Whale Song Mirror Lake, the largest spiritual spring in the Seven Towers Federation and even the eighteen human kingdoms in the entire Barren Continent.

This huge lake is named after the whale song, because there are really whales living in its water.

Compared to the sea, the Whale Song Mirror Lake is too small and too small.

And the reason why whales can survive here is because there is a top-level spiritual spring under this lake. The rich spirituality nourishes the lake above, allowing the small lake to maintain the top ecological circle.

"Two thousand years ago, the Armages pioneered here, and were quickly drawn to the lake, believing that the Arcans would prosper from here and move the federal capital here. Two thousand years have passed, and the Seven Towers Federation has indeed flourished, and there are already twelve realms. ”

Siscoli gave a brief introduction.

The system of the Federation of the Seven Towers is somewhat similar to that of Millican, with a high degree of autonomy in all domains, regions, and even market towns, but the overall rights are all in the Ofa Holy City.

After all.

The seven towers of the Federation of Seven Towers all stand in this city of lakes.

One of the towers, located in the middle of the city, towers into the sky, reaching at least three thousand meters to the naked eye.

As thin as a spear, piercing the sky.

"That is the Tower of Offah, and all of humanity's knowledge of spiritual arcane is gathered in this supreme tower and sealed. Everything can be found here, and it contains all the knowledge of the Arcane civilization! ”

Siscoli pointed to the tower that pierced the clouds in the arcane holy city at the far end, and said happily: "There is an arcane mage, who has lived on this tower all his life, and has never come down once, and his knowledge cannot be studied in a lifetime. ”

"Tsk." Duke was shocked.

But after all, he watched a lot of science fiction movies in his previous life, and this magnificent holy city did not exceed his imagination.

He just asked, "Will my investiture ceremony be held at Offata?" ”

"How is that possible!" Siscoli couldn't help but retort, "The title of sage is not enough to be canonized in the Offa Tower, only the chief sage of the Offata can be canonized here. ”

However, he quickly added: "In addition, the selection of the Valhalla Temple is also held here, of course...... Most of the inductees are ancestors who have passed away for many years, and have made indelible contributions to the spiritual arcane law and the Seven Towers Federation. ”

"Hmm, I see." Duke nodded.

I thought to myself, I don't know when I will be qualified to become the chief sage of the Offa Tower-this is basically the "academician" of the Federation of the Seven Towers.

As for being selected for the Valhalla Temple, it is probably similar to the level of the Wenwu Temple.

The battleship Blue did not sail into the Whale Song Mirror Lake, but landed at the southwest side of the Whale Song Mirror Lake, a flight station in a lakeside city.

"Blue whale Bay City." Duke saw the name of the lakeside city on the sign of the flight station.

There are eighteen long white jade bridges outside the holy city of Ofa.

It symbolizes the eighteen kingdoms that human civilization has established, and at the end of each white jade long bridge, there is a similar lakeside city.

As soon as the battleship was disembarked, the staff of the flight station came to greet and register the purpose of the battleship Blue.

Knowing that it was to escort the newly canonized Erudite Sage Duke to attend the investiture ceremony, the staff immediately responded: "The directors of the Erudite Tower, an official letter has been sent, and after receiving the news of Lord Duke's arrival, please wait for a while, and a special car will be sent to greet you soon." ”

"Then we'll wait here." Siscoli said.

The flight station immediately sent out a swift message.

Here in the Whale Song Mirror Lake, there lives a special 0-ring spirit beast - the Flying Arrow Swift, which is extremely fast and has a super good memory.

As a result, there were animal tamers who domesticated the flying arrow swift and replaced the postman owl to deliver letters around the Whale Song Mirror Lake. Basically, you can fly from the coastal city to the holy city of Ofa in a few minutes, rain or shine, and deliver the letter to its destination accurately.

So there was no long wait at the flight station.

A large shuttle flew into the flight station and stopped in front of Duke and Siscoli.

"Which Duke Bo Scholar and which one is Chief Governor Siscoli?" The convoy descended with an arcane mage in arcane robes.

Siscoli stepped forward: "I'm Siscoli, and this one next to me is Duke." ”

"I've met Chief Director Siscoli, and I'm the greeter of the Erudite Tower, Gerio White Dolphin." Master Ao said enthusiastically, then looked at Duke again, his eyes lit up, and said, "I have seen Duke Sage, you are the same as in the description, no, younger than in the description. ”

"Hello Your Excellency Gério White Dolphin." Duke said hello reservedly.

Now it is different from the past, after receiving the title of Erudite Sage, his status is already equal to that of the Great Ao Mage, and he needs to respect his identity.

After the politeness is finished.

Gerio White Dolphin bowed slightly and invited: "Please come with me, two of our directors of the Erudite Tower are already preparing to welcome you in the tower." ”

The group got into the convoy of the Erudite Tower, quickly left the flight station, and sped along the White Jade Long Bridge towards the Holy City of Ofa.

The long white jade bridge clings to the lake.

As far as the eye can see, the sky is reflected like a mirror, and the water and sky are the same color.

Suddenly.

Another huge whale jumped out of the water, let out a grumbling cry, and slammed into the water, stirring the calm surface of the lake into sparkling.

Gerio smiled and said, "Today's big whale is a little more restless than usual, perhaps because he knows that His Excellency Duke has come to congratulate you on your promotion to the Learned Sage. Your invention has greatly contributed to the development of spiritual arcane, and the overlord of the Whale Song Mirror Lake has come to cheer for you. ”

"What kind of whales are these?" Duke asked.

"It is a seven-ringed spirit animal, the Mirror Lake Singing Whale, the only whale that lives in a land lake." "They have been tamed and sheltered each other with the Holy City of Ofa, and there is a king and a queen in the whale herd, and two wurms-Mirror Lake whales. ”

"It's beautiful." Duke exclaimed.

After enjoying a whale song, the shuttle convoy drove into the holy city of Ofa, and the city skyline has been transformed into a forest of towers.

Looking up, I saw only the clouds, but not the top of the tower.

The streets are orderly, with shuttles, sedans coming and going, and large knightly guards on horseback patrolling the designated roads.

The base of the Holy City of Alpha is suspended above the water, and in many places there are downwards where you can see the surface of the Whale Song Mirror Lake. Many pedestrians will also feed food when they pass by the scenic entrance, and some fish will jump out of the water to grab it.

On both sides of the street, ancient trees are swaying.

I don't know how much soil the base of the Aofa Holy City carries enough soil for these ancient trees to take root.

Flocks of small birds roost in the shade of trees, wild cats and wild dogs turn a blind eye to pedestrians in the streets, and all kinds of strange little beasts chase each other.

Everywhere it is a reflection of the harmony between man and nature.

It is not the sanitation workers who sweep the streets, but all kinds of puppets, some of which are responsible for sweeping the floor, some of which are responsible for trimming tree branches, some of which are sprinkling and watering, and some of which are responsible for scooping up garbage from scenic outlets, and so on.

There are many shops, and customers are either rich or expensive.

Passing by in a flying shuttle, Duke only feels like he has stepped into a cosmopolitan city, with a sci-fi future full of neon flashes.

The concentration of spiritual particles in the city, through the window of the shuttle, you can feel the drunkenness that hits your face, and it is extremely rich. In the United Tower of Shenjiao City, the spiritual aura of the 3-ring tree king-mysterious vine combing is even richer.

The shuttle carried the crowd through the streets, and in a moment they came to a towering tower.

Take the special car passage and stop in front of the gate of this tower.

There was already a team of arcane mages wearing arcane robes, waiting in front of the gate, and when Duke and his party got off the car, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.

The reporters who were waiting around raised their equipment similar to that of a camera, and took wild pictures at Duke and the others, very like a press conference on Earth.

"Welcome Duke Erudite Sage, and Chief Governor Siscoli, to the Polymath Tower of the Holy City of Ofa." The leader was a balding middle-aged man, and he wore arcane robes, mainly decorated with blue, which was the configuration of ordinary arcane mages.

However, behind him, there was a group of arcane mages, wearing arcane robes mainly decorated with purple decorations, obviously all of them were great arcane mages.

Gerio White Dolphin immediately introduced Duke: "This is the assistant to the chief director, assistant to Luis. ”

Duke responded with a smile.

Gerio also introduced the next few Grand Ao Mages, three of whom were councilors, and the others were also directors of the Erudite Tower.

As for the chief director, he happened to be out today.

The directors and supervisors showed up, and after the politeness, they returned to their posts, leaving only a 6-ring level Lampotton director, with Luis's assistant and Gerio's greeting envoy, responsible for receiving Duke and Siscoli and his party.

Visit the Polymath Tower before hosting a luncheon.

By the afternoon, the chief director of the Erudite Tower, who was also a member of the Supreme Council, and the 7-ring Morning Star Arcane Mentor, Madron Rhodiola, was belated.

"You're here." Ma Delong's face was serious, and his tone was also rigid, "Duke's award of being a learned sage was unanimously recommended by the Supreme Committee, and the award ceremony should not be taken lightly. In addition, Lord Serthas has said that it is better to have a new idea for the ceremony, and Lamploton is in charge of it. ”

"Yes, Chief Trustee." Director Lampotton nodded in response.

"Then the time will be three days later, and three days will be left for you to prepare." Maderón quickly set the time, "Duke, Siscoli, you guys cooperate in the past few days and strive to make the investiture ceremony a success as soon as possible." ”

"Yes."

"Okay."

After Duke and Siscoli agreed, Maderón said to Duke: "Your attainments and talents in naturalism are recognized by the entire Supreme Council. Chairman Serthas, I hope you will study for a few years at the Erudite Tower in the Holy City. ”

"Refresher?" Duke didn't say yes right away.

The water in the Holy City of Alpha was much deeper than that of the Whale Song Mirror Lake, and he was not willing to set foot in it so early, and it was easy to drown.

Ma Delong didn't know what Duke was thinking, and he didn't seem to care what Duke thought, so he said to himself: "When you finish your studies, the Supreme Council will expand the number of members for you, and you can serve in the Erudite Tower, or you can only serve as a member, academic freedom." ”

"Thank you and Chairman Sel'shas for your kindness, I need to think about it." Duke responded.

"Yes."

Didn't talk much.

As the arcane teacher, Maderon has a lot of opportunities and will not focus on a newly learned sage like Duke.

After he left, Lampotton and others talked with Duke and Siscoli about how the ceremony should be held.

Assistant Louis took the lead and said: "The canonization of sages is a major event, and the seven towers all have the authority to canonize sages in different fields, and the ceremony of conferring titles is also different. In our erudition to the Tower, it is usually combined with the achievements of the sages. ”

"Combined with achievement?" Duke asked.

"Yes, for example, Duke Sage, you invented strong light technology and film and television technology, so the award ceremony can be held around these two technologies."

After Louis finished speaking, Director Lampmorton followed: "So my plan is to combine the award ceremony with film and television technology, which should not only reflect your invention, but also be innovative...... Everyone brainstorms, Duke you can also come up with ideas. ”

Not only that, but the councillor also summoned several young arcane mages in the tower to participate in the discussion.

In the end, it was Duke himself who came up with the idea.

"Film and television technology is about taking images from the past and then playing them in the present, so why can't we combine them to create a novel debut ceremony?"

"Oh, what do you think?"

"I thought I could shoot different scenes with a camera and then combine them into a slide roll. Then, while the video was playing, I slowly walked out of these scenes as the protagonist of the investiture ceremony. ”

The more Duke said, the more he felt good: "At that time, you can create a dream scene that is both real and fake, and everyone can see the effect of film and television technology." ”

"Well, that's a good idea!" Ranbolton agreed.

So this plan was chosen.

For the next three days, Duke didn't have time to visit the Orcane Holy City, and spent all his time rehearsing for the investiture ceremony.

In order to make his investiture ceremony go down in history, he even used the means of making movies.

Fortunately, the erudite Supreme Tower's mobilization ability was extremely strong, so he was able to shoot his thoughts one by one in such a hurry.

……

Three days passed in a flash.

On April 22nd, an ordinary day, but also a special day, the Tower of Erudite will hold a ceremony for the erudite sage in Duke's honor today.

Although there are many Arcane Priests with the title of Sage in the Holy City of Arcane, every Sage has made outstanding contributions to the spiritual Arcane, so the investiture ceremony must be treated with great pomp, as the Arcane Mentor will attend the investiture ceremony.

For example, Duke's award ceremony.

It has been established that all the learned sages who have settled in the Holy City of Ofa, as well as the surrounding Eighteen Lakes Coastal City, will be present.

Among them are four arcane teachers.

In the entire Seven Towers Federation, the number of arcane teachers does not exceed fifty.

Except for the Arcane Mentors who guarded the twelve realms, and the Arcane Mentors who explored outside, there were only twenty-one Arcane Masters who settled in the Holy City of Offa. Four of them held the title of Erudite Sage, and even one of them was selected as the Chief Sage of Offata.

The Chief Sage of the Offata, with titles of title regardless of field, belong to the great arcane mages who have reached the pinnacle of their respective fields of study.

It is also the pillar of the entire Seven Towers Federation.

"The adults are already seated!" Assistant Louis hurried to the backstage of the award ceremony, "It will start in ten minutes!" ”

Director Lampton nodded indifferently: "Don't be impatient, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, and the playback equipment has also been prepared, so there will be no mistakes." ”

Then he looked at Duke, who was closing his eyes and recuperating: "It seems that the protagonist is not nervous now, and even wants to sleep a little." Assistant Louis, you go and inform the chief director that there will be no omission, and let him preside over the award ceremony normally. ”

"Okay." Louis left in a hurry.

Duke raised his eyelids: "Lord Director, as long as there is no problem with the equipment, there will be no problems on my side." ”

The whole process, Xiaoyi will assist him in completing the whole process on the Douqi holographic screen.

So don't make any mistakes.

Lampmorton nodded, "Yes." ”

The filming and rehearsals in the past few days have also proved that Duke does not make mistakes, and the basic process can be 100% in place after listening to it once.

Meanwhile.

The large hall above the clouds has no windows, only columns, and the white clouds can directly blow into this large hall that can accommodate thousands of people.

Looking out, you can see the spires of five other towers above the clouds, as well as the towers of the Ofa Tower, which cannot be seen.

The auditorium was already filled with thousands of people.

In addition to the arcane mages and great arcane mages in the rostrum area, there are ordinary arcane mages and ordinary citizens in other positions.

Of course, there are also a large number of journalists.

If it was just a simple ceremony for the conferral of erudite sages, it would not attract so many people to participate, after all, there were not five hundred but two or three hundred sages in the Holy City of Aofa, which was not worth rare.

But if this newly promoted erudite sage has three records at the same time, the youngest 2-ring arcane mage, the fastest promotion to 2-ring arcane mage, and the youngest erudite sage, it is extremely rare, and everyone wants to take a look.

The chief director of the Erudite Tower, Maderón Rhodiola, stepped onto the stage.

There was not the slightest smile on his serious face, and his tone was also flat: "Welcome to the Erudite Tower, the conferment ceremony held by Duke to confer the title of Erudite Sage on Duke, the inventor of film and television technology and strong light technology." ”

"In the past two years, Shenjiao City, the frontier land of the Wind Breath Realm, has cultivated a young Arcane Master Duke."

"Spirituality loves the world, Alpha Wise."

With his outstanding wisdom, Duke got a glimpse of the strong light technology from the luminous structure of the Lingfeng lantern, and invented film and television technology from the light and shadow images of the slide card. These two inventions of naturalism will have earth-shaking changes for the development of the Seven Towers Federation and even the entire human civilization. ”

"Therefore."

"After the unanimous recommendation of the Supreme Review Council of the Supreme Tower of Erudite, and through the ruling of the Ruling Committee of the Supreme Tower of the Arcanon, Duke is officially canonized as the Erudite Sage."

The voice landed.

The audience erupted in thunderous applause.

Waiting for the applause to subside, Maderón continued to say calmly: "In this ceremony of awarding the title of Erudite Sage, Chairman of the Supreme Review Council has been invited to crown Duke with the title of Erudite Sage, and Chairman Selhas has been invited to speak on the stage. ”

Ma Delong stepped aside, and an old man with white hair walked on the rostrum, and after standing still, he faced the audience.

"This year the storm calendar is 4415." Serthas's voice was loud, "It has been more than 5,000 years since humans landed on the Barren Continent, and the Storm Empire of the ancestral land has been established, and the Storm Calendar is also beginning. Then, in 1127, the Seven-Tower Confederation was established. ”

"Do the math, it's 3,288 years old."

"In the past 3,288 years, countless arcane mages have promoted the development of spiritual arcane law one after another, and only then have we achieved today's brilliant achievements."

After a pause, Serthas said loudly, "So today I am honored to confer the title of Erudite Sage on outstanding newcomers in the field of spiritual arcane. Duke, a young 2-ring arcane mage, a record-breaking erudite sage, asks him to appear. ”

After speaking, Sersas, amid applause, retreated to his position with Maderon.

The next moment.

Curtains hung down between the columns around the entire auditorium, blocking out the sunlight from the outside and plunging the auditorium into darkness.

The audience couldn't help but let out a burst of whispering restlessness.

Soon, though.

A light lit up from the rostrum, like a portal suddenly lit up in the darkness, and the portal gradually expanded until it illuminated the entire Great Hall.

Everyone either closed their eyes or raised their hands to block out the glare of the light.

By the time they opened their eyes again, the light had faded, and with a loud cry, the scene on the throne changed to a humble house.

A young couple with no front in sight, holding a crying baby and shaking gently, humming an unknown local song.

Snowflakes are falling outside the window, and the house is singing softly.

"Little snowflakes, little snowflakes, accompany me to sleep at night; Small and white, cold and cold, shaking happily at me. Crystal snowflakes may you fly and grow freely forever. Little snowflake, little snowflake, always bless me with good health. ”

The baby listened to its mother's singing, stopped crying, and showed a happy smile on her little face with tears in her eyes.

Then he slowly fell asleep.

Dad lightly unplugged the dimly lit spirit card.

The lights in the room were pressed down, and the entire auditorium was once again plunged into darkness, and it was a long time before a glimmer of light came on.

It was like a dark night, a little child, curled up in the corner with his hands on his knees.

The camera zooms out, and the sign of the Welfare Institute in Sheshou Town seems to be integrated with the night, only a dim lamp in the distance emits this insignificant glimmer of light.

The night did not last long before it was replaced by the light of dawn.

Scene switching.

Wearing a blue jacket, coffee-colored slacks, and a pair of black big scalp shoes, a young man of fifteen or sixteen walked out of the door of a welfare home with a tool bag on his shoulder.

Facing the rising sun that has not yet risen, I walked into a shop with "Little Sam Xiuka Shop" to work, cleaned, wiped the equipment, prepared the card materials, and was busy until the sun set, then rubbed my arms, put on the tool kit and left the store again.

When I returned to my residence, it was no longer a welfare home, but a small and isolated bungalow.

Skillfully cook the rice and steam a sausage.

The young man went to the partition of the room, and busied himself on a simple work table, studying a spiritual lamp.

The scene changes very quickly, and the boy finally researches a portable lamp by pulling rice with sausages.

He turned on the button of the portable lamp and shone it out, and the next moment, the light shone into the auditorium of the auditorium.

Then the brightness of the light increased dramatically.

As a result, there was only light on the stage, and no background could be seen, and after a while, the light was no longer aimed at the audience, and the scene had completely changed.

It was a newspaper with a bright light.

The bright light on the newspaper was as bright as the real thing, and the text next to it was highlighted: "Duke, son of the sun, make night into day!" ”

"Dispelling the darkness of the world and illuminating the corners of the world, Duke was awarded the title of Polymath."

"Duke, the messenger of light!"

"Duke, the inventor of the technology of strong light, is affectionately known as the giant of light by the citizens."

"The Seven Towers Federation Erudite Tower will promote the glare-light technology, and the fame of Duke the Son of the Sun will spread throughout the Twelve Realms."

These are all real newspapers, stacked on top of each other, and only the image on the newspaper is always a bright bright bright light.

Suddenly.

The newspaper faded, and a hand reached over and turned the lamp.

The camera slowly pulled away, it was the young man just now, who was replacing the strong lights for the Sheshou Town Welfare Institute, and many children surrounded him, cheering.

At the same time, it sounded: "The welfare home is as bright as day, the children are cheering, I think, in the future, the night of the welfare home will never be scary." ”

The phantom on the stage was played here, and all the audience in the audience had already understood what these constantly changing scenes meant.

"This is the history of Duke Sage's growth!" An ordinary spectator, sighed softly.

Some sensual women had already wiped away their tears: "It was really not easy for Duke Sage when he was a child, and the life in the welfare home definitely frightened him. ”

"The genius who came out of adversity, it is precisely because he wants to change his bad life that he has an invention that changes the world!"

"It's an interesting investiture ceremony, isn't it?"

"This is a direct use of film and television technology to pave the way to the opening, I have already felt the charm of film and television technology, it's so interesting this award ceremony!"

Not only the general audience was stunned by this unique appearance ceremony.

Even the arcane teachers and great arcane masters sitting on the rostrum couldn't help but approach each other and whisper in their ears.

"It's interesting."

"But what's even more interesting is that Duke is actually out there, isn't he."

"yes." An arcane mentor squinted his eyes and a smile on his face, "He has long since come out of the light. ”
