Chapter 268: Duke House
Woooooo
The battleship Lookout, sounding its whistle and dragging a long whistle, slowly moored to the designated berth of the Cuihai City Flight Station.
After a few months, Cuihai City has completed the main buildings and roads of the city, and only the details are still being renovated.
The small triangular lake, where the former spiritual fountain was located, has been completely covered.
The Union Tower, the Elemental Tower, the Erudite Tower, the Faling Tower, and the Observation Tower, five towers representing the city's power mechanics rise from the ground and soar into the sky.
The original location of the 3-ring Tree King-Green Banyan Forest has been built into a community, especially near the main trunk of the Tree King, where several single-family villas have been built, and there is even a small mage tower for the mages to settle here.
"Thank you for your service all the way, just rest in Cuihai City for two days, and I will pay for all the consumption."
Before leaving the USS Lookout, Duke thanked the crew and escorts of the ship.
There is no need to refuse this kind of thing, and the crew members, while singing the praises of Duke, are happy to accept it, and are ready to indulge in this foreign land for two days.
The ladder was lowered, and Duke slowly stepped off the battleship.
On the waiting platform of the new flight station, there was already a banner holding alof, with the banner reading "Warm welcome to Duke the card-making sage and erudite sage, returning with honors", apparently knowing in advance that the battleship Lookout would arrive at the flight station today.
"Whew." Duke took a deep breath, "It's still the air of my hometown, which makes people feel more at ease." ”
"Your Excellency!"
A group of escort knights, surrounded by a group of people, rushed straight over.
Duke smiled slightly, he had already seen his personal knight, as well as the two assistants, as well as the teacher Suktara, and his good friend Sanfez.
"I'm back, teacher." Duke strode forward.
Sukhtara wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and put on a warm smile: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
"Your Excellency!"
"Sir!"
Vivien, the three of them, ran over, but stopped in time.
"I'm fine, I'll laugh, don't be so pretentious." Duke patted Vivian's hand, touched the heads of Mulali and Mulashan, and then turned his head, "And you, Shanfeisi, aren't you in Shenjiao City, why did you come to Cuihai City?" ”
Dressed in a proper arcane robe and with two moustaches, Shanfiz replied calmly: "You have forgotten, I have become the director of the Cuihai City Hospital, and I am busy with the preparations for the hospital here, so I will borrow your Sage Mage Tower. ”
"Okay." Duke opened his arms.
Sanfis was embarrassed to step forward, hug Duke, and then whispered in Duke's ear: "Your lovers, I really can't bear you, I have only been away from you for a few days, and I have been crying like this...... Tsk, you're still amazing! ”
He didn't know what had happened to Duke.
The matter of the Sinking Demon's attack on the Bibo has been blocked by the high-level of the Seven Towers Federation, and only a few people know about it on the side of the Black Jiaohe Land.
This few, apparently, does not include Sanfez.
"Haha, I treat people with sincerity, and people naturally treat me with sincerity." Duke said casually, then turned to Sukhtara and said, "Teacher, let's go back first, I haven't been back for almost four months, and I really miss my Mage Tower." ”
"You can rest assured, everything in the Mage Tower is running normally, and it is running according to the rules and regulations you have made." Sukhtara laughed, her eyes reddening slightly.
She is one of the few people who knows about Duke's accident, after all, Duke's entourage needs her to appease and restrain her to ensure that the news will not be leaked.
When she learned that Duke had been killed, she really felt like five thunderbolts.
It is rare to find an heir who can place his life's dreams on it, and even the entire inheritance has been handed over to Duke, but when he learns such news, he has to lift his spirits to calm the situation, which is difficult to see.
Fortunately, hope was finally waited.
Duke turned the corner and returned, her lifelong dream back.
Before boarding the shuttle, Duke left a few more members of his entourage behind to arrange the crew and escort of the USS Lookout.
Only then did he go to the Duke Sage Mage Tower in Lingya Mountain.
Far away, you can see the towering mage tower, and at the base of the tower, the castle area has begun to take shape.
After waiting up the mountain, I arrived at the gate of the Mage Tower, and there was another group of people waiting at the door.
"Roar!" Seeing this, Xiaodou pointed to the tall figure in the crowd and shouted, it was Levine, who had the best relationship with Levine except for Duke.
In the earliest days, Duke was busy going out, and it was Levine who took care of it.
Duke saw two young men and women in arcane robes in front of the crowd, a man and a woman, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Teacher, who are these two?" ”
Sukhtara said with a smile: "Come, let me introduce you, these two children are the new arcane mages in the Black Jiaohe Land this year, the brothers and sisters Brock and Bprophon. They chose to come to your Duke Sage Tower to study, and the teacher agreed on your behalf. ”
Brock and Ibuprofen are all thin and ordinary-looking.
At this moment, he stepped forward to salute with a slight crampedness: "I've seen Lord Duke Sage." ”
They were born in poor families and have never seen much of the world, so they are much worse in communication, but they seem to be very calm.
Speaking of which, the two siblings are the same age as Duke, both 22 years old.
"Hello, I'm surprised that you chose my Mage Tower to study, but since you're here, let's study here seriously." Duke was very mentor-like, and he had already talked and laughed with Mentor Offa, and it was naturally no problem to teach his students.
"Yes, Mentor!" The siblings breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Duke had agreed to take them.
Following behind Duke, Shanfiz muttered on the side: "Actually, you are not surprised at all, right, the new arcane mage in the entire Black Jiaohe Land, if you don't choose your mage tower to study, it is basically a problem with your brain." ”
"I think that if you work hard and develop more in medicine, you may not be without the possibility of being promoted to the 3rd Ring, and you will be able to build a mage tower and accept students in the future."
"Uh...... It's too far away. Sanfiz didn't dare to think about it.
He used to be pretentious, but unfortunately after being hit several times, he realized that his spiritual arcane talent was poor, so he chose the medical profession in the field of life to heal mortals.
"Lord Duke, you're back." 2 Ring of the Olympic Master Leovis, who was also in the crowd, was in charge of the day-to-day management of the Mage Tower.
Like Vikas's guide from Penrose's Mage Tower.
However, Leoves' position is not an assistant, but an associate professor after Duke's restructuring.
Later, Terrence, Celesius, and other 1-ring mages also greeted Duke, and they were all assistant professors.
"I haven't seen you for many days, and it seems that everyone has adapted to the work of the Duke Sage Mage Tower." Duke walked to the staircase and looked around at the crowd, "Then, all professors, associate professors, assistant professors, researchers, and fellow students will go to the big conference room for a meeting." ”
Inside the Mage Tower, there are still many places under renovation.
However, the main part has been completed and can be functioned normally.
Moments later, in the large conference room on the ninety-ninth floor, the Arcane Masters sat around the conference round table. Others, but not arcane masters, sat in the long table area behind the conference table. All looked at Duke at the top of the list.
"Ahem." Duke coughed lightly, "Before the meeting, let me introduce you to the Grand Butler of the Duke Sage Mage Tower, Pheasant Feather. ”
Snap your fingers.
Suddenly, above the conference table, a basin-sized trilobite spirit body condensed, and said softly to the surroundings: "It's nice to meet you, I am the tower spirit of the Duke Sage Mage Tower, you can call me Pheasant Feather, and I will serve you at any time." ”
"Pheasant Feather is the tower spirit of the Mage Tower and the castle, except for the matters that must be reviewed and signed by me, all other matters can be reported to Pheasant Feather."
The appearance of the pheasant feather surprised everyone for a while.
However, everyone soon accepted the existence of Pheasant Feather, after all, Duke was famous throughout the Seven Towers Federation, and it was normal to have one or two ancient spirits.
"Then I have to reiterate that the Duke Sage Mage Tower is a new type of mage tower, and this new type does not mean that it is new, but that its rules and regulations are new. Here, the study, study, and application of spiritual arcane law are integrated, and I hope you can understand it. ”
After a pause, Duke smiled and said, "Of course, I know that you have already had relevant experience in the Suktara Mage Tower, so I hope that in the coming years, we can work together to build this Mage Tower into a new holy place for spiritual arcane!" ”
There was a round of applause.
Whether everyone believes or not, Duke's pie is drawn, at least at this moment, everyone's emotions are still mobilized by Duke.
I am also willing to believe that under the leadership of Duke, a genius with the title of double sage, he has made great achievements.
The meeting was not long, and there was not much content, except for Duke to explain his future plans for the Duke Mage Tower, mainly through some personnel appointments and dismissals.
Appointments to posts of a service nature, negligible.
Academic positions are mainly divided into two categories: arcane and non-arcane, of which arcane masters are defined by the title of third-level teacher.
They are, professor, associate professor, and assistant professor.
Academic staff of non-arcane mages, such as spiritual apprentices, archknights, spirit plant envoys, and ordinary researchers, have the rank of Level 4 Researcher.
They are, special researcher, senior researcher, intermediate researcher, and junior researcher.
Among them, the newly promoted arcane mage who came to study did not have the title of teacher, but was directly designated as a senior researcher.
Among the non-arcane mage researchers, there are outstanding contributors, who can be promoted to the rank of special researcher, at the same level as the title of assistant professor.
In other words, there are six levels of title in the Duke Sage Mage Tower - First Class Professor, Second Class Associate Professor, Third Class Assistant Professor and Special Researcher, Fourth Class Senior Researcher, Fifth Class Intermediate Researcher, and Sixth Class Junior Researcher.
In this world where arcane mages rule everything, the Duke Sage Mage Tower is not exempt from vulgarity, and non-arcane mages can only climb to the third rank.
First-class and second-class titles, which can only be obtained by arcane masters.
In the process of auditing, Shanfiz suddenly became interested, and also wanted to join the Duke Sage Mage Tower, and let Cuihai City Hospital enter the laboratory, and join forces with the Duke Sage Mage Tower to develop some new medical technologies and medicines.
In the end, Sanfis was awarded the title of assistant professor.
"Shanfeisi, this society must develop in an all-round way after all, and ordinary people have a lot to do, so you really chose medicine and studied hard in this industry." After the meeting ended, Duke deliberately left Sanfiz to give some advice, "I think that if you study medicine well, you may not be able to shine in the spiritual arcane." ”
"Hmm!" Sanfiz nodded heavily, "Thank you, Lord Duke for your teachings!" ”
"It's so formal." Duke tapped him on the shoulder.
Shanfeisi smiled: "Yes, yes, you are now a big man with the title of Double Sage, and you are also a 2-ring arcane mage, I should have called you an adult." ”
"Wrong."
"Huh?"
"I'm not a 2-ring mage." Duke smiled indifferently, "I'm a 3-ring arcane mage, but I haven't had time to register at the Faling Pagoda yet. ”
"Ahh Sanfez's eyes widened, "No! ”
He knew very little about spiritual feedback, so he couldn't understand why Duke's path was so smooth and fast.
"I'm about to go to the Faling Pagoda, well, I'll register at the Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City." When Duke was in the Archam Holy City, he didn't make a public appearance, so he didn't register at the Faling Tower, and now he has returned to his hometown of Cuihai City, where he completed the record-breaking.
But he suddenly remembered something: "Have the chiefs of the five towers of Cuihai City been elected?" ”
"At present, there are only deputies, Lord Elwin acting as the Chief Governor of the United Tower, Lord Jovis Lynx acting as the Chief Director of the Elemental Tower, Lord Boudon Wind Snake acting as the Chief Director of the Erudite Tower, Lord Bernoulli acting as the Chief Director of the Observation Tower, and Mentor Penrose acting as the Chief Director of the Faling Tower."
"Boyton Wind Snake, who is this?" Duke asked.
"Lord Boyton used to be the director of the Erudite Tower of Runwu City, the arcane master of the 4th Ring Earth, and his family has migrated to Cuihai City and settled in Cuihai City." Shanfiz replied, "There are currently three major families migrating here, in addition to the Wind Serpent family, there are also the Armored Rat family and the Warthog family. ”
Duke of the Armored Rat family knew that De Riley Armored Rat relied on his father to be a 6-Ring Sky Arcane Mage and his brother to be a 4-Ring Earth Arcane Mage, and had previously competed with Duke for the Twin Springs.
He frowned and said, "Who is the Warthog family?" Lord House Warthog? How could he be willing to be the chief director of the Faling Pagoda in Runwu City? ”
As the central city in the field of wind and breath, Runwu City is equivalent to a provincial capital.
The chief director of the Faling Tower, House Warthog, is a 5-ring sea arcane mage, and it can be said that he has long been a big man.
"It's the brother of Lord House Warthog, Haute Warthog, the 3-Ring Arcane Mage." Sanfiz is well informed about this.
After speaking, he said worriedly: "I know several arcane masters, and they all think that Runwu City is coming to pick the fruits of our Cuihai City!" ”
"It is inevitable that the fruit will be picked." Duke can see clearly, "If you can classify Cuihai City in the Black Jiaohe River, you must give up some interests." ”
Heijiaohe region, one place and two cities.
This is a very rare administrative division, especially since the Seven-Tower Federation is a federal system, basically a city is a state. This kind of two cities are still one state, and the interests involved are very huge.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the gate of the Mage Tower, Herdos, the captain of the guard knights, hurriedly came: "My lord, the high priest of the Black Snake family asks to see you. ”
Mu Lashan also followed: "When the second grandfather heard that Mr. you were back, he immediately took a flying car and came with the uncle, and Sister Mu Lali was accompanying them." ”
"Okay." Duke motioned for Sanfis to wait.
Then he went to meet Mulland Black Snake and Muhans Black Snake, both of whom also didn't know that Duke had an accident, but they heard that Duke was back and came over to contact their relationship.
"High Priest, Uncle Muhans, stay at the Mage Tower at noon, and we'll have lunch together. I'm going to go to the Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City now to update the Faling Card information. Duke motioned for Mulari to entertain the two of them in his place.
Mulland Black Snake squinted and smiled brightly: "Lord Sage, you are busy with you, as long as the old man and Muhans are accompanied by Mulali." ”
Wait until Duke turns to leave.
The smile on his face never stopped, his eyes were on Mu Lali, and his smile became brighter and brighter: "Little Mu Lali, you have to serve the good sage well." ”
"Second grandfather, don't worry." Mulali nodded.
Mu Hans breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some self-deprecation: "Duke Sage's aura is getting stronger and stronger, and getting close to him gives me a sense of oppression. ”
"After all, it's a double sage, and the old man also felt a little out of breath just now." Mulland Black Snake agrees.
He worked tirelessly to maintain a small nobleman, and it was rare to see a big man.
looked at Duke, who grew up, but he has grown into a big man who stomps his feet and is about to be earthquaked, and his identity aura is too strong.
However, neither of them thought about whether Duke's aura was too strong, or whether his aura had become stronger again.
Even Mu Lali, the little assistant, didn't know that Duke had been promoted to the 3rd Ring Arcane Mage, and thought that Duke was still the 2nd Ring Arcane Master.
"Fortunately, Duke Sage's attitude towards us is still the same as before." Muhans said with relief, listening to Duke call himself Uncle Muhans, it was really an indescribable comfort, as if he had become a famous big man.
When Mulland heard this, he immediately became vigilant and said: "Muhans, you have to pay attention, although the Sage Lord is still the same to us, but we must respect the Sage Lord more, and we must not rely on the slightest relationship to take it up!" ”
"Yes, Second Uncle." Muhans replied solemnly.
"Well, I'll go back after lunch and don't bother the sage don't bother you." Mulland said in a deep voice, "In addition, you will personally supervise the renovation of Duke House, and when the repair is completed, it will be opened to the public and the number of visitors per day will be strictly guaranteed." Remember, it's our attitude, not making money from it. ”
"I know, Second Uncle."
……
Duke didn't know that the Black Snake family was already planning the launch of the "Duke House", and he had already rushed to the Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City with Shanfis.
Mentor Penrose is currently acting as the chief director of the Faling Pagoda, but he is not here today, presiding over the work is the 2nd Huanao Master Malxiu - Malxiu was previously a director of the Faling Pagoda in Shenjiao City, and now he has transferred to the Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City as a director.
"Lord Duke!" Malthieu warmly received Duke, "It's a great honor to see you again, you've shocked the world again!" ”
Malcius gushed praise on the Ring of Imprint, blowing the technology into such a daze that it almost blew into the Valhalla Temple.
"Your Excellency Malciu, I'm here today for something."
"Ah, please command!"
"I'll update the Fa Ling card information." Duke took out his purple background and gold-edged magic card, the purple background represents the Great Ao Mage, and the gold edge represents the title of scholar, "I was just promoted to the 3rd Ring Arcane Master some time ago, and I have been delayed in registering. ”
"3 rings!" Mar exclaimed.
But looking at his expression, he was not surprised by this matter, but had a kind of excitement that was expected to come true: "Are you now promoted to the 3rd Ring Senior Arcane Master!" ”
"Yes."
"Ah, okay, okay...... Acting Chief Peng Rose, who is presiding over the work, is not here today, or you should go to the testing room first and test the Linghai level according to the usual practice. I'm going to have someone contact Acting Chief Penrose and Lord O'Ruch at once. ”
"Whatever." Duke doesn't care.
He just came to register a message, and the records were all his, a full nine years ahead of the previous record, and he didn't care if he registered early or late.
After the detection chamber's quasi-arc device was activated, a special spiritual interaction was stimulated, and feedback from Duke Linghai was obtained.
"3 rings! It's really 3 rings! Malthieu clenched his fists and cheered.
As early as when he was not transferred to the Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City, he had talked to the chief director Oluqi and others, and decided that Duke would definitely be able to break the record of the youngest 3-ring arcane mage, and the record of the fastest promotion to 3-ring, but it is unknown what it will look like.
Therefore.
When Duke said what he meant, he wasn't so surprised.
Tianjiao, who can open the will of the stars, was promoted to the 3rd Ring Arcane Mage at the age of 22, what is so strange. In ancient times, there were still people who had just opened the spiritual sea and were promoted to the existence of arcane mages on the same day.
In short, on the path of spiritual arcane, with spiritual guidance, anything is possible.
"Lord Duke, the information is correct, you are already a 3-ring mage." Malhew waited for Duke to step down from the instrument table, and immediately greeted him, "I take the liberty of asking, when did you get promoted to the 3rd ring?" ”
"More than a month ago, but it doesn't matter, you can remember that I was promoted today." Duke said casually.
"Ah......h Lord Duke, it is about the records of the entire Seven Towers Federation and even the entire human race, the Faling Pagoda needs the most accurate data, can you still recall the day you were promoted, what month and what day was it? Malthieu insisted on asking for a date.
Duke naturally remembers, and if he doesn't remember Xiaoyi, he will help him recall: "April 5th." ”
"Okay, on April 5, 4418 in the Storm Calendar, Duke the Learned Sage and Card-Making Sage was promoted to the rank of 3-Ring Senior Arcane Mage......" Malcius quickly recorded the time, and then sighed, "You have improved the 3-ring record for nine years!" ”
"With the development of spiritual arcane, perhaps it won't be long before someone breaks my record." Duke laughed.
"I can't guarantee that your record won't come back, but it's certainly not going to be anytime soon." Malthieu took Duke's magic spirit card and quickly updated the information for him, "I have already reported to the Fa Ling Pagoda in Runwu City, since your magic spirit card is specially made, the new card has to be sent from the arcane holy city. ”
The magic spirit card of the Great Ao mage level is at least a 3-ring spirit card, which needs to be made by card-making scholars and even card-making sages themselves.
Malthieu handed over the old card: "You can now use the old card within the Black Jiaohe Land, and when the new card arrives, we will immediately send someone to notify you and replace the old card with a new card." ”
"Thank you."
"You're so kind!" "It's a pity that I can't be the master, and if Lord Oruqi were here, the bell would definitely ring." ”
Shanfeis, who witnessed the record on the side, immediately praised it: "This is a good idea, such a glorious moment, it should be celebrated by the whole world!" ”
"There's no need." Duke smiled and declined, "The bell of the Faling Pagoda is best to ring for the new Arcane Mage, I am only promoted to the 3rd Ring Armage, and there is no significance worth ringing the bell." Marl, you relayed this to Lord Oruchi. ”
In fact.
The bell of the Faling Pagoda in Shenjiao City has already sounded twice for Duke, once to promote the arcane mage, and once to promote the 2nd ring arcane mage to break the record.
"Uh, okay, as you wish." Malcius replied.
Sanfis wanted to say something, but he kept his mouth shut, after all, his identity was only the 1st Ring Arcane Mage, Duke regarded him as a friend, but he couldn't look at Duke level.
Can only look up.
Some things are not easy to say casually.
Leaving the Faling Tower, Duke and Sanfiz took a shuttle back to Lingya Mountain.
As soon as he ascended the mountain, he received a report from the captain of the guard, Herdos: "Your Excellency, Lord Keystone Fury and Lady Kiria Fury Tao are visiting, and Master Sukhtara is receiving you in the Mage Tower. ”
"Really!" Duke's eyes lit up.
Then he strode into the mage tower, and under the guidance of the tower spirit pheasant, he quickly rushed to Sukhtara's office.
When I opened the door, I felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing, and then I was knocked into my arms by a warm body, and my golden hair was curled up to the tip of my nose.
It's Kiria Fury, who I haven't seen for a long time.
Ask for tickets~
