Studying Science in the Alternate World Chapter 126

  Chapter 126 The Ancient Spirit

   A sweet dream.

  Duke was served by the waiter in the arcanist hall, changed into a brand new arcanist robe, and enjoyed a rich breakfast.

   "During the past six months, you can stay in the arcanist hall at any time, and all usage is free." Director Philibel, who was already sitting on the table, read the newspaper, "This is the benefit of the new arcanist, don't miss it."

   "Understood, Director Philibel."

   "I'm old enough to be your grandma, but I would rather you call me Sister Feili." Philibel is estimated to be sixty years old, her hair is still black, but her face is quite wrinkled.

  Duke is kind and generous: "Okay, Sister Feili."

   "Listen to what you said yesterday, are you planning to find a house today?"

   "No, I'm planning to go back to Snakehead Town, I have some things to settle there." He needs to bring his little bag and chicken.

  Philipel nodded and said: "I will accompany you to Snakehead Town, and reward the Magic Spirit Society in Snakehead Town by the way. Regardless of whether it matters or not, the birth of an arcanist in Snakehead Town will have a contribution from the Magic Spirit Society."

   Immediately, Philibel added: "Also, there is no need to buy a ticket. Tomorrow we will take His Excellency Alucci's airship."

   "Your Excellency Orucci also has an airship?"

   "Of course, he is a 3-ring arcane mage. There is no 3-ring arcane mage who can't buy an airship. You can remember this sentence."

   Sure enough, after breakfast, Philibel got the key to the airship from Orucci. As a 3rd-ring arcane mage, Orucci has his own exclusive mage tower outside the city, and the airship is also docked near the mage tower.

   There is a distance of more than ten kilometers from the Faling Pagoda in the inner city to the Oruchi Mage Tower outside the city.

   "Take the shuttle." Philibel said.

  The basement of Faling Pagoda is the parking lot for shuttles and cars. A group of people came to a silver-white drop-shaped shuttle.

   There is already someone waiting beside the shuttle, and it is a handsome man.

   "Director Feili, Mr. Duke." The man bowed slightly and opened the car door.

   "He is my nephew Phillips, a great knight, and now serves as my driver." Philibel introduced.

   "Hello, Phillips Knight."

  The shuttle is compact in appearance but has a large space. It can accommodate seven or eight people inside. Duke and Philibel sit in the wide middle seat.

  Other entourage can only go to the front row or the back row to squeeze.

  These entourage, in addition to Phillips, a 1st-ring knight, there are three other knights, all of which are Philibel's accompanying bodyguards, protecting her basic necessities of life.

  The power supply of the spirit card is silent.

  The arcane disk at the bottom of the flying shuttle was activated, and a strong jet airflow supported the shuttle steadily. Because it was an arcane airflow, after supporting the flying shuttle, the wind quietly annihilated without making any noise.

  Like a ghost aircraft, the shuttle flew out of the basement without making any sound.

  Come to the street and quickly shuttle close to the ground.

   "Want to drink a glass of red wine?" Philibel took out a bottle of red wine from the middle armrest and shook it. "The shuttle is very stable and does not hinder drinking."

   "No."

  Duke doesn't like drinking.

   Seeing this, Philibel stuffed the red wine back, continued to chat with Duke, and soon arrived at the Oruchi Mage Tower outside the city.

  A shriveled airship was parked within the courtyard wall of the Mage Tower.

   "Auluqi Mage Tower - Meandering."

  The steward of the Mage Tower waited long ago, and when Philibel handed over the key, several great knights belonging to the Mage Tower took the keys and started to start the airship.

  The originally shriveled airship was filled with air in an instant.

   "Let's go, let's go up." Philibel took Duke and boarded the lower cabin of the airship, which was as luxurious as a five-star hotel.

  In addition to the big knight, there are dozens of ordinary waiters on the airship.

  Chefs, bartenders, musicians, masseuses, etc. are all available; constant temperature air-conditioning, slide theaters, and more.

   For Duke, this is not a vehicle at all, but a mobile palace.

   "Luxury!"

   Eating the exquisite freshly made snacks, Duke couldn't help feeling emotional.

  I originally thought that although this world has extraordinary power, it is not very modernized, and the spiritual enjoyment is definitely not as good as that of the earth. Only now do I realize that I am watching the sky from the bottom of a well. The development of spiritual mysticism shows another kind of scientific and technological style.

  The speed of the airship is not too fast. Looking at the scenery through the porthole, except for Shenjiao City, which has been blowing black smoke outside, it is all a beautiful scene.

  Long endless farm orchards, undulating hills and hills, and winding rivers and lakes.

  As the airship continues to advance along the route, the landscape on the ground becomes more and more primitive.

   You can even see spirit beasts preying in the dense jungle, maybe they found the airship above, a yellow leopard stood on a big rock, grinning at the airship.

  "The Seven Towers Federation rules a vast land, but the territory suitable for our habitat is a small point. Shenjiao City is a small point, and Sheshou Town is also a small point. In addition, there are lines connecting the small points. These routes are also under our control."

   Philibel said.

  Duke nodded: "I have seen the map, the real living area of ​​the Seven Towers Federation looks like a huge spider web."

   "Yes, the nodes of this spider web are mouthfuls of spiritual springs."

   "I read in the book that there is an ancient spirit in the spiritual fountain. What is that?" Duke asked his own doubts.

  From the book, he saw that the ancient spirit was recorded, and the grandma in Xiaoji's mouth seemed to be an ancient spirit as well.

  "A creature living in the spiritual spring, with a long memory, is inferred to be a creature that died in ancient times."

   "What is that?"

   "You can understand it as... a kind of amber."

   "Amber?"

   "That's right, amber wraps small bugs, which can keep them from decaying for thousands of years. The spiritual spring can also wrap the creatures of the ancient times, together with their souls, and finally form the ancient spirits. A magical but sad creature."

  The magic lies in the immortality for thousands of years, and the tragedy lies in the inseparable spiritual spring.

   "The ancient spirits should be wise, have they lived for so many years?" Duke continued to ask.

   "Time is enough for it to produce wisdom. In fact, if you can get the favor of an ancient spirit, it's like owning a book of arcana."

"Why?"

   "There are not so many reasons, Duke, you will naturally understand after you get it." Philibel smiled and did not answer.

  Duke asked: "Then do you have the ancient spirit?"

   "I, haha, I have only seen it but never owned it. The ancient spirits are too precious, they were all taken away by those towering mage towers."

   "The mage tower is taken away? Isn't it unable to leave the spiritual spring?"

   "There is no absolute thing in the world, especially for us Arcane Masters, you will soon understand this, spirituality... can solve everything."
