After seeing off Captain Zina, Duke didn’t think too much.
How the pioneering war proceeds has nothing to do with him. All he can do is pray that the Broken Sword Mercenary Group will not be destroyed.
He is also thinking about becoming a sponsor of Broken Sword after being promoted to Level 1 Arcane Mage.
"By the end of August, I should be able to be steadily promoted!" Returning to the breeding room, after teasing Dou for a while, Duke once again devoted himself to solidifying the spiritual core.
In the ring in the spiritual sea, in the light of chaos, you can vaguely see the arcane trajectory traced by the spiritual power.
Only when the spiritual power and the arcane trajectory are completely integrated and no longer distinguish between each other can it mean that the ring is completely composed of stable spiritual energy, which can no longer be divided, reversed, or broken, and thus solidified into a spiritual core.
"Work hard!"
Nothing could attract Duke's attention more than moving towards the arcane mage bit by bit. He truly devoted himself wholeheartedly.
Of course, you have to find time to do the work you should do.
Casting spells on the corn on the farm's 50 acres of land must be done every day; doing maintenance on the six-legged spirit puppet jars must be done once a week.
On this day, he took the maintenance materials and went down to the basement.
There are two basements: light and dark. A lot of debris has been piled up in the light basement, which just blocks the entrance to the dark basement.
The dark basement was transformed into a "parking garage" for jars.
The escape route to the outside world is the garage entrance and exit where the can comes out. Occasionally when night falls, he will sit on the can and go for a walk in the wild to enjoy the joy of controlling a puppet.
The only pity is that the can is not a driving type puppet.
More like a multifunctional robot.
Sitting on the disc-shaped body of the can does not provide a comfortable riding experience, especially when the speed increases, it is easy to fall off.
The core ring is put on the middle finger.
By introducing spiritual power, you can control the jar with your thoughts.
"Extend the leg." Duke directed the can to extend a mechanical leg, and then applied special maintenance oil to each joint position.
Although spiritual gold is magical, when exposed to the air, it will also react with free spiritual particles from the outside world, thereby producing traces of rust. Regular maintenance is required to block this rust path and ensure the flexibility of each joint.
It has been half an hour since one set of maintenance was done.
Duke asked Xiaoyi about the current time and found that it was already very late, so he gave up the idea of driving the can out for a walk.
Wave your hand.
The jar huddled in the corner, and Duke covered it with the tarp.
There was a ring of sand eagles hanging on the wall, and the light of the tactical light illuminated the dark basement clearly. He took the sand eagle and walked out of the basement.
I don’t want to sleep for a while.
Then I climbed up to the attic on the third floor and cooled off while counting the stars.
"There are countless stars in the sky, which are much brighter than the stars on the earth, but there is no similar constellation to be found."
There is no Orion, no Ursa Major, no Big Dipper, and no Cowherd and Weaver Girl.
There is the sun and there is the moon.
The Seven Towers Federation's understanding of the universe has not spread among ordinary people, but the high-level officials definitely have a lot of information about the starry sky.
Because the Star Tower, one of the seven towers, is a tower that exists for astrology.
This Tower of Stars only stands in the capital, the Holy City of Arcane. It is said that every few decades, the arcane mages of the Tower of Stars can enlighten and lead the future through prophecies brought by astrology.
"So, where is this world?" Duke looked above his head and did not see a Milky Way across the sky. "If I can't see the Milky Way, does it mean that the world I am traveling to now no longer belongs to the Milky Way?" p>
No answer.
Maybe this is just a parallel world, not the same universe as the earth.
……
Cuihai Valley.
The pioneering war is in full swing.
Boom!
The ground shook one after another, and clods of earth continued to fall in the dark cave passage.
"Oops, I got hit on the head!" A voice like a little doll sounded, "Red Branch, let's run away quickly. If we don't run away, we won't be able to escape."
"..."
"Can't you see it yet? Human beings are here to catch you, to dry you into dried meat, no, to turn you into a specimen, with the same result as that stupid big scorpion in the future."
"..."
"You ants are just too stupid. Let me tell you, you shouldn't have found a new nest for the little fat guy. No, it must have been caught by humans. Well, I guess it will have been skinned and started to make specimens.
...Red Branch, this is your fate!"
"..."
"Come on, come with me, let's escape together!"
Wow, at the other end of the flashing green light channel, there seemed to be a heavy body rubbing against the wall. Soon, under the green light, a ferocious ant head appeared.
A well-developed upper jaw, a reflective carapace, and two trembling tentacles.
This huge ant cannot speak, but only waves its tentacles vigorously, as if to express something.
The little doll's voice sounded from the side, and the tone was particularly surprising: "Wow, Hongzhi, have you finally figured it out? You want to run away with me!"
"..."
"Okay, okay, let's escape quickly. By the way, where should we escape? To the spiritual spring... Why don't you go? But other directions are blocked by humans. Those airships are so annoying. They can turn the entire underground into
Hard lump!"
"..."
"Ah, run away to human territory, and then go around to the forest from other places. Wow, Red Branch, you are so smart!"
"..."
"Let's go, let's go!"
The little doll urged with a smile, and suddenly said loudly: "Hongzhi, take my Ji Yulu with you!"
The giant ant's head touched with its tentacles, and then the ant stretched out a pair of mandibles, pointed at the green glowing opponent, opened its mouth to inhale, and the green and glowing thing was attracted into its stomach.<
/p>
The crypt passage turned pitch black, and the little doll's voice shouted: "Let's go!"
Wow!
There was a sound of friction between the body and the wall in the darkness. The sound went from near to far, and soon disappeared, leaving only the rumbling sound above the head.
I don’t know how much time passed, but along with a violent explosion, a light suddenly shone through the dark cave passage.
That's the light shining in from the sky.
The underground passage has collapsed.
Snap!
A mercenary jumped in, looked at the passage that could barely walk upright, and shouted loudly: "The ant queen royal family has been discovered!"
Soon more mercenaries jumped down and dived deeper into the passage.
But a few minutes later, a mercenary crawled out yelling: "The queen is gone, damn it, the biggest fish is gone, the arcane mages are going to jump again!"
"Chase!" The mercenary leader outside immediately ordered, "This 5-ring queen ant is the largest, and the traces are the most obvious wherever it crawls. We must chase it! Brothers, as long as you complete this task first,
You will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life!"
"Do it!"
"Catch up, it's only 5 rings, I'm scared of you!"
"Yes, just catch up and send the signal. With the Arcane Masters taking action, we can just wait and make a fortune!"
The mercenaries entered the crypt passage one after another, then carried the spirit wind lamp, carefully studied the scratches on the wall, and quickly followed towards the passage.
