Thea Firefly didn't spend the night in Cuihai City, and after a walk around Cuihai City, she said goodbye to her great-granddaughter.

Then he took his own warship and left Cuihai City and returned to the Holy City of Ofa.

Sixteen-year-old Winona Firefly, with red eyes, stared at the battleship taking off, leaving home for the first time, and it was so far away from Cuihai City, which made her feel what it means to be alone.

"Ibuprofen, you have to bring more Winona." After Duke returned to the Mage Tower, he called his student ibuprofen over, "Winona has come from out of town, she is still young, you can help in the spiritual arcane class." ”

Winona's life doesn't have to worry about Duke.

The reason is simple, Thea Firefly left Winona a team of guard knights, and the captain of it, Triss, is a female 3-ring high-level phantom beast knight.

The 3-ring high-level phantom beast knights are already scarce, and the big nobles are even more eager to recruit the 3-ring high-level phantom beast knights, not to mention that she is still a woman. It can be seen how much Thea Firefly has invested in order to protect her great-granddaughter.

In addition, in her team of escort knights, there are also two 2-ring phantom beast knights.

This is even envied by Duke, as the prophet of the Seven Towers Federation, in the Guardian Knights, only Captain Herdos is a 2-Ring Phantom Beast Knight - Vivian is also a 2-Ring Phantom Beast Knight, but he has long since left the Guardian Knights.

Of course.

If Duke wants to recruit a 3-ring high-level phantom beast knight as a guard, there will definitely be a lot of people who are willing to sign up and work for a prophet, which is not too cool.

It's just that Duke doesn't have a high demand for the guards and knights who serve as honor guards.

He has no heirs, and he needs to be protected by the guard knights, so there is no need to waste a lot of money to recruit the 3-ring high-level phantom beast knights.

"Besides, when I study the Blood Spirit Formation and Blood Spirit Crystal, I'm afraid that I will be able to produce Phantom Beast Knights and High-level Phantom Beast Knights in batches by myself." Duke touched his smooth chin, the beard he had only shaved today, "At that time, the dragon knight may not be difficult to cultivate." ”

The effect of the blood spirit crystal on the spirit beast is very strong, and it is by relying on the blood spirit crystal that Xiaodou has evolved into a 2-ring phantom beast.

As long as there are enough blood spirit crystals, phantom beasts are no longer dreams, and the base of phantom beasts is large, and the probability of high-level phantom beasts and dragon beasts will naturally increase.

"Don't worry, Mentor, I'll take good care of Winona." Ibuprofen responded obediently.

She didn't know Winona Firefly's identity yet, and Duke didn't plan to tell anyone more, just herself and her teacher, Suktara.

Otherwise, the great-great-granddaughter of the stars, I'm afraid that the mage Tari doesn't know how many people will try their best to tie up Winona.

Even, give birth to some thoughts that should not be there.

"Do you have some ideas?"

In the evening, Kiria arrived by airship from the Suktara Mage Tower, met Winona, and then lay down in Duke's arms, and asked.

Duke raised an eyebrow: "She's only sixteen." ”

"It's just that I'm sixteen years old now, and in a few years I should be older." There was a slight sour taste in Kiriya's tone, "And even if you are only sixteen years old, your face is still very beautiful, and when your figure grows, she will definitely be more beautiful than me." ”

"Not as pretty as you." Duke said.

"Sixteen-year-old Arcane, the same age as you were when you were promoted to Armage, will she become the next Duke Prophet?" Kyria smiled and changed the subject.

She was a little jealous, and she didn't want to dwell on it anymore, she knew very well that Duke was not something she could catch alone.

It's not just because of Duke's personality, who is uninhibited by nature and hard to be tied down. Or because of Duke's prophetic identity, there are destined to be countless people who want to use various means to win him over. It's her own grandfather, hasn't she been wooing Duke from the beginning?

She still didn't know Winona Firefly's identity, but when she heard that the other party was from the arcane holy city, she guessed that it must be a descendant of some of the stars.

Stuffed a beautiful junior to Duke's side.

What is the purpose of this, Kiriya felt that she could guess why with her eyes closed and thinking with her delicate toes and toes.

"Duke Prophet, this is the only one." Duke smoothed Kiria's big golden wavy hair, "If I want to achieve my achievement, I don't think I'll see the ancients before, but also the future...... Not to mention that Winona is only a sixteen-year-old arcane mage, even fifteen years old, it won't be anything. ”

He has a small art, he has the knowledge of the earth, how can others compare with him.

In the records of the Seven Towers Federation, on the first day of opening the Spirit Sea, he directly comprehended the mystery of the ring and promoted to the peerless genius of the arcane mage.

But the result was only to stop at the Grand Arcian Mage.

There are many geniuses who have a quick start to this kind, but spiritual arcane law attaches more importance to accumulation, and fast cultivation does not determine the future. This is also the reason why Duke was called a genius when he was promoted at the age of sixteen, but there are still many people who look down on him.

Until now.

Duke's step-by-step proof of his edge will be widely expected to recognize that he will sooner or later rise to the skies as a member of the stars.

Winona, a sixteen-year-old arcane mage, still needs to prove herself in the future.

Kiria agreed: "Yes, you are unique. ”

In the entire history of mankind, Duke's genius is unparalleled, even the sages in the Valhalla are not as good as Duke's achievements.

In fact, Duke was only one step away from these sages—dead.

The ears and temples are grinding, and the soul is ecstasy overnight.

The next day, October 15, Duke saw off Kiria after a hard night's work, and went to work at the Union Tower, ordering and reading the newspaper.

Just as he was about to get up from work, the Erudite Tower sent an emissary to the United Tower to bring him news.

"Congratulations, Lord Prophet, for your Spiritual Rhino projection technology, you have been awarded this year's Light of the Erudite Tower. Prizes and medals are already on the way...... Lord Sertas explained that there will be a review meeting of the Supreme Committee tomorrow, and you are requested to attend it promptly at nine o'clock. ”

Not surprisingly, the Light of the Tower of Erudite was awarded to Duke for the fifth time.

However, it is not the ring of the rhino, but the projection technology of the rhino, and the ring of the rhino is not a naturalist technology, only the projection technology of the rhino is related to the naturalism.

But strictly speaking, the relevance is not big, and granting the light of the Erudite Tower has a bit of a hard rubbing of the heat.

"I know, I'll be on time." Duke bowed his head slightly, no longer surprised by the award.

Except for last year, because I was immersed in the study of ring replication materials, I didn't get the light of the Erudite Tower.

In the past few years, the light award of the erudite tower has almost been wrapped up by him.

There is no way to do it, who called the technology invented by Duke, one is greater than the other. can rely on these techniques to be selected for the Valhalla Temple after death, not to mention the current Light Award of the Tower of Erudition. Nothing but to him.

The next day, nine o'clock.

He unleashed the Spirit Rhino Ring on time, quickly activated the clone phantom, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the large conference room of the Supreme Committee of the Erudite Tower.

"Duke is here, take a seat." Chairman Serthas nodded to Duke, and then Duke's doppelganger phantom went to his place and sat down.

Down from Sersas, on the left hand side is Maderón Rhodiola and on the right hand side is Duke.

Further down are the learned sages, who are obviously of a lower status than the three prophets, and sit a little farther away.

"Ahem." Serthas looked around at the crowd and coughed lightly, "Today's meeting is to discuss the latest technological invention......"

The Supreme Audit Committee of the Polymath Tower is responsible for reviewing the major technologies reported by the country.

As a prophet in the field of erudition, Duke was able to hold meetings with the help of the Ring of the Spirit, so he was naturally drawn into the Supreme Council by Serzas, and together with the learned sages, he reviewed the latest technological inventions of naturalism and promoted the development of naturalism.

When Sershas finished talking about the new technology, he motioned to the assistant to distribute the technical patent papers one by one.

Duke flipped through the papers, not in a hurry, but a trace of trance flashed in his heart, and for a moment he couldn't tell where he was.

One moment Cuihai City, one moment Alpha Holy City.

Since the replica ring was sent to the arcane holy city, it has not been able to be sent back, it is really a brick of spiritual arcane, and it will be moved wherever there is a need.

After all.

He's just a 3-ring arcian mage.

Even if the Spirit Rhino Projection Technology has been solved now, he can freely use the Spirit Rhino Projection Technology to condense the Spirit Rhino Projection Clone. However, the doppelganger condensed by the Lingxi projection technology lasted too shortly, only for five minutes.

The previous archic mages, the clones condensed with arcane projection technology, also only lasted for a few minutes.

Moreover, the more times the projection is transferred, the more blurred the ring structure of the mimic will be, and the shorter the duration of the doppelganger will be.

Therefore, it is not possible to hold a meeting with the help of Lingxi projection technology and arcane projection technology.

In order to be able to hold a meeting normally, he could only store his only replica ring in the Orcane Holy City, and have someone send it to the conference room in advance when he needed to have a meeting.

Of course.

This is also the standard operation of the Great Arcane Masters and even the Arcane Teachers.

The only difference is that the projection ring can start from 4 rings, and each ring casts a replica ring, so that these great arcane mages and arcane teachers have many replica rings, and then have many clones, everywhere.

Now the Ring of the Spirit Rhino was born, and the projection standard was lowered to 3 rings.

With the help of this technology, the Great Arcane Mages and Arcane Masters can cast an additional replica ring and add a new clone.

It is more relaxed to go to meetings in various parts of the federation.

"Forget it, it's just a temporary inconvenience, when I am promoted to the Great Arcane Mage, sooner or later I will be able to have many projection clones."

He shook his head and threw his mixed thoughts behind him.

He began to seriously open the document in his hand, this is a new invention about the shuttle load technology, with the help of a new technology upgrade in the field of a puppet, so that the existing shuttle on the basis of the original load, the load capacity is nearly doubled.

So as to realize the cargo transportation function of the shuttle.

"The shuttle is fast, and if the load capacity can also be increased, it is indeed a strong supplement to freight." A learned sage immediately exclaimed, "I think this shuttle carrying re-technology is worthy of recognition and promotion, and the erudite tower should be arranged as soon as possible." ”

"Not necessarily, the shuttle is too expensive, although the speed is fast, but it is difficult to earn back the cost of transporting goods with it, and the social choice is not wide." Another learned sage, dissenting.

Immediately, the learned sages expressed their opinions.

Everyone is sure it's a good technology.

However, some of the learned sages supported the promotion of shuttle transportation, some of the learned sages opposed it, and some of them, such as Duke, did not express their views on this.

"What do you think, Prophet Duke?" Serthas asked Duke by name.

Duke said in a deep voice: "I think the promotion of shuttle transportation, it is indeed unrealistic, in my personal opinion, whether it is a company or a personal shipment, everyone can not afford the expensive cost of shuttle." Evenly divided into the cost, the transportation efficiency is not as good as the airship, at least the airship is big enough. ”

As soon as he spoke, the learned sages all fell into thought.

Duke said slowly: "Actually, I have an idea, which may have good promotion value for the existing transportation." ”

"Oh, please." Serthas spoke up immediately.

"Do you see the tram bus running in the city, we can improve it, lay the track between two cities or market towns, and then extend the bus, one section at a time, like a black centipede car......"

Duke's idea was not creative, he just took the train on the earth, and simply reproduced it.

A projection version of the Hand of the Arcane appeared, and he used the Hand of the Arcane to simulate the structure of the train and the railroad tracks, forming a circle around the desk.

"I have calculated that this kind of railroad train has a huge transportation capacity, and no existing means of transportation can compare with it; secondly, it runs fast, at least much faster than the black beetle car and the black centipede car; Third, low transportation cost and low energy consumption......"

The learned sages were fascinated by the train that Duke mimicked with the hand of an arcane weapon.

Duke continued: "Of course, the disadvantages of railcars are also obvious. The rails were expensive to build and had to be dominated by five towers; The rails will pass through no man's land, which is easy to be damaged by spirit beasts, and the material resistance must be strong; Flexibility is also poor, and can only run on the prescribed track. ”

The erudite sages here are not bad at insight.

Looking at Duke's model train, I immediately discern the advantages and disadvantages of rail train transportation.

The first to speak was Linton Horned Cicada, whose eyes lit up and said: "I think the idea of Duke Sage is more reliable than the airship load technology, with the help of the track laid in advance, it can effectively reduce energy consumption and increase power...... The only drawback is probably whether the spirit beast will destroy the track. ”

"There may be some dangers in the borderlands, but if it is placed in a mature area, such as Whale Song Mirror Lake, connecting the surrounding eighteen cities, there is absolutely no danger!" Another learned sage followed suit.

The area around the Whale Song Mirror Lake has been developed and matured by humans.

Basically, there are no threatening spirit beasts, so the safety of the rails will be effectively guaranteed.

"I also think that the railroad is more interesting than the shuttle to carry goods."

"Seconded."

"Just reward the shuttle load for re-technology, and then send it to several shuttle production companies, so that they can choose for themselves." An erudite sage laughed, "We should now try out a railroad around Whale Song Mirror Lake. ”

Almost no one objected, and they all agreed with Duke's proposal.

Serthas also stroked his beard and laughed: "Duke Prophet, when will your patented technology for the railroad be registered?" ”

"It's just an improvement from a trambus, and I'll register a patent in the name of the Erudite Tower, I'm too lazy to get it anymore." Duke smiled freely.

He doesn't look down on this gizmo now.

The erudite sage named Vesta said with a smile: "Duke Prophet, the railroad technology is very good, and it is very promising to win next year's Erudite Tower Light Award, don't you plan to take a few more Erudite Tower Lights?" ”

"I've taken too much, give the others a chance." Duke joked.

In six years, he took five.

It's too much.

Now that he has been added as a prophet, he has no interest in such a small award as the light of the erudite tower, and it would be better to say if the chapter of the mist is actually stable for the next chapter of the mist, and the ring of the brand can be taken, and the ring of the spirit rhino can naturally be taken.

Just kidding, the review meeting of the Supreme Committee is over, and Duke has also reached the limit of his doppelganger's phantom, quickly shattering and disappearing.

Back to reality.

He immediately took action, personally took an airship, set off from Cuihai City, passed through various market towns all the way, and finally arrived in Shenjiao City.

All the geographical environments along the way have been modeled by Xiaoyi, and the best railway construction route has been selected.

With this road map of the railroad construction, he found Keystone Fury: "My lord. ”

"Lord Duke Prophet!" Keystone quickly interrupted Duke's words, "Didn't you say okay, although the old man is hundreds of years old, he doesn't dare to say anything about you anymore!" Call me Keystone, my lord, or I won't be able to sleep. ”

If Duke was just a double sage, Keystone Fury would dare to hold up and listen to Duke shout out to the lord.

But Duke has already been a prophet, the real power of the Seven Towers Federation, and he is only a 5-ring sea arcane mage, and he does not dare to be called an adult by Duke again.

Duke smiled helplessly.

He just followed Kiria's side and called Keystone an adult, but since Keystone didn't dare to accept it, he had to change his words.

"Well, Keystone, I'm going to convene a meeting of the Ten Towers to discuss the construction of a railroad between Cuihai City and Shenjiao City." Duke handed over a drawing, "When you preside over the meeting, take it out for discussion, and when the technology on the Erudite Tower is perfect, work will begin immediately." ”

"Your Excellency, you should preside over the meeting." Keystone said.

In the past, the Ten Towers Conference was headed by the chief governor of Shenjiao City United Tower, and the chief governor of Cuihai City United Tower was the vice.

But now that Duke is a prophet, it's not his turn to be in charge of Keystone anyway.

"It's okay, you continue to preside, I'm impatient to do these mundane things." Duke reassured, "I'm going to take some time to resign as the chief consul of the Cuihai City United Tower and elect a new chief consul...... I am indeed not fit to be the Chief Consul anymore. ”

Keystone agreed: "Yes, you are already a prophet, the chief consul of the local Union Tower, and you are not worthy of your status. ”

In fact, it is not a question of worthiness or unworthiness.

Instead, Duke will continue to serve as the chief consul, which will lead to the inseparability between Cuihai City and Shenjiao City. And even if Duke resigns as chief consul, the entire Black Jiaohe Land still has to listen to him, no matter who it is, they can't escape Duke's control.

"I'm going to put my teacher in the position of Chief Consul, but she's just in name. For specific affairs, I plan to add a permanent consul to the United Tower, and let Penrose serve as the executive consul and preside over the work of the United Tower for me. ”

"Yes." Keystone has no problem with that.

The two exchanged this matter, and it was basically a certainty, and then Duke resigned, and then nominated the teacher Suktara to take over.

The Union Supreme Tower then convened an enlarged meeting, inviting the relevant Grand Arcane mages to vote.

Because Duke had already greeted him in advance, there was no surprise in the voting result, and Suktara successfully won the position of chief consul of the United Tower in Cuihai City.

After communicating with Penrose again, Penrose came to the United Tower of Cuihai City and served as the executive consul.

"I will strictly follow your ruling ideas, Lord Prophet, and manage the entire Cuihai City!" Penrose's tone was solemn, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

His personal desire for power is a bit heavy, and now he can control the power of a city in his standing capacity, and he is so satisfied that he can't be more satisfied.

Then he solemnly saluted Duke: "Thank you, Your Prophet, for your trust in me!" ”

He failed to run for the chief director of Cuihai City Faling Pagoda before, and he was really depressed for a while, but he never expected to come back as the executive ruler.

"You are my enlightenment teacher, and I naturally trust you." Duke smiled and said, "Of course, the permanent government can achieve some ambitions, but I still hope that the mentor you don't let go of your cultivation, the high-level is deducing the Spirit Rhino Ring, once there is a result, it is very promising for you to be promoted to the 4th Ring." ”

Penrose was awe-inspiring: "I understand, Prophet, please rest assured, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will never give up!" ”

Promote the 4-ring earth arcane mage, which 3-ring arcane mage can give up such an opportunity.

This is a metamorphosis of the life level.

Time has come to the end of the year, and the derivation project of the Ring of the Spirit Rhino is still in full swing.

However, the railroad casually proposed by Duke has been quickly developed by the Erudite Tower, which has gathered the efforts of many erudite sages, and formulated perfect construction standards.

The eighteen cities around the Orfa Holy City have started the construction of the track one after another.

Meanwhile.

Here in Cuihai City and Shenjiao City, track construction projects have also been started, and the track of the rail train has been started with the technology developed by the Boxue Tower.

And when Duke was bored, he also adapted a song "Take the Train to the Green Sea".

On the day of the start of the track, the invited singers, against the heavy snowflakes, sang enthusiastically at the site of the groundbreaking ceremony.

There is also a group of dancers in the back, dancing cheerfully.

"I got on the train and went to Cuihai to see the magical green banyan forest, and to see the most beautiful blowing snow pillars, blooming at the foot of Lingya Mountain."

"I got on the train and went to Cuihai, danced the enthusiastic horseback dance, drank the most fragrant barley tea, and got drunk in the Heijiao River."

The lyrics don't rhyme, and it's true that Duke didn't make them — and he didn't sign them.

However, the song is catchy, at least the crowd who braved the heavy snow to come to watch, watching the beautiful dance, listening to the chorus of the singers, feeling extraordinarily up.

"Lord Duke, we know that the railroad was your idea, do you think the railroad can become the main means of transportation for the Seven Towers Federation?" A reporter from the Seven Towers Daily in Cuihai City followed Duke for an interview.

The snow was falling, and Duke's hair was already a little white.

He did not run the vindictive spirit and evaporate the snow, but enjoyed the most direct intimacy of nature, and responded indifferently: "I believe that rail transportation will definitely become an important mode of transportation in the future, and people will soon adapt to it, and they will use rail trains for daily travel and cargo transportation." ”

"It is said that you gave up the patent registration and fully contributed the railtrain technology to the Seven Towers Federation Erudite Tower?"

"I am a prophet in the field of erudition, and I believe that it is incumbent upon me to guide the development of technology, especially those that are beneficial to people's livelihoods." Duke smiled and repeated the same old tune, "I was born in a small border town, and I understand the difficulty of people getting around, so I hope that the railroad can improve that." ”

Not far away.

On the side of the auditorium for the groundbreaking ceremony, Kiria Futao lifted the hood of the Offa robe and put it on her head, revealing only a warm cheek.

A shallow smile: "He's handsome, isn't he, Winona." ”

Winona Firefly, who was also wearing an arcane robe on the side, was as tall as Kiria, but more slender, and nodded in response, "Yes, Lord Duke is very handsome." ”

Then he said in a tone of adoration: "He seems to be glowing, those great technologies, that is, the light source, he ...... Master Duke can do anything! ”

After speaking.

Thinking that Duke's genuine girlfriend was by his side, he was a little embarrassed, and two red clouds quickly appeared on his face.

Kiria said indifferently: "Some people used to call him the son of the sun, but I know that he is the sun itself. ”

"The sun?" Winona looked at Duke cutting the ribbon in the snow.

Even in plain clothing, he is still the undoubted focal point, as dazzling as the sun, warm and sharp.

Kiria glanced at Winona, who was distracted, and smiled lightly.

Then he gently hummed the song he had just sung: "Take the train to Cuihai and go to see the magical green banyan forest......"
