"It's called Pheasant Feather, the ancient spirit of the Worm Ocean era, you kid is really lucky, this ancient spirit is older than the dead brain of the iron head."

When Keystone spoke, it was not without acidity.

The more ancient the spirits, the more knowledgeable they are, after all, they are creatures that have lived from distant times to the present day.

The Iron Head of the Tower of the Keystone Mage is an armored fish of the Sea of Fish.

The sea of fish is far from the ocean of insects, and there are two spiritual eras in between, namely the shore of the horn and the beach of shellfish, and the creatures have developed from sea insects to sea fish, and the time experienced during this period is probably calculated in units of "100 million years".

The experience of these hundreds of millions of years, even if only a bit of dust is sealed in the memory of the ancient spirits, is enough to be an encyclopedia.

With the help of these ancient spirits, the arcane mages here have a clear understanding of biological evolution.

Merely.

The mages did not believe that humans evolved from these primitive animals. The reason is very simple, the most recent kind of phantom in ancient times is the empty sky where birds are entrenched, and after that, there will be no eruption of phantoms in ancient times.

How human beings were born is not recorded in any ancient era.

And according to ancient legends, humans rose from the island of the source of knights and arrived on the barren continent by sea.

Therefore, human beings should not have participated in the biological evolution of the Barren Continent.

"Duke, this trilobite spirit is the ancient spirit, you carry it first, and then transform it into a tower spirit or a war spirit when necessary, but you have to pay attention to one thing, the transformation is irreversible." Keystone Fury said solemnly, "The ancient spirits that have left the spiritual fountain are no longer immortal and immortal. ”

"You mean, once the ancient spirit is transformed into a war spirit, the ship is destroyed, and the war spirit will also fall?"

"Not necessarily, as long as you protect the core units of the battleship at the critical moment, you can continue to build new warships and let the war spirit revive again. Only when the core units are also destroyed and the war spirit has nothing to rely on, it will die. ”

"I see, by the way, my lord, the pheasant feather is in this crystal ball, how can I communicate with it?"

Duke holds a crystal ball and can only watch the trilobites swim in it, unable to establish effective communication.

Keystone shook his head and said, "It won't die for a while, you just wait, when you transform it into a war spirit or a tower spirit, you will naturally be able to communicate normally...... I've asked it something about it before, but it's a pity that it won't say anything. ”

After a pause, he added, "When you transform it, I will come to you and ask it about the ancient evil things when the time comes." ”

"Ancient Evil?" Duke raised his eyebrows, "My lord, I do know something. ”

"What?"

"When I comprehended the Three-Ring Tree King-Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower, I seemed to have seen an ancient evil thing, like a huge maggot, trying to devour the spiritual spring of the Cuihai Valley...... In the end, it was repelled by the combined efforts of countless spirit beasts, leaving behind a layer of tattered shell. ”

"......I see," Keystone looked at Duke, feeling more and more that this kid was being pampered by spirits, "I didn't expect that even the Tree King could reproduce time, and I also comprehended the Secret Vine, except for the Guardian Mystery Vine, I didn't see any scenes." ”

"It may be that I have opened the sea of qi, so I can breathe and resonate with the Tree King, so that I can recreate time through the power of nature in the Tree King."

"Cherish this ability, and you can go further on the path of spiritual mystery than we do."

"I understand."

Keystone didn't talk very well, and after a few words of advice to Duke, he waved his hand to signal that Duke could leave, and that he needed to be alone for a while.

As Duke leaves, he tucks the crystal ball into the inner compartment of the Arcane's robes.

It was a secret deal, and no one except a few Grand Arcane mages knew about it, especially not a single thing about Bernoulli.

Otherwise, Bernoulli might have guessed that it was Duke who had exposed the secret of the Ocean of Worms, thus exposing the fact that the Spiritual Fountain of the Green Sea Valley was a large spring. When the time comes, Bernoulli, who can't think of it, may not be able to make a move on Duke.

After all, a 4-ring arcane mage who is about to come to an end, no one dares to guarantee when he will give up his life and set out on the road with Raduk.

He didn't wait for Duke to return to his camp tent.

It was found that Bernoulli had been waiting halfway back to the camp for him, and when he saw Duke, he smiled what he thought was kind.

"Lord Duke."

"Lord Bernoulli."

"I don't mind delaying you for a few minutes." As Bernoulli spoke, the entourage he brought with him had already set up tables, chairs and benches.

Duke sat down: "If there is anything, your Excellency can just say it." ”

"Twin Springs, I would like to ask Your Excellency Duke to cut your love, and for this, I, the Bernoulli Mage Tower, am willing to pay enough to satisfy Your Excellency." Bernoulli got straight to the point and directly stated his purpose, "I am old, and the only wish in my heart is the future of the family. ”

The Twin Springs are two small springs that are found next to each other when exploring the Fountain of Spirituality.

Duke frowned, "I'm sorry, Lord Bernoulli, I also need the Twin Springs to build my Sage Mage Tower." ”

"But your future is not in the Black Jiaohe Land, is it, sooner or later you will go to the Holy City of Offa, which is where you can display your talents. So, why do you have to compete with me for a small spring in this small city? ”

Bernoulli looked very optimistic about Duke: "As long as you are willing to cut love, I can pay you a satisfactory reward, for you, going to the Arcane Holy City everywhere costs money, isn't it." And you will always have the friendship of the Bernoulli family. ”

"You have a point." Duke nodded approvingly.

Bernoulli smiled with satisfaction, feeling that his words had touched Duke's heart.

The next moment, Duke's tone changed: "But I still want to build my own Sage Mage Tower on the Twin Springs." ”

"You!" Bernoulli let out a sigh of relief and didn't pick it up.

"This is my home, and I will never forget it no matter what, and my glory is the glory of all the villagers in the Black Jiaohe Land. My Sage Mage Tower, towering here, believes that it will shine on all the villagers and train more arcane mages for their hometown. ”

These words are righteous and awe-inspiring.

It is true that at some point, he will go to the Holy City of Ofa to develop, but that does not mean that he will abandon his hometown.

The battleship went back and forth between Shenjiao City and the Arcane Magic City, and it was only half a month, and he could do research in the Archam Holy City for half a year, and go back to the Black Jiao River Land for half a year to do research, and use Cuihai City as his base camp to operate.

Bernoulli wanted to make Cuihai City a base camp, but he didn't want to.

"Good, good, good!" When Bernoulli heard this, he laughed angrily, "Duke is a learned sage, worthy of being the spiritual darling of the Black Jiaohe Land, you want fame and fortune, and you will not let go of the Twin Springs...... All I can say is good luck getting to the Twin Springs! ”

"Thank you." Duke got up indifferently, "If there's nothing else, I'll go." ”

"Please."

Parted with Bernoulli.

Duke didn't take this matter to heart, the competition between the Twin Springs depended on their own means, and the grace and power of the 4-ring mage could not shake his decision.

Back at the camp, Mulali and Mula Shan had already prepared bath water for him.

Duke didn't like to be served in the shower, so he sent his assistant away, and he undressed himself and got into the bathtub.

While soaking in the bath, I played with the crystal ball in my hand.

By the way, the chick was shouted.

"Duke, what are you doing!" The chick is a little irritable, day by day, being called back and forth by Duke, not for the sake of food and shelter, and has already turned his face.

"Take a look." Duke lifted the crystal ball in his hand.

The chick leaned at the crystal ball, his mouth one step faster than his brain: "What the hell this is, isn't it just a wrecking ball." ”

The next moment.

It saw the trilobite sealed in the crystal ball, and its tail shook excitedly, and its eyes were already attached to the crystal ball.

Shouted, "Wow, Duke, this is my grandma, it's my grandma!" ”

The trilobite in the crystal ball also noticed the chick, although it was sealed and could not communicate, but it did not prevent it from quickly approaching the crystal wall of the crystal ball, staring at the chick with wide eyes.

The difference is that chicks have one pair of eyes and trilobites have one pair of compound eyes.

"Of course I know it's your grandmother."

"Get my grandma out there, I'm going to talk to my grandma!"

"I can't let it out."

"What?" The chick glared, "Duke, you're not moral, are you, why are you locking up my grandma and stuffing her in such a small broken glass ball!" ”

"Because your grandmother is an ancient spirit, she is a spirit and cannot exist on its own. And it's not a glass ball, it's a crystal ball, which seals the spring water of the spiritual fountain. Duke held the crystal ball, "Once it breaks, your grandmother will have to go back to the Fountain of Spirits." ”

After speaking.

On the chick's head, a brain melon collapsed: "It's chilling to be so distrustful of me." ”

"I didn't!" The chick retorted weakly.

Then he changed the subject and said: "But I really want grandma to come out, I haven't spoken to grandma for a long time." ”

"Not yet, first, I didn't build the Mage Tower, and second, I don't have a battleship. So your grandma has to spend some more time in the crystal ball. But it's almost over, so many years have passed, and now that your grandma is by your side, why not wait a few more days. ”

"Okay."

The chick clinged to the crystal ball and shouted loudly: "Grandma, don't worry, I'll let Duke let you out right away!" ”

The trilobite was in the crystal ball, wiggling its body as if in response.

I could see my grandmother, but I couldn't hear my grandmother talking, and the chick shouted and shouted, so she couldn't help but shed tears, which fell to the ground and turned into a glow and scattered.

Can empathize with the emotions of chicks.

Duke also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but communicate with Xiaoyi: "You say, in addition to the War Spirit and the Tower Spirit, is there a better way to transform the ancient spirit?" ”

"There is too little information about the ancient spirits, master, Xiaoyi can't answer."

"Ugh."

Duke sighed.

The transformation ritual of the ancient spirit, Keystone Fury Tao has already told him in full, it is basically to use a batch of special materials to build a "body" for the ancient spirit, and then through alchemy, contracts and other means, let the ancient spirit and the body merge.

With the body hosting the spirits, the ancient spirits can move freely within the confines of the body.

"If I make a mechanical body for Pheasant Feather, Xiaoyi, do you think it will succeed?" Duke had a whim.

He thought of the six-legged spirit puppet jar he had picked up in the cabin in the woods.

According to the biologist Bynes's notes in his notes, if the soul of a human can be extracted, it can be stuffed into a container and lived forever.

However, as soon as Baines first started human experimentation, he died of old age.

"What the master thinks, there is a certain basis for reality, maybe on the basis of Baines's experiments, and then human experiments can be carried out to expand enough data." Xiao Yi suggested, "Then combined with the ancient spirit transformation ritual, try to provide a body for the pheasant feather." ”

"Human experiments...... Forget it. Duke shook his head.

If he is the arcane master of the 7th and 8th rings, and his strength is unmatched, he may try human experiments.

But now, trying human experiments is really looking for death.

"It's still practical to study film and television technology and pave the way for spiritual practice." Duke denied it in his heart, and also extinguished the idea of making a mechanical body for the pheasant feather.

Even if Pheasant Feather was a spirit body that could easily be combined with a mechanical body, he didn't plan to try it.

The Arcane Mage's predecessors have already figured out a safe way to transform the Battle Spirit and the Tower Spirit, and he only needs to continue it.

When you find a new Elder Spirit later, you may be able to try a thing or two.

"Chick." Duke put away the crystal ball, "I've already rescued your grandmother, you just need to be patient." ”

"Duke!" The chick suddenly shouted in a solemn tone.

"What?"

"Let's build a battleship!"

"Uh......" Duke was stunned for a moment, "Do you dare to build a battleship, chicken, do you know how much a battleship costs?" ”

"Isn't our family rich!" The chick said reasonably, "You are so good at making money, what's wrong with building a battleship, don't be so stingy." It's a big deal, it's a big deal that when I accompany you to practice in the future, hold on for a little longer, and don't shout tired so early! ”

"Hmm, so you pretend to be tired every time you shout?" Duke found a blind spot.

The chicken's face didn't change in the slightest: "No, this is not the point, Duke, the point is that you are very rich, Duke!" ”

"I don't have any money, and I haven't paid off the money I owe to my teacher."

"Why should I pay back the teacher's money?"

"Why don't you pay it back?"

"Anyway, anyway, you have money anyway, I just want to build a battleship." Chicks start playing scoundrels.

"Well, we don't build warships, we build mage towers." Duke patted the chicken, "Duke Sage Mage Tower, isn't this cooler than a battleship?" When we go on a long journey, we can rub other people's warships, like Lord Keystone's Fury Waves, right? ”

"That's fine, then you hurry up and build the Mage Tower!"

"Don't worry, soon."

……

Thundered!

A wide shipping route stretches from Serpent's Head Town to Cuihai Valley, and a large number of road-building puppets are laying the foundation for the route.

Airships can be seen flying in the sky at any time.

The urban construction of Cuihai City has been carried out in a mighty way, and people who are interested in the entire field of wind and breath are rushing here, wanting to rise together with this new city.

Located about twenty-five kilometers southwest of the Fountain of Spirits, it is a low hill where the Twin Springs are located.

A few shuttles quickly flew up to the nameless hill.

Walking down from the shuttle, Duke and his entourage were in a camp not far away, and the leader of the Broken Sword Mercenary Regiment, Xena, quickly brought people to greet him.

"Your Excellency!"

"The hill has been cleaned up?"

"Almost three feet into the ground, now on this mountain, even a 0-ring spirit insect no longer exists." Xena said respectfully.

In the past, when Duke was only a 1-ring mage, she was still able to maintain a certain personality in front of Duke.

Now that Duke is a learned sage, Xena no longer dares to trespass in the slightest, and when she sees Duke, she is cautious.

This cautious approach did not make Duke feel respected, but rather an awkward sense of alienation.

But the status has been very different, and Zina's performance is understandable.

Duke could only go with the flow, and asked as he walked: "Have you inspected the vicinity of the two springs, how do you feel?" ”

"My lord, this is the perfect place to build a mage tower." Zina excitedly said, "The slightly larger spring is at the top of the nameless mountain, which is suitable for building the Mage Tower, and the slightly smaller spring is at the foot of the mountain, the distance is no more than three kilometers, which is suitable for building the cultivation area of the castle." ”

"It's a great place indeed." Duke expressed satisfaction.

Keystone Fury chose this place for him, apparently seeing the advantages of the Twin Springs early on, which is enough to build a family business that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Duke is not married yet, but he will definitely have children and grandchildren in the future, so it is especially important to have such a family foundation.

"Sir, this hill doesn't have a name yet, so why don't you give one to me?" Mulali suggested.

"Okay, I'll give you one." Duke walked to the top of the hill and looked around, the nameless hill was clearly the remnants of the Boundary Range.

The Boundary Mountain Range is the mountain range that separates Cuihai Valley and Sheshou Town, extending from the northeast to the southwest, spanning hundreds of kilometers.

In fact, the Boundary Mountain Range is only a temporary name, and soon the Shenjiao City Union Tower will draw up a new name for it. At that time, a meeting of the five towers will definitely be held to name the geographical location around Cuihai City.

"It's Mutant Forest 3 over there, right?" Duke pointed to the east.

"Yes, sir."

The nameless hill is next to the No. 3 Mutant Forest, which is where the ancient maggot monster molts. Until now, the evil spirit has not dissipated, and the forest has been full of all kinds of animals and plants infected by the evil spirit, evil plants, evil beasts, and evil beasts everywhere.

"This is where the ancient spirit beast repels the ancient evil thing, so this small hill is called ......" Duke thought in his heart.

Then he said: "It's called Lingya Mountain." ”

The spirit beast knocked down the shell of the evil thing, and just knocked out half of the word "evil" and left a "tooth", Lingya Mountain, which is a wordplay that belongs to Duke.

"Lingya Mountain?" Mulali looked at the hill at her feet, "It's not like teeth." ”

Duke reached out and patted the little assistant's head: "Don't think about it, with your head, you can't figure out why when you think it's dark." ”

"Why is that?" Mulali asked unwillingly.

"Because there is no reason, I want to call it Lingya Mountain." Duke turned his head to look at Xena, "Your mercenary group is temporarily stationed in Lingya Mountain, and when I get the approval of the formalities, I will build the Mage Tower here, and you will protect the construction team." ”

"Yes, sir." Xena replied.

Although the strength of the greatest spirit beast in Cuihai Valley, the Black Jade Scorpion Clan, has been pulled out, the spirituality of the spiritual spring escaping still attracts a large number of spirit beasts.

Danger can happen all the time.

Just as he was about to take a spin around, Duke soon noticed that another team of shuttles was speeding from a distance, flying directly to the top of the mountain.

Stopped in front of Duke and his party.

Soon a group of people descended from the shuttle, led by a middle-aged man in the robe of the arcane and looking in his thirties.

When the middle-aged man saw Duke, he immediately showed a warm smile and strode over: "Your Excellency Duke, it's an honor to meet you. ”

"You are?"

"Allow me to introduce myself." The middle-aged man has an aristocratic temperament, "My name is De Riley Armored Rat, the 3rd Ring Arcanist, and the great-grandson of the 6-Ring Sky Arcanist, the chief director of the Elemental Tower of Runwu City, and the great-grandson of Viscount Deckert Armored Rat. ”

This long list of names is indeed bluffing.

Duke has been to Runwu City, so he naturally knows that Deckert Armor is a person, except for Loren Shan Kagome, the 7-ring arcane mentor, basically Deckert Armor is the second-in-command of the entire Wind Breath field.

"It turned out to be Lord De Riley." Duke returned the favor.

Then he asked, "Your Excellency came to Lingya Mountain on this trip, what is the so-called matter?" ”

De Riley Armored Mouse was surprised: "Does this nameless hill already have a name, Lingya Mountain, is that the name of the hill?" ”

"I just got up."

"Ah, that's a casual name from Lord Duke." De Riley smiled and said, "Then let's call it Lingya Mountain, I came this time to inspect the Twin Springs here, and prepare to build my mage tower here." ”

"Sir......" Mu Lali's eyes widened, and she met a land grabber.

Duke raised his hand, stopped what Mulari wanted to say, and looked at De Riley lightly: "You also fell in love with these twin springs?" ”

De Riley didn't seem to hear Duke's words.

He said enthusiastically: "Yes, my brother is already a 4-ring earth mage, and the Armored Rat family will be inherited by him, so I will go out to start my own foundation." Cuihai City is a new city with great prospects, and my great-grandfather wanted me to make a splash here. ”

"Heijiao River Land welcomes people with lofty ideals to come and develop, and His Excellency De Riley can investigate it to his heart's content." Duke responded with a few words.

Then he instructed Zina: "Garrison Lingya Mountain, the nearest mission is only this one." ”

Zina glanced at De Riley Armored Rat and the others, who were not far away, enjoying the scenery everywhere, and then nodded solemnly: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, the broken sword will not fall into the reputation of your adult, and you must guard Lingya Mountain for your adult, and don't let idle people disturb it." ”

"Don't overcomplicate things." Duke smiled lightly, "Just wait for my news." ”

Soon, the group got on the shuttle and left Lingya Mountain.

On the way, Mu Lali said angrily: "Sir, what kind of rat family is really annoying, come to rob our Lingya Mountain!" ”

"It's the Armored Rat family, Viscount Deckert Armored Rat, a powerful arcanist who has fought in the north and south, and has made great contributions to the expansion of the territory of the Wind Breath Realm."

"That can't let his great-grandson come to rob our Lingya Mountain!"

"He can't take it away." Duke turned his head to look out the car window, and a large area of trees had been cut down in the Green Sea Valley.

Only a few 2-ring spirit plants remained.

It's not that the mercenary group is unwilling to poach the 2-ring spirit plant, but the transplantation of the 2-ring spirit plant needs to be cautious. Therefore, in the exploration war, mercenary groups are generally not allowed to collect 2 ring spirit plants, but they will be rewarded once if they find one.

When the new city is built, these 2-ring spiritual plants may be removed or simply incorporated into the planning of the new city.

In the Shangxing City Community and Beverly Manor in Shenjiao City, there are some 2-ring spirit plants, which grew naturally hundreds of years ago.

It has never been moved.

"The news of the Armored Rat family is very well-informed, and the Twin Springs have not yet been announced to the public, so this De Riley has come to investigate...... Hehe, it's obviously Bernoulli, the old guy, who revealed the news to the Armored Rat family. Duke was clear.

But that didn't scare Duke.

He took the shuttle and rushed to the flight station that had just been built on the foundation of Cuihai City, and boarded the Shadow Chaser airship of the Suktara Mage Tower.

"Xiao Lili, you send someone to the post station and tell your father, I won't go back to Black Snake Manor today, and go back to Shenjiao City directly."

"Yes, sir."

The Shadow Chaser took off and returned to the Sukhtara Mage Tower in Shenjiao City before dark.

Without stopping, Duke took the shuttle again and rushed directly to the Keystone Mage Tower, where he met with Keystone Fury while having dinner.

"Lord Keystone, someone has come to rob the Twin Springs, you have to call the shots for me!" Duke recounted the situation of De Riley Armored Rat, "There is no doubt that Bernoulli saw that he could not compete for the Twin Springs and hooked up with the Armored Mouse family. ”

"Humph!" Keystone slapped the table, furious, "This old thing, in the Black Jiaohe River, but the heart is always outside!" ”

He said solemnly: "You can go back with peace of mind, I promised you this twin spring, unless Loren Shan Kagome comes in person, no one can snatch it away!" ”

Duke nodded back.

The news has been conveyed, there is a big man in front of him, and he can hide his merit and fame.
