Chapter 283 I stand on the shoulders of giants

  Suktara did not attend the noon banquet. She did fall into a state of epiphany, but it was not the kind of instant enlightenment.

   It was a mysterious and mysterious state, which kept her awake and at the same time felt muddled.

  As if a person is cut in half, experiencing two different senses.

   After Duke asked softly, he took his leave and left, and asked the housekeeper of the tower to guard the door, so that no one would come to disturb Suktara.

  This kind of epiphany state can be encountered but not sought.

   "I hope that the teacher can use this epiphany to pry open a gap in the fog of spiritual mystery and find an opportunity to completely break through!"

  For Suktara, he is full of gratitude in his heart, and it can be said that he can replace the existence of his relatives.

  He didn't plan for the inheritance that Suktara handed over to him, but only hoped that Suktara could be promoted to the 4th Ring Earth Arcane Mage and prolong his life for another 20 or 30 years.

  The atmosphere of the luncheon was intense.

  Erwin was particularly excited and kept persuading him to drink. If he hadn't kept his old face, he might have knelt down and kowtowed to Duke on the spot, willing to be his lackey.

  The higher Duke's achievements, the more he wants to get a sage title.

  Everyone has obsessions, and Erwin's obsession is like this. Duke has already known it, so he made a promise when drinking, and he will definitely bring Erwin with him when he does major experiments in the future.

"Look, look!" Boyton Wind Snake picked up a newspaper, which was just delivered by his entourage, and the ink smell was still fresh, "The sample newspaper of "Seven Towers Federation" has been sent to all over the world The newspaper office is resident, and the headlines are on the front page!"

  The Ring of Consonance was published in the morning, and at noon, the "Seven Towers Daily" had already determined tomorrow's content, which was extremely efficient.

  Kiston Nutao took the newspaper without hesitation, and read it aloud: "The ring of branding will be followed by the ring of consonance, and the sage Duke will climb a new peak of spirituality!"

   "The ring of consonance, uh, not the ring of consonance and projection!" Bernoulli raised his eyebrows, and looked at Duke in surprise.

  "Seven Towers Daily" is the newspaper with the largest circulation, and it also represents the official authority. It has always been cautious in the use of wording.

  Consonance · Projection Ring, and Consonance Ring are two completely different titles.

  The former is only a supplement to the ring of projection, which is a kind of technical application, just like the arcane projection ring has always been called the arcane projection, and cannot reach the height of the "ring".

  But the latter, blatantly summed up as "ring", this is the recognition of the weight of Lingxi·The Ring of Projection, and believes that it can be compared with the Ring of Projection, not just a supplement.

   Behind the "Seven Towers Daily", there are many editors of great arcane masters, obviously they will not make such common-sense mistakes.

  Williams said with great emotion: "Obviously, the higher-ups at the Holy City of Alchemy believe that the Ring of Consonance and the Ring of Projection have no distinction in value!"

Stephen Maverick nodded, also filled with emotion: "With the two achievements named after the ring, the sage Duke is destined to be selected into the Hall of Valor in the future! Tsk tsk, how strong is my spirituality in Heijiaohe, to be able to walk out of a Sage!"

  Duke quickly waved his hand: "It's too good, too good!"

Boyton Wind Snake said seriously at this time: "Sage Duke, this is really not an exaggeration. In my opinion, the "Seven Towers Daily" is called the Ring of Consonance. Above 'Consonance'!"

   "Oh, what's the explanation?" Keyston stopped reading the newspaper and asked.

  Although he is an elemental scholar, only he knows how high the water content of the title is—after all, he is following the route of an arcanist, and he is definitely not as good as an arcane scholar in the exploration of spiritual arcana.

  Duke also looked at Boyton, wanting to hear other people's opinions.

  Although he invented Consonance·Projection Ring, limited by cognition, he also focused too much on "Projection" itself, rather than the contract ring represented by "Consonance".

Boyton cleared his throat, and said seriously: "I think the ring of consonance has a wider meaning, especially the difficulty of adding the ring of contract to solve the problem, I am afraid that it will have a huge impact on the 3-ring arcanist and the fog of spiritual arcane magic." significance!"

   "Hiss!" Erwin took a breath, "If that's the case, the value of the Ring of Consonance is simply inestimable!"

  Even Duke couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "The ring of consonance uses the ring of contract to locate between the real spiritual sea and reality. If we study carefully based on this point, we may not be able to find a shortcut to clear the fog of spiritual mystery!"

  He thought about this before, but because he didn't really feel the fog of the spiritual mysteries, he didn't know much about it, so he immediately put it behind him.

   Now after Boyton's reminder, I have carefully examined this issue.

   And told Xiaoyi in his heart: "Xiaoyi, according to the existing database content, estimate the success probability of using the ring of consonance to clear the fog of spiritual arcana!"

   "Okay master, Xiaoyi is calculating for you, it may take a while, master, please continue to drink and have fun."

  The atmosphere of the luncheon reached a new high with the possibility of the ring of consonance.

Erwin was already dizzy from drinking, but Kiston Rage didn't understand the Ring of Consonance thoroughly enough. After a few words of amazement, he continued to read the sample newspaper of "Seven Towers Daily", and soon haha laugh it out.

   "My lord, why are you laughing?" Williams asked.

Keyston pointed to a line of words on the front page of the newspaper: "Look here, the sage Duke thanked the old man, as well as Erwin and Boyton... Great, at this old man's age, he can still play "Seven Towers" The headlines on the front page of the Daily News!"

  Although it was only slightly mentioned, it was still considered the headline on the front page of "Seven Towers Daily".

   is an honor.

Bernoulli intends to ease the previous conflicts with everyone, and raised his glass to congratulate: "The Ring of Consonance will surely become a monument of spiritual mystery, and you, my lord, as well as Your Excellencies Erwin and Boyton, will also leave a mark on the monument. name!"

   "Haha, haha." Keyston laughed heartily, "This old man is just lying down, but he never thought he could be named as a monument!"

  Duke said with a smile: "The three of you have made great contributions to my study of the Ring of Consonance, and deserve a monumental name."

Everyone drank a glass of wine together, and Erwin laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "It depends on who is cooperating with the research. Not every time you lie on the experimental table, you can leave a monument. In Heijiaohe , only the Duke Sage Mage Tower can do it!"

  Stephen Maverick laughed and said, "Come on, let's congratulate Sage Duke together!"

  The luncheon was full of drinks for more than an hour. Although everyone hadn't had a good chat yet, they knew that it was getting late and it was time to leave.

"There will be plenty of time in the future, and now I will leave it to Duke, the tower of Duke's sage mage, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of people waiting to visit him." Keyston waved his hand, and took the shuttle directly to the flight station, without going to Ling Asan.

   Erwin and the others also dispersed.

Bernoulli deliberately took a step late, and waited for everyone else to leave before he said to Duke with a flattering face: "Master Duke, I was so confused in the past. I fought with you for the twin springs and attracted De Lai. Li Kaishu, I beg your forgiveness!"

   As he spoke, he was about to bow and apologize to Duke.

  Duke has always respected the old and loved the young. Seeing that Bernoulli's hair and beard were all gray, he reached out to support him: "What do you mean by this, Mr. Bernoulli? It's all in the past, and I don't care about it anymore."

"Your lord has a lot." Bernoulli put his posture very low, "Fortunately, Delari Kaishu didn't compete with you, and the Duke Sage Mage Tower was successfully built on Lingya Mountain... If you are a sage, you don't mind , Gouzi wants to work in your mage tower, and teach at Sanhai University in Lingya Mountain by the way."

   Bernoulli himself created the Black Jade family.

  The current move is undoubtedly to make the Heiyu family completely close to Duke.

  Duke didn’t mind accepting it. Strictly speaking, he had no conflict with Bernoulli or the Black Jade family.

   It's just that they have different positions from each other.

  Bernoulli belongs to outsider forces, while Duke belongs to local forces.

  But Cuihai City has been established, and the Heiyu family has also become a part of Cuihai City, so it is a bit behind the times to think about issues from a standpoint.

"If Lord Bolis Heiyu is willing, I will naturally not refuse." Duke said, and then changed the subject, "However, if I work in the Mage Tower or teach at Sanhai University, I hope that each other can be honest. Some, don’t hold back on your knowledge.”

   "Don't worry about this. I will let Quanzi teach the way of controlling Gu of the Black Jade family without reservation. Even the old man himself can go to Sanhai University to take a class and teach the course of controlling Gu."

  Hearing this, Duke smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll ask my subordinates to hire Boris Heiyu later."

  Bernoulli got what he wanted, invited repeatedly, and decided to have a banquet for Duke in the Mage Tower of the Black Jade Family five days later, and then left.

  Duke turned around and got on his shuttle.

  Little assistant Mu Lali looked at Duke with admiration, and said with a smile: "Sir, you are the sky of Heijiaohe land now!"

   "What is it?" Duke patted the little assistant's thigh. The girl had grown up, and the touch became more delicate and soft.

"You are the God of Heijiaohe. Even a 4th-ring arcane mage like Mr. Bernoulli depends on your face." Mu Lali said proudly, looking into Duke's eyes, wishing that Can drip water on the spot.

  It's all tenderness and sweetness.

  Mu Lashan, who was sitting on the other side, was not as eloquent as Mu Lali, but she also nodded hurriedly, showing no sign of admiration.

  Duke stretched out his hands left and right, and embraced the two little assistants, feeling that the hard work in life is mostly for this moment.

  The outsiders are flattering and flattering, while the insiders serve tenderly.

  The second daughter's talent in spiritual arcane magic is not very high, and she probably has no hope of being promoted to an arcane master in this life.

   But Duke did not dislike it.

  He is really a nostalgic person. He didn't send any of the people who followed him in the early years, and he still stayed by his side.

  For a traveler who is destined not to return home, the people he met in Snake Town are probably the attachment to home in his heart, or at least a ray of comfort. What is in the portal of the twisted ring is the original intention, and these people around me are not the original intention.

  The local reporter of "Seven Towers Daily" was already waiting in front of Duke's office.

  Wait for Duke to take a nap at noon.

  The reporter was finally summoned and was able to spare an hour for an exclusive interview. The reporter did not dare to delay at all, and directly took out a piece of paper, which recorded many questions from the headquarters of the Alfa Holy City, and asked Duke one by one.

  Most of the issues revolved around the Ring of Consonance, and only a small part involved Duke himself.

   After all, this is not the first time that Duke has been interviewed by the Seven Towers Daily. He has basically asked all the personal questions that should be asked.

   Moreover, it has been less than two years since the last interview, how many new things can happen in two years.

"I don't agree that I completed this achievement alone." Facing one of the questions, Duke responded seriously, "Don't say that Keyston Rage, Irwin, and Boyton Wind Snake cooperated with me to collect data. , it is my teacher Suktara, who also made great contributions.”

  He then said with emotion: "I have inherited what my teacher has learned and researched all my life, so I can accumulate a lot of money and invent the Ring of Consonance."

   paused.

  He uttered a famous saying on earth: "If I can see farther, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants."

  The reporter's eyes lit up instantly, and he wrote down this sentence completely in his notebook.

  He had a hunch in his heart that this somewhat boring interview might become a classic interview because of this sentence.

  …

  Shenjiao City, Clarinda Mage Tower.

  Aziguli, who has been promoted to the director of the Boxue Pagoda, came here again to chat with Kleinda to ease the other party's resentment.

  Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory has closed down, and now the Giant of Light has completely replaced the Runwanjia market.

  However, Clarinda is an old-fashioned 3-ring arcane mage after all, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse. It is not difficult to maintain a mage tower.

   It's just that the Mage Tower is a little deserted. After all, there is no decent subject to study.

   "Come out and do something, Kleinda." Aziguli frowned unconsciously after seeing Kleinda.

  Clarinda in front of her grew a big beard at some point, and her beard covered half of her face.

  A lot of drinks were randomly placed on the tea table and table.

  At this moment, Clarinda, smelling of alcohol all over her body, smiled bitterly when she heard the words: "What are you doing, everyone is probably watching my joke!"

"No one reads your jokes. Everyone is very busy now, and there are a lot of gaps in all walks of life. You will definitely be able to get a good position when you come out to do things." Azigul said patiently. Friendship, I can't bear to see the other party mess up.

"Want to fight for a good position, go to Cuihai City to fight for a position?" Clarinda sneered as she spoke, "Do you want me to serve Duke? The whole Cuihai City belongs to him. Serve him like a dog!"

   "If you don't go to Cuihai City, stay in Shenjiao City. Recently, many arcane masters have gone to Cuihai City. There are many vacancies in the five towers of Shenjiao City."

"I won't go!" Kleinda stretched out her hands, trembling, "I am a third-level arcane mage, but my strength may not even be comparable to that of a second-level arcane mage. Are you uncomfortable going out? "

   "I'm afraid that if you continue to think wildly like this, you will sink!"

   "Sinking Demon, haha, it's not bad."

   "Gibberish!"

   "Hahahaha..." Clarinda laughed, and she didn't know what she was laughing at. After a while, she regained her composure and asked, "What's the matter with you coming here today?"

   "What can happen, just look at you."

"There must be something wrong. I saw signs of restlessness in your eyes." After all, Kleinda is a third-ring arcane mage, so she still has some observation skills, not to mention the half-life friendship with Azigul, and the love for each other. We are all familiar.

   "Oh!" Azigul sighed with emotion.

   "Tell me, you can't tell me if there is any confusion, at least compared to me, this trash, any confusion is not a big deal." Clarinda laughed at herself.

Azigul frowned and said: "Don't be a waste of waste, compared to many low-level arcane mages, you are still at a height that is difficult to reach... I just received the news today that Duke made another announcement in the Holy City of Arcane New results."

  A trace of resentment and fear flashed in Kleinda's eyes, and she asked unnaturally, "What result?"

"Consonance·Projection Ring, I have already read the thesis, and the third-ring arcane master can also forge the copy ring, and then use the method of the projection ring." Aziguli said, and glanced at Kleinda quietly, "Theory Come on, you and I both have the opportunity to display our avatars."

   "This..." Clarinda was both surprised and confused.

  Although his spiritual core has been broken together, he is a third-ring arcane mage after all. If he can increase the means of avatar, it will naturally be a great joy.

   But the technology was invented by Duke, and it was hard for him to accept it for a while.

  But soon he saw Aziguli, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and suddenly felt a little bit in his heart: "Aziguli, haven't you finished your sentence yet?"

Shaking her head, Aziguli still decided to confess: "I read the paper carefully, and the spiritual core and the replication ring rely on the ring of contract to locate each other, and this technology requires a complete spiritual core, otherwise it cannot match the state of the replication ring. "

  Kleinda's face turned pale immediately, and then she clenched her fists: "A complete spiritual core...that is to say, I can't do it, right?"

   "It may not be impossible, it's just a paper, and there may be other ways to make up for it."

   "Hehe, hehe... Make it up!" Kleinda slumped down on the chair and laughed miserably, "I'm just a waste, why should I make up for it!"

   Azigul could only try her best to appease.

  I regretted it very much, maybe I shouldn't have told Clarinda this news. But even if they don't tell today, Clarinda will know from the newspaper tomorrow. It's better for her to tell her personally, at least she can comfort her face to face.

  After a long time, Kleinda waved her hand, and said in a dejected tone, "Aziguli, I'm a little tired, you can do what you want."

   "Don't think too much, there will always be a way." Azigul comforted, seeing that Kleinda's mood had stabilized, she got up and left.

to be honest.

  After the Lingxi·Projection Ring technology was announced, she couldn't wait to try it. After all, this is a method that can only be used by great arcane mages.

   Even wanted to ask Duke in person.

   It's just not fun.

   When she went to work in the Learning Tower in the afternoon, the chief director Irwin also came, and held a meeting, the focus was on the ring of consonance.

"The Ring of Consonance is an all-inclusive name. It should include the Ring of Consonance·Projection, and the technology of Consonance Projection. Our Erudition Tower must follow up in time, not only to create quasi-arcane artifacts for Consonance Projection, but also to study the Ring of Consonance in depth. The connection with the spiritual mystery fog."

  After Erwin finished speaking, Aziguli immediately asked: "Chief director, can the ring of consonance break the fog of spiritual mysteries?"

"It's very possible, at least the Holy City of Alchemy is more inclined to do it, and I have personally communicated with Duke Sage." Erwin had already sobered up, and said cheerfully at this moment, "Duke Sage also thinks Clear away the fog of spiritual mysteries, there is a shortcut!"

   "Really?" Azigul was startled.

  She is a third-ring arcane mage, and she has already touched the fog of spiritual arcana, but she never thought that she could get rid of it.

  Although it is named after the fog of spiritual arcana, it is actually a cognitive barrier. Whether it can be cleared away, most of the 3rd ring arcane masters know it well.

   It's not so much fog as despair.

   is an insurmountable chasm.

"It is very likely to be true. The sage Duke believes that there is probably more than half of the probability. The ring of contract can be associated with the spiritual mystery fog to provide a shortcut." Erwin said with a smile, "Aziguli, You are a third-ring arcane mage, and you have also touched the fog, you can do more research, what if you succeed!"

   "Yes!" Aziguli's heart skipped a beat.

  Even if Erwin didn’t say anything, she would study it in depth. As a 3rd-ring Arcane Mage, wouldn’t her biggest dream be to break through the shackles and become a 4th-ring Earth Arcane Mage?

   Wait until the meeting ends.

  She thought of something, suddenly got up and left the Learning Tower, went straight to the Clarinda Mage Tower, and saw Clarinda who was drunk.

  Clarinda was still dazed and clamoring for a drink.

  She went up to Clarinda, and slapped Clarinda several times vigorously, until the drunken Clarinda was knocked into a daze.

   "Are you sober?"

  Clarinda felt the burning pain in her cheeks, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she replied, "You can actually use psychic energy to help me sober up."

   "Too lazy to bother."

"Forehead."

"Listen, I know you are decadent, and I know why you are decadent." Azigul said in a deep voice, "It's not because of the disputes between families, but because your spirit core was broken once and you thought you were a waste. But This time, there is a hope in front of you."

   "What hope?" Kleinda's eyes were a little dodged, not daring to look at Aziguli, his thoughts were completely covered.

"Duke...Master Duke Sage." Aziguli changed her address, addressing from the bottom of her heart, "Master Duke Sage invented the Ring of Consonance. It is said that in-depth research on this technology can help Arcane Masters of the 3rd ring to get rid of their spirituality. The mists of Arcana, find a shortcut."

  Kleinda has not recovered yet: "What?"

   "It means, you may be saved!"

   "I... can be saved?"

   "The Ring of Consonance may be your savior! Not only you, but also the savior of all 3-ring arcanists blocked by the fog!"

Aziguli looked at Kleinda and said seriously: "So, cheer up and thank Lord Sage Duke. Then, follow me to study the Ring of Consonance and try to find a shortcut. Remember, this is your only chance Already!"

   "I... this..." Clarinda's face changed again and again, and it took a while to straighten everything out, "Du...Master Duke Sage, is the ring of consonance invented really useful?"

   "You'll know if it works until you try it." Azigul looked at Kleinda, who was already getting excited, and said with relief, "At least Lord Sage Duke, give me a chance, a hope, right?"

  Take a deep breath.

  Klarinda used her psychic powers to eliminate the feeling of alcohol all over her body. She clenched her fists and said excitedly, "Yes, this is an opportunity!"

  He looked at Aziguli and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, Aziguli!"

   Aziguli responded indifferently: "You don't need to thank me, thank you Duke Sage, this is a great figure who is destined to illuminate the world."

She showed a faint smile: "So what was the filth in the past, so what about being defeated by Lord Sage Duke, maybe after many years, it will become a good story, a good story. You will also leave your name in future generations because of it. "

  Klarinda heard the words, and the corners of her mouth twitched again, thinking that it wasn't you who was defeated, it was me, it was me, Kleinda, who was pressed and rubbed on the ground, okay?

   But soon.

  He considered the practical problem again: "Well, Aziguli, you specialize in the field of erudition, and I... well, I am not good at any field. Can the two of us study the ring of consonance thoroughly?"

   "Of course not."

Aziguli said in a natural tone: "But we are only deepening our understanding. The shortcut to clearing away the fog of spiritual mystery is naturally to be studied by Lord Duke Sage and the great figures of the holy city of mystery. We just need to be prepared. , wait quietly."

  Clarinda was stunned.

  Then nodded approvingly: "It makes sense."

   Just as the two of them were about to understand the ring of consonance first, and then wait for the big man to complete the shortcut, the Holy City of Alchemy had already received a sketch of the interview from the reporter of "Seven Towers Daily" in Cuihai City.

  Editors quickly started writing and proofreading.

   Prepare to publish the full text of this interview on other pages of the newspaper tomorrow.

However, an editor of a great arcane master saw a sentence specially highlighted in the sketch, and quickly sent this sentence to the news department of Offata—"Seven Towers Daily" is also headquartered in Offata, belonging to Offata a subordinate department.

   After reading it, the director of the news department gladly issued instructions.

   After a while.

  On the large screen on the outer wall of Offa Tower, a full-body photo of Duke with outstanding temperament was played, accompanied by a piece of artistic font.

  “If I can see further, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants.”

   Looking for tickets~
