For nearly two days, the airship flew zigzag along the route between cities without stopping for a moment.
Eating, drinking, and defecation are all done in the air.
During this period, some flying spiritual beasts came to peek, and the knights and card warriors on the airship killed the spiritual beasts without Duke's intervention.
Then several arcane mages tasted fresh spiritual beast barbecue.
"We're here, sir, I've already seen Runwu City!" Mulali was lying on the porthole, looking at the faint city skyline in the distance.
The most conspicuous ones are several mage towers standing on the hills.
One of the mage towers is no less magnificent than the Christian Mage Tower, and it is also a mage tower in the shape of twin towers.
The castles are connected together, with two mage towers standing there.
This kind of twin-star mage tower shows that this family currently has at least two arcane mages of level 4 and above, otherwise there is no need to build two mage towers.
"Two arcane mages of level 4 and above, these are probably the Xiaoyu family." Duke stood up, walked to the porthole, and looked ahead.
When I chatted with Cowley and others before, I also got some general information about Runwu City.
The Wind Breathing Domain has eight regions under its jurisdiction, and each region has a central city, such as Shenjiao City in the Black River.
The central city of the Red Sea region is Runwu City. At the same time, Runwu City is also the central city of the entire wind breath field. It is built on the edge of a spiritual river - the spiritual river, which is the top spiritual spring, flowing like a river.
Flow outside.
A large spiritual spring that can nourish millions of people.
Then the river of spirituality can nourish at least tens of millions of people.
So far, the Seven Towers Federation has only discovered twelve spiritual rivers within its territory, so it has only divided them into twelve realms.
In fact, with the strength of the Seven Towers Federation Arcane Mage, he can explore a wider area of the wilderness forest and find more spiritual rivers.
However, there are too few people and too much land to manage.
Even within the current twelve areas, there are still huge virgin forests that breed countless spiritual beasts and need to be cleared regularly. Once the clearing is not done in time, a beast tide may break out at any time, posing a huge threat to nearby cities and towns.
Population has always been the main factor restricting the development of the Seven Towers Federation.
What restricts the development of population is the spiritual spring. Without the spiritual spring to cultivate arcane mages, even if the population increases greatly, the vast forest cannot be controlled.
"Therefore, the Seven Towers Federation plans to pass the results of the spiritual arcana step by step through the Erudite Tower and sink them to the people. I am afraid that this is to allow the people to master some of the arcane power and gain the power to arm themselves."
Only when the people have the ability to protect themselves and ordinary people can participate in guarding the territory can the arcane mages be freed to continue expeditions and pioneering.
Duke's thoughts were a little distracted for a while.
"Runwu City is really big, it feels several times bigger than Shenjiao City." Mu Lashan also came over, and together with Mu Lali, they exclaimed at the destination.
Duke is also a little excited, this city is really shocking.
The population of Runwu City is at least 10 to 20 million, and the mage towers and castles around the city alone are probably home to several million people.
Towering mage towers reaching into the clouds, and castles stretching into mountains.
Like a satellite, it guards the grand city on the rolling hills in front, with tall buildings stretching in groups, streets extending in all directions, and occasionally dotted with similarly towering tower-shaped buildings.
Especially the central area seems to have become a forest of tall towers.
These towers are lined up in rows and are airtight. Duke suspects that arcane mages or high knights can even jump from one tower to another.
Vivian was standing in front of another porthole. Suddenly, she exclaimed: "Sir, look up at the sky. You can see the floating city in the gaps in the clouds!"
"Floating city?" Duke's eyes lit up.
Then he raised his head and stared at the city above Runwu City, and sure enough, he vaguely saw a huge gray building between a few floating white clouds.
You can't see the whole thing clearly, but you can feel its immensity and hugeness, which gives people a strong visual impact.
"It's Kagome Kagome's floating castle!"
Duke said softly, his tone full of exclamation.
But Vivian could hear that there was a hint of fanaticism in Duke's exclamation, the kind of fanaticism that "can replace him."
"Sir, can you tell me about San Kagome's Floating City? I've heard of this floating city since I was a child, but I don't know much about it," Murali said.
Duke nodded.
While it would take some time for the airship to arrive at the station, he talked about some information he knew about San Kagome's floating city.
Kagome is a strange plant.
Generally, it grows in mountainous areas where there are gold, silver, copper, and iron mines. The more desolate the place, the better San Kagome grows.
If Reishikhan Kagome is discovered, it means that there must be mineral deposits underground.
At the same time, the spiritual plant Kagome Sanya can make a potion of the same name. This potion can help spiritual beasts break through their shackles. It is a favorite potion among knights. Unfortunately, Sankagome is rare, and Sankagome potions are even less common.
Monopolized by the big nobles.
The owner of this floating city named after Sankagome is Loren Sankagome.
In the entire Wind Breath Realm, there is only one Arcane Mage Mentor - 7-ring Morning Star Arcane Mage Mentor, Puppet Sage, Formation Sage, Chief Executive of the Union Tower of Runwu City, Supervisor of the Seven Towers Federal Observation Tower in the Wind Breath Realm, Austrian Mage Master.
Fata is a non-voting member.
"Loren Sangovi, the arcane instructor, was born in a humble family. He is the youngest son of a 0-ring knight. His parents gave birth to him during their adventure..."
Who would have thought that this humble little family would eventually cultivate a towering arcane giant.
After Loren opened the spiritual sea, he quickly showed his outstanding talent. He was promoted to the arcane mage at the age of eighteen. After more than ten or twenty years, he was promoted step by step to the sixth-level sky arcane mage. Because he participated in many
Developed the war and was made an earl.
So he gave himself and his family the surname "Sankagome".
It is said that this is because his father once longed for a Sankagome potion to help his contract partners break through the first level and be promoted to the first level knight.
It's a pity that this wish was not fulfilled until the adventure failed and died.
"Later, Tutor Loren broke the shackles of fate and was promoted to the 7th Ring Morning Star Arcane Tutor. He built the Kagome floating city for himself and finally became a legend in the Wind Breath Domain and even the entire Seven Towers Federation." Duke.
sighed.
In the spiritual arcane system, the arcanist's practice system has nine levels.
Level 1 junior arcane mage, level 2 intermediate arcane mage, and level 3 advanced arcane mage. These three levels are collectively referred to as ordinary arcane mages.
The 4th-level Earth Arcane Mage, the 5th-level Ocean Arcane Mage, and the 6th-level Sky Arcane Mage are collectively referred to as the Great Arcana Mage.
The 7th-level Morning Star Arcane Instructor, the 8th-level Glowing Moon Arcane Instructor, and the 9th-level Sunlight Arcane Instructor. These three levels are collectively referred to as the Arcane Instructor.
But the entire human civilization, eighteen national governments.
There has not yet been a 9-ring Sunlight Arcane Master, but the 8-ring Radiant Moon Arcane Master is the limit for human beings to climb higher in the spiritual arcana.
"Our human exploration in the field of spiritual arcana has not touched the true core, but even if the 9th level is not reached, the 7th and 8th levels are still unimaginable heights for ordinary people. The practice of every arcane teacher,
It’s all about the fate of all mankind.”
Duke whispered the information about Sankagome's floating city, but an uncontrollable feeling of pride and ambition arose in his heart.
A sense of mission for who else would be better than me.
Others can still reach the height of 7th and 8th rings without the help of any golden fingers, but he has the nine-ring skill.
An accompanying arcane weapon that combines earth's artificial intelligence technology and the underlying logic of the wild world.
"My way of practice will definitely reach the 9th level, thereby enlightening and leading the spiritual arcana of the wild world to new heights!"
When he thought of this, Duke felt that his body wanted to tremble vaguely.
On earth, he is just a small boss who eats, drinks and has fun all day long and lives a hazy life. But here, he has the opportunity to become the leader of human civilization, the prophet of spiritual arcana, and the light of the entire wild world!
How magnificent!
"Xiaoyi, we can do it, right?"
"Yes, Master, we will definitely become the light of the wild world, illuminating the entire world with great power, so that everyone can bathe in your glory, Master."
As Duke's own hardware continues to improve, and the database continues to expand its knowledge, Xiaoyi's flattery skills become more and more adept.
In just a few sentences, Duke felt relaxed and happy.
"Sir." Murali's question interrupted Duke's lust, "Do we have a chance to visit Sankago floating city?"
After coming back to his senses, Duke's surging emotions quickly subsided.
When he turned back, his face had regained its calmness: "I'm afraid there is no chance. Loren Sangovi, the Offician instructor, spends at least half of the year working in the Officic Holy City, and he still has to find time for the remaining half.
While touring various parts of the Federation, I spent very little time actually living in the floating city."
There was a pause.
He continued: "And even if Master Loren is in the Floating City, we have no reason to visit him. There are too many people who want to visit him."
"That's such a pity." Mu Lashan sighed at the side.
Mulali directly snorted: "What a pity. When you reach the level of arcane master, you will be able to build a floating city. Maybe you will also build dungeons, crystal palaces, etc., and different mage towers!"<
/p>
The floating city is a type of mage tower. Compared with the mage tower on land, the floating city is made of special materials and is equivalent to an arcane weapon.
The underground city built underground and the Crystal Palace built in the water are all special mage towers similar to the floating city.
There are even some arcane instructors who simply combine their battleships with mage towers and transform them into flying fortresses that can go up to the sky and into the earth, and can do everything they want.
"You two are thinking too far." Duke rubbed the hair of the two girls.
Then he strode out of the luxurious cabin.
At this time, the airship has landed at the flight station on the outskirts of Runwu City. Cao Li, Dinjige, Aziguli and other Austrian mages have all disembarked from the airship, and Duke and his entourage have joined together.
"Is this Mr. Cowley?" A group of people came from the flight station, the leader of whom was wearing an arcane mage's robe.
"I am Cowley, who are you?"
"You can call me Taylor, Sir Cowley, distinguished scholars, I am the Scholar Tower of Runwu City, responsible for welcoming you."
"It turns out to be Mr. Taylor."
"Your Excellencies, please follow me on the shuttle. A large hotel has been prepared for you at the Erudite Tower." Taylor was responsible for receiving several arcane mages, and the Erudite Tower staff he brought over helped arrange Duke's stay.
Others’ entourage.
After a moment of chaos, everyone got into the shuttle fleet one after another.
Duke, Cowley and others were sitting in the same large shuttle, and Taylor arranged for service staff to bring water and tea, as well as a bunch of snacks.
Perhaps because he is used to reception work, Taylor's service is warm and thoughtful.
At the end, Taylor looked at Duke with a smile: "Your Excellency Duke, you are now the learning target of our 1st Ring Austrian Mage. The bright light technology you invented has made the night of our Runwu City a city that never sleeps like daytime. Too
It’s dreamy.”
"As luck would have it, I just punctured a layer of window paper." Duke responded with a smile.
At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a huge slideshow billboard on the street, with a beautiful woman dancing under the streetlight.
Next to the picture is the advertising slogan: "The giant of light illuminates the dreams of millions of families."
The slogan of the advertisement has been upgraded. It was originally to light up the way home for millions of people, but now it is to light up the dreams of millions of families. However, the advertising taste is still very vulgar, that is, to choose the most beautiful and sexy models to attract the attention of passers-by.<
/p>
Taylor noticed Duke's gaze.
He glanced at the advertisement that passed quickly outside the window and said with a smile: "The products of Giant of Light are in short supply, including our Erudite Tower. All lamps are purchased from Giant of Light. In the field of light sources, Duke, you are a well-deserved giant.
."
Duke chuckled and accepted the compliment.
However, it seemed that a slight cold snort came from not far away. You didn’t need to look at Duke to know that it must have come from Aziguli.
Along the way, he didn’t communicate a word to Aziguli.
Aziguli also turned a blind eye to him.
After Runwanjia took on most of the responsibility for selling shares in Clarinda, it eased its previous decline, but the interests of shareholders were not less damaged.
Moreover, after this battle, the Runwan family was in full decline, but the giant of light was like the rising sun, flexing its muscles.
Many shareholders have already had the idea of withdrawing from Runwanjia, and the danger of collapse has become clear. Aziguli, like Clarinda, has long been incompatible with Duke.
Not long after.
The shuttle arrived at the Erudite Tower in Runwu City.
Duke and others were arranged to stay in the Drizzle Hotel near the Erxue Tower. They had exclusive suites for arcane mages. There were spiritual spring water pipes that directly attracted spiritual energy, so that each suite maintained a full concentration of spiritual energy, allowing arcane mages to practice with peace of mind.
.
"Wow, sir, the suite here is so big!" Mulali exclaimed.
The Xiaoyu Hotel is a notch more luxurious than the Shenjiao City Hotel, which is natural considering that Runwu City is the central city.
Duke walked around the suite and then left the suite.
It is already nine o'clock in the morning, and the natural history meeting of Runwu City will be held in the Erxue Tower in an hour.
"Duke, are you ready?"
"It's all ready, Lord Cowley, shall we go to the Erudite Tower now?"
"Yeah."
Cowley led a group of seven scholars from Shenjiao City, and soon left the Drizzle Hotel and went to the Erudite Tower in Runwu City.
With special guidance, you can take the spiritual staircase directly to the academic hall on the top floor.
Cowley and others quickly greeted the arcane mages they were familiar with. Duke was a pure newcomer and did not recognize a foreign scholar.
He also doesn’t like forced social interaction.
Moreover, the scholars in the field are all very young, so there is a real generation gap in communication.
So I found a seat in the corner and sat down alone in the academic hall, silently waiting for the conference to begin.
Ten o'clock will arrive soon.
All the erudites found their seats and sat together in twos and threes, whispering.
"Ahem." It wasn't until several gray-haired arcane mages walked in and coughed softly that the scholars stopped chatting.
One of the scholars, who looked to be the oldest, walked up to the rostrum.
Scanning the whole place, he waited until the whole place was quiet enough to hear the sound of a pin falling to the ground, then he slowly spoke: "Very good, this year's Natural History Conference, people came quite neatly. As usual, I would like to introduce myself, I am the Erudite Tower of Runwu City.
Chief Director, Jefferson Rockbird."
Duke in the audience felt awe-inspiring.
Jefferson Rockbird, 6th-level Sky Arcane Mage - At the 6th level, the Arcane Mage can already fly physically.
"In this hot summer this year, I thought it was still the same old faces like you, but surprises are always everywhere, and a shining star breaks in."
Jefferson Rockbird said, suddenly scanning the academic hall: "Who is the new scholar who invented the bright light technology, Duke?"
As he spoke, he turned his attention to Duke sitting in the corner.
The other Arcane mages also turned their heads and looked in Duke's direction.
There was a spotlight salute at the beginning, which really surprised Duke, but he still stood up calmly and nodded to everyone around him.
"As expected, he has an overly young face. Come on, come on stage. I will give you the first academic report today."
Jefferson invited directly on the stage. After the invitation, he walked off the stage and sat in an empty seat in the first row of the academic hall.
"Um..."
This situation really made Duke stunned for a moment. He thought that Jefferson would have to talk for at least half an hour, and then other directors would come over to warm up the situation with a few words before inviting the scholars to the stage to give academic lectures. Who would have thought that Jefferson only said a few words before he resigned and stepped down.
"Sure enough, arcane mages who have lived for a long time are more...willful." Duke complained in his heart, but did not waste time.
He left his seat and strode onto the podium.
"It's a bit sudden." Duke faced the scholars in the audience, with a charming smile on his handsome face, "I was already ready to applaud in the audience, but I didn't expect to be invited by the chief director to be the first
Field academic report."
Clear your throat.
Duke continued: "When I was a child, I lived in the Welfare Institute of Sheshou Town, which was a border town. The kids loved playing, but I was the only one who liked to look up at the sky..."
It’s the same story as before.
"I always think a lot... When I grew up, I worked in a card repair shop... Why are the paste boxes so expensive?"
Too young, too few stories.
Especially before Duke traveled through time, the story of his predecessor was almost boring, so he could only mention the old things again and again.
"An awakening potion requires 23 silver dragons."
"These 23 silver dragons helped me light up a lamp, illuminating me and the world I live in. It turns out that it is not so ordinary!"
Duke didn't like to stand and speak, so he paced on the podium.
I looked behind me and found that there was just a wall behind me, and the slide card showed several background promotional pictures about this natural history conference.
This gave him the idea that maybe when he attends an academic conference next time, he can make a PPT slide so that the audience can be completely immersed in the light and shadow story he sketched - after all, just speaking by mouth will give a little sense of immersion.
Weaknesses.
"During my spiritual apprenticeship, I lived on a farm... I forgot to tell you that I was actually a second-level elf envoy. During the Cuihai Valley Development War, a lost elf came to my door. It told me that it saw
There is light here."
"Light!"
"Maybe I have an indissoluble bond with light."
"The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to look for light." Duke recited a poem, "I often think that maybe it was the dim night in the orphanage that gave me the idea to explore lights and try to master them myself.
Bright."
"I invented the portable light...and I invented the bright light technology."
"The newspapers praised me as the Son of the Sun, but who knew that the Son of the Sun was once just a child who was afraid of the dark."
Duke laughed confidently: "Just the night before yesterday, the airship flew over a market town. I looked down at the market town and saw that the streets had been replaced with strong street lights. I felt a sudden joy in my heart. I can't say that I brought it.
It’s bright, but I really increased the brightness.”
Having said this, he paused deliberately.
Bang bang.
Someone in the audience understood and gave Duke a round of applause. Immediately, a large amount of not very neat applause broke out in the academic hall.
Those who attended the natural history conference were all knowledgeable people, and there were more than a hundred people in total.
Duke has no fear, let alone being nervous and forgetting his lyrics, because Xiaoyi’s vindictive holographic screen prompted him throughout the whole process.
When the applause subsided, he continued to speak with a smile: "Natural History is an ancient science. Perhaps it did not arise not long ago in the Seven Towers Federation, but it is related to all aspects of human daily life, and it is also a driving force for
The cornerstone of social development."
"I believe that the development space of natural history is as broad as the sea, so even a newcomer like me can make a mark in natural history."
Duke shook the collar of his clothes and said: "I am actually also a card maker. When I was studying the slide card, I was thinking that the spiritual weapon Lingfeng Lamp was intercepted from the luminous structure in the slide card.
And invention, then, wouldn’t it be possible to shine brighter by adding a few more structures?”
Academic reports and speeches must ultimately return to the academic itself.
Duke clearly realized this, so the sensational motivational speech ended, followed by a further explanation of the bright light technology.
But in order to make the boring academic content more interesting.
Duke introduces the story of the light battle.
"The Giant of Light is constantly suppressed by the Runwan family. Although my family and friends firmly support me and I can start over even if I fail, I am always under great pressure. I don't want to disappoint them, nor do I want to disappoint myself."
"During those days, I couldn't intervene in the business competition, but every night I thought hard about how to defeat the enemy!"
"Finally, I thought of slide cards and the strong light technology of series light-emitting structures!"
"..."
"I think you all already know the final outcome." Duke looked at the scholars who were intrigued by his story.
And Aziguli, whose face is extremely expressionless.
He ended his academic report with ease: "As soon as the bright light technology came out, the bright lighting lamps swept the market. The Erudite Tower in the Holy City of Offa helped me promote the technology. The giant of light took over the entire trend in one fell swoop."
market in the field of information!”
"I won a great victory!"
"Light finally defeated darkness!"
Facing the audience, bowing slightly, Duke finally said: "The above is my academic report today, "The Orphans in the Orphanage Transformed into Light, Dispelling a Darkness in the Corner of Society - The Thoughts and Thoughts of the Invention of Strong Light Technology."
”
Wow.
The applause was very warm, and the scholars gave warm recognition to Duke, an excessively young scholar.
I bowed several times on stage, and when I returned to the audience, the applause still didn’t stop.
After Duke sat down, he was very satisfied with his speech and sighed in his heart: "Every era pays attention to packaging. After my speech, I am afraid that the title of Son of the Sun will be confirmed... I don't know when.
Go to the Holy City of Offa to give a speech!"
The speech is indeed a pleasure.
He now truly understands the feeling of those celebrities on the earth before time travel, giving speeches everywhere. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, this is the need for self-actualization.
"After a speech, my whole person seemed to be sublimated."
When another scholar came to the stage to give a report, Duke was still immersed in his own speech and couldn't extricate himself.
Even when he looked inside his spiritual sea, he could see that his spiritual core was shining brightly, as if it had been wiped clean.
Arcane mages need to constantly understand the spiritual arcana, and at the same time they also need to constantly affirm their self-understanding. Only by constantly thinking and thinking new can it last forever.
