Whale Song Mirror Lake is the largest spiritual spring among the Seven Towers Federation and even among the eighteen human kingdoms in the entire Wilderness Continent.
This huge lake is named after Whale Song because there are real whales living in its lake.
Compared to the sea, Whale Song Mirror Lake is too small.
The reason why whales can survive here is because there is a top-level spiritual spring below this lake. The rich spirituality nourishes the lake above, allowing the small lake to maintain the top-level ecosystem.
"Two thousand years ago, the senior Arcane mages pioneered here and were quickly attracted by this lake. They believed that Arcana would prosper from here and moved the federal capital here. Two thousand years later, the Seven Towers Federation has indeed flourished.
There are already twelve realms."
Siskoli gave a brief introduction.
The system of the Seven Towers Federation is somewhat similar to that of Millennium. Each field, region and even market town has a high degree of autonomy, but the overall power is concentrated in the Holy City of Offa.
After all.
The seven highest towers of the Seven Towers Federation all stand in this lake city.
One of the tallest towers is located in the center of the city, towering into the clouds and reaching a height of at least three thousand meters to the naked eye.
As thin as a sharp spear, it pierces the sky.
"That is the Tower of Arcane. All human knowledge of spiritual arcana is gathered and sealed in this supreme tower. Everything can be found here. It contains all the knowledge of arcane civilization!" p>
Siskoli pointed to the tall tower that pierced the clouds in the Holy City of Arcane in the distance, and said happily: "There is an Arcane mage who has lived on this tower all his life and has never come down once. His knowledge cannot be studied in a lifetime.
Finished."
"Tsk, tsk." Duke was shocked.
But after all, he had watched too many science fiction movies in his previous life, and this extremely majestic holy city did not exceed his imagination.
He just asked: "Will my investiture ceremony be held at Offa Tower?"
"How is that possible!" Siskoli couldn't help but refute, "The title of sage is not enough to qualify for canonization in the Tower of Offa. Only the chief sage of the Tower of Offa can be canonized here."
But he quickly added: "In addition, the ceremony for being selected into the Temple of Heroes is also held here. Of course... most of the candidates are ancestors who have passed away many years ago. They have made indelible contributions to the spiritual arcana and the Seven Towers Federation.
Contribute."
"Well, I understand." Duke nodded.
I thought to myself, I don’t know when I will be qualified to become the chief sage of Offa Tower - this is basically the Seven Towers Federation version of "academician".
As for being selected into the Temple of Heroes, it is probably similar to the level of being admitted to the Man Mo Temple.
The battleship Canglan did not sail into Whale Song Mirror Lake, but landed at a flight station in a lakeside city to the southwest of Whale Song Mirror Lake.
"Blue Whale Bay City." Duke saw the name of this lakeside city on the sign of the flight station.
There are eighteen long white jade bridges outside the Holy City of Aofa.
Symbolizing the eighteen countries that human civilization has established, at the end of each long white jade bridge, there is a similar lakeside city.
After getting off the battleship, staff from the flight station came to greet them and register the purpose of the Blue battleship.
Upon learning that they were escorting the newly consecrated erudite sage Duke to attend the investiture ceremony, the staff immediately responded: "The directors of the Erudite Tower have sent a formal letter. After receiving the news of Duke's arrival, please wait a moment.
Wait, a special car will be sent to pick you up soon."
"Then let's wait here." Siskoli said.
The flight station immediately sent out a Swift Letter.
Here in Whale Song Mirror Lake, there lives a special 0-ring spirit beast - the Flying Arrow Swift, which is extremely fast and has an excellent memory.
So some animal taming scholars tamed the Arrow Swift to replace the postal owl in delivering letters around the Whale Song Mirror Lake. Basically, you can fly from the coastal city to the Holy City of Aufa in a few minutes, rain or shine, and deliver the letter accurately to its destination.
Land.
So I didn’t have to wait long at the flight station.
A fleet of large shuttles filed into the flight station and stopped in front of Duke and Siskoli.
"Who is the Duke Scholar and who is the Chief Director of Siskoli?" An arcane mage wearing arcane robes came down from the convoy.
Siskoli took a step forward: "I am Siskoli, and this person next to me is Duke."
"I have met Chief Director Siskoli. I am the welcome envoy of the Erudite Tower, Gerio White Dolphin." Master Ao said enthusiastically, and then looked at Duke again, his eyes lit up and said, "I have met Sage Duke, you
Same as the description, no, younger than the description."
"Hello, Your Excellency Gerio Baidu." Duke greeted reservedly.
Today is different from the past. After being awarded the title of Erudite Sage, his status has become equal to Master Da'ao, and he needs to respect his identity.
After finishing the polite greetings.
Gerio Baidu bowed slightly and invited: "You two, please follow me. Several directors of our Erudite Tower are already in the tower ready to welcome you."
A group of people got into the convoy of the Erudite Tower, quickly left the flight station, and flew along the long white jade bridge towards the Holy City of Offa.
The long white jade bridge is close to the lake.
Looking around, the sky is reflected like a mirror, and the water and sky are the same color.
Suddenly.
Another huge whale jumped out of the water, let out a resentful cry, and then crashed into the lake water, causing the calm lake surface to sparkle.
Gerlio said with a smile: "The big whale today is a little more restless than usual. Perhaps it is because he knows that Duke is here to congratulate you on your promotion to a learned sage. Your invention has greatly promoted the development of spiritual arcana. Whale Song
The overlord of Jinghu Lake is also here to cheer for you."
"What kind of whales are these?" Duke asked.
"It's the 7-ring spirit beast - the Mirror Lake Singing Whale, the only whale that lives in land lakes." Gelio explained with a smile, "They have been tamed, and they protect each other with the Holy City of Offa, and there are still whales in the group.
There is a king, a queen, and two dragons - Jinghu Cetiosaurus."
"It's so beautiful." Duke praised.
After enjoying a whale song, the shuttle fleet also entered the holy city of Offa, and the city skyline has turned into a forest of towers.
Looking up, I can only see the clouds but not the top of the tower.
The streets are orderly, with shuttles and cars coming and going freely, and there are also knights on horseback patrolling along the designated roads.
The base of Aofa Holy City is suspended on the water. In many places, there are scenic openings downwards, where you can see the water surface of Whale Song Mirror Lake. Many pedestrians will feed food inside when passing by the scenic openings.
There are fish jumping out of the water to grab them.
On both sides of the street, old trees dance.
I don’t know how much soil the base of the Holy City of Arcana carries, enough for these ancient trees to take root.
Flocks of birds roost in the shade of the trees, wild cats and dogs turn a blind eye to the pedestrians on the street, and all kinds of strange little beasts chase each other.
The harmonious coexistence between man and nature is reflected everywhere.
The people who clean the streets are not sanitation workers, but various puppets. Some puppets are responsible for sweeping the floor, some are responsible for pruning branches, some are responsible for sprinkling water, and some are responsible for collecting garbage from scenic spots, and so on.
.
The shops are dazzling and the customers are either rich or expensive.
Sitting on the shuttle passing by, Duke just felt like he had entered an international metropolis, with neon lights flashing and a sci-fi future at the same time.
The concentration of spiritual particles in the city, through the shuttle window, you can feel the drunkenness hitting your face, it is extremely rich. It is more spiritual than the three-ring tree king-mysterious vine in the Union Tower of Shenjiao City.
The aura is even stronger.
The shuttle carried everyone, galloping through the streets, and in a moment they came to a tower that towered into the clouds.
We took the special bus passage and stopped in front of the gate of the highest tower.
There was already a group of arcane mages wearing arcane robes waiting in front of the gate. After Duke and his entourage got off the bus, they immediately came forward to greet them.
The reporters waiting around raised their equipment, which looked like a camera, and took pictures of Duke and others, which looked like a press conference on Earth.
"Welcome the learned sage Duke and Chief Director Siskoli to the Erudite Tower in the Holy City of Offa." The leader is a balding middle-aged man. The Offa robe he wears is mainly decorated in blue. This is
Configuration of ordinary arcane mage.
But behind him, there was a group of arcane mages, wearing arcane robes mainly decorated with purple decorations. They were obviously all great arcane mages.
Gerio Baidu immediately introduced Duke: "This is the chief assistant to the director, Assistant Louis."
Duke smiled in response.
Gerio then introduced the next few great mages, three of whom are directors, and the others also hold positions such as directors in the Erudite Tower.
As for the chief director, he happened to be out today.
The directors and supervisors showed up, and after paying their respects, they returned to their posts. Only one director, Lambton, who was at the 6th ring level, was left, along with Assistant Louis and Grelio the welcome envoy, responsible for receiving Duke and Sis.
Kohli and his party.
First visit the Erudou Tower and then host the luncheon.
By the afternoon, Madron Rhodiola, the chief director of the Erudite Tower and a member of the Supreme Committee, the 7-ring Morning Star Arcane Instructor, arrived belatedly.
"You are here." Madron's face was serious and his tone was rigid, "Duke was awarded the title of Erudite Sage by the unanimous recommendation of the Supreme Committee. The conferment ceremony should not be taken lightly. In addition, Sir Thelsus said that it is best to have something new in the ceremony.
Lambton, you take full responsibility."
"Yes, Chief Director." Director Lambton nodded in response.
"Then the time will be selected in three days, leaving three days for you to prepare." Maderon quickly set the time, "Duke, Siskoli, you will cooperate in the past few days and strive to hold the awarding ceremony successfully as soon as possible."<
/p>
"Yes."
"Okay."
After Duke and Siskoli agreed, Madron said to Duke: "Your attainments and talents in natural history are recognized by the entire Supreme Committee. Chairman Cersus, I hope you can learn more in the Holy City."
I have been studying for a few years."
"Study further?" Duke did not agree immediately.
The water in the Holy City of Austrian Law is much deeper than the water in Whale Song Mirror Lake. He is not willing to set foot in it so early, as he will easily drown.
Madron didn't know what Duke was thinking, and didn't seem to care about what Duke thought. He said to himself: "When you finish your further studies, the Supreme Committee will expand a member position for you. You can serve in the Erudite Tower, or you can
Only serve as a committee member, academic freedom."
"Thank you and Chairman Selsus for your kindness, I need to think about it." Duke responded.
"Okay."
Not much to talk about.
As a mentor of arcane magic, Madron has a lot to deal with every day and will not focus all his energy on a new and learned sage like Duke.
After he left, Director Lambton and others talked with Duke and Siskoli about how to hold the investiture ceremony.
Assistant Lewis was the first to say: "The canonization of sages is a big deal. The seven highest towers all have the authority to canonize sages in different fields, and the conferment ceremonies are also different. In our Erudite Supreme Tower, it is usually combined with the achievements of the sages.
”
"In conjunction with achievement?" Duke asked.
"Yes, for example, Duke Sage, you invented strong light technology and film and television technology, then the awarding ceremony can be held around these two technologies."
After Lewis finished speaking, Director Lambton continued: "So my plan is to combine the awarding ceremony with film and television technology, which should not only reflect your invention, but also have new ideas... Let's brainstorm, Duke, you can also put forward ideas
."
Not only that, Director Lambton also summoned several young arcane mages in the tower to participate in the discussion.
In the end, Duke himself came up with an idea.
"Film and television technology shoots images from the past and then plays them in the present, so why can't it be combined with it to create a novel debut ceremony?"
"Oh, what do you think?"
"I thought I could use a camera to shoot different scenes first, and then combine these scenes into a slideshow. Then while playing the images, I, as the protagonist of the awarding ceremony, slowly walked out of these scenes." p>
The more Duke talked about it, the more he thought it was good: "At that time, we can create a dream scene that is both real and fake, so that everyone can see the effects of film and television technology."
"Well, that's a good idea!" Lambton agreed.
So this plan was chosen.
In the next three days, Duke had no time to visit the Holy City of Alfa, and spent all his time rehearsing the investiture ceremony.
In order to make his investiture ceremony go down in history, he even resorted to making movies.
Fortunately, Erudite Supreme Tower's mobilization ability is extremely strong, so he was able to capture his thoughts one by one in such a hurry.
……
Three days flew by.
April 22 is an ordinary day, but it is also a special day. Today, the Erudite Tower will hold a ceremony to confer the title of Erudite Sage to Duke.
Although there are many arcane mages with the title of sage in the Holy City of Arcana, each sage has made outstanding contributions to spiritual arcana, so the awarding ceremony must be treated grandly. For example, all arcane teachers will attend the awarding ceremony. For example, Duke’s investiture ceremony.
It has been confirmed that all the erudite sages who have settled in the Holy City of Offa and the surrounding eighteen lakeside cities will attend.
Among them are four arcane mentors.
In the entire Seven Towers Federation, the number of arcane instructors does not exceed fifty.
In addition to the arcane mentors who guard the twelve areas and the arcane mentors who explore outside, there are only twenty-one arcane mentors who have settled in the Holy City of Arcane. Four of them hold the title of Erudite Sage, and even one of them holds the title of Erudite Sage.
He was also selected as the chief sage of Offata.
The chief sage of the Tower of Offa, the title does not distinguish between fields, and belongs to the great arcanists who have reached the pinnacle of their respective fields of research.
It is also the pillar of the entire Seven Towers Federation.
"The adults are all seated!" Assistant Lewis hurriedly came to the backstage of the awarding ceremony, "It will start in ten minutes!"
Director Lambton nodded calmly: "Don't be impatient. Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. The playback equipment has also been backed up. There will be no mistakes."
Then he looked at Duke, who was resting his eyes with his eyes closed: "It seems that the protagonist is not nervous now, and even feels a little sleepy. Assistant Lewis, please inform the chief director. There will be no omissions and let him preside over the awarding ceremony normally." "Okay." Louis left in a hurry.
Duke raised his eyelids: "Sir, as long as there is no problem with the equipment, there won't be any problems on my side."
Xiaoyi will assist him in completing the entire process on the Douqi holographic screen.
So no mistakes will be made.
Lambton nodded: "Yeah."
The past few days of filming and rehearsals have also proved that Duke does not make mistakes, and he can do it 100% after listening to the basic process once.
At the same time.
The auditorium above the clouds has no windows, only pillars. White clouds can blow directly into this auditorium, which can accommodate thousands of people.
Looking outside, you can see the spiers of five other supreme towers on the clouds, as well as an arcane supreme tower whose top cannot be seen.
The auditorium is already filled with thousands of people.
In addition to the arcane instructors and arcane mages in the rostrum area, there are ordinary arcane mages and ordinary citizens in other positions.
Of course, a large number of reporters are indispensable.
If it were just a simple investiture ceremony for learned sages, it would not attract so many people to attend. After all, there are only two or three hundred sages in the Holy City of Arcane Law, not five hundred, so it is not worthy of being rare.
But if this new learned sage holds the three records of being the youngest 2nd level arcane mage, the fastest promoted to the 2nd level arcane mage, and the youngest erudite sage, then it would be extremely rare, everyone would
I want to take a look.
Madron Rhodiola, chief director of the Erudite Supreme Tower, walked to the stage.
There was no smile on his serious face, and his tone was flat: "Welcome to the Erudite Tower to confer the title of Erudite Sage on Duke, the inventor of film and television technology and bright light technology."
"In the past two years, Shenjiao City, a borderland of the Wind Breath Realm, has trained a young arcane mage Duke."
"The spirit is in favor of the world, and the arcane law is in favor of the wise."
"Duke, with his extraordinary wisdom, glimpsed the strong light technology from the luminous structure of the spirit wind lantern, and invented the film and television technology from the light and shadow images of the slide card. These two inventions of natural history have had a profound impact on the Seven Towers Federation and even the entire human civilization.
The development of the country will bring about earth-shaking changes."
"Therefore."
"After the unanimous recommendation of the Supreme Review Committee of the Erudite Tower, and the ruling of the Judgment Committee of the Supreme Tower of Austrian Law, Duke was officially canonized as an Erudite Sage."
The words fell to the ground.
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Waiting for the applause to subside, Madron continued to say calmly: "For this erudite sage conferment ceremony, Chairman Selsus of the Supreme Review Committee was invited to crown Duke the title of erudite sage. Chairman Selsus is invited to come to the stage.
Speech."
Madelong stepped aside, and an old man with white hair and beard came up from the rostrum. After standing still, he faced the audience.
"This year is the 4415th year of the Storm Calendar." Selsus' voice was loud and clear. "It has been five thousand years since humans landed on the Wilderness Continent. The Storm Empire of the ancestral land was established, and the Storm Calendar was just beginning. Then it was the 1127th year of the Storm Calendar, and seven
The Federation of Tajikistan was established."
"If you do the math, it has a history of 3,288 years."
"In the past 3288 years, countless arcane masters and ancestors have successively promoted the development of spiritual arcane magic, leading to today's glorious achievements."
After a pause, Selsus said loudly: "So today I am honored to award the title of Erudite Sage to an outstanding newcomer in the field of spiritual arcane magic. Duke, a young second-level arcane mage, a record-breaking
A learned sage, invite him to appear."
After Selsus finished speaking, amid applause, he retreated to the position with Madron.
The next moment.
Curtains were hung between the pillars around the entire auditorium, blocking the sunlight from outside and plunging the auditorium into darkness.
The audience in the audience couldn't help but burst into whispers.
But soon.
A ray of light lit up from the awarding platform, like a portal suddenly lighting up in the darkness. The portal gradually expanded until the entire auditorium was illuminated.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Everyone either closed their eyes or raised their hands to block the dazzling light.
When they opened their eyes again, the light had dissipated, and with a loud cry, the scene on the ordination stage changed into a simple house.
A young couple whose front cannot be seen is holding a crying baby, gently rocking it, and humming an unknown local ditty.
Snowflakes are falling outside the window, and singing is singing softly in the house.
"Little snowflakes, little snowflakes, accompany me to dreamland at night; small and white, cool, swaying happily to me. Crystal-like snowflakes, may you fly and grow freely forever. Little snowflakes, little snowflakes, always wish me good health." The baby stopped crying as he listened to his mother's singing, and showed a happy smile on his tearful face.
Then I slowly fell asleep.
Dad gently pulled out the memory card under the dim lighting.
The lights in the room were turned down, and the entire auditorium fell into darkness again. After a long time, a faint light came on.
It seemed like a dark night, with a little child huddled in the corner with his hands and knees.
When the camera zooms out, the sign of the Sheshou Town Welfare Home seems to blend into the dark night, with only a dim yellow lamp in the distance emitting this insignificant ray of light.
The dark night did not last long before it was replaced by the light of dawn.
Scene switching.
Wearing a blue jacket, brown casual pants, and a pair of black leather shoes, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old walked out of the entrance of a welfare home with a tool bag on his shoulder.
Facing the morning sun that has not yet risen, I walked into a shop with the sign "Little Sam Card Repair Shop" to work. I cleaned, wiped instruments, and prepared card materials. I was busy until the sunset, then I rubbed my arms and started again.
Put your tool bag on your back and leave the store.
When I returned to my home, it was no longer an orphanage, but a small and cramped bungalow.
Skillfully cook the rice and steam a piece of sausage.
The young man came to the partition of the room and was busy on a simple work table, studying a spiritual wind lamp.
The scene changed very quickly. While eating sausages and rice, the boy finally developed a portable lamp.
He turned on the button of his portable light and shined it outside. The next moment, the light shone into the auditorium of the auditorium.
Then the brightness of the light suddenly increased.
There was only light on the awarding stage, and no background could be seen. After a while, the light was no longer aimed at the auditorium, and the scene had completely changed.
Those are newspapers with bright lights.
The bright light on the newspaper seems to be real, very bright, and the text next to it is also highlighted: "Duke, son of the sun, turns night into day!"
"Dispelling the darkness of the world and illuminating the corners of the world, Duke was awarded the title of polymath."
"Duke, the Messenger of Light!"
"Duke, the inventor of bright light technology, is affectionately called the Giant of Light by the citizens."
"The Seven Towers of Federal Erudite will promote strong light technology, and the reputation of Duke, Son of the Sun, will spread throughout the twelve realms."
These are real newspapers that have been published, stacked one after another. Only the images on the newspapers are always a bright and powerful light.
Suddenly.
The newspaper faded away, and a hand reached out to turn the light.
The camera slowly opened, showing the young man just now, who was replacing the strong lighting for the Sheshou Town Welfare Home. Many children surrounded him, cheering.
At the same time, a voice sounded nearby: "The orphanage is as bright as daytime, and the children are cheering for joy. I think that from now on, the nights in the orphanage will never be so dark and scary again."
The phantom on the awarding stage has been played to this point, and all the audience in the audience have already understood the meaning of these constantly changing scenes.
"This is the growth history of Sage Duke!" an ordinary audience member sighed softly.
Some emotional women have already wiped away tears: "It was not easy for Duke Xian when he was a child. The life in the orphanage definitely frightened him."
"The genius arcane mage who came out of adversity made the invention that changed the world precisely because he wanted to change his bad life!"
"It's a very interesting investiture ceremony, isn't it?"
"This is directly using film and television technology to pave the way for the opening. I have already felt the charm of film and television technology. This award ceremony is so interesting!"
Not only ordinary viewers were shocked by this unique entrance ceremony.
Even the arcane instructors and great arcane mages sitting on the rostrum couldn't help but approach each other and whisper in their ears.
"Very interesting."
"But what's more interesting is that Duke has actually appeared, hasn't he."
"Yes." An arcane instructor squinted his eyes, with a smile on his face, "He has walked out of the light and shadow a long time ago."
