Sukhtara didn't attend the noon feast, and she did fall into a state of epiphany, but it wasn't the kind of momentary initiation.

It's a mysterious state that keeps her awake and feels muddy at the same time.

It's as if one person is cut in half and experiences two different senses.

Duke asked softly, then took his leave, telling the tower's steward to keep an eye on the door and not let anyone come and disturb Sukhtara.

This state of epiphany can be encountered but not sought.

"I hope that the teacher can use this epiphany to pry open a gap in the fog of spiritual arcane and find an opportunity to completely clear it!"

For Sukhtara, he is full of gratitude in his heart, and it can be said that he can replace the existence of his relatives.

He didn't plot the inheritance that Sukhtara gave him, he only hoped that Sukhtara would be promoted to the 4th Ring Earth Master and prolong his life for another twenty or thirty years.

The atmosphere of the luncheon was intense.

Erwin was especially excited, and kept persuading him to drink, if he didn't care about an old face, he might have to kneel down and kowtow to Duke on the spot, willing to be a lackey for the door.

The higher Duke's accomplishments, the more he wanted to rub off on the title of sage.

Everyone has obsessions, and Erwin's obsession is like this, Duke already knew about it, so he promised when he drank that he would definitely bring Erwin with him if he did major experiments in the future.

"Look, look!" Boyton Wind Snake picked up a copy of the newspaper, which was a sample that his entourage had just delivered, and the ink was still fresh, "The sample newspaper of the Seven Towers Federation has been sent to the newspaper offices everywhere, with headlines on the front page!" ”

The Ring of the Spirit Rhino was released in the morning, and at noon, the "Seven Towers Daily" had already determined the content for tomorrow, which was extremely efficient.

Keystone Fury took the newspaper and read it out loud: "After the Ring of Imprint, then the Ring of the Spiritual Rhino, the Duke Sage has climbed the new peak of the Spiritual Arcane!" ”

"The Ring of the Spirit, well, it's not the Ring of the Spirit, the Ring of Projection!" Bernoulli raised an eyebrow and glanced at Duke in surprise.

The Seven Towers Daily, the newspaper with the largest circulation, also represents official authority, and has always been cautious in its use of wording.

The Ring of Projection, and the Ring of the Spirit, are two completely different names.

The former is only a supplement to the projection ring, which belongs to a technical application, just as the arcane projection ring has always been called the arcane projection, and cannot reach the height of the "ring".

However, the latter, which is openly summarized as "ring", is an endorsement of the weight of the spirit rhino projection ring, and believes that it can be compared with the projection ring, not just a supplement.

Behind the "Seven Towers Daily", there are many Oku mage editors, who obviously will not make such a common-sense mistake.

Williams said angrily: "Obviously, the high-level officials over there in the Ofa Holy City think that the Ring of the Spirit Rhino and the Ring of Projection are no longer high or low in value!" ”

Stephen Winged Tiger nodded, also with emotion: "With two achievements named after the ring, Duke Sage is destined to be selected for the Valhalla Temple in the future!" Tsk, how strong is the spirituality of my Black Jiaohe Land, and it can actually come out of a sage! ”

Duke hurriedly waved his hand: "It's too famous, it's too famous!" ”

Boyton Wind Snake said solemnly at this time: "Duke Sage, this is really not an exaggeration, in my opinion, the fundamental reason why the Seven Towers Daily is called the Ring of the Spirit Rhino is not based on the 'projection' itself, but on the 'Spirit Rhino'!" ”

"Oh, what's the point?" Keystone stopped reading the newspaper and asked.

Although he is an elemental scholar, only his own family knows how high the water content of the title is—after all, he is taking the arcaneist route, and he is definitely not as good as the arcane scholar in the exploration of spiritual arcane.

Duke also looked at Boyton, wanting to hear what others had to say.

Although he invented the Spirit Rhino Projection Ring, he was limited by his cognition, and he focused too much on the "projection" itself, rather than the contract ring represented by the "Spirit Rhino".

Boyton cleared his throat and said seriously: "I think that the Ring of the Spirit Rhino has a broader meaning, especially the difficulty of joining the Ring of Contract, I am afraid it will be of great significance to the 3-ring arcane mage and clear the fog of spiritual arcane!" ”

"Shhh Erwin gasped, "If that's the case, the value of the Spirit Rhino Ring is simply immeasurable!" ”

Even Duke couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "With the help of the Ring of Contract, the Ring of the Spirit Rhino is positioned between the real spiritual sea and reality, if you study it carefully based on this, you may not be able to find a shortcut to clear the fog of the spiritual arcane!" ”

He had thought about this before, but because he hadn't really felt the fog of spiritual arcane, he didn't know much about it, so he immediately forgot about it.

It is only after Boyton's reminder that this issue is being carefully examined.

And instructed Xiao Yi in his heart: "Xiao Yi, according to the content of the existing database, estimate the probability of success in clearing the fog of spiritual arcane with the help of the Spirit Rhino Ring!" ”

"Okay master, Xiaoyi is calculating for you, it may take a little time, master, you can continue to drink and have fun first."

The atmosphere of the luncheon was accompanied by the possibility of the Ring of the Spirit, reaching new heights.

Erwin was already dazed from drinking, but Keystone Fury didn't understand the Ring of the Rhinoceros thoroughly, and after a few exclamations, he continued to look at the sample newspaper of the Seven Towers Daily, and quickly laughed.

"My lord, why are you laughing?" Williams asked.

Keystone pointed to the front page of the newspaper: "Look here, Duke is grateful to the old man, and Erwin and Boyton...... Zhuang, at the age of the old man, he can still make the headlines on the front page of the "Seven Towers Daily"! ”

Although it is only mentioned slightly, it has been counted as the front page headline of the "Seven Towers Daily".

It's an honor.

Bernoulli intended to alleviate the previous conflict with everyone, and raised his glass to congratulate: "The Ring of the Spirit Rhino will definitely become a monument to the spiritual arcane, and you, the boss, as well as Elwin and Boyton, will also leave their names on the monument!" ”

"Haha, haha." Keystone laughed, "The old man just lay down, but I didn't expect to be able to make a monument!" ”

Duke smiled: "The three of them have contributed a lot to my research on the Ring of the Spiritual Rhino, and they deserve to be left on the monument. ”

Everyone drank a glass of wine together, and Erwin was already smiling so much that he couldn't see it: "It also depends on who you cooperate with to do research, not every time you lie on the experimental table, you can leave a monument." In the Black Jiaohe Land, only the Duke Sage Mage Tower can do it! ”

Stephen Winged Tiger laughed and said, "Come, let's congratulate Duke Sage for a drink!" ”

The luncheon was hearty for more than an hour, and although everyone had not finished chatting, they also knew that it was not too early and it was time to disperse.

"There will be time in the future, now leave time to Duke, Duke Sage Mage Tower, now I'm afraid there are a lot of people waiting to visit him." Keystone waved his hand and took the shuttle directly to the flight station, and did not go to Lingya Mountain again.

Erwin and the others also dispersed.

Bernoulli deliberately walked one step late, and when everyone else had left, he said to Duke with a flattering face: "Lord Duke Sage, I was old and confused in the past, I fought with you for the Twin Springs, and I also attracted De Riley Armor Rat, I beg you to forgive!" ”

As he spoke, he bowed and apologized to Duke.

Duke has always respected the old and loved the young, and when he saw that Bernoulli's hair and beard were all gray, he stretched out his hand to support the other party: "What does Your Excellency Bernoulli mean by this, it's all in the past, and I don't care about it." ”

"Your Excellency has a lot of them." Bernoulli lowered his posture, "Fortunately, De Riley Armored Rat did not fight you, and the Duke Sage Mage Tower was successfully built on Lingya Mountain...... If you don't mind, Lord Sage, Inuko wants to go to work in your Mage Tower, and by the way, go to Sanhai University in Lingya Mountain to teach. ”

Bernoulli himself started the Black Jade family.

Now this move is undoubtedly preparing to make the Black Jade family completely close to Duke.

Duke didn't mind accepting it, strictly speaking, he didn't have any contradictions with Bernoulli and the Black Jade family.

It's just that they have different positions from each other.

Bernoulli belonged to the Outsiders, while Duke belonged to the Native Forces.

But Cuihai City has been established, and the Black Jade family has also become a part of Cuihai City, and it is a little backward to think about the problem from a standpoint.

"If Your Excellency Buris Black Jade is willing, I will naturally not refuse." Duke said, and then changed his words, "But working in the Mage Tower, or teaching at Sanhai University, I hope that we can be honest with each other and have no reservations in our knowledge." ”

"You can rest assured of this, the Black Jade Family's Imperial Gu Dao, I will let the dog teach it to the outside world without reservation, even if it is the old man himself, he can go to Sanhai University to teach the Imperial Gu course as a substitute."

Hearing this, Duke smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll go back and let my subordinates hire Burlis Black Jade." ”

Bernoulli got his wish, invited him again and again, and set a banquet for Duke at the Black Jade Family's Mage Tower five days later, before he said goodbye and left.

Duke turned and sat down on his shuttle.

The little assistant Mu Lali looked at Duke with a look of adoration, and said with a smile: "Sir, you are now the heaven of the Black Jiaohe Land!" ”

"What the hell is this?" Duke patted the little assistant's thigh, the girl had grown up, and the feeling became more and more delicate and soft.

"You are the god of the Black Jiaohe Land, even the 4-ring earth arcane mage like Lord Bernoulli has to look at your face." Mulali said proudly, looking at Duke's eyes, wishing that she could drip water on the spot.

It's all tenderness and sweetness.

Mu Lashan, who was sitting on the other side, was not as good as Mu Lali, but she also nodded busily, and her admiration did not diminish at all.

Duke stretched out his hand left and right, grabbed the two little assistants, and felt that life was struggling hard, roughly for this moment.

The people outside are flattering and flattering, and their own people are gently serving.

The talent of the two daughters in spiritual arcane law is not very high, and there is probably no hope of being promoted to arcane mage in this life.

But Duke wasn't disgusted.

He is really a person who misses the old, and the people who followed him in the early years, he has not sent any of them, and he still stays by his side.

For a traverser who is destined not to return home, the person he met when he was in Snakehead Town is probably the attachment to home in his heart, or at least a ray of comfort. What is in the portal of the Twisted Ring is the original intention, and these people around him are not the original intention.

The local correspondent of the "Seven Towers Daily" was already waiting in front of Duke's office.

Wait for Duke to take a nap at noon.

The reporter was finally summoned and was able to spare an hour for an exclusive interview. The reporter did not dare to delay at all, and directly took out a piece of paper, which recorded many questions sent by the headquarters of the Orfa Holy City, and asked Duke questions one by one.

Most of the questions revolve around the Ring of the Spirit, and only a few involve Duke personally.

After all, this is not the first time Duke has interviewed the "Seven Towers Daily", and he has basically asked all the personal questions that should be asked.

And it's been less than two years since the last interview, and how many new things can happen in two years.

"I don't recognize that I did this on my own." Faced with one of these questions, Duke responded seriously, "Not to mention that Keystone Fury, Erwin, and Boyton Wind Snake cooperated with me in collecting data, but my teacher Suktara also contributed greatly. ”

He then said angrily: "I have inherited the teacher's lifelong learning and research results, so that I can accumulate and invent the spiritual rhino ring." ”

There was a pause.

He uttered a famous quote from Earth: "If I can see a little further, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants." ”

The reporter's eyes lit up instantly, and he wrote down this sentence in his notebook.

He had a hunch in his heart that this slightly boring interview might become a classic interview because of this sentence.

……

Shenjiao City, Clelinda Mage Tower.

Azgul, who had been promoted to the director of the Erudite Tower, came here again to chat with Klelinda and ease the other party's resentment.

The Runwanjia Spirit Artifact Factory has closed down, and now the Giant of Light has completely replaced the Runwanjia market.

However, after all, Clelinda is a veteran 3-ring mage, and the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, so it is not difficult to maintain a mage tower.

It's just that the Mage Tower is a little deserted, after all, there are no decent topics to study.

"Come out and do something, Klelinda." When Azgul saw Klelinda, she frowned unconsciously.

Clelinda in front of him has grown a big beard at some point, and his beard has covered half of his face.

On the coffee table and table, a large number of drinks were placed at random.

At this moment, Klelinda, exuding the smell of alcohol, smiled bitterly when she heard the words: "What are you doing, everyone is afraid that they are not watching my jokes!" ”

"No one reads your jokes, everyone is busy now, there are a lot of gaps in all walks of life, you can definitely get a good position when you come out to do things." Azgul said patiently that she and Klelinda had been friends for half a lifetime, and she couldn't bear to see each other mess.

"What good position to strive for, go to Cuihai City to fight for a position?" As she spoke, Clelinda sneered, "Do you want me to serve Duke, the entire Cuihai City is his, and I will serve him like a dog!" ”

"If you don't go to Cuihai City, it's in Shenjiao City, many arcane mages have gone to Cuihai City recently, and there are a lot of vacancies in the five towers of Shenjiao City."

"I'm not going!" Clelinda stretched out her hands and trembled, "I'm a 3-ring arcane mage, but my strength may not even be comparable to a 2-ring arcane mage, isn't it comfortable to go out and find yourself comfortable?" ”

"I'm afraid that if you continue to think like this, you will sink!"

"Sinking Demon, haha, it's not bad."

"Nonsense!"

"Hahahaha......" Clelinda laughed, not knowing what she was laughing at, and after a while, she regained her composure and asked, "You came here today, is there something wrong?" ”

"What can I do, just look at you."

"There must be something, I see signs of restlessness in your eyes." After all, Clelinda is a 3-ring arcane mage, and this observation is still there, not to mention that he has been friends with Azgul for half a life, and he is very familiar with each other.

"Alas!" Azgul sighed.

"Tell me, there's no confusion you can't tell me, at least it's not a big deal compared to me, a piece of shit." Clelinda laughed to herself.

Azgul frowned and said, "Don't always be a waste, compared to many low-level arcane mages, you are still an unattainable height...... I'm just, I received the news today that Duke has made a new announcement in the Orfa Holy City. ”

A hint of resentment flashed in Clelinda's eyes, as well as a hint of fear, and she asked unnaturally, "What results?" ”

"Spirit Rhino Projection Ring, I've already read the paper, and the 3-ring arcane mage can also cast a replica ring, and then cast the projection ring method." Azgul said, quietly glancing at Clelinda, "Theoretically, you and I have a chance to cast clones. ”

"This ......," Klelinda was surprised and puzzled.

Although his spirit core has been shattered together, he is a 3-ring arcane mage after all, and if he can increase the means of clone, it will naturally be a great joy.

But this technology was invented by Duke, and it was difficult for him to accept it for a while.

But soon he saw Azgul, and he seemed to be a little speechless, and his heart suddenly chuckled: "Azgul, you haven't finished your words yet, have you?" ”

Shaking his head, Azgul still decided to confess: "I read the paper carefully, the spirit core and the replication ring rely on the contract ring to locate each other, and this technology requires a complete spirit core, otherwise it cannot match the state of the replication ring." ”

Klelinda's face turned pale for a moment, and then he clenched his fists: "Complete spirit core...... In other words, I can't, right? ”

"It's not necessarily impossible, it's just a paper, and maybe there are other ways to make up for it."

"Hehe, hehe...... Make up for! Klelinda slumped down in her chair and laughed miserably, "I'm just a piece of shit, what else can I make up for!" ”

Azgul could only do her best to appease.

I regret it very much, maybe I shouldn't have told Klelinda about this news. But even if she doesn't tell it today, Klelinda will find out from the newspaper tomorrow. It's better for her to tell it herself, at least to comfort her face-to-face.

After a long time, Clelinda waved her hand and said in a dejected tone: "Azgul, I'm a little tired, you can do it yourself." ”

"Don't think about it, there's always a way." Azgul comforted her, and when she saw that Klelinda had stabilized, she got up and left.

Let's be honest.

After the announcement of the Spirit Rhino Projection Ring technology, she was a little eager to try it, after all, this was a method that only the Great Arcane Mage could use.

I even wanted to ask Duke for advice in person.

It's just not embarrassing.

In the afternoon, she went to work at the Polymath Tower, and the chief director, Erwin, also came, and a meeting was held, focusing on the Ring of Spirits.

"The Ring of the Spirit Rhino is an all-encompassing name, and it should include the Spirit Rhino Projection Ring and the Spirit Rhino Projection Technology. Our Erudite Tower should follow up in time, not only to build the Spirit Rhino Projection Quasi-Arcane, but also to delve into the connection between the Spirit Rhino Ring and the Spiritual Arcane Mist. ”

After Erwin finished speaking, Azgul immediately asked, "Chief Director, can the Ring of the Spirit Rhino break the fog of the Spiritual Mysteries?" ”

"It's very likely, at least the Alpha Holy City side is more inclined to do it, and I've personally communicated with Duke Sage." Erwyn's drunkenness had already woken up, and he said happily at this moment, "Duke Sage also thinks that there is a shortcut to clear the fog of spiritual arcane!" ”

"Really?" Azgul was shocked.

She was the 3-Ring Arcane Mage, and had touched the fog of spiritual arcane, but never thought she could break through it.

Although it is named after the fog of spiritual arcane, it is actually a cognitive barrier, whether it can be cleared or not, in fact, most of the 3-ring arcane mages know it in their hearts.

It's not so much fog as despair.

It is an insurmountable gulf.

"Most likely, Duke believes that there is probably more than half a probability that the Circle of Contract can be linked to the Spiritual Arcane Mist, providing a shortcut." Erwin smiled and said, "Azgul, you are the 3rd Ring Arcane Mage, and you have also touched the fog, you can study more, in case you succeed!" ”

"Yes!" Azgul's heart pounded.

Even if Erwin doesn't say it, she will study deeply, as a 3-ring arcane mage, isn't her biggest dream to break the shackles and be promoted to the 4-ring earth arcane mage.

Wait until the meeting is over.

Thinking of something, she suddenly got up and left the Erudite Tower, and went straight to the Clelinda Mage Tower, where she saw a drunken Clelinda.

Clelinda was still dazed and clamoring for a drink.

She went up and slapped Clelinda a few times, until the drunk Clelinda was stunned.

"Are you sober?"

Feeling the burning pain in her cheeks, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she replied, "You can actually use psionic energy to help me sober up." ”

"Too lazy to bother."

"Uh."

"Listen, I know you're decadent, and I know why you're decadent." Azgul said in a deep voice, "It's not because of the dispute between Runwanjia, but because your spirit core was shattered once, and you think you've become a waste." But this time, there is a hope in front of you. ”

"What hope?" Clelinda's gaze was a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look at Azgul, his heart was completely right.

"Duke...... Lord Duke Sage. Azgul changed her name, and said from the heart, "Lord Duke invented the Ring of the Spiritual Rhino, and it is said that this technology can be studied in depth to help the 3-Ring Arcane Master clear the fog of the spiritual arcane and find a shortcut. ”

Klelinda hadn't come to her senses yet: "What? ”

"Meaning, you may be saved!"

"I ...... Saved? ”

"The Ring of the Spirit Rhino may be your savior! It's not just you, it's the savior of all the 3-ring arcane mages who are blocked by the fog! ”

Azgul looked at Klelinda and said seriously, "So, cheer up and thank Lord Duke." Then, follow me as you study the Ring of the Rhinos and try to find a shortcut, remember, this is your only chance! ”

"I ...... This ......" Klelinda's face changed and changed, and it took a while to straighten everything out," Du ...... Master Duke Sage, the invented Ring of the Spirit Rhino really works? ”

"Whether it works or not, you will know until you try it." Azgul looked at Klelinda, who was already excited, and said with relief, "At least Lord Duke, give me a chance, a hope, don't you." ”

Take a deep breath.

Clelinda used her psionic energy, dissipated the alcohol in her whole body, clenched her fists and said excitedly, "Yes, this is an opportunity!" ”

He looked at Azgul and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, Azgul!" ”

Azgul replied indifferently: "Don't thank me, thank you, Lord Duke Sage, this is a great man destined to illuminate the world." ”

She smiled faintly: "What is the dirtiness of the past, and what about the defeat of the subordinates of Lord Duke Sage, maybe many years later, it will become a good story and a beautiful conversation." You will be remembered for it. ”

When Clelinda heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched again, and her heart was not that you were defeated, it was me, it was me Clelinda who was pressed to the ground and rubbed it, okay!

Soon, though.

He also took into account the practical problem: "This, Azgul, you specialize in the field of erudition, and I ...... Well, I'm not good at anything, can the two of us study the Ring of the Soul Thoroughly? ”

"Of course not."

Azgul said in a natural tone: "But we are just deepening our understanding, the shortcut to clear the fog of spiritual arcane, naturally there are Lord Duke Sages, and the big people of the arcane city to study, we just need to be ready and wait quietly." ”

Clairinda was stunned.

Then he nodded approvingly: "It makes sense." ”

Just when the two of them were about to understand the Ring of the Spirit Rhino first, and then wait for the big man to build a shortcut, the Aofa Holy City had already received an interview sketch from a reporter from the "Seven Towers Daily" in Cuihai City.

The editors quickly began writing and proofreading.

Tomorrow, I plan to publish the full text of this interview on other pages of the newspaper.

However, an editor of the Great Ombar, seeing a sentence deliberately highlighted in the sketch, quickly sent this sentence to the news department of Offata, the headquarters of the "Seven Towers Daily" is also in Offata, which belongs to a subordinate department of Offata.

After reading this, the head of the Department of Public Information gladly gave instructions.

A moment later.

On the large screen on the exterior wall of the Offa Tower, a full-body photo of Duke was played, accompanied by an artistic font.

"If I can see a little further, it's because I'm standing on the shoulders of giants."
