Chapter 306: [Dudian Day] (2 in 1 Chapter)
July 30, cloudy.
After yesterday's heavy rain, the air was relatively humid and icy cold with the breeze blowing. The weather changes heralded the coming of the terrifying black snow season. The high sacrifice platform in the Holy See of Light and the square has been built, and a large number of people have gathered on the platform. Below, surrounded by the statues of gods on the high platform, although the ceremony has not yet officially started, the people have already begun to pray devoutly.
On the same day, at dawn.
The chief director family of the Scott Consortium, in the Chai family castle, a figure entered secretly from a dark passage on the side of the castle, followed by the two figures waiting at the entrance to an underground secret room in the castle. , took out a secret report from his arms, and through the faint oily light on the wall, it was faintly visible that the cover of the secret report was engraved with nine surrounding star cities. Nobles are familiar with this sign, which symbolizes the main institution of the Holy See of Light - the Temple of Elements!
An old man wearing a black mask in the secret room seemed to know the identity of the person who was coming. He quickly took the secret report and opened it. It was a short poem by a famous poet. He glanced at it and his pupils shrank suddenly. , the fingers holding the secret report trembled slightly, and after a while, he restrained his shock and said hoarsely, "Go ahead."
The shadow who handed out the secret report did not speak, just nodded, then quickly turned and left.
After the black masked old man watched him leave, he packed the secret report, turned around and entered through another secret passage in the underground secret room, bypassed several corridors, and came to a basement where sundries were stored. He turned around and twisted the wall. The agency closed the door of the secret basement under the junk basement, took off the mask, put it away in his robe, walked out of the junk basement down the stairs, and came to the lobby of the old castle.
He glanced at the ancient clock on the wall that was more than 60 years old. It was still early at the moment. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. His mood returned to calm. work."
"Yes, butler." The maid manager promised to see the old man.
The scorching sun was just born, and the warm sunlight shone on the windows of the old castle. The young lady and young master of the Chai family all woke up one after another. Some of the younger third-generation descendants huddled under the covers, unwilling to get out of bed.
At seven o'clock, all the young ladies and young masters came to the hall, even the third-generation descendants who liked to sleep in, because at this time, their grandfather, the head of the Chai family, Chastov, would get up on time and come. Going to the hall to enjoy breakfast with everyone is the way of life of their Chai family, and no one dares to go against it.
However, today, the young ladies and young masters of the Chai family were waiting in the hall, but they had not seen their grandfather for a long time. They couldn't help being anxious and surprised. In their memory, Chastov never got up late, and his life was like a marionette. It can be shown that there are more important things waiting at Chastov's bed, and such things are usually the business of the consortium.
For a time, everyone in the hall had different thoughts and speculations.
in Chestov's room.
Looking at the secret report handed by the old butler, Chastov rubbed his eyes, took the secret report, and stretched out his other hand.
Putting on his glasses, Chastov slowly opened the secret paper, slowly browsed it, slowly closed the secret paper, and handed it to the old housekeeper. The expression on his face did not change much, and his thick eyebrows were full of majesty and thought The depth is impenetrable, it seems that there are countless thoughts, and it can see through endless hearts.
"Master..." The old butler looked at him inquiringly.
Chastov was silent for a moment, and said, "This time, at all costs, take this thing down!"
"Yes." The butler nodded respectfully.
Chastov put on his shoes, got out of bed, changed his clothes, and went to the hall with the old butler. All the young ladies and young masters of the Chai family in the hall stood up, maintaining awe.
After Chestov was seated, everyone took their seats one after another according to their identities.
The old butler handed today's morning newspaper to Chastov, knowing that he likes to read the newspaper during breakfast, which saves time and is more efficient.
The first newspaper that Chastov picked up was not the newspaper of his own consortium, nor the newspaper of the nobles, but the newspaper of the military department. For him, what would happen to his consortium and what would be reported in the newspaper tomorrow. The news, he had long expected, and at his height, the only thing that can shake the status and foundation of the Scott Consortium, there are only two aspects, the first is the military department, the second is the Holy See of Light, and now the border war The situation is unpredictable and unpredictable, and he can only rely on military newspapers to understand that this war, which will sacrifice tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers, is not a life-and-death struggle for him, but a fortune in business.
His famous quote is: "Where there is struggle, there is business."
This sentence has influenced many wealthy businessmen, and it is also the reason why he has regarded it as a business principle all his life!
"Relying on the geographical advantages of the fortress and the military magic, you are still at a disadvantage?" Chastov pondered, "These savages who rely only on brute force have learned to use tactics, which is interesting."

On the same morning, the Huasheng Consortium, the Mellon Consortium, the Krylov Consortium and other five consortiums all received secret reports from their internal staff in the Temple of Elements. When the above information was confirmed, all the consortiums such as The silent behemoth comes to life at the break of dawn.
When Chastov woke up from the bed, the daily divine art in the temple had been distributed to all the castles. The silent morning was suddenly broken by an uproar, and all the castles were full of shocking exclamations.
On the front page of the Divine Art Daily, seven striking characters appeared: Du Di'an's New Divine Art!
In particular, the three characters of lightning rod at the back use the special logo color of the Divine Art Daily, which means that this item is a divine art item!
The same newspaper was also sent to Du Di'an's castle and appeared in Du Di'an's hands. When he saw the news on the headlines, a faint smile appeared on his face. as predicted.
"Mr. Du Di'an, the youngest recipient of the 'era' medal in history, who is only 16 years old, has released his third magical work today, following the epoch-making legendary work [New Textile Machine] and a four-star mid-grade [military crossbow]. Later, the third magical work [Lightning Rod] came out!!”
"[Lightning Rod], just seeing the name, many people will wonder, isn't Mr. Du Di'an a wooden god? The author also thought so, but Mr. Du Di'an told me with facts, what is 'genius' and what is 'extraordinary' ', everyone's guess is not wrong, as the name says, this is a lightning magic! Yes, the lightning, the most destructive lightning in the element temple!"
"According to the identification of the Divine Art Temple, it was jointly confirmed by Master Ibiza, Master Kesi, and Master Mickey.
Du Di'an read the words in the newspaper. Although there are some exaggerated modifiers, they are generally good. At least people can't pick out any faults. To his surprise, the grade identified by the lightning rod is actually higher than that of the military crossbow. !
Four-star high-grade, this is already close to the work of a fifth-grade master!
Du Dian thought for a moment, and then guessed, "The military crossbow is a military product. Although it has a great role in war, it can kill only a limited number of enemies, and it can only be used during war, but the lightning rod is a civilian product, and it can be used. Items that protect the lives of civilians can also save people's lives. This is offset by the military crossbow. As a kind of military weapon, the two sides do not rely on each other's weapons. And who has the strongest weapon, the role of the military crossbow is to dominate the mid-range combat. If a better weapon appears, it can replace the military crossbow's position in this field, and the military crossbow will also be discontinued and become It is worthless, the only value is the combat concept of the weapon itself."
"But the lightning rod is a work of lightning, and it is also the first magic work of Jubi that can defend against thunder attacks. It is an underestimate to be rated as a top-grade four-star. If they understand the core principles of lightning rods, the magnetic field of electric energy, etc. In every respect, it is not an exaggeration to rate it as a five-star work.”
In any case, in his expectation, the lightning rod can reach the four-star mid-level value. After all, the identification of the Temple of Elements depends not only on the work itself, but also on the current situation, environment and other factors to judge.
Du Dian saw the second news in the newspaper below, and it was also about him. One person occupied all the headlines and the second page?
"After the temple statistics, Mr. Du Di'an's magic points accumulated, he has reached the level of high-level gods, and from today, he will be promoted to senior gods..." Taking a glance, Du Di'an came to his senses and almost forgot the points, indeed, continuously Making two four-star works is indeed enough to be promoted to a high-level angel. You must know that when an ordinary person is promoted to a high-level angel, they only produce one four-star work, and then accumulate enough points by accumulating a large number of two-star and three-star works. Promotion, this is also a rigid requirement of the temple, no matter how high the score is, if you want to be promoted to a high-level god, you must have a four-star magic work.
In the same way, the intermediate god envoy must have a three-star magic work.
Like the master in the temple, the difficulty has increased a lot. You must make two five-star divine arts works to become a master. Therefore, there is a huge difference between the master and the angel.
Nicotine standing behind Du Di'an saw the newspaper Du Di'an was reading, his pupils contracted, revealing a strong shock. Although he knew little about the Temple of Elements, he still remembered that he had a relationship with a junior god envoy of the temple when he went around. However, now, Du Dian is already a high-level divine envoy, and it can be seen from the newspapers that his status is much higher than that of ordinary high-level divine envoys.

...
Mount Degas, the ninth shrine.
Ibiza held the Divine Art Daily in his hand, and his face was ugly. Although with his relationship, he could find out who the creator of this Divine Art was before the newspaper was published, but he was too lazy to use the relationship. Anyway, God The art is not his, but he never thought that this magnificent thunder magic work would actually be the work of this person!
how is this possible?
How could a sixteen-year-old boy create a four-star top-grade thunder magic technique?
If Du Di'an made a new type of textile machine, it originated from a tailor's family and made a military crossbow, which is a talent, then what is it to make a thunder magic? Geek? genius?
He suddenly thought that a long time ago, this young man came to the temple for the first time, came here to visit him, wanted to be his assistant, and participated in a magical project he made at the beginning, but he was rejected. Unexpectedly today, the latter However, he has achieved such achievements in thunder magic by himself, and through this, he has stepped into the ranks of high-level divine envoys. If you only look at the identity and resume, it should be more gorgeous than any high-level divine envoy's resume.
He gritted his teeth slightly and threw the Divine Art Daily in his hand on the table.
...
in another castle.
Ascens ate breakfast with a smile, picked up the Divine Art Daily from the housekeeper and watched it. He was seventy years old this year. He knew that he had few years left to live, so he often reminded himself to be happier every day. In fact , There are really few things that can arouse his disgust and unhappiness in these years. Even if the magic technique fails, he doesn't care. After all, in his long life of magic research, the number of failures has long been innumerable. Qing, so he had already learned to laugh at failure, and he also taught his students this way.
However, when his eyes fell on the Divine Art Daily, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
When he looked down and slowly read the entire Divine Art Daily, the smile on his face had long since disappeared, the corners of his mouth twitched for a moment, he picked up his jacket, got up and left the castle.

Lane family.
Old Fulin looked at the Divine Art Daily in front of him, with a happy smile in his eyes, and said to Sandro next to him: "Look, I knew he would never do anything unsure, this time the lightning rod magic was born. , All the remarks released by the Mellon Consortium have to be swallowed back. It is estimated that tomorrow's Scott Consortium newspaper will ridicule the news agency of the Mellon Consortium. Adding a touch of brilliance, even if you accompany the singer, you can create a four-star high-grade magic technique, do you think it is powerful?"
Sandro couldn't help laughing when he heard his father's joke, and said, "So, the most powerful counterattack is your own strength."
"It's good if you understand." Fulin smiled and said with relief.
Sandro sighed with emotion: "It's hard to imagine that a sixteen-year-old commoner would appear in the sight of all the nobles every day, and completely occupy the first page of the Temple Daily, tsk tsk, maybe today should be called ' Dudian Day'!"
Fulin's eyes brightened, and he said with a smile: "Yes, this is a good opportunity to build momentum, you immediately contact the Huasheng Consortium and other consortiums, now that Dean is hot with bare hands, they are all willing to sell this favor and let them be in the future tomorrow. This is written in the newspaper of the , haha, from now on, this day is [Dudian Day]!"
