Standing on the edge of Yunding Garden, it seems that you can take in the entire scenery of Heijiao River, with undulating mountains and rushing rivers.
"Isn't it beautiful? Is the Black Dragon River beautiful?" Christian asked calmly with his hands behind his back.
"It's so beautiful," Duke replied.
"Grandpa likes to stand here the most, overlooking the entire Black Flood River. Further north is the Huoyou area. Black oil is abundant there, but the environment is far worse than that of the Black Flood River." Kilia said. p>
"Don't mention the hot land, I get a headache when I think of Bernoulli. Cuihai Valley is such a good place, but it is given to outsiders!" Christian is getting older and more naughty, and he never hides what he wants to say, "Grandpa Grandpa
The reason why I like to stand here and look at the scenery is to protect this land."
"Your Excellency is truly the Optimus of the Black Dragon River." Duke flattered him a little.
"Hey, Optimus Prime, hey!" Christian was very satisfied with this statement, but soon sighed, "It's a pity that the Cuihai Valley can't hold it up."
"Then I can't blame you, Grandpa Zu. After all, there is Yalong."
"You misunderstood what grandpa meant. As for me, it means that this piece of meat from Cuihai Valley did not rot in our Heijiaohe land and was snatched away by Bernoulli!"
Christiansen bared his teeth and said: "I originally planned to arrange for Williams to develop, but Williams stayed in Shenjiao City and refused to leave. There were also the useless descendants of the Mubia family, who directly passed the news to Master Bernoulli.
The tower is gone!"
Arcane mages have a deep regional bias, especially in border areas like this.
Duke did not have such prejudice. He smiled and said: "Sir, Master Bernoulli established a family in Cuihai Valley. In the future, he will also increase the strength of Black Dragon River. After all, Cuihai Valley is far away from Huoyou.
It is impossible for his family to abandon the near and seek the far away."
"You are quite powerful, but I just don't like it. Bernoulli is so old-fashioned and still so afraid of death."
Christian snorted and continued: "If it were me, I would have fought with the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon and exploded my spiritual core to kill you!"
Duke thought to himself that Bernoulli was here to start a family, not to be a martyr.
If he doesn’t completely occupy Cuihai Valley, wait for the Seven Towers Federation to register him as a peer, and doesn’t refine the spirit beast bloodline for his family, I’m afraid Bernoulli won’t be willing to die.
But there is no need to say this.
Christian knows everything, he just expresses his feelings.
"By the way, sir, I remembered something." Duke thought of the Insect Ocean in Cuihai Valley and decided to report the matter. "I went to Cuihai Valley before to pay for one of my ant spirits.
Beast, looking for a marriage partner, unexpectedly bumped into something."
"What happened?"
"In the Ocean of Insects, I encountered an outbreak in the Ocean of Insects in Cuihai Valley, and I also saw a plate-footed horseshoe crab that looked similar to the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon."
"Ocean of Insects? Are you sure you hit the Ocean of Insects?" Christian's eyes widened.
Kylia also looked at Duke with beautiful eyes, surprised that such an extremely rare event could be encountered by Duke.
"I'm sure, I thought the higher-ups should know, so I didn't say anything. It was only after we talked here today that I thought of saying something."
Duke really thinks so.
He also wanted to find out some information about the Ocean of Insects from the top management, and then see if he could find an opportunity to benefit from it and rescue Xiaoji's grandma.
Who would have thought that after asking around, he would be the only person involved in the Ocean of Chong.
"I have never seen an ancient phantom in my life, but I did it to you, kid?" Christian looked Duke up and down, "I never saw how magical your kid is, how come you are favored by spirituality to be like this?"
How deep?”
"Maybe... it's a preference." Duke responded seriously.
Christian rolled his eyes: "The Ocean of Insects is the least threatening among the ghosts of ancient times. No matter how wrapped up in spirituality those ancient ghosts are, they will gradually decay over time. It can be said that you are very lucky. If
If you encounter an ancient phantom like the Sea of Fish, you may be killed."
"It scares me to say it."
"Wherever there is danger, there is opportunity. Little Duke, have you encountered any opportunities in the ocean of insects?" Christian asked curiously.
He has never encountered such a rare thing, which is undoubtedly a huge regret on the path of exploring spiritual arcana.
"It's like watching a show. There are no other benefits, but I did understand the vision of a bug."
"Have you realized a new vision again?" Kiriya on the side said in surprise.
She felt even more inexplicably sad in her heart. Everyone called her the sweet daughter of heaven, and Duke was undoubtedly a proud son of heaven.
We are all geniuses, why is the gap so big?
Since she was promoted to arcane mage, she has spent a lot of effort to reorganize the meditation method, but Duke's vision is like drinking water.
"Yes." Duke nodded.
Christian also clicked his tongue and exclaimed: "Little Duke, I seriously doubt that you jumped out of the spring of spirituality. How is this different from growing up soaking in the spring of spirituality... I made the right choice to let you join Xibidi."
, this is not a hundred times more interesting than some outlets!”
It's getting dark.
Christian directly took Duke back to his small villa, asked the butler to serve the food, and chatted with Duke and Kiliya while eating.
"Sir, I'm very curious. The spiritual spring in Cuihai Valley is only a medium-sized spring. How could an ocean of insects break out?" It was rare for Duke to see an old antique who lived for 190 years, so he regarded him as a living encyclopedia.
The whole book.
"Medium size?" Christian shook his head, "Although I had doubts before you mentioned the Ocean of Insects, I did think it was a medium-sized spring. But now I can confirm that this spring is not simple, it is definitely a large spring.
!"
"Grandpa, didn't you say that you went to see the spring in person?" Kilia was puzzled.
"I have been there and confirmed it myself. Judging from the performance of the spring and the interference intensity of the magical spiritual field, it can indeed only be regarded as a medium-sized spiritual spring. However, there are two three-ring trees growing next to the medium-sized spiritual spring.
This is unreasonable."
3. The ring spirit plant, known as the king of trees, needs strong spiritual stimulation, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.
"It should be noted that the spring in Shenjiao City originally had only two three-ring tree kings, and there were dragons guarding the spring..." Christian drank a glass of wine and continued, "Little Duke said that he experienced the insect
Only then did I realize that this spring is not simple."
Duke hurriedly asked: "Sir, why is it not simple?"
"It's okay to tell you. I'm afraid this spring is half blocked for some reason, so it shows the characteristics of a medium-sized spring. In fact, it should be a large spring!"
"Could it be artificially blocked?"
"No, the Black Snake family was the first to discover this spring, but they didn't have the ability to block it. As for Bernoulli, he only found out about this spring after us and had no chance to do anything." Christian squinted his eyes.
Laughing, "But this old guy must have discovered the clues!"
He continued to explain: "If it were an ordinary medium-sized spiritual spring, Bernoulli would have invited the Arcane Master to come over and hunt the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon. Now he has not invited him, but instead created the illusion of arguing with the Arcane Master, just to cover up
,Afraid of being discovered by the Arcane Master."
Duke nodded and followed Keithon's train of thought: "If it is a large spring, a city will definitely be built. I am afraid that it will not be able to become the fiefdom of the Bernoulli family. Is he worried about this?"
"No!" Christian suddenly sneered, "Look at him, I'm afraid he wants to daydream, use the large spiritual spring to break through the 4th and 5th ring, and be on an equal footing with me!"
Speaking.
Christian immediately raised his glass: "Come on, little Duke, I want to toast you. You have made a great contribution this time. If you hadn't met the Ocean of Insects... this old guy would have succeeded in stealing the chicken from the Black Jiao River."
Isn’t the earth occupied by doves and magpie’s nests!”
After clinking glasses with Duke, Christian downed the drink and said, "Your contribution is huge, so feel free to ask for any benefits you want!"
Although Duke does not fully understand the importance of the large spiritual spring.
But this did not prevent him from understanding that he had been lucky, so he thought of something and decided to seize this opportunity: "Sir, if possible, I want the ancient spirit in the spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley, a three-dimensional
The ancient spirit of the leafworm."
"You actually knew that there were ancient spirits in that spring, and that they were trilobites?" Christian was surprised, "Your teacher didn't even know that, oh, Penrose told you?"
"No, my mentor never told me. I learned about it from an elf."
"Elf?"
"Chicken, come out and meet us." Duke patted his belly.
Then a big green tadpole swam out. I didn’t understand the situation, so I first saw Kylia next to me.
Suddenly he grinned and shouted: "Oh Duke, isn't this the big bobby girl you have been longing for?"
Snap!
Duke slapped the chicken on the table, and then explained with a smile: "I'm sorry, the chicken grew up in an ant pile and lacked a little tutoring."
Kiriya's eyes lit up, and she was attracted by the chick's beautiful appearance. She didn't notice who the chick called Big Bo Niu.
Looking at the chick intently.
The chicken was photographed on the table. It had a connection with Duke and knew that it had been a little rash just now. Although it had a bad mouth, it was not a fool and knew what to say on any occasion.
So I just lay down on the table and pretended to be dead.
On the other side, after the chick came out, Christian looked at the chick with a smile. He didn't care at all about who the chick called Ponniu and who was obsessed with Ponniu. Instead, he marveled at Duke.
Good luck.
It is said that the relics of a senior arcane mage were obtained from the forest and a powerful arcane weapon was mastered in advance.
Then I took a look at the secret vine of the Union Tower and understood the guardian secret vine.
I went to Well No. 3 in Cuihai Valley and realized the vision once I went down into the well. I accidentally bumped into the Ocean of Insects before and realized the vision again...
Only now do I know that he picked up an elf a long time ago.
"Tell me, little Duke, are you related to that trilobite ancient spirit?" Christian couldn't help but ask.
"What?" Duke wondered.
"Were you also born in the spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley?"
Duke then realized that Christian was joking, and replied: "When you say that, I also doubt that my birth may be unusual."
"You kid is really good at hitting snakes and following them on a stick, but spiritual blessings are so strong on you. Cherish this favor, kid!"
"I know."
"I also have an elf like this at home, but it's just a docile caterpillar. Later I'll ask Gina to bring the caterpillar over to meet your... little chicken, right? Let's get to know the chicken.
Maybe we can serve as a reference for each other in terms of evolution."
"My chick was delivered to my doorstep by a burrowing army ant queen." Duke recounted what happened at that time.
"Insects also have feelings and justice, but you said you got the news about trilobites from the chickens. Why is that?"
"Before humans discovered Cuihai Valley, the ancient spirit must have discovered that a group of ants had raised an elf, so he often came to the ant nest, taught the chick some knowledge, and even claimed to be the chick's grandmother.
”
"That's it." Christian nodded.
Then he pondered for a while and said: "The original ownership of the ancient spirit has been determined to be held by Stephen Yihu. His mage tower lacks a tower spirit."
Just when Duke thought there was no chance, Christian said again: "But you have made such a great contribution, and it is unjustifiable not to reward you. I will say hello to Stephen and ask him to give you the trilobite. When we break Bernoulli's
Trick, end the pioneering war, the trilobites are yours."
"Thank you, sir!" Duke was overjoyed.
The chicken who was pretending to be dead on the table immediately came back to life with full health: "Wow, Duke, we are going to rescue grandma, oooooooooo, I'm so touched!"
"Okay, don't embarrass me, be quiet, and go back to the sea of air." Duke patted the chicken.
With the help of Christian Raging Waves, not only did the chick get clean, but he also successfully caught the chick's grandmother, and he no longer had to worry about being robbed.
Kiriya suddenly said shyly: "Duke, can you let me hug the chicken? I have never seen an elf that looks like a tadpole."
Duke immediately glanced at the chick.
The chicken also opened its eyes wide and looked back at Duke.
In an instant, one person and one elf had exchanged countless thoughts, and then reached a unanimous agreement. Duke raised his head and handed the chicken over with a smile: "Let's hold it and play with it. The chicken likes to eat spiritual crystals. I haven't done that today."
There’s still time to feed it.”
"I'm going to ask housekeeper Gina to help me get the spiritual crystal!" Kiriya didn't pick up the chicken, but turned around and called housekeeper Gina.
It just so happens that Gina is going to hug the caterpillar elf, so she can bring the spirit crystal with her.
Returning to his seat, he took the chicken and put it in his arms.
The chick also obediently let her hold it, and would rub its head against Kiriya from time to time, acting very well-behaved and sensible.
Within a moment.
Gina came back with the elf from the Keystone Wizard Tower and carried it in a basket. Inside was a fat, snow-white caterpillar. Its whole body was made of jade. It didn't feel disgusting at all, but looked cute.
.
The caterpillar didn't seem to be able to fly. After seeing the chick, it immediately climbed to the edge of the basket and looked at the chick curiously.
No opening or closing of the mouth was seen.
But a gentle little girl's voice came: "Hello, what's your name? Are you an elf too?"
"My name is Chicken, and I am the future Great Elf, no, the future Elf King!" The Chicken swam out of Kylia's arms, came to the caterpillar, and circled around the caterpillar, "Little white insect,
What's your name again?"
"My name is Platycodon grandiflorum." The caterpillar replied.
"Platycodon? Your name is not as nice as mine, and you are not as good-looking as me, but it doesn't matter, just follow me from now on!" The chick swung its thick tail and made a pair of short and thick hind legs in the air.
The action of bending and pedaling is a sign of its excitement.
Letting the two elves play, Duke quickly finished his dinner.
Seeing that it was getting late, I said goodbye.
"Go back and keep the matter of the Ocean of Insects a secret, otherwise you may be targeted by Bernoulli and you may get into trouble." Kisson warned.
"Thank you, sir, for reminding me. I will keep it a secret."
"Well, little Kilia, you go and see little Duke off. Grandpa is tired."
"Okay, grandpa."
Kiriya sent Duke up the spiritual ladder and went all the way down to the first floor of the Mage Tower: "If you put the chicken into the sea of qi, will it be boring?"
"I don't have time to play with it," Duke said.
"Then it must be boring."
"If you have free time, you can go to my office, I'll call out the chicken, and you can play with it for a while?"
"That's...ok." Kilia nodded with a smile.
Duke raised his eyebrows and had already reached the gate of the Mage Tower. The driver of his shuttle had already parked at the gate.
"Okay, no need to send it off again, I'm going back first."
"Okay, slow down on the road."
Waving their hands, the two said goodbye, and the shuttle quietly followed the main road and disappeared around the corner.
The lights are bright, and the Keystone Wizard Tower and Castle are all replaced with strong lighting. Every night, it seems that the entire mountain is lit up.
Kiriya stood at the gate and watched the shuttle disappear before turning around and walking back.
As if he thought of something funny, the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up, and his youthful and beautiful face shone brightly under the street lights.
……
Since having dinner at the Keystone Wizard Tower, Duke feels that the relationship between Kylia and himself has obviously improved a lot.
Occasionally, when Kiriya gets tired from practicing, she will go to his office and play with chicks for a while.
Don't tell me yet.
Chicken is a big green-skinned tadpole with a bad mouth. He plays tricks when there is nothing wrong, but he is very popular with girls. Not to mention the little assistant Mulali, who begs to play with Chicken every day. Even Kiriya can't forget it every day.
Give it spiritual crystals.
"It saved me a fortune in feeding expenses." Duke looked at this indifferently.
I don’t feel that our relationship has improved by leaps and bounds just because Kiriya came to the office a few times. We will continue to do whatever we need to do.
Concentrate on your studies and work.
During the day, I was busy with card making and research on topics in the tower. After work, I returned to the Suktara Master Tower on time. After dinner, I followed the teacher to learn alchemy.
Time flies so fast, a few days pass by in a blink of an eye.
With the work of the financial team, after the handover between Duke, Clarinda, and Xibidi, Duke, with the support of his teachers, successfully purchased 1% of the shares of Xibidi Ling Mining Company, and became a leader in Shenjiao City
The arcane mage's small circle.
"Xibi Di pays dividends once a year, and the dividend of 1% of the shares can be distributed to about 70,000 gold dragons." The financial director reported to Duke.
In other words, Xibi Di can dig more than seven million golden dragons every year by digging spiritual mines.
The Giant of Light is now relying on strong light technology, and its valuation is rising steadily. It is already three million in size, but it is not as much as the money made by Xibiti from mining in half a year.
"Very good." Duke nodded, "Although the handover of shares has been completed, the work of your financial team cannot stop. You must supervise my industry. In addition, you must also hand over the work with Youshi Clothing Company.
."
Youshi Clothing Company was one of his three previous affiliated companies, the remaining two being Shenjiao City Hotel and the Giant of Light Spirit Weapon Company.
Now, in order to acquire the shares of Xibit Ling Mining Company, he sold the shares of Youshi Clothing Company.
In fact, Upears and Mulus have no intention of running Youshi Clothing Company anymore. The dividends from Giant of Light's 2% shares in the next year will far exceed Youshi Clothing Company's income.
Duke has talked with Yupiers and hopes that he can serve in the Giant of Light.
Eupils has been interested and is now considering it.
"Sir, please rest assured, my team members and I are taking over your properties one by one and helping you calculate every income and expenditure."
"Very good."
Duke is very satisfied with this. Although it costs a lot to maintain a financial team, his industry is getting bigger and bigger, and he must have professionals to help him manage it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Besides, there is a contract, which can save him a lot of worries.
Don’t worry about the finance team stealing from you.
After sending away the financial director, he went to work in Master Penrose Tower. Not long after he entered the office, the leader of his research team came to report to him on the progress of the project and had completed all the experimental contents he planned. p>
The team leader is his accustomed spiritual apprentice, Dras, the old man from the Mage Tower.
Respectfully submit a data report: "Sir, please take a look."
"Yes, go find Mulali and she will arrange your rewards." After Duke got the test report, he immediately gave it to Xiaoyi to calculate.
Then he asked Xiaoyi to help him write an excellent paper.
He then typed the paper onto paper using a typewriter.
The paper that smelled of ink was stapled with a stapler. Duke shook his latest paper in a good mood, got up and walked to his advisor's office.
It has been almost two years since he came to Master Penrose Tower. Since last year, he has steadily begun to produce papers on various topics.
"Mentor." Duke entered the office.
Instructor Penrose is on vacation in the Union Tower today and has been staying in the Mage Tower all day to handle research tasks: "Why are you here?"
"I'll hand in the thesis." Duke handed the paper over.
"Did you really finish writing the paper so quickly?" Penrose was surprised. "I visited the Mage Tower yesterday morning and saw your research team doing experiments. Why did it happen so quickly? Don't fool around with the paper.
Papers are more important than experiments."
"How could that be?" Duke smiled without distinguishing anything.
Penrose opened the paper and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the deeper his frown became. It was not that the paper was not well written.
On the contrary.
The paper written by Xiaoyi, on the basis of solid data and clear organization, has greatly polished the text effect, so that the content of the paper is no longer a dry display of data, but is both interesting and gorgeous, as beautiful as prose.<
/p>
You can also add some fashionable academic jokes from time to time.
Not only does it not feel boring at all when reading, but it also makes people smile occasionally in a comfortable and natural state.
This is naturally attributed to Duke's continuous reading of a large number of excellent papers in recent years, which allowed Xiaoyi to expand the database, extract the essence of excellent papers, and greatly strengthen his writing skills.
As a 9-ring level arcane weapon, Xiaoyi is showing its expected style bit by bit.
"Hiss!" Penrose unknowingly finished reading the paper of more than 12,000 words, and then involuntarily took a breath of air.
Not to mention the value of the content of this paper, the writing alone was enough to shock him.
Even though he had been writing papers for decades, and he had spent so much time improving his writing skills, he still could not have written such a smooth and beautiful paper.
"Supervisor, how is my thesis?" Duke asked.
Penrose put down the paper, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "It's not bad. I'll revise some sentences a little and publish them in "Runwu City Lingka"... Speaking of which, you have already published in "Runwu City" this year.
"Lingka" has published two papers."
"Yes, three articles were published in "Runwu City Lingka" last year, and two articles were published in the first half of this year. If this article is approved, it will be the sixth article." Duke replied.
Even though he is busy with the lighting battle and studying alchemy with Suktara, in fact, his card-making skills have not fallen behind at all.
Although the projects in the tower did not deliberately pursue speed, they were successfully completed one after another.
Of course, most topics are not as sharp as his invention of portable lamps and bright light technology, and can only be regarded as solid basic work. As a newcomer in the field of card making, he can only complete this kind of coolie-type research topic.
.
For more advanced ones, not only the ability is not enough, but also the key points cannot be grasped.
"Work hard." Penrose sighed with emotion, and then added, "Also, you must concentrate on studying alchemy and don't let your teacher down."
"I understand." Duke nodded.
Instructor Penrose is a very kind person and doesn’t mind his distraction in the field of alchemy, and even supports him in succeeding Suktala’s class.
Immediately holding the paper, Duke left the instructor's office.
Hearing the sound of the office door closing, Penrose leaned back in his chair slumped, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "In the field of erudition and alchemy, I heard that I am still studying spiritual plants and spiritual insects. There are so many distractions.
Can’t it hold you back in the field of card production?”
Then he thought sadly: "If this momentum continues, in a few years, I'm afraid I'll be able to get the title of card maker scholar!"
