"Meow!"

The 2-ringed phantom beast that replaced the black markings with the money markings, the money serval cat, slammed into Vivien's hand, and the golden light flashed, and it had turned into a pale golden long sword.

Phantom beasts, phantom beasts.

As the name suggests, it is a spirit beast that can transform into forms.

The transformation of the Golden Serval was not armor, but a money sword, but the hilt of the sword seemed to melt, fusing with Vivien's hand.

"Cool." Duke, who was standing opposite, looked at Vivien, who was holding the money sword, and exclaimed, "But how powerful it is, it needs to be further tested...... Xiaodou, it's our turn to transform and merge. ”

With a call from Duke.

With a whoop, he ran straight to Duke, slammed his head into Duke, and then turned into a set of spiked armor at great speed.

One of the spikes, which appeared on Duke's hand, was thin and long, as if it were a sharp sword.

"Are you ready, Vivien?" Under the hideous helmet, Duke asked in a deep voice.

Vivien pulled a sword flower at any time and replied, "My lord, please." ”

Duke immediately stepped forward, and the already qualitative fighting spirit quickly covered the spikes in his hands, which he called "Wasp Sword".

It means wasp tail back needle.

At this moment, the wasp sword was wrapped in his fighting energy, as if it had put a layer of sharp blades on the outside, condensing into a long sword two fingers wide.

The fighting spirit of the 2-ring phantom beast knight can already reach the level of illusion condensation.

This is a principle similar to the release of arcane, both of which are the transformation of invisible power into tangible things, but the arcane is ever-changing, and the fighting spirit is relatively fixed.

While!

The two of them staggered, and the money sword and the wasp sword clashed, condensing into a substantial collision of fighting energy, and directly shattered like ice cubes.

The tiny debris splashed, and before it hit the ground, it turned into a fighting spirit and dissipated.

"Your Swift Sword Technique has improved a lot, and the power and angle of this move are perfect." Duke praised as he fought.

Vivien's efforts were seen in his eyes bit by bit.

However, sometimes hard work can't fill the gap in talent, at least compared to Duke, Vivian's combat effectiveness is a little underwhelming.

Airplanes!

The moment it staggered again, the Wasp Sword swung away the money sword at a tricky angle, and then the tip of the sword grazed directly against Vivien's sideburns, spraying a sharp sword ray.

A little more at the angle, the sword could stab Vivien in the cheek.

"You're slow to react, Vivien, and if I want to, this sword will make the difference." Duke turned around and slashed again, pinpointing the attack line of the money sword, and the sword glowed like a poisonous snake spitting letters, sometimes shrinking, sometimes skyrocketing.

Vivien didn't answer, and she couldn't be distracted by the pressure Duke's offer.

He gritted his teeth and waved the money sword in his hand, trying to keep up with Duke's fighting rhythm, and his fighting spirit kept running, trying to deliver a threatening blow.

Pity.

On the opposite side, Duke, although he did not condense "Duke Flying Feather", but "Duke's Leap" is running almost all the time, making his body flexible to the extreme.

Occasionally, Vivien's money sword would break through the blockade and stab Duke at his side.

But he will always be able to use the "Gammat Shield" by Duke in time to prevent this blow, let alone hurt Duke, and he can't even touch the spiked armor.

"There's still work to be done, Vivien." Duke commented for a long time.

The wasp sword in his hand would always unleash a tricky and strange attack from time to time, forcing Vivien to scramble.

Whether it's swordsmanship or body technique, any fighting spirit martial art can turn decay into magic when it reaches Duke's hands.

There is no other reason.

Xiaoyi will calculate countless combat methods based on Douqi martial arts, and then after these methods are displayed, Duke will follow and explore. Over time, these fighting martial arts skills became Duke's subconscious behavior.

The so-called Daigo empowerment is nothing more than that.

Vivien gritted her teeth, gasped for air, and then rushed towards Duke with a fighting spirit, but her body was already out of order.

Duke taught her day and night, in simple terms, and the "Duke Leap" that he taught her couldn't be performed.

However, just as Duke was about to shake his head to comment.

The money long sword suddenly struck a sword light towards the door in front of him, and the cold light was a little cold, Duke reacted instinctively, crossed his hands, and condensed a gammat shield in front of the front door, and the fighting spirit quickly became as hard as iron, and it was difficult for any sword light to penetrate.

But just as the sword was about to point on the Gamat's shield, Xiao Yi's red light warning flashed on the Douqi holographic screen.

The next second.

That little bit of cold light turned without warning, as if it had turned from a sword into a cat's claw, bypassing the shield of Gamat and clutching heavily at the mask of the spiked armor.

Smack!

The mask of the spiked armor was scratched out of three cracks.

"Whew!" After Vivien struck the blow, she collapsed on the ground, her whole body almost exhausted, and her chest rose and fell violently.

Duke was stunned for a moment.

Although the Spiked Armor had not yet shattered, not even the instantaneous 2-Ring Combo Arcane-Elemental Arcane Shield had not been activated, indicating that the blow would not pose any threat to him.

But if it were someone else, an ordinary 2-ring phantom beast knight, he might not be able to dodge this blow.

"Well done!" Duke came back to his senses and praised without hesitation, "What is this move, is it Mimi's own talent attack?" ”

"I don't know, it's Mimi telling me in my heart that it can do this." Vivien grabbed Duke's hand and stood up, "It can transform into a money sword, and when it releases its sword, it can turn into a cat's claw to attack opponents. ”

"Hmm, pretty good move, sneak attack works quite well." Duke smiled, "It should be similar to my wasp sword, and it is the innate ability of phantom beasts. ”

In addition to transforming the spiked armor, the small pocket can also condense an additional slender spike, which is the wasp sword.

In addition to being able to transform into a money sword, Mimi can also perform an attack that surprises her.

He thought about it for a while, and gave Mimi's trick a hot name: "Why don't you call it Cat's Paw Phantom Slash, what do you think?" ”

Although I feel a little ashamed.

But Vivien has always been based on Duke's opinion, so she nodded without hesitation: "Well, let's call it Cat's Paw Phantom Slash." ”

"Meow ......" has been lifted from the illusion, and Mimi, who condensed into her figure, licked the cat's paws with some disdain.

Xiaodou, who also lifted the illusion, saw that Mimi dared to roll his eyes, so he yelled at Mimi dissatisfied: "Whew! ”

The battle is over.

Duke has basically judged the combat power of the 2-ring phantom beast knight, and it may still be weaker than the 1-ring arcane mage, but it is not much weaker.

Once you can mass-produce 2-ring Phantom Beast Knights, you will really want to bring earth-shaking changes to the world.

However, Duke was not in a hurry to study any blood spirit formations and blood spirit fruits, and to manufacture phantom beast knights in batches, his research projects were too many: "In the next period of time, cultivate well first...... The promotion of the 3rd ring is too fast, and the foundation is too late to be consolidated. ”

On the first ring track, the Eye of the Arcane is still in the R&D center.

On the second ring track, there are still two empty seats left, and there are no plans for the time being.

On the third ring track, the Elemental Armor Arcane Wonder is under construction, and once it is completed, it can form a linkage with the Arcane Shield and the Elemental Shield, and instantly combine the 3 rings of the Arcane-Yuan Energy Armor, and the defense power is directly full.

At that time, facing the Grand Olympian Mage, Duke will have the confidence to go for a few rounds.

"Master." Xiaoyi reminded in real time, "The charge of the Star Mark has been completed. ”

"Is it done?" Duke quickly returned to his office, locked the door, and decisively opened the dream of the stars, and began a new round of work to light up the stars.

However, except for the 3-ring tree king - the snowshirt king of the Snow Shirt Palace of the Broken Ice Grand Duchy, no human developed tree king has been found.

After running for half an hour, and successfully lighting up forty or fifty stars, Duke returned to the real world.

Although the stars in the Stars Dream Land are endless, Duke is not in a hurry, and goes to light up the stars every four days, and there is always a day when all of them are lit up.

Forthwith.

He pulled a lump of wood out of his bosom.

"Oak Heart...... I don't know how to activate it. Rubbing the Oak Heart in his hand, Duke thought of something else, "If I ask the Oak Spirit to recycle the Ancestor of the Oak Tree and then plant it on Spirit Tooth Mountain, will it be equivalent to binding the place to return to the city?" ”

Chick, a 2-ring elf, can recycle the 2-ring elf Ben Lingzhi - Ji Yulu.

As a 3-ring elf, the Oak Spirit can naturally also be recycled from the 3-ring Elf Ancestral Plant, the ancestor of the oak tree.

When you return to Cuihai City, you will spit out the ancestor of the oak tree and plant it again.

"But...... Forget it, once the ancestor of the oak tree is taken away, I am afraid that the Asiba tribe will suffer a catastrophe. Duke certainly doesn't want to see that, "On the other hand, the Aciba tribe can also be one of my three cunning rabbits. ”

In case of danger within the Seven Towers Federation, the Asiba tribe is his best refuge.

Much safer than the Snow Shirt Palace.

……

Just as the summer season was approaching, Keystone Fury held a meeting of the Five Towers.

In addition to Keystone Fury, Williams, Erwyn, Stephen Tiger, as well as Bernoulli, Duke, Oruchi, Jovis Lynx and Penrose, Boyton Wind Snake was invited to attend the meeting.

The above people are either the chief of the five towers of Shenjiao City, or the acting chief of the five towers of Cuihai City, so they can attend.

As for De Riley Armored Mouse and Haute Warthog, who are eyeing the Five Towers in Cuihai City, they are not eligible to join yet.

"The purpose of today's meeting is to discuss the issue of the chief candidate of the five towers in the second city of Heijiaohedi, Cuihai City." Erwin, who acted as the chief governor of Cuihai City, sat on the left hand side of Keystone and presided over the meeting, "Referring to the structure of one place and two cities in other regions, we need to appoint a new team in Cuihai City. ”

The Federation of Seven Towers is a federal state.

Each region is equivalent to an independent federation, and even each market town belongs to an independent federation, each in charge of its own affairs, but there will be certain subordination.

In the past, the five towers of Shenjiao City could coordinate the entire Heijiao River, but now there are more Cuihai City, and it is inevitable that they will be separated from each other.

"According to the structure of one place and two cities, the five towers of Shenjiao City are positive, and the five towers of Cuihai City are deputies.

Erwin continued: "Under this system, the Shenjiao City United Tower is positive, the chief consul controls the overall situation of the Heijiao River, and the Cuihai City United Tower is the deputy, and the chief consul of the Shenjiao City United Tower carries out a clear division of labor. ”

Although it is deputy, the chief governor of the United Tower of Cuihai City is at the same level as the chief governor of the United Tower of Shenjiao City.

The rank is still higher than the chief of the other four towers.

"Everyone understands the system." After Erwin finished talking about the system, he began the main text, "Today, we will first ventilate internally, recommend candidates, and then expand the scope of election another day, and allow settlers in Heijiaohe to sign up for competitive positions." ”

After a pause, Erwin said: "As for the outcome of the competition, it will be voted on at its own enlarged meeting. ”

The Heijiaohe region is a federation, but it is not a truly independent federation, and the power of personnel appointment and dismissal still has to be enlarged through the joint tower of the Seven Towers Federation.

However, according to the voting process of the relevant meeting, the opinions of local voters in Shenjiao City will be biased.

At present, Keystone Fury, Williams, Erwin, Stephen Winged Tiger and Duke, these five votes are basically the same, and Boyton Wind Snake has already reversed to Duke in advance, and should also give a unanimous choice in voting.

As for Bernoulli, he must be biased towards the old nobles of Runwu City.

"Okay, the notice has been notified to everyone, now to select candidates, starting with the Cuihai City Union Tower." Erwin said calmly, "Although I am the acting governor, I do not participate in the competition, and I elected Duke to be the chief governor of the United Tower in Cuihai City." ”

The Twin Sages, the Ring of Imprint, unlocks the will of the stars...... A series of achievements have added to Duke's prestige throughout the Seven Towers Federation.

As a direct result, all members of the meeting unanimously elected Duke as the chief consul of the United Tower.

Even Bernoulli had a serious face and elected Duke.

After all, the Black Jade family needs to take root in Cuihai City, and the most unavoidable thing in the future is Duke, and no matter what, he can't offend Duke on the bright side.

"Then the next is the chief director of the Element Tower of Cuihai City, I personally recommend Jovis Lynx to be the position, Jovis Lynx has many years of governing experience in the United Tower of Shenjiao City, and he is also an arcane master, and he has rich combat experience to be qualified for this position."

Erwin is still the first recommendation.

Keystone held his teacup and chimed in, "Second." ”

Williams also seconded the proposal, and Stephen Yihu, as the chief director of the Elemental Tower of Shenjiao City, said one more thing: "Jovis Lynx is extremely talented, and he is not very old, and he is very promising to be promoted to the 4th Ring Earth Arcane Mage in the future." ”

Duke smiled and said, "I second." ”

Bernoulli frowned and said indifferently: "I recommend De Riley Armor Rat, De Riley Armor Mouse is also very talented, the Armor Rat family has cultivated extremely deep in the elemental realm, and the entire Wind Breath Field's large and small pioneering wars have the presence of the Armor Rat family. ”

After speaking.

Bernoulli looked at Boyton Wind Snake, and in the whole meeting, he and Boyton Wind Snake belonged to outsiders.

Boyton Wind Snake stared down at his teacup and said lightly, "I second." ”

Bernoulli's brow furrowed even deeper.

"Next is the chief director of the Cuihai City Erudite Tower, and I nominate Boydon Wind Snake." Erwin quickly moved on to the next link.

Everyone still chose to second, Duke was no exception, and Bernoulli was no exception.

Then the election of the chief director of the tower will be observed, and Erwin will report the name that has been agreed on a long time ago: "Karius Flamingo." ”

Everyone seconded, as did Connecting Boyton Wind Snake.

Bernoulli was the only one with an ugly face, and he was determined to win this position, but now it was clear that the indigenous group, led by Keystone, had left him out.

He couldn't pull his face down to push himself.

He could only pinch his nose and put forward another candidate: "Bolis Black Jade, my son, has profound attainments in the field of imperial Gu, and there is an old man who paves the way for him, I believe that he will do better than Karius, the head of the building!" ”

"Burris Black Jade? If I'm not mistaken, he was Bernoulli's son in your early years, and he must be one hundred and forty or fifty years old now, right? Williams said softly, "It seems that there is not much time left before the 3-ring Olympic Master reaches the age of 180 years old." ”

"Humph!" Bernoulli gritted his teeth, "Wu'er has the talent to clear the fog of spiritual arcane. ”

"Then it's better to wait for him to get out of the way, and then we will choose him, why should Your Excellency be in such a hurry to elect?" Williams continued to arch the fire.

Bernoulli didn't bother to argue with him, and looked directly at Erwin: "I've already been promoted, hurry up and the next link." ”

Erwen said happily: "What's the hurry, you and I won't be able to die for a while." ”

"You!"

"Okay, don't make any noise, my ears hurt." Keystone waved his hand, "Hurry up, I'm still waiting to go back to see the Phantom movie, DreamWorks has released several good quality Phantoms recently, you remember to watch them." ”

He's doing himself a lot...... Granddaughter soliciting business.

Erwin didn't pester Bernoulli anymore, and said: "Next is the chief director of the Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City, and I nominate Penrose, who is not only the veteran ruler of the United Tower of Shenjiao City, but also the enlightenment mentor of Duke Sage, with sufficient qualifications." ”

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

When it was Bernoulli's turn, he immediately said: "I nominate Hout Warthog, the Warthog family is an old nobleman, and he himself is young and promising, and he is more suitable than Penrose." ”

After the words landed, Boyton Wind Snake suddenly squinted and said with a smile, "I seconded His Excellency Bernoulli's proposal. ”

Duke raised an eyebrow, but didn't care.

Even though Boyton Wind Snake clearly has the intention of turning against him, he is still a member of the old aristocracy of Runwu City, and has his own social circle.

The Wind Snake Family, the Warthog Family, and the Armored Rat Family migrated to Cuihai City together, and there must be a private involvement.

So far.

The Five Towers Meeting in Shenjiao City has already elected all the candidates, waiting to be reported to the Seven Towers Federation for a formal election.

However, individual applications will be accepted in the future, and candidates with sufficient qualifications will be reported to the Seven Towers Federation together, and the candidates nominated by the official will be put together to run. In the end, the final candidate was elected by voting through an enlarged meeting.

There is no grinding and chirping, and there is no assessment from superiors.

Five days later, in the large conference room of the United Tower of Cuihai City, all the Orcans who had the right to vote in the expanded meeting sat in the conference room.

The electors, on the other hand, sit in the outer room.

Duke was also sitting in the outer room, because the first round of the enlarged meeting would choose the chief consul of the United Tower, and he, as the elector, had to avoid the vote.

"Lord Duke, your vote is a circle formality, and it should be over soon." Karius Flamingo said with a smile.

He has the support of his local circle, and he is in high spirits at the moment, believing that he has a good chance of winning in the competition for the chief director of the observation tower.

"I can't say that, there's still pressure." Duke looked around at the electors and saw that there were quite a few self-registrations.

In addition to several 3-Ring Arcane mages who migrated from Runwu City, there are also several local 3-Ring Arcane mages, such as Elemental Tower Director Narnia, United Tower's external director Flor, and even Stephen Winged Tiger's nephew, Scott Winged Tiger.

Stephen Winged Tiger is vying for the position of Chief Governor of Faling Tower.

Everyone has their own ideas, especially at the level of the 3rd Ring Arc Mage, it is easy not to be shaken.

Even Stephen Yihu didn't understand why his nephew, who was immersed in the field of life all day long, and almost didn't ask about foreign affairs, suddenly came to compete for the chief director of the Faling Pagoda.

The minutes passed.

About a quarter of an hour later, a Grand Mystery Master walked out of the inner conference room, faced everyone, and said solemnly: "I am the messenger of the United Supreme Tower Enlargement Conference, Ravens, and I hereby announce the voting situation of this United Supreme Tower Enlargement Meeting regarding the election of the chief consul of the United Tower in Cuihai City. ”

Immediately the crowd sat down and listened to the results.

Ravens read aloud: "The number of voters is fifty-seven, and the actual votes are fifty-seven, and the number of voting rounds is one...... Duke received fifty-two votes, an absolute vote, and with the approval of the United Tower, he officially assumed the position of Chief Governor of Cuihai City. ”

Bang la blah.

The applause was thunderous, and everyone, willing or unwilling, applauded Duke.

This result is not surprising, if the title of Twin Sages, the 3rd Ring Arc Mage, and the inventor of the Ring of Branding can't even run for the chief consul of the small Cuihai City United Tower, it is estimated that the Observation Tower Investigation Team of the Seven Towers Federation should come down and be held accountable.

"Thank you, thank you." Duke got up, not too much surprise on his face.

Before he could make a speech, Ravens said in a deep voice, "The next round of enlarged meetings is about to begin, please go to the conference room to vote." ”

"Okay."

Duke followed Ravens into the inner lab.

Ravens's figure soon dispersed, but another messenger, Mosben Fire Goat, returned to preside over the enlarged meeting.

The meeting voted to elect the chief director of the Element Tower.

When the ballot paper was sent, Duke found that it was far from a simple matter of filling in his name, but also explaining the reasons for his choice.

"Jovis Bobcat, seniority and talent for this position, I have known Jovis Bobcat for many years and have a lot of trust in him...... I believe that Jovis Lynx's appointment as the chief director of the Elemental Tower will be of great help to my upcoming work on the United Tower. ”

Duke chose Jovis Lynx and took on the role of Chief Governor of the Union Tower, highlighting the benefits of working together.

Subsequently, the Mosben Fire Goat messenger took the votes of the crowd away.

Moments later, the Revens messenger came down and read out the results of the round: "...... Jovis Bobcats received twenty-one votes and De Riley Armor received twenty votes, both of which were less than half the vote...... A second round of voting was held, in which one of the two was chosen, and new reasons were articulated. ”

Duke thought for a moment.

"During Jovis Bobcat's tenure as acting chief governor, the Elemental Tower worked very well and is in line with my next strategic plan for Cuihai City," he wrote on the ballot. ”

Ballot papers are turned in.

Moments later, the Mosborne Fire Goat messenger came and read the results: "Jovis Bobcats received twenty-seven votes, and De Riley Squirrel received twenty-four votes, of which Jovis Bobcats had two bonus votes, and after an enlarged meeting ruled in favor of Jovis Bobcats." ”

Duke looked at each other with Keystone, Erwin, and the others and smiled.

I'm in a good mood.

Stopping De Riley Armor was the result he wanted.

This guy relied on his great-grandfather to be the 6th Ring Sky Arcane Mentor and the chief director of the Elemental Tower of Runwu City, and as soon as he came over, he snatched the Twin Springs, and did not take Duke who had already obtained the title of Erudite Sage at that time in his eyes.

This hatred, Duke kes firmly in his mind - even if he can't remember it, when he hears the name De Riley Armored Mouse, Xiaoyi will remind him.

Arguably.

Duke's grudges are either relieved or revenged, and there is no option to forget.

Next, a new enlarged meeting was voted on, and it was not too surprising that Boyton Wind Snake successfully won the position of Chief Director of the Erudite Tower, and Karius Flamingo narrowly won the position of Chief Director of the Observation Tower after three rounds of voting.

Although Bernoulli did not run, his son Burris Black Jade won the support of the old nobles of Runwu City.

Fortunately, at the enlarged meeting, Duke and Keystone, the two chief consuls, both had extra votes and held up Karius Flamingo to the end.

It was only at the last enlarged meeting that Penrose lost to Hout Warthog without any surprise, and only one round of voting was required.

"It's not just Runwu City, it's the side of the United Tower, and I don't want the Black Jiaohe Land to be all local forces." After the enlarged meeting, Keystone Futao put his hands behind his back and said, "Comfort and comfort your enlightenment mentor, go back to your east, and invite the new leadership team of Cuihai City to gather." ”

Duke, the first chief consul of the Cuihai City Union Tower, nodded: "I understand, I have already asked people to arrange a banquet." ”
