Studying Science in the Alternate World Chapter 184

  Chapter 184 Throughout life (three in one)

  Vivienne, who successfully broke through the 1st Ring Grand Knight, officially took up the post of Duke's guard knight captain, and began to form the guard knight team.

  When early humans first set foot on the wild continent, the Knights were the trump card on the battlefield.

  Now that the Arcane Masters are rising, the knights have relegated to the second line and become the security personnel responsible for the security of various places or guarding the Arcane Masters.

  The Cavaliers have long existed in name only, and the Cavaliers are the common standard.

   "Members of the Guarding Cavaliers can slowly search for one, and arrange to live on the tenth floor of the third building in Huanshuiyuan." Duke thought for a while and said, "As for you, you should continue to live here and listen to my arrangement at any time."

  Since she moved into Villa No. 17, Vivienne has accepted her fate, so she didn't refuse: "Yes, my lord."

  Paused, Vivian asked: "My lord, do you have any standard requirements for the selection of members of the Knight Guard?"

   "I hope the quality is higher, and the family background should be clean."

"clear."

   "Remember one thing, it's better to lack than to overuse. I don't have an urgent need to protect the Cavaliers."

"yes."

  Looking at the rigid Vivienne before he recovered, Duke said: "There is no need to be so tense in front of me, relax a little, I have no relatives, so I treat you all as my family and friends."

   "I understand your lord's kindness, but as a guard knight, you can't relax at all, and you need to stay vigilant at all times."

   It doesn't make sense to Vivian, who is sometimes stubborn.

  Duke shook his head helplessly: "Okay, whatever, but you made a breakthrough, I will give you two days off, and go home to rest."

"grown ups…"

   "Don't refuse, this is an order."

  Vivian pursed her lips: "Yes!"

  The next day Duke signaled to the driver, Royce, to take Vivienne home by the way, and then go to Penrose Master Tower.

  After Vivian got off the car, Mu Lali beat Duke's leg while whispering, "Sir, sister Vivian doesn't seem to want to go home."

   "Why?" Duke leaned on the seat, enjoying the service of the little assistant comfortably.

   "I'm not very clear, but I can feel that sister Vivienne is more resistant to the family. Maybe it's because she doesn't like her own family."

   "Really." Duke said casually.

  But he remembered that at the beginning, the assistant Vikas recommended Vivian to him as a guard knight, and he didn't seem to care about Vivian's attitude.

   And Vivienne seems to be more afraid of Vikas than family affection.

   "And speaking of it, I don't seem to have asked about Vivian's parents?" Duke thought to himself, he always thought that Vivian's family was harmonious.

  But combining some small details, it seems that this is not the case.

  So he said to Mu Lali, "How much do you know about Vivian?"

   "Not many, sir, Sister Vivienne is very boring and doesn't like to talk. When I see her, she is basically practicing."

   "Her family situation, do you know?"

   "I heard from the assistants of Vikas that the father of sister Vivienne seems to be the illegitimate son of Vikas..."

   "Huh?" Duke turned to look at Mu Lali, "Bastard child?"

   "Yes, sir, it's not uncommon for the Master Arcane Master to have one or two lovers." When Mu Lali said this, a blush appeared on her face, "Vikas is a 2-ring Arcane Master, so he should... probably have a lot of illegitimate children."

  Duke didn't say anything more. The situation of illegitimate children is indeed very common.

  The law of the Seven Towers Federation is monogamy, but it is difficult for the law to restrain the powerful, so arcanists generally have lovers.

  The great knights and envoys at the bottom also have lovers.

  At least Duke knows that Boss James has several lovers, all of whom are raised on the farm in Snakehead Town.

  Enter the Mage Tower, do experiments in the morning, and continue classes in the afternoon.

   "Okay, the 1-ring spirit storage card was successfully produced. I have already explained all the key points. You go back and think about my card-making process, and you have to figure out the rest." Vikas guided and handed the 1-ring spirit storage card to Duke.

  Duke got up and thanked: "Thank you for your teaching, and I wasted your time for another afternoon."

   "I'm an assistant to a tutor, and teaching belongs to my scope of work, so you don't need to be so polite with me. But you, work and study are too tight. You have to learn from Sanfiz. He sneaks out to socialize when he has time."

   "Compared with communication, I prefer to study card making." Duke smiled and left the office.

  Going back to his office, he checked the time, and there was still an hour before he got off work, so he continued to practice blank spirit cards.

   "Xiaoyi, report the progress!"

   "Good master...Process three: the production of the first-ring storage card, the research and development consumes 26% of the power. The current research and development progress is 97%, and the time budget is 3 days."

   "Yes, keep working hard, three days later it will be time to accept the results!"

   Putting aside some distracting thoughts, Duke focused on making the 1-ring spiritual storage card. Three days passed in a flash, and it was still this office.

  Duke put a new blank spiritual card into the ring presser.

  Irrigation and spiritual canals have been completed, and the spliced ​​blank spiritual cards are suitable for card making. Xiaoyi quickly calculates. On the vindictive holographic screen, it shows the detailed projection of the magic model of the storage card and the energy line of each stroke.

  He held the psychic pen, took a deep breath, and cooperated with Xiaoyi to start drawing energy lines.

  One stroke is connected with one stroke, the energy lines are fused in the force field of the ring presser, and then compressed into the central area of ​​the card material by the ring presser,

  After a few strokes, the card core has been determined.

  The card making process is progressing smoothly. Duke is constantly adjusting his technique, and Xiaoyi is also constantly assisting in calculations, constantly adjusting the accuracy of the spell model.

  One person, one machine, maintained a high degree of concentration, and completed more than 80% of the energy line drawing without knowing it.

   "Xiaoyi, it's a critical moment again. This time, let's try not to lose the chain."

   "Good master."

   A few more strokes fell, and the energy line compressed into the card core by the pressure ring instrument has outlined the approximate spell model of the Chuling Card.

   The connectivity of some details remains.

   This part consumes a lot of energy. Duke must pay full attention to complete the final calibration step with Xiaoyi's powerful computing power.

  Card making is not simply drawing and engraving spell models. Every stroke will bring unexpected effects, and Xiaoyi needs to make adjustments at any time.

   This is a synchronous operation between man and machine.

   Soon, it was the last stroke. Duke was still calm, and all his excitement was spent in the previous failures.

  At this time, he is like a robot, maintaining a stable state. Cooperating with Xiaoyi's calculation results, he holds the psychic pen firmly and simply outlines an energy line in the air.

  Start the ring crimping instrument.

  The pressure ring device quickly compresses the last energy line into the card core, and then the energy line spontaneously connects end to end with the first energy line to form a closed loop.

  The lights flicker, indicating that the spell model has been perfectly embedded in the card core.

   did not fail.

  Duke was stunned, even a little lost. During this period of time, countless failed card-making experiments had almost made him form a conditioned reflex.

  It seems that failure is what runs through life, not success.

  Until Xiaoyi's voice brought him back to reality from the trance: "Congratulations to the master for successfully producing the 1-ring storage card. The research and development of the 1-ring storage card has been completed. The data in the database is running normally. You can start the production of the 1-ring storage card at any time."

  In late December last year, I started to learn card making. On January 23 this year, I successfully made a 1-ring spiritual storage card, which took only one month.

  Duke leaned on the sofa chair and turned the sofa chair in one direction to face the window of the office.

  Outside the window, you can overlook the entire Shenjiao City.

   The location closest to the Penrose Mage Tower is a large number of factories that emit thick smoke, but the constant 1-ring arcane-endless wind will blow away the black smoke and will not affect the Penrose Mage Tower.

  Twisting the freshly baked 1-ring spirit storage card with the fingertips, it has been wrapped in a cover, and when the spiritual power is triggered, you can see the lines flashing on it.

   This is a manifestation of the normal operation of the spell model inside the Lingka.

   "This is a success... But it's just the most basic 1-ring spirit storage card, but it took me and Xiaoyi a full month of hard work, and no less than 4,000 blank spirit storage cards were abolished... One can imagine how difficult it is to make the card!"

  Duke was filled with emotion.

   In the past, Xiaoyi used to do R&D calculations by himself. He has never participated in it, so he can't understand the difficulties and obstacles involved.

   Now making cards, it is he and Xiaoyi who are working together.

   Among them, the difficult experience is very profound, so the feeling is also very deep: "I have Xiaoyi and it is so difficult, what about other card makers... Vikas tutoring is fine, it depends on time... Mentor Penrose can become a card maker Scholar, the strength is evident!"

   He admired the strength of Master Penrose in his heart, but Duke did not take it lightly.

  With Xiaoyi, his talent in the field of spiritual arcana is no less than that of any arcane scholar, and his ability to create cards in just over a month is a proof.

  He turned back to the sofa chair and rang the rope bell on the table.

  Mulali, who was bored trimming her nails outside the office, soon walked in with a sweet smile: "Sir, what are your orders?"

   "Send this spirit card to the office of the assistant Vikas."

   "Good sir."

  Mulali took the spirit card and left with light steps.

  Since Second Grandpa "sent" her to Duke, after going through the initial hesitation, Mu Lali feels that her life now is pretty good.

   Eat well, drink well, and work lightly.

   And the boss who follows is a genius arcanist, who is also similar in age, with a peaceful personality, and doesn't feel restrained at all.

   Soon she entered the office of Vikas's assistant and sent the Ling card over: "Your Excellency Vikas, this is what my husband asked me to hand over to you."

   "Duke gave it to me?" Vikas raised his eyebrows, and picked up the spirit card on the table.

   Seeing clearly that this is a 1-ring spirit storage card, Vikas's pupils suddenly dilated, and he injected spiritual energy into the spirit card without hesitation.

  The pattern lights up, and the spirit card is activated.

  Vikas couldn't help showing a hint of shock on his face. He quickly noticed that in this 1-ring spirit storage card, Duke's signature was left on one of the energy lines of the spell model.

   This is the card maker's signature, an industry custom.

   It has nothing to do with anti-counterfeiting—only card makers can make products like spirit cards, and ordinary people can't counterfeit them at all. Card makers make money too easily, so there is no need to resort to fraud.

   "Hiss!"

  Vikas saw Duke's signature clearly, and immediately stood up and said, "Mulali, is your boss still in the office?"

"here I am."

   "I'm going to see him."

  Vikas rushed to Duke's office with this spirit card without any delay, and asked in a trembling voice as soon as they met, "Duke, is this the spirit card you made?"

   "Isn't there my signature on it, Assistant Vikas." Duke smiled back.

  Vikas asked seriously: "This kind of thing can't be faked!"

   "There will be no fakes."

   "Unless you make a spirit card on the spot, I won't believe you." Vikas propped his hands on the table, staring at Duke, "It's not that I don't want to believe you, it's that this is too unexpected. I thought it would take a year to do this even with your talent and understanding!"

  Paused, Vikas added: "Sanfis has been studying for two and a half years, and has been studying card making with Leadman for more than a year, and he has not succeeded once!"

  Duke didn't answer.

  Just got up and picked up a blank spirit card, and turned on the unpacked card making equipment on the table, and began to repeat the steps of making a spirit card.

   Assistant Vikas stood opposite, staring at Duke's every move.

  Irrigate the stuck material, dig the Lingqu, Duke carried out meticulously according to the plan formulated by Xiaoyi, and quickly drew 90% of the energy lines successfully, but at this moment, the energy lines in the card core conflicted, and the card material was directly melted down.

  Duke looked up at Vikas.

  Vikas didn't speak, but just exchanged glances with Duke.

  So Duke took out a blank spiritual card again, and repeated the previous steps: "My current card making success rate is not high."

  The material of each Blank Spirit Card is different. Although there is Xiaoyi's assistance, after all, the success experience is insufficient, so it is impossible to guarantee 100% success.

  However, with the increase in the number of successful card making, Xiaoyi's database will become more and more perfect, and the success rate will naturally increase.

A few minutes later.

   Under the gaze of Vikas' wide-eyed eyes, Duke did not fail again, but succeeded in making another 1-ring spirit storage card.

  When the Ling card was wrapped in a cover and handed over to him, Vikas was still in a daze: "Is this a successful production?"

   "Yes, didn't you say that one method can lead to another. After one successful experience, it is not difficult to succeed again." Duke clapped his hands and did not continue to make cards.

  Vikas put the previous spiritual storage card and this new spiritual storage card into his pocket: "I will share this good news with the tutor when he comes back, please wait patiently... I never thought you are so talented in the field of card making..."

soon.

  Vikas left Duke's office with endless emotion.

  However, Mentor Penrose did not come back after get off work. As the ruler of the United Tower, he had to deal with too many official duties.

  Duke went to get off work as usual.

  Only Vikas waited in the Mage Tower until eight o'clock in the evening, and returned to the Mage Tower with a hint of drunk Penrose mentor.

  Mage Tower Castle is Penrose's home.

   "Mentor, you are finally back." Vikas rushed over immediately.

   "It's Vikas, you're still here so late, don't you want to go back and rest?" Penrose stood in the castle hall, surrounded by a group of servants to change his clothes.

   "There is a very important thing that I need to report to you, the instructor."

  Penrose, who had changed into home clothes, motioned for Vikas to sit down and sent the servants away, before he asked, "What's the matter?"

   "Mentor, take a look at this." Vikas handed over two 1-ring spirit storage cards.

  Penrose received the hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and had already checked the two spiritual cards with spiritual energy, and said calmly: "Well, Duke has successfully made the card?"

   "Teacher, you don't seem... not surprised?"

   "What's so surprising, Levsky has been helping me keep an eye on the progress of his card making. Calculating the time, it's only in the past few days." Penrose didn't seem surprised at all, and his tone was as flat as usual.

  But Vikas keenly noticed that Mentor Penrose was shaking slightly as he held Lingka's hand.

"genius!"

   Every time Secretary Lewski sent over Duke's spirit card that Duke had failed in training, Penrose couldn't help admiring each time he saw the progress on it.

  Card making is a field that looks simple but is actually quite difficult.

  Based on his level as a card making scholar, it took him half a year to successfully make his first spirit card when he first came into contact with card making.

  But he asked Vikas to teach Duke card making. In just one month, Duke's card making progress was like a rocket.

   At that time, the failed spirit card brought by Levsky for the first time, the drawing progress on it shocked him.

   Almost every day in the future, Lewski would bring one or two failure spirit cards for him to check Duke's practice progress.

  The progress is getting faster and faster every day.

   What other people can grind out in a week, Duke can often overcome in just one day.

  Such an amazing talent really frightened Penrose. Combined with the previous inspection of the research group, he found that Duke had learned most of the spell models, so he had to admit that he really met a genius arcanist this time.

   Not one of those pseudo-geniuses who occasionally get a spiritual visit.

so.

  When Vikas came over with the 1-ring spirit card made by Duke, Penrose was not surprised at all, he had expected it.

  But he couldn't control the agitation in his heart: "Where's Duke?"

"he is off from get off work."

   "Let him come to my office tomorrow morning." Penrose said calmly, "You should go back early and rest."

  What Vikas wanted to say, he always felt that the instructor's mood should not be so flat, you know, he was excited all afternoon.

   Learn to make cards in one month, this is a real card making genius.

   But seeing Penrose's indifferent response, he could only suppress his inner excitement: "Yes, mentor, I'll go back right away."

   Wait for Vikas to leave.

  Penrose sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

  To be honest, he has no idea of ​​looking for a successor. After all, he is only eighty-six years old, and he still has eighty or ninety years of life if there is no accident.

   And he also enjoys the honor of being the only card making scholar in the entire Heijiaohe land.

   Even intends to deepen the field of card making, seeking an opportunity to break through the 4th Ring Arcane Mage, then everything will be different again.

   "But talent is hard to find, especially a dazzling genius like Duke... Given his talent, in time, I'm afraid he will be another card-making scholar... It took me fifty years to get the title of scholar. What about him, ten years? Five years?"

   Penrose feels uncomfortable when he thinks that ten years, or five years later, the title of card making scholar will no longer be unique.

  He thought about suppressing Duke and maintaining his absolute position.

   But this is unrealistic. The registered arcane mages in the Faling Pagoda are all under the strong protection of the Seven Towers Federation, and ordinary suppression has no effect at all.

   They can't kill each other, and ordinary means can't have any deterrent effect.

  Unless he leads Duke to a path of no return, such as researching prohibited human experiments or defecting to the Federation of Seven Towers, he is then expelled from Faling Tower.

   But Duke is no fool.

  So Penrose could only suppress the dark side of his heart, and silently thought: "If Duke is destined to be unable to suppress, then help him and help him stand out early... After all, he is an arcanist who walked out of my Penrose Mage Tower!"

   After finishing his ideological work, Penrose felt a burst of relief.

  The next day, Duke received a notification from Vikas and immediately entered the office of Penrose's mentor.

   "Mentor, are you looking for me?"

   "Sit." Penrose said in a friendly tone, "Director Vikas has given me your 1-ring spirit storage card to look at. Being able to learn how to make a card in such a short period of time is enough to prove your hard work during this time. Genius also needs to be watered by sweat."

   "You're right, I think so too."

   "Now that you have learned the most basic card making, I will teach you in person. I don't have much free time, and the teaching time is set on every Thursday afternoon."

  Duke said happily: "Thank you, mentor!"

  It is undoubtedly a great joy to be personally taught by a card-making scholar. A random point from Penrose may allow him to deepen his understanding of the ring and the spiritual mystery.

   "In addition, you should end the research project in hand as soon as possible, and summarize a paper, and I will help you revise one or two."

"yes."

   "When this subject is over, I will choose a new subject for you to help you get familiar with the research in the field of card making as soon as possible."

   "Thank you, mentor."

   Coming out of Penrose's office, Duke couldn't help laughing.

  Before in the Penrose Mage Tower, he was basically a little transparent. Except for Vikas who cared more about him and Sanfis who was closer, he was not close to the other arcanists, and Penrose seldom paid attention to him.

   But it is different now. After showing his card making talent, Mentor Penrose has to face up to his existence.

   "This wave has drawn a lot of resources!"

  With Penrose's personal teaching and the resources of the Mage Tower, it is foreseeable that his card making skills will continue to rise in the foreseeable future.

  The improvement of skills will also promote the understanding of the ring, thereby improving one's own cultivation progress.

   Promote to the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage as soon as possible.

  In the afternoon, the news that Duke had successfully produced a 1-ring spiritual storage card spread in the Penrose Mage Tower.

   It was Vikas' assistant who received Penrose's signal to pass on the news.

   "Wow, isn't it, Duke!" Sanfis was the first to yell, "I haven't learned how to make cards yet, and you have secretly made spirit cards?"

   "It's just luck." Duke waved his hand modestly.

   "It can't be explained by good luck. You have successfully refreshed the success speed of the card maker in this city. There is no one who can learn to make cards faster than you in the entire Wind Breath field!" Orianna said enviously, "You will be as successful as a mentor!"

   "I'm only in the field of card making, and I have half a leg to go, and I need more work."

   "Excessive modesty is pride, Duke, you may be able to go farther than us in the field of card making, anyway, congratulations." Blanc said with a smile.

  Galba followed suit with a few words of congratulations, but he didn't seem so sincere.

  Especially when he saw Orianna flattering Duke, his jealous eyes flashed under his smile.

   Afterwards, even the always indifferent mentor Leadman knocked on Duke's office door: "Come here and congratulate you."

   "Thank you." Duke sent out the invitation, "I'm going to treat everyone to a drink at the Castle Tavern after get off work. Please be sure to appreciate the guidance of Leadman."

  Leadman thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay."

   Immediately got up and left.

   "Mulali, send me Leadman's assistant."

"Need not."

  Sent Leadman out of the office, and when Mu Lali came back, the excitement on her face was still there: "Sir, it's unbelievable, you have become a card maker!"

  Duke twitched his lips: "Xiao Lili, you are by my side, you have to learn to get used to this kind of thing in the future."

   (Three more in one~)

   Looking for tickets~
