MTL - Studying Science in the Alternate World-Chapter 220 The Age of Hole Spirituality

  Chapter 220 The Age of Hollow Spirituality

  The natural history meeting was held from morning to night, and more than a hundred people had a working meal at the Xiaoyu Hotel in the evening, and dispersed after eating.

  Cawley's people have contacted the game, but no one invited Duke to play cards.

  Duke simply took Vivian, Mu Lali, Mu Lashan and others to the night market in Runwu City and visited this big city with a population of nearly 20 million.

  The inner city is full of tall towers, one taller than the other. At night, the lights are lit up, as if there is a light show. Especially after changing to the strong light, there is no fear of consuming spiritual energy at all, and the inner city is illuminated as brightly as day.

  A dazzling array of shops, flashing neon signs, and endless crowds.

   Show the style of the metropolis.

  However, compared to the glamor of the inner city, Duke prefers to visit the outer city. He sees many dirty, dilapidated low buildings, and sheds made up of low houses. He can even see crimes happening every time he passes an alleyway.

   Robbery and theft are not uncommon.

   "It seems to be no different from Shenjiao City." Mu Lali sighed.

   "People at the bottom of the class have a similar life." Duke hurried through the streets, and after dismissing a few crimes, his mood faded.

  There is a huge sense of separation between arcane mages and ordinary people.

  This sense of separation is greater than the third brother on earth, the sense of separation between high caste and low caste, but it is not a simple gap between rich and poor.

  Because whether it is Runwu City or Shenjiao City, most of the people at the bottom live well, at least they will not go hungry. But the life of the arcanist class is like heaven, with no disease or disaster, long life of hundreds of years, everything that one expects to have.

   "Common people still have to experience the sufferings of the world in the midst of birth, old age, sickness and death, alas, but I eat and drink well every day, I deserve it..." Duke shook his head.

  Vivienne, who has always been reticent, suddenly said: "My lord, you have done a good job, whether it is private or public morality. You have never bullied ordinary people, and you invented a bright light to dispel the darkness for the common people. The common people are all grateful to you."

   "I haven't done enough." Duke sighed.

   Then he looked at his female great knight again: "Vivienne, I found that you are actually very talented in speaking, talk more in the future, don't always be taciturn."

  Vivian nodded: "Yes."

   Then he resumed his usual rigidity and quietness, conscientiously doing his job of guarding the captain of the knights, and did not take pride in being favored.

  Duke also restrained his sympathy, and wandered the streets of the city from the perspective of a bystander.

   Observe the scenery of this era and this world.

  The towering chimneys emit billowing smoke regardless of day or night, and are blown outside the city by the constant arcane-unending wind.

  The machines in the factory roared non-stop, trucks lined up to pull goods from the factory, and workers rode bicycles, coming and going in shifts. In this huge city, there are ugly pictures and beautiful moments. The suffering of life has not worn away the smiles on people's faces.

   "I can do something..." Duke thought to himself.

   When the people on the street began to thin out, Duke returned to the inner city with his entourage and returned to the Drizzle Hotel to rest.

  The Natural History Conference was held for three consecutive days.

  Duke did not come to the stage for the next two days. He basically listened to other polymaths give academic reports, and then discussed the current development of natural history and imagined the future of natural history together.

   "It's a great harvest." Duke really felt that this academic conference came at the right time.

  Let him have a clear understanding of the natural history development of the entire Seven Towers Federation and even the entire human society, and also know which aspects he should work hard in the future.

  “If we say that the current human society belongs to the era of Hong Dao Fa, like the era of the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution. Then what I want to do is to lead mankind into the era of the third technological revolution, and even the era of Industry 4.0.”

   "A time like this."

   "It can be called the age of spirituality!"

  Duke is full of pride in his heart, as if he has already seen the bright future led by himself: "Compared with the difficulty of technological upgrading, the extraordinary power of spiritual arcana will bring faster, more violent and broader changes!"

   No delay in Runwu City.

  The day after the Natural History Conference ended, Duke returned to Shenjiao City together with Azigul, Ding Kige, Gulewin, and Nawei.

   Cowley and Powis plan to stay in Runwu City to visit friends.

   "Duke, you have made a lot of limelight at this meeting, especially Master Jefferson Rock Sparrow, who is very optimistic about your future!" Ding Jige smoked a cigar, and said casually to Duke, "I even invited you to join the Learning Tower of Runwu City."

   "Um, it's more of a formality." Duke replied.

  Jefferson Chaffinch has lived for hundreds of years. He has never seen any kind of genius. Duke doesn't think that his current performance is much better than those geniuses. After all, he is currently focusing on learning, and the strong light technology is more like a flash of inspiration.

  So if someone is polite, he won't take it seriously.

  Ding Jige didn't say much in this regard, but asked: "What are your plans for the future? I remember that when you won the Outstanding Erudite Invention Award, you said that you still have a lot of natural history inspiration. The giant of light should continue to grow, right?"

  Duke understood Ding Jige's thoughts as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "The Giant of Light is currently seeking a transformation, from a single lamp production to a comprehensive spiritual tool production. However, I position it as a patented production route."

   "Patented production route?"

   "Yes, only produce the spiritual weapon products that are patented by itself. Of course, if you can obtain permanent patent authorization for other spiritual weapons, it is not impossible to produce." Duke continued, "In short, the Giant of Light is absolutely unwilling to be stuck."

   "This is a good idea. The reason why Runwanjia failed was the failure at the patent level. It is difficult to truly monopolize the industry by relying on agents alone."

   "Exactly."

   "However, if the Giant of Light wants to take the patent route, it's okay in Heijiaohe, but there may be many obstacles in other cities."

  Duke looked at Ding Jige with a smile: "It is precisely because of difficulties that we need more like-minded partners. Your Excellency Ding Jige, are you interested in joining the Giant of Light?"

  Ding Jige did not agree immediately, but said with a smile: "Do you know that many shareholders of Runwanjia have divestment plans?"

   "Oh, what do you mean?"

   "The Giant of Light has the potential to become bigger and stronger. I know that there are many people who want to take this express train and spend money and effort. I wonder if you have any plans to accept it?"

  Run Wanjia was only defeated in the lamp war.

  In addition, Kleinda took most of the responsibility alone, and has already alleviated Runwanjia's plight by selling Hebbit's shares.

   But if you lose, you fail.

  Facing the giant of light with the rising sun, the Runwanjia has already become a sunset situation. The arcanists on this big ship do not want to be silent with the big ship, so they want to find a new big ship.

  Duke pondered for a while, and responded: "I have no objection, but the decision-making power of the Giant of Light can only be in the hands of me alone, and I need to trust me 100%. If they agree, I welcome you to join the Giant of Light."

   “Not taking board decisions?”

   "No." Duke smiled lightly, his attitude never wavering.

  Perhaps the collective decision-making of the board of directors can avoid risks and make relatively correct decisions, but this is not what Duke wants.

   Only when the Giant of Light is completely under his control, is he willing to grow the Giant of Light step by step and use the Giant of Light to achieve his goals.

  Lead mankind into the era of spirituality.

   "I see. I'll discuss it with everyone when I go back, and I'll give you an answer later." Ding Jige already understood Duke's attitude.

   The rest depends on how the shareholders of Runwanjia will make their choice.

  …

  Flying for two days and two nights, the airship Chasing Shadow successfully landed at the Suktara Mage Tower and returned to its own territory. It felt wonderful.

   "Chichi!" Xiaodou couldn't wait to go out and play.

   "Levin, take a small bag and go out to have fun." Duke waved his hand.

  The longer and stronger Levin still looked as silly as before. After agreeing, he took a small bag and went to play in the castle.

   As for Duke.

   First, I went to see Suktarah, who hadn’t gone to work in the Union Tower yet: “Teacher, I’m back.”

   "I'm back." Suktara smiled gently, "Have you gained anything from participating in the natural history conference this time?"

   "I have gained a lot, and I have a clear understanding of the whole natural history, and even my path of practice has improved." Duke replied.

  According to Xiaoyi's progress prediction, his current cultivation progress of level 1 level has reached about 58%. Thanks to the promotion of strong light technology, the spiritual feedback of the people enjoying strong light throughout the Seven Towers Federation continued to promote his understanding of spiritual mysteries.

  And this natural history meeting, the exchanges between polymaths, further boosted his understanding of spiritual mysteries.

   After coming and going, the progress of cultivation has already exceeded half.

   And it has not been two years since he was promoted to the Arcane Master.

  Such a practice speed is terrifying enough. You must know that most arcane masters have to settle in the 1st environment for more than ten years or even decades before they can consolidate their understanding of spiritual arcana, and let the spiritual core continue to twist, entangle, and outline until they are promoted to the 2nd ring.

   "Yes, this is also the reason why the teacher does not prevent you from attending academic conferences. Spiritual mysteries are not built behind closed doors. Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Only by communicating with others can you help you comprehend and expand your cognition faster."

  The conversation changed, and Suktara continued: "But since you are back, you should take care of yourself and continue to design and cast the Touch of All Souls with the teacher."

   "Good!" Duke readily agreed.

  Forging a 1-ring arcane weapon-the touch of all spirits is definitely an important learning opportunity for him. There is no other reason. On the way back from Runwu City, the third arcane wonder in his spiritual sea-healing arcane wonder has been completed.

  Arcane Shield, Illusion, and Healing, the three arcane wonders did not fill the 1-ring spiritual core track.

  He can also make room to cast a unique arcane weapon.

   After all, Nine-ring Xiaoyi and Yihuan Sand Eagle are accompanying arcane weapons, which do not take up orbital space, and have given him great help.

   "If there is a chance in the future, maybe I can refine the Sea of ​​Qi and the Sea of ​​Blood into Arcane Artifacts, which also don't take up orbital space... Calculated in this way, I have four Arcane Artifacts, which don't need to occupy the ring orbit, which is much better than others!"

  Currently, he hasn't decided what type of arcane weapon he wants to cast. He plans to learn the technique of casting arcane artifacts first, and then think about it.

   "Then the teacher will go to the United Tower to order a socket first. After dinner in the evening, we will start casting the touch of all spirits."

"yes."

   Send Suktara to the shuttle, Duke himself asked the driver to drive the shuttle, and then left Suktara Mage Tower.

   Instead of going to work at the Penrose Mage Tower, I went to Lingchi Farm.

   Putting on a large arcanist robe and putting on the hood, Duke directly called out the chick, and then merged with the chick.

  Elf form descends.

  The stature suddenly rose to more than two meters.

  Pointy ears, pale complexion, green pupils, flowing blond hair, and significantly stronger physical fitness than before, all made Duke happily intoxicated.

   "If you can keep the elf form all the time, what a pleasure it would be!"

   "You want to fart, you want to exhaust me!" Chick's voice suddenly sounded in his heart, complaining cursingly.

   "Hehe, be quiet!"

   "No!"

   "I'm going to cast a spell on your Ji Yulu. You are not quiet, so I can't cast spells with peace of mind." Duke scares the chick.

   This undoubtedly hit the chick's weakness, and the murmuring sound gradually died down.

  Duke was hanging out in Lingchi Farm, and Xiaoyi hung up the breathing method, covering the surrounding two or three kilometers in the resonance of breathing.

  Whether it is Ji Yulu or Yulu, or other plants planted, such as Chuixuezhu, they are all slowly born in the resonance of the breath. The cycles of natural forces strengthen the roots of these plants and allow them to thrive.

  After two hours of this, the elf form was suddenly released, and Duke returned to a height of 1.8 meters.

  Chicken also condensed his body, panting heavily and looking at Duke: "Quick, give me the spirit crystal, I haven't been so tired for several days!"

   "Don't worry, let me check your body." Duke held the chick by its tail and looked it over carefully.

  Compared with Xiaoyi's previous record.

   "The tail is a little shorter, the hind legs are getting thicker and thicker, and the front end is about to differentiate into five toes... Congratulations, chicken, you have evolved a little bit like a frog!" Duke smiled and took out the spirit crystal and stuffed it into the chicken's mouth. "Come on, work hard, and strive to evolve into a big elf as soon as possible."

   Crackling, the chick chewed the spirit crystal and swallowed it in one gulp.

   Then he rolled his eyes at Duke, and was about to bump into Duke's stomach, when he suddenly stopped: "Duke, I haven't seen Kikyo for a few days, tell the big blonde girl, let her bring Kikyo to play tomorrow."

   "Okay." Duke agreed.

   The little chicken bumped into his stomach and disappeared.

   "Sir, are you going back?" Mu Lali came over and asked.

   "Go to Penrose Mage Tower."

  The Penrose Mage Tower is still the same, quiet and quiet. Except for Vikas, who likes to stroll around, everyone else either stays in the office or in the laboratory.

  Dangdang.

  Duke knocked on the office door of Kiria Raging Waves.

  As soon as Assistant Jiss opened the door, Duke was welcomed in. After serving tea, he consciously closed the office door.

   "Duke, are you back from a meeting?"

"Um."

   "It's the first time to participate in an academic conference, what experience and feelings can you share?" Kiriya had a faint smile on her face, giving people a feeling of being full of collagen.

  Girls at this age are indeed rich in collagen.

  Besides, as an arcanist, I am afraid that for decades or hundreds of years, collagen will rarely be lost.

   "Do you feel that I have benefited a lot, but after the three-day meeting, I feel that I am still a little transparent and need to work harder, otherwise few polymaths will take the initiative to discuss with you." Duke said his true feelings.

   The audience is the main focus, and the participation is not high.

   "Take your time, you are only eighteen years old, maybe the grandsons and great-grandchildren of those polymaths...the great-great-grandchildren are all older than you, and it is normal that they don't like to discuss with you." Kiriya comforted with a smile.

   "Thinking about it, if a seven or eight-year-old kid sat at the same table with me to discuss spell models, I would be awkward."

"Ha ha."

   "By the way, Chick misses Kikyo, can you bring Kikyo here tomorrow?"

   "Okay, Kikyo is also talking about it at home. The number of elves in Shenjiao City is limited, and they are all hidden deeply by the big family. It is rare for Kikyo to meet such a companion as Xiaoji."

   "Do you know how many elves there are in Heijiaohe?"

   "I asked my grandfather, and he was not sure, but there should be five or six. The three spiritual plant scholars in this city should all have contract elves."

   "There are also outlets?"

"There is."

   "Hmm." Duke intends to communicate with other elf owners about raising elves, but after thinking about it, forget it.

   On the one hand, there is no time, and there are too many distracting things.

   On the one hand, I feel that even the Nutao family doesn’t know how to raise elves, so it’s probably useless to ask others, as elves are too mysterious.

   Fortunately, elves have a long lifespan, and Duke still has a lot of time to help the chicken evolve.

   "Okay, I'm here to talk about this, let's go."

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

  Leaving Kylia's office, Duke sat in the office of Director Vikas and chatted a few gossips.

   Now Vikas has completely bid farewell to academic research, and has been dawdling all day long.

   "It's good for you to feel at ease, I will take care of your research group for you." Assistant Vikas said, "You give the experimental procedure, and the team leader Dellas can finish the experiment for you safely, without any problems."

   "Guiding you helped me a lot."

  Duke basically adopts a stocking method for the topics arranged by the tutor. He only needs to formulate the process, collect the data, and then ask Xiaoyi to write a paper.

   There is no delay.

  Only in this way can he have more energy to study other fields.

   "Let me tell you, the mentor still values ​​you." Vikas said with emotion, "I have worked in the Penrose Mage Tower for so many years, and I have never seen any arcane master who is so tolerant to you. Everything is up to you."

   "Yeah, my mentor is very kind to me."

   "Isn't it? I remember when I was young, when I came here to study, I would be scolded by the tutor if I didn't pay attention to my studies. Even Oliana, Balza, and Blanc, if they make mistakes now, the tutor will scold them, but it has never happened to you."

   Vikas said enviously.

  Duke asked rhetorically, "Is there a possibility that I never made a mistake?"

  Vikas was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "You boy!"

   But after he laughed, and thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true, and he had never seen Duke make any mistakes.

  Especially writing papers, it seems that Duke has never been called back to revise once.

   "What a formidable young man!" Waiting for Duke to leave, Vikas felt emotional, "Maybe I can witness the rise of an arcane instructor in my lifetime...Duke, with his current talent performance, he should be able to be promoted to an arcane instructor!"

  …

  After dealing with the chores, Duke devoted himself to the casting of the Touch of All Souls.

   "You have to continue to practice the handling of materials. Ice heart jade beads need to use spiritual energy to stabilize the performance. When it is critical, then inject the prepared velvet silk..." Suktala is a qualified teacher, teaching Duke hand in hand.

  Duke devoted all his attention and followed Suktara's instructions to deal with it.

  Suktara looked at Duke's movements and said, "Operation needs to be practiced. Your talent in understanding is the strongest that the teacher has ever seen, no one. However, in terms of hands-on operation, your understanding is much worse than yours. You must practice in this aspect, and practice more."

"yes."

   Comprehension has the blessing of Xiaoyi, but the operation has to be practiced by Duke himself. The gap is natural.

  Fortunately, Duke is still a great knight. With the blessing of fighting spirit, the coordination and stability of the body have been greatly increased, and his own operation talent has been improved.

in this way.

   Time passed day by day, and it was August in a blink of an eye.

  The casting of the Touch of All Souls has reached the final stage, Suktara has completely let go, and is only responsible for the voice guidance, and the rest of the work is done by Duke.

   "Nice job, boy."

   "It's okay, teacher."

   "You don't need to be humble, your talent in alchemy has surpassed everyone else." Suktala's satisfaction with Duke has already exploded.

  The one and a half months of arcane casting process strengthened her view.

  Duke may stumble a little during the process of getting started, but Duke has no mistakes in the entire process and thinking of casting arcane weapons, even more accurate than Suktala himself.

   This is talent.

  Unparalleled talent.

  A few days later, the Touch of All Souls announced that the casting was completed. Sanfis, who had been waiting outside the laboratory for a long time, rushed to the test bench immediately after Suktara agreed to come in.

  Looking at the whip on the stage, a whip made of crystal, his breathing gradually became short of breath.

   "All the materials have been refined, Sanfis, next, you will refine it yourself and complete the final step of the activation process." Duke said indifferently.

  Sanfis didn't answer, just nodded heavily.

   Then in the laboratory, the last step of refining the arcane weapon began on this exquisite crystal whip.

   Half a day later.

  The crystal whip was completely refined by him, and guided by his thoughts, the crystal whip slowly disappeared on the test bench.

   "Huh!"

  Samfis let out a long breath.

  Duke looked at him a little nervously: "How is this arcane weapon working normally?"

  Sanfis had an ugly complexion, and his brows were tightly frowned. It seemed that there was something wrong with the refinement of the Touch of All Souls, which made Duke feel a little bad.

   "What's the matter, Sanfis?"

  The Touch of All Souls is led by the teacher, but most of the details are actually refined by Duke. It can be said that its success or failure is the most direct test of Duke's technology, and the result will be related to whether the information collected by Xiaoyi during the casting process is correct.

  Sanfis lowered his head and did not speak.

  Duke couldn't help turning his head to look at Suktara, but he saw a faint smile on the corner of his teacher's mouth, and there was no fluster or embarrassment of failure at all.

   This made Duke's heart move.

   Immediately, he slapped Sanfis fiercely: "You are scaring ghosts!"

   "Hahahaha!" Sanfis burst out laughing, "You must have been scared by me, hahaha, I knew that your self-confidence all day long is just pretending, but in fact, you have no bottom at all times, are you not!"

   "Hurry up and get out." Duke's expression returned to calm, and Xiaoyi also successfully verified the technology of casting arcane weapons, so he can safely include it in the database.

  Shan Feisi was overjoyed: "Haha, you are so scared!"

  It was just a prank, and Duke didn't take it seriously at all: "Hurry up and go back, try the effect of the touch of all spirits, and I won't keep you for dinner."

  Suktara suddenly said: "You go to the Scott Master Tower with Sanfis, and use it to check the patient's body to see if there is any error in the function we imagined. If there is an error, you can take it back and modify it."

   "Yes, teacher." Duke replied.

  Shan Feisi also laughed enough, and put his arms around Duke's shoulders: "Go, let's go directly to Shenjiao City Hospital to check the patients, and I will treat you to a drink tonight!"

  Suktara hurriedly warned: "Don't get drunk, Duke will have classes with me at night."

   "Got it, Master Suktara, you don't get paid to help me forge arcane weapons for nothing, so how dare I delay you from teaching Duke." Sanfis also clearly differentiated the priorities, "I just treat Duke to a meal, and I will send him back after the meal."

  The two left the laboratory, took the shuttle directly to Shenjiao City Hospital, and began to experiment with the effect of the Touch of All Souls.

   Looking for tickets~
