Studying Science in the Alternate World

"It's called Pheasant Feather, the ancient spirit of the Ocean of Insects era, you are really lucky, this ancient spirit is older than that dead brain of Iron Head."

When Keyston spoke, he was not without sourness.

The older the ancient spirit, the more extensive its knowledge. After all, it is a creature that has lived from ancient times to the present.

The tower spirit iron head of Keyston Mage Tower, the main body is the armored fish of the sea of ​​fish.

The Sea of ​​Fish is separated from the Ocean of Insects by two spiritual ages, namely the Horn Beach and the Shell Beach. Creatures have developed from sea worms to sea fish. The time experienced during this period may be measured in "hundred million years" Calculated as a unit.

The experience of hundreds of millions of years, even if there is only a bit of dust in the memory of the ancient spirit, it is enough to be an encyclopedia.

With the help of these ancient spirits, the arcanists here have a clear understanding of biological evolution.

only.

Arcanists do not believe that humans evolved from these primitive animals. The reason is very simple. The most recent type of phantom in the ancient era is the bird's sky where birds are entrenched. After that, there will be no phantom of the ancient era erupting.

How human beings were born, there is no record of any phantoms in ancient times.

And according to ancient legends, human beings rose from the island where the knights were born, and arrived at the wild continent by sea boat.

Therefore, humans should have never participated in the biological evolution of the Manghuang Continent.

"Duke, take this trilobite ancient spirit with you first, and then transform it into a tower spirit or war spirit if necessary, but you must pay attention to it, the transformation is irreversible." Keyston Rage said seriously Said, "An ancient spirit who leaves the spiritual spring no longer belongs to the existence of immortality."

"You mean, once the ancient spirit is transformed into a battle spirit, the battleship will be destroyed, and the battle spirit will also fall with it?"

"Not necessarily, as long as you protect the core units of the battleship at the critical moment, you can continue to build new battleships and revive the battle spirit again. Only when the core unit is also destroyed and the battle spirit has no sustenance will it die."

"I understand. By the way, my lord, Pheasant Feather is staying in this crystal ball. How can I communicate with it?"

Holding the crystal ball, Duke could only watch the trilobites swimming in it, and could not establish effective communication.

Keyston shook his head and said, "It won't die again in a while, you just have to wait, when you transform it into a battle spirit or a tower spirit, it will naturally communicate normally... I asked it some questions in the spring before. It's a pity that it doesn't want to say anything."

After a pause, he added: "After you transform it, I will come to you and ask it about the ancient evil."

"Ancient evil?" Duke raised his brows, "My lord, I know something about it."

"What?"

"When I comprehended the tree king of the third ring - Wannian Pine Tower, I seemed to have seen an ancient evil, like a huge maggot, trying to devour the spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley... In the end, it was repelled by countless spirit beasts working together , leaving behind a tattered shell.”

"I see..." Keyston looked at Duke, feeling more and more that this kid was loved by spirituality, "I didn't expect that even the tree king can reproduce time, and I have also comprehended the mysterious vine. Vine, I didn’t see anything.”

"This may be because I opened the sea of ​​energy, so I can resonate with the tree king's breath, so that through the natural power of the tree king, time can be reproduced."

"Cherish this ability, you can go farther than us on the path of spiritual mysteries."

"I see."

Keyston's conversation was not happy, and after a few words to Duke, he waved his hand to indicate that Duke could leave, and he needed to be alone for a while.

When Duke left, he put the crystal ball into the inner interlayer of the arcane robe.

This is a secret transaction, except for a few great arcane masters, no one knows, especially Bernoulli.

Otherwise, Bernoulli might have guessed that it was Duke who broke the secret of the Ocean of Insects, thus exposing the fact that the spiritual spring in Cuihai Valley is a large spring. At that time, Bernoulli, who can't think about it, may not make a move on Duke.

After all, no one can guarantee for a 4th-ring great arcane mage who is about to die, when he will risk his life and Raduk will go on the road together.

Before Duke returned to his camp tent.

It was discovered that Bernoulli had been waiting halfway back to the camp at some time, and after seeing Duke, he showed a smile that he thought was kind.

"Your Excellency Duke."

"Monsieur Bernoulli."

"I don't mind delaying you for a few minutes." When Bernoulli spoke, the entourage he brought had already set up tables, chairs and benches.

Duke sat down: "If you have anything, just say it."

"Twin Springs, I would like to ask Your Excellency Duke to part with you. For this, I, Bernoulli Mage Tower, am willing to pay enough to satisfy you." Bernoulli opened the door and stated his purpose directly, "I am old and my heart The only wish is the future of the family."

The twin springs are two small springs found next to each other when exploring the spiritual spring.

Duke frowned: "I'm sorry, Sir Bernoulli, I also need the Twin Springs very much to build my sage mage tower."

"But your future is not in Heijiaohe, isn't it? Sooner or later you will go to the Holy City of Arcana, where you can display your talents. So, why do you have to compete with me in this small border city? A small spring?"

Bernoulli looked very optimistic about Duke: "As long as you are willing to give up, I can pay you a satisfactory reward. For you, going to the Holy City of Offa will cost you everywhere. And you will always get Bernoulli The friendship of the Nuri family."

"What you said makes sense." Duke nodded approvingly.

Bernoulli smiled with satisfaction, feeling that his words had touched Duke's heart.

The next moment, Duke's tone changed: "But I still want to build my own sage mage tower on the twin springs."

"You!" Bernoulli took a breath and didn't catch up.

"This is my home, and I will never forget it no matter what. My glory is the glory of all the villagers in Heijiaohe. My tower of sages and mages stands here. I believe it will shine on all the villagers. Cultivate more arcane masters for our hometown."

These words were spoken with awe-inspiring righteousness.

He will indeed go to the Holy City of Alfa to develop at a certain point of time, but this does not mean that he will abandon his hometown.

It only took more than half a month for the warship to go back and forth between Shenjiao City and the Holy City of Arcane. He could do research in the Holy City of Arcane for half a year, and return to Heijiao River for half a year to do research, and treat Cuihai City as his own. base camp operations.

Bernoulli wanted to make Cuihai City a base camp, so why didn't he want to.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Bernoulli laughed angrily when he heard this, "Duke is a learned and sage, and he is indeed the spiritual favorite of Heijiaohe. You want both fame and wealth, and you will not let go of the twin springs... All I can say is, I wish you success in getting the Twin Spring Eyes!"

"Thank you." Duke stood up indifferently, "If there is nothing else, I will leave."

"Please."

Died with Bernoulli.

Duke didn't take this matter to heart. The competition between the twin springs was based on their own means, and the favor and power of the 4th Ring Arcane Master still couldn't shake his decision.

Back at the camp, Mu Lali and Mu Lashan had already prepared bath water for him.

Duke didn't like being served when he took a bath, so he dismissed the little assistant, and he undressed himself into the tub.

While taking a bath, he played with the crystal ball in his hand.

By the way, the chicken was called out.

"Duke, what are you doing again!" Chick was a little irritable, being called around by Duke every day, not for food and shelter, because he had already turned his face.

"Look." Duke raised the crystal ball in his hand.

Chick squinted at the crystal ball, his mouth was one step ahead of his brain: "What the hell is this, isn't it just a broken ball?"

next moment.

When it saw the trilobite sealed in the crystal ball, it shook its tail excitedly, and its eyes were already attached to the crystal ball.

Yelling, "Wow, Duke Duke, it's my grandma, it's my grandma!"

The trilobite in the crystal ball also noticed the chick. Although it was sealed and unable to communicate, it did not prevent it from quickly approaching the crystal wall of the crystal ball and staring at the chick.

The difference is that the chick has a pair of single eyes, and the trilobite has a pair of compound eyes.

"Of course I know it's your grandma."

"Get my grandma out, I want to talk to my grandma!"

"I can't let it out."

"What?" Chick stared, "Duke, you are not moral, are you? Why did you lock up my grandma and stuff it in such a small broken glass ball!"

"Because your grandma is an ancient spirit, it is a spirit body and cannot exist independently. Moreover, this is not a glass ball, but a crystal ball, which seals the spring water of the spiritual spring." Duke held the crystal ball, "Once broken , your grandma will have to return to the spiritual spring to stay."

finished.

On Xiaoji's head, a brain crash: "It's chilling to have so little trust in me."

"I didn't!" Chick retorted feebly.

Then he changed the subject and said, "But I really want grandma to come out. I haven't spoken to grandma for a long time."

"Not yet, first, I haven't built a mage tower, and second, I don't have a battleship either. So your grandma has to stay in the crystal ball for a while. But it's too soon, after so many years of waiting, now you Grandma is by your side, so it doesn't matter if you wait a few more days."

"All right."

The chick stuck to the crystal ball and shouted loudly: "Grandma, don't worry, I will ask Duke to release you right away!"

The trilobite swung its body in the crystal ball, as if responding.

I can see grandma, but I can't hear grandma's words. The chick yelled and couldn't help but shed tears, and the drops turned into bright lights and dispersed on the ground.

Can empathize with the chicken's emotions.

Duke also felt a little uncomfortable, so he couldn't help communicating with Xiaoyi: "Tell me, besides the battle spirit and the tower spirit, is there a better way to transform the ancient spirit?"

"There is too little information about the ancient spirit, master, Xiaoyi can't answer it."

"well."

Duke sighed.

The transformation ceremony of the ancient spirit, Keyston Rage has already told him in full, basically it is to use a batch of special materials to build a "body" for the ancient spirit, and then use alchemy, contract and other means to make the ancient spirit and body fusion.

With the body hosting the spirit body, the ancient spirit can move freely within the scope of the body.

"If I make a mechanical body for Pheasant Feather, Xiao Yi, do you think it will be successful?" Duke suddenly had a whim.

He thought of the six-legged spirit puppet jar he had picked up in the hut in the forest.

According to the records in the notes of the life scholar Baines, if the human soul can be extracted, it can be stuffed into a container and have a long-term vision.

But Baines died of old age just after he started the human experiment.

"The master's thought has a certain basis in reality. Perhaps on the basis of Baines' experiment, we can conduct human experiments to expand enough data." Xiaoyi gave a suggestion, "Then combine the ancient spirit transformation ceremony to try to provide a pheasant. Feathers provide the body."

"Human experiments...forget it." Duke shook his head.

If he is an arcane teacher with 7th or 8th ring, and his strength is unrivaled, he may try human experiments.

But now, trying human experimentation is really a death-seeking act.

"It's more practical to study film and television technology to pave the way for practice." Duke denied it in his heart, and also extinguished the idea of ​​making a mechanical body for Pheasant Feather.

Even if Pheasant Feather is a spirit body, it is easy to combine with the mechanical body, he does not intend to try.

The senior arcane masters have already figured out a safe way to transform the battle spirit and tower spirit, he just needs to continue.

When you find a new ancient spirit in the future, maybe you can try one or two.

"Chicken." Duke put away the crystal ball, "I have rescued your grandma, and we just need to wait patiently."

"Duke!" Xiaoji suddenly called out in a solemn tone.

"What?"

"Let's build a battleship!"

"Um..." Duke was stunned for a moment, "How dare you build a battleship, chick, do you know how much a battleship costs?"

"Isn't our family rich?" Xiaoji said confidently, "You are so good at making money, what's wrong with building a warship, don't be so stingy, okay? Big deal, big deal, when I practice with you in the future, I will stick to it for a while, no So early to cry tired!"

"Well, so you pretend to be tired every time you shout?" Duke discovered the blind spot.

Chick's expression didn't change at all: "No, this is not the point, Duke, the point is that you are rich, Duke!"

"I have no money, and I haven't paid back the money I owe the teacher."

"Why do you have to pay back the teacher's money?"

"Why don't you pay it back?"

"Anyway, anyway, anyway, if you have money, I just want to build a battleship." Chick began to act rascally.

"Be good, we don't build battleships, we build mage towers." Duke patted the chick, "Duke Sage Mage Tower, isn't this cooler than battleships? We can go out and travel, and we can rub against other people's warships, such as Keystone My lord's Rage, isn't it?"

"That's fine, then hurry up and build the mage tower!"

"Don't worry, it will be soon."

...

Rumble!

A wide air route extends from Sheshou Town to Cuihai Valley, and a large number of road construction puppets are laying the foundation for the route.

Airships can be seen flying across the sky at any time.

The urban construction of Cuihai City has already started in a mighty way, and interested people from the entire Fengxi field are rushing here, wanting to rise together with this new city.

Located in the southwest of the Spring of Spirituality, about 25 kilometers away, it is a low hill where the twin springs are located.

Several shuttles quickly flew to this nameless hill.

After getting off the shuttle, Duke and his entourage saw a camp not far away. Captain Zina of the Broken Sword Mercenary Corps quickly led people to greet them.

"grown ups!"

"Is everything on the mountain cleaned up?"

"Almost three feet into the ground, there is not even a ring-zero spirit worm on this mountain now." Zina said respectfully.

In the past, when Duke was only a ring 1 arcanist, she could still maintain a certain personality in front of Duke.

Now that Duke is a erudite sage, Zina no longer dares to presume in the slightest, and when she sees Duke, she is extremely cautious.

This cautious approach did not make Duke feel respected, but instead gave him an awkward sense of alienation.

But the status is very different, and Zina's performance is understandable.

Duke could only go with the flow, and asked as he walked, "Have you checked the vicinity of the two springs, how do you feel?"

"My lord, this is the perfect place to build a mage's tower." Zina excitedly said, "The slightly larger spring is on the top of the unnamed mountain, which is suitable for building a mage's tower, and the smaller spring is at the foot of the mountain, within three kilometers, suitable for the practice area of ​​building a castle. "

"It's really a good place." Duke expressed satisfaction.

Keyston Nutao chose this place for him, apparently early on he saw the advantages of the twin springs, which are enough to establish a family foundation that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Duke doesn't have a family yet, but he will definitely have children and grandchildren in the future, so it is especially important to have such a family business.

"Sir, this hill doesn't have a name yet, why don't you give it one." Mu Lali suggested.

"Okay, I'll give you one." Duke walked to the top of the hill and looked around. This unnamed hill was obviously the remnant of the Boundary Mountain Range.

The Boundary Mountain Range is the mountain range that divides Cuihai Valley and Sheshou Town, extending from northeast to southwest, across hundreds of kilometers.

In fact, the Boundary Mountain Range is only a temporary name, and soon Shenjiao City Union Tower will draw up a new name for it. At that time, a five-tower meeting will definitely be held to name the surrounding geographical locations of Cuihai City.

"That's Mutation Forest No. 3, right?" Duke pointed to the location to the east.

"Yes, my lord."

The nameless hill is next to Mutant Forest No. 3, which is where the ancient maggot monster molted its shell. Until now, the evil spirit has not dissipated, and all kinds of animals and plants infected by the evil spirit have spread all over the forest, and evil plants and beasts are everywhere.

"It happened here that the ancient spirit beast repelled the ancient evil. Then, this hill is called..." Duke thought for a while.

Then he said, "It's called Lingya Mountain."

The spirit beast knocked off the shell of the evil thing, just knocking out half of the word "evil" and leaving "tooth". Lingya Mountain, this is a word game unique to Duke.

"Lingya Mountain?" Mu Lali looked at the hill at her feet, "It doesn't look like teeth either."

Duke stretched out his hand and patted the little assistant's head: "Don't think about it, with your head, you can't think of why it's dark."

"Why is that?" Mu Lali asked unwillingly.

"Because there is no reason, I just want to call it Lingya Mountain." Duke turned to look at Zina, "Your mercenary group is temporarily stationed in Lingya Mountain, and when I get the formalities and approvals, I will build mages here." Tower, it's up to you to protect the construction team."

"Yes, my lord." Zina replied.

Although the Black Jade Scorpions, the strongest spirit beasts in Cuihai Valley, have been pulled out, the spirituality dissipated from the spiritual spring still attracts a large number of spirit beasts.

Danger happens all the time.

Just as he was about to turn around, Duke soon discovered that another group of flying shuttles came from a distance and flew directly to the top of the mountain.

Stop in front of Duke and his party.

Soon a group of people came down from the shuttle, the leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties who was wearing an arcane robe.

When the middle-aged man saw Duke, he immediately showed a warm smile and strode over: "Your Excellency Duke, it's an honor to meet you."

"Who are you?"

"Please allow me to introduce myself." The middle-aged man has an aristocratic temperament, "My name is Delari Kaishu, a 3-ring arcanist, a 6-ring sky arcanist, the chief director of the Runwu City Element Tower, Kaishu Great-grandson of Viscount Decker Rat."

This long list of names is really bluffing.

Duke has been to Moisturizing City, so he naturally knows about Decker Kaishu. Apart from Loren Sangovi, the 7-ring arcane teacher, basically Decker Kaishu is the leader of the entire Wind Breath field. Second in command.

"So it's His Excellency Delailly." Duke returned the salute.

Then he asked: "Your Excellency came to Lingya Mountain on this trip, what are you talking about?"

Delari Kaishu asked in surprise: "Does this nameless hill already have a name? Lingya Mountain is the name of the hill?"

"I just got up."

"Ah, it turned out that His Excellency Duke casually named it." Deliley said with a smile, "Then let's call it Lingya Mountain. Build my mage tower."

"Sir..." Mu Lali's eyes widened, and she met a land grabber.

Duke raised his hand, stopped what Mu Lali wanted to say, and looked at Delari lightly: "You also fell in love with these twin springs?"

Deleilly didn't seem to pick up on what Duke said.

Self-serving enthusiasm said: "Yes, my brother is already a 4th-ring Earth Arcane Master, and the Kaishu family will be inherited by him, so I will go out and start my own foundation. Cuihai City is newly built and has great prospects for development. My great-grandfather also Hopefully I can make a splash here.”

"Heijiaohe land welcomes people with lofty ideals to come and develop. Your Excellency Delari, let's inspect it to your heart's content." Duke responded indifferently.

Then he ordered Zina to say: "Stay on Lingya Mountain, this is the only recent task."

Zina glanced not far away, Deliley Kaishu and others who were enjoying the scenery, then nodded solemnly: "My lord, please rest assured that Broken Sword will not ruin your lord's reputation, and you must guard Lingya Mountain for your lord." , not to be disturbed by idlers."

"Don't overcomplicate things." Duke smiled lightly, "Just wait for my message."

Soon, a group of people got on the shuttle and left Lingya Mountain.

On the way, Mu Lali said angrily: "Sir, that mouse family member is really annoying, he came to snatch our Lingya Mountain!"

"It's the Kaishu family, Viscount Dexter Kaishu, a powerful arcanist who fought in the south and north, and made great contributions to the expansion of the Wind's Breath domain."

"That can't let his great-grandson come and snatch our Lingya Mountain!"

"He can't take it away." Duke turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car window. A large area of ​​trees in Cuihai Valley had already been felled.

Just leave some 2-ring spiritual plants.

It's not that the mercenary group is unwilling to poach the 2-ring spiritual plant, but that the transplantation of the 2-ring spiritual plant needs to be cautious. Therefore, in the pioneering war, under normal circumstances, the mercenary group will not be allowed to collect 2-ring spiritual plants, but will be rewarded once when they find one.

When the new city is built, these 2-ring spiritual plants may be removed collectively, or simply included in the planning of the new city.

In Shenjiao City's Shangxingcheng Community and Beverly Manor, there are some 2-ring spiritual plants that grew naturally hundreds of years ago.

has never been moved.

"The news about the Kaishu family is very well-informed. The Twin Springs haven't been announced to the public yet, and Delaris came here to investigate... Hehe, it's obviously Bernoulli, the old guy, who revealed the news to the Kaishu family." Duke said in his heart. clear.

That didn't scare Duke, though.

He took the shuttle to the newly built flight station on the foundation of Cuihai City, and boarded the airship Chasing Shadow in the Suktara Mage Tower.

"Xiao Lili, you send someone to the post station and tell your father that I will not go back to Black Snake Manor today, and go directly to Shenjiao City."

"Okay, sir."

The Shadow Chaser took off and returned to the Suktala Mage Tower in Shenjiao City before dark.

Without stopping, Duke took the shuttle again and rushed directly to the Master Tower of Keyston, where he had dinner and met with Keyston Raging Wave.

"Master Keyston, someone has come to grab the twin springs, you have to make the decision for me!" Duke said about the situation of Delaile Kaishu, "There is no doubt that it was Bernoulli who saw that he couldn't fight for it." Shuangziquanyan hooked up with the Kaishu family."

"Hmph!" Kiston slapped the table, furious, "This old bastard is in Heijiaohe, but his heart is always outside!"

He said solemnly: "You can go back with peace of mind. I promised you the twin springs. Unless Loren Sangovi comes personally, no one will be able to take it away!"

Duke nodded.

The news has been conveyed, and there are big figures in front of him, so he can hide his achievements and fame.
