The Suktara Master Pagoda did not become deserted during the Chinese New Year, and there were still many researchers who chose to work overtime.
Today is different from the past.
In addition to making a trip to the Wizard of Kirston Tower to visit Keyston Fury, and then visiting Erwin in the Wizard Tower of Erwin, Duke has been staying in the Wizard Tower of Suktara, waiting.
Others come to visit.
He ranked sixth in the Five Towers Conference, which means that there are only five people with higher status than him.
"With the new year and the new atmosphere, it's time to deal with the affairs that have been put on hold for a long time." As soon as the New Year passed, Christian Fury held a meeting of the Five Towers.
After receiving the notice, Duke took the shuttle and rushed to the Union Tower.
As soon as you enter the interior of the Union Tower, you feel a friendly spirituality surrounding you. It is the spirituality of the 3-ring tree king - the Mysterious Vine.
Being able to understand the vine of protection and mystery means gaining the approval of this tree king.
After establishing breath resonance with the Tree King, Duke felt that everything in the entire Union Tower was clearly presented.
Then Xiaoyi projects it onto the Dou Qi holographic screen.
The picture is so subtle that it is like perspective. Except for the inability to outline the details and colors, most of the outlines can be highlighted.
"Your Excellency Duke."
"Your Excellency Williams."
In the stairwell, Duke met Williams, the chief director of the observation tower.
This old man believes in health preservation and rarely appears in public. He likes to stay in his mage tower and study various potions. It is said that he alone sponsored ten mercenary groups to help him collect resources in various regions.
.
After saying hello, the two entered the conference room together.
Before Christian Fury arrived, Duke found the spot where his nameplate was, sat down, followed Williams' example, and closed his eyes to rest.
A quarter of an hour later, all nine members of the Five Towers Meeting arrived.
Christian sat at the top and coughed slightly: "I have called you here for a meeting today. The theme of the meeting is only one, which is to conquer the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon and fight for Lannick, Biers, and Zhe who were killed in Shenjiao City in the past.
Take revenge on the three arcane mages."
After hearing this, Bernoulli interrupted directly: "Lord Keithon, does this still need to be discussed? I have reached an agreement with the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon Clan. The Black Jade Scorpion Clan will never invade our Black Jiaohe River land again in the future.
, so why bother!”
"This is not an unnecessary move. This is the ardent expectation of everyone in the Black Dragon River. We must not let the spiritual beast that killed the arcane mage continue to be free!" Stephen Yihu immediately choked, "I think there is no need to discuss it further.
Now, let’s conquer the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon!”
"Conquering the Black Jade Scorpion clan will inevitably cause casualties. It is unwise to do so!" Bernoulli scolded Stephen Wing Tiger, then turned to look at Christian, "Sir, why are there obviously better choices?
Do you want to insist on making the worst decision?"
Seeing that Christian was acting like he was watching a show again, Bernoulli couldn't help but look at Erwin: "Your Excellency Erwin, do you also support this decision?"
Erwin sighed: "Intellectually, I don't want to cause more casualties, but emotionally I have to avenge the hatred of Rannick and others, Mr. Bernoulli."
"Emotions, if an arcane mage can't even control his emotions, how can he persist in himself on the path of spiritual arcane magic!" Bernoulli shouted loudly, "And I have already given enough compensation to the families of Lannick's three people. This
Isn’t it enough?”
Jovis Lynx said calmly: "Your Excellency Bernoulli, the arcane mage's life can only be repaid with the blood of spiritual beasts!"
"I see your brain is full of mush!" Bernoulli stared.
In order to conquer the Black Jade Horseshoe Clan, he almost sent all the members of the Five Towers Conference and paid a lot of benefits.
However, when it came time to actually make a decision, I realized that no one was on my side.
At this moment, he suddenly realized and looked at Keyston coldly: "Sir Keystone, is this the unity of the Black Dragon River Land that you once said?"
"How do you say that?" Christian asked in surprise.
"The arcane mages in the Black Flood River land have gathered together to exclude me, an outsider, haven't they?" Bernoulli said coldly, "We humans have tamed spiritual beasts and controlled spiritual insects. This has been the case since ancient times. Why is it here?"
Do I have to kill the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon here?"
"You want to know the reason?" Christian said calmly, "Then I will tell you, Bernoulli, I agree with what you said about humans taming spiritual beasts and spiritual insects."
"Since you agree, why reject my proposal?"
"The reason is very simple. You have not tamed the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon." Christian held the tea cup, took a sip of water, and then continued, "You just reached a simple contract with the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon. It was an equal contract. It not only humiliated
The majesty of the arcane mage is even worse..."
Christian's tone became more and more serious: "Let the Black Jade Scorpions blend into human society. Once they lose control, the consequences will be disastrous."
"How could it be out of control? Given time, the Black Jade Scorpion clan will definitely be assimilated by us!" Bernoulli blushed and retorted loudly.
But Christian said coldly: "You don't have a foolproof guarantee. It's almost impossible to tame the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon with your methods, so I won't accompany you to take risks. Emotionally, the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon must pay with his life, and rationally
Up, it’s still going to die!”
There was a pause.
Christian stared at Bernoulli and said word by word: "Only a dead dragon is a good dragon!"
After saying that, he ignored Bernoulli's reaction and placed the tea cup heavily on the table: "Now, let's vote by a show of hands whether to conquer the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon."
Williams and others raised their hands without hesitation.
Duke, who had been watching the show for a while, also raised his hand. The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon was already a sub-dragon. It was impossible for such a spiritual beast to be tamed.
Bernoulli looked around at the show of hands and slumped down in his chair.
After a long time, Keystone announced calmly: "Eight votes are in favor and one vote is against. I declare that we will start hunting the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon immediately!"
Stephen Yihu chuckled and looked at Bernoulli: "Your Excellency Bernoulli, the resolution has been passed. You have to take care of yourself and don't stand on the wrong side. This matter concerns all the arcane mages in the Black Dragon River, you and your family.
Be sure to choose carefully.”
The expression on Bernoulli's face changed again and again.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and responded: "I support hunting the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon and will never reveal any information to the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, but you have to promise me that the body of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab will be left to me for disposal.
I want your bloodline!"
Hear the words.
Christian smiled: "You need to start a family, and of course you give priority to the bloodline of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon. Now that we have agreed, Bernoulli, go to Runwu City with me and ask Lord Loren Sankagome,
Come and take a walk in Cuihai Valley."
"Okay!" Bernoulli nodded in agreement.
The meeting ended here and everyone dispersed.
"Loren Sankagome, can you deal with the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon?" Duke asked on the way as he left with Erwin.
"Sir Loren is a 7th-level Morning Star Arcane Mage. It's easy to deal with a mere dragon." Erwin said with a smile, "In fact, even if you don't invite Lord Loren, you can still kill the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab by inviting a few 6th-level Sky Arcane Mage."
Dragon, it’s just safer to ask Lord Loren to take action.”
"Can you take one with me when you kill?"
"You also want to participate in dragon hunting. I'm afraid Lord Christian will not allow it. You are only a second-level arcane mage now. It is too dangerous to hunt dragons."
"Well, if I take Lord Loren's battleship, it should be safe, right?" Duke asked again.
"If Lord Loren is willing to carry you, of course it will be safe. Even if a group of dragons attack Lord Loren's battleship, you will be safe."
The Federation of Seven Towers is the country of arcane mages.
Although there is no 9th-level Sunlight Arcane Master, the 7th-level Morning Star Arcane Master and the 8th-level Glowing Moon Arcane Master are enough to cope with all dangers.
Returning to Suktara Master Tower, Duke continued to study and research while waiting for the dragon hunt with peace of mind.
When I have nothing to do, I go to DreamWorks Pictures and enjoy the newly released musical phantom drama at several newly opened phantom opera houses in Shenjiao City.
In addition to "The River Flows", there are many recorded tracks.
As a new form of entertainment, the Phantom Opera House opened later this year, which really attracted many audiences and received very positive reviews.
"Duke, the company's management reported to me that they plan to start a new round of financing. They plan to use this financing to open the Phantom Opera House in all cities in the wind field. At that time, they will focus on musical phantom dramas and seize the market first."
Kiria and Duke took a walk together after dinner.
"Well, you can make your own decisions about business matters." Duke doesn't care about making money. What he values is the promotion of film and television technology.
The spirituality has begun to slowly feed back, helping his spiritual core to rapidly evolve into the second ring.
There are no shackles when you advance from level 1 to level 2, from level 2 to level 3. As long as your knowledge of spiritual arcana can keep up, you can continue to improve.
so.
Once film and television technology is popularized, when it blooms everywhere and spirituality begins to feedback, Duke will naturally be promoted to the third level even if he does nothing.
"By the way, I heard from Grandpa Grandpa that you also want to join the dragon hunt?" Kiriya asked.
"Yes, to increase our knowledge and lay the foundation for spiritual arcane magic." Duke responded with a smile, "I guess Lord Christian also asked you to follow."
"Yes, Grandpa said that this is a rare opportunity and asked all arcane mages in our family to join him in hunting dragons. Will you come to take a ride on Grandpa's battleship then?" Kiriya asked expectantly, "We
You can watch it together.”
"Well, I plan to take Lord Loren's battleship. You can come with me then. It will be safer."
"Then... I'll go back and ask my grandpa."
"Um."
The dragon hunting plan was approved after the year, but we had to wait until spring in March to receive a reply from Loren Sankago and officially launch it.
Duke is too weak to be integrated into the complete plan.
It was only after Loren Sankagome's battleship arrived in Shenjiao City that he took Kiria with him to board the huge battleship named "Yangcao".
Loren Sangogo met with Duke in person.
This legendary figure in the field of wind and breath is much kinder than expected: "When you were canonized last year, I was not in the Holy City of Austrian Law. I have been patrolling outside. I was not able to meet the outstanding disciples of the field of wind and breath. It is a pity.
, now I finally get what I wanted.”
"It is also my regret that I was unable to visit you in person, Your Excellency." Duke responded.
"We have met now, haven't we?" Loren Sankagome had a gentle expression and a gentle tone, and then turned to look at Kiriya, "Is this the little girl of the Nutang family?"
"My name is Kilia Furious Waves, and my great-grandfather Christian Furious Waves, please let me say hello to you, sir!" Kylia responded respectfully.
"The little lion showed off to me before that he has an outstanding junior." Loren Sankagome nodded.
There was a great arcane mage accompanying him, who was Loren Sangome's assistant. He smiled and said: "Sir, Duke is the proud son of heaven, and Kiriya is the beloved daughter of heaven. You saw the Wind Breath Realm today.
The finest pair of young men."
Loren nodded and asked, "Duke, are you two a couple?"
Kylia looked at Duke.
Duke responded generously: "Yes, Kiliya is my girlfriend."
"Well, the little lion is really quick to strike." Loren said with a smile, stroking his beard, "The Nutao family has always been excellent in marriage choices."
The battleship Fangcao set off from Shenjiao City and soon reunited with the battleship Bibo and a group of airships from Shenjiao City, flying to Cuihai Valley in a mighty manner.
During the journey, Loren Sangome kept chatting with Duke and Kiria, like an old man with nothing to do.
There is basically no concern about the upcoming dragon hunting operation.
All communication and cooperation are handed over to his assistant, the Great Ao Mage, to communicate with Christiansen Furious Waves and others.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The Fangcao, hidden in the clouds, finally received the signal and quickly swooped down from the clouds. Cuihai Valley was below.
"Sir, the battlefield has been locked. Bernoulli has introduced the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab into the battlefield encirclement. It's your turn to take action." Assistant Mage Ou interrupted Loren Sankagome's leisure.
Loren stood up from the chair. He was not tall, had a big belly, and was chubby like an old rich man: "Are you finally going to take action? I haven't hunted a dragon for many years. I really miss it... Pontiac, you
Take good care of the two children."
Assistant Pontiac responded: "Yes, sir."
Then he turned around and smiled at Duke and Kilia: "Don't you want to watch the dragon hunting? Follow me and go to the battle cabin to watch."
"Thank you!" Duke pulled Kylia and followed him.
There are many battle cabins in the battleship. Duke and Kilia each chose a battle cabin at the bow of the ship to watch the battle.
Seeing that Duke was already in position, Pontiac said: "I'm going to cooperate with you in the battle. If you have any needs, just call Mr. Hugo. Mr. Hugo is the fighting spirit of the Herb. If Mr. Hugo can't handle it, it will
Will inform me."
"OK."
At this time, the Fangcao had dived over the Cuihai Valley. Through the glass of the combat cabin, Duke could clearly see a group of Black Jade Scorpions being besieged by the airships from the Black Dragon River.
Most of the Black Jade Scorpions are at level 5 or 6, and they fled in panic under the attack of the airship.
Among them were several 7-level Black Jade Scorpion Kings who dared to launch counterattacks at the airship, but they were all dodged by the airship's flexible maneuvers.
It can't be avoided, and there are arcane defenses to resist it.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a huge scorpion-like monster emerged from the bare ground. It was the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon that Duke had seen before.
9 Ring Yalong.
The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon has entered a furious state, dodging arcane attacks in mid-air while rushing towards the Cockroach in Bernoulli's Wizard Tower.
Apparently, it believed that Bernoulli had betrayed and deceived it.
The Cicada did not dare to fight head-on with the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon and quickly escaped. Bernoulli had even used the Ring of Projection, turning into a huge arcane mage shadow. He held the whip of thunder in his hand and kept beating the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon.
Protect the Cockroach's retreat.
"Roar!"
The black jade horseshoe crab made a huge roar.
Almost all the hidden spiritual insects in the entire Cuihai Valley were awakened by it, appeared on the battlefield, and launched a full-scale attack on all airships.
The Black Jade Scorpion clan is even more crazy.
However, before the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon could show off its cruelty, for a moment, everyone felt something in their hearts and raised their heads to look at the sky.
Even the spiritual insects in the valley are no exception.
At some point, a bright star suddenly lit up in the cloudy sky, and even the clouds could not block its light.
The light cast by this star is like a cylinder, covering the entire battlefield.
The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon sensed the danger immediately, quickly gave up its pursuit of the Cockroach, and then sprinted in the direction of the smaller airship.
When he sprinted to the edge of the cylinder's light, he seemed to hit a wall and was bounced away.
It didn't believe in evil, so it continued to hit the edge of the light, and then was bounced back. Only then did it realize that it had been blocked.
He looked up and glanced at the stars in the sky.
The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon rushed towards an airship like crazy, and then a few spiritual lights suddenly appeared right in front of it.
next moment.
The spiritual light turned into a huge ice thorn, directly stabbing the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon. The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon twisted its body crazily, and then swung its long knife-like pair of pincers to crush the ice thorn.
Don't wait to escape.
The spiritual light emerged from another direction, turning into sharp thunder, piercing the back armor of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, and causing half of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon's body to become numb with electric shock.
The following process can be called an arcane feast, with continuous explosions in front of and behind the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon. The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon was so disoriented that it couldn't escape or dodge.
He can only twist his body but cannot rage.
"Tsk tsk!"
Duke looked at the scene below and exclaimed in his heart: "Is this the method of the Morning Star Arcane Master? Arcane magic appears like a ghost!"
There is no figure of Loren Sankago on the battlefield, but it seems to be everywhere. The powerful arcane spell can be released at will. There is no doubt that only Loren Sankago can have such a method, which belongs to the arcane teacher.
means.
Moreover, the stars above the head are like a cover, covering the battlefield so that the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon has nowhere to escape.
Boom boom boom!
Rounds of arcane focus fire.
Even Duke took out the Sand Eagle, switched to armor-piercing bullets, and used tracking bullets, and kept shooting at the wounds on the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon. Although he felt that the power was still too small to cause much damage, he still shot dozens of shots in a row.
Secondary magazine.
It's rare to participate in the dragon hunting operation, how can I not get an assist?
And you can also personally feel how powerful a sub-dragon like the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon is in defense.
"It's a pity that the development of Sand Eagle 2.0 has not been completed. Now the effective damage of bullets is limited to spiritual beasts of level 5 and below. Even if you shoot the wound of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, it will not expand the damage much." Dozens more magazines were emptied, Duke
Panted.
The more powerful the Sand Eagle is, the higher the consumption of his own psychic energy. Shooting more than a hundred bullet magazines in a row will put some strain on his body.
Suddenly.
On both sides of the violent black jade horseshoe dragon's body, two huge hands condensed, somewhat similar to the 1st level arcane spell - the hands of the mage.
But these two hands seemed to be real hands, directly grabbing the two long knife-like pliers of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon.
Fix the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon.
Then, in front of the black jade horseshoe dragon, the shadow of an arcane mage condensed, and the shadow's hands condensed colorful arcane light.
And continuously push the arcane light forward.
The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon seemed to have a strong sense of crisis, so it chose to use its magical power to turn itself into an obsidian-like sculpture.
Boom.
Colorful arcane light bloomed, like a laser cannon, hitting the obsidian sculpture.
With a click, the obsidian sculpture was punched through on the spot and then shattered into pieces, leaving behind a black jade horseshoe dragon that was one size smaller.
The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon is already dying.
But those big hands still firmly grasped its two long knives and large pliers, making it a luxury to even struggle.
Next.
The arcane mage grabbed the shadow into the void, and a chisel made of thunder and lightning was immediately formed, and he struck the black jade horseshoe dragon with a casual blow.
"hiss……"
The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon looked up to the sky and roared. It stopped suddenly in the middle of its roar, and its originally dark body was completely charred.
Smoke curled out of the mouthparts.
died.
The powerful 9-ring dragon was killed in an understatement. The Fangcao battleship hovered in the air, and the star that blocked the battlefield slowly dissipated.
The arcane mage's shadow disappeared, and his two big hands also disappeared.
The Periplane quickly rushed into the air, intercepted the falling body of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab, and then quickly approached the Fangcao battleship.
Bernoulli personally stepped out of the airship, used arcane magic, and dragged the body of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab into the battleship Herbaceous Grass.
Then he found Loren Sankagome, who had left the combat cabin, and bowed: "Sir Loren, please work hard again to help me refine the bloodline of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon."
Loren Sankagome nodded calmly: "This is the meaning of the title."
Immediately heading to the body of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, Duke and Kiria quickly followed to watch how Loren Sankago refined the sub-dragon blood.
Loren took out a tube of injection and injected it into the body of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon.
After a while, the body of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon was like a firefly, with little bits of fluorescence lighting up in different parts.
Pontiac's assistant handed over a new syringe, and Loren quickly inserted the syringe into the fluorescent part, and then drew out the blood bit by bit. After drawing twenty or thirty tubes of blood, he ended the examination of the body of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab.
processing process.
"Next, I will take the blood back. In about ten days, you can come to Runwu City to receive the blood fusion agent." Loren Sankagome said.
Bernoulli bowed and responded: "Thank you, sir, I will hold a banquet in Shenjiao City..."
"No need, time is limited, I will go back to process the blood first." Loren Sangome said, and began to see off the guests, "You can go back, and take Duke and Kiria back as well. The Herbaceous Grass will not stop.
, return directly to Runwu City."
Bernoulli nodded in agreement, and then looked at Duke and Kylia.
Kiriya was lucky and had been standing silently beside him, but Duke was already squatting on the ground, studying the broken body of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon.
"Your Excellency Duke, it's time to go." Bernoulli said quickly.
Duke then stood up and left reluctantly. It was rare to see Yalong's corpse, and he wanted to stay a little longer to collect data on the corpse.
Unfortunately, Loren Sankago was busy with his return trip, so he was too embarrassed to stay away.
I could only thank Loren Sankagome again, then follow Bernoulli to leave, first returning to the Cockroach airship. I didn't have much friendship with Bernoulli, so I took the shuttle to the Aibo battleship.
After having a good fight, Christian Fury saw Duke and asked with a smile: "How about it? Did you see anything from watching the excitement?"
"The power of the Arcane Master is hard to resist!" Duke exclaimed in admiration.
"Yes, the wild jungle is full of dragons. Without the protection of arcane teachers, how could we humans occupy so many spiritual places."
Sitting on the sofa, Duke chatted with Christian: "Sir, what is that star?"
"That's the Star Cage of the Morning Star Arcane Master." Christian explained. "Ordinary Arcane Masters study arcane magic, Great Arcana Masters study projection, and Arcane Masters study fields. Morning Star Arcane Masters can activate the power of the stars and build the Star Cage.
, Hui Yue’s arcane instructor can also activate the power of the moon to create a holy place under the moon.”
Kylia asked curiously: "If someone is promoted to the 9th ring, wouldn't it be possible to activate the power of the sun?"
"There is such a corollary, but who can cross the limit barrier of the 8th ring and explore the magical mysteries of the 9th ring." Christian shook his head.
Duke wanted to say: "I can."
But in line with the principle of keeping a low profile, he did not say it out loud.
I continued to inquire about the details on the battlefield, and gained a comprehensive understanding of the combat methods of the Morning Star Arcane Master, which gained me a lot of insights.
Although the Fangcao battleship has left, the dragon-hunting battle is not over yet, and there is still finishing work to be carried out. The airship brigade headed by the Bibo continues to attack the surrounding areas, killing the remaining individuals of the Black Jade Scorpion clan, and completely clearing them out.
Green Sea Valley.
Duke stood in front of the porthole, looking at the small lake in the center of Cuihai Valley.
The Black Jade Limulus Dragon was hunted and the spiritual spring was completely exposed to human hands. Then, it was time to rescue Xiaochi's grandma.
