Duke, who had a red mark on his chest and a green mark on his belly, allowed Xiaoyi to continue solidifying his spiritual core at 85% power.
I rode my bicycle and went to the town to find out the news.
Last night's airship chase caused quite a stir in the town, and Duke soon got the news from a mercenary from the Broken Sword Mercenary Group.
"Ah, I heard that we captured a 5-ring queen ant!" The mercenaries did not see it with their own eyes, but the news came. "They all said that this queen ant gave birth to wisdom, and it was she who directed the invasion of underground army ants.
Farm, but the airship caught the 5-ring queen ant and flew directly to Shenjiao City."
"Didn't you rest in Sheshou Town?"
"No, except for the Sunset airship from Erwin's Master Tower, which is resting in Snake Head Town, the other airships in the airship brigade have all evacuated. The Pioneer War Command's mission of dispatching our mercenary group has also come to an end."<
/p>
"Okay, is Captain Zina back?"
"No, there are still a large number of burrowing army ants on the front line that need to be cleared away, and the large troops will need to delay their return for a few days." The mercenary returned to the station early because he was delivering goods. "Do you still want to buy ant meat?
I can sell you a few at half price."
Knowing that there is cooperation between Duke and the regiment leader, the mercenary is happy to be a favor.
Duke shook his head: "I won't buy it for now, I don't have enough money on hand."
In fact, after selling many arcane cards one after another, he already has more than 300 golden dragons on his spirit dragon card. There is also a 2-ring arcane card - Python Shadow Binding. If this card is also used, Personal Tentacles
There will be as many as four hundred golden dragons.
However, considering that I am about to be promoted to Level 1 Arcane Mage, I want to buy a house in Shenjiao City and settle down, and I have to spend money on everything, I am not willing to spend it frivolously.
Leave Broken Sword station.
While riding his bicycle, Duke said to himself: "You heard it, right? The red branch was picked up by the airship and sent to Shenjiao City... It should be greeted by a fate like a guinea pig, but you said,
The IQ of red branches is not outstanding. Maybe the arcane mages will soon lose interest and dry it into dried meat to avoid the pain."
The green mark on the belly flickered, stimulating a little warmth.
Apparently chicks can hear sounds outside.
It expressed its anger at the scene described by Duke, and expressed reluctance to part with the red branches, but it didn't seem to be so reluctant to part with them.
The reason is that there are ant eggs on red branches in Duke's villa.
Although the red branch will die, its bloodline will continue again with the help of this ant egg, just like a new red branch is born.
"But, chick, the red branches should have laid countless ant eggs..." Duke still remembered that he asked about it last night.
The chick replied seriously: "That's different. This ant egg is the last egg of a red branch, and it will hatch into a small red branch!"
"What do you mean?"
"The red branch is different from other big ants, and this egg is different too!"
Duke was still a little confused at the time, but now there is some vague speculation that Red Branch is a rare 5-ring bloodline queen among burrowing army ants.
The ant eggs it usually lays should be known as ordinary 3-ring bloodlines.
But only this one has inherited its 5-ring bloodline, and the new ants hatched in the future will be 5-ring burrowing army ants.
Duke also discovered that the emotions of these non-human creatures, whether it be chicks or red branches, may have human-like parts, but there are also many parts that are different from humans. For example, they are very sensitive to the parting and inheritance of life.
More calmly.
The chick lost the red branch, but with the ant egg on its head, it seemed that it had not lost the red branch.
At this moment.
Xiaoyi suddenly sent a message: "Master, there is only 0.01% left to complete the work of solidifying the spiritual core. Do you want to complete the final step yourself?"
"Yes!" Duke pedaled the bicycle hard.
I quickly returned to Little Duke Farm and rushed to the second floor of the villa.
After traveling to this world for more than a year, he finally reached the most important point. He just wanted to complete it himself and witness it for himself.
……
"Are you going to be promoted to arcane mage, Duke?" The chicken has already rested, recovered from the mark state, and is wagging its tail and swimming in the air again.
"Not bad."
"Looking at it this way, you are quite powerful among humans, Arcane Mage." Xiaoji said.
Most of what it knows about humans comes from its "spirit" grandma.
In addition, the Cuihai Valley spirit beast was recently tortured and killed by the arcane mage, making the arcane mage become synonymous with power in its mind.
Duke is about to be promoted to arcane mage, which will finally impress him.
"Even more powerful things are yet to come, little chicken, don't feel wronged by following me. In five or ten years, you will become the luckiest little elf."
"Oh." Xiaoji said perfunctorily.
Duke stopped talking nonsense and waved to Little Kabuto.
Xiao Dou first bared his teeth at the chicken, and then he meekly jumped into Duke's arms: "Chi Chi."
"Good little Kabuto, please help me stay on guard and don't let anyone in to disturb me."
"Jiji!"
Xiao Kabuto took the order and immediately jumped onto the beam, staring at the door to remain on high alert.
Duke took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the futon made by Sister Sally, closed his eyes, and his mind quickly sank into the spiritual sea.
In the center of the spiritual sea, the dim ring is particularly attractive.
The dazzling nine-ring art and the shining one-ring sand eagle, no matter how bright they are, cannot steal the limelight of this dim ring and become the focus.
Duke stared at the ring and quickly found the last trace of spiritual power and arcane magic that had not yet been integrated on the ring.
Thought guidance.
Forced fusion.
Perhaps because he was too excited, the first attempt failed, but Duke quickly adjusted his rhythm, and his control over the spiritual sea allowed him to quickly combine this last trace of spiritual power with the arcane method it drew.
The trajectories merge into one.
Pat.
It's like a drop of rain falling into the sea.
The next moment, the entire dim ring, along with the last trace of energy fusion, formed the most stable spiritual state. Then the ring quickly spread out in a strange state, slowly and quickly, and spread to the entire spiritual energy in a matter of seconds.
sea.
The ring of spiritual energy also disappears into the spiritual sea as it continues to spread.
Ring.
Disappear.
But the entire spiritual sea, which was originally pitch black with only the bright stars, gradually began to become brighter, as if countless spiritual energies were filling it.
The light goes fast, and the dark goes fast.
At the same time, in the center of the spiritual sea, the dim ring that had disappeared appeared again. And it was still the most eye-catching existence in the field of vision, but compared with before, its breath had a hint of eternal flavor, as if the spiritual spirit
It was already formed when the sea first opened.
"The solidified spiritual core... This is my solidified spiritual core... The spiritual sea is its dispersion, it is the concentration of the spiritual sea, it is the rule of all arcane trajectories, and it is also the underlying logic of the world's operation."
Duke's mind has left the spiritual sea and returned to reality.
But he still closed his eyes, carefully comprehending the cognitive changes brought about by solidifying his spiritual core.
"If I used to be a drop of water on a splashing wave, then I am now a drop of water falling back into the water."
"Although I am still just such a small drop, I have become one with thousands of water droplets, and I share the entire river, lake, and ocean with them."
"I'm here!"
"But my future can be in the deep sea, in the clouds, in mountain streams, or in magma. I am everywhere!"
"Wherever there is spiritual mystery, there is my presence."
"Because I have become a part of the spiritual arcana." Duke opened his eyes, with a heartfelt happy smile on his lips.
This sentiment may be a bit exaggerated, but solidifying the spiritual core means integrating into the realm of spiritual arcane magic. At a small level, it is just a promotion to a level 1 arcane mage, and you can have more exposure to some spiritual arcane magic; at a larger level, the spiritual arcane magic is extended.
The end is the end he can reach.
"One is the present and the other is the future."
"Spirituality will guide me to that glorious future. This is my confidence as a newly promoted level 1 arcane mage."
Duke stood up and grinned under the gaze of Little Chicken and Little Kabuto: "My friends, now, let me have the honor to announce to you that the person in front of you is... the first-level arcane mage Duke!" Vote for recommendation
