Studying Science in the Alternate World

Chapter 259 The Speed ​​of Life and Death

There is no news about the will of the stars, and the media in the holy city of Aofa and the surrounding eighteen lakeside cities have been given a gag order.

In the next few days, Duke maintained a life of two points and one line.

Go to Offa Tower to read materials during the day, and go back to the Crystal Palace to rest at night.

He is still a popular figure in the Holy City of Arcana, and the most dazzling young Arcane Mage in the entire Seven Towers Federation. Everyone believes that his future will reach the pinnacle of spiritual Arcana.

There was an endless stream of visitors.

There are too many who are regarded as idols.

A little news about him in the news can be sold out, and some noble ladies even published newspapers to woo Duke.

But all of this was blocked by Duke.

After opening the Will of the Stars, he communicated with the goddess Nyx, which made him firm in his idea of ​​​​renovating the spiritual arcana.

Regardless of whether Goddess Nyx is the will of the planet or the god of the last generation of civilization, he has to embark on a promising future.

But if one wants to take such a path, aspiring to the authority of the Seven Towers Federation is only the first step.

"I came from a distant place, and I never want to live a mediocre life. Now that I have the power to protect myself, I will forge ahead and climb the peak!" While reading, he raised his head and glanced out the window. blue sky with white clouds.

The shell wise man swam over at some point: "Duke."

"Shell wise."

"I can feel the resentment in your heart."

"It seems that I haven't concealed my knowledge deeply enough." Duke smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I was just dazzled by the flattery of the past few days, so I felt disappointed and resentful. Looking back at the original intention , all of this was expected.”

When he set off to the Arcane Holy City to announce the Ring of Branding, he was very sure of his future steps, which was to return after a wave of prestige.

It's just that he was accidentally selected to activate the will of the stars, and was inspired by the goddess Nyx.

Let him drift, thinking that he can already dominate the trend of the Seven Towers Federation, and be on an equal footing with the teachers of Huiyue Arcana.

In fact, not even close.

"Seeing that you can adjust yourself well, I'm happy for you." Shell wise man responded.

"Yeah, so I need to concentrate on studying and consolidate my foundation." Duke said with a smile, "Shell wise man, thank you for enlightening me."

"I didn't do anything, but you have found your original intention." The shell wise man waved the tentacles on his head, "Then I won't bother you."

Then its figure slowly dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since the will of the stars was activated, and the star of Duke in Duke Linghai was officially filled with the imprint of the stars.

"Full charge, once every three days."

He looked directly into the Linghai in the library compartment of Offata, and began to study the Star of Duke, trying to communicate the imprints of the stars in it.

next moment.

A spiritual information feedback was directly transmitted to his mind, allowing him to instantly understand the function of this imprint of the stars.

"Sure enough, this is the key to enter and exit the dream of the stars." Duke opened his eyes, sitting on the chair and thinking silently, "When the will of the stars was activated, I was also pulled into the dream of the stars. This is an independent area, that is, The so-called starry sky of the goddess Nyx."

The starry sky is a part of the wild world, but it seems to be a dimension higher than the wild world, parallel to it.

Without the imprint of the stars, it is impossible for mortals to step into the dream of the stars.

"So, let me try to go in once?" Duke glanced at the surrounding environment. Although no one was around, he had the gaze of a wise man.

The entire Offa Tower is the body of the shell wise man, and every corner is watched by it all the time.

So Duke chose to leave Offata.

Did not return to the Crystal Palace in Thursas.

The reason is the same. The Crystal Palace also has the ancient spirits acting as tower spirits, monitoring most areas-only the guest rooms and other areas, which belong to the areas that tower spirits cannot monitor, but Duke does not intend to take the risk of being discovered.

"Let's go to the battleship Bibo, just go home."

So soon, Duke bid farewell to Thursas.

In the past few days, Celsus and other Huiyue arcane instructors have been secretly discussing the decree of Goddess Nyx.

They rummaged through the ancient library of Offata, looking for any records related to the goddess Nyx, the will of the stars, or even the last civilization.

To find out the truth of this world.

"Are you going to go back?" Celsas said in surprise, "Aren't you going to stay in the Holy City of Arcana for further studies? Knowledge Tower, Faling Tower, and even Union Tower, Arcane Tower, as long as you want to study, they will prepare for you For a suitable position, the Supreme Committee welcomes you to join at any time."

"No, my lord." Duke insisted, "The most urgent thing right now is my practice. The Holy City of Arcana is too prosperous, so I can't calm down."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

"From what I see, you are dissatisfied with your current situation." Thursas said, shaking his head.

Duke denied, "Don't dare."

"You don't dare, it's not that you didn't... This old man didn't hurt you, Duke, the activation of the will of the stars may have affected your judgment." Thursas cared for Duke. Concerned about the development of the family, only supporting the descendants of spiritual mysteries.

He continued: "Every decision made by the Seven Towers Federation is not only related to the stable life of hundreds of millions of people in the Federation, but also related to the construction of the spiritual arcane temple."

"I understand that."

"No, you still don't understand. It is an important node to be promoted from the 3rd ring to the 4th ring and become a great arcane mage. Only by clearing the fog of spiritual arcana can you have a clear understanding of the world; from the 6th ring to the 7th ring, you can become an arcane teacher. , is another important node, only at this moment can you pry into the foundation of spiritual mysteries."

Thursas looked at Duke with burning eyes: "It's not that the old man and others are in love with the stack and are unwilling to let go of the power in their hands. It's because you haven't reached the height where you can shoulder the responsibility."

Duke nodded sincerely: "I understand."

"So you go back, Cuihai City has just been built, and the rise of a new city may give you a little understanding of how difficult people's lives are, and then understand what it means to lead the entire Seven Towers Federation." Celsas said with a smile. Hope said.

in this way.

Duke officially confirmed the date of leaving the Holy City of Arcane, and asked the postman owl to send a letter to several familiar Arcane Masters.

Then quietly on the day of March 10th, set off on the battleship Bibo for the return journey.

Woo hoo!

The whistle sounded at the flight station, and the Bibo flew into the blue sky and white clouds. When the city of Blue Whale Bay completely disappeared from sight, Duke took a deep breath.

Lock the door.

Then he looked inside the Linghai, and resolutely touched the imprints of the stars in Duke's Star.

The next moment, the familiar five-sense magnification experience came. In the luxurious lounge in front of him, everything seemed to be pulled and distorted by some force, and then gradually lost its original appearance, and finally turned into darkness, and a little bit of starlight rose from the darkness .

Dreamland of stars.

starry sky.

He's already in.

I still wear the same clothes as in reality, but the shoes on my feet are gone, and I step on a familiar star with bare feet.

"This is... my Duke Star!"

Duke recognized the star, then looked up and found that in the dream of stars, only countless stars were lit.

"Goddess Nyx!" No matter how much he shouted, there was no response from Dreamland of Stars.

He began to walk, stepping on the void under his feet, and the star of Duke followed him all the time, as if this was the foundation for him to stand and walk in the dream of stars.

Take a few steps.

Walking to the edge of another star, Duke couldn't help reaching out and touching this star. The next moment, a thought feedback came from the star.

Like a scroll, it suddenly unfolded in front of Duke.

He saw himself transformed into a towering tree, surrounded by dense and deep primitive jungles, filled with rich spirituality.

All kinds of spirit beasts are moving around happily.

"This is... I can return to the real world from here!" Duke quickly understood the information of the thought feedback, "This is a tree king with three rings. In reality it is a tree king. In the starry sky, it is a tree king." The stars are each other's key."

However, Duke did not choose to return here.

Once he returns, he will instantly move from the battleship Bibo to the tree king who doesn't know where he is, let alone the danger.

He left the star and walked quickly to another star.

After touching it, I also feel that I have become a tree king with three rings again, but this tree king with three rings is very strange.

Duke can feel the natural power of this tree king, which is somewhat similar to the three-ringed great elf Ben-Red Tree King he has felt before.

"In other words, this is also a three-ringed tree king that gave birth to a great elf?" Duke tried to sense around, trying to find the big elf that the tree king gave birth to. .

This 3-ringed big elf tree king lives in the depths of a secluded forest.

"Strange, if the mangrove king is a great elf cultivated by humans, then who cultivated the great elf in this dense forest?" Duke guessed that it was a spirit beast like a monkey, who lived here for many years. Only when the tree king frolics, the great elf is cultivated.

Just like the chicken he contracted, it was born after years of cultivation by the ants.

In this dense forest with no traces of humans, there are probably only monkeys, which are the most suitable for cultivating great elves.

Again there is no option to return to reality here.

Duke quickly left the star, but what he didn't know was that not long after his mind left the tree king.

In the depths of the dense forest where the tree king was, a butterfly-like elf led a group of humans wrapped in animal skins and leaves to the shade of the tree king.

It seemed that the butterfly spirit had discovered something, and these humans performed a sacrificial dance around the tree king.

If you look closely, you can see that these humans are not real humans.

They are similar to humans, but have wheaten skin, thin and long ears, and a very narrow and long face. The hands, feet, limbs and figure are long, but slender without losing the sense of strength. It can be seen from dancing that they are vigorous and sensitive.

There was a dance.

After chatting with the Butterfly Fairy again, this special group of humans disappeared into the jungle with the Butterfly Fairy.

among the stars.

Duke is still choosing to touch the stars. He touched the few nearby stars and found that each star corresponds to a tree king in the real world, and he can choose this tree king as the way to return to reality. Location.

"Weird!"

"If a tree king really corresponds to a star, then what is the tree king cut down by humans?"

"Represents the falling of a star?"

Duke couldn't quite understand why the stars in the starry dream had a direct connection with the tree king in reality.

The two are clearly unrelated.

"Go ahead and touch it. If you touch a star and the corresponding tree king happens to be in a human city, it will be interesting!"

Great arcane mages can copy the ring of projection and descend from thousands of miles away.

As for him, it seems that he only needs to take a trip from the starry sky, and he can travel freely in the whole wild world, where there is a tree king.

"If I can figure out the tree kings corresponding to all the stars, doesn't it mean that I can find any spiritual spring in the world?" Duke had another thought that excited him, "Only spiritual Only by the edge of the spring can the tree king grow!"

but.

Just when he was about to continue walking, suddenly the world spun, and the starry sky was pulled and distorted by mysterious forces.

Then the surrounding scenery reset, and he returned to reality, still in the luxurious lounge of the Bibo airship.

"Huh, fortunately, the position has not deviated with the movement of the Bibo, otherwise it would have been left behind in the forest."

He closed his eyes and looked inside.

After discovering the imprint of the stars in Duke's Star, the psychic energy has been exhausted. Then look at the time that Xiaoyi reminded. A psychic energy period lasted about fifteen minutes.

"Fifteen minutes is a bit short, and it may not allow me to persist in walking to all the stars in the starry sky." Duke frowned and pondered, "Next time you go in, you can try to see if you can fly. If you can fly, It's much more convenient."

In the dream of stars, the positions of the stars are far away from each other. It is difficult to touch the stars that are far enough away within fifteen minutes by walking.

"Besides, which tree king does my star Duke share with each other as a key?" Duke suddenly thought.

Soon he was relieved: "I'm afraid not, Goddess Nyx gave it to me, allowing me to enter and leave the starry sky from any place at will, I am afraid that I have already lost contact with the tree king... Otherwise, I will leave the starry sky, and it will be a waste of money." I can only go to a fixed place."

just in case.

The tree king at a fixed location was cut down, maybe Duke couldn't even determine the location of his return.

Only now is the best key to return from wherever you enter.

"Xiao Yi."

"Master, I am here."

"Empty the maximum power to recharge the imprint of the stars." Duke intends to explore the dream of the stars a few more times to see if he can find a star that corresponds to the tree king in the Federation of Seven Towers.

If you can find the star corresponding to the tree king of the 3rd ring in Cuihai City - Green Banyan Forest.

No matter where Duke is in the future, he can quickly return to Cuihai City and return to his own Duke Sage Mage Tower.

"really not bad!"

"Try to find it as soon as possible!"

Duke has experimented to understand the basic functions of the dream of stars, although he was not able to see the goddess Nyx again, and he felt a little regretful.

But the Star of Duke bestowed by Goddess Nyx is by no means inferior to the revelation of the will of the stars.

"Thank you Goddess for your generosity. I will make good use of Duke's Star, and strive to bring this decaying world to the right track as soon as possible, and then take you... far away!" Duke secretly raised a flag in his heart.

subsequently.

He rang the rope bell and called his little assistant, Mu Lali, "I left in a hurry today, and I haven't read any newspapers yet, go get me some."

"All right, sir."

Soon Mu Lali came back with a few copies of today's newspaper, and Duke casually flipped through a copy of "Seven Towers Daily".

This newspaper is already his daily must-read.

The headline on the front page does not have Duke's name, but the content is related to Duke: "Dickens Sage Master Tower announced that the puppet core branding instrument has been officially developed; the staff of the Boxue Tower revealed that the second-generation Spirit Card branding instrument has entered the offline Countdown."

It has been more than half a month since the announcement of the Ring of Branding technology.

The various branding instruments that Duke has not yet developed have been successfully conquered by the arcane masters. Even the second-generation spirit card branding instrument, which is an instrument capable of branding 2-ring spirit cards, has almost completed its research and development.

have to say.

The arcanists of the Seven Towers Federation are powerful, but they lack a little inspiration from Duke.

Of course, Duke may not have had so many inspirations if it were not for the broad horizons brought to him by the scientific and technological civilization on the earth.

This is true, the stone from other mountains can attack jade.

When Penrose came to chat, Duke chatted with him about today's news: "Mr. Penrose, as a card making scholar, what changes do you think the Ring of Branding will bring to the field of card making?"

"Speaking of this, I have participated in many academic conferences in the Holy City of Offa and made many inferences, but there is one point that everyone agrees with."

"Oh, what is it?"

"Spiritual apprentices are about to get on the right track." Penrose said with emotion, "Take the field of card making as an example. In the past, spiritual apprentices could only serve as assistants, engaged in card repairing and other work, and card making has nothing to do with them. But under the branding ring After sinking, card making became printing card, and apprentices can do it concurrently.”

"Even ordinary people can operate it."

"Ordinary people can indeed operate it, but the maintenance and operation of the instrument, as well as the preparation of the 2-ring spirit card, require spiritual apprentices to get started."

"That's true." Duke nodded.

After all, ordinary people lack the perception of spiritual power, and simple tasks can be handled, but it needs to involve the scheduling of spiritual power, and ordinary people are blind.

Penrose said with emotion: "In the future, spiritual apprentices will also be a valuable resource. I feel that the high-level federation will sooner or later promote the safer Sanhai potion on a large scale, so that all people can have the opportunity to open Sanhai, so as to expand the number of Sanhai monks. "

At this stage, the 23 Silver Dragon's Awakening Potion is basically affordable by all people.

It's just that there are still many poor families who are unwilling to give their children awakening potions. First, there are risks in taking them, and second, there are risks in spiritual apprenticeship.

Thirdly, the probability of opening the spiritual sea is really low.

Taking Snake Town as an example, among a population of 100,000, less than 500 spiritual apprentices have been accumulated within a decade or two, and there are only two or three arcane masters.

This is more difficult than the college entrance examination on earth.

Many ordinary families will first choose 7 Yinlong's qi-increasing potion, the probability of opening the sea of ​​qi is higher, and there is no risk.

If Qihai cannot be opened, most families will be persuaded that their children do not have the talent of Sanhai at all.

But there will still be most families, grit their teeth, buy an 11 silver dragon blood boiling potion, and let the children give it a go to open the blood sea-opening the blood sea is risky. Energy, dying.

If the sea of ​​blood cannot be opened, most families will shrink back and stop buying spirit awakening potions to take a chance.

after all.

Sea of ​​Qi and Sea of ​​Blood don't even have talent, so how can they guarantee that Linghai has talent, so it's better to be an ordinary person and live well.

"Actually, you don't necessarily need the low-risk Sanhai Potion. Set up a safe place to take it, so that arcane mages or great knights can rescue the child if necessary, and save the child's life. I believe most families will be willing to try it."

23 It's just a silver dragon, give it a try, if it succeeds, it will be a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

Penrose replied: "Maybe it is to reduce the risk of Sanhai Pharmacy, or it may be to establish a safe place to take it. This is the decision of the stars."

Duke also nodded when he heard the words: "Yes."

"However, you have the voting right to expand the meeting. On such a decision, you should be invited to vote."

"It doesn't matter, one vote for me is not too much, and one vote for me is not too much." Duke said indifferently, "In short, everyone can clearly see the pros and cons of this matter, and there will be no controversy."

unconsciously.

Two days have passed.

The battleship Bibo has already headed towards the Spring Flower City in the Lanyun Domain. It will replenish in the Spring Flower City once, and then turn to the Runwu City in the Wind Breath Domain.

"In half a day, we will arrive at Chunhua City, sir, shall we take a stroll in the city?"

"No, let's go after supplies."

Duke has no interest in wandering around Chunhua City. With his current reputation, once he enters Chunhua City, socializing will be inevitable.

Come and go again and again, a few days have to be delayed again.

"Go back early, rest early, I'm already missing my Duke Sage Mage Tower." It's been more than a month since I was away from home, counting the travel time.

I miss Heijiaohe land very much.

In Heijiaohe land, he is a well-deserved big shot. Kiston Rage regarded him as his son-in-law. Erwin wanted to take advantage of his aura, but Bernoulli didn't deal with him. But Bernoulli wanted to start a family, so he didn't dare to provoke him.

"Golden nest and silver nest are not as good as our doghouse!"

Duke stretched.

Mu Lali and Mu Lashan took their positions, pinching one arm each, and waiting for Duke to lie down comfortably.

But the next moment.

Then a harsh siren was heard, resounding throughout the battleship Bibo, and the voice of the commander of the battleship came from the loudspeaker.

"My lord, I have encountered an unknown situation. It is suspected to be the star cage of the 7th Ring Morning Star Arcane Teacher, and locked my Bibo in a small space!"

"What!"

Duke was taken aback for a moment, then through the porthole, he saw a star lit up in the blue sky and white clouds above his head at some point.

A star brighter than the sun.

The hanging beam of light just shrouded the entire Bibo, so that the Bibo could only stand still within the range of the beam of light.

"The Cage of Stars!" Duke's eyes narrowed, and then he thought of thousands of possibilities, "Quickly, contact Master Keyston in reverse, and let him come to the clone!"

After finishing speaking, he directly reached out and held the round jade pendant hanging on his chest in his hand, ready to activate the moonlight cage at any time.

"Protect the Lord!" Captain Herdos quickly brought his 2-ring Phantom Beast - the Golden Horn Goat, and immediately merged with the Phantom Beast.

The next moment, the golden horned goat turned into a golden light and covered Herdos's body, as if putting on a set of golden light armor for him.

at the same time.

The guarding knights on the battleship have already activated the projection ring in the projection room, waiting for the feedback from Keyston Rage.

In an instant, the instrument turned violently, and a light shadow was projected from the battleship, condensing into the giant arcanist phantom of Keyston Raging Wave.

"What's going on?" Kiston phantom turned around and looked at the battleship.

"My lord, we are locked by the star cage!" A great knight, standing in the battle cabin at the top of the battleship, reported in time.

After hearing the words, Keyston immediately looked up at the sky.

Then his eyes were wide open, and his voice was thunderous: "Which master of the arcane teacher, are you joking with me, Keyston Raging Wave?"

Before the words were finished, a big black hand that was emitting billowing black smoke suddenly grabbed it from outside the Star Prison.

Kiston Rage shouted, condensed a 4-ring arcane technique-Pale Hand, turned into a big pale hand, and collided with the big hand billowing in black smoke.

No vibrations whatsoever.

The pale hand shattered into slag like tofu, and then the big hand billowing in black smoke grabbed the phantom of the arcane mage of Keyston Raging Waves.

"Assaulting and killing colleagues deserves death!" Kiston Raging Wave roared, and a defensive network composed of arcane techniques was instantly condensed around the phantom.

However, this arcane defense net also didn't play much role, and it was snuffed out by the big hand billowing black smoke.

Fortunately, the arcane defensive net is an instant arcane technique, one net is broken, and another net is condensed, continuing to block the big hand of black smoke.

But on the other floor of the battleship Bibo, another big hand with billowing black smoke condensed out and grabbed the battleship Bibo.

"Run away!" The phantom of Keyston Raging Wave yelled while resisting the black smoke's big hand.

Among the battleships.

Duke's eyes flickered with shock, and he was slightly relieved in the shock. In the next second, a light rose from his hand, quickly turned into a full moon, rose from the battleship Bibo, and rushed towards the battleship Bibo at an extremely fast speed. Skyrim, smash that dazzling star.

The stars were replaced, and the Star Prison dissipated with it.

Then, a new beam of light hung down.

The battleship Bibo was once again shrouded in this beam of light, and the big black smoke hand that was grabbed was like foam in the sun, quickly burned and shattered by the moonlight, and disappeared completely.

"call!"

Duke breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Thursas gave him a life-saving talisman and a moonlight cage in advance, otherwise this encounter may be very bad.

He looked beyond the moonlight beam, and at some point, a huge pitch-black figure appeared, just like the big black smoke hand before, billowing black smoke also appeared from the body of this pitch-black figure, hovering outside the moonlight cage, issued an unwilling growl.

"It's the fallen demon!" The phantom of Keyston Raging Wave looked at the black smoke figure outside, startled and confused.
