Studying Science in the Alternate World

  Chapter 269 Duke's Former Residence

   Woohoo!

  The Warship Overlook sounded its whistle, dragged a long beep, and slowly berthed at the designated berth of Cuihai City Air Station.

   I haven't seen it for several months. Cuihai City has completed the main buildings and roads of the city, and only the details are still being renovated.

  The former location of the spiritual spring, the small triangular lake, has been completely covered.

  United Tower, Elemental Tower, Erudite Tower, Faling Tower, Observation Tower, five towers representing the city's power mechanics rose from the ground and went straight to the sky.

The original 3rd ring tree king - the location of the shade banyan forest, has already built a community, especially near the main tree king, built several single-family villas, and even a small mage tower, which can be used by arcane mages to settle in this.

   "Thank you for your service along the way. I just rested in Cuihai City for two days, and I will pay for all expenses."

  Before leaving the Battleship Overlook, Duke expressed his gratitude to the crew members and guards of the battleship.

   There is no need to refuse this kind of thing. The crew members, while singing praises to Duke, happily accepted it and prepared to indulge in two days in this foreign land.

  The vertical ladder was lowered, and Duke slowly stepped off the battleship.

On the waiting platform of the brand-new flight station, there was already a banner holding high. The banner said "Warmly welcome the sage card maker, the erudite sage Duke, and return with honor." Obviously, he had known in advance that the Overwatch battleship would be held today. Arrive at the flight station.

   "Huh." Duke took a deep breath, "It's still the air of my hometown, which makes people feel more at ease."

"grown ups!"

  A team of guard knights, surrounded by a group of people, came straight over.

  Duke smiled slightly. He had already seen his personal knight, his two assistants, his teacher Suktara, and his good friend Sanfis.

   "I'm back, teacher." Duke strode forward.

  Suktara wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and put on a warm smile: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

"grown ups!"

"gentlemen!"

   Vivian and the others ran over, but stopped in time.

"I'm all right, I'm laughing, don't be so hypocritical." Duke patted Vivienne's hand, then touched the heads of Mu Lali and Mu Lashan, and then turned around, "And you, Shan Fez, aren't you in Shenjiao City, why did you come to Cuihai City?"

Sanfis wore a decent Austrian robe and grew two mustaches. Hearing this, he responded calmly: "You forgot, I have become the director of Cuihai City Hospital, and I am busy with the preparations for the hospital here. , I will borrow and live in your sage mage tower."

   "Okay." Duke opened his arms.

Only then did Sanfis have the nerve to come forward, hugged Duke, and then whispered in Duke's ear: "Your lovers, I really miss you. I just left you for a few days and cried like this... Tsk tsk , or you are amazing!"

  He didn't know what happened to Duke.

   The incident of the Sinking Devil attacking the Bibo has been blocked by the top officials of the Seven Towers Federation, and only a few people on the Heijiaohe land know about it.

  This minority obviously does not include Sanfis.

"Haha, I treat people with sincerity, and people will naturally treat me with sincerity." Duke said casually, then turned to Suktara and said, "Teacher, let's go back first. It's been a while since I haven't been back for four months. Miss my mage tower."

   "Don't worry, everything in the Mage Tower is operating normally, and it is operating according to the rules and regulations you made." Suktara smiled, his eyes were slightly red.

  She was one of the few people who knew about Duke's accident. After all, Duke's entourage needed her to comfort and restrain them to ensure that the news would not be leaked.

   When she learned that Duke was killed, she really felt like a thunderbolt.

   It is rare to find an heir who can entrust his lifelong dream, and even the entire estate has been handed over to Duke, but after learning such news, he has to cheer up and appease the situation, which shows the difficulty.

   Fortunately, hope finally came.

  Duke turned the corner and came back with her lifelong dream back.

  Before boarding the shuttle, Duke left behind a few followers who were in charge of arranging the crew members and escorts of the Overwatch battleship.

   Then went to the Duke Sage Mage Tower in Lingya Mountain.

   From a long distance, you can see the soaring Mage Tower. At the bottom of the tower, the castle area has also begun to take shape.

   Waited up the mountain and arrived at the gate of the mage tower, and there was another group of people waiting at the gate.

   "Ho Ho!" Xiaodou saw it, pointed at the tall figure in the crowd, and yelled, it was Levin, and besides Duke, he had the best relationship with Levin.

   In the earliest days, Duke was busy going out, and it was Levine who took care of him.

  Duke saw two young men and women wearing arcane robes in front of the crowd, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Teacher, who are these two?"

Suktara said with a smile: "Come on, let me introduce you. These two children are the newly promoted arcane mages in Heijiaohe this year, brothers and sisters Brock and Buprofen. They chose to come to your Duke sage mage Ta Jinxiu, the teacher temporarily agreed on your behalf."

   Brothers and sisters Bullock and Buprofen are all thin and ordinary-looking.

  At this moment, he stepped forward a little awkwardly to salute: "I have seen Lord Sage Duke."

  They were born in a poor family and have never seen much of the world, so they are much worse in communication, but they look very calm.

  Speaking of which, the two siblings are about the same age as Duke, and both are 22 years old.

"Hello, I'm very surprised that you chose my mage tower for further study, but since you're here, you should study here seriously." Duke instructed in a very mentor-like manner. Students are naturally fine.

   "Yes, Master Tutor!" The siblings heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that Duke had agreed to accept them.

Following Duke, Sanfis muttered to the side again: "Actually, you are not surprised at all, right, if the newly promoted arcanists in the entire Heijiaohe land do not choose your mage tower for further training, then they are basically out of their minds." question."

   "I think if you work hard and develop more in medicine, there may not be no possibility of being promoted to the third ring. In the future, you will also be able to build a mage tower and accept students."

   "Eh...it's too far away." Sanfis didn't dare to think.

  He used to be pretentious, but unfortunately after being hit a few times, he realized that his talent for spiritual arcana was poor, so he chose the medical profession of healing mortals in the field of life.

   "Master Duke, you are back." Leo Weiss, the 2nd-ring arcane mage, was also among the welcoming crowd. He was in charge of the daily management of the mage tower.

  It's like the Vikas guide in Penrose Mage Tower.

  However, Leo Weiss' position is not an assistant, but an associate professor after Duke's restructuring.

  Afterwards, Terrence, Siris and other 1st ring arcane masters also greeted Duke one after another. They are all assistant professors.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems that everyone has adapted to the work in Duke's Sage Mage Tower." Duke looked around the crowd as he walked towards the spiritual staircase. "So, all professors, associate professors, assistant professors, researchers, and fellows Students, all go to the big conference room for a meeting."

   Inside the Mage Tower, there are still many places under renovation.

   However, the main part has been completed and can function normally.

  A moment later, in the large conference room on the ninety-ninth floor, all the arcanists sat around the conference round table. Others who have positions but are not arcane masters sit in the long table area behind the conference table. All looked up to Duke.

   "Cough cough." Duke coughed lightly, "Before the meeting, let me introduce to you, the chief steward of Duke Sage's Mage Tower - Pheasant Feather."

  Snap your fingers.

Immediately above the conference table, a trilobite spirit body the size of a washbasin condensed out, and whispered to the surroundings: "Nice to meet you all, I am the Tower Spirit of Duke Sage's Mage Tower, you can call me Pheasant Feather, Always at your service.”

   "Pheasant Feather is the tower spirit of the mage tower and the castle. Except for the matters that require my review and signature, all other matters can be reported to Pheasant Feather."

  The appearance of Pheasant Feather surprised everyone for a while.

  But soon everyone accepted the existence of Pheasant Feather. After all, Duke is well-known throughout the Seven Towers Federation, and it is normal to have one or two ancient spirits.

"Then I have to reiterate that the Duke Sage Master Tower is a new type of mage tower. This new type does not mean that it is newly built, but its rules and regulations are brand new. Here, the research, study and application of spiritual arcana , is integrated, I hope everyone can understand.”

After a pause, Duke said with a smile: "Of course, I know that everyone has already had relevant experience in the Suktara Mage Tower, so I hope that in the next few years, we can work together to bring this Mage Tower to life." The tower has become a new holy place for spiritual mysteries!"

   Hurrah, applause.

  Whether people believe in Duke's big pie or not, at least everyone's emotions are still mobilized by Duke at this moment.

  I also want to believe that under the leadership of Duke, a genius with the title of double sage, he has made great achievements.

  The meeting was not long, and the content was not much. Apart from Duke explaining his future plans for Duke's Mage Tower, it was mainly through the appointment and dismissal of some personnel.

  Service appointments are disregarded.

  Academic positions are mainly divided into two categories: arcane masters and non-arcane masters, among which arcane masters are defined by three-level teacher titles.

  respectively, professor, associate professor, assistant professor.

  Academic staff of non-arcane mages, such as spiritual apprentices, great knights, spiritual plant envoys, and ordinary researchers, have a fourth-level researcher title.

   are, respectively, special researcher, senior researcher, intermediate researcher, and junior researcher.

  Among them, the newly promoted Arcane Master who came to study did not have the title of teacher, but was directly designated as a senior researcher.

  Among the researchers of non-arcane mages, there are outstanding contributors who can be promoted to special researcher, which is equal to the title of assistant professor.

   In other words, the Duke Sage Mage Tower has a total of six professional titles—the first-class professor, the second-class associate professor, the third-class assistant professor and special researcher, the fourth-class senior researcher, the fifth-class intermediate researcher, and the sixth-class junior researcher.

  In this world where arcane mages rule everything, the Duke Sage mage tower is not exempt, and non-arcane mages can only climb to the third rank.

  First-class and second-class professional titles can only be obtained by arcanists.

  During the process of listening, Sanfis suddenly became interested. He also wanted to join the Duke Sage Mage Tower, and let Cuihai City Hospital enter the laboratory to jointly develop some new medical technologies and drugs with Duke Sage Mage Tower.

  Finally, Sanfis was awarded the title of assistant professor.

"Sanfis, this society will eventually develop in an all-round way, and ordinary people can do a lot, so you really choose medicine and study hard in this industry." After the meeting, Duke deliberately stayed with Sanfis to give some pointers, "I I think that if you study medicine well, you may not be able to shine in spiritual mysteries.”

   "Yes!" Sanfis nodded heavily, "Thank you, Lord Sage Duke, for your teaching!"

   "It's so formal." Duke patted him on the shoulder.

  Shan Feisi smiled: "Should be, should be, you are now a big shot with the title of double sage, and you are also a 2-ring arcanist, I should have called you an adult."

"wrong."

"Um?"

   "I'm not a 2-ring arcane mage." Duke smiled lightly, "I'm a 3-ring arcane mage, but I haven't had time to register at the Faling Pagoda."

   "Ah!" Sanfis widened his eyes, "No way!"

  He knew very little about spiritual feedback, so he couldn't understand why Duke's spiritual path was so smooth and fast.

"I'm going to the Faling Pagoda. Well, I'm going to register at the Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City." When Duke was in the Holy City of Alfa, he didn't show up in public, so he didn't go to the Faling Pagoda to register. Now he returns to his hometown of Cuihai City, just here to complete the record-breaking.

  But he suddenly remembered something: "Have the chiefs of the five towers of Cuihai City been elected?"

"Currently there are only agents, Mr. Erwin acting as the chief executive of the United Tower, Mr. Jovis Lynx acting as the chief director of the Element Tower, Mr. Boyton Wind Snake acting as the chief director of the Learning Tower, Mr. Bernoulli acting as the chief director of the Observation Tower, Peng Mentor Ross acts as the chief director of Faling Pagoda."

   "Boyton Wind Serpent, who is this?" Duke asked.

"Lord Boyton used to be the director of the Boxue Tower in Runwu City, the Arcane Master of the 4th ring, and his family has migrated to Cuihai City, and settled in Cuihai City." Shan Feisi replied, "At present, there are three major families migrating here. , in addition to the wind snake family, there are also the armor mouse family and the warthog family."

  Kaishu family Duke knows that Delari Kaishu relied on his father as a 6th-ring sky arcanist and his elder brother as a 4th-ring earth arcanist. He also competed with Duke for the twin springs before.

  He frowned and said, "Who is the Warthog family? Your Excellency House Warthog? Why is he willing to be the chief director of the Faling Pagoda in Runwu City?"

  Runwu City, as the central city of Fengxi Field, is equivalent to a large provincial capital city.

  The chief director of Faling Pagoda, House Warthog, is a fifth-ring ocean arcanist, and it can be said that he has long been a big shot.

   "It's Lord House Warthog's clan brother, Haut Warthog, a 3-ring arcanist." Sanfis is very well informed about these news.

   After finishing speaking, he said worriedly: "I know several arcane masters, and they all feel that Runwu City is coming to pick the fruits of our Cuihai City!"

   "It is inevitable to be picked." Duke could see clearly, "Being able to place Cuihai City in Heijiaohe must give up some benefits."

  Heijiaohe area, one city and two cities.

  This is a very rare administrative division, especially the Seven Towers Federation is a federal system, basically a city is a state. This kind of two cities is divided into one place, and it is still a state, and the interests involved are very huge.

   As soon as the two of them walked out of the gate of the mage tower, Herdos, the captain of the guard knights, hurried over: "My lord, the High Priest of the Black Snake Family asks to see you."

  Mu Lashan also followed: "Second Grandpa heard that you are back, sir, so he immediately took a speeding car and came here with uncle. Sister Mu Lali is accompanying them."

   "Okay." Duke signaled Sanfis to wait.

   Immediately went to see Murand Black Snake and Muhans Black Snake. The two of them also didn't know what happened to Duke. They just heard that Duke came back and came to contact each other.

"High Priest, Uncle Muhansi, you stay in the Mage Tower at noon, let's have lunch together. I'm going to the Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City to update the information of the Faling Card." Duke signaled Murali to replace Entertain two by yourself.

  Mulland Black Snake squinted his eyes and smiled brightly: "Master Sage, you are busy with your work, as long as the old man and Muhans are accompanied by Mu Lali."

  Wait until Duke turns to leave.

  The smile on his face never stopped, his eyes were fixed on Mu Lali, and his smile became brighter and brighter: "Little Mu Lali, please take good care of the sage."

   "Second Grandpa, don't worry." Mu Lali nodded.

  Muhans breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some self-mockery: "Sage Duke's aura is getting stronger and stronger, and even approaching him gives me a sense of oppression."

   "After all, he is a double sage. I also felt a little out of breath just now." Murand Black Snake felt the same way.

  He worked hard to maintain a small nobleman, and it was rare to see a big man.

  Looking at Duke who grew up, he has grown into a big man who stomps his feet and shakes the ground, and his identity aura is too strong.

  But neither of them thought about whether Duke's aura was too strong, or his aura became stronger again.

  Even Mu Lali, the little assistant, didn't know that Duke had been promoted to the third-level arcane mage, and thought that Duke was still a second-level arcanist.

"Fortunately, the sage Duke's attitude towards us is still the same as before." Muhans said with relief. Hearing Duke call himself Uncle Muhans really felt a kind of indescribable comfort, as if he had also become a famous person. big shot.

When Muland heard this, he immediately became vigilant and said: "Muhans, you have to pay attention, although the sage still treats us the same, but we must respect the sage more, and we must not just rely on a little relationship stand up!"

   "Yes, Second Uncle." Muhans replied solemnly.

"Well, I'll go back after lunch and don't bother Mr. Sage." Muland said in a deep voice, "In addition, you should personally supervise the renovation of Duke's former residence, and when it is completed, it will be open to the public and strictly guarantee daily visitors. Numbers. Remember, it’s our attitude, not our money.”

   "I understand, Uncle Er."

  …

  Duke didn’t know that the Black Snake Family was already planning to launch the “Duke’s Former Residence”, and he had already taken Sanfis to Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City.

Mentor Penrose is currently acting as the chief director of Faling Pagoda, but he is not here today. The person in charge of the work is 2nd-ring arcane mage Marsh. Marsh used to be the director of Faling Pagoda in Shenjiao City. Lingta serves as the director.

   "Master Duke!" Marcius warmly received Duke, "It's really a great honor to see you again, you shocked the world once again!"

  Malciu praised the Ring of Imprint endlessly, exaggerating this technology so much that it almost entered the Hall of Valor.

   "Your Excellency Marshall, I am here today on business."

   "Ah, please do your bidding!"

"Let me update the magic card information." Duke took out his purple-backed gold-edged magic card. The purple background represents the great arcane mage, and the gold edge represents the title of scholar. Come sign up."

   "Third Ring!" Maltese exclaimed.

   But judging by his expression, he was not surprised by this matter, but excited that his expectations had come true: "Are you promoted to a 3-ring senior arcanist?"

"Yes."

"Ah, okay...the acting chief Penrose, who is in charge of the work, is not here today, why don't you go to the testing room first, and test the level of Linghai according to the usual practice. I will immediately get someone to contact the acting chief Penrose, and Oulu Master Qi."

   "Whatever." Duke didn't care.

  He just came to register a piece of information. Anyway, the record is his, which is nine years earlier than the previous record. He doesn't care if he registers earlier or later.

  After the quasi-arcane weapon in the testing room was activated, a special spiritual interaction was triggered, and feedback from Duke Linghai was obtained.

   "3 rings! Really 3 rings!" Maerxiu clenched his fists excitedly.

Before he was transferred to the Faling Pagoda of Cuihai City, he had talked with the chief director Oruqi and others, and he believed that Duke would definitely break the record for the youngest 3-ring Arcane Master and the fastest promotion to 3-ring. It's just that it's not known how quickly it will look like.

  Therefore.

   When Duke revealed his intentions, he was not so surprised.

   It's not surprising that Tianjiao, who can activate the will of the stars, was promoted to a 3-ring Arcane Mage at the age of 22. In ancient times, there were people who just opened the spiritual sea and were promoted to the existence of arcanists on the same day.

  In short, on the path of spiritual mystery, with spiritual guidance, everything is possible.

   "Master Duke, the information is correct. You are already a third-ring arcane mage." Marshall waited for Duke to step off the instrument platform, and immediately went up to him. "May I ask, when did you get promoted to the third ring?"

   "It was more than a month ago, but it doesn't matter anymore, just remember that I was promoted today." Duke said casually.

"Ah... Lord Duke, it is related to the records of the entire Seven Towers Federation and even the entire human race. The Faling Tower needs the most accurate data. Can you still recall the day when you were promoted?" Marshall Insist on asking for a date.

  Duke naturally remembered, but Xiaoyi would remember for him if he didn’t remember: “April 5th.”

"Okay, on April 5, 4418 in the storm calendar, Duke, the erudite sage and card-making sage, was promoted to a senior arcanist with the third ring..." Marshall quickly recorded the time, and then sighed, "You will record the third ring , a full nine years of improvement!"

   "With the development of spiritual mysteries, maybe soon, someone will break my record." Duke laughed.

"I can't guarantee that there will be no one to follow your record, but it will definitely not be possible in a short time." Marciu took Duke's Faling Card and quickly updated the information for him, "I have sent the Faling Pagoda of Runwu City Report, since your Magic Card is specially made, the new card has to be sent from the Holy City of Arcane."

  The Magic Spirit Card of the Great Austrian Mage level is at least a 3-ring spirit card, which needs to be made by card-making scholars and even card-making sages.

  Marciu handed over the old card: "You can now use the old card within the area of ​​Heijiaohe. When the new card arrives, we will send someone to notify you immediately to replace the old card with the new one."

   "Thank you very much."

   "You are too polite!" Marcius exclaimed, "It's a pity that I can't make the decision. If Master Orucci is here, he will definitely ring the bell."

  Sanfis, who was witnessing the record, immediately praised: "This is a good idea. Such a glorious moment should be celebrated by the whole world!"

"It's not necessary." Duke declined with a smile, "It's better to ring the bell of the Faling Pagoda for the newly promoted arcanist. I'm just promoted to the third-level arcanist, and there is no meaning worth ringing the bell. Repairing the bell matter, you will pass it on to Your Excellency Orucci later.”

   Actually.

  The bell of the Faling Pagoda in Shenjiao City has already rang twice for Duke, once when he was promoted to an Arcane Mage, and once when he was promoted to a 2-ring Arcane Mage to break the record.

   "Uh, yes, as you wish." Marshall replied.

  Sanfis wanted to say something, but stopped. After all, his identity is only a ring 1 arcane mage. Duke regards him as a friend, but he can't look at Duke.

   Can only look up.

  Some things are not easy to say casually.

  Leaving Faling Pagoda, Duke and Sanfis took the shuttle back to Lingya Mountain.

  As soon as I went up the mountain, I got a report from the guard captain Herdos: "My lord, Lord Keyston Raging Wave and Ms. Kilia Raging Wave are visiting, and Lord Suktara is receiving him in the mage tower."

   "Really!" Duke's eyes lit up.

   Immediately, he strode into the mage's tower, and quickly rushed to Suktara's office under the guidance of the tower spirit pheasant feather.

   Pushing open the door, I felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing, and then I was hit by a warm body into my arms, and my golden hair curled up to the tip of my nose.

   It was Kiria Raging Waves whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

   Looking for tickets~
