  Chapter 259 Speed ​​of life and death

   There is no news about the will of the stars, and the media in the Holy City of Offa and the surrounding eighteen lakeside cities have been issued a gag order.

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

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

  He is still a big hit 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 climb to the pinnacle of spiritual Arcana.

   There is an endless stream of visitors.

  There are too many people 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 court 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 mystery.

   Regardless of whether Goddess Nyx is the will of the planet or the **** of the previous civilization, he must embark on a promising path to the future.

   But to walk out of 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~www.novelbuddy.com~, he raised his head and glanced at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.

  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. "Actually, it's nothing. I was just dazzled by the flattery of the past few days, so I felt disappointed and resentful. Looking back at my original intention, all of this was expected."

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

   It was just 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 instructors of Huiyue Arcana.

   Actually, not so much.

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

   "Yes, 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 wise man waved the tentacles on his head, "Then I won't bother you."

   Then its figure slowly dissipated.

   Time flies, three days have passed since the will of the stars was activated, and the Star of Duke in the Duke Spirit Sea is officially filled with the imprint of the stars.

   "Full charge, once every three days."

  He directly looked 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 thinking, 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, and sat on the chair 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, which is what the goddess Nyx calls the starry sky."

  The starry sky is part of the wild world, but it seems to be one 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 are 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, and even the last generation of civilization.

  I want to figure out the truth of this world.

   "Are you planning to go back?" Thursas said in surprise, "Aren't you planning to stay in the Holy City of Arcana for further studies? The Erudition Tower, the Faling Tower, and even the United Tower and the Alpha Tower, as long as you want to further study, they will prepare suitable positions for you. 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 shook his head and said.

  Duke denied it: "Don't dare."

   "You don't dare, it's not like... the old man didn't hit you, Duke, the activation of the will of the stars may have affected your judgment." Thursus cared for Duke. At his level, he didn't care much about the development of the family for a long time, and only supported the descendants of spiritual arcana.

  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 palace."

   "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; the promotion from the 6th ring to the 7th ring to become an arcane teacher is another important node. Only at this moment can you spy on the foundation of spiritual arcana."

  Thersas 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 the hardships of people's lives, and then understand what it means to lead the entire Seven Towers Federation." Thursas said with expectation.

in this way.

  Duke officially confirmed the day to leave the Holy City of Arcane, and asked the postman owl to deliver a letter to several familiar Arcane Masters.

  So quietly on March 10th, they set off on the battleship Bibo for the return journey.

   Woohoo!

  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 imprint of the stars in Duke 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.

  The dream of stars.

   starry sky.

  He has come 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.

   walked 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, and rich spirituality permeated the surroundings.

  All kinds of spirit beasts are moving around happily.

   "This is... I can return to the real world from here!" Duke quickly understood the message 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 star, and each other is the key."

   But Duke did not choose to return here.

  Once he returns, he will 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 could feel the natural power of this tree king, which was somewhat similar to the three-ringed elf Ben-Red Tree King he had experienced before.

   "In other words, this is also a 3-ringed tree king that gave birth to a great elf?" Duke tried to sense around, trying to find the great elf born from the tree king.

   This 3-ringed big elf tree king is in the depths of the 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 monkeys and other spirit beasts who played around on the tree king for many years to cultivate the great elf.

  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 thoughts left the tree king.

  Deep in 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 seems that the butterfly elf discovered something, and these humans performed a dance similar to a sacrifice around the tree king.

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

  They are similar to humans, but their skin is wheat-colored, their ears are thin and long, and their faces are very narrow and long. 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.

   did a dance.

   Talked to the big butterfly elf again, and then this group of special humans disappeared into the jungle with the big butterfly elf.

  In the starry sky.

  Duke is still choosing to touch the stars. He touched all the 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 location to return to reality.

   "Weird!"

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

   "Represents a star falling?"

  Duke didn'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 again. If you touch a star and the corresponding tree king happens to be in a human city, it will be interesting!"

  Da Arcane Masters, you 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 to travel freely in the entire 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 near the spiritual spring can the tree king grow!"

but.

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

   Then the surrounding scenery reset, and he returned to reality, still 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.

   Discovered the imprint of the stars in the Star of Duke, the spiritual energy has been exhausted, and then look at the time that Xiaoyi reminded, the duration of a spiritual energy lasted about fifteen minutes.

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

  In the dream of the 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 is my Duke star and the key to each other?" Duke suddenly thought.

   Soon 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'm afraid I have lost contact with the tree king... Otherwise, I will only go to a fixed place when I leave the starry sky."

just in case.

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

  Only as it is now, where you enter from where you come back from, is the best key.

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

   Then.

  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 and get me some."

   "Okay, 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: "The Dickens Sage Master Tower announced that the Puppet Core Branding Instrument has been officially developed; the staff of the Learning Tower revealed that the second-generation Spirit Card Branding Instrument has entered the countdown to offline."

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

  Duke’s undeveloped branding instruments have been successfully conquered by the arcanists. 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 arcane mages of the Seven Towers Federation are powerful, but they lack a little inspiration from Duke.

  Of course, Duke might not have had so many inspirations if the scientific and technological civilization on the earth hadn’t brought Duke a broad vision.

   This is really true, the stones of other mountains can be used to 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 had nothing to do with them. But after the branding ring sank, card making has become card printing, 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.

  Ordinary people lack the perception of spiritual power after all. Simple tasks can be handled, but they need 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 awakening potion of 23 silver dragons is basically affordable for 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 practice.

  Third, the probability of opening the spiritual sea is too low.

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

   This is harder than the college entrance examination on earth.

  Many ordinary families will first choose 7 Silver Dragon'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 a 11 silver dragon blood boiling potion, let the children give it a go and open the blood sea-opening the blood sea is risky, the predecessor of Duke, the blood boil drained the energy, and died.

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

after all.

  Even Qi Sea and Blood Sea don’t have talent, so how can we guarantee that Ling Hai has talent, so it’s better to be an ordinary person and live well.

   "Actually, the low-risk Sanhai Potion may not be necessary. Set up a safe place to take it, so that arcanists 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 responded: "Maybe it is to reduce the risk of Sanhai Pharmaceutical, or it may be to establish a safe place to take it. This is what the stars have decided."

  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 more 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."

  Unknowingly.

   Two days have passed.

  The battleship Bibo has already headed towards the Spring Flower City in the Lanyun Domain, and will replenish in the Spring Flower City once, and then transfer 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, we will leave when the supplies are finished."

  Duke is not interested in visiting Chunhua City. With his current reputation, once he enters Chunhua City, socializing will be inevitable.

   Come and go again and again, and it will be delayed for a few days.

   "Go back early and 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, and 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 at all.

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

  Duke stretched.

  Mu Lali and Mu Lashan took their respective positions, pinching an 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 7-ring Morning Star Arcane Teacher. Lock my Bibo in a small space!"

"What!"

  Duke was taken aback for a moment, and 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 beam of light hanging down just shrouded the entire Bibo, so that the Bibo could only stand still within the range of the beam of light.

   "The Cage of the Star!" Duke's eyes narrowed, and then he thought of thousands of possibilities, "Quick, contact Lord Keyston in reverse, and let the Lord 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 adults!" Captain Herdos quickly brought his 2-ring Eudemons - the Golden Horn Goat, and immediately merged with the Eudemons.

  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 rotated violently, and a light shadow was projected from the battleship, condensing into the giant arcane mage phantom of Keyston Raging Wave.

   "What's going on?" Keyston phantom turned his head and looked at the battleship.

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

  Kiston heard the words, and immediately looked up at the sky.

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

   Before he could finish speaking, a **** hand that was emitting billowing black smoke suddenly grabbed it from outside the cage of stars.

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

   Without any vibration.

  The pale hand shattered into **** 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 Rage roared, and a defensive network composed of arcane techniques was instantly condensed around the phantom.

  However, the arcane defensive net also didn't play a big role, so it was snuffed out by the big hand billowing black smoke.

   Fortunately, the arcane defensive net is instant arcane. 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 roared as it fought against the big hand of the black smoke.

   Among the battleships.

  Duke’s eyes flashed in 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 to the sky at an extremely fast speed, smashing the dazzling star.

  Stars are replaced and the Star Cage dissipates.

   Then, a new beam of light hangs down.

  The battleship Bibo was once again shrouded in this beam of light, and the **** smoke hand that caught it, like foam in the sun, was quickly burnt and shattered by the moonlight, and disappeared completely.

   "Huh!"

  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 a disaster.

  He looked beyond the moonlight beam, and at some point, a huge pitch-black figure appeared, just like the **** smoke hand before, billowing black smoke billowed from the body of this pitch-black figure, hovering outside the moonlight cage, roaring unwillingly.

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

   Looking for tickets~
