Studying Science in the Alternate World

On August 30, it was sunny and hot.

Duke with a red mark on his chest and a green mark on his stomach allowed Xiaoyi to maintain 85% power to solidify his spiritual core.

On the other hand, he rode a bicycle and went to the town to inquire about news.

The airship chase incident last night caused quite a commotion in the town, and Duke soon got the news from a mercenary of the Broken Sword Mercenary Corps.

"Ah, I heard that a queen ant with 5 rings was caught!" The mercenary didn't see it with his own eyes, but the news came, "They all said that this queen ant gave birth to wisdom, and it was she who commanded the army ants in the burrow to invade. Farm, but the airship caught the 5-ring ant queen and flew directly to Shenjiao City."

"Didn't you rest in Snake Town?"

"No, except for the airship Sunset in the Erwin Mage Tower, which is resting in Snake Head Town, the other ships of the airship brigade have all evacuated. The mission of the pioneering war command to our mercenary group has also come to an end."

"Okay, is Commander Zina back?"

"No, there are still a large number of army ants in the burrows that need to be cleaned up on the front line, and the large army will have to delay their return for a few days." The mercenary returned to the station early because of delivery, "Do you still want to buy ant meat? I can sell you a few at half price."

Knowing that there is cooperation between Duke and the commander, the mercenary is also happy to be a favor.

Duke shook his head: "I won't buy it for now, I don't have enough money on hand."

In fact, after selling a lot of arcane cards one after another, he already had more than 300 golden dragons on his spirit dragon card. And there is also a 2-level arcane card - the bondage of the python shadow. If this card is also used, the personal savings will reach as much as four hundred gold dragons.

However, considering that he was about to be promoted to the 1st Ring of Arcane Mage, and he was going to Shenjiao City to buy a house and settle down, he would spend money on all kinds of things, so he was not willing to waste money.

Leave Broken Sword Station.

While riding his bicycle, Duke said to himself: "Did you hear that, the red branch was caught by the airship and sent to Shenjiao City... It should be greeted by a fate like a mouse, but you said, The IQ of the red branch is not outstanding, perhaps the arcanists will soon lose interest and dry it into dried meat to avoid pain."

The green mark on the belly flickered, sparking a little warmth.

Apparently the chick can hear outside sounds.

It expressed its anger towards the scene described by Duke, and expressed its reluctance to the red branch, but it didn't seem to be so reluctant.

The reason is that there are ant eggs on red branches in Duke's villa.

Although the red branch will die, its bloodline will continue with the help of this ant egg, just like a new red branch is born.

"But, little chicken, the red branch should have laid countless ant eggs..." Duke still remembered that he asked about it last night.

The little chicken replied seriously: "That's different, this ant egg is the last egg of the red branch, and it will hatch into a little red branch!"

"What's the meaning?"

"The red branch is different from other big ants, and this egg is also different!"

At that time Duke was still a little unclear, but now there is a vague guess that the red branch is a rare 5-ring bloodline queen among the crypt marching ants.

The ant eggs it usually lays should be ordinary bloodlines with ring 3.

But only this one, which inherits its 5-ring bloodline, will be the 5-ring crypt army ant that will hatch new ants in the future.

And Duke also discovered that whether it is a chicken or a red branch, the emotions of these non-human creatures may have parts similar to humans, but there are also many parts that are different from humans. For example, they are more indifferent to the parting and inheritance of life.

The chick has lost the red branch, but with this ant egg, it does not seem to have lost the red branch.

At this moment.

Xiaoyi suddenly sent a message: "Master, there is only 0.01% left to complete the hardening of the spiritual core. Would you like to complete the final step yourself?"

"Yes!" Duke pedaled hard on the bicycle.

He quickly returned to Little Duke's Farm and rushed up to the second floor of the villa.

After traveling through this world for more than a year, he finally reached the most important juncture. He just wanted to complete it and witness it himself.

...

"Are you going to be promoted to Arcane Mage, Duke?" The chick had already rested, recovered from the imprint state, and swung its tail again to swim in the air.

"good."

"Looking at it this way, you are quite powerful among humans, arcanist." Chick said.

Its understanding of human beings is probably learned from its "spiritual" grandmother.

In addition, the spirit beast of Cuihai Valley was brutally killed by the Arcane Master recently, making the Arcane Master a powerful pronoun in its mind.

Duke is about to be promoted to an arcanist, and finally makes it look impressive.

"The best is yet to come, little chicken, don't feel wronged by following me. After five or ten years, you will become the luckiest little elf."

"Oh." Chick said perfunctorily.

Duke stopped talking to it, but waved to Xiaodou.

Xiaodou bared his teeth at the chick first, then jumped into Duke's arms docilely: "Chichi."

"Good Xiaodou, help me be vigilant, don't let anyone in to disturb me."

"Chichi!"

Xiaodou took the lead and immediately jumped onto the beam, staring at the door to maintain a high level of vigilance.

Duke took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the futon sewed by Sister Sally, closed his eyes, and quickly sank into the spiritual sea.

In the center of Linghai, the dim ring is particularly eye-catching.

The bright nine-ring Xiaoyi and the shiny one-ring Sand Eagle, no matter how shimmering they are, they can't steal the limelight from this dim ring and become the focus.

Duke stared at the ring, and quickly found the last sliver of spiritual power and arcane trajectory on the ring that had not yet been integrated.

Idea guide.

Forced integration.

Perhaps it was because of being too excited, the first attempt failed, but Duke quickly adjusted the rhythm, and his control over Linghai allowed him to quickly combine this last trace of spiritual power with the arcane force drawn by it. Tracks merged into one.

Slap.

Like a drop of rain falling into the sea.

The next moment, the entire dim circle, along with the last trace of energy fusion, formed the most stable state of spiritual energy. Then the ring spread out in a strange slow and fast manner, spreading to the entire spiritual sea in a short time.

The circle of spiritual energy also gradually spread and disappeared into the spiritual sea.

ring.

Disappear.

But the entire spiritual sea, from the original pitch black, only bright stars, gradually began to brighten, as if filled with countless spiritual energy.

The light is fast, and the dark is fast.

At the same time, in the center of Linghai, the dim circle that had disappeared appeared again. And it is still the most eye-catching existence in the field of vision, but compared with before, its aura has a more unchanging flavor, as if the spiritual sea had already formed when it first opened.

"Solidified spiritual core... This is my solidified spiritual core... The spiritual sea is its dispersion, it is the concentration of the spiritual sea, it is the rule of all arcane trajectories, and it is also the underlying logic of the world's operation."

Duke's thoughts have left the spiritual sea and returned to reality.

However, he still kept his eyes closed, carefully perceiving the changes in cognition brought about by solidifying the spiritual core.

"If the me before was a drop of water on a splashing wave, then I am now a drop of water falling on the surface of the water again."

"Although I am still such a small drop, I have become one with thousands of water droplets, and I share the whole river, lake, and ocean with them."

"I am here!"

"But my future can be in the deep sea, in the clouds, in mountain streams, or in magma. I am everywhere!"

"Wherever there is spiritual mystery, there is my existence."

"Because I have become a part of the spiritual mysteries." Duke opened his eyes, with a heartfelt happy smile on his lips.

This paragraph of sentiment may be exaggerated, but solidifying the spiritual core means integrating into the spiritual arcane field. To put it in a small way, it is just to be promoted to a level 1 arcane mage, so that you can get in touch with some spiritual arcana; to say it in a big way, the end of the extension of the spiritual arcane is the end that he can reach.

"One is the present and the other is the future."

"Spirituality will guide me to that glorious future. This is my confidence as a newly promoted 1st ring arcanist."

Duke stood up, and under the watchful eyes of Xiaoji and Xiaodou, he grinned: "My friends, now, let me have the honor to announce to you that in front of you is... Duke, a 1-ring arcanist!"
