Studying Science in the Alternate World

Illusion arcana is really wonderful.

Duke wandered about in the Penrose Wizard's Tower, almost invisible to anyone but the Arcanist.

Even the Great Knight of the 1st ring needs to be in a state of concentration to detect the traces of Duke's passing through subtle spiritual fluctuations.

And facing the same level 1 arcanist, as long as Duke stands still, Balza, Blanc, Orianna and others will not be able to find it. But as long as Duke moves, they can immediately perceive the abnormal fluctuation of spirituality and accurately locate Duke's figure.

As for facing the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage, Duke couldn't hide from their perception even if he stood still.

"It's the breath of arcane magic. The second-level arcanist interacts with the spirituality of the outside world all the time, and detects all the information carried by the surrounding spirituality. Therefore, as long as your illusion arcane can't deceive the ubiquitous spirituality, you can't hide it." than my perception." Assistant Vikas explained the reason.

"What about spirit beasts?"

"Spirit beasts with ring 4 and above can also interact with the surrounding spirituality, but the interaction is not strong, so if the spirit beast is not alert, it can be concealed by the illusion. But if the spirit beast is alert, or conscious The search, the illusion is very difficult to do."

"I see." Duke nodded in understanding.

Illusory Arcane Art is a good disguise, but you must not rely on this disguise to feel that you can sneak under the eyes of spirit beasts.

However, in a critical situation, it is not difficult to get rid of the pursuit of the spirit beast by using the arcane magic of illusion and other camouflage. After all, not all spirit beasts can maintain a high level of vigilance and accurately track every spiritual particle around them in a combat state.

As an auxiliary type of arcane, illusion is good enough.

And with Duke's development of Illusion Arcane, its value will further increase.

Throughout the whole day, he didn't study or experiment seriously. He was basically exploring the application of the illusion. It was basically confirmed that the functions of the illusion arcane were divided into "smear" and "copy".

Relying on changes in the surrounding light and shadow, as well as spirituality, objects can be hidden, as if painted out from the real world.

At the same time, all light and shadow effects can be copied within the scope of the arcane magic of the illusion. For example, a cup can be copied in the illusion. Two identical cups, or even three, five or even a hundred can be copied, but it cannot create a toothbrush that did not exist before. .

Duke did an experiment. After he cast the illusion, he "smeared" himself, and then "duplicated" another self, allowing the other self to pretend to walk, and then he stood in place.

Successfully fooled everyone.

Including several 1-ring arcane mages.

Even in an experiment, even Vikas' assistant was accidentally recruited.

"Although I can interact with the outside world all the time, who has so much energy to analyze what the surrounding environment looks like... Don't use me as an experimental subject, I'm already very old, and my five senses are no longer sharp. Why don't you Go to Leadman for an experiment."

Vikas made an excuse for himself, and then encouraged Duke to experiment with Leadman.

Duke really went.

Standing at the door of the laboratory to cast illusion, "copy" a self, walked over and smiled at Leadman.

Leadman, who was doing the experiment, looked up at the cloned Duke, frowned and asked, "What's the matter, I'm busy."

"Director Leadman, let me ask you a question." The copied Duke made a voice.

The illusion can even distort the light and shadow, not to mention the mere sound vibrations. In the illusion casting area, Duke can distort his own voice to any position at will.

"Speak." Leadman replied reluctantly.

Immediately, he seemed to have discovered something, frowned and glanced at the copied Duke, then turned his head suddenly to look at the door of the laboratory.

His face turned gloomy all of a sudden, and he said coldly, "Duke, are you here to tease me?"

"Sorry, Assistant, I just built the Illusory Arcane Wonder, and I'm still figuring out how to use it, so I just have a question and asked you for advice."

"It's not fun, and I'm not interested in accompanying you, so go find someone else." Leadman suppressed his anger and waved Duke away.

"Okay." Before Leadman got angry, it was better for Duke to leave first.

But in his heart, he was very proud. If the illusion was used properly, he could indeed deceive a level 2 arcane mage, so there was a great possibility to deceive a level 4 and above phantom beast.

After all, how could the perception ability of spirit beasts surpass that of high-level arcane mages.

"When Mentor Penrose comes back, I will try it out in front of him." Duke left gracefully.

Leadman in the laboratory quickly put away his gloomy expression. In fact, he was not angry, nor would he be angry about such a trivial matter.

He just doesn't like socializing with people.

"Duke..." Leadman pondered for a moment, "It took about two hundred days for him to complete the wonder of the arcane shield, and he built the wonder of the illusion. This speed...is only a genius arcanist able to possess it, really? depressing!"

Among the Arcane Masters, he is already considered to have outstanding talent.

But when he compared himself with Duke, he immediately felt that the world was full of malice, and no matter how much sweat he sweated, he couldn't compare to talent.

"call."

Leadman breathed out a turbid breath, and his eyes became firm again: "It doesn't matter if he is a genius arcane master, I just need to pursue my spiritual arcana!"

"Continue to study!"

No longer thinking about things, Leadman focused on his own experimental subject.

...

"Arcane shield, illusion, two kinds of instant arcane, and the master's hand is also perfect. With these three arcane, one environment is enough."

Duke felt that he should be invincible among the 1st ring arcane mages.

The main reason is that he has a ring of Sand Eagle, an arcane weapon with superpowers in his hand, which can kill even a 4-ring spirit beast, and killing a 1-ring arcane mage is also easy to catch.

As for killing the 2nd ring arcanist, it depends on what instant arcane the 2nd ring arcanist has.

If there is a defensive type of instant arcane, it may not be able to penetrate the defense with bullets. Once it is blocked by a 2-ring arcanist, the means of counterattack is enough for Duke to drink a pot.

"Secretary Levsky, is the tutor still in the office?" Duke walked around the Mage Tower and went to the top floor.

Levsky was reading the newspaper on the sofa outside, and immediately responded after hearing the words: "Your Excellency is taking a break with the tower today, and is correcting documents in the office."

"Oh, I'll ask my mentor a question."

"I pass it on for you."

Lewski knocked on the office door, and Penrose quickly agreed.

So Duke entered the office, immediately cast the Illusion Arcana, and made a copy of himself and walked to the desk, while he stood at the door without moving.

But the next moment.

Mentor Penrose squinted his eyes and looked towards the door: "I'm ashamed to use this trivial trick in front of me, so put it away quickly."

"Hehe." Duke didn't feel embarrassed, and took advantage of the situation to disperse the magic of illusion.

After asking a small question about card making, he said goodbye and left.

He has already tested the results. In front of the 3rd-level arcanist, the 1st-level illusion arcane has no success rate of camouflage.

A 3-ring arcane mage can already see through the reality of spirituality.

After leaving the Penrose Master Tower, Duke went straight to the Duke-James Farm not far away, and he would make time to visit every few days.

One is to use the breathing method as a 2nd-ring elf envoy, and provide breathing resonance with the 2nd-ring elf Ji Yulu, the spiritual plant, and many Yulu, to help these spiritual plants evolve.

The second is to cast spells on the Chuixuezhu seedlings to help them grow better.

The farm has a special area for planting Chuuxuezhu, which encloses more than 500 mu of land. Unfortunately, there are not even ten acres of Chuoxuezhu that have survived.

This is also thanks to the seeded snow-blossom tree sent by Leadman's mentor.

The Fuxuezhu planted by cuttings, divisions, etc. are basically dead, and only the Fuxuezhu grown from seeds can continue to grow.

"My lord, the growth of the snow blowing pillars looks good, but compared with the samples of the blowing snow pillars sent by Broken Sword, I found that they are seriously degraded. Even if they grow up, they may not achieve the effect you envisioned, my lord." James regretted. Said.

The Broken Sword mercenary group has been around the No. 3 well area, searching for more Fuxuezhu to send over.

Duke is already open to this: "Continue to plant. After Chuuxuezhu loses its resistance to evil spirits, the decline in quality is a predictable result. But we don't care if it falls or not, just keep planting. There will always be what I need." The one that survived the Lingchi' gene!"

The red worm tentacles of Fuxuezhu contain a lot of mixed spirituality, which is an excellent raw material for spiritual materials.

Duke named the genes that can store complex spirituality in the tentacles of red worms as "spiritual pool", which means the pool for storing spirituality.

The purpose of planting Chuuxuezhu is to obtain the spirit pool gene.

"Yes, my lord, I will keep your instructions in mind and carefully cultivate Chuuxuezhu, striving to cultivate the spirit pool gene as soon as possible."

"Cultivate it, you and I will get rich, and the value of Chuanxue Pillar in Lingchi will not be much worse than that of Yulu."

"I know that very well." James nodded. As a Ring 1 envoy of Lingzhi, he could clearly understand the value of Fuxuezhu.

After casting the spell, Duke didn't stay long, and just said goodbye and left.

It's been a busy day like this.

After returning to the Suktara Master Tower, it was time to change clothes. The dining table was already full, and Aunt Virginie had cooked dishes according to his taste.

His little assistant, Murali, and the captain of the guard knights, Vivienne, accompanied him to enjoy the food.

Butler Morris stood aside and took advantage of the meal time to communicate with Duke: "Master, the Mage Tower has been in turmoil these two days, and many management positions have been changed, especially the Su's management staff, most of whom have been ripped off. After coming down, some members of the Su Clan were even dismissed from the Mage Tower."

"Huh?" Duke asked while eating, "Have you found out why these people were replaced?"

"I've made indirect comments about the chief steward Su Li and others, and it seems that Master Suktara ordered that the Su family no longer support idlers."

"That's strange. These members of the Su family are all relatives of the teacher. There's no reason to drive them out?" Duke didn't quite understand.

The mage tower and the castle are one, which is equivalent to the home of the arcanist.

The family will of course live at home.

There's no reason to kick the family out and leave the mage tower and castle in the hands of professionals.

It makes sense to say that the mage tower is managed by professionals. After all, the mage tower is a special existence integrating industry, education and research. But the basic function of the castle is to serve the arcanist and his family. Most of the arcanists who own the tower of the arcanist will live in the castle.

"Sir, I don't know." Butler Morris shook his head.

Vivian didn't have the slightest interest in these trivial matters, and concentrated on eating the food on her plate.

Mu Lali said with great interest: "Sir, could it be the members of the Su clan that made Lord Suktara angry? These members of the Su clan are originally Lord Suktara, and they are adopted brothers and descendants. The kinship can be separated." There is a layer of distance."

Duke makes sense.

But he scolded: "Do your job well as an assistant, and put the rest of your mind on cultivation. These things are not yours to worry about."

"Oh, I know." Mu Lali dragged out her voice.

Duke said to Morris again: "Restrain everyone, try to stay in Tower 2 as much as possible, and avoid unnecessary troubles caused by going out during this period."

Although Suktra treated him very well, but after all, he was dependent on others, and Duke did not want to be misunderstood.

Morris replied: "Master, don't worry, I will restrain the servants."

Vivienne suddenly raised her head and asked, "Do you want to change the training place for the knight guard team? Su's guard knight team has not been very friendly in the past two days, and there have been several frictions with us."

Since Duke moved here, there was a big enough playground in the castle, so he asked Vivian to change the training to the castle playground.

"What kind of friction?"

"Some verbal greetings, and then a few charge competitions. There were losses and wins. It can be seen that some of the big knights on the other side are a little bit angry."

"Really." Duke narrowed his eyes, "Let's go to the farm instead, and I'll come back after I find a chance to talk to the teacher."

"Okay." After Vivian finished speaking, she concentrated on the food again.

After dinner, Duke went to Tower 1 as usual to learn alchemy knowledge from Mr. Suktara, and the teaching atmosphere was as harmonious as ever.

After a break, Duke said with a smile, "Teacher, the atmosphere in the mage's tower has been a bit serious these two days."

"Did you feel something?" Suktara had a kind smile on his face.

"A little bit, Maurice told me, a lot of people have changed in the castle."

"Yeah, a lot of people have been changed." Suktara seemed to be talking about a topic that was not related to him, and his tone was very indifferent, "The tower was made into a mess. I didn't have the energy to clean it up before, but now I have some energy. Get someone to clean up."

"I see." Duke stopped, saying nothing more.

When the rest is over, continue to follow Suktara in class, like a dry sponge, desperately absorbing every drop of knowledge.

Teaching until eleven o'clock at night.

Butler Su Li knocked on the door, interrupting the teaching of the old and the young: "Madam, it's late at night."

"Why is it so early at night." Suktara murmured unsatisfactorily, and then smiled at Duke, "Go and rest, kid, we will continue tomorrow night."

"Good teacher, you also go to bed early." Duke said goodbye and left.

Suktara's gentle expression gradually turned serious, and he looked at Butler Su Li: "During the rectification, some people started to make trouble?"

"What do you mean?" Su Li asked cautiously.

"Duke, is someone targeting Duke, or targeting Duke's servants?" Suktala sneered, "Don't dare to lose your temper with me, an old woman, and dare to vent your anger at outsiders they think Yes, isn't it?"

Su Li pondered for a while, and said, "I will restrain them."

"Sully, listen to me too."

"Old lady, just give orders, you are the only master in Su Li's heart, and Su Li will carry out 100% of your orders."

"I understand your loyalty." Suktara nodded slightly, "My clansmen, not to mention not being my immediate family members, even if they are my immediate family members, they cannot inherit my research in spiritual arcana... But Duke is different, he is my hope."

Give Sully a time to digest.

Then Suktara said gently: "In my life, the most important thing is my research. Whoever can inherit it will be my relatives, understand."

"Understood, Su Li already understood." Butler Su Li nodded solemnly.

"Go to work, such a sensible child, I don't want him to be disturbed in the process of passing on my knowledge."

"As you wish." Su Li bowed and exited the room.

...

"Your Excellency Sorel, my grandma is really confused." Facing the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage Sorel, Su Laier poured out his bitterness.

Sorel is a student of Suktara and the only assistant of the Mage Tower.

However, his research direction is the life box, which is regarded as the field of life, not the field of alchemy, so he cannot take over Suktara's class.

Sorel taught the lesson without pain or itching: "How can you say that the teacher is old and confused, it's too big or small."

"Aren't I in a hurry to get angry? You have also seen that the grandma is too heartless. She directly drove the members of the Su clan out. This is clearly to vacate the cage to change the bird, to make room for that Duke, so that the mage tower and the castle can be replaced." Owner!"

"The teacher has her reasons for making such a decision."

"Don't say that." Su Laier glanced at Sorel, and said bluntly, "You are also a student of Grandma Tai, and you are still a 2-ring arcane mage. Give everything in the tower to an outsider?"

Sorell pondered and said: "If the teacher really decides so, as a student, I can only respect her decision."

"Stop, stop!" Su Laier looked at the pretentious Sorel, and went straight to the point, "Just tell me what you need to do to help us members of the Su clan... Don't put me off, we were driven away , can you get any benefits?"

"Hiss..." Sorrell still refused to speak.

"Grandmother's posture, once Duke has achieved something, even if there is only a little hope, Grandmother will inherit all the mage tower and castle to Duke. Of course we, the Su Clan, will not be in good shape. As Grandma's student, what good can you get from serving Grandma for half your life?"

After Su Laier's mouth was dry and upset.

Sorel, who was silent for a long time, suddenly said, "I want the Mage Tower!"

"Ah?" Su Laier was taken aback for a moment, and then flew into a rage, "Your appetite is really big. If we give it to you, we Su Clan members might as well go to Duke directly. Anyway, the result will be the same."

"Listen to me." Sorel said calmly, "I want this mage tower, and the castle will be handed over to you members of the Su clan. The two parties have made a contract and will never regret it in their lifetime."

"No, no, no, you can't take the mage's tower for yourself, the castle is only worth a few dollars! We want the mage's tower, and the castle is for you." Su Laier didn't let go of killing him. He is not the only one who has the final say on the people of the Su clan. , the value of the castle cannot satisfy everyone's appetite.

After all, members of the Su clan have always regarded themselves as the masters of this mage tower and supporting castles, and it was not until Duke appeared that they felt a sense of crisis.

It's just a sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis is not enough to make the Su clan give up their ownership of the Mage Tower.

"You have also seen that the teacher's decision is obviously that everything will be handed over to Duke. If I don't make a move, you will get nothing." Sorel sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, "Actually, I don't care. When I get life With the title of scholar, I may not be able to build a mage tower, I am not in a hurry, understand?"

"You...can you just watch the Suktara Mage Tower and hand it over to outsiders?"

Sorel sneered: "The tower is not mine, why should I offend another arcanist and fight for the interests of the Su clan?"

"this……"

Su Laier was sweating profusely, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I have to go back and discuss it with everyone."

"Walk slowly, come to me after you think about it."

After Su Laier left, in the empty office, Sorel poured himself half a glass of red wine, shaking his eyes while meditating.

His research is in the field of life, which has already deviated from the field of alchemy.

The reason for staying in the Suktara Mage Tower is self-evident, and it is for the Mage Tower itself.

"Teacher, teacher, you've given up on it. You just let go of everything after spending another twenty years in your old age. Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Sorel said softly to himself, "I've been waiting for so many years, don't Just to serve you well, and then take over your inheritance!"

"What kind of ring copying materials, such an illusory subject, you are still obsessed with it. The method of the great arcanist is that you can easily shake it, so that ordinary arcanists can also learn the ring of projection?"

"so."

"I must shatter your illusions and let you leave this world without regrets, instead of finding another liar to cheat your old foundation." Sorel took a sip of the red wine, which was bitter and astringent. Pretty poor, but he likes it.

The bitter wine entered his throat, making him shiver comfortably.

I feel my whole body is refreshed: "You haven't cultivated an arcanist for the Su clan in your whole life, so it can be seen that the teaching ability is the same, so it's up to me to inherit all this. Don't worry, I, the Su clan, have a lot of good things." Miao Zi, you can definitely carry forward the Suktara Mage Tower!"

"No."

"At that time, it should be called Sorel's Mage Tower!"

Dangdang.

The assistant knocked on the door outside: "My lord, Secretary Subotan is looking for you."

"Please come in."

"Your Excellency Sorel." Subbotan walked in generously. He is the secretary who has followed Suktarah for many years. "My lord, please go over."

Secretaries, assistants, and housekeepers are all service personnel around the Arcane Master, but their job functions are different.

Sorrell nodded: "I see, just pack up and go."

"Then I won't bother."

After Subotan left, Sorel looked in the mirror, rubbed his face, and then showed a gentle and elegant smile.

Only then did he get up and leave the office, and take the spiritual ladder to Suktara's office.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Sorel entered the office.

"Come and sit down." Sukta stretched her hand to signal, and waited for the assistant to pour a cup of tea for Sorel before she said, "How many years have passed in a flash, little Sorel, you are about to become an old man, and I was even older, and half of my body was buried in the ground."

"Teacher, you are still as energetic as you were when you were young. The students believe that you will soon be able to break through the fog of spiritual arcana and be promoted to a great arcane mage."

"Haha, you will say these pleasant words to make the teacher happy." Suktara smiled and shook his head, "Teacher is destined to miss the 4th ring in this life, but you still have a long way to go, and you still have a chance Beyond the teacher."

Sorel responded, "I will definitely live up to your high expectations, teacher."

"That's right, you should have this kind of ambition. The path of spiritual mysteries is full of thorns. If you don't rush, how will you know if you can do it?"

"The teacher said so."

"Sorrel..." Suktara's tone was a bit sad, as if some words were hard to say.

"Teacher, please tell me." Sorel was a little confused.

"I'm going to let you out." As soon as Suktara said the words, he no longer hesitated, "You study the life box, this is the subject you will rely on in the future, and it is also the ladder for you to pursue spiritual mysteries. I am going to delay your future and bind you in this alchemy mage tower."

"Ah!" Sorel felt a thunderbolt at that moment.

He never thought of leaving the Suktara Mage Tower, because he subconsciously regarded all of this as his own foundation.

So Suktara asked him to leave, and his face changed drastically immediately, suppressing the astonishment and anger in his heart.

The voice trembled a little and said: "Teacher, you are joking, how can I rest assured that I will leave you, and I can still do research if I stay here, and it will not delay me. Teacher, you can rest assured. "

Suktara kept smiling: "The teacher is for your own good."
