Chapter 214: Zifei Fish, Anzhi Fish, Joy
The Board of Directors of Cybidiling has resolved that Duke will take over the 1% stake in Clelinda.
Duke, who was notified, immediately began to raise money to buy it.
"I need a professional finance team to take care of my assets." When it comes to such a large amount of finances, he needs the help of a team of professionals.
Only external recruitment is allowed.
The way of recruitment is simple, half of them are recruited from students who study finance, and they are trained as future finance personnel. The other half was supported by various dignitaries, such as You's Clothing Company, the Light Giant Spirit Artifact Company, the Sukhtara Mage Tower, and the Penrose Mage Tower......
In a short period of time, a finance team of 25 people was formed.
After signing the deed, began to serve Duke.
"You are to be divided into three groups, one group of people to connect with my teacher, Master Suktara's finance team, and borrow money from her; A group of people docked with Runwanjia Spirit Factory, and I was given a lot of patent infringement fees; A group of people connected with Xibidiling Mining Company and bought shares. ”
"Understood, sir."
"Then let's do it!"
Duke opened his small treasury to the finance team.
He had previously cashed out the financing, saved about 60,000 gold dragons in deposits, and left 10,000 gold dragons as daily expenses, and handed over the remaining 50,000 gold dragons to the finance team.
"Professional things are left to professionals, and we, as arcane masters, don't need to worry about everything." Sukhtarati nodded.
"Teacher, it's the first time to operate such a large amount of money, so you have to be cautious."
"How much does the 1% stake be priced at Xibidi?"
"1,420,000 Golden Dragons." Duke said an astronomical amount.
"It's okay, it looks like a lot, it's actually not a lot for you, the Giant of Light must be valued at two or three million gold dragons, right?"
"I haven't calculated it carefully, but thanks to the promotion of strong light technology, the entire wind breath field is basically the market of the giant of light, and the valuation of three million should not be a problem." Duke calculated, "But I only have a 30% stake." ”
30% of three million, about 900,000 golden dragons.
"Don't forget that you still have patents for strong light technology and portable lamp technology, and companies in eleven fields have to pay royalties to you, and it is not a problem to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year." Sukhtara smiled and said, "You've become a rich man. ”
Duke smiled: "The patent fee has been flowing for a long time, and it can't be collected now." ”
"Now that the Holy City Erudite Tower is helping you promote the glare-light technology, it won't be long before the royalties will continue to flow into your pocket."
"By the way, teacher, for the share fee of 1.42 million gold dragons, I can only take out 170,000 here, and I need you to support 1.25 million gold dragons, will you have pressure on such a large amount of cash flow?"
"What pressure can I have, my mage tower can't be taken out, I still have friends who are not, I can borrow it and make it up. In short, you don't have to worry about this, leave it to the professionals to do it, and you can just follow the teacher with peace of mind. ”
"Okay." Duke replied.
Sukhtara smiled with satisfaction: "That's right. ”
For her, nothing matters now, even if the Mage Tower falls, the only thing worth paying attention to is teaching Duke.
One teaching and one learning, it is fun.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Sully's butler came to inform him that it was time to end the teaching time.
Duke was about to take his leave, and Sukhtara said as he parted: "Tomorrow we will teach normally, and in another month, we will be able to teach the direction of arcane weapon making, and I am going to go to the field to take over a job of designing and building arcane weapons, and help you master the mysteries." ”
Sukhtara was an alchemist, and although his research focused on ring replica materials, he was highly skilled in the casting of arcane objects.
Many arcane mages seek Sukhtara's help when forging arcane weapons.
"Teacher, I have a classmate Shanfis that you met at your birthday party." Duke said, "He seems to be already preparing to cast the arcane weapon, and he asked me to tell you that he would like to ask you to help me get a discount on the cost of the casting." ”
"Oh, Sanfeth wants to forge an arcane weapon, and this is a good opportunity to send it to the door." Sukhtara said happily.
"Then I'll go back and contact him?"
Sukhtara waved his hand: "Well, tell him that as long as the materials are ready, the design fee and casting fee will be waived for him." ”
"Good!"
Duke leaves.
In fact, it was not only Sanfiz who was preparing to cast an arcane weapon, but he himself was planning to cast an arcane weapon.
On Xiaoyi's schedule, in more than half a month, the third Arcane Wonder, the Healing Arcane Wonder, will be completed.
And there's still a lot of redundancy to build new arcane wonders or arcane artifacts.
Except for the sand eagle that does not occupy a place, he can build four arcane wonders or arcane weapons, and I have to say that the spirit core talent is really good.
Not unique in heaven and earth, but better than most arcane mages.
After all, some 1-ring arcane mages may only be able to build two arcane wonders in the ring track, and even some extreme ones can only build one arcane wonder.
Defensive arcane has arcane shields, camouflage arcane has illusions, and healing arcanes have healing.
Offensive arcane, with a ring of sand eagles instead, no need to build.
Therefore, Duke no longer needs to build a fourth arcane wonder, after all, there are not many arcane arts at the level of 1 ring, which are really good.
Or tailor-made, it is more valuable to design an acantho.
It's just that Duke already has a ring of sand eagles on the surface, saying that it is a relic inherited from the ancestors of the arcane mage, so it naturally wants to occupy a position.
If you cast another arcane weapon, I am afraid it will attract unnecessary attention.
After all, no matter how bad the brain of the 1st Ring Arcane Mage is, he will not cast two arcane weapons to occupy the position - the arcane weapon can't be instantaneous, it's just a piece of equipment that he carries with him.
"Help Shanfiz to cast an arcane weapon, learn all the techniques in the process, and then Xiaoyi and I will cast an arcane weapon by ourselves!"
He already had a plan in mind.
If there is no Xiaoyi, you will never dare to design and cast arcane weapons indiscriminately, but with Xiaoyi's help, everything is possible.
At noon the next day, he took the time to go to Scott's Tower and found Sanfis who was operating on a patient.
The owner of the Mage Tower, the 3-ring mage Scott Yihu, is not only a life scholar, but also the chairman of the Shenjiao City Hospital. The hospital was built in the castle of the Mage's Tower, so that Scottrade could treat patients whenever and wherever they wanted.
"Duke, why are you here?" Sanfeth took off his white lab coat and led Duke into his office.
"Come and see, how are you doing studying medicine?"
"It's okay, at least it's more experienced than card making, and it's faster to get started." Shanfiz is much calmer than before, "It's that my heart is always heavy, and spirituality nourishes all things, but spirituality is not omnipotent, and some diseases are powerless. ”
"It's gratifying to see that you can empathize with ordinary people."
Shanfiz rolled his eyes: "Why can't I empathize with ordinary people, I'm from an ordinary person's background, oh yes, also, don't talk to me like an old man, what are you very pleased, as if I'm a generation younger than you." ”
"But I'm really pleased...... And I am full of admiration for His Excellency Scott Winged Tiger, there are not many arcane mages who are willing to develop ordinary medicine. ”
"You might as well admire me, I'm the one who really studies medicine to heal ordinary people, and as for my mentor......" Shanfiz approached Duke and whispered, "I think that according to the current research direction of the Mage Tower, it won't be long before the master will be removed from the Faling Tower." ”
Duke was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
Shanfeisi said with a chattering god: "Do you know, my mentor's favorite thing to do is to dissect corpses, he wants to find the location of the Spirit Sea, the Blood Sea and the Qi Sea, and thinks that if he finds the location, it will be easy to open the Three Seas!" ”
"Isn't it......"
"Alas, in short, I plan to leave the Mage Tower as soon as the three-year training period is over, open a hospital on my own, and do research on basic diseases for ordinary people."
He spread his hands helplessly and added: "I don't want to wander on the edge of forbidden experiments, I haven't enjoyed enough of the good life!" ”
"You're right with that plan, don't take any chances." Duke replied, "Something happened to Lord Scott, and Lord Stephen Winged Tiger covered it up for him, even if the Faling Tower removed him, it would not prevent him from living well, civilians like you and me are different." ”
"Of course I do."
Shanfeisi has a detached temperament, but he is not stupid at all, and directly diverts the topic: "Duke, you say, is it because of my background that my fate is so bumpy?" ”
Duke had a question mark on his face, unknown so.
Shanfiz continued: "You say, it's just that aristocratic beauties like Kiria Fury and Joanna Lynx ignore me, why don't the ugly female arcane mages ignore me, can't I really chase a female arcane mage?" ”
"Well, it's hard for me to answer this question, I'm single too." Duke wasn't telling the truth.
Because the truth is a bit shocking, Shanfiz is average-looking, average-born, and even more average-talented, and it is natural that there is no female arcane mage to look at it.
Women who can be promoted to arcane mages are by no means coaxed by a clever mouth and a few sweet words.
"Although you are single, there are a lot of female mages around you!" Shanfes's face was full of envy and jealousy, "Kyria Futao only smiles at you, and Joanna Lynx revolves around you, why...... Forget it, I think I can accept the title of scholar at the age of eighteen. ”
"Alright, Sanfel, let's stop talking nonsense and get down to business."
"Ah, isn't it a serious matter to get off the list?" Shanfiz was surprised, "The most important thing in my life now is to get off the list!" ”
“…… Calculate. ”
"That's right, men should get married, women should get married, Duke don't look at us as young, but time flies quickly, and we will be old when we are swaying."
"Yes, in another seventy or eighty years, we will be old."
After chatting a bunch of nonsense, Duke finally brought the topic back on track: "Sanfes, didn't you say before that you would ask my teacher to help you cast arcane weapons?" ”
"yes." Sanfez nodded, "I'm raising money, before the Giant of Light financed, I lent you all my small treasury, and now I don't have much money on hand." ”
"Can you get the materials together?"
"Seventy-seven-eighty-eight, the main materials, especially those spiritual gold, I have already prepared, that is, the key spiritual materials that may be added to the design plan, I am afraid that I will not be able to buy them for a while." Sanfiz said he was just a student.
A few years before Duke, he was promoted to the arcane mage, and he has been going around in the mage tower, and he has not finished his training yet.
So I didn't save much of a golden dragon.
"It's okay, it's just my teacher's side that has a chance." Duke said, "The teacher was going to take over a job from out of town, and he just happened to take me to start teaching. I said that you want to cast an arcane weapon, and the teacher will not charge me for the face, as long as you prepare the materials yourself. ”
"Really, that's great!" Shanfeisi was pleasantly surprised, "This back and forth can save tens of thousands of gold dragons!" ”
The material cost of a 1-ring Olympic weapon is only tens of thousands of gold dragons, and the cheaper 10,000 gold dragons can be gathered.
The main reason is that the design fee and casting fee are relatively expensive.
"Then it's decided, after you have gathered the materials, you can go to the Suktara Mage Tower when you have time and talk about the idea of the arcane weapon."
"Haha, good!"
……
"Duke."
"Is there anything wrong, Kiria?" Duke received Kiria Fury in his office, who knocked on the door, "You rarely come to my office. ”
"I've just completed the reorganization of my exclusive meditation method, and I've spent all my time cultivating, so it's true that I don't have much communication with everyone."
"It's a good thing that you've reorganized your exclusive meditation method."
"It's far worse than what you did then." Kiria was a little disappointed in her heart, and the more she compared, the more she felt that there was a big gap with Duke.
The time it took for Duke to reorganize the meditation method, the speed at which he comprehended the Guardian Mystic Vine, and the number of visions in the meditation method were all breathtaking.
She has the heart to catch up.
It's just that she has no heart, so far, she still goes to the United Tower from time to time, observing the 3-ring tree king - the mysterious vine from bottom to top, from top to bottom, and wants to comprehend the special vision of the guardian mysterious vine, but unfortunately she can't.
In the entire Black Jiaohe Land, the arcane mages who have comprehended the vine of protection and mystery can be counted on one hand.
"You don't need to compare with me, I'm just lucky." Duke smiled and blamed luck on everything.
Although it is a modest tone, the words that come out make people even more depressed.
"Spiritual favor, maybe this is spiritual favor." Kiria adjusted her emotions and smiled slightly, "I'm here to invite you to the Keystone Mage Tower, and my grandfather wants to meet the new shareholders of Xibidi." ”
Duke was surprised: "Lord Keystone wants to see me?" ”
"Yes, during this time, the hottest topic of conversation among the arcane mages in the entire Shenjiao City is you."
"I'm scared." Duke nodded in response, "When is the time, I'll go back and prepare." ”
"Tomorrow night."
"Okay."
"Then I won't bother you." Kiriya stood up.
"Walk slowly." Duke stood up.
Seeing Kiria leave the office, the charming figure looming under the arcane mage's robe always made him reverie.
When he returned in the evening, he told Sukhtara that he was going to the Keystone Mage Tower for a feast.
Sukhtara smiled: "Lord Keystone is the chairman of Xibidi, and meeting the new shareholders is the meaning of the question, so you don't have to be nervous about anything." ”
"I don't have any nervousness." Duke replied.
"Don't have a feeling of meeting parents?"
"Uh, no."
"Really?" Sukhtara teased, "My Fair Lady and Gentleman, Kiriya Futao is a flower in Shenjiao City, don't you have any special ideas?" ”
If Duke had been a normal young man, he might have blushed.
But he's not.
just replied calmly: "Teacher, if you want to say that you have no ideas, this is not normal, the love of men and women is certainly what I love." However, I am still young, and the most important thing is to practice and study, so as for the relationship between men and women, let it be. ”
"I understand your thinking, and I support you in putting your career at the top of the list." As he spoke, Suktara sighed, "But the teacher will give you a suggestion as a person who has come over, love while you are young." ”
Duke Moran.
Sukhtara continued, "Don't always think that the arcane mage has a long lifespan, you can wait, wait, wait, ”
This point of view is quite consistent with Sanfez's concept.
Duke humbly accepted: "I am not a person who is emotionally ambiguous, teacher, you can rest assured, go with the flow is not cowering, I will not be ambiguous when it is time to act." ”
"That's right!" Suktara praised, "This is the teacher's good student, a flower in Shenjiao City should be plucked by my students and stay in Shenjiao City, but don't be picked away by the arcane master from other cities, you must know that the Nutao family likes to engage in marriage the most." ”
The fief of the Nutao family is in Shenjiao City, and it is one of the first big nobles to build Shenjiao City.
After all, compared to the little income from the fiefdom, how can it be faster than participating in the operation of the entire Shenjiao City to make money.
As the top nobles in Shenjiao City, the Nutao family often marries nobles from other cities.
Hammer and hammer.
After work the next day, Duke and Kiria rode in the same shuttle to the Keystone Mage Tower.
The Keystone Mage Tower is the tallest building in Shenjiao City, three or four hundred meters high, and it is still built on a hill, often shrouded in clouds and mist.
The castle around the Mage Tower stretches over a large area, enveloping the entire mountain.
It seems that this is no longer a mountain, but a mountain of castles, in which at least a hundred thousand people live.
After the shuttle drove into the castle, he circled around and flew to the Mage Tower, where the butler was already waiting for Kiria and Duke at the door.
"Miss Kiriya, Lord Duke, the lord has not yet returned, and I would like to signal Miss Kiria to take Lord Duke to visit the Mage Tower first."
"Okay." Kiria nodded.
Duke followed Kiria and toured the magnificent mage tower, which was not much different from the other mage towers on the inside compared to the grandeur on the outside.
Tall columns, thick walls, opulent decorations.
But look closely.
Able to see a slight difference, Duke touched the wall and suddenly asked, "Kiriya, this mage tower has the breath of a living creature, is it a tower spirit?" ”
Xiao Yi hung up the breathing method, and with the help of the ubiquitous spiritual plants in the tower, he had outlined all the areas, generated a map, and played it on the Douqi holographic screen. This allows Duke to intuitively see the changes in the forces of nature.
Inside the entire Mage Tower, there was a special force of nature that had been eyeing him from the moment he first entered it.
As Duke ascended the stairs, the force of nature shifted gears and continued to stare at him.
After carefully analyzing the feedback from the breathing method, Xiao Yi determined that this force of nature was emanating from the walls of this mage tower.
"Can you feel Grandpa Ironhead?" Kiria was surprised.
"Grandpa Ironhead?"
Under Duke's curious gaze, Kiria clapped her hands against the wall, and then shouted loudly, "Grandpa Ironhead, Kiria, please come out and meet you!" ”
Then the two waited together.
But after waiting for a while, there was no movement.
Duke couldn't help but look at Kiria, and on the Douqi holographic screen, the force of nature staring at him was swimming in the nearby wall, but it didn't mean to show up.
Kiriya smiled awkwardly: "It seems that Grandpa Ironhead doesn't plan to come out to meet." ”
"Grandpa Ironhead is Ta Ling, an ancient spirit?"
"Yes."
"What does it look like?"
"Grandpa Ironhead is a fish, do you know the phantom of ancient times, and the armor fish in it may be the species of Grandpa Ironhead." Kiriya said, "Grandpa Ironhead has been a Taling for a longer time than my grandfather, and he doesn't want to come out, and no one can shout out. ”
"The armor fish is the armor fish in the sea of fish, right?"
"Yes."
The phantom of ancient times, including the various periods of the ancient era, there is the ocean of insects, the sea of fish, the forest of ferns, the source of frogs, the forest of dinosaurs, the sky of birds, etc., like the process of life development, which was filmed into a movie by the spring of spirituality.
Play it every now and then.
"Then you know the Sea of Fish, your ancestors must have experienced the Sea of Fish, right?" Duke began to inquire about the news.
He had experienced the Ocean of Worms in the Valley of the Green Sea, and when he returned, he had been watching closely to see what the Arcane Mages had to say about it.
It turned out that when the Worm Ocean erupted, he might have been the only arcane mage in the entire Emerald Sea Valley at that time.
In other words, he was the only one who saw the outbreak of the Worm Ocean.
At most, in his spare time, he will let Xiaoyi replay the saved images in the spiritual sea, and then savor it carefully, taste all this virtual shadow, where the root comes from.
"I really don't know about this, I have known the existence of Grandpa Tietou since I was a child, but I haven't carefully explored the origin of Grandpa Tietou." Kiria shook her head.
It's like many people see the sun every day, but never think about what the sun is.
Duke was about to continue asking.
Suddenly, a loud voice came: "A group of ghosts hundreds of millions of years ago were trapped in the safe of the spiritual spring, and when the time was up, the lock of the safe was opened, and they turned dripping and turning, repeating the memories of their lives, and turning in time and space hundreds of millions of years later." ”
It's Keystone Fury, up the stairs.
He beckoned slightly to the wall, and the next moment, a huge transparent fish composed of luminous light burst out of the wall.
The big fish was silent like a ghost, and quickly swam in front of Duke and Kiria, and the light outlined its body, and it could be clearly seen that its entire head was wrapped in bone armor, and its body did not have fish scales, but fine bone armor.
A pair of eyes on the fish's head, flashing with a deep blue light, looked at Duke deeply.
Then taking advantage of Duke's stunned moment, he crashed headlong into Duke.
Before Duke could react, the seven or eight-meter-long fish passed through his and Kiria's bodies and crashed into another wall.
Then it burrowed out of the far wall, swam nimbly, and eventually hovered behind Keystone.
Keystone had walked up, his lion-king blonde hair, just like Kiria's big wavy blond hair.
Only the snow-white beard could tell that he was already old.
"A group of sad fish, not knowing that they are just trapped memories of ancient times, poor but dangerous, if you swim with them, you may end up trapped in the spiritual spring, become a ghost like them, or be taken hundreds of millions of years ago, lonely to old age."
Keystone just finished speaking.
The big fish hovering behind him, that is, the iron-headed grandfather, suddenly opened his mouth and made a buzzing sound: "Zifei fish, the joy of Anzhi fish!" ”
"Old Iron Head, I don't know if the fish is happy or not, but I know that I am definitely not happy to be a ghost, you better stay inside the wall honestly, don't try to bewitch me all day long, join your ranks and become a ghost."
"Zi Fei Fish, the joy of Anzhi Fish!" Grandpa Ironhead swung his armored fish head as if he was too lazy to argue with Keystone.
Then he plunged headlong into the wall and disappeared.
Duke only then found an opportunity and bowed, "Lord Keystone." ”
"No need to be polite." Keystone squinted his eyes at Duke and said happily, "The youngest scholar in the field of wind breath, just looking at this appearance, is indeed quite good, much more pleasing to the eye than those crooked and cracked mages." ”
"Your Excellency praised it."
"What's polite, whether you're handsome or not, isn't it something you can tell with your eyes, who dared to say that I'm not handsome when I was young, I will give him two big ears when I go up, and I hate dishonest people the most." Keystone seemed to be joking.
But it feels like I'm serious.
Duke smiled lightly and replied, "I think so, we should respect different aesthetics and show more care for the blind." ”
"Good boy, I'm really not confident when you're not confident!" Keystone laughed, "Let's go, little Duke, little Kiria, take you to Genting Gardens to watch the sunset." ”
