Chapter 254: The Path to Phantom Beast Promotion
Duke, who has chickens, basically every tree king will leave gifts and mysteries.
Theoretically, Duke could keep looking for the Tree King and get an infinite number of gifts and mysteries, but there was no need to actively seek them.
If you have the opportunity to come across it, you will understand it.
"Mentor Penrose, we have to stay here for ten more days and a half." When Duke returned to his room, he saw Penrose, who was reading a newspaper.
Penrose nodded, and shook the "Seven Towers Daily" in his hand: "I heard that you were chosen as the opener of the will of the stars, and the newspaper has already explained what it means. In the past, it was opened by the arcane teacher, and in the past thousand years, you are the first to open the 2-ring arcane master. β
"It's both a trust and a responsibility." Duke sighed with emotion, "Since you have chosen me, then I will strive to feel more of the enlightenment brought by the will of the stars, and do my best for the Seven Towers Federation." β
"I didn't expect that." Penrose suddenly sighed.
"What didn't you expect?"
"You've already earned two sage titles, and with such a dazzling achievement, there aren't many in the entire Seven Towers Federation. Even the chief sages of the Offata, many of them have outstanding attainments in only one field, and it is difficult to achieve major breakthroughs across fields. β
The Chief Sage of Offata, not an academic title.
Academic titles, like noble titles, belong to the official canonization of honors, and there are only two ranks: the title of scholar and the title of sage.
The Chief Sage of the Tower of Offa belongs to a position, and only the Sage who has outstanding contributions and senior resume in a certain field, is recognized by the Alpha Mage group, and has the ability to lead the entire Federation of the Seven Towers and make more breakthroughs in this field can be elected as the Chief Sage of the Tower of Offah.
The job of the Chief Sage of the Tower of Offah is to stand on the top of the spiritual arcane and lead the entire realm in the established direction.
You don't need to do your own academics, but you have to grasp the future of academics.
Therefore, the chief sage of Offata is also called the "prophet" by the public.
There are currently twenty-seven prophets who preside over the academic development of various fields in the Seven Towers Federation.
For example, Chairman Selsath was a prophet of erudition; MaderΓ³n Rhodiola was also a prophet of erudition. However, Serthas was mainly responsible for the study of new techniques in naturalism; Ma Delong is mainly responsible for the study of naturalism to sink into society.
In Duke's opinion.
Scholars are upward and sage; The sage is upward, a prophet; The prophet is then the sage, that is, the selection of the Valhalla.
Now that he has attained the first two achievements, he is working towards the attainment of prophetic achievement.
Therefore, to Penrose's emotion, he only responded flatly: "Spiritually loves me, and I can only repay it with a mere academic achievement." β
"yes." Penrose nodded in agreement.
But there is some inexplicable feeling in his heart, this kind of high-sounding words used to be his lines as a mentor.
Now from Duke's mouth, it is natural to say, after all, the identities of the tutor and the student have been reversed, and in front of Duke, the double sage, he, the card-making scholar, is the student. So listening to Duke's teachings has become his daily routine.
If you want to talk about jealousy, there is real it, but there is no resentment.
After all, every achievement of Duke is an unattainable peak for him, and card-making scholars are already the limit of his life.
But the higher-level card-making sage is likely to be just the starting point for Duke.
"Mentor Penrose, rest early." After chatting for a few words, Duke was a little excited.
Today's Penrose is no longer a casual chatter, he always feels that Penrose puts his posture too low, and he is quite restrained when he speaks, except for bragging, he can't get a good chat experience.
Therefore, he said: "I haven't finished the evening class yet, so I'll go back first, you can visit the Aofa Holy City first in the next few days, and I won't accompany you." β
"You're busy, you don't have to worry about me." Penrose stood up to see him off.
In the following days, Duke was busy, going to the Offa Tower to find information, to the Polymath Tower to participate in the academic salon, and to the Star Tower to check the progress of the stars.
Or head to the Knights' Retreat in Pegasus and hear how veteran riders promote Duke Leap.
Compared with the extremely difficult "Duke Flying Feather", "Duke Leap" has been easily mastered by veteran riders in a short period of time.
"Lord Duke, look at how I'm cultivating." Janis Ice Crown, from time to time, comes to Duke to show her beautiful figure.
She is twenty-six years old this year, unmarried, and as a Master of the 1st Ring Arc, her youth has been suspended for more than ten years, so she doesn't have to worry about aging.
"Very good, your talent is good, and you have mastered the main points of this Douqi martial art." Duke said indifferently.
"I'm far behind your talent, my lord." Janis threw a wink at Duke, and three red marks on her face perfectly showed her wild side, "You are a knight genius who can create fighting martial arts at will, and I can only catch up with you by practicing hard." β
Looking at the three red marks on Yanis's beautiful face, Duke smiled indifferently: "I'm just a 1-ring knight, and you're already a 2-ring phantom beast knight, speaking of which, you're much stronger than me, aren't you." β
"That's different, my 'red line' is a phantom beast that my family has cultivated for me since I was a child, Lord Duke, you just lack a little time." Janis reached out and touched the red mark on her face, then brushed her hair behind her ear.
These three red marks are the marks left by her after merging with the phantom beast.
As she spoke, Janis had already dissolved the phantom beast merger, and the three red marks on her face quickly faded. The red light flashed on his shoulder, and a small bird, which was only the size of a palm, and his body was red, condensed and chirped softly.
Red Flame Shrike, 2-ringed phantom beast.
Evolved from the 1-ring spirit beast Akabane Shrike, it is a support type of phantom beast, which can increase the sharpness of the knight's fighting spirit after being combined, and condense a bunch of fluffy fighting qi into a line of condensed fighting energy, thereby increasing attack power.
"Well, then, I'm in a hurry to see Dean Dunn." Duke prepares to end the conversation with Janiss.
Janis walked over with a smile: "I'll accompany you, by the way, lead the way for you, by the way, don't you plan to visit Pegasus Island City these days, I can be your tour guide." β
"I've been around Pegasus City before, and I don't have any plans to hang out recently, so I have to go to Mangrove City to visit the Spirit Pet Alliance next."
"I know where the Spirit Pet Alliance is, I'll lead the way for you." Janis suggested again.
Duke asked, "Aren't you busy?" β
"It's easy, there's nothing going on in the Knight Monastery, after all, the age of knights is a thing of the past. Moreover, the mercenary center undertakes a lot of general affairs, and the knight monastery is more like a specialized vindictive martial arts research institution, which is very leisurely. β
Speaking of which, the monks of the Three Seas are all under the jurisdiction of the Faling Pagoda.
However, the arcane mages of the Fa Ling Pagoda felt that the Spirit Sea Knight and the Qi Sea Spirit Cultivation Envoy were not worthy of entering and exiting the same tower as the Spirit Sea Ao Mage.
Therefore, the related business of making money is retained, and the rest of the tedious chores are divided.
Most of the knights' business was assigned to the knights' monasteries and local knights' monasteries, and even the knights' registrations were divided.
The same.
The veterans of the Knight Monastery also felt that there were too many chores and too much annoyance, so they split off the mercenary-related business and established a mercenary center.
Of course.
There are many more knights than the Ormage, and it is true that there is a need for a professional body, and most of the knights are registered mercenaries, and they also need to be taken care of by a professional body.
Seeing that Janis was so persistent, for the sake of the other party's beauty, Duke nodded: "It's okay, then I'll trouble you." β
Behind.
The little assistants, Mu Lali and Mu Lashan, glanced at each other.
Then they each flattened their mouths, quite disdainful of the kraft candy that Yanis couldn't get rid of, and at the same time secretly vigilant.
It was clear that Janis had brought them a sense of crisis.
As for Vivien, her expression has not changed in any way, she has always been strict in her duty, has a clear understanding of her identity, and does not quarrel or quarrel.
Holding the small pocket, he quietly followed behind Duke.
After walking a few steps, he entered Dean Dunn's office.
Although the knight's monastery does not have towering towers, only dilapidated small fortresses, the interior decoration is no worse than the mage tower, it is just a dean's office, but it seems to have come to the interior of a large villa, and there is even a martial arts training ground.
"Duke Sage, welcome, welcome." Dunn Dragoon did not wear an arcane robe, but a set of vindictive training uniforms.
As the 7-Ringed Morning Star Arcane Mentor, he is at least one or two hundred years old.
But except for the gray hair and beard, the appearance and figure are no different from those of young people, and there are strong muscles.
"Dean Dunn, I didn't bother you."
"I'm a quiet and scattered person, except for studying the fighting spirit, I just go to the United Tower for a meeting every day, and I have nothing else to do." Dean Dunn said quite self-deprecatingly, as a member of the old horseman, he did not have much academic achievements.
Therefore, with the other arcane mages, they can't go all the way.
After all, every time the arcane masters talked about spiritual arcane, he felt as uncomfortable as sitting on wax, and simply hid here to cultivate his fighting spirit.
"I came this time, in addition to consulting about the promotion of "Duke Flying Feather" and "Duke Leap", mainly to ask for advice on how to help contract spirit beasts evolve into phantom beasts." Duke beckoned to Vivien behind him.
Vivien immediately handed over the pocket in her arms.
"This is my contractual partner, Xiaodou, who has entered the maturity period and is about to break through from 1 ring to 2 rings." Duke touched Little Pocket's head.
The small pocket, which is usually noisy, is taken in the star aura's aura of the arcane master at this moment, and it is quiet as if he is asleep, and he does not dare to move.
Under the hair on Xiao Dou's forehead, the red knight's contract mark, outside a complete ring, there is another new ring that is vaguely about to be completed, and the two rings are nested with each other, and if you don't look closely, it seems to have become one.
"If Xiaodou is promoted to a 2-ring long-haired meerkat, I'm afraid there will be no possibility of evolving into a phantom beast." Duke said.
Dean Dunn glanced at Xiao Dou, then reached out and touched the knight contract mark on Xiao Dou's head.
Then he said: "The best way is to change the spirit beast contract." β
Xiao Dou seemed to understand, and immediately turned his head, looking at Duke pitifully.
"Uh......" Duke smiled awkwardly, "I still want to help Xiaodou evolve into a phantom beast, after all, it is a knight companion that I have cultivated since I was a child. β
"In that case, my advice is to drink blood." Dean Dunn gave a new suggestion, "Go and buy wurm blood, preferably a wurm similar to the long-haired meerkat, well, let me think about it, the knight's monastery has a lot of wurm blood." β
Dean Dunn thought for a few seconds, then gave a hint: "The wurm blood of the tailless civet dragon and the bloody weasel dragon should be suitable, and you can buy it for this long-haired meerkat." Of course, the most suitable should be the wurm blood of the erect mongoose, but unfortunately the knight's monastery has never collected it. β
"yes, okay, I'm going to buy the wurm blood of the tailless tanukigo and the bloody weasel dragon, oh yes, Dean Dunn, how much wurm blood do I need to buy?"
"There is no fixed number, but one part of the blood of the dragon can refine a bottle of phantom dragon potion, and you can find a pharmacist to refine three phantom dragon potion, which should be enough. Drinking too much of the phantom dragon medicine is not beneficial, three parts is the limit, and whether it succeeds or not depends on the qualifications of the meerkat itself. β
At the end, Dean Dunn added, "The edge of killing and death is also a good way for spirit beasts to promote phantom beasts, so after you give the long-haired meerkat to drink the phantom dragon potion, remember to take it to the forest to hunt and let it break through in battle." β
"Good! Thank you Dean Dunn for your advice. β
"It's nothing, just ask Janis and she'll tell you that." Dean Dunn disagreed.
Then he pulled Duke and talked about "Duke Flying Feather" and "Duke Leap".
He was full of praise for these two Douqi martial arts, and spoke highly of them: "Duke Flying Feather is like a tiger with wings for knight elites, such as a 2-ring Phantom Beast Knight and a 3-ring high-level Phantom Beast Knight. β
He also said: "As for "Duke's Leap", even if the difficulty is downgraded a lot, there will still be many 0-ring knights who can't learn, but as long as the 1-ring knight works hard and his brain is not stupid, he should be able to cultivate successfully, and after success, his strength will also leap. β
"I hope so." Duke smiled, "Then the specific promotion work will be up to the adults of the Knight's Hermitage." β
"These two fighting martial arts have greatly boosted the morale of our old horsemen, don't worry, the Knight Hermitage will do its best to promote it." Dean Dunn said, patting Duke on the shoulder, "I'm looking forward to the day you ride the dragon." β
However, after a change of words, he added: "But I still suggest that you replace this long-haired meerkat, from it, you can't see the wildness that the spirit beast should have." β
Other words.
The pocket may have been discarded.
"It's okay, I'll bang it." Duke smiled, he never thought of changing Xiaodou, after all, the way of knighthood could not improve his strength.
Even if you ride a dragon, you are only a 4-ring dragon knight, and you may not be able to beat the 4-ring earth mage.
And Duke's future is the 9th Ring Day Arcane Mentor.
"Whatever you want." Dean Dunn didn't persuade again, "When you reap the increase in Dou Qi, maybe you don't need to use phantom beasts to break through the shackles of the knight's level...... All in all, the future of knighthood is up to you, do your best, Duke. β
"I will."
Bidding farewell to Dean Dunn, Duke immediately asked Janis to lead the way to the warehouse of the Knight's Hermitage and purchased six copies of Wurm's blood.
Three points of bloody weasel dragon blood, ready to be used by Xiaodou; Three points of the tailless raccoon's blood are used for Vivien's Mimi.
Mimi is currently a 1-ring spirit beast-Black Spotted Serval, and she is about to be promoted to 2 rings, and there is no sign of evolving into a phantom beast for the time being.
After buying the blood of the wurm, he immediately took the shuttle to find the apothecary to refine the phantom dragon potion.
On the way, Duke said to Herdos, who was the captain of the guard knights: "It's a pity that the 2-ringed phantom beast has evolved from a 3-ringed high-level phantom beast, and there is no external force to learn from, otherwise I will definitely help you improve the knight level." β
Herdos was previously the Patrol Knight Captain of the Sukhtara Mage Tower, the 2-Ring Phantom Beast Knight.
Now he has become Duke's full-time guard knight, responsible for protecting his daily travel, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Herdos can be promoted to Phantom Beast Knight, and he is already satisfied, whether he can be promoted to a high-level Phantom Beast Knight, just let it be." β
Yanis, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, heard the words and said: "The 1-ring spirit beast advances to the 2-ring phantom beast, depending on the spirit beast qualification; The advancement of a 2-ring phantom beast to a 3-ring high-level phantom beast mainly depends on the talent of the contract knight. If you are Lord Duke, as long as Xiaodou evolves into a phantom beast, you will naturally be promoted to a high-level phantom beast. β
"Is that so?"
"That's it, Lord Dunn and Lord Godiva are all naturally promoted to the 3rd Ring High-level Phantom Beast Knight, and there is no additional borrowing."
"Hmm!" Duke nodded in satisfaction.
In this way, as long as he helps Xiaodou evolve into a phantom beast, it means that he will be promoted to a 3-ring phantom beast knight sooner or later.
If the next vindictive spirit increases strongly, riding a dragon is really not a luxury.
However, Herdos was a little disappointed, he didn't think that his talent could be compared with the arcane mages, after all, the arcane mages were the darlings of the spirit.
β¦β¦
Six parts of the blood of the dragon, all of which were handed over to a pharmacist of the Great Arcane mage level, and after a week, six copies of the phantom dragon potion could be obtained.
While waiting, Janis leads the way and takes Duke to Mangrove City.
Mangrove City is a water city, most of the urban area is located on the water, and the mangrove forests all over the city are the characteristics of this water city.
And in the central area of the city, in the center surrounded by five towers, grows one of the largest arbors, a mangrove tree, whose crown covers a square kilometer.
Birds live in the canopy, and fish swim beneath the roots.
It forms a vivid and beautiful picture.
"The headquarters of the Spirit Pet Alliance is under the canopy of this 3-ringed tree king, the Mangrove King." Janis led the way through the alley next to the Union Tower.
Then I saw the huge mangrove king.
The canopy height is 50 meters, and the branches are luxuriant, and there is a space of more than 10 meters below the canopy, and countless other kinds of mangrove trees are guided to grow, forming a treehouse block, which has become the most prosperous commercial area in the entire mangrove city.
Each little mangrove tree has been specially cultivated and grows out of the water to become a tree house.
Treehouses are connected to treehouses, and neon lights illuminate all this like a dream world, and it is impossible to tell whether this is the sky, land or sea.
"Master Duke, go this way." Janis walked onto a living tree bridge formed by two trees twisting into each other.
There are no artificial roads here, and all the trunks and branches of various mangroves are twisted together to form roads, railings, houses, and even street lamps and signboards.
"This should be put on the earth, and it must not become the first Internet celebrity check-in point?" Duke followed behind Janis and looked at the entire mangrove forest curiously, and had to say that in terms of artistic aesthetics, this mangrove forest was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen.
There weren't many pedestrians, but it was obvious that it was basically Master Ao and his entourage shopping.
Walking through a few mangrove houses, Janis led Duke and his party to a tall house with a slide card sign hanging on the branches of a mangrove tree.
Spirit Pet Alliance.
Home of the elves.
There are two lines of tower text on the signboard, shining brightly.
Janis beckoned, "Lord Duke, let's go in." β
"Wait a minute, I'll comprehend the mystery of the Mangrove King." Duke stood on the tree bridge and touched his stomach.
The chick popped out.
Big eyes blinked, and just as he was about to speak, Duke held out a finger.
So the chick resigned himself to his fate, bit Duke's finger, merged with Duke, and quickly entered the elf form.
began to comprehend this 3-ring tree king - the king of the mangrove tree.
"Is this Lord Duke's elves, and the elven form?" Janis looked at Duke, whose height had skyrocketed under Offa's robes, and couldn't help but light up her eyes, "There is a kind of sick beauty, indescribably handsome." β
When Mulali heard this, she said proudly: "Mr. said that this is called the elf form, and Mr. is always very handsome, anytime and anywhere." β
"Indeed." Janis nodded.
Then he asked curiously: "When you gentlemen comprehend the mystery of the Tree King, are you so casual, don't you need to find a good place to comprehend?" β
"I don't know, but with our husband's understanding, it's just a matter of understanding the mystery of the Tree King, and it doesn't seem to have any sense of ritual." Mulali said.
Mu Lashan immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mr. advocates simplicity. β
Janis wanted to say that this has something to do with the sense of ritual and the admiration of simplicity, how can the mystery of the Tree King be realized casually, and how can you get a gift from the Tree King if you don't make all the preparations.
And yet the next moment.
Duke let out a sigh, then opened his eyes, withdrew from his elven form, and then stuffed the green-skinned tadpole into his stomach.
clapped his hands and said indifferently: "It's done, let's go." β
Yanis asked curiously, "Lord Duke, are you now enlightened, don't you need to prepare again?" β
"Prepare what?" As Duke walked, he said casually, "It's just a matter of understanding the mystery of the Tree King, where do you need to prepare?" β
"But if you are so perfunctory, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand the mystery of the Tree King." Janis replied, thinking in her heart that maybe Duke from the countryside did not know much about the mysteries of the Tree King, and thought that it would be enough to casually consult and understand, and as for whether it was successful or not, he would give spiritual guidance.
Duke was already standing in front of the gate of the Spirit Pet Alliance's headquarters, and when he heard this, he turned around and said, "Isn't this already enlightened?" β
Janis was stunned: "What? β
"Grow Mangrove King, this is the mystery of the Mangrove King, and this Mangrove King is not a simple 3-ring tree king, but a 3-ring elf Benshu King, which once gave birth to a great elf...... It's no wonder that the Spirit Pet Alliance chose this place as its headquarters. β
Duke said, already letting people open the door of the Spirit Pet Alliance.
Just now, in his sea of qi, a fifth spiritual seed grew, a small mangrove tree, and the happy chicks jumped straight on the clouds of the sea of qi.
In the spiritual sea, there is also a fifth mystery - Growth Mangrove King, the mystery of this Mangrove King is to help elves grow.
Not only in reality, but it helps elves grow.
The growth in the Spirit Sea: The Mystery of the Mangrove King can also help Duke's contract elves grow, but it is unknown how much help it can play.
"Welcome to the Spirit Pet Alliance, please ask if you have an appointment." The receptionist at the front desk of the Spirit Pet Alliance was about to go through the process, when he suddenly saw Duke surrounded by people, and he sighed, "May I ask if you are Lord Duke Sage?" β
"It's me." Duke responded with a smile.
The receptionist at the front desk immediately got up and walked out of the front desk: "I don't have your appointment record here, Lord Duke Sage, but it is our honor for you to come to the Spirit Pet Alliance." I'll take you on a tour of the Spirit Pet Alliance first, and here my colleague will inform the elven envoy on duty today. β
"Okay."
Led by the receptionist at the front desk, Duke entered the headquarters of the Spirit Pet Alliance, which was composed of a large number of treehouses.
Through the breathing resonance established by the breathing method, you can feel the breath of several elves here, as well as the rhythm of many elves' original spirit plants.
And Janiss, who was behind him, looked at Duke's figure with a somewhat complicated expression.
I have mixed feelings in my heart.
She is also a talented female arcane mage in the arcane holy city, whether it is in the arcane mage group or in the old riding circle, she is a leader of the new generation.
However, it had been seven years since she had been promoted to Arcane and had yet to comprehend the mystery of even a single Tree King.
Those seniors who had comprehended the mystery of the Tree King had told her that to comprehend the mystery of the Tree King, she needed to adjust her state to the best, and persistently comprehend the Tree King, and completely bring herself into the natural power of the Tree King.
Only then can there be a glimmer of possibility of success.
But now.
Someone actually comprehended the mystery of the Tree King in minutes, and the process was not similar to the warnings of the predecessors.
Shaking her head, Janis suppressed the wavering in her heart, and just asked the unknown spirit: "Spirituality...... Do you really love Duke so much? β
Ask for tickets~
