The investiture ceremony was not as grand as the bell-ringing ceremony, but it was particularly honorable at the Arcane Mage level. After a lengthy speech, Erwin, the chief director of the Erudite Tower, personally put on a special crown for Duke.
Scholar's hat.
It's a bit like a doctor's hat and looks very stylish when worn on your head.
In addition to the scholar's hat, there is also a specially made scholar card with the symbol of natural history on it, indicating that he is a scholar.
"Come, let's invite a Duke scholar to give his acceptance speech." Erwin held Duke's hand and said cheerfully.
The birth of a local scholar is, for him, part of his own merit.
This is even related to whether he can be awarded the title of learned sage in the future.
To be promoted from a scholar to a sage, we must not only look at the attainments of natural history, but also how many natural history talents have been brought out. A polymath like Duke is among the top natural history talents, and for Erwin
The bonus on your promotion path is huge.
"Welcome Duke Scholar to give a speech!" Joanna Bobcat shouted loudly while applauding vigorously in the crowd of onlookers.
Duke won the title of polymath, and she felt even more excited than Duke.
Probably because this is the first arcane mage among her small circle of friends to obtain the title of scholar, and he is proud of it.
Or maybe it's because she has little hope of getting a scholar title. Not even her father, Jovis Lynx, the third-level arcane mage, has ever received any scholar title. Therefore, what she can't get is the most precious thing, the charm of the scholar title.
Boundless.
"Ahem." Duke cleared his throat.
The arcane mages were very considerate of the new scholar, and soon stopped whispering, and all turned their attention to Duke in the center of the field.
Duke slowly gave the brightest and most handsome smile to the arcane mages around him, expressing his gratitude to everyone for their willingness to listen to him quietly.
The reporters who were guarding the perimeter and did not dare to crowd around the arcane mages also took out their slide cards and recorded Duke's handsome appearance. Then they took out their notebooks and held them with one hand, preparing to quickly record Duke's next speech.
.
It is conceivable that in the next few days, Duke will be awarded the title of Erudite, which will definitely become hot news in Shenjiao City and even the entire Heijiaohe River.
The people of the Seven Towers Federation worship arcane mages and scholars more than they worship stars on earth.
"When I was a child, I lived in the Sheshou Town Welfare Institution. My friends loved to play, but I was the only one who liked to look up at the sky." Duke spoke a little slowly because he needed to search for the things left by his predecessor.
memory.
Then he reorganized these memory fragments and tried to outline himself as a child.
"I always think a lot about why the stars blink, why the moon waxes and wanes, why the sky is blue, why the sun is so small and so hot... When I grow up, I will study in the town.
Working in a card shop, I’m still full of thoughts.”
"I looked at my card repair master at the time, who would save one or two paste boxes every month. I was thinking that the paste boxes are not expensive, so why are the paste boxes so expensive?"
"This is an interesting story." Duke joked maliciously about a certain 3rd level arcane mage who was not present, "Then I invented a technology that saved a lot of boxes of batter, and then I sold it.
, because I urgently need money to buy the awakening potion."
There were well-informed arcane mages around, and they smiled in a dignified manner, adding a touch of happiness to the quiet atmosphere.
"An awakening potion requires 23 silver dragons."
"I never think that I am a genius. How can a genius need to take drugs to open the spiritual sea? But I am undoubtedly lucky."
Duke became more and more fluent as he talked: "I sold the technology to the shop owner, and the boss paid me 10 gold dragons, but I think the boss must have resold it for a big price, because when he came back, he felt that he had treated me badly.
, you might as well not even ask for it from the store, just give it to me for free."
"This is the first business in my life. So far, it is still running the card repair business in Sheshou Town."
"Undoubtedly, I have a close relationship with spirit cards... so I have now become a card maker. Some time ago, I successfully made arcane cards. Now, in my store, I can sell the spirit cards I made myself.
Card."
Master Youao suddenly clapped his hands, and Duke could see clearly that it was Shanfeisi.
Following Shanfeisi's lead, the whole hall soon burst into applause. Only the reporters on the periphery kept recording.
When the applause died down, Duke looked around.
Everyone nodded and smiled at the arcane mages they knew or didn't know. When they saw Kyria Furious and Joanna Lynx who were giving him thumbs up, they even raised their eyebrows.
He continued: "But I also have a close relationship with alchemy. My teacher Suktara led me into a brand new field and allowed me to see more different scenery. I was inspired by this and was always motivated.
Work hard to contribute.”
He took advantage of the pause and smiled at Suktara in the crowd.
Suktara was overjoyed.
Duke added: "But the topic has reached this point. I must say that I have a close relationship with the study of natural history."
"I don't like the night. The night in the orphanage is scary...I often fantasize about keeping the sun in the day, in the winter, in the cloudy days...But the sun is too far away, and I can't do it.
It remains, the sun rises and the moon sets, and it does not change according to anyone's will."
"But when I mentioned the Lingfeng Lantern, I thought, maybe I can hold a little sun to provide me with light in the dark night..."
"I invented the portable light...but it's not enough."
"...After countless attempts, I finally invented the strong light technology...I realized my wish. I held the sun in my hands. Even though it was a small sun, it could still turn the night into day.
”
"I remember when I made the first batch of strong lighting lamps, I went to the orphanage in Sheshou Town and installed the strong lighting lamps myself."
"When night comes, turn on the switch."
"The orphanage is as bright as daytime, and the children are cheering for joy. I think that from now on, the nights in the orphanage will never be so dark and scary."
Duke really did this, but it was not done specifically for the orphanage.
The first batch of trial-produced bright lighting lamps from the strong light factory in Sheshou Town were basically digested internally by Sheshou Town.
In order to express their support for Duke, the Black Snake family purchased a large number of bright lights and replaced all the lights in the town. During Duke's inspection at that time, he stopped by the welfare home and sponsored some money for the welfare home.
and supplies.
This includes strong lighting.
Art comes from life and is higher than life, so Duke simply processed this matter and added it to his speech.
A little inspirational and sensational.
Sure enough, after the speech, the audience burst into applause again. It was completely different from the perfunctory and formulaic applause before. It was heartfelt applause from everyone, warm and powerful.
"Thank you, thank you all!" Duke held the scholar card in his hand, "Thank you to the Erudite Tower for recognizing me and granting me the title of Erudite. I still have a lot of ideas and inspirations, waiting for me to turn them into inventions and change the world.
!"
"Thank you!"
Duke completed his investiture ceremony speech.
However, his mission was not over yet. The arcane mages dispersed one after another, and he had to stay to be interviewed by reporters.
After the interview is over, you have to replace the magic spirit card with a new one - the scholar's magic spirit card will have gold edges inlaid around it.
"Your Excellency Duke, thank you for accepting the interview with "Daily Shenjiao City"." The newspaper reporter said respectfully.
"You're welcome. If you have any questions, just ask. Let's hurry up. I have some things to deal with later."
"Okay, let's get started." The reporter flipped through his notebook, "You just turned eighteen today. According to the information we found, you should be the youngest scholar in the entire field of wind and breath.
How do you feel about this?"
"Actually, it's not bad. After all, I was promoted to arcane mage relatively early, and I have been studying spiritual arcana for almost two years now."
"Nowadays, strong light lamps have become a must-have lamp at home, and countless people are praising you. Do you have any response to this?"
"I hope that my invention can bring more convenience to society. The spiritual arcana is vast and boundless. Not only the upper levels should have beautiful scenery, but the lower levels should also have beautiful scenes." Duke thought for a while and said, "I will continue to study in the museum.
Deeply cultivate the field of study."
"You speak so well, and you are so considerate of the people at the bottom." The reporter sincerely admired, and then asked: "You are still studying in the Master Tower. When you finish your training, will you go to the Erudite Tower to work?"
"I didn't think about it."
"Okay, next question..."
After a few questions, the reporter from "Daily Shenjiaoshi" left and a reporter from another newspaper came to ask questions. It took half an hour to end the interview.
Duke went to Erwin's office.
After obtaining the title of Erudite, his status has been greatly improved. He no longer needs to make an appointment and can jump in line to visit any arcane mage.
We didn’t talk about anything important, we just came to say hello and thank the other party for their support.
"Work hard, I hope to see the birth of a learned sage in my lifetime." Erwin personally walked Duke to the door of the office.
"I will work hard." Duke left.
Return to Suktara Master Pagoda, continue the birthday celebration that has not yet ended, and relax lively into the evening.
In the evening, Suktala did not ask to continue teaching.
So Duke sent away the guests celebrating his birthday and lay on his big bed, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.
"Duke, I wish you a happy birthday." The little chicken swam out of the sea of air.
"It's rare to hear you speak without a bad mouth." Duke laughed.
It has been almost two years since I contracted with the chicken. The chicken's body shape has not changed significantly, but its short legs have obviously grown longer and thicker.
"Hey, I don't have a bad mouth, I just like to tell the truth." Little Chicken shook his thick tail and said, "Well, it's your birthday today. If you're happy, I want to eat two spiritual crystals."
"Haha, what are you going to eat? Two pieces of spiritual crystals. Eat them. Eat as much as you want!" Duke directly placed a large pile of spiritual crystals on the table. "The Giant of Light has won a great victory in the business war. Now,
I have already started to return the original, you know I sent it!"
"What's wrong?" Chicken's eyes widened, "Haha, I knew you could do it, Duke. Who can make more money than you? I'll take it!"
As he spoke, he picked up a spiritual crystal.
After a few crunches, he chewed it up and swallowed it. Then he picked up another piece, chewed it up and swallowed it.
After eating four spiritual crystals in a row, he burped: "I can't eat any more, I have to digest it."
"You're full after only four. You're not strong enough. How long will it take for you to evolve into a big elf with this little appetite?" Duke laughed.
The little chicken snorted: "You can live longer by eating healthily."
"Okay, in short, let me eat freely from now on. What's the spiritual crystal? I will buy you a spiritual mine in the future." Duke boasted, "I am now a scholar. In this area of the Black Jiao River,
He is a big shot."
The chicken asked: "Then can you rescue my grandma?"
"This... I'll ask you later."
"Hmph, food!"
"Don't worry, I am in the rising stage of my career now. When I progress further, I will have the capital to bargain with the fourth-level arcane mage. At that time, I will negotiate with Bernoulli and ask for your grandma to come over and let you and your grandson come over.
A reunion."
The chicken's grandma is an ancient spirit.
Every ancient spirit is like a book of arcana written from ancient times to today.
In the entire Black Dragon River land, there are only a few mage towers with ancient spirits.
The best arrangement for the Ancient Spirit is to become the "Tower Spirit" of the Mage Tower, cooperating with the owner of the Mage Tower to better manage the entire Mage Tower.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Or you can arrange the ancient spirit as a "war spirit" to help control a battleship.
Now it is difficult for Duke to fight for such an ancient spirit with the fourth-level earth arcane mage Bernoulli. Even if he gives the giant of light to the other party, he cannot get the ancient spirit - the ancient spirit can be used as an arcana.
The mage's assistant can also help the arcane mage explore spiritual arcana.
"Don't lie to me."
"How could I lie to you? There is an elf contract between you and me, but you still don't understand my thoughts?"
"I understand, so I wonder if you would lie to me!"
"Little Chicken, you hurt my heart just by saying that." Duke felt sad for a moment, and then said, "Tomorrow, I will take you to visit Xiaohong."
"Okay, okay, I haven't seen Xiaohong for several days. Alas, I don't know if Xiaohong can find a partner and create a new ant colony." The chicken was happy and distressed, "What do you mean by 3 rings?"
Male ants can't mate with Xiaohong normally!"
"I will ask the Broken Sword mercenary group to keep an eye on the Cuihai Valley. Maybe they can find the fifth-level bloodline burrowing army ants. When the time comes, I will capture a male ant and come over to match." Duke said.
He now raises the crypt army ant queen Xiao Hong, who has a bloodline of 5 rings, on the farm.
For this reason, I also specifically asked several arcane mages in the Gu field for advice on how to cultivate spiritual insects and how to breed spiritual insects.
It's a pity.
Xiao Hong inherited the 5-ring bloodline of the queen ant red branch, and was reproductively isolated from the 3-ring bloodline of ordinary burrowing army ants.
So even though Duke purchased several live-captured 3-ring male ants from Sheshou Town, Xiao Hong was still unable to give birth to offspring. Now there is only one ant, alone in the designated area of the farm, digging nests every day, and making offspring.
In a daze.
Even Duke thought of catching a group of ordinary burrowing army ants and giving them to Xiaohong as his subordinates.
Xiaohong didn't cooperate. When she saw these burrowing army ants that she didn't produce, she went up and bit the burrowing army ants to death.
"Where can I find it? When the red branch was alive, the mercenaries were so picky that they couldn't catch the ants in its colony." The chicken was very disdainful of the mercenaries. It was only in awe of arcane mages like Duke, "It might as well be
Take Xiaohong to Cuihai Valley and let Xiaohong find her husband by herself!"
"Well..." Duke's eyes suddenly lit up when Chicken Little said this, "Chicken, maybe what you said makes sense."
"What?"
"Most of the burrowing army ants in Cuihai Valley have been wiped out by arcane mages, and the rest have also been swept away by the cantharis army from Bernoulli's wizard tower. Those who have been moved are moved away, and those who are hidden are hidden. The mercenaries are rarely able to do so anymore.
Encountered these ants."
"So I say, it's all for nothing." The chicken was spread out on the table, digesting the full spirit crystal.
Duke said: "No, no, just because the mercenaries can't find it doesn't mean that Xiao Hong can't be found. Xiao Hong has wings and can fly on its own. I can definitely take it to Cuihai Valley and let it find the 5th Ring on its own."
Bloodline male ants mate!"
Basically, a queen ant mates once and it lasts her whole life.
When the time comes, we can bring Xiaohong back and breed Xiaohong’s ant colony here on the farm.
Just do it if you think of it.
Duke asked for leave from Teacher Penrose the next day, informed Teacher Suktara, and prepared to take the Black Beetle to Snake Head Town.
"Child, take the teacher's airship Chasing Shadow. From now on, you will use the airship Chasing Shadow when you travel far away. Teacher doesn't go out much anyway." Suktala learned of Duke's plan and directly transferred her airship to
Gave it to Duke for use.
Duke declined and accepted happily.
The teacher treats him sincerely, how can he live up to his true love? In the future, he can just spend more time on alchemy and repay the teacher.
The Shadow Chaser airship slowly took off, and Duke took his own team members to enjoy the joy of sailing in the sky.
This airship is a standardized airship that has solidified several powerful arcane spells.
"Wow, sir, the feeling of riding in an airship alone is different from the feeling of squeezing into an airship with other Arcane Masters." Assistant Murali was walking around in the luxurious cabin of the airship, filled with joy. "Hmm." Duke said perfunctorily.
He is reading today's newspaper. Reading the newspaper for a while every day is a good habit he has developed.
The front page headline of "Daily Shenjiaoshi" is a picture of Duke wearing a scholar's hat and smiling brightly.
"Duke, the son of the sun who brings light to the people, has been awarded the title of Erudite by the Holy City of Arcane!"
The article praised Duke's great invention for bringing light to thousands of households, and detailed the inspirational story about the orphanage and the little sun in Duke's speech, calling Duke the son of the sun, as if all the light came from Duke.
Gram brings.
As for the ancestor Arcane Mage who invented the light bulb, let’s not mention it.
"The youngest scholar in the field of wind breath, a genius arcane mage in Shenjiao City, and a Duke scholar was awarded the honorary title at the Erudite Tower."
In another newspaper, Duke's conferment was still the headline on the front page, and the accompanying picture showed a group of arcane mages surrounding Duke.
"The great arcane mage who came out of the orphanage was crowned as a scholar in the Erudite Tower yesterday."
"Duke, the youngest arcane mage in the Black Dragon River, has become the youngest scholar in the field of wind and breath, and has achieved unprecedented great achievements."
"Warm congratulations to Master Dukeo for winning the title of Erudite."
"The Son of the Sun brings light to the people, and Duke, the Ambassador of Light, is awarded the title of Erudite."
Newspapers after newspapers are full of praise for Duke, and some of the praise has even reached the level of disgusting.
It will almost make Duke equal to the sages in the Temple of Valor.
It should be noted that in the Temple of Heroes in the Holy City of Arcane Magic, every candidate is an epoch-making arcane mage who has made important contributions to all mankind on the path of spiritual arcane magic.
"Too much moisture, too much bragging!" Duke shook his head and read the entire content with great satisfaction.
The sense of accomplishment in my heart is almost overflowing.
In any case, with the promotion of strong light fixtures in the Seven Towers Federation, his name will be destined to be recorded in history.
Son of the Sun, Messenger of Light.
"It's not a new nickname." He put down the newspaper in his hand and told Mulali, "I'm going to practice. Don't let anyone disturb me until I get to the station."
"Okay, sir." Mulali quickly left the room and closed the door carefully.
Duke calmed down his emotions, sat cross-legged on the comfortable training bed, closed his eyes and looked inside his spiritual sea, observing the development of his spiritual core.
The looming spiritual core has become more and more like a spell model.
And the momentum of development, although slow, can be seen clearly with the naked eye, and it is changing all the time.
"This is the spirituality brought about by the strong light technology, which is promoting my understanding of spiritual arcana." Duke knew very well, "Being a savant will not substantially improve my practice, but being erudite
The tower helps me promote bright light technology, which is undoubtedly condensing my spirituality."
Spirituality is mysterious and mysterious.
Duke's invention has entered thousands of households, and many ordinary people have been affected by it, so there is a slight interaction between them.
Like a drop of water blown up by the waves in the spiritual ocean.
Gathering a small amount into a large number will eventually form a wave, slamming hard on the coast, completing a spiritual feedback.
The results of the feedback are reflected in Duke’s spiritual sea.
"The study of natural history is booming, perhaps because these thousands of ordinary people bring spiritual waves to the learned people and help the learned people practice faster."
Real, unreal.
Individual, mass.
Spirituality connects everything, even if it is thousands of miles away, even if it is thousands of years old, it can connect two seemingly unrelated things.
"This is the spiritual arcana!"
Duke sighed for a moment and looked at Xiaoyi's progress chart projected in the spiritual sea.
"Process 1: Exclusive meditation method, idle consumption consumes 25% of power. Currently, Linghai level, level 1 arcane scholar, training progress is estimated to be 35%, and the time budget cannot be quantified. Important reminder: The evolution speed of spiritual core has accelerated dramatically recently, and it has already been completed in the short term.
Improve the cultivation progress by about 8%."
There are too many uncertain factors in the arcanist master's training progress, and Xiaoyi is no longer able to give specific quantitative figures.
However, Xiaoyi can accurately record the changes in cultivation progress.
During the period of promoting the strong light technology, the feedback generated through spiritual interaction helped him deepen his understanding of spiritual arcana, which improved his progress by about 8%, and this feedback is still continuing.
.
"The study of natural history is far more important than I thought. Perhaps it is time to study the patented technologies related to film and television in a big way!"
He has accumulated quite a lot of new ideas for the study of slide cards.
It's just that it is temporarily sealed in Xiaoyi's database.
Immediately.
He looked at the next line of the process table: "Process 2: Healing Arcane Miracle, idle consumption consumes 55% of power. The current construction progress is 95.5%, and the time budget is 23 days."
The third arcane wonder has suddenly risen in the orbit.
It was a complex and exquisite green light that vaguely formed a heart-shaped structure. Together with the arcane shield and the illusion, two arcane wonders stood in a tripartite state on the track. The arcane weapon next to it was surrounded by sand.
The eagle turns independently.
"The healing arcane wonder is fast, but there is still redundant space in the ring orbit. I can still build a new arcane wonder!"
Duke was pleased with this. Most level 1 arcanists can only build two or three arcane wonders.
And he can build four arcane wonders, and they are all relatively complex arcana, which shows that the spiritual core he has condensed is more outstanding than others.
"Process 3: Sand Eagle 1.52 special effect bullet - elemental version, research and development consumes 19% power. The current research and development progress is 95.4%, the technical points have not yet been broken through, and the time budget cannot be estimated."
The research and development of Sand Eagle is stuck on a technical difficulty. Duke is temporarily unable to help, so Xiaoyi can only try to overcome it on his own.
Browse all processes.
Duke then gathered his thoughts and began to slowly sink into practice. Although Xiaoyi's offline practice was an auxiliary artifact, occasionally he had to practice it himself to deepen his understanding of the content calculated by Xiaoyi and improve his knowledge of spiritual arcana.
.
Xiaoyi cannot replace the understanding of spiritual arcana, he must complete it himself.
Fortunately.
No matter how complicated the knowledge is, after Xiaoyi's analysis and processing, it can be turned into a method that is relatively easy for Duke to understand.
It's like a difficult math problem, but Xiaoyi has completely solved the answer and explained every step clearly.
Duke just needs to follow the train of thought and nod.
"Practice... is so happy."
