Chapter 210 Duke the Loremaster

   Bright, brighter than the brightest lighting in the Tower of Learning, Duke held a sample of a strong hand lamp and shone the light on the wall.

   This strong and dazzling light made everyone onlookers exclaim.

  The chief director Irwin, who was standing next to Duke, had an amazing light in his eyes, and exclaimed in his mouth: "It's so bright!"

   "My lord, you can try it yourself." Duke turned off the button of the strong light hand lamp, and then handed it to the greedy Irwin.

   This sample is quite peculiar.

  The thickness is about as thick as an adult's arm. Instead of using a built-in memory card, a card interface is designed at the rear.

  The model uses a 3-ring spiritual storage card, and only one spiritual storage card costs tens of thousands of gold dragons.

   After all, it is a sample and a concept model, so it is necessary to pile up the best technology.

  The lamp head is even more exaggerated, not much smaller than the washbasin. A total of nine ordinary lamp holders are stacked together, and each ordinary lamp holder contains nine light-emitting structures. Once it is opened, it is like a small artificial sun rising.

  Erwin held the concept bright light and pushed the button excitedly.

   Immediately, a beam of light that was bright enough to blind people hit the wall. Even though it was daytime, the hall was already brightly lit, but it was still illuminated by this beam of light.

   "That's brilliant!"

   "It's so interesting!"

  Erwin’s psychic ability instantly sensed the operating principle of the entire glare hand lamp, and then a series of exclamations came out: "This is definitely a great idea, a great invention of natural history, Duke, you are born to be a polymath!"

   "Master Erwin, will this work of mine be recorded in the annals of natural history?" Duke asked with his hands behind his back, smiling.

   "Enough, enough, not only the strong light hand lamp is enough, but also the previous portable lamp is enough!"

   "Then can you do something special for me to review the patent application for the strong light hand lamp series as soon as possible?" Duke hit the snake with the stick and immediately made a request, "I plan to launch the strong light hand lamp on the market as soon as possible to benefit the public and meet the light needs of the people."

   "Haha, don't worry, I will handle your patent application myself." Erwin said, handing the strong light to another arcanist.

   Then savored silently for dozens of seconds, and sighed: "The strong light hand lamp is really exquisite, even I am deeply inspired!"

   "I am honored to be able to bring you a little bit of thinking." Duke laughed.

   "No, no, no, this is my honor." Erwin patted Duke on the shoulder, "I applied for the title of polymath for you before, and the Erudition Tower in Runwu City has already accepted the review. I sent someone to inquire about the dispute between my portable lamp and the aura lamp, so the review was delayed."

  He continued: "But now, after I pass the application, the patent will be reported to the Erudition Tower of the Holy City of Arcane. Soon, without review, the Holy City of Arcane will personally award you the title of polymath!"

  Looking carefully at Duke, who was showing a bright smile, Erwin praised with a smile: "Giant of Light, what a nice company name, Duke, you are a well-deserved Giant of Light, and you will make the Seven Towers Federation even brighter!"

  Duke smiled brightly, and responded modestly: "My lord, you are too generous."

   "Not at all, haha, I, Shenjiao City Erudite Tower, will add another capable officer, Erudite Duke!"

   "It's really exquisite. There is no need to increase the ring level of the wick, and it will directly bring about a multiple increase in brightness. Such an ingenious concept is convincing." An arcane master of the Erudite Tower, after personally experiencing the strong light hand lamp, was amazed.

  Mankind's pursuit of light has never stopped.

   But it is obviously not easy to turn the night into another day. Flashing neon lights, dim street lights, and not too bright car lights make the Seven Towers Federation not a so-called city that never sleeps, and the night always gives people a drowsy texture.

  The appearance of strong light hand lamps indicates that the real city that never sleeps is coming.

   "Congratulations in advance, Duke Polymath."

   "Thank you, thank you all."

  Duke is no longer humble. If the practicality brought by the portable light may only allow him to barely meet the standard of the title of polymath, then the great value of the strong light technology may even allow him to touch the title of polymath.

  So there is no need to be humble to be called a polymath, just accept it calmly.

   "Let's go, everyone, go to my office and help Duke review the patent application and submit it directly to the Learning Tower of the Holy City of Offa." Erwin greeted.

   Immediately, several arcane masters took Duke to Erwin's office on a spiritual ladder.

  The employees of the patent department directly took the various contract documents and reviewed the patents in Erwin's office.

  The crowded crowd in the hall dispersed.

  But the whispering in twos and threes never stopped for a moment.

   "A new polymath is about to be born. I am so happy. The welfare that has been sealed for more than ten years can finally be restarted!"

   "What benefits?"

   "Scholars celebrate rewards, and the Erudition Tower has regulations. Every time a polymath is born in Heijiaohe, all employees' salaries for that month will be tripled!"

   "Triple! Oh my god, thank you Duke polymath, you are the true light!"

   "It would be great if there were polymaths born every day, oh yes, if there are polymaths born, what benefits will there be?"

   "Learned sages, hey, there really are. I saw it in the welfare manual. Once a erudite sage is born, the salary of all employees will be doubled for that year! And in order to express the celebration of the erudite sage, the serving arcanist in the erudite tower will also give red envelopes to the employees!"

   "Oh my god, doubling the salary for one year?" The new employee was stunned, and immediately muttered to himself, "I really hope Lord Duke will be awarded the title of erudite sage immediately!"

  Employees actually don't pay attention to any new inventions of the master arcanists.

  But for their own welfare treatment, it is a heartfelt support, so everyone is sincerely grateful to Duke.

   Soon the news spread from the Bo Xue Tower.

  Although there was no bell ringing ceremony, which could be heard throughout Shenjiao City, the speed of transmission was still fast, and it spread to thousands of households.

   It's just that the news spread to the meeting room of the Clarinda Mage Tower, but the impact was negative.

   "Is there really a hand lamp so bright that you can't open your eyes?" Clarinda's expression was as ugly as if her parents had died.

  The shareholders of Runwanjia, the Arcane masters, even grabbed the secretary and asked frantically.

  In the end, everyone has confirmed that the strong light technology is undeniable, and it is a new invention that has amazed Erwin and other knowledgeable Taoist mages.

   "We lost, we lost completely, Your Excellency Clarinda, please stop the loss quickly."

   "Yes, once the strong light technology comes out, our aura lamps will no longer have the slightest advantage, and the market will soon be monopolized by giants of light."

   "Even if the infringement production is too late, Duke's application at this time must have been planned long ago. In a few days, strong light hand lamps will appear in every market." An arcanist was full of admiration, "Besides, Duke will be named a polymath, and he can no longer be treated as an ordinary 1st ring arcanist."

   "A young polymath was cited by Suktara as his successor. He even heard that he was doing well in his studies at the Penrose Mage Tower, and he can already make arcane cards. Such a genius, after decades, may be the leader of the spiritual arcane arts in Shenjiao City."

   "The name of a genius arcane master is indeed well-deserved!"

  Shareholders not only unanimously demanded surrender, but even publicly praised Duke. After all, there was only a little friction in business, and there was no real hostility.

   When we meet in the future, we can still be kind.

   "Duke is afraid that he will become the next Arcanist like Chief Director Erwin."

   "In my opinion, he is better than Lord Erwin when he was young. In the future, he may be able to compete with Lord Keyston at his height."

   "Exceeding is not necessarily!"

   "Exceeding is too difficult to say. In short, I am sure that he will be promoted to the Great Arcane Master. The rich spiritual favor is enviable!"

   "Enough!" Azigul yelled, "I'm going to curry favor with Duke, hurry to the Boxue Tower, hurry up before it's too late."

   "Your Excellency Azigul, what you said."

   "We were just surprised. There is a successor to the Arcane Master in Shenjiao City. Everyone is very happy, isn't it?"

   "Yes, yes." Faced with the wrath of the 3rd Ring Arcane Mage, the shareholders were not in awe.

  Aziguli continued to scold, and Kleinda, who was in the first seat, raised his hand feebly: "Forget it, Aziguli, what everyone said makes sense. Up to now, Runwanjia has been unable to stop the giant of light from occupying the lighting market."

  He said dejectedly: "Let's leave the rest to the professional team. I'm tired too, so I won't keep everyone for dinner today."

   "Then let's take our leave first."

   "Your Excellency, Kleinda, you don't have to worry about it. Runwanjia earns a little less, and you can make up for it in other markets."

"Yeah yeah."

  The shareholders of Arcane Mage took their leave one after another.

   Only Kleinda and Azigul were left in the conference room.

   Seeing that Azigul hadn't left, Kleinda couldn't help but shook his head and laughed: "It's really unlucky to miss a country bumpkin, but it's nothing, just money and reputation. I can recast the spiritual core, and I can reverse my reputation."

   "Really think so?"

"certainly."

   "That's good, the fact is true, even if Runwanjia goes bankrupt, it can't hurt your and my foundation."

   "It's just really annoying, I haven't played a redneck before."

   "There is still a chance in the future." Azigul stood up, "I am also going to go, and go back to the Boxue Tower to see how amazing this country bumpkin's invention is. Even Erwin personally stood up for him."

   "Remember to ask someone to send me a sample, and I will also study it...Another country bumpkin can invent a patent, and immediately get the title of polymath. I have been a 3-ring arcanist for many years, and I don't believe I can't get this hat!"

  Kleinda smiled and sent Aziguli out of the Mage Tower.

   When he returned to the office alone, the secretary carefully closed the door for him, and then he heard a crackling sound in the office.

   I don’t know how many tables, chairs, benches, teacups and vases were smashed.

  …

   It only took half a day, and the learned Taoist Master Irwin led all the more than 100 patents that Duke applied for.

  These patented technologies are roughly two types.

  One is the stacking technology of light-emitting structures, and the other is the idea of ​​stacking lamp heads.

  It’s just that there are various types of lamps, each of which can intersect with high-light technology, and apply for a new type of high-light lamp.

  Combined with other split patents, seven, seven, eighty-eight, combined, formed a patent pool of more than 100 patents.

   "I have submitted all the patents for you, Duke, the Giant of Light can act now." Erwin stretched out his arms, "Teach Runwanjia a lesson, I don't like Clarinda a long time ago, and he has ruined the seedlings of many polymaths."

   "Thank you for your help, sir, I will do my best."

   "Work hard, if you want to work in the Tower of Knowledge, there is always a place for you here."

  After Duke returned, he gave an order to build a high-light lamp factory in Sheshou Town, and immediately ran at full capacity, working in three shifts to produce various lamps 24 hours a day. Black beetle trucks and black centipede trucks lined up to transport the lamps away from the factory.

  In addition to the high-light lamps that were previously produced and stored, within a short period of time, the high-light lamps were launched in Heijiaohe, facing the public.

   This time.

  The Giant of Light no longer advertised wildly and sold at a loss, but sold according to the market price it should have been.

  But as soon as it went on the market, the strong light fixtures were sold out.

"too bright!"

   "Boss, after replacing the strong lighting at home, isn't it as bright as in the store?" Ordinary people who came to buy spiritual artifacts were shocked when they saw the strong lighting in the store.

   "I'm just a fifth-level strong light, five wicks, and a ninth-level strong light with nine light wicks. I dare not look up when it's turned on. It's too bright!"

   "Then I have to buy the ninth gear, the brighter the better!"

   "I have to remind you that the brighter the better, every additional light wick will double the spiritual energy consumed, and the ninth gear will have to increase nine times. You can light it for an hour compared to the previous nine hours. Don't change your face when you go to recharge."

   "Hiss, so much energy consumption?"

   "Nonsense, every psychic power is equal to the brightness, you think the Giant of Light's lamps rely on love to generate electricity, all of which are burned psychic power!" The boss snorted, "But don't tell me, look at the five-level strong light I changed, it's really good, the Giant of Light is really powerful!"

   "Didn't Runwanjia produce strong lighting?" The customer asked curiously, "Before, Runwanjia's spiritual lights were cheaper than portable lights."

   "No, any aura light is infringing. Portable lights and other things are all invented by the Giant of Light. This strong light is also invented by the Giant of Light... Otherwise, wait, wait a while, maybe Runwanjia will infringe the production."

   "Forget it, I can't wait for such a good lamp for a quarter of an hour."

  If you talk about portable lights, many families feel that they may not be useful, so they are not in a hurry to buy them. Then the strong light fixtures are different.

  Every household has to light lamps.

  I didn’t think the lights were too dim before. At most, I just need to install a few more lights. But now I see strong lights installed in other people’s homes. When I compare the brightness, I immediately feel that my ordinary lamps are too dim.

  So basically every household began to replace brighter strong light fixtures.

  Suktala, as the internal director of the Union Tower, even submitted a city-wide street lamp replacement plan, and after passing it, directly purchased strong street lamps from the Giant of Light.

  Replacement in just a few days.

  Shenjiao City has initially become a city that never sleeps. The roads are so bright that thieves dare not act, and the crime rate plummets in a short period of time.

   "Shenjiao City, the capital of light!"

  The headline on the front page of "Daily Shenjiao City" reported that the strong light lamps produced by the Giant of Light make the city roads as bright as day and every household has a bright night.

  As the black centipede car and the black beetle car went along the route and entered the foreign city, several major cities under the jurisdiction of the Fengxi domain also became the capital of light.

  The news of the city that never sleeps even spread to the entire Seven Towers Federation.

at the same time.

  Aofa Holy City Boxueta received the patent review documents submitted from Shenjiao City Boxueta to Runwu City Boxueta and then from Runwu City Boxueta.

  When the submission was submitted by the Boxue Tower in Shenjiao City, Erwin personally recommended urgent processing.

  When it was time to submit the submission to the Boxue Tower in Runwu City, the chief director of the Boxue Tower, a 6-ring Arcane Mage, also personally recommended it.

  Therefore.

   This batch of patent review documents quickly entered the review process of the Erudition Tower in the Holy City of Offa.

   "Hmm, strong light technology?" The 1st Ring Arcane Master, who was in charge of the preliminary review, read the recommendation letter of the 6th Ring Arcane Master, "Is it such an exaggeration for the epoch-making natural science invention? How long has it been since the Runwu City Bo Xue Tower has a new invention before it blows up this strong light technology?"

  He is a little disapproving of the strong light technology.

  However, according to the process, the patent review document was roughly read, and then voted to the Supreme Review Committee of Bo Xue Tower.

  Any patent review recommended by the chief director of the local Bo Xue Tower will generally be directly submitted to the Supreme Review Committee for review to assess whether the patent needs to be promoted, and then the patent will be stored in the Bo Xue Tower's patent library for everyone to browse.

  No letter of recommendation.

  After the initial review, he will vote for the Supreme Committee of the Boxue Tower if he thinks it is valuable.

   As for the Supreme Audit Committee, it is composed of a group of erudite sages.

  The erudite sage on duty today is a white-haired old man, and soon an assistant put the patent review documents of the strong light technology on his desk.

  The old man picked it up and looked at it carefully.

   After a while, his eyes shone sharply, and he directly ordered his assistant: "Bring me a batch of lighting lamps, and bring me a batch of tools. I want to make a strong lighting lamp myself, and verify whether the technical ideas in it are correct."

   "Okay, Mr. Sage, I will prepare it for you."

  The assistant left quickly, and within a few minutes, he rushed back with a large amount of materials, and then cooperated with the erudite sage to transform the lighting.

  Although the white-haired old man is old, his hand speed and skills are not bad at all.

   It took almost a quarter of an hour before an improved strong lighting lamp was manufactured, and the old man connected this rough strong lighting lamp with spiritual power.

next moment.

   Dazzling light, lit up in the office.

"Draw the curtains!"

"yes."

   and other assistants drew the curtains around the office, and the light from the strong lighting became brighter, illuminating the spacious office.

   "Good, good, what a great invention!" The erudite sage was full of praise, "A small lighting lamp, the technology is not worth mentioning, but it changes the brightness of the light. This will undoubtedly bring new changes to the whole world, and it is worthy of strong promotion!"

  The assistant nodded in agreement.

  The erudite sage waved his hand and said, "Go, issue a notice. I want to convene a meeting of the Supreme Committee. It will be held today, so that the old guys can come and feel the light."

   "Yes, Lord Sage."

  …

   "Happy Birthday, kid."

  On May 16, in Tower 2 of Suktara Master Tower, Duke celebrated his 18th adult birthday.

  Of course, the Seven Towers Federation stipulates that males come of age at the age of 16, but Duke actually came of age long ago.

  However, in his own mind, eighteen years old is the real adult, and under the age of eighteen, immature is not considered an adult.

  Suktara personally celebrated Duke's birthday.

   Not many people attended the birthday party, basically just a few young arcane mages, Joanna Bobcat, Sanfis, Kylia Raging Wave, Orianna, Blanc, Bazar, and others, as well as three students who are still staying in the Suktara Mage Tower.

   "Thank you, teacher, and thank you everyone for coming to celebrate my birthday." Duke wore a birthday hat and blew out the candles on the birthday cake.

  Joanna Lynx shouted: "Make a wish quickly, make a wish quickly, the moment the candle goes out, the spirituality is the strongest, and the birthday person knows what the birthday person needs best."

  Duke clasped his hands together under his chin.

   Make a vow to spirituality.

   After a while, he raised his head and looked at everyone: "I have already made a wish, everyone, let's eat cake."

   Quickly cut the cake into equal parts, Duke sent a piece to each of the arcanists, and then ate his own piece.

  The cake is just like that. I am used to delicacies from mountains and seas, so I don’t think there is anything special about it.

  But his friends celebrated his birthday, which made him feel very happy. He also had a group of friends on earth in his previous life, and he often ate, drank and had fun together.

Life is proud to be thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

   After everyone finished eating the cake, the Mage Tower unexpectedly welcomed Ding Jige, an Arcane Mage from the Bo Xue Tower, the director of the Honor Department.

   "I just found out that today is Duke's polymath's birthday. Although I came here empty-handed, I think I can take the good news as a gift." Ding Jige is not young, and he knows Suktala and others, so he speaks more casually.

  Duke smiled and handed Ding Jige an unfinished cake: "Welcome, Your Excellency Ding Jige, what good news is it?"

   "My good news is nothing new, but it will definitely satisfy you, Your Excellency Duke." Ding Jige took a bite of the cake and put it off, before saying, "The Erudite Tower of the Holy City of Alpha has officially conferred the title of Erudite to Your Excellency Duke. Please, Your Excellency Duke, go to the Erudite Tower of Shenjiao City as soon as possible to hold the awarding ceremony for you."

   "The title awarded by the polymath?" Sanfis yelled, "The title will be awarded so soon, the spirituality is on top, Duke will be called Duke polymath in the future!"

  Joanna clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "I knew that Duke was a natural scholar, and he was born with a scholarly temperament."

   "Yes, a born scholar." Bazar and others praised him.

  Kilia Nutao looked at Duke with sparkling eyes: "It's really amazing, an eighteen-year-old polymath, there is no one before."

  If it was before, she would still be able to accept the title of Heavenly Girl in terms of family background and other aspects.

   Now compare Duke.

  She only felt that there was too much difference between people and that she was a hypocritical daughter of heaven, while Duke was the real favored son of heaven.

  Duke was equally excited.

  The title of scholar, this is the most ardent honor of arcanists, and it is more pleasing than being promoted to a higher level, because it represents the advancement in the field of spiritual arcana, and it represents a big step forward in exploring spiritual arcane for human beings.

  No matter how high the level of the Arcane Master is, if he does not have the title of scholar, he will always feel inferior.

  For example, Clarinda is already a third-ring arcane mage, but she is struggling to get a scholar title.

   "Your Excellency Ding Jige, is this news authentic?" Duke couldn't help asking, although he was mentally prepared, he still felt it was too sudden.

  Ding Jige laughed and said: "Fidelity, fidelity!"

   "When are you going to the Tower of Learning?"

   "You can go now."

  Duke heard the words, turned to Suktara and said: "Teacher, I am going to take the title of polymath first, and I will invite everyone to celebrate when I come back."

  Suktara smiled gratifiedly: "Why don't you go there together and share Duke's moment of glory?"

  Joanna immediately shouted: "Yes, let's go and see it together. Maybe we will hold a conferring ceremony in the future to gain a little experience."

   "Although it feels out of reach, but... no problem." Sanfis responded accordingly.

  So all the arcane masters decided to follow Duke together and went to the Erudite Tower to participate in his Erudite Awarding Ceremony.

   One after another, the shuttles are flying towards the Tower of Knowledge.

  The sun was shining on Shenjiao City. It was a sunny day. The shuttles stopped at the entrance of the Boxue Tower one after another, and the arcanists surrounded Duke and entered the tower.

   "Your Excellency Duke, you are here."

   There was already an arcanist waiting in the entrance hall. After seeing Duke, he personally greeted Duke and others, and took the spiritual ladder to the highest level of the Boxue Tower.

  Erwin and all the learned Taoist mages are waiting here.

  Seeing Duke and his party approaching, Erwin happily clapped his hands: "Haha, our youngest polymath Duke is here, everyone applauds and welcomes."

  Wow la la la...

  Although the applause was not neat and loud, it was so pleasant to Duke's ears, especially when he glanced across the crowd and saw Aziguli, the director of the legal department, among them, and applauded along with him expressionlessly.

  Duke's mood is even better: "Thank you, thank you, Chief Director, thank you for welcoming me, Duke, a junior of Natural History, sincerely and sincerely!"

  ——

   It’s the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass!

  (end of this chapter)
