The reputation of the Bernoulli Mage Tower in Shenjiao City has quickly fallen to the bottom as the insect tide invasion event continues to ferment.

All the newspapers are playing up this.

The reason for the invasion of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon is attributed to the reluctance of the Bernoulli land mage to face it head-on, and wants to drive the local mage, knights, and mercenaries to die for him.

Obviously, behind these newspapers, there are the handwritings of Keystone Nutao and others.

However, Bernoulli's reluctance to come to the front line of the war is indeed criticized, and he is the protagonist of the war.

The Pioneer War in the Green Sea Valley was an application submitted by Bernoulli himself to Offata.

"The local arcane mage in Shenjiao City is already disgusted with foreign arcane mages, and they came to the local area to launch a pioneering war, and even had a lot of complaints about the Black Snake family." Duke thought to himself, "If Bernoulli doesn't turn his reputation around, I'm afraid not many people will be willing to go after the establishment of Cuihai Town." ”

The blame in the newspapers is more of a warning to Bernoulli by Keystone and others.

If Bernoulli continues to cheat and play tricks, Shen Jiao City will definitely not cooperate with him and support him again, and continue to wage war against Cuihai Valley.

Duke finished reading the content of a page of "Daily Shenjiao City".

The door of the office finally opened, and Elwin Earth Mage, who had a relationship with each other before, personally sent another middle-aged mage out.

The middle-aged arcane mage passed by, smiled gently at Duke, and then entered the spirit ladder.

"Duke, come in and talk." Elwyn Earth Wizard, looking at Duke with a kind smile, turned to enter the office.

Duke followed.

"My lord, what are you looking for me?" Duke asked.

"I told you before that you have a talent for polymath, right, I remember you had an epiphany at the bottom of the No. 3 mine in the Green Sea Valley?" Erwin asked, remembering his meeting with Duke, "How many visions do you have now?" ”

"I'm ashamed that since that epiphany, I haven't gotten any more chances, so it's still nine visions."

The vision of the exclusive meditation method, if you want to have an epiphany, the opportunity is very important, even if you have a genius like Duke, it is difficult to have an epiphany often.

"Nine kinds are already very good, and they should be in the forefront of the 1 Ring Arcane Mage." Erwin said with a smile.

His assistant brought Duke coffee.

Duke politely thanked and responded, "Thanks to the accumulation of the spiritual apprenticeship stage, otherwise we wouldn't have achieved so many visions. ”

"Keep up the good work, you have just been promoted, the spirit favors you, and there is enough time to collide with chance." Erwin said perfunctorily, maybe he didn't think there was anything about the nine visions in his heart, "I heard from the people below, you have applied for a lot of patents recently?" ”

"Yes." Duke replied calmly.

When he was reading the newspaper outside, he thought about why Erwin was looking for him, only because the recent patent registration was too high-profile.

"So these patents, are they all your own ideas?" Erwin looked at the materials in his hand, "Portable lamp, miner's lamp, table lamp, searchlight...... You have improved the spirit wind lamp, which is indeed a good direction of improvement, and opened a new company? ”

"Uh, yes."

"It's very good, there are very few new mages who can do things like you, and you're still so young, a year younger than Kiria's girl, right...... Have you ever considered coming to work for me after graduating from Penrose Mage's Tower? ”

With such a red fruit solicitation, Duke was a little embarrassed: "I haven't thought about it so much for the time being, I just want to learn the card making technology well." ”

"That's right, but you have a talent in naturalism, don't let this talent down, you can think about it more."

Erwin then chatted with Duke for a while, and then said, "Okay, that's all for today, I'll go to the Union Tower for a meeting later." ”

"Then I'll take my leave."

Dizzy coming, dizzy leaving.

Duke was a little confused about what this Elwin Earth Arcane Mage was thinking, and he always felt like a solicitation, but it didn't quite match the identity of the other party's 4-ring arcane mage.

I couldn't think clearly, so I stopped thinking, "Whatever, I'll do what I'm going to do." ”

After Duke left, Erwin's secretary walked into the office and refilled Erwin's cup of water while persuading: "Grandpa, you are too abrupt to do this, Your Excellency Penrose is also a member of the Five Towers Council, you must respect it." ”

"What do you respect, I didn't rob students with him." Erwin snorted.

"But what's the difference between you saying so bluntly about letting Duke come and work under you, and robbing His Excellency Penrose's students, many arcane mages outside have expressed their dissatisfaction with your actions."

"Let them be dissatisfied, naturalism is the foundation of the long-term development of the Seven Towers Federation, how can a vulgar person understand my approach."

"You could have taken in a few more students."

"You know what." Erwin glanced at his great-grandson, "If the family is like yours, I think it is better not to start a pioneering war in the future, and sooner or later it will decline...... I really have to use the mage tower to rob the students before I attract suspicion, you know. ”

The secretary didn't know what to think, and suddenly sighed: "Actually, when the Black Snake family sent someone to contact us, you can take over the Grandpa, and the Cuihai Valley Pioneer War is our family." ”

"Hehe, and then, the black jade horseshoe crab dragon, you go hunting?"

"How can I, grandpa, you know a lot of people."

"What if you know a lot of people, do you see if Bernoulli can't sit still now, and he sent students to me for help, and he asked for help from Runwu City. Even if the hunt for the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon is really completed, Cuihai Valley will have to share half of the resources! ”

"Then you can still keep half of it......"

", rat-eyed boy, how did I give birth to you bastards, none of them can inherit my will!" Erwin slapped the table angrily, "Next time you talk nonsense to me, just go back to your hometown, don't follow me!" ”

……

"Sir, when will you come, Lady Kiriya? I really want to meet this lady of heaven soon. ”

The little assistant sat on the bench and said boringly.

Duke casually responded as he read the book, "Naturally, when it's time to come." ”

There was a little pantothenic acid in his heart, and he felt that the arcane mages in Shenjiao City were not as noble as they imagined, just a group of stinky feet.

At the age of sixteen, he was promoted to arcane mage, and at most he was called a genius arcane master.

No one has ever called him the pride of the sky.

Now that Kiriya Nutao was eighteen years old, she was promoted to arcane mage, but before she even showed up, a group of people outside touted her as the lady of the sky.

Put down the book.

Duke finished the coffee on the table and handed it to Mulali: "Go make another cup, I'm going to get to work." ”

His office occupies half a floor and houses private laboratories where various experiments can be carried out directly from the office.

The psychic magnetic wave capture experiment and the slide card superposition experiment are all carried out here.

However, there is no progress for the time being, and Duke has given up the illusion of immediate results and is ready to fight for a long time. Anyway, all the consumables can be allocated to his research group in the tower, and the Penrose Mage Tower will pay for his own experiments.

"Sir, here's your coffee." Mulali happily brought coffee.

"Happy?" Duke asked.

"Can you guess why I'm happy?" Mulali looked at Duke with an expectant expression on her pretty face.

Raised an eyebrow.

Duke raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and said indifferently, "Is it Kiria Futao, who has come to the Mage Tower to report?" ”

"Your Excellency, you are always so wise!" Mu Lali was impressed, "How did you guess, I didn't reveal the slightest hint?" ”

"You've been looking forward to Kiria, and now you look so happy, I don't need to guess to know."

"Vikas's assistant has come to inform her that they will have dinner at the castle tavern in the evening, and that Lady Kiria is welcome to join the family."

"I see."

"There's one more thing, sir, you must not have guessed." Mulali smiled secretly.

"What's the matter?" When Duke saw Mulali's cute appearance, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.

Not only did Mulali not dodge, but she looked at Duke with charming eyes, and said in a greasy voice: "Ms. Kiriya's office is arranged next door to us, and she is a neighbor of us." ”

"Speak well!" Duke patted Mulali on the head, "Don't pretend to be an adult. ”

"I've grown up, sir!"

"Huh."

"It's true, I'm sixteen years old, and when I was in my hometown, there were many marriages at the age of sixteen, sir, don't treat me like a child."

Duke knocked on Mu Lali's forehead: "Cultivate hard, don't think about the east and the west." ”

After sending away the little assistant, he collected himself and continued his experiments, and was busy until he got off work in the evening, and then went out the door.

When you arrive at the tavern, you find yourself the last to arrive.

"I'll wait for you, Duke, come, I'll introduce you." Guiding Vikas was the most sociable, and he turned to the big wavy blonde girl who stood up from the sofa chair and said, "This is the genius arcane mage, the genius card maker, Duke!" ”

Duke smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hello." ”

Kilia Fury turned around, and his first impression of Duke was that he had an elegant temperament and an innate aristocratic demeanor.

The facial features are beautiful and exquisite, the face is beautiful, and there is a trace of baby fat.

The wide Arcanist's robes concealed her figure, but through the undulations of her silhouette, it was still conceivable that she was tall and plump.

At the age of eighteen, she was promoted to the arcane mage, and her talent may not be worthy of the title of the lady of the sky, but with this temperament and famous family background, it does not seem abrupt at all to describe it as a lady of the sky.

"Hello, Duke, I've heard of you, the youngest arcane mage in Shenjiao City, and it's an honor to work with you." Kiriya's voice is very good, soft and with a hint of firm strength, which makes people feel good when they hear it.

She is at least 1.7 meters tall and wears a pair of high heels, which makes her look a little taller than Duke.

Duke is currently 1.8 meters tall, and I don't know if there is room to continue to grow taller.

When shaking hands, Duke felt that the other party's hand was soft, but he could tell that the other party shook hands with a lot of force.

"I am also honored to work with Ms. Kiriya."

The two smiled politely at each other.

"Come on, sit down, let's talk while eating and drinking." Vikas continued to enliven the atmosphere, "It is everyone's fate that Kiriya can come to our Penrose Mage Tower, as the first few steps in the spiritual arcane realm, we must help her more." ”

Drink and chat, and the atmosphere comes alive.

Duke was not very enthusiastic at the wine table, he was a bit of a bystander, looking at his former high-ranking colleagues, and shushing Kiria for warmth.

Until the end of the party, they separated.

"Sir, Lady Kiria is so beautiful, she is the most beautiful and elegant of all the ladies I have ever met."

The little assistant has been captivated by Kiria's demeanor, as if he has found an idol in life.

Beautiful, with a good family background, talented, and likable personality, this may be every woman's imaginary self.

"And she's so approachable, and she doesn't have a lot of arguments to talk to us."

"Yes." Duke looked out the window, noncommittal.

He is not stunned, the experience before and after the crossing makes him see very clearly, this kind of lady from a wealthy family may indeed be approachable on the surface, but the arrogance in her bones is absolutely rejecting people thousands of miles away, and affinity is just their external posture.

He recalled the modest conversation with Kiria in the tavern.

Pretty is of course pretty, about the most beautiful woman he has met since he crossed over, with blonde hair and big waves, beautiful facial features, baby fat, tall and plump figure.

Speak softly, but without a deliberately contrived taste.

Aesthetically speaking, it's all on his point.

But Duke clearly felt that the other party was not that stupid and sweet.

Although the brief exchange can't show the depth of the other party's thoughts, she can make everyone feel like a spring breeze and feel that she is an object that can be approached. It can be seen that Kiriya definitely has good communication skills.

"This is in line with the elite image cultivated by the old aristocracy."

Of course, there is no need to tell others about this, keep yourself sober and rational, don't be fooled by beauty, and just be impulsive.

Suddenly, he thought of the two great knight guards beside Kiria.

"It always feels like there's a familiar smell about them, like ...... It's like the breath of a phantom beast! Duke was shocked, he had felt this aura on Muhans Black Snake, "In other words, Kiria's guard is a Phantom Beast Knight!" ”

Two rare Phantom Beast Knights, acting as guards.

This made him secretly exclaim in his heart: "It's really a card that can only be played by old nobles, tsk, some people were born in Rome." ”

At this time, Kiria, who was born in Rome, also took the shuttle and returned to the Keystone Mage Tower.

The Keystone Mage Tower is the tallest building in the entire Shenjiao City, built on a hill on the northern outskirts of the city, towering into the sky, up to three or four hundred meters.

The frame made of spiritual gold throughout the body will not be shaken even if it encounters a ten-magnitude earthquake.

The area where the Mage Tower is located also has a magnificent castle, which envelops the entire low hill, as if it were a country of its own.

The largest aristocratic Nutao family in the Black Jiaohe Land lives here, and it has developed from the beginning of the establishment of Shenjiao City to the current situation.

"Miss Kiriya, you are back, and the master told you to come back and go over." The deputy butler in a tuxedo waited aside.

Kilia smiled and nodded: "Okay, Steward Ji'an, I'll change my clothes and go to Grandpa." ”

Changing out of the arcane mage's robe and putting on a floral skirt, Kiriya followed the Ji'an steward and took the exclusive spirit ladder and went straight to the top of the tower above the clouds.

Clouds wrap around the waist of the Keystone Mage's Tower, hiding the upper half.

Through the clouds, you can see the top of the tower, which is not a pointed point, but a large garden.

There is a small two-storey villa in the garden.

Ding dong.

At the end of the ladder, in a hut in front of the villa, Kiriya followed Steward Ji'an out of the hut.

In the flower bed at the entrance of the villa, the elderly gardener, who was trembling when he walked, took off his hat and saluted Kiria: "Miss Kiria, hello to you." ”

"Hello, Grandpa Jiping."

Entering the villa, an aunt who was mopping the floor at the door immediately smiled and saluted: "Miss Kiriya, the master is waiting for you." ”

"Thanks for reminding me, Steward Gina, I'll be over now." Kiria's gentle response.

All the housekeepers and servants in the garden on the top floor are very old, and they have accompanied the owner of the villa since they were young, and when the day comes when they can no longer do it, their children and grandchildren will take over and continue to serve the owner of the villa.

Generation after generation, after many births, old age, sickness and death.

Only the owner of this villa, Keystone Fury, still has not changed, and his golden curls like a lion king are the eternal light of the villa.

"Grandpa, Kiriya has come to see you." The eighteen-year-old lady of the sky, with a delicate smile on her face, stepped gently into the house.

The old man with golden curly hair in the study put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and showed a kind smile: "My little dragon is back." ”

"Grandpa, you're making fun of me again."

"This is not a joke, the eighteen-year-old Arcane Master is three years earlier than Grandpa was promoted to Arcane Master in the first place."

"But Grandpa, you have become a 5-ring arcane mage, and those arcane mages who were promoted earlier than you at the beginning, but no one can reach your achievements." Kiria walked up behind Keystone and expertly gave Keystone a slap on the shoulder.

Keystone laughed like an ordinary old man: "Of course, grandpa is the best at accumulation." ”

Immediately, Keystone asked, "Little Kiria, on the first day of study at Penrose Mage Tower, did you get to know your classmates?" ”

"yes, I got it."

"Has anyone bullied you?"

"Why, everyone was friendly, we had a drink together in the tavern, and we talked about something to strengthen our relationship."

"It's good that no one bullies you, if anyone dares to bully you, grandpa will spank Penrose's ass."

Kiria began to laugh.

Penrose was already an old man of his grandfather's generation, and he even had to be spanked. But when you think about it, Penrose is a child at eighty or ninety years old, compared to Keystone's eighteenties and nineties.

"By the way, among these classmates, are there any of them that make your first impression very impressive?" Keystone asked, seemingly casually.

Kiriya thought for a moment, "It doesn't seem like there is any." ”

"I remember there wasn't an arcane mage younger than you?"

"Well, yes, his name is Duke."

"Younger than you, this Duke, didn't you impress?"

"Before I met, I had an expectation that I wanted to meet Duke, who was promoted to arcane master at the age of sixteen, but after meeting, I found that it was not very special." Kilia thought about the picture of the tavern dinner, "The personality is a bit taciturn, it may be related to the experience, anyway, it is quite mature and stable." ”

"Isn't it ostentatious?"

"Nope."

"Well, it's not interesting." Keystone shook his head and sighed, "It seems that he is also a mediocre arcane mage, it's really worrying, the descendants of the arcane mage are already green and yellow, the spirituality of the black Jiaohe land, you have something to do!" ”

"Grandpa, you are in control of the overall situation." Kiria reassured.

"Grandpa doesn't want to work until he dies of old age, he won't be able to get a quiet ...... at the age of 190," Keystone shook his head.

Then he commented on his colleagues: "This Williams behaves in a way that is healthier than your grandfather; Erwin is keen on doing things, but the pattern is too small, and he wants to pull everything into his tower; As for Stephen Winged Tiger, his brain is full of muscles...... It's too unacceptable! ”

Kiria just giggled.

These are all 4-ring arcane mages, but it's not something that her junior can comment on casually.

"Okay, okay, an old man with me is nagging endlessly, you must be annoyed."

"How could it be, chatting with grandpa is interesting."

"Haha, when grandpa was young, he was indeed known for his humor in Shenjiao City......" Reminiscing about that year, Keystone waved his hand, "Grandpa is tired, you should go back and rest early, since you choose to learn to make cards, you have to work hard for it." ”

"Kiria understands."

……

Unbeknownst to Duke, he had received an evaluation of a "mediocre arcane mage" from Keystone Fury.

He sat cross-legged on the big bed in his villa, and his whole image had been completely turned upside down, with pointed ears, green eyes, flowing blonde hair, and a long figure and pale skin.

It is the elf form after merging with the chick.

With the blessing of the elf form, the quality of all aspects of the body has been greatly improved, including the efficiency of cultivation has also been greatly improved.

So he now combines with the chicks every day at night, and then practices the breathing method, the blood refining method, and the meditation method.

Inner view of the sea of spirits.

The ring transformed by the spirit core already has multiple protrusions, and it is vaguely about to pull the absolutely circular ring into a complex energy line circuit.

This is the cultivation of the arcane mage, with the in-depth study and cognition of the spiritual arcane, the spirit core, which represents the logic of its own arcane operation, will gradually evolve to a complete magic model, and when it reaches the limit of logic, it can make the leap to the second ring.

At that time, he will be promoted to the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage.

The study of spiritual arcane cannot be stopped, and the exclusive meditation method cannot be stopped—cognition is the means of casting the spiritual core, and as for the raw materials required for casting, it is the free spiritual particles from the outside world that the meditation method continuously absorbs.

"Ah...... Twitter. "Xiao Dou woke up from a slumber, a habit that he had developed in his childhood, and when it came time to cultivate the Blood Refining Method, he dozed off.

"Let's go play." Duke waved.

Jumping out of the window, he went to find his friends at Beverly Manor. There are a lot of knights in this community, so there are many contract spirit animals, and many of them are free-range in the community and can move freely.

"Tsk!"

"Meow."

There was a cry from Xiaodou in the yard, and a perfunctory response from Mimi the Black Spotted Serval, obviously Xiaodou wanted to pull Mimi out to play together.

Mimi is a lady with the same upright temperament as Vivien, and has little interest in hanging out.

Then.

Duke frowned suddenly, and then a tearing sensation hit him, and he had withdrawn from the elven state.

Along with it, there was a little cowardly chick: "I'm so tired, hurry up and make up for my spirit crystal." ”

Click, click.

A spirit crystal was chewed and swallowed by a chick.

Then he glanced at Duke: "I'm really a hard-working chicken, and I have to be combined with the hateful Duklalai every day." ”

Duke smiled slightly: "If you don't want to eat spirit crystals, you can choose to refuse." ”

"This is the tragic fate of the working chicken, for the sake of a rotten stone, completely becoming a slave of the evil capitalist Duke!"

"This rotten stone is not cheap, a standard piece of 25 gold dragons, ordinary people can't eat 25 gold dragon food for a family of three for ten years."

"Hmph, are we ordinary people!"

"So you're complaining about a fart, get out of the air and go to sleep." Duke gave the chick a pop, this foul-mouthed elf, who doesn't hit the uncomfortable sky.

"You wait for me!" The chick uttered a cruel remark, slammed into Duke's stomach, and vanished.

Duke got up and got out of bed and walked to the corner of the room, where there was a cardboard box, which was supposed to be eating a fat maggot Xiaohong, which had been pupated.

Stops moving, and secretes a special mucus that wraps itself in a cocoon chrysalis.

At this time, the cocoon chrysalis in the carton is the size of an ostrich egg.

"After pupation, it is an adult worm...... I have to build a nest for Little Red and I can't keep it at home anymore. ”

Duke pondered.
