Studying Science in the Alternate World Chapter 343

Chapter 343 Ocean Arcana Mage

“The person I want to thank the most is Chairman Duke.”

The day after the bells of magic towers across the country rang seven times, the newly promoted 7-ring Morning Star arcane instructor, the current chief director of the Erudite Tower in Gaohe City, the Erudite Sage Elaven, visited the Seven Towers Optical Observation Deck to talk about his promotion to the stars. story.

As soon as he came up, Elaine began to thank Duke: "I have accumulated enough over the years, but listening to the whispers of the stars is always not smooth because I lack some knowledge of new things."

The host did not interrupt Eleven's talk, but just nodded in agreement.

While remembering the past, Eleven sighed: "Until Chairman Duke turned out, the Ring of Brand shocked the world, and I finally found a sense of freshness...I thought the Ring of Brand would reach its limit, but who could have expected it? , Chairman Duke released another ring of consonance."

 The ring of branding and the ring of consonance bring about spiritual arcane knowledge, which really benefits the world, and all arcane mages benefit from it.

Eleven has benefited the most from these new technologies, which are another layer of interpretation of spiritual arcana.

"With the help of two rings, I have been able to listen to the whispers in the starry sky and hear some specious contents." Elaine said with a smile, "At that time, you can imagine how grateful I was to Chairman Duke, but this It's still not the limit.”

Subsequently, Duke released the Ring of Light, which connected the whole world like an explosion, turning the wilderness into a village.

"The revelation that the Ring of Light has brought to me is immeasurable. As my research on the Ring of Light deepens, the whispers in the starry sky become clearer and clearer. It can be said that I am only one step away from the stars. Time has passed. Just boil it and you can take off!"

 Speaking of this, the female host on the side couldn't help but let out a wow, and looked at the white-haired old man with admiration.

His hair and beard are all white, which is already the standard for high-level arcane mages.

 However, the skin, muscles and other physiological functions are still maintained at their peak state by spiritual energy and remain youthful forever.

How could the female host not admire such a "young" old man with supreme power? She wished she could pack herself up and give it to the old man as a snack.

"But what?" Elaine didn't look at the female host. At his age, he had experienced so many embraces that he had already taken it lightly. "Just when I was about to fight against time, Chairman Duke came again. The Ring of Phantom Beasts and the Ring of Qi Refining were released one after another.”

He deeply admired: "Although I have not opened the Sea of ​​Blood and the Sea of ​​Qi, by analogy, these two rings still bring me new knowledge that I have been dreaming about day and night. Therefore, time can no longer stop me. After listening clearly to all the whispers in the starry sky, I finally emerged from my own Chapter of Stars!"

 Pap, pah, pah.

The female host clapped softly, her eyes already dazzled. If she hadn't been a Level 1 Arcane Mage and could control her emotions, she would have sacrificed herself in the live broadcast of Light Vision.

The starry aura radiated by the stars itself is as oppressive as the abyss, making people have the urge to kneel down and worship. If it were an ordinary host, a disharmonious scene would inevitably appear.

Glancing at the coquettish female host, Elaine said calmly: "I am just one step ahead of others and advance to the stars. I believe that in the Seven Towers Federation and even the whole world, there are sky arcane mages like me who are trapped in the Whispering Circle of the Starry Sky. , not a few.”

 He faced the camera and said in a solemn tone: "Next, you will see more arcane mages of the sky and be promoted to the stars!"

Hand out a hand and wave it in front of the camera.

Eleven's tone gradually revealed a hint of fanaticism: "Chairman Duke's five rings will create a prosperous age of stars!"

In front of the optical cameras, thousands of households are watching, the first appearance of the new stars.

Seeing that the new stars praised Duke so highly, the people who already admired Duke puffed up their chests as if they were honored. Those people who had reservations about Duke kept muttering in their hearts and silently adjusted their views on Duke. Cognition.

 The Seven Sages of the Five Rings Prophets really do not fall into the category of the first sages in the world.

"Sir, even the stars are your believers." Ibuprofen, who has been promoted to the director of the office of Duke's Sage Mage Tower, looked at the photoscope and thanked Duke endlessly for the newly promoted stars Elaven , letting out a sigh of relief.

"It's okay. Elaine is not an ungrateful person and knows how to accept my kindness." Duke's tone was calm, but his reserved and complacent expression could not be concealed.

Even the stars have become his believers. This is really a proud thing worth boasting about.

"Arcane mages around the world must be the first to fall in love with you." Ibuprofen said matter-of-factly, "The great achievements you announced have helped countless arcan mages expand their knowledge. This is a fact that cannot be erased no matter what. .”

Duke waved his hand calmly: "There is no need to repay favors. I invent these technologies and no one will come to thank me. It is just to change the world."

Such a calm demeanor and such domineering words.

If it were a strange female arcane mage, she would probably have thrown herself into her arms long ago, but ibuprofen is already immune to this.

Having seen Duke's attitude like this, the threshold will naturally be high.

Furthermore, she is also very aware of Duke's appearance-controlling attributes, and she is an ordinary person, so she just acts as a subordinate. Don't expect to be like Winona Yingzhu and Agnes Ice Crown, who can climb from assistant to madam.

“Sir, Sir Eleven said that there will be more arcane mages from the sky who will be promoted to the stars in the future, is that correct?”

"There should be a few sky arcane mages who, with the help of the five rings, can rise into the sky and become stars. But there won't be too many. Whether they can rise into the sky ultimately depends on the sky arcane mages' own understanding. The help of the five rings is by no means the key. factor."

 Duke replied matter-of-factly.

Eleven was able to advance to the stars, perhaps with the help of Duke's five rings, which provided him with a chance to make a breakthrough.

 But in the final analysis, it was Eleven who had accumulated enough to make all this happen.

so.

At the Supreme Committee meeting the next day, after Eleven's clone arrived, he expressed his gratitude to Duke in person, but Duke did not accept it.

"Eleven, this is your own accumulation, I just provide a little opportunity." Duke smiled.

Eleven said sternly: "Mr. Chairman, you may not value these, but even this opportunity is of infinite importance to me. Please allow me to express my gratitude to you, otherwise I will be punished." Well-deserved.”

 “Okay, it's up to you.” Duke was helpless.

"This is a good story, and I am very happy to congratulate you." Linton Treecicada smiled, "Mr. Chairman, I have another star in the Supreme Committee, which shows that the age of erudition is coming!"

“Yes, Sage Linton is right, Lord Eleven is the first, and more people will join this prosperous era later.”

“Yes, yes, even among my highest committee, there are several sages who are qualified to hit the stars.”

 “The sage Herrington is.”

“Oh, I haven't heard the whispers from the stars yet. It's too early to talk about impacting the stars, it's too early!”

 The atmosphere of the Supreme Committee is harmonious.

 Duke allowed everyone to be noisy for a while before presiding over today's meeting, reviewing a new technology and assigning promotion tasks.

Although he has not invented any new technologies in recent years, he has really promoted the development of natural history in the Seven Towers Federation with the help of the Supreme Committee. Especially around the ring of light and information, communication policies are promoted layer by layer to integrate the entire federation into one.

Now, even small and remote counties have been connected to optical cables.

Not only that, under his promotion, rail trains also began to be built crazily. The rail lines extending in all directions greatly accelerated the flow of population.

At the same time, the speed of rail lines has also been increased time and time again. Now the speed of some high-speed rail lines has been increased to 600 kilometers per hour.

  Driving from the central city of one domain to the central city of another domain, it can be reached in two or three days.

This speed has far surpassed that of airships and has gradually caught up with battleships. Moreover, Duke is also presiding over the research and development of higher-speed rail trains. By then, battleships will most likely be eliminated by high-speed rail trains.

certainly.

 Duke still likes battleships. Mobile fortresses are more comfortable than rail trains, so he is also in charge of the research and development of high-speed battleships.

 In the age of spirituality, speed is equally important.

  It can be said that Duke is combining the respective advantages of the earth and the wild continent to create an unprecedented era of greatness.

“The next plan is to push optical cables from the county to each newly established market town.” Duke emphasized at the meeting.

  Former market towns, such as Sheshou Town, have been renovated and upgraded to today's county towns.

As the knight class becomes stronger and stronger, and Qi Refiners continue to emerge, more and more people are leaving the city limits and opening up into the surrounding forests. Countless market towns developed by low-level arcane mages, knights, and Qi refiners have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Duke is now trying to bring these emerging market towns into communications integration.

after an hour.

End of the meeting.

The current Supreme Committee meetings are always held within one hour, everything is explained clearly, and then the meeting adjourns.

 For no other reason, Duke's earth clone can only last for an hour and a quarter.

 Allow a quarter of an hour to review the documents, sign and seal them, so the meeting only lasts for an hour. Fortunately, most of the erudite sages were in separate meetings, and their time was limited, so they acted quickly and reduced all kinds of nonsense.

 The next day.

 Duke's earth clone participated in the meeting of stars again. The theme of the meeting was to welcome Elaven to the meeting of stars.

 Also discuss Elaven's new role.

 There are usually five destinations for Qunxing's duties, and the first one is naturally the head of the five towers.

As we all know, the Seven Towers Federation has seven towers representing power. Among them, the heads of the Union Tower and the Observation Tower are the glowing moon, and they are called the two major tower heads. Therefore, the remaining five high towers, the Star Tower Heads, are also called the Five Great Tower Heads.

 At present, the capitals of the five major towers are the old stars, which are obviously unable to move.

 The second destination of the stars is the Guardian of the Twelve Domains.

Elaven was born in the Gravel Realm, and Michael, the original guardian of the Gravel Realm, degenerated into a fallen demon. If Elaven had been promoted to the stars a few years earlier, he could have successfully taken over as the guardian. But now, there are already stars serving as guardians of the gravel field.

The current guardian of the gravel realm, Melis, was also born in the gravel realm and was transferred here after Michael's fall.

 The third place for the stars is the Arcane Assistance Corps. There are currently eight legions, and the eight stars are all running around.

 The fourth place for the stars is the Eight Outer Courts, which are the institutions affiliated with the Seven Towers such as the Knight Monastery and the Spiritual Plant Research Institute. Nominally under the jurisdiction of the Seven Towers, they are actually independent management and research institutions, but the current president is also satisfied.

 The fifth destination of the stars is the general affairs management position of the Seven Towers.

For example, the executive directors and executive directors of each tower, as well as the secretary-general of the Stars Conference, the chief director of the Cape of Good Hope Welcome Tower, etc.

“What other positions are vacant in the Seven Towers General Affairs Bureau?” Speaker Selsus asked directly.

Secretary-General Tyral responded: "Currently, there are three standing director positions in the Tower of Offa, the Tower of Knowledge, and the Tower of Stars, held by Sky Arcane Masters. He can integrate his committees and provide positions of stars. There are also chief directors of the special towers in the four cities. Star positions are also available.”

“How about integrating the Executive Director of the Erudite Tower with the standard-setting committee under his command, and letting Elaine serve?” Speaker Zambrotta suggested.

 Madron·Rhodiola nodded: "I have no objection."

 Duke has nothing to do with himself.

 But Eleven hesitated for a moment: "Well, I'm actually not interested in the general affairs of the Learned Tower."

 He has concerns because the current executive director of the Erudite Tower and the current director of the Standards Development Committee are both his friends. If he integrated these two positions, the two friends would have to change positions, and it would be awkward to meet each other.

As for the other positions, Elaine doesn't like them either, because he has a special liking for natural history and wants to work in the Erudite Tower. "What are you doing? You want to stay and work in the Erudite Tower, but you don't want to offend a few of your colleagues. How can you still have the charm of the stars!" Sarilang snorted.

Eleven smiled sarcastically. He had just joined the star meeting and was not used to the noisy style of the stars.

After several discussions, Duke simply suggested: "I recently have a plan to reorganize the Erudite Tower, transfer a group of backbones, and prepare the ninth outer courtyard, the Museum Research Institute, which is specifically used to improve and integrate the existing Erudite technology. How about Leave it to Eleven to lead.”

“Natural Research Institute?” Madron Rhodiola frowned, “Why haven't I heard of it?”

 “I haven't said it yet, and of course you haven't heard it.”

 “This matter needs long-term consideration.”

“It's okay, let's discuss it, Eleven, can you wait?” Duke asked.

Eleven nodded hurriedly: "I can wait, I can wait. If we can really prepare a museum institute, I am willing to be the director!"

This position is very suitable to his taste.

Hearing this, Selsus chuckled: "Let's discuss it now. I think a Museum Research Institute should be built. The seven towers all have outer courtyards, whether it is to improve technology or balance the structure. It's time to build an outer courtyard.”

After some discussion, the establishment of the Institute of Natural History was confirmed, and Elaine will also serve as the first president of the Institute of Natural History.

 For a while, Duke's main energy was spent on helping Elivan prepare for the Museum of Natural History.

This Institute of Natural History is somewhat similar to the Chinese Academy of Sciences on Earth. Under Duke's conception and establishment, a number of affiliated Natural History Research Institutes were set up in various cities.

“When you set up a natural history research society, you should pay attention to formulating the research scope of the natural history research society based on the comprehensive strength of each city. For example, coastal cities will mainly study natural history technology related to navigation.”

 “I understand.” Eleven responded.

"Okay, I won't say much else. If you need help, just tell me." Duke said.

This busyness lasted until the spring of the next year.

 Duke suddenly did not activate several of his clones for a week in a row. Instead, he stayed in Duke's Sage Mage Tower and concentrated on practicing.

 Looking inside the spiritual sea.

 The fourth ring on the surface of the spiritual core, as well as the dense lines outlined, will soon form a perfectly closed circuit.

“Process 1: Exclusive meditation method, vision resonance, spiritual boiling, and fountain of projection. Pause and hang up, and the master will practice it himself. Currently, the spiritual sea level is a 4th-level earth arcana scholar. The cultivation progress is estimated to be 99.99%, and it is about to be completed!”

 Xiaoyi's progress chart clearly lists Duke's training progress at this time.

 From July 17, 4422, when he was promoted to Earth Arcana Mage, to today, April 27, 4430, which lasted for seven years, nine months and more than ten days, Duke finally reached the point where the fourth ring was complete.

 Meditation, breathing.

 Psychic energy poured into the body, as active as boiling water, and poured crazily into the fourth ring structure of Duke's spiritual core.

"it's time."

 An idea flashed through Duke's mind.

The last batch of boiling spiritual particles poured into the fourth-layer ring structure, filling in the last gap in the connecting part of the ring structure.

next moment.

The entire ring structure burst out with bright light, and the spiritual core expanded to the entire spiritual sea in an instant. The zigzag energy lines passed through all the phenomena in the spiritual sea, outlining a mysterious but regular structure, even between the spiritual particles. The combination is also mysterious.

Then, quietly, a new loop stretched out from the fourth ring structure of the spiritual core, surrounding the spiritual core.

 Like a planetary ring on a planet.

“The fifth ring!” Duke laughed. Breakthroughs were like drinking water. For him, every promotion came naturally.

His knowledge of spiritual arcana far exceeds the speed of practice.

　　Boom!

 The spiritual core shrinks and returns to the origin in the center of the spiritual sea. On several surrounding orbits, arcane wonders and arcane weapons complement each other.

The fifth ring track, which originally had only six additional slots, suddenly expanded into a large amount of space, which can be divided into approximately eight new slots.

“I can formulate new ideas again.” Duke's mind watched the changes in the spiritual sea indifferently. He did not exit the spiritual sea until these changes stabilized.

 Open your eyes.

 Everything around him becomes brighter. This is not an optical illusion, but a change in psychic perception.

His spiritual sense is sharper and his perception is greatly improved.

 The most important thing is that the unique ability of the Great Arcane Mage, the Fountain of Projection, has also been greatly strengthened. Originally, the projection spring was like a super weak spiritual spring, but now the projection spring is barely worth one-tenth of the small spiritual spring.

 This is already a huge improvement.

You must know that there are only two small spiritual springs at the foot of Oak Tooth Mountain. Usually, one small spiritual spring can support the use of a mage tower.

 In the future, even if Duke reaches the Jedi point where his spirituality has dried up, he can still rely on the fountain of projection to maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness.

"Eight years is four years shorter than the twelve years I originally expected." Duke calculated the time. This was the longest part of his training, but it was only eight years. Some arcane mages can practice the first level even faster.

 This year, Duke turns thirty-four.

“It's a sure shot to hit the stars before he's a hundred years old!” He still has sixty-six years left to hit the stars before he's a hundred years old.

 For other arcane mages, it may not be possible to complete the fifth ring in sixty-six years, but for Duke, this is not a problem at all.

"It takes three years to be promoted from one ring to two rings; it is also three years to be promoted from two rings to three rings; it is four years to be promoted from three rings to four rings; it is eight years to be promoted from four rings to five rings, which doubles; well, suppose five rings It will take sixteen years to advance to the sixth level, and thirty-two years to complete the sixth level, and I will only be eighty-two years old by then."

He has already activated the will of the stars, and listening to the whispers of the stars is probably just a formality, just like clearing the fog of spiritual arcana.

so.

Duke estimates that when he is about eighty-two years old, he will be able to ascend to the stars: "But in fact, I may be much younger than this age. I don't believe that it will take sixteen years to complete the fifth ring, and three years to complete the sixth ring." Twelve years! Maybe ten or eight years will be enough!"

If so, he felt that he could even hit Huiyue before he was a hundred years old.

If there is another big opportunity, it is not impossible to hit the 9th ring of the sun before the age of 100, and get out of the first crown of the sun in the wilderness continent.

 “Of course, it's too early to say anything.”

 Duke stood up from the tree house and was about to ask his assistant to go to the Magic Tower to report and update his Magic Card information.

 “Sir.” Ibuprofen came quickly.

“Take my magic spirit card and go to the magic spirit tower to update my cultivation level to become a marine arcane mage.”

 “Ah!” Ibuprofen let out Duke's expected exclamation.

Duke waved his hand calmly: "Go ahead, there's nothing surprising. Also, tell Chief Director Edwin Moon Falcon not to ring the bell and keep a low profile."

Ibuprofen had recovered from the surprise, and said with a smile: "Sir, you should let the Faling Tower ring the bell. The bell-ringing ceremony is important to the staff of the Faling Tower, but every time there is a ring, there is Here's the monthly salary reward.”

"No." Duke refused, "At the end of last year, Elaine was promoted to the stars, but after seven knocks, the salary reward was enough."

The employees who can work in the Five Towers are basically from lower-income families.

Duke put his hands behind his back and walked to the path outside the tree house. He shook his head and said: "The rewards they have earned from me over the years are not small. Let's forget it this time. It's just a marine arcane mage. There is no publicity. necessary."

　　that time, that moment, and this moment.

Duke's mentality is completely different. Now he is a formal member of the Council of Stars, the chief sage of Offa Tower, and one of the six speakers.

 Unless you are promoted to Level 7 Morning Star Arcane Tutor, there is no need to celebrate.

 Even if the age of the 7-ring Morning Star is too old, there is no need to celebrate, because everyone knows and believes that sooner or later he will ascend to the stars. It's a matter of course, so what's the need to celebrate?

Ibuprofen followed behind and smiled: "Sir, I will convey your intention to Chief Director Edwin, but I'm afraid Chief Director Edwin has his own idea whether to ring the bell or not."

 “Go, go.” Duke waved.

It is true that he did not want to ring the bell, but if Edwin Moon Falcon insisted, he would not be able to say anything. After all, Edwin Moon Falcon's daughter Alyssa Moon Falcon is also considered one of Duke's lovers, so she has to give him some respect.

as expected.

A moment later, the buzzing bell rang five times, meaning the birth of the youngest Ocean Arcana Mage in the Seven Towers Federation and even the world, and also the record for the fastest promotion to Ocean Arcana Mage.

Over the entire Black Dragon River, the bells of the two Magical Spirit Towers were floating.

One is the bell of the Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City, and the other is the bell of the Faling Pagoda in Shenjiao City. They are intertwined with each other and spread to every corner.

 “Are stars born again?” When the people heard the bells, their eyes widened.

"It's different. The stars sounded seven times, but this time they only struck five times." Some people quickly discovered the difference.

After a while, the common people knew the reason.

Shen Yan City, Cuihai City, and some square screens in the surrounding counties have all published the latest news: "Congratulations to Lord Duke's successful promotion of the Ocean Olympic Master!"

Although the congratulatory message is short, the content is surprising.

 “Mr. Duke has been promoted to Ocean Arcana Mage?”

 “Wow, Master Duke is only thirty-four years old!”

“Have you seen the thirty-four-year-old Ocean Arcana Mage?”

"No, I have seen a forty-four-year-old second-level arcane mage. Dean Shanfeisi of Cuihai City Hospital was promoted to a second-level arcane mage at the age of forty-four!" A middle-aged man was very sure. Said, "Dean Shanfeisi performed an operation on me!"

Just at the beginning of this year, Shanfeisi finally succeeded in expanding his knowledge of spiritual arcane magic through his study of medicine and was promoted to a second-level arcane mage.

However, after hearing this, the people around him said very coldly: "A forty-four-year-old second-level arcane mage, you are talking nonsense!"

“By the time Mr. Duke turns forty-four, I'm afraid not all of them will have become sky arcane mages!”

 “The stars are possible!”

“Yes, yes, Duke is the incarnation of spirituality. My son can be admitted to Sanhai University in Oak Tooth Mountain because I pray to Duke and protect him every day!”
