The reputation of Bernoulli's Master Tower in Shenjiao City has quickly fallen to the bottom as the insect invasion incident continues to ferment.
All newspapers are exaggerating this matter.
The reason for the invasion of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon is attributed to the fact that the arcane mages of Bernoulli Land were unwilling to fight head-on, and wanted to drive the local arcane mages, knights, and mercenaries to work hard and die for him.
Obviously, behind these newspapers, there are the handwritings of Christiansen Furious and others.
However, Bernoulli was criticized for being unwilling to come personally to open up the frontier of the war. You must know that he is the protagonist of the war.
The Cuihai Valley pioneering war was an application submitted by Bernoulli personally to Offata.
"The local arcane mages in Shenjiao City are disgusted with the arcane mages from outside. They came to the local area to launch a pioneering war, which also caused a lot of complaints against the Black Snake family." Duke thought in his mind, "If Bernoulli doesn't change his reputation, Cuihai Town will
After it’s established, I’m afraid not many people will be willing to go.”
The blame in the newspapers now is more of a warning to Bernoulli from Christiansen and others.
If Bernoulli continues to cheat, Shenjiao City will never cooperate with him, support him, and continue to wage war against Cuihai Valley.
Duke finished reading one page of "Daily Shenjiao City".
The office door finally opened, and the arcane mage Erwin, who had met once before, personally escorted another middle-aged arcanist out.
When the middle-aged Arcane Master passed by, he smiled gently at Duke and then entered the spiritual ladder.
"Duke, come in and talk." Archmage Erwin looked at Duke with a kind smile, then turned and entered the office.
Duke followed in.
"Sir, what do you want from me?" Duke asked.
"I told you before that you have the talent of a scholar, right? I remember that you had an epiphany under the No. 3 mine in Cuihai Valley?" Erwin asked. He still remembered meeting Duke.
Scenario, "How many visions do you have now?"
"I'm very ashamed. Since that epiphany, I haven't had another opportunity, so there are still nine visions."
The vision of the exclusive meditation method. If you want to have an epiphany, the opportunity is very important. Even a genius with an understanding like Duke will find it difficult to achieve epiphany frequently.
"Nine types are already very good. Among level 1 arcane mages, they should be at the forefront." Erwin said with a smile.
His assistant brings Duke coffee.
Duke politely thanked him and responded: "Thanks to the accumulation of spiritual apprenticeship, otherwise I would not have been able to achieve so many visions."
"Keep up the good work. You have just been promoted. Spirituality has favored you. You have enough time to encounter opportunities." Erwin said perfunctorily, maybe he didn't feel that the nine visions were anything in his heart. "I heard from the people below that you have been recently.
Apply for a lot of patents?"
"Yes." Duke replied calmly.
While reading the newspaper outside, he thought why Erwin was looking for him. It could only be that the recently registered patent was too high-profile.
"So, did you come up with all these patents yourself?" Erwin looked through the information in his hand, "Pocket lamp, miner's lamp, table lamp, searchlight... you improved the Lingfeng lamp, which is indeed a good improvement direction.
Opened a new company?"
"Uh, yes."
"You're developing very well. There are few new Arcane mages who can do things like you, and you're still so young, one year younger than that girl Kylia, right... Have you ever considered starting from Mage Penrose?
After you graduate, will you come to work with me?"
Duke was a little embarrassed by such a naive recruitment: "I haven't thought about it so much for the time being. I just want to learn the card-making technology well."
"You are right to think so, but you have a talent in natural history. Don't let this talent go. You can think more about it."
Erwin then chatted with Duke for a while, and then said: "Okay, that's all for today. I have to go to the Union Tower for a meeting later."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Come here dizzy, leave hazy.
Duke had no trace of what he was thinking about Erwin, the Arcane Mage of Earth. It always felt like he was recruiting, but it didn't quite fit the opponent's identity as a fourth-level Arcane Mage.
When I couldn't think clearly, I stopped thinking: "Whatever, I'll do mine."
After Duke left, Erwin's secretary walked into the office and while refilling Erwin's glass, he advised: "Grandpa, you are doing this too abruptly. Mr. Penrose is also a member of the Five Towers Council.
You have to respect it."
"What's the point of respect? I didn't compete with him for students." Erwin snorted.
"But if you say so bluntly that you want Duke to come and work for you, what's the difference between you and robbing Mr. Penrose's students? Many arcane mages outside have expressed dissatisfaction with your move."
"Let them be dissatisfied. Natural history is the foundation for the long-term development of the Seven Towers Federation. How can vulgar people understand what I am doing."
"You can definitely recruit a few more students."
"What do you know?" Erwin glanced at his great-grandson, "If the family thinks like you, I think it's better not to launch a pioneering war in the future. Sooner or later, it will decline... I really want to use the Mage Tower to rob the family.
Students are the only ones who are disliked, you know?"
The secretary didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly sighed and said: "Actually, when the Black Snake family sent someone to contact you, you could have taken over, Grandpa, and the Cuihai Valley development war will belong to our family."
"Haha, what next, are you going to hunt the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon?"
"How can I? Grandpa, you know a lot of people."
"It doesn't matter if you know a lot of people. Look, Bernoulli can't sit still anymore. He's sending students to me for help, and asking for help from Runwu City. Even if he really completes the hunt for the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon
, Cuihai Valley also needs to allocate half of its resources!"
"Then I can still keep half..."
"Go, go, you short-sighted boy, why did I give birth to you bastards? No one can inherit my will!" Erwin slammed the table angrily, "Next time you talk nonsense to me, go back to your hometown and don't follow me.
Me!"
……
"Sir, when will Ms. Kiliya come? I really want to see this beautiful lady of heaven as soon as possible."
The assistant was sitting on the bench, talking boredly.
While reading, Duke responded casually: "It will come when it comes."
But I felt a little sour in my heart, feeling that the arcane mages in Shenjiao City were not as noble as I imagined, they were just a bunch of bastards.
When he was promoted to arcane mage at the age of sixteen, he could at most be called a genius arcanist mage.
No one has ever called him the proud man of heaven.
Now Kilia Furtao was promoted to arcane mage at the age of eighteen, but before she even showed up, a group of people outside were touting her as the sweet girl of heaven.
Put down the book.
Duke finished the coffee on the table and handed it to Mulali: "Go and make another cup. I'm going to start working."
His office occupies half a floor and has a private laboratory where various experiments can be conducted directly in the office.
The spiritual magnetic wave capture experiment and the slide card superposition experiment are all conducted here.
However, there is no progress for the time being, and Duke has given up on the illusion of immediate results and is preparing to fight for a long time. Anyway, all the consumables can be transferred to his research group in the tower, and Penrose Mage Tower will pay for his own experiments.<
/p>
"Sir, your coffee is here." Mulali happily delivered the coffee.
"Very happy?" Duke asked.
"Can you guess why I'm happy?" Mu Lali pretended, looking at Duke with an expectant expression on her pretty face.
He raised his eyebrows.
Duke held his head high, narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "Is it Kyria Furious Wave who came to the Mage Tower to report?"
"Sir, you are always so wise!" Mulali marveled, "How did you guess it? I didn't reveal anything about it?"
"You have been looking forward to Kylia, and now you look so happy, I don't need to guess."
"Vikas's assistant came to inform that we would have dinner at the castle tavern in the evening and welcome Ms. Kiliya to the big family."
"I know."
"There is one more thing, sir, you must not have guessed." Mulali secretly smiled.
"What's going on?" Duke saw Mulali's cute look and couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek.
Not only did Murali not hide away, but she looked at Duke with charming eyes and said in a greasy voice: "Ms. Kiliya's office is arranged next to ours. The one originally occupied by Sir Shanfeis. She works with us.
Where are the neighbors?"
"Speak nicely!" Duke patted Mulali on the head, "Don't act like an adult."
"I have grown up, sir!"
"Haha."
"It's true. I'm sixteen years old. When I was in my hometown, many people got married at the age of sixteen. Sir, please don't treat me like a child."
Duke knocked on Mulali's forehead: "Practice hard and don't think too much."
After sending away the assistant, he calmed down and continued his experiments. He was busy until get off work in the evening and then walked out.
After arriving at the tavern, I found that I was the last one to arrive.
"I'm just waiting for you, Duke, come here, let me introduce you." Assistant Vikas was the most enthusiastic in communication. He turned to the wavy blonde girl who stood up from the sofa chair and said, "This is
Genius arcanist, genius card maker, Duke!"
Duke smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello."
When Kilia Furious Wave turned around, the first impression she gave Duke was that she had an elegant temperament and an innate aristocratic demeanor.
The facial features are beautiful and delicate, and besides the beautiful face, there is also a trace of baby fat.
The large arcanist robes concealed her figure, but through the ups and downs of the outline, one can still imagine that she is tall and plump.
She was promoted to an arcane mage at the age of eighteen. Her talent may not be enough to be called the sweet daughter of heaven, but with her temperament and famous family background, it would not be offensive at all to describe her as the sweet daughter of heaven.
"Hello, Duke, I've heard of you. We are the youngest arcane mage in Shenjiao City. It's an honor to work with you." Kiriya's voice was very pleasant, with a hint of firmness in her softness.
, people will feel good about it as soon as they hear it.
She is at least 1.7 meters tall and wearing a pair of high heels, she looks taller than Duke.
Duke is currently 1.8 meters tall, and I don’t know if he still has room to grow taller.
When shaking hands, Duke felt that the other party's hand was soft, but he could tell that the other party's handshake was strong.
"I am also honored to work with Ms. Kiria."
The two smiled politely at each other.
"Come on, everyone, sit down, let's eat and drink and chat." Assistant Vikas continued to liven up the atmosphere, "Kilia can come to our Penrose Mage Tower. This is our fate. As a pioneer in the field of spiritual arcana,
We who are taking a few steps must help her more."
Drink and chat, the atmosphere becomes lively.
Duke was not very enthusiastic at the wine table. He had the mentality of a bystander who was aloof from the incident. He looked at his colleagues who were aloof in the past and greeted Kiriya.
Until the dinner is over, everyone separates.
"Sir, Ms. Kilia is so beautiful. She is the most beautiful and elegant among all the ladies I have ever seen."
The little assistant has been enchanted by Kiriya's charm, as if she has found the idol of her life.
Being beautiful, having a good family background, being talented, and having a lovable personality may be what every woman imagines herself to be.
"And she is so approachable and doesn't have any airs when talking to us."
"Really?" Duke looked out the window, noncommittal.
He is not a fool. His experiences before and after time travel have made him see clearly that such a beautiful girl from a wealthy family may be approachable on the surface, but the arrogance in her heart will definitely repel people thousands of miles away. Being friendly is only for them.
External posture.
He thought back to the small conversation he had with Kilia in the tavern.
Of course, beautiful means beautiful. She is probably the most beautiful woman he has met since time travel. She has wavy blond hair, beautiful facial features, and is tall and has a vaguely plump figure.
He speaks softly without any artificiality.
Aesthetically speaking, everything is his point.
But Duke clearly felt that the other party was not that silly and sweet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Although the depth of the other party's thoughts cannot be seen from the brief exchange, it can be seen from the fact that she can make everyone feel like a spring breeze and that she is someone they can get close to. It can be seen that Kiriya definitely has a good personality.
Communicative skills.
"This is in line with the image of elites cultivated by established aristocrats."
Of course, there is no need to tell others this, just stay sober and rational, don’t be fooled by beauty, just be impulsive.
Suddenly he thought of the two great knights guarding Kiriya.
"I always feel that they have a familiar aura on them, like...like the aura of a fantasy beast!" Duke was suddenly shocked. He had felt this aura from Muhans Black Snake, "In other words, Kiri
Ya’s bodyguard is the Phantom Beast Knight!”
Two rare fantasy beast knights serve as bodyguards.
This made him secretly exclaim: "This is really a card that only veteran nobles can use. Gee, some people were born in Rome."
At this time, Kylia, who was born in Rome, also took the shuttle and returned to the Keyston Wizard Tower.
Master Keystone Tower is the tallest building in the entire Shenjiao City. It is built on a hilltop on the northern outskirts of the city. It towers into the clouds and can reach up to three to four hundred meters.
The frame made entirely of spiritual gold will not fall down even if it encounters a magnitude 10 earthquake.
The area where the mage tower is located also has a magnificent castle, which covers the entire low mountain, as if it is a country of its own.
The Nutao family, the largest noble family in the Heijiao River, lives here, and has accompanied the development of Shenjiao City from the beginning to its current situation.
"Miss Kilia, you're back. I've asked you to come over when you come back." The deputy housekeeper in a tuxedo was waiting aside.
Kiliya smiled and nodded: "Okay, Butler Ji'an, I'll change my clothes and go find Grandpa Zu."
After changing out of the arcane mage's robe and putting on a floral skirt, Kylia followed Ji'an's housekeeper and took the exclusive spiritual ladder straight to the top of the tower above the sky.
Clouds wrapped around the waist of the Keystone Wizard Tower, hiding the upper part.
Through the clouds, you can look at the top of the tower. The top of the tower is not pointed, but built into a spacious garden.
There is a two-story villa in the garden.
Ding dong.
The end of the spiritual ladder is located in a hut in front of the villa. Kiliya followed Butler Ji'an out of the hut.
In the flower bed at the entrance of the villa, the old gardener, who was trembling even as he walked, took off his hat to Kiriya and saluted: "Miss Kiriya, I say hello to you."
"Hello, Grandpa Jiping."
After entering the villa, an aunt who was mopping the floor at the door immediately smiled and saluted: "Miss Kiliya, the master is waiting for you."
"Thank you for reminding me, Butler Gina, I'll be there right away." Kiriya responded gently.
All the housekeepers and servants in the top garden are very old. They have been accompanying the owner of the villa since they were young. When they can no longer work, their descendants will replace them and continue to serve the owner of the villa. Generation after generation, experiencing many births, old age, illness and death.
Only the owner of this villa, Christian Fury, has remained unchanged. His golden, lion-like curly hair is the eternal brightness of the villa.
"Grandpa, Kiriya is here to see you." The eighteen-year-old Tianzhi girl, with a charming smile on her face, walked gently into the house.
The old man with golden curly hair in the study put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and showed a kind smile: "My little dragon is back."
"Grandpa, you made fun of me again."
"This is not a joke. The eighteen-year-old arcane mage was promoted to arcane mage three years earlier than my grandfather."
"But grandpa, you have become a fifth-level arcane mage. Among those arcane mages who were promoted earlier than you, none of them can reach your achievements." Kiriya walked behind Christian and skillfully gave him a
I slapped my shoulders.
Christian laughed like an ordinary old man: "Of course, grandpa is the best at accumulating things."
Then Christian asked: "Little Kylia, on the first day of your training at Master Penrose Tower, did you get to know all the classmates?"
"Yes, we know each other."
"Did anyone bully you?"
"How could it be? Everyone is very friendly. We had a drink together in the tavern and chatted about some words to enhance our relationship."
"As long as no one bullies you, grandpa will spank Penrose if anyone dares to bully you."
Kiriya chuckled.
Penrose is already an old man like a grandfather, but he still needs to be spanked. But if you think about it carefully, Penrose is indeed a young man at eighty or ninety years old compared to Keystone's one hundred, eighty or ninety years old.
Children.
"By the way, are there any of these classmates who made a deep first impression on you?" Christian asked casually.
Kiriya thought for a while: "It seems not."
"Didn't I remember that there was an arcane mage who was younger than you?"
"Well, yes, his name is Duke."
"The arcane mage is younger than you, this Duke, didn't he leave a deep impression on you?"
"Before I met, I had some expectations. I wanted to meet Duke, who was promoted to an arcane mage at the age of sixteen, but after we met, I found that it was not very special." Kiriya thought about the dinner party in the tavern.
Picture, "My personality is a little taciturn, maybe it has something to do with my experience, but I'm pretty mature and steady anyway."
"Aren't you showing off your spirit?"
"No."
"Oh, it's boring." Christian shook his head and sighed, "It seems that he is also a mediocre arcane mage. It's really worrying. The younger generation of arcane mages are already dying. You should have some spirituality in the Black Flood River.
It works!"
"Grandpa Youzu, you are in control of the overall situation." Kilia comforted.
"Grandpa doesn't want to work until he dies of old age. He is one hundred and ninety years old and still has no peace of mind..." Christian shook his head repeatedly.
Then he commented on his colleagues: "Williams's way of doing things is more healthy than your grandfather and me; Erwin is keen on doing things, but the structure is too small, and he wants to pull everything into his tower; as for Stephen Yihu,
The brain is full of muscles...it’s so useless!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Kilia just giggled.
These are all fourth-level arcane mages, and they are not something she, a junior, can comment on casually.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to have an old man nagging me with you, and I'm sure it will annoy you too."
"How could it be? It would be interesting to chat with Grandpa."
"Haha, grandpa was indeed famous in Shenjiao City for his humor when he was young..." Reminiscing about those years, Keystone waved his hand, "Grandpa is tired, you should go back and rest early. Since you choose to study.
If you are stuck, you have to work hard for it."
"Kilia understands."
……
Duke didn't know that he had received the evaluation of a "mediocre arcane mage" from Christian Raging Waves.
He was sitting cross-legged on the big bed in his villa. His whole image had been completely transformed, with pointed ears, green eyes, flowing blond hair, a tall figure and pale skin.
It is the elf form after merging with the chicken.
With the blessing of the elf form, all aspects of physical fitness have been greatly improved, including the efficiency of cultivation.
So he now merges with the chicken every night at night, and then practices breathing methods, blood refining methods, and meditation methods.
Looking inside the spiritual sea.
The ring formed by the spiritual core already has multiple protrusions, vaguely trying to pull the absolutely circular ring into a complex energy line circuit.
This is the practice of an arcane mage. With the in-depth study and understanding of spiritual arcana, the spiritual core that represents the logic of the arcane operation of one's own arcana gradually evolves into a complete spell model. When the logical limit is reached, it can then move to the second level.
Ring transition.
At that time, he will be promoted to the 2nd level arcane mage.
The research on spiritual arcane methods cannot stop, nor can the exclusive meditation method - cognition is the means of casting spiritual cores, and the raw materials required for casting are the free spiritual particles from the outside world that the meditation method continuously absorbs.
"Ah...chichi." Xiao Dou woke up from his drowsiness. It was a habit developed in his childhood that he would doze off when he was practicing the blood refining method.
"Go play." Duke waved.
Little Dou jumped out of the window and went to find the friends he had made in Beverly Manor. There are many knights in this community, so there are also many contracted spirit beasts, many of which are free-range in the community.
Move freely.
"Jiji!"
"Meow."
Kabuto's cry came from the yard, and the black-spotted serval cat Mimi gave a perfunctory response. It was obvious that Kabuto wanted to take Mimi out to play.
Mimi is a lady with the same upright temperament as Vivian and has little interest in going out to play.
At this time.
Duke suddenly frowned, and then a feeling of being torn came over him. He had already exited the elf state.
Along with him, there was a somewhat languid little chicken: "I'm so tired, hurry up and replenish my spiritual crystal."
Click, click.
A spiritual crystal was chewed up and swallowed by the chicken.
Then he glanced sideways at Duke: "I'm really a hard-working working chicken. I have to be dragged in by the hateful Duke to work together every day."
Duke smiled slightly and said: "If you don't want to eat the spiritual crystal, you can choose to refuse."
"This is the tragic fate of a working chicken. For a mere piece of rubble, he becomes a slave to the evil capitalist Duke!"
"This piece of rotten stone is not cheap. A standard stone costs 25 gold dragons. An ordinary family of three cannot eat 25 gold dragons worth of food in ten years."
"Humph, are we an ordinary family?"
"So you're just complaining, go to Qihai and sleep." Duke gave the chicken a chestnut. This foul-mouthed elf would not be comfortable without a spanking.
"Wait for me!" the chicken said harshly, bumped into Duke's stomach, and disappeared.
Duke got up and got out of bed and walked to the corner of the room. There was a cardboard box in the corner. Inside, the fat maggot Xiaohong, who should have been eating endlessly, had pupated.
It stops and secretes special mucus from its body, wrapping itself into a cocoon.
At this time, the cocoon in the cardboard box is as big as an ostrich egg.
"After it pupates, it emerges from the cocoon and becomes an adult... I have to build a nest for Xiaohong, and I can no longer keep it at home."
