Studying Science in the Alternate World

Chapter 230 Scar on the Earth

The airship follows a course, and the warship follows a straight line.

The battleship Canglan flies much higher than ordinary airships, but it doesn't enter the clouds casually.

The clouds are filled with mist, which is likely to interfere with the direction of the battleship.

Duke sat on a comfortable leather sofa chair, and the translucent porthole in front of him allowed him to overlook every land, mountain and river that the battleship passed by.

High mountains, big rivers and rainforests, green grasslands, blue lakes...

The warships flying in a straight line pass through uninhabited primitive jungle areas, which retain the most spectacular scenery.

Just a wind domain, the geographical scene included is all-encompassing.

Duke was dizzying along the way.

"Murali, go ask the service desk, is the boundary of the Wind's Breath domain still out?" Duke ordered casually.

"Okay, sir." Mu Lali left with light steps.

During this trip to the Holy City of Alpha, Duke brought a lot of people, not for the sake of ostentation, but purely to take care of his basic necessities.

Mu Lali, Mu Lashan, and Vivian are indispensable; Levin is responsible for taking care of Xiaodou; the cook, Aunt Virginie, is in charge of cooking to prevent Duke from getting used to the food in the Holy City of Alfa; Andre and Victor are two attendants who are responsible for running errands.

There are also two legal staff, responsible for handling emergencies; two financial staff, in case Duke has an idea, they can operate at any time; four male and female servants, serving tea, cleaning, washing clothes and other miscellaneous tasks.

In addition, there is a team of guard knights.

The captain is no longer Vivienne, but the 2nd Ring Eudemons Knight-Herdos, the patrol knight captain of the Suktara Mage Tower.

This was given to Duke by Suktaras.

Although the Holy City of Offa is the holy city of the Seven Towers Federation, there may not be any sudden crisis. Bringing Herdos can at least share a little threat for Duke.

A few minutes later.

Mu Lali came back with a middle-aged man: "Sir, this is the travel guide at the service desk, Great Knight Dunn."

"I have met Lord Duke." Dunn bowed and saluted.

"You're welcome, Dunn, please sit down." Duke said with a gentle attitude, "You should have been to many places with the battleship Canglan. I need you to clarify my doubts. Where are we now?"

"Lord Duke, take a look at this map first." Dunn spread a map on the table.

This is a global map of the Seven Towers Federation.

The map looks rough, or crude.

But in fact, it is very detailed, but there are too few human cities and market towns on it, resulting in too few signs on the map.

After all, the Seven Towers Federation is vast and sparsely populated. Its area may be larger than the landmass of the entire earth combined, but its population is only a billion or so. Along the distribution of spiritual springs, there are sporadic dots in the jungle.

"Lord Duke, our current location is roughly here, the Black Sore Hill." Dunn pointed to the map and said.

Then he signaled Duke to look down through the porthole: "These undulating hills are the Black Sore Hills. To the south of it, there are faintly visible black spots, which are the gravel city in the rock cave area."

The Rock Cave area is one of the eight areas under the jurisdiction of the Wind Breath Domain.

"Flying out of the Black Sore Hills, will you leave the Wind's Breath Domain?" Duke asked referring to the map.

"Yes."

"I'm curious, this hill is lush and lush, why is it called such an ugly name as the Black Sore Hill?"

Dunn replied: "Master Duke, you will know in a while, please wait a moment."

As the battleship continued to move forward, a dark area suddenly appeared in the undulating virgin jungle of the Heicang hills, which seemed to be formed by a fire.

and.

There are more and more such dark areas, like abscesses, growing deep in the primeval jungle.

"What are these black areas?" Duke asked curiously.

"It is said that it is related to the ancient evil, but I don't know the more specific situation. Maybe you, Lord Duke, can ask us." Dunn shook his head. He is just a great knight, not Bai Xiaosheng.

"Okay." Duke stood up straight away.

These dark areas, dotted on the black sore hills, somehow made Duke feel a little sinister.

So he simply got up and went to Siskoli to ask.

As the owner of the battleship, Siscily didn't enjoy the whole trip, but transferred part of his laboratory to the battleship.

In this way, you can fly and study at the same time.

When Duke walked to the door of the laboratory, there were no knights guarding here except the service personnel.

Duke cleared his throat.

At this time, a huge dragonfly outlined by fluorescent light suddenly appeared on the closed door of the laboratory.

Between the flapping of the wings, a little bit of starlight is sprinkled.

There is no doubt that this is an ancient spirit. Duke smiled and said, "Your Excellency Darth, I'm looking for Master Siscili."

The compound eyes of the big dragonfly leaned in front of Duke, looked at it for a long time, and then responded: "Siscoli invites you in...but I can also answer your question, that is the scar on the earth, left by the evil gnawing on the earth. scar!"

As the battle spirit of the Canglan battleship, Darth Dragonfly knows every move in most areas of the battleship.

Duke's question to Dunn is naturally no exception.

"Earth scar? Abomination?" Duke wanted to ask again, but the door of the laboratory had already been opened, so he went to Siskoli first.

Siskoli has already put away the experiment: "Das said you asked me for advice?"

Siskoli, who is a 6th ring sky arcanist, is temporarily unattainable for Duke in terms of level.

But compared to the study of spiritual mysteries, Duke is far ahead of him.

Because Siscili only has two titles of scholars, but no title of sage—a sage must make a great contribution to the spiritual arcana, and many arcane masters have a deep understanding of the spiritual arcane, but it is difficult to make a breakthrough innovation.

Each has its own strengths, so Duke is not weak in front of Siskoli.

Neither humble nor overbearing.

"There are some doubts. The black sore hills we are flying over at this moment are said to be related to ancient evils. I want to know if this is the case."

"That's right." Siskoli did not deny, "You are about to be awarded the title of sage, and you are qualified to know more. In fact, these ancient evils are collectively called gods, and they are the opposite of spirituality."

"The opposite of spirituality?" Duke wondered.

Siskoli said in detail: "The abomination feeds on spirituality, and especially likes to devour the spiritual spring. When it swallows the spiritual spring, it will leave scars on the earth like the black sore hills, only in our wind breath domain. , and dozens of earth scars were found."

"In the Cuihai Valley of our Heijiaohe Land, there is a forbidden place where the shells of ancient evils were found. In this way, this is also a sin. The place where it was discovered is located under a spiritual mine, so it is also a scar on the earth?"

"I led the team to deal with the Cuihai Valley."

Siskoli shook his head and laughed, and then said: "The shell is indeed left by the evil, but it is the shell shed by the young evil, and it has not swallowed the spiritual spring, so it is not a scar on the earth, at most It's a scar."

Then Siscoli further explained: "The scar is a wound on the surface of the earth, which is harmless; but the scar penetrates deep into the earth. If the spiritual spring exudes spirituality, then the scar exudes evil, and even arcanists will be affected. "

"Such a scar on the earth, why not get rid of it?" Duke asked.

"It's easier said than done. After the abomination devours the spiritual spring, it becomes one with the earth. Not to mention that I can't deal with it, even if the master of arcane magic comes over, I can't do anything about it." Siscili shook his head and said, "I can only let it It exudes evil nature and is enclosed as a forbidden area."

"So, there are countless forbidden places in the Seven Towers Federation?"

"That's right, and these earth scars are still different. In the early years, many arcane mages strayed into them and became fallen demons... It is said that in the earth scars, the secret of being promoted to the 9th ring is hidden. Built a mage tower and studied it in depth."

"Nine rings..." Duke blinked.

He has Nine Rings Xiaoyi, and sooner or later he will get to Nine Rings, so he probably doesn't need to enter the scar of the earth to do research.

After asking about the scar of the earth, Duke no longer bothered Siskoli and left.

Back in his guest cabin, he continued to overlook the land over which the battleship flew.

"Now that the battleship has flown out of the Black Sore Hills, we should have entered the territory of the Lanyun Domain, but the Canglan adopts a direct flight mode and will not pass through the cities of the Lanyun Domain." Great Knight Dunn explained.

The battleship has a large amount of energy and material reserves, so it can fly all the way without stopping to resupply.

I flew for a long time.

Dunn said solemnly: "Lord Duke, the high mountain you see now is called Tianying Mountain. This mountain range stretches for thousands of kilometers, like a knife traversing the entire Lan Yun domain. It is also the most dangerous area."

"Dangerous?" Duke asked curiously.

It has been three or four days since I flew all the way, and I haven't seen any danger.

Basically, the spirit beasts flying in the sky, seeing the huge size of the Canglan battleship, are very sensible and avoid it in advance.

There were no spirit beasts that took the initiative to come forward to seek death.

"In the Tianying Mountains, there are a large number of 5-ring spirit beasts - golden-winged falcons, and some golden-winged falcons can break through the 5th ring and evolve to the 6th ring. They have a strong sense of territory and attack in groups."

Dunn continued: "The routes in Lan Yun's field will basically avoid the Skyhawk Mountains. Ordinary airships cannot withstand the group attack of golden-winged eagles."

During the conversation.

The Canglan has already started to climb up and climb the slope, rushing into the clouds at an altitude of several thousand meters, trying not to disturb the golden-winged falcons in the Tianying Mountains.

but.

When entering the range of the Sky Eagle Mountain Range, I still saw a few huge hawks flying from the cliffs at the top of the mountain range, then charged towards the clouds, and flew around the Canglan in the blink of an eye, screaming non-stop.

"Buzz!"

An alarm sounded inside the battleship, signaling all passengers and crew to hurry up and get into their fixed seats.

The great knight Dunn got up and said goodbye: "Master Duke, I am going to the combat position."

"I'll go with you, just arrange a battle cabin for me, I want to try the strength of these golden-winged falcons." Duke got up without hesitation, and followed Dunn to the battleship's battle cabin.

Since the successful development of Sand Eagle 1.6-Burst Edition, he has only hunted a few times in the forest near the castle.

Did not encounter a powerful spirit beast, to test the true power of the Sand Eagle.

When he entered the battle compartment, the transparent glass allowed him to clearly see the golden-winged falcons wandering around the battleship.

Each one has a black body and golden wings. While screaming strangely, it condenses arcane magic under its wings.

It was a metallic arcane art, mutated from earth elements.

Like long metal knives, they slashed at the battleship, crackling the shell of the Canglan battleship.

At the same time, the battle cabin of the battleship Canglan also unleashed countless long-range grudge martial arts attacks, which were released by the guarding knights, but compared to the 5-ring gold-winged falcon, this attack is really not enough.

However, accompanied by a huge pale hand, condensed on the side of the battleship, a golden-winged falcon that was so arrogant that it wanted to peck at the hull of the battleship, was directly grabbed by the big pale hand, and then smashed into a ball of minced meat.

"It's a 4-ring Arcane Art - Pale Hand, which is compounded by the hand of a mage. It is the standard configuration of a great arcane mage."

Xiaoyi faithfully broadcast battlefield information.

The 4th ring is a watershed. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rings below the 4th ring are all independent individual arcanes, with unique spell models; the 4th, 5th, and 6th rings are basically compound arcane The spell is formed by nesting and combining the spell models of single arcane spells.

The pale hand is the spell model of the hand of the mage, piled up and nested continuously, forming a big hand that covers the sky and the sun.

"Master Siscoli has made a move." Duke nodded slightly.

Just as he was about to make a move himself, a pair of compound eyes of a dragonfly suddenly appeared on a pillar in the battle cabin.

It was the battleship Battle Lindas: "You can't participate in a battle of this scale, 2-ring Arcane Master Duke."

No doubt Duke was despised.

However, he was not irritated, and just smiled lightly: "It's better than the output of the big knights, right."

"Great knight?" Warling Darth taunted, "They are only worthy of cleaning the battlefield and salvaging the corpses killed by Siskoli and me."

"You can fight too?" Duke found the blind spot.

Zhan Lingdas snorted coldly: "The Canglan is me, I am the Canglan, my strength is enough to crush any spirit beast!"

Immediately, he felt the entire Canglan battleship tremble, and then dozens of columnar protrusions protruded from around the battleship.

These protrusions are clearly engraved with arcane patterns.

The lines lit up together, and the next moment, countless flaming spears rose around the battleship, as if shooting from the columnar protrusions, blooming all over the sky, and I don't know how many golden-winged falcons were shot, and they were killed on the spot.

"It is a 4-ring Arcane-Extreme Flame Spear, which is compounded by a 2-ring Arcane-Fire Dragon Diamond and a 2-ring Arcane-Fire Spear."

Xiaoyi quickly returned the information.

Duke felt awe-inspiring, with such a ferocious attack power, it's no wonder the battleship Canglan dared to cross the Tianying Mountains.

"How?" Zhan Lingdas's entire head protruded from the pillar, "We don't need the weak to take action on the battlefield. You are just a 2-ring arcane scholar, not even an arcanist. Go back to sleep."

The Elder Spirit's character is eccentric, and War Spirit Darth seems to like to despise Duke.

certainly.

Contempt of this magnitude had no effect on Duke.

He just smiled lightly: "I can't sleep, come and play, Mr. Das, don't keep staring at me, just stare at the golden-winged falcons outside, look, there is another large flock of golden-winged falcons flying from the mountains below."

"I have thousands of clones, and one of them is staring at you." Darth War Spirit was unmoved.

Duke was unimpressed.

With a thought.

A white crystal arm condensed out of the battle cabin, with five fingers spread out, it was the hand of the Arcane Artifact.

In the palm of Ao's hand, the Sand Eagle pistol has already materialized.

Across the glass shell of the battle cabin, Duke controlled the Austrian hand with his mind, holding the Sand Eagle pistol, aiming at the golden-winged falcons flying randomly in the surrounding clouds.

"Disruptor bomb!" Duke thought to switch bullets.

Then Austrian hand pulled the trigger.

There was a puff.

A garuda falcon was shot, then staggered as if drunk.

"Armor-piercing rounds, tracking rounds!" Duke switched bullets again, and after pulling the trigger, a round of armor-piercing rounds shot out.

Gold-winged falcons move without a track.

The armor-piercing projectile was about to pass the edge of the Golden-winged Falcon, but suddenly the bullet turned a corner and precisely penetrated the Golden-winged Falcon's eyes.

The eyes have the weakest defenses and are connected to the brain.

The golden-winged falcon, which was knocked out by the jamming bomb, had no intention of dodging at all, and was directly brain-pierced by the armor-piercing bullet.

Unable to maintain the flying posture any longer, he fell headfirst.

After falling halfway, he was shot by a bow and arrow with a hook, and then dragged into the Canglan battleship.

"Yo." Darth War Spirit stared at Duke, and naturally saw Duke's operation, "You actually killed a golden-winged falcon, Duke, a 2nd-ring arcane scholar, you impress me, but relying on It’s just an arcane weapon.”

Duke chuckled: "You were a big dragonfly in ancient times, I think, at the end of your corpse's decay, the mouth must be left."

"What's the meaning?"

"Because your whole body is the hardest with your mouth."

"This is a bad joke." Darth War Spirit was not angry, but fell into nostalgia, "Let me think about it, I drowned in the spiritual spring, and I saw the process of my body completely decomposing .”

Its tone was a little lonely: "First, the stomach rotted, and then the internal organs of the head and chest rotted. At that time, there was only a shell left in my body... Finally, even the shell melted and merged with the spiritual spring."

Then he sighed heavily: "I just disappeared like this."

"But your spirit will last forever with the spiritual spring. If your spirituality does not dry up, you will never die again."

"You don't understand." After Darth War Spirit finished speaking, he quickly went back to the pillar and disappeared.

"What don't I understand?" Duke asked, but the Darth War Spirit didn't appear again, so he had to focus on hunting the golden-winged falcon outside.

The power of Sand Eagle 1.6-Burst Edition is far beyond imagination.

Especially the combination of special effect bullets makes its hunting effect super strong, and even 5-ring spirit beasts can be easily hunted and killed.

"The effect of the jammer is really good!" Duke praised.

This elemental bullet does not have any lethality, so it is difficult to cause a defensive warning in terms of spiritual judgment.

After the warning of the spirit beast is lifted, and then shoot with other bullets, the spirit beast will be hit 100%.

But it's not a hundred trials.

For example, Duke shot a jamming bullet and shot a huge golden-winged falcon. The opponent just shook his head and returned to normal.

So the next armor-piercing projectile cooperated with the tracking projectile to lock its eyes, but when it had no time to fire, it turned its head. The armor-piercing projectile hit the feathers on the top of the golden-winged falcon's head, but it couldn't even penetrate the feathers.

"Lost the weak point attack, and the armor-piercing projectile almost loses its deterrent effect against high-level spirit beasts."

Duke didn't believe in evil, so he simply switched to the burst mode, and directly bombarded the golden-winged falcon's head with more than a dozen jamming bombs.

The golden-winged hawk screamed and curled up, ready to defend against the attack.

This made it impossible for Duke to start.

However, at the next moment, a huge 4-ring arcane spell - the pale hand, directly grabbed this golden-winged falcon that might evolve to 6-ring level.

Give it a hard pinch.

It didn't crush the Golden-winged Falcon, but it also crushed the bones, making it impossible to survive. Also at the 6th ring level, the strength of an arcane mage absolutely crushes spirit beasts—this is the gap in cognition of spiritual arcana.

One is preying on instinct, while the other hunts with the rules, which can be called a dimensionality reduction blow.

"The golden-winged falcon with the 6th ring is hard to kill. I'd better pick the golden-winged falcon with the 5th ring to test the gun." Duke quickly accepted the reality.

In fact, Sand Eagle's ability to hunt and kill 5-ring spirit beasts has already surprised him greatly.

Pooh!

Disruption bombs go first, followed by tracking bombs and armor-piercing bombs. After a set of procedures, if the 5-ring golden-winged falcon is not killed, Duke will make up another procedure.

Sometimes the surviving golden-winged falcons, under the stimulation of pain, can't be disturbed by the jammer. Then Duke will switch the burst mode, and the armor-piercing projectile will cooperate with the tracking projectile to highlight a saturated attack.

The golden-winged falcon with 5 rings, after all, still has to drink its hatred under the gun of Sand Eagle.

"Fixed another one, continue!" Duke has long been aware of the sand eagle's bullet switch, and focused on killing the small golden-winged falcon.

However, this hunting feast did not last long.

Under the double protection of Darth War Spirit and Siskoli, the Canglan passed through the Aquila Mountains safely.

The Golden-winged Falcon, which left behind a large number of corpses of its companions, watched the battleship sail out of the territorial airspace, and no longer attacked fearlessly, and returned to their nests on the rock wall with screams.

"Seven."

Duke dismissed the Olympic hand and Sand Eagle, and left the combat cabin contentedly.

In this brief battle, he alone hunted down seven gold-winged falcons with a rank of five rings. For a ring two arcanist, the result was brilliant.

not for a while.

The flight attendants brought a golden-winged falcon meal, including barbecue, braised in soy sauce, and clear stew... The chefs in the restaurant showed eighteen cooking skills to make this whole meat feast of golden-winged falcon .

"Well, the taste is... not bad." Duke nodded after tasting it.

These ingredients are rich in spirituality, but the taste is not that brilliant, and even the meat is a bit dry.

It's not that the higher the level of the spirit beast, the better it tastes.

In fact, the meat of most high-level spirit beasts is too solid to be suitable for cooking.

"Eat along with you." Duke called to Mu Lali, Mu Lashan and Vivian, "Sit down together, I don't pay attention to these rules here."

Eat and drink enough.

Duke took the three of them into the guest room to chat.

The guest room has a special isolation layer, which can isolate the prying eyes of the battleship war spirit. Duke also uses the breathing method to keep an eye on the movement of the Darth war spirit, and confirms that it cannot cross the isolation layer and spy on the guest room.

The ancient spirit is integrated with the battleship and the mage tower, and can enter and exit from any place.

Although they are not human beings, most people care about their privacy, so there are special isolation layers in battleships and mage towers.

Shield the perception of the ancient spirit, so that guests can rest assured.

"Sir, let's play poker together." Mu Lali suggested with a blushing face, "I want to win back the money I lost last time."

Duke took out a box of poker: "That depends on your ability."

"I'm not afraid, but sir, you don't allow card counting. Once you count cards, no one can win you."

"Don't worry, I don't count cards." Duke replied.

He wouldn't need Xiaoyi's assistance to play cards with the people around him, otherwise it would be a bit too despicable.

It is unreasonable to use a super calculation to play a card!

The game of cards is enjoyable and harmonious.

Happy days, time always flies by.

flash.

After a week-long flight journey, I finally arrived at the destination of this trip, the Holy City of Offa.

It was a huge emerald-colored lake. On the water surface in the middle of the lake, stretching buildings stood, forming a majestic and spectacular city skyline.

Sky, water.

The real city and the illusory city are integrated into one, as if the two cities are stuck together.

Eighteen snow-white long bridges extend continuously along the mirror-like water surface, like six endless silk threads, firmly fixing the city and preventing it from swaying with the lake water.

Suddenly.

On the calm lake, a figure leaped out and smashed heavily into the lake.

Even before it landed, the battleship Canglan, which was still a thousand meters away from the lake, could hear the voice of that figure.

Low and distant.

But full of loneliness, like weeping like complaining.

"Ah, I heard the familiar whale song again." Siscoli appeared in front of the porthole at some time, and sighed with a smile, "Whale song Mirror Lake, this is the most magical lake in the wild continent! "

Half is a lake, half is a spring.

Half of it has whale songs, and the other half has spiritual transpiration.
