Chapter 270: Mysterious Breath
The Duke Sage Mage Tower is as lively as the New Year's Festival, and waves of arcane mages come to congratulate them.
Some of them left their gifts and names and left, while others stayed here and enjoyed a feast.
There aren't many who really need Duke to entertain in person.
On the third day, there was a guest he needed to entertain, a female mage, Lonise Sankagome.
Just for the other party's noble surname, Duke needs to entertain him personally.
"Duke Sage, congratulations on your record-breaking promotion to the 3rd Ring Arcane Mage." Lornice looked to be thirty years old, but her hair was gray, and she was obviously almost a hundred years old, "On behalf of my grandfather, Loren Sankagome, I congratulate you. ”
The gift she brought was a batch of mountain kagome potions.
The specialty of the Sangome family is the Shankowei Elixir. This potion can help the spirit beast companions of the knight's contract to break through the shackles.
Normally, the level of the contract spirit beast will be dragged down by the knight and stop at 1 ring.
But with the Mountain Kagome Elixir, the spirit beast of the high-grade bloodline could continue to break through upwards and reach the level it should have reached.
A 1-ring knight, if there is a 3-ring level contract spirit beast, then the combat power will definitely skyrocket.
As a result, the value of the mountain gagome potion is very large, and it is often only circulated at auction, and it is rarely bought directly with money.
Duke happily smiled at this batch of mountain kagome potions, and responded enthusiastically: "Thank you Lord Loren Mountain Kagome for the gift, I didn't expect that the small matter of my promotion to the 3rd ring even shocked the town guard. ”
Lonise Sankagome smiled and said, "Grandfather is full of praise for you, thinking that you are the next generation leader in the field of wind breath, and you will definitely be one of the stars in your lifetime." ”
"Lord Loren's praise for me is too great." Duke said humbly, and then remembered, "He is the Optimus Pillar of the Wind Breath Realm, and I still remember the demeanor of Lord Loren when he destroyed the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon in the Cuihai Valley more than a year ago. ”
It was also the first time he had seen the stars strike, the star cage locked onto the battlefield, the pale hand covered the sky and the sun, and then the black jade horseshoe crab dragon died.
There is no ability to struggle at all, and between the same large class, the arcane mage is invincible.
Hearing Duke touting his grandfather, Loenis smiled brightly: "Grandfather has fewer shots now, when I was a child, my grandfather would participate in the pioneering war almost every year, and the wurm aura on his body could make spirit beasts with 6 rings and below unable to move." ”
After touting Loren Sankagome, Loenis said what she meant: "The Sankagome family is very optimistic about the development of the Light Giant Spirit Artifact Company, I don't know if Duke Sage allows shares to be bought and sold, my family has a plan to buy shares." ”
"Take a stake in the Giant of Light?" Duke raised his eyebrows slightly, and then responded, "I don't hold much of my shares, and I don't prohibit shareholders from trading privately." ”
Duke currently holds a 25% stake in the Giant of Light.
He also holds a 1% stake in the company of Sibidi, but he already plans to sell it at the right time.
Although the Xibi Land Spirit Mining Company makes money, digging spirit crystals is no different from printing money, but after all, it is limited to the corner of the Black Jiaohe Land, and the prospects for future development are not great.
When he sold his shares, he vacated two anchor positions and could reopen two companies.
One has long been decided to open a telecommunications company, and the other is reserved for new inventions before operating.
As for the DreamWorks Film and Television Company founded by Kiriya, Duke did not take a stake, he only relied on film and television-related technology and optical storage-related technology to collect royalties - with the development of technology, the market is booming, and the patent fees have been relented.
"It's good if you don't refuse." Seeing that Duke did not object, Lonise immediately said, "I will let the family buy the shares of the Giant of Light in the market." ”
"How did the Sangmy family become interested in the Giants of Light?"
"Actually, my grandfather meant...... Our family is already planning to withdraw from Union Card Stores, and the development of Brand Ring technology is doomed to the decline of Union Card Stores. And the Giant of Light has the Ring of Branding Technology and the Lingka Branding Device patent, which must have great prospects. ”
"Lord Loren's vision is very accurate." Duke exclaimed.
Immediately, he knocked on Lonise for a while, and roughly understood Loren Sankagome's attitude, obviously the other party was dissatisfied with the aristocratic forces of Runwu City.
Among the stars, there may be some conservative and some enterprising.
But in the promotion of spiritual arcane, the goal of all is the same, which is to keep climbing the peaks.
This is also the reason why the Federation of Seven Towers can develop into the largest power.
Loren Sankoway hopes that Lingka can be opened to the whole society, but the old aristocrats of Runwu City still hold on to the idea of monopolizing the card-making industry, and they have obviously had irreconcilable contradictions with Loren Shankagome.
Therefore, it is reasonable to shift the target and choose to cooperate with Duke.
Set goals for cooperation.
Then the rest of the details can be left to the team behind each other, Duke entertained Loenise Sankagome for a meal, and no longer focused on the other party.
The teacher, Sukhtara, will help him receive Lonis.
"Xiao Lili, what else do I have today?" Duke lay on the sofa chair and enjoyed a massage by two little assistants.
In fact, Xiaoyi had already arranged his itinerary properly.
It's just that Duke doesn't want to treat himself like a robot, strictly follow Xiaoyi's arrangement, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't need to be so rigid.
Besides, I also found some work for the little assistants.
"Sir, at 3 o'clock this afternoon, you were scheduled to meet with Your Excellency Brock and Ibuprofen to talk about their research directions."
"Hmm, what time is it?"
"It's thirty-fifty."
"What's next?"
"Mimi's Phantom Beast Promotion Experiment." Mulali flipped through the notebook she was carrying and reported, "If you don't use the three Phantom Dragon Elixir again, they will expire, and the other three Phantom Dragon Elixir you auctioned have already been bought. ”
Duke had previously purchased six portions of Wurm's blood and asked an apothecary scholar to make six Phantom Dragon Elixirs.
Three for Xiaodou, and three for Vivian's contract spirit beast Mimi.
However, Xiaodou has already relied on the blood spirit crystal to promote the phantom beast, so there is no need for the phantom dragon potion, Duke simply asked people to take it to auction, and while the medicine is still effective, help a certain 1-ring knight to break through to become a phantom beast knight.
"Well, that's it." After thinking about it for a while, Duke ordered, "Let Brock and Ibuprofen also participate in the Phantom Beast Promotion Experiment, and I'll talk to them while helping Mimi get promoted." ”
"Okay, sir, I'll let you know."
After a while, Duke entered the prepared laboratory, where Vivien had been waiting with Mimi for a long time.
Mimi is a 2-ringed spirit beast - the bloodline of the Black Spotted Serval.
Now the 1st ring is about to be completed, but due to Vivian's restrictions, he has been stuck here and cannot break through unless he takes a mountain kagome potion.
"Your Excellency." Vivien stood up and saluted.
"Don't worry, Mimi will be promoted to a phantom beast." Dukla patted Vivien's hand, "Even if the promotion fails, I will provide it with the Sankagome Elixir to help it advance to the 2nd ring." ”
It's a pity that the blood spirit crystal has been eaten by Xiaodou, and there is no way to bring it back, otherwise you can directly use the blood spirit crystal to help Mimi evolve.
Vivien nodded quietly, her eyes flashing with tenderness and sweetness.
"Meow." Mimi also seemed to know that today was its important day, and called softly, looking a little cramped and uneasy.
At this time, Mulari rushed over with the brothers and sisters Bullock and Ibuprofen.
"Mentor." The brother and sister greeted each other respectfully.
Duke looked at the emaciated brother and sister and said, "I'm sorry I was scheduled to see you at 3 o'clock, but I was late for an important guest." That's why I'm calling you over now, and I've delayed you for a lot of time. ”
Brock is a little wooden.
Ibuprofen is more active than my brother: "Mentor, you have a lot of important things to do, so it doesn't matter if we wait." Moreover, my brother and I were both practicing just now, and we didn't delay anything. ”
"It's good to prepare to practice anytime and anywhere, and I've been promoted to an arcane master, but I've just stepped into the realm of spiritual arcane, and I need to work harder in the future." Duke gave him a few words of encouragement, and then ordered, "Let's start experimenting." ”
The Phantom Beast Promotion Experiment was not a rigorous experiment.
Duke directly condensed the hand of the arcane weapon, turned into thousands of threads, and then pierced Mimi's body, and then made Mimi take the phantom dragon potion.
The brothers and sisters Brock and Ibuprofen were in charge of handing over the potion bottles and so on.
Vivian sat cross-legged on the side, practicing the blood refining method, helping Mimi refine the medicinal power of the Phantom Dragon Elixir, and the hand of the arcane weapon also had a part, piercing into her body, detecting the changes in her fighting qi in her meridians and limbs, and collecting data.
After taking the Phantom Dragon Elixir, under the urging of the Blood Refining Method, Mimi's body seemed to be infused with a huge force.
Let it be filled with blood mist on the surface of its body in an instant.
Wei Wei was relieved and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Mimi.
Duke immediately reassured: "Don't be nervous, I will monitor Mimi's physical condition at any time, and I won't let it happen, you do your job." ”
"Yes, sir." Vivien took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in her heart.
Duke paid attention to Mimi's situation and asked Xiaoyi to record the specific data in detail, while chatting distractedly.
"Brock."
"Mentor, I, I'm here."
"Relax, have a quick chat." Duke put his hands behind his back and said casually, "What realm do you like, you are using energy fusion to solidify the spirit core, not to mention the elemental realm." Card making, contract, alchemy, formation, puppet, potion, life, beast taming, royal Gu, spirit plant, astrology, and naturalism, what do you like best? ”
"Naturalism, Mentor, I want to learn from you." Bullock replied.
"The study of naturalism is very complex, and to learn it, you have to learn all the fields of knowledge and transform them into the technologies that society needs."
"I'm not afraid of difficulties!" Brock spoke firmly.
"But I'd like to hear what your favorite field is, not the one you want to study the most." Duke turned to look at Bullock.
He could sense that Bullock didn't want to learn naturalism because he liked it.
Just like children from poor families who are admitted to university, they may not choose their favorite major, but consider what major will make money in the future and shoulder the burden of the family.
"I'm ......," Bullock hesitated.
Ibuprofen immediately reminded: "Brother, in front of the teacher, you should say whatever you think. ”
After being reminded by his sister, Bullock confided: "Mentor, in fact, I like the puppet field the most, and I envied those construction pilots who drove puppets when I was a child. ”
"Oh, then why not choose the Karius Mage Tower, Lord Karius Flamingo, but a puppet scholar."
"My sister loves naturalism, and I would like to join her, and Lord Oruqi has suggested that I come with my sister to your mage's tower to study." After Brock finished speaking, he stammered and added, "Actually, I also like naturalism. ”
Duke was noncommittal, glanced at Mimi, who was still suffering from the power of the Phantom Dragon Elixir, and turned his head and asked ibuprofen again: "What about you?" ”
"I like naturalism the most, Mentor." Ibuprofen spoke much more generously, "I live with my brother in Snow Valley Town, and after I was promoted to spiritual apprenticeship, I worked in a spiritual weapon repair shop, and I like to disassemble the old spiritual weapons in the shop the most......"
When ibuprofen talked about spiritual weapons, he gushed endlessly.
This reminded Duke of when he was a child, when he was on Earth, he also liked to tinker with all kinds of electrical appliances in the house, and once he even dismantled the DVD.
Then it was installed again, and the degree of reduction was quite high, but it was not energized.
Fortunately, my parents didn't know that the DVD had been dismantled by him, and they thought it was broken, so they sold it as scrap.
"Very well, I already understand your preferences." Duke concluded, "On the path of spiritual mysteries, interest may not lead to a better way to practice, but it will undoubtedly add a lot of fun to your boring exploration. ”
He said to the siblings, "No matter what the field, the most important thing during the period of studying at the Duke Sage Mage Tower is to lay a good foundation...... In addition, I do not restrict your freedom here, and after the basic lessons are completed, you are also welcome to go to other mage towers to listen to the classes. ”
Duke doesn't like to engage in any kind of academic activities, and he prefers a free research atmosphere.
The Duke Sage Mage Tower, in accordance with his proposal, will also be built into an open mage tower for all the arcane mages to come to exchange and learn.
Between words.
The snow mist on Mimi's body has dissipated a lot, and the power of the phantom dragon potion in her body has also begun to decline, but it has not been able to push it to evolve into a phantom beast.
"One is not enough, continue to take the second one." Duke motioned for ibuprofen and handed Mimi a second Phantom Dragon potion.
Mimi's body has been torn out by the surging power before, and many dark wounds have been torn, but in order to evolve, it still supports its body and drinks the second phantom dragon potion.
A new force began to permeate, and once again a mist of blood shrouded its body.
No one spoke anymore.
Duke looked at Mimi intently, sensing the changes in Mimi's body through the hand of the arcane weapon, and gradually had a trace of realization in his heart.
"The power of the Phantom Dragon Elixir was not absorbed by Mimi, but turned into a special spiritual power, trying to awaken some kind of ...... in Mimi's body Some kind of gene, no, it has nothing to do with genes, it should be some kind of bloodline hidden deep in the body! ”
In Duke's perception, the huge energy in the Phantom Dragon Elixir was not the real core medicinal power, but the core medicinal power was a trace of wulong blood.
The wurm bloodline was accompanied by surging power, rampaging through Mimi's body.
But it can't be integrated, or it can be made by phantom dragon potion, and it doesn't let the spirit beast fuse the blood of the wulong in it.
"It's an introduction, and the entire Phantom Dragon Elixir is a medicine introduction, which is responsible for drawing out some kind of primordial bloodline in Mimi's body!"
Duke's heart moved, and he immediately whispered to Vivian: "The strength of the blood refining method is not enough, you need to surge your fighting energy, so that Mimi's spiritual power echoes your fighting energy more strongly!" ”
Vivien didn't answer.
But the fighting spirit of the whole body had already been puffed up, and a faint light of fighting energy bloomed on her, setting off her like a Valkyrie.
"It's still not enough!" Duke frowned.
After waiting for Xiaoyi to calculate the probability of success, he quickly made a decision: "Take the third Phantom Dragon Elixir for Mimi!" ”
"Yes, Mentor." Not only was ibuprofen not nervous, but he was in high spirits and quickly helped Mimi take the third Phantom Dragon potion.
Then look at Duke, then look at Mimi.
His face was red with excitement, not for the experiment itself, but for being able to do the experiment with Duke.
Being able to do experiments with card-making sages and erudite sages is the dream of many arcane masters.
Rumble!
The wurm blood veins in Mimi's body, with the blessing of surging power, were like magma eruptions, tearing Mimi's body to the point of wounds, and the blood on her body splattered out round after round, forming a thick blood mist that completely enveloped it.
"Vivien, keep up the effort!" Duke continued to command.
The Hand of Arcane Weapons has not only stayed at the stage of perception, he has begun to use the Hand of Arcane to interfere with the entire evolutionary process, helping Mimi maintain her bodily functions and prevent her from being destroyed by surging power.
The scene seemed tense.
But everything is in Duke's hands.
"Master, the best solution at present is to actively guide the wurm bloodline and surge towards Mimi's heart, according to calculations, Mimi's hidden primordial bloodline has a 25.6% probability of hiding here, and it is most likely to be induced by the wurm bloodline."
"Understood." Duke quickly manipulated the Hand of the Arcane.
The inextricable strands distributed in Mimi's body began to vibrate the spiritual energy, suppressing the surging power, and guiding the wurm bloodline to impact Mimi's heart.
It's like doing a heart pacing.
With the impact of the Wulong bloodline again and again, finally, when the power of the Phantom Dragon Elixir was about to exhaust, a flash of breath was accurately captured by the perception of the hand of the arcane weapon.
"This is the moment!"
Duke's eyes were focused, and his attention was highly focused on the hand of the arcane weapon, guiding the wurm bloodline to slam towards a flash of aura.
Rumble!
It seems that this breath was angered by the wulong bloodline, which was originally just a small sprout, and instantly swept through the entire heart area, directly engulfing the wulong bloodline.
Duke's hand of the arcane weapon was also repelled by this swollen breath and had to withdraw from Mimi's body.
At this moment.
Mimi has passed out, but the changes in her body are really happening. Especially after the blood mist dissipated, the knight contract mark on his forehead emitted a strong light.
In the light, it can be clearly seen that the second loop suddenly closes, forming a complete snarl ring 2-ring knight contract seal.
A new power burst out from the 2-ring imprint, slowly repairing Mimi's already broken body.
"Your Excellency!" Vivian exclaimed, filled with joy, "I feel that the fighting spirit has already undergone a qualitative change!" ”
Duke smiled indifferently: "It worked." ”
Mimi has evolved from a 2-ringed spirit beast-Black Spotted Serval bloodline to a 2-ringed phantom beast-money serval, and Vivien then broke through the 2-ring phantom beast knight.
Blinking, Duke said, "Vivien, go see Mimi." ”
"Hmm!" Vivien nodded, not saying a word of thanks, a thousand words were not as practical as the hard work of the evening.
Leave the lab.
Duke encouraged the brother and sister a few more words, and then asked the brother and sister to go back, and he returned to the office, silently thinking about this phantom beast promotion experiment.
When Xiao Dou was promoted to a phantom beast, he needed to cooperate with the blood refining method, so he didn't perceive it too carefully.
But in Mimi, he saw more details.
"It's very strange that Mimi has a primordial bloodline hidden in her body, which means that most spirit beasts have this primordial bloodline hidden in their bodies, at least spirit beasts that can evolve into phantom beasts." Xiaoyi replayed the experimental data, and Duke looked at it and guessed.
Judging from the currently known records of phantom beasts, more than three thousand kinds of spirit beasts have the potential to evolve into phantom beasts.
It is distributed between various families and genera.
"With such a chaotic phantom beast variety, it is very likely that all spirit beasts will have such a primordial bloodline in their bodies. It's just that some spirit beasts happen to be excited, and most of them don't meet the conditions for excitation...... This primordial bloodline should be the Divine Ancient Dragon. ”
Duke had consulted the information in Offatari.
In the early records of the Federation of the Seven Towers, there was once an astrologer who received a revelation from the stars of the Divine Ancient Dragon.
However, because the age is too old, and the Seven Towers Federation was created at that time, it is not very formal.
This has led to a somewhat blurred record.
Only some of the relays that are difficult to distinguish between true and false are left, saying that there was once a sacred ancient dragon who killed himself in the reckless world, spilling blood on the earth.
But the dragon will eventually come back to the skies.
It was also from this earliest legend of the dragon that the myth of the phantom beast was the bloodline of the dragon.
It is said that if the spirit beast evolves all the way up, it can evolve into a dragon beast.
Become a dragon and soar through the sky.
"Many arcane mages deny this kind of talk, the reason is very simple, the phantom beast is 2 rings, the high-level phantom beast is 3 rings, and theoretically the dragon beast is only 4 rings." Duke shook his head, "The Four-Ringed Dragon Beast is too far from the legendary Divine Ancient Dragon. ”
However, today's discovery made Duke believe one thing, that is, there was indeed a powerful primordial bloodline hidden in the spirit beast's body.
The bloodline is stronger than the dragon bloodline.
"At that time, the primordial bloodline in Mimi's body was provoked by the wurm bloodline, and it directly skyrocketed, and swallowed the wurm bloodline...... It can be seen how fierce the primordial bloodline is! Duke thought.
The spirit beast has been multiplied for I don't know how many generations, but the primordial bloodline can still burst out with powerful power, and the power of the bloodline refined from the blood of a wulong can be directly engulfed. From this, it can be seen that the quality of the primordial bloodline is far beyond imagination.
"Wurm is 9 rings, Divine Ancient Dragon can't be 10 rings, right?" Duke shook his head, unable to be sure, "Mankind's exploration of spiritual arcane methods has only reached the 8th ring at present...... 10 rings, too far away...... But maybe I can get a glimpse of it! ”
When "Duke Flying Feather" and "Duke Leap" become more and more knights, the increase in fighting spirit will become stronger and stronger.
Sooner or later, he will be able to take a small pocket and evolve to the 4-Ringed Dragon Beast.
At that time.
You'll be able to catch a glimpse of the dragon.
Perhaps from the 4-ring dragon beast, the mystery of the original bloodline in the spirit beast's body can be deciphered, and the real sacred ancient dragon can be traced, and then the realm of the 10 rings can be spied on.
Thinking a little far.
Duke retracted his reverie and decided to be pragmatic: "Xiaoyi, make a Phantom Beast Research Plan and merge the plan with the Blood Spirit Crystal-Blood Spirit Formation Plan. ”
"Good master."
The discovery of the Asiba tribe allowed Duke to see the natural formation created by nature, the Blood Spirit Formation, and the product of the Blood Spirit Formation, the Blood Spirit Crystal.
There is no doubt that the Blood Spirit Crystal's breakthrough to the Spirit Beast to the Phantom Beast is much more powerful than the Phantom Dragon Elixir.
"This will be a great research, if I can study the artificial preparation method of the Bleeding Spirit Crystal, it is equivalent to saying that I can make Phantom Beast Knights in batches." Thinking of this, Duke couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Humanity will be stronger at that time. ”
The Ring of Imprints allows the achievements of spiritual arcane laws such as spirit cards and puppets to sink further into the society, arming ordinary people, especially the monks of the Three Seas who are trapped in the 0 ring.
The production of blood spirit crystals has increased the combat effectiveness of knights.
"It is equivalent to saying that I will use my own strength to make the combat power of mankind carry out a large-scale sublimation!"
Although the arcane mage represents the true power of the human race, there are too few arcane mages after all, and they can't shelter too large an area. You can only choose to build a town near the spiritual spring, and protect the territory on a small scale, and most of the area is still primitive and savage.
"The combat power of the 2-ring phantom beast knight, how can I say that it can catch up with the 1-ring arcane mage...... If you can mass-produce blood spirit crystals, wouldn't it be equivalent to mass-producing 1 ring arcane mage? ”
