Chapter 218: Naturalist Conference
For nearly two days, the airship flew zigzag along the route between cities, without stopping for a moment.
Eating, drinking, and Lazar are all settled in the air.
During this period, there were flying spirit beasts that came to peep, and without Duke making a move, the big knights and card warriors on the airship killed the spirit beasts.
Then a few arcane mages tasted the fresh spirit beast roast.
"Here, sir, I've seen Runwu City!" Mulali leaned on the porthole, looking out at the city skyline looming in the distance.
The most conspicuous are several mage towers that rise above the hills.
One of the mage towers is no less magnificent than the Keystone Mage Tower, and it is also a mage tower in the shape of a twin tower.
The castle is connected and stands two mage towers.
This kind of Gemini Mage Tower shows that this family currently has at least two arcane mages with 4 rings and above, otherwise there is no need to build two mage towers.
"Two arcane mages with 4 rings and above, this is probably the Drizzle family." Duke got up, walked over to the porthole, and looked ahead.
When I chatted with Cowley and others before, I also knew some general information about Runwu City.
The Wind Breath Domain has eight regions, each of which has a central city, such as Shenjiao City in the Black Jiaohe River.
The central city of the Red Sea region is the city of Runwu, and at the same time, the city of Runwu is also the central city of the entire Fengxi realm, built on the edge of a spiritual river - the river of spirituality, which is the top spiritual spring, flowing outward like a river.
A large spiritual fountain that feeds millions of people.
Then the river of spirituality can feed at least tens of millions of people.
So far, the Federation of the Seven Towers has only found twelve spiritual rivers within its territory, so it has only divided into twelve realms.
In fact, with the strength of the Seven Towers Federation Mage, he was able to explore the wider area of the Barren Forest and find more spiritual rivers.
However, there are few people and many places, and they can't manage it.
At present, within the twelve realms, there are still huge primeval forests, giving birth to countless spirit beasts, which need to be cleared regularly. Once the eradication is not timely, the beast tide may break out at any time, which will pose a huge threat to nearby cities and market towns.
Population has always been the main factor restricting the development of the Seven Towers Federation.
And what restricts the development of the population is the spiritual spring, without the spiritual spring to cultivate the arcane masters, even if the population increases greatly, it will not be able to control the vast forest.
"Therefore, the Federation of the Seven Towers intends to sink the fruits of the spiritual arcane law step by step through the Erudite Tower to the people, I am afraid that the people can also grasp part of the power of the arcane law, so as to obtain the power to arm themselves."
Only when the people have the ability to protect themselves, so that ordinary people can also participate in the defense of the territory, can they liberate the footsteps of the arcane mage, and continue to expedition and explore.
For a moment, Duke's thoughts diverged a little.
"Runwu City is really big, it feels several times bigger than Shenjiao City." Mula Shan also came over, and together with Mula Li, she sighed at the destination.
Duke was also a little excited, and the city was truly astounding.
The population of Runwu City is at least one or two hundred million, and the mage towers and castles around the city alone are probably home to millions of people.
Towers of mages towers and castles with mountains.
Like a satellite, it guards the grand city above the rolling hills ahead, with clusters of high-rise buildings, streets in all directions, and occasionally tower-shaped buildings that are equally towering.
In particular, the most central area is like a Tallinn made up of tall towers.
The towers were so dense that Duke suspected that the Armages, or the Grand Knights, could even jump from one tower to another.
Vivien was standing in front of another porthole, and suddenly, she exclaimed, "My lord, look up at the sky, you can see the floating city through the gap in the clouds!" ”
"Floating City?" Duke's eyes lit up.
Then he looked up at the city above Runwu City, and sure enough, in the gap between a few white clouds floating, he vaguely saw a huge gray building.
I can't see the whole picture, but I can feel that it is vast and huge, giving people a strong sense of visual impact.
"It's Mountain Kagome Floating City!"
Duke said softly, his tone full of amazement.
But Vivien could hear that there was a hint of fanaticism in Duke's exclamation, the kind of "he can take his place" frenzy.
"Sir, can you tell me about the Floating City of Shankagome, I have heard of this floating city since I was a child, but I don't know much about it." Mulali said.
Duke nodded.
While it was still some time before the airship made a pit stop, he told him what he knew about the floating city of Sangovey.
Gove is a peculiar plant.
Generally, it grows in mountainous areas where gold, silver, copper, and iron ore exist, and the more desolate the place, the better the mountain kagome grows.
If Kagome is found, it means that there must be a deposit underground.
At the same time, Spirit Plant Mountain Kagome can make a potion of the same name, which can help spirit beasts break through the shackles, and is a favorite potion of knights. It's a pity that the mountain kagome is scarce, and the mountain kagome potion is even less, and it is basically monopolized by the big nobles.
This floating city named after Mountain Kagome is owned by Loren Mountain Kagome.
In the entire Wind Breath Realm, there is only one Arcane Mentor - the 7-Ring Morning Star Arcane Mentor, the Puppet Sage, the Formation Sage, the Chief Governor of the United Tower of Runwu City, the Overseer of the Seven Towers Federation Observation Tower in the Wind Breath Domain, and the Offa Tower Member.
"Mentor Loren Sangoveoffa, born in Weimo, is the youngest son of a 0-ring knight, and his parents gave birth to him during their adventures......"
Who would have thought that this inconspicuous small family would eventually cultivate a towering arcane giant.
After Loren opened the spiritual sea, he soon showed outstanding talent, and was promoted to arcane mage at the age of eighteen, and then he was promoted to the 6-ring sky arcane mage step by step in ten or twenty years, and was named an earl because he participated in many pioneering wars.
So he gave himself and his family the surname "Shan Kagome".
It is said that his father once wanted a mountain kagome potion to help his contract partner break through the 1st ring and thus be promoted to the 1st ring knight.
It's a pity that until the adventure failed and died, this wish was not fulfilled.
"Later, Mentor Loren broke the shackles of fate, promoted to the 7-Ring Morning Star Arcane Mentor, and built this Mountain Kagome Floating City for himself, and finally became a generation of legends in the Wind Breath Realm and even the entire Seven Towers Federation." Duke sighed.
In the spiritual arcane system, the cultivation system of the arcane mage has nine levels.
1 Ring Beginner Arcane, 2 Ring Intermediate Arcane, 3 Ring Advanced Arcane, these three classes are collectively referred to as ordinary Arcanes.
The 4 Rings of the Earth Arcane Mage, the 5 Ring of the Ocean Arcane Mage, and the 6 Rings of the Sky Arcane Mage, these three classes are collectively referred to as the Great Arcane Mage.
The 7-ringed Morning Star Arcane Teacher, the 8-Ring Radiant Moon Arcane Teacher, and the 9 Ring Sun Arcane Teacher, these three classes are collectively referred to as the Arcane Teacher.
But the entire human civilization, eighteen state regimes.
The 9-Ringed Arcane Mentor has not yet been born, and the 8-Ring Radiant Moon Arcane Mentor is the limit of human beings climbing to the heights in the spiritual arcane.
"Our human exploration in the realm of spiritual arcane has not yet touched the true core, but even if the 9 rings are not out, the 7 rings and 8 rings are still unimaginable heights for ordinary people, and the path of every arcane teacher is related to the fate of all mankind."
Duke whispered the information about the floating city of Mountain Kagome, but there was an irrepressible sense of pride in his heart.
A sense of mission that is no one else.
Others can still walk to the height of the 7th and 8th rings without the assistance of any golden finger, but he has the small art of the nine rings.
A companion weapon that combines the earth's artificial intelligence technology with the underlying logic of the reckless world.
"My cultivation path will definitely be able to reach the 9 rings, so as to enlighten and lead the spiritual arcane law of the reckless world to a new height!"
At the thought of this, Duke felt his body tremble faintly.
On Earth, he is just a little boss who eats, drinks, and has fun all day long. But here, he has the opportunity to become the leader of human civilization, to become the prophet of spiritual mysteries, and to be the light of the entire reckless world!
How magnificent!
"Xiaoyi, we can do it, right?"
"Yes master, we will definitely be the light of the reckless world, and the power will shine on the whole world, so that everyone will be bathed in the light of you, master."
With the continuous improvement of Duke's own hardware and the continuous expansion of knowledge in the database, Xiaoyi's skills have become more and more proficient.
In just a few words, Duke was heartbroken.
"Sir." Mulari's question interrupted Duke's obscenity, "Do we have a chance to visit the Sky City of Sangome?" ”
Coming back to his senses, Duke's surging emotions quickly subsided.
When he turned his head, his face had already recovered his lightness: "I'm afraid I don't have a chance, Loren Shan Govi Arca Mentor, at least half of the year works in the Archam Holy City, and the remaining half of the time, he has to find time to tour all parts of the Federation, and there is very little time to really live in the Floating City." ”
There was a pause.
He continued, "And even if Mentor Loren is in Floating City, there is no reason for us to visit him, there are too many people who want to visit him. ”
"That's a shame." Mu Lashan sighed on the side.
Mu Lali snorted directly: "What is a pity, when Mr. cultivates to the arcane master, he can still build a floating city, maybe Mr. will also build a dungeon, a crystal palace, etc., a different mage tower!" ”
The Floating City is a type of Mage Tower, and compared to the Mage Tower on land, the manufacturing materials of the Floating City are special, and it is equivalent to an arcane weapon.
The underground dungeon and the crystal palace built in the water are all special mage towers similar to the floating city.
There are even some arcane instructors who simply combine their warships with mage towers and transform them into flying fortresses, which can do everything from heaven to earth, rivers and seas.
"You two, you're thinking too far ahead." Duke rubbed the hair of the two girls, one left and one right.
Then he strode out of the luxurious cabin.
At this time, the airship had already landed at the flight station on the outskirts of Runwu City, and Cowley, Dinkig, Azgul and other arcane mages had already disembarked from the airship, and Duke and his entourage converged over.
"Is this Lord Cowley?" A group of people came from the flying station, the first of whom was dressed in arcane mage's robes.
"I'm Cowley, are you?"
"You can call me Taylor, Lord Cowley, and the scholars, I am the Runwu City Erudite Tower responsible for your reception."
"It turned out to be Lord Taylor."
"Excellencies, please follow me to the shuttle, the Erudite Tower has prepared a big hotel for you to stay in." Taylor was in charge of receiving several arcane masters, and the staff of the Erudite Tower he brought with him helped arrange the entourage of Duke and the others.
After a moment of confusion, everyone sat in the shuttle convoy in turn.
Duke sat in the same large shuttle with Cowley and others, and Taylor arranged for the waiter to bring water and tea, and a bunch of small snacks.
Perhaps because he is used to doing reception work, Taylor's service is warm and thoughtful.
At the end, Taylor looked at Duke with a smile: "Your Excellency Duke, you are now the object of our 1-ring mage's study, and the strong light technology you invented has made the night of our Moisturizing City a city that never sleeps during the day, which is too dreamy." ”
"As luck would have it, I just pierced a layer of window paper." Duke responded with a smile.
Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a huge slide card billboard on the street, showing a beautiful woman dancing under the street lamp.
Next to it is the advertising slogan of the picture: "Giant of Light, illuminating the dreams of millions of families." ”
The advertising slogan has been upgraded, originally to illuminate the way home for tens of millions, and now it is to illuminate the dreams of millions of families. However, the taste of advertising is still very vulgar, that is, to choose the most beautiful and sexy models to attract the attention of passers-by.
Taylor noticed Duke's gaze.
He glanced at the advertisement that quickly wiped outside the window, and said with a smile: "The products of the Giant of Light are in short supply, including our Erudite Tower, all the lamps and lanterns are purchased from the Giant of Light, in the field of light sources, Lord Duke, you are a well-deserved giant." ”
Duke smiled and accepted the compliment.
However, it seemed that from not far away, there was a slight cold snort, and you didn't need to look at Duke to know that it must have been from Azgul.
Along the way, he didn't say a word to Azgul.
Azgul also turned a blind eye to him.
After Ranwanjia took most of the responsibility for the sale of Clelinda's shares, it alleviated the previous decline, but the interests of shareholders were not less damaged.
Moreover, after this battle, Runwanjia has shown its decline, but the giant of light is like the rising sun, showing his strength.
Many shareholders have already had the idea of withdrawing from Runwanjia, and the danger of overturning has become clear.
Not much.
The shuttle arrived at the Polymath Tower in Runwu City.
Duke and the others were arranged in the Drizzle Hotel near the Boxue Tower, in the exclusive Arcane Suite, which had a spiritual spring water pipe to directly attract aura, so that each suite maintained a full concentration of aura, which could be used by the Armager to cultivate with peace of mind.
"Wow, sir, what a big suite here!" Mulali exclaimed.
Compared with the Shenjiao City Hotel, the Drizzle Hotel is a grade more luxurious, considering that Runwu City is the central city, it is also a matter of course.
Duke walked around the suite and left it.
It's already nine o'clock in the morning, and an hour after the Runwu City Naturalist Conference, it will be held in the Boxue Tower.
"Duke, ready?"
"All right, Lord Cowley, let's go to the Erudite Tower?"
"Hmm."
Cowley led the team, a group of seven polymaths from Shenjiao City, and soon left the Drizzle Hotel and went to the Erudite Tower of Runwu City.
There is a special person to guide, and you can take the spirit ladder directly to the academic hall on the top floor.
Cowley and the others quickly greeted the arcane mages they knew well, Duke was a pure newcomer, and he didn't know a foreign polymath.
He also doesn't like to be forced to socialize.
Besides, the polymath in the field is not young anymore, and there is really a generation gap in communication.
So I sat down in a corner in the academic hall alone, and waited silently for the conference to begin.
Ten o'clock was soon in coming.
All the polymath found their seats, sitting together in twos and threes and whispering.
"Ahem." It wasn't until several gray-haired arcane mages walked in and coughed softly that the Erudito stopped talking.
One of them, the oldest polymath, walked up to the podium.
Glancing at the audience, he waited until the audience was quiet and could hear the sound of needles falling on the ground, and then he slowly spoke: "Very good, this year's naturalist conference, the people are quite neat." According to the convention, introduce yourself, the chief director of the old man Runwu City Polymath Tower, Jefferson Yanque. ”
Duke in the audience was awe-inspiring.
Jefferson Rock Sparrow, 6-Ring Sky Arcane - At the level of 6 Rings, Arcane can already fly in the flesh.
"In this hot summer this year, I thought it was still you old faces, but surprises are always everywhere, and a shining star has broken in."
Jefferson Rock Sparrow said, suddenly glancing at the academic hall: "Who is the new polymath who invented the technology of bright light, Duke?" ”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Duke sitting in the corner.
The other arcane mages also turned their heads and looked in Duke's direction.
Duke was a little surprised by the opening salute, but he stood up calmly and nodded around.
"Sure enough, it's a young and excessively young face, come on, come on stage, and I'll do the first academic report for you today."
Jefferson invited directly on the stage, and after the invitation, he stepped off the stage and sat in the empty seat in the first row of the academic hall.
"Forehead ......"
Duke was stunned for a moment, and he thought that Jefferson would have to ramble for at least half an hour, and then the other directors would come over and warm up the scene before inviting the polymaths to give academic speeches.
Who knew that Jefferson only said a few words, and then he stepped down.
"Sure enough, the arcane mages who have lived for a long time are more ...... Be spontaneous. Duke complained in his heart, but he didn't waste time.
Leave your seat and stride up to the podium.
"It's a bit sudden." Duke faced the audience with a charming smile on his handsome face, "I was ready to applaud in the audience, but I didn't expect to be invited by the chief director to give the first academic report." ”
Clear your throat.
Duke continued: "When I was a child, I lived in the Snake Head Township Welfare Home, which is a small border town where my friends loved to play, but I liked to look up at the sky......
It's still the same story from before.
"I always have a lot to think about...... When I got older, I went to work in a card repair shop...... Why are toning boxes so expensive? ”
Too young, too few stories.
Especially before Duke's crossing, the story of his predecessor was almost lackluster, so he could only revisit the old story over and over again.
"One Awakening Elixir costs 23 Silver Dragons."
"These 23 silver dragons helped me light a lamp and illuminate me and the world I live in, it turns out that it is not so ordinary!"
Duke didn't like to stand up and speak, and he paced from the podium.
Looking at the back, I saw that there was only a wall behind it, and the slide card was playing several background promotional pictures of the naturalist conference.
This made him have the idea that maybe the next time he attends an academic conference, he can make a PPT slide, so that the audience can fully immerse himself in the light and shadow story he sketched - after all, just by talking about it, the sense of substitution is slightly weak.
"During my spiritual apprenticeship, I lived on a farm...... I forgot to tell you that I was actually a 2-ring elf envoy, and during the Tsui Hai Valley Pioneer War, a lost elf came to my door, and it told me that it saw light here. ”
"Light!"
"Maybe I have an indissoluble bond with the light."
"The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find the light." Duke recited a poem, "I often think that maybe it was the dim night of the orphanage that gave me the idea of exploring light and trying to master the light myself." ”
"I invented the portable lamp...... I also invented the technology of glare. ”
"The newspapers praised me as the child of the sun, but who knew that the son of the sun was once just a child who was afraid of the dark."
Duke laughed confidently: "Just the night before yesterday, the airship flew over a market town, I looked down on this market town, and saw that the streets had been replaced with strong street lights, and my heart suddenly felt happy, I can't say that I brought light, but I really raised the brightness." ”
At this point, he paused deliberately.
Smack.
Someone in the audience understood and gave Duke a round of applause, and then a large amount of applause rang out in the academic hall, which was not very neat.
The naturalist conference was attended by polymaths, adding up to more than a hundred people.
Duke is not afraid, and he is not afraid of being nervous and forgetting words, because Xiaoyi's vindictive holographic screen prompted him throughout the whole process.
After the applause subsided, he continued to speak with a smile: "Naturalism is an ancient science, maybe it has not been around for a long time in the Seven Towers Federation, but it is related to all the contents of human daily life, and it is the cornerstone of promoting social development. ”
"I think that the space for the development of naturalism is as vast as the sea, so even a newcomer like me can make a name for himself in naturalism."
Duke shook the collar of his clothes and said, "I'm actually a card maker, when I was researching the slide card, I was thinking, the spirit lamp is a spiritual artifact that was invented by intercepting the luminous structure in the slide card, so wouldn't it be able to emit brighter light with a few more structures?" ”
After all, academic reports and speeches must return to the academic itself.
Duke clearly recognized this, so the sensational motivational speech ended, followed by a further elaboration of the glare-light technology.
But in order to make the boring academic content more interesting.
Duke introduces the story of the Battle of the Lights.
"The Giant of Light has been constantly suppressed by Runwanjia, although my family and friends have firmly supported me, even if I fail, I can still start over, but I am always under a lot of pressure, I don't want to disappoint them, and I don't want to let myself down."
"In those days, I couldn't get involved in business competition, but every night I thought hard about how to defeat the enemy!"
"Eventually, I came up with the slide card and the strong light technology of the tandem light-emitting structure!"
“……”
"I think you all already know the end." Duke looked at the polymaths who were intrigued by his story.
and Azgul, whose face is hard to see to the extreme.
Easily gave his academic report an end to the end: "As soon as the strong light technology came out, the strong light light swept the market, and the Erudite Tower of the Arcane Holy City helped me promote the technology, and the Giant of Light won the entire market in the field of wind breath in one fell swoop!" ”
"I've won a big victory!"
"Light has finally triumphed over darkness!"
Facing the audience, bowing slightly, Duke finally said: "The above is my academic report today, "The orphans in the welfare home are transformed into light, dispelling a touch of darkness in the corner of society - the mind and thinking of inventing strong light technology". ”
Bang la blah.
The applause was very warm, and the erudite scholars gave a cordial recognition to Duke, a young and excessive polymath.
I bowed several times on the stage in a row, and when I returned to the stage, there was still applause that did not stop.
After Duke sat down, he was very satisfied with his speech, and he also sighed in his heart: "What era is about packaging, my speech, the name of the son of the sun is afraid to be confirmed...... I don't know when I will be able to go to the Holy City of Alpha to speak! ”
The speech is indeed a pleasure.
He now really understands what it was like to travel through the celebrities of the previous earth and give speeches everywhere, which, in Maslow's hierarchy of needs, is the need for self-actualization.
"After a speech, my whole person seemed to be sublimated."
By the time another polymath came to the stage to give a presentation, Duke was still immersed in his own speech.
Even when he looked at his spiritual sea, he could see that the spiritual core was shining, as if it had been wiped once.
Arcane Masters need to constantly recognize the spiritual arcane, and at the same time, they also need to constantly affirm their own knowledge, and always think about it in order to be new for a long time.
