Felibelle handed over a document, which had the patterns of three knight medals and special symbols embedded inside.
The special symbols are three types of insects - gadfly, cantharis, and cockroach.
"This is... the exclusive knight's medal required by the future knights of the Bernoulli family, right?" Duke saw the three kinds of bugs and knew who they were designed for.
Philiber did not deny: "That's it. The research content is to embed three patterns into three knight medals respectively, and to formulate the operation process of embedding patterns so that the card repairmen can modify the medals in the future." p>
After saying that, he quietly waited for Duke's reply.
The arcane mage has a special identity certificate - the spell card, which contains all the information about the arcane mage.
The green spell card represents the spiritual apprentice, the blue spell card represents the arcane mage, and the purple spell card represents the arcane mage.
Knights and spiritual envoys also have corresponding identification certificates.
The knight uses a medal, which is a special form of the spirit card, and is still essentially a spirit card; the spirit planter uses a ribbon, which is also a special form of the spirit card.
Medals and ribbons are both spiritual cards, so they naturally require the help of a card maker to make them.
"Medal and ribbon are just modified magic cards. It is not difficult for me to modify a magic card and develop a process that is convenient for card makers to modify it. But Director Philiber, I am just a novice card maker. Why?
Do you want to leave this topic to me?"
Duke didn't quite understand it. It felt like it was a deliberate assignment, and it was too good for him.
Philiber smiled and explained: "Because the income is not high...for this design job, novice card makers are usually hired, and you are the latest novice, so...originally I planned to find Shanfeisi to take over.
, but he hasn’t successfully made a card yet..."
After saying this, Duke understood.
Knights and spiritual envoys, as branches of spiritual arcana, are part of extraordinary power, and naturally need to record their identities.
There are specialized agencies responsible for both, and they will eventually be stored in the Magic Spirit Tower.
Medals and ribbons are also provided by the Magic Spirit Tower. However, Master Bernoulli was preparing to establish a family and needed to customize medals and ribbons with unified symbols for the family's vassals, so he approached the Magic Spirit Tower and requested a unified design.
Naturally, Faling Tower is not willing to pay a high price for such a trivial matter.
So I selected partners among novice card makers to work with and conducted transactions in a project-based manner, which not only helped the card makers practice their skills, but also saved money.
"I'll take it, Mr. Director." Duke understood clearly and said, "By the way, don't the Bernoulli family want to design a ribbon?"
"No need. Bernoulli is a Gu scholar. The family will definitely focus on domesticating Gu insects in the future. It will need a large number of Gu knights as vassals, so it will design an exclusive knight medal... There should be no special needs for spiritual planters.
."
"I understand, this is a medal designed for Gu Knight."
Gu knights are also knights, but their contracted spirit beast partners are artificially domesticated spirit insect females to control the insect swarm.
Bernoulli is a fourth-level arcane mage, so the family he established must be huge, and there will be a large number of Gu knights as vassals.
After accepting the project, Duke will study it seriously.
This kind of subject does not require writing a paper, but you can make money directly after producing the results. The price given by the Magic Spirit Tower is 120 gold dragons, which is equivalent to the price of a 2-ring arcane card.
"It's really cheap, but it's better than nothing." Today's Duke is no longer sensitive to the golden dragon.
I remember that he could worry about 23 Silver Dragons for several days, but now he gets a large amount of Gold Dragons every year, so he no longer has to worry about money.
The consulting fee of the Shenjiao City Hotel is 1,500 gold dragons a year; the dividends from Youshi Clothing Company's shares are worth thousands of gold dragons a year; the dividends from black snake spirit gold factory's dry shares are worth several hundred gold dragons a year; Duke James
The farm can also provide a lot of income in the future.
I used to do a project at Master Penrose Tower and resell some spiritual materials, and I also made a lot of money.
Follow the Broken Sword mercenary group to hunt, and the spirit beasts you hunt can also sell a lot of golden dragons. In short, you will never be short of money again.
After leaving the director's office, Duke did not leave Faling Tower.
Instead, I went to the card department and asked for a few blank knight medals and spiritual planter ribbons, and looked at them carefully for a while.
"Xiaoyi, do you remember?"
"The internal spell model structures of the Green Knight Medal, the Green Knight Medal with Blue Stripes, and the Blue Knight Medal have been recorded. The internal spell models of the Green Ribbon, the Green Ribbon with Blue Edge, and the Blue Ribbon have been recorded. The structure of the medals and ribbons has also been recorded.
Live."
"Very good!"
Duke returned the medal and ribbon to the card department, and then prepared to leave the Magic Tower.
While leaving, he ordered Xiaoyi: "Add a new process to embed the three spirit insect patterns on the file I just looked at into the knight's medal, and organize the embedding steps into steps that a card maker can operate.
..."
"Good master, I have added a new process for you." Xiaoyi responded quickly, "Process 4: Knight Medal Integration, R&D consumes 22.5% power..."
"Reduce the research and development efficiency of the special effect bullet version of Sand Eagle 1.5 and increase the consumption power of process four to 32.5%."
"Good master, the adjustment has been successful."
Meditation methods and the construction of illusion arcane wonders take up most of the power, so the process of increasing topics does not allow much power to be allocated.
We can only reduce the R&D power of Sand Eagle 1.5 special effect bullet version first.
Taking a look at the progress chart, Duke shook his head and saw the development progress of the Sand Eagle 1.5 bullet special effects version. The progress was less than one-third.
The development of this special effect bullet is more difficult than previous versions.
"And to be precise, this can only be regarded as the Sand Eagle 1.51 Bullet Special Effects-Physical Edition. It is relatively difficult to develop hollow bullets, shotguns, and armor-piercing bullets for the bullets themselves. Wait until the Sand Eagle 1.52 Bullet Special Effects-Elemental Edition is really big.
Challenge."
Sand Eagle 1.51 bullet special effects-physical version, Sand Eagle still belongs to the category of firearms.
When the Sand Eagle 1.52 Bullet Special Effects - Elemental Edition is released, the Sand Eagle will truly become an arcane weapon, releasing powers in arcane categories such as thunder, fire, freezing, venom, etc.
"Slow down, just slow down, it's very safe now, don't worry." Duke thought.
……
Regarding the design of the Knight Medal, Xiaoyi only spent one day and one night before formulating a detailed plan.
Duke used a 1-ring slide card to record this plan.
Slide cards are common civilian cards. Like storage cards, they range from ring 1 to ring 3. Its function is to record and playback images.
From Duke's perspective, this is an alien version of television.
Since the invention of the slide card, the entertainment industry has boomed rapidly, and national singers and photo idols have quickly become popular throughout the federation.
However, the slide card has a huge flaw, that is, it cannot record coherent images. It can only play pictures like a slideshow and play sounds like a tape.
This also led to the fact that movies, television and other entertainment were never born in the Seven Towers Federation.
"In the final analysis, the capacity of the slide card is insufficient, and the picture playback cannot be consistent. Even a three-ring slide card cannot achieve the number of frames that meets the viewing needs." Duke checked the recorded content of the one-ring slide card in his hand. He learned when he was on Earth that when the frame rate of the picture seen by the human eye exceeds 10-12 frames per second, it will be considered coherent.
However, to achieve movie-viewing-level effects, at least 24 frames per second must be met.
"The frame rate of the slide card is too low and the capacity is even lower... If I overcome the technical problems and develop movie cards, TV cards, and music cards based on the slide card, I will probably not be able to win the title of Card Making Sage!"
Duke began to think freely again.
With the knowledge of the earth, Duke has too many things he wants to achieve in this world.
Suddenly.
A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and Duke's eyes suddenly shone: "Why do I always stare at a single spiritual card? The capacity and frame rate of a slide card are too low, and it can only be used as a store sign or poster. If
Countless slide cards united?"
Thinking of this, he suddenly became enlightened.
The arcane mages of the Seven Towers Federation are extremely smart, but they are limited by their own cognition - they always want to make a big splash on a spirit card and believe that their skills can play countless tricks on a spirit card.
.
But the upper limit of a spirit card is too low.
Even if it is upgraded to a 3-ring slide card, its small capacity may not be enough to play a video, and it cannot play many tricks.
"A 1-ring slide card stores several pictures, and then countless 1-ring slide cards are connected in series through a machine to play the images intermittently to reach a speed of more than 24 frames. Wouldn't it be possible to play real videos?" The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Duke couldn't help it anymore: "This is going to be great!"
The next moment, he made a decision: "From now on, I will specialize in slide cards! After learning the slide cards clearly, I started to invent movies... No, it should be called Spirit Shadow or Phantom... It doesn't feel appropriate, so it's better to call it
Movies and TV are ready!"
TV and movies combined together are called film and television.
"Open theaters, make movies and TV shows, and cultivate stars... I want to be an entertainment industry oligarch in the Seven Towers Federation and even the world!"
The dream is grand, but it is not difficult to realize.
Duke knew that what he needed to do now was to lay a solid foundation, invent the video card or video card machine first, register the patent and then talk about the follow-up.
So he applied for a batch of blank spiritual cards from the Spiritual Materials Department of Master Penrose Tower, and began to focus on learning to make slide cards.
With Xiaoyi always following up and having complete experience in making spirit storage cards, the progress of the slide card production went smoothly.
In less than five days, Duke successfully produced the first slide card.
At the same time, he also went to the Faling Tower to hand over the previously designed Knight Medal plan to Philiber.
"The design was completed so quickly?" Felibelle was a little surprised as she held the 1-ring slide card with the plan on it, "It only took six days, and the time I gave you was one month."
"It's not very difficult, so it doesn't take long." Duke responded with a smile, and then received the 120 gold dragon funds.
Philiber sighed: "I believe now that you have made the right choice, and that you will make outstanding achievements in the field of card making. It is a pity that Lord Suktara has to find another arcane mage who can inherit what she has learned.
”
"Lord Suktara will find it."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. You have proven your talent. I still have a few projects in hand that I can cooperate with you."
Philibert decided to invest in Duke and give Duke priority on the topic at hand.
However, Duke refused with a smile: "Sorry, Director Filibre, I feel that my foundation is not solid enough. I am not ready to take on any more projects outside the tower at this stage. I want to focus on studying for a while."
"Really? Let's wait until you finish your studies before we can cooperate again." Felibelle did not force it.
On the contrary, I admire Duke’s performance.
If you are an arcane mage who only cares about making money through research, you will not be able to go far in the research field. Only by knowing the choices and making up for your own shortcomings can you have better development prospects.
"Hi, Duke."
As soon as I arrived at the coffin room and waited for the coffin, I heard someone saying hello.
Duke looked back and saw that it was Joanna Bobcat, and asked curiously: "Joanna, why are you here?"
"I work in the Faling Tower, so of course I will show up here. What I'm curious about is you. Why did you come to the Faling Tower? Do you have something to do with Director Philiber?" Joanna asked in return. This floor is filled with Director Philiber.
's office.
"I have completed a research project and need to hand it over to Director Filibre."
"No!" Joanna exclaimed, "Are you now able to take on research projects from outside? This progress is too fast."
"Don't be so surprised, it's just a very simple content."
"That's pretty cool. I've been promoted to arcane mage for several years, but I haven't even written a paper... Let's talk in my office."
"You are an arcanist and I am an arcane scholar. This is different." Duke said.
"There is no difference. Arcanists can also get the title of scholar, but I inherited my father's will, so I have no interest in academic research. I prefer war. You know, I have been in Cuihai Valley during this time.
Join the war."
"You participated in the war in Cuihai Valley?"
"Of course, Bernoulli's Wizard Tower has mobilized an army of bugs. We have to compete with them for resources, otherwise those bugs will eat everything." Joanna said, and sighed again, "It's a pity that they have to hunt that black one."
Jade Scorpion King, my father sent me back."
"He is for your safety."
The Black Jade Scorpion King is a 7-ring spiritual beast, and its life level has been transformed. Although it cannot defeat the great arcane mage, it is a huge threat to ordinary arcane mages.
"I understand, so I came back obediently, but there will always be regrets, right... But you know, I personally participated in killing a 5-ring black jade scorpion, and my arcane magic hit the black jade scorpion.
It’s like scratching an itch, it’s so exciting!”
"I don't know what it feels like. The strongest spiritual beast I have ever faced was just a three-ring swamp crocodile." Duke laughed.
But in my heart, I thought of Xiao Hong, who was raised in my villa.
Xiaohong is of the bloodline of the 5-ring burrowing army ants. When she matures, she will have a powerful ant colony and will not be much weaker than the Black Jade Scorpion.
"So, I really want to face the 7-ring Black Jade Scorpion King directly."
While Joanna was talking, the assistant knocked on the door and came in: "Sir, there is an urgent letter from Snake Head Town, concerning your father, Lord Jovis!"
"What happened to my father?" Joanna took the letter and quickly opened it and read it.
Duke saw her expression change and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
Joanna's expression was serious. After putting down the letter, she took a deep breath and said: "A terrifying giant insect appeared in Cuihai Valley, suspected to be the 9th ring. Bernoulli, Erwin, and Williams were three arcane earth mages. The ring of projection was broken.
My father was also seriously injured!"
"9 Rings!" Duke was startled and asked quickly, "Lord Jovis, are they safe now?"
"We have returned to Sheshou Town. The nine-ringed giant insect was diverted away by the airship. I don't know what happened next. My father didn't write it."
"Don't be nervous Joanna, Lord Jovis will be fine."
"No, I have to go home and wait for my father..." Joanna was very panicked. Nine-ringed spirit beasts were already the ceiling for spirit beasts.
Spiritual beasts of this level are often called Yalongs.
Humans have not seen anything with 10 rings, and it is only mentioned in legends. The 10-ring spirit beast is called a dragon - it is not the same species as the dragon that evolved from the phantom beast. The dragon is the evolution of the phantom beast, and the dragon is the legendary beast.
There is a huge gap between the two.
The 9-ring spiritual beast next to the dragon is the sub-dragon. It is said that the life level of the sub-dragon will transform into the legendary dragon.
Therefore, Yalong often has great magical powers.
Joanna hurried back, and Duke also left the Faling Tower.
After getting into the Tiger car and looking at Mulali who was humming softly beside him, he felt a little worried, wondering what was going on in Sheshou Town.
"9-ring spirit beast, Yalong!"
"Back then, the 7-ring Black Jade Scorpion King almost destroyed the Snake Head Town... I never expected that there would be a Yalong hidden in Cuihai Valley!"
Everyone thinks that the 7-ring spiritual beast, the Black Jade Scorpion King, is the ruler of Cuihai Valley.
"I hope this dragon will not invade Sheshou Town." Many of Duke's acquaintances live in Sheshou Town, as well as Mulali's family. "It is only a medium-sized spiritual spring. It not only contains ancient spirits, but also grows
Two tree kings, and now there is a dragon..."
Thinking back to the shells shed by ancient evil things under Well No. 3, this Cuihai Valley seems to hide a big secret.
Duke didn't tell Murali about the situation in Cuihai Valley, fearing that she would worry.
Go straight to Penrose Mage Tower, continue to study the slide cards, and wait patiently for the latest news from Cuihai Valley.
However, before he could study the slide card for a while, he heard a piercing alarm sound that echoed throughout the mage tower.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
"What's going on?" Duke rushed out of the office.
I happened to see Shanfeis running out of the office, with his hair in a mess and looking around inexplicably.
Stimulated by Duke's learning of card making, Shanfeis basically stayed at home these days, studying card making all day long.
"Duke, what's going on? The mage tower is on fire?"
"I don't know."
Ding dong, the spiritual staircase door in the spiritual staircase room opened, and Assistant Lidman came over with several knights: "The spiritual beasts are invading, everyone come with me downstairs to the castle, and be ready to fight against the spiritual beasts at any time!"
"Spiritual beast invasion, what?" Shanfeisi scratched the chicken coop's hair, "This is Shenjiao City, Assistant Leadman, are you kidding me?"
Lidman looked at Shanfeisi coldly: "I never joke."
Duke patted Shanfeisi on the shoulder: "It may really be an invasion of spiritual beasts. I have received news before that something happened in Cuihai Valley."
"Cuihai Valley?" Shanfeisi was stunned, "It's a forbidden area...I understand!"
The matter of the forbidden area has been sealed under a contract, and Shanfeis cannot tell it, but it is obvious that he believes that the invasion of the spiritual beasts is related to the forbidden area.
The group of people hurried downstairs, joined several other arcane mages, and climbed onto the wall of the castle.
The piercing buzzing sirens have resounded throughout Shenjiao City, and Duke and others also saw the forest to the west. It seemed that an army was passing by, and the whole place began to tremble.
The birds were frightened and flew away, then seemed to be preyed on by something.
Duke quickly jumped up to a sentry tower on the outer wall of the castle. With a slight movement of his right hand, the Sand Eagle pistol and toilet material appeared in his hand.
He raised his pistol and looked through the sight.
From the mirror, I saw what was happening in the distance. It was countless spiritual insects hunting birds and rushing toward Shenjiao City.
"No, Ji Yulu!" Duke suddenly thought.
So he hurriedly jumped down from the sentry tower and said to Lidman and Vikas, the two guides: "I have to go to my farm!"
"Take my shuttle and go back as soon as possible!" Assistant Vikas knew about Duke's farm, "If you can't save anyone, don't die blindly!"
"I know!"
Duke didn't take anyone with him, he directly drove the shuttle guided by Vikas and rushed to the Duke-James Farm like lightning. He rushed to the greenhouse in the center of the farm before the spirit insect army arrived.
Got off the shuttle.
Then I saw James digging for Ji Yulu.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"James, there's no need to dig." Duke interrupted James, calmed down his breath, and then quickly used breathing resonance to draw Ji Yulu into the sea of qi.
"Sir, you are here!" James was overjoyed, "I heard the siren and rushed to protect Ji Yulu. This is the hope of the farm!"
"Good job." Duke was very pleased that James could protect Ji Yulu immediately, "Let's get on the shuttle, the insect tide has invaded."
Others on the farm still don’t know what’s going on, and some people are still packing up their things.
While driving the shuttle, Duke shouted loudly: "Everyone hide, the insect tide is invading!"
"Where to hide, ah, where to hide..." An aunt was carrying a bucket and was at a loss. The farm was in the suburbs, and except for a few rows of staff dormitories, there was no place to hide.
Shenjiao City has been built for hundreds of years and has never experienced an insect invasion.
"Sir, leave them alone and leave quickly." James urged from the side. He didn't care at all about the life and death of ordinary people.
Duke frowned.
Looking to the west, the flying spirit insects are about to arrive at the farm. Looking in other directions, an airship has already taken off.
Especially at Penrose Wizard Tower, the knight escorts have rushed out of the castle and started to rescue ordinary people.
"Flee toward Wizard Penrose Tower, quickly!" Duke shouted loudly.
Then he said to James: "It's you who will drive the shuttle. I'll let you drive it and then you can drive it. Now wait here."
"Sir, we have to escape..."
"Shut up."
Duke held the sand eagle in his hand, looked at the western sky, raised his hand and fired.
In the distant sky, a fast-flying spirit insect was shot in the head and fell downwards in a parabola.
As he kept firing, the spirit insects that rushed to the farm were being killed one after another like rain.
James next to him was dumbfounded. He only saw Duke holding a small silver-black thing, his fingers moving constantly, and there was no other movement at all. There was no arcane mage bombarding him with arcane spells.
Fried style.
But he could see the spiritual insects in the sky ahead falling one after another.
His eyesight was good and he could see very clearly. Several spiritual insects that flew very fast and flew very close directly exploded into a ball of blood.
"Arcana, this is an arcane!" James shouted in his heart.
Then he shouted loudly: "Sir, the farm workers have already ran out, let's retreat too, there are too many bugs!"
"Slow down, protect the workers and join the knight escort." Duke has calmed down. They are all low-level spiritual insects now, and none of them can survive a round of Sand Eagle bullets.
Shooting is just like a lawn mowing game.
The shuttle started slowly and silently followed the fleeing workers. Duke sat in the passenger seat, stretched out the window with one hand and fired continuously into the sky.
The subtle pop-pop-pop sound of gunfire was even lighter than the sound of the wind.
With Duke's protection, not a single spiritual insect on the farm could attack the fleeing workers, and within a short time, they were able to survive the arrival of the Knight Guard.
Seeing that the workers were protected, Duke still kept shooting, but just told James: "Go to the castle."
"Yes, sir!"
The shuttle was extremely fast and entered the castle in a blink of an eye.
Duke put away his Sandhawk pistol, stepped onto the city wall, and joined the arcane mages. At this time, many arcane spells were released on the city wall, bombarding the insect swarm in front of them.
"You go and guard the middle section of the city wall." Assistant Lidman ordered.
Duke nodded and headed to the middle part of the city wall. Instead of shooting with the Sand Eagle pistol, he began to release the arcane spell of the Mage's Hand.
Boom!
The huge shining hands gathered together and grabbed a few spiritual insects in front. With a gentle grip, the spiritual insects were crushed into rotten flesh.
The castle of Penrose Mage Tower, supported by several arcane mages, is like a copper wall and an iron wall, blocking the invading insect tide from the outside.
While Duke was skillfully casting spells, the mage's hands struck up and down, left and right.
While looking around.
Many airships appeared in the sky, all coming from other directions in Shenjiao City. A large number of arcane spells poured out from the airships, bombing the ground, and combined with the mage tower castle to form a combined air and ground arcane fort.
There are also groups of knight escorts interspersed in the suburban lanes, forming a mobile defense line.
The mercenary group also joined in, following behind the knight escort, excitedly hunting every spiritual insect that slipped through the net.
