words were blown away, and almost all the great mages called.
Orders started this year and were scheduled ten years later.
“Sir, I will no longer participate in the subsequent development of the windbreaker.” After finishing the development of the prototype of the windbreaker, Fermal said goodbye to Duke.
“Is it completed?”
"Yes."
"It just so happened that I just had an epiphany, and I have completed my cultivation." Duke smiled. Just last night, he practiced during the sage's time, and once again caught a chance, and then he had an epiphany. The sixth ring was directly cultivated to 99.99% progress. .
Just a little bit away from perfection.
Of course, this can be completed in a day or two, and Duke said that he had completed it: "You go back and listen to the whispers of the stars, and we will compete to see who can step onto the Chapter of the Stars first. At that time, the Stars Meeting Let’s talk again.”
"It must be you, my lord. How dare I, a pearl of rice, compete with your lord for the brightness of the bright moon." Fimal said humbly.
It’s not modest either, it’s true.
Duke's life span of less than fifty years has been exactly the same as his cultivation progress of more than two hundred years. It is not the same rank at all.
That night.
Duke and his wife Starlight Princess Sisili Hurricane fought until midnight, then entered the sage time, took a nap, and then went to the spire of Duke's sage mage tower.
Under the true starlight, I practiced an exclusive meditation method.
With his mind empty, the last boiling spiritual particle in the spiritual sea merged into the sixth ring, completing the complete closure of both ends of the ring.
Boom!
The sixth ring is officially complete!
It means that Duke has completed all the training of Sky Arcana Mage, and can now take the most important step of training - listening to the whispers of the stars.
“How to listen? All the stars say, it can only be understood but not expressed...” The doubt in Duke's mind had just arisen.
He felt as if his consciousness had escaped from his body and flown to the starry sky above his head.
At that moment, the stars in the sky flowed like water, forming the outline of a female body under the gaze of his wonderful senses.
A familiar feeling came over me.
Duke couldn't help but blurt out: "Goddess Nyx!"
