"Remino, I've had enough of the dark, damp basement, and the stench from the experiment is about to blind my eyes!"

"What can be done, my Abbots, Your Majesty has ordered the abolition of all Arcane Societies, forbidding the Arcane to seek the truth, and even denigrating us as wizards." In the dimly lit basement, a little ghost light shone on a young man's face, full of helplessness.

"It's only temporary, Your Majesty is only deceived by those noble knights, so he will stop us from exploring the truth, and we will definitely be able to wait until the day when the seal is lifted." The glow shone on the face of the other young man, revealing a slightly mediocre facial features.

Young Abbots was cleaning an experimental table full of bottles and cans of experimental materials.

Remino cleaned up with him, shook his head again and said, "Don't think about it so much, it's not easy to have a basement for us to experiment...... Tsk, you've condensed the ring, and I'm just a bunch of energy lines! ”

"You'll be condensed too, I believe in your talent." After a word of comfort, Abbots raised his fist again and said excitedly, "We will never hide in the basement for the rest of our lives, secretly studying the operation of the arcane law, do you believe it!" ”

Remino rolled his eyes: "I just want to know what to eat at night." ”

Without the echo of his companion, Abbots put down his fist a little embarrassed, as if to say to his companion, and as if to encourage himself: "Sooner or later, I will build a tower overlooking the earth, and in the high sky, do experiments in the open!" ”

"Hey!" Remino continued to roll his eyes, "It's dark now, but it's not dark outside, don't dream so early, okay!" ”

"You don't believe me, Remino!" "It doesn't matter, one day you will see all this, there is no need for the Arcane to form a secret society, the Arcane can live in the tower, study the Arcane freely, and explore the truth!" ”

When the voice landed, the picture had blurred into a white light.

The previous image was nothing more than an apparition playing on the big screen, with several arcane mages sitting in the audience, commenting on it.

"The filming is good, and the two actors are also acting well."

"But it still feels like there's something missing, don't you think?"

"I feel this way too, and it seems to be out of the actors of the Sage of Abbots, a little ...... Well, it's a little too exciting. When I read "The Diary of Abbots", I felt that the sage of Abbots was not such an impassioned character. ”

"Yes, I also remembered when you said that, the sage of Abbots is a taciturn person, and only at the most critical moments, he will say one or two decisive words."

"Well, that's a problem with the script, and it has to be changed."

"Change, change." The leading Omage nodded and said, "'Sage Abbots' is a blockbuster documentary released by our Offata, and it must be perfect. The first one was well received, and the future sage documentaries can be better promoted. ”

Several arcane mages next to him all agreed with this.

After deciding to revise the script, the mages talked about some other trivial matters, and one of them suddenly said: "The sages can only remember, but the prophets are being promoted, do you think anyone can add the position of prophet this year?" ”

The chief sage of Offata is popularly known as the prophet.

"It's hard to say, but I think the Sage of Incosis should have a better chance, right?"

"I don't think so, the Sage of Incosis is the Sage of Life, and now that Offata already has five prophets in the field of life, if you add the Sage of Incosis, wouldn't there be six prophets of life?"

"yes." Someone chimed in, "The realm of life is certainly a large realm, but the five prophets are crowded enough, and it is unlikely that a sixth prophet of life will be added. ”

"And what about the Farren Silverfish Sage?"

"The qualifications are enough, but I don't think well of him, the reason is very simple, he doesn't have heavyweight results in the field of alchemy."

Another arcane mage smiled, "If you want to talk about heavyweight achievements, you still have to be Duke Sage." The illusion film you and I are discussing here was invented by Duke Sage. Last year, Lord Sel'thas and Lord Lambert had said they would nominate him. ”

"Hey, that's really possible."

"No, how old is Duke Sage, twenty-two? Oh, last year it was twenty-two, and this year it's twenty-three. But Twenty-Three is too small, how many people Twenty-Three haven't been promoted to Arcane Master, so they won't add him as a prophet, right? ”

"But the technology of the Ring of Imprints is really shocking, in the past year or so, the fields of puppets, contracts, card making, formations, etc., have almost all undergone earth-shaking changes because of the invention of the Ring of Brands!"

"Let me tell you the most intuitive feeling, in the past, if the spirit card at home was broken, it would be repaired, but now there is no need to repair it at all. The cost of re-branding a new card is even lower than the cost of repairing one...... Benefit the whole society! ”

"Spiritual apprentices, guarding a spirit card branding instrument can earn enough cultivation resources. The contribution of the Duke Sage to the spiritual arcane is vast and far-reaching. ”

"It's not much more than that, recently I heard that the Spirit Supreme Tower is discussing the formalization of professions such as card warriors and puppeteers and including them in the category of monks of the three seas...... In the past, card warriors cost money, and they couldn't play without some capital, but now spiritual apprentices can arm themselves with themselves. ”

Card warriors are spiritual apprentices who use spirit cards as a means of combat, and in the past, they were not recognized as a regular profession by the Faling Pagoda because they fought with the help of foreign objects.

"Strong light technology, film and television technology benefit the entire lower strata of society, and the ring of imprint benefits all Linghai monks." The leader of the Ao Mage shook his head and sighed, "Now that I think about it, let alone adding to the prophet, even if we wait a few years for us to make a documentary for him, it is not impossible." ”

"Well, that's an exaggeration, Valhalla ......"

"What's wrong with the Valhalla Temple, the Ring of Imprint has been confirmed and recognized, named after the ring, I'm afraid it's not far from the Valhalla Temple."

As we all know, the "ring" has a very high status in the minds of the arcane mages.

Therefore, great technologies are basically named after rings, such as the Ring of Distortion, the Ring of Projection, the Ring of Contract, and so on.

The smooth naming of the Ring of Branding is naturally recognized by everyone as the greatness of this technology.

So when Master Ao said this, several people next to him "hissed" in unison, absorbing a lot of cold air in the projection room.

……

The people of the Orfa Holy City are secretly watching the upcoming election of the chief sage of the Ofa Tower, but there is no movement in the media, the people do not feel much about it, and there is not even a person in the streets to discuss it.

Such a major matter as the addition of the Prophet belongs to the top personnel arrangement of the Seven Towers Federation, and it is no longer a height that ordinary people can discuss.

In essence, the Federation of the Seven Towers is not a kingdom, and even the aristocracy has not been completely abolished so far.

Therefore, there is a limit to what people can discuss, and there is only a limit to what can be portrayed in newspapers and media.

However, inside the Offa Tower, around the Offa projection room, there is almost no stop from morning to night, and the twenty-seven incumbent chief sages often descend from the Offa projection room to communicate face-to-face in the form of doppelgangers.

After all, not all of the prophets lived in the Holy City of Alpha, and many of them explored the spiritual arcane in various parts of the Seven Towers Federation, and even went out all year round without returning.

"The old man's choice is clear, Duke." In Offata's office, Serthas received a doppelganger of a prophet, "Lord Joseph, it is true that a new prophet should be added to the puppet realm, but not the realm of erudition. ”

Joseph appears to be an elderly man, not only a prophet himself, but also a teacher of the 7-ringed Morning Star Arcane.

Hearing this, he retorted: "Duke is too young, I have met with many prophets and talked to them, but they do not support Duke's current addition as a prophet. A very important reason is that Duke is not a Grand Arcane mage, so he can't cast the Projection Ring and can't hold meetings. ”

"The honor can be given first, and when he is promoted to the Great Ao Mage, it is not too late to come to the meeting."

"Isn't the Mist Chapter enough, isn't the Card-Making Sage title enough?" Joseph said, "Promise him again that when he is promoted to the Great Arcane Master, he will be added as a prophet as soon as he is promoted." ”

"He has been inspired by the will of the stars."

"That doesn't hide the fact that he can't participate in the big picture now, and his unwillingness to settle in the Holy City of Offa and his desire to occupy the position of prophet is unconscionable."

"In recent years, Duke has brought earth-shaking innovations in the field of erudition, and in this regard, we should also add him as a prophet and let him continue to shine in the field of erudition." "And the Ring of Branding is too great a credit for the prophet's position to be denied to him," Serthas insisted. ”

Joseph also frowned and replied: "It's not that you don't give it, and it's not that you deny the ring of branding, but wait a little longer, I believe Duke can understand this truth." ”

"I still have the same opinion as before, meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who reach it will be a teacher." Serthas revealed an unchangeable tone, "The purpose of the establishment of the prophet is to promote the development of the major fields of spiritual arcane, and naturalism needs a new prophet, and Duke also has the ability to promote the development of the field of erudition. ”

"Since Lord Serthas insists, I won't say more, so I'll take my leave."

"Slow down and don't send it."

When Joseph left, someone came to visit him after a while, this time not a doppelganger, but the real body of Maderon Rhodiola rose.

"Maderón is here." Serthas leaned back in his chair and didn't do any polite manners, "What do you think?" ”

As the chief director of the Erudite Tower, Maderón Rhodiola is also a prophet, leading the study of naturalism to the society, that is, the promotion of new technologies.

He said indifferently: "I don't plan to nominate Duke. ”

Serthas frowned: "Why? ”

"The reason is the same as most of the prophets, Duke can't meet, the prophet not only has to meet in the city of Offa, but also often comes to some ruins to meet, Duke can't participate for the time being, and there is no point in adding as a prophet."

"If even the person who invented the Ring of Branding is not qualified to be a prophet, how can I, a prophet, be qualified to sit in this position?"

"You can wait." Ma Delong said indifferently.

"The study of naturalism has developed rapidly in recent centuries, and the third prophet is logical, if you wait for the next time, I am afraid that it will take decades!" Sersas snorted, the chief sage of Offata, who was required to be added once every ten years.

But not every time there is addition, a prophet will always be chosen, otherwise, the long life of the Arcane Master would not be more than the current twenty-seven prophets.

Maderón was silent for a moment and said: "As far as I know so far, Duke will not get one-third of the votes, there is no possibility of forcible push, and the probability of losing votes is 100%. ”

Prophetic Supplement, every 10 years.

Each prophet could nominate a candidate.

Of course, the prophets would communicate with each other before the supplementary vote, and would not blindly nominate candidates.

Candidates who receive more than half of the prophet's recommendation votes can be added directly to the new prophet. If there are less than half of the recommended votes, but more than one-third of the recommended votes, as long as there is a strong push from the Radiant Moon Arcane Master, you can start the strong push mode.

In the push-ahead mode, all Prophets can only vote against and in favor of that candidate.

If there is still a majority of the votes, it can be added as a new prophet, and if there is still less than a majority of the votes, the addition fails.

Basically, every year, the additional prophetic votes are mostly inconclusive, and the votes are lost—it is very difficult to get the support of half of the prophets.

"I'm going to still nominate Duke." Serzas looked at Maderon and snorted coldly, "It's a big deal, and the ticket will be lost, anyway, in my opinion, no one's qualifications are as good as Duke." I can't invent shocking results, and if I want to rely on seniority, it won't work with me. ”

Ma Delong frowned: "It's just a matter of facts, no one wants to rely on seniority." ”

"I'm tired, go yourself." Sersas served tea directly to the guests.

Maderón got up indifferently and left the office.

When he left, Ser Suston threw away the teacup and scolded: "It's really an elm pimple, as the chief director of the Erudite Tower, I don't want to expand the field of erudition, I don't know what I'm thinking all day long, I think I want to degenerate into a sinking demon!" ”

Then the fire was extinguished, and Serthas sighed again: "This kind of meeting, it is better to cancel it, the older the arcane mage, the more iron-headed, and the sparks will shine when they meet......"

No one can convince anyone.

He rubbed his forehead and looked out the window at the white clouds.

At this time, the figure of the Shell Wise Man slowly condensed, and said gently: "Lord Serthas, you can't just slander others as Sinking Demons. ”

Ser Suston laughed and said, "Didn't I scold a few words to get angry, don't record my remarks." ”

The entire Offa Tower is basically maintained by the Shell Wise Man.

Anything anyone does here, except in private places, will be faithfully recorded by the Shell Wise and become part of the historical information of the Offata.

Register and put it on the bookshelf so that future generations can easily notice.

"I will make this piece of information a top secret level, so that no one else can easily access it, only the arcane master can access it." Said the Shell Wise Man.

Serthas shook his head helplessly: "It's okay, don't show it to the children, as for the arcane tutor, it doesn't matter, the old man dares to scold in front of him, let alone scold a few words behind his back...... Besides, when we quarreled before, we had to spit at each other, so why not scold a few words. ”

"Uncivilized behavior should still be restrained." Said the Shell Wise Man.

Serzath sighed: "That's why I don't like to come to Offata, you can't talk about it at all, you have to be restrained in what you say and do." ”

The tone of the Shell Wise Man was still so gentle: "The sage Xi Yizi once said that rules are the foundation of spiritual mysteries, even if they are complex rings, they need to follow the rules, and if they are deprived of the rules, the spiritual arcane law will collapse." ”

"Well, I know, I know." Serthas hurriedly diverted the subject, "I heard that Offatta has been tossing the sage's documentary recently? ”

"Yes."

"What's the shooting, does the Shell Wise know?"

"I only saw some clips, and the film crew was still in the process of revising and preparing, so in my taste, I can only say that it is not bad."

"Haha, does the Shell Wise have a favorite fantasy movie?" Serthas asked with a smile.

"I like the documentary series "Man and Nature", "Aerial Photography of the Seven Towers" and "Black Jiaohe on the Tip of the Tongue" produced by DreamWorks Film and Television." The Shell Wise Man quickly replied, "The maturity of the work far exceeds that of other fantasy films. ”

Immediately, the Shell Wise Man added: "The planners of these works all have the name of Duke Sage. ”

"Isn't the illusion film invented by him, and how can other people's clumsy imitations surpass him as an inventor."

"Does Lord Sel'thas have a favorite fantasy movie?"

"The juniors of the old man's family have drummed up a film and television company and made a few fantasy films adapted from the stories of the old man when he was young, I think it's pretty good." Serthas touched his beard, complacent with the legend of his youth.

"Is it "Earth Arcane Mage vs. Nine-Headed Phoenix Dragon", I've also seen it, Lord Sel'sas's demeanor when he was young is amazing."

"Hahahaha, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!"

……

"I don't have much hope." Duke looked at Erwin and shook his head slowly, "Seniority aside, the fact that I can't cast the Projection Ring alone limits the height I can stand. ”

"What if you settle in the Occult City?"

"It's no fun, the 3rd Ring Arc Mage is a little worse after all." Duke said, smiling, "If I solve the ring replication material, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope, let it go now, I have to focus on the development of Cuihai City." ”

"Alas, if you think about it carefully, you are too young, Lord Duke, and the big people in the Holy City are afraid that they don't want to see Duke and you sit with them."

After a pause, Erwin added: "It doesn't matter if you don't choose this time, there must be a place for you in the position of prophet, sooner or later." ”

"Let's stop talking about that, let's continue our experiments."

"Okay."

After casting the projection ring to condense the clone several times, Erwin was also a little tired, so he left the laboratory first, leaving Duke still thinking hard.

"Xiaoyi."

"Master, I'm here."

"What good way do you circumvent the fog of spiritual arcane?"

"Xiao Yi is thinking, but the data collected by Xiao Yi is separated from the origin of the spiritual arcane law by a layer of intuitive feeling, and it cannot be directly analyzed, so it can only rely on data calculation to indirectly speculate on the fog of spiritual arcane."

"Recalculate the data, find the missing variables, and we'll re-collect it!" Duke didn't give up and decided to continue to stumble on the data.

He liked what Leovis had said.

There may be no solution to life, but there must be a solution to spiritual mysteries.

The Ring of Projection must have a way to avoid the fog of spiritual arcane, making the Replica Ring a real arcane weapon, so that all levels of arcane mages can project clones.

After letting Xiaoyi die, Duke has another thing to do, that is, to activate the Mark of the Stars, enter the Dream of the Stars and continue to light up the stars.

As of now, it has been more than a year since he received the Duke Star.

He has lit up about 5,000 stars, and among them, the tree king, which was developed by humans, has also lit up three.

One is the 3-ringed tree king of the Snow Shirt Palace of the Broken Ice Grand Duchy - the Snow Shirt King.

One is located in a certain city in the New Free Federation, and Duke did not choose to come, but just groped for the situation in case of emergency.

The New Free Federation is located between the Storm Empire and the Tempest Empire, and does not have much interaction with the Seven Towers Federation.

The other tree is located in the Sea Soul Empire, in a city bordering the Great Western Sea, where the Tree King blows half the sea breeze and half the sand and dust.

Duke also didn't come, just jotted down the coordinates.

"What I want is the Tree King in the Seven Towers Federation, and I don't know when it will be lit...... And how big is this world, I lit up more than 5,000 stars before I met three tree kings with human development, I can't imagine it. ”

From the current information, it can be inferred that the entire Wild Continent is located in the northeastern hemisphere of the planet.

Probably spanned the polar and tropical regions.

But even if it covers the entire planet, the land area can't carry so many tree kings, and according to probability, it's long overdue to light up the tree kings in the Seven Towers Federation.

This can't help but make Duke wonder if the Wild Continent is a planet at all.

"Keep lighting up, anyway, the time is on me, I don't believe that after a few busy years, I still can't find the stars in the Seven Towers Federation. Maybe you will be lucky and directly light up the stars corresponding to the 3-ring tree king - green banyan forest. ”

After the whirlwind of the world, he has appeared in the starry sky of the starry dream.

The Duke Star shimmered at his feet, and there were countless lines of light around him, connecting one star after another to form a bright area.

Outside of this area, it was still dark, only the stars twinkling.

"Goddess Nix!" Duke shouted, and his mind teleported directly to a star at the very edge of the bright area.

Goddess Nyx did not respond, for more than a year, Duke would shout every time he came in, but Goddess Nyx never responded.

Maybe it will be a hundred years before He wakes up again.

Running and lighting up dozens of stars, Duke shook his head in disappointment, and then the world swirled, and the surrounding scene returned to reality.

"Whew, it's nothing." Duke was used to it.

So I didn't feel much discouraged, packed up, and left the lab and returned to my office on the top floor.

"Calculating the time, at this time, the addition of the chief sage of the Ofata should have already come to fruition." Duke drank the tea brewed by the little assistant, and secretly thought to himself, "As a nominated candidate, I will be notified of the results as soon as possible." ”

He didn't know if others would choose him, but Serthas said in many public places that he would nominate Duke.

Therefore, the vote of Sershas is stable.

Although he knew very well in his heart that the vote of Sershas alone was of no use, after all, there were twenty-seven prophets in Offata.

But.

"People will always grasp this glimmer of hope before it is gone, like a life-saving straw for a drowning person...... I'm no exception. Duke blew on the tea leaves, smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, and took another sip of tea.

However, he believed that the Ring of Branding was worthy of a prophetic status, and even a sage, depending on when it was fulfilled.

Whether it's a prophet or a sage, there are actually a large number of people waiting in line.

Duke is new here, and whether he can cut the line depends on whether the Ring of Branding is worth setting a precedent for the prophets.

Waiting is the most tiring, and he is a little irritable.

He put down his teacup and got up and went to a newly furnished conservatory in the office, which was stuffy, hot and humid, and a flower bed was built in the middle.

There are some tropical plants in the flower beds, which he has purchased from other places one after another, and arranged the flower beds into a rainforest-proof climate.

And then.

In the middle of the flower bed, he buried the heart of oak inside.

Come back every day and use breathing to catalyze the heart of the oak, hoping that the heart of the oak will sprout and then grow an oak sapling.

This is an oak tree that is about to break through to the king of the 3 rings, and when it is dying, the essence of the whole body is condensed into an oak heart. Just like the original Crypt Marching Ant Queen Red Branch, it condenses the blood of the whole body, lays an ant egg, and finally hatches Little Red.

"I hope it's useful, if it really sprouts, maybe a 3-ring tree king can also grow on Lingya Mountain, and then I will smash the pot and sell iron, and I will also let it grow."

Duke has a special affection for the Tree King.

The reason is simple, he can descend from the dream of the stars to the side of every tree king, and the whole world will be at his mercy.

Watering, fertilizing, and respirating for a while, Duke left the greenhouse.

The little assistant Mulali immediately walked over: "Sir, the document from the United Tower is sent directly from the United Tower of the Arcane Holy City. ”

"Yes." Duke took the paperwork and understood that this was the result of the addition of the prophet.

And.

I must have failed to add the position of prophet, otherwise it would not have been just a document, but a great mage who had come to the Holy City of Aofa to congratulate him in person.

Sure enough, after opening the paperwork, a paragraph was written on it.

Duke's eyes were focused on two of the words - the flow of votes, and this addition of the prophet ended in the form of a flow of votes.

Ask for tickets~
