The establishment of optical communication technology has allowed Duke to devote himself to the research of ring replication materials.

The news of this experiment did not last long, and soon spread in the industry.

After all, even Keystone Fury participated in the experiment himself, and let Duke study it like a guinea pig, and the movement was not big enough.

However, Duke didn't care about the leak.

Ring replication materials are not a new topic, Suktara alone has been studying for hundreds of years, it can be said that in the entire circle of arcane mages in Shenjiao City, there is no one who does not know the subject of ring replication materials, but no one follows the trend to study.

Even the Great Arcane Mages can't study the reason, how can ordinary Arcane Mages study it, that is, Suktara is too obsessed with it, so he will be entangled in the direction of the ring copying material.

Even the student she brought with her at the beginning, the 2-ring arcane mage Sorel, changed direction and studied the life box.

It can be seen that most arcane mages do not think that this is a direction that can be studied to find out.

"Can Lord Duke figure it out?" Joanna Lynx asked a circle of Arcane friends at her academic salon.

This academic salon is rather shabby, with only 1 and 2 Huanao mages participating.

Of course, the organizer, Joanna Lynx, is a 1-ring arcanist who takes the arcane route, so it doesn't matter if she is professional in academia or not.

Chat gossip is more than academic exchanges.

"It's not clear, how to say the direction of ring replication materials, it's really a bit unpopular." 2. Ring of the Olympic Master Carlos said.

"But I think it's possible, inexplicably, I have full confidence in Lord Duke." 1 Ring-Master Margot said that she was a woman, and said with nostalgia, "I remember that it was here that Lord Duke also attended Joanna's salon. ”

"Unfortunately, the facts have changed now." Carlos was equally emotional.

Joanna Lynx said: "Actually, it didn't take a long time, that is, five or six years ago. ”

"It's not a long time, but it feels like a long time has passed," Margot said...... It's really that Lord Duke's promotion speed is too fast, in just a few years, he is already a big man like a high-level arcane mage, it's incredible! ”

As she spoke, she looked at the people in the salon again, and said with emotion: "On the contrary, it seems that we have been standing still for the past few years. ”

"It's also something that can't be helped." A young arcane mage shrugged his shoulders, "Even if you are promoted from 1 ring to 2 rings, it is difficult to do it without more than ten years, let alone 2 rings to 3 rings promotion. It's not that we're too mediocre and standing still, it's really that Master Duke is too talented. ”

"It's tiring to be a genius, so my advice is that we should think less." Another arcane mage said.

Although everyone knows that it cannot be compared with Duke.

Comparing it will only hit the self-confidence of others such as yourself.

But the topic is inseparable from Duke, even if the previous salon has talked about the topic of Duke I don't know how many times.

"Joanna, can you still see Master Duke often?" A female arcane mage suddenly thought, "If we can invite Master Duke to our salon, then our salon will become famous in the entire Black Jiaohe region." ”

Joanna rolled her eyes: "Don't think about it, okay, what can we talk about in our salon, let Master Duke come over and talk about gossip?" ”

She's pretty self-aware.

However, there was no trace of inexplicable taste in my heart, remembering that when I first met Duke, the two were still on an equal footing.

Or more accurately, Joanna is in the driver's seat, she's the owner of the salon, and Duke is just a somewhat eye-catching genius newcomer, who doesn't talk much at a time, and basically sits quietly in the corner of the couch and listens to what others are talking about.

At that time, she didn't have a certain good impression of Duke, after all, she was born in a lynx family, and if she didn't want to go to other cities to marry in the future, the best way was to find a good local husband.

Duke fits her criteria for a mate.

However, with Duke's rocket-like cultivation speed, and Duke's quick and fiery fight with Kiria Fury, she gradually extinguished this thought.

Just as she knows exactly what level of salon she runs, she also knows what her identity looks like.

Not worthy of Duke anymore.

Now, he doesn't even have the courage to treat Duke as a friend.

Sometimes she can see Duke behind her father, Jovis Bobcat, but she always feels unconsciously restrained, even if Duke still speaks as gently as usual, but always feels like she has seen a big man like Keystone Fury.

This is not only the aura exuded by the 3-ring arc mage, but also the pressure brought by the aura gathered on Duke's body.

"The distance between me and him is really getting farther and farther away!" Joanna is not a person who likes to be sad, but when it comes to Duke, she always gets into sadness from time to time.

I'm thinking about things.

Suddenly, he was pulled back to reality by the fierce words of a young arcane mage.

I only heard the young arcane mage say, "I don't mean to dismiss Lord Duke, but looking at Lord Duke's great inventions, the practical value always outweighs the technical content. Strong light technology, film and television technology, and optical storage technology are almost all inspired by slide cards. ”

He continued to scold Fang Xuan and said: "It is the ring of imprint that is now shaking the world, and it is just an ordinary means to talk about it in detail, and it can be broken with a little inspiration. He is a new arcane mage, and he can understand the mystery. ”

After hearing this, Carlos disagreed: "No, no, no, strong light technology and the like, I don't deny that the technology is not very golden, more inspiration, but the ring of imprints is definitely a great masterpiece that can be invented by great wisdom." ”

"What's the value of this technology?"

"The gold content is on the ring of the gap, since ancient times, there has not been an arcane mage, the ring that has never been formed has been studied, but the ring of the brand is to rely on the ring of the gap to solve the problem of replication, this is simply a stroke of genius, if it is not for spiritual favor, who can unlock it?"

"It's really a stroke of genius, and it's really spiritual, but it's just that the research ideas are relatively novel, and it's not technically difficult, right?"

"Whether the technique is difficult or not depends on how many times you try, especially in the ring research of the gap, I don't know how many times Master Duke has tried to find the right idea, which is difficult, how can you guess?" Carlos argued loudly, "Even if it is not difficult to make cards, but if it wasn't for the sage of Icicy to invent the spirit card, who can invent it?" ”

Ijik is one of the ancient sages enshrined in the Valhalla Temple, and his greatest achievement is the invention of the spirit card, which pioneered the field of card making.

"At the end of the day, these techniques are simple." The young arcane mage spreads his hands.

Carlos snorted: "You 1 Ring Arcane Master is a master with a high eye, a few years ago when I talked and laughed with Lord Duke, I knew that Lord Duke is definitely a person of great wisdom, and the most loving and wise person in spirit, if it is really only Lord Duke, who leads the coquettishness for a while!" ”

The young mage was speechless for a moment.

Who made Carlos on the other side of the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage, qualified to rely on the old and sell the old.

Seeing that he had subdued the young Arcane Mage, Carloston smiled contentedly, after all, Jiang was still old and spicy.

Then he said loudly: "Many of you have never seen Lord Duke, so I really don't know Lord Duke's demeanor. When I talked and laughed with Master Duke, I was always shocked by Lord Duke's thinking, and now that I think about it, it is really deafening! ”

Margot, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, was a little dazed, saying that she was also in the salon back then, and it seemed that she had never seen Duke talk so much.

Joanna rolled her eyes, knowing that Carlos was bragging, but she didn't debunk the other party, after all, getting to know Duke was not an important conversation point in her life.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to talk about Duke every time she held a salon.

"But." The young man who should have been subdued by Carlos was actually not very convinced, and said with his head held high and pretended to be relaxed, "I'm still not optimistic about Lord Duke's research this time, I've heard a lot of ring copy materials, and the difficulty is too great, and it is not easy to solve." ”

When Carlos heard this, his face was a little unsightly, and he snorted coldly: "Since you think so, then wait and see!" ”

Joanna's salon is about the epitome of the rumors on the market.

Some people are optimistic about Duke's fanfare about the replication of the ring, and some people are not, but none of them affect Duke in the slightest.

He still keeps his rhythm.

Every once in a while, I went to the United Tower in Cuihai City to deal with government affairs, and most of the rest of the time was spent in the laboratory, studying the ring replication materials.

Of course, his life doesn't revolve around work either.

I often find time to go on dates, see apparitions, or go on adventure hunting in the surrounding forests, and sometimes take an airship to visit the entire Heijiao River Land aimlessly.

Just before the end of the year, he purchased three airships from Runwu City at one time.

Sprayed with "Duke Sage Mage Tower-Phantom", "...... Slide Signal", ...... The words "Mirage" for the Arcane Master in the Mage's Tower.

As for the battleship, it needs to be custom-made, and Duke did not consider it for the time being.

"The data you have collected is much more detailed and solid than the data that I have collected over the years." Sukhtara left the laboratory with Duke after a spiritual material refining experiment, "Teacher, I need time to re-understand this data. ”

"Teacher who is not in a hurry, you only need to grasp a general direction, and the rest of the work can be arranged by Leovis."

Duke replied.

He handed over part of the experiments arranged by Xiaoyi to Suktara, which was not important, mainly related to the verification of a batch of spiritual materials.

Sukhtara has many years of experience in the study of ring-replicating materials, and it is not difficult to conduct such experiments.

"It's okay, Leovis is still very down-to-earth, but it's time for the Mage Tower to recruit a few more 2-ring mages."

"Most of the 2-ring mages have a stable career, and they still need patience in recruitment."

"It's a pity for Sorel......" Sukhtara sighed.

Things are changeable, and in order to support Duke in the past, she quickly cut through the mess and directly drove away Sorel, a student who had followed her for many years.

Now I miss Sorel a little bit again, anyway, Sorel is a student she has cultivated. Even if Sorel changed the life field, he still has a deep knowledge in the field of alchemy, and he is a qualified helper.

Duke didn't care, he hadn't met Sorrell a few times, and he was used to doing experiments on his own.

There is Xiaoyi, which is better than tens of millions of people.

After bidding farewell to Sukhtara, he turned around the Lingya Mountain, where the castle was still under construction and was not yet completed.

However, the prototype of a garden castle has already begun to appear, full of green plants and flowers, and the air is filled with the unique fragrance of plants.

This environment Duke likes the most.

Without him, when Xiaoyi hangs up the breathing method, he can rely on these plants to control the overall situation and monitor any dead end.

The captain of the Guard Knights, the 2-Ring Phantom Beast Knight-Herdos, followed closely behind Duke with several 1-Ring Great Knights.

It is said to be an escort, but in fact it is an entourage.

At Duke's level, although there is no need for knights to protect safety, the pomp and circumstance that should be there cannot be lost, and an entourage is also needed to take care of chores.

Unconsciously walked down Lingya Mountain and walked to the Lingchi Farm at the foot of the mountain.

James is now teaching at Sanhai University in Lingya Mountain, and most of the time in charge of Lingchi Farm is in charge of other people, and among these leaders, Duke has met an acquaintance.

"Sally."

"Your Excellency." Sally, who serves as the general manager of Lingchi Farm, is already a middle-aged woman.

Her two children, Shafu and Shawa, are also teenagers, and it was the winter vacation, and the two children followed their mother to learn management knowledge, and when they saw Duke, they immediately bowed deeply.

Seeing Sally, Duke remembered his time in Serpent's Head Town.

At that time, he had just taken over the Little Samshoka shop, recruited Sally to the front desk, and later transferred to Little Duke Farm, where Sally followed and has remained until now.

It can be said that he is Duke's henchman.

It's just that Sally is an ordinary person, plus her talent is not in housekeeping, so she has been working at Lingchi Farm.

"Aren't Shav and Sava getting old enough to start the Three Seas?" Duke asked.

Sally quickly replied: "Thank you for your concern, next spring Shaff and Sava will be fifteen years old, and they have already contacted the practice station of the 'Three Seas High School', and when the time comes, they will go to the practice station to take medicine to open the three seas...... It's a pity that it didn't turn on naturally. ”

"As long as you can take medicine and turn it on, you will have the opportunity to cultivate." Duke said gently, "Didn't I also take drugs to open the three seas?" ”

"My lord, you have spiritual care, as long as Shafu and Shawa can open any sea, I will be satisfied."

After chatting with Sally, Duke asked, "Where's Levine, isn't he on the farm?" ”

Levin was bored in the Mage's Tower, and Duke let him come to the farm to help Sally, and he always took good care of his friends at the end of his life.

Sally smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you don't know yet, Director Zina introduced a person to Levin, it seems that a niece from Director Zina's hometown came to join Director Zina." I don't know what's wrong, but Levine is in eye with the girl. ”

"Oh, Levine has a partner?" Duke was surprised, he really didn't know.

Zina was the leader of the Broken Sword Mercenary Group in the past, and now that Duke is in a high position, he naturally wants to benefit his relatives and friends, so he promoted Zina to the mercenary mission center under the Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City as the center director.

"It is estimated that before the official relationship was confirmed, Director Zina didn't dare to mention it to you, after all, you care about Levin the most."

"It's a good thing, if there's anything you can't mention, I'll have to ask Levine when I get back." Duke was really happy for Levin.

Of course, he still has to keep a good deal for Levin.

Levine is a bit silly and has never experienced personnel, in case he meets a bad woman...... However, with the caution of Director Zina, her niece should be a woman of good character.

Suddenly hearing that Levine was in love, Duke was really a little emotional, but soon he thought of another person: "Aunt Abi, have you seen her recently?" ”

"I've seen it, I just went back to Snake Head Town half a month ago and went to the Black Snake Manor as a guest. Aunt Abi's children all work in the Black Snake Manor, and she follows her with her grandson, well, the Black Snake family takes care of Aunt Abi's family very much. ”

"That's good." Duke smiled, a little nostalgic for Aunt Abbey's cooking.

said.

Duke suddenly said again: "The New Year is coming, Sally, I am going to hold a small banquet in the castle, and invite some old friends who know each other from Serpent's Head Town, you go to find Butler Morris and arrange it with him." ”

"Okay, I'll go back and go to Butler Morris." Sally replied that she knew almost everyone Duke knew in Serpent's Head Town.

After giving the order, Duke shook his head and left the Spirit Pond Farm.

Inside the portal of the Twisted Ring, his heart is hidden, ensuring that he does not get lost in the path of spiritual arcane. But the more than a year in Snakehead Town is not another distorted ring, guarding the bits and pieces of his heart.

……

Nothing interesting happened during the New Year's Festival.

I had a feast with my old friends at the end of the day, and there was no imaginary warm scene, and many people didn't even dare to breathe in front of Duke.

Sally and Levine, because they often see Duke, can still remain calm, and the others don't dare to touch the bench when they are really sitting.

A 1-ring arcane mage, in their eyes, is already an absolute big man.

And Duke is not only the 3rd Ring Arcane Mage, but also the chief consul of the United Tower of Cuihai City, the second-in-command of the entire Black Jiaohe Land, which is too powerful for these ordinary people to be calm.

So after hastily eating the feast, the men gave them the little gifts they had prepared, and Duke sent them away.

The New Year is over.

Duke was a year older, twenty-three.

One after another, the mage came to visit him in Lingya Mountain, and he only visited Keystone Furytao, of course, he couldn't say whether he was visiting Keystone Fury or dating Kiria Fury, in short, he had a good time.

"Happy New Year, Mentor, and it's nice to see you again." The brothers and sisters Brock and Ibuprofen rushed back to the Mage Tower on the third day after the New Year's Festival.

Duke didn't teach them much, and Leovis taught them on his behalf, just as Duke had been taught by Vikas when he was at Penrose's Tower.

"Happy New Year." Duke said with a smile, "You've been studying in the Mage Tower for half a year, and your own meditation methods have been secured, and the Arcane Wonders have begun to be built. Next, I will ask Associate Professor Leovis to arrange some research topics for you. ”

Ibuprofen happily said, "Great, mentor, we can finally participate in the experiment." ”

"With dim sum, I'll check on your research group from time to time."

"Please rest assured."

The two siblings promised again and again.

On the fifth day, Deron Armored Rat also rushed back, he rushed back from Runwu City, after all, the main branch of the Armored Rat family was in Runwu City.

Duke also gave DeLong a few words of encouragement.

He didn't look down on De Riley Armor Rat, and directly blocked De Riley's hope of becoming the chief consul of the Elemental Tower, but he felt good about De Riley's son Delon.

This is a hard-working and knowledgeable young man.

I have to say that aristocratic families may teach some gentlemen, but they can also teach elite disciples.

The trivial matters of the Mage Tower did not occupy much of Duke's energy, and while he resumed his normal work after the New Year's Festival, he also resumed the experiments that he had stopped a year ago.

Mr. Sukhtara led the team to do various miscellaneous experiments, and he himself tackled the core problem of replicating materials.

"In order for the replication ring to be accurately projected in the spiritual sea and condense the clones, it is necessary to clear the fog of the spiritual arcane, otherwise it will not be possible to cast the projection ring at all...... So how do I solve the problem of projection positioning of the 3-ring mage? ”

The Ring of Projection is based on the Great Oku Mage, a projection of the true spiritual sea, which is a special mapping state.

Xiaoyi has collected enough data from the Ring of Projection, and is gradually analyzing and studying this data to decipher the mystery of the Ring of Projection.

But Xiaoyi is only artificial intelligence after all, not human intelligence.

It doesn't have a sparkle for puzzle solving.

This flash needs to be found by Duke: "Man and the spiritual sea, the replication ring and the real spiritual sea, this should correspond to the points on the four quadrants, just like (1,1), (1,-1), (-1,-1), (-1,-1), (-1,1), and (-1,1) on the coordinate axis, and it is necessary to find out their relationship and find a solution." ”

"Or use yin and yang to explain, the real people and things are yang, and the invisible spiritual sea is yin, then the spiritual sea of people is the yin of yang, and the replication ring is the yang of yin, how to realize the conversion between yin and yang, there must be a trick."

Duke meditated.

But the answer has not been found for a long time.

Sukhtara persuaded for this: "You and I are both 3-ring arcane mages, and we have never cleared the fog of spiritual arcane, perhaps this is why you can't start...... Maybe you will be able to solve it when you are promoted to the real arcane mage. ”

She was a little emotional, and there was no lack of regret in her tone, but she didn't force Duke to conquer the ring copy material.

This is her obsession, but the obsession is not to solve the problem, but to solve the problem itself.

Someone inherits what she has learned and studies her direction, which is to help her solve her obsessions, so she will persuade Duke.

"Teacher, don't worry, I don't know how to drill the horns, if I really can't think of an answer, I'll wait until I am promoted to the Great Arcane Mage." "I just feel like there's just a layer of window paper between me and the answer." ”

Poke it and you'll get the perfect answer.

Therefore, Duke is not willing to relax for the time being, and when spring turns to autumn, he is still looking for a flash of inspiration to break the game, and from time to time he asks Elwin, Keystone Fury, and even Boyton Wind Snake and other great mages to cast the projection ring for him to study.

The fog of spiritual arcane, he already knows very well.

There is a layer of fog barrier between the ordinary arcane mage and the great arcane mage, blocking the arcane mage's observation of spiritual power.

If ordinary arcane mages can't see the power of spirituality and can only perceive it, then in the eyes of great arcane mages, spirituality has a wonderful trajectory, which is displayed in the field of vision all the time.

It is a kind of rule embodiment that can only be seen by the Great Arcane Master, and belongs to the spiritual arcane.

To put it simply, the world that ordinary arcane mages see is a black and white photograph, while the world that arcane mages see is a color photograph.

As for the arcane teacher, the world that may be seen is color motion video.

"It's hard to describe this feeling, clearing the fog of spiritual arcane means a metamorphosis of life level, things that used to take a lot of energy to understand, now may only need to look at it, don't need to think about it, to understand its principle."

Erwin tried to describe how to clear the fog of spiritual arcane, but ultimately failed: "This feeling can only be understood but not expressed. ”

After a pause, he added: "All in all, the direction of circumferential copying materials is itself difficult, not because you don't study it well or understand it thoroughly, but because it itself may be limited by spiritual arcane law. ”

"I understand." Duke nodded.

The Grand Arcian can see certain rules at a glance, so when casting the Ring of Projection, he can accurately locate the Replica Ring and project it.

It's a natural way to do it, just as a baby can run and jump when it has a pair of legs and a strong body.

Instinct.

"So, don't be influenced by your teacher, I can't say that there is a dead end for copying materials, but the future is bleak." After Erwin finished speaking, he immediately changed the topic, "Soon the Offah Tower will be added with a new Chief Sage of the Offah Tower, Duke, you have great hopes this time!" ”
