Studying Science in the Alternate World

Chapter 339 Supreme Committee

 In the spiritual sea, visions abound.

  Xiaoyi controlled the boiling spiritual energy and swept away the ink-colored ice flowers that flooded the entire spiritual sea. These ink-colored ice flowers are all decayed spirituality, cast by the Sinking Magic and projected with the help of spirituality, creating a nightmare space in Duke's spiritual sea.

 When the ink-colored ice flowers dissipated, the spiritual sea returned to the bright night sky background, and the seven small black dots in it were particularly conspicuous.

　　Without the protection of decadent spirituality, the seven small black dots soon showed their true colors.

 turned into seven fallen demon clones, with black smoke billowing all over the body, white bones in the smoke, and green will-o'-the-wisps flickering in the holes in the eyes.

 The upper and lower jaws open and close, roaring silently.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they struggled, it was of no avail. The spiritual sea was now under Xiao Yi's absolute control, locking the seven fallen demon clones tightly.

"Master, among the clones of the Sinking Demon, there are four 5th-level clones and three 6th-level clones."

"Happiness!"

 Duke laughed loudly and took in seven Sinking Demon clones at once, which meant seven extra slots were provided for him.

Unfortunately, it is not the basic first-ring orbit and second-ring orbit slots—to build a forbidden art system, the slots of the first-ring orbit, the second ring orbit, and the third ring orbit are the most critical, because the slots they provide are really limited.

“Anyway, with these extra slots, I don’t need to wait to be promoted to Sky Arcane Mage, and I can start building the 7th-level forbidden spell - Sword of Glory, and the 7th-level forbidden spell - Changfeng Wanli!"

  Duke was sure that the clone of the Sinking Demon had been eliminated, and exited the spiritual sea in a good mood.

Still in the bedroom of Oaktusk Hill Castle, Kylia Fury still had a peaceful smile on her face and had not yet woken up from her sleep.

The violent bombardment just now in the billowing black smoke seemed to be just a traceless spring dream.

“My dear, why are you awake so early?” Duke’s movement woke up Kiliya Fury, “It’s not even bright yet outside.”

 “You keep sleeping, baby.”

 Duke leaned on the head of the bed, thinking silently.

The Sinking Demon clone brought by the nightmare invasion was certainly a great supplement, but after the excitement gradually faded, he began to think about why he suffered a second nightmare invasion.

The first time I was invaded by nightmares, it was because I had just been promoted to Arcane Earth Mage and my foundation was unstable, which attracted the attention of the Sinking Demon.

So why is it happening this time?

"It must have something to do with the death of Andre Primrose. However, when Andre Primrose passed away, I seemed to be very low-key. I said I would not go to Offa Holy City if I didn't go to Offa Holy City. Everything was done as a clone. , will this also provoke the Sinking Demon?"

Duke couldn't understand: "Or for Andre Evening Primrose, the fallen demons who originally attacked him are now dead with him and have nothing to do. So they all turned their guns and started looking for trouble with me... I seem to understand, after all, I am too dazzling."

The fallen demon is a slave to spirituality.

 Spirituality is just a kind of primitive energy and does not distinguish between good and evil. Therefore, it can nourish all things in the world and breed fallen demons.

 The target of the Sinking Demon is basically the arcane mage who has exposed his flaws.

This is like a fly biting an egg that is not perfect. Once there is a flaw in the arcane mage's twisting ring, the original heart may be lost, which will attract the attack of the fallen demon. Trying to pollute and degenerate arcane mages into new fallen demons, and at the same time reduce them to corrupt spirituality.

For example, Andre Evening Primrose failed to attack the 9th ring on the sun, and there was a problem with the twisted ring, so he was often attacked by the fallen demon.

Now that Andre Evening Primrose has passed away, the fallen demons have lost their goal.

Since there is no more suitable target, we can only resort to the next best thing and attack the most shining existence among the spiritual arcana.

 Spiritual decay and spiritual mystery are two sides of the same coin.

"As the saying goes, opposites attract. My achievements in the spiritual arcane system have caused me to be as conspicuous as a torch in the dark in the perception of the fallen demons... Therefore, the fallen demons hiding in the dark will attack me from time to time. I!"

Thinking of this, Duke was extremely grateful for his original decision, not choosing to settle in the Holy City of Offa, but living in Cuihai City.

 Otherwise, it would not be the nightmare invasion of the Sinking Demon's clone, but the Sinking Demon's true body attacking in person.

“Although I have a moonlight cage to defend myself and a dreamland of stars to hide in, it is never a good thing to be under the danger of being assassinated by the Sinking Demon at all times.”

 How can I not get my shoes wet if I often walk along the river?

Duke trembled and felt scared. If one day he was careless and was successfully assassinated by the Sinking Demon, then he would really have to be selected into the Temple of Heroes in advance and accept the respect and worship of all people.

"certainly."

Duke thought of another possibility: "There may be someone among the stars who is connected with the Fallen Demon. After all, not every star is convinced that I am in a high position at such a young age."

 "Shadick Pioneer Eye, Perots Green Fox, Weasley..." He read out three names.

Shadik Pioneer Eye is the guardian of the Shivering Realm, Perots Green Fox is the executive director of the Supreme Tower of Elements, and Weasley is the commander of the Second Legion of Arcane Assistance. They are all members of the Council of Stars and the 7-ring Morning Star Arcana. tutor.

Duke believes that the three stars are most likely to collude with the Sinking Demon.

the reason is simple.

In the last meeting that elected Duke as a formal member of the Council of Stars, there were only three objections out of forty-eight votes.

 It was these three stars who voted against it.

"I am the Seven Sages of the Five-ring Prophet. I have made unparalleled contributions to the spiritual arcana. Those who oppose me are naturally the opposite of the spiritual arcana!" Duke planned to turn around and let Selsus keep an eye on him secretly. Follow these three stars.

Once you find out the evidence that the other party is connected with the Sinking Demon.

He then requested the Council of Stars to take action and execute these three stars.

If the Star Conference cannot make an effective decision, then after he is promoted to the stars, he will personally kill these three people.

 In short, Duke will let anyone die who wants him to die.

 …

The intermediate replicating ring was cast very quickly. On January 8, the battleship Three Rings carried Duke's intermediate replicating ring and flew to the Holy City of Offa.

Duke has tried it before.

  Intermediate clones inspired by the intermediate copy ring can last up to twenty minutes without releasing arcane spells. The intermediate copy ring cast by Suktara and others can only last for about fifteen minutes at most, and the gap is obvious.

I have to say that when it comes to designing and developing arcane weapons, Xiaoyi, who has super computing power, is a master.

It is already very difficult for an ordinary arcane mage to design a complete spell model for an arcane weapon, let alone bring the spell model to its most perfect state.

 Only Duke, with the assistance of Xiaoyi, can strive to reach the limit of the spell model.

 Send away the intermediate copy ring, and the wind and information field has begun to hold enlarged meetings to nominate candidates for the speaker. Under the influence of Duke and Loren Sangome, and after repeated discussions, Selsus was successfully elected as a candidate.

“The field candidates are not the final candidates yet, they have to be selected by the stars meeting, but with your help, at least in the area of ​​field selection, Selsus is far ahead.”

 Loren Sankagome's sky replica ring is also in Duke's Sage Mage Tower, so the sky clone will come to him from time to time and chat with Duke for a while.

Duke smiled and said: "I don't have much dealings with other Huiyue. In short, I support Sir Thelsus 100%."

 “Lord Thersus has a great chance of winning.”

 “I hope so.”

"Society has been developing rapidly in the past ten years, but the number of members of the stars has decreased by two, and I don't know when they will be replaced." Loren Sankagome lamented that the former guardian of the gravel field, Miguel, degenerated into a fallen demon, so that One less person among the stars.

Now that Andre Evening Primrose has passed away, there is one less star among the stars.

However, he quickly and cheerfully said: "I dare not say anything else, but soon you can truly become a member of the stars, and the 8-ring Huiyue is also confirmed... My biggest expectation now is whether I can do it before the deadline. , I saw you successfully hit the 9th ring on Sunday."

“Although it is too early to say this now, I will try to realize this day as soon as possible.” Duke responded confidently.

 Loren Sankagome is two hundred and sixty years old.

 According to the lifespan of a 7-ring Morning Star, it has at least one hundred years left to live.

 Duke doesn’t know if he can hit the 9-ring Sun Star within a hundred years, but he will definitely have no problem hitting the 7-ring Morning Star within a hundred years. If there is a major opportunity in the middle, it may not be possible to create an unparalleled history and hit the 9th Ring Sunday success before the age of 100.

after all.

 The practice of other arcane mages is really one step at a time, crossing the river by feeling for the stones.

 But since he first opened the spiritual sea, the ninth ring orbit has been opened around the spiritual core, which means that there are no shackles within the nine rings.

 Even if you have to endure it, you can still get to the ninth level.

"You are a five-ring prophet, and your contribution to the spiritual arcana is huge. When you take the Chapter of Stars and the Chapter of Moon Phases in the future, it will be absolutely smooth. Only the Chapter of the Crowned Sun can cause you some trouble." Loren· Sankago's tone was a little envious.

 The practice of spiritual arcana is the practice of cognition.

 Hence, the higher the academic achievement of an arcane mage, the higher the peak he can climb in the future. Duke, as a sage in this world, will naturally be looked forward to by countless people.

 After chatting for a while, Loren Sankago left.

 Two days later.

As agreed, Duke traveled to the Snowshirt Palace and spent ten days with his wife, Princess Tiffany, to see the heavy snowfall in the North.

 After the star mark in Duke's Star was fully charged, he said goodbye to Princess Tiffany and returned to Cuihai City.

at the same time.

 After more than ten days of selection, the list of candidates for the Speaker of the House of Representatives from twelve areas has been released.

 Thelsus ranked first, Timelasu Aeolian ranked second, Sylvester ranked third, and Zidele Awakening ranked fourth. As for the other Hui Yues, Zambrotta did not have the title of prophet, Sarilan was older than Selsus, and Lambert Raven was the youngest and most junior, so they were not recommended.

 United to the High Tower, Star Conference Room.

 There are clouds and mist outside the window, lush green plants indoors, replica rings leaning against the wall, some of which have not been started yet, and some of which are buzzing.

"Ahem." Gianluca Zambrotta looked at everyone majestically, "Stop talking nonsense, let's start today's meeting and recommend the candidate for the speaker. Everyone has seen the list of candidates for the twelve areas and knows what they know, so we will Speak freely.”

Without pausing, he continued: "I personally recommend Sylvester. He has served on the judicial committee for many years. His prestige is enough to convince everyone, and his ability does not need to be mentioned."

Sylvester is the chairman of the Observation Tower Judgment Committee. Hearing this, he nodded slightly to Zambrotta.

 The power structure of the Seven Towers Federation is dominated by the stars.

 The stars are divided into two groups: the glowing moon and the morning star.

 Huiyue is equivalent to the top leadership. In the era of Andre Primrose, it was roughly divided into a framework of six speakers and two tower heads.

 Six Speakers.

They are the Standing Meeting of the Union Tower - Speaker Andrei Evening Primrose, the Extended Meeting of the Union Tower - Speaker Gianluca Zambrotta, the Ofa Tower Judgment Committee - Chairman Sarilang, and the Element Tower Mobilization Committee - Chairman Timirasu ·Wind God, Sylvester, Chairman of the Observation Tower Judgment Committee, and Selsus, Chairman of the Supreme Review Committee of the Erudite Tower. Whether it is the Conference of the Stars, the Enlarged Conference, or several committees, they are all higher-level institutions than the Seven Supreme Towers.

　　Just set up in a certain supreme tower, and then bear the name of a certain supreme tower.

 And the two tower heads.

　　It is the chief governor of the Union Tower, Zidele Awakening, and the chief director of the Observation Tower, Lambert Raven.

Zambrotta continued: "There is another reason why I recommended Sylvester, that is, after Sylvester is elected as Speaker, the Observation Tower Judgment Committee can be handed over to Lambert Raven to take over smoothly. The Chief Director of the Observation Tower was demoted to the rank of Morning Star.”

 The chief position of the Seven Towers, also known as the Head of the Tower, is obviously not as good as the Six Speakers. It's just that currently two of the tower leaders are Huiyue, so they can be ranked alongside the six major speakers.

 Once the tower head is changed to Morning Star, its status will naturally return to normal.

After Zambrotta finished speaking, many stars nodded, seeming to approve of Zambrotta's speech.

“I recommend Zidele Awakening.” Hamilton Phantom Dragon, the commander of the First Legion of Arcane Assistance, spoke next, “Chief Zidele has been in charge of the United Tower for many years, and all domestic and foreign affairs are proceeding in an orderly manner...”

 “I recommend Timirasu Wind God…”

The stars quickly began to express their opinions, and an hour passed in a flash. There were many people supporting the four candidates.

Zambrotta glanced around the conference room, then looked at Duke: "Duke, you haven't expressed your opinion yet."

 “Yes.” Duke nodded.

"You have participated in the Stars Meeting several times. The meeting style is always the same. You must adapt as soon as possible. It will be your suggestion next." Zambrotta said directly.

Duke did not refuse, and quickly said: "I recommend Selsus for a very simple reason. The era of subtle spirituality is coming, and social development is particularly fierce. What we have to face is a turbulent era, and natural history is the most important thing. And heavy.”

Glancing at Sirsus, who was with the old god, Duke continued: "Chairman Sirsus has devoted himself to the development of natural history for many years, so I think that with him as the Speaker, he will be in close contact with the spiritual era. They complement each other.”

 After saying that, Duke leaned back in his chair and stopped speaking.

　　Thelsus nodded to him, and he only responded lightly.

 After another ten minutes, Duke's earth clone was almost up to time, and finally no stars spoke anymore.

As if he noticed that Duke's clone didn't have enough time, Gianluca Zambrotta, who was presiding over the meeting, didn't waste any words. He directly signaled the secretary-general of the Stars Conference, Tellal, to distribute the votes: "Four candidates, each choose one candidate. , an alternative.”

 The main choice is worth three points, and the alternative is worth one point. In the end, whoever scores higher will take the stage.

 It seems sloppy, but in fact it is sloppy, but at the stage of the meeting of stars, it doesn't matter whether it is sloppy or not.

In fact, among the four Huiyue candidates, whoever serves as the Speaker, the Seven Towers Federation cannot go astray. After all, the real power of this country is not in the hands of a single Speaker, but in the hands of all the stars.

 After Duke got the ballot, he checked Selsus's name without saying a word, and then lingered on the names of the other three for a few seconds.

　Next, Lambert Raven was checked as an alternative.

 He and Zidele Xingling have studied the Lingxi projection technology together, and they are relatively familiar with it. But compared to Lambert Raven, who always supported him, the little friendship he had with Zidele Xingling was not enough, and Duke had a clear conscience.

　　After the check is completed, the ballot is given to Tyral, and Duke’s earth clone quickly disintegrates.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

 The consciousness returned to his true body, and Duke stood up from the sofa chair: "I have done everything I can, and then just wait for the results quietly."

 Don’t keep people waiting.

A moment later, Duke received the first-hand answer from the messenger of the United Supreme Tower, Mossborne Fire Sheep: "Sir, the meeting of stars has just ended, and Lord Thelsus has been elected as the new standing meeting. -speaker."

"I see."

“In addition, a new position of chairman of the Supreme Review Committee of the Erudite Tower will be elected tomorrow. Please arrive at the Stars Conference Room on time at nine o’clock in the morning.”

"good."

 Selsus was successfully elected as the Speaker, which was not unexpected by Duke. Even without his momentum, Selsus was qualified enough to compete for the Speaker.

However, the news that Selsus was elected as Speaker has not been announced to the public yet.

On the next day, the Stars Meeting began to recommend candidates for the chairman of the Supreme Review Committee of the Erudite Tower. This is the position of the six major speakers. According to convention, it is difficult for someone other than Huiyue to hold the position.

 At present, the only Huiyue other than the six Speakers are Zidele Wake and Lambert Raven.

Duke, naturally, was prepared to elect Lambert Raven.

However, Zambrotta continued to preside over the meeting. At the beginning of the meeting, Cersus, who had been elected but had not yet taken office, made an unhesitating suggestion: "I think Duke is a suitable candidate for the chairman of the Supreme Committee. From all aspects, Come on."

He looked around and further added: "Although Duke's cultivation has not yet reached the level of the stars, he started the Dongwei spiritual era. In the future, the Dongwei spiritual era will need to be led by him to move towards a more glorious era."

 There was a pause.

Seersus said something else: "Besides, the will of the stars once chose Duke to create a new era..."

As soon as these words were said, all the stars quickly recalled.

 In the past, after Duke activated the Will of the Stars, he also received enlightenment. The goddess Nyx allowed him to do whatever he wanted. While not an initiation in the traditional sense, Nyx's initiation seems increasingly valuable given the spiritual arcane achievements Duke has created.

 The Five Rings of Prophets and the Seven Sages.

 The stars looked at each other, and they all recognized the enlightenment of the goddess Nyx at that time. A sage like Duke is indeed worthy of letting him do whatever he wants.

 “I agree too.” Lambert Raven nodded slightly and agreed.

"Ahem, I think His Excellency Zidele Xingling is more suitable to take over the position of chairman of the Supreme Committee." Shadick Pioneer said.

 In an instant, Duke looked at Selsus.

Sersus also glanced back at Duke, and gave him a subtle look, indicating that everything was under his control.

 Duke encountered the second wave of nightmare invasion, and he only told Thersus.

No one noticed the eye contact between the two, and Sadiq Pioneer Eye was still talking: "The Six Speakers are not only status, but also heavy responsibilities. Prophet Duke's ability is certainly competent, but After all, my cultivation is poor."

He said, and smiled at Duke, expressing that he was just discussing the matter.

Then he continued: "The duration of the clone is too short, and I have to take care of the official duties of the Prophet and the Stars. It is inevitable that I will neglect to control the Supreme Council... Therefore, it is better to ask His Excellency Zidele Xingling to serve as the one."

 When he finished speaking, many stars nodded.

　　It does make sense.

Frannie Sanduck, the director of the Lingzhi Research Institute, suddenly laughed and said: "I don't think the clones have that big an impact. Whether it is the earth clone or the sky clone, time has not changed from the real world. Take care of your body, twenty-four hours a day, no more, no less.”

"That's true. When we activate clones from time to time, it's just a meeting to sign a document." Dunn Dragon Lance also said.

Immediately, there was a guard envoy from the Torrent Realm, and Marsis joked: "Dean Dunn, you are indeed not busy, but our clones are always busy with various affairs."

 “Why am I not busy anymore?”

 “Are you busy attacking the 4th-level dragon knight?”

“Marsis, I think you have a problem with Laoqi. You were also Laoqi in the past, but now you have refined the sea of ​​blood into arcane weapons. I’m afraid you regret it in your heart!”

"There is nothing to regret about this. Even if the sea of ​​blood is left, it will be difficult to attack the dragon knight. Why not cast it into a mysterious weapon."

"If you say this, it means you really regret it!" Dunn Dragon Knight snorted, "I often exchange blood sea cultivation experiences with Prophet Duke. In a few years, I might be able to break through to the fourth level of Dragon Knight. , then you can be envious!"

 “Haha, would I be envious? What a joke!”

“Enough!” Gianluca Zambrotta shouted coldly from the chairperson’s seat, “The topic of the meeting now is to elect the Chairman of the Supreme Committee, and no nonsense is allowed on irrelevant topics!”

Dunn Dragoon and Malsis each hummed and stopped arguing.

The other stars, who were enjoying watching the quarrel, suddenly felt disappointed, leaned back in their chairs, and started running away.

 Meeting style, always.

"I recommend Lambert Raven..." Someone also began to propose a third candidate.

In the end, it was basically concentrated on Duke, Zedler Awakening and Lambert Raven. Since they were not heads of state, there was no need to convene an enlarged meeting, so Zambrotta directly asked Secretary-General Tyral to make the ballots. .

“I’m too lazy to listen to your nonsense. Today, right now, we will directly select the chairman of the Supreme Committee and announce it to the outside world together with the candidate for the speaker of the Senate tomorrow.”

Tyral is also a star, and he is used to handling the chores of voting, so he skillfully took out a lot of blank ballots and started making ballots in the form of contracts.

 The stars, who were idle and bored, began to whisper again.

"The Speaker has been in a bad temper recently." Franny Sanduck was sitting next to Duke. She turned around and said in a gossipy tone, "I think it's because she was stimulated by the position of Speaker. Tsk tsk, I can't choose. That’s all, he’s not even a candidate.”

　　　“Not so much.”

"Why not, in the glowing moon, everyone has the title of prophet, and whoever is missing will be embarrassed." Franny Sanduck said, and broke another gossip, "In fact, the following qualifications of the Speaker, the original Offa Tower We are preparing to co-opt him as the prophet of the elemental realm.”

 “Then why isn’t he?” Duke asked curiously.

Frannie Mergans glanced at Timirasu Fengshen at the far side of the conference table, and whispered: "Because His Excellency Timirasu suddenly emerged at that time, Zambrotta took the initiative to withdraw from the supplementary session in order to highlight his pattern and demeanor. Your Excellency Timirasu has been awarded the title of Prophet of the Elemental Domain."

 “Well, that’s it.” Duke nodded lightly.

I couldn’t help but take a closer look at Timirasu Fengshen. This young Huiyue also activated the will of the stars a hundred years ago.

 Can be regarded as Duke’s predecessor.

Even in the eyes of many people, Timirasu Fengshen is expected to succeed Andre Yuencao and become the second genius to hit the 9th ring of the sun.

 It’s a pity that Duke has appeared in this era. In just over ten years, all the limelight has been stolen by Duke. When it comes to the impact of the 9th ring on the sun, everyone has begun to look forward to Duke, seeming to have completely forgotten their previous expectations for Timirasu Fengshen.

As if sensing Duke's gaze, Timirasu Fengshen, who was sitting quietly in the distance, turned his head and looked at Duke.

There is only depth in the eyes, and there is no other expression.

 Then, Timirasu Fengshen smiled slightly, which was considered a response to Duke.

Duke also smiled slightly. The two generations of Star Will Openers were not familiar with each other. After all, one was an arcanist and the other was an arcane scholar, and they took different paths.
