"I don't really understand, but I seem to understand." Xiaoji said seriously, "Duke, since I made a contract with you, I feel that I have become smarter. I can now think about why I didn't think about questions before.

Woolen cloth!"

"This is called red when you are close to red and black when you are close to ink." Duke laughed, "When you are with the red branches, what you learn is the thinking of insects. Only when you are with a wise man like me can you learn true wisdom.

Little chicken, watch and learn well!"

"Huh, I'm not a chicken, I'm a chicken. My grandma gave me the name!" Chicken hates it when others associate it with chickens.

Then he added angrily: "My grandma is the wise one, she has endless wisdom!"

"Then I have to introduce you solemnly." Duke held his head high and said loudly, "In front of you is the youngest erudite sage of the Seven Towers Federation, who is called the Son of the Sun, the Lord of Light and Shadow by the people, my wisdom.

Enough to change the world."

Then, he lowered his head and looked down at the chicken: "Do you still think your grandma is smarter than me?"

"Huh, I'm just smarter than you!"

"I see there is a bone in the back of your head."

Duke was not one to spoil the little chicken, so he just flipped over to him and played the little chicken until he screamed, "Duke, you big bad guy, you're a nuisance!"

After playing around and waiting for Xiaohong to recall all the burrowing army ants, Duke ordered Xiaohong to take the ants and board the Shadow Chaser airship one after another.

Depart for Lingya Mountain in Cuihai Valley.

Lingya Mountain has changed its appearance. There are pitted construction sites everywhere. The entire mountain is almost hollowed out and huge basements have been built.

The basement is built with the passage of the spring as the coordinates, all the way to another spring at the foot of the mountain.

The spring at the top of the mountain was named Yajian Spring by Duke, and the spring at the foot of the mountain was named Yagen Spring by Duke. From Yajian Spring to Yagen Spring, there are rail-laid ladders all the way, similar to the escalators in shopping malls on earth, but

Faster.

The land surrounding Yagenquan does not yet belong to Duke, so it is only surrounded by iron fences for the time being and nothing has been built.

However, several levels of basements were built illegally underground.

All basement floors are made of reinforced concrete, and the steel bars are mixed with a large amount of spiritual gold, which has a strong defensive effect.

Basically, level 1 and level 2 arcane spells cannot break the stone slabs in the basement.

"Lord Duke!" The members of the Broken Sword mercenary group guarding the construction site saw Duke and his entourage approaching and quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Stand your position." Duke encouraged.

Then he left most of his entourage on the ground and entered the basement with only his personal knight Vivian and Xiaohong's ant colony.

We were informed in advance that the construction workers had already evacuated the basement.

In the pitch-black basement, Vivian turned on the strong light she carried with her to illuminate the basement for Duke.

The chicken followed Duke, swimming forward and backward.

He couldn't stop talking: "Duke, where is Xiaohong's new home?"

"Below the basement, the entire Lingya Mountain and the surrounding areas are Xiaohong's lair." Duke said softly.

"The environment here is not good. Xiaohong's nest must have a part close to the ground. Otherwise, there is no way to grow jade dew and mushrooms in the nest. The previous red branch nest was built by my grandma under the guidance of my grandma. I want to do it now too."

Point out Xiaohong."

"You should have a rest. With your little knowledge, don't hurt Xiaohong." Duke ignored the snarky chick.

Now that the little chicken has been with him for a long time, probably due to the influence of his good qualities, the smell of the mouth is no longer so bad, only broken.

The chicken felt bored and turned around and swam to Vivian's shoulder: "Vivian, do you have any spiritual crystals? I'm hungry."

"Yes." Vivian took out a piece of spiritual crystal.

When I was feeding the chicken, I took the opportunity to touch the chicken's head with my hand. It felt quite good, and it was warmer than jade.

"Don't get stuck on me!" Xiaoji glared.

"You are wrong. Elves have no gender, and there is no such thing as a gender." Vivian replied seriously.

These words made Xiaoji stunned: "Really?"

"Of course." Vivian said sincerely.

The little chicken raised his two short legs and scratched his big head. He couldn't think clearly, or simply didn't want to, and chewed the spirit crystal.

Duke, who was walking in front, felt happy.

It's not Le Xiaoji, but Le Vivian. Vivian, who used to be upright and ignorant of style, has now become playful and knows how to tease chickens.

This is good.

It will add a lot of fun in the future.

Not long after, he passed through the dark, deep and complicated basement and arrived at his destination - guided by a map with a Dou Qi holographic screen, Duke would never get lost.

"This is the 'mother's nest' in the basement. Chicken, tell Xiaohong to build her own nest right below the mother's nest. Later, the eggs can be hatched in the mother's nest. This mother's nest is specially designed for Xiaohong by me."

Designed to be absolutely safe.”

Duke said.

The chick then turned to look at Xiao Hong and chirped a few times. This was its unique ability to communicate with ants with pheromones.

The basement of the Brood Nest is not very big, but the walls are obviously thicker than other places. There is a secret passage on the ground that is not sealed with a spiritual gold stone slab.

After receiving the instructions, Xiao Hong quickly directed her ant colony.

Then one by one, the huge burrowing army ants dug downwards along the secret passage. The arcane vibrations spread far underground. After a while, a simple nest was built. Xiao Hong waved his tentacles towards Duke.

Also followed in the lair.

In the future, Xiaohong's ant colony nest will run through the entire Lingya Mountain to protect underground safety in all aspects.

Leave the hive basement.

Duke activated the mechanism, and the heavy door of the basement slowly sank until the basement was completely sealed.

He will not allow the ant colony to meet more humans until it is completely tamed.

Only after they are completely tamed can they be like the Black Jade Family, driving the spirit insects to do various tasks, just like raising a group of servants.

Stayed for one night at Black Snake Manor.

Early the next morning, Duke set out and returned to Suktara Master Tower. In the evening, he accompanied Kilia Furious Waves to the star observatory.

In the astronomical telescope, the starry sky is particularly brilliant.

But there is no Milky Way in the sky, and I don't know whether it is because we are deep in the Milky Way, making the Milky Way not obvious, or whether it is no longer in the Milky Way.

"But what's the use of making sure it's the Milky Way?"

The diameter of the Milky Way is 180,000 light-years, which means that it takes 180,000 years for light to travel from one end of the Milky Way to the other.

The arcane mages of the Seven Towers Federation have not even been able to fully explore a deserted continent on their own planet, let alone travel beyond the planet.

"However, if I am promoted to the 9th Ring Sunlight Arcane Master, will I have a thousand years of life?"

"It will take me a thousand years to develop interstellar travel. Is it possible to cross the Milky Way and return to Earth for a look?"

Just take a look.

Thinking of this, Duke's heart skipped a beat.

Maybe this hope is slim, after all, I don't even know if I am still in the Milky Way, but this idea lingers strongly in my mind.

"I must go to the Tower of Stars later to see what results the Arcane Mage has obtained in astrology for thousands of years, whether he has predicted the galaxy he is in, and whether he belongs to the Milky Way!" Duke thought in his mind, "I still remember the Milky Way.

picture!"

It is a galaxy as graceful as a whirlpool.

"Duke, what are you thinking about?"

"Yeah." Duke came back to his senses, looked down at the beauty leaning on his arms, and smiled faintly, "I'm missing home."

"What time is it, and you already want to go home?"

"Haha, I'm lying to you. I'm not thinking about going home, I'm thinking about starting a family with you." Duke concealed his reverie with a smile.

No one in this world can understand what he is thinking when he looks up at the starry sky.

…

It's snowing heavily.

In the studio of the Phantom Industrial Base, which was decorated like a tomb, the actor who played Romeo was holding the unconscious actress, screaming in pain.

"No!"

Then he took out a bottle of poison, swallowed it directly, and fell next to the actress with bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

"Ka!" the director shouted, "I'm not emotional enough. Think about how you should perform the stage play. Your current performance makes me want to pick my feet with embarrassment."

"Director, let me think about it." The actor said quickly.

"Hurry up."
