Studying Science in the Alternate World

"We believe that it is humans who endow plants with anthropomorphic energies of natural forces, which prompt plants to give birth to elves."

In the Spirit Pet Alliance, the 2nd Ring Spirit Plant Envoy on duty today is Mendez Kingfisher.

He is also a 2nd Ring Arcane Mage.

He contracted an elf named "Rainbow", and Rainbow was born from a 2-ring elf spirit plant - rice grain. And this rice paddy grows naturally in the paddy paddy field cultivated by the Kingfisher family for many years, and has not been specially selected.

At this moment, Mendes is talking to Duke: "Lingzhi envoys and farmers are working uninterruptedly in the fields, and the natural power of Lingzhi absorbs various thoughts and ideas in human minds, and is then absorbed by the power of nature. Concentrated in the spiritual plant."

He is also a scholar of spiritual planting, which is precisely his specialty: "Over time, elves are bred and born in spiritual plants."

talking.

Mendes asked his assistant to deliver a carefully packaged book and handed it to Duke: "Sage Duke, you have profound knowledge in the field of card making and erudition, and I believe you have a deep understanding in other fields. Please appreciate the Lingzhi papers that have been published so far."

"Okay, I'll find time to read."

Duke took the book and handed it to his little assistant, Mu Lali.

Continue to discuss the content related to elves: "I actually agree with you. The elf I contracted was raised by crypt army ants. It can communicate with ants indiscriminately. Obviously, this is related to life. All the skills that come with it.”

"Tsk tsk, is it an elf raised by ants?" Mendes glanced at the chick lying on the table, and exclaimed, "This is really rare, but judging from its ability to communicate with ants, it is exactly as I said, It is the ant's thinking that endows its noumenon with anthropomorphic energy."

Plants and animals.

These are two completely different life systems.

But in the wild world, spirituality has become a bridge between the two.

The power of nature is also a kind of spirituality. After absorbing enough animal thinking and combining it with spiritual plants, strange life forms such as elves are born.

subsequently.

Duke asked about a new topic: "Mendez, do you think there are any restrictions on the evolution from a small elf to a big elf?"

"This... To be honest, I'm just a 2-ring elf envoy. I've contracted Rainbow for nearly forty years, and I haven't figured out how to evolve Rainbow." It was a yellow caterpillar, staring at the chicken curiously.

It is the Pixie Rainbow of the Mendes Pact.

Mendes shook his head and continued: "And, as far as I know, the types of elves are mainly divided into two categories. The elves bred from flowers and fruits, usually like rainbows, are called butterfly elves; The elves conceived in it are usually like chickens, called frog elves."

The butterfly elf is in the stage of the 2nd-ring elf, which is in the form of a caterpillar. When it evolves to the stage of the 3rd-ring big elf, it will become a butterfly.

The frog elf is in the stage of the 2nd-ring elf, in the form of a small tadpole, and evolves to the stage of the 3rd-ring big elf, and then develops into a frog form.

"So in the Spiritual Pet Alliance, has anyone's little elf evolved into a big elf?" Duke said, pointing to the top of his head, "For example, who contracted the big elf bred by the mangrove king?"

"You actually know that the Red Tree King gave birth to elves."

Mendes sighed in admiration: "The first contractor of the Red Tree King Great Elf is the founder of the Spiritual Pet Alliance, the 7-ring morning star arcane instructor Sarao Hongshu. However, Lord Sarao is already a thousand years ago. According to legend, the contractor of the Red Tree King Great Elf is the descendant of Master Sarao, Sarajevo Red Tree."

Spirits are forever.

One will last forever.

The lifespan of the elves is related to the spirit plants. The immortal spirits of the spirit plants will last forever, and the withered spirits of the spirit plants will gradually lose their vitality.

"Sarajevo Mangrove?" Duke had never heard of this name.

Mendes explained: "He is a 3-ring arcanist, a 3-ring great elf envoy, and one of the guards of our Spirit Pet Alliance. He has just stepped down as the head of duty and currently lives in the Mangrove Mage Tower on the outskirts of Mangrove City. , is one of the three ring 3 great elf envoys of our Spirit Pet Alliance."

"I would like to invite Your Excellency Sarajevo to come over, but I don't know how to contact you?"

"Then I will send someone to inform Your Excellency Sarajevo."

"Trouble."

About an hour later, Sarajevo Hongshu rushed to the headquarters of the Spiritual Pet Alliance.

The ancestor of the Hongshu family was born with a 7-ring morning star arcane instructor, but unfortunately it is dying day by day, and Sarajevo, who is at the 3-ring level, has become the strongest in the family.

Facing Duke’s question about how to transform the little elf into a big elf, Sarajevo shook his head repeatedly: “Many people ask me this question, but unfortunately, I can’t answer it. The ancestor first contracted with the mangrove king of the third ring, and then discovered that the mangrove king gave birth to the Great Spirit."

He smiled wryly: "So, the big elf Hongbao is a born big elf, not an evolution from a little elf."

"So that's it." Duke was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it, he just asked, "I wonder if I can meet the great elf Hongbao?"

"Okay." Sarajevo patted his stomach.

Immediately, a butterfly the size of a washbasin slowly condensed into a fiery red figure, its whole body was like a piece of burning jade, leaving flame-like trails between its flights.

"Hongbao, I have seen Master Duke Sage." Sarajevo said.

Hongbao, the big butterfly elf, looked at Duke with the compound eyes on her head, and spoke slowly, with a voice like a little girl: "Hello, Mr. Sage Duke."

"Hello, Hongbao."

"Rainbow, we meet again, um, is this little tadpole a new elf?" Hong Bao was obviously familiar with the Spirit Pet Alliance.

Hearing this, the little chicken stared and said, "Who is the little tadpole? I'm the little chicken! Do you understand the little chicken? Blind your dog's eyes and see if I'm a little tadpole!"

Duke smiled awkwardly: "It's my contract elf chick. He hasn't received a good education since he was a child, and his language is a bit vulgar."

"It's cute, isn't it." Hong Bao is worthy of being a great elf who has lived for thousands of years. Although her voice is crisp, her tone is much more mature.

After getting to know each other.

Duke chatted with Sarajevo and Mendes for a while, but unfortunately there is no exact method for the evolution from the elf to the big elf.

Even the other two 3-ring Great Elf Envoys are also Great Elf inherited from the family.

"It can only be said that everything is guided by spirituality, Mr. Sage Duke, you are loved by spirituality. Perhaps, your chick will evolve into a great elf sooner or later." Mendes concluded in this way.

But it was always a bit strange to hear these words in Duke's ears.

"What is my chick? It's my contract elf chick!" Duke complained in his heart. Fortunately, the chick and chick in Tawen do not have any related attributes.

finally.

Mendes and Sarajevo Redwood warmly invited Duke to join the Spirit Pet Alliance.

All monks who have contracted elves, whether they are arcane masters or not, can join the Spirit Pet Alliance to exchange and share their experience in raising elves.

"Okay, count me in." There's no need for Duke to refuse, just a name.

So far, he has not only gained fame in the arcane mage circle, but also successfully joined the old cavalry circle and the spiritual pet alliance in this trip to the arcane holy city.

Although useless.

At least he got acquainted with each other and gained a lot of contacts.

so and so.

Duke spent two weeks in the Holy City of Arcana in a short time, and gained a lot of knowledge of spiritual arcana in spiritual sea, blood sea, and air sea practice.

"What time is it today?" Duke woke up from the Celsus Crystal Palace.

"February 30th, sir." Mu Lali had already put on her makeup, and responded with a wink, "At ten o'clock this morning, you made an appointment with Master Keyston on the battleship Bibo." Discuss the affairs of Heijiaohe land."

In the calendar of the Seven Towers Federation, February also has thirty days.

"Okay, I remembered." Duke just asked casually, and there was a daily schedule on the vindictive holographic screen.

He will not forget any to-do items that he needs to remember.

"Go and inform Mentor Penrose that we will set off for Blue Whale Bay on time at 9:15, and board the Bibo to welcome Lord Keyston's arrival." Duke ordered.

Although Shenjiao City is thousands of miles away from the Holy City of Austrian Law.

But with the existence of the Bibo, Keyston can cross the barrier of time and space, descend on the Bibo, and communicate with Duke.

certainly.

This kind of avatar has serious restrictions. Each great arcane mage can only create one ring of projection, and cannot duplicate the ring of projection infinitely.

So basically, the great Arcane mages install the ring of projection on their warships and airships, so that they can quickly rush to the battlefield, or clone themselves to other regions. On the Blue Wave, there is a projection ring installed by Keyston Rage.

Keyston had visited several times before and chatted with Duke about the situation on both sides.

At quarter past nine, Duke and Penrose boarded the shuttle, quickly flew to Blue Whale Bay City, arrived at the air station and boarded the battleship Bibo moored here.

"Lord Duke, Lord Penrose." The warship commanded the great knight, saluted and said hello.

These days, the crew of the battleship Bibo basically live on the battleship, except for going out to buy supplies, they basically don't get off the battleship.

"Thank you, everyone." Duke nodded.

Then he followed Penrose into the projection room at the bow of the ship.

The strange instrument of the Projection Ring is installed here.

Different from the arcane projection room in the tower, the projection ring in the projection room is unique, and only Keyston can descend, and can exert most of its combat power.

The arcane projection is improved based on the ring of projection technology. Although it can be projected by unlimited personnel, the projection clone has no combat effectiveness. Only the Ring of Projection can display the top-level combat power of a great arcane mage, and long-range combat is always invincible.

"Before you know it, it's almost March." Penrose sighed.

"Yeah, I've lived in the holy city of arcane arts for a long time, and I'm afraid I won't get used to it when I go back to Cuihai City. The atmosphere of spiritual arcane arts here is far stronger than that in Heijiaohe."

"You can definitely settle in the Holy City of Arcana. To be honest, this is the most suitable place for you." Penrose said, "The strong academic atmosphere and rich spiritual particles are of great help to your cultivation. Land is better than too much."

"Having said that, the water in the Holy City of Alpha is also deep." Duke looked out from the porthole, and he could see Whale Song Mirror Lake in the distance.

This lake looks as beautiful as emerald.

But no one can guarantee whether there is a sinking demon hiding under the lake.

It should be known that fallen demons are essentially spiritual slaves, and they like to hide near spiritual springs, and rely on absorbing spirituality to maintain their vitality.

As long as you don't cast arcane spells, even the arcane teacher can't lock them.

And only the top-level spiritual spring like Whale Song Mirror Lake, where spiritual particles are gushing out all the time, can the sinking demon absorb spirituality without being discovered. Ordinary spiritual springs, even the large springs where Shenjiao City and Cuihai City are located, will be discovered once there is a fallen demon absorbing spirituality.

So in theory, only the Arcane Holy City and the central city of the Twelve Domains have living fallen demons hiding in them.

Duke didn't want to be their prey until he had no power to protect himself.

It is said.

The Fallen Demon likes to prey on human beings the most, especially those who are favored by spirituality, and Duke is precisely favored by spirituality the most, but he is also weak.

"Fortunately, Lord Thursas gave me a moonlight cage." Duke couldn't help touching the moonlight cage hanging on his chest. It was a small jade mirror, which brought him a full sense of security. It is even greater than the sense of security brought by the Sand Eagle.

The main reason is that Shaying only has the second ring, and like him, he needs to grow up.

When I come back to my senses.

The huge instrument in the projection room, the ring-shaped device has been rotated rapidly, and then a figure is projected from the instrument.

It was the phantom of Keyston Raging Wave.

It's not as solid as in the arcane projection, but the phantom of the avatar of the ring of projection is all composed of psionic energy, and its power is unparalleled.

"Duke, Penrose, have you had breakfast yet?" Kiston's clone phantom sat directly opposite the two of them. In the phantom, one could see the surge of spiritual energy, as if it was about to escape—even if the projection The ring can only replicate half of the body's strength, and it is strong enough.

"My lord!" Penrose hurriedly got up and said hello.

Duke also said hello.

The duration of the avatar phantom is limited, so I need to make a long story short. Duke first asked: "My lord, the Giant of Light has already built a production line for the branding device of the spirit card, and besides, the joint card shop of Runwu City hasn't sent anyone to discuss the matter of buying shares?"

"The giant of light has already built a production line. After the product came out, I tried it. The technology of the branded ring is really amazing."

Keyston first sighed with emotion, and then snorted: "The people of the United Card Shop have not moved for a long time, and it seems that they still can't see clearly the impact of the branding ring on the card making industry... Lord Loren Sangovi, It shouldn’t be so contemptuous, but he doesn’t have many shares in United Card Store.”

As the Guardian of the Wind Breath Domain, Loren Sangovi has invested in United Card Store, but not the most shares.

The joint card store has a history of thousands of years, and the real majority of the shares are in the hands of many veteran nobles.

"It doesn't matter, there will always be someone who will choose to cooperate with me, not just the joint card shop." Duke looked very indifferent.

But there is some resentment in my heart.

The arcane masters of Runwu City didn't seem to really take him seriously.

If he really put him in his eyes, how dare Delari Kaishu jump out and compete with him for the twin springs. The Kaishu family is just relying on the chief director of the Element Tower, Decker Kaishu, the 6-ring sky arcanist.

"Could it be that my future, in the eyes of these veteran nobles, can't even reach the 6-ring Sky Arcane Master?" This made Duke feel a fire in his heart.

Thoughts interrupted slightly.

Keyston already said another thing: "Spirituality, I still take care of my Heijiaohe land. Just two days ago, the Faling Pagoda struck the bell twice in a row."

"Promoted two arcanists in a row?" Penrose was surprised.

"Not only that." Kiston laughed, "It's still a pair of twins, brother Brock and sister Ibuprofen, who came from a worker's family and didn't even join the Snow Eagle family as a vassal. He was promoted to an arcanist at the age of twenty-two."

Duke hasn't spoken yet.

But Penrose commented with a natural expression: "Are you promoted at the age of 22? The talents of the twin siblings are average."

"Normal?" Keyston glanced at Penrose in surprise.

Then he glanced at Duke again, suddenly realized, and snorted: "You have high eyesight, you can't even see a twenty-two-year-old arcanist. But in this world, there are so many sixteen-year-olds like Duke." A genius who was promoted to an arcanist at the age of 10."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Even my little Ji Liya, who was promoted to an arcane mage at the age of eighteen, can also be called the sweet girl of the sky."

Penrose smiled awkwardly, unable to answer.

Having been with Duke for a long time, he almost forgot that Duke's talent is hard to find in the world, and there is no one else who can reach the height of Duke's talent.

after all.

Duke is the youngest 2-ring arcane mage, the youngest erudite sage and card maker in the history of the Seven Towers Federation, and the only one who has achieved three consecutive erudite towers of light.

"If they hadn't joined the Snow Eagle family as a vassal, they would have been promoted to Arcane Mage based on their own talent, these brothers and sisters would really be geniuses." Duke admired sincerely.

Others may think he is a genius.

But only he himself knows that a large part of his current achievements must be attributed to Xiao Yi, and he is guilty!

Brothers and sisters Brock and Buprofen, without relying on external force or support, can both be promoted to Arcane Mage at the age of twenty-two. This is the appearance of genius.

"What is the most interesting thing, do you know?" Keystone suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

"What?"

"I heard from Orucci that the brothers and sisters have already chosen the mage tower for further training, and there is only one option, which is your Duke Sage mage tower." Kiston said with a smile, "In a blink of an eye, you also want to The one who takes the students."

"Choose my mage tower?" Duke was also a little excited.

As Keyston said, he is also the one who will lead the students.

Although it has only been less than seven years since he was promoted to an arcane master and formally entered the spiritual arcane hall, his achievements are better than many arcane masters in a hundred years, and he is qualified enough to lead students.

"Okay." Keyston stood up, "We've talked about everything we need to talk about, Duke, isn't it time for the Stars Tower to activate the will of the stars?"

"It should be soon."

"Well, then in advance, I wish you success in opening the will of the stars and gaining valuable enlightenment." Keyston's figure began to dim, "If there are no accidents, I will descend on the Bibo again at this time in five days."

"Okay, Master Keyston, go slowly." Duke and Penrose stood up, watching Keyston's figure disappear completely.

Penrose felt a little emotional: "Time flies, and you have to take care of students."

Duke smiled: "I still remember when I chose your mage tower, mentor Penrose, to study. Many people laughed at me and thought that I might not be able to learn a lot in the field of card making. Now that I have the title of card making sage, it can be regarded as Something has been explained."

"I am one of those idiots who think that you may not have learned well." Penrose shook his head ashamedly.

"They're all arcane masters, who can convince anyone? You have to work hard little by little to impress others." Duke waved his hand, "Let's go, Mentor Penrose, I'm going to the Offal Tower to read a book. , are you together or somewhere else?"

"Let's go together. I also happened to be studying in the Holy City of Arcane. Recently, the Holy City of Arcane held a seminar on the Ring of Branding. I participated in a few seminars and felt that I gained a lot."

It has only been two weeks since the announcement of the Ring of Branding by Duke.

However, it has become a must-learn skill for all card creators, contract masters, puppet masters, and formation masters. After the papers written by Duke were delivered to the various magic towers, countless arcanists browsed and recorded them, forming an academic craze.

Around the Ring of Branding, a storm that has swept across many fields has been brewing.

but.

Duke, deep in the eye of the storm, was not disturbed by the outside world. Perhaps it was because he wanted to activate the will of the stars, so the arcane instructors deliberately blocked unnecessary troubles for him, so that he could have free time and read books freely in the tower of Alpha.

this day.

In front of Duke's desk, who was reading a book, a colorful jellyfish in the shape of a pancake swam over and made a gentle voice: "Duke, the stars have brought the decree, and the date for you to activate the will of the stars has been confirmed, and the people from the Stars Tower are at the door." Waiting for you outside."

"Really." Duke closed the book, "Please put the book back, wise man, I'm going out first."

"Go, go and witness the revelation conveyed by the will of the stars."

Saying goodbye to the wise man, Duke walked out of the library door, and saw three arcane mages waiting outside the door. The leader was wearing a purple arcane robe, which was the symbol of a great arcane mage.

"Sage Duke, Situ Wen, the director of the lower Stars Tower, is here to inform you that the date for activating the will of the stars has been set. The chief director invites you to discuss the detailed rules."

"Okay, Director Situ Wen."

Duke followed Situ Wen and the others to the Tower of Stars.

Then I met Muse, the chief director of the Tower of Stars, and Muse said gently: "The will of the stars will be opened tomorrow, at 9 o'clock in the evening on March 6th, the hunter held a sharp knife and pierced the belly of the whale. .”

The hunter refers to the constellation Hunter, and the whale refers to the constellation Cetus. They are the divisions of the stars in the sky by the astrologers of the Seven Towers Federation.

"What do I need to prepare?"

"Replenish your energy and adjust your diet. From today onwards, you will live in the prayer room of the Tower of Stars and read the relics of astrology silently. When the time comes, I will personally take you to the Star Tower and initiate the opening ceremony of the Will of the Stars for you .”

"That's great." Duke nodded in agreement.

Then a staff member took him to take a shower and change clothes, and then had a simple dinner with ten dishes.

Go to the bathroom, brush your teeth and wash your face.

After entering the prayer room, he sat cross-legged, and the originally bare walls around him quickly disappeared into the darkness as night fell.

Only a little bit of starlight remained, suspended in the entire prayer room.

Then form one star map after another, and each star map has Tavin's introduction, explaining to Duke how many constellations are in it.

And the movement trajectory of each star in the constellation has a profound impact.

to be honest.

Duke was confused and didn't quite understand why these stars that should be in different light-years away should be classified as the same constellation, and why the orbits of these stars would have an impact on the wild world .

"However, thinking about how astrology has been developed for thousands of years, there should be some reason for it...Xiao Yi, record these star maps one by one for me!"

"Good master, the recording mode has been turned on for you."

Xiao Yi tried hard to record, while Duke carefully distinguished, trying to find constellations similar to those on the earth from thousands of constellation divisions.

pity.

not at all.

None of the Orion, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, and Cygnus constellations that are still clear in his memory are similar.

What Big Dipper, Cowherd and Vega is nowhere to be found.

"It is possible that I am still in the Milky Way, but not in the Orion arm where the solar system is located. The position has changed, and the constellations in the sky will naturally change accordingly."

Duke looked at the star map with twinkling stars, his thoughts drifted far away.

unconsciously.

It's nine o'clock.

The door of the prayer room opened, the star map surrounding Duke quickly disappeared, and the bare walls reappeared.

"Duke, come with me." The chief director of Muse, wearing a red arcane robe, said gently with a cane in his hand.

"yes."

Duke followed Muse, entered a series of spiritual ladders, and quickly reached the top of the Tower of Stars. The top of the tower was not a spire, but a flat top.

The circular flat roof is about 100 square meters.

There are no guardrails, only densely carved lines on the flat roof, like a ring structure nested within a ring.

"This is the star-seeing platform of the Star Tower. It is a product of the combination of formation and astrology. It is a quasi-arcane weapon. After thousands of years of exploration, the sages have mastered the awakening time of the stars' will, so they created the star-seeing platform. Unlock the will of the stars."

The Muse stands on the edge of the star-seeing platform, outside the lines of all the ring systems, and if he takes a step back, he will fall down the tower.

But for the 7-ring Morning Star Arcane Master, let alone falling from a high tower, even falling from space, it will be safe and sound-the 6-ring Sky Arcane Master can fly in the sky, let alone the 7-ring, 8-ring arcane teacher.

"Tonight, the starlight... is really charming." Muse held her head up, her silver hair was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

Duke stood in the center of the star-seeing platform, raised his head like her, and looked at the starlight in the sky: "It's really beautiful."

"Then." Muse suddenly turned her head, holding her crutch upwards, "Go, and witness the enlightenment of the will of the stars!"

The crutch burst out with bright light, instantly arousing the lines engraved on the star-seeing platform. The lines lit up one after another, and the light emitted surrounded Duke until it drowned him.

Only then did Muse put down her crutches, and said lightly, as if she was talking to herself: "Go, go and listen to the teachings of the stars to us humble mortals... We came from primitive ignorance, the road is blue, it is the stars, it is spirituality. , guiding step by step..."

This time, it will be the same...
