The arcane magic of illusion is truly wonderful.
Duke is wandering around in the Penrose Mage Tower. Except for the Arcane Mage, he is almost undetectable by others.
Even a first-level knight needs to be attentive in order to detect the traces of Duke's passing through subtle spiritual fluctuations.
And facing the level 1 Arcane Mage, as long as Duke remains still, Balza, Blanc, Oriana and others cannot detect it. But as long as Duke moves, they can immediately sense the abnormal fluctuations of spirituality, and accurately
Locate Duke.
As for facing the second-level arcane mage, Duke could not hide from their perception even if he stood still.
"It is the breath of arcane magic. The 2nd level arcane mage interacts with the spirituality of the outside world all the time and detects all the information carried by the surrounding spirituality. Therefore, as long as your illusion arcana cannot deceive the ubiquitous spirituality, it cannot be concealed.
Beyond my perception.” Tutor Vikas explained the reason.
"What about the spiritual beasts?"
"Spiritual beasts of level 4 and above can also interact with the surrounding spiritual beings, but the interaction is not strong. Therefore, if the spirit beast is not very alert, it can be deceived by the illusion. But if the spirit beast is highly alert or conscious,
The search is difficult to achieve in illusion."
"I understand." Duke nodded to express his understanding.
Illusion arcana is a good disguise, but you must not rely on this disguise to think that you can sneak under the nose of a spiritual beast.
However, in critical situations, it is not difficult to throw away the pursuit of spirit beasts by using illusion arcana and other disguises. After all, not all spirit beasts can maintain a high degree of vigilance in combat and accurately track every particle around them.
Spiritual particles.
As an auxiliary type of arcana, Illusion is already good enough.
And as Duke develops the arcana of illusion, its value will further increase.
This whole day, he didn't study or experiment seriously. He was basically exploring the application of illusion. It was basically certain that the functions of illusion arcana were divided into "smear" and "copy".
By changing the surrounding light, shadow, and spirituality, objects can be hidden, as if they were erased from the real world.
At the same time, all light and shadow effects can be copied within the range of the illusion arcana. For example, if there is an original cup, two identical cups can be copied in the illusion, or even three, five or even a hundred, but a toothbrush that does not exist in the original cannot be created.
.
Duke did an experiment. After he cast the illusion, he "smeared" himself away, and then "copied" another self, letting the other self pretend to walk, and then he stood in place.
Successfully deceived everyone.
Including several level 1 arcane mages.
Even during an experiment, even Assistant Vikas was accidentally tricked.
"Although I can interact with the outside world all the time, who has so much energy to analyze what the surrounding environment is like... You kid, please stop using me as a test subject. I am already very old and my five senses are no longer sharp. You might as well
Go find Lidman for experiments."
Vikas made an excuse for himself, and then encouraged Duke to experiment on Lidman.
Duke really went.
Standing at the entrance of the laboratory, he cast an illusion, "copied" himself, walked over and smiled at Lidman.
Leadman, who was doing the experiment, looked up at the cloned Duke, frowned and asked, "What's the matter? I'm busy."
"Instructor Lidman, let me ask you a question." The copied Duke made a voice.
The illusion can even distort light and shadow, not to mention the sound vibration. In the illusion casting area, Duke can distort his voice to any position.
"Tell me." Lidman replied reluctantly.
Then he seemed to have discovered something. He frowned and glanced at the cloned Duke, then suddenly turned his head to look at the door of the laboratory.
His face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "Duke, are you here to tease me?"
"Sorry, Tutor, I just built the illusion arcane wonder, and I'm still figuring out how to use it. I just have a question to ask you."
"This isn't fun, and I'm not interested in accompanying you. Find someone else." Lidman suppressed his anger and waved his hand to drive Duke away.
"Okay." It would be best for Duke to leave first before Lidman gets angry.
But I am very proud in my heart. If the illusion is used properly, it can indeed deceive the 2nd level arcane mage, so it is very possible to deceive the 4th level and above phantom beasts.
After all, how can the perception ability of a spiritual beast compare to that of a high-level arcane mage?
"When Master Penrose comes back, I will try it out in front of him." Duke left gracefully.
Leadman in the laboratory quickly put away his gloomy expression. In fact, he was not angry, nor would he be angry over such a trivial matter.
He just doesn't like to socialize with others.
"Duke..." Lidman pondered for a moment, "It took him more than two hundred days to build the wonder of the arcane shield, and then he built the wonder of the fantasy world. This speed... is it really something that only a genius arcane mage can possess? Is it true?
Frustrating!"
He is already considered an outstanding talent among arcane mages.
But when I compare it with Duke, I instantly feel that the world is full of malice, and no matter how much sweat I put in, it can't compare to my talent.
"Huh."
Lidman exhaled a breath, and his eyes became firm again: "It doesn't matter that he is a genius arcane mage, I only need to pursue my spiritual arcana!"
"Keep researching!"
No longer thinking about one thing or another, Lidman concentrated on his experimental subject.
……
"Arcane shield, illusion, and two instant arcane spells. The mage's hands are also practiced to perfection. With these three arcane spells at your side, one environment realm is enough."
Duke feels that he should be invincible among level 1 arcane mages.
The main reason is that he has the Sand Eagle, a powerful arcane weapon in his hand, which can kill even 4th-level spiritual beasts and kill a 1st-level arcane mage with ease.
As for killing the 2nd level arcane mage, it depends on what instant arcane spell the 2nd level arcane mage has.
If there is a defensive type of instant arcane spell, it is not necessarily possible to rely on bullets to penetrate the defense. Once it is defended by a 2nd level arcane mage, the counterattack method is enough for Duke to drink.

"Secretary Levski, is the mentor still in the office?" Duke walked around the mage tower and headed to the top floor.
Levski was reading a newspaper on the sofa outside. Hearing this, he immediately responded: "Your Excellency, the Union Tower is on rotation today and is correcting documents in the office."
"Oh, I'll ask the tutor a question."
"I will pass it on to you."
Levsky knocked on the office door and quickly got Penrose's promise.
So Duke entered the office and immediately cast the Arcana of Illusion, making a copy of himself and walking towards the desk, while he stood at the door and did not move.
But the next moment.
Instructor Penrose squinted and looked at the door: "You have the nerve to use this little trick in front of me, so put it away quickly."
"Haha." Duke didn't feel embarrassed and dispersed the arcane magic of the illusion.
After asking a small question about card making, I said goodbye and left.
He has already tested the results. In front of a level 3 arcane mage, level 1 illusion arcana has no chance of success at all.
A level 3 arcane mage can already see through the reality of spirituality.
After leaving Wizard Penrose Tower, Duke went straight to the Duke James Farm not far away. He would take time to visit every few days.
The first is to use the breathing method as a second-level elf envoy to provide breathing resonance with the second-level elf spiritual plant-Ji Yulu and many jade dews to help these spiritual plants evolve.
The second is to cast spells on Chuixuezhu seedlings to help them grow better.
The farm has a special area for planting snow-blowing pillars, which covers more than 500 acres of land. Unfortunately, the actual surviving snow-blowing pillars do not even have an area of ten acres.
This is also thanks to the snow-blowing tree with seeds sent by Director Lidman.
Fuxuezhu grown by cuttings, divisions, etc. are basically dead. Fuxuezhu with only germinated seeds can continue to grow.
"Sir, the growth of the snow-blowing pillars looks good, but compared with the snow-blowing pillar samples sent by Broken Sword, it is found that they have deteriorated seriously. Even if they grow, they may not achieve the effect you imagined, sir." James regretted.
said.
The Broken Sword Mercenary Group has been near Well No. 3, searching for more Fubuki Pillars to send over.
Duke has already started to think about this: "Continue to plant. After Chuixuezhu loses his resistance to evil spirits, the quality decline is a predictable result. But we don't care whether it falls or not, we will continue to plant. There will always be what I need."
The one that retains Lingchi's genes!"
The red worm tentacles of Blowing Snow Pillar contain a large amount of mixed spirituality and are excellent raw materials for spiritual materials.
Duke named the mixed spiritual genes that can be stored in the red worm's tentacles Lingchi, which means a pool that stores spirituality.
The purpose of planting Chuixuezhu is to obtain the Lingchi gene.
"Yes, sir, I will keep your instructions in mind and cultivate Chuixuezhu seriously, and strive to cultivate the Lingchi gene as soon as possible."
"If you cultivate it, you and I will get rich. The value of the Lingchi Blowing Snow Pillar will not be much worse than that of Jade Dew."
"I know it very well." James nodded. As a level 1 Great Spirit Planter, he can naturally clearly understand the value of Chuixuezhu.
After the spell was cast, Duke didn't stay long and left directly.
The whole day was spent busy like this.
After returning to Suktara Master Tower, when it was time to change clothes, the dining table was already filled with dishes that Aunt Virginie had prepared according to his taste.
Assistant Murali and guard knight captain Vivian accompanied him to enjoy the delicious food.
Butler Morris stood aside and took advantage of the meal time to communicate with Duke for a while: "Sir, the Mage Tower has been a bit turbulent these past two days. Many management positions have been changed, especially the Su family's managers. Most of them have been replaced.
After coming down, some of the Su family members were even dismissed from the Mage Tower."
"Huh?" Duke asked while eating, "Have you found out why these people have to be replaced?"
"I have made some insinuations about Butler Suli and others. It seems that it was an order from Lord Suktara that the Su family will no longer raise idle people."
"This is strange. These Su clan members are all relatives of the teacher. There is no reason to drive them out?" Duke didn't quite understand.
The mage tower and the castle are integrated, and are equivalent to the arcane mage's home.
Of course the family must live at home.
There is no reason to kick the family out and hand over the wizard's tower and castle to professionals.
It makes some sense to say that the Mage Tower should be managed by professionals. After all, the Mage Tower is a special existence that integrates industry, academia and research. However, the basic function of the castle is to serve arcane mages and their families. Most arcane mages who own a mage tower,
The tribesmen all live in the castle.
"Sir, we don't know." Butler Morris shook his head.
Vivian had no interest in these trivial matters and focused on eating the food on her plate.
Mulali said with great interest: "Sir, is it possible that the Su clan members have made Lord Suktara angry? These Su clan members are Lord Suktara, adopted brothers and descendants, and their kinship relationship can be separated.
It’s only one level away.”
Duke thinks it makes sense.
However, he scolded me: "Do your job well as your assistant, and focus on your cultivation. These things are not your thing to worry about."
"Oh, I know." Mulali drawled.
Duke then said to Morris: "Restrict everyone, try to stay in Tower 2, so as not to go out and cause unnecessary trouble during this period."
Although Suktra treated him well, after all, he was relying on someone else, and Duke didn't want people to misunderstand him.
Morris responded: "Don't worry, sir, I will restrain the servants."
Vivian suddenly raised her head and asked: "Do we need to change the place for the training of the knight guard? Su's knight guard has not been very friendly in the past two days and has had several frictions with us."
Since Duke moved here, there was a large enough playground in the castle, so he asked Vivian to change the training to the castle playground.
"What kind of friction?"
"Some verbal greetings, and then a few charges, with some losses and some losses. It can be seen that some of the other knights are a little angry."
"Really." Duke narrowed his eyes, "Let's go to the farm instead. I'll find a chance to talk to the teacher before I change back."
"Okay." After Vivian finished speaking, she concentrated on the food again.
After dinner, Duke went to Tower 1 as usual and learned alchemy knowledge from Teacher Suktala. The teaching atmosphere was as harmonious as ever.
During the break, Duke said with a smile: "Teacher, the atmosphere in the Mage Tower has been a bit serious these past two days."
"Did you feel something?" Suktara had a kind smile on her face.
"A little bit, Maurice told me, there have been a lot of changes in the castle."
"Yes, a lot of people have changed." Suktala seemed to be talking about a topic that was not related to her, and her tone was very indifferent, "The tower was in a mess. I didn't have the energy to rectify it before, but now I have some energy, so I
Let people clean it."
"That's it." Duke stopped and said nothing more.
After you have rested, continue to take classes with Suktara, like a dry sponge, desperately absorbing every drop of knowledge.
Teaching until eleven o'clock in the evening.
Butler Suli knocked on the door and interrupted the teaching of an old man and a young man: "Old madam, it's late at night."
"Why does the night get so late and so early?" Suktara muttered with unfinished content, and then smiled at Duke, "Go and have a rest, kid. We will continue tomorrow night."
"Okay teacher, you should go to bed early." Duke said goodbye and left.
Suktara's gentle expression gradually turned serious, and she looked at Butler Suli: "During the rectification, some people made a fuss?"
"What do you mean?" Sully asked carefully.
"Duke, is someone targeting Duke, or Duke's servants?" Suktara sneered, "If you don't dare to lose your temper with an old woman like me, you dare to vent your anger on someone they think is an outsider.
Yes, right?"
Su Li pondered for a moment and said, "I will restrain them."
"Sully, please listen to me too."
"Old madam, you can give whatever orders you give me. In Suli's heart, you are the only master. Suli will implement any of your orders 100%."
"I understand your loyalty." Suktara nodded slightly, "These people of mine, let alone my immediate relatives, even if they are my immediate relatives, they cannot inherit my research in spiritual arcana...
But Duke is different, he is my hope."
Give Sully time to digest.
Then Suktara said gently: "The most important thing in my life is my research. Whoever can inherit it is my relative. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Su Li already understands." Butler Su Li nodded solemnly.
"Go ahead and do something. I don't want such a sensible child to be disturbed in any way while passing on my knowledge."
"As you wish." Suli bowed and exited the room.
……
"Your Excellency Sorel, my grandma is simply an old fool." Su Laier was bitter when facing the second-level arcane mage Sorel.
Sorel is Suktala's student and the only guide of the Mage Tower.
However, his research direction is the life box, which is considered the field of life, not the field of alchemy, so he cannot take up Suktara's class.
Sorel lectured him calmly: "How can you say that the teacher is old and confused? He is too ignorant."
"Aren't I anxious to get angry? You have also seen that Grandma was so heartless that she drove the Su clan members away. This was obviously to make room for Duke, so that the mage tower and the castle could be replaced.
Master!"
"The teacher naturally has her reasons for making such a decision."
"Don't say that." Su Laier glanced at Sorel and said bluntly, "You are also my grandma's student, and you are still a second-level arcane mage. Are you willing to see my grandma, who is old and foolish, turning the mage into a master?"
Leave everything in the tower to an outsider?"
Sorel pondered and said: "If the teacher really decides this, as a student, I can only respect her decision."
"Stop it, stop it!" Surair looked at Sorel who was acting coyly, and went straight to the point, "Just tell me clearly what you need to do to help us Su clan people...Stop perfunctory with me, we are being driven away.
, can you get any benefits?"
"Hiss..." Sorel still refused to speak.
"With Grandma's attitude, once Duke makes some achievements, even if there is just a little hope, Grandma will inherit all the mage tower and castle to Duke. By then, we Su clan people will certainly not be in a good position.
As my great-grandmother’s student, you have served my great-grandmother for half your life, what good can you get?”
After Su Laier's words made her mouth dry and her tongue dry, and she was upset.
Sorel, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "I want the Mage Tower!"
"Ah?" Su Laier was stunned for a moment, then got furious, "You have such a big appetite. If I give you everything, we Su clan members might as well go to Duke directly. Anyway, the result will be the same."
"Listen to me." Sorel said calmly, "I want this mage tower, and the castle will be handed over to you, the Su clan. The two parties made a contract and will never regret it as long as they live."
"No, no, I can't give you the mage tower for yourself, the castle is only worth a few dollars! We want the mage tower, and the castle will be given to you." Surair insisted on this, and he was not the only one who had the final say on the Su clan.
, the value of the castle cannot satisfy everyone’s appetite.
After all, the Su clan has always regarded themselves as the owners of this mage tower and supporting castle. It was not until Duke appeared that they felt a sense of crisis.
It’s just a sense of crisis.
This sense of crisis is not enough to make the Su clan give up their ownership of the Mage Tower.
"You have also seen that the teacher's decision is obviously to hand over everything to Duke. If I don't take action, you will get nothing." Sorel sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, "Actually, I don't care. Wait until I get my life."
With the title of scholar, I may not be able to build a mage tower. I am not in a hurry, understand?"
"You...can you watch the Suktara Master Tower be handed over to outsiders?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Sorel sneered: "The tower is not mine, why should I offend another arcane mage and fight for the interests of you Su clan?"
"This..."
Su Laier was sweating profusely. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I have to go back and discuss it with everyone."
"Go slowly without seeing me off. Come to me after you think about it."
After Sorel left, Sorel poured himself half a glass of red wine in the empty office, shaking it while squinting in thought.
He studies the field of life and has already deviated from the field of alchemy.
The reason why I still stay in Suktala Master Tower is self-evident, it is to stay here for the Master Tower itself.
"Teacher, teacher, you gave up and gave up everything to enjoy your twilight years for another twenty years. Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Sorel said to himself softly, "I have been waiting for so many years.
Just to serve you well and then take over your inheritance!"
"What is the ring to replicate the material? It is such an illusory subject, but you are still stubborn about it. The method of the great arcanist mage can be easily shaken by you, so that ordinary arcane mages can also learn the ring of projection?"
"So."
"I must expose your illusions and let you leave this world without leaving any regrets, instead of finding another little liar to defraud your old foundation." Sorel took a sip of red wine, which was bitter and astringent.
Pretty bad, but that's what he's good at.
The bitter wine entered his throat, making him feel comfortable.
He felt that his whole body was energetic: "You have never trained an arcane mage for the Su clan in your whole life. It can be seen that your teaching skills are just that. It is up to me to inherit all this. Don't worry, I, the Su clan, have many good people."
Miaozi can definitely carry forward Suktara Master Tower!"
"No."
"At that time, it should be called Sorel Mage Tower!"
Dangdang.
The assistant knocked on the door outside: "Sir, Secretary Subbotan is looking for you."
"Invite him in."
"Sir Sorel." Subbotan walked in gracefully. He was Suktala's secretary for many years. "Your Excellency, please come over."
Secretaries, assistants, and housekeepers are all service staff around Master Arcana, but their job functions are different.
Sorel nodded: "I understand, just pack up and go."
"Then I won't bother you."
After Subbotan left, Sorel looked in the mirror, rubbed his face, and then showed a smile that he thought was quite gentle and elegant.
Then he got up and left the office, and took the spiritual ladder to Suktala's office.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Sorel entered the office.
"Come and sit down." Suktara extended her hand and waited for the assistant to pour a cup of tea for Sorel before she said, "How many years have passed, little Sorel, you are about to become an old man, and
I am even older, half of my body has been buried in the ground."
"Teacher, you are still as energetic as when you were young. I believe that you will soon be able to break through the fog of spiritual arcana and be promoted to a great arcana mage."
"Haha, you will say these pleasant words to make the teacher happy." Suktara smiled and shook his head, "Teacher, you are destined to miss the fourth ring in this life, but you still have a long way to go, and you still have a chance.
Beyond the teacher."
Sorrell responded: "I will definitely live up to your high expectations, teacher."
"That's right, you should have such ambition. The road to spiritual arcana is full of thorns. How will you know if you can do it if you don't try it."
"That's what the teacher said."
"Sorel..." Suktala's tone was a little sad, as if there were some words that were difficult to say.
"Teacher, please tell me." Sorrell was a little confused.
"I'm going to let you out." As soon as Suktara spoke the words, there was no longer any hesitation. "You study the life box. This is the subject on which you will rely on in the future, and it is also the ladder for you to pursue spiritual arcana. Teacher, don't
I’m going to delay your future again and tie you up in this alchemical mage tower.”
"Ah!" Sorel felt a thunderbolt in his head at that time.
He never thought about leaving Suktara Master Tower, because subconsciously he regarded all this as his inheritance.
So Suktara asked him to leave. His face immediately changed drastically, and he suppressed the shock and anger in his heart.
His voice was trembling slightly as he said: "Teacher, you are joking. How can I rest assured that I leave you? Besides, I can still do research if I stay here and it won't delay me. Teacher, you can rest assured."
”
Suktara kept smiling: "The teachers are all for your own good."
