Studying Science in the Alternate World
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.
Xiaoyi's computing power is often mobilized 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 construction of the wonder linkage between the elemental shield and the 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 over after Duke finished an experiment.
"Teacher, what did you say?"
"Duke Sage Mage Tower." Suktarah said straight to the point, "At the internal meeting of the United Tower, Lord Keystone criticized His Excellency Bernoulli by name, and determined that His Excellency Bernoulli colluded with foreign arcane masters and sacrificed the interests of Heijiaohe ...I also know about the arrival of the Kaishu family."
"So that's what you said." 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 to share a piece of the pie."
"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 very confident: "I am a erudite sage, and the Kaishu family will never dare to force me, and Keyston will not let me suffer. Now the key point is how to deal with Bernoulli... After several disputes, Bernoulli is obviously divorced from Germany, and he is determined to collude with foreign forces."
Suktara nodded and said: "That's true, alas, who can blame this. Bernoulli was wary of us and used him, but we repeatedly rejected Bernoulli. The two sides have formed an intractable bond. heart knot."
From the pioneering war in Cuihai Valley to the current urban construction plan of Cuihai City, it is difficult to tell whether it is right or wrong.
At first, the arcane mage of Shenjiao City rejected Bernoulli's entry very much. At the same time, Bernoulli also refused to show up, and wanted to use the arcane mage 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, and seek revenge.
One side wants to cooperate with the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon to stabilize its own power.
This created 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 no return. If the Jade Horseshoe Dragon cooperates, it may be difficult for the family to develop.
By the time the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon was killed, Bernoulli might have been completely eccentric.
The twin springs are just an opportunity to cause conflict.
"Teacher, you don't have to worry. It's not because spirituality is guiding this situation. Heijiaohe land can be divided into one place and two cities. It's already a great fortune. It can't be perfect in every aspect." Duke comforted, " Let it all come naturally."
In fact, 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 to practice and develop."
When he succeeds in cultivation, he doesn't need to do anything. Others will naturally spit out the robbed benefits.
Only arcane mages who can't see the future will be attracted by the small profits in front of them, and snatch food like hyenas.
"The Kaishu family, that's how it is. Dexter Kaishu is old and has no hope of being promoted to an arcane teacher, 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. Two-purpose preparation equipment.
I was 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."
"My lord 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 kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey. Show others!"
Of course, this still 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 three or five days of experimentation at home, Duke was invited to the Union Tower, and Irwin, who was squinted as soon as he entered the conference 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 for the urban construction plan of Cuihai City, and your first vote is about to begin." Erwin said cheerfully.
"Enlarged meeting?" Duke raised his brows, "The canonization of the title is about the canonization of His Excellency Bernoulli?"
"Yes, Master Keyston has announced 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, and then He chuckled, "Guess what knighthood was applied for for Bernoulli?"
Duke understood: "Baron?"
"Yes!" Erwin said more and more happily, "Bernoulli wanted to be named a Viscount before, but Mr. Keystone cut through the mess quickly, without giving him the slightest chance, and directly submitted to the United Tower to ask him to be a Baron , the name of the title has been drawn up, Baron Black Jade."
Bernoulli's descendant, who is about to integrate into the blood of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, will be awarded the title of Black Jade Baron, which is worthy of the name.
"Baron Black Jade, Lord Bernoulli may not be satisfied."
"If he is not satisfied, we can be 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, and I am so selfish. Arcane masters of this level are very rare."
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... In this kind of low-level enlarged meeting, basically we just cast a vote, and the decision-making plan has been discussed at the Stars Meeting. We can only deny it." Or support."
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 meeting of the stars.
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 over to inform Erwin and Duke to go to the meeting room.
In the conference room, Keyston Rage, Williams, and Stephen Maverick were already in place, plus Duke and Irwin, a total of five people.
As for Bernoulli, he did not get the right to vote in order to avoid suspicion because it was related to him.
Without waiting for a long time, a great arcane mage walked out of the arcane projection room of the United Tower and directly entered the meeting room.
He held several special contract papers in his hand.
"I am the Envoy Ravens of the Executive Office of the Enlarged Conference of the United Supreme Tower." Master Da'ao looked around the crowd and said calmly, "A total of forty-eight councilors attended this special meeting for the conferment of titles on the urban construction plan of Cuihai City, including black There are five councilors in the Jiaohe area, now count their names."
"Chief ruler of the United Towers, Keyston Rage."
"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, Irwin... 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 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 chattering words, and said seriously: "The ballots are specially made by contract sages based on the magic card information of each congressman. Once impersonated or altered to cheat, the power of the contract will be locked. So."
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 votes for 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 of Parliament can choose to support, oppose and 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 exceeds and reaches two-thirds of the votes, that is, there are thirty-two votes in support. can be passed."
The reading is over and the voting begins.
Duke had 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, and it seemed that there was a little bit of 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 result of the ballot will be announced tomorrow. Please be prepared then."
Then it turned into little stars and dissipated.
"How do you feel?" Williams quietly came to Duke. "It's the first time to participate in the enlarged meeting and vote to decide the major federal affairs. 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 can it be sacred? Competing for votes and What's the difference between fighting for power and profit?"
Williams squinted at Stephen, and didn't bother to respond.
With his hands behind his back, he left quietly.
Duke smiled and left.
On the next day, a staff member of the Union Tower came to the Suktara Mage Tower and informed him of the voting results of the 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 formally passed, and His Excellency Bernoulli was conferred the title of Black Jade Baron."
"Well, I see."
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 far worse than the Viscount.
"In addition, Lord 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 canonization ceremony was held on time two days later, in the noble hall of the Union Tower.
An Austrian teacher sent by the United Supreme Tower to act as the host of the canonization ceremony, personally awarded the Baron Bernoulli the guard of honor, 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 master of the arcane method, he just forced a blunt smile.
"I chose 'Black Jade' as the family name."
"Okay, Bernoulli Black Jade, I hope you and your family will abide by noble morality and etiquette, continue to work hard for the future of the Federation, and strive endlessly in the cause of expanding territory." The words on the scene scattered into rays of light and disappeared.
Keyston Raging Wave 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, everyone. 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 be in Cuihai again." The best hotel in Haishi, hold a supplementary banquet."
After finishing speaking, he ordered his followers 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.
Keyston 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, let him know , Cuihai City belongs to Heijiaohe land."
"In this way, I'm afraid that 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 he has the blood of the Yalong, he has to stay low." Keyston waved his hand indifferently, "Twin Springs Things are a little tricky.”
"My lord, what do you say?"
"The Kaishu family is just a vanguard army. Not only the big nobles in Runwu City have locked in Cuihai City, but also families of all sizes in several other cities want to take a share. This is why Bernoulli dared With the confidence to betray Heijiaohe's interests, 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, there is no shortage of these twin springs."
When Kiston heard this, he immediately stared: "You kid, you really know how to play football!"
"Hey, I'm going to be lazy if you are in charge of the overall situation, my lord." Naturally, Duke didn't really want to give up Twin Springs.
Just kick the ball back to Keyston.
"You kid is very slippery, but it's a good thing. Be careful. If you go to the Holy City of Alfa in the future, people won't worry about you being incompetent." Kiston laughed, "Waiting for approval Well, I've already communicated with the Shangewei family."
"The Shangewei family?"
"That's right, my Raging Wave family and Mrs. Loren Shangewei had some intersections and ties in the past. This time, I asked the Sangewei family to come forward and compete for the twin springs. When the Shangewei family wins the twin springs, then Transfer to you."
"It seems that you have spent a lot of favors in order to make an example of others." Duke said with emotion.
"Favours are for use, so can they still generate interest?" Kiston laughed, "Besides, when you grow up, you may not be the next Loren Sangovi, the younger brother of you and me." Wouldn't the favor between them be 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."
After a pause, Keyston said loudly: "You are a junior from the Heijiaohe land, and you are also a rare junior who has a climate. We old guys, no matter what, we have to protect you from the wind and rain for a while, and we must not let the young birds Learn to fly hungry."
Duke was moved.
That night, he asked Kylia out, and 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.
De Laili Kaishu withdrawn from the competition very well, and finally the Shankawei family got the approval.
A change of 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 transferred the mage tower to Duke under the name.
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 , I will do my best to 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.
The 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'm relieved."
"The group will carefully examine the geographical situation of Lingya Mountain and the distribution of spiritual channels in the spring in the early stage, and then come up with the blueprint 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 asked Duke to stay, but Duke couldn't refuse, so he could only stay in the Flamingo Manor in Flamingo Town and have a meal.
The arcane masters of the Flamingo family took turns to toast him.
They 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 was sober, the flamingo family served 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...
The 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 the century.
"No, no, no, I can't stay here tonight. I still have important experiments to prepare when I go back, so I will take my leave!"
Even though the daughters of the flamingo family kept them with their watery eyes, Duke still resolutely said goodbye 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, but 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 him said with emotion: "Snake head town and Raging fire town are only more than 20 kilometers away. Such an outstanding young arcan mage was born, but he was not able to be won by the family, but was attracted by the humble black snake family. win over."
"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 paid my money in advance, Tsk tsk, a pair of sisters were sent directly to Duke as assistants."
"Speaking of sisters, 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 the wind."
"Uncle is right. I heard that the sage Duke and the daughter of the sky from the Nutao family are very close. I'm afraid they will pay attention to the influence in a short time." Another younger arcanist said, "Maybe you can Hold off for two years before making plans.”
Karius clicked his tongue twice, and then said seriously: "Some unorthodox methods can only be used as a stepping stone. This time, the sage Duke entrusted the construction of the Mage Tower to the Flamingo Construction Group. It must be completed to perfection. I would rather earn less. To the satisfaction of the 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 warned again, "Cuihai City is completed, and the surrounding Mage Towers have not yet been determined, but as long as we build Duke Sage Mage Tower, can always win several projects of Mage Tower!"
