Chapter 253: Moonlight Cage
Among the books in the library of the Tower of Stars are many of the notes recorded by the ancestors of the arcane mages who have opened the will of the stars.
Especially in the more than twenty openings in the past two thousand years, each arcane mage has basically left a note of information.
Duke began to read chronologically, from far to near, but as he read it, he found that the reference value of these notes was not as great as he imagined.
"The will of the stars is the spiritual throbbing under the starry sky, if human wisdom is instantaneous, then the will of the stars is to operate in a hundred years. A year is born, a year is extinguished, is a flick of a finger, a hundred years have passed. ”
In the earliest information notes, the Armager described the Will of the Stars as such.
However, in more information notes, it is impossible to record what kind of interaction took place between the Will of the Stars and the Initiator: "Everything that happened in the mind of the Will of the Stars, I can't capture, only a little bit of the inscription trace has been preserved. ”
"I forgot what I had said and heard with the will of the stars, I just remembered that I was one with Him, across time, through the past and the future...... In the end, when I only brought the 3rd Ring to the 4th Ring Advancement, I needed to clear the fog of the Spiritual Arcane. ”
"It's like a dream, with a clear feeling, but I can't remember distant memories, only vague two or three fragments remain."
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint everyone, my brain is buzzing, it seems like I've been stuffed with a lot of things, but I can't say a single one."
"The will of the stars is intimidating, it really ......"
"We are on the wrong path now, the taboo of the soul must be observed, stop the experiment, stop the experiment, once this taboo is broken, I am afraid that the future of the spiritual arcane law will be broken!"
"It was as if I was trapped in a wall, unable to find a way out, spinning around like a fly without a head. I'm sorry everyone, but I've disappointed you this time, and I have no idea what I've learned. The will of the stars is not as good as the spirit to love me. ”
"During the dialogue of the will of the stars, my memory was vague, but in the following decades, I was promoted from the 4-ring earth arcane mage to the first 7-ring morning star arcane master of the Seven Towers Federation as if I was like a divine help, and now I have recorded my cultivation experience."
"It's a rainbow passage, and I remember very well that I saw the birth and death of the whole world in the rainbow passage...... Don't ask me for details, I can't remember, but I just know that the spiritual arcane has a long road ahead and a calamity awaits. ”
“……”
Soon, Duke read all the notes and recorded them in Xiaoyi's database.
Looking at the sky outside, the sun was already setting, he sat at the table, frowning and contemplating: "Xiaoyi, can you analyze the specific situation of the will of the stars?" ”
"I'm sorry master, each of the openers of the will of the stars has different memories left behind, and it is impossible to summarize the rules in it. More like an arcane mage who opened the will of the stars, he experienced a dream from a future prophecy and distilled some kind of revelation. ”
There are many kinds of revelations.
There is the know-how of the 3-ring-arc mage to the 4-ring-arcane mage, the proverb that the soul test must be stopped, the warning of the danger in the scars of the earth, the prophecy of the next stage of the development of the spiritual arcane, and even the recipe for a certain potion may become part of the revelation.
Of course.
The most is the revelation of the future development of the spiritual arcane, including the cultivation of each link of the arcane master, and the development direction of the major fields.
"In short, I feel that the Will of the Stars is like an ancestor who has climbed the peak of spiritual arcane, and through this way of transcending time, he has passed on his knowledge to this group of immature spiritual arcane explorers in the reckless world."
Duke shook his head.
Through these data notes, he at least understood a little, and opening the will of the stars was like a dream, and there was not much danger.
At least from the available records, none of the arcane mages who have sunk because of the will of the stars have benefited a lot. Some arcane mages have broken the shackles of cultivation, some arcane mages have gained valuable inheritances, and some arcane mages have improved their talents.
All in all.
There are many benefits to opening the will of the stars, just like being empowered by a master in martial arts, and getting decades of skill or martial arts achievements.
"Just."
Duke was also puzzled: "According to the records of the arcane masters, the will of the stars is also a part of spirituality, and it was accidentally opened by the ancient astrologers who relied on the laws of catching the stars. The current Star Tower has directly mastered the method of opening. ”
So.
He looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and said that he could not understand: "The physical astronomical knowledge on the earth tells me that every star, except for a few planets in the solar system, is almost all stars...... Some stars are countless light-years away. ”
He looked down at the information notes in his hand again: "So how do these stars intersect spiritually with the barren world, or this barren planet?" Even these stars still contain such a rich and colorful knowledge inheritance? ”
Duke always felt that the reckless planet should not be able to fight with the stars in the sky.
Not to mention the will of the stars.
"The stars have a will for wool, and if they do, doesn't it mean that the sun has a will?" Duke glanced at the sun above the blue sky and white clouds again, "If the sun really has a will, wouldn't this will be closer and clearer than the stars?" ”
But I haven't heard of a single arcane mage who has observed the will of the sun, or the will of the moon.
"I can't figure it out, Xiaoyi."
"Master, Xiaoyi can't figure it out."
"Forget it." Duke got up and left the data room, "If you can't figure it out, put it on hold for the time being, and wait for ten days and a half months before I can turn on the will of the stars...... When the time comes, Xiaoyi, you have to record all the communication information between me and the will of the stars, don't miss anything. ”
"Good master, Xiaoyi will do her best to record the information."
The ancestors of the previous arcane mages did not have a golden finger, so they could only rely on dreaming to have an incomprehensible exchange with the will of the stars.
But Duke has Xiaoyi's helper.
Even if he forgets the process in the communication, as long as this communication can be perceived through the five senses and the spiritual sea, Xiaoyi can record all the information.
When the time comes, you can play it back slowly, and you will know what kind of existence the will of the stars is.
"So, the Stars Council chose me to activate the Will of the Stars, and this decision was made quite right." Duke silently gave a thumbs up to the arcane teachers.
Greeting Chief Muse, Duke left the Tower of Stars.
The proportion of the Orian Mage in the Arcane Holy City accounts for almost one-tenth, and the remaining nine-tenths are the vassals and servants of the Arcane Mage, and everything revolves around the Armage.
He took his big knight and little assistant to a prestigious snack street.
It is said that it is a snack street, but there is no fireworks, the store decoration is more gorgeous than the shopping mall in Shenjiao City, and the boss and waiters are polite.
The sanitation on the street is even more spotless, and the cleaners who sweep the street are all spiritual apprentices, holding special spirit cards as cleaning tools, collecting all the dust and debris, and then sending them to a cleaning car, which comes and goes quickly.
I'm afraid that there will be a little bit of dirty, which will affect the mood of the old masters.
Duke didn't like it, but he didn't have to be out of place, after all...... He is also one of the Archmasters.
"Sir, how is this shop?" Mulali pointed to a shop with a sign called "Whale Yaki".
"Then go and try it."
Walking to the door, the self-owned service staff respectfully opened the door and bowed to say hello: "Lord Duke Sage, welcome." ”
"You know me?" Duke asked, as he entered.
"Your picture is often shown on the big screen of the Offa Tower, and I don't think there is anyone in the entire Offa Holy City who doesn't know you." The waiter smiled just right, neither flattering nor perfunctory, "I personally like your "Romeo and Juliet" the most, it's so touching!" ”
"Okay." Duke smiled slightly, feeling that he had become a top-notch arcane mage.
At least in the past few years, in terms of traffic, I am afraid that there is no arcane mage who can match him.
He sat down and said, "Correct, I'm just a screenwriter, not a director. ”
"Yes, Lord Duke." The waiter replied with a smile.
After ordering the store's signature whale grill, Duke waited leisurely for the food to be served, and several tables around him were occupied by entourage to ensure his safety.
Of course.
Ordering food or something, it is all paid by the little assistant Mu Lali - the money bag that goes out is in the hands of Mu Lali.
The 2-ringed Phantom Beast Knight, Herdos, sat behind Duke, his eyes were firmly fixed on every diner in the store, anyone who wanted to approach, even a waiter, needed to be searched by him to make sure there was no threat.
The boss trotted over and was searched by Herdos before he was let go and came to Duke's table.
With a bright smile, he complimented: "Lord Duke Sage, you are here in the Humble House, it really makes the Humble House shine, you are here for the first time, this time your order is for me to treat, and please Lord Duke Sage can fulfill my wish." ”
Duke had the heart to refuse.
His royalties have been collected in a steady stream, and money is a bunch of numbers to him, and there is no need to take advantage of it.
But the boss was sincere, so he accepted it calmly: "Okay, the boss of my table invites me, and my entourage pays as usual." ”
"Hey, good!" The owner was delighted.
Continuing to compliment, he said, "The new technology of spiritual arcane law invented by you has brought great changes to the world, and you are the spiritual guide to the Seven Towers Federation. As an ordinary person in the Seven Towers Federation, I wish you, Lord Duke Sage, to continue to guide the Seven Towers Federation and never stop! ”
"I accept your blessings." Duke smiled.
The boss bowed down and said, "Then please wait a moment, our kitchen is cooking food carefully for you and your entourage." ”
Wait for the boss to retire.
Mu Lali put her hands on her cheeks, and her eyes were full of little stars: "Sir, you are already world-famous, and everyone is grateful for the great technology you have brought!" ”
Mu Lashan also put her hands on her cheeks, and praised in the same tone as Mu Lali: "Yes, when I first met you, sir, I never imagined that even in the Holy City of Alpha, you are a household name!" ”
"It's wonderful, isn't it, Xiao Shanshan." Mulali asked proudly.
Mu Lashan nodded: "Yes, it's really wonderful!" ”
Vivian, who was on the side, was much calmer: "This is just the beginning of the adult, I think soon, the adult's mage tower will be erected in the Alpha Holy City." ”
"Haha!" Duke laughed.
The three closest women spoke more and more nicely, so he couldn't help but say: "If you can talk, talk a little more and pass the boring waiting time for dinner." ”
Soon the whale grill was served.
The taste is really good, Duke asked, the raw materials of this whale roast are not from the 7-ringed spirit beast in the Whale Song Mirror Lake-Mirror Lake Song Whale, let alone the 9-ringed Wulong-Mirror Lake Whale Dragon, but a 3-ringed spirit animal called the small-tailed dolphin.
"Pack me one." Duke said again.
He planned to bring it back to Mentor Penrose to taste, and this time he brought Penrose over, fearing that he would have to delay it for a while.
Eat and drink to your heart's content, and return to the Crystal Palace of Sersas.
Serthas seemed to know that Duke had something to ask, so he had the pantry prepared in advance, and then waited for Duke to arrive while making tea himself and performing the tea ceremony of the Seven Towers Federation.
"Chief."
"Sit down."
Serthas had already brewed the tea, and without any psionic assistance, he only relied on his own hands to balance the relationship between tea and water.
"Try the tea I brewed, the tea leaves of the 3-ring tree king - jasper tea tree, there is only a little bit every year, and there is less than a cup of brewing."
"Thank you, sir." Duke took the tea and took a sip.
The lips and teeth are fragrant, and the aftertaste is sweet and bitter.
Compared with ordinary tea water, the taste is not special, but it makes people seem to taste a little different taste from the light.
It tastes very good, but it is impossible to talk about it carefully.
Serthas asked, "How?" ”
Duke replied truthfully: "I didn't taste anything." ”
"Haha." Selthath stroked his snow-white beard and laughed, "You're honest, unlike some people who can't taste it, and you have to shake your head and say a lot of modifiers, as if this can match your identity." ”
"Different people have different moods, even if they drink the same cup of tea, they may taste different tastes because of their mood."
"Oh." Serthas glanced up at Duke, "There's some truth to what you're saying. ”
He pushed the tea tray in front of him to the side, and said freely: "That's it, it's just that after more than 200 years of tea ceremony, it's not as good as you as a kid to see through." ”
Duke smiled silently.
Waiting for the servants to come and clean up the table, Serthas said, "Do you have any doubts about opening the will of the stars?" ”
"Yes."
"Actually, it's nothing, I brought it up at the meeting of the stars." Serthas finished the tea in his cup and took two sips, "The previous default practice was to choose the youngest one from among the arcane masters, but this time the candidate is Miguil. ”
"Miguil?" Duke knew about this man, "The Gravel Realm Warden?" ”
"Yes, this is the person, I don't want this person to be the opener, so I proposed a new candidate, and you are more suitable than him."
Duke frowned.
Sel'shas saw his fears, and said, "Indeed, by electing you, you must have indirectly offended Miguil. But you don't have to worry about anything, he doesn't dare to go out of the gravel realm in person, you just don't go to the gravel realm. ”
"Why is that?"
"I'm afraid Miguil might fall."
"Fallen?" Duke was shocked, "Will the Morning Star Arcane Mentor also fall?" ”
Serthas snorted coldly, "What about the Morning Star, once the Twisted Ring is lost, it will be the Dawn Arcane Master, and it will also degenerate into a Sinking Demon. ”
Then he sighed and said, "Now the stars are in an eventful season...... Since you are a double sage title, and you will be added as the chief sage of the Ofa Tower next year, you have great hopes, and it doesn't hurt to tell you these things. Of today's stars, there are two who are most likely to fall. ”
"I want to hear about it!" Duke said solemnly.
With the system of the Seven-Tower Federation, as long as Duke does not violate the taboo, he can basically guarantee safety.
The only thing that needs to be taboo is the Sinking Demon, and the Sinking Demon will not abide by the laws and regulations.
In case he was targeted by the Sinking Demon, with just a Sand Eagle pistol, Duke really didn't dare to guarantee his safety, and he was really killed by the Sinking Demon, and he died in vain.
One of the important reasons why he is reluctant to stay in the Orcane City for a long time is that there may be a Demon of Doom hidden in the City of Arcana - the Demon of Doom is not a walking corpse, but a monster that retains the intelligence of human beings, and is very good at hiding and hiding.
Some weak Sinking Demons can even cultivate and advance like the Arcane Mage.
And the location of the Arcane Holy City, the spiritual river of Whale Song Mirror Lake, is the best nourishment for the Sinking Demon, and it is possible to inhabit the bottom of the lake or hide in the belly of a fish.
"The first star who could fall is the Speaker, Lord Andrea Evening Primrose." When Serthas said this, his body couldn't help but sit upright, and his tone became awe-inspiring, "Fifty years ago, Lord Adlie failed to attack the 9th ring, and he fell into the problem of sometimes being sober and sometimes making mistakes. ”
"Shhh
Duke gasped: "Speaker......"
He was really surprised that the Speaker of the Upper Chamber, whose full name was the Speaker of the United Tower Standing Council, was the head of the entire Seven Towers Federation.
As the most powerful country of mankind, the Speaker of the Seven Towers Federation is undoubtedly the pinnacle of mankind.
And now, Speaker Andrei Evening Primrose, who stands at the top of humanity, has become the suspect most likely to fall.
Glancing at Duke, Serthas said lightly: "You don't have to be overly surprised, Lord Andrei's every move is monitored by someone at all times, and this is also Lord Andre's own arrangement, even if he falls, he will be the first to find out." ”
"Lord Andre, have you made the arrangements?" Duke nodded in understanding.
After all, Andre Evening Primrose failed to impact the 9th ring, and I am afraid that the aftermath was arranged early in the morning, and any consequences were expected.
Even if you fall, you will be set on fire as soon as possible.
"The second star who may fall is Miguil, who almost fell when he rose in his early years, but fortunately he was pulled by his father-in-law, the former Gravel Realm Guardian, to awaken his true spirit, so as to avoid the danger of sinking."
After listening to what Serthas said, Duke suddenly understood: "So, do you think that since he can fall once, it is possible for him to fall a second time?" ”
"Yes, although this probability is not high, it is a layer of risk after all, so I don't want him to open the will of the stars." Serthath said coldly, "If the will of the stars is stolen by a sinking demon, wouldn't it be a big joke!" ”
There was a pause.
Sershas continued, "Anyway, if Miguil hides in the gravel field, I can't interfere. But as long as he dares to step out of the gravel realm himself, I will kill him, and as soon as I find evidence of his fall, I will immediately kill him! ”
As the Mentor of the 8-Ringed Radiant Moon Arcana, Serthas is confident enough to slay a 7-Ringed Morning Star-level Sinking Demon.
Duke thought for a moment and asked, "My lord, if I return to Cuihai City, Miguiel won't chase him over, right, after all, I robbed him of his chance?" ”
"Are you all decorations, the Seven Towers Federation's Sinking Demon Crisis has not been experienced a hundred times, but has also experienced fifty times, and the Stars Council has long been eyeing every arcane mage who may be sinking, once exposed, it can be killed in an instant."
That being said.
Duke still had a hint of urgency in his heart.
At this time, Serthas suddenly threw over a thing: "You take this with you, this is the moonlight cage I made, you can understand it as an 8-ring level arcane card, once activated, it can form a moonlight cage realm, protect your safety, and support until our clone comes." ”
"Moonlight cage?" Duke took the item and found that it was a jade round mirror, "My lord, does this have anything to do with the Star Cage?" ”
Duke had seen Loren Sankagome cast the Star Cage, and the starlight sprinkled over an area that even the 9-ringed wurms could not escape.
Sersas explained, "It's all the application of the realm, the Moonlight Cage realm is stronger, and it will take three or five hours for the 7-Ring Morning Star Arcane Master to break it. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Such a good thing, Duke smiled happily.
The sense of crisis and urgency in my heart has eased slightly, and I am no longer so sensitive to the threat of the sinking demon on my back.
Putting away the moonlight cage closely, Duke said with a smile, "I know that adults will not put me in danger." ”
"Haha, you kid!" Serthas stroked his beard and smiled, "The spiritual richness in your body is rare in the world, and we can't protect you yet, so how can we put you in danger...... As long as you young people grow up smoothly, the spiritual arcane of the Seven Towers Federation will endure. ”
After saying that, Serthas waved his hand and said, "Okay, if your mind settles down, go back and rest." If you feel bored in the Crystal Palace, go to a ball, and the noble ladies in the Aofa Holy City and the surrounding eighteen cities are all looking forward to getting to know you. ”
"Then I'll quit first." Duke got up and left.
Naturally, he wasn't interested in a ball or something, but he was interested in the collection of books in the Crystal Palace, as well as some rare arcane wonder buildings.
Other than that.
He had already asked clearly, there was a 3-ringed tree king in the Crystal Palace, which was the source of the tea leaves that he drank before-the jasper tea tree.
The mage towers of the arcane masters, if they are not planted with a 3-ringed tree king, will look very shabby.
And there are also enough spiritual particles here to maintain the growth of the 3-ring tree king.
"Lord Duke, this is the 3-ring tree king-jasper tea tree, which was dug up from the mountains by our master one hundred and eighty years ago and has been planted here." A butler from the Crystal Palace took Duke to the area where the jasper tea trees were planted.
Because the Crystal Palace was built at the bottom of the lake.
Therefore, in order to meet the demand for sunlight for jasper tea trees, the planting area uses arcane constant a small sun to radiate sunlight and irradiate jasper tea trees at all times.
It also simulates sunrise and sunset, which is close to the natural environment in all directions.
"I'm going to rest here for a while, Mr. Butler, please take care of yourself." Duke said.
The butler immediately bowed and retired: "Then I will leave here first, if Lord Duke has any orders, please command the servants outside the door, or let them call me over and serve you personally." ”
Wait for the butler to leave.
Duke slapped his stomach: "Chicken, get up and work, fit!" ”
"Ahh Yawning, the sleeping chick, dizzily bites Duke's fingers, and then merges with Duke into elven form.
The next moment, breath resonance is established.
Duke had already felt the breathing rhythm of the 3-ring tree king, the jasper tea tree, and after a while, he was in a trance and was brought into the memories of time by the natural power of the jasper tea tree.
It sprouts from a single seed and grows into a giant tea bush.
Then, one day, memories rippled, and in the blurred image, a powerful arcane mage cramped and skinned a spirit beast that occupied the king's land, followed by a group of vague humans, digging up the tea bushes by the roots.
In a flash.
The memories of time are in this square inch of the planting area, and people come to clean and prune every day until today.
"Whew."
Duke let out a cloudy breath: "The powerful arcane mage who can't see clearly should be Lord Sel'sas." ”
Jasper Tea Tree didn't say anything, but had already told him everything.
And gave a gift, that is, in the sea of qi, behind the mysterious vine, the 10,000-year-old pine tower, and the green banyan forest, a small tea tree grew.
The spiritual seed of the jasper tea tree.
"Hmm!" Duke sat down cross-legged, and in the sea of spirits, new mysteries had also formed visions, and from each vision, patches of tea grew out.
"Refreshment Jasper Tea Tree."
"The fourth mystery, yes, always keeping my mind clear, is still very useful to me, especially when doing research, I need to refresh myself the most!" Duke caught the vague information from the tea vision and was satisfied with it.
