Chapter 222 Ask for advice
Hospitality is hard to stop.
Going any further, it seems unreasonable.
So Duke finally agreed with teacher Suktara's approach and transferred part of her property to Duke's name.
Of course, these industrial transfers can be handed over by the financial personnel of the two, which will not hinder the normal teaching of Suktara and Duke.
Jingle bell.
Suktara pulled the rope bell and called his assistant Subbotan: "Go and invite Terrence in."
"Yes, my lord."
After a while, Terrence sat at the desk.
Suktara looked at Terrence, who was honest and honest, and said gently: "How long have you stayed in the Mage Tower?"
"Thirty years, mentor."
"Yes, I still remember that when you were a child, you entered my mage tower and grew step by step to the height you are today."
"It's all because of your teaching, my mentor, that I am what I am today."
Suktara shook his head: "It's your own efforts, it's the spiritual care for you, the teacher just guided you the way."
After a pause, she continued: "I think you guessed it. I called you here. The mentor is old. It's time to find a new owner for this mage tower. I think Duke is the most suitable new owner. What do you think?"
Although Terrence had long been mentally prepared, he still had some inexplicable and complicated emotions in his mind when he heard Suktara's confirmation.
But soon he got rid of distracting thoughts, glanced at Duke, nodded and said, "I believe in your choice, mentor."
"What a good boy." Suktara smiled gratifiedly, "The mentor is no longer doing research, and I will gradually guide Duke to take over the subjects that the mage tower takes over. So, Terrence, the mentor hopes that you can help Duke."
Duke also cooperated and said: "I am new to the field of alchemy, I hope you can help me to study in this field together."
Terrence heard the words, thought for a while, and said, "I will follow your arrangement, mentor."
Things settled down like this.
In a blink of an eye, it was the New Year’s Eve, and Duke stayed at Suktara Master’s Tower to spend the New Year’s Eve with his teacher.
With the ringing of the bell, the year 4415 of the storm calendar is ushered in.
This year, Duke turned nineteen.
"Sir, this is the dividend of the Giant of Light this year." The general manager, Vuillard, came to visit the Mage Tower the day after the New Year's Eve.
With his wife.
Vivienne didn’t go home for the New Year’s Eve this year. Her identity has changed, so she stayed and spent the New Year’s Eve with Duke.
The Vuillards missed her, so they came over to visit her together.
"The dividends will be handed over directly to my financial supervisor. I will ask Vivian to accompany you to have a meal at noon. If you also rest here at night, I will come back at night and have dinner with you." Duke said politely.
"No, no, you are busy with your work. We will go back after lunch." Vuillard hurriedly said, "Although the company is on holiday for the New Year, there are so many things to do. I have to go back to check the accounts at night."
Giant of Light has completed the third round of financing.
Today's valuation has reached 5 million, and new factories have been built in the entire Fengxi field, supplying directly from the place of origin.
The giants of light have never set foot in the other eleven fields.
The transportation is inconvenient, and there is no ability to set foot in it. In the entire Seven Towers Federation, there are very few large enterprises across fields.
Duke's patent fee, but the fee received trembling hands.
However, after receiving it, except for part of it being used as daily life and experimental expenses, the rest was used to repay Suktara—although Suktara has decided to hand everything over to Duke to inherit, but one thing is one thing.
You can't rely on your successor status, so you won't pay back the money.
"Oh, yes, General Manager Vuillard, the third round of financing is over. You should make an announcement within the company, and the company will no longer raise external funds." Duke thought of something, and directly ordered, "Imitate the system of the Hibidi Spirit Mining Company."
After returning from participating in the natural history conference last year, Ding Jige contacted many shareholders of Runwanjia, withdrew their capital from Runwanjia and joined the Giant of Light.
But Duke requires that these shareholders only have the right to pay dividends and have no decision-making power.
The company will not set up a board of directors, and all management will be handed over to professional managers, and he, the founder, has absolute control.
Many Runwanjia shareholders objected to this requirement.
So in the end, there were not many arcane masters who came to raise funds, but they also raised millions of funds to expand the production of the Giant of Light.
"Yes, I will make an announcement when I return to the company."
"Then I won't accompany you, I have something to go outside." Duke asked Vivian to accompany his parents, and he left by shuttle.
During the New Year's Eve, it is natural to visit relatives and friends.
It has been more than two years since he joined the circle of arcane mages in Shenjiao City. Duke also knows a lot of people and needs to move around from time to time.
First went to visit Penrose, chatted with the former mentor for a while, then got up and said goodbye. I went to Erwin's Mage Tower again, but I didn't see Erwin, but I left the gift. Then I went to Shanmao Town not far from Shenjiao City.
Bobcat Town is the fiefdom of the Bobcat family. Bobcat Baron Jovis Bobcat is a 3-ring Arcanist and one of the rulers of the Union Tower.
Duke didn't have any intersection with Jovis, he came to visit Joanna Lynx.
Joanna is his best friend so far—strictly speaking, only Joanna and Sanfis can be regarded as friends.
As for Kiria Raging Wave, she is a confidante.
"Hi, Duke!" Joanna gave Duke a strong hug when she saw Duke, "Happy New Year, and your spirituality will last forever!"
"Happy New Year, eternal spirituality." Duke smiled.
"My dad has guests, so I'll take you around Bobcat Town first. Is this your first visit to Bobcat Town?" Joanna said quickly, "Oh, yes, I called my brother over. He must be aggrieved in front of the old guys."
However, Joanna failed to call out her brother, Jodik Lynx, instead she called out to Duke, and they entered the castle hall together.
"Dad, Lord Bernoulli, Duke is here." Joanna shouted honestly.
At the top of the living room, sat two solemn arcane mages, one with a middle-aged appearance and the other with gray hair.
"Duke, come here." Jovis waved, "Let me introduce you. This is Sir Bernoulli."
"Hello, Mr. Bernoulli." Duke saluted.
In his heart, he was very curious. Bernoulli actually came to Shenjiao City during the New Year's Eve, which seemed to be related to the urban construction plan of Cuihai City.
After he informed Keyston of the outbreak of the Ocean of Insects, the Cuihai Valley development war evolved into the urban construction plan of Cuihai City. The hopes of the Bernoulli family to quietly occupy this large spring were ruined, but Bernoulli did not die.
Instead, he actively planned and obtained the leading right of urban construction and development of Cuihai City.
According to what Duke heard from other Arcane Masters, Bernoulli seems to have given up the family fiefdom, intending to imitate the Raging Waves family and integrate with the future Cuihai City.
certainly.
Duke knows very little about the struggle between the big men, and it is difficult to participate in it.
His only thought was to wait for Keyston Rage to fulfill his promise and hand over Chick's grandma, the ancient spirit of the trilobite to him.
Bernoulli nodded lightly: "Hello, Duke polymath, such a young scholar is really a spiritual favor."
Almost any arcanist, seeing Duke, will marvel at Duke's youth.
"Duke's talent is unquestionable. Not only is he outstanding in natural history, but he is also outstanding in the field of card making and alchemy." Jovis said.
Bernoulli replied: "I heard that Suktarah seems to have chosen Duke as his successor?"
Without waiting for Duke to answer, Jovis laughed: "This old lady, when Duke was just promoted to the Arcane Master, he considered him as his successor. But then again, the old lady's vision is really vicious, and she can see Duke's talent at a glance."
Seeing that the conversation was about to continue, Joanna interrupted without hesitation: "Dad, Jodick and I will take Duke out for a stroll."
"Go, stay here for lunch." Jovis nodded.
Duke said goodbye to Bernoulli with Jodick Lynx, who had been impatient for a long time, and then left the living room with Joanna.
"Huh!" Jodick exhaled, "Duke, you saved me!"
Like Joanna Lynx, Jodick Lynx is also a 1st-ring Arcane Mage, but he is nearly twenty years older than Joanna.
Now almost fifty years old.
"I knew you couldn't stay, so Duke came to play with me, and I will pull you up righteously." Joanna patted her brother on the shoulder.
Jordick laughed: "Of course I know, sister, you are the most righteous!"
Although he is five years old, Jodick is still unmarried, and his interest in eating, drinking and having fun is far greater than the pursuit of spiritual mysteries.
"By the way, Duke, I haven't congratulated you on your successful graduation." Joanna said.
Duke said with a smile: "After graduation, I just change to a mage tower and continue to do research. It doesn't make any difference to me."
Jordick gritted his teeth: "Oh my God, you still choose to work in the Mage Tower after graduation? Isn't this fatal? I don't go into the Mage Tower more than ten times a year, and I get a headache when I see the laboratory."
"This is a common problem in our family." Joanna sighed, "My dad doesn't like to study academics, and I don't like to study academics just like my brother. Fortunately, there is still an arcanist who can go, otherwise the spiritual arcana will not have a place in the Lynx family."
Jordick deeply agrees: "Yes, this is a common problem in the family. I think there is a problem with the bobtail lynx bloodline refined by the ancestors... Father should be asked to replace the bloodline of the next generation of the family, and maybe there will be a chance to cultivate scholars in that way."
Short-tailed lynx is a spirit beast with five rings, commonly known as bobcat.
The bobcat family is a fusion of the blood of the bobcat. When promoted to the first level, whether it is a great knight or an arcanist, it can stimulate the blood of the bobcat and obtain a light and agile body.
"This is impossible. Although the Bobcat bloodline may have a common problem of not wanting to study, it also gives us stronger arcane talent. I think it is very good."
Joanna thought about it very openly: "Let me or my children in the future study academics like Duke, ah, that would be too scary!"
Duke heard the words and smiled lightly: "It sounds like my life is quite miserable now."
"It's very hard for me to understand, Duke, you scholars, if you stay in the laboratory all day, don't you feel dizzy, have chest tightness and shortness of breath?" Jodick asked seriously, maybe he really didn't understand why.
"Jodick, what do you like, I mean hobbies."
"Well, let me see, I love dancing, I love dancing, and dancing makes me feel excited inside myself."
"Yes, dancing can make you excited from the bottom of your heart." Duke said along the way, "This is the same as our study of spiritual mysteries. To explore spiritual mysteries, to know the world, to understand the laws behind things, also makes us excited."
Jordick's eyes widened.
After a long while, I shook my head: "I don't understand!"
Joanna echoed: "I don't understand, and I don't want to understand, Duke, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go, let's go to the mountains to step on the snow."
Walking around with brothers and sisters Jodick and Joanna, the brothers and sisters were basically talking endlessly, so he just listened with his ears. But I feel very relaxed. Compared with ordinary arcane masters, people from the Lynx family are easier to get close to.
At noon, stay in Bobcat Town for lunch.
Bernoulli has already left ahead of time. When Duke was playing before, he saw the cockroach airship of Bernoulli's mage's tower take off and flew westward, probably to Cuihai Valley.
The urban construction plan of Cuihai Valley has been approved, but there is no movement for the time being. The existence of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon has greatly restricted the development of Cuihai Valley.
Maybe all parties are playing a game, and after the game is over, they will gather firepower to hunt and kill the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon.
After lunch, Duke said goodbye and left Bobcat Town, and continued to visit some familiar arcanists until evening, when he went to Keyston Mage Tower.
"Happy New Year, Spiritual Blessing."
"Happy New Year, Spiritual Blessing."
Didn't see Keyston Nutao, after all, the chief executive of the United Tower of Shenjiao City, too many people came to visit him.
Duke just came to see Kiria.
And had dinner with Kylia's parents, and after the meal, they took Kikyo and chickens and walked in the castle like a mountain city.
"Did dinner go well?"
"Well, it's very delicious, especially the dessert after the meal, like the puff, it's very delicious." Duke replied.
The street lights were bright, shining on Kiriya's slightly baby-fat face, making her smile brighter: "It's the croissant mochi made by my mother. She likes to study desserts the most. I also like this croissant mochi. If you like it, if you like it, I will bring some croissant mochi over there."
"That's great, the chick is happy, and so am I!"
"If I don't bring croissant mochi, will you be happy too?"
"Why not, I like croissant mochi, but I also like platycodon, I will be happy if you bring any one."
"What if you don't bring both?"
"Who knows, let's talk about it when you don't bring it."
"You are such a slippery head!"
On the streets of the castle, there are often patrolling knights passing by, but in the dark there are Eudemons knights following Kiria and Duke, and no one comes to disturb them.
Not far away, the chick was carrying a bellflower on his back, and was circling around a street lamp.
"Chicken, is your master pursuing Kiria?" Kikyo, who looked like a caterpillar, asked.
Chicken's mouth slanted: "No way, Kiria is pursuing Duke. Also, Duke is not my master, he is my younger brother!"
"Do you think Kiria will agree to be together?"
"Sure, my little brother is super charming, okay, I've passed it on!"
"Will they live together with Meimei like the prince and princess in a fairy tale?" Kikyo seems to be a bit involved.
Chicken flat mouth: "That's not true. Duke won't stay for a single flower or plant. He said that he will go to the Holy City of Alfa and venture deep in the wild forest. After my grandma is rescued, I will go on an adventure with Duke. Without my protection, he will be easily trafficked."
Kikyo arched his head: "You are so annoying!"
"Why are you scolding me, I don't know why!" Chick scolded back without showing any weakness, "Be careful I'll throw you from the sky, you little white bug!"
"You big green head!"
"Little white bug!"
"Big green head!"
Amidst the quarrel between Chick and Kikyo, Duke also ended his walk with Kylia. It was getting late and it was time to go back.
Kilia's parents delivered it to the door in person.
reminded: "When I have time, I often come to the house as a guest. Kilia doesn't have many friends. I am very happy that you can come to uncle and aunt."
"Okay, I will come here often, you go back." Duke waved his hand and sat in the shuttle.
The shuttle started and drove to the corner. From the rearview mirror, Kiria and his parents were at the door watching him leave.
"Sir, Ms. Kylia's parents are very good people." Like a little tail, Mu Lali, who follows Duke wherever he goes, said happily.
Kilia's parents, one is a grand knight and the other is a spiritual apprentice.
Originally, the family did not receive much attention. After all, Keyston had too many descendants, but because of the birth of Kiria, he was reused by the family. Now he has taken over many industries of the family, and his status has been greatly improved.
Great nobles like the Nutao family cannot guarantee that every generation of descendants will be able to train arcanists.
Especially a talented arcanist like Kylia.
That's why Ji Liya, who was 18 years old, was promoted to an arcane mage, and under the momentum of the family, she was crowned the title of the girl of heaven.
Whether you choose to marry a foreigner or inherit the family business in the future, you can ensure that the family's favor will last and stand for a long time.
"Big family, you can't see good or bad from the surface." Hearing the little assistant's praise, Duke said something meaningful.
After visiting elders or seniors.
Next, it's someone else's turn to visit Duke.
"My lord, I wish you a happy spiritual life, Offa is prosperous." James arched his hands and smiled. He brought his wife and children with him.
Duke smiled and chatted with the James family for a while, then asked Mu Lali to continue entertaining James' wife and daughter, while he chatted with James alone.
"Lingchi Farm should be relocated as soon as possible, to the vicinity of the Suktara Mage Tower. You choose the location yourself. I'll ask someone to tell the farm manager later."
He no longer works at the Penrose Master Tower, and the Lingchi Farm located around the Penrose Master Tower is no longer convenient.
James hesitated: "My lord, the relocation of the farm is likely to affect the cultivation of Chuanxuezhu this year."
"It doesn't matter, as long as the seeds of the Chuuxuezhu over there can be saved, they will be re-cultivated in the new farm later. I have asked Broken Sword to search for the seeds of the Chuuxuezhu in the No. 3 mutant forest. You will try to crossbreed more and slowly find suitable new varieties."
"yes."
"Returning to Lingzhi, the team still needs to expand. You can recruit people, and you don't need to consider the cost."
"clear."
Now that Duke has become Suktara's official successor, all the industries are gradually being handed over to Duke, including this mage tower.
So Duke is also preparing to integrate his own industries into the Suktara Mage Tower one after another.
A Mage Tower and its surrounding castles are basically a self-sufficient small world. Unfortunately, the Suktara Mage Tower does not have a small spiritual spring. It needs to attract the spirit spring water pipes from Shenjiao City to deliver spiritual energy to the Mage Tower.
This is a hefty fee.
…
After the New Year’s Eve, everything returned to the usual state, and the cold winter did not change anything. Duke was still doing research with Suktara every day.
Teaching while researching.
The cultivation in the field of alchemy is getting deeper and deeper.
And during this period, Suktala took over two jobs from other cities to design and cast arcane weapons at a low price, and started with Duke.
Making money is second, and helping Duke improve is the goal.
The complete casting process of three arcane weapons in a row expanded Xiaoyi's database too much, and also made the research and development progress of the hand of the arcane artifacts progress by leaps and bounds.
One morning in early spring in March.
Xiaoyi sent good news: "Congratulations to the master, the research and development of the hand of the arcane weapon has been completed, and the master can start casting the hand of the arcane weapon."
"The Hand of the Arcane Artifact is finally designed!" Duke was overjoyed.
This arcane weapon designed by him and Xiaoyi has undergone many improvements before and after. During this period, Xiaoyi summed up some difficulties, and then Duke asked Suktara to help Xiaoyi quickly solve the difficulties, and finally successfully developed it today.
In the exchange of ideas, countless information flows in an instant.
Duke already knew the spell model of the Hand of the Arcane Artifact well, and took note of the entire casting process provided by Xiaoyi.
If you don’t understand, Xiaoyi will explain in detail.
In this way, Duke has already achieved a deep understanding of the Hand of the Arcane Artifact, and can officially start refining materials and casting.
"Xiao Yi."
"Master, Xiaoyi is here."
"I have a hunch that this time the hand of the arcane weapon is successfully cast. I am afraid that my study in the field of alchemy will also be thoroughly solid." Duke closed his eyes and lay on the sofa chair. "And, most importantly, this arcane weapon will bring me the last sliver of spiritual arcane knowledge that the evolution of the spiritual core lacks."
In the sea of spirits.
Xiaoyi's work schedule clearly shows his current cultivation progress.
"Process 1, exclusive meditation method, consuming 25% of the power when hanging up the phone. At present, the Linghai level is a level 1 arcane scholar, and the cultivation progress is estimated at 95%, and the time budget cannot be quantified. Important reminder, the evolution of the spiritual core tends to be slow recently, and it may fall into a certain level, which needs an opportunity to crack."
Opportunity.
Duke has a deep feeling that the hand of the arcane weapon is an opportunity for a breakthrough in the evolution of the spiritual core. As for whether it is true or not, we need to try it first.
However, before casting the arcane weapon.
Duke imprinted the spell model in the steady-state ring positioner, and when the teacher got off work from the Union Tower, he presented the spell model to Suktara.
"Teacher, I recently tried to design an arcane weapon, the 'Hand of Arcane Artifact' designed for myself, please check it for me."
This is the moment when he shows Suktarah what he has learned.
Although Suktara has gotten used to Duke's talent, seeing the zigzag, spirally winding, but strangely beautiful spell models in the steady state ring positioner, she was still surprised for a short while, and her heart beat violently.
"This...you designed it yourself?"
"Yes, teacher."
"Huh." Suktara stabilized his emotions, "Son, don't worry, let the teacher take a closer look and see your arcane hand."
Taking a deep breath, Suktara began to mobilize his psychic energy to perceive the spell model of the entire Arcane Hand.
As a third-ring arcane mage and an alchemist, she has designed and cast countless arcane weapons in her life. Regarding the magic models of arcane weapons, it can be said that there are not many arcanist masters in Shenjiao City who understand more deeply than her.
Just at the beginning of the inspection, her brows were raised high, and she couldn't stop the surprise in her heart.
The spell model of this arcane weapon is very high in completion, without the slightest redundant or redundant structure. It is simple, clear and coordinated, as if it is a work that can only be polished by an alchemist after several years of painstaking efforts.
For a full quarter of an hour, Suktara didn't say a word, and devoted himself to the investigation of the spell model.
When encountering some strange structures, I still think back and forth in my mind.
When he figured out why, he would click his tongue in awe, and then continue to check the next structure until it took an hour to check all the structures.
"Teacher." The bored Duke put down his coffee cup and walked over, "Have you finished the inspection? Are there any deficiencies?"
"Shortcomings, no, no, there are no shortcomings, even if the teacher designs it, it is impossible to design it better than you!" Suktara had a treasured smile on his face, "Duke, good boy, the teacher is so lucky to choose you as his successor."
She held Duke's hand, smiling so kindly that she wanted to overflow: "Your talent in the field of alchemy is fully demonstrated in this work!"
She turned to the steady-state ring positioner and exclaimed: "There is nothing to modify, go for casting, the teacher is waiting to see the finished product you cast."
