Chapter 356: The Stars Fall
The performance of the Knight Mecha Prototype No. 1 was an unsurprising success.
Agile as a knight's mecha action, furious as an arcane mage's arcane spell casting ability. All let the combat power of the knight mecha catch up with the Sky Arcane Mage.
"It can be further optimized." Duke piloted the Knight Mecha Prototype No. 1 and returned to the warehouse of the mecha playground, and said to Dean Joseph, who was observing the mecha closely, "It has greater combat potential than airships and warships at this stage. β
"I see it, Chairman Duke." Josel nodded in response, "Indeed, its potential is infinitely vast. β
"Can an arcane mage also control a mech?"
"Of course, the power of the three seas is just a way to control the mecha, the spiritual energy of the arcane mage, and the qi of all things of the qi refiner can replace the fighting qi and control the mecha."
"That's good, the presence of the mech, will greatly strengthen our dominance over the habitat. However, I think the mecha must be limited and use the power of contract to guide the pilot, otherwise the destructive power caused will not end. β
"Your proposal is good, Dean Joseph, and the driver naturally wants to sign the contract." Duke nodded.
The mecha is so powerful that even if it is just a prototype mecha, you can still feel the combat power that is so powerful that it transcends the level gap.
An ordinary big knight, driving a mecha, has the combat power of the Sky Arcane Mage, which is simply an incredible thing - of course, the Sky Arcane Mage has built a forbidden magic system, and has the help of arcane weapons, which is much more flexible than the mecha.
One-on-one, the mecha will definitely be dismantled into a pile of scum by the Sky Arcane Mage.
However, the combat power output of the mecha, especially in the face of spirit beasts and the like, is definitely not inferior to that of the Sky Arcane Mage.
All in all.
The appearance of mecha will change the current cultivation system.
In the past, the combat effectiveness of the monks was attributed to the monks themselves, but now the combat effectiveness of the monks may have to rely on the power of equipment.
From lightsabers to mechs, this is a huge qualitative change.
"The combat effectiveness of the mecha can break through ...... Is it a star? Joseph was learning more about the data of the knight mecha when he suddenly asked a new question.
"Stars," Duke shook his head...... "I don't know. β
Joseph sighed with emotion: "Now it seems that it is difficult for the mecha to break through the strength limit of the Great Ao Mage, because the stars are another level of life. But with the update and iteration of the light brain, the magic power of the stars may also be simulated through the light brain......"
Duke Moran.
In fact, Joseph's judgment was very accurate.
In Duke's heart, he has long had a plan for the Star Mecha, after all, Xiaoyi has already begun to study the super forbidden ring structure, and after Duke is promoted to the stars, he can start to study the super ring structure. When the time comes, the secrets of the supernatural powers will be laid out at a glance.
The optical core continues to iterate, and one day, it will be able to handle the superring structure.
At that time, the supernatural power of the stars can be reproduced on the mecha, so that the mecha has combat power comparable to that of the stars.
"I can't say exactly, but I'm looking forward to it." Duke gave Joseph a blueprint, "If the combat power of the stars can be continuously amplified through the mecha, maybe there will be no danger in the Wild Continent that can stop us." β
"Yes, if the stars drive the star mecha, the combat power will continue to expand, and the scars of the earth may be swept away by us."
"I haven't asked yet, have you been exploring the earth scars lately, have you been going well?"
"It's a bit bumpy." Joseph sighed, "The scars of the earth are connected deep underground, we can't find the essence of the gods, the ruins are constantly changing, and even encountered serious crises several times. So far, nothing has been found. β
During this time, Duke was also in contact with a lot of first-hand information about the gods.
I roughly understand why the stars are searching for the scars of the earth, in addition to wanting to prevent the breath of the gods from escaping, the biggest advantage is that they can get extraordinary benefits from the ruins.
In the jargon of the stars.
The devouring of the fountain of spirituality is a decomposition of the spiritual arcane, and the power of decomposing the spiritual arcane into the most basic rules.
The power of these rules will be presented in different ways, perhaps as an opportunity, as some kind of supernatural power, or as a secret method of cultivation.
All in all, exploring the relics of the gods is like opening a blind box.
Maybe it's empty, maybe the next box contains all the experience and opportunities of the Corona Chapter.
"So, exploring the ruins of the gods is like opening the will of the stars?" Duke asked.
Joseph spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "The old man doesn't have the demeanor of you and Timirasu Fengshen, and he can get the opportunity to open the will of the stars, so I don't know what the enlightenment of the will of the stars is, you should ask Timirasu Fengshen." β
"I don't know him well." Duke told the truth.
Timirasu Anemo is an arcane master who has never been involved in the study of spiritual arcane, only studying arcane and forbidden arts.
So there is very little contact with Duke.
"Well, you should have a common language, you see, the arcane you cast on the mech, this is undoubtedly an important application in the elemental realm. And......" Joseph paused, then continued, "as far as I know, the Arcane Academy is ready to nominate you as an Elemental Sage. β
"Elect me?" Duke was surprised.
"Yes, the discovery of the Spirit Shadow Element, the application of the Ring of Energy, makes it impossible for the Arcane Research Institute to ignore your promotion and development of the elemental realm."
Although the elemental field mainly studies arcane and forbidden arts, it is also a kind of research on spiritual particles, and the spirit shadow element is a kind of spiritual particle, and fission reaction and fusion reaction are all important explorations of spiritual particles.
So.
From this point of view, it is obviously a matter of course for Duke to obtain the title of Elemental Sage.
Joseph casually explained, "The reason why they dragged on was mainly because the previous elemental sages had improved and innovated the arcane and forbidden arts. And what you are studying is the spirit element, which may have something to do with arcane and forbidden arts, but it has little to do with it. β
The Elemental Realm has always been a relatively separate realm.
And it's basically contracted by the Arcanists, and it belongs to the Arcanists' own land, but Duke is an Arcanist scholar.
"It doesn't matter, I don't care about the gain or loss of the sage title." Duke smiled slightly, he is the Seven-Ring Prophet and the Eight Sages, and the eight sage titles are no longer in the past, so what about a few more sage titles.
Besides, he was still young, and he had at least four hundred years to study.
After continuing to talk for a while, Joseph's doppelganger lasted to the end, and when he said goodbye, it shattered into a little fluorescent.
Duke continues to work on the Knight Mecha.
Through his previous piloting, he has obtained a lot of new data of the knight mecha, and after these new data are handed over to Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi will brew a more powerful mecha design scheme.
"Kerich."
"My lord, I'm here."
"Let the Phantom Beast Knight pilot test this mecha more, and when you can control it freely, we will have an academic conference, and you will explain the mecha at that time." Duke didn't mind making a name for himself as a Grey Deer, after all, he didn't care about the non-ring level achievements.
When Kerich Grey Deer heard this, he was shocked, and he was so excited that he couldn't help but say: "Big, my lord, is it appropriate for me to explain?" This is your invention, my lord, and I am only responsible for the specific work, and my colleagues work no less than me. β
He didn't make a mistake, and he knew how many pounds and taels he had.
If it weren't for Duke's design ideas and a lot of help for experiments, he wouldn't have been able to develop a mecha alone.
After all, this mecha has integrated many peak skills in the field of erudition, alchemy, formation, and puppet, and he is just a newly learned sage, and he does not play an irreplaceable role in the research and development of the mecha.
There are more than a dozen people in the mecha R&D team like him, all of whom are at the level of Grand Arcane Mage, and have the titles of sages and scholars in various fields.
"It's okay, you can explain it for me." Duke laughed.
Kerich Grey Deer did not refuse, but nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will go all out to complete the explanation of this academic conference!" β
Get Duke's support.
After that, Kerich Gray Deer did his best, and threw himself on the mecha playground 24 hours a day, repeatedly adjusting the Knight Mecha Prototype No. 1, and looking for a group of art masters to color the Knight Mecha paint.
The time lasted until December 15th, and in the mecha playground, a unique mecha academic conference was grandly held.
Live to the world.
Kerich Grey Deer hosted this academic conference with trepidation and excitement, but no matter how good he was in the presentation, he couldn't steal the limelight from the knight mecha that jumped out of the warehouse.
The Phantom Beast Knight drove the knight mecha, and under the focus of countless live broadcast cameras, he began to perform to the extreme.
This scene.
With the ring of light and faith, it spreads to thousands of households.
Then, countless people in the entire Reckless Continent were shocked by the knight mecha. Watching the knight mecha crisscross the forest, like destroying the world's combat power, I don't know how many viewers widened their eyes and how many teenagers drooled.
"Under the wise leadership of Lord Duke, the mecha has arrived!" Waiting for the knight mecha to return, Kerich Gray Deer flew onto the mecha's shoulder, looked at the live broadcast camera of the shuttle approaching, and shouted loudly, "The era of Dongwei spirituality has ushered in a new climax!" β
This launch was profound and far-reaching.
Even four months ago, Duke personally broadcast the Ring of Energy, and the influence caused by it was not as great as the influence of this mecha live broadcast.
There is no other reason.
Although the impact of the energy ring is far-reaching, the intuitive feeling is not strong, and many people do not even understand the use of the energy ring.
After all.
For most people, the spirit card is enough, and there is no need to spend a lot of money to buy any shadow card treasure.
Only the Arcans can truly comprehend the greatness of the Ring of Energy and what it can bring to the spiritual arcane.
And the mecha is different, looking at the live broadcast screen, the mecha that destroys the world, even if it picks up the tattered homeless, will shout "awesome". The knight boys are even more heart-captured, and they just want to be able to control a mecha in this life, galloping across the country.
The bottom of society is overwhelmed by mechas, and the top of society is also shocked by the power of mechas.
"The emergence of mecha is about to change the pattern of society. If a great knight can also control the mecha to defeat the wurm, then what else can stop us humans from conquering in the Wild Continent? - The columnist of the "Seven Towers Daily", Sky Arcane Mage Slime, said so in the article.
"A mecha can keep a city safe!"
"In the future, the arcane mage can stay in the rear with peace of mind, focus on the study of spiritual arcane, and leave the work of guarding the habitat to the knights." - The front page headline of the Knights.
"Mecha, will it break the balance of the human cultivation pattern?"
"The knight mecha is only the first generation of mechas, and in the future, there will be qi refiner mechas, arcane mage mechas, and the full popularization of mecha will be a major turning point in the history of human spirituality."
"The all-powerful sage of Duke has brought great works that have shocked all mankind."
Without exception, the news of discussing mechs is flying all over the sky, and as always, Duke is praised and touted.
Of course, Duke was not interviewed.
So the reporters conducted a lot of interviews with Kairich Gray Deer, which made Kairich Gray Deer feel that his life had reached its peak.
β¦β¦
December 18th.
Erudite to the Tower, all-leadership meeting.
MaderΓ³n Rhodiola presided over the meeting, which was also attended by Duke, as the chairman of the Supreme Committee of the Polymath Tower.
Also present were two other stars.
Elivan, director of the Institute of Naturalism, and Bolagu, executive vice chairman of the Supreme Council.
"Chairman, colleagues." Maderon Rhodiola has a blank face, which is his usual style, "This meeting is not about mechas, but about the architecture of the Polymath Tower. With the advent of the age of Dongwei spirituality, the study of naturalism exploded, and the Erudite Tower has been operating at full capacity......"
The Ring of Wisdom, the Ring of Light and Faith, and the Ring of Energy...... A series of technologies brought by Duke need to be promoted and developed by naturalism.
In addition, there are technologies such as sound tube trains, super light brains, lightsaber light shields, etc., which need to be studied.
The work required by the Erudite Towers has skyrocketed hundreds of times compared to a few decades ago. Even if you keep hiring, you still can't solve so much work. It even led to the management of the Arcane Master of the Erudite Tower for a time, and they didn't even have enough time to practice.
"It is imperative that a lot of trivial work be removed from the erudition tower." Maderon Rhodiola glanced at Duke.
I thought to myself, all this trouble was brought by Duke.
Then he said calmly: "Therefore, I propose that the Erudite Tower, like the Faling Pagoda, set up a knight's monastery outside to share its functions. β
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to take the opportunity to say a word." Bolagu cleared his throat and said, "The Supreme Committee is also going to set up a new organization to share the work, and now there are too many new inventions reported in the twelve fields to be too busy. β
Hearing this, Duke nodded and said, "Then let's discuss it, the times have changed, and the Erudite Tower also needs to be reformed accordingly." β
One after another, they discussed how to set up a new body to share the functions of the Erudite Tower and the Supreme Committee.
After the establishment of the Faling Tower, because there were too many knights and spirit plant envoys, and the arcane mages were arrogant, they were unwilling to let the knights and spirit plant envoys enter the tower to do business, so they simply set up a knight hermitage outside, as well as a natural hall to manage the knights and spirit plant envoys.
The Knight Monastery is at least in charge of the stars, and the Knight Monastery in various places must be under the dual jurisdiction of the Faling Pagoda and the Knight Monastery.
And the natural management is even just an attachment to the Faling Pagoda, and there is no star management.
"Either expand the recruitment, or divide the organization, my lords, in the old man's opinion, there are so many Lingxi Ao Mages, just send out all the Lingxi Ao Mages in the tower, and set up two institutions to manage the miscellaneous things in the field of erudition."
As a Sky Mage, Director Lampton suggested that he didn't think very highly of the Spirit Rhino Mage.
However, this move was not recognized by everyone, and even Duke reprimanded: "The Spirit Rhino Arcane Mage is also the Earth Arcane Mage, how can you look the other way." β
Ranbolton immediately blushed, knowing that he might have offended Duke.
As we all know, all Psio Mages have to say thank you to Duke, and he is considered Duke's most direct supporter.
Isn't it true that he despises the Spirit Rhino Mage so much, and disdains the Spirit Rhino Ring invented by Duke.
Fortunately, after decades of friendship, Lampmorton knew that Duke was a person and would not be hated for a reckless remark.
"The Institute of Naturalism can share some functions." Eleven said.
"Then expand it, and in the future, some conventional naturalist inventions will be handed over to the Naturalist Research Institute for review and liberation of the Supreme Committee." Duke made a final decision, "The Institute of Naturalism can be upgraded to the Arcane Museum, and the Arcane Museum can be built in various places to assist in the study of naturalism." β
After a pause, Duke said again: "In addition, in addition to the Erudite Tower, there is a new Arcane Technical Institute, which is responsible for promoting the new technology of spiritual Arcane, Bolagu, would you like to be the director of the Arcane Technical Academy?" β
"I do."
"Do anyone else have an opinion?"
"Nope."
Under Duke's quick knife to cut through the mess, the Erudite Tower has thus completed the complete reform, with the Supreme Committee at the top and the Arcane Museum and the Arcane Technical Institute at the lower level.
It was then sent to the Stars Meeting for discussion, and it was soon discussed and approved, and the system reform officially began.
In view of the reform of the Erudite Tower, the Faling Pagoda was also reformed subsequently, mainly to raise the status of the Natural Guild Hall and establish the Monastery of All Things in the Arcane Holy City, which corresponds to the Knight Hermitage and is responsible for the management of qi refiners.
Frannie Sand Duck, the 8-Ring Radiant Moon Arcane Mentor who served as the director of the Spirit Plant Research Institute, also served as the director of the Monastery of All Things.
She was not interested in the position of the Sixth Speaker, but was bent on establishing a more complete Qi Refiner cultivation system, so she was always studying the Qi of all things, and constantly teaching a group of talented Qi Refiners to attack to a higher level.
And she herself, in the environment where the qi of all things is thin, has vaguely reached the consummation stage of the 4-ring elf qi refining master.
It only takes one opportunity to impact the 5-ring elf qi refining master.
It must be known that Duke, who often travels through the Cold Desolate Continent to cultivate, is currently only a 5-ring elf qi refining master, and has not yet completed his cultivation.
"In the past few years, you don't seem to be paying attention to the cultivation of the qi of all things." Frannie Sand Duck's sky clone has remained in the Duke Sage Mage Tower, and when she sees Duke, she has the heart to persuade her, "I hope you can pay more attention." β
"The breath of all things is too thin, Frannie." Duke said, reminding Frannie Sand Duck that it would be a waste of time to study the Qi Refining Ring too hard.
"Although it is thin, haven't you noticed that the concentration of the qi of all things is on the rise? I have traveled to various places and explored the phantoms of ancient times, and found that the concentration of qi of all things is at least twice as high as that of the time of the bird's sky. β
"But the Bird's Sky is at least 50 million years away from us, and the concentration of the Qi of all things has only doubled in 50 million years, which is too long."
8 The lifespan of the Ring Moon Arcane Master is only four hundred and fifty years old.
In other words, in the era in which Frannie Sand Duck lived, the qi of all things would basically remain the same, and no change would be seen unless there was immortality.
Hearing this, Frannie Sand Duck frowned: "So what, maybe we can study carefully and accelerate the formation of the qi of all things." β
"Difficult."
"It's man-made."
"Okay, if you insist, I will hurry up and cultivate the Qi of All Things, and by the way, I will share my cultivation experience with you." Duke replied noncommittally, anyway, he was going to travel through the Cold Desolate Continent to do research, and his cultivation was incidental.
As the two were talking, Frannie Sand Duck's figure suddenly trembled, rippling like water waves for a moment, and became illusory.
"Duke, I'm in a hurry." With a few words, Frannie Sand Duck's figure shattered.
"It can't be that there is some danger in the remains of the earth scar, right?" Duke looked at the clone that had just arrived, and dispersed like this, and couldn't help muttering a few words.
But I didn't take it to heart.
It is also common for the real body to be interrupted.
However, the night passed, and the next day he received news that the eighteen stars, led by Serthas, may be in danger.
In the Stellar Room.
Zambrotta frowned deeply: "Since last night, Sershas and the others have not been able to contact ...... After the unanimous confirmation of the entourage, all eighteen stars and replication ring messengers were all invalid, that is, there was a situation over there. β
At first, it was just a family member of a certain star, and he was looking for his own star, but when he activated the replication ring, there was no response.
The family members of the stars didn't care, feeling that the stars were delayed.
However, I asked the family members of other stars and wanted to pass it on my behalf, only to find that the stars of other people's families could not be contacted either.
Only then did it be discovered that all eighteen stars had lost contact.
"Duke, you're closest to the Earth Scar area, so you should send someone to the battleship station to investigate some of the situation." Zambrotta said.
"Don't worry, I'll go over myself." Duke dispersed the Sky Clone.
Activated the ocean clone, directly embodied the hand of the forbidden technique, and cast the 7-ring forbidden technique-long wind thousands of miles, and arrived at the battleship station in a few steps.
The battleship was hovering on the edge of the earth's scars, and the people on the battleship were normal, but they couldn't contact the stars either.
From day to night.
All day, still can't get in touch.
"It's supposed to be just trapped, let's wait." Zambrotta was above the stars on the second day, reassuring everyone, "The stars have fallen, the heavens and the earth are sad, Duke sent people to monitor the celestial situation around the earth scar, and the second team of stars immediately set off to investigate the earth scar. β
Originally, the stars were divided into three teams, one team to replace the other.
Now it's just a matter of advancing the replacement time, if Ser'shas and the others return safely, they will naturally be happy, if there is still no news from Ser'shas and the others, then the stars will launch a rescue operation, and the stars must not be killed.
Otherwise, it would be the worst accident ever since the establishment of the Seven Towers Federation.
"It's going to be fine." Timirasu Fengshen, who led the team, said indifferently, "It is common to explore the scars of the earth and be troubled, so you can work with peace of mind and don't give birth to any chaos." β
"Still be careful." Zambrotta advised.
There are a total of fifty-five stars in the Federation, and Sel'thas and the others are trapped, which has lost a third of the stars. If Timirasu Aeolus leads the team, a third of the stars will be lost again. The Seven Towers Federation is finished, and there are eighteen stars left, which is simply not enough to support it.
"I'll get them back safely." Timirassu Aeolus replied.
Immediately, he took the seventeen stars, used his magical means, and quickly advanced in a big way, heading straight to the west of Cuihai City.
"Duke." Zambrotta looked at Duke again.
"Your Excellency, what are your commands?"
"You must not go to the earth scar in real person, you can only go as a doppelganger to deliver the news of the two places."
"Okay."
Even if Zambrotta doesn't warn him, Duke won't go in person, and the stars such as Serthas may be lost, let alone him.
No matter how careful you are with your gods, you can't be too careful.
Dispersing the clones and returning to his true body, Duke looked at the scene outside the window and pondered, "Even the stars have fallen, including the three 8-Ringed Radiant Moon Arcane Teachers...... What is the danger of the relics of the gods? β
This moment.
He is even more desperate to promote the stars.
