Chapter 278 Flow ticket

   "Raimino, I've had enough of the dark and damp basement, and the stench from the experiment is almost blinding my eyes!"

"What can I do, my Abbots, His Majesty has ordered the banning of all arcane associations, prohibiting arcane mages from seeking the truth, and even denouncing us as wizards." In the dark basement, a dim light shone on a young man His face was full of helplessness.

   "It's only for a while. Your Majesty is only being deceived by those noble knights to stop us from exploring the truth. We will definitely wait until the day when the seal is lifted." The dim light shone on the face of another young man, reflecting a slightly mediocre facial features.

  A young man, Abbots, is cleaning a laboratory table, which is filled with bottles and jars of experimental materials.

Remino cleaned up together, then shook his head and said, "Don't think too much about it, it's not easy to have a basement for us to do experiments... Tsk tsk, you've already condensed the rings, and I'm just a bunch of energy lines! "

"You can also condense the ring, I believe in your talent." Abbots raised his fist again after comforting him, and said excitedly, "We will never hide in the basement for the rest of our lives, secretly studying the operation principle of arcane magic, do you believe it! "

  Remino rolled his eyes: "I just want to know what to eat for dinner."

Without any response from his companion, Abbots lowered his fist awkwardly, as if saying to his companion, but also as if encouraging himself: "Sooner or later, I will build a tall tower overlooking the earth. In the high sky, Do experiments openly!"

   "Hey!" Remino continued to roll his eyes, "Although it's dark now, it's still not dark outside, so don't dream so early!"

"You don't believe me, Remino!" Abbots yelled loudly, "It doesn't matter, one day you will see all this, arcane masters don't need to form secret societies anymore, arcane masters can live in the tower, free Study the arcana and seek the truth!"

  The voice fell to the ground, and the screen has blurred into a white light.

  The previous image was just a phantom being played on the big screen. Several high-level mages sat in the audience and commented on it.

   "The shooting was good, and the two actors played well."

   "But it still feels like something is missing, what do you think?"

"I also have this feeling. It seems to be from the actors of the Abbots sages. Some... how should I put it, some are too passionate. When I read "Abbots Diary", I feel that the Abbots sages are not like this An impassioned character."

   "Yeah, I remembered it when you said that. The sage Abbots is a man of few words. He only speaks one or two final words at the most critical moment."

   "Well, that means there is a problem with the script and needs to be changed."

"Change it, change it." The leading arcanist nodded and said, ""Sage Abbots" is a blockbuster documentary released by our Offatar, it must be perfect. Promote better."

  The arcanists next to him all agreed with this point.

After confirming the revision of the script, the arcane masters chatted about other trivial matters, and one of the arcanist masters suddenly said: "The sages can only remember, but the prophets are being elected. Do you think anyone can be added to the position of prophets this year?" ?”

  The chief sage of Offata is commonly known as the prophet.

   "It's hard to say, but I think the sage of Inkoses should have a better chance?"

   "I don't think so. The Enkoses sages are the life sages. Now there are five prophets in the field of life in Offata. If we add the Enkoses sages, don't we need six life prophets?"

   "Yes." Someone echoed, "The field of life is certainly a large field, but the five prophets are already crowded enough, and it is unlikely that a sixth prophet of life will be added."

   "Then what about Farren Silverfish Sage?"

   "The qualifications are enough, but I don't like him. The reason is very simple. He has no heavyweight achievements in the field of alchemy."

Another arcanist smiled and said: "If you want to talk about heavyweight achievements, you still need the sage Duke. The phantom film you and I are discussing here was invented by the sage Duke. Last year, Lord Thursas and Lambert both said I want to recommend him."

   "Hiss, there is really such a possibility."

"No way, how old is Duke Sage, twenty-two? Oh, last year it was twenty-two, this year it's already twenty-three. But twenty-three is too young, how many people twenty-three haven't been promoted to Arcane Master, no As for adding him as a prophet?"

   "But the technology of the branded ring is really shocking. Over the past year or so, puppets, contracts, card making, formations and other fields have almost all undergone earth-shaking changes because of the invention of the branded ring!"

"Let me tell you the most intuitive feeling. In the past, if the spirit card at home was broken, it would be repaired. Now there is no need to repair it. The cost of rebranding a new card is lower than the cost of repairing a card... Benefit the whole society!"

   "Spiritual apprentices can earn enough cultivation resources by guarding a spiritual card imprinting instrument. Duke Sage's contribution to spiritual mysteries is huge and far-reaching."

"It's more than that. Recently, I heard that the Supreme Tower of Faling is discussing to formalize card fighters, puppet fighters and other professions into the category of monks of the three seas... In the past, card fighters cost money and couldn't play without any capital. Now spiritual apprentices themselves You can arm yourself."

   Card warriors are spiritual apprentices who use spirit cards as a means of combat. In the past, they were not recognized as a regular profession by the Faling Pagoda because they used foreign objects to fight.

"Strong light technology and film and television technology benefit the entire lower class of society, and the ring of branding benefits all Linghai monks." The leading arcanist shook his head with emotion, "Now think about it, let alone adding a prophet, just wait a few years for us to shoot him A documentary is not out of the question."

   "Eh, this is an exaggeration, Hall of Valor..."

   "What's wrong with the Hall of Valor? The branded ring has been confirmed and approved. It is named after the ring. It is not far from the Hall of Valor."

   As we all know, "ring" has a very high status in the mind of arcanists.

   Therefore, such great technologies are basically named after rings, such as the ring of distortion, the ring of projection, the ring of contract, and so on.

  The Ring of Branding can be successfully named, so everyone recognizes the greatness of this technology.

  So after hearing what Arcane Master said, the people next to him hissed in unison, absorbing a lot of air-conditioning in the projection room.

  …

People in the holy city of Offa are paying close attention to the upcoming supplementary election of the chief sage of Offa Tower, but there is no movement in the media, and the people don't feel much about it. There is not even a person discussing it in the streets and lanes. .

  The major event of the addition of the Prophet belongs to the top personnel arrangement of the Seven Towers Federation, and it is no longer a level that ordinary people can discuss.

  Essentially speaking, the Seven Towers Federation is not a democratic country, and even the aristocratic system has not been completely abolished so far.

  Therefore, what the public can discuss is limited, and what newspapers and media can exaggerate is also limited.

  However, in the interior of the Alpha Tower, around the Alpha Projection Room, there has been almost no rest from morning to night. The twenty-seven incumbent chief sages often descend from the Alpha Projection Room to communicate face to face in the form of clones.

   After all, not all prophets lived in the Holy City of Arcana. Many prophets explored spiritual arcana in various parts of the Seven Towers Federation, and even went out all year round.

"The candidate recommended by the old man is very clear, Duke." Thursas received a clone of the prophet in Offata's office, "Your Excellency Joseph, it is true that a new prophet should be added to the puppet field, but the learned field Why not."

  Joseph looks like a middle-aged and elderly person. He is not only a prophet, but also an instructor of the 7-ring Morning Star Arcana.

Wen Yan retorted: "Duke is too young. I have met and chatted with many prophets, and they do not support Duke's addition as a prophet. A very important reason is that Duke is not a great arcane mage. He cannot use the ring of projection and cannot hold a meeting. .”

   "The honor can be given first, and it will not be too late to come to the meeting after he is promoted to the Great Arcane Master."

   "Isn't the Chapter of the Mist not enough, isn't the title of card-making sage enough?" Joseph said, "The worst thing is to promise him that after he is promoted to the Great Arcanist, he will be added as a prophet immediately."

   "He was inspired by the will of the stars."

   "That can't cover up the embarrassment that he can't participate in the overall situation now. It's unreasonable for him not to settle in the Holy City of Alfa, but also to occupy the position of prophet."

"Duke has brought earth-shaking innovations in the field of erudition in the past few years. Just for this, we should also add him as a prophet so that he can continue to shine in the field of erudition." Thursas insisted, "and The Ring of Branding has made too much contribution, and if he is not given the position of prophet, he will not be able to convince the public."

  Joseph also frowned and replied: "It's not that I won't give it, let alone deny the branding ring, but wait for a while, I believe Duke can understand this truth."

"I still have the previous opinion. Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have achieved it will be teachers." Thursas revealed a tone that cannot be changed, "The purpose of setting up a prophet is to promote the development of various fields of spiritual arcana. A new prophet, and Duke, also has the ability to advance the field of erudition."

   "Since Master Thursas insists, I won't say more, so I will leave."

   "Walk slowly and don't send."

  After Joseph left, someone visited again not long after. This time it was not a clone, but the real body of Madelung Rhodiola.

   "Madron is here." Thursas leaned back in the chair, without any polite etiquette, "What do you think?"

  Ma Delong Rhodiola, as the chief director of the Tower of Erudition, is also a prophet, leading natural science to sink into society, that is, the promotion of new technologies.

  He said indifferently: "I am not going to recommend Duke."

  Thersas frowned: "Why?"

   "The reason is the same as most prophets. Duke can't hold a meeting. The prophet not only has to meet in the Holy City of Alfa, but also often visits some ruins for meetings. Duke can't participate for the time being. It is meaningless to add a prophet."

   "If even the person who invented the branding ring is not qualified to be elected as a prophet, what qualifications do we have to sit in this position as a prophet?"

   "You can wait for a while." Madelong said indifferently.

"Natural history has developed rapidly in the past few hundred years, and the third prophet is logical. If we wait for the next time, I'm afraid it will take decades to waste!" Celsas snorted, the chief sage of Offata, according to the regulations Added every ten years.

  But not every addition will definitely select a prophet, otherwise, with the long lifespan of the arcanist, there will be more than the current twenty-seven prophets.

  Ma Delong was silent for a moment, and said: "As far as I know so far, Duke won less than one-third of the votes, there is no possibility of forced push, and the possibility of passing votes is 100%."

   Prophets added, every ten years.

  Each prophet can nominate a candidate.

   Of course, before the supplementary voting, the prophets will communicate with each other and will not blindly recommend candidates.

   Candidates who receive more than half of the recommended votes of the prophets can be directly added as new prophets. If there are less than half of the recommended votes, but more than one-third of the recommended votes, as long as there is a strong push from Huiyue's Arcane Teacher, the forced push mode can be activated.

  In the forced push mode, all prophets can only vote against and support the candidate.

  If the number of votes is still more than half, it can be added as a new prophet. If the number of votes is still less than half, the addition will fail.

  Basically, every year the Prophet vote is added, and most of the time there is no result, and only votes are lost—it is really difficult to get the support of half of the Prophets.

"I will still recommend Duke." Thursas looked at Ma Delong and snorted coldly. Relying on seniority will not work here."

  Ma Delong frowned: "It's just a matter of fact, no one wants to rely on seniority."

   "I'm tired, go on your own." Thursas directly served tea to see off the guests.

  Ma Delong got up calmly and left the office.

When he left, Thursas immediately threw the teacup and cursed: "It's really a lump of elm. As the chief director of the Erudition Tower, I don't want to expand the field of Erudition. I don't know what I think about all day long. I think I want to degenerate into a sinking magic!"

  After the fire was extinguished, Celsas said with emotion: "This kind of meeting, it's better to cancel it. The older the Arcane Master, the more stubborn he is, and sparks are shining when we meet..."

  No one can convince anyone.

  He rubbed his forehead and looked at the white clouds outside the window.

  At this time, the figure of the shell wise man slowly gathered, and said gently: "Master Thursas, you can't just slander others as a fallen demon."

   Thursas immediately laughed and said: "I'm just cursing a few words to vent my anger. Don't record my remarks, wise man."

  The entire Offa Tower is basically maintained by shell wise men.

  In addition to private places, anyone who does anything here will be faithfully recorded by the shell wise and become part of the historical information of Offata.

  Register and make a book, put it on the bookshelf, so that future generations can notice it.

   "I will set this piece of information as the highest confidentiality level, so that no one else can easily access it, only the instructor of the arcane method can access it." Shell wise man said.

Thursas shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, just don't let the children see it, as for the master of the arcane method, it doesn't matter, the old man dares to scold in person, let alone scold a few behind his back... Besides, when we quarreled before, we used to spit on each other. I've done it before, so it doesn't matter if you scold me a few words."

   "Uncivilized behavior should still be restrained." Shell wise man said.

  Thirsas sighed: "This is why I don't like coming to Offata. You can't talk to the wise man at all, and you have to be restrained in everything you say and do."

The tone of the shell wise man is still so gentle: "The sage Xi Yizi once said that rules are the foundation of spiritual mysteries, even if it is a complicated ring, you need to follow the rules. If you take away the rules, the spiritual mysteries will collapse .”

   "Oh, I know, I know." Thursas hurriedly changed the subject, "I heard that Offata is tossing the sage's documentary recently?"

"Yes."

   "What did the filming look like, does the wise man know?"

   "I only saw some clips, and the film crew is still in the process of editing and preparing. From my taste, I can only say that it is not bad."

   "Haha, does Shellwise have any favorite phantom films?" Thursas asked with a smile.

"I like the series of documentaries "Man and Nature", "Seven Towers of Aerial Photography", and "The Land of the Black River on the Tip of the Tongue" produced by DreamWorks Film and Television Company." Ke Zhizhi quickly replied, "The maturity of the work is far from Beyond other fantasy films."

  The wise man then added: "The planners of these works all have the name of the sage Duke."

   "Isn't he the one who invented the phantom film? How can other people's poor imitation surpass him as the inventor."

   "Does Master Thursus have any favorite phantom movies?"

   "The younger generation of my husband's family managed a film and television company and made a few phantom films based on the stories of my youth when I was young. I think it's pretty good." Thursas stroked his beard, feeling complacent about his legend when he was young.

   "Is it "The Arcane Master of the Earth vs. the Nine-headed Phoenix Dragon", I have also watched it. The demeanor of Lord Thursas when he was young is amazing."

   "Hahahaha, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

  …

   "I don't have much hope." Duke looked at Erwin and shook his head slowly, "Leaving aside my qualifications, the mere fact that I can't cast the Ring of Projection limits the height I can stand at."

   "What if you settle in the Holy City of Offa?"

"It's useless, the arcanist with the third ring is a bit worse after all." Duke said, smiling, "If I solve the ring copying materials, there may be a glimmer of hope, let it go now, I have to focus on The development of Cuihai City."

   "Well, think about it carefully. Your Excellency, Duke, you are really too young. The big shots in the holy city may not want to see you sitting with them, Duke."

   After a pause, Erwin added: "It doesn't matter if you don't get elected this time, you will definitely have a place in the seat of the Prophet, it's just a matter of time."

   "Don't talk about this, let's continue our experiment."

"good."

  After using the ring of projection several times to condense the avatar, Erwin was also a little tired, so he left the laboratory first, leaving Duke still thinking hard.

   "Xiao Yi."

   "Master, I am here."

   "For the fog of spiritual mystery, do you have any good ways to avoid it?"

   "Xiaoyi is thinking about it, but the data collected by Xiaoyi is, after all, separated from the source of spiritual mysteries by a layer of intuitive experience, so it cannot be directly analyzed, and can only rely on data calculations to indirectly infer the fog of spiritual mysteries."

   "Recalculate the data, find the missing variables, and let's collect it again!" Duke did not give up and decided to continue smashing the data.

  He liked something Leo Weiss said.

  Life may have no solution, but spiritual mysteries must have a solution.

  The ring of projection must have a way to avoid the fog of spiritual arcane magic, so that the replica ring can become a real arcane weapon, so that arcanists of all levels can project clones.

  After letting Xiaoyi die, Duke has another thing to do, which is to activate the imprint of the stars, enter the dream of the stars and continue to light up the stars.

   As of now, it has been more than a year since I got the Duke Star.

  He has lit up about 5,000 stars, among which the tree king developed by humans has also lit up three trees.

  One is the 3-ring tree king of Xueshan Palace in the Grand Duchy of Ice - Xueshan King.

  One is a city located in the New Freedom Federation. Duke did not choose to descend, but just explored the situation in case of emergency.

  The New Freedom Federation is located between the Storm Empire and the Storm Empire, and has little contact with the Seven Towers Federation.

   There is another tree located in the Sea Soul Empire. In a city by the Great West Sea, the tree king is half blown by the sea breeze and half blown by sand and dust.

  Duke also did not come, but just wrote down the coordinates.

"What I want is the tree king in the territory of the Seven Towers Federation. I don't know when it will be lit up... And how big is this world? I have lit up more than 5,000 stars, only to encounter three trees with human The tree king developed is simply unimaginable."

  The planet in the wild world is indeed very large. From the current information, it can be inferred that the entire wild continent is located in the northeastern hemisphere of the planet.

   May straddle the poles and the tropics.

   But even if the entire planet is covered, the land area cannot bear so many tree kings. According to probability, it is time to light up the tree kings in the Federation of Seven Towers.

  This can't help but make Duke wonder whether Manghuang Continent is a planet after all.

"Keep lighting up. Anyway, I have time. I don't believe that after a few years of busy work, I still can't find the stars in the Federation of Seven Towers. Maybe I'm lucky, and I can directly put the stars corresponding to the 3rd Ring Tree King - Shady Banyan Forest. It's all lit up."

  After the spinning and pulling, he has appeared in the starry sky of the dream of stars.

  Duke’s star shone brightly under his feet, and there were countless lines of light surrounding him, connecting stars one after another to form a bright area.

  Outside of this area, it is still dark, only the stars are twinkling.

   "Goddess Nyx!" Duke shouted, and then guided by his thoughts, he teleported directly to a star at the edge of this bright area.

   Goddess Nyx did not respond. For more than a year, Duke would shout every time he came in, but Goddess Nyx never responded.

   Maybe it will take a hundred years before He will wake up again.

   After a run, dozens of stars were lit up, Duke shook his head in disappointment, and then the world spun, and the surrounding scene returned to reality.

   "Phew, I got nothing again." Duke has long been used to it.

  So I didn't feel much discouraged. I packed up and left the laboratory, returning to my office on the top floor.

"Calculate the time. At this time, the supplementary work of Offata's chief sage should have come to fruition." Duke drank the tea made by his assistant, thinking to himself, "As a nominated candidate, the result will be the first. Notify me soon."

  He doesn't know whether others will choose him, but Thursas has stated in many public occasions that he will recommend Duke.

  So, Thursas's vote is stable.

  Although he knew very well in his heart that it was useless to rely on the vote of Thursas alone. After all, Offata had twenty-seven prophets.

but.

"People will always hold on to the sliver of hope before it is shattered, like a life-saving straw for a drowning person...I am no exception." Duke blew on the tea leaves and smiled self-deprecatingly, Take another sip of tea.

  However, he believes that the Ring of Branding is worthy of being a prophet, or even a sage, it just depends on when it will be fulfilled.

  Whether it is a prophet or a sage, there are actually a large number of people waiting in line.

  Duke is a newcomer. Whether he can jump in the queue depends on the Ring of Branding. Whether it is worth the prophets setting a precedent for him.

  Waiting is the most tormenting, he is a little irritable.

   Simply put down the teacup, got up and went to the newly furnished conservatory in the office. The conservatory was stuffy, hot and humid, and a flower bed was built in it.

   There are some tropical plants in the flower bed, which he bought from other places one after another, and arranged the flower bed to protect the tropical rainforest climate.

Then.

   In the middle of the flower bed, he buried the heart of oak in it.

   Come back every day, use the breathing method to catalyze the heart of oak, hoping that the heart of oak can germinate, and then grow an oak sapling.

   This is an oak tree that is about to break through to the tree king of the third ring. When it is dying, the heart of the oak is condensed from the essence of the whole body. Just like the red branch of the queen ant who marched in the crypt back then, she condensed the blood of her whole body, laid an ant egg, and finally hatched into Xiaohong.

   "I hope it will be useful. If it really germinates, maybe a 3-ring king tree will grow on Lingya Mountain. At that time, I will sell it even if I sell it, and I will let it grow."

  Duke has a special feeling for the tree king.

  The reason is very simple, he can come down to the side of every tree king from the dreamland of stars, and the whole world will let him travel.

   After watering, fertilizing, and breathing for a while, Duke left the greenhouse.

  Little assistant Mu Lali came over immediately: "Sir, the document from the United Tower was sent directly from the United Tower of the Holy City of Alfa."

   "Really." Duke took over the document and already understood that this was the result of adding a prophet.

and.

  I must have failed to add the position of prophet, otherwise it would not be just a document, but a great arcane mage who descended from the holy city of arcane magic and came to congratulate him in person.

   Sure enough, after opening the document, there was a paragraph written on it.

  Duke’s eyes were focused on two of the words—flow votes. The addition of the Prophet this time ended with flow votes.

   Looking for tickets~
