Chapter 189 Shenjiao City Public Burial Ceremony (Three in One)

No accidents.

Ants kill elephants.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of many 1st and 2nd ring arcanists in the airship team, the already injured 5th ring spirit insect - Black Jade Scorpion, struggled to penetrate the airbag of an airship before dying unwillingly.

The airship whose airbags were punctured had to make an emergency landing.

Afterwards, the arcanists and flight attendants on the airship were quickly transferred to other airships and continued to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the remaining Black Jade Scorpions.

But the uninjured Black Jade Scorpion was not so easy to kill.

A level 1 arcane mage like Duke couldn't break through the defense at all. With Sand Eagle in hand, he shot the Black Jade Scorpion solidly, but it had no effect.

So the help Duke can provide is to cast the arcane shield instantly to help the Loopback airship defend against the black jade scorpion's arcane attack.

At other times, he was paying attention to the dragon hunting battle not far away.

Under the bombardment of the airship brigade, the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon became more and more courageous in the battle, and its two chelicerus machete had chopped up three airships.Duke even witnessed with his own eyes that an arcane mage was slashed by the black jade horseshoe dragon when the airship shattered and landed after a short gliding.

At that time, the instant arcane technique of the bodyguard was chopped into pieces, and then the whole person was split in two.

An arcane mage died like this.

"A level 2 arcane mage, in front of Yalong, he can't hold a single sword." Duke felt a trace of sadness in his heart.

At the same time, he was even more vigilant: "In the face of spirit beasts and various dangers, the first priority must be to preserve yourself, and you must not be too strong!"

The majestic black jade horseshoe crab is still raging.

Unexpectedly, the battleship Bibo, headed by the airship brigade, flew out a round ball like a red sun, which seemed slow but was actually fast.

Glue directly to the carapace of the Black Jade Horseshoe crab.

The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon instinctively sensed the danger, and the long needle in its tail circled around, piercing into the carapace as if injecting itself.

In an instant, the jet black Jade Horseshoe Dragon seemed to be shrouded by an extraordinary force, and it directly turned into a shining obsidian statue. It was as black as ink, but it could reflect the brilliance of the sky.

Almost at the same time, the red sun-like ball exploded.

That moment.

Duke, who was far away on the Loop airship, only had time to see the dazzling light flashing, and then instantly engulfed the whole world.

When his vision recovered, before he came to remember what happened, the Loop Airship was blown by a strong wind and almost fell from the sky.

Duke grabbed the handrail to keep his body steady.

His eyes were fixed on the center of the battlefield. The ground there seemed to have been bombed by an atomic bomb, leaving a huge circular pit. At the bottom of the pit, the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon still maintained its obsidian-like sculptural posture and was not destroyed by the explosion.

"Is it all right?" Duke was terrified.

The red sun ball that the battleship Bibo flew out just now was like a small atomic bomb exploding, and the ground was scorched for a radius of ten miles.

The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon in the center of the explosion was not injured at all.

"Can you even resist a nuclear bomb?"

Although Duke didn't know what kind of method the red sun ball flew out from the battleship Bibo, there was no doubt that it had devastating power—the explosion was very similar to a nuclear bomb, and its power was definitely far greater than that of a nuclear bomb. , after all, this is an extraordinary power.

Before the shock had subsided, the obsidian sculpture at the bottom of the pit suddenly shattered.

A layer of black crystals fell to the ground, and a smaller black jade horseshoe crab jumped out of it. This huge scorpion-like monster looked around the airship brigade and fled away without looking back.

The airship brigade did not pursue.

Almost every airship and warship suffered damage to varying degrees, especially the leading battleship Bibo, whose keel was cracked and was almost broken in two.

"call."

"Fortunately, this black jade horseshoe crab is not really able to resist nuclear bombs, it should be some kind of magical means, escaped." Looking at the direction of the black jade horseshoe crab, Duke felt better, "This is like a nuclear bomb. The red sun ball may be the secret weapon of Keyston Rage!"

Oh oh oh!
Dozens of airships on the battlefield blew their sirens together to celebrate the end of the insect swarm crisis.

The flight attendant brought red wine, and Vikas directed everyone to toast together: "The insect swarm invasion in Shenjiao City, which has not been seen in a century, was finally eliminated by our concerted efforts. Let's have a drink, everyone, to celebrate this hard-won victory. .”

Although he was suspected of putting gold on his face, he did his best to resist the bug swarm, so Duke and others raised their glasses of wine one after another.

Drank the red wine in the glass.

The red wine after the battle is extraordinarily pure.

"Although he didn't succeed in hunting the dragon, he became a dragon slaying warrior once, which is great!" Sanfis was already intoxicated, and he didn't know how he identified the identity of the dragon slaying warrior.

At any rate, Duke fired a few shots at the Black Jade Horseshoe crab, and the bullets actually hit the Black Jade Horseshoe crab.

Sanfis just watched the battle from a distance.

"I saw an arcane mage killed in battle. It seems to be Lannik, the guide of the Erwin Mage Tower. Have you seen it clearly?" Orianna said suddenly.

Assistant Vikas frowned: "Langnik, are you sure?"

"I'm sure an arcanist is dead, but it's not that Lannick didn't see it."

"Isn't it? An arcanist died in battle?" Sanfis was stunned, and the intoxication of the dragon slaying warrior just now faded away quickly.

Several other people present also fell silent.

In the mind of the arcane master, death is a very distant concept, and there is no other reason.

The protection of the Arcane Master by the Seven Towers Federation has ensured the personal safety of the Arcane Master, and it is difficult for accidents to occur.

Shenjiao City has been at peace for a long time, and there has been no case of an arcanist's accidental death for many years.

Even if Baines, a life scholar who was expelled from the Faling Pagoda, hid in the hut in the forest, he ended up dying of old age, not an accidental death.

In the end, it was Vikas who helped break the silence: "Lannik...maybe he just chose to return to the origin of spirituality and integrate into the arcane itself. Let's all take it easy. After decades, perhaps in the sea of ​​real spirituality, you and I will still be there." We can meet again."

The arcane masters of the Seven Towers Federation believe that spirituality takes care of themselves, and after death, they will not disappear like ordinary people.

Instead, you will be engulfed in the spiritual sea, wandering in the real spiritual sea.

The return voyage was parked on the tarmac of the castle. Duke and others returned to the Penrose Master Tower and took the spiritual ladder to the top floor.

Looking at the surrounding land.

Taking the mage's tower in the western suburbs as the dividing line, the east side is still prosperous as before, while the west side seems to have been plowed once, with corpses strewn all over the field, most of them are corpses of spirit insects, and a small part are corpses of common people, knights and contracted spirit beasts.

At this time, the mercenary group and the knight team were picking up spoils on the devastated ground.

Assistant Vikas took a look, then turned around: "You are waiting in the Mage Tower, I will go to the Union Tower to get some information."

Duke also left, and he was going to take a look at the Duke-James farm to see how damaged the farm was.

"Sir." Mu Lali followed behind Duke, without a smile, her face was full of worry, "I don't know what's going on in Snakehead Town."

"Don't worry, the swarm of insects is coming to Shenjiao City. It is caused by the black jade horseshoe dragons brought by the great Austrian mages. It should not invade the surrounding market towns." Duke didn't know the specific situation, so he could only comfort himself selectively. little assistant.

For Duke, Mu Lali trusted him very much, and she was a little cheered up when she heard the words: "Well, I think so."

Immediately, the group left the mage's tower and took a Tiger car to the farm. The damage to the farm was better than expected. Perhaps it was because there hadn't been time to cultivate the spiritual plant jade dew here. The spirit insects just passed by here and did not damage the greenhouse.

"Thank goodness!" Boss James heaved a sigh of relief, "The farm can be regarded as saved, and the initial investment has not been in vain."

"It's okay, as long as Ji Yulu is fine, even if the farm is completely destroyed, it can be rebuilt." Duke said calmly.

Compared with the evolution of the chicks, the money on the farm is not important at all, even if he is willing to subsidize the money to raise the chicks, the elves are the key.

Since the farm was fine, Duke chose to replant Ji Yulu.

After returning, Duke thought of one more thing: "Mulali, take my public account Linglong card and buy a shuttle in installments. There is no shuttle, and it takes too much time to go back and forth."

The sedan isn't fast enough.

The speed of the shuttle is comparable to the maglev train, and it is the best travel tool in the urban area. If it is not for the poor defense effect, there will be no problem with the route.

It's just a flying shuttle that costs thousands of gold and dragons, and Duke can't afford it for the time being.

Fortunately, the shuttle agent offered installment payment. Duke was reluctant to buy it before, but now he has experienced a bug crisis, so he gritted his teeth and chose to pay by installment.

The procedures are handled quickly, and the agent has a dedicated team to run the procedures.

When it was time to get off work that day, Mu Lali had already driven the shuttle back to the mage tower, but Duke didn't get started immediately.

He's in a meeting in Penrose's office.

Penrose came back together with the assistant of Vikas. As one of the sixteen third-ring arcane mages in Shenjiao City, who is in charge of the Union Tower, he fully participated in the entire dragon hunting operation.

"No one thought that the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon would be so vengeful that it would attack Shenjiao City not far away, chasing Williams and Irwin." Penrose said seriously, "Thanks to Lord Keyston Only when you deal with it properly can you repel this bug."

"Teacher, is the dead arcanist Lannick?" Orianna asked.

"Not only Lannik, but also two 1st-ring arcane mages also died. The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon's methods are too strong. We lack combat experience and failed to protect them well."

Shenjiao City has been peaceful for too long, except for the batch of arcane mages who often go to the battlefield, the rest of the arcane mages stay behind closed doors to do research all day long, and they are too unfamiliar with battles.

After a pause, Penrose continued: "After a short discussion in the Union Tower, it was decided to hold a public burial ceremony for the three arcane masters in three days, and all arcanists must participate. And for the descendants of the three arcanists, refining Spirit beast blood."

"Refining the blood of spirit beasts?" Sanfis exclaimed, "Can the descendants of ordinary arcane masters also refine the blood of spirit beasts?"

Penrose glanced at Sanfis, and seemed to understand his thoughts: "Refining the blood requires the help of an arcane master. There is only one arcane master in the wind breath field. Without his nodding permission, ordinary arcanists should not think about this kind of thing." Good thing."

Sanfis smiled awkwardly, and was embarrassed to say any more.

He does have an idea, for the benefit of his descendants, to refine the blood of spirit beasts, so that future generations can get in touch with the extraordinary faster.

But when he heard the need for an arcane teacher to take action, he died down.

Arcane masters with 7 rings and above can be called arcane instructors, and there are not many arcane instructors in the entire Seven Towers Federation.

A mere ring 1 arcane mage might not even be able to enter the home of the arcane mage, let alone ask the arcan mage mentor to refine the blood of the spirit beast.

"Mentor, what kind of spirit beast blood can Lannick's descendants get?" Blanke asked.

"As a 2nd-level arcane mage, Lannik will apply for the blood of the 5th-level black jade scorpion for him, and the other two 1st-level arcane mages will apply for the blood of the 4th-level vicious hornet and the 4th-level angry beetle to comfort the three The sacrifice of an arcanist."

The bloodline of the spirit beast is to refine the spirituality of the bloodline of the spirit beast into the bloodline of the human being, so that human beings can inherit the spirituality of the spirit beast.

Once the spirituality of the spirit beast in the blood is stimulated, great benefits can be obtained.

For example, the Black Snake bloodline of the Black Snake family was refined from the 5-ring spirit beast - the multi-headed black-necked snake. Once promoted to 1st ring, it can stimulate the Black Snake bloodline and greatly increase its strength.

This kind of spirit beast bloodline may be useless to high-level arcanists.

But for the knights of the family, it is equivalent to raising the strength of a level-the same two ring 1 knights, the knight with the blood of the spirit beast will crush the knight without the blood of the spirit beast.

The same is true for low-level arcane mages. Having more spirit beast blood is like adding an instant arcane technique.

For many small nobles, it is difficult to produce a high-level arcane mage in a few generations, and they rely on the family's blood knights and blood arcane mages to maintain their status.

The higher the level of the spirit beast, the stronger the bloodline.

But at the same time, there will also be disadvantages, that is, the difficulty of awakening bloodlines will increase accordingly.

The same is a blood knight, the blood refined by a 5-ring spirit beast may be awakened by a 1-ring great knight; the blood refined by a 7-ring spirit beast may only be awakened by a senior 1-ring great knight; It is likely that a 9-ring Eudemons Knight will be required to awaken.

Therefore, for arcane masters who want to start a family, the blood of the 9th ring may not be a good thing, but the blood of the 5th and 7th rings is a better choice.

"Teacher, is there any news from the nearby market town? Is Snake Town also invaded by the swarm?" Duke asked.

"The news hasn't come yet."

In the end, Master Penrose simply gave the disinterested people a holiday: "Everyone is tired today. Tomorrow, the Master Tower will rest for a whole day. Everyone doesn't need to come here."

……

The brand new shuttle is parked in the castle garage.

It's a pity that Duke lost the excitement of changing to a new car because of his concern for Snakehead Town, and returned to Beverly Manor with his worried assistant.

"The message delivery is too late." Looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, Duke thought to himself.

Airship battles need to rely on semaphore to communicate, and postmen and owls are needed to deliver letters between market towns and cities, so timely communication is impossible at all.

"However, there seems to be a special way of communication between big cities, no need to rely on owls to send letters... And the method of the projection ring of the Great Arcanist, the idea descends to the clone, is also a fast remote communication... What I want to make up for is basic communication! "

After returning to the villa, he made a list and asked his followers to go outside to buy materials.

He wanted to find out the existence of electromagnetic waves.

No, to be precise, it should be called spiritual magnetic wave, because there is no such energy source as electricity in Manghuang Continent. Duke tried hand-operated power generation before, but he was surprised by the result that no electricity was generated.

Later, he finally understood that the material structure of the Manghuang Continent might be fundamentally different from that of the earth.

One is the physical world and the other is the extraordinary world.

After all, the underlying logic of the world is different, so it makes sense, there are similarities and similarities, but there are also great differences.

"There is no electricity, then I will find an existence similar to electricity-spiritual energy!"

The entourage soon bought back the materials he wanted, some spiritual gold threads and thin rods of spiritual gold. He wanted to use these materials to make a simple antenna to receive the spiritual magnetic waves in the surrounding air. If he could receive the spiritual magnetic waves, then Communication industry can be expected.

Thanks to the fact that he dismantled the TV antenna in his hometown in the countryside when he was on earth, he has a certain understanding of antennas.

Soon an antenna made of spirit gold was erected on the large terrace of the villa, and one end of the antenna was connected to a water basin with a spirit gold thread.

While pouring psionic energy into the water basin, he released the mage's hand arcane spell into the yard.

The mage's hand composed of fluorescent light is fleeting.

There was no reaction in the basin.

"The spiritual magnetic wave passes through the 'antenna' I designed. It is reasonable to say that it should be able to vibrate the spiritual energy in the water basin, thereby forming water waves on the water surface...but the result is not. Is my antenna not accurate enough, or is the principle wrong?" Du Ke shook his head, then communicated with Xiaoyi.

"Master, please order."

"Help me analyze whether the experimental principle of the spiritual magnetic wave is wrong."

"Master, the experimental principle of the spiritual magnetic wave requires more actual measurement data to determine whether the principle is valid." Xiaoyi responded.

"Okay." Duke could only rearrange his experimental ideas and design a new antenna.

He was busy until midnight before he took a shower and went to bed. He was going to spend a long time observing the possibility of spiritual magnetic waves.

The existence of spiritual magnetic waves will not be denied just because they cannot be detected for a while.

The next day.

The weather was just right and the sun was shining brightly.

The postman owls in Sheshou Town and other market towns have all arrived at the United Tower and reported to the Union Tower in Shenjiao City that they are safe.

Not a single market town was attacked.

Villa NO.17 of Beverly Manor also received a letter from the postman owl, stating that the Black Snake family has withdrawn from Cuihai Valley, and will no longer send missions to Cuihai Valley in a short time.

"Little Lili, are you at ease now?" Duke handed the letter to Mu Lali.

The girl suddenly laughed happily: "Yeah."

When he didn't have to go to work, Duke stayed in the villa, continued his experiment with the magnetic wave antenna, and constantly improved the antenna structure to find traces of the magnetic wave.

Three days passed quickly, and on March 3, a grand public funeral ceremony was held in Shenjiao City.

The corpses of the three arcane masters who died in the swarm of insects have been pieced together, and they are preparing for a public burial at the Linghai Wharf in the north of the city.

Linghai Wharf is not a real wharf, but a high platform.

Public burial is not about burying the body in the ground, but burning the body with spiritual light until there is no residue left.

Arcane masters believe that the spirit can crush everything, and the soul can return to the real spiritual sea.

"Returning to the spiritual sea is the destination of all arcane masters. Although we can no longer explore the palace of spiritual arcana, we can integrate with spirituality. Wherever the spiritual sea extends, the arcanist can see where it is, and we will continue with the spiritual sea .”

Assistant Vikas looked at the corpse being burned by the light of spiritual energy, and whispered softly.

Duke doesn't believe that.

People cannot be resurrected after death, and what is integrated with spirituality is nothing more than the ecological cycle of material decomposition and return to nature.

"Actually, there are many arcane masters who don't believe this statement, and Baines from the cabin in the woods is one of them."

Duke read Baines' experimental notes and could clearly feel Baines' desire for longevity.

That's why Baines embarked on a taboo experiment to study the soul container, preparing to transfer his soul into the container to last forever.

"May the spirit still be with you, and may the sea of ​​spirits protect you forever." Count Kiston Rage personally presided over the public funeral ceremony, and burned the bodies of the three arcane masters with spiritual light, "Lannick, Bills, Dzeko, a partner in the journey of exploring the truth, after a brief parting, we will meet again."

"Woooooo..." The family members of the three arcane masters began to sob and cry.

Afterwards, the 360 ​​nine arcane masters in Shenjiao City, except for those who had gone out and did not return, all of them, as well as several arcane masters from Bernoulli's mage's tower, picked up a small blooming daisy and placed it on the dead body. On the high pier.

Express condolences with daisies.

"I will do the same one day. Will I burn the corpse on the high platform?" Sanfis put down the little daisy and turned to Duke.

Duke bent down to put down the little daisy, and replied flatly: "As long as you can die of old age, you won't be burned."

"Well, I will definitely strive to be able to die of old age. Of course, it would be even better if I could not die of old age."

"Think beautifully."

After putting the little daisy, the public funeral ceremony will end, and such a big person as Keyston Rage will still be interviewed by reporters.

Naturally, Duke and others had no reporters to interview, so they returned to the Mage Tower and continued their work.

In the afternoon, Faling Tower sent a letter to Duke, opened the letter, and inside was the paper publication receipt sent by Malotav Sage, Mage Tower.

"Hi Master Du Keao, you have submitted an article "Analysis of Practical Spiritual Materials for New Strange Spiritual Beasts in Cuihai Valley" to my journal. It has been reviewed by our review editor and has certain academic value. It has been approved and will be published in the next issue of "" Moisturizing City Spirit Card."

"Beautiful!" Duke clenched his fist and cheered up. "The first paper was approved. Although it was published in a local journal, it is still the first step in scientific research!"

I didn't tell anyone about this joy, and I plan to wait until the next issue of "Runwu City Spirit Card" is released.

Read the letter.

After calming down the excitement, Duke returned to the table and began to study the spiritual magnetic wave antenna, preparing to design a more accurate antenna to observe the spiritual magnetic wave.

After drawing out ideas on paper and collecting the structural data of several materials, Duke ordered Xiaoyi: "Simulate calculations."

"Good master, we are simulating calculations for you. The process will take about three days." Xiaoyi responded.

After the experiment gradually got on the right track, Duke no longer needed to repeat the experiment step by step in every detail, and could hand it over to Xiaoyi to simulate.

When unknown data emerged in the simulation, Duke took over and experimented in reality.

So after Xiaoyi took over, Duke took the time to continue studying the goal he had set before—the 1-ring slide card.

"It's really interesting to be busy every day." Looking up from the experimental table, Duke stretched his waist.

Dangdang.

Mu Lali knocked on the door and came in: "Sir, Director Vikas invites you to his office, he has prepared a new research topic for you."

"Really." Duke responded lightly.

He was not so keen on the subject in the mage tower, but he still went to the office of the assistant Vikas.

Director Vikas didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic: "There just happened to be a new research topic in the past few days, and I think it is more suitable for you."

"What subject?"

"Research on the replacement effect of Cuihai Valley's new spiritual materials in the spiritual energy release channel and spiritual energy infusion channel of the spiritual storage card." Assistant Vikas handed a document to Duke, "It was distributed by the instructor A batch of topics, I picked this for you."

Duke looked at the document and asked, "Is the tutor studying the spirit card?"

"Yes, the instructor is a card making scholar in the civilian card field. He has improved many civilian card structures and can get a lot of research resources from the United Card Shop." Vikas smiled.

The United Card Shop is a large company that spans the entire Seven Towers Federation, and almost all the spirit cards in the entire Fengxi field are manufactured by the United Card Shop.

Even if it is only a local branch in Shenjiao City, it can still be described as making money every day.

The entire Shenjiao City can match the income of the joint card store, basically it is the Hibidi Spirit Mining Company that mines the spirit mine.

As the only card making scholar in Shenjiao City, Penrose was specially hired as a consultant by the United Card Store, and he can share a lot of benefits from the United Card Store every year.At the same time, it is also necessary to do some necessary research on the improvement of the spirit card for the United Card Shop, and the entire mage tower is basically serving this purpose.

Duke thought for a while, and then took over the subject: "I will start researching it as soon as possible."

The subject is not difficult, he can coordinate and direct, and the specific experimental operation can be completely handed over to the spiritual apprentices.

With Xiaoyi helping him design the plan, there is no need to bother.
