Chapter 207 Jokes
Portable lamps are very popular, but few people ask about the aura lamp.

From the beginning of the lighting war, it showed an overwhelming situation.

However, the market in Shenjiao City itself is so big, and the total population of the entire Heijiao River region is only 900 million. Even if each person has a portable lamp, the sales of lamps are limited.

So the real battlefield is in the entire wind breath field.

Duke launched this business war, but he didn't continue to follow up. The plan was already made, and now it only needs to be implemented step by step.

He can't do everything by himself.

It's time to calm down and focus on the practice itself.

"Recently, the number of leave is a bit frequent, but it's also strange. The tutor doesn't seem to mind your leave at all."

Vikas, the assistant, would come to Duke's office from time to time to stroll around and share some information with him.

Duke said with emotion: "At the beginning, I thought the instructor was unreasonable, but after in-depth contact, I realized that the instructor is cold outside and hot inside, and he can tolerate anything I do outside the tower. As long as I can keep up with his teaching progress, nothing will happen. question."

He really thinks that Penrose's mentor is a good person.

Originally, Penrose was very indifferent to him. Even if he showed a good talent, it didn't change anything. At one time, he thought that Penrose didn't like him.

but now.

You only need to set aside one Thursday afternoon every week to accept Penrose's teaching. No matter what Duke does at other times, Penrose can tolerate it.

Very easy to talk to.

"It's you, with good talent, the instructor will tolerate you so much, and you don't even mind that you study with Your Excellency Suktara." Vikas shook his head and said, "If it is the old Sanfis, [-]% will be rejected The instructor will be fired directly."

"However, Sanfis has changed his luck. I heard that in the Scott Mage Tower, his studies went very smoothly, and he successfully demonstrated his medical talent."

"But medicine is just a small way, and the future of treating diseases for ordinary people is really limited."

"Maybe." Duke said perfunctorily.

Although the Seven Towers Federation has gradually abolished the aristocratic system, the arcane masters are still uncrowned nobles, standing high and not looking down on ordinary people.

Even polymaths who claim to benefit the bottom of society and promote social development are just exploring spiritual mysteries through natural science.Polymaths don't care much about whether natural history can benefit the common people.

If one were to open up the Three Seas and become a monk, it would be a complete rebirth.

Then becoming an arcanist is another qualitative leap, basically completing the extraordinary changes, and no longer living in the same world as the public.

"By the way, how is your arcane card production going?" After chatting for a while, Vikas began to investigate Duke's studies.

"I'm trying to make a ring 1 arcane card - the hand of the mage. It's expected to take another month, and it should be able to be successfully made."

During this period of time, although he was half-hearted, doing research, starting a company, and learning alchemy, he still kept practicing his card making skills every day.

There are more than 1 kinds of common 30st-ring civilian cards, such as Spirit Dragon Card, Chuling Card, Magic Lantern Card, Driver Card, and Faling Card.

Compared with civilian cards that only need to be engraved with spiritual power, arcane cards are more complicated, so he hasn't succeeded in making one yet.

In each production, there are countless changes in the use of spiritual power of different attributes, which requires a lot of exploration.

Although Xiaoyi has super computing power, it is like a supercomputer.

But it is only artificial intelligence after all, not real wisdom, and all kinds of analysis of spirituality are based on big data.

In other words, Xiaoyi is the ultimate embodiment of rationality.

It's just that the spiritual mysteries studied by arcane masters are not all composed of rational parts, and there are also a large number of emotional parts.

For this part of the analysis, Xiaoyi is a bit clumsy, and Duke needs to grasp it.

then.

Duke felt deeply that there was actually a huge gap between himself and the title of "Genius Arcane Master".

According to the example given by Penrose's mentor in his teaching, an arcane mage with card-making talent will follow spiritual guidance in the card-making process and choose the most accurate one among thousands of combinations.

This is the emotional part of the spiritual arcana.

It is also the reason why the spiritual mystery is called "spirituality".

Without this part of perceptual ability, one cannot become an excellent card maker, and Duke is precisely weak in the perceptual part.

"I have Xiaoyi's help, but the emotional part is not good enough. As long as the rationality is strong enough, I can still make cards skillfully... A real card maker, spirituality will guide him to draw the spell model in the most appropriate way. I rely on Xiaoyi to use it." Calculating in a stupid way, each other!"

He felt emotional.

Assistant Vikas didn't know why, and he was also feeling emotional: "Although I think you are too distracted and don't put enough energy into card making, you have performed better than any student I have ever seen. .”

After a pause, he continued: "So for a genius arcane master like you, I don't need to make decisions for you, you can allocate your study energy by yourself."

"You have helped me a lot, and my success is inseparable from your teaching."

"Haha, I don't dare to do it." Assistant Vikas said that he didn't dare to do it, but the expression on his face was quite smug.

If Duke can succeed, he can get some credit along the way.

in this way.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-October, and the sales department of the Giant of Light continued to attack, and achieved certain results in the eight regions under the jurisdiction of the Wind Breath Domain.

However, with the 3rd Ring Arcane Mage Kleinda visiting the Spike City in the Saponaria region, and socializing with the 3rd Ring Arcane Mage Mesta in the Spike City, there was a large-scale distribution of lights in the Spike City, Low price dumping generally hits sales of portable lights.

Afterwards, Rainbow Bay City in the Bubble area, Angle City in the Fire Oil area, and Blade Edge City in the Knife Trial Mountain area all sold a large number of aura lamps at low prices.

It has a bad influence on the sales of the light giant's portable lamp.

"My lord, the Runwan family has already made a move. Five of the eight major regions have been strongly blocked by the Runwan family." Vial came to the Penrose Mage Tower and reported to Duke, "However, our legal department, According to your previous instructions, we have sued Runwanjia for infringement in eight cities in eight cities."

Duke responded while flipping through the newspaper: "Then follow the established plan and fight the Runwan family with swords and guns. Don't be afraid of anything. As long as the Runwan family can't cover the sky with one hand, we will fight him to the end, and the stall will be exhausted." possible expansion."

"clear."

"Go ahead, tell me if you don't have enough money, at worst we'll raise another round."

"Don't disturb you, sir, you are working, I will go back to make arrangements, and strive to win sales in more than four regions as soon as possible."

After get off work in the evening, Duke went straight to Tower 1 after dinner.

Before the teaching started, Suktara asked: "Is there anything I can do for the competition between the Giant of Light and Runwanjia?"

She is the internal director of the United Tower, although she is no longer in charge of things personally, as long as she wants to ask about the big and small things that happen in Shenjiao City, no one can hide it from her.

"Teacher, everything is under control, and I haven't deviated from my plan yet. If something unexpected happens, I will ask you, teacher, for support."

"It's good if you have confidence." Suktara said gently, "Oh yes, I asked His Excellency Erwin during the meeting at the Union Tower today. He said that the Erudition Tower has applied for the title of Erwin for you , At present, Runwucheng Boxue Tower has accepted the application and is under investigation."

"Applied for the title of polymath for me?" Duke was pleasantly surprised, "Isn't it? Just inventing a portable lamp, is it eligible to apply for the title of polymath?"

"Don't underestimate the portable lamp. Your Excellency Erwin has a very high opinion of it. And I found that many people in the castle have already bought portable lamps, especially the knights who patrol at night. Each of them has a portable lamp, which can be seen. Influence."

"This is really a surprise." Duke laughed.

In fact, it is not surprising that the invention of natural history pays attention to two aspects.One aspect is value, and the other is practicality.

There is no need to repeat the inventions of great value.

Practicality is also the key point of natural history. An invention may not have so much technical content, but it can be popularized and benefit the public. Then this invention is also one of the major inventions of natural history.

The value of a portable light lies in its practicality.

"The competition between the Giant of Light and Runwanjia, and the infringement turmoil between the Portable Lamp and the Emmanuel Lamp may have a certain negative impact on your examination of the title of polymath." Suktala said, "But if you come up with a strong After the hand lamp technology, there will be no more obstacles."

"Having said that, if we don't hurt Run Wanjia, His Excellency Clarinda will attack the Giant of Light sooner or later, so I can only wait and hide a hand of cards."

"Clarinda, this man is used to domineering."

"Teacher, can you tell me about His Excellency Clarinda? In the book "The Spirituality of Heijiaohe Land", there are not many descriptions of him."

"Klarinda..." Suktara fell into memory.

Kleinda was a generation younger than Suktara, and was born in a non-noble family of arcanists. She had shown outstanding talent since she was a child. After being promoted to an arcanist, she chose arcanists as her future direction of evolution.

All the way to advance to the 3rd ring smoothly, and with outstanding military exploits, established a great reputation, it is considered that sooner or later he will advance to the 4th ring.

It's a pity that God didn't want it.

During a battle to open up a foreign land, Clarinda was severely injured by a sub-dragon, and even the spiritual core in the spiritual sea was shattered.

Although after being rescued later, the spiritual core was re-condensed.

But the broken and reassembled spiritual core is already difficult to make progress, especially in the cultivation of arcane arts, it is difficult to make a single step.

As a last resort, he decided to settle for the next best thing, trying to find a way in the field of arcane magic.

It's a pity that he didn't have the talent of an arcane scholar, and he didn't research one, two, three in any field. In the end, he inherited the family's Runwanjia Spirit Artifact Factory and devoted himself to making money.

"Maybe it's an obsession. I guess he really wants to get a scholar title to prove himself." Suktara shook his head and said, "It's a pity that none of the patents he can buy can meet the standard of a scholar title. Really good inventions, who will sell them, this is the foundation for the promotion of polymaths."

talking.

Suktara mentioned a joke: "It is said that a few years ago, Clarinda went to the Tower of Learning to make a fuss, and almost got into a fight with Lord Erwin."

"How do you say that?" Duke became interested.

"It seems that Clarinda bought a patent called continuous feeding patina technology from somewhere, and asked Erwin to apply for the title of polymath for him. Erwin thought that the invention was not high enough and refused to apply for him, so he asked There was a commotion."

"Ah!" Duke exclaimed.

Suktara gave him a strange look: "What are you, arcane masters are also human beings, and naturally have emotions and desires, so it's normal to have some friction."

"No, teacher, how should I put it... The matter of Your Excellency Clarinda is still rooted in me."

"In you? What do you mean, you weren't an arcanist a few years ago, you were just a child who didn't grow up?" Suktara didn't know why.

Duke smiled and said: "To be precise, when I was 15 years old, I was working in a card repair shop. I didn't have half a penny in my pocket. In order to collect money to buy the spirit potion, I racked my brains to find a way out, and finally I thought of a good idea."

He talked about the story at that time: "I saw the card repairers using the pulp box to dig and search, and I wondered if it would be possible... I sold this idea to the shop owner at the time, and the shop owner told me Me, he sold it to someone else..."

"It's such a coincidence that you were the one who invented the patina supply technology?" Suktala was really surprised.

"I invented it well, but I have already sold it. Since it was bought by Clarinda, it is his technology."

"Haha, you're quite open-minded, but don't you mind if the teacher shares this fun thing with friends outside?" The Suktara is old-hearted, smiling like an old urchin, obviously fighting in his heart. What a bad idea.

Duke smiled: "I don't mind."

After going around and around, the technology of even supplying pulp and patina fell into the hands of Clarinda, which just gave Duke a chance to ridicule the other party.

"Want the title of polymath?" He smiled secretly in his heart, "You can come and ask me, but I may not give it to you."

After chatting about the mundane affairs, calm down, the master and the apprentice started teaching, one taught sincerely, the other studied sincerely, time passed quickly.

……

"Philbert, how are you doing these days?"

"Teacher, I spend my days in Faling Pagoda every day, but you always got what you wanted, found a suitable successor, and kept smiling." Philibel, the director of Faling Pagoda, smiled and pulled up her former teacher, Suktarah's arm.

After supporting Suktara to sit down, she smiled again: "I also heard that you are so cruel that even Sorel was driven away by you."

"That boy Sorell, alas, it's a pity to say it. I originally thought that if I couldn't find a successor, I would use him to make do with it... But who would have thought that spirituality brought Duke to me. This child is A born arcanist."

"When you mention Duke, you are full of praise. It seems that Duke really fulfilled your wish."

"Isn't it? Speaking of Duke, I think of a funny thing." Suktara's ruddy face was filled with a smile, "Klarinda made a joke of you in the Learning Tower two or three years ago. Do you still remember, the continuous supply patina technology he bought, I just found out that it was invented by Duke!"

"Ah, it turned out to be like this, what a coincidence."

Not long after, Philibel, who was dawdling around, invited her two sisters who were good arcane mages to have dinner, and then made a joke out of it.

Erudite Tower.

Aziguli, the director of the legal department, looked at his secretary indifferently: "Is the lawyer of the Giant of Light still making trouble?"

"Yes, my lord, those lawyers didn't act out of line. They just pulled the other person when they saw a person, and talked to the other person about the case against the Runwan family by the Giant of Light, and said that they lived in a hotel not far away. , designed to wait for processing results."

"Tricky move!" Aziguli sneered, "The arcane masters from the countryside know such tricky tricks, so don't worry about it."

The secretary didn't leave, but hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

Aziguli frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"There is something that I don't know whether I should tell you."

"Say!"

"Yes, my lord, I heard it from the outside... It is said that it is the continuous supply and patina technology that Mr. Clarinda made a fuss about in the Boxue Tower before. The original inventor turned out to be His Excellency Duke. Your Excellency Ke sold the technology in order to save money to buy spirit awakening potions."

"Is it true?" Aziguli frowned even deeper, "Even the technique of supplying pulp was invented by Duke?"

"I have asked about the source. It is said that it came from several arcane masters. There should be no mistakes, right?"

"Okay, what a mess, it doesn't matter if it was invented by Duke, the patent is in the hands of Kleinda, that is Kleinda's invention!" Azigul said with a sullen face, "Warning those employees who spread the word , keep your mouth shut!"

"Yes, I will warn those employees who gossip." The secretary left in a hurry.

Aziguli corrected a few documents in the office, checked the time, got up and went to the conference room of the Boxue Tower for a meeting.

In the conference room, Chief Director Erwin had already arrived early.

After seeing Aziguli, he greeted with a smile: "Come and sit down first, there are still two people not here, let's wait."

"Okay, chief director." Aziguli sat on her chair upright.

Erwin put one foot on the chair without any image, leaned to the other side, and said in a normal way: "Azigul, let me ask you, you are familiar with Kleinda, there is a matter I don't know if you know clearly."

"Please ask."

"Recently, Runwanjia has had a lively fight with the Giant of Light. In the case of patent infringement, what does Kleinda think? Is she really going to continue to infringe?"

"Chief director, the infringement case is still under trial. I am collecting relevant evidence. It may be too early to declare infringement now." Azigul pushed back neither soft nor hard.

"You are in charge of the legal department, you have the final say, ha ha." Erwin smiled, "I just want to ask, when Clarinda made troubles in the Bo Xue Tower last year, did the continuous supply and patina technology in his hand come from I bought it from Duke, and it’s quite lively even with the pressure.”

Several other arcanists echoed Erwin and laughed.

The meeting room was full of joy.

"It's groundless, the chief director, why use it as a joke." Only Aziguli didn't laugh, and put the joke back with a cold face, "Besides, since patents are allowed to be traded, why is buying and selling patents so ridiculous?" !"

Erwin didn't care about Azigul's attitude at all: "Of course patents can be traded, and our Erudition Tower also encourages trades, but it's a big joke to use the patents we bought to attack the title of Erudite. Fortunately, I I didn’t apply for him, otherwise I would be ashamed to meet Duke.”

"I only know to follow the rules, but I'm not interested in going back to the source. Besides, the sale of patents is all voluntary, and I don't cherish it. Why should others complain for him?"

"That's what I said, but the polymath still has to rely on his real skills to fight for it, don't you think so?" Erwin looked around at the crowd.

Several Arcane Masters nodded one after another: "That's the truth."

Aziguli looked on coldly, and stood up when she saw this: "Am I here for a meeting or a chat? Chief director, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Okay, you have to be busy, you don't have to attend this meeting." Erwin waved his hand.

Aziguli got up and left directly.

After the meeting was over, Erwin returned to his office. After the secretary closed the door, he immediately asked, "Grandpa, why did you offend Your Excellency Azigul again?"

"So what if you are offended, you are the chief director of the great grandfather, and you were elected in a friendly manner?" Erwin picked up the teacup and stuffed it into the hands of the secretary and great-grandson, "Hurry up and pour water for the great grandfather." , you want to get involved in any major matter."

"Isn't this harmony making money? Besides, there has never been any conflict between our family and His Excellency Azigul's family."

"Actually, your great-grandfather has long seen that Aziguli and Kleinda were upset. The two colluded together and relied on Runwanjia to snatch patents everywhere. I didn't know that they thought Runwanjia was the Tower of Erudition." Erwin With disdain on his face, "It's too ugly to eat."

"Isn't everyone doing this?" the secretary muttered. In his opinion, it was only natural for arcanists to monopolize resources.

"He can grab any bowl of rice, but he can't grab the rice from the Boxue Tower. This is your great-grandpa's place!"

"Grandpa, when Master Keyston has retired, you must not go to the Union Tower to sit in command!"

"Hehe, retreat?" Erwin stretched out his leg and kicked his great-grandson, "I think about Keyston's retreat all day long, so he is really willing to retire, wouldn't there be Williams and Stephen Maverick competing with me, besides , Heh, he may not be willing to retreat."

"But Master Keyston has said in public several times that he will retire."

"Just talking, whoever is serious is stupid."

"How can you be so dishonest..."

"Oh, my great-grandpa really thinks that I want to send you outside to hone my skills, and keep you by my side. I feel like I've raised a fool."

Erwin looked at the innocent great-grandson, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Tomorrow, you hand in your resignation report yourself, and go outside to find a place to hone. I don't care where the hone is trained. In short, don't appear in front of me before you are promoted to Arcane Master."

"Ah, great grandfather!"

"Get out of here."

After driving away his favorite great-grandson, Erwin is still a little upset.

Suddenly he thought of Suktara: "This old woman is thicker than me... I should have been thick-skinned and asked Duke to come to me. Such a good seed was snatched away by Suktara! Isn't it good to be an alchemist, a polymath?"

If we say that the invention of the portable lamp can only be regarded as an accidental inspiration.

Then, knowing that the technology of continuous supply and patina was invented by Duke, Erwin understood that Duke's talent in natural history is absolutely extraordinary.

What's more, there is also the built-in spirit card technology, which is also an invention that he admires quite a lot.

"Blessed with such three technologies, a title of polymath cannot be escaped. If I become his teacher, this will definitely be a big plus when evaluating the title of polymath and sage in the future!" Erwin rubbed his chin , "Do you want to grab it?"

After thinking about it, I finally let out a long sigh: "Forget it, the old woman and I are old acquaintances. We have known each other for more than 100 years. It is really embarrassing to rob students."

Suktara, who didn't know that his student was almost robbed, was sorting out the notes for many years in his mage tower at the moment.

Her 160 years of life.

Concentrated on the field of alchemy, I don't know how many experiments I have done, how many notebooks I have left, and I have long forgotten some research topics.

Now take it out and tidy it up, which is just convenient for teaching Duke.

"Since 50 years ago, I have devoted almost all my energy to the direction of ring reproduction materials. Alas, the most regrettable thing is that I failed to advance to the 4th ring, and personally experience the structure of the projection ring."

Suktara wiped the dust off his notes and turned the pages, feeling mixed feelings.

For the past, for the future.

There are too many thoughts.

After a long time, she slowly closed the note: "When Duke is on the right track, I will let go of this old face, and also ask for Keyston Rage, Williams, Irwin, Stephen Maverick, and that Bernoulli, cooperate with me to cast the ring of projection and do the last experiment!"

The precious experience left by the experiment was her last help to Duke.

It is also her last effort in the direction of ring reproduction materials.
