Mentor Sorel left the Sukhtara Mage Tower, ready to go outside to concentrate on his research, something that Duke only found out when he was invited to the farewell party.

The farewell party was held in a buffet style in one of the cafeterias in the castle.

In addition to Teacher Sukhtara and the three 1-ring arcane mage students, there were also several arcane mages who had left before.

Duke found an opportunity and toasted to Sorel who came over: "I didn't expect Sorel to help you leave so soon, and I also want to find an opportunity to ask you some questions in the field of life." ”

Sorel paused.

The red wine glass in his hand shook slightly, and his eyes lingered on Duke for a long time, until Duke looked a little hairy in his heart, and then he said indifferently: "You are very good, Duke, I hope that you will continue to be so lucky and inherit the teacher's lifelong research." ”

Without drinking, Sorel left without saying anything, not interested in talking to Duccodo.

"Sir, this Lord Sorel is so rude." The little assistant Mu Lali came over with a wine glass, "Even Mr. You toast, he doesn't drink, what is arrogant, isn't it the 2-ring mage, in a few years, you will definitely be the 2-ring mage." ”

She was really a little angry, and felt that the entire Su clan in the restaurant was hostile to her and Duke.

"Keep it low, little Lili." Duke smiled, "Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, and I am not the Golden Dragon of the Federal Currency, everyone likes me and respects me." ”

Send Mulali away.

Duke simply found a corner by himself and silently watched the others socialize.

This level of neglect did not cause any fluctuations in his heart, in his previous life on the earth, operating a soybean oil factory, as a small factory owner, he experienced a lot of cold reception.

Not to mention the cold reception, even being humiliated by others, I have not experienced it less.

"But then again, Sorel, as well as the people of the Su clan, have a really wrong attitude towards me, and they are hostile." Duke shook his glass, not interested in drinking, "It stands to reason that I didn't do anything, just because I became a student of Teacher Suktara, so you were hostile to me?" ”

This is an ideal that does not work.

Duke thought of something else: "If you are hostile to me, there must be a conflict of interest between me and them, what kind of conflict of interest...... It must have something to do with me becoming the successor of Teacher Sukhtara, could it be that they think I'm here to rob the Mage Tower? ”

Although he didn't have the idea of robbing the Mage Tower, he couldn't stand the idea that others would think so.

"Yes, Morris said that the Suktara Mage Tower has been purged recently, and many Su clan members have been purged...... They must have thought that this was a sign that Teacher Sukhtara was going to abandon the Su clan, after all, the two sides were not really blood relatives. ”

The current Su clan people have the blood of Suktara's brother or brother, not Suktara himself.

Even blood relatives will have betrayal and abandonment, not to mention relatives who are separated by a layer.

"But why is Sorel hostile to me, and those three 1-ring arcian mages don't seem to be very enthusiastic about me, is it because of the Su clan?"

"That's not right!"

Duke didn't believe that Sorel and the others would make enemies with an arcane mage like him for the sake of ordinary people.

So there must be a conflict of interest between each other: "So what is the conflict of interest between Sorel and me?" ”

Thinking of Sorel's sudden departure, Duke vaguely speculated on something: "Could it be that they are hostile to me because they think that the teacher will tilt the resources of the Mage Tower in favor of me?" And because he couldn't get resources, so Sorel left? ”

It seems to have been figured out, but after all, it is just speculation.

Duke thought for a while and then gave up and continued to think deeply: "Forget it, it's my business, as long as it doesn't affect me, I don't care why he Sorel left!" ”

He took a sip of wine, and his mood returned to freedom: "I have been cultivated by Teacher Sukhtara with my ability, why should I care about the opinions of others, even if Teacher Suktara wants to give me the Mage Tower, I am not embarrassed, I will accept it!" ”

Duke, who thought thoroughly, ate and drank as usual, regardless of whether others were enthusiastic or cold to him, it was right for him to serve his stomach comfortably first.

After eating and drinking, the farewell party is over.

Duke took Mulari and left, and before he could return to Tower 2, he saw Subotan's assistant waiting at the door with a smile on his face.

"Lord Duke, please go to class as usual."

"Forehead......" Duke took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, it was already after eight o'clock, but he didn't expect Suktara to even let go tonight, "The teacher just returned from the farewell party, don't you take a break?" ”

"My lord left early from the farewell party, and after taking a bath, I asked me to come and inform you."

"Okay, I'll go to class."

By the time Duke had passed, Sukhtara had already prepared the teaching materials and was smiling and waiting for Duke to arrive, so that he really didn't waste any time.

Gathering his mind, Duke also focused on his studies.

"The spirituality contained in each kind of spiritual material is different, and it seems that the same variety of spiritual material, even if the selection criteria are the same, there will be inextricable differences in spirituality. Only by grasping this gap can you refine the spiritual materials you need. ”

"Our alchemists have been passed down from ancient times to the present day, and even the profession was born even longer than the mage, long before the knights conquered the forest, the alchemists began to refine gold and decipher the mystery of the transformation of matter."

"Duke, you were born an alchemist, I can feel your talent."

"Don't waste it, teacher, I will train you to be a qualified alchemist!"

In between teaching, Sukhtara would always describe a blueprint for Duke's future, encouraging him to continue to explore the field of alchemy.

Flatbread doesn't attract Duke.

But the joy of learning knowledge allowed him to patiently listen to Suktara's teachings and cooperate with Xiaoyi to raise all kinds of doubts.

The interaction is frequent, and the relationship between teachers and students is developing rapidly.

At least in Sukhtara's mind, it became more and more certain that Duke was the spiritual successor to her, to make amends for her in the last stages of her life.

Dangdangdang.

Sully's butler knocked on the door and reminded him that it was time for the teaching practice to end.

"Teacher, then I'll take my leave." Duke began to clean up the materials on the table, which were all ordinary spiritual materials that served as teaching materials.

Sukhtara smiled and nodded, "Rest early, kid." ”

Exit Tower 1.

Calling out to the sleepy little assistant, Duke took advantage of the moonlight to walk on the main road of the castle. The street lights were still on, and not far away there were patrolling guards and knights, patrolling in formation.

Suddenly.

Behind a large tree in front of Duke, a man, not a stranger, turned out, it was Suril, the manager of the Mage Tower and the castle.

The leader of the Su clan and the lord of the castle.

At this time, Suraire was full of wine and looked drunk, stopped in front of Duke, and stared at Duke in a daze with red eyes.

There were no waves on Duke's face, and Xiaoyi and the spirit plants in the castle breathed and resonated all the time, so as long as there were spirit plants, no one could hide in front of him.

He had known for a long time that Surair was hiding behind a tree.

"You're a villain!" Surair suddenly grinned and smiled grimly, "With bad intentions, you are coming towards the Sukhtara Mage Tower!" ”

Duke's expression remained the same.

Mu Lali couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately fought back loudly: "You are the villain, my husband is a genius mage, Master Suktara invited Mr. several times, and Mr. agreed to come here for further study, you villains, don't reverse black and white!" ”

"Fart! Duke, you don't dare to admit it, right, what kind of arcane mage are you, coveting other people's mage towers, won't you earn it yourself! Aren't you a genius mage, don't you feel ashamed to go and build the mage tower by yourself and come over and grab my Su clan's mage tower! ”

Souliel pointed to Duke's nose and asked loudly.

found that Duke, as well as Mu Lali, who was still angry before, looked at him with indifferent expressions and didn't say a word.

He became more and more arrogant, his eyes widened and roared: "I don't dare to speak, I was poked in the heart, haha, I knew that you were just a villain!" ”

He scolded fiercely, and Duke and Mulali in front of him, their expressions still did not change, and they did not speak.

The patrolling knightly guards, as if instructed to do so, were indifferent to the shouting and scolding, and went straight to patrol ahead.

Not far away, on Tower 1, a window was pushed open.

Sukhtara stared down coldly, only to see Surair alone, pointing at the air in front of him and scolding, and the scolding became more and more intense.

And the real Duke and Mula Li had already walked to the gate of Tower 2, and then entered the gate without looking back.

What remained in front of Surair was only the illusionary arcane magic that Duke had cast.

"Sully."

"Old lady." The Grand Butler of Sully bowed forward.

"You know what to do with this shameful thing."

"Yes, old lady."

"Deal with it as soon as possible, I don't want these people to cause any disturbance between me and Duke, if it can't be done, I'll do it again."

Su Li took a deep breath: "Please rest assured, old lady. ”

……

"Sir, why are you pulling me away, I'm going to scold that Surair." Back in Tower 2, Mulali was puffed up.

"What are you scolding, this is the teacher's castle, how can you give the teacher face." Duke knocked the assistant with a pop.

"Then you can't be scolded by others in vain."

"There are a thousand ways to solve a problem, and swearing is the least practical." Duke waved his hand and prepared to take a shower.

Mu Lali was still unconvinced, and snorted: "It's the most comfortable to scold." ”

The next day was Saturday, and instead of going to work at Penrose's Mage Tower, Duke was called over to class early in the morning by Sukhtara.

In Sukhtara's words, she has not much to live for, and she is only seizing the day.

Classes are not available until noon.

On the way to dinner, I met the great butler of Sully, who was wiping the sweat from his forehead and hurrying over.

"Lord Duke."

"Mr. Sully, is there something wrong?"

"I'm sorry that I couldn't let you enjoy the peace in the castle due to some factors, the old lady scolded me, now that everything has been resolved, no one will disturb you anymore." Grand Steward Sully said quickly, "Your knights, you can also rest assured that you can train in the castle. ”

Duke nodded happily, "I don't know what's going on, but thank you, Mr. Sully." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

"I also hope that you can replace me and tell some people that I moved in, and I only want to learn alchemy knowledge from the teacher, and I don't have any other pursuits." Duke said calmly, "I have my own business out there. ”

"Your thirst for knowledge is admirable, but rest assured that no one will pester you anymore, that's what the old lady meant."

After a pause, the big butler Su Li smiled slightly: "I only serve the old lady, there is no doubt about that. ”

"I understand, thank you, Mr. Sully."

"May the spirit favor the old lady and you."

After talking with the Grand Butler of Su Li, Duke really felt that the atmosphere of the entire castle had changed, and no one from the Su clan dared to show him cold eyes.

Vivien trains with the Guardian Knights, and there will be no big knights who are not eye-opening to find fault.

Opposite.

As Duke was strolling, the Patrol Knights passed by, and the first knight broke away from the group and walked straight to Duke.

"Lord Duke, the new Knight Captain of the Sukhtara Mage Tower, Herdos greets you."

"Hello, Captain Herdos." Duke returned the salute, then asked curiously, "I feel the breath of the Phantom Beast, you are a Phantom Beast Knight?" ”

"Your perception is amazing, indeed, I am a Phantom Beast Knight, and it is the cultivation of Lord Suktara that I have the strength I have today." Herdos was about forty years old and nearly two meters tall, and "If you have anything to do in the castle, just give me a command." ”

After saying hello, Herdos took his leave and left.

Duke watched the other party run away on horseback, and sighed in his heart, the power of the 3-ring arcane mage should not be underestimated.

Although Suktara did not train a descendant of the arcane mage, among the knights under his command, there were 2-ring phantom beast knights.

"As a nobleman, the Black Snake family has only just cultivated Muhans Black Snake, a 2-ring phantom beast knight......"

"Of course."

Duke thought: "If the teacher had descendants, I am afraid that he would also start a pioneering war, compete for a noble title, and start his own family...... It's a pity that the Su clan is not angry, and the teacher's life goal has become to find a successor. ”

Time flies.

It's September 15 in the blink of an eye.

At this point, Duke deliberately took a leave of absence and sat at the headquarters of the Light Giant Spirit Artifact Company, watching Runwanjia launch a competing product Spiritual Lamp.

As soon as possible, people bought a batch of spiritual lamps and lanterns.

Dismantle the study one by one.

"This is simply a change of shape of the portable lamp, plagiarism of the lamp head, plagiarism of the button, and even the design of the card machine interface is plagiarized!" A designer in the R&D department rebuked loudly, "My lord, this must sue Runwanjia for patent infringement." ”

"If there is a lawsuit, at most it will be regarded as structural infringement, and the luminous structure is still the luminous structure of the Lingfeng lamp." Another designer said with a deep groan.

"The infringing appearance is nothing, the key is that it infringes on the creativity of adults!"

"Yes, the gap between the portable lamp and the spiritual wind lamp, as long as the people of the Erudite Tower are not blind, they will definitely be able to distinguish it."

"I'm afraid that if I find out, they won't recognize it, and they will have a lawsuit with us."

"Then go to court!"

Everyone in the company shouted indignantly.

General Manager Vial came to Duke: "Mr. Duke, are we going to sue Runwanjia for infringement?" ”

"Of course." Duke put down the magic lamp in his hand, "Aren't the lawyers all contacted, there is no accident with the magic lamp, it is to plagiarize the product, go to the Boxue Tower to sue Runwanjia for infringement, and then contact the reporter to stir up the lawsuit." ”

"Yes."

"By the way, how much does this light cost?"

"The lowest type of spiritual lamp is priced at 35 copper dragons, and our cheapest portable lamp is priced at 45 copper dragons...... However, Runwanjia did not launch a built-in spiritual storage card portable lamp, and they did not launch all products with built-in spiritual storage cards. ”

"The reason is very simple, the built-in spirit card technology is unique to me, and it is easy to determine infringement if they plagiarize. Only the structural creativity of the portable lamp can be ripped off with the improvement and optimization of the Lingfeng lamp, and the people behind the Runwanjia can bear it. ”

Duke smiled, didn't care, but said: "According to the original plan, they will reduce the price and we will also reduce the price, and the agents in other cities will also reduce the price, and they will also compete for the market at a loss!" ”

Raised 110,000 gold dragons.

It's just to fight a price war.

Duke didn't panic at all, but expected Runwanjia to follow up quickly, from Shenjiao City to the entire Fengxi territory, and the sky was dark.

"Yes!" Vial responded excitedly.

He is one of the few people who knows the technology of strong light hand lights, and he also knows Duke's entire business competition plan, which does not have many moves, but is quite clever.

It can definitely tear off a piece of big fat from Runwanjia's body, let the Giant of Light eat to his heart's content, and then really gain a firm foothold in Shenjiao City and even the entire Seven Towers Federation.

"Okay, you go get busy, call Shakron over."

"Yes."

Shakron is the brother-in-law of Muhans Black Snake, the uncle of Mulali, the vice-captain of the Knights of the Snake Head Town, and the Grand Knight of the 1st Ring.

"Mr. Duke." Shacron bowed.

"You're welcome, Sacron." Duke smiled, "I call Uncle Muhans, you are his brother-in-law, we are all family. ”

Sacron smiled and replied, "Yes, family." ”

"How is it, working two jobs, are you tired?"

"Fortunately, the mayor gave me a vacation for a while and allowed me to work on the second phase of the plant first, so I wasn't so tired."

"That's good, the second phase of the plant must be kept confidential."

"I understand, please rest assured."

Shakron has been appointed by Duke as the deputy general manager of the Giant of Light Artifact Company and the director of the Snake Head Town factory.

Responsible for the secret construction of a new factory in Sheshou Town, which is used to produce a series of strong light hand lamps.

Relying only on the current portable lamp, table lamp, and headlamp series products, it can compete with Runwanjia's Lingguang series, but it is unrealistic to defeat Runwanjia.

Even if the patent infringement lawsuit wins, the other party can still sell while losing money.

However, the patent pool of the strong light hand lamp is far deeper than the portable lamp, if Runwanjia dares to infringe, the giant of light can rely on the infringement fee to make money.

In fact, many polymath who hold the patent of spiritual weapons do not open factories and companies in person, but rely on patent licensing to make money.

Runwanjia has obtained a lot of patents in Shenjiao City, the exclusive agency right.

"At noon, I asked Mulali to arrange and have lunch together." Duke finished his business and extended an invitation to Sacron and the others.

With Duke's command, the entire Giant of Light went into action.

The spirit stores where Runwanjia has put products have been promoted by the giants of light, replenishing the products and setting the price at the same standard as Runwanjia.

Where Runwanjia places slide card advertisements, there are slide card advertisements of the Giant of Light.

In addition, the Giant of Light also has a subsidy, every time the Giant of Light sells a lamp, the store will be given a copper dragon or two copper dragon subsidies, prompting the store owner to take the initiative to sell the Giant of Light's portable lamp to customers instead of the spiritual lamp.

In addition, the legal department of the Giant of Light directly launched a complaint against Runwanjia against the Boxue Tower.

At the same time, he also published an infringement lawsuit in the newspaper with a lot of money, exaggerating Runwanjia's patent infringement of the Giant of Light, disrespecting knowledge, not respecting the laws of the Seven Towers Federation, and not respecting spiritual mysteries.

A big battle about lights is unfolding vigorously.

In just one week, the Giant of Light had good news.

According to the investigation team's data tracking of several spiritual stores in Shenjiao City, relying on price reductions and subsidies, the sales of portable lamps far exceeded those of spiritual lamps, and they were several times that of spiritual lamps.

And with the city also negotiated a number of agents, low price to provide agents with portable lamp series products, blocking the road of Runwanjia.

The Giant of Light holds the patent, and is not afraid of losing money at all, and there will always be a day when it will be earned.

Runwanjia will either strangle the giant of light to death and then buy the patent rights, otherwise as long as it fails, it will have to pay huge patent infringement costs.

"Keep up the good work, don't be afraid, what we have in the Golden Dragon!" Duke was in high spirits at the company meeting, "Keep an eye on Runwanjia, they will also reduce the price, unless they join forces with the Arcane Master of the other city to suppress us, we will never retreat half a step!" ”

"My lord, what if you are blocked by the arcane mages of other cities?" Coritia, the deputy general manager of full-time sales, asked.

"Then take a step back and directly put products into ordinary spirit weapon stores, and if you really can't do it, you can withdraw from this city, or directly cooperate with the local spirit weapon factory to produce them. The Wind Breath Realm has eight regions, and if we win half of them, it will be a victory! ”

After a pause, Duke continued: "And our eyes should not only be on the Wind Breath Domain, the twelve domains of the Seven Towers Federation are all our battlefields...... The geographical location between the fields is too far away, and the transportation of products is inconvenient, so we directly cooperate with the local production and earn a little patent licensing fee! ”

The territory of the Seven Towers Federation is so vast that even airships can't cross it.

A region like Shenjiao City is basically equivalent to a province on the earth; The Wind Breath Realm is even half as big as half of China; Therefore, the Seven Towers Federation is basically equivalent to the total area of the Earth's continents combined.

In such a vast area, the distance of the route is also constantly extended, and there are some dangerous routes, only airships and warships can traverse, and the cargo transaction is really inconvenient.

So patent licensing is the best way to do it.

The Giant of Light can occupy half of the field of wind breath, and it can be regarded as a giant company, successfully dominating the lamp light source market.

And so, another week passed.

Time has entered October in a blink of an eye, and the footsteps of autumn have quietly arrived, and some trees on the streets of Shenjiao City have begun to turn yellow and fall leaves.

Runwanjia, who was beaten by the Giant of Light and had miserable sales, finally came back to his senses.

"My lord, the giants of light are not honest, and their sales team colludes with the spirit store to subsidize one or two bronze dragons for every product sold. So those shopkeepers are trying their best to sell portable lamps, and even hide our spiritual lights in the corners. ”

The head of sales, with his head down, reports to Chairman Klelinda.

Klelinda, who is a 3-ring mage, was so angry that her liver hurt: "What a bunch of waste, since you know it, don't imitate it!" They subsidize one or two copper dragons, and we will subsidize two or three copper dragons! ”

"Yes, my lord, I'll arrange it."

"Also, how about contacting partners in several cities outside?"

"It's already talking, but it's ...... But the Giants of Light offer the same price as us, and they have patents, so ...... At the moment, we are still trying to ......" the sales leader stumbled back, they didn't expect that the giant of light would dare to fight hard.

Even the discount given is lower than that given by Runwanjia.

"It's really a bunch of waste, if you count on it, Runwanjia will simply close the door!" Clelinda waved the head of sales out of the way.

Then he called his secretary: "Send a letter to His Excellency Mesta in Spike City, and tell him that I am going to visit Mesta Mage Tower, it is a private visit, and no academic preparation is required." ”

"Yes, sir."

"Also write to His Excellency John of Rainbow Bay City, and His Excellency Lofkiss of the Oil Land...... Invite them to my Mage Tower. ”

"As you wish."

The secretary went to work.

Clelinda rubbed her temples, and her face was gloomy: "Little 1 Ring Arcane Mage, you dare to compete with me head-on!" ”

He clenched one hand into a fist, and his fingers slammed: "Ever since I was injured in the war, my spirit core was permanently damaged, and I had to change from an arcane master to an arcane scholar, I have been suppressed everywhere, and I can't get a single scholar title, and now even a little 1-ring arcane mage dares to go against me!" ”

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.

Klelinda now just wants to vent all her anger on the Giant of Light, and only wants to completely crush this small company that dares to compete with him.
