Chapter 341 The Sword of Glory

 Madelong Rhodiola rosea came to deal with Duke on the affairs of the Supreme Committee. After Selsus left office, the learned sages will surround Duke, so many matters need to be arranged in advance.

 And the processing of these affairs all does not require time.

“Leading the Supreme Committee meeting, you need to allocate more time.” Madelon Rhodiola said.

Duke shook his head: "I have two copy rings here, the intermediate copy ring is twenty minutes, and the earth copy ring is one hour and fifteen minutes. These two meetings of Prophet and Stars will bind all my clone time, the highest The committee can only change it to a talk-only meeting."

 “A light-talk meeting?” Madron Rhodiola frowned, “The level of confidentiality is not high enough.”

"It doesn't matter. Most of the technologies reviewed by the Supreme Committee do not need to be kept secret. I can participate in the form of a light conference. At the same time, some daily documents signed by the Supreme Committee will be communicated by Gerio Baidu with me, and then by I authorize him to sign on my behalf."

 Theoretically, stars and prophets have countless tasks to do every day, and even need to sign various documents non-stop throughout the day.

 But in fact, most of the stars and prophets handed over unimportant tasks to their own team of assistants.

 The stars and prophets can grasp the general direction.

Madron Rhodiola still frowned, and finally said: "I still suggest that it is better for you to sit in the Holy City of Aufa, rather than stay in the small place of Cuihai City... The Holy City of Aufa is strictly sealed, and the threat of the Sinking Demon is not at all question."

“Chief Director Madron, I have to say that you are looking at it too simply.” Duke said.

"What's the meaning?"

"Perhaps the threat of the Sinking Demon to you is not great, because you are not attractive enough to the Sinking Demon at the level of spiritual arcana. And because of my achievements in spiritual arcana, I am not only very attractive to the Sinking Demon, but also my We are not strong enough to protect ourselves.”

 “You mean...” Madron Rhodiola thought thoughtfully.

"As long as you understand, the Holy City of Arcana is indeed the highest holy place of spiritual arcana. However, when I am promoted to the stars, I will come in person." Duke's character has a reckless side, but he should keep a low profile. Never show off when doing business.

If you cannot guarantee 100% resistance to the Sinking Devil, you will no longer set foot in the Sinking Devil's base camp. The Holy City of Arcana is the holy land of spiritual arcane magic, and it is also the best habitat for the Sinking Devil.

 The stars gather here to practice by relying on the rich spiritual river.

The Sinking Demon is also hiding here, relying on the rich spiritual river to maintain its own activity.

 “I understand.” Madelon Rhodiola no longer pressed.

  Duke’s sense of Madelon Rhodiola rosea was not good. Although the two were both prophets in the field of erudition, they did not have much overlap with each other.

However, judging from the matter, Madron Rhodiola is still quite responsible.

Therefore, Duke said: "I am the chairman of the committee, and you are the vice chairman. I don't have much time to allocate to the Erudite Tower, so you will chair the daily meetings. I believe that you and I can work together to maintain the stability of the Supreme Committee." Operation."

"good."

 After talking about official business, Madron Rhodiola left immediately.

 Duke's earth clone also reached the limit of its duration. He simply dispersed the clone and returned his consciousness to himself.

 In the next few days, Duke was busy.

 Convened several meetings at the Supreme Committee to clarify the handover of various work arrangements. It also made the erudite sages realize that the era of Thersus' Supreme Committee has passed, and now the era of Duke's Supreme Committee has ushered in, and their stance must be corrected.

Of course, Duke only established authority, not changed dynasties.

After all, Selsus is not dead, and has become the head of the Seven Towers Federation. The Supreme Committee cannot avoid Selsus' influence no matter what.

 The most important thing is that Selsus is also a prophet in the field of erudition, and has sufficient reasons to continue to intervene in the work of the Supreme Committee.

 Fortunately, Duke and Selsus had an irreconcilable relationship. Selsus, who had gained higher power, was still willing to delegate power to Duke. Apart from visiting the Supreme Committee for inspections more frequently, Selsus did not do anything more extraordinary.

"I'm just here to take a look, don't worry too much." Selsus said privately while chatting with Duke, "I am not without a trace of worry about recommending you to take over the Supreme Committee. You have too little work experience, but now I see Come on, you did a great job.”

 “Xiao Gui and Cao are just following.” Duke smiled.

 They are very clear in their hearts. Unless they attack the 9th Ring Yaori now, these old guys will definitely be reluctant to let go of power deep down in their hearts.

 Because the power of the Seven Towers Federation is not just pure power.

This power can profoundly affect the development of spiritual arcana, and then affect every star's understanding of spiritual arcana.

Unless they are extremely old stars, no one of them can give up improving their understanding of the spiritual arcana, trying out the chapter of the moon phases, or trying out the chapter of the crown of the sun - they have already climbed halfway up the mountain. Who wouldn’t want to climb to the top to watch the sunrise?

 That is Duke, who established himself as the first sage in the world.

 The stars had no choice but to bend down, accept his rise, and open their power to him. After all, their descendants hundreds of years later would all have to look at Duke's face.

If they offend Duke now, Duke may not be able to do anything to them, but it shouldn't be too easy to deal with their descendants in the future.

"You have your own ideas, and you can do it boldly. I have great trust in you." Selsus said beautifully in the scene, "I, as the Chancellor, will **** you until you ascend into the sky and become the stars. I will Then I can retreat with peace of mind.”

"You are joking. The entire Seven Towers Federation cannot do without your leadership."

“Haha, I can still live for a while, but I don’t mind making a small contribution to the Seven Towers Federation.”

 “Sir, Lord Speaker.”

“Chairman Duke, please speak.”

 One old and one young, joking with each other.

Then Duke said sternly: "You must keep an eye on these three stars, Sadiq Pioneer Eye, Perots Green Fox, and Weasley. I can feel that they have a deep affection for me." The deep malice may be that they are colluding with the Sinking Demon to take action against me."

"Don't worry, I'm in charge of the Conference of Stars, and these three people can't escape my eyes." Selsus promised, and then said, "However, are you sure this trace of 'malice' does not come from their opposition to your joining the Conference of Stars? ?”

"How can I be such a small-minded person?" Duke said calmly, "Besides, hooking up with the Fallen Demon is a serious matter that threatens my life and death, how can I treat it as a trivial matter!"

Although.

Shadick Pioneer Eye, Perots Green Fox, and Weasley are all in Duke's grudge book, but he really doesn't treat them with colored glasses.

Rather, he could really tell from some clues that these three people were malicious towards him.

 And he also used the Eye of Arcane Weapon to strengthen his perception.

The one with the most malicious intent was Shadik Pioneer Eye, the guardian of the Shivering Realm. Even the other person's eyes did not hide this malicious intent.

"I will keep a close eye on these three people, but you have to stay in Cuihai City and don't leave too far. To prevent someone from interfering with the arcane trajectory, let me use the Möbius Ring. If there is a deviation in the positioning, it will not be possible in time. support."

"Don't worry, I will usually stay in Cuihai City. Even if I have to leave, my whereabouts will not be exposed." Duke still has this confidence.

 Once he crosses over, he may no longer be in the Wilderness Continent.

The only possible flaw is that traveling to the Snow Shirt Palace in the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice may give others a chance to take action.

 But fortunately, Xueshan City, where Xueshan Palace is located, is just an ordinary city. There is only one large spiritual spring, and the strength of the fallen demons that can be hidden is limited. As long as he's not a star-level fallen demon, Duke doesn't have to be afraid at all, just hard steel.

When Thersus heard this, he said: "This is very good."

 …

  Time flies by like a white horse passing by.

 The entire Storm Calendar year 4426 was a lackluster year. During this year, Duke, who took over as chairman of the Supreme Committee, may have had too much work and was too busy to do anything, so he did not make any more great academic discoveries.

However, Duke Sage Mage Tower still maintains the title of a small holy place, and many academic achievements, large and small, are continuously released.

Sanhai University at the foot of Oak Tooth Mountain has also successively trained several arcane mages.

Facts have proven that the government-led opening ceremony of Sanhai and the provision of a comprehensive education system have greatly improved the success rate of Sanhai monks.

 The current education system of universities, middle schools, and primary schools has been extended from Cuihai City to the entire Seven Towers Federation. With the help of the Mage Tower, a spiritual arcana research system integrating industry, academia and research was formed, which was gradually accepted by Mage Towers across the Federation.

 It was May 19th, Year 4427 of the Storm Calendar.

Sally, the general manager of Lingchi Farm, drove her son Shaf, who had just returned from the knight monastery, to Yinping Garden Community in Cuihai City to visit Director Zina of the Mercenary Management Office.

"Oh, we are all old acquaintances, why should we bring gifts when we come over for dinner? Really." Zina opened the door to greet the arrival of Sally, Saff and her son. "Saff has grown so big in a blink of an eye. By the way, Sava Why didn't you come together?"

 Sally replied with a smile: "Sawa went to Shenjiao City and works at the Giant of Light Company. She is very busy."

Shaf said hello respectfully: "Hello, Aunt Zina."

"Come in, Saff, are you still working in the guard?" Zina knew Sally's family quite well.

They are all old people who followed Duke together. Although their strength is really limited, they cannot continue to follow Duke to climb the peak. But thanks to Duke's care, Zina and Sally are now doing well and have reached the ceiling of ordinary people.

"I have resigned from the Guard." Shaf said something that surprised Zina.

 “I’ve resigned, how can I resign from the Guard properly?”

Sally deliberately said angrily: "This child is so willful. Aren't many great knights now forming mercenary groups to expand the land? He insists on forming a mercenary group himself to participate in the expansion of territory."

"Oh, really, this is very ambitious." Xina said, "Since Lord Duke released the Ring of Phantom Beasts, many knights have broken through the bottleneck. Even I, a ten-thousand-year-old knight with 0 rings, took the opportunity to break through to 1 ring. Great knight. If I weren't old and wanted to try my hand at it, it would be best if I could be knighted."

“Your Aunt Zina led a large mercenary group back then.” Sally complimented.

Shaf nodded, and when he looked at Zina, there was some admiration in his eyes: "I know that Aunt Zina was the leader of the Broken Sword mercenary group and served Lord Duke. Now, although Broken Sword has been disbanded, The legend of the Broken Sword is always there!"

“Oh, a good man was brave in his past, but now I am a woman.” Zina said without mentioning it, but in fact she was smiling from ear to ear.

 Following and serving Duke was the most glorious deed in her life.

 This is also the reason why she can serve as the director of the Mercenary Management Office as a 1st-level Grand Knight. Everyone knows that she is Duke's vassal.

 Talk about the past, and the atmosphere becomes warm without realizing it.

Zina also promised that she would help Shaf establish a mercenary group with excellent combat effectiveness and facilitate her mission.

"However, Shaf, you are only a first-level knight now. It will take several years to break through to the second-level fantasy beast knight. Now even if I have aunt to help you, if you want to establish the merits of opening up new territories, I'm afraid it will be difficult." It’s not that easy.”

“Don’t worry, Auntie, I know that the main thing over the past few years is to train myself. After I am truly promoted to the 2nd level Phantom Beast Knight, I will start to make contributions!”

Zina then smiled and said to Sally: "Spiritual favor, you are a lucky person, you will definitely be an old noble lady in the future."

"Don't dare to have wild hopes. It doesn't matter whether you are a noble or not. I am relieved that the child Saff will be safe."    "Don't worry, Lord Duke will definitely take more care of Saff if he knows about it. Oh yes. Now, don’t forget to visit Mrs. Vivian more often... We can’t get in touch with Mrs. Kilia, but Mrs. Vivian still misses us very much."

“Mrs. Vivian is a teacher at Sanhai University, and Shaf is also her student.”

 “That’s stable.”

The two families chatted for a while, and Zina suddenly had a sudden impulse and asked: "Sally, Shaf is not young anymore. Isn't he still dating someone?"

 “Let’s talk about it.”

"Oh, we talked about it." Zina was a little disappointed, but still asked with a smile, "Which girl did you talk about? What are the conditions?"

"We talked about a girl from the Black Snake family branch. It was Mrs. Mulali who helped lead the way. However, the girl is still in college and is a Qi Refining Apprentice. She hopes to become a Qi Refining Master." Sally was happy. He said, very satisfied with his future daughter-in-law.

“That’s great. With the support of Mrs. Vivian and Mrs. Murali, Saff’s future is limitless!”

Although Duke did not marry Mulali, Mulashan, or Vivian, everyone knew that she was Duke's concubine, so they all addressed her as his wife. With these connections, Shaf will definitely be able to successfully become a knight without any surprises in the future.

It may be difficult to make a decision when it comes to providing help in times of need, but when it comes to adding icing on the cake, Zina will not hesitate at all.

 After leaving Zina’s house, Shaf immediately set about forming his own mercenary group.

Although he has been working in the guard these years, he has built up a lot of connections, including classmates from Sanhai University and funding from the Black Snake family. A team of seven 1st-level knights, two 1st-level transformation qi-refiners and one 1st-level totem qi-refiner was quickly gathered.

 “That boy Shaf, formed a mercenary group?” Duke also heard about this from Vivian.

"Yes, this boy Saff is still very ambitious." Vivian said softly while massaging Duke.

 Fighting spirit cannot keep people young forever.

Vivian, who is already in her thirties, has some inconspicuous crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. She is less girlish and naive, but she also has a mature charm.

"You give Shafu a set of sub-dragon armor for me." Duke thought for a while and said, sub-dragon weapons are very precious, and he doesn't even have a few of them, so he can only give some armor made of sub-dragon materials. The value isn't too bad either.

 The best parts of the Yalong's body can be used to forge weapons, often with special effects.

The rough parts of the dragon's body are mostly used to make armor, which has no side effect, but the dragon's material is superior in its strong defense.

"good."

 Sending a set of Yalong armor as a gift is the most benevolent thing.

Duke then put some distracting thoughts behind him and happily played the game with Vivian. Their fighting spirit kept colliding with each other to help Vivian break through to the third level of advanced fantasy beast knight as early as possible.

 Without the increase in fighting spirit, Vivian can only rely on hard work if she wants to be promoted.

 Help Vivian end her training.

 Duke took a breath, leaned on the bedside, and started his own practice: "Xiaoyi, how far has the research and development of the forbidden hand been progressed?"

“The current research and development progress is 32%, and there are still many key nodes that need to be broken through, and the completion time cannot be estimated at the moment.”

"Um."

 Looking inside the spiritual sea, the orbit of the spiritual core is already densely packed.

All slots, including the two nightmare invasions, the six five-ring slots and the four six-ring slots provided by the Sinking Demon clone, have been filled.

 Four slots in the first track - Arcane Shield, Healing, Candlelight, and Wind Movement.

 The second track has five slots—Elemental Shield, Stoneskin, Sword of Light, Warming Sun, and Tearing Wind.

 Six slots in the third ring track—Elemental Armor, Thunder Grip, Halo Great Sword, Continuous Light, Wind Stream, and Orc Eye.

There are seven slots in the fourth ring track - Armor of the Earth, Pillar of Light, Tornado Blade, plus Arcane Weapon Shield, Arcane Weapon Armor, Arcane Weapon Hand No. 1, Arcane Weapon Hand No. 2, and sublimation to the 4th ring. Grade Desert Eagle pistol.

 One arcane hand can no longer meet Duke's needs.

 So when there are free slots, Duke simply casts another Arcane Hand, thereby completely freeing his hands and letting the Arcane Hand complete most of the operations for him.

The fifth ring track is not opened, but there are six extra slots - Brilliant Gem, Shrouded Glory, Falling Storm, plus Arcane Hand No. 1, Arcane Hand No. 2, and Arcane Hand No. 3.

 The reason is the same as above.

A single arcane hand can only release arcane spells at a limited speed, so Duke simply cast two more arcane hands. In this way, only when three arcane hands release arcane spells at the same time can the effect of the arcane turret be truly achieved.

 The sixth orbit has not been opened, but there are four additional slots - Grasp of the Fallen Star, Field of Holy Light, Wind on the Scene, and Hand of the Forbidden Technique.

 Hand of Forbidden Magic has not yet been successfully developed.

“The foundation has been laid, and my current strength is firmly on par with the stars, but I don’t have the domain methods of the stars.”

 After more than a year of silence, Duke successfully constructed three sets of forbidden arts systems.

The 7th Ring Forbidden Technique - Immortal Grip, the 7th Ring Forbidden Technique - Sword of Glory, are both complete forms, and the power of the forbidden technique is maximized; the 7th Ring Forbidden Technique - Changfeng Wanli, although it lacks the arcane wonders of auxiliary linkage, But this is a forbidden technique of escape type, so there is no need to demand too much power.

 “Go out and practice…”

Thinking of this, Duke flew out of Oak Tooth Hill Castle without saying a word.

With a thought, the 7th Ring Forbidden Technique - Long Wind Ten Thousand Miles was activated. The wind blew quietly over Oak Tooth Mountain, but it was only able to blow on him.

 Hurrah!

There was a whistling sound in my ears, and the scenery in front of me changed rapidly. By the time I took a breath, the person had already appeared in the forest dozens of miles away.

"At least twenty or thirty kilometers per second!" Suspended in the air, Duke smiled with satisfaction, "It is eight to nine hundred times the speed of sound, and one ten thousandth of the speed of light! If you want to escape at such a speed, you must use Mobiu. The Ring of Sri Lanka, otherwise no one can catch up with me."

Duke doesn't know much about the Möbius Ring, a supernatural power that transcends space, so he doesn't dare to guarantee that he can go faster than the Möbius Ring.

 But under the stars, no one can be faster than Duke unless the opponent also uses Chang Feng Wan Li.

"But the average arcane mage can build an attack and a defensive forbidden art system, which is enough. It is impossible for anyone to build an escape forbidden art system... I am afraid that the only one who can instantly travel thousands of miles is I’m alone!”

Thinking of this, Duke smiled as if he had everything under control.

Then he waved his hand and instantly cast the 7-ring forbidden technique - Sword of Glory again. However, he saw a towering and huge sword of light appearing in front of him. It traveled an extremely long distance at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye and appeared several kilometers away. The hills outside.

 Cut it down with one sword.

 The mountaintop shattered quietly without making any explosion sound.

"This is the Sword of Glory!" Duke was extremely satisfied. The light element attribute can annihilate spiritual energy. The attack power of the Sword of Glory may be average, but it has a strong decomposition power against arcane magic. "Verify it carefully. The Sword of Glory can annihilate spiritual energy." Collision with the Immortal Grip!"

 The idea arises, and two 7-ring forbidden spells are cast instantly one after another.

First, the **** hand of the Immortal Grip grabbed out of the void and held it, forming a huge defensive cover.

 Then the glorious sword condensed from the air, and then slashed at the Immortal Grip at an incredible speed.

 Silently.

The black light of the Immortal Grip dimmed, but at the critical point of being extinguished, it stabilized again without breaking.

However, as Duke released the second radiant sword, the defensive shield of the Immortal Grip was finally broken.

"Two swords... The Eternal Grip can be attacked or withheld. It is not a full-time defensive forbidden technique. If it were a full-time defensive forbidden technique, it could probably sustain three or four swords." Duke already understood the attack power of the Sword of Glory, and he wanted to attack Austria. The destructive power of magic and forbidden magic is indeed very strong.

 It’s just that its lethality is weak.

However, it is not necessary for the Sword of Glory to be too lethal. It only needs to be able to break the defense of forbidden arts and arcane arts, because Duke has other killing moves.

With a slight move of his right hand, a silver-gray desert eagle appeared in his hand.

 There is no appearance difference from the first one-ring sand eagle, but this has been sublimated three times in a row and has been improved on countless versions of the four-ring sand eagle.

The thought came up again, and another big hand of immortality was grabbed out of the void, forming a defensive shield.

Duke held the four-ring sand eagle and fired continuously at the Grip of Immortality. It could be seen with the naked eye that when the bullet hit the same part, the defensive cover of the Grip of Immortality continued to dim, as if this defensive area was melted by the bullet. generally.

 "Arcane decomposition..." Duke murmured.

　　I immediately switched to the violent shooting mode, and the barrel of the sand eagle suddenly reciprocated rapidly, and the inclined bullets were like a line, continuously.

 Boom, boom, boom…

Facing the 7-ring forbidden art - Sword of Glory, the 7-ring forbidden art - Grip of Immortality, which can hold up two swords, was already hit by Sand Eagle's bullets before the four-ring sand eagle's bullet chain was finished. Piercing - The piercing area is small, but deadly enough.

“The effect of arcane decomposition is surprisingly useful. If it is combined with a sword of brilliance first, and then shot with a four-ring sand eagle, the stars will probably be killed by the gun!”

 Duke thought about it in his mind.

Of course, if the stars open up the realm of the star cage, the arcane decomposition power of the four-ring sand eagle may not be enough.

 Yes, arcane decomposition is a skill that Duke and Xiaoyi defined as magical power after deliberation.

It is also the attribute brought by the new ring structure after the three-ring sand eagle is sublimated into the four-ring sand eagle. While the Sand Eagle's power has been fully enhanced, with the help of the arcane decomposition power, it can break through the defense of any prey in a very short time and complete the kill.

“The growth of Sand Eagle has finally caught up with my speed.” Holding the Sand Eagle pistol, Duke felt invincible.

 He is a fourth-level earth arcane mage, and Sand Eagle is a fourth-level sand eagle.

They are on the same level as each other, and they can use the power of the sand eagle to kill enemies across levels and even threaten the safety of the stars.

 The wind from the sky blows on my face.

At this moment, Duke's ears seemed to be ringing with BGM: "A new storm has emerged, how can we stand still..."

 Through time and space, try your best, and I will come to you.

7th Ring Forbidden Technique - Changfeng Ten Thousand Miles Instantly cast, his body swept countless distances, Duke returned to the bedroom of Oak Tooth Mountain Castle, and Vivian, who had practiced her fighting spirit to the point of exhaustion, was still sleeping soundly in bed.
