Bang!

The smoke of the spiritual composition slowly dispersed, and Duke blew into the muzzle of the sand eagle, then turned around handsomely and thrust it into the waistband of his pants.

The large-caliber armor-piercing bullet directly smashed a spirit beast a hundred meters away and directly smashed its entire head.

"Not to mention doubling the power, it has also increased by at least fifty percent." Duke walked around the forest and tested the power of the Sand Eagle 2.2 large-caliber version.

There is quite a feeling that the sand eagle is in hand, and I have the feeling of the world.

The existence of the sand eagle directly saved Duke too much time for the grinding of the arcane, and in order to increase a little combat power, most of the arcane wonders on the ring orbit of other arcane mages have built attack-type arcane wonders, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Only Duke can rely on the sand eagle to finish the job, and there are so many slots in the ring orbit that they can't be used up.

And the combat effectiveness can also be leapfrogged.

The combat power of other people's 3-ring arcane mages is only 3 rings, although Duke is also a 3-ring arcane mage, but now that the big arcane mage is in front of him, he may not be able to bargain too much - especially after the Yuan Energy armor and the arcane weapon armor are completed, and the defense can keep up, the gap will be further narrowed.

"Xiaoyi, establish a new process and develop the Sand Eagle 2.3 bullet chain version." Duke was pleased with the new instructions.

Originally, after developing a magazine, a magazine could be loaded with 30 rounds of normal bullets.

But now after the development of large-caliber bullets, a pair of bullet magazines can only be filled with 24 ordinary large-caliber bullets, a full six less.

It's a far cry from Duke's Gatling sand hawk vision.

So he simply developed a bullet chain, anyway, the sand eagle is a fantasy weapon, and the underlying logic is the rules of the spiritual arcane, which belongs to an arcane weapon, not a hot weapon. With the support of the underlying logic, you can use your imagination as much as possible.

"Okay master, new processes have been added for you."

Back at Duke Sage Mage Tower, the sun had just risen, Duke had a simple breakfast, and then took the shuttle to the United Tower of Cuihai City.

As the chief consul, he does not need to come to work every day, he can come back when something big happens, and a few ordinary consuls can share the daily affairs for him. It is said that in some cities, the chief consul of the Union Tower, he may not even be able to visit the Union Tower several times a year.

The authority of the chief consul does not come from the position itself, but from the chief consul himself.

For example, even if he stays in his mage tower for the rest of his life, the job of the chief consul is hollowed out by the consuls. If he wanted to, he could take back all power in an instant.

For no other reason, he is the only 5-ring ocean arcane mage in the Black Jiaohe River.

Strength is the criterion for testing the truth.

The same goes for Duke.

Although his strength is not outstanding among the arcane mages, the deterrent power brought by the title of double sage is no worse than that of a 5-ring sea arcane mage.

Because behind him, standing are the stars, who have been given supreme status by the Federation of the Seven Towers.

Whoever dares to disrespect a sage, then the stars will naturally teach him to be a man, and the rules passed down from generation to generation no one dares to break them.

Of course.

In fact, most of the sages are powerful arcane mages themselves. Academic achievement represents excellence in the knowledge of spiritual arcane, and the knowledge of spiritual arcane is itself the path of spiritual practice. The two complement each other.

"Good morning, Lord Chancellor."

"Good morning, sir."

"Good morning, Lord Chancellor."

Entering the Cuihai City Union Tower, the staff in the tower saluted Duke one after another, and sent Duke away in a respectful manner.

Take the ladder to the top office, where Duke will work in the future.

"Sir, the decoration here is good, but it's a little too plain." Mulali walked around the office and chattered, "Do you want us to mention it to the logistics department and let them redecorate it to suit your preferences, sir?" ”

"There's no need to waste it again." Duke waved his hand indifferently, "This is only an occasional meeting, and the Duke Sage Mage Tower is the permanent residence." ”

He pushed open the window and could overlook the entire Cuihai City.

New!

That was the first thing he felt.

The whole Cuihai City is brand-new, with new roads, new buildings, new communities, new greenery, new shuttles and cars.

"Whew, there are only 3 rings of tree kings - green banyan forest, and you can still vaguely see the old days." Duke quickly resonated with the green banyan forest, and then the entire inner city was basically under his surveillance, and all kinds of people appeared in a vague perception.

This is the ability of the 3-ring elf envoy.

"I don't know when I will be able to light up the stars corresponding to the green banyan forest...... If I had known that the Star Dream Realm was using the Tree King as the entrance and exit, I should have stopped the felling of the Ten Thousand Year Pine Tower. Duke thought of the other tree king with some regret.

Now the backbone of the Ten Thousand Year Pine Pagoda has become the backbone of the Duke Sage Mage Tower.

"However, it is difficult to say that once the large spring in Cuihai City is exploited and utilized, it will only meet the needs of a tree king...... Sooner or later, the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower will be cut down and become part of my Mage Tower, which can be regarded as making the best use of things. ”

Turn around.

He instructed: "Mulali, go and invite the two acting consuls to come to the office to discuss affairs." ”

"Yes sir."

"Mu Lashan, you go and inform the acting heads of each department, and the meeting will be held in the large conference room after ten o'clock."

"Yes, sir."

Moments later, the two acting consuls arrived at Duke's office, and until the chief consul was elected, all the consuls and directors could only act as deputies, and they needed to wait until Duke nodded and signed the relevant documents before they could officially take office.

"Lord Chancellor." The two saluted.

"Your Excellency Hamdi Snow Eagle and Your Excellency Josué, please be seated." Duke motioned for the two of them to sit down, and then said gently, "Both of you are my old acquaintances, and they also have a lot of experience in the work of the United Tower. ”

Hamdi Snow Eagle smiled and nodded, relieved: "Thank you, Lord Archon. ”

Speaking of which.

Duke and Hamdi Snow Eagle are really related.

When Duke had just been promoted to the rank of Arcane and went to Penrose Mage Tower to study, one of his classmates was named Roroa Snow Eagle, who was Hamdi Snow Eagle's nephew.

Roroa Snow Eagle's father joined the Snow Eagle family, so after Luo Luoya was promoted to the arcane mage, he was given the surname of the Snow Eagle family.

After the Divine Iniquity's Shedding of His Shell, Roroa Snow Eagle seems to have been forced to go to the City of Moisturizing Things, where he still studies in a mage tower. No one paid attention to him anymore, not even Duke, who was not very familiar with each other in the first place.

After solving Hamdi Snow Eagle's conversion, Duke looked at Josue again: "Don't you really plan to stay and be in power?" ”

"I'm sorry, Master Duke." Josue said politely, "I was reluctant to come to act as an agent, but it was Lord Keyton's repeated orders that I reluctantly agreed. Now that you are the Chief Consul, and with the help of His Excellency Hamdi, there is no need for me to do any more. ”

He prefers to stay in the Mage Tower and study academics.

"Well, in that case, I won't force it." Duke agreed to the other party's resignation, and he himself did not intend to be stationed in the Union Tower.

If the subordinates are also absent-minded, the work of the United Tower will definitely suffer.

Therefore, it is still necessary to find an obsessed mage to take on the position of consul and share the workload of Duke.

Originally, he liked Penrose, but he was too embarrassed to let Penrose be relegated, so he had to give up.

After a pause, Duke asked, "I don't know many people, I don't know if the two of you have any good candidates for government to recommend to me?" ”

Hamdi Snow Eagle is not familiar with Duke yet, and he doesn't know if Duke really intends to inquire or if he wants to get to the bottom of himself.

So he was silent, just shaking his head.

Josue had already planned to leave, so he didn't care if Duke was serious about asking, and replied, "There is indeed a good candidate." ”

"Please."

"Lord Frul." "His Excellency Frul has served as the United Tower of Shenjiao City, and he is also a master of the 3rd Ring of the Rings, and he is in the prime of life, and he should be able to do the work of governing. ”

"Hmm!" Duke nodded, he remembered that this Frul had taken over the class of the teacher Suktara, and was currently serving as the internal director of the Shenjiao City United Tower, "Before, Lord Frul seemed to have run for the position of chief director of the Erudite Tower. ”

Of course, he didn't get elected, and he didn't even get a few votes.

However, it can also be seen that Frul still has some ambitions and wants to make a career in the five towers of Cuihai City.

Therefore, after Duke weighed it, he immediately sent an official letter to Frul, formally inviting him to come to the Union Tower as the reinsul.

Frul did not hesitate and immediately readily agreed.

At this point, the governing framework of the United Tower in Cuihai City has been determined, and in the next few days, Duke has inspected the department heads one by one and turned them into regulars, formally determining the order in this tower, and beginning a smooth transfer of power.

Previously, most of the work in Cuihai City was managed by Shenjiao City, but now, it is taken over by the Union Tower, where Duke is located, one by one.

Large meeting room.

The Five Towers Meeting of Cuihai City was held for the first time, which was different from the Ten Towers Meeting of Heijiaohedi, which was a local meeting of Cuihai City.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that after this period of busyness, you have sorted out the work in hand." Duke sat down at the round table of the conference, and deliberately grew a circle of beard, looking more mature and steady.

There are teacups on the table, and it is very fashionable for old cadres to hold meetings.

"Today, I don't want to discuss too much fake big empty content, what is the development direction of Cuihai City, what is the people's education, spiritual arcane cultivation and other topics, I will focus on one." Duke looked at the crowd, "The population of Cuihai City!" ”

It has been a year and a half since the city was founded, and the current population of Cuihai City is only about 400,000.

Compared with the population of nearly four million in Shenjiao City, it is ten times worse.

Most of them were relocated from the towns of Heijiaohedi, as well as several surrounding regions and Runwu City.

Fewer than 30,000 people have emigrated from other places.

"The new construction of Cuihai City is full of opportunities, but opportunities are often accompanied by dangers, so people from other places have the heart to come, but they dare not come." After Duke finished speaking, he began to ask, "Do you have any good ideas on this point?" ”

Boyton Wind Snake said: "The population issue is indeed a top priority, the chief government, maybe we can increase the investment in immigration advertising." Recently, fantasy films have become popular all over the world, and we can shoot some fantasy films about Cuihai City and release them to the public. ”

Phantoms are indeed popular, and when Duke is cultivating now, he can obtain a large amount of spiritual feedback from the Seven Towers Federation and even the people outside the country every day.

Let him practice speed, a thousand miles a day.

But phantom is only a kind of spiritual life after all, and it belongs to a carrier, more and more film and television companies are rising, shooting all kinds of phantoms, which has made Cuihai City's first-mover advantage less obvious.

The creation of an entertainment city has finally lost some of its key attractions.

After all.

You can't let Duke be a copyist and reproduce classic movies on the planet all day long to attract talent and expand the film and television industry.

Several other chief directors also put forward their own suggestions.

But Duke is not very satisfied, and always feels that when it comes to attracting immigrants, everyone's thinking is too conservative.

In the end, Duke himself proposed: "I think it should be divided into two steps, one is to promote Cuihai City, as many people as possible to attract people to Cuihai City to travel, start a business, and settle down, and the other step is to build the city's security and civilization to retain people's hearts!" ”

A city is basically an independent city-state, so Duke can do his best to display his talents in Cuihai City.

He continued, "We need to increase the participation of ordinary people in the construction of the city, not just the monks of the three seas. At the same time, it is necessary to establish a sound system of rules and regulations as much as possible to restrain all kinds of uncivilized phenomena and ensure the healthy growth of the city. ”

After a pause, he said: "Finally, we have to take the initiative to maximize preferential policies to attract talents...... My idea is to cooperate with the mercenary group and let them go to major cities to pull people, and we will pay for the round-trip expenses. ”

Plan to finish.

After discussing a few words with each other, Boyton Wind Snake couldn't help but ask, "Chief Consul, is this a little too eager?" ”

The life span of the arcane mage is one or two hundred years.

There is no need to make any achievements in a short period of time, and there is no need for political achievements to maintain one's position.

Utilitarianism, or aggressiveness, is usually not strong.

Duke said in a deep voice: "The times are developing and progressing, and it is no longer a reckless era when our ancestors are moving forward, but an era of soaring next...... We must be ready for everything before the time comes. ”

Then, he said, "Next, I will launch a policy to encourage childbirth, and establish a Sanhai pharmacy industry in the city, as well as free medicine collection for all, to ensure that people can take it safely, and give everyone the opportunity to cultivate." ”

"Hiss......" Haute Warthog gasped.

The others were also deep in thought, or looked at each other, and did not respond eagerly to Duke's move at the first time.

Open cultivation for all, this is something that the Seven Towers Federation has been going on, but not every arcane mage supports it. The resources seem to be endless, but for the arcane mage, every more person is more competition, and less of the superiority of identity.

A moment later.

Jovis Lynx said, "My lord, the opportunity has long been open to civilians, whether they can seize it is their business, why do we want to promote this?" ”

As long as civilians are willing to spend money, they can always buy gas potions, blood boiling potions, and awakening potions.

"But it's not enough!" "The risk of the Sanhai Potion has discouraged a large part of the population. Many people generally believe that only when it is opened naturally can it be possible to cultivate to the top level, and the potential is very limited when drugs are opened, which further increases the concerns of the people. ”

Seeing that his own persuasiveness does not seem to be very sufficient.

Duke simply pulled a banner and said, "I shouldn't have told you, but I'm going to tell you anyway." ”

All eyes looked at Duke.

Duke said indifferently: "On that day in the Holy City of Ofa, I opened the will of the stars and received some revelations about the future. ”

Ooh!

Several chief directors and governors changed their colors one after another, pricking up their ears, for fear of missing a word.

"I can't reveal much because the stars have sealed off most of the content, but I can tell you that the future will be a time of great development. Like the wheels of a black beetle car, it rolls forward, crushing everything. ”

As he spoke, he looked at everyone in the audience in turn: "And we are in the midst of such a change in the times. Whether the waves sweep the sand and fall with the mud and sand, or whether the tide recedes and the gold shines, it depends on your choice. ”

Immediately you look at me, and I look at you.

I feel like I've heard it, but I don't feel like I've heard it.

I don't know what Duke has leaked, and what kind of revelation has been given by the will of the stars.

But looking at Duke's "you earned it" look, they seemed to feel that they had really understood a lot of things, which were worth savoring.

"All in all, the future will be a development frenzy with the participation of the whole people, and our Seven Towers Federation will also follow the trend of the times, step out of the corner of the barren continent, and embark on a bigger and broader world." Duke summed it up.

Karius Flamingo wiped the sweat from his head and couldn't help but say, "My lord, is the Wild Continent also considered a horn? ”

He said with some disapproval: "The north is a very cold place, and the east, south and west are surrounded by the sea. At present, the mainstream theory is that only the west and north directions of our Seven Towers Federation, and the south of the Golden Empire, can continue to develop the land. ”

Duke raised an eyebrow.

This is indeed the case in the academic community.

The spiritual springs that can be found have basically been found, and the eighteen countries have already covered most of the regions of the Barren Continent.

To the east, in the direction of human migration, is the vast East China Sea, and in the distance there is only the legendary island of the source of knights.

To the south, the southernmost Rainstorm Empire has explored the boundless Great South China Sea. The southern part of the Golden Empire next door, although there are still some areas that have not yet been explored, it is speculated that it should also be close to the Great South China Sea, sooner or later.

To the west, there is the endless sea.

There is no land except for scattered islands, and when the exploration of these islands is over and it is determined that there is no longer any hope of land, it will be officially named the Great Western Sea.

To the north, except for the Ice and Snow Kingdom, most of the area is frozen all year round, and it is so cold that the Arcane Mage cannot gain a foothold and cannot explore.

Moreover, under the solid ice, there were arcane mages who dug down and dug all the way to the dark deep sea, so most of the arcane mages recognized that there was also a big northern sea in the north, but it was frozen in ice.

In other words, this planet is a vast star.

Only the small piece of land of the Barren Continent is suspended in the endless ocean, lonely and multiplying.

There is even a saying that the Reckless Continent is located on one side of the planet, surrounded by sea water, and the other layer of the planet directly opposite the Rebarren Continent is the Knight Source Island of Human Origin, an island that is far smaller than the Reckless Continent countless times smaller.

The source of knights could not accommodate the reproduction of humans, so there was a great voyage migration in ancient times, and finally found the reckless continent.

Many arcane mages are convinced of this.

But Duke didn't believe it, he looked at Karius, and said seriously: "Far more than that, the Wild Continent is almost boundless, of course, how big it is, I can't answer, but the will of the stars tells me, it's big, big, unimaginably big!" ”

Can it not be big.

Every time he enters the Dream of the Stars, Duke can light up dozens of stars, but so far, he has found the King of Snowshirts, a king of trees, distributed in human territory.

With such a probability, it really can't be said that human beings have reclaimed most of the area of the Barren Continent.

Or the Wild Continent is very large, or beyond the Endless Sea, there are new continents, in short, the land area of the Wild World is absolutely unimaginable.

"Is it really that big?"

"It's huge!"

Boyton Wind Snake pondered for a moment and nodded in response, "I believe in the Chief Consul, and I'm glad that we humans still have more habitats to open up. Enlightened by the will of the stars, you will be able to lead us to develop Cuihai City towards a better tomorrow. ”

In any case, at the first meeting of the Five Towers, Duke's will was carried out.

With several other members of the Five Towers Conference, there was also a certain run-in and communication of each other's ideas and ideas.

Cuihai City is on the right track, and the construction has not stopped, but has become more enthusiastic.

All summer.

Duke is busy at his work at the Union Tower in Cuihai City.

While continuing to study and cultivate, there are no interruptions in the morning and evening classes every day, and none of the initiates from the three seas are broken; On the one hand, it adapts to the identity of the chief executive and formulates various development policies and strategies in Cuihai City.

Before you know it, it's early autumn in September.

The autumn tigers were still raging, but there was already a hint of coolness in the morning, and after enjoying a breakfast, Duke left his tower.

Take a shuttle ride from halfway up the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

Instead of following the road towards the city, they stopped at a gate at the foot of the mountain, where a large crowd had gathered.

Wait until the shuttle pulls the car door.

A group of mages, knights, and spirit plant envoys led by Suktara immediately applauded and greeted Duke's arrival.

Waving to the crowd, Duke was used to the scene.

As the chief consul of the United Tower of Cuihai City, the leader of the entire city, it can be said that everything in the city revolves around him.

When he is promoted to the stars, there will be a bigger scene waiting for him.

"Duke, congratulations, Samhai University of Lingya Mountain will be the first professional higher education institution in the world." Sukhtara smiled and hugged Duke, looking at his successor, his achievements getting bigger and bigger, and his heart was full of joy.

Duke also responded with a smile: "Teacher, as the first president of Sanhai University in Lingya Mountain, you will also go down in history. ”

Today marks the official opening ceremony of the first university that Duke is preparing for.

Previously, in Sukhtara Mage Tower, there had been a classification of primary, secondary, and university schools, but it was not independent from the Mage Tower.

Samhai University is the first university that was actually built.

Named Sanhai University, it is actually a comprehensive institution that teaches the spiritual knowledge of the spiritual sea, the blood sea, and the qi sea, and also has a variety of cultural courses to cultivate professionals from all walks of life and industries.

There are more and more people.

All kinds of shuttles, fish are pouring in.

Most of the guests didn't need to be received by Duke, his status was too noble, so he only had to sit in the school auditorium and wait.

A group of arcane mages surrounded him, looking for an opportunity to talk to him.

At this time, a familiar arcane mage walked over to him, came to Duke in front of him, and bowed: "Lord Duke, congratulations on the establishment of Lingya Mountain Sanhai University. ”

The person who came was none other than someone else.

It was none other than Delaily Armor, who had a disagreement with Duke.

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, since the other party came to congratulate him sincerely, he won't ignore it, but he really has nothing to say to the other party.

He saw a young man with the other party and asked, "This is Ling Lang, the bell rang for him a few days ago, right?" ”

The young man immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Deron Armored Rat, meet Lord Duke!" ”

"Yes, young and promising, there is hope for the future of Cuihai City." Duke smiled.

In fact, Deron Armored Rat is already twenty years old, only two years younger than Duke, and his talent is not outstanding, and the future of Cuihai City is definitely not in him.

After all.

He is probably just an ordinary arcane mage in this life, and his lifespan is limited, so he is destined not to survive Duke, so how can he bear the future of Cuihai City.

After greeting De Riley, De Riley Armored Rat bowed down and took Deron Armored Rat with him to find a seat.

At the beginning of the month, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass~
