The board of directors of Xibidi Ling Mining Company has passed a resolution for Duke to take over the 1% stake sold by Clarinda.
After receiving the notice, Duke immediately began to raise money to purchase.
"I need a professional financial team to manage my assets." When it comes to such a large amount of finance, he needs the help of a professional team.
Can only recruit externally.
The recruitment method is very simple. Half are recruited from students studying finance to train as future financial personnel. The other half are supported by important people from various companies, such as Youshi Clothing Company, Giant of Light Spirit Weapon Company, and Master Suktara.
Tower, Wizard Penrose Tower...
In a short period of time, a financial team of 25 people was established.
After signing the contract, he began to serve Duke.
"You have to be divided into three groups. One group will contact my teacher Suktara's financial team and borrow money from her; the other group will contact Runwanjia Spiritual Equipment Factory, which will cost me a lot of patent infringement fees.
;A group of people contacted the Xibit Ling Mining Company and purchased shares."
"Understood, sir."
"Then take action!"
Duke opens its own small treasury to the financial team.
He cashed out his previous financing and saved a deposit of about 60,000 gold dragons. After keeping 10,000 gold dragons as daily expenses, the remaining 50,000 gold dragons were handed over to the financial team.
"Leave professional matters to professionals. As arcane mages, we don't need to worry about everything." Suktara suggested.
"Teacher, this is the first time you handle such a large amount of money, so you have to be careful."
"How much will Xibiti price 1% of its shares?"
"1.42 million golden dragons." Duke said an astronomical number.
"Fortunately, it looks like a lot, but it's actually not that much to you. The Giant of Light is estimated to be worth two to three million gold dragons, right?"
"I haven't done any detailed calculations, but thanks to the promotion of strong light technology, the entire field of wind and breath is basically the market of giants of light, and the valuation of three million should not be a problem." Duke calculated, "But I only have 30
% of the shares."
30% of three million, approximately 900,000 golden dragons.
"Don't forget that you also have patents for strong light technology and portable light technology. Companies in eleven fields have to pay you patent fees. It's not a problem to make hundreds of thousands a year." Suktara said with a smile, "
You have become a rich man."
Duke smiled: "The patent fees have been flowing steadily, and I can't collect them now."
"Now the Holy City Erudite Tower is helping you promote bright light technology. Soon, the patent fees will continue to flow into your pocket."
"By the way, teacher, I can only provide 170,000 for the share fee of 1.42 million gold dragons. I need you to support 1.25 million gold dragons. Will you feel any pressure with such a large cash flow?"
"What kind of pressure can I have? I can't get my mage tower out. I still have friends. I can borrow it. In short, don't worry about this. Let the professionals do it. You can follow the teacher with peace of mind.
Just study."
"Okay." Duke responded.
Suktara smiled with satisfaction: "That's right."
For her, nothing is important now, even if the Mage Tower falls down, the only thing worthy of attention is Professor Duke.
One teaching and one learning, it’s fun.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Butler Sully came to inform that it was time to end the teaching time.
Duke was about to leave, and Suktara said before leaving: "Teaching will be normal tomorrow. In addition, in another month we will be able to teach the direction of making arcane weapons. I am going to go to another place to take over the design and construction of arcane weapons to help
You hold the secret."
Suktara is an alchemist. Although his research direction is ring replicating materials, he is skilled in the casting of arcane weapons.
Many arcane mages seek Suktara's help when forging arcane weapons.
"Teacher, I have a classmate, Shanfeis, whom you met at the birthday party." Duke said, "He seems to be preparing to cast the arcane weapon. He asked me to tell you before that he wanted to ask for your help.
Get a discount on the fee."
"Oh, Shanfeisi wants to forge arcane weapons, so this is a good opportunity." Suktala said happily.
"Then let me go back and contact him?"
Suktala waved her hand: "Well, tell him that as long as he prepares all the materials, the teacher will waive the design fee and casting fee."
"Okay!"
Duke leaves.
In fact, not only is Shanfeis planning to forge the arcane weapon, but he himself also plans to forge an arcane weapon.
According to Xiaoyi's schedule, the third Arcane Wonder - Healing Arcane Wonder will be completed in more than half a month.
And there is still a lot of redundancy for building new arcane wonders or arcane weapons.
Excluding the one-ring sand eagle that does not occupy a position, he can build four arcane wonders or arcane weapons. It must be said that the spiritual core talent is really good.
He is not unique in the world, but he is better than most arcane mages.
After all, some level 1 arcane mages may only be able to build two arcane wonders on the orbit, and some extreme cases can only build one arcane wonder.
The defensive arcane spells include Arcane Shield, the camouflage arcane spells include Illusion, and the therapeutic arcane spells include Healing.
Attack arcane spells are replaced by a ring of sand eagles and do not need to be constructed.
Therefore, Duke no longer needs to build a fourth arcane wonder. After all, there are not many truly outstanding level 1 arcane wonders.
It is more valuable to design a piece of arcane weapon tailor-made.
It's just that Duke already has a ring of sand eagles on the surface. It is said to be a relic inherited from the arcane mage's ancestors, so it naturally has to occupy a position.
If we forge another arcane weapon, I'm afraid it will attract unnecessary attention.
After all, no matter how smart a level 1 arcane mage is, he won't cast two arcane weapons to take up space - arcane weapons cannot be cast instantly, they are just a piece of equipment to carry around.
"Help Shanfeisi cast the arcane weapon. In the process, we will learn all the techniques. When the time comes, Xiaoyi and I will cast an arcane weapon ourselves!"
He already has a plan in mind.
Without Xiaoyi, I would never dare to design or cast arcane weapons randomly, but with the help of Xiaoyi, everything is possible.
At noon the next day, he took the time to go to Wizard Scott's Tower and found Shanphis who was operating on a patient.
The owner of the Mage Tower, the 3rd-level arcane mage Scott Yihu, is not only a life scholar, but also the chairman of the Shenjiao City Hospital. The hospital is built in the castle of the Mage Tower, making it convenient for Scott to treat patients anytime and anywhere.
Disease.
"Duke, why are you here?" Shanfeis took off his white coat and led Duke into his office.
"Come and see how your studies in medicine are going?"
"It's not bad, at least it gives me more experience than card making, and it's faster to get started." Shanfeisi was much calmer than before, "I just feel heavy in my heart all the time. Spirituality nourishes all things, but spirituality is not omnipotent. Some
Even the disease arcane mage can't do anything."
"I'm very happy to see that you can empathize with ordinary people."
Shanfisi rolled his eyes: "Why can't I empathize with ordinary people? I am born as an ordinary person. Oh, by the way, and don't talk to me like an old man. Why are you so happy? It makes you look like me."
He seems to be a generation younger than you."
"But I am indeed very pleased...and I have full admiration for Mr. Scott Yihu. There are not many arcane mages who are willing to develop medicine for ordinary people."
"You might as well admire me. I am the one who sincerely studies medicine and treats ordinary people. As for my mentor..." Shanfeis approached Duke and whispered, "I think according to the current research direction of Mage Tower, it won't be long before my mentor..."
You have to be expelled from the Magic Spirit Tower."
Duke was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Shanfeisi said nonchalantly: "You know, my mentor's favorite thing to do is to dissect corpses. He wants to find the location of the sea of spirit, sea of blood and sea of qi. He thinks that he has found the location and opens the three seas.
It will be easy!"
"No..."
"Well, anyway, I plan to leave the Master Tower once the three-year training period is over, open a hospital of my own, and do research on basic diseases of ordinary people."
He spread his hands helplessly and added: "I don't want to wander on the edge of taboo experiments. I haven't enjoyed enough of the great life!"
"Your plan is right, don't take any chances." Duke replied, "Something happened to Mr. Scott, and Mr. Stephen Wing Tiger was covering up for him. Even if the Faling Tower removed him, it wouldn't matter.
It's different for civilians like you and me to prevent him from living a good life."
"Of course I understand this."
Shanfeisi was outspoken, but not stupid at all. He changed the subject directly: "Duke, do you think it's just because of my background that my fate is so bumpy?"
Duke has a question mark on his face, because he is unknown.
Shanfisi continued: "You said, it's fine for aristocratic beauties like Kiriya Raging Waves and Joanna Lynx to ignore me, but how come the ugly female Arcana mage also ignores me? Could it be that I really can't catch her?
A female arcane mage?"
"Well, it's hard for me to answer this question. I'm single too." Duke didn't tell the truth.
Because the truth is a bit shocking. Shanfeis is average in appearance, average in origin, and even more average in talent. It is natural that there are no female arcane mages to take him seriously.
Women who can be promoted to arcane mage can never be coaxed by a clever mouth and a few sweet words.
"Although you are single, there are many female arcane mages around you!" Shanfeisi's face was filled with envy and jealousy. "Kilija Furious Wave only smiles at you, and Joanna Lynx is surrounding you. Why?
...Forget it, since you obtained the title of scholar at the age of eighteen, I think I can accept this."
"Okay, Shanfeisi, let's stop talking nonsense and talk about business."
"Ah, isn't getting out of singles considered a serious matter?" Shanfeisi was surprised, "My top priority in life right now is getting out of singles!"
"...Forget it."
"That's right. Men should get married when they are old and girls should get married when they are old. Duke, don't think we are still young, but time flies by so fast, and we will get old after a while."
"Yes, in another seventy or eighty years, we will be old."
After chatting a lot of nonsense, Duke finally brought the topic back on track: "Sanfis, didn't you say before that you wanted to ask my teacher to help you cast arcane weapons?"
"Yes." Shanfisi nodded, "I am raising money. Before Giant of Light raised funds, I gave you all my small treasury. Now I don't have much money on hand."
"Can we get the materials together?"
"Absolutely, I've already prepared the main materials, especially the spiritual gold. Even the key spiritual materials that may be added to the design plan, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy them for a while." Shanfeisi said, and he also
Just a student.
He was promoted to Arcane Mage a few years before Duke, and has been going around in the Mage Tower, and has not yet finished his training.
So I didn’t save many golden dragons.
"It's okay, my teacher just happened to have an opportunity." Duke said, "The teacher was planning to take a job from other places, so he just happened to lead me to do it, which can be regarded as teaching me. I said you want to cast an arcane weapon. Teacher, look
I don’t charge any fees, as long as you prepare the materials yourself.”
"Really, that's great!" Shanfeisi said in surprise, "If you go back and forth, you can save tens of thousands of gold dragons!"
The material cost of a 1-ring arcane weapon is only tens of thousands of gold dragons, and a cheaper one of 10,000 gold dragons can be obtained.
Mainly the design fee, the casting fee is relatively expensive.
"Then it's settled. After you gather the materials, you can go to Suktara Master Tower and talk about the idea of the arcane weapon when you have time."
"Haha, okay!"
……
"Duke."
"What's the matter, Kilia?" Duke received Kilia Furtao who knocked on the door in his office, "You rarely come to my office as a guest."
"I have just completed the reorganization of my exclusive meditation method. I have spent all my time practicing, and my communication with everyone is indeed a bit less."
"Have you reorganized the exclusive meditation method? This is a good thing."
"It's far worse than your performance at that time." Kylia felt a little disappointed in her heart. The more she compared, the more she felt that there was a huge gap between her and Duke.
The time it took Duke to reorganize the meditation method, the speed at which he understood the Vine of Guardian Mystery, and the number of visions in the meditation method were all astonishingly high.
She is determined to catch up.
It’s just that she is powerless. So far, she still goes to the Union Tower from time to time to observe the 3-ring tree king - the Mysterious Vine from bottom to top and top to bottom, hoping to understand the special vision of the Guardian and Mysterious Vine.
,Unfortunately not.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Throughout the Black Flood River, the number of arcane mages who have understood the Vine of Protection and Mystery can be counted on one hand.
"No need to compare with me, I'm just luckier." Duke smiled and put everything down to luck.
Although the tone is modest, the words spoken make people even more depressed.
"Spiritual blessing, maybe this is spiritual blessing." Kiriya adjusted her mood and smiled slightly, "I'm here to invite you to visit Master Keystone Tower. My grandfather wants to meet the new shareholders of Xibiti.
Let’s meet and get to know each other.”
Duke was surprised: "Lord Christian, do you want to see me?"
"Yes, during this period of time in the entire Shenjiao City, the hottest topic of discussion among Arcane mages is you."
"I'm sincerely afraid." Duke nodded and responded, "I can go back and prepare at some time."
"Tomorrow night."
"Okay."
"Then I won't disturb you." Kiriya stood up.
"Walk slowly." Duke stood up.
Watching Kiriya leave the office, the charming figure vaguely visible under the arcanist mage's robe always made him think a lot.
After returning home in the evening, he told Suktara that he was going to the Master Kiston Tower for a banquet.
Suktara smiled and said: "Mr. Christian is the chairman of Hibiti. Meeting the new shareholders is what the question says. You don't have to be nervous."
"I'm not nervous at all." Duke replied.
"Don't you feel like meeting your parents?"
"Um, no."
"Really?" Suktala teased, "My fair lady, you are so jealous. Kilia Furious Wave is just a flower in Shenjiao City. Don't you have any special ideas?"
If Duke were a normal young man, he might blush.
But he is not.
He just replied calmly: "Teacher, it's not normal to say that I have no idea. Love between men and women is of course what I love. But I'm still young now, and practice and study are the most important. As for the love between men and women, let it be.
."
"I understand your thoughts, and I support you in putting your career as the most important thing." Suktara sighed as he spoke, "But the teacher, as a person who has experienced it, has a suggestion for you.
When you are young, you can love whenever you want."
Duke silently.
Suktara continued: "Don't always think that the arcane mage's life span is long, so you can wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, etc., maybe in the end the wait will be in vain."
This view is quite consistent with Shanfeisi’s concept.
Duke accepted humbly: "I am not a person who is emotionally ambiguous. Don't worry, teacher. I don't shy away from letting nature take its course. I will never be ambiguous when it's time to take action."
"That's right!" Suktara praised, "This is the teacher's good student. A flower in Shenjiao City should be picked off by my student and left in Shenjiao City. But don't let anyone come from other cities."
The arcane mage took it away. It should be noted that the Nutao family likes to engage in marriage."
The Nutao family's fiefdom is in Shenjiao City. They were one of the first nobles to build Shenjiao City. Later, when the city expanded, the fiefdom was donated free of charge.
After all, compared with the little income from scraping food from the fiefdom, how can it be as fast as participating in the operation of the entire Shenjiao City to make money.
As the top nobles in Shenjiao City, the Nutao family often marries with nobles from other cities.
捯鬬鍯鬬.
After get off work the next day, Duke and Kiliya took the same shuttle and went to the Keystone Wizard Tower as a guest.
Master Keyston's Tower is the tallest building in Shenjiao City, with a height of three to four hundred meters. It is also built on a hilltop and is often shrouded in clouds and mist.
The castle surrounding the mage tower stretches over a large area, covering the entire mountain.
It seems that this is no longer a mountain, but a mountain composed of castles. At least hundreds of thousands of people live in Castle Mountain.
After the shuttle entered the castle, it circled and flew to the mage tower. There was already a butler waiting at the door for Kylia and Duke.
"Miss Kylia, Your Excellency Duke, the master has not come back yet, so I signal to Miss Kiliya that you can take Mr. Duke to visit the Mage Tower first."
"Okay." Kilia nodded.
Duke followed Kylia and visited this magnificent mage tower. Compared to the external grandeur, the interior was actually not much different from other mage towers.
Tall pillars, thick walls, and magnificent decoration.
But look carefully.
Being able to see a little difference, Duke touched the wall and suddenly asked: "Kilia, this mage tower has the breath of a living creature. Is it a tower spirit?"
Xiaoyi hangs up and uses the breathing method, and with the help of the spiritual plants everywhere in the tower, he has outlined all the areas, generated a map, and played it on the Dou Qi holographic screen. This allowed Duke to intuitively see the nature.
Changes in force.
Inside the entire mage tower, there is a special natural force that has been targeting him since he first entered it.
As Duke went upstairs, this force of nature also changed its position and continued to stare at him.
After Xiaoyi carefully analyzed the feedback from the breathing method, she determined that this natural force was emitted from the walls of this mage tower.
"Can you feel Grandpa Ironhead?" Kiriya said in surprise.
"Grandpa Iron Head?"
Under Duke's curious eyes, Kiriya clapped her hands at the wall, and then shouted loudly: "Grandpa Iron Head, Kiriya please come out and meet me!"
Then the two of them waited together.
But after waiting for a while, there was no movement.
Duke couldn't help but look at Kylia, and the Dou Qi holographic screen showed that the natural force staring at him was swimming in the nearby wall, but it had no intention of showing up.
Kiriya smiled awkwardly: "It seems that Grandpa Tietou doesn't plan to come out to meet."
"Grandpa Tietou is the tower spirit, an ancient spirit?"
"Yes."
"What does it look like?"
"Grandpa Tietou is a fish. Do you know that in ancient times, the armored fish in it may be the species of Grandpa Tietou." Kiriya said, "Grandpa Tietou has been a tower spirit longer than my grandfather.
It will last forever. If it doesn’t want to come out, no one can shout it out.”
"The armored fish is the armored fish in the sea of fish, right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Yes."
The phantom of ancient times includes various periods of ancient times, including the ocean of insects, the sea of fish, the forest of ferns, the source of frogs, the forest of dinosaurs, the sky of birds, etc. It is like the development process of life, which is
The Fountain of Spirituality was made into a movie.
Play it from time to time.
"Then you know about the Sea of Fishes. Your ancestors must have experienced the Sea of Fishes, right?" Duke began to inquire about the information.
He experienced the Ocean of Insects in Cuihai Valley, and after returning, he paid close attention to it, wanting to see what the arcane mages thought of it.
It turned out that when the Ocean of Insects broke out, he might have been the only arcane mage in the entire Cuihai Valley.
In other words, he was the only one who saw the outbreak in the Ocean of Insects.
Therefore, the exploration of the Ocean of Insects will come to nothing. At most, in his free time, he will let Xiaoyi replay the saved images in the spiritual sea, and then savor them carefully, savoring all the shadows. The root cause is from
Where did it come from?
"I really don't know about this. I have known about the existence of Grandpa Iron Tou since I was a child, but I have never carefully explored the origin of Grandpa Iron Tou." Kilia shook her head.
This is like many people seeing the sun every day but never thinking about what the sun is.
Duke was about to continue asking.
Suddenly a loud voice came: "A group of ghosts from hundreds of millions of years ago are trapped in the safe called the Spring of Spirituality. When the time comes and the lock of the safe is opened, they start to turn and repeat the same process as before.
Memories swirling in time and space hundreds of millions of years later."
It's Christian Fury, walking up the stairs.
He waved slightly to the wall, and the next moment, a huge transparent fish made of rays of light suddenly emerged from the wall.
This big fish swam silently like a ghost and quickly swam in front of Duke and Kiriya. The body outlined by the light could clearly be seen that its entire head was wrapped in bone armor. There were no fish scales on the body, but fine and dense ones.
Bone armor.
A pair of eyes on the fish's head, shining with dark blue light, looked at Duke deeply.
Then, taking advantage of Duke's dazed moment, he bumped into Duke.
Before Duke could react, the seven- to eight-meter-long fish completely passed through his and Kilia's bodies and crashed into another wall.
Then he emerged from the far wall, swam flexibly, and finally hovered behind Kidson.
Kirsten has already walked up. His lion-like blond hair is exactly the same as Kiriya's wavy golden hair.
Only his snow-white beard can tell that he is old.
"A group of sad fish don't know that they are just trapped memories of ancient times. They are pitiful but dangerous. If you swim with them, you may end up being trapped in the spring of spirituality, becoming a ghost like them, or being captured.
Take me back hundreds of millions of years ago, where you will be lonely until you die of old age."
Christian just finished speaking.
The big fish hovering behind him, Grandpa Tietou, suddenly opened his mouth and made a buzzing sound: "You are not a fish, how can I know the joy of fish!"
"Old Tietou, I don't know if the fish is happy, but I know that becoming a ghost is definitely not happy. You should just stay inside the wall honestly. Don't try to bewitch me all day long. Join you and become a ghost.
Ghostly."
"You are not a fish, you know how happy it is to be a fish!" Grandpa Tietou shook his armored fish head, as if he was too lazy to argue with Christian.
Then he dived into the wall and disappeared.
Only then did Duke find the opportunity and bowed and saluted: "Lord Christian."
"No need to be polite." Christian squinted his eyes and looked at Duke, and said cheerfully, "The youngest scholar in the field of wind and breath, just looking at his appearance, he is indeed quite good. Compared with those crooked arcane mages, it looks like
It’s much more pleasing to the eye.”
"Your Excellency, this is ridiculous."
"Why are you so polite? You can tell whether you are handsome or not with your eyes. When I was young, whoever dared to say that I was not handsome would have my ears shaved. I hate dishonest people the most."
It seems like a joke.
But I feel like I said it very seriously.
Duke smiled lightly and responded: "I think so, we should respect different aesthetics and care more about blind people."
"Good boy, I really thought you didn't have any confidence!" Christian laughed loudly, "Let's go, little Duke, little Kylia, let's take you to Genting Garden to watch the sunset."
