MTL - Studying Science in the Alternate World-Chapter 212 Xiaohong Marriage Flight (thanks to the lord of the barren stars)
Chapter 212 Xiaohong's wedding flight (thanks to the lord of the barren stars)
Happy training didn’t last long. The airship Chasing Shadow had already arrived at its destination, Sheshou Town, and stopped at the newly built Black Snake Air Station.
As the insect tide in Cuihai Valley receded, the 9-ring spirit beast-Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon led the Black Jade Scorpion to dormant, the pioneering war gradually started, and airships from all over the place kept coming and going.
So the Black Snake family simply built this Black Snake flight station in the northeast suburb of the town.
There are several large shuttles in the station, ready to pick up the big shots on and off the airship at any time, quickly check into the hotel in the town, or directly check into the Black Snake Manor.
"Lord Duke." A great knight of the Black Snake family stationed at the flight station greeted Duke and his party respectfully.
Duke didn't speak.
Mulali said on her behalf: "Uncle Muyisi, my husband will live in the Black Snake Manor directly, you can just send us a car."
"Master Duke is a distinguished guest of our Black Snake family. I will personally drive you to the Black Snake Manor." Muisi Black Snake waited on him enthusiastically.
This enthusiasm made Duke feel a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, with Mu Lali by his side, she has already developed a proficient communication skills and handled everything in an orderly manner.
Duke just needs a smile now and then.
The large flying shuttle drove into the Black Snake Manor in the blink of an eye. The high priest Murand Black Snake, who heard the news, went out to greet Duke himself.
"High Priest."
"Duke, you have come home." The high priest held Duke's hand and said with a smile like a kind little old man, "I learned that you have won the title of polymath, and I happily drank a bottle of fifty-year-old wine yesterday. The glory you have brought to the entire Snakehead Town!"
Duke did not resign, but said with a smile: "This is just the beginning."
"Yes." Muland looked at Duke, who had a calm temperament but always exuded high spirits, and said with emotion, "For you, the polymath is just a start. I can't even imagine the heights you can reach in the future."
At this moment, Murand has already made himself shorter than Duke.
If the two communicated before, Murand could still speak in the tone of an elder relying on his status as a 2-ring arcanist. So now facing a scholar who is so young that he can't add any more, his status as a 2-ring arcane mage is not enough.
He also calmly faced this change, and there was a lot of flattery in his words.
Duke understands that this change is a way of life for nobles, but Murand's attitude still makes him very comfortable.
When people get along with others, besides interests, don't they only value an attitude.
After a while of politeness, Muhans Black Snake rushed back from the town, and Muland also happily handed over the task of accompanying Duke to Muhans.
I called for Mu Lali to exchange love with grandparents and grandchildren kindly.
"Little Mu Lali, you learned a lot while studying with Duke, right?" Murand peeled an orange for Mu Lali himself.
When Mu Lali saw this second grandfather in the past, she was always afraid.
But now she suddenly found that when she looked at Second Grandpa again, she no longer had the feeling of awe she used to have, and just regarded him as a familiar old grandfather.
After taking the orange, she replied with a smile on her face: "I have learned a lot, Second Grandpa, my husband is amazing, and he is very strict in supervising my cultivation. Now I have learned how to repair the spirit card. I am a card repairer."
"That's great, this is what a daughter of the Black Snake family should look like." Murand joked with a smile, and suddenly asked, "Have you found a chance to practice the knowledge your aunt taught you?"
"Huh?" Mu Lali was taken aback for a moment.
Then I thought of my aunt Murus, who always taught her how to attract men and how to show her charm.
There were two blushes on his face.
Mu Lali turned her head to look outside, and whispered back: "Second Grandpa, what are you talking about!"
"Don't be embarrassed, these are normal communication among young people. Boys have the charm of boys, and girls naturally have the charm of girls. Your aunt is someone who has experienced it. You can learn more from her. No problem."
"I know." Mu Lali replied with a guilty conscience.
Mulland's smile is still kind, but his tone has unconsciously turned harsh: "You have been with your husband for a long time. Don't always think about studying and practicing. When the time is right, you should also strengthen your relationship with Duke, right?"
Mulali lowered her head: "I know."
"Okay, Second Grandpa won't talk about this anymore. You young people may not like to hear it. But you can't help nagging. You also know that you have the blood of the Black Snake family. The Black Snake family is not stable now. There is no powerful person in charge. The more the family earns, the greater the risk."
"Second Grandpa, isn't it good for the family to guard Sheshou Town? What's the risk?" Mu Lali raised her head and asked curiously.
"Well, there are many risks. Look at the chairman of Runwanjia, Kleinda, who is still a third-ring arcanist. He was also hit by your Mr. Duke and suffered heavy losses." Muland shook his head and said, "During the war of opening up Cuihai Valley, the family made too much money and attracted outsiders..."
The Black Snake family was introduced into the Bernoulli Mage Tower, almost becoming traitors and traitors in Shenjiao City, and Mu Lali knew about it.
So Mu Lali nodded sensiblely: "Second Grandpa, I know how to do it."
"Good boy, Second Grandpa thank you on behalf of the family... Remember, the Black Snake family is stable and strong, only the daughters of the Black Snake family can be valued more."
"Well, I know."
"Go, go home and meet your mother. You will attend the banquet at noon with your husband." Murand waved his hand.
Watching Mu Lali leave, he held up the teacup in the flower hall and drank it slowly.
Immediately, a person turned around from the back door of the flower hall, walked up to Mu Lande and sat down: "Second Uncle, how are you talking with Mu Lali?"
"Mulali is very sensible."
"Just now I heard Mu Lali's old nanny say that Mu Lali hasn't experienced anything before, but this Duke can really bear it." The person who came was Mudis Black Snake, the most potential first-ring arcanist of the Black Snake family. "His female knight, with the old nanny's knowledge, is the same."
"This shows that Duke is a person with great perseverance and perseverance. Only such an arcane master can reach the heights of spiritual arcana."
"Second Uncle, what you said is true."
"Don't take it for granted. Duke was born as an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. No one gave him a little help. He can get to where he is today thanks to his ability. Both talent and means are top-notch. The most commendable thing is that he is so young but not arrogant..."
"Last night at the family meeting, you have already said it once. We all admit that Duke has all the conditions for success, and he is the most potential genius arcanist in Shenjiao City." Mudis laughed.
"I'm emphasizing it!" Murand snorted.
"I understand, I understand, Er Bo."
"It has been decided at the meeting that Duke's reception level will be raised, but you and Muhans must always unify the thoughts of the people below, don't collide with Duke, and ruin the plan of my Black Snake family...Duke will be the strongest foreign aid of my Black Snake family."
"Don't worry, Brother Muhansi is more attentive than me." Mudis cocked his mouth.
Mulland saw it, and smiled lightly: "Why, I'm envious of Mu Hans, and think that Mu Hans has been honored by Duke?"
"Where."
"Hehe, Second Uncle still doesn't know what's on your mind."
Murland directly pointed out: "Don't you also have a daughter, Mu Lashan? Do you want to send her there too? I think that a silly girl like Mu Lali may not be able to win the heart of a determined person like Duke. Sisters, you can give it a try."
"Second uncle, what are you talking about, what kind of sisters, isn't this nonsense." Moody was embarrassed.
Mulland laughed straight away: "What's the matter with the sisters? When your second uncle and I were young, we played more than this. Those mage towers that have stood for hundreds of years, let alone sisters, even three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are not without it."
Moodys was embarrassed and didn't respond.
Mulande made a joke, and then returned to the main topic: "Mu Lashan is your daughter, and my second uncle will not make random arrangements, you can think about it yourself. But I have to say that your focus now is on cultivation, and my second uncle has already contacted the Campos pharmacy scholar to refine the thunder potion for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Er."
"Thank you for my words, I'll talk about it later. I'm still the same old saying, hurry up and break through. If you can break through without using medicine, it will be a great joy for you and the Black Snake family. If you really can't break through, then take the Thunderbolt medicine."
"Second Uncle, please contact the Campos scholar to refine the thunder potion first. I must try my best here. If I fail, I will come to you to get the thunder potion."
"Cultivation is up to you, so think about it."
Leaving the flower hall, Mudis Black Snake turned his head and went to the front hall of the manor, where Duke was chatting with Muhans, and he also sat and chatted for a while.
It wasn't until Duke was going to take a walk in the town that he left.
Go back to your own home.
The wife is reconciling accounts with the housekeeper.
He directly asked, "Where's Mu Lashan?"
"Learning embroidery in the backyard, what's the matter, aren't you accompanying Duke in the front hall?"
"Duke went shopping in the town, I'll come back sometime." After saying that, Moodys got up and went directly to the backyard, where he found his daughter.
"Father."
"Why are you still embroidering at home? Mu Lali came back and didn't go to her for company."
"I went, but she was surrounded by a lot of aunts and sisters-in-law. I was impatient, so I made an appointment with her to wait for Mr. Duke to go out in the afternoon, so we can have fun together." Mu Lashan replied.
Moodys was silent for a while.
Silently looking at his daughter, her water snake waist and oval face are no different from Mu Hansi's daughter Mu Lali.
He then said gently: "You should always keep in touch with Mu Lali. You are sisters, do you know that? When Mu Lali goes to Shenjiao City, you will also follow her. She studied with Mr. Duke, and now she is getting better and better. You should also study."
Mu Lashan was surprised, and then she thought about it: "Father, if you have any plans, just say so."
When his daughter said this, Moodys suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Especially when he thought of the obscene words that High Priest Murand said about "sisters" and "three generations of grandparents and grandchildren", he felt even more ashamed.
So get up and go out quickly.
When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I suddenly turned around and said, "Contact with Mu Lali more, and find Mu Lali to play with more... In short, when I turn around, I will go to the city with Mu Lali and go to the Master Tower to see the world."
After speaking, he flew away.
…
Having a lunch at the Black Snake Manor, Duke is not going to delay the trip any longer, so he is going to take Xiaohong, the queen ant, and set off to Cuihai Valley to "raise relatives".
Xiaohong's current body size is already the size of a calf.
It was bigger than any 3-ring crypt army queen he had ever seen, but according to Chick, Little Red was still far from its mother, Red Branch.
"High Priest, please stay and don't send me any more."
"Then I'll send it here, Muhans, Mudis, and you can send Duke." Muland smiled and stayed at the entrance of the hall.
"Uncle Muhans, Your Excellency Mudis, you don't need to send them off. I'm not an outsider, so I'll just stop here." Duke walked out of the Black Snake Manor, looked back at the few people who sent him off, and paused for a while on the two of them.
One is my little assistant, Mu Lali, and the other is a girl standing next to Mu Lali, who wears similar clothes and looks similar.
Duke couldn't remember the girl's name.
However, Xiaoyi quickly displayed the girl's name information on the vindictive holographic screen: "Mu Lashan, the eldest daughter of Mudis Black Snake, is seventeen years and four months old, a spiritual apprentice, and her mother is Laurin... There are younger brothers and younger sisters..."
"Xiaoyi, what do you mean, do I want her information yet?" Duke complained a little guilty.
Immediately.
On the Dou Qi holographic screen, a big symbol appeared—"?"
Duke turned a blind eye to it.
After bidding farewell to Muhans and the others, they boarded the black beetle car borrowed from the Black Snake family, brought their own guard knight team, and headed for Cuihai Valley.
The Broken Sword mercenary group, which had received the postman's owl letter in advance, was already waiting at the intersection of the main road west of the town under the leadership of Captain Zina.
"My lord, congratulations on winning the title of polymath!" Zina got on the black beetle car and saluted Duke excitedly.
Duke's identity has risen to a higher level, which means that the backing of the Broken Sword Mercenary Group is more stable.
"It's just a false name." Duke waved his hand, motioning for Zina to sit down and talk.
Zina said straightly: "My lord, this is not a false name, this is the highest honor. You deserve the title of polymath. The portable lamp and strong light you invented have brought great benefits to us ordinary people."
"Let's not talk about this, I don't know how many people have sung praises to me in the past two days, and my ears are almost hearing cocoons."
"This is the honor you deserve, my lord."
"Hehe." Duke accepted Zina's flattery, and then asked, "Has there been any major changes in Mutant Forest No. 3 recently?"
The No. 3 mutant forest is the No. 3 well area of the Hibidi Ling Mine Company. It was sealed as a forbidden area after being polluted by the molting shells of ancient evils. Now the forbidden area has been unsealed, and a large forest area has been specially designated to retain the remaining evil spirits.
Under the pollution of evil spirits, a large number of mutated species appeared in the forest, which became a large-scale breeding base for new species.
Mercenaries can freely enter and exit No. 3 mutant forest to collect resources.
"The change is not big, but there are more evil beasts, and some evil plants are marked by the arcanist who guards the mutant forest, and they are not allowed to be collected."
Beasts infected by evil qi are called evil beasts; plants infected by evil qi are called evil plants.
"I'm going to take a look at Mutation Forest No. 3 when I have the chance. By the way, can Chuuxuezhu still be collected?" Duke continued to ask.
Zina replied: "My lord, I am about to report this matter to you. The number of blowing snow pillars in the forest is decreasing, and the competition is getting bigger and bigger. I have already found that several mercenary groups are looking for blowing snow pillars. After my side-stepping, some arcane mages are eyeing blowing snow pillars."
"Yeah."
"Well, among them is the spiritual plant scholar Outlets in the Mage Tower in Snow Valley Town."
"Outlets?" Duke touched his chin.
In Xuegu Town, the fiefdom of the Snow Eagle family, there is an independent Mage Tower nearby, the Outlet Mage Tower, built above a small spiritual spring.
is owned by the outlet family.
Patriarch Outlets is a 2-ring arcane mage and spiritual plant scholar.
"It seems that not only I have noticed the value of Fuxuezhu, but even spiritual plant scholars like Outlets also value its possibility." Duke laughed, not paying much attention to it, "It's okay, Zina, keep collecting."
"Yes, my lord."
Unknowingly, the slow-moving black beetle vehicle had already crossed the boundary mountain range between Sheshou Town and Cuihai Valley, and entered into Cuihai Valley.
It is early summer, and the Cuihai Valley is lush.
At the edge of the safe passage, you can see towering original trees. Failure to become a spiritual plant does not prevent these towering trees from spreading out.
"Stop the car." Duke glanced at the sky, "Camp here."
Soon, the members of the Broken Sword Mercenary Corps began camping with the guarding knights, and they will spend the night here tonight. As for Duke, he will sleep in the black beetle car, and Vivian will also sleep in the black beetle car, acting as Duke's personal guard.
Zina began to arrange people to go hunting in the forest and prepare a campfire dinner.
Duke summoned the queen ant, Xiaohong, from the black beetle car. Xiaohong's body was not red, but as black as ink, so black as to shine.
Silently, he came to Duke's feet, and a pair of tentacles kept touching Duke's legs, expressing his intimacy to Duke.
It signed a master-slave contract with Duke, and the power of the contract made it close to and respect Duke from the bottom of its heart.
Combined with Duke’s Gu-controlling methods consulted by some Gu-controlling scholars, Xiaohong can be easily controlled.
"Come on, Xiaohong, flap your wings." Duke patted Xiaohong's big head, and there were several engraved spots on the top of its head.
Engraved points are related to arcane solidification.
Like gems inlaid on the shell, three gray-yellow and three red-red.
If you observe carefully, you can see that among the six engraved dots, three are greyish-yellow engraved dots, which hide a circle of rings, which are slowly rotating like water, and appear among the three engraved dots in turn. If you look carefully, the encircled rings have three layers.
Three nested rings represent that Xiaohong has grown to 3 rings; three greyish-yellow dots with flowing rings represent that it has solidified three earthy arcane spells.
are respectively 1st level arcane - spinning web, 2nd level arcane - rock armor, 3rd level arcane - mud dispelling rock solution.
The other three crimson engraved dots are a bit dull in color, which obviously means that Xiaohong still has three kinds of arcane arts with fire attributes solidified.
The muscles on the side of the breastplate swelled, and Xiao Hong obeyed Duke's order meekly, and flapped her pair of transparent wings.
Strictly speaking, it is not a queen ant yet, but a female ant.
It is necessary for the married fly to conceive before becoming an ant queen and establishing its own ant colony.
"It's a pity that you are covered with bristles, Xiaohong, otherwise I can ride you around. Isn't this more exciting than a flying mount?" Dukla pulled Xiaohong's tentacles, and then ordered, "Go, take off, and find your happiness!"
Xiaohong speeds up the flapping of her wings, and her spirituality gathers in her wings, as if countless winds are rushing towards her, quickly lifting her into the sky.
Turned around Duke, and suddenly flew into the vast jungle.
"My lord, this contracted spirit worm of yours is really majestic. It's bigger than any burrow marching queen I've ever seen. What kind is it?" Zina came over and asked curiously.
"It's the crypt marching queen, but it's a mutated queen with a 5-ring bloodline." Duke glanced at the already dark sky, hoping that Xiaohong would find the same mutated male ant, and then successfully complete the wedding flight.
…
Shenjiao City, a spiritual tool shop.
"Boss, do you still have Runwanjia's magic lamp?" A customer walked into the store and searched the shelves for a long time before asking.
"What do you want Runwanjia's aura lamp for? I only have the light giant's portable lamp and strong light lamp here, and there are all kinds of them."
"Why don't you sell Runwanjia's aura lamp, it's cheap and easy to use."
"Is the Light Giant's portable lamp not good?" The store owner said, "Besides, Runwanjia's products are all plagiarized. Now that Lord Duke has become a polymath, this is the glory of Shenjiao City. From now on, our store will only sell Light Giant's lamps."
"Of course I know about Master Duke, but isn't the aura lamp cheaper by 1 copper dragon than the portable lamp... Forget it, there is no aura lamp, you can get me a portable lamp."
"A portable lamp, right? 40 bronze dragons."
"What?" The customer yelled, "Didn't you sell 15 bronze dragons before?"
The boss laughed and said: "You also said it was before. The Giant of Light fought with Runwanjia before, so they sold it at a loss. Now that Lord Duke's Giant of Light has won the fight, we must not bring the price back, or we will do charity at a loss!"
"Then it's better not to win and keep fighting."
"Your thinking is wrong. There is no reason to lose money in business. Moreover, Runwanjia's magic lamp is a copy of the portable lamp, which in itself is infringing on the interests of Lord Duke." The boss spoke in a well-coordinated manner, "Master Duke's invention has illuminated thousands of households. Are you willing to prostitute for nothing?"
paused.
The boss continued: "Besides, Mr. Duke has cared enough for our common people. The original price of this portable lamp was 45 bronze dragons. Mr. Duke asked for a little less, so the price is only 40 copper dragons on the market now. A man must know how to be grateful!"
"Grateful, grateful, of course I am grateful, I have replaced a new strong light at home, can I not be grateful to Master Duke." The customer hurriedly explained.
Ordinary people don’t dare to disrespect the Arcane Master. In case they are sued, they can’t afford it.
"It's right to be grateful. Do you want this portable lamp? Let me tell you the truth. Lord Duke has a lot of things to do every day. He has just obtained the title of polymath, so he pays attention to the Giant of Light. If he is busy with research, maybe the managers of the company will adjust the price back."
"I..." The customer hesitated.
The boss seemed to understand: "Don't worry, Runwanjia has withdrawn all the infringing lamps, and you can't buy 15 copper dragon aura lamps anywhere."
"real?"
"You think you, the Boxue Tower has been sentenced long ago, Runwanjia not only dare not produce any more infringing products, but also has to compensate Lord Duke for patent fees. I heard that it is a lot of money, tens of thousands of gold dragons!"
"Okay, I bought it." The customer really needs a portable light.
"To be honest, you might as well add some money to replace it with a high-light portable lamp. It's not expensive. It's only 20 more copper dragons. The brightness of the light is definitely not comparable to that of the portable lamp." The boss said this, and took out the portable lamp and the high-light portable lamp together.
Turn on the switch, the brightness contrast is quite obvious.
The customer felt in a daze that the boss was right, so he took out his Linglong card, transferred 60 copper dragons, and went home with a bright portable lamp.
It was only when I got home that I suddenly realized: "I just wanted to buy an aura lamp for the sake of cheapness. Why did I spend so much money to buy a strong light portable lamp?"
but.
Turn on the switch, looking at the bright light beam of the strong light portable lamp, he couldn't help laughing again: "You get what you pay for, this hand lamp is really powerful!"
But I quickly turned off the switch, after all, it costs a little more spiritual power to turn it on for a while.
Looking at the bright lights that have just been replaced at home, he loves and hates: "It's good, but it's too expensive. To change so many bright lights this month, I don't know how much it will cost to recharge the psionic energy next month... Alas, giant of light!"
Ordinary people not only love the strong light lamps brought by the Giant of Light, which provide brilliant light for the dark night, but also hate that the lamps are not cheap and consume more spiritual energy.
But for Duke, who invented the strong light technology, he only respects him and dare not show any disrespect.
But for Kleinda, the chairman of Runwanjia Spiritual Weapon Factory, who hides in his mage tower and looks at the financial bills sent by his subordinates, he hates Duke deeply.
"Fuck, what kind of **** polymath title!"
"Worthless, worthless!"
