Studying Science in the Alternate World

"Duke, what are you talking about coming to Offata?" The shell wise man floated in front of Duke, his body outlined by fluorescent light emitting a little light.

It is the tower spirit of the Arcane Supreme Tower, named Shell, and is affectionately called the Shell Wise Man by arcanists. It is said to be the most ancient ancient spirit.

No.

To be precise, it should be a group of ancient spirits.

"I want to look up information in Offa Tower, and I ask the wise man to guide me to the library." Duke explained the intention of coming.

"Which aspect of the information do you want to consult?" Shell Wise Man asked.

"Information about the Ring of Projection, especially the alchemy materials."

"Please follow me." The shell wise man gently shook his flat body, with symmetrical stripes on both sides of his body, rippling like a skirt.

Swim gently to the spiritual ladder.

Duke, who was following it, looked at the shell, and felt that the shell wise man was like a colorful jellyfish in the shape of a big round cake.

After a while, there was a ding-dong sound.

The spirit ladder door opened.

A middle-aged arcane mage walked out. The arcanist seemed to recognize Duke, nodded slightly to Duke, and then left quickly without intending to say hello.

Although he didn't know each other, Duke also nodded in response.

And I saw a colorful jellyfish floating in front of the arcanist, which was exactly the same as the shell wise man in front of him.

no doubt.

That's shell wise too.

Seemingly noticing Duke's gaze, the wise man swayed his body slightly, and the voice rang directly in Duke's ear: "That's me too."

"I understand, shell wise." Duke responded with a smile.

Involuntarily emerged in my mind, the information that I had asked someone before: "Kai... the wise man of the shell is the only ancient spirit in the soup of the shell!"

Shell soup.

This is the oldest phantom in ancient times that Duke just learned.

Spirituality is like a tide that ebbs and flows. When the tide rises, everything flourishes, and when the tide ebbs, everything withers. A rise and fall is a spiritual age.

The life of each spiritual age, when spiritually exhausted, has the potential to leave its imprint on the spiritual fountain. Then, under the impetus of some kind of opportunity, the imprint will be played again, as if returning to the original spiritual age, this is the phantom of the ancient era.

"The oldest phantom of the ancient era is not the Ocean of Insects that I have experienced in Cuihai Valley, but the soup of shells that only happened in Jingjing Lake..."

There are very few records about the soup of the shell, and only the arcanist who has seen the wise man of the shell can learn a thing or two from the wise man of the shell.

After all, Jingage Lake has been developed by human beings, and there will never be phantoms of ancient times like Ke no Yu.

It is said.

In the era of Kakinoyu, the world was like a pot of boiling soup.

There are countless tiny animals with shells living in the soup, without wisdom and soul.

They are a group of the most primitive animals, apart from being able to move, they are not fundamentally different from those plants. After the spiritual age withered, most of these primitive tiny shellfish were obliterated by time, leaving only a little bit of residual spirituality.

It is this little bit of residual spirituality that, after being imprinted by the spiritual spring, continuously merged with each other, and finally gave birth to the only ancient spirit of the shell soup—the shell wise man.

"A shell is a collection of small shellfish."

"So it gathers a shell wise man, and scattered is a group of shell wise men."

While recalling the information about the shell wise man, Duke followed the shell wise man to more than a hundred floors.

The shell wise man chatted with Duke while walking: "Ofata has a lot of books, but a lot of knowledge about spiritual mysteries cannot be recorded by books alone. It needs to be preserved by many means, which is time-consuming and laborious."

"I know this. I have read almost all of the library in the Faling Pagoda in Shenjiao City. The knowledge of spiritual mysteries I have learned is too little, too little."

"Now you have invented film and television technology to record light and shadow in a small slide card, which has given a lot of inspiration to the arcane masters in the tower. They are discussing how to use film and television technology to store spiritual arcane knowledge, and soon these libraries will will change."

The wise man's tone was soft, but Duke could still hear a trace of loneliness.

Perhaps for the shell wise, looking at Offata's full collection of books is happiness, but now the collection of books may become a piece of spiritual cards, making it sad.

Duke didn't console it.

An ancient creature who has lived for an unknown number of times probably does not need human beings to comfort it, how to get out of emotions.

He just said: "Yeah, change often starts from the smallest, maybe a brand new era is beckoning to us."

"You are full of confidence." Shell wise man said.

"You see it."

"Duke, can you tell me why you are so confident in the coming new era?" the wise man asked curiously.

Duke smiled slightly and said, "Maybe spirituality is guiding me. From the tall buildings and magnificent instruments, I can see the beginning of a new era. Shell wise man, if the development of human beings is divided into many eras, then the present should be called The grand arcane era."

"The Era of Grand Arcana?"

"Yeah, the barbaric exploration of the arcane law has continuously pushed the society forward, and ushered in such a vigorous era. I call it the era of the grand arcane law."

"And what about the new era?"

"As for the new age, I call it the Age of Hollow Spirituality."

The shell wise man chewed on the "Dongwei Spirituality", and quickly flapped his sides: "Very interesting, Duke, I want to hear your description of the Dongwei Spiritual Era soon."

"I can't describe it in words."

"Why?"

"But I will use actions to realize it bit by bit, shell wise man, wait at ease, you will soon see the era of spirituality." Duke's eyes were firm, and he had no trace of the coming new era. shake.

The wise man's voice carried a hint of joy: "Time is an insignificant thing to me. Although I can't wait, I will pay attention to you patiently, Duke. I look forward to seeing the new era you mentioned."

"I will, I will."

After finishing the chat with the shell wise man, Duke began to browse every book on the bookshelf in the library.

Soon, he was sitting on the table with a pile of books in his arms, flipping through them one by one. He flipped through them so fast that he didn't even need to think about it.

As her level gets higher and higher, Xiaoyi's hardware also improves, and the speed of data entry naturally becomes faster and faster.

Before wanting to include a book, Duke had to read it seriously.

Just glance at it now.

"Are you reading so fast?" The shell wise man floated in front of Duke again at some point.

"Um, I'm just looking for information. I need to find relevant information and read it carefully." Duke made an excuse to perfunctory.

The shell wise man stopped talking, and his figure slowly disappeared.

For several days in a row, except for eating and sleeping, Duke spent almost all of his time in the Tower of Offa, frantically seeking knowledge.

There are many arcane masters in the outside world who wanted to invite Duke to various banquets, but he declined them all.

On the last day, instead of going to Offa Tower, he found Madron Rhodiola, the chief director of Erudite Tower.

"Principal Director, after careful consideration, I have decided not to study at the Tower of Erudition for the time being. I plan to return to my hometown to follow my teacher and continue to learn alchemy knowledge." Duke sincerely declined the matter of further study.

Madelong frowned: "Alchemy, don't you plan to continue your studies in natural history?"

"That's not the case. Natural history is to transform the achievements of various fields into the needs of society. My research in other fields is still weak, so I want to lay a solid foundation first."

"Too."

Seeing that Duke had made a decision, Ma Delong stopped dissuading him: "Then put aside the study in advance, and arrange it for you when you want to come to study."

"Thank you for your understanding."

"Well, let's go."

Leaving Madron's office, Duke joined his assistants and knights, and played around Whale Song Mirror Lake again.

Only then did they return to the Battleship Canglan, ready to return.

Before dawn the next day, the battleship Canglan slowly lifted into the sky. Standing in front of the porthole, Duke looked at the shrinking Arcane City and the emerald Whale Song Mirror Lake, thinking silently.

A large whale jumped out of the water, as if to see him off.

When you come, you will be a scholar, and when you return, you will be a learned man.

When you come, you are the son of the sun, and when you come back, you are the lord of time and shadow.

In just ten days, his status and reputation have all been greatly improved, especially becoming a member of the enlarged meeting of the Union Tower, which made him a senior member of the federal government.

"When I come back next time, perhaps, I should bring communication technology and be promoted to the chief sage of Offa Tower in one fell swoop!"

Looking at the Alfa holy city that shrank into a small point.

The corners of Duke's mouth curled up slightly.

Woo hoo!

The Canglan made a crisp whistle sound, and rushed into the clouds, leaving the Holy City of Arcadia and Whale Song Mirror Lake behind.

...

May 15.

The battleship Canglan arrived at the Chengdong Air Station of Shenjiao City. It took Duke and his party a month and a half before they finally returned to Heijiao River.

Then take the shuttle and return to Suktara Master Tower in a low-key manner.

"teacher."

"Good boy!" Seeing his student coming back, Suktara couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Teacher has read about your news in the newspaper, Lord of Light and Shadow, you really made a big splash in the Holy City of Arcana!" His reputation and achievements have far surpassed that of his teacher!"

Suktala is only a third-ring arcane mage, and he is a big shot in Heijiaohe, but looking at the entire Seven Towers Federation, he can only be regarded as an ordinary arcane mage.

Duke, on the other hand, is a erudite sage on an equal footing with the Great Arcane Master.

"Spiritual blessings, I have received many honors in natural history, but I am still weak in other fields of research, and I have to continue to learn alchemy knowledge from you, teacher." Duke replied with a smile, without any arrogance.

Even though his current status has surpassed Suktara, he still maintains respect.

"You can not forget your original intention, the teacher is very touched." Suktara patted Duke's hand, smiling kindly, "Then let's resume teaching as soon as possible."

"Uh... ok."

The teacher was worried about the inheritance of the reproduction materials of the ring, and Duke was also concerned about the related technology of the projection ring, so the teacher and the student quickly finalized the teaching time.

After a two-day break, classes began.

Before the two of them had any more conversation, the butler Su Li came over and informed: "Old lady, Lord Duke, and Lord Irwin are here to visit."

"Ask him to come here." Suktara ordered.

Then he said to Duke: "It must be because of your position arrangement. After you completed the canonization of learned sages in the Holy City of Arcane, the United Tower will hold a five-tower meeting to discuss how to arrange your new position in Heijiaohe Land." .”

Duke has one vote in the enlarged meeting, which is the proof of power and status.

No one can ignore this.

"Has there been any results from the discussion?" Duke asked curiously.

"No." Suktara said with a smile, "If it is a major matter that is decided on the fly, Lord Keystone will choose to cut the mess quickly, but for such things that are not in a hurry, this old guy likes to watch dramas and let others quarrel. Come and make noise."

Duke commented: "Bad taste."

"It's just bad fun. In fact, not only your new position has not been arranged, but Bernoulli's new position has not been discussed."

"Bernoulli still intends to serve in Heijiaohe?"

"Of course he thought, he can still live for decades. If he doesn't occupy a place in Heijiaohe, how can he ensure that the family he created can be passed on safely." news-clever.

In other words, these personnel discussion meetings will eventually need to be filed with her, and she can see all the content immediately.

During the conversation.

Erwin has already walked in with a smile. If you don't look carefully, he gives the impression of an ordinary little old man.

While laughing, he murmured: "The son of the sun in Heijiaohe land, the lord of light and shadow in the holy city of Arcane, Duke, has quietly returned to the place of spiritual guidance!"

"Master Erwin." Suktara bowed slightly.

Duke responded with a smile: "Master Erwin, you are making fun of me."

"How can it be a joke? This is the glory you have won, and because of your glory, Heijiaohe has become a dazzling pearl in the Seven Towers Federation." After Erwin came in, he sat on a chair, "In addition, you With my current status, it is inappropriate to call me an adult, you and I can just call each other by our real names."

"How can this be, you are a senior."

"In the field of spiritual mystical law, why do you need to follow the shackles of the vulgar rules of the elders and the younger generations? Those who have mastered it come first. You and I call each other names. Otherwise, if you call me Lord Erwin, I will also call you Lord Duke." Wen insisted again and again.

Duke could only nod his head and agree: "Alright then, Your Excellency Erwin."

Erwin cupped his hands, and replied very seriously: "Your Excellency Duke."

"Master Erwin, what are you doing here?" Suktara interrupted the mutual politeness and modest remarks between the two, and asked proactively.

"As a teacher, you can also help me to discuss this matter." Erwin took a sip of tea and said, "Master Keyston found me in private and asked me to ask Duke's opinion. Duke arranges to work in Shenjiao City, and arrange it after Cuihai City is completed."

After a pause, he continued: "The main purpose of doing this is to shut Bernoulli's mouth. Recently, Bernoulli has been seeking a position in Shenjiao City. We don't want to give it to him, so as to prevent him from reaching an agreement with Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon in private. Agreement, lost opportunity for revenge."

The insect swarm invasion caused by the black jade horseshoe dragon directly killed a 2-ring arcane mage and two 1-ring arcane mages in Shenjiao city.

Keyston and the others couldn't let go of this hatred.

And Bernoulli wanted to put aside his hatred and pull the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon into his camp, so that he could strengthen his own power.

"Well, if that's the case, I'm willing to make a contribution and exchange a son with Bernoulli." Duke nodded in agreement.

In fact, he doesn't want to be distracted by government affairs now. After all, he is only nineteen years old, and it is time to lay a solid foundation and work hard for the future to create an era of spirituality.

It is unwise to be obsessed with the power of a mere place now.

"I guessed that you would agree. If you stand up and agree to work in Cuihai City, we can stop Bernoulli and let him also work in Cuihai City." Erwin said with a smile, "Both It can stop him from joining forces with the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, and it can also make him work harder to build Cuihai City, killing two birds with one stone!"

After hearing this, Suktara snorted: "You big men are intriguing and using Duke as a weapon. Don't be stingy about the benefits you should give."

Erwin smiled and said, "Don't worry, with Lord Keyston here, are you afraid that Duke will suffer a disadvantage?"

Just as he was talking, Butler Su Li came in again, walked straight to Duke, and replied, "Ms. Kylia Nutao is visiting."

Erwin's ears were sharp, and his eyes narrowed as soon as he heard the words: "Let me just say it, old madam, what are you worried about, you student won't suffer anything in Heijiaohe."

Suktara also smiled: "It's all nonsense, he is still young, how could he not suffer."

Facing the ridicule of the two, Duke's expression did not change: "Your Excellency Erwin, if there is nothing else, then I will go out first."

"Go and do your work, I'll talk to your teacher for a while."

Duke got up to leave.

Soon I saw the blonde girl in the arcane robe. No matter how you look at it, Kylia grew up in his aesthetics.

"Lord Duke." Kylia bowed when she saw Duke.

Duke took Kiria's hand: "If you still want to salute me, wouldn't it break the relationship between us?"

Kylia let Duke hold hands and walked in the No. 2 tower: "You are a learned man now, I'm just a ring 1 arcanist."

While speaking, Kylia secretly looked at Duke with a sly smile.

Duke raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle and looked at the white clouds outside the window: "So what, in my eyes, all human beings are created equal. Even the 8-ring Huiyue Arcane instructor who lives in the Holy City of Arcane Arts is no better than Shen Jiaoshi. A beggar in the street is nobler."

Kiria smiled and said, "Then do you dare not salute the teacher of the arcane method?"

"Dare... If they don't hit me, I really dare!" When Duke spoke, he looked upright and awe-inspiring.

It wasn't a funny joke, but it made Kylia laugh out loud.

It took a while to stop: "Oh, I almost forgot, I brought Kikyo." She waved to the assistant who was behind in the corridor not far away.

The assistant immediately trotted over to bring a basket.

Kikyo's head was exposed inside, and he said rather resentfully: "Kilia, I thought you forgot me."

"Sorry, how could that be?" Kylia frowned.

Duke patted his stomach directly, and the next moment, the chick rushed out arrogantly, and locked on the bellflower at a glance.

The thick tail flicked quickly, and he raised his head and shouted loudly: "Jiangyou, I have already been to the holy city of arcane arts, and even the instructor of arcane arts has seen a large group, and now I am the one who has seen the most people in the whole Heijiaohe land." The little elf, it's not you anymore!"

Kikyo said softly: "Okay, chicken, you win."

"I was the one who won. My chick has traveled all over the world and has seen a lot of worlds." The chick started to fly randomly in the No. 2 tower with a platycodon on its back.

Duke took Kiria's hand and climbed to the top of the tower.

At this time, the sun was already shining, and the two hid in the shade of the corridor, listening to Duke talk about what he had seen and heard in the Holy City of Alfa.

Hearing Duke's appearance from the light and shadow, and the title of the master of light and shadow in the newspaper, Kiria would be very cooperative and exclaim or admire.

Stimulate Duke to secrete more dopamine.

"I'm in the Holy City of Arcana, and the ones I talk to the most are not the Arcane Masters, but the shell wise man, the tower spirit of the Arcane Tower."

"Shell wise?"

"Yeah, just like the title given to it by the arcane masters, the wise man, it is indeed a wise man who studies heaven and man. The entire arcane tower stores countless knowledge about spiritual mysteries. For this knowledge, the wise man is almost omniscient."

Duke said with emotion: "However, the wise man is very humble, or he doesn't think he is a wise man. For it, wisdom is more like the imprint of time imposed on it."

"Yeah, the ancient spirits may not have our human thoughts. Grandpa Tietou is an example. What he is thinking about is going back to the ancient times." Kylia also fell into emotion, "Grandpa Tietou has no memory of this era. .”

pity.

The ancient spirit is immortal, even if he wants to commit suicide, he cannot do it.

"So, eternal life may not be a reward." Duke said, raising his hand and hooking the clean chin of the beautiful woman beside him, "Happiness is happiness in time."

Said, bowed his head and kissed.

...

The next day was Duke's birthday.

Although he doesn't like birthdays - it's not his own birthday, but the birthday of his predecessor, so he doesn't like it.

Unable to hold back Sanfis, Joanna Lynx and others, they contacted him early in the morning and wanted to hold a celebration ceremony for him.

Duke deliberately refused.

But seeing Joanna and the others, when they asked themselves, their tone already contained caution, as if he was afraid that he would refuse to celebrate his birthday with his friends because of his status promotion. He was too embarrassed to refuse, so he could only agree to hold a birthday ceremony.

After receiving the exact answer from Duke, Sanfis immediately took care of everything and planned to hold a lively birthday for Duke.

"It's in Tower No. 2. Old acquaintances are celebrating together, and no one else is invited." Duke interrupted hastily, "Sanfis, you go to invite colleagues from Penrose Master Tower, and by the way, ask if Mentor Penrose would like to Come; Joanna, just call your brother and the others up."

"Okay, leave it to us!" Sanfis patted his chest, "Let's go, Joanna, let's act together."

"No, let's split up." Joanna pushed Sanfis, because of Duke, she and Sanfis also became friends.

But never give Sanfis any unreasonable thoughts.

"All right."

Sanfis looked at Joanna's resolute back, feeling lost in his heart, and looked at Kiria who was flirting with Duke over there, and his heart ached even more.

There is a huge gap between people.

Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his mentality and took the shuttle straight to Penrose Master Tower.

He quickly contacted Orianna and other former colleagues, and made an appointment to attend Duke's birthday party tomorrow. Among the two supervisors, Vikas also agreed to participate. Only Leadman refused because he was too busy with research.

then.

Sanfis asked again and learned that Penrose's mentor was in the tower at this time, so he knocked on the door of Penrose's office.

"Come in."

"Mentor, I, Sanfis, are back."

Penrose, who was writing the document, didn't look up, and asked calmly, "What are you doing when you come back, card making is not suitable for you."

Shan Fei suddenly lost his face: "Teacher, I have already gone to Scott's Mage Tower, so you don't want to attack me again."

"Speaking a fact is called a blow?" Penrose raised his head and asked with a straight face.

"Uh...you hit me because what you said was true."

"Stop talking nonsense, what can I do for you?"

"It's like this, Duke Sage's birthday is tomorrow." Sanfiste deliberately bit the word "sage" heavily, "I invite you to the birthday party."

"Duke...the sage." Penrose repeated Sanfis' address.

Suddenly, there was an unbelievable feeling. Once upon a time, Duke was just his elementary school students. Since he built the mage tower, he has not brought fifty such students, but has also taught thirty.

In a blink of an eye.

The former student has already been awarded the title of Erudite Sage, and has become a big man with a higher status than him.

"Fortunately, I was still worried. Duke surpassed me in the field of card making, and encouraged him to be distracted in other fields... How can he be distracted and become a erudite sage?"

Penrose's unstoppable doubts and emotions.

There is really an illusion like a world away.

"Mentor, mentor?" Sanfis saw Penrose lost in thought, and couldn't help waving his hand, "Are you going to participate or not?"

This brought Penrose back from his trance to reality.

Not knowing what he was thinking, Penrose nodded slowly: "Then let's participate. By the way, who are the participants?"

"Not many people, basically colleagues from the Mage Tower, as well as Joanna, Kylia and the others." Sanfis replied.

"Well, I'll go over and chat with Suktara."
