"Alya, do you want to watch the phantom together at night, at night, I—I got a ticket!" The young man of the small town came to the window of his beloved girl and stumbled up the two phantom tickets in his hand.

Arya in the bungalow, who was originally a little careless in the mirror to make up, turned her head when she heard that the young man in the small town had bought a phantom ticket.

The freckled face became slightly excited: "You got the phantom ticket, really, is it Romeo and Juliet?" ”

"Yes, yes." The young man of the small town happily waved the phantom ticket in his hand, "The Phantom Opera House in the town has just opened, and today there is only this phantom, so I added money and grabbed two tickets with two seats in the hands of the workers in the factory." ”

"That's great, Barris, I promise you to go see Romeo and Juliet together in the evening!" Alia nodded happily in agreement, "I've wanted to watch Romeo and Juliet for a long time, but unfortunately the tickets were sold out a week early!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Barris clenched his fist hard, "Then I'll go to work first, and I'll pick you up after work." ”

"Okay, let's go to work, I'm going to work too."

Watching Barris run away happily, Arya quickly put on her makeup, and then went out to work herself. Arriving at a factory outside town with billowing black smoke, Arya quickly put on her mask and walked into one of the factories.

The factory is full of female workers, standing in front of the machine assembly line, responsible for tightening the covers of the lamps.

It is a lamp production factory.

"Alya, you're here." The workers greeted her, and then each came to their own posts to replace the previous workers.

Changing people does not change the guard, and the factory is open almost 24 hours a day.

The women were chatting and busy with their work, and before they knew it, an hour had passed, when someone began to talk about the newly opened Phantom Opera House in town.

"My friend went to the Phantom Opera yesterday and she said Romeo and Juliet was so good, even better!" A female worker said.

"yes, yes, I want to see it too, but I can't get a ticket."

"How can there be tickets, the tickets will be gone in a week, there are three halls in the Phantom Opera House, but only one hall can show magic films."

"Why then, what about the other two halls?"

"I heard that the phantom card scroll is not enough, and the phantom card scroll in this hall is still the arcane master in the town, who went to the city to grab it." The female worker said regretfully, "It's a pity that we don't live in the field of wind breath, and we watched Romeo and Juliet at the beginning of last year!" ”

"Yes, "Romeo and Juliet" was filmed by DreamWorks, and it is said that the company owned by Duke Sage has made a lot of fantasy films."

"Duke Sage is really handsome, I heard that he is even more handsome than Romeo in Phantom!"

"It's a pity that everything is slow in our place, and it's been more than a year since the Phantom Film came out, and we just opened the first Phantom Opera House here, and we can't grab tickets yet!"

"Who told us to be far away from the hometown of Duke Sage, one in the Wind's Breath Realm in the west, and the other in the Burning Light Realm in the east, separated by a hundred and eight thousand miles! If it's not too far, I'd like to visit DreamWorks. ”

Hearing this, Alia, who had been silent, suddenly said, "I'm going to see "Romeo and Juliet" tonight. ”

"Ah, do you have a ticket?" The worker next to him suddenly exclaimed.

"Someone asked me to see the phantom, where can I grab a ticket." Arya said with a smile.

"Wow, who invited you, let me guess, it can't be Newland, right? Isn't it, that's Lipton? It's not, oh, I see, it's Barris, right! ”

Arya didn't deny it at this point.

However, in the face of the coaxing of the workers, she just smiled and said: "It's just a fantasy movie, I have nothing to do with him, don't talk nonsense, it's not good for people to misunderstand." ”

"Don't worry, how can we talk nonsense."

After the female worker finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at each other with another female worker, each showing a disdainful expression.

At the same time.

In another room of the factory, Barris chatted with his buddies over the cacophony of machines.

"I've got an appointment with Arya!"

"Okay, Barris, take Arya down without a word."

"Not yet, but it's almost there, I paid a lot of money this time, and gave away two months' salary, just to grab two fantasy films of "Romeo and Juliet"."

"No, two months' salary?" The good buddy smacked his tongue, "You're too exaggerated, wait a few days for the ticket to be nervous, and then buy it, at most three days' salary!" ”

"So you don't understand." "I've seen the reports, and many of the couples who have seen Romeo and Juliet have just left the gates of the Phantom Opera House and gone to the Union Tower to register their marriage!" ”

As he spoke, he leaned into the ear of his good buddy and said: "The most important thing is that after watching "Romeo and Juliet", many people directly brought their girlfriends into the hotel! ”

"Tut-tut!" The good buddy was tickled by the provocation, "It's really fake, as for it, it's just a fantasy movie!" ”

"You know what!" Barris suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a certificate of authorization posted on the wall of the factory, "See what it says, this factory has been granted the right to use the patent of strong light technology by the erudite sage Duke." ”

"What's the matter, what does it have to do with this?"

"Duke, Master Duke!" Barris looked at a fool, "Romeo and Juliet is a fantasy film written by Lord Duke. Lord Duke, do you know, the most loved master of the Seven Towers Federation! ”

As soon as you say this, the good buddies will understand: "Yes, Master Duke, "Romeo and Juliet" is a spiritual guide!" ”

"So I understand, didn't you chase Lillian for a few months and didn't get it, take advantage of the difficulty of buying tickets for "Romeo and Juliet", hurry up and grab two, maybe tomorrow you can take Lillian to a rental house to live together! Don't blame the buddies for not passing on your experience. ”

The good buddy was itching, but his face looked entangled: "Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, if the two-month salary is lost, I will drink the northwest wind to ......"

"What are you talking about?" A bearded overseer suddenly walked over and sternly reprimanded the two, "If you don't work well during working hours, who gave you the right to chat here!" ”

The two can only apologize and curry favor with each other.

I secretly stuffed a pack of cigarettes over.

The bearded supervisor scolded with a cold face: "Hurry up and work, there will be a next time, everyone will be deducted from one day's salary!" ”

Barris and the buddies stopped talking.

After working until the end of the day, Barris hurriedly left the factory and waited for Alya at the factory gate.

Then head straight to the town's newly opened Phantom Opera House.

"I bought soda and melon seeds." After finding a seat, Arya opened her handbag, "They said that it is best to bring soda melon seeds to watch fantasy movies." ”

"Ah, Arya, you're so careful, I—I didn't expect that at all." Barris watched the screening room fill up and somehow began to get nervous.

Arya's face, which was neither beautiful nor ugly, was particularly seductive in his eyes.

Fortunately, the opening time was not long, and soon the lights dimmed, and projection images began to appear on the big screen.

Arya began to watch the movie seriously.

Barris always thinks about Arya, and is a little absent-minded about the story on the big screen.

However, by the time the story progresses to a climax, Barris's absent-mindedness has completely disappeared, and the whole person is attracted to the story. This story, although it has a drama performance style, is so real that people can't help but fall into it.

The fantasy film shot in the real scene is more suitable for ordinary people than the drama art performance.

Arya and Barris, as well as the rest of the audience in the screening room, were silent, following the joys and sorrows of the characters in the phantom.

In a dark corner.

An arcane mage old man, and a middle-aged knight, looked at the empty seats in the hall and whispered in satisfaction.

"Opening the Phantom Opera House is the most correct choice the family has made recently, not only the residents of the town are willing to buy tickets to watch, but even the residents of the next town have rushed to grab tickets."

"It's a pity that the phantom card roll is not easy to get, uncle, you only got a volume because of the relationship."

"There's no way around it, the Wind Breath Realm is too far away from our Burning Realm, especially since DreamWorks is still on the border. But it doesn't matter, looking at the current momentum, fantasy films are promising, local film and television companies have been launched, and soon we will be able to show our own fantasy films. ”

"Yes, three film and television companies have recently been established in the city, and it is said that the spirit factory has also obtained the patent authorization for the phantom card scroll, and is stepping up the production of equipment, and it should be able to make a phantom film by the end of the year."

"I'm afraid it's hard."

"Why is that?"

"As far as I know, the phantom card scrolls and photographic equipment produced by the Spirit Artifact Factory need to be supplied to the Five Towers first, and there is excess capacity before they can be provided for film and television companies." "This is a great naturalist invention, and phantoms are just the simplest use, compared to storing knowledge. ”

"Use phantoms to store spiritual arcane knowledge?" The Grand Knight was thoughtful.

"Images are three-dimensional, dynamic, and spiritual arcane knowledge that words could not carry in the past can be realized with phantoms...... It is foreseeable that in the future, the spread of spiritual arcane will be carried out in a more violent way with film and television technology. ”

The old man said, and sighed again: "No wonder Duke Sage invented film and television technology, and the Erudite Supreme Tower awarded him the title of Erudite Sage for the first time, adults look at technology with a longer vision than us, we can only wait for the fantasy film to be filmed, in order to feel the power." ”

The big knight suddenly thought of something: "Uncle, have you read this morning's "Seven Towers Daily", I read that it said that Duke Sage has invented the Ring of Imprint, which can copy the spirit card, and the price of the spirit card will plummet in the future." ”

The old man glanced at the great knight strangely and asked, "Torres, after reading the introduction of the Ring of Branding, the only thought is that the price of the spirit card will plummet?" ”

Facing the old man's questions.

Torres smiled a little awkwardly: "Well, the price of the puppet and the contract should be ...... Will it go down too? ”

Suddenly, the old man lost all interest.

Waving his hand, he left the dimly lit screening room: "Let's go, I'm a little tired." ”

When he got out of the Phantom Opera House, the old man seemed to think of something, and said, "By the way, as for the idea that you want to be transferred back to the town, my suggestion is to dispel this idea. The family's mercenary group can't do without you, Torres, and continue to go to the forest to grab resources. ”

"Uncle......" Torres still wanted to intercede, but the old man had already left quickly.

He stood there for a moment.

Torres still couldn't figure it out: "Did I say something wrong, Ring of Branding...... The newspaper said that the Ring of Branding could not copy spirit cards, puppet cores, array disks, and contracts? If you can copy it in large quantities, the price will naturally plummet? ”

Reflecting on it, Torres doesn't feel like he's wrong.

Since he is not wrong, it must be someone else who is wrong: "Uncle, he has something wrong with his brain!" ”

At this time, the door of the Phantom Opera House opened, and a group of men and women with red eyes or tears walked out.

Torres didn't bother to meet these civilians and left directly.

He muttered in his heart: "The Phantom Opera House was opened at my suggestion, and the facts have proved my vision, and I am definitely no worse than Thomas in managing the whole town!" Uncle is still partial, afraid that I will rob his illegitimate son Thomas of the mayor's position! ”

"What a hate!"

"This selfish family!" Torres cursed and left.

On the other side, Barris also hugged Alia, whose eyes were red from crying, and left the crowd and walked towards his rental room.

"Wipe your tears, Arya."

"It's so touching, Romeo died for Juliet, Juliet died for Romeo, and even turned into a butterfly after death!"

"yes, touching!" Barris nodded heavily, he wanted to cry when he saw it.

"But why is Master Duke so ruthless, if he has to write Romeo and Juliet to death, can't he let them run away together, and then find a place where they will not be disturbed, and live the rest of their lives happily?"

Barris chimed in, "Yes, Lord Duke is so ruthless. ”

Arya suddenly raised her head and looked at Barris seriously: "If one day, I die, Barris, will you be martyred for me?" ”

Not really.

Barris learned the lines from the phantom and said affectionately, "Of course, Arya, you are all I have!" ”

Alia emotionally grabbed Barris's arm: "Go to your house, hurry up!" ”

Barris's eyes widened, his blood pressure was already soaring, and he grabbed Arya with his backhand and ran quickly towards his rental room.

At the same time, in my heart, a thousand times and ten thousand times thanks.

"Thank you, Master Duke, in the future, you can make fantasy movies, and you can shoot even more miserable."

……

The Knight's Monastery is a subordinate institution of the Faling Tower, responsible for the coordinated management of all the Knight's Monastery in the entire Federation.

And promote the way of knighthood and teach the cultivation of the blood sea.

The Knight's Monastery is not located in the Arcane City, but in the city of Pegasus, one of the lakeside cities, which, like the city of Blue Whale Bay, is a satellite city of the Arch Guardian of the Ofa Holy City.

However, the population size is not smaller than that of the central city of one area.

It can also be said that the Eighteen Satellite Cities of Alpha and its surroundings account for nearly a quarter of the population of the Seven Towers Federation.

The area around Whale Song Mirror Lake is the largest human habitat currently developed by the Seven Towers Federation.

"Pegasus Island City is the city with the largest number of registered knights among the eighteen lakeside cities, and the mages who live here are basically dual cultivators of the Spirit Sea and Blood Sea, and they also have the status of knights." Janis Ice Crown, greets Duke at the agreed place.

"Indeed, along the way, I saw a lot of knights dressed as mercenaries, as well as quite a few mercenary regiment headquarters stationed there."

Duke smiled and looked up, examining the sign of the Knight Monastery in front of him.

Instead of the ornate and sprawling castle complexes you might expect, the Knights' Monastery resembles a dilapidated knight's manor house from thousands of years ago.

"A lot of people like to call us old riders." Janis is no longer in the same charming way she was last night, wearing leather armor and looking sassy and heroic.

"I've heard that."

"We don't deny it, but it's a sin to say that we miss the days of knighthood. No one will miss the days of knighthood, otherwise our ancestors would not have left the Stormwind Empire, or followed the sage of Abbots to found the Seven Towers Federation, or left the Ice Kingdom to live. ”

"Indeed." Duke replied faintly.

Godiva Tempest will meet directly at the Knight's Monastery instead of his Mage Tower on the lakeside.

Now Janis Ice Crown is leading the way to the meeting place in the Knight's Monastery.

"To be precise, the old rider is a group of arcane mages who have cultivated both the Spirit Sea and the Blood Sea, and they are maintained in the spirit of love for the way of knights." Janis said, looking at Duke again, "So, Lord Duke, you have a natural identity as a veteran. ”

"Haha, you're wrong, I'm not a dual cultivator of the Spirit Sea and Blood Sea, I'm a fellow practitioner of the Three Seas, I can be an old rider, or I can be a ...... Eh, is there any group similar to the old rider of the Spirit Plant? Duke asked with a smile.

"I haven't heard of this, but there is a spirit pet alliance, which was formed by the arcane mages who have contracted the elves, and regularly exchanges elven cultivation experiences."

"Oh yes, where can I join this alliance?" Duke was in the mood.

"Lord Duke, have you contracted an elf?" Janis asked curiously.

"Of course."

"You're really...... Great, the initiates of the three seas, the sea of blood and the sea of qi can have such achievements, which is really admirable. Janis complimented sincerely, and then said, "The headquarters of the Spirit Pet Alliance is located in Mangrove City, where there is a mangrove park, which is where the headquarters is located. ”

"Hmm." Duke nodded.

Then he turned to Mu Lali and said, "Xiao Lili, write down the address, look back at my itinerary, and find some free time to visit the Spirit Pet Alliance." ”

"Yes, sir."

Soon, the group came to a ruined fortress in the Knight's Monastery, and several old horsemen such as Godivan Storm Greatsword had already greeted him in front of the fortress.

"It's a long way off, Duke Sage." Godiva patted his chest and performed a knightly courtesy.

Duke returned a knightly courtesy.

Then he greeted several other old horsemen one by one, and then was welcomed into the ruined fortress, which was ruined on the outside but very luxurious on the inside.

"Lord Dunn is having a meeting of the stars, and the meeting seems to be discussing you, the Duke Sage, the new card-making sage title." Godiva explained, "Now that it has been confirmed that you have been canonized as the Card-Making Sage, the Meeting of the Stars should end soon, and Lord Dunn will be here in person. ”

Lord Dunn, the abbot of the Knights' Monastery, Dunn Dragoon.

The ancestor is the great nobleman of the Storm Empire who created the vindictive martial art "Imperial Dragoon Spear", which can be called the old horse of the old horse.

Today's "Imperial Dragoon Lance" can be said to be a must-have martial art for most knights.

Duke also practiced.

Although the knights have declined.

But the Dragoon Lance family is still proud of this vindictive martial art created by their ancestors, otherwise they would not have chosen Dragoon Lance as a noble surname.

As for Dean Dunn Dragoon, he is a member of the Council of Stars, the 7-Ring Morning Star Arcane Mentor, and the 3-Ring High-level Phantom Beast Knight.

"Will Lord Dunn come over too, I didn't expect to alarm his old man." Duke smiled, "Actually, I didn't have any big deals, the main thing was to ask about the promotion of the Douqi martial art of "Duke Flying Feather", and I haven't received the Douqi increase yet. ”

"How can it be so fast." Godivan laughed, "Not to mention ordinary knights and knights, even us old riders have just successfully cultivated." ”

"Yes, at present, the number of knights who have successfully cultivated in the Seven Towers Federation is afraid that there are no more than fifty." Another veteran also laughed.

Janis also said: "Lord Duke, the "Duke Flying Feather" you created is too difficult, I haven't practiced it for a long time. ”

"It's a little harder." Duke touched his chin.

The fighting martial art of "Gamat's Shield" is already the ceiling of many big knights, and "Duke Flying Feather" is several times more difficult than "Gamat's Shield", which shows that it is definitely not just a big knight, and it can be practiced by taking time.

Even Vivian, who Duke personally started and taught day and night, has not yet practiced "Duke Flying Feather".

After a change of words, Duke said again: "So I recently took advantage of a little time to improve the Duke Flying Feather and create a simplified version of the new Douqi martial art. ”

"What?" Godiva and the others were stunned.

Immediately, they all widened their eyes: "You improved the Duke Flying Feather and created a new Douqi martial art?" ”

"Yes, Duke Flying Feather was too difficult, mainly because when I created it, I wanted to take care of too many things, to fly fast, fly steadily, and have super high agility to ensure that I can also cope with combat when flying."

Duke pretended to sigh, and then said, "Considering that most knights may not be able to learn, I will delete some unnecessary content and change to flying as a help. The knight can not fly, as long as he jumps high enough, glides far enough, and sprints faster, he can still provide a lot of combat power. ”

"So, what kind of fighting martial arts have you improved?" Godiva couldn't wait.

"Duke's Leap, a new vindictive martial art, can also be seen as a reduced version of Duke's Flying Feather, and the overall difficulty is similar to that of Gammat Shield." Duke stretched out his hand behind him, and the assistant immediately brought a book.

Duke put the book on the table and pushed it to Godias: "Vice President Godivan, you can take a look, the promotion will trouble the knight's monastery." ”

"Good, good!"

Godiva was already absent-minded, and gathered around the table with a few old riders, flipping through the book "Duke's Leap" brought by Duke.

Compared to the complexity of "Duke Flying Feather", "Duke's Leap" is indeed much simpler.

At least everyone here is not a 3-ring high-level phantom beast knight, but also a 2-ring phantom beast knight, even if Yanise Ice Crown is a 2-ring phantom beast knight.

So it looks effortless.

Even on the spot, he was silently running the fighting spirit, trying to run the fighting path of "Duke Leap", trying to see if each place could be fully operational.

I waited for half an hour.

Godiva and other veteran riders unanimously confirmed that this "Duke Leap" is another martial art that is enough to rewrite the knight's combat effectiveness.

"Duke Sage, don't worry, I will order someone to register this Fighting Qi Martial Technique now and hand it over to the Knight Hermitage for promotion." Godiva clapped his chest loudly, "You, just wait patiently and be promoted to the first 4-ringed dragon knight in history!" ”

"I lend you good words."

"There is no need to borrow any auspicious words from me, for the Spirit loves you more than all the praise of the world." Godiva said with emotion.

Suddenly, something came to mind: "Go and see if Lord Dunn has come back, the meeting has been over for so long, and it is time to come back." Seeing this "Duke Leap", Lord Dunn is afraid that he will not eat, drink or sleep, and he must learn it immediately. ”

Someone went.

Soon he came back and reported: "There is news from the Union Tower, the meeting of the stars is not over yet. ”

"Isn't it over yet, and you're stumped by some new issue?" Godiva muttered casually.

The staff gave the answer: "It's still discussing Lord Duke, but it's not clear what exactly is being discussed." ”

"Still talking about me?" Duke wondered.

The title of card-making sage has been discussed and approved, whether it is necessary to discuss whether to be knighted, according to the system of the Seven Towers Federation, the knighthood needs to be applied for.

Only then can he establish meritorious service and be knighted by means of pioneering wars.

If you don't apply for a knighthood, no matter how much you accumulate military exploits, the United Tower will not be knighted, after all, the gradual abolition of the aristocracy system is the established general direction.

It's just that the special federation system of the Seven Towers Federation restricts the speed of the abolition of the aristocracy - after all, the abolition of the aristocracy, a medium-sized spiritual spring like a market town, still needs to be managed by the Arc Master, and the power will still be concentrated in the hands of the Arc Master family.

It's the same as not being abolished, it's better to give a knighthood and let the mages enjoy it.

Seeing Duke's doubts, Godiva laughed and said, "You have stirred up the situation in the Archam Holy City several times, and now even the stars are working overtime for you...... Now the Seven Towers Federation, no one knows the king. ”

Ask for tickets~
