After staying over the Spring of Spirituality for a moment, Penrose urged the airship to set sail and left Cuihai Valley.
Cuihai Valley is not yet a safe habitat for humans. If you stay too long, it will not be wonderful if you are attacked by a powerful spiritual beast dormant in Cuihai Valley.
Return to Penrose Mage Tower in Shenjiao City.
Duke's life has returned to its previous peace, with daily practice, study, and research, from nine to five.
Before I knew it, it was already December.
"Sir, there are not enough tail stinger consumables for the 2-ring spirit beast-Icy Needle Bee." Leader Dras of the research team came to report.
"Is the spiritual material department out of stock?"
"No more."
"Yes, I understand." Duke dismissed Dras and then told Mulali, "Send a letter to Broken Sword and ask them to pay attention to the second-ring spirit beast - Ice Needle Bee."
"Okay, sir." Mulali turned to write a letter.
Arcane mages need too many materials for research, and the spiritual materials department of the mage tower cannot meet all needs, so they need to sponsor mercenary groups to find supplies anytime and anywhere.
Compared with experimental research, the golden dragon that sponsors the mercenary group is nothing at all.
When necessary, Duke goes to the forest to hunt a few 3-ring spirit beasts, and the money from selling the materials is enough to support the mercenary group.
After becoming an arcane mage, money is basically just a bunch of numbers.
Dangdangdang.
Shanfeisi stood in front of the office door, knocking on the door, and asked: "It's time to get off work, why don't you go and have a drink?"
"I can't do it today, I've made an appointment with a friend to have dinner together," Duke replied.
"Is there Joanna?"
"No."
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore." Shanfeisi yawned and quickly stepped away.
Duke sorted out the research data on the table, Xiaoyi quickly calculated the data and gave the results, and then he copied the results into the paper.
Research topics naturally end with a paper.
Arcane mages are equivalent to a group of powerful scientists, constantly exploring the world they live in, discovering truths, and inventing technologies.
Truth and technology need to be spread.
Papers are the best carrier.
Click, click, click, the typewriter made a creaking sound, and words were printed on the paper through ink one by one.
The characters of the Seven Towers Federation are ideographic characters.
The creation date is relatively recent, after the establishment of the Seven Towers Federation, the arcane mages simplified the arcane ring system and expressed various meanings with spiritual abstract symbols, forming the current "Tawen", also known as "Spiritual Magic Words"
.
After printing his thesis information, Duke locked it in the drawer.
The project is now only about 20% complete, and more data needs to be collected before a formal paper can be published.
"Sir, the letter has been sent. Are you off work now?" Mulali returned to the office with light steps.
Duke looked up and gave the girl a faint smile: "Pack up, let's go."
"Hmm!"
Soon the two of them walked out of the office and took the spiritual ladder to the castle. The entourage and driver were already waiting in the hall outside the spiritual ladder room.
After rendezvous, we left Master Penrose Tower in a Tiger car.
Back at No. 17 Beverly Manor, Duke asked Mulali to bring a bottle of cellared red wine, and then drove to Shangxingcheng Community.
Park the car.
The door to the villa has been opened, and the butler has been waiting at the door for a long time: "Mr. Duke, welcome to your arrival."
"This is my gift." Duke motioned to Mulali to pass the red wine.
Then, under the leadership of the housekeeper, they entered the villa. On the sofa in the living room of the villa, Joanna was lying on it, with no ladylike appearance at all.
"Hi, Duke!"
"Joanna, you are here too." Duke said hello.
"Look what you said, Margot is my best friend. She is holding a banquet, so of course I have to come and attend." Joanna stood up, patted the seat next to her, and motioned for Duke to sit over.
Duke sat down, but kept a little distance from Joanna.
Joanna sighed: "The experiment has no clue. I feel that I inherited my father's will and have no talent in the field of research... I shouldn't choose the energy fusion route to solidify my spiritual core. I should choose elements."
Decompose it and become an arcanist directly!"
Joanna's father, Jovis Lynx, is the only arcane mage among the members of the Five Towers Council who has not received the title of scholar.
However, considering that Jovis is an arcanist who prefers fighting, it is understandable that he does not have the title of scholar.
"Are you going to Spike City for academic exchange? Are you stimulated? Are you so anxious to get results?" Duke asked curiously.
"After being guessed by you, I saw several peers, or women of the same age, asking me for advice with their papers... The hypocritical smile on her face made me want to tear her face apart, so bitch
It's gone!" Joanna scratched her hair, very irritated.
"Why bother about this."
"What do you kid know? I am the consultant of Shenjiao City Hotel, and she is the consultant of Rainbow Bay City Hotel. Do you think I can care less?"
"Um...is this business competition? It's a bit...unpretentious."
Joanna said carelessly: "Business competition requires some fancy operations. We consultants are better than them, so we can naturally steal their business! If it weren't for the competition between Shenjiao City Hotel and Rainbow Bay City Hotel this time, I would
Too lazy to go to Spike City to participate in academic exchanges!"
There are eight major regions in the Wind Breathing Area, Shenjiao City, Rainbow Bay City, Spike City, and Angry Cape City, each of which belongs to one of the regions.
As she said that, Joanna patted Duke on the shoulder happily: "Little Duke, you have to work hard. The first time I saw you, I felt that you have a talent for doing research. Work hard and you will not be able to do this kind of academic research in the future."
Communication is all left to you!"
"Can you also see my research talent?" Duke was surprised, "Do I really look like...a scholar? Chief Director Erwin also said a while ago that I have the talent to be a scholar.
Points, where did you see it?"
"Chief Director Erwin?" Joanna laughed, "Every time he sees a young arcane mage, he wants to drag him to his Erudite Tower, so when he meets people, he says that the other person has the talent of an erudite. He doesn't hide it.
He also praised me once."
"Uh..." Duke smiled awkwardly.
Joanna changed the subject: "However, you do have a bit of a scholar's temperament, and your understanding is so good, you are definitely suitable for research."
Just saying.
Margot put on an apron and walked out of the kitchen: "Duke, I'm sorry for not greeting you, I'm working with the cook on tonight's dessert."
"Ms. Margot, food is the greatest welcome to me." Duke greeted with a smile.
We are all consultants at the Shenjiao City Hotel, so we occasionally have dinner appointments together, and we all belong to the same arcane mage circle.
Margot and Duke hugged each other gently, and then said to Joanna: "Don't stay on the sofa, take Duke upstairs, and help him introduce the students of Master Williams Tower."
"I know, I know, hurry up and cook." Joanna stood up and took Duke to the second floor of the villa.
We went upstairs together, and Duke suddenly thought of something: "I have a classmate named Shanfeisi, and I have always wanted to invite you to dinner. Are you free?"
"Sanfis?" Joanna thought for a while, "I seem to remember the one who looks like a donkey? Please help me tell him that I have never been free!"
Looks like a donkey?
Duke asked Xiaoyi to project the image of Shanfeisi on the Douqi holographic screen. After careful observation, except that the face was a bit longer and narrower, he didn't think it looked like a donkey.
