MTL - Studying Science in the Alternate World-Chapter 239 Baron Jet Bernoulli

  Chapter 239 Black Jade Baron Bernoulli

  The arrival of De Laili Armor Rat ruined Duke's interest in building the Mage Tower, so after throwing the question to Keyston Rage, he returned to Suktara Mage Tower and continued his research.

  The research on slide cards and illusion cards has reached a critical moment.

   Often mobilizes Xiaoyi's computing power to help him with fusion calculations, which greatly speeds up the research.

  It's a pity that Xiaoyi has too many things to do, and most of the computing power is allocated to the wonder linkage construction of the element shield-arcane shield. And this is precisely a life-saving skill, so there is no delay at all, and the development speed of Sand Eagle 2.0 and Austrian Hand 2.0 can only be sacrificed.

   "Duke, what do you think?" Suktara came to Duke after finishing an experiment.

   "Teacher, what did you say?"

   "Duke Sage Mage Tower." Suktarah said straight to the point, "At the internal meeting of the Union Tower, Lord Keystone criticized His Excellency Bernoulli by name, affirming that His Excellency Bernoulli colluded with arcanists from other places and sacrificed the interests of Heijiaohe... I also knew about the arrival of the Kaishu family."

   "So you're talking about this." Duke smiled, "Actually, I don't have an urgent need to build a mage tower."

  If Keyston hadn't reminded him, he would never have thought of snatching the twin springs.

   After pondering for a while, Duke continued: "But things have come to this point, and I absolutely cannot retreat. This is not only a dispute between me and the Kaishu family, but also a game between Heijiaohe and other cities. If I withdraw, there may be more Kaishu families who want to come and take a share."

   "Then you have to confront the Kaishu family head-on, will the pressure be too great?" Suktara asked with some concern.

   "No problem."

  Duke is full of confidence: "I am a erudite sage, and the Kaishu family will never dare to force me, and Keyston will not let me suffer. The key point now is how to deal with Bernoulli... After several disputes, Bernoulli is obviously alienated, and he is determined to collude with foreign forces."

  Suktara nodded and said: "That's true, alas, who can blame this. Bernoulli is wary of us and uses us, but we have repeatedly rejected Bernoulli. The two sides have formed a knot that is difficult to untie."

  From the pioneering war in Cuihai Valley to the current urban construction plan of Cuihai City, it is hard to tell whether it is right or wrong.

  At first, the Arcane Master of Shenjiao City was very repulsed by Bernoulli's entry. At the same time, Bernoulli also refused to show up, and wanted to use the Arcane Master of Shenjiao City to work for him.

   This is also understandable.

  After all, Arcane Masters are also human beings, and they also need to work with each other, so they will be careful in probing.

  But when the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon joined the battlefield and launched an insect swarm invasion, killing three arcane mages in Shenjiao City, the real turning point came.

   One party wants to hunt and kill the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon to avenge their hatred.

   One party wants to cooperate with the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon to stabilize its own power.

  There was an irreconcilable conflict of interests, and then Duke ran into the ocean of insects, which exposed the fact that the spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley was a large spring, and pushed Bernoulli to the point of nowhere.

  Bernoulli may have been completely eccentric by the time the Black Jade Horseshoe crab was killed.

  The twin springs are just an opportunity to cause conflict.

  "Teacher, don't worry. It's not because spirituality is guiding this situation. Heijiaohe land can be divided into one city and two cities. It's already a great fortune. It can't be perfect in every aspect." Duke comforted, "Let's let nature take its course."

   Actually, I don’t think so.

  Cuihai City is a plate of tempting delicacies, and future competition is essential. Even without Bernoulli, the Kaishu family will still find opportunities to enter.

  Of course this is the battlefield of Keyston and others.

   There is no need to go all out, even if the twin springs are taken away this time, he will not be angry, let alone go up and fight hard.

   "Time is up to me." Duke was clear in his heart, "Compared to a mage tower or a battleship, what I need is time for cultivation and development."

  When he succeeds in cultivation, he doesn't need to do anything, and others will naturally spit out the benefits that have been robbed.

  Only arcanists who can't see the future will be attracted by the small profits in front of them, snatching food like hyenas.

   "The Kaishu family, that's it. Dexter Kaishu is old and has no hope of being promoted to an arcane instructor, so he began to fight for interests and pave the way for the family." After Duke sent the teacher away, he continued the next round of experiments, preparing equipment with one mind.

  He is still thinking about the situation in Cuihai City: "Draeli Kaishu is just the first wave of hyenas scrambling for food. Whether they can keep the food depends on the means and courage of Keyston Nutao and others."

"but."

   "The boss has been in charge of Heijiaohe for nearly a hundred years, and he is by no means an easy person. If the hyenas are patient, they may still have a chance. For a reckless person like Delilah Kaishu, I am afraid that he will be shot out of the head and show others by killing chickens and monkeys!"

   Of course, this has nothing to do with Duke.

  He just needs to watch the show with peace of mind and wait patiently for the result.

  However, after only studying the experiment at home for three to five days, Duke was invited to the Union Tower, and Erwin, who was squinted as soon as he entered the meeting room, was invited to the lounge on the other side.

   "We're going to hold an expanded meeting of the United Supreme Tower, and a special meeting for the conferment of titles in the urban construction plan of Cuihai City. Your first vote is about to begin." Erwin said cheerfully.

   "Expanded meeting?" Duke raised his brows, "The title canonization, is it about Lord Bernoulli's title canonization?"

   "Yes, Lord Keyston has declared the end of the Cuihai city construction plan and the first phase of the pioneering war, and drafted a clause on rewards for meritorious deeds, and sent it to the United Supreme Tower." Erwin said, laughing again, "Guess what title he applied for for Bernoulli?"

  Duke understood: "Baron?"

   "Yes!" Erwin said more and more happily, "Bernoulli wanted to be named a Viscount before, but Master Keyston cut through the mess quickly and didn't give him the slightest chance. He directly submitted it to the United Tower and asked him to be a baron. The name of the title has been drawn up, Baron Black Jade."

  Bernoulli's descendants will soon be integrated into the blood of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, and will be awarded the title of Black Jade Baron, which is worthy of the name.

   "Baron Black Jade, Lord Bernoulli may not be satisfied."

   "We can only be satisfied if he is not satisfied." Erwin shook his head. "I originally welcomed him to settle in Heijiaohe Land, but after all kinds of behaviors, I have hated him and his family. It is rare to see an arcanist who is so selfish."

   After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "I think his brain has been assimilated by the bugs he controls, and his acting style is no different from that of bugs."

   "By the way, if you want to vote, what will you vote for?" Duke asked, "Do you vote for Bernoulli to be canonized as Baron Black Jade, or do you not agree?"

  Erwin replied: "Of course it is agreed to confer Bernoulli as the Black Jade Baron... This kind of low-level enlarged meeting, basically we just cast a vote, and the decision-making plan is discussed at the star meeting. We can only deny or support it."

  The meeting of the stars is the executive meeting of the United Supreme Tower.

  Because all members of the executive meeting are arcane instructors.

  Whether it is the morning star, the bright moon, or even the unborn sun, they all belong to the group of stars, so this meeting is also called the group of stars meeting.

  The arcane masters discuss state affairs, and the great arcane masters have the right to vote. As for the ordinary arcane masters, just watch the excitement.

   Soon someone came to inform Irwin and Duke to go to the meeting room.

  In the conference room, Keyston Rage, Williams, and Stephen Maverick are already in place, plus Duke and Irwin, a total of five people.

  As for Bernoulli, because it concerns himself, he did not get the right to vote in order to avoid suspicion.

   Without waiting for long, a great arcane mage walked out of the arcane projection room of the Union Tower and went directly into the meeting room.

  He held several special contract papers in his hand.

   "I am the Envoy Ravens, the Envoy of the Enlarged Conference of the United Supreme Tower." Master Da'ao looked around the crowd and said calmly, "This special meeting for the knighthood of Cuihai City Urban Construction Plan, a total of forty-eight councilors attended, including five councilors from the Heijiaohe area. Now count the names."

   "The chief ruler of the United Towers, Keyston Raging Waves."

"I am here."

   "This is your vote." Ravens handed over a piece of contract paper, and then read the name of the next person, "Chief Director of the Observation Tower, Williams."

"At this."

   "This is your vote... Chief Director of the Tower of Learning, Erwin... Chief Director of the Tower of Elements, Stephen Maverick..."

   Ravens continued to read the name: "Learned and wise, Duke."

   "I'm here." Duke raised his hand.

   Ravens took a long look at Duke before handing over the ballot: "I have heard about Duke's sage name for a long time, and I finally see you in person."

   "Spiritual love is just a false name." Duke said modestly.

  Ravens withdrew his chatter, and said seriously: "The ballots are specially made by the contract sages based on the information of the magic cards of the members. Once impersonated or altered to cheat, the power of the contract will be locked, and the arcane instructor will personally pursue it."

   This is the warning process that must be followed every time an enlarged meeting is held.

  After the warning was over, Ravens took out another document and read it out earnestly: "The content of the vote in this enlarged meeting is "In the Urban Construction Plan of Cuihai Valley, Bernoulli was conferred the title of Black Jade Baron for his military exploits" discussed at the executive meeting. Members can choose to support, oppose or abstain."

   paused.

  Ravens continued to read: "A total of forty-eight members of parliament related to this meeting attended as non-voting delegates. They are... This vote must exceed and reach two-thirds of the votes, that is, thirty-two votes in support, before it can be passed."

  The reading is over and the voting begins.

  Duke has already studied the ballot in his hand, and then decisively chose to support it, and signed his name.

  The next moment, a mysterious force rose up, as if there was a little more restraint in the spiritual sea, this is the power of the contract.

  The power of the contract is a special use of spirituality.

  At present, Duke has not conducted relevant content research, so he still does not quite understand the form of the power of the contract.

   After all five ballots were cast, Ravens took back the ballots one by one and said: "The results of the vote will be announced tomorrow, please be prepared by then."

   Then turned into little stars and dissipated.

   "How do you feel?" Williams quietly came to Duke, "It's the first time to participate in an enlarged meeting and cast a vote to decide a major federal issue. Do you have a sense of sacred mission?"

   "That's not true." Duke said truthfully.

  This form of voting has been played badly on the earth.

  Williams said in surprise: "You didn't feel it, it's unreasonable. The votes for the enlarged meeting are the pioneering work of our Seven Towers Federation. They represent the progress of society and the sublimation of civilization. They are the guidance of stars and spirituality!"

"I see."

   "Then why don't you feel it?"

   "Um, do you have to have feelings? It's just an insignificant vote for the canonization of the baron. It doesn't seem to make any sense to choose whether to support or oppose it." Duke replied.

  Stephen Maverick hadn’t left yet. Hearing the conversation between Duke and Williams, he immediately laughed and said, “I think what Duke said is right. It’s just a vote. No matter how sacred it is, how sacred can it be? What’s the difference between fighting for votes and fighting for power.”

  Williams glanced sideways at Stephen, too lazy to respond.

  With his hands behind his back, he left quietly.

  Duke smiled and left.

  Wait until the next day, a staff member of the United Tower came to the Suktara Mage Tower and conveyed to him the voting results of this enlarged meeting.

   "Forty-eight votes, forty-two in favor, five against, one abstention, more than two-thirds of the votes in favor, the resolution was officially passed, and His Excellency Bernoulli was conferred the title of Baron Black Jade."

   "Well, got it."

   As a result, there was no accident. Bernoulli got the title of nobility and created the Black Jade Family. But it wasn't the Viscount that Bernoulli expected, it was just the Baron—in terms of fief standards and benefits, the Baron was much worse than the Viscount.

   "In addition, Master Keyston said that the holy city will hold a canonization ceremony for His Excellency Bernoulli two days later, and inform you to participate."

   "Yes, I will participate."

  Bernoulli's baronial conferment ceremony was held on time two days later, in the noble hall of the Union Tower.

  The United Supreme Tower sent an Austrian teacher to act as the host of the canonization ceremony, and personally awarded Baron Bernoulli the honor guard, including baron ribbons, medals, sabers and other ceremonial items, as well as Bernoulli's coronation surname.

  Nobility must have a surname.

  Bernoulli at the canonization ceremony didn't have a smile on his face. Even when facing the instructor of the arcane method, he just forced a blunt smile.

   "I chose 'Black Jade' as the family name."

   "Okay, Bernoulli Black Jade, I hope that you and your family will abide by noble morality and etiquette, continue to work hard for the future of the Federation, and continue to strive for the cause of expanding territory."

  Kiston Nutao immediately took the lead in applauding: "Baron Black Jade, congratulations."

   Applause rang out.

  Bernoulli Heiyu took a deep breath, nodded earnestly and responded: "Thank you for your kindness. The Heiyu family is a start-up, and a lot of waste is waiting to be done, so I will not entertain you. When Cuihai City is completed, I will hold a supplementary banquet at the best hotel in Cuihai City."

   After finishing speaking, he ordered his entourage to bring the baron's ceremonial items, and left the noble hall of the Union Tower directly.

  The Lord left early, and everyone naturally broke up unhappy.

  Kiston beckoned to Duke, called Duke into his office, and said, "Using Baron Black Jade to cut off Bernoulli's thoughts about the Viscount is a small punishment for him, and let him know that Cuihai City belongs to Heijiaohe Land."

   "In this way, I'm afraid Bernoulli will really go to the dark with outsiders." Duke said.

   "It doesn't matter, can he still turn the world upside down? If the Black Jade family wants to gain a foothold in Cuihai City, even if it has the blood of the sub-dragon, he has to stay low." Keyston waved his hand indifferently, "The matter of the twin springs is a bit tricky."

   "My lord, what do you say?"

   "The Kaishu family is just a vanguard army. Not only the big nobles of Runwu City have locked in Cuihai City, but also families of all sizes in several other cities want to get a share of the pie. This is also the reason why Bernoulli dared to sell the interests of Heijiaohe. He may have contacted outsiders a lot during this time."

  Duke nodded and said: "Indeed, the way to integrate into the local area has been cut off. In order to compete for the interests of Cuihai City, he has only one way to bring in outsiders."

   "This increases the variables of Twin Springs, and the Kaishu family is bound to win." Keyston sighed.

  Duke smiled slightly: "Then give it to them, I can build a mage tower anywhere, and there is no shortage of these twin springs."

  Kiston stared immediately when he heard that, "You kid, you really know how to play football!"

   "Hey, I'll be lazy if you are in charge of the overall situation." Duke naturally didn't really want to give up Twin Springs.

  Just kick the ball back to Keyston.

   "You're a very slippery kid, but it's a good thing. You've got a lot of thoughtfulness. If you go to the Holy City of Alchemy in the future, people won't worry that you won't get along." Kiston laughed.

   "The Sankawi family?"

   "That's right. I, the Nutao family and Mrs. Loren Sangawi, had some intersections and sympathies in the past. This time, I will ask the Sangewei family to come forward and compete for the twin springs. After the Shangewei family wins the twin springs, I will transfer them to you."

   "It seems that you have spent a lot of favors in order to make an example of others." Duke sighed.

   "Favours are for use, so can they still generate interest if they are put there." Kiston laughed, "Besides, when you grow up, you may not be the next Loren Sangovi. Aren't the favors between you and me even more valuable?"

  Duke immediately gave a thumbs up: "My lord, you are really far-sighted!"

   "In order not to let me bear the reputation of being old and dizzy, you kid should work hard and strive to climb to the peak of spiritual mysteries as soon as possible."

  Paused, Keyston said loudly: "You are a junior from the Heijiaohe land, and you are also a rare junior with a climate. We old guys, no matter what, we have to protect you from the wind and rain for a while. We can't let the chicks learn to fly hungry."

   Duke was very moved.

  In the evening, Kiria asked Kylia out, and sweetly said some sweet words: "From now on, the affairs of the Nutao family will be my Duke's affairs."

   "Duke, you are so kind!"

  …

  With the appearance of Loren Sangovi, the only 7-ring morning star arcane instructor in the Wind Breath field, the competition for the twin springs is no surprise.

  Dreilly Kaishu withdraws from the competition with great sense of time, and finally the Shankawei family gets the approval.

  One change hands.

  The approval document came to Duke.

  After Suktara found out, he directly assigned his financial supervisor to Duke: "Son, it takes a lot of money to build a mage tower, especially a high-standard sage mage tower. Don't be stingy, the teacher's is yours."

   "This... Teacher, you have supported me too much, and I still owe you hundreds of thousands of golden dragons."

   "No matter how many golden dragons there are, it doesn't mean anything to me. It's just a bunch of numbers. You know what the teacher is expecting, so, good boy, just do it." Suktala has already transferred the mage tower to Duke.

  Even the final deposit was simply given to Duke.

  Duke didn't refuse any more, and nodded solemnly: "Teacher, you must be able to see the success of the ring copying materials, and you can even try the projection ring yourself!"

   "If that's the case, it would be great, but the teacher has to persuade you that you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. You have done a great job now, and the teacher is already very satisfied."

"I know."

   Needless to say.

  Duke doesn't like to boast, he only shows it with actions. When the ring copy material is broken through, the teacher's kindness will naturally be repaid.

   Time has entered May, and Duke, who received the approval, quickly contacted a large local construction company—Flamingo Construction Group.

   "Your Excellency Karius, the Duke Sage Mage Tower will be handed over to you for construction."

   "Sage Duke, don't worry, it's an honor for our Flamingo Construction Group to build the mage tower for you." Karius Flamingo said enthusiastically, "This is the first time we have undertaken the construction of the mage tower. We will definitely do our best and strive for perfection."

   Karius is a 3-ring arcane mage, puppet scholar, and Baron Flamingo.

   The fief is located in Raging Fire Town, next to Snake Head Town.

  Flamingo Construction Group is the industry of the Flamingo family. The family has been passed down for more than 300 years. Many large buildings in Heijiao River are constructed by the Flamingo Construction Group.

   "So I feel at ease."

   "The group will carefully examine the geographical conditions of Lingya Mountain and the distribution of spiritual passages in the springs in the early stage, and then produce the drawings as soon as possible. If you have any needs for the Duke Sage Mage Tower, you can bring it up at any time, and we will help you modify it."

"good."

  Afterwards, Karius enthusiastically persuaded Duke to stay, but Duke couldn't refuse no matter what, so he could only stay in Flamingo Manor in Flamingo Town and have a meal.

  The arcane masters of the Flamingo family took turns to toast him.

   Even introduced several young girls aged seventeen or eighteen to serve Duke personally, allowing Duke to fully feel the enthusiasm of the Flamingo family.

certainly.

  He is very sober, the object of service of the Flamingo family is not himself, but the golden dragon in his pocket.

  A sage mage tower, the construction cost involved, the materials alone must be worth at least a million gold dragons.

   There are also labor costs, arcane construction costs...

  Flamingo Construction Group may not be able to undertake a mage tower in decades, let alone a sage mage tower.

  For the entire Flamingo family, Duke is the biggest client of this century.

   "No, no, I can't stay here tonight. I still have important experiments to prepare when I go back, so I'll say goodbye!"

  Even though the daughters of the flamingo family kept them with their watery eyes, Duke still resolutely bid farewell and left.

  If you don't leave tonight, I'm afraid you will have to entangle with the Flamingo family for the rest of your life.

   "Mu Shaoai knows lust. I didn't expect Duke Sage to still calmly refuse beauty in a half-drunk state. It really is very human!" Karius watched Duke leave in the airship, expressing regret from the bottom of his heart.

   A female arcane mage next to her said with emotion: "Snake Head Town and Liehuo Town are only 20 kilometers away. Such an outstanding young arcan mage was born, but he was not able to be won over by the family, but was drawn over by the humble Black Snake family."

   "Mulland Black Snake, a conservative person, is not as good as his father Mubia in spiritual mysteries, but he still has a good eye for people." Karius shook his head, "I made a lot of money in advance, tsk tsk, a pair of sisters were sent directly to Duke as assistants."

   "Speaking of sister flowers, brother, my flamingo family has no shortage, do you want to send a pair?" asked the female arcanist.

   "Forget it, no matter how much you send, you will lose."

   "Uncle is right. I heard that the sage Duke is very close to the girl from the sky of the Nutao family. I'm afraid I will pay attention to the influence in a short time." Another younger arcanist said, "Maybe we can wait for two years before making plans."

  Karius clicked his tongue twice, and then said seriously: "Some unorthodox means can only be used as a stepping stone. This time, Sage Duke entrusted the construction of the mage tower to Flamingo Construction Group. It must be completed to perfection. I would rather earn less, but also win the satisfaction of Sage Duke."

   "Yes, uncle."

   "Tomorrow, you will take someone to Runwu City, visit several sage mage towers, and familiarize yourself with the details."

"yes."

   "Repeat again, Duke Sage's Mage Tower must be built as a model!" Karius felt that it was not practical enough, and urged him again, "Cuihai City is completed, and the surrounding Mage Towers have not yet been determined, but as long as we build Duke Sage's Mage Tower, we can always win the project of several Mage Towers!"

   Looking for tickets~
