Studying Science in the Alternate World

Chapter 232 Lord of Light and Shadow

Duke has long been integrated into the light and shadow on the award stage, and the phantom played in the projector perfectly merged with himself.

All it takes is a little Illusion Arcane.

When the narration ended, the lights of the orphanage shone brightly, and the scene changed again. While the audience closed their eyes, Duke quickly hid in a corner and changed into a brand new arcane robe.

Several staff members, dressed in black, lay on the awarding platform and quickly replaced the projector with a new one. The content of the slide card roll is really limited. Even if a 3-ring slide card is used, the stored content is still far from enough.

So if you want to maintain the fluency of this whole set of phantoms, you have to do something.

If the slideshow card rolls are not enough, then increase the number of projectors, switch the projections at any time, and then use the transition from full black lights to dazzling lights to seamlessly connect the phantom scenes.

at this time.

After the light of the lighting lamp converged.

Duke has already changed his clothes and merged into a new round of phantom scenes. I saw him perfectly matching the scene, sometimes writing design sketches at his desk, sometimes operating welding equipment, and sometimes holding a slide card and falling into deep thought.

until someday.

He held a slide card in each of his left and right hands, playing them in turn continuously.

Inside the slide card were several images of blonde beauties, and it was Kiria's image, a whole set of smiling photos.

Duke looked at it, and suddenly merged the two slide cards together.

Then, the original static photo of Kylia's smile was connected into a simple dynamic smile picture, just like a GIF animation.

"Yes!"

Duke's clear voice resounded throughout the auditorium.

The arcane teacher and great arcane master with strong perception naturally knew that this was Duke performing an intangible performance in front of the phantom.

But others can't figure it out.

The truth is Duke's operation, which is perfectly synchronized with the phantom screen, making them unclear whether Duke himself is real or illusory.

Fortunately, there are not many phantom scenes.

With one operation, Duke has successfully made a camera through the quick transition of the phantom. Then Duke picked up the camera and began to slowly turn his body.

It seems to be taking images of the surroundings.

When he pointed the lens of the camera at the auditorium, the phantom scenes gradually faded away.

At the same time, the curtains around the auditorium were slowly pulled up, and the sunlight outside came in again, making it clear that Duke was really standing on the awarding stage with a camera on his shoulders, shooting images for the auditorium .

This is no longer a phantom scene, but a real real person.

Just like this, Duke carried the camera and took a picture of the audience, and then handed the camera to the staff behind him.

The staff quickly pulled out the roll of slide cards, stuffed them into a projector, and put the projector at Duke's hand.

Duke didn't say a word, and quickly pressed the switch of the projector.

The light and shadow reappeared, and the images of the auditorium appeared on the awarding platform, and the expressions and small movements of every audience were clearly visible, including the arcane instructors and great arcane mages on the rostrum. Or surprise, or smile, or admire, or nod.

Slap.

The projector was turned off by Duke.

He turned to everyone again: "It is an honor to receive the title of Erudite Sage here. It is an honor to be unanimously recognized by the Tower of Alpha and the Tower of Erudition. As an Austrian scholar, this is the most honorable achievement in my nineteen years of life." time."

After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly to the audience.

Crashing, the applause rang out, from scattered to neat, very enthusiastic.

Duke smiled and waited for the applause to subside, and continued: "I grew up in a welfare institution in a small remote market town. Technology contributes to the Seven Towers Federation."

Then he bowed to the applause again: "That's all, thank you."

Thursas and Madelon Rhodiola walked over together, one on the left and one on the right next to Duke. And in his hand was a purple hat, a gold medal with a purple background, a purple magic card, and a bright red certificate.

"It's a magical appearance." Thursas said with a big smile, "Use film and television technology to reproduce the time and integrate it into the film and television technology to become the master of light and shadow. This idea is as perfect as the technology. Duke, your erudite sage The title is well deserved."

"Thank you Lord Thursas for your affirmation." Duke responded with a smile.

"This is what you deserve. Come, let me put on the hat of a erudite sage for you, which symbolizes that you have entered the room in the field of natural history research." Celsus turned to Duke.

Duke quickly lowered his head.

Then, the erudite sage at the level of the arcane tutor will put on the erudite sage hat for him.

The main body of the hat is purple, similar to the doctor's hat on Earth, with a golden tassel hanging from the top, a golden stripe on the side of the hat, and a golden natural history logo inlaid on the forehead directly in front.

Gold is the most noble color of the Seven Towers Federation.

The erudite sages have become the most honorable group of arcanists in the Seven Towers Federation.

"Thank you." Duke put on the erudite sage hat and the gorgeous yet elegant arcane robe on his body, making his whole person look extraordinarily solemn and majestic.

then.

Thursas also wore a medal with a purple background and gold pattern for Duke: "The Medal of Erudition and Sage represents your outstanding contribution in the field of natural history research. The pattern on the medal is a camera. It corresponds to the film and television technology you invented."

"Thank you!" Duke looked down at the medal on his chest, feeling that it weighs a lot, it is a heavy honor.

Thursas put on the erudite sage hat and the erudite sage medal for Duke, and looked at Duke with satisfaction, whose temperament and appearance had reached the peak at the same time.

Said loudly: "Sage Duke, may spirituality always guide you, and climb more peaks in the routine of Austrian law!"

"Thank you for your blessing, I will continue to work hard."

Thursas turned and walked off the stage, and Madron Rhodiola turned to Duke again: "On behalf of the Tower of Knowledge, I will issue the Sage Faling Card to the Sage Duke, and the certificate of conferment with the Sage Sage, and I would like to thank you for your achievements in Natural History. Thank you for your contribution.”

When he spoke, his tone was flat, without extra politeness, as if he was perfunctory, which was inversely proportional to the enthusiastic Thursas.

It's his style.

As the instructor of the 7-ring morning star's arcane method, no one would feel dissatisfied because of his flat tone.

Neither will Duke.

He took the purple Faling card, which was also inlaid with gold borders, which was similar to the blue Faling card he got when he was awarded the title of polymath.

Blue corresponds to ring 1, ring 2, and ring 3; purple corresponds to ring 4, ring 5, and ring 6.

Du Ke is only a 2-ring arcane mage now, and theoretically he can only use the blue magic card, but he has the blessing of the title of erudite sage, so he can directly use the purple magic card-from the official identity certification, he can also use the blue magic card. It can be seen that the title of sage is on an equal footing with the great arcane master.

Holding the sage Faling card in one hand and the erudite sage canonization certificate in the other, Duke smiled brightly: "In the future, I will spread my branches and leaves for spiritual mysteries in more fields, and contribute to the Seven Towers Federation."

Hurrah!

Applause echoed in the auditorium again.

The awarding ceremony came to an end amidst applause. For the rest of the time, Duke was surrounded by reporters at the scene.

Countless questions were thrown, and the interview went on until lunch time.

...

"Huh!" Duke left the auditorium, heaving a sigh of relief.

Most of the important newspapers and periodicals of the Seven Towers Federation are concentrated in the Holy City of Offa and the eighteen lakeside cities around them.

So during the interview, the reporters took turns, giving Duke little room to breathe.

"Sir, please drink some water to moisten your throat first." Mu Lali handed over the water glass, her eyes were full of little stars, "Whether it's the appearance when you were awarded the title or the appearance when you were interviewed by the reporter, you are so handsome, It's so exhilarating!"

"Small scene." Duke tilted his lips calmly.

If you don't go to the Holy City of Arcana, how can you feel what it means to be famous? With the highlight of this awarding ceremony, you just need to wait for the media to ferment.

At that time.

In the twelve domains of the Seven Towers Federation, everyone from arcanists to ordinary people will know his name, Duke.

And the title of Giant of Light and Son of the Sun.

"Your Excellency Duke, the luncheon is ready, please follow me into the venue." Assistant Louis stepped forward to guide with a smile.

He is a 3-ring arcane mage, but in front of Duke, a 2-ring arcane mage, he also needs to use honorifics.

There is no other reason. After the conferring ceremony, Duke has become a real erudite sage, ranking among the top leaders of the Seven Towers Federation.

Be really big.

"Okay." Duke nodded, and followed Louis to the main banquet hall—the interior of the Tower of Knowledge, which is equivalent to a small city, with everything you need to eat, drink, and drink.

There are other staff members who will take Duke's entourage to another restaurant for dinner.

At this time in the main banquet hall, many arcane mages were already seated. Seeing Assistant Louis leading Duke over, someone immediately smiled and said, "Here comes the protagonist. Everyone applaud to welcome the youngest 2-ring arcane mage in the Seven Towers Federation, Learned and sage."

clap clap clap...

The applause, which was neither enthusiastic nor neat, sounded sparsely.

Duke nodded to everyone, and then, under the guidance of Louis, sat on the side of the big round table—this seat is next to the banquet director's seat, which belongs to the most important guest, and Duke should undoubtedly sit there.

On the other side of Duke, Siscoli was sitting.

No one persuaded them to drink or smoke, and the luncheon ended in a dull manner.

There are even some arcane masters who have never said a word from the beginning to the end. Many arcane masters who have been immersed in spiritual arcana for many years have become indifferent. If it is not for the face of the newly promoted erudite sages, they may not be willing to attend the banquet.

Didn't take long to rest.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a shuttle arrived at the Tower of Knowledge.

"Your Excellency Duke, let me introduce myself first." The arcanist, who got off the shuttle, said politely, "My lord, Kofit Green Coral, Executive Secretary of the United Tower Enlarged Conference, specially invites you to the United Tower Enlarging the meeting place and drawing up voting rights."

Duke's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he immediately followed Kofit Green Coral to the United Supreme Tower in the clouds next door.

As the political and military center of the entire Federation, the United Tower is magnificent and fortified.

Although there are not many spiritual plant decorations between the floors, the spiritual energy is not much worse than other places. After all, the entire Arcane Holy City is above the top spiritual spring.

Duke took the spiritual ladder to the expanded meeting place.

In an office next to the meeting place, I met the executive secretary general, a 6-ring arcanist with a strange appearance.

There are actually a pair of finger-long horns growing on the head.

Obviously, this sky arcanist has the blood of spirit beasts.

"Secretary Tango, the sage Duke has brought it." Kofit Green Coral replied respectfully.

On the way here, Duke already knew the secretary-general's name, Tango Lei Niu, who was born in the Earl's family.

Like Keyston Raging Wave, the Lei Niu family once hunted and killed a sub-dragon - Thunder Rhinoceros, refined the blood of Thunder Rhino, and integrated it into the bodies of the family's children, known as the blood of Thunder Niu. The double horns on the top are the characteristics of Lei Niu's blood.

"I've met Tango Secretary-General." Duke bowed and saluted.

Tango Secretary-General reached out his hand and signaled: "Please sit down, this time I am notifying you to come over to join the voting rights of the enlarged meeting of the Supreme Tower."

Next, Tango introduced voting rights.

As the administrative center, the United Tower is in charge of the affairs of the entire Seven Towers Federation. In addition to various specialized departments, the real power comes from two conferences.

One is the executive meeting of the United Supreme Tower, and the executive members are all appointed by the instructors of the Austrian law, responsible for the daily affairs of the federation.

One is the expanded meeting of the United Supreme Tower. All great arcane mages and sages will be automatically promoted to councilors and have voting rights. However, the enlarged meeting is only held on major federal issues, and members are responsible for voting for, against or abstaining.

"You are now canonized as a erudite sage, so you automatically become a member of the enlarged meeting and enjoy one vote." Tango said, "This vote will be issued to you through the United Taofa projection and complete the selection .”

"Apart from this, what other rights or obligations do you have?"

"Gone."

"Gone?"

"What else do you want?" Tango smiled lightly, "This voting right is the greatest right, don't underestimate it, it can dominate the operation of the entire federation."

Then, Tango further explained: "For example, your hometown, Heijiaohe, recently submitted the urban construction plan of Cuihai City. According to the usual practice, both the pioneering war and the construction of a new city need to hold an enlarged meeting, but it does not need to be extended to all council members. ..."

After a pause, he continued: "At this time, the councilors related to Heijiaohe will be called to hold a low-level enlarged meeting. As a relevant councilor, you can vote on whether to include Cuihai City in the black Jiaohe area."

With that said, Duke understood.

The members of the enlarged meeting may have a negligible vote in the federal affairs, after all, there are too many arcane mages and sages.

There are nearly 800 members of the Enlarged Council of the Federation.

One in eight percent is indeed insignificant.

However, when it comes to the construction of Cuihai City, only the lowest-level enlarged meeting is held, and only 40 or 50 members of the relevant council members may be required to vote.

At this time, one-fiftieth is quite important.

"Thank you, Secretary-General Tango, for your clarification. I already understand the meaning of the vote in my hand." Duke responded contentedly.

"Make good use of it." Tango enjoined.

"yes."

Afterwards, Tango Lei Niu served tea to see off the guests, and Executive Secretary Corfet Green Coral continued to take Duke to go through the formalities, establish the files of the members of the enlarged meeting, and sign several contracts related to voting rights to prevent fraud on the ballots .

"Your Excellency Duke, when the ballots are issued in the future, you need to carefully check the above contract, and please sign the contract after you make your choice, so as to prevent the content of the ballot being changed midway."

"I see."

"Then, I'm wasting your afternoon time." Kofete smiled and sent Duke out of the Union Tower, "I won't bother you, you go slowly."

Back to the Tower of Knowledge, Siskoli was already waiting for him.

"Duke, I still have a few friends who need to visit here, and they are scheduled to depart for the return flight in nine days. During this time, you can take a stroll around the Holy City of Alfa, and consider whether to stay in the Tower of Erudition for further studies. "

"OK."

"If you decide to stay, draw up a list of what you need. After I return, I will give this list to your family and friends and help you deliver it."

"I'll think about it first, and I will definitely give you a clear answer before departure." Duke replied.

"Okay, that's it." Siskoli left.

The little assistant, Mu Lali, immediately opened her watery eyes: "Sir, shall we take a stroll around the night view of the Holy City of Alfa after dinner?"

They stayed in the Tower of Erudition. As erudite sages, Duke and his entourage's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all borne by the Tower of Erudition, so they didn't need to worry too much.

"Well, let's go shopping at the night scene tonight, and I will spend another day tomorrow with you to go shopping around." Duke quickly made a decision, "Go out on your own in the next few days, I'm going to the Supreme Tower of Arcane, where Wait until the return trip."

He does not consider staying here for further studies for the time being.

Taking advantage of the gap between Siskoli's visits to friends, he was going to the highest tower of Orta, and roamed freely in this palace of knowledge of spiritual mysteries.

Let Xiaoyi expand the database severely.

The holy city of Austria under the night is more sci-fi than in the daytime. The emergence of strong light technology makes the city a super-large lighting.

The entire Whale Song Mirror Lake is illuminated sparklingly by the night lights of the Holy City of Alfa.

"At this time last year, the night in the Holy City of Offa was much darker than it is now." A guide accompanying Duke introduced to Duke and others, "Thanks to the strong light you invented, Lord Duke, every tower now There are bright lights installed, it's too bright at night!"

But Duke said with emotion: "The brighter lights may not be a good thing, at least the starry sky now is definitely not as bright as the starry sky a year ago."

"Well, that seems to be the case." The guide nodded, "But the stars are nothing to see, it's still interesting to watch the light show."

"I don't know if the Tower of Stars will be affected by the strong light, causing flaws in the astrology."

"This shouldn't be the case. The Tower of Stars is very high, and I heard that the astrologers in the Tower of Stars like to go to the top of the Tower of Offa to do astrology. The spire of the Tower of Offa is not visible from the ground at all, so it will not be affected by the strong light." Light interference."

Under the guidance of the guide, the shuttle shuttled freely through the streets and alleys of the Holy City of Offa.

There are basically no dirty and closed alleys here, every street is clean and tidy, and every building embodies solemnity and style.

In the capital of the Seven Towers Federation, there are indeed no poor people.

Only noble arcanists and their servants can settle above this unique top-level spiritual spring.

As for the poor.

Nature is diverted to the surrounding 18 lakeside cities.

"Sir, it would be great if we could live here, isn't it so beautiful?" Mu Lali looked at the scene outside the shuttle window, her eyes full of longing, "Small Shanshan, don't you think, I really want to live here for the rest of my life." live here."

Mu Lashan glanced at Duke who was concentrating on admiring the scenery outside the window, and nodded without hesitation: "I want to live here too, Xiao Lili."

Vivian in the back seat said softly: "The knight can't run here, and I don't want to live here."

"No, I see that many places in the Holy City of Alchemy have special Happy Valleys, which can provide knight training."

"Too comfortable, not good." Vivienne still shook her head.

Mu Lali shook Duke's arm: "Sir, what do you think of this place?"

"It's okay." Duke gave an ambiguous answer. The Holy City of Alfa may be a holy place in the eyes of others, but it feels too noble and ungrounded in his eyes.

Maybe it's the arcanist who lives there and doesn't want to get in touch with ordinary people.

But the price of a strong atmosphere of spiritual mystery is that if you live here for a long time, you will definitely be separated from the ordinary society, and thus divorced from reality, floating like a rootless tree.

"Spiritual mysteries are the spiritual mysteries of all things, not the spiritual mysteries that can only be possessed by high-ranking arcane mages... If you stay out of the ground for too long, the arcanists will lose their continued perception of spiritual mysteries sooner or later, and thus be shackles. "

certainly.

Duke just sighed in his heart. The arcanist living here may not be aware of this situation. After all, it is very easy to solve it.

After living in the holy city of Aofa for a period of time, and then moving out to live for a period of time, it will naturally become grounded.

in this way.

After wandering until late at night, Duke returned to the Intellectual Tower Guest House where he was staying with his little assistants who were still full of ideas.

On the second day, I took my assistants with me and took a tour of 18 lakeside cities with different styles.

Then the tour ended.

Go alone to the tallest building in the Holy City of Offa, and also the tallest building in the entire Federation of Seven Towers, the head of the seven towers of the Federation - the Supreme Tower of Offa.

The base of the entire tower has 700 steps.

There is no shortcut. If you want to enter this tower, you have to walk through the 700 steps. Each step is 30 centimeters high, which means that a base is 210 meters high.

No one is exempt.

"It's no wonder some arcane masters are unwilling to leave the Alpha Tower. Every time they enter and exit, they have to walk up to 700 steps, so they must not exhaust themselves to death?"

Duke complained in his heart, and then walked up the steps step by step. As a ring 1 knight with strong physical fitness, these 700 steps were for him to climb up in one breath without needing to pant.

At the end of the steps.

A tall statue stands tall.

"Abbots, from 1057 to 1204 in the storm calendar, the founder of the Seven Towers Federation, the first sage of the Temple of Valor." On the base of the statue, there is a brief introduction of the statue's characters, but a few words have already described his magnificent life Come on.

"It turned out to be Abbots!" Duke stood in front of the statue, looking up at Abbots in the image of this humble little old man.

The Seven Towers Federation was established in 1127 of the Storm Calendar by a group of arcanists who were persecuted in the Stormwind Empire in the depths of the jungle.

The leader is this Abbots.

According to the current definition of spiritual arcane magic, in fact Abbots was only a second-ring arcane mage throughout his life, and he lived for 147 years—it was because of his weak strength that the original arcane mage was suppressed by the knights and had to escape into the Start a new stove in the forest.

But it was also the group of arcane mages headed by Abbots who established the Seven Towers Federation and continued to explore spiritual arcane methods, which finally allowed the arcane mages to stand at the top of the world.

Later, the Hall of Valor was established, and Abbots became the first inductee.

Facing the sculpture.

Duke bowed slightly, and then strode into the gate of Offa Tower. With the purple sage magic card, he walked unimpeded all the way.

But when the screen was turned.

No staff came to greet him, but a colorful jellyfish the size of a turtle, swimming in the air, came to Duke.

"Welcome, Lord of Light and Shadow, Duke."

This colorful jellyfish, which looks flat and has symmetrical stripes, looks very weird. It has no tentacles, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, or even a single organ in its entire body. It is like a spread of bread.

That's all.

But Duke didn't dare to take it lightly, but responded solemnly: "Hello, shell wise man, I didn't expect you to already know who I am."

"Just call me a shell, no need to add a wise man, my wisdom is just imposed on me by time." The jellyfish-like shell said gently, "You, Duke, are really amazing. You have mastered the art of light and shadow at a young age." Truth, look at how the newspapers describe you..."

The shell sage doesn't have a vocal organ, but Duke can hear it speak, and beside it, which is outlined by fluorescent light, there is also a newspaper outlined by fluorescent light.

The two headlines of "Spirituality" in the newspaper are very eye-catching.

This is the "Spirituality" daily issued by Offata to the entire Seven Towers Federation. There is a full-body photo of Duke on the front page of the daily.

"The newly promoted erudite sage Duke was crowned in the erudite tower, he is the master of light and shadow who masters the reproduction of time!"

This top-level newspaper, which is full of authority, directly named Duke the "Master of Light and Shadow", and praised the greatness of film and television technology.

"It's too good." Duke was proud, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Everything is spiritual guidance, which just happened to let me find a little inspiration."
