Chapter 249: Breaking the Ground
Erudite Tower, in the fifty-seventh floor lounge, Duke sat cross-legged on a futon, blonde hair, pointed ears, and pale face, undoubtedly in elven form.
The rich spiritual particles poured into Duke's body like a whale swallowing, and then entered the spiritual sea in the void of his body.
The vision resonates and brings great blessings to the spiritual sea.
Once these spiritual particles entered, they were quickly pulled and filled onto the spectacle building on the second ring track, the Heart-Eye Beast.
But more spiritual particles passed through the second ring orbit, the first ring orbit, and landed on the very small, but infinitely huge spirit core.
The inner layer of the spirit core has been completed, and the outer layer has also enveloped most of it.
On Xiaoyi's work schedule, it is clearly shown that the current cultivation progress of the 2 Ring Arcane Law Scholars has reached 64.3% progress.
While time budgets are still unquantifiable, progress is blazing.
Now that he has been promoted to the 2nd Ring for less than three years, his cultivation progress has already passed halfway, and there is no doubt that he will break the record again.
I don't know how long it has been.
Duke fell from his elven form, and the chick gasped into the sea of air, and he took a sip of water from his teacup.
"It's time to rest, tomorrow is the day to witness the miracle!"
Following.
The staff waited early outside Duke's break room, and when Duke finished breakfast, they led Duke to the shuttle.
Fly straight to the Tower of the Arcanes.
This towering Tower of Offa exudes sacrosanct majesty as usual, and the light of the spiritual Ofa shines throughout the Holy City of Ofa.
In the distance in the Whale Song Mirror Lake, the big whale jumped out of the water and made a complaining whale song.
"Duke, you're here." The colored jellyfish swam in front of Duke as soon as he entered the tower, "Next, I'll lead you to the Academic Press Hall." β
"I'm sorry, Shell Wise."
"Serving you arcane mages is the purpose of my existence." The Shell Sage circled around Duke, "I'm curious to see what kind of interesting discoveries you've made. I love the phantom you invented, and if I could, I'd love for you to help me make a documentary. β
"Thank you for your enjoyment, but you are a documentary in your own right, and the years are in your memory." Duke replied.
"Having said that, the Phantom is really interesting, and the materials in the Offatari are stored in the form of Phantom Card Volumes, except for backing up a paper document. As I combed through the vast amount of information, I went through the stories of the past again, and I felt that there were so many that were worthy of being made into illusions. β
"You can put together a list of stories and give them to me, I have a film and television company that I can shoot them one after another. In addition, you can write your own story, and I will definitely find someone to shoot it. β
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Thank you so much, Duke." The Shell Wise Man took Duke on the Spirit Ladder, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the floor where the Academic News Hall was located.
The Shell Wise Man stopped in the staircase, and a smile appeared in his voice: "Go, Duke, write your own story, I believe it will be more exciting than the previous ones...... And I, just watching you from afar, cheering you on. β
After speaking.
The colorful jellyfish body of the Shell Wise Man slowly dissipated.
Duke straightened the collar of his clothes, and today he wore a very formal arcane robe, and his young face also looked mature against the backdrop of the arcane robe.
There is no staff to guide it.
In the Tower of Offah, the Shell Wise is free to choose whether or not to receive an Arcane, and when it does, there will be no staff to receive it.
Raise your wrist and glance at your watch.
This watch is an ornament, and the time is displayed on the vindictive holographic screen at all times.
"Whew!"
Duke exhaled a breath of turbidity and communicated with Xiaoyi in his heart: "Next, it's time for us to perform and prepare the speech." β
"Rest assured, master, the next moment is your highlight." Xiaoyi touted.
Waited, waited, waited.
It wasn't until the agreed nine o'clock that Duke pushed open the door and entered the backstage of the Academic News Hall, then lifted the curtain and walked into the News Desk of the Academic News Hall.
Boom!
Two bright lights hit Duke at the same time, making his whole person shine like a flash.
Click-click-click......
The flashes of the reporters in the audience are non-stop, and the lenses of the cameras are always away from Duke, such a scene is almost the same as a star press conference on the earth.
"Hi, I'm Duke."
Waving his hand to the audience, Duke stood in front of the microphone of the news station.
Soon, there was a round of untidy and warm applause from the audience, and in addition to the reporters, there were many arcane mages wearing arcane robes.
There are a few Duke acquaintances, such as the Supreme Council's Chairman of the Serthas, the Erudite Supreme Tower's Chief Councillor MaderΓ³n Rhodiola, the Observing Tower's Chief Councillor Lambert Raven, and the Knights' Abbey's Vice-President Godivan Stormstorm......
"I'm glad to be back here after three years of absence, bringing my latest scholarship."
"Three years ago, I received the title of Erudite Sage, becoming the youngest sage of naturalism. And in the past three years, I have also achieved three consecutive achievements of the Light of the Erudite Tower. But this time, in addition to bringing a new technology of naturalism, what I really want to bring is a new exploration in the field of card making. β
Everyone in the audience seemed to be whispering.
In fact, everyone thought that Duke's academic achievements would be inventions in the field of naturalism.
I didn't expect it to be the case.
Seeming to understand what everyone in the audience thought, Duke said with a smile: "Actually, my original identity was a card maker, because before I was promoted to Arcane Mage, I was an apprentice in a card repair shop, and I can have today's achievements, which are inseparable from the spirit card. β
He paused.
He pointed to the backstage door and said: "This time, my enlightenment mentor Penrose also came to the scene, and I invited him to come in the hope that he could witness my achievements in the field of card making, as I promised myself from the beginning, that I would become an excellent card maker!" β
After speaking.
Facing the backstage door, he said, "Mentor Penrose, I'm waiting for you." β
The door opened, and Penrose, who was a little bald, carried two large boxes with a little nervousness, and walked onto the news station.
Duke invited him to say a few words, and Penrose waved his hand quickly, then stepped aside.
Everyone in the audience didn't know what Duke was playing, so they all looked at Duke and the big box Penrose brought.
Duke opened the large box and skilfully took out a 1-ring slide card.
Then, facing the audience, Penrose in the background, continued to tinker with the big box, took out a projector, and placed it on the news table.
"This is 1 of the most basic slide cards, and it's very cheap."
Duke's voice is not hurried, and only academic results are not attractive. Only stories can move people's hearts, and he must connect the technology to himself in order to maximize the spiritual feedback.
"It's this slide card that brought me everything I have today. Because of it, I invented the technology of strong light; Because of it, I invented film and television technology; It is also because of it that I invented the optical storage technology. Today, it has become one of the best-selling spirit cards. β
"But."
Duke changed his tone and returned to the academic topic: "One day my assistant told me that the price of slide cards has increased, and the reason is very simple, the magic film is very popular, and the demand for magic cards is in short supply. Therefore, as one of the main materials, the slide card, as well as the illusion card, are all in short supply. β
"This makes me think hard, how can I make spirit cards like slide cards and illusion cards mass-produced?"
Turn your head.
He nodded to Penrose, who was waiting, and Penrose immediately turned on the projector, and the screen lit up, and a large slide card appeared on the screen.
Duke shook the slide card in his hand, then pointed to the slide card on the big screen behind him, and said loudly: "From the very beginning, when my mentor Penrose taught me to learn how to make cards, he told me that the spirituality on the card material was unevenly distributed, and it was impossible to make cards on a large scale. β
"Some large card companies hire card makers to use psionic resonance memory technology to make multiple batches of psychic cards at one time. Even the Arcane cards are drawn one by one, and even psionic resonance technology can't reduplicate the cards. β
"So, I'm just thinking, can't the spirit card really be copied?"
Along with Duke's explanation, still images began to play on the big screen, which was the scene of Duke in the laboratory, trying to make cards again and again.
There was a faint commotion in the audience, and many arcane mages seemed to realize something.
Penrose, who was standing behind Duke on the stage, was also stunned for a moment, and then looked at Duke's back incredulously.
Duke was still explaining to himself, facing everyone in the audience, and said: "It turns out that this is not the case!" β
Turning his head slightly, he looked at Penrose.
Penrose was stunned and didn't come back to his senses, waiting for Duke to blink at him several times before he remembered what he was going to do.
The two communicated in advance last night.
Penrose was in charge of cooperating.
At this time, he hurriedly pressed the button of the projector and switched to the next picture - this is the PPT designed by Duke.
On the big screen, an enlarged version of the spell model of the slide card appeared.
Only then did Duke turn around, look at everyone in the audience, and smile again: "There is an affinity between the spell model and the card material, which is determined by the attributes of psionic energy. It's just that we ignore one point, the complete spell model has been set to death, and only the incomplete spell model can always exude affinity. β
He casually pointed at it, and the picture on the big screen switched again, switching to a certain angle of the spell model, and there was a gap in this angle.
"After my experiments, I found that by keeping a small hole in this position and stabilizing it with a psychic field, this incomplete ring can maintain the activity of the energy line, and then automatically adjust the trajectory when compressed into the card material."
"Finally, fill in the gap with a little psionic energy, a brand new slide card, and that's it!"
The big screen behind it is back to the picture of the slide card.
Duke had a bright smile on his face: "The Ring of Imprint, I call this spirit card copying technique the Ring of Imprint. Maintain the activation state of the ring through the spiritual power field, imprint the ring in the card material, and let it adjust the angle and trajectory by itself, this is the ring of imprint! β
Rumble!
The audience erupted in exclamation.
Even the Arcane Master exclaimed on the spot: "This ...... How is this possible! β
"Nothing is impossible!" Duke raised his voice and lowered the exclamations from the audience, "The Ring of Branding was specially created for replication rings, and it can not only be branded on card materials, but also on array disks, contracts, puppet cores, and so on!" β
Everyone in the audience couldn't sit still, reporters frantically recorded, and photographers took a close-up of Duke's expression.
If it weren't for the Academic Press Hall, the Arcane Mages would have rushed to the news desk at once and asked him for details about the Ring of the Imprint.
In the face of this commotion, Duke was very satisfied and more calm: "This is what I discovered in the field of card making, but it is not limited to the field of card making, the precise definition, this is a new model of spiritual mystery, which I discovered." β
Wait for the commotion to subside a little.
He smiled again and said, "I know a lot of people who may not be able to accept it for a while, or still have doubts about the Ring of Branding. β
He beckoned to Penrose.
Suppressing his excitement about witnessing a great piece of technology, Penrose took out a special square instrument from the large box.
Duke took the instrument and put it on the table: "This is the spirit card branding instrument I developed by the way, I think, this should be regarded as another practical technical achievement of naturalism." I haven't forgotten that I was a learned man. β
Told a joke that wasn't funny.
Everyone in the audience was attracted by the ring of imprints, no one cheered, and there was not a single laugh.
"Xiaoyi, next time, pay attention to the feedback of the audience's emotions, this node is obviously not suitable for jokes." Duke complained silently in his heart.
Xiaoyi is also good: "Good master, Xiaoyi will learn this lesson and strive to make the master's next speech more perfect." β
The Spirit Card Imprint is turned on.
Duke pulled out a 1-ring slide card and a blank spirit card, and stuffed both spirit cards into the instrument.
While demonstrating, he explained: "Everyone, pay attention, I only need to press the switch, and this blank spirit card will be automatically copied into a slide card." β
The instrument makes a slight creaking sound.
Soon, the blank spirit card was spit out again, but it had become a 1-ring slide card.
The arcane masters and great arcane mages present had already locked their perception on the spirit card branding instrument, and copied the blank spirit card into a slide card, and used their perception to monitor the whole process, and there was no possibility that they could be secretly exchanged.
Other words.
They actually saw with their own eyes that Duke copied a slide card.
"Not only can civilian cards like slide cards be copied, but with a psionic box, Arcane cards can also be copied."
Duke continued to operate the instrument, and soon copied a Mirage card.
The theory has been said, the results have been shown, there is no doubt that the Ring of Imprints is real, and the spirit card can really be replicated.
"It was too sudden." Chairman Serthas stroked his beard, "If the spirit card can be copied at will, and ordinary people can equip the arcane card, doesn't it mean that the strength of the human race will be qualitatively improved?" β
"It's just a 1-ring spirit card." An arcane tutor next to him frowned.
Serthas retorted: "But if the Ring of the Imprint is established, the replication of the 2-ring spirit card and the 3-ring spirit card will be realized sooner or later!" Even a special combination of the 4-ring spirit card may be able to replicate it through the Ring of Imprint! β
The other arcane mentor shook his head and exclaimed, "If that's the case, then the future ...... I can't imagine it! β
Because of the scarcity of high-end combat power, human beings are trapped in cities and market towns, and cannot reclaim habitats for large areas of forests.
If everyone can equip Arcane cards, what is there to fear in the forest?
"That's it!"
Duke on the stage has already begun the final curtain call lines: "The Ring of Imprint, and this Lingka Imprinting Instrument, are the academic results I announced this time, thank you for participating in my academic press conference, exploring the path of spiritual mysteries, and encouraging you!" β
Bow down.
Duke and Penrose began to pack up the big box, but they left the spirit card branding device and a bunch of spirit cards and blank spirit cards on the stage.
Then he went back to the background.
And everyone in the hall, some of them couldn't wait to rush into the backstage, and some of them flocked to the news desk, ready to experience the spirit card branding instrument in person.
"Duke!" Serthas motioned for a few reporters to stand back, and he went backstage with a few of the Arcane Mentors.
"Lord Serthas, several adults." Say hello to Duke.
"Thinking back to the sage Igik, he invented the spirit card, and then the spirit card quickly became the cornerstone of the development of the Seven Towers Federation." An arcane teacher exclaimed, "Now that you have invented the Ring of Imprint, the spirit card will become more popular, and your credit is only to the sage Izikya." β
"Your Excellency, you have an overreputation, how can I be compared to the sages of Ijik, and I am just following him." Duke responded humbly.
Lingka is a real epoch-making invention.
Directly on the avenue of spiritual mysteries, a new realm was cleaved, so the sage Igik, because of this invention, was selected into the Valhalla Temple, and he deserved it forever.
"It's not just the spirit card, but also the fields that need to be painted and engraved rings, such as contracts, puppet cores, and array disks, and the brand ring has a place." Lambert Raven's expression was indifferent, but he spoke highly of the Ring of Branding, "This technique alone, next year Offata will add the Chief Sage, I will definitely recommend you." β
Duke's eyes lit up.
The chief sage of the Ofa Tower, this is a more noble status than the title of the sage, the sages of the Seven Towers Federation say that there are a lot less, but there are few who can become the chief sage of the Ofa Tower.
Because whether he can be promoted to the chief sage of the Offa Tower, in addition to major academic achievements, he must also prove that he is capable enough to lead the Federation of the Seven Towers to go higher and farther on the path of exploration of spiritual arcane.
"I am extremely honored to receive your affirmation, Lord Lambert, but I am afraid that I am too junior to be qualified as the Chief Sage."
Duke humbled again.
In front of a group of arcane teachers who are giants in academics, status, and practice, there is certainly no harm in being humble.
Serthas stroked his beard and smiled, "Lambert, then Duke has two votes for you and me." β
There are currently twenty-seven chief sages of the Offa Tower, all of whom are great figures at the level of arcane masters, and even the great arcane mages are rare.
If you really choose Duke.
I'm afraid that Duke will be the only person in the history of the Seven Towers Federation to be selected as the chief scholar of the Arfa Tower as an ordinary arcane mage.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't be elected, out of twenty-seven recommendation votes, Duke can get two, which is already a huge recognition of him.
A few arcane teachers just came over to take a look at Duke, and after a few words of chat, they dispersed.
Duke was left to be interviewed by reporters, and the reporters reluctantly let go of asking Duke at lunchtime.
Wiping the sweat from his head, Duke felt hollowed out again.
"Xiaoyi, counting the stories I heard, there is really not a drop left, and I am afraid I have nothing to say when I am interviewed by reporters in the future."
"Master, you're still writing a new story."
"I can't write fast, I can't really write fast, and the speed of writing stories can't keep up with the speed of reporters' questions, especially my scientific research results one after another...... If you invent any results in the future, I'm afraid there will be no good story to tell. β
Duke was a little confused.
But soon the fighting spirit was high again: "Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb; Franklin flew kites and caught lightning in the rain; Newton was smashed in the head by an apple and discovered gravity; Nobel invented explosives, but killed his younger brother; Kekule dreamed of an Ouroboros and found the Benzene Ring ......"
He followed Penrose towards Offata's restaurant.
While communicating with Xiaoyi in his heart: "You can adapt the stories of these scientists to me to see if they can be integrated into my experience and become my deeds." β
"As you wish, master." Xiaoyi replied cheerfully.
Find a private room in the restaurant.
Duke first said to Penrose, "You've worked hard today. β
"No, no, no, I don't have any hard work." Penrose still hadn't recovered from the shock he had previously felt, "To be honest, it should be the proudest thing in my life to witness the Ring of Imprints, and it was even more exciting than when I got the title of Card-Making Scholar." β
He glanced at Duke with a complicated look and sighed: "I really didn't expect you to create such a great achievement in such a short period of time. β
"It's not great, it's just that I like to think a lot and think of some good ideas."
"From a technical point of view, the ring of imprint may not be so deep, but just like the birth of the first spirit card, it is nothing more than a combination of ring and card. Judging whether a technology is great or not is not based on its depth, but on its value. β
Penrose said solemnly: "In my opinion, the value of the Ring of Imprints is destined to become a shining pearl on the path of spiritual arcane. β
After a pause, he added, "Master Lambert and Master Sel'sas have both said that they will recommend you to be added as the Chief Sage of the Offa Tower, and I also think that with the Ring of the Brand, you are qualified enough to be among the highest halls of the Offa Tower. β
Duke laughed when he heard this.
Then he said solemnly: "I won't pay attention to whether the Ring of Brands can push me to the position of the chief sage of the Ofa Tower, these are all foreign objects. β
Glancing out the window, the scenery was revealed.
Duke continued, "In the rest of my life, I will continue to delve into the spiritual arcane, which is the most fascinating treasure compared to the fame and fortune like floating clouds. Mentor Penrose, you know, I've longed to be on the highest peak in this world since I was still playing in the mud. β
Smile slightly.
Duke's tone became gentle, but the content was so firm: "Only then can I know the whole picture of this world, so that I have not come to this world in vain." β
silently added a sentence in my heart - it is not a vain crossing.
Penrose suddenly sighed: "This may be the gap between geniuses and ordinary people, the pattern and vision are not at the same level." β
I also silently added a sentence in my heart - this kind of words, I have been bragging to reporters all morning, I am not tired.
Afternoon.
The two returned to the Tower of Erudite and were greeted with great pomp.
Chief Director MadrΓ³n Rhodiola, who has always been known for his indifference, also said in a rare gentle tone: "Hold a banquet in the Erudite Tower in the evening to congratulate you on bringing new discoveries in the spiritual arcane field, and have a good rest in the afternoon." β
"Okay." Duke readily agreed.
However, I didn't get a break in the afternoon.
He was taken to a simple academic salon by Lampotton, the director of the Erudite Tower. The participants were basically arcane mages in the field of naturalism, with the title of scholar or even the title of sage, such as Linton Horned Cicada, who had descended on Shenjiao City before.
Around the Ring of Imprints, an afternoon of academic chats made Duke sleepy.
The details of academic research and so on, he directly handed them over to Xiaoyi to operate, so he was not very interested in this.
However, the crowd did not bother him too much.
After all, the Ring of Imprint is to put it bluntly, there is no technology that is difficult to understand, and everyone discussed many future developments around the Ring of Imprint.
Every time you discover the possibility of the Ring of Imprints, you have to praise Duke: "What a great academic achievement!" β
Meanwhile.
In the Offa Tower, the editorial office of the "Seven Towers Daily", reporters and editors are speeding up the revision and review, and there are even Omku mages on the side to provide consultants.
Ultimately.
The editors agreed that tomorrow's title should be embellished with words such as "earthbreaking" and "epoch-making."
"There is no doubt that this technology deserves so much praise that Duke Sage is about to change the world." "In the conceivable future, the Ring of Branding will become the basic technology in the fields of spirit cards, puppets, contracts, and formations. β
His tone gradually increased: "This is a new monument that mankind has discovered on the path of spiritual mystery! β
