MTL - Studying Science in the Alternate World-Chapter 216 I can't hold back
Chapter 216 Can't hold back
Standing on the edge of Yunding Garden, it seems that you can take in the scenery of the whole Heijiaohe land, with undulating mountains and rushing rivers.
"Beautiful, isn't Heijiaohe beautiful?" Keyston asked calmly with his hands behind his back.
"Beautiful," Duke replied.
"Grandpa likes to stand here the most, looking at the whole Heijiaohe land. Further north is the Huoyou area, which is rich in black oil, but the environment is far worse than Heijiaohe land." Ji Liya said.
"Don't mention the kerosene land, I have a headache when I think of Bernoulli. The Cuihai Valley is such a good place, but it has been taken over by outsiders!" Kiston grew older and became more naughty, and never hid what he wanted to say. "The reason why grandpa likes to stand here and look at the scenery is to protect this land."
"Your Excellency is really the pillar of the sky in Heijiaohe." Duke flattered him a little.
"Hey, Optimus Pillar, hey!" Keyston was very satisfied with this statement, but soon sighed, "It's a pity that the Cuihai Valley couldn't hold it."
"Then I can't blame you, grandpa, after all, there is Yalong."
"You misunderstood the meaning of grandpa. For me, I mean that the meat of Cuihai Valley failed to rot in our Heijiaohe land, and was snatched by Bernoulli!"
Kiston gritted his teeth and said: "At the beginning, I planned to arrange for Williams to develop, but Williams Lai refused to leave in Shenjiao City. There are also the descendants of Mubia's family who are useless, and they directly passed the news to the Bernoulli Tower!"
Arcane mages have deep regional prejudices, especially in this kind of borderland.
Duke did not have such prejudice. He said with a smile: "My lord, the Arcane Master Bernoulli established a family in Cuihai Valley, and in the future he will also strengthen the strength of Heijiaohe. After all, Cuihai Valley is far away from Huoyou Land, and his family can't seek far away."
"You have a lot of structure, but I just see Bernoulli unhappy, old-fashioned, and still so afraid of death."
Kiston snorted, and continued: "If I were to fight with the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, I would kill myself by exploding my spiritual core!"
Duke thought to himself, Bernoulli came to start a family, not to be a martyr.
If we don’t completely occupy the Cuihai Valley, don’t wait for the Seven Towers Federation to be canonized, and don’t refine the spirit beast blood for the family, I am afraid that Bernoulli will not be willing to die.
But there is no need to say this.
Kiston understands everything, he just expresses his heart.
"By the way, my lord, I remembered one thing." Duke thought of the Ocean of Insects in the Emerald Sea Valley, and decided to report the incident. "I went to the Emerald Sea Valley to find a marriage partner for one of my ant spirit beasts, and came across something by accident."
"What's up?"
"Ocean of Insects, I encountered an outbreak of Ocean of Insects in Cuihai Valley, and I also saw a horseshoe crab that looks similar to the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon."
"Ocean of Insects? Are you sure you hit the Ocean of Insects?" Keyston widened his eyes.
Kiriya also looked at Duke with beautiful eyes, surprised that such an extremely rare event could be encountered by Duke.
"Sure, I thought the higher-ups should know, so I didn't say anything. It was only after talking here today that I thought of it."
Duke really thought so.
He also wanted to inquire about some news about the Ocean of Insects from the top management, and then see if he could find an opportunity to benefit from it and rescue Xiaoji's grandma.
Who would have thought that after making inquiries, he would be the only person involved in the ocean of worms.
"I've never encountered an ancient phantom in my life, but you did it?" Keyston looked Duke up and down, "I haven't seen how amazing you are, how can you be so deeply favored by spirituality?"
"Maybe... it's a preference." Duke responded solemnly.
Kiston rolled his eyes: "The Ocean of Insects is the least threatening one among the phantoms of the ancient era. No matter how wrapped up by spirituality those ancient ghosts are, they will gradually decay with time. It can be said that you are very lucky. If you encounter an ancient phantom like the Sea of Fish, you may be killed."
"Speaking of it, I'm also quite scared."
"Where there is danger, there is opportunity. Little Duke, did you encounter any opportunity in the ocean of insects?" Keyston asked curiously.
He has never encountered such a rare thing. This is undoubtedly a great regret on the road of exploring spiritual mysteries.
"It's like watching a performance, and the other benefits really didn't fall, but I did understand a vision of a bug."
"Have you comprehended a new vision again?" Kiria on the side asked in surprise.
My heart is even more inexplicably sad, everyone calls her the daughter of heaven, and Duke is undoubtedly the proud son of heaven.
Everyone is arrogant, why is there such a big gap.
Since she was promoted to an arcanist, she has spent a lot of effort to reorganize her meditation ideas, but Duke's comprehension of visions is like drinking water.
"Yes." Duke nodded.
Kiston also clicked his tongue in amazement: "Little Duke, I seriously doubt that you jumped out of the spiritual spring. What's the difference between this and growing up soaked in the spiritual spring... It's the right choice for you to join Hebedi. This is no more than a hundred times more interesting than an outlet!"
It was getting dark.
Kiston directly took Duke back to his small villa, asked the butler to serve the dishes, and chatted with Duke and Kylia while eating.
"My lord, I'm very curious. The spiritual spring in Cuihai Valley is only a medium-sized spring. How could it explode into an ocean of insects?" Duke rarely met an old antique who lived to be 190 years old, so he regarded him as a living encyclopedia.
"Medium-sized?" Keyston shook his head, "Before you mentioned the Ocean of Insects, I was skeptical, but I did think it was a medium-sized spring, but now I can be sure that this spring is not simple, it is definitely a large-scale spring!"
"Grandpa, didn't you say that you went to see the spring in person?" Kylia was puzzled.
"I've been there, and I've confirmed it myself. Judging from the performance of the spring and the interference intensity of the magical spiritual field, it can indeed only be regarded as a medium-sized spiritual spring. But beside the medium-sized spiritual spring, there are two tree kings with three rings, which is unreasonable."
3 Huanlingzhi, known as the tree king, needs strong spiritual stimulation, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.
"You should know that the spring in Shenjiao City was only two tree kings with three rings, and there was a dragon guarding the spring..." Keyston drank a glass of wine and continued, "Little Duke said that he experienced the Ocean of Worms, which made me realize that this spring is not simple."
Duke hurriedly asked: "My lord, why is it not simple?"
"It's okay to tell you guys. This spring is probably half blocked for some reason, so it shows the characteristics of a medium-sized spring. In fact, it should be a large spring!"
"Could it be artificially blocked?"
"No way, the Black Snake family was the first to discover this spring, but they didn't have the ability to block it. As for Bernoulli, he didn't know about this spring until after us, so he didn't have a chance to do anything." Keyston squinted his eyes and smiled, "But this old thing must have found something!"
He continued to explain: "If it was an ordinary medium-sized spiritual spring, Bernoulli would have invited the arcane teacher over to hunt and kill the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon. Now he doesn't invite, but instead creates the illusion of arguing with the arcane teacher, just to cover up, for fear of being spotted by the arcane teacher."
Duke nodded, and followed Keyston's train of thought and said, "If it's a large spring, a city must be built. I'm afraid it won't be a fief of the Bernoulli family. Is he worried about this?"
"No!" Kiston suddenly sneered, "I think he wants to daydream, with the help of a large spiritual spring, break through the entrances of the 4th and 5th rings, and sit on an equal footing with me!"
said.
Kiston immediately raised his glass: "Come on, little Duke, I want to toast you. You have made great achievements this time. If you hadn't met the Ocean of Worms...if you were to be successfully stolen by this old thing, wouldn't the Heijiaohe land be occupied by doves and magpies!"
After clinking glasses with Duke, Keyston drank it down, and said: "You have made great contributions, so feel free to mention any benefits you want!"
Duke Although the importance of the large spiritual spring is not fully understood.
But this did not prevent him from realizing that he was lucky, so he thought of something and decided to seize this opportunity: "My lord, if possible, I want the ancient spirit in the spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley, a trilobite ancient spirit."
"You actually know that there is an ancient spirit in the eye of that spring, and you know it's a trilobite?" Keyston was surprised, "Your teacher didn't even know, oh, Penrose told you?"
"No, the mentor never told me, I knew it from an elf."
"Elf?"
"Little chicken, come out and meet." Duke patted his stomach.
Then a big emerald green tadpole swam out, a bit confused about the situation, and first saw Kiria next to it.
Suddenly grinned and shouted: "Oh Duke, isn't this the big girl you've been thinking about?"
Patter!
Duke slapped the chick on the table, and then explained with a smile: "I'm sorry, the chick grew up in an ant pile and lacks a little tutor."
Kiliya's eyes lit up, she was attracted by the chick's beautiful appearance, and didn't notice who the chick was calling the big pussy.
Looking at the chick intently.
The chick was photographed on the table. It was connected with Duke, and knew that he was a little reckless just now. Although it had a bad mouth, it was not a fool, and it knew what to say on any occasion.
So just lie on the table and play dead.
Kiston on the other side looked at the chicken with a smile after the chicken came out. He didn't care a bit about who the chicks called big bobs and who had a crush on them, but marveled at Duke's good luck.
It is said that he obtained a relic from a senior arcanist in the forest and mastered a powerful arcane weapon in advance.
Then glanced at the mysterious vine of the United Tower, and realized the guardian · mysterious vine.
I went to the No. 3 well area of Cuihai Valley, and I realized the vision when I went down the well. I accidentally bumped into the ocean of insects before, and I realized the vision...
Now I know that he picked up an elf early on.
"Tell me, little Duke, are you related to that trilobite ancient spirit?" Keyston couldn't help asking.
"What?" Duke was puzzled.
"Are you also born in the spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley?"
Duke realized that Keyston was joking, and replied: "If you say that, I also suspect that my birth may be extraordinary."
"You really know how to hit a snake with a stick, but you have such a strong spiritual favor, cherish this favor, kid!"
"I know."
"The old man also has an elf like this, but it's just a docile caterpillar. I'll ask Gina to bring the caterpillar over later, and your...chicken, right? I know the chick, maybe we can use each other as a reference in evolution."
"My chick was delivered to my door by a crypt army ant queen." Duke recounted what happened at that time.
"Bugs also have feelings and righteousness, but you said you got news of trilobites from chickens, why is that?"
"Before humans discovered Cuihai Valley, the ancient spirit should have discovered that a group of ants raised an elf, so it often came to the ant's nest to teach the little chicken some knowledge, and claimed to be the little chicken's grandma."
"I see." Keyston nodded.
Then he pondered for a while, and said: "The original ownership of the ancient spirit has been determined to be held by Stephen Maverick, and his family's mage tower lacks a tower spirit."
Just when Duke thought there was nothing to do, Kiston said again: "But you have made such a great contribution, and it is unjustifiable not to reward you. I will greet Stephen and ask him to give you the trilobite. When we break Bernoulli's trick and end the pioneering war, the trilobite will be yours."
"Thank you, sir!" Duke was overjoyed.
The chick pretending to be dead on the table was immediately revived with full blood: "Wow, Duke, we are going to rescue grandma, woo woo woo, I'm so touched!"
"Okay, don't embarrass me, be quiet, and go back to the sea of air." Duke patted the chicken.
With the help of Keyston Raging Wave, not only did the chick be whitewashed, but also successfully got the chick's grandma, so he was no longer afraid of being robbed.
Kilia suddenly said shyly: "Duke, can I hug the chick? I haven't seen an elf that looks like a tadpole yet."
Duke immediately glanced at the chick.
Chicken also stared wide-eyed, looking back at Duke.
In an instant, one person and one elf had already exchanged countless inner thoughts, and then reached an agreement. Duke raised his head and handed the chick over with a smile: "Hold and play, the chick likes to eat spirit crystals. I haven't had time to feed it today."
"I'm going to ask housekeeper Gina to help me get the spirit crystal!" Kylia didn't pick up the chick, but turned to call housekeeper Gina.
It just so happens that Gina is going to hug the caterpillar elf, so she can bring the spirit crystal along.
Returning to the seat, he took the chick and put it in his arms.
Chicken also obediently let her hold her, rubbing his head against Kiria from time to time, acting very obedient and sensible.
Not for a moment.
Gina came back with the elf from the Keystone Mage Tower, and carried it in a basket. Inside was a fat, snow-white caterpillar.
The caterpillar doesn't seem to be able to fly. After seeing the chick, it immediately climbed to the edge of the basket and looked at the chick curiously.
Mouth opening and closing not seen.
But there was already a gentle little girl's voice: "Hi, what's your name? Are you an elf too?"
"My name is Chicken, and I'm the future big elf, no, I'm the future elf king!" The chicken swam out of Kiria's arms, came to the caterpillar, and circled around the caterpillar, "Little white worm, what's your name?"
"My name is Kikyo." The caterpillar replied.
"Pujita? Not as good-looking as my name, and you are not as good-looking as I am, but it doesn't matter, you will hang out with me from now on!" The chick flicked its thick tail, and with a pair of short and thick hind legs, it bent and kicked in the air, which was its expression of excitement.
Letting the two elves play, Duke quickly finished the dinner.
Seeing that it was getting late, he bid farewell.
"Go back and keep the matter of the Ocean of Bugs secret, otherwise you may get into trouble if you get caught by Bernoulli." Keyston warned.
"Thank you for your reminder, sir, I will keep it a secret."
"Well, little Kiria, you go see little Duke, grandpa is tired."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Kilia sent Duke on the spiritual ladder, all the way down to the first floor of the mage tower: "You put the chicken in the sea of air, will it be boring?"
"I don't have time to play with him," Duke said.
"Then it must be stuffy."
"If you have free time, you can go to my office, I will call out the chicken, you can play with it for a while?"
"It's... alright." Kiria nodded with a smile.
Duke frowned, and had already reached the gate of the Mage Tower, and his shuttle had been driven by the driver to the gate and stopped.
"Okay, no more delivery, I'll go back first."
"Okay, slow down on the road."
Waving his hands, the two said goodbye, and the shuttle quietly followed the main road and disappeared around the corner.
The lights are bright, and the Keystone mage tower and castle have all been replaced with strong lighting. Every night, it seems that the whole mountain is lit up.
Kiliya stood at the gate, watched the shuttle disappear before turning and walking back.
As if thinking of something funny, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, and his youthful and beautiful face shone brightly under the streetlights.
…
Since eating dinner at Keyston Mage Tower, Duke feels that the relationship between Kylia and himself has improved a lot.
Occasionally when Ji Liya gets tired from practicing, she will go to his office and play with Chick for a while.
Let alone.
Chicken, a big green-skinned tadpole with a bad mouth, plays around with things, but is very popular with girls. Not to mention the little assistant, Mu Lali, who begged to play with the chicken every day, even Kiria couldn't forget it, and brought it spirit crystals every day.
"It saved me a lot of feeding fees." Duke looked at this indifferently.
Didn’t feel that the relationship between them has improved by leaps and bounds just because Ji Liya came to the office a few times, so what should I do or what should I do.
Concentrate on your studies and work.
During the day, I was busy with card making and research on topics in the tower. After work, I returned to Suktara Master Tower on time. After dinner, I followed the teacher to learn alchemy.
Time flies, and a few days pass in a flash.
With the work of the financial team, after the handover of Duke, Clarinda, and Hibidi, Duke, with the support of his teacher, successfully purchased 1% of the shares of Hibidi Spirit Mine Company, and joined the small circle of arcanists in Shenjiao City.
"Hebbidi pays dividends once a year, and the dividends of 1% of the shares can be distributed to about 70,000 Golden Dragons." The financial director reported to Duke.
That is to say, Hebidi can dig up more than seven million golden dragons every year by digging spirit mines.
The giant of light is now relying on strong light technology, and its valuation has been rising gradually. It has reached a scale of three million, but it is not as much as Hebidi's half-year mining income.
"Very good." Duke nodded. "Although the transfer of shares has been completed, the work of your financial team cannot be stopped. You must supervise my industry. In addition, you must also transfer to Youshi Clothing Company."
Youshi Clothing Company was one of the three affiliated companies before him, and the remaining two were Shenjiao City Hotel and Light Giant Spirit Tool Company.
Now, in order to acquire the shares of Hippidil Mining Company, he sold the shares of Youshi Clothing Company.
In fact, Upils and Murusi have no intention of running Youshi Clothing Company anymore. The 2% shares of the Giant of Light and the dividends for the next year will far exceed the income of Youshi Clothing Company.
Duke chatted with Jupiers, hoping that he could serve in the Giant of Light.
Upils has been moved and is now under consideration.
"Don't worry, my lord, my team members and I are taking over your properties one by one and helping you calculate every income and expenditure."
"Very good."
Duke is very satisfied with this. Although it costs a lot of money to raise a financial team, his property is getting bigger and bigger, and he must have professionals to help him manage it.
Besides, there is a contract, which can save him a lot of worries.
Don't have to worry about the finance team stealing their own hands.
The chief financial officer was sent away. Not long after he entered the office after he went to work in the Penrose Mage Tower, the leader of the research team under him came to report the progress of the research project to him, and he had completed all the experimental content he had formulated.
The team leader is his usual spiritual apprentice, the old man Dras of the Mage Tower.
Respectfully submit a data report: "My lord, please have a look."
"That's right, go to Mu Lali, she will arrange your rewards." After getting the test report, Duke immediately handed it over to Xiaoyi for calculation.
Then he asked Xiaoyi to help him write an excellent paper.
He then used a typewriter to type the thesis onto paper.
The ink-smelling thesis was stapled. Duke shook his latest thesis in a good mood, got up and walked to the tutor's office.
It has been almost two years since he came to Penrose Master Tower. Since last year, he has steadily started to produce various research papers.
"Mentor." Duke entered the office.
Mentor Penrose is on vacation today at the Tower, and stayed in the Mage Tower all day to handle research tasks: "Why are you here?"
"I'll hand in the thesis." Duke handed over the thesis.
"Write the thesis so quickly?" Penrose was taken aback. "I visited the Mage Tower yesterday morning and saw your research group doing experiments. Why is it so fast? Don't be fooled by the thesis, the thesis is more important than the experiment."
"How could it be?" Duke smiled without distinguishing anything.
Penrose opened the thesis and looked carefully, the more he looked at it, the deeper the frown became, not because the thesis was poorly written.
on the contrary.
The thesis written by Xiaoyi has greatly improved the text effect on the basis of solid data and clear organization, so that the content of the thesis is no longer a dry data display, but both interesting and gorgeous, as beautiful as prose.
You can also insert some fashionable academic stalks from time to time.
It makes people read, not only without the slightest sense of boredom, but also in a comfortable and natural state, and occasionally smile knowingly.
This is naturally attributed to Duke’s continuous reading of a large number of excellent papers in the past few years, allowing Xiaoyi to expand the database, extract the essence of excellent papers, and greatly strengthen her writing skills.
As a 9-ring level arcane weapon, Xiaoyi is showing its due demeanor bit by bit.
"Hiss!" Unknowingly, Penrose finished reading the 12,000-word thesis, and then involuntarily sucked in a breath of air.
Leaving aside the value of the content of this thesis, the writing alone was enough to shock him.
Rao is that he has written papers for decades, not to mention spending a lot of effort to improve his writing, and he can't write such a smooth and beautiful paper.
"How is my thesis, advisor?" Duke asked.
Penrose put the paper down, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Not bad, some sentences can be revised and published in "Runwu City Spirit Card"...Speaking of which, you have published two papers in "Runwu City Spirit Card" this year."
"Yes, three articles were published in "Runwu City Spirit Card" last year, and two articles were published in the first half of this year. If this article is passed, it will be the sixth article." Duke replied.
Even though he was busy fighting with lights and learning alchemy from Suktara, in fact, his card making skills did not drop at all.
Although the tasks in the tower did not deliberately pursue speed, they were successfully completed one after another.
Of course, most of the topics are not as sharp as his invention of portable lights and strong light technology, and can only be regarded as solid basic work. As a newcomer in the field of card making, he could only complete this coolie-type research topic.
More advanced, not to mention lack of ability, the key is also missing.
"Work hard." Penrose was a little emotional, and then added, "In addition, you must concentrate on studying alchemy, and don't let your teacher down."
"I understand." Duke nodded.
Mentor Penrose is still very kind, and he doesn't mind his distraction in the field of alchemy, and even supports him to inherit Suktara's class.
Immediately holding the thesis, Duke left the tutor's office.
Hearing the sound of the office door closing, Penrose leaned back in his chair slumpedly, and couldn't help feeling in his heart: "In the field of erudition and alchemy, I heard that you are still studying spiritual plants and spiritual insects. With so many distractions, can't you hold back your card making field?"
Then he thought sadly: "Following this momentum, in a few years, I'm afraid I'll be able to get the title of card making scholar!"
"Where is this going to put me!"
