The Sukhtara Mage Tower of the New Year Festival has not become deserted, and there are still many researchers who choose to work overtime.

Tonight is different.

Except for a trip to the Kingston Mage Tower, a visit to the Kingston Fury, and a visit to Elwin's Tower, Duke has been staying in the Suktara Mage Tower, waiting for someone to come to visit.

He was ranked sixth in the Five Towers Conference, which means that there were only five people who were a little higher than him.

"New year, new atmosphere, the affairs that have been put on hold for a long time should be dealt with." As soon as the New Year passed, Keystone Fury held a meeting of the Five Towers.

Duke, who was notified, rushed to the Union Tower in a shuttle.

As soon as you enter the United Tower, you will feel a kind spirituality, enveloping yourself, which is the spirituality of the 3-ring tree king, the vine of mysteries.

To be able to comprehend the Guardian Mystery Vine means to be recognized by the Tree King.

After establishing a breathing resonance with the Tree King, Duke felt that everything in the entire United Tower was clearly revealed.

and then projected by Xiaoyi onto the vindictive holographic screen.

The picture is so subtle that it seems to be perspective-based, and most of the contours can be highlighted, except for the inability to outline the details and colors.

"Lord Duke."

"Your Excellency Williams."

In the staircase, Duke encounters Williams, the chief director of the Observation Tower.

The old man believed in the way of health preservation, rarely appeared in public, and preferred to stay in his mage tower and study various potions. It is said that he alone sponsored ten mercenary groups to help him collect resources in various regions.

After saying hello, the two entered the conference room together.

Before Keystone Fury arrived, Duke found a place where his nameplate was placed, sat down, followed Williams's example, and closed his eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, all nine members of the Five Towers Conference arrived.

Keystone sat down at the top and coughed lightly: "I have called you over for a meeting today, and there is only one theme of the meeting, that is, to conquer the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon and avenge the three arcane mages who died in Shenjiao City in the past. ”

Hearing this, Bernoulli directly interrupted: "Lord Keystone, does this still need to be discussed, I have already reached an agreement with the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon Clan, and the Black Jade Scorpion Clan will never invade my Black Jiaohe Land again in the future, so why bother!" ”

"This is not an overactive move, this is the ardent expectation of everyone in the Black Jiaohe River, we must not let the spirit beast that killed the arcane mage continue to be free!" Stephen Winged Tiger immediately choked, "I don't think there's any need to discuss it, let's conquer the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon!" ”

"It is unwise to recruit the Black Jade Scorpion Clan to inevitably cause casualties!" Bernoulli scolded Stephen Winged Tiger and then turned to look at Keystone, "My lord, why do you insist on making the worst decision when there are better options?" ”

Seeing that Keystone was watching the show again, Bernoulli couldn't help but look at Erwin: "Your Excellency Elwin, do you also support this decision?" ”

Erwin sighed: "Intellectually, I don't want to add more casualties, but emotionally, the hatred of Rangnick and the others can't go unpaid, Lord Bernoulli." ”

"Emotional emotion, if the arcane master can't even restrain his emotions, how can he insist on himself on the spiritual arcane path!" Bernoulli scolded loudly, "And I've already given enough compensation to the families of the three Rangnicks, isn't that enough!" ”

Jovis Lynx said indifferently: "Your Excellency Bernoulli, the life of the arcane mage can only be repaid with the blood of the spirit beast!" ”

"I see your head is full of mush!" Bernoulli stared.

In order to subdue the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon Clan, he almost ran all the members of the Five Towers Conference and paid a lot of benefits.

However, when it was time to make a decision, I realized that no one was on my side.

At this moment, he suddenly realized and looked at Keystone coldly: "Your Excellency Keystone, is this what you once said, the unity of the Black Jiaohe Land?" ”

"What to say." Keystone wondered.

"The arcane mages of the Black Jiaohe Land have gathered together and rejected me, an outsider, aren't they?" Bernoulli said coldly, "We humans have tamed spirit beasts and harnessed spirit insects, which has been the case since ancient times, why do we have to kill the black jade horseshoe crab dragon when we come to me?" ”

"You want to know why?" Keystone said in a moment's time, "Then I'll tell you, Bernoulli, I agree with what you said about humans taming spirit beasts and spirit worms. ”

"If you agree, why did you reject my offer?"

"The reason is simple, you haven't tamed the black jade horseshoe crab dragon." Keystone took a sip of water while holding the teacup before continuing, "You just made a simple contract with the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon, or an equal contract, not only did you insult the majesty of the mage, but even ......"

Keystone's tone became more and more serious: "Let the Black Jade Scorpion Clan mix into human society, once it gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"How can it get out of control, in time, the Black Jade Scorpion Clan will inevitably be assimilated by us!" Bernoulli blushed and retorted loudly.

Keystone said coldly: "You don't have a foolproof guarantee, and it is almost impossible for you to tame the black jade horseshoe crab dragon by your means, so I will not accompany you on the adventure." Emotionally, the black jade horseshoe crab dragon must pay for its life, and intellectually, it still has to die! ”

There was a pause.

Keystone stared at Bernoulli and said word by word: "Only dead wurms are good wurms!" ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Bernoulli's reaction, and put the teacup heavily on the table: "Now, raise your hand to vote on whether to levy the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon." ”

Williams and the others raised their hands without hesitation.

Duke, who had watched the play for a while, also raised his hand, the black jade horseshoe crab dragon was already a wurm, and it was impossible for such a spirit beast to be tamed.

Bernoulli looked around at the vote by a show of hands, and sat down in his chair in a daze.

After a long time, Keystone announced lightly: "Eight votes in favor, one vote against, I declare that from now on, hunt the black jade horseshoe crab dragon!" ”

Stephen Yihu smiled and looked at Bernoulli: "Your Excellency Bernoulli, the resolution has been passed, you have to do it yourself, don't be on the wrong side." This matter concerns all the arcane mages in the Black Jiaohe Land, and you and your family must choose carefully. ”

The expression on Bernoulli's face changed again and again.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and responded: "I support the hunting of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon, and I will never reveal any information to the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon, but you have to assure me that the body of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon will be handed over to me to dispose of, and I want its bloodline!" ”

Hear the words.

Keystone smiled: "You need to start a family, of course you have priority for the bloodline of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon." Now that we have reached a unified opinion, Bernoulli, you can come with me to Runwu City, and invite Lord Loren Shan Kagome to come to the Green Sea Valley for a while. ”

"Good!" Bernoulli nodded in agreement.

This was the end of the meeting, and they dispersed.

"Lord Loren Sankagome, can you deal with the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon?" Duke left with Erwin, asking on the way.

"Lord Loren is the 7-Ringed Morning Star Arcane Mentor, so it's easy to deal with a mere wurm." Erwin said with a smile, "Actually, even if you don't invite Lord Loren, you can still kill the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon if you invite a few 6-ring Sky Arcane Mages, but it's safer to ask Lord Loren to make a move." ”

"Can you take one with me when you kill?"

"You also want to participate in dragon hunting, Lord Keystone is afraid that he will not allow it, you are only a 2-ring arcane mage now, and it is too dangerous to go dragon hunting."

"Well, if I take Lord Loren's warship, I should be safe, right?" Duke asked again.

"If Lord Loren is willing to carry you, of course you are safe, even if a group of wurms attack Lord Loren's warship, you will be safe and sound."

The Federation of the Seven Towers is the realm of the Arcanes.

Although there is no 9-ring arcane teacher, the 7-ring Morning Star arcane teacher and the 8-ring Radiant Moon arcane teacher are enough to deal with all dangers.

Back at the Sukhtara Mage Tower, Duke waited for the dragon hunt while continuing his studies and research.

When I have nothing to do, I go to DreamWorks Film and Television Company to enjoy the newly released musical phantom dramas in several newly opened Phantom Opera Houses in Shenjiao City.

In addition to "Little River Flows", there are many recorded tracks.

As a new form of entertainment, the Phantom Opera House opened a year later, which really attracted a lot of audiences and received very positive reviews.

"Duke, the company's management reported to me that they planned to start a new round of financing. With the help of this financing, we are ready to open the Phantom Opera House in all cities in the field of wind and breath, and then focus on musical phantom dramas to seize the market first. ”

Kiria and Duke take a walk together after dinner.

"Well, you can make your own decisions about business matters." Duke doesn't care about making money or not, he values the promotion of film and television technology.

The spirit has begun to slowly give back, helping his spirit core to quickly evolve into a second ring.

There are no shackles for 1 ring to 2 rings, 2 rings to 3 rings, as long as the cognition of spiritual arcane law can keep up, it can continue to rise.

So.

Once film and television technology is popularized, when it blossoms everywhere and spirituality begins to give feedback. Even if he doesn't do anything, Duke can naturally be promoted to the 3rd ring.

"By the way, I heard from my grandfather, you also want to participate in dragon hunting?" Kiria asked.

"Yes, to increase knowledge and lay the foundation for spiritual arcane." Duke smiled and responded, "I guess Mr. Keystone let you go with him." ”

"Yes, Grandpa said that the opportunity is rare, let all the arcane mages in our family follow him to participate in dragon hunting. Will you come on your grandfather's battleship then? Kiria asked expectantly, "We can watch together." ”

"Well, I plan to take Lord Loren's battleship, and you can come with me when the time comes, it will be safer."

"That'...... I'll go back and ask my grandfather. ”

"Hmm."

The dragon hunting plan was approved after the year, but it was enough to wait for the beginning of spring in March to receive a reply from Loren Sangovey and officially launch.

Duke is too weak to fit into the full plan.

It's just that after Loren Sangovey's battleship arrived in Shenjiao City, he took Kiria to board the huge battleship called "Yerba Cao".

Loren Sangovey personally met with Duke.

This legend in the Wind Breath Realm is much kinder than expected: "When you were canonized last year, I was not in the Orfa Holy City, I have been patrolling outside, and I am very sorry that I have not been able to meet the outstanding children of the Wind Breath Field, but now I have finally got my wish. ”

"It's also my regret that I couldn't visit you in person." Duke replied.

"Now we've met, haven't we?" Loren Sankagome's expression was gentle, and his tone was also gentle, and he turned his head to look at Kiriya again, "Is this the little girl of the Nutao family?" ”

"My name is Kiria Fungtao, my grandgrandfather Keystone Fury, let me say hello to you!" Kiria replied respectfully.

"The little lion has shown off to me before, he has an excellent junior." Loren Sankagome nodded.

Next to him, there was an accompanying Grand Ao Mage, who was Loren Shan Kagome's assistant, and said with a smile: "My lord, Duke is the pride of the sky, Kiria is the lady of the sky, you have met the best pair of young people in the field of wind breath today. ”

Loren bowed his head and asked, "Duke, are you two a couple?" ”

Kiria looked at Duke.

Duke responded generously, "Yes, Kiria is my girlfriend. ”

"Well, the little lion is really fast." Loren smiled and stroked his beard and said, "The Nutao family has always been excellent in the choice of marriage. ”

The Fangcao battleship set off from Shenjiao City, and soon joined up with the Bibo battleship and a group of airships from Shenjiao City, and flew towards Cuihai Valley.

On the way, Loren Sankagome kept chatting with Duke and Kiria, like an old man who had nothing to do.

For the upcoming dragon hunt, there is basically no concern at all.

All communication and cooperation were handed over to his assistant to the Grand Arcane mage to liaise with Keystone Fury and the others.

I don't know how long it has been.

The Fangcao, hidden in the clouds, finally received the signal and quickly swooped down from the clouds, with Cuihai Valley below.

"My lord, the battlefield has been locked, Bernoulli has introduced the black jade horseshoe crab dragon into the battlefield encirclement, it's time for you to make a move." The Grand O's mage assistant interrupted Loren Sankagome's leisure.

Loren got up from the chair, his body was not tall, his belly was quite big, and he was chubby like an old rich man: "Are you finally going to make a move, I haven't hunted a dragon for many years, I really miss it...... Pontic, you take care of the two little ones. ”

Pontic, the assistant, replied, "Yes, sir." ”

Then he turned to Duke and Kiriya and smiled, "Don't you want to watch the dragon hunt, come with me and watch it in the fighting compartment." ”

"Thank you!" Dukla took Kiria and followed.

The battleship had many fighting compartments, and Duke and Kiria were each in the bow of the ship, choosing a fighting compartment to watch the battle.

Pontic saw that Duke was already in place, so he said: "I'm going to fight with the adults, if you have any needs, call Mr. Hugo directly, Mr. Hugo is the war spirit of the Fangcao, if Mr. Hugo can't handle it, he will tell me." ”

"Okay."

At this time, the Fangcao had already swooped over the Cuihai Valley, and through the glass of the fighting compartment, Duke could clearly see that a group of black jade scorpions were being besieged by the airships of the Black Jiao River.

Most of the black jade scorpions are 5-ring and 6-ring levels, and they fled in a hurry under the attack of the airship.

Among them, there were also several 7-ring level black jade scorpion kings who dared to launch a counterattack against the airship, but they were all dodged by the airship's flexible maneuvers.

You can't dodge, and there are also arcane defenses to resist one or two.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, from the bare ground, a huge scorpion-like monster emerged, and it was the black jade horseshoe crab dragon that Duke had ever seen.

9-ring wurm.

The black jade horseshoe crab dragon has entered a state of rage, dodging arcane attacks in mid-air while charging towards the cockroach of the Bernoulli Mage Tower.

Apparently, it believed that Bernoulli had betrayed and deceived it.

Bernoulli has even cast the Ring of Projection, turning into a huge arcane mage phantom, holding the whip of thunder, and constantly whipping the black jade horseshoe crab dragon to protect the cockroach's retreat.

"Roar!"

The black jade horseshoe crab dragon let out a loud roar.

In the entire Cuihai Valley, almost all the hidden spirit insects were awakened by it, appeared on the battlefield, and launched an all-out attack on all the airships.

The Black Jade Scorpion clan is even crazier.

However, before the black jade horseshoe crab dragon could be murderous, for a moment, everyone felt something in their hearts and raised their heads to look at the sky.

Even the spirit insects in the valley are no exception.

At some point, a bright star lit up in the cloudy sky, and even the clouds could not stop its light.

The light cast by this star resembles a cylinder, enveloping the entire battlefield.

The black jade horseshoe crab dragon sensed the danger for the first time, quickly abandoned the pursuit of the cockroach, and then sprinted desperately in the direction of the airship.

When he sprinted to the edge of the cylinder's light, it seemed to hit a wall and was directly bounced off.

It didn't believe in evil, and continued to ram at the edge of the light, and then it was bounced back again, only to realize that it had been blocked.

I glanced up at the stars in the sky.

The black jade horseshoe crab dragon rushed towards an airship in a frenzy, and then directly in front of it, a few bits of spiritual light suddenly appeared.

The next moment.

The spiritual light turned into a huge ice spike, directly stabbing the black jade horseshoe crab dragon, the black jade horseshoe crab dragon twisted its body wildly, and then swung its long knife-like double pincers to shatter the ice thorns.

Don't wait to get out.

The spiritual light emerged from another direction, turning into sharp thunder, piercing the black jade horseshoe crab dragon's back armor, and causing half of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon's body to be numb.

The next process can be called an arcane feast, constantly erupting in front of and behind the black jade horseshoe crab dragon, left and right, hitting the black jade horseshoe crab dragon is dizzy, trying to escape, wanting to dodge can't dodge, can only twist the body impotent rage.

"Tsk!"

Duke looked at the scene below, and exclaimed in his heart: "Is this the method of the Morning Star Arcane Master, the arcane is elusive!" ”

There is no Loren Sankagome on the battlefield, but it seems to be everywhere, and the powerful arcane can be unleashed as he wants, there is no doubt that only Loren Sankove can have such a means, which belongs to the arcane master.

What's more, the stars above the head are like a cover, covering the battlefield, so that the black jade horseshoe crab dragon has nowhere to escape.

Boom Boom!

Rounds of arcane fire.

Even Duke took out the sand eagle, switched armor-piercing bullets, and cooperated with tracking bullets to shoot at the wounds on the black jade horseshoe crab dragon's body. Although he felt that the power was still too small to cause much damage, he still missed dozens of magazines in a row.

It's rare to participate in the dragon hunting operation, how can you not get an assist.

And you can also personally feel how strong the defense of a wurm like the black jade horseshoe crab dragon is.

"It's a pity that the research and development of Sand Eagle 2.0 has not been completed, and now the effective killing of bullets is limited to spirit beasts with 5 rings and below, even if you shoot the wound of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon, it will not expand much of the injury." Dozens more magazines were empty, and Duke gasped.

The stronger the sand eagle, the higher the consumption of his own spiritual energy, and the body was somewhat strained to shoot more than a hundred magazines in a row.

Suddenly.

On both sides of the berserk black jade horseshoe crab dragon's body, two huge large hands were condensed, somewhat similar to the hands of a 1-ring arcane-mage.

But these two hands, as if they were real hands, directly grabbed the two long knife-like pincers of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon.

Immobilize the black jade horseshoe crab dragon.

Then, on the front of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon, the phantom of an arcane mage was condensed, and the phantom's hand condensed with colorful arcane light.

And the arcane light continues to push forward.

The black jade horseshoe crab dragon seemed to have a strong sense of crisis, and chose to use its magical powers to transform itself into an obsidian-like sculpture.

Bang.

Colorful arcane light bloomed, like a laser cannon, and slammed into the obsidian sculpture.

With a click, the obsidian sculpture was pierced on the spot, and then shattered and scattered, leaving behind a black jade horseshoe crab dragon that was one size smaller.

The black jade horseshoe crab dragon was already dying.

But those big hands still firmly grasped its two long knives and pincers, making it even a luxury to struggle.

Next.

The arcane mage's phantom grabbed into the void, and a chisel composed of thunder and lightning immediately took shape, and with a single blow, it chiseled into the black jade horseshoe crab dragon.

"Hiss......"

The black jade horseshoe crab dragon roared at the sky, and stopped abruptly halfway through the roar, and its already pitch-black body was completely scorched.

Smoke curls from the mouthparts.

He's dead.

The powerful 9-ringed wurm was killed lightly like this, the battleship Fangcao hovered in the air, and the star that blocked the battlefield slowly dissipated.

The arcane mage's phantom dissipated, as did the two great hands.

The Cockroach quickly rushed into the air, intercepting the falling corpse of the black jade horseshoe crab, and then quickly approached the battleship Yerba Cao.

Bernoulli himself stepped out of the airship and performed arcane arts, dragging the corpse of the black jade horseshoe crab into the battleship Yerba Cao.

Then he found Loren Shan Kagome, who had already left the fighting compartment, and bowed: "Lord Loren, please work hard again and help me refine the bloodline of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon." ”

Loren Sankagome nodded indifferently: "This is the meaning of the title." ”

Immediately heading to the corpse of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon, Duke and Kiria quickly followed, watching how Loren Sankagome refined the wurm bloodline.

I saw Loren take out a tube of needles and inject them into the corpse of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon.

A moment later, the corpse of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon was like a firefly, glowing in different parts.

Pontic's assistant handed over a new needle, and Loren quickly inserted the needle into the glowing area, and then drew blood little by little. Twenty or thirty tubes of blood were drawn, ending the process of disposing of the corpse of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon.

"Next, I'll bring this blood back, and in about ten days, you can come to Runwu City to get the blood fusion agent." Loren Sankagome said.

Bernoulli bowed down and responded: "Lord Lao, I will set up a banquet in Shenjiao City......

"No need, time is limited, I'll go back and process the blood first." Loren Sankagome said, and began to see off the guests, "You go back, and in addition, bring Duke and Kiria back as well, and the Fangcao will not stop, and go directly back to Runwu City." ”

Bernoulli nodded yes, then looked at Duke and Kiria.

Fortunately, Kiria had been standing silently beside her, but Duke had already squatted on the ground, studying the mangled body of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon.

"Lord Duke, it's time to go." Bernoulli said quickly.

Duke reluctantly got up and left, it was rare to see the wurm corpse, and he wanted to stay a little longer to collect the corpse's data.

It's a pity that Loren Sankagome is busy on the return trip, and he is too embarrassed to stay.

After thanking Loren Sankagome again, he followed Bernoulli and returned to the Cockroach airship first. He didn't have any friendship with Bernoulli, so he took the shuttle to the battleship Bibo.

When Keystone Nutao, who played a soy sauce game, saw Duke and asked with a smile, "How is it, do you see any doorways when you look at the excitement?" ”

"The power of the arcane tutor is hard to resist!" Duke exclaimed.

"Yes, the barren jungle is full of wurm, and without the protection of the arcane master, we humans would not be able to occupy so many spiritual places."

Sitting on the couch, Duke chatted with Keystone: "My lord, what is that star?" ”

"That's the Star Cage of the Morning Star Arcane Mentor." Keystone explained, "Ordinary arcane mages study arcane arts, great arcane mages study projections, and arcane tutors study the field. The Morning Star Arcane Mentor can induce the power of the stars to build a star cage, and the Radiant Moon Arcane Mentor can even attract the power of the moon to create a holy place under the moon. ”

Kiriya asked curiously, "If someone is promoted to the 9th Ring, wouldn't it be able to attract the power of the sun?" ”

"There is such a corollary, but who can cross the limit barrier of the 8 rings and explore the magical mystery of the 9 rings." Keystone shook his head.

Duke was tempted to say, "I can." ”

But in the spirit of low-key principles, it was not spoken.

I continued to inquire about the details of the battlefield, and fully understood the combat methods of the Morning Star Arcane Mentor, and gained a lot of knowledge.

Although the battleship Yerba Grass is gone, the battle for the dragon hunt is not over yet, and there is still finishing work to be carried out. The airship brigade led by the Bibo continued to attack in all directions, killing the remnants of the Black Jade Scorpion clan and completely clearing the Green Sea Valley.

Duke stood in front of the porthole, looking at the small lake in the center of the Green Sea Valley.

The black jade horseshoe crab dragon has been hunted and the spiritual fountain is completely exposed to the hands of humans, then, it is time to rescue the chick's grandmother.
