Chapter 245: Phantom Explosion
Grandma Pheasant Feather has been transformed into the tower spirit of the Duke Sage Mage Tower.
Relying on the extension of the main backbone of the Mage Tower, it can swim from the Tooth Tip Spring to the Tooth Root Spring. Waiting for the subsequent castle construction to be completed, all areas of the entire Lingya Mountain will be the "shell" of Grandma Pheasant, and everything will be included in its monitoring.
And in the control of Grandma Pheasant, it can have absolute control of the Mage Tower.
Duke doesn't need to worry about whether Grandma Pheasant Feather will disobey him.
In the transformation ceremony of the tower spirit, the signing of the master and servant contract has been completed in the form of a contract, and whoever is the master of the mage tower will listen to whom.
In the realm of spiritual mysteries.
Basically, no one can get through the arcane mage's loophole.
"Pheasant Feather, the matter of Lingya Mountain, please leave it to you." Duke said goodbye to Grandma Pheasant Feather and left the Spire attic.
In the restaurant on the third floor, which had been renovated early, Carter Flamingo had prepared a sumptuous lunch for Duke and his partyβCuihai City had not yet been built, and there was no hotel to eat, so he could only entertain casually on the construction site.
James, the person in charge of Lingchi Farm, also came from the farm at the foot of the mountain to accompany Duke to lunch.
"My lord, the spiritual plant jade dew is ready, I have already discussed with His Excellency Carter, when the interior of the mage tower is renovated, a spiral upward aura belt around the mage tower will be arranged, and the spiritual plant jade dew will be transplanted in the spiritual energy belt."
James introduced.
The free spiritual particles escaping from the Tooth Tip Spring and the Tooth Root Spring are enough for most people to cultivate, but if they want to pursue a further spiritual energy environment, they have to use spiritual plants to sort it out.
It just so happened that Duke's own Lingchi Farm had a large number of Lingzhi Yulu infected by the 2-ring elf Ben Lingzhi-Ji Yulu. Although these gyokuro are mainly based on 1 ring, they are better than enough in large quantities to sort out a rich spiritual aura.
"The idea of the aura belt is good, it's okay." Duke nodded in agreement.
Carter said, "Your Excellency James said that there are too few 2-ring jade dew in Lingchi Farm, and it is difficult to buy enough 2-ring jade dew on the market, so the effect of the aura belt is not enough. It is also necessary to buy more spiritual plants from the outside world that can be grown indoors. β
"Buy." Duke waved his hand, "You are familiar with the spirit plant, James, you are responsible for purchasing the spirit plant, and then planting it in the mage tower." β
"Yes, sir!" James gladly responded.
Procurement has always been the most oily and watery project, and Duke has no moral cleanliness, and within reason, he doesn't mind his subordinates getting some oil and water.
Once overdone, Duke will naturally make a move.
As for whether it can be found out that subordinates are making fake accounts and fishing for oil and water, this is simply a question for Duke, and there is nothing to hide in front of Xiaoyi - the market price of every commodity, the loss of every project, Xiaoyi can find out.
"Carter, the spirit plant on the mountain, you also have to start as soon as possible." Duke added, "When the mage tower is up and running, and there are more and more people, the castle must be built as soon as possible." I'm very satisfied with this mage tower, so the castle is still in your hands. β
"Thank you, sir, for your trust!" Carter was overjoyed.
Then he solemnly promised: "You can rest assured that we, the Flamingo Construction Group, have already done a good job of the castle plan when designing the plan for the Mage Tower. We didn't touch any of the native spirit plants on the mountain, and we will integrate them directly into the castle! β
"That's good."
Although it is possible to transplant spirit plants, Duke still prefers native spirit plants, that is, wild spirit plants that have never been transplanted.
The original spirit plant always gave him a natural, natural breath.
Although Lingya Mountain has been reclaimed, he still hopes to retain a little of its original appearance, and these original spirit plants are the best to preserve.
"My castle, I want it to be a green castle, Carter, I want the castle to be hidden in the greenery. The castle is a garden, the garden is a castle, and walking in the castle is like walking in nature. β
"Understood, sir." Snap headers.
Compared to other bizarre requirements, the Green Castle is simply not worth mentioning.
Throughout lunchtime, Duke described his vision for the castle and the Lingya Mountain.
Carter listened carefully and memorized, his mind was all about work, and he didn't know what the food tasted like when he ate it.
In the afternoon.
Accompanied by James, Duke went to the new site of Lingchi Farm, which is now listed as Lingchi No. 2 Farm.
Originally, the Lingchi Farm on the periphery of the Suktara Mage Tower became the No. 1 Lingchi Farm.
The two mage towers are already Duke's property, and there is absolutely no reason to give up one of them, so both hands should be hard.
At this time, in Lingchi No. 2 Farm, the scale of Gyokuro was still small.
However, the scale of the blowing snow pillars has grown, and a large number of blowing snow pillars have sprouted and grown small shoots.
"In the Snow Blowing Pillar in the No. 3 Mutant Forest, several growth areas have been protected, and the mercenaries have divided these growth areas according to the background. Among the big people who are interested in blowing snow pillars, you have the highest status, so the Broken Sword Mercenary Group has monopolized the largest growth area. β
"Yes." Duke was surprised.
But it was soon relieved.
Although the No. 3 Mutant Forest belongs to the public area of the Black Jiaohe Land, after all, everything in the Black Jiao River Land is the final word of the Arcane Master.
Keystone Fury Waves is not interested in blowing snow pillars, and in the Grand Arcian mage sequence, Duke is interested alone. Naturally, the Broken Sword mercenary group relied on Duke's private hire to occupy the largest growth area.
No one gossips, this is the default rule of the Seven Towers Federation.
"So now that the blowing snow pillar is ripe and assembled, the broken sword can send a large number of spore powder, and the Lingchi Farm will no longer be short of seeds." James laughed.
Since choosing to pledge allegiance to Duke, he has become a vassal of Duke.
Although he has lost a certain amount of freedom, as Duke's status has been rising, he is now a guest wherever he goes.
For example, at lunchtime, even an aristocratic mage like Carter Flamingo had to talk to him on an equal footing.
It made his work more energetic.
"For the cultivation of the blowing snow pillar, don't be perfunctory." Duke admonished.
"Don't worry, my lord."
"Go back, I'm going to take a stroll in the No. 3 Mutant Forest." Duke sent James back, took his Cavaliers with him, and entered the No. 3 Mutant Forest.
In contrast to the surrounding forests, the No. 3 Mutant Forest is colourful and full of bells and whistles.
All kinds of strange plants almost subvert Duke's perception of the natural worldβtrees with tentacles, flowers with mouths, leaves with eyes, fruits with human faces, and shrubs running around with legs......
It's a place of the grotesque, where the boundaries between animals and plants are blurred.
There are far fewer evil beasts than the ubiquitous evil plants, but they are also more bizarre. Muntjac woven from rattan, wild boars covered with flowers, owls with slender leaves flying in flight, and many more like rotting zombies.
"What the hell is a god of sin?" Duke sat on his grey horse, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.
The gods who have been dead for hundreds of millions of years are just a fading shell, and even the main body of the shell has been destroyed by the Great Arcane mages, and the little evil qi that remains can still change everything.
Siscoli once said that sin is the opposite of spirituality.
The gods feed on spirits, and they especially like to devour spiritual springs, and when they swallow a mouthful of spiritual springs, they leave scars on the earth.
In the Wind Breath realm alone, there are dozens of earth scars.
It represents dozens of spiritual springs, which were devoured by the gods in ancient times.
As for the No. 3 mutant forest in front of him, it is obviously not a scar on the earth, at most a scar on the surface of the earth. Earth scars can affect and distort even arcane mages; Earth scars will affect ordinary animals and plants.
"I don't understand!" Duke sighed in his heart.
He is even more firm in his conviction: "Therefore I must climb to the top of the spiritual mysteries, otherwise I will know nothing about this world!" β
β¦β¦
After finishing his trip to Lingya Mountain, Duke stayed at the Black Snake Manor for another night, and the next day he set off to return to the Sukhtara Mage Tower.
It's already April and May.
More than a dozen Phantom Opera houses in Shenjiao City are still playing "Romeo and Juliet" on a continuous reel, and the citizens seem to have seen it too much, and some people have even watched it more than a dozen times.
"The box office of this fantasy film alone, our Black Jiaohe Land alone, has reached 100,000 gold dragons, which is too exaggerated, Duke." Kyria leaned into Duke's arms and whispered an account, "Even if you have to divide the account and deduct the cost, DreamWorks' box office revenue in Shenjiao City can reach 50,000 gold dragons." β
"Romeo and Juliet" was screened for nearly four months at about 20 Phantom Opera houses in Heijiaohedi.
One Phantom Ticket, priced at 2 Silver Dragons.
A Phantom Opera House has four or five screening rooms, each with a capacity of 100 people, and can show about eight shows a day.
The field is full in order to achieve today's results.
"We can earn 50,000 gold dragons in Heijiao River alone, and according to today's momentum, it is not difficult to earn another 30,000 gold dragons in the future. The expected income of the entire wind breath field is not less than 400,000 gold dragons. Expanding to the entire Seven Towers Federation, 4 million golden dragons are likely to wow! β
The more Kiriya calculated, the more excited she became, Rao was born in a big aristocratic family, grew up in the pile of money, and was still crazy about it.
Wrapping his arms around Duke's neck, he kissed wildly: "You're amazing, Duke!" β
Waiting for the wild kiss to subside, Duke licked his lips before saying, "Your calculation is too idealistic, it is not easy to get the account-sharing box office in the outside field, and even the account-sharing box office in other cities in the field is difficult to get." β
"I know that." Kyria had regained her senses and said softly, "Take it as much as you can, no matter what, the income of 500,000 gold dragons should always be guaranteed...... In this fantasy film, the eyes of many big people are staring, and the eating appearance of other fields and cities should be a little more restrained. β
"500,000 golden dragons, almost." Duke nodded.
Unlike royalties, this kind of fantasy film release is a new business model, and it is difficult to protect the income until the rules are set.
Even the excuses are easy to find - people have already bought phantom card rolls, paid the copyright fees, how many people will watch it next, how much will they earn, and what does it have to do with your dream factory?
"I would write to the Erudite Tower, suggesting to them that a detailed box office sharing model should be developed to establish the content rights for the fantasy film. However, whether or not the Erudite Supreme Tower will promote this model is not for me to decide. β
"Your box office sharing model has taken into account the interests of the producer, distributor and theater chain, and the learned arcane mages of the Tower will definitely pass it." Kiria had a look of adoration in her eyes, and her confidence was greater than that of Duke.
To put it bluntly, she is just a 23-year-old young girl.
After being promoted to arcane mage at the age of eighteen, for five years, he was constantly affected by Duke's influence.
Worship is also inevitable.
"Whatever it is, it's erudite, how the Tower decides." Duke pinched Kiria's slightly baby fat face, and felt very good, "After the 500,000 gold dragon arrives this time, you can make up part of the funds burned by DreamWorks in the early stage, and finally you don't need to refinance." β
"yes."
"Then my sweet little rich woman, should you have a treat?"
"DreamWorks also has a part of Duke you, albeit only on your behalf." Kyria smiled, "I'm a little rich woman, but you've long been a rich man." β
DreamWorks makes a lot of money, but the Giant of Light, which produces phantom cards and projection equipment, also makes a lot of money.
DreamWorks is in the box office account, and it is difficult to recover the box office in other fields.
The Giant of Light is protected by patents, as well as the restrictions of the master disk, and all the Phantom Card Scrolls are produced here. As for the equipment patents, they are all in the hands of Duke, even if the cape is the end of the world, the patent fee that should be given is indispensable.
"I said it was on behalf of the company, but ......," Duke hooked Kiria's chin, "I've decided to transfer this part of DreamWorks to our future children." β
Kiria's eyes were filled with a layer of mist: "Do you want him to be born now?" β
"Why not."
Duke deceived himself.
But Kiriya pushed him away with a charming smile on her face: "Then you should get my parents' consent first." β
He smiled and ran away, leaving Duke's office.
With a residual warmth in his hands and a residual body fragrance on the tip of his nose, Duke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "Sure enough, the women who can be promoted to arcane mages are not ordinary little girls...... The part of willpower cannot be compared. β
But.
He hadn't planned to go to Kiria's parents, everything was going to be natural.
"Xiaoyi, sort out today's experimental process." Duke tidied up his somewhat messy clothes and began his formal work for the day.
"Okay master, you need to preside over the experiment of 'Ring Replication Materials - Effect Sorting of General Spiritual Materials' this morning, and obtain the effects of the general materials currently on the market and add them to the ring replication system to expand the ring replication material database."
Xiaoyi reminded her wholeheartedly.
Duke is in the field of alchemy, and he has basically learned what he should learn, and now he is starting to start basic research.
First of all, fully grasp the attributes of various general spiritual materials, expand Xiaoyi's database, and lay the foundation for truly building ring replication materials in the future - after all, Xiaoyi's calculation needs solid data support, and the more data, the higher the probability of success in calculation.
Hectic and busy, the day passes.
In the evening, Duke took the little assistants and the big knights for a walk after dinner, and then returned to Tower 2 to rest.
Sit cross-legged on the bed and turn on the elven form.
Rich free spiritual particles, like a huge whirlpool, surged towards his body.
In the spiritual sea, eleven visions and three mysteries are all in an endless disillusionment and produce a strange resonance rhythm.
This is a vision resonance, which greatly improves the efficiency of the meditation method in absorbing spiritual particles, and it is a cultivation method that only the 2-ring arcane mage can master.
Without vision resonance, the construction of the Wonder will be slowed down.
Inner view of the sea of spirits.
Duke's mind instantly crossed the boundless distance of the spiritual sea and drove to the center of the spiritual sea, where the arcane wonders and the hands of the arcane weapons on the first ring orbit operated steadily. The Elemental Shield and the Second Ring Sand Eagle are also operating steadily in the second ring track, and the Heart-Eyed Beast is under construction.
Farther away, the Nine Rings Art runs leisurely.
However, Duke's gaze directly crossed several layers of orbit and fell on the very central spirit core, which had just been promoted to the second ring, and the spirit core had already formed a spherical structure from zigzag energy lines. At this time, a new layer of structure protruded from the surface of the spirit core of the sphere.
It still maintains the structure of the sphere, but the surface is larger, there are more twists and turns, and the spiritual arcane cognition that it accommodates is also larger.
He glanced at the work schedule not far away.
Process 1 has always been an exclusive meditation method, in which the cultivation progress has reached 23.4%, and it has only been two years since he was promoted to the 2nd Ring Arc Mage.
Most 2-ring arcane mages may only build an arcane wonder in two years.
If you want to go from 2 rings to 3 rings, it will take 30 years at the shortest. With the addition of 1 ring to 2 rings, it generally takes more than ten years; The age of promotion to arcane mage is generally over twenty years old. Therefore, most of the 3-ring arcane mages are at least over sixty years old.
And now, Duke's cultivation progress can be called superb.
"It's wonderful, my mind is sublimating all the time, and I can often understand more about spiritual arcane law by looking ahead." Duke couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This is spiritual feedback, the people of the entire Seven Towers Federation are helping me to cultivate!" β
A "Romeo and Juliet" directly pushes film and television technology to thousands of households, and the people who feel the charm of film and television technology can be admired in their hearts.
So.
The complex mapping of spirituality will bring spiritual feedback to Duke and assist him in his rapid cultivation.
Nowadays, the spiritual arcane is rapidly sinking to the bottom, and the naturalism promoted by the Erudite Tower plays a vital role, and the rapid development of the Erudite Tower is naturally related to the fact that the Armagers have gradually explored the operating principle of spiritual feedback.
In the past, ordinary people were only regarded as servants and even slaves by the arcane mages to train their offspring and provide resources.
Today's ordinary people can assist the arcane mage in his cultivation.
Therefore, the aristocracy was gradually abolished, and the bottom society was vigorously developed, and then the spiritual arcane law was backward compatible to obtain more spiritual feedback.
I don't know how many arcane mages have benefited from this.
The wonderful feeling was intoxicating, and Duke continued to practice like this until the chick was tired and panting, and then he finished his evening practice.
"Spiritual feedback is ferocious, and this is just the beginning of film and television technology!"
Duke clenched his fists and looked forward to the upcoming era of film and television entertainment, which can be said to be completely born for him.
This is indeed the case.
As soon as June arrived, "Romeo and Juliet" was already decadent in Shenjiao City, and DreamWorks released a second fantasy film.
Although "Romeo and Juliet" is still in theaters in other cities, large and small film and television companies have sprung up, placing orders with the Giant of Light for professional cameras, phantom cards and projection equipment.
The Phantom Opera House was also opened one after another, and everyone was attracted by the money scene of the explosion of Phantom Films, and they rushed to invest in it.
Coupled with the impetus of the Erudite Tower, the entire Federation of Seven Towers is advocating fantasy films.
"Romeo and Juliet" is destined to go down in the history of the Federation of Seven Towers, and Duke is even more touted as a generation of great writers.
The reason is simple.
"Romeo and Juliet" has been adapted into a film by DreamWorks' contracted playwrights and writers, and published under the name of Duke.
Compared with the phantom films, which can only be seen in the Phantom Opera House, once released, they were quickly obtained by publishing houses in various fields, and then quickly printed and published in their respective territories, and then sold out by the public.
If you can't see a fantasy movie that is blown to explode, then read the book first.
As a result, Duke became a generation of great writers - there is no conflict between the Omal and the great writer, many of whom have outstanding achievements in the field of art, playwrights, musicians, poets, painters, dancers, and so on.
"The Girls of Talia is far less popular than Romeo and Juliet" when it was released, and the evaluation is not as good as "Romeo and Juliet"."
In the Erudite Tower, Erwin sipped tea and chatted with Duke.
Duke smiled: "Romeo and Juliet consumed most of the enthusiasm of the people, and it is normal for "The Girls of Talia" to be cold, after all, the ticket price of two silver dragons will scare off many people. Especially in a small border city like ours. β
The purchasing power of a silver dragon is, in Duke's opinion, equivalent to about a hundred pieces on earth.
At that time, the economy was highly developed, and there were people shouting that the ticket price of dozens of yuan was expensive, not to mention that Shenjiao City was still in a backward social environment.
The people really don't have money.
When he first crossed over, he worked as an apprentice, and he only received a salary of five silver dragons a month, and his regular job was only fifteen to twenty silver dragons a month.
"It's still not good enough, "The Girls of Talia" is a fantasy film adapted from a stage play, and the screenwriting skills are not good, compared to you, it is indeed far worse." Erwin smiled and said, "You're a famous writer. β
"It's just a hype from the outside world that doesn't know the truth."
"It's not a boast." Erwin said in a rare and serious manner, "You do have a strong talent in literature, you can see this by looking at your thesis, I can say that there are more than 300 arcane mages in the entire Shenjiao City, and no one's thesis is more artistic than your thesis." β
The paper refers to the academic value, but the artistry of the article itself is also a consideration.
Duke smiled.
Who called Xiaoyi has eaten through tens of thousands of high-quality essays and refined a perfect and reliable essay writing method.
"The Phantom Industrial Base is now booming, and the status of Shenjiao City's entertainment capital has begun to emerge." Erwin continued, "Recently, I don't know how many people from other places have come to visit DreamWorks to look for Romeo and Juliet. β
The entertainment industry already exists, and the behavior of chasing stars will naturally rise.
"Isn't it good, if you can keep these tourists in Shenjiao City, it will be even better." Duke nodded.
"Yes, there are two cities in Heijiaohedi, and there is an urgent shortage of population."
"I think the Union Tower should guide these tourists and guide them to Cuihai City, so that they can know about the welfare benefits of Cuihai City. Whether it is for tourists to stay or for tourists to return home, it is very beneficial to promote it to relatives and friends. β
"You're right, I'll suggest it to Lord Keystone...... By the way, the film and television base you mentioned, let's talk about it in detail. β
Now Erwin only cares about how to make Shenjiao City an entertainment capital.
Duke also followed Erwin's thoughts, and briefly described the idea of a film and television base, imitating typical buildings in major cities, attracting major film and television production teams to station, standardizing the extras industry, and sounding equipment rental businesses......
"Fantasy films have begun to explode, the real era of entertainment is coming, Your Excellency Erwin, whether Shenjiao City can become an entertainment capital depends on you."
"It's my duty!"
Erwin said sonorously and forcefully, and his actions were not inferior, and his children and grandchildren have opened more than a dozen related film and television companies.
The cinematography was also directed by DreamWorks, and a fantasy film was successfully completed independently in July.
Similar film and television companies, similar fantasy films.
With Shenjiao City as the center, following the trend of "Romeo and Juliet", it was quickly released to the outside world, one after another good phantoms and bad phantoms, which greatly enriched the people's spare time life and gradually became a habit of watching movies.
And the audience attracted by these phantoms, many people spontaneously came to Shenjiao City to chase stars, which also made Shenjiao City's economy and population get many benefits.
Of course.
The biggest beneficiary of the benefits is Duke.
The surging spiritual feedback made him have divine help in his cultivation, and the progress of the 2 rings of the spirit core skyrocketed like a fly. Countless difficulties related to spiritual mysteries have been solved in this spiritual feedback, and the cognition has been continuously improved.
"Explode, Phantom!"
"Keep outbreaking, more violent!" Duke looked at the latest issue of the Spiritual Arcane Monthly, and glanced at the ten lines.
But the papers in the journal are already clear.
