"Alchemy, as the name suggests, was a period when the early arcane mages were still chaotic, refining stones into gold by some means."

"Now, alchemy is to affect real matter by changing the nature of the spirit."

"You can refine matter into spirituality, or you can refine spirituality into matter, and the material of the arcane weapon is the simplest kind of alchemy. As long as there is a ring structure of the arcane weapon, even a spiritual apprentice can perform an alchemy. ”

At night in Sukhtara Castle, Tower 1, Sukhtara earnestly teaches alchemy.

Duke is a good student and listens carefully.

With the assistance of Xiaoyi, any problem is basically understandable, and it is unforgettable, unforgettable, and the genius style is vividly displayed.

"I knew you were very suitable for studying the field of alchemy, kid, your understanding in this field is really good." Sukhtara was full of praise for Duke, only to feel that it was a spiritual favor to be able to meet such a student when she was about to reach the end of her life.

"It's the teacher, you teach well." Duke complimented.

He could feel Sukhtara's urgency, as if he wanted to stuff him with all the knowledge he had learned all his life.

If you change someone, you will definitely not be able to bear this kind of enthusiasm, only Duke will not refuse.

No matter how much knowledge Suktarase has, it is nothing more than to expand Xiaoyi's database a little more, and it won't affect Duke anything.

So he couldn't ask for such a teaching.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and the teaching atmosphere is harmonious and warm.

"Kid, it would be nice if the teacher had met you sooner." Sukhtara was overjoyed, but also a little regretful, "I am already dying, and living for another twenty years may be a luxury, and I may not be able to see you make a difference in the field of alchemy." ”

"Teacher, you don't have to be so pessimistic, everything is possible, isn't it?"

"Yes, anything is possible, in the realm of spiritual arcane, anything is possible." Sukhtara calmed down, "Then let's continue teaching, where did we just go...... In the eyes of alchemists, the ring is the recognition of the spiritual mysteries, imprinted in the spiritual sea......"

The ring, as an integration of the spiritual arcane realm, scholars in different fields look at it differently.

Alchemists associate it with alchemical methods, believing that rings have the ability to manifest in the real world.

According to the theory of the spiritual sea, the spiritual sea really exists, and the spiritual sea of each arcane mage is a projection of the spiritual sea. Since the spiritual sea is a projection, there are traces to follow in using the projection to affect the real spiritual sea in turn.

This is Sukhtara's research, and she is researching materials that replicate rings in the real world.

Her life's goal is to use the means that only the Great Arcane Mage can master, the Projection Ring, so that ordinary low-level, intermediate, and high-level Arcane Mages have the opportunity to master it through the optimization of materials, so as to create a new situation in alchemy.

Admittedly, this goal is too ambitious.

Once completed, it will make a drastic change to the overall situation of the arcane mage, and at least it will greatly reduce the cost of the arcane mage's action.

The Arcane Wizards with 3 rings and below have mastered the Projection Ring, which means that there is another group of Armagers who can open up the barren forest without fear of death. Anyway, the destruction of the projection ring is only a loss of a batch of materials and energy, and the arcane mage is the most lacking in this.

"Teacher." From time to time, Duke asks a little question in his teaching.

This is not his own question, but Xiaoyi encountered data that could not be judged when he was summarizing, and notified Duke.

Duke asked again.

"What are the differences between spiritual gold and spiritual materials in alchemy techniques? How to embed spiritual materials in spiritual gold to assist in the transition from spiritual gold to special arcane materials? ”

"That's a good question, that's what I'm going to teach you next." Sukhtara said with a smile, for Duke who can draw inferences and ask questions non-stop, the more she likes it, the more she likes it, and she wishes this was her own junior.

Teaching continues in an atmosphere of joy.

It was already late in the night, and the chief butler of Sully personally came to inform him that it was time to rest.

Looking at Sukhtara, who still wanted to continue teaching, Duke hurriedly got up and said, "Teacher, you should rest early, don't burn your body." ”

"Where am I so fragile, don't underestimate the physical fitness of a 3-ring mage." Sukhtara was still unsatisfied, but she also understood that it was indeed too late at night, "Okay, that's all for today, Duke, you're still growing your body, and I can't delay you." ”

When Duke turned to go out, she followed the order, "Duke, continue tomorrow." ”

"Uh, okay, teacher."

Wiping the sweat on his head, Duke hurried out, lest the old lady still want to pull him to teach again.

In the corridor outside the door, I saw a familiar person.

"Your Excellency Suraire." Duke smiled and greeted.

The other party is the actual person in charge of the Sukhtara Mage Tower, and he is also the descendant of Sukhtara - although Sukhtara has no children, he has cultivated the descendants of his elder brother and younger brother as his own juniors, and helps manage the property.

Suraire, who was about forty years old and just an ordinary spiritual apprentice, bowed slightly when he saw Duke, but did not speak.

The hallway was a little dimly lit.

Hit Suraire in the face, giving a gloomy feeling.

Duke passed by Suriel, his eyes couldn't help but narrow, he might not be able to see Suriel's expression clearly because of the light, but Xiaoyi was able to use his computing power to assist in lighting and clearly present Suril's expression.

"It seems that these juniors of the teacher are not very welcoming to my arrival." He thought silently in his heart.

Obviously, the people of Sulair regard the Sukhtara Mage Tower as their own property.

And Duke's arrival, with the favor of Suktara, will undoubtedly have a certain impact on their mastery of Suktara Mage Tower.

But Duke didn't think much of it, he didn't have the idea of coming to fight for the Mage Tower.

The knowledge that Sukhtara brought to him was the most valuable asset, just a mage tower, and he himself could not build it in the future.

"Xiao Lili, I'm back." In the cubicle, calling out to Mulali, who was already dazed and dozing off, Duke left Tower 1.

Go back to your own Tower 2 and rest.

At the same time, Surair also walked into Suktara's room, and when he saw Suktara, he immediately put on a respectful smile: "Grandma, why don't you rest, you have to take care of your body, don't stay up late." ”

"Don't worry, little Surair, grandma is in good health." Sukhtara sat in front of the bookcase and sorted out the materials and the knowledge to be taught tomorrow.

"Why do you bother with this, just teaching students, isn't it the same when you have free time?"

"That's different, I finally found a student who caught my eye, and everything I learned in my life in the future will be taught to him."

Sukhtara said casually.

But when Surair heard this, he couldn't help but clench his fist, and then smiled: "It's really not worth your hard work, just an ordinary student, although he has the reputation of a genius mage, but there are too many miscellaneous things, he may not be willing to listen to your teaching." ”

"Oh, what do you mean?" Sukhtara looked up and asked with a smirk.

Surair smiled and said: "You can teach him casually first, and see if his true colors are right, the burden of the successor, I think Duke is too young to bear it, this kid is ambitious, open a company, engage in inventions......"

"So what." Sukhtara quickly turned cold, "I don't cultivate him, will I cultivate you, I am willing to cultivate you, but are you worthy?" ”

"Well, you're old ...... that"

"Sulair, don't think that grandma Tai is old and can be fooled by you casually, I didn't care about it before, so I went with you. From now on, the rules of the Mage Tower must be changed, and you should stop acting pretending to be my junior. ”

When Su Lai heard this, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, who dares to fool you!" ”

Sukhtara said indifferently: "Don't dare to be the best, you remember for me, I will read the face of your dear grandfather, so that you can live here without food and clothing, and enjoy the life of a master." But don't really think of yourself as a master, your grandfather is my relative, but you, the relationship is already far away, understand? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Suraim was busy.

Sukhtara glanced at Surair in disgust, turned to the great butler of Sully, and said: "From tomorrow onwards, the rules of the castle and the mage tower must be erected, and those who have the ability to divide the industry will let them operate, and if they are not capable, don't be like an uncle, and send them away." ”

The great butler of Sully bowed and said, "As you wish." ”

Sukhtara seemed tired and waved his hand to let everyone leave.

When Surair turned around, he shouted to Surai again: "In addition, Duke is an arcane mage, you group of waste, respect him and any arcane mage from the bottom of your heart." Then let me hear you call Duke 'that kid,' and get me out of my mage tower." ”

"Yes, I don't dare anymore, grandma!" Soulair stooped and stepped back cautiously.

Out of the door, quickly leave the hallway, walk to the spirit ladder, press the button frantically, and then enter the spirit ladder.

Ding dong.

The ladder door closes.

Bang knock!

Surair punched the wall: "Unreasonable, unreasonable!" This crazy old woman is simply unreasonable, in her mind, we are not as good as outsiders who are not related by blood! It's useless to live such an old fart, why don't you die sooner! ”

"Respect, I respect you for not dying!"

Bang bang!

Surair slammed two more punches on the wall of the Spirit Ladder, and with a ding knock, the door of the Spirit Ladder opened, and he quickly put away his crazy stance.

Stride out of Tower 1.

……

"Can you keep up?"

The next day, Duke went to work at Penrose's Tower, and was called to his office early in the morning by Penrose, first to inspect the progress of his homework, and then to ask how he was feeling about teaching recently.

"You can keep up, Mentor."

"Do you think that the teaching of His Excellency Sukhtara is different from my teaching here, and is there any conflict with your research?"

Duke smiled and replied, "There is no conflict, I like both studies, and I feel that my understanding of spiritual arcane law is rapidly improving." ”

"It's good that there is no conflict, I was worried that your distraction would affect your research on both sides." Penrose's expression was a little complicated, "But on your inspection, I found that my learning in the field of card making has not been left behind." ”

"I can coordinate my time and assign study tasks."

"Hmm." Penrose was sure that Duke could keep up with the learning, so he didn't say any more, "Then be it, it's your luck to be favored by His Excellency Sukhtara, I hope you don't live up to the trust of the other party, and try to inherit what she has learned." ”

"Yes, Mentor."

"Let's go back."

Clang, the office door closed, and Duke had left.

Penrose picked up the teacup, leaned back in the chair comfortably, then unscrewed the lid and took a small sip of good tea.

"Study two fields at the same time, Duke, Duke, how confident are you?" He couldn't help but smile comfortably, "But that's okay, your learning progress in the field of card making makes me a little unbearable, so it's better to be distracted." ”

Whether it's drawing a magic model, making a spirit card, or cultivating arcane wonders and casting arcane magic, Duke learns too fast.

It's a little unbearable to make Penrose scream.

If this momentum continues, in a few years, he may have to catch up with him and become a new card-making scholar.

This is undoubtedly a big blow to Penrose.

You must know that the reason why he stayed in Shenjiao City was to enjoy the honor of being the only card-making scholar in Shenjiao City, and because of this honor, he was able to enter the Five Towers Conference and become a member of the leadership team of Shenjiao City.

If Duke also gets the title of card-making scholar, his position will be precarious.

Now, Duke is studying naturalism and alchemy, and he has made it clear that he wants to be half-hearted, and the progress in this card-making field will naturally slow down.

The pressure on Penrose was directly dissipated.

"Young man, sharpen and sharpen more, don't think about taking our old guy's class all day long, and wait for the wings to harden before thinking about it!"

For a few days.

During the day, Duke worked hard at Penrose Mage Tower, honing the art of card making, and delving into psychic waves and slide card experiments.

In the evening, return to the Sukhtara Mage Tower and learn alchemy from Sukhtara.

It's busy, but it's very fulfilling.

The mystical attraction of spiritual arcane faculties attracts him to keep studying and exploring, wanting to unravel this mystery little by little.

In September, Duke got good news on his way to work on a shuttle.

"Congratulations to the master for successfully building the Fantasy Arcane Wonder, the two Arcane Wonders are shining on the first track of the ring, implying that the future of the master will become more and more brilliant."

Xiaoyi presented a sycophant.

Duke was instantly overjoyed: "After more than two hundred days of waiting, the second arcane wonder has finally been built, and when I get to the mage tower, I want to try the power of the illusion!" ”

Meanwhile.

He closed his eyes again and looked inwardly at the spiritual sea.

On the periphery of the spirit core in the spirit sea, on the first layer of the track, a shield and an unpredictable light cluster were close together, revolving around the spirit core. Not far away, there is also a ring of sand eagle spell model structures, which are also orbiting.

That unpredictable light is the arcane wonder that represents the illusion.

Feeling the grandeur of the arcane wonders of the Fantasy Realm, and the intricate and intricate masonry of the interior, Duke has entered a state of mystery and mystery.

But seeing that the spirit core was blooming brightly, with the completion of the illusion arcane wonder, the protrusion on it continued to increase, and the spirit core in the shape of a ring had been pulled and twisted into an irregular complex energy line composition.

"My ring, I already have the basic outline of the spell model!" Duke's mind silently flowed through the knowledge of various spiritual arcanes.

I don't know how long it has been, but the light of the spirit core slowly fades.

He also fell from the state of mystery and mystery, returned to the spiritual sea, and continued to look inwardly at the details of the changes in the spiritual sea.

"Xiaoyi, calculate my cultivation progress."

"Okay master, you are now a 1-ring arcane mage, and the current cultivation progress of the 1st ring is about 15%, and the time for promotion to the 2nd ring has not yet been clarified." Xiao Yi responded quickly, but Master Ao's cultivation was already difficult to calculate in time.

If you stop studying, you may not be able to advance to the second ring after meditating for the rest of your life.

It may be a chance epiphany that jumps directly from 1 to 2 rings.

Anything is possible.

Looking at the three arcane wonders and arcane artifacts on the first track of the spirit core, Duke asked again: "I see that there is still a lot of space on the track, it should not be my limit, Xiaoyi, can you continue to build new arcane wonders?" ”

"It has been calculated that there is still a lot of redundancy in orbital space to build new arcane wonders."

The orbital space of each arcane mage's ring has a limit, and the limit of space accommodation varies according to the individual's talent.

And the size of each arcane wonder is different, which will also affect the occupation of orbital space.

There are also arcane weapons that also occupy the position of arcane wonders.

It's just that Duke's one-ring sand eagle and nine-ring Xiaoyi are both brought with them when they cross, and they don't need to occupy the location of the arcane wonder, which gives him more choices.

"Then, according to what was previously decided, build a healing arcane wonder." Duke commanded.

"Ok host, new processes have been added for you...... Process 2: Heal Arcane Wonders, buildings consume 55% of power. At present, the construction progress is 0.0%, and the time budget is 241 days. "Xiaoyi quickly started the construction of the healing arcane wonder.

Having Xiaoyi really saved Duke a lot of time.

Other arcane mages usually have to practice meditation silently whenever they have free time, and then build arcane wonders by themselves.

He can use this time to study and experiment.

"If I don't succeed, who will!"

As soon as he exited the Spirit Sea, Duke didn't have time to sigh for a while when he heard Mulali say, "Sir, look outside. ”

Duke turned his head to look out the window, but saw an advertising image of a slide card playing on the wall of a small building.

The picture shows a product with a similar shape to a portable lamp.

A female model with her head scratching her head, holding a new lamp in her hand, concave her body into a deep S shape.

The clothes are almost bursting, which is really eye-catching.

"The spirit lamp is fully upgraded, and Runwanjia will bring you the light of life!"

"On September 15th, Runwanjia Spiritual Instrument Factory will launch an upgraded product of Lingfeng Lamp - Lingguang Lamp, which will not increase the price and give back to new and old customers in an all-round way!"

Advertising slogans are also flashing on the picture.

Mu Lali said angrily: "Sir, the Runwanjia Spirit Artifact Factory is simply copying the portable lamp of our Giant of Light!" ”

"Hmm." Duke wasn't surprised.

The workshop supervisor who was bought by Vyal had already reported on the listing plan of Runwanjia Spiritual Weapon Factory.

And the giant of light, which has received financing, is not only frantically expanding production capacity, but also ready for a lawsuit. Once Runwanjia's spiritual light is listed, after getting the product, he goes to Boxue Tower to accuse Runwanjia of infringement.

The Seven Towers Federation attaches great importance to patents, and basically as long as Runwanjia's spiritual lamp and portable lamp have a similar appearance or similar structure, they will be judged as infringement.

The shuttle has already driven by, and the advertising image has disappeared around the corner.

Mula Liwu scolded Runwanjia angrily, while Duke leaned back in his chair and silently thought about the upcoming battle between portable lamps and spiritual lamps.

"The head of the legal department of Boxue Tower, Azgul, is the director of Runwanjia, and will definitely block this infringement lawsuit at that time...... However, no matter how much she blocks it, it will not affect the determination of the infringement result, otherwise she will be provoking the system of the Seven Towers Federation. ”

"But ......"

Duke is well aware that there are loopholes in any rule and regulation, and as long as people have the heart, they will find the shortcomings and exploit them.

Azgul doesn't need to block the results, just need to delay the time, and Runwanjia can rely on this time to frantically copy the portable lamp, and then drag down the giant of light with strong capital, and finally reach a settlement.

At that time, it is only necessary to pay a batch of infringement fees to get the entire market.

"If I don't have strong light hand lamp technology, I'm afraid I really can't win this battle, even if I succeed in financing, I still won't be the opponent of Runwanjia." Duke smiled silently, "Your Excellency Clelinda, let's have a good fight, fist to the flesh!" ”

Not only did he not have a trace of nervousness now, but he was looking forward to Runwanjia's ferocious attack.

The more fierce the attack, the bigger the spread.

Then the counteroffensive will be more painful.

Suddenly, he thought of another point, and his smile was even brighter: "It's still convenient in this world, there is a contract, and it's too simple to keep it secret." ”

When the Giant of Light financed, it signed a confidentiality contract with the relevant personnel, and it was not allowed to disclose any information about the strong light hand lamp.

With the power constraints of the contract, the strong light hand lamp technology will never leak out in the slightest.

"Business competition, how can there be so many bells and whistles, a small strong hand lamp is enough to determine the world."

……

Penrose Mage Tower.

Duke stood outside Kiria Fury's office, waiting.

Assistant Gis and the others came in and out, but they turned a blind eye to Duke standing outside the door, and no one came to say hello.

After a while, Kiriya also walked out of the office.

At this time of the week, she had to go to Vikas to help her take lessons.

Outside, Kiria spoke to Assistant Gis as she walked towards the staircase, also ignoring Duke standing outside the door.

But.

Wait until Duke steps to follow.

Kiria turned her head abruptly and looked in Duke's direction suspiciously: "No, someone!" I just sensed someone! ”

"Anyone?" Jith looked at the empty hallway, "Miss, you won't look at flowers, will you?" ”

"How can I be dazzled, I don't see it, I perceive it." Kiria stretched out her hand in confusion and released her spiritual energy into the air.

The next moment.

The psionic energy passed through Duke's location, rippling like a wave of water, and Duke's figure was revealed.

Kiria froze: "Duke? ”

Gies exclaimed, "There really is someone, Lord Duke, you ......"

"Haha." Duke smiled and touched his chin, "I'm sorry, I just finished the illusion arcane wonder, so I couldn't help but come over and give it a try, but I didn't expect to take a step and be discovered by Kiria." ”

Kiriya had regained her composure and responded with a smile: "The illusion arcane has an excellent camouflage effect in static, once it enters the dynamic, the camouflage effect will be greatly reduced, and it will lose its effect on the arcanist, or a high-level spirit animal. ”

"I see."

"But, Duke, I remember you've built the Arcane Shield Wonder, right?" Kiria's tone was relaxed on her face, but she was shocked in her heart, "How long has it been since you built a new illusion arcane wonder?" ”

Duke smiled reservedly, "I have some understanding in meditation, so I can build arcane wonders a little faster than the average person." ”

"It's not a little faster, it's too much faster." Kiriya shook her head and said, "I still haven't reorganized the meditation method yet. ”

Shop around and throw it away.

Looking at Duke with a sunny smile, Kiria felt ashamed of herself for a while. Since he was a child, he has been the pearl of the palm held in the hands of his elders, and at the age of eighteen, he was promoted to the arcane master, and he ushered in the praise of the overwhelming lady of the sky.

However, compared with Duke, who was one year younger than herself, she suddenly deeply felt what the gap was.

She looked at Duke, as if she saw the extreme spirituality, which was the deep favor of the spiritual sea for Duke.

"Fast is not necessarily a good thing, and steady progress is never a bad thing." Duke comforted, then waved his hand, "You go get busy, I won't bother." ”

The next moment.

The light and shadow fluctuated, and Duke's figure disappeared again, apparently unleashing the illusionary arcane once again.

Kiria couldn't see Duke, but she could feel that Duke had walked back to her office, and she turned around to calm the unrest in her heart.

He said to the assistant, "Aunt Ghis, let's go." ”
