In the sea of spirits, there are many visions.

Xiao Yi manipulated the boiling spiritual energy to clean up the inky ice flowers that flooded the entire spiritual sea. These ink-colored ice flowers are all decaying spirits, and through the casting of the Sinking Demon and the help of spiritual projections, they create a nightmare space in Duke's spiritual sea.

When the inky ice flowers dissipated, the Spirit Sea returned to the bright background of the night sky, and the seven small black dots in it were particularly conspicuous.

Having lost the protection of the decaying spirit, the seven small black dots soon revealed their original form.

Turned into seven sinking demon clones, black smoke billowing from his body, white bones in the smoke, and green ghost fire flickering in the holes in his eyes.

The upper and lower jaws open and close, and there is a silent roar.

It's a pity that no matter how much they struggle, it can't help, Linghai is under Xiaoyi's absolute control at the moment, and the seven sinking demon clones are firmly locked.

"Master, among the Sinking Demon clones, there are four 5-ring clones and three 6-ring clones."

"Happiness!"

Duke laughed and credited seven Doom clones at once, which meant that he was given seven additional slots.

It's a pity that it's not the basic slots of the first ring track and the second ring track - to build a forbidden system, the slots of the first ring track, the second ring track, and the third ring track are the most critical, because the slots they provide are really limited.

"Anyway, with these additional slots, I don't need to wait to be promoted to Sky Arcane Mage, and I can start building the 7-Ring Forbidden Technique-Radiant Sword, and the 7-Ring Forbidden Technique-Long Wind Thousand Miles!"

Duke was sure that the Sinking Demon clone had been destroyed, and withdrew from the Spirit Sea with a good mood of great repair.

Still in her bedroom at Oaktooth Hill Castle, Kiria Fury still had a quiet smile and hadn't woken up from her sleep yet.

The indiscriminate bombardment in the billowing black smoke just now seemed to be just a traceless spring dream.

"Honey, why did you wake up so early." Duke's movement woke Kiria Fury, "It's not dawn yet." ”

"You go back to sleep, baby."

Duke leaned against the head of the bed, silently pondering.

The Doomed Clones brought about by the Nightmare Invasion were certainly a great remedy, but as the excitement wore off, he began to wonder why he had suffered a second Nightmare Invasion.

The first time I was invaded by Nightmares was because I had just been promoted to the Arcane of the Earth, and my foundation was unstable, which attracted the attention of the Fallen Demon.

So why this time?

"It must have something to do with Andrei Evening Primrose's death, but after Andrei Evening Primrose died, I seem to be very low-key, saying that if I don't go to the Alpha Holy City, I won't go to the Alpha Holy City, everything is done in a doppelganger, will this also provoke the Sinking Demon?"

Duke couldn't understand: "Or is it André Evening Primrose here, the Sinking Demon who originally attacked him, now with his death, there is nothing to do." So they all turned their guns around and started looking for my stubble...... It seems understandable, after all, I'm too dazzling. ”

The Devil of Destruction is a slave to spirits.

Spirituality is just a primitive energy, and there is no distinction between good and evil, so it can not only nourish all things in heaven and earth, but also breed sinking demons.

The target of the Sinking Demon is basically the arcane mage who has exposed his flaws.

It's like a fly that doesn't bite an egg, and if an arcane mage's twisted ring becomes flawed, the heart may be lost, and it will attract the attack of the Fallen Demon. Trying to pollute and degenerate the arcane mages into a new demon of destruction, and along with them into a decaying spirit.

For example, Andre Evening Primrose failed to attack the 9th Ring of the Sun, and when the Twisted Ring went wrong, he was often attacked by the Sinking Demon.

Now that Andrea Evening Primrose has died, the Demons of Doom have lost their purpose.

And there is no more suitable target, so they can only retreat to the next best thing, attacking the most shining being of the spiritual arcane.

Rotten spirituality and spiritual mysteries are two sides of the same coin.

"As the saying goes, opposites attract, my achievements in the spiritual arcane system, cause me to be as conspicuous as a torch in the night in the perception of the demons of destruction...... That's why the Demon of Perdition, hiding in the shadows, will come to attack me from time to time! ”

Thinking of this, Duke was extremely glad that he had decided not to settle in the Archam Holy City, but to live in Cuihai City.

Otherwise, it would not be the nightmare invasion of the Sinking Demon clone, but the attack of the Sinking Demon itself.

"Although I have a moonlight cage to defend myself and a dream of stars to hide, it is definitely not a good thing to be in the danger of being assassinated by the Sinking Demon at all times."

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet.

Duke was shocked and felt a little afraid, if one day he was careless and was successfully assassinated by the Sinking Demon, then he would really have to be selected into the Valhalla Temple in advance and accept the admiration and worship of all the people.

"Of course."

Duke thought of another possibility: "It is not known that among the stars, there may be someone who is in touch with the Sinking Demon...... After all, not every star is convinced that I am in a high position at a young age. ”

"Sodick Pioneer Eye, Peroc Green Fox, Weasley......" he pronounced three names.

Sodick Vanguard Eye is the Warden of the Chilling Realm, Peroc Green Fox is the Executive Director of the Elemental Tower, and Weasley is the Legion Leader of the Second Legion of Arcane Aid, a member of the Council of Stars, and a Mentor of the 7-Ringed Morning Star Arcane.

Duke believes that the three stars are most likely to collude with the Fallen Demon.

The reason is simple.

In the last meeting that elected Duke as a full member of the Stars Conference, only three voted against out of forty-eight votes.

It was these three stars who voted against it.

"I am the Seven Sages of the Five Rings Prophet, and I have made an unparalleled contribution to the spiritual mysteries, and those who oppose me naturally belong to the opposite of the spiritual mysteries!" Duke was going to turn back and have Sel'thas keep an eye on the three stars.

Once you find out the evidence that the other party is colluding with the Sinking Demon.

He asked the Council of Stars to intervene and execute the three stars.

If the Stars Council can't make a valid decision, then after he is promoted to the Stars, he will take matters into his own hands and kill the three of them.

All in all, whoever wants Duke to die, Duke will let him die.

……

The Intermediate Replica Ring was cast quickly, and on January 8, the battleship Triple Ring flew to the Orfa Holy City with Duke's Intermediate Replica Ring.

Duke had already experimented with it before.

A mid-level clone activated by an intermediate replication ring, which can last up to twenty minutes without unleashing the arcane. The intermediate replication ring cast by Sukhtara and others can only last for about fifteen minutes at most, and the gap is obvious.

I have to say that in the design and development of Austrian weapons, Xiaoyi, who has supercomputing power, is a master.

It is not easy for ordinary arcane mages to design the spell model of the arcane weapon completely, let alone set the spell model to the most perfect state.

Only Duke, with the assistance of Xiaoyi, can strive to reach the limit of the spell model.

Sending away the intermediate replication ring, the Wind Breath Field has begun to hold an enlarged meeting to elect a candidate for the Speaker. Under the influence of Duke and Loren Sankagome, after repeated discussions, Selsath was successfully selected as a candidate.

"The field candidate is not the final candidate, and it will still be selected by the Star Meeting, but with your help, at least in the field selection, Sel'thas is far ahead."

Loren Sankagome's Sky Replica Ring is also in the Duke Sage Mage Tower, so he often descends on the Sky Clone to chat with Duke for a while.

Duke smiled, "I don't have much to do with the other Hui Yue, but in short, I am 100% supportive of Lord Serthas. ”

"Lord Sel'thas has a good chance of winning."

"I hope so."

"Society has been developing dramatically in the past decade, but the number of members of the stars has decreased by two, and I don't know when it will be filled." Loren Sankagome lamented that the former Grit Realm Keeper had degenerated Miguil into a demon of destruction, leaving one less star.

Now that Andrei Evening Primrose has died, there is one less star.

However, he quickly said happily: "I don't dare to say anything else, but soon you can really become a member of the stars, and the 8-ring moon is also ironclad...... Now my biggest expectation is whether I can see you succeed in hitting the 9th ring day before the deadline comes. ”

"It's too early to say this, but I'm going to try to make it happen as soon as possible." Duke replied confidently.

Loren Sankagome is 260 years old.

According to the lifespan of the 7-ringed morning star, there are at least a hundred years left to live.

Duke doesn't know if he can hit the 9th Ring Sun in 100 years, but it is definitely no problem to hit the 7th Ring Morning Star in 100 years. If there is a major opportunity in the middle, it may not be impossible to cast an unparalleled history, and the success of the 9 rings before the age of 100 years.

After all.

The practice of other arcane masters is really one step at a time, crossing the river by feeling the stones.

But from the moment he first opened the Spirit Sea, the orbit of the Ninth Ring had already opened around the Spirit Core, which meant that there were no shackles within the Nine Rings.

Even if you boil it, you can survive until the nine rings.

"You are the prophet of the five rings, and your contribution to the spiritual arcane law is huge, and when you go through the chapter of the stars and the moon phases in the future, it will be absolutely smooth, and only the chapter of the crown sun can cause you some trouble." There was some envy in Loren Sankagomy's tone.

The practice of spiritual mystery is the practice of cognition.

Therefore, the higher the academic achievement, the higher the peak that can be climbed in the future, and Duke, as a sage of the time, will naturally be expected by countless people.

After chatting for a while, Loren Sankagome took his leave.

Two days later.

As agreed, Duke traveled to the Snow Shirt Palace to spend ten days with his wife, Princess Tiffany, and watch the snow fall in the north.

After the Star Mark in Duke is fully charged, he bids farewell to Princess Tiffany and returns to Cuihai City.

Meanwhile.

After more than 10 days of nomination, the list of candidates for the speaker of the upper house in 12 fields has been freshly released.

Serzas was in first place, Timirasu Aeolus was second, Sylvester was third, and Zidle Awake was fourth. As for the other Radiant Moons, Zambrotta did not have the title of Prophet, Sarirang was older than Serthas, and Lambert Raven was the youngest and the least qualified, so he was not promoted.

United to the Tower, the meeting room of the stars.

Outside the window, the clouds were shrouded, the interior was lush with greenery, and the replica rings were backed against the wall, some not yet activated, others humming.

"Ahem." Zambrotta looked at everyone majestically, "Without further ado, let's start today's meeting and elect the Speaker." Everyone has read the list of candidates in the twelve fields and knows what they want, so we will speak freely. ”

Without a pause, he continued: "I personally elected Sylvester to serve as the adjudication committee for many years, and his prestige is enough to convince the public, and his ability does not need to be mentioned. ”

Silvestre, who was the chairman of the Observation Tower's adjudication committee, nodded slightly to Zambrotta.

The power structure of the Federation of the Seven Towers is dominated by the stars.

Among the stars, there are two groups: the bright moon and the morning star.

Hui Yue is equivalent to the top leadership class, and in the era of Andrei Primrose, it was roughly divided into the framework of six speakers and two towers.

The Speakers of the Six Congresses.

They are the Chair of the Standing Council of the United Tower, André Primrose, the Enlarged Council of the United Tower, the Speaker Zambrotta, the Offata Adjudication Committee, the Chairman of the Offata Adjudication Committee, the Elemental Tower Mobilization Committee, Timirasu Wind, the Chair of the Observation Tower's Adjudication Committee, and the Superior Review Council of the Erudite Tower.

Whether it's a meeting of the stars, an enlarged meeting, or a few committees, they are all higher levels than the seven towers.

It's just that if it's set up in a certain tower, it will bear the name of a certain tower.

And the two main towers.

It is Zidle Awakening, the chief consul of the Union Tower, and Lambert Raven, the chief governor of the observation tower.

Zambrotta continued: "I elected Sylvester for another reason, and that is that after Sylvester is elected Speaker, the Observation Tower's adjudication committee can be handed over to Lambert Raven to take over, and the Observation Tower's chief council member will be demoted to Morning Star. ”

The chief position of the Seven Towers, also known as the head of the tower, is obviously inferior to the six speakers. It's just that there are currently two tower leaders who are Huiyue, so they can be ranked alongside the six speakers.

Once the head of the tower is changed to the Morning Star, the status naturally returns to normal.

After Zambrotta finished speaking, many of the stars nodded, seemingly agreeing with Zambrotta's statement.

"I nominate Zidler Awakening." The Commander of the First Legion of Arcane Aid, Hamilton Phantom Dragon, followed suit, "Chief Governor Zidler, who has been in charge of the United Tower for many years, and has been conducting all affairs at home and abroad in an orderly manner......

"I nominate Timirasu Aeolus ......"

The stars quickly began to express their opinions, and an hour passed in a flash, and many of the four candidates had support.

Zambrotta glanced around the conference room, then at Duke, "Duke, you haven't said anything yet. ”

"Yes." Duke nodded.

"You've been to the Stars meeting a few times, and the style of the meeting is always the same, so you have to get used to it as soon as possible. It's up to you to advise. Zambrotta said directly.

Duke did not shirk, and quickly spoke: "I recommend Sersas, the reason is very simple, the age of Dongwei spirituality is coming, the development of society is particularly fierce, we have to face a turbulent era, and the study of naturalism is very important. ”

Glancing at the old god in Serthas, Duke continued: "Chairman of the Council of Serthas, who has devoted himself to the development of naturalism for many years, so I think that having him as Speaker of the House of Lords is a perfect complement to the age of the Cave Spirit. ”

With that, Duke leaned back in his chair and said no more.

Serthas nodded to him, and he only responded faintly.

After another ten minutes, Duke's earth clone was almost up to time, and finally there were no stars to speak again.

It seemed to notice that Duke's doppelganger had not had enough time, and Zambrotta, who presided over the meeting, did not talk nonsense, and directly signaled to the secretary general of the Stars Conference, Tyral, to distribute the ballots: "Four candidates, each choose one for the right choice and one for the candidate." ”

The positive selection gets three points, the alternative gets one point, and in the end, whoever has the highest score will come to power.

It seems to be sloppy, but it is actually sloppy, but at this stage of the Stars Meeting, it doesn't matter whether it is hasty or not.

In fact, the four Huiyue candidates, who serves as the Speaker, the Seven Towers Federation will not be able to take the wrong path, after all, the real power of this country is not in the hands of a single Speaker, but in the hands of all the stars.

Once Duke got the ballot, he ticked off the name of Serthas without saying a word, and then lingered on the names of the other three for a few seconds.

Then, Lambert Raven was selected as an alternative.

He and Zidle Xingling had studied the Lingxi projection technology together, and they were relatively familiar. But compared to Lambert Raven, who has always supported him, the little friendship with Zidley Awakening is not enough, and Duke has a clear heart.

Once the tick is complete and the ballot is handed to Tyral, Duke's Earth clone quickly shatters.

"Whew."

Consciousness returned to his true body, and Duke stood up from the sofa chair: "I have done everything I can, and then I can wait for the results." ”

Didn't make people wait.

A moment later, Duke received a first-hand answer from the messenger of the United Tower, Mosborne Fire Goat: "My lord, the meeting of the stars has just ended, and Lord Sel'thas has been elected as the new president of the executive council. ”

"I see."

"In addition, tomorrow will be elected the new position of Chairman of the Supreme Audit Committee of the Erudite Tower, please arrive at the Stars Conference Room on time at nine o'clock in the morning."

"Okay."

It was not a surprise that Duke was elected Speaker, and even without his momentum, Selthas would have been qualified enough to run for Speaker.

However, the news of Sersas's election as Speaker has not been announced to the public for the time being.

Waiting until the next day, the Stars Council began to nominate the chairman of the Supreme Audit Committee of the Polymath Tower, which was the position of the six speakers, and according to convention, it was difficult for non-Huiyue to hold it.

At present, outside of the six speakers, there are only Zidle Wake and Lambert Raven.

Naturally, Duke was ready to nominate Lambert Raven.

However, as Zambrotta continued to preside over the meeting, Sersas, who had been elected but had not yet taken office, immediately advised: "The old man thinks that Duke is the right person for the chairmanship of the Supreme Council, in all respects. ”

He looked around and further added: "Although Duke's cultivation has not yet reached the stars, he opened the era of Dongwei Spirituality, and the future era of Dongwei Spirituality still needs to be led by him to a more brilliant era." ”

There was a pause.

Serthas said something else: "Besides, the will of the stars has also chosen Duke to create a new era......

As soon as he said this, the stars quickly remembered.

In the past, after Duke opened the will of the stars, he was also enlightened, and the goddess Nyx asked him to let go of it. While this is not enlightenment in the traditional sense, the enlightenment of the goddess Nyx seems to be increasingly valuable given the spiritual arcane achievements created by Duke.

Five Rings Prophet Seven Sages.

The stars looked at each other, all acknowledging the enlightenment of Goddess Nyx at that time, and a sage like Duke was indeed worth letting him go.

"I agree with it." Lambert Raven nodded slightly, echoing.

"Ahem, I think His Excellency Zidle Xingling is more suitable to take over the post of chairman of the Supreme Committee." Sodick Vanguard spoke.

For a moment, Duke looked at Serthas.

Serthas glanced back at Duke as well, and gave him a faint glance, signaling that everything was under his control.

Duke is confronted by a second wave of Nightmares, and he only tells Serthas.

No one noticed the eye contact between the two, and Sodick Pioneer Eye was still talking: "The Speakers of the Six Congresses, not only their status, but also their heavy responsibilities. Duke Prophet's ability is certainly competent, but his cultivation is poor after all. ”

As he spoke, he smiled at Duke and said that he was just talking about things.

He continued: "The duration of the doppelganger is too short, and the official duties of the prophet and the stars are too short, and it is inevitable that the supreme council will be neglected...... Therefore, it is better to ask His Excellency Zidle Awakening to serve as him. ”

When he finished speaking, many stars nodded their heads.

It does make a lot of sense.

Dean Frannie Sand Duck of the Spirit Plant Research Institute suddenly laughed and said, "I think that the doppelganger or something doesn't have that much impact. Whether it's an earth clone or a sky clone, time is not taken from the real body, twenty-four hours a day, no more, no less. ”

"That's true, we often activate the clone, and it's just a meeting to sign a document." Dunn Dragoon Lance followed.

Immediately, there was a Torrent Realm town guard, and Marsis teased: "Dean Dunn, you are indeed not busy, but the clones I wait for are always busy with various affairs. ”

"Why am I not busy?"

"Busy attacking the 4-Ringed Dragon Knight?"

"Maersis, I see that you have an opinion on the old horseman, you were also an old horse in the past, and now you have refined the sea of blood into an arcane weapon, I'm afraid you regret it in your heart!"

"What's there to regret about this, even if you keep the sea of blood, it will be difficult to impact the dragon knight, why not cast it into an arcane weapon."

"When you say that, it means that you really regret it!" Dunn Dragoon snorted, "The old man often exchanges blood sea cultivation experience with Prophet Duke, and in a few years, maybe he will be able to break through the 4-ring dragon knight, and then you will envy it!" ”

"Hehe, I'll be envious? Joke! ”

"Enough!" On the main seat, Zambrotta scolded, "Now the theme of the meeting is to elect the chairman of the Supreme Council, and nonsense is prohibited on irrelevant topics!" ”

Dunn Dragoon and Marses each snorted and stopped arguing.

The other stars who watched the quarrel with relish suddenly felt disappointed, and each leaned back in his chair and deserted.

Meeting style, always.

"I elect Lambert Raven...... "Someone else has begun to propose a third candidate.

In the end, it was basically concentrated on Duke, Zidle Awakening, and Lambert Raven, who were not the head of state, and there was no need to hold an enlarged meeting, so Zambrotta directly asked Secretary General Tyral to make the ballot.

"I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense, just today, just now, directly select the chairman of the Supreme Committee, and tomorrow announce it to the outside world together with the speaker of the upper council."

Tyral, who is also a star, is used to handling ballot chores, so he skillfully pulls out a large pile of blank ballots and begins to produce ballots in the form of a contract.

The idle and bored stars began to whisper again.

"The Speaker has been in a bad temper lately." Frannie Sand Duck sat next to Duke, turned her head, and said in a gossipy tone, "I see, I received the stimulus of the position of Speaker of the Lords, tsk, it's just that if you can't be elected, you don't even have a candidate." ”

"Not really."

"How could it be, in the bright moon, everyone has the title of prophet, and whoever lacks it is embarrassed." Frannie Sand Duck said, and another gossip broke out, "Actually, the seniority of the Speaker of the Lower Council, Offata was originally going to add him as a prophet of the elemental realm. ”

"Then why not him?" Duke asked curiously.

Frannie Sand Duck glanced at Timirasu Aeolus in the distance of the conference table and whispered, "Because His Excellency Timirasu suddenly rose to prominence at that time, Zambrotta took the initiative to withdraw from the supplement in order to highlight the pattern and demeanor, so that His Excellency Timirasu could obtain the title of Prophet of the Elemental Realm. ”

"Well, I see." Duke nodded faintly.

I can't help but take a closer look at Timirasu Anemo, the young Radiant Moon who also opened the will of the stars a hundred years ago.

It can be regarded as Duke's predecessor.

Even in the eyes of many people, Timirasu Fengshen is expected to succeed Andrea Evening Primrose and become the second Tianzong talent to hit the 9th Ring Sun.

It's a pity that there are more Duke in this era, and in just over ten years, all the limelight has been stolen by Duke. Speaking of the impact of the 9th Ring Day, everyone began to look forward to Duke, as if they had forgotten their previous expectations of Timirasu Fengshen.

As if sensing Duke's gaze, Timirasu Aeolus, who was sitting quietly in the distance, turned his head and glanced at Duke.

There was only depth in his eyes, and nothing else.

Then, Timirasu Aeolus smiled slightly, and responded to Duke.

Duke also smiled slightly, the two generations of Star Will Openers were not familiar with each other, after all, one was an arcane master and the other was an arcane scholar, and they took different routes.
