Chapter 255: The Blue Thread of the Road

"We believe that it is the anthropomorphic energy that humans have endowed plants with the power of nature, which has prompted plants to give birth to spirits."

In the Spirit Pet Alliance, the 2-ring Spirit Planter on duty today is Mendes Kingfisher.

He is also a 2-ring mage.

Contracted a little elf named "Rainbow", and the rainbow was born from a 2-ring elf original spirit plant-rice valley. This rice grain is a natural growth in the rice field cultivated by the kingfisher family for many years, and there is no special breeding.

At this moment, Mendez was talking to Duke: "The spirit plant makes the farmers work in the fields without stopping, and the natural power of the spirit plant absorbs all kinds of thoughts and thoughts emanating from the human mind, and then condenses the spirit plant by the power of nature. ”

He is also a scholar of spirit plants, which is exactly what he specializes in: "Over time, elves are born in spirit plants. ”

said.

Mendez asked his assistant to send a well-packaged book and handed it to Duke: "Duke Sage, you are highly accomplished in the field of card making and erudition, and I believe you also have a deep understanding in other fields, this is the spirit plant paper I have published so far, please enjoy it." ”

"Okay, I'll find time to read."

Duke took the book and handed it to his assistant, Mulali.

Continue to discuss elf-related content: "I actually agree with your statement, this elf I contracted was raised by the Crypt Marching Ants, and it can communicate with ants in indiscriminate pheromones, obviously, this is an innate ability. ”

"Tsk, the elves raised by ants." Mendez glanced at the chick lying on the table and exclaimed, "It's really rare, but judging from the fact that it can communicate with ants, it is indeed the ant's mind, as I said, that gives it the energy of ontological anthropomorphism." ”

Plants & Animals.

These are two very different systems of life.

But in the wilderness, spirituality becomes a bridge between the two.

The force of nature is also a kind of spirituality, absorbing enough animal thoughts, and then combining with spirit plants, the strange life form of elves is born.

Subsequently.

Duke asked about a new topic: "Mendez, do you think there are any restrictions on the evolution of elves to elves?" ”

"This ...... To be honest, I'm just a 2-ring elf envoy, and I've been contracting rainbows for nearly forty years, and I haven't figured out how to make rainbows evolve. On Mendes' shoulder, a yellow caterpillar similar to a bellflower stares curiously at the chick.

It's the elf rainbow of Mendez's pact.

Mendes shook his head and continued, "And, as far as I know, the types of elves are mainly divided into two main categories. The elves born from flowers and fruits, usually like rainbows, are called butterfly elves; Elves that are bred from rhizomes, branches and leaves, usually like chickens, are called frog elves. ”

The butterfly elf is in the 2-ring pixie stage, which is in the caterpillar form, and when it evolves to the 3-ring elf stage, it will feather into the butterfly form.

The frog elf is in the 2-ring elf stage, which is in the tadpole form, and when it evolves to the 3-ring elf stage, it develops into the frog form.

"So in the Spirit Pet Alliance, has anyone's elf evolved into a big elf?" Duke said, pointing to the top of his head again, "For example, who is the elf bred by this Mangrove King?" ”

"You even know that the Mangrove King gave birth to elves."

Mendes exclaimed: "The first contractor of the Mangrove King Elf is none other than the founder of the Spirit Pet Alliance, the 7-Ring Morning Star Arfa Mentor Sarao Mangrove. However, Lord Sarao is already a legend thousands of years ago, and now the contractor of the Mangrove King Elf is the descendant of Lord Sarao, Sarajevo Mangrove. ”

Elves are eternal.

One lasts forever.

The lifespan of the elves is related to the spirit plant, the spirit plant immortal spirit lasts forever, and the spirit plant withered spirit will gradually lose its vitality.

"Sarajevo Mangrove?" Duke had never heard of that name.

Mendez explained: "He is a 3-ring arcane mage, a 3-ring elf envoy, and one of the guards of our Spirit Pet Alliance, who has just stepped down as the rotating leader, and currently lives in the Mangrove Mage Tower on the outskirts of Mangrove City, and is one of the three 3-ring elf envoys of our Spirit Pet Alliance. ”

"I would like to ask Your Excellency Sarajevo to come over for a talk, but I don't know how to contact him?"

"Then I will send someone to inform Your Excellency Sarajevo."

"I'm tired."

About an hour later, Sarajevo Mangrove arrived at the headquarters of the Spirit Pet Alliance.

The ancestors of the Mangrove family had a 7-ring Morning Star Arcane Mentor, but unfortunately now it is withering, and Sarajevo at the 3-ring level has become the strongest in the family.

Faced with Duke's question about how to make a pokemon evolve into a big elf, Sarajevo shook his head again and again: "Many people ask me this question, but unfortunately, I can't answer it." The ancestor first contracted the 3-ring Mangrove King, and then discovered that the Mangrove King gave birth to a great elf. ”

He smiled bitterly: "So, the elf ruby is a natural elf, not evolved from a elf. ”

"I see." Duke was a little disappointed, but didn't show it, and just asked, "I wonder if I can see the Elf Ruby?" ”

"Okay." Sarajevo patted on the stomach.

Immediately, a butterfly the size of a basin slowly condensed into a fiery red figure, and its whole body was like a piece of burning jade, leaving a trajectory like flames between flights.

"Ruby, I've met Duke Sage." Sarajevo spoke.

The butterfly elf Ruby looked at Duke with the compound eyes on his head, and spoke slowly, like a little girl's voice: "Hello, Lord Duke Sage." ”

"Hello, Ruby."

"Rainbow, meet again, hmm, is this little tadpole a new elf?" Ruby was clearly familiar with the Spirit Pet Alliance.

When the chick heard this, he glared and said, "Who is the little tadpole, I am the little chicken!" Chicks don't understand, blind your dog's eyes, take a closer look at whether I'm a tadpole! ”

Duke smiled awkwardly: "It's my contract elf chick, I haven't received a good education since I was a child, and my words are a little rude." ”

"Cute, isn't it." Ruby is worthy of being a great elf who has lived for thousands of years, and although his voice is brittle, his tone is much more mature.

After getting acquainted.

Duke chatted with Sarajevo and Mendes for a while, but unfortunately there was no exact way for the elves to evolve into the elves.

Even the other two 3-ring elves are also elves inherited from the family.

"Let's just say that everything is guided by spirits, Lord Duke Sage, you are loved by spirits, and perhaps, sooner or later, your chicks will evolve into elves." Mendez concluded.

But it was always a little strange to hear Duke.

"What do you call my chicks, it's my contract elf chicks!" Duke complained in his heart, fortunately, the chicks and chicks in Tawen did not have any related attributes.

Ultimately.

Mendes and Sarajevo Mangrove warmly invite Duke to join the Soul Pet Alliance.

All monks who have contracted elves, whether they are arcane mages or not, can join the Spirit Pet Alliance to exchange and share their experience in raising elves.

"Okay, count me in." Duke doesn't have to refuse, just put it on the line.

So far, this time in the Arcane Holy City, he has not only become famous in the Arcane Wizard circle, but also successfully joined the Old Rider Circle and the Spirit Pet Alliance.

It's useless though.

At least a familiar face has increased a lot of contacts.

Such and such.

Duke spent two weeks in the arcane holy city in a flash, and gained a lot of spiritual arcane knowledge in the cultivation of the spiritual sea, the blood sea, and the qi sea.

"What time is it?" Duke wakes up from the Crystal Palace in Selsath.

"February 30th, sir." Mulali had already put on her makeup, and responded with a smile in her eyes, "At ten o'clock this morning, you made an appointment with Lord Keystone to discuss the affairs of the Black Jiao Riverland on the battleship Bibo. ”

The calendar of the Federation of Seven Towers, February also has thirty days.

"Okay, I remember." Duke just asked casually, and on the vindictive holographic screen, there was a schedule every day.

None of the to-dos he needs to remember.

"Go and inform Mentor Penrose, we will leave for the city of Bluwhale Bay on time at a quarter past nine, and board the Blue Wave to welcome Lord Keystone." Duke commanded.

Although Shenjiao City is thousands of miles away from the Holy City of Alpha.

But with the presence of the Bibo, Keystone can transcend the barrier of time and space, and a clone descends on the Bibo to communicate with Duke.

Of course.

There are serious restrictions on the advent of this kind of doppelganger, and each arcane mage can only make a projection ring, and cannot infinitely replicate the projection ring.

So basically, the Great Arcane mages install the projection ring on their warships and airships, so that they can quickly rush to the battlefield or go to other regions in their clones. On the Blue Wave, there is a projection ring installed by Keystone Fury.

Keystone had come a few times before and talked to Duke about the situation on both sides.

At a quarter past nine, Duke and Penrose boarded the shuttle and quickly flew to the city of Bluwhale Bay, where they arrived at the flight station and boarded the battleship Blue Wave.

"Lord Duke, Lord Penrose." The commander of the battleship greeted the great knights.

These days, the crew of the battleship Bibo basically lives on the battleship, and basically does not get off the battleship except for going out to buy supplies.

"You've done a great job." Duke nodded.

Then he followed Penrose into the projection room in the bow of the ship.

The projection ring, a peculiar instrument, is installed here.

Unlike the Arcane Projection Room in the Tower, the Projection Ring in the Projection Room is unique, and only Keystone can descend and exert most of its combat power.

Arcane projection is based on the projection ring technology, although it can be projected without limiting personnel, but the projection clone has no combat effectiveness. Only the projection ring can bring out the top combat power of the Great Ao Mage, and the long-range combat is invincible.

"Before you know it, it's almost March." Penrose sighed.

"Yes, I've lived in the Arcane Holy City for a long time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to it when I go back to Cuihai City, the spiritual arcane atmosphere here is far stronger than that of the Black Jiaohe River."

"You can settle in the Holy City of Ofa, and to be honest, this is the best place for you." Penrose said, "The strong academic atmosphere and the rich spiritual particles are of great help to your cultivation, much better than in the Black Jiaohe Land. ”

"That being said, the waters of the Alpha Holy City are also deep." Duke looked out of the porthole and could see the Whale Mirror Lake in the distance.

The lake looks as beautiful as jade.

But no one can guarantee whether there is a demon of destruction hiding under the lake.

It is important to know that the Fallen Demon is essentially a slave of the spirit, and prefers to hide near the fountain of spirit, and maintain his life by absorbing the spirit.

As long as they don't cast arcane arts, even arcane teachers can't lock them down.

Moreover, only in the top-level spiritual spring of the Whale Song Mirror Lake, spiritual particles are gushing all the time, and the Sinking Demon will not be discovered when it absorbs spirituality. An ordinary spiritual spring, even if it is a large spring where Shenjiao City and Cuihai City are located, once there is a sinking demon absorbing spirituality, it will be discovered.

Therefore, theoretically, only the Arcane Holy City and the Central City of the Twelve Realms have living Fallen Demons hiding in them.

Without self-preservation, Duke didn't want to be their prey.

Reputedly.

The Sinking Demon likes to prey on humans the most, especially those who are favored by the spirits, and Duke happens to be the most favored by the spirits, but he happens to be weak.

"Good thing Lord Serthas gave me a moonlight cage." Duke couldn't help but touch the moonlight cage hanging on his chest, it was a small jade mirror, which brought him a full sense of security, even greater than the sense of security brought by the sand eagle.

The main thing is that Sand Eagle only has two rings, and like him, it needs to grow.

When you come back to your senses.

The huge instrument in the projection room, the ring-shaped device, had been rapidly turning, and then a figure was projected from the instrument.

It's a shadow of Keystone Fury.

It's not as solid as when Arcane projected, but the doppelganger phantom of the projection ring is all composed of psionic energy, and its power is incomparable.

"Duke, Penrose, have you had breakfast?" Keystone's doppelganger phantom sat directly opposite the two of them, and in the phantom, you could see the spiritual energy stirring, as if it was about to escape - even if the projection ring could only replicate half of the strength of the body, it was powerful enough.

"Your Excellency!" Penrose hurriedly got up and said hello.

Duke also said hello.

The duration of the clone phantom is limited, so it needs to be made short, Duke asked first: "My lord, the giant of light has already built a production line of the spirit card branding instrument, and in addition, the Runwu City United Card Store has not sent someone to discuss the matter of buying shares?" ”

"The Giant of Light has already built a production line, and after the product came down, I tried it, and the Ring of Branding technology is really wonderful."

Keystone first sighed, and then hummed: "The people at the Union Card Store have not moved for a long time, and it seems that they can't see the impact of the brand ring on the card industry...... Lord Loren Sangove, he shouldn't be so disdainful, but he doesn't have a lot of shares in Union Card Store. ”

As the town guard of the Wind Breath Realm, Loren Sankagome has taken a stake in Union Card Store, but not the most.

Union Card Stores have a history of thousands of years, and the real majority of the shares are in the hands of many old aristocrats.

"It doesn't matter, there will always be people who will choose to work with me, and Union Card Store is not the only choice." Duke looked nonchalant.

But there was some resentment in my heart.

The arcane mages of Runwu City don't seem to really take him Duke seriously.

If he really put him in his eyes, how dare De Riley Armored Rat jump out and compete with him for the Twin Springs. And the Armored Rat family is just relying on the chief director of the Elemental Tower, Deckert Armored Rat, the 6-Ring Sky Arcane Mage.

"Could it be that my future, in the eyes of these veteran nobles, can't even reach the 6-Ring Sky Arcane Mage?" This made Duke feel a fire burning in his heart.

My thoughts drifted slightly.

Keystone had already said something else: "Spirituality, it still favors me in the Black Jiaohe River, just two days ago, the Faling Tower struck the bell twice in a row. ”

"Promoted two arcane mages in a row?" Penrose was surprised.

"And that's not all." Keystone smiled, "It's still a pair of twins, the elder brother Bullock and the younger sister Ibuprofen, who came from a working family, and didn't even join the Snow Eagle family as a vassal, and just by listening to public classes, they were promoted to the arcane mage at the age of twenty-two. ”

Duke hadn't spoken yet.

Peng Rose commented with a natural face: "Promoted at the age of twenty-two, the talent of these twin siblings is average." ”

"General?" Keystone glanced at Penrose in surprise.

Then he glanced at Duke again, and then suddenly he snorted, "You have a high vision, and even the twenty-two-year-old Arcane Master can't see it." But in this world, there are so many geniuses like Duke who were promoted to arcane mages at the age of sixteen. ”

After speaking, he added: "It's my little Kiriya, who was promoted to an arcane mage at the age of eighteen, and can also be called a lady of the sky." ”

Penrose smiled wryly, unable to answer.

After getting along with Duke for a long time, he almost forgot that Duke's talent is hard to find in the world, and others can reach the height of Duke's talent, but there is no one.

After all.

Duke is the youngest 2-ring arcane mage in the history of the Seven Towers Federation, the youngest erudite sage, the youngest card-making sage, and the only one who has achieved the light of the three-in-a-row erudite tower.

"If they hadn't joined the Snow Eagle family and become vassals, they would have been promoted to arcane mages based on their own talents, and these two brothers and sisters would have been really geniuses." Duke exclaimed sincerely.

Others may think he is a genius.

But only he knows that a large part of his current achievements must be counted on Xiaoyi's head, and he has hanging!

Brock and Bbuprofen brothers and sisters, who do not rely on external forces or dependence, can both be promoted to arcane mages at the age of twenty-two, this is the posture of genius.

"What's the funniest part, you know?" Keystone asked with a smile, narrowing his eyes suddenly.

"What?"

"I've heard from Oruqi that the siblings have already chosen a mage tower to study, and there is only one option, which is your Duke Sage Mage Tower." Keystone said with a smile, "In the blink of an eye, you're also the one who is going to take the students." ”

"Choose my Mage Tower?" Duke was also slightly excited.

As Keystone said, he's also the one who is going to take the students.

Although it has only been less than seven years since he himself was promoted to the arcane master and officially stepped into the spiritual arcane hall, his achievements are better than many arcane masters in a hundred years, and he is qualified enough to lead students.

"Alright." Keystone stood up, "We've talked about everything, Duke, isn't the time for the Star Tower to start the Will of the Stars?" ”

"It should be soon."

"Well, then I wish you success in opening the will of the stars and getting valuable revelations in advance." Keystone's figure began to dim, "If there are no accidents, I will come back to the Blue Wave again at this point in time in five days." ”

"Okay, Master Keystone, you go slowly." Duke and Penrose got to their feet and watched as Keystone's figure completely dispersed.

Peng Rose sighed with emotion: "Time flies, you also have to take students." ”

Duke smiled: "I still remember that when I chose Penrose Mentor Your Mage Tower to study, many people looked at me and laughed at me, thinking that I might not be able to learn a famous hall in the field of card making, and now that I have obtained the title of card making sage, it can be regarded as an explanation." ”

"I'm one of those frogs at the bottom of the well who thinks you may not be able to learn." Penrose shook his head in shame.

"They are all arcane mages, who can convince whom, they always have to work hard little by little to impress others." Duke waved his hand, "Let's go, Mentor Penrose, I'm going to read a book in Offatari, are you going with you or somewhere else?" ”

"Let's go together, I also happen to be studying in the Arcane Holy City, and I have participated in several academic seminars on the Ring of Imprints in the Arcane Holy City recently, and I feel that I have gained a lot."

It has only been two weeks since Duke announced the Ring of Imprints.

However, it has become a must-learn skill for all card makers, contract masters, puppet masters, and array mages, and the papers written by Duke have been browsed and recorded by many arcane mages after they were delivered to the various magic towers, forming an academic craze.

Around the Ring of Imprints, a storm has been brewing that has swept many fields.

But.

Duke, who is deep in the eye of the storm, is not disturbed by the outside world. Perhaps it was because he wanted to open the will of the stars, so the arcane teachers deliberately blocked unnecessary troubles for him, so that he could have free time and read freely in the Offa Tower.

this day.

In front of Duke's desk, who was reading a book, a colorful cake-shaped jellyfish swam in and said in a gentle voice: "Duke, the stars have brought an edict and determined the date for you to open the will of the stars, and the people of the Star Tower are waiting for you outside the door." ”

"Yes." Duke closed the book, "Trouble Shell Wise Person, you put the book back in its place, I'll go out first." ”

"Go, witness the revelation of the will of the stars."

Bidding farewell to the Shell Wise Man, Duke walked out of the library door and saw three arcane mages waiting outside the door, led by a purple arcane robe, which was the symbol of the great arcane mage.

"Duke Sage, Situ Wen, the director of the Star Tower, is hereby informing you that the date for the opening of the will of the stars has been set, and the chief director asks you to go over and discuss the specific rules."

"Okay, Director Situart."

Duke followed Situ Wen and the three of them and quickly rushed to the Star Tower.

Then he met with the chief director of the Star Tower, Muse, who said gently: "The will of the stars will open the date, set tomorrow, March 6 at about 9 o'clock in the evening, the hunter is holding a sharp blade and piercing the belly of the whale, it is the time when the stone breaks the sky. ”

The hunter refers to the constellation Hunter, and the whale refers to the constellation Cetus, both of which are the division of the stars in the sky by the astrologers of the Seven Towers Federation.

"What do I need to prepare?"

"Recuperate your spirits, regulate your diet, and from today onwards you will live in the prayer room of the Tower of the Stars, silently reading the astrological relics. When the time comes, I will personally take you to the Star Observatory to initiate the opening ceremony of the will of the stars for you. ”

"That's very good." Duke nodded in agreement.

Immediately, a staff member took him to the shower and change clothes, and then had a simple dinner with ten dishes.

Go to the toilet, brush your teeth and wash your face.

Entering the prayer room, I sat down cross-legged, and the walls around me, which had been bare, soon disappeared into darkness as if night had fallen.

Only a little starlight remains, suspended throughout the prayer room.

Then they compose one star map after another, each with a Taven introduction, explaining to Duke how many constellations there are.

and the far-reaching impact of the movement of each star in the constellation.

Let's be honest.

Duke was confused, and couldn't quite understand why these stars, which should be different light years away, should be classified as the same constellation, and why the trajectory of these stars would have an impact on the reckless world.

"But since astrology has been developed for thousands of years, it should have its own reason...... Xiaoyi, record these star maps for me one by one! ”

"Okay master, I've turned on the recording mode for you."

Xiaoyi tried his best to record, and Duke carefully distinguished, trying to find a constellation similar to the earth from thousands of constellations.

Pity.

Not really.

and Orion, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cygnus that he still remembers clearly...... None of them are alike.

What is the Big Dipper, the Cowherd and the Vega Star, and it is impossible to find it.

"It's possible that I'm still in the Milky Way, but not in the Orion Arm where the solar system is located, and the position has changed, and the constellations in the sky will naturally change with it."

Duke looked at the star-twinkling star map, his mind drifting far away.

Unconsciously.

Nine o'clock has arrived.

The door to the prayer room opened, and the star map around Duke quickly faded, revealing the bare walls.

"Duke, come with me." Chief Muse, dressed in a red arcane robe and holding a cane in his hand, said mildly.

"Yes."

Duke followed the muse and entered a ladder to reach the top of the Tower of the Stars, which was not a spire, but a flat top.

The round flat top is about 100 square meters.

There are no guardrails, only densely carved lines on the flat floor, like a ring architecture with one ring nested into one ring.

"This is the star-seeing platform of the Star Tower, which is the product of the combination of formation and astrology, a quasi-arcane weapon. After thousands of years of exploration, the sages have mastered the awakening time of the will of the stars, so they created the star platform and opened the will of the stars. ”

The muse stood on the edge of the stardom, outside all the ring lines, and if he took a step back, he would fall from the tower.

However, for the 7-ringed Morning Star Arcane Mentor, not to mention falling from the tower, it is also falling from space, and it will be safe and sound-the 6-ring Sky Arcane Mage will be able to fly in the air, not to mention the 7-ring, 8-ring Arcane Mentor.

"Tonight, Starlight...... It's so charming. The muse held his head high, his silver hair striking out in the dark night.

Duke stood in the center of the star platform, learning her to raise her head, and also looked at the starlight in the sky: "It's really beautiful." ”

"So." The muse suddenly turned his head and raised his cane upward, "Go, witness the enlightenment of the will of the stars!" ”

The crutches burst out with a brilliant light, instantly inspiring the carved lines on the star platform, and one by one the lines lit up, and the light emitted enveloped Duke until it submerged him.

Only then did the muse put down his crutches, and said faintly, as if to himself, "Go, listen to the teachings of the stars to our lowly mortals...... We have come from primitive ignorance, the road is blue, the stars are the spirits, and we are guiding the ...... step by step."

This time, it will be the same......
