Airships follow a route, and battleships follow a straight line.
The Blue battleship can fly much higher than ordinary airships, but it will not enter the clouds casually.
The clouds are filled with mist, which may interfere with the direction of the battleship.
Duke was sitting on a comfortable leather sofa chair. The translucent lookout window in front allowed him to overlook every land and mountains the battleship passed.
High mountains, rivers, rainforests, green grasslands, blue lakes...
The warships flying in a straight line passed through uninhabited primitive jungle areas, retaining the most spectacular scenery.
Just one area of wind and breath covers all the geographical scenery.
Duke was dazzled along the way.
"Mu Lali, go and ask the service desk. Hasn't the boundary of the Wind Breathing Domain been revealed yet?" Duke casually ordered.
"Okay, sir." Mulali left with light steps.
During this trip to the Holy City of Offa, Duke brought quite a few people with him, not for ostentation, but simply to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Mulali, Mulashan, and Vivian are the three people around her who are indispensable; Levin is responsible for taking care of Little Kabuto; Aunt Virginie, the cook, is responsible for cooking to prevent Duke from being accustomed to the food of Offa Holy City; An
Two attendants, Andre and Victor, are responsible for running errands.
There are also two legal staff who are responsible for handling emergencies; two financial staff who can act at any time if Duke has an idea; four male and female servants who serve tea, pour water, clean, do laundry and other chores.
There is also a team of escort knights.
The captain is no longer Vivian, but the second-level fantasy beast knight-Herdos, who is also the patrol knight captain of Suktara Mage Tower.
This is what Suktara gave to Duke.
Although the Holy City of Offa is the holy city of the Seven Towers Federation, it may not be free from sudden crises. Bringing Heldos with you can at least share some of the threats for Duke.
A few minutes later.
Mulali came back with a middle-aged man: "Sir, this is the travel guide at the service desk, Knight Dunn."
"I've met Lord Duke." Dunn bowed.
"You're welcome, Dunn, please take a seat." Duke's attitude was gentle, "You should have been to many places with the battleship Blue. I need you to explain to me. Where are we now?"
"Mr. Duke, please take a look at this map first." Dunn spread a map on the table.
This is a global map of the Seven Towers Federation.
The map looks rough, or crude.
But it is actually very detailed. However, the human cities and market towns above are too rare, resulting in too few signs on the map.
After all, the Seven Towers Federation is vast and sparsely populated. Its area is probably larger than the entire earth's land combined, but its population is only a billion. Along the distribution of spiritual springs, there are scattered scattered in the jungle.
"Lord Duke, our current location is approximately here, the Black Sore Hills." Dunn pointed to the map and said.
Then he motioned to Duke to look down through the porthole: "These rolling hills are the Black Sore Hills. To the south, there is a faint black spot, which is the gravel city in the cave area."
The rock cave area is one of the eight areas under the jurisdiction of the Wind Breathing Area.
"When you fly out of the Black Sore Hills, do you leave the Wind Breath Realm?" Duke asked, looking at the map.
"Yes."
"I'm very curious. Why is this lush green hill called the Black Sore Hills?"
Dunn replied: "Mr. Duke, you will know in a moment, please wait a moment."
As the battleship continued to move forward, a dark area suddenly appeared in the undulating primitive jungle of the Black Sore Hills, as if it was formed by fire.
And.
There are more and more such dark areas, like abscesses, growing deep in the primitive jungle.
"What's going on with these black areas?" Duke asked curiously.
"It is said to be related to ancient evil things, but I don't know the more specific situation. Perhaps Lord Duke, you can ask our Lord." Dunn shook his head. He is just a great knight, not Bai Xiaosheng.<
/p>
"Okay." Duke stood up directly.
These dark areas are dotted on the black sore hills. For some reason, Duke always feels a little evil.
So he simply got up and asked Siskoli.
As the owner of the battleship, Siskoli did not enjoy the whole trip, but transferred part of his laboratory to the battleship.
This way you can fly and study at the same time.
When Duke walked to the entrance of the laboratory, there were no knights guarding the place except the service staff.
Duke cleared his throat.
At this time, a huge dragonfly outlined by fluorescence suddenly appeared on the closed laboratory door.
As the wings flap, a little bit of starlight falls.
There is no doubt that this is an ancient spirit. Duke smiled and said: "Sir Darth, I'm looking for Lord Siskoli."
The big dragonfly's compound eyes came close to Duke, looked at it for a long time, and then responded: "Siscoli, please come in... But I can also answer your question. They are scars on the earth, left by the gods eating the earth.
Scar!"
As the battle spirit of the Blue Battleship, Darth Dragonfly knows every move in most areas on the battleship.
Duke's question to Dunn was naturally no exception.
"Scar on the Earth? Abomination?" Duke wanted to ask again, but the door to the laboratory was already open, so he went to find Siskoli first.
Siskoli has put away the experiment: "Dass said you have questions for me to ask?"
As a sixth-level sky arcane mage, Siskoli's level is currently beyond Duke's reach.
But compared to the research on spiritual arcana, Duke is far ahead of him.
Because Siskoli only has two scholar titles and no sage titles - sages must make great contributions to spiritual arcana. Many arcanists have a profound understanding of spiritual arcana, but it is difficult for them to make breakthroughs.
innovation.
Everyone has their own strengths, so Duke is not weak in front of Siskoli.
The demeanor is neither humble nor arrogant.
"I have some doubts. The Black Sore Hills we are flying over now are said to be related to ancient evil beings. I would like to know if this is the case."
"Yes." Siskoli did not deny, "You are about to be awarded the title of Sage, and you are qualified to know more. In fact, these ancient evils are collectively called divine evils, and they are the opposite of spirituality."<
/p>
"The opposite of spirituality?" Duke wondered.
Siskoli explained in detail: "The god of evil feeds on spirituality, and especially likes to swallow spiritual springs. When it swallows the spiritual springs, it will leave scars on the earth like the Black Sore Hills, which are only in our wind realm.
, dozens of scars on the ground were found."
"There is a forbidden area in the Cuihai Valley in our Black Dragon River land. The shed shell of an ancient evil object has been found. So, this is also a divine evil. The place where it was found is located under a spiritual mine. Is that considered a scar on the earth?"<
/p>
"I led the team to deal with that place in Cuihai Valley."
Siskoli shook his head and laughed, and then said: "That shell is indeed left by the evil god, but it is just a shell shed by the young evil god. It has not been able to swallow the spring of spirituality, so it is not a scar on the earth, at most.
It’s a scar.”
Then Siskoli further explained: "Scars are wounds on the surface of the earth, which are harmless; scars go deep into the earth. If the spring of spirituality emits spirituality, then the scar emits evil nature, and even arcane mages will be affected.
”
"Why not deal with this scar on the earth?" Duke asked.
"It's not easy to deal with it. After the divine evil devoured the spring of spirituality, it merged with the earth. Not to mention that I can't handle it. Even if the arcane master came over, I would still be helpless." Siskoli shook his head and said, "I can only let it go.
It exudes evil nature and is enclosed as a forbidden area."
"So, there are countless forbidden areas within the Seven Towers Federation?"
"Yes, and these earth scars are different. In the early years, many arcane mages mistakenly entered them and became fallen demons... It is said that the earth scars contain the secret of promotion to the ninth level. Many arcane teachers, even in the scars,
Build the mage tower and study it in depth."
"9 rings..." Duke blinked.
He has the existence of Jiuhuan Xiaoyi, and he will survive to the ninth ring sooner or later. He probably does not need to enter the scar of the earth to do research.
After asking for clear information about Scar on the Earth, Duke no longer disturbed Siskoli and left.
Return to your guest cabin and continue to overlook the land where the battleship flies over.
"Now that the battleship has flown out of the Black Sore Hills, we should have entered the Lanyun Domain. However, the Canglan adopts a direct flight mode and will not pass through the cities in the Lanyun Domain." Knight Dunn explained.
Warships have a large amount of energy and material reserves, so they can fly all the way without stopping to replenish.
We flew for a long time.
Dunn said seriously: "Mr. Duke, the high mountain you are seeing now is called the Tianying Mountain Range. This mountain range stretches for thousands of kilometers, like a knife that cuts across the entire Lanyun Domain. It is also the most dangerous area." "Danger?" Duke was curious.
It has been three or four days since I flew here, and I haven’t seen any danger.
Basically, when the spiritual beasts flying in the sky see the huge size of the Blue battleship, they know the time and avoid it in advance.
There are no spiritual beasts that actively seek death.
"In the Sky Eagle Mountains, there are a large number of fifth-ring spirit beasts - golden-winged eagles, and some golden-winged eagles can break through the fifth level and evolve to the sixth level. They have a strong sense of territory and attack in groups."<
/p>
Dunn continued: "The routes in Lan Yun's domain will basically avoid the Sky Eagle Mountains. Ordinary airships cannot withstand the group attacks of golden-winged eagles."
Talking room.
The Canlan had already begun to climb upwards, rushing into the clouds several thousand meters above the ground, trying not to disturb the golden-winged eagles in the Sky Eagle Mountains.
However.
When we entered the Sky Eagle Mountain Range, we still saw several huge falcons flying from the cliffs at the top of the mountain range, then charging towards the clouds and flying around the Blue in the blink of an eye, chirping non-stop.
"Buzz buzz!"
An alarm sounded inside the battleship, signaling all passengers and crew to hurry up and get into their fixed seats.
Knight Dunn stood up and excused himself: "Sir Duke, I'm going to the fighting post."
"I'll go with you. Just arrange a battle cabin for me. I want to test the strength of these golden-winged eagles." Duke stood up without hesitation and followed Dunn towards the battle cabin of the battleship. p>
Since the development of Sand Eagle 1.6-Continuous Edition, he has only hunted a few times in the forest near the castle.
I haven’t encountered a powerful spiritual beast to test the true power of the sand eagle.
When he entered the battle cabin, the transparent glass allowed him to clearly see the golden-winged eagles wandering around the battleship.
Each one has a black body and golden wings. It chirps strangely while condensing arcane magic under its wings.
It is a metallic arcana, mutated from earth elements.
Like long metal knives, they slashed towards the battleship, crackling the shell of the Blue battleship.
At the same time, the battle cabin of the Blue battleship also released countless long-range fighting spirit martial arts attacks, which were released by the escorting knights. However, compared with the 5-level golden-winged eagle, this attack is really not impressive.
However, as a huge pale hand appeared on the side of the battleship, a golden-winged eagle that was so arrogant that it wanted to bite the hull of the battleship was directly grabbed by the pale hand, and then crushed into a ball of minced meat.
"It is a 4-level arcane spell - Pale Hand, which is composed of the hands of the mage. It is the standard configuration of the great arcane mage."
Level 4 is a watershed. Level 1, 2, and 3 arcane spells below level 4 are all independent single arcana spells with unique spell models; arcane spells at levels 4, 5, and 6 are basically composite arcana spells.
Spells are composed of single arcane spell models nested inside each other.
The Pale Hand is the spell model of the mage's hand, which is stacked and nested continuously to form a big hand that covers the sky and the sun.
"Lord Siskoli took action." Duke nodded slightly.
Just when he was about to take action himself, a pair of dragonfly compound eyes suddenly appeared on a pillar of the combat cabin.
It was Battleship Zhanlingdas: "You can't participate in a battle of this scale, the 2nd-level arcane mage Duke."
There is no doubt that Duke was despised.
However, he was not irritated, and just smiled lightly and said: "It's still a little higher than the output of the great knights, right."
"Great Knight?" Zhan Lingdas said in a mocking tone, "They are only qualified to clean the battlefield and salvage the bodies killed by Siskoli and me."
"Can you fight too?" Duke discovers a blind spot.
Zhan Lingdas snorted coldly: "The Blue Number is me, I am the Blue Number, and I am strong enough to crush any spiritual beast!"
Immediately, I felt that the entire Blue battleship was shaking, and then dozens of columnar protrusions appeared around the battleship.
Arcane patterns are clearly engraved on these protrusions.
The lines lit up together, and the next moment, countless flaming spears rose around the battleship, as if they were shot out from columnar protrusions, blooming all over the sky, hitting an unknown number of golden-winged eagles and killing them on the spot.
"It is a 4-level arcane spell - Extreme Flame Spear, which is composed of a 2-level arcane spell - Fire Dragon Diamond and a 2-level arcane spell - Flame Spear."
Xiaoyi quickly responded with information.
Duke felt awe-inspiring. With such a ferocious attack power, it is no wonder that the Blue battleship dared to cross the Tianying Mountains.
"How is it?" Zhan Lingdas's whole head protruded from the pillar, "The battlefield does not require the weak to take action. You are just a second-level arcane scholar, not even an arcanist. Go back to sleep."<
/p>
The ancient spirit has an eccentric personality, and War Spirit Darth seems to like to despise Duke.
Of course.
This level of contempt has no impact on Duke.
He just smiled lightly: "I can't sleep, come here and play. Mr. Das, don't stare at me all the time. Just stare at the golden-winged eagles outside. Look, a large group of golden-winged eagles are flying from the mountains below." "I have thousands of clones, one of which is staring at you." Darth War Spirit remained unmoved.
Duke was unmoved.
A thought.
A white crystal arm condensed outside the battle cabin, with its five fingers spread out. It was the hand of the arcane weapon.
In the palm of the arcane hand, the Sand Eagle Pistol has materialized.
Through the glass shell of the combat cabin, Duke controlled the arcane hand with his mind, holding the sand eagle pistol, aiming at the golden-winged eagles flying randomly in the surrounding clouds.
"Disruption bullet!" Duke switches bullets with his mind.
Then Austrian hand pulled the trigger.
A squeaking sound.
A golden-winged eagle was shot and then staggered as if drunk.
"Armor-piercing bullet, tracking bullet!" Duke switched bullets again, and after pulling the trigger, an armor-piercing bullet shot out.
The movement of the golden-winged eagle has no trace.
The armor-piercing bullet was about to graze the edge of the Golden-winged Eagle. Suddenly, the bullet turned a corner and accurately penetrated the Golden-winged Eagle's eye.
The eyes have the weakest defense and are connected to the brain.
The golden-winged eagle, which was knocked unconscious by the interference bomb, had no intention of evading and was directly hit by the armor-piercing bullet.
Unable to maintain the flying posture any longer, he fell headfirst.
Halfway down, he was shot by a hooked bow and arrow, and then dragged into the Blue battleship.
"Yo." Darth War Spirit stared at Duke closely, and naturally saw Duke's operation, "You actually killed a golden-winged eagle, the 2nd level arcane scholar Duke, you made me sit up and take notice, but with the help of
The arcane weapon is just for showing off evil."
Duke chuckled: "You were a big dragonfly in ancient times. I think that when your body rots, the last thing left must be your mouth."
"What do you mean?"
"Because you have the toughest mouth in your body."
"This is a cold joke that is not funny." Darth War Spirit was not angry, but fell into nostalgia, "Let me think about it, I drowned in the spring of spirituality, and I saw the complete process of decay of my body.
."
Its tone was a little lonely: "First the belly rotted, then the internal organs in the head and chest rotted. At that time, my body only had a shell... Finally, even the shell melted and merged with the spring of spirituality." p>
Then he sighed heavily: "I just disappeared into thin air."
"But your spirit will last forever with the spring of spirituality. If your spirituality does not dry up, you will never die again."
"You don't understand." After Darth War Spirit finished speaking, he quickly got back into the pillar and disappeared.
"What don't I understand?" Duke asked, but Darth War Spirit did not appear again, so he had to focus on hunting the golden-winged eagle outside.
The power of Sand Eagle 1.6-continuous version is far beyond imagination.
Especially the combination of special effect bullets makes its hunting effect super strong, and it can easily hunt even 5-ring spirit beasts.
"The interference bomb is so effective!" Duke praised.
This elemental bullet has no lethality, so in terms of spiritual judgment, it is difficult to cause a defensive warning.
Wait until the spirit beast's warning is lifted, and then shoot with other bullets. The spirit beast will be hit 100% of the time.
But it’s not always the case.
For example, Duke shot a jamming bullet and hit a huge golden-winged eagle. The opponent just shook his head and returned to normal.
So the next armor-piercing bullet was combined with the tracking bullet to lock its eyes, but when it had no time to fire, it tilted its head. The armor-piercing bullet hit the feathers on the top of the golden-winged eagle's head, but it failed to penetrate even the feathers. p>
"Without the weak point attack, armor-piercing bullets almost lose their deterrent effect against high-level spiritual beasts."
Duke didn't believe in evil, so he simply switched to the burst mode and directly bombarded the head of the golden-winged eagle with more than a dozen jamming rounds.
The golden-winged eagle chirped and curled up, preparing to defend against attacks.
This leaves Duke with no way to start.
However, the next moment, a huge 4-level arcane spell - Pale Hand, directly grabbed the golden-winged eagle that might evolve to the 6-level level.
Pinch hard.
The golden-winged eagle was not crushed to pieces, but its bones were shattered, and it looked like it would not survive. It was also at the 6th level, and the strength of the arcane mage absolutely crushed the spiritual beasts - this is the gap in the understanding of spiritual arcana.
.
One relies on instinct to hunt, while the other masters the rules to hunt. It can be called a dimensionality reduction attack.
"The 6-ring Golden-winged Eagle is difficult to kill. I'd better choose the 5-ring Golden-winged Eagle to test the gun." Duke quickly accepted the reality.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In fact, Sand Eagle can hunt down five-ring spirit beasts, which has greatly surprised him.
Pfft!
Jammer bombs go first, followed by tracking bombs and armor-piercing bombs. After one set of procedures, if the 5-ring golden-winged eagle is not killed, Duke will make up another set of procedures.
Sometimes the undead golden-winged eagles are stimulated by pain, and interference bombs cannot interfere with them. Then Duke will switch to burst mode, and armor-piercing bullets will be combined with tracking bombs to highlight a saturation attack.
The 5-ring golden-winged eagle will eventually have to suffer at the muzzle of the sand eagle.
"Get another one, let's continue!" Duke already knew how to switch between bullets for sand eagles, and he focused on shooting small golden-winged eagles.
However, this hunting feast did not last long.
Under the double protection of Darth War Spirit and Siskoli, the Blue Blue passed through the Sky Eagle Mountains safely.
The golden-winged eagles, which had left behind a large number of corpses of their companions, watched the warships sail out of the territory's airspace. They no longer feared attacks and returned to their nests on the rock walls of the mountains with their chirps.
"Seven."
Duke dispersed the Austrian Hands and Sand Eagle and left the battle cabin with satisfaction.
In this short battle, he hunted seven 5-level golden-winged eagles alone. For a 2-level arcane mage, the results were brilliant.
Soon.
The flight attendants brought a golden-winged eagle feast, including barbecue, braised, and stewed... The chefs in the restaurant used eighteen kinds of cooking skills to make this golden-winged eagle feast.
.
"Well, the taste is just... not bad." Duke nodded after tasting it.
These ingredients are rich in spirituality, but the taste is not that outstanding, and the meat is even a little dry.
It’s not that the higher the level of the spirit beast, the more delicious it is.
In fact, the meat of most high-level spiritual beasts is too solid and not suitable for cooking and eating.
"You guys should eat some too." Duke called to Mulali, Mulashan and Vivian, "Sit down together. I don't follow these rules here."
Eat and drink enough.
Duke took the three of them into the guest room to chat.
The guest room has a special isolation layer that can block the prying eyes of the battleship spirit. Duke also uses breathing techniques to always pay attention to the movements of the Darth spirit to make sure that it cannot cross the isolation layer and spy on the guest room.
The ancient spirit is integrated with the battleship and mage tower, and can be accessed from anywhere.
Although they are not human beings, most people care about their own privacy, so many places on battleships and mage towers have special isolation layers.
Shield the perception of ancient spirits, allowing guests to rest at ease.
"Sir, let's play poker together." Mulali suggested with a blushing face, "I want to win back the money I lost last time."
Duke took out a box of cards: "Then it depends on your ability."
"I'm not afraid, but sir, you are not allowed to count cards. Once you count cards, no one can win against you."
"Don't worry, I don't count cards." Duke responded.
When playing cards with people around him, he wouldn't need Xiaoyi's assistance, otherwise it would be a bit too despicable.
It doesn’t make sense that you have to use super calculations to play cards!
The card game is fun and harmonious.
In happy days, time always flies by.
A flash.
After a week-long flight, we finally arrived at our destination, the Holy City of Offa.
It is a huge emerald-colored lake. On the water surface in the center of the lake, there are stretches of buildings, forming a majestic and spectacular city skyline.
Sky, water.
The real city and the imaginary city merge into one, as if two cities, one positive and one negative, are stuck together.
Eighteen snow-white long bridges extend continuously along the mirror-like water surface, like six endless silk threads, firmly fixing the city and preventing it from drifting around with the lake water.
Suddenly.
On the calm lake, a figure jumped out and then crashed into the lake.
Even if it has not yet landed, the battleship Canglan, which is still a thousand meters away from the lake, can still hear the sound of that figure.
Low and distant.
But full of loneliness, weeping and complaining.
"Ah, I heard the familiar whale song again." Siskoli appeared in front of the porthole at some unknown moment, sighing with a smile, "Whale Song Mirror Lake, this is the most magical lake in the wilderness continent!
”
Half is a lake and half is a spring.
Half of it is played by whale songs, and half of it is filled with spiritual steam.
