Studying Science in the Alternate World

  Chapter 272 Cuihai City United Tower Chief Executive

   "Meow!"

  The 2-ring phantom beast with money stripes instead of black stripes—Money Serval Cat Mimi, suddenly jumped into Vivienne's hand, golden light flashed, and it had turned into a light golden long sword.

   Eudemons Eudemons.

  As the name suggests, it is a spirit beast that can change form.

  The transformed form of the money serval is not armor, but a long sword of money, but the hilt seems to melt, fused with Vivienne's hand.

   "It's cool." Standing opposite Duke, he looked at Vivienne who was holding the money long sword, and praised, "However, the power still needs to be further tested... Xiaodou, it's our turn to transform into one."

   Accompanied by Duke's call.

  Xiaodou yelled "Aww", ran straight to Duke, bumped into Duke, and then turned into a set of spiked armor at an extremely fast speed.

  One of the spikes appeared on Duke's hand. It was thin and long, like a sharp sword.

   "Are you ready, Vivienne?" Duke asked in a deep voice under the hideous helmet.

  Vivian pulled a sword flower at any time, and responded: "My lord, please."

  Duke immediately rushed forward, and the vindictiveness that had been qualitatively changed quickly covered the spikes in his hands. He called this spike "Hornet Sword".

   means the needle behind the tail of the wasp.

  At this moment, the Hornet sword was wrapped by his fighting spirit, as if it had been covered with a layer of sharp blades, forming a two-finger-wide long sword.

   The vindictiveness of the Eudemons Knight with ring 2 can already achieve the level of illusion.

  This is a principle similar to the release of arcane art, which is the transformation of invisible power into tangible things, but the arcane art is ever-changing, while the grudge must be relatively fixed.

when!

  The two passed by each other, the sword of money and the sword of the hornet collided, and the vindictive energy condensed into reality collided, and they shattered like ice cubes.

  The fine debris splashed, and before it hit the ground, it turned into fighting spirit and dissipated.

   "Your "Swift Sword Art" has improved a lot, and the strength and angle of this move are perfect." Duke praised while fighting.

   Vivian's hard work, every bit of it, is in his eyes.

   But sometimes hard work can't fill the gap in talent. At least compared with Duke, Vivienne's combat effectiveness is not enough.

   Hum!

  The moment he passed by again, the Wasp Sword swung the money sword at a tricky angle, and then the tip of the sword directly brushed against Vivienne's temples, shooting out a sharp sword glow.

  If the angle was a little more off, the sword light would be able to pierce Vivienne's cheek.

"Your reaction is slow, Vivienne, if I have the intention, this sword will tell the winner." Duke turned around and made another sword, precisely pointing to the attack line of the long sword of money, the sword glowed like a poisonous snake spit The letter is average, sometimes shrinking, sometimes skyrocketing.

  Vivian didn't answer, she couldn't distract herself from Duke's pressure.

   He could only grit his teeth and wave the long sword of money in his hand, trying to keep up with Duke's fighting rhythm, fighting non-stop, trying to strike a threatening blow.

pity.

  Duke on the opposite side, although he didn't condense "Duke's Flying Feather", but "Duke's Leap" is running almost all the time, making his body flexible to the extreme.

  Occasionally, Vivian's money long sword can break through the blockade and stab Duke.

  But Duke will always cast the "Gammart Shield" in time to prevent this blow, not to mention hurting Duke, even the spiked armor will not be able to touch it.

   "We still need to work hard, Vivienne." Duke commented leisurely.

  The Hornet sword in his hand would always swing a tricky and weird attack from time to time, forcing Vivian to be in a hurry.

  Whether swordsmanship or bodywork is good, any combat skill in Duke's hands can turn decay into magic.

   There is no other reason.

  Xiaoyi will calculate countless fighting methods based on fighting qi and martial arts, and after these methods are displayed, Duke will follow along. As time goes by, these fighting qi martial arts become Duke's subconscious behavior as if they have been tempered thousands of times.

  The so-called enlightenment is nothing more than that.

   Vivienne gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and rushed towards Duke again, but her movements were already messed up.

  Duke taught her day and night, in simple terms, and the "Duke Leap" that he taught her could not be performed.

  However, just when Duke was about to shake his head to comment.

The long sword of money suddenly hit his face with a sword light, a little cold, Duke reacted instinctively, crossed his hands, and gathered a Gammat shield in front of the face door, the grudge quickly became as hard as iron, and any sword light could hardly run through.

  But just when the sword light was about to hit Gammat's shield, Xiaoyi's red light warning flashed on the Dou Qi holographic screen.

  The next second.

  That bit of cold light unexpectedly turned without warning, as if turning from a sword light into a cat's claw, bypassing Gammat's shield, and scratching heavily on the mask of the spiked armor.

  Patter!

  The mask of the spiked armor was scratched with three cracks.

   "Huh!" Vivienne slumped on the ground after hitting this blow, her whole body strength was almost exhausted, and her chest heaved violently.

  Duke was taken aback for a moment.

  Although the spiked armor has not been broken, even the instant 2-ring combined arcane-elemental arcane shield has not been activated, which indicates that this blow will not pose any threat to him.

   But if it were someone else, an ordinary 2-ring Eudemons knight might not be able to avoid this blow.

   "Nice job!" Duke came back to his senses and praised without hesitation, "What is this move? Is it Mimi's natural attack?"

"I don't know, Mimi told me in my heart that it can do this." Vivian grabbed Duke's hand and stood up, "It can transform into a money sword, and it can also release the sword light At that time, it turns into a cat's claw and attacks the opponent."

   "Well, it's a pretty good move, and the sneak attack is quite effective." Duke laughed, "It should be similar in nature to my Hornet Sword, and it's the innate ability of Eudemons."

  In addition to transforming the spiked armor, the small pocket can also condense an additional slender spike, which is the Hornet Sword.

  In addition to transforming into a long sword of money, Mimi can also perform a one-hit surprise attack.

  He thought for a while, and came up with a catchy name for Mimi's move: "Why don't we call it Cat's Claw Shadow Slash, what do you think?"

  Although I feel a little ashamed.

  But Vivienne has always been based on Duke's opinion, so she nodded without hesitation: "Well, let's call it Cat's Claw Shadow Slash."

   "Meow..." Mimi, who had already disillusioned and condensed into a figure, licked the cat's paw with some disdain.

  Xiaodou, who also dispelled the illusion, saw that Mimi dared to roll her eyes, so she yelled dissatisfiedly at Mimi: "Wow!"

   The battle is over.

  Duke basically has a judgment on the combat effectiveness of the 2nd-level Eudemons Knight. Compared with the 1st-level Arcane Mage, it may still be weaker, but not much weaker.

   Once the 2-ring Eudemons Knights can be produced in batches, it will really bring about earth-shaking changes to the world.

However, Duke is not in a hurry to study the blood spirit array, blood spirit fruit, and mass-produce Eudemons knights. It’s too late to tamp it down.”

  On the first ring track, the Eye of the Arcane Tool is still in the R&D center.

  There are still two vacancies on the second ring track, and there is no plan for the time being.

On the third track, the Elemental Armor Arcane Wonder is under construction. Once completed, it will be able to form a linkage with the Arcane Shield and the Elemental Shield. The 3-ring combination of Arcane-Essential Energy Armor is instantly cast, and the defense power is direct. full.

  Facing the Great Arcane Master at that time, Duke has the confidence to go to a few rounds.

   "Master." Xiaoyi reminded in real time, "The charging of the star imprint has been completed."

   "Is it finished?" Duke quickly returned to his office, locked the door, decisively opened the dream of stars, and started a new round of work to light up the stars.

  However, apart from being lucky enough to lock the 3rd Ring Tree King Xueshan Palace in the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice—Xueshan King, no other tree king developed by humans was found.

   After running for half an hour, forty or fifty stars were successfully lit, and Duke returned to the real world.

  Although there are endless stars in the Dreamland of Stars, Duke is not in a hurry. He goes to light up the stars every four days, and there will always be a day when all of them will be lit up.

   Immediately.

  He took out a lump of wood from his arms.

"The heart of the oak... I don't know how to activate it." Rubbing the heart of the oak in his hand, Duke thought of another thing, "If I let the oak spirit recover the ancestor of the oak tree, and then plant it on the Lingtooth Mountain, Is it equivalent to binding the land of returning to the city?"

  Chicken, a 2-ring elf, can recycle the 2-ring elf Ben Lingzhi-Ji Yulu.

  As a 3-ring spirit, the oak spirit can naturally recycle the spirit of the 3-ring spirit - the ancestor of the oak tree.

  After returning to Cuihai City, spit out the ancestor of the oak tree and plant it again.

"However...forget it, once the ancestor of the oak tree is taken away, I am afraid that the Asibah tribe will suffer a catastrophe." Duke certainly does not want to see this situation, "On the other hand, the Asibah tribe can also become a One of the three caves of my cunning rabbit."

  In case of danger in the Seven Towers Federation, the Asibah Tribe is his best refuge.

   Much safer than Xueshan Palace.

  …

  When the hot summer season just arrived, Keyston Rage held a meeting of the five towers.

In addition to Keston Rage, Williams, Irvine, Stephen Escape, as well as Bernoulli, Duke, Aruqi, Jovis Lynx and Penrose, Boyton Wind was also invited. Snake, attend this meeting.

  The above people are either the chief of the five towers of Shenjiao City, or the acting chief of the five towers of Cuihai City, so they were able to attend.

  As for Delilah Armorer and Howt Warthog, who are eyeing the five towers of Cuihai City, they are not eligible to join.

"The purpose of today's meeting is to discuss the chief candidate for the five towers of Cuihai City, the second city in Heijiaohe." Erwin, acting as the chief executive of Cuihai City, sat on Keyston's left and presided over the meeting. Meeting, "Referring to the structure of one city and two cities in other regions, we need to appoint a new team in Cuihai City."

  The Seven Towers Federation is a federal state.

  Each region is equivalent to an independent federation, and even each market town belongs to an independent federation.

  In the past, the five towers of Shenjiao City could coordinate the entire Heijiaohe land, but now that there is more Cuihai City, they will inevitably be separated from each other.

"According to the structure of one city and two cities, the five towers of Shenjiao City are the principal, and the five towers of Cuihai City are the deputy. When major decisions are made in Heijiaohe, two teams of principal and deputy are required to participate in the decision-making together. Promoted to the Ten Towers Conference."

Erwin continued: "Under this system, the Union Tower of Shenjiao City is in charge, and the chief executive controls the overall situation of Heijiao River. A clear division of labor."

  Although he is a deputy, the chief executive of the United Tower of Cuihai City is at the same level as the chief executive of the United Tower of Shenjiao City.

  The level is still higher than the chief of the other four towers.

"Everyone understands the system." After Erwin finished talking about the system, he began the main text, "Today we will ventilate internally and nominate candidates, and we will expand the scope of nominations in another day to allow settlers from Heijiaohe to apply for positions. "

  Paused, Erwin said: "As for the result of the competition, it will be voted at the enlarged meeting."

  The Heijiaohe region is a federation, but it is not a truly independent federation. The right to appoint and remove personnel still has to go through the expanded meeting of the United Tower of the Seven Towers Federation.

  However, according to the voting process of the relevant meeting, the opinions of local voters in Shenjiao City will be emphasized.

At present, the five votes of Keston Rage, Williams, Irvine, Stephen Maverick and Duke are basically the same. A consistent choice will also be given.

  As for Bernoulli, he definitely favors the veteran nobles in Runwu City.

"Okay, I've informed you all. Now to select candidates, we will start with the Union Tower in Cuihai City." Erwin said calmly, "Although I am acting as an agent, I will not participate in the competition. I will recommend Duke to be the Cuihai City. The chief executive of the Haishi Union Tower."

  Double sages, the ring of branding, opening the will of the stars... A series of achievements have been added to make Duke's reputation resound throughout the Seven Towers Federation.

   It also directly led to the unanimous selection of Duke as the chief executive of the United Tower by all the members of the meeting.

   Even Bernoulli had a serious face and recommended Duke.

   After all, the Black Jade family needs to take root in Cuihai City, and the most unavoidable thing in the future is Duke.

"Then next is the chief director of the Element Tower in Cuihai City. I personally recommend Jovis Shanmao. Jovis Shanmao has many years of experience in governing the Union Tower in Shenjiao City. I am also an arcanist. I have rich combat experience and can qualified for this position.”

  Erwin is still the first recommendation.

  Kiston held a teacup and leisurely echoed: "Second."

Williams also seconded, Stephen Maverick, as the chief director of the Element Tower in Shenjiao City, said one more thing: "Jovis Lynx is extremely talented, and he is not very young. Mage."

  Duke smiled and said, "I second."

Bernoulli frowned, and said indifferently: "I recommend Delari Kaishu, Delari Kaishu is also extremely talented. The Kaishu family has always been involved in pioneering wars."

   Finished speaking.

  Bernoulli looked at Boyton Wind Snake. In the whole meeting, he and Boyton Wind Snake belonged to outsiders.

  Boyton Wind Snake stared down at his teacup, and said lightly, "I second."

   Bernoulli frowned even deeper.

   "Next is the chief director of the Cuihai City Learning Tower, and I recommend Boyton Wind Snake." Erwin quickly proceeded to the next link.

   Everyone still chooses to second, Duke is no exception, and Bernoulli is no exception.

   Then he will observe the election of the chief director of the tower, Erwin reported the name he had negotiated a long time ago: "Karius Flamingo."

  Everyone seconded, even Boyton Wind Snake also seconded.

   Only Bernoulli had an ugly face. He was determined to win this position, but now it was obvious that the indigenous group headed by Keyston had left him out.

  He couldn't bear the shame to recommend himself.

He could only pinch his nose and recommend another candidate: "Bolishi Heiyu, my son, has profound attainments in the field of Gu control, and there is an old man paving the way for him. I believe he will do better than Karius, the construction leader. good!"

"Baris Black Jade? If I remember correctly, he is Bernoulli's son who was born in your early years. He must be 140 or 50 years old now?" Williams said softly, "It is 3 minutes away from the Arcane Master The 180-year-old life limit seems to be not too long."

   "Hmph!" Bernoulli gritted his teeth, "My son has the talent to clear the fog of spiritual mystery."

   "Then it's better to wait for him to push away, and we'll elect him again. Why are you in such a hurry to select him?" Williams continued to fire.

  Bernoulli was too lazy to argue with him, and looked directly at Erwin: "I have already recommended it, hurry up to the next session."

  Erwin said cheerfully: "Why worry, you and I won't be able to die in a while."

"you!"

"Okay, stop arguing, your ears hurt." Kiston waved his hand, "Hurry up and finish it, I'm still waiting to go back to watch the Phantom movie. Recently, DreamWorks has released several good-quality Phantom movies. Remember to watch them all. .”

  He is helping himself a lot... his granddaughter solicits business.

Erwin stopped pestering Bernoulli and said, "Next is the chief director of Faling Pagoda in Cuihai City. I recommend Penrose. Penrose is not only the veteran ruler of the Union Tower in Shenjiao City, but also the enlightenment mentor of Duke Sage. , enough qualifications."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

   When it was Bernoulli's turn, he immediately said: "I recommend Hout Warthog. The Warthog family is a veteran aristocrat. I am also young and promising, which is more suitable than Penrose."

  After the voice fell to the ground, Boyton Wind Snake suddenly squinted and said with a smile: "I second the proposal of His Excellency Bernoulli."

  Duke raised his eyebrows, but he didn't care.

  Even though Boyton Wind Snake obviously has the intention of falling for him, he is still a member of the old aristocrats in Runwu City and has his own social circle.

  The Wind Snake family, Warthog family, and Kaishu family migrated to Cuihai City together, and there must be some private involvement.

   So far.

  The Five Towers Conference in Shenjiao City has already elected all the candidates and is waiting to report to the Seven Towers Federation for a formal election.

  However, individual registration will be accepted in the future, and applicants with sufficient qualifications will be reported to the Seven Towers Federation together, and they will be put together for election with the officially recommended candidates. Finally, through an enlarged meeting, the final candidate is selected by voting.

   There is no whining, and there is no superior assessment.

  Five days later, in the large meeting room of the United Tower of Cuihai City, there was a crowd, and all the arcane masters who had the right to vote for the expanded meeting sat in the inner meeting room.

  The electors sit in the outer conference room.

  Duke is also sitting in the outer conference room, because the first round of the enlarged meeting will choose the chief executive of the Union Tower. As an elector, he has to avoid this vote.

   "Master Duke, your vote is a round-robin form, and it should end soon." Karius Flamingo said with a smile.

   He has the support of the local circle, and at the moment he is in high spirits, thinking that he has a great chance of winning in the competition for the chief director of the observation tower.

   "You can't say that, there is still pressure." Duke looked around the electors and found that there were quite a few self-signed candidates.

In addition to several 3-ring arcane mages who migrated from Runwu City, there are also several local 3-ring arcane mages, such as Narnia, the director of the Element Tower, Fruel, the external director of the United Tower, and even Stephen Wing. Tiger's nephew Scott Maverick.

  Stephen Maverick is competing for the position of chief director of Faling Tower.

  Everyone has their own ideas, especially at the level of the 3rd Ring Arcane Mage, who is not easily shaken.

  Even Stephen Yihu didn’t understand why his nephew, who devoted himself to researching the field of life all day long and hardly asked about foreign affairs, suddenly came to compete for the chief director of Faling Pagoda.

  Time passed in seconds.

About a quarter of an hour later, a great arcane mage walked out of the inner meeting room, faced everyone, and said in a solemn voice: "I am the messenger of the enlarged conference of the United Supreme Tower, Ravens. The voting results of the city's union tower chief executive election will be announced."

  Everyone immediately sat upright and listened to the result.

Ravens read aloud: "The number of voters was fifty-seven, and the actual vote was fifty-seven. There were several rounds of voting...Duke won fifty-two votes and obtained absolute voting rights. With the approval of the United Supreme Tower, he officially took the post. Chief Executive of Cuihai City."

   Hurrah.

   There was thunderous applause, and everyone applauded Duke whether they wanted to or not.

This result is not surprising. If the title of double sage, the third-ring arcane master, the inventor of the branding ring, and even the chief executive of the small Cuihai City Union Tower cannot be elected, it is estimated that the observation tower investigation team of the Seven Towers Federation, It's time to come down and ask for accountability.

   "Thank you, thank you." Duke stood up without much surprise on his face.

   Without waiting for him to make a speech, Ravens said in a deep voice: "The next round of enlarged meeting is about to begin. Please, Sage Duke, go to the inner conference room and vote."

"good."

  Duke followed Ravens into the inner laboratory.

   Ravens' figure quickly disappeared, but another messenger, Mossburn Fire Sheep, came back and continued to preside over the enlarged meeting.

  This meeting votes to elect the chief director of the Tower of Elements.

  After the ballots were sent out, Duke realized that it was far from simply filling in a name, and he had to explain the reasons for his choice.

"Jovis Lynx, his qualifications and talents are sufficient for this position. I have known Jovis Lynx for many years, and I have great trust in him...I believe that Jovis Lynx will be the chief director of the Element Tower, and I am very concerned about my upcoming work on the United Towers. , has a very important benefit.”

  Duke chose Jovis Bobcat, and as the chief executive of the Union Tower, he emphasized the benefits of cooperation between each other.

   Afterwards, Mossburn Fire Sheep messenger took everyone's votes away.

A moment later, the messenger of Ravens came down again and announced the results of this round of voting: "...Jovis Lynx got 21 votes, and Delilah Armor Rat got 20 votes, both of which were less than half of the votes... Hold a second ballot, choose between the two, and state the new rationale."

  Duke thought for a while.

   Decisively wrote on the ballot: "During the period when Jovis Bobcat was acting as the chief director, the Tower of Elements was operating very effectively, which is in line with my next strategic plan for Cuihai City."

   Ballots turned in.

Mossburn Fire Sheep Messenger came after a while and announced the results: "Jovis Bobcat got 27 votes, and Delilary Armor Rat got 24 votes, of which Jovis Bobcat got two extra points The ballots, adjudicated by an enlarged meeting, Jovis Lynx wins."

  Duke, Keyston, Erwin and the others looked at each other and smiled.

   I feel good.

  Stopping Delilah Kaishu is the result he wants most.

   This guy relied on his great-grandfather as the instructor of the 6th Ring Sky Arcana and the chief director of the Element Tower of Runwu City. He snatched the Twin Springs as soon as he came here, and he didn't take Duke, who had already won the title of Erudite Sage at that time, in his eyes.

  Duke can keep this grudge firmly in mind—even if he can't remember it, Xiao Yi will remind him when he hears the name De Laili Kaishu.

It can be said.

  Duke's enmity, either let go or revenge, there is no option to forget.

Next, the voting for the new enlarged meeting began. There was no big surprise. Boyton Wind Snake successfully won the position of chief director of the Learning Tower, and Karius Flamingo narrowly won the election after three rounds of voting. Observation tower chief councilor position.

  Although Bernoulli did not run for the election, his son Bolis Heiyu won the support of the veteran nobles in Runwu City.

   Fortunately, in the enlarged meeting, the two chief executives, Duke and Keyston, both had extra votes, and supported Karius Flamingo to the end.

  Only in the last enlarged meeting, Penrose lost to Hout Warthog without any surprises, and only used one round of voting.

"It's not just Runwu City, it's united to the high tower, and I don't want Heijiaohe land to be dominated by local forces." After the enlarged meeting, Keyston Nutao said with his hands behind his back, "Comfort your enlightenment Mentor, you will be the host later, and invite the new leadership team of Cuihai City to gather together."

  Cuihai City’s first chief executive of the United Tower, Duke, nodded: “I understand, I’ve already asked someone to arrange a banquet.”
