Starlight Wizard Tower, Workshop.
Su Nan put the newly created [Black Ting] into the Rubik's Cube. As the synthesis interface flashed, a brand new second-level witchcraft was released.
"The third one."
Su Nan took out Hei Ting and put it into the space ring. He looked at the three black spearheads engraved with runes inside, with a smile on his face.
With the addition of three [Forbidden Zones], he now has a total of six second-level witchcraft weapons in his hand.
It is difficult for ordinary second-level wizards to acquire even one second-level witchcraft weapon. It is rare for someone like him to have six of them at the same time.
No descendant of the true spirit has such luxury!
However, the three pieces of black thunder have consumed all the thunder stones he has collected recently. If he wants to make more, he must enter the thunder elemental plane again.
However, Sunan did not intend to do this. Three pieces of black magic were enough for the time being.
Turning around and coming to the table in the corner, Su Nan glanced at the table full of information.
In addition to synthesizing witchcraft, he has also been studying the alchemy body.
The craft knowledge given by Lize was very detailed. In addition to how to transform the alchemical body and the required materials, it also included eight types of alchemical carvings, many of which Su Nan was very jealous of.
For example, [Spiritual Storage] can accumulate a large amount of mental power in advance and be used to instantly replenish mental power consumption during war.
According to the description in the information, [Spiritual Storage] can contain up to the entire mental power of a second-level gasification wizard.
When fighting with opponents of the same level, a wizard with a [Spiritual Storage] mark is almost equivalent to having twice the mental power of his opponent. The advantage is self-evident.
Another example is [Talent Specialization], which can greatly enhance the effect of talent abilities.
After being activated, the effect of the talent ability can be temporarily increased, and the increase depends on the user's own level.
Like a second-level wizard, the enhancement range is generally between 30% and 50%.
This is undoubtedly a very amazing increase.
Take Sunan himself as an example. With the blessing of two super talents, he is enough to fight against the second-level crystallized wizard without using witchcraft and imprinted gems.
If you have this [Talent Specialization] imprint, you can easily suppress the second-level crystal wizard.
Coupled with the witchcraft and engraved gems, as long as you are not facing a third-level wizard, you don’t have to worry about meeting an opponent!
After browsing the information given by Lize, Sunan made a decision almost immediately. The two alchemical seals [Spiritual Storage] and [Talent Specialization] must be engraved.
But the problem that followed was that transforming the alchemical body was not as easy as imagined.
The transformation process of the alchemical body is actually to use various rare materials to transform the body, so that the body has the same magical plasticity as a scroll, and various enchanting properties can be added to the body.
This is a long process.
In order not to cause damage to the body, the transformation process must be subtle and gradual, ranging from twenty to thirty years to forty to fifty years.
If it was just like this, Sunan wouldn't think it was a big deal.
The life span of a second-level wizard is generally more than three thousand years, and it is not difficult to extend it to five thousand years through various means.
For a second-level wizard, forty or fifty years flies by in a blink of an eye.
The real difficulty lies in the materials.
Transforming the alchemical body requires the use of hundreds of rare resources including arcane gold, mithril, star-sinking steel, and sea-centred silver.
The most important material is Arcane.
This is a rare metal similar to mithril, with extremely excellent malleability and magic conductivity, but much more precious than mithril.
In so many years on the Starlight Continent, Sunan has never discovered arcane gold.
In other words, this is a material that is impossible to obtain at this stage.
"The transformation process of the alchemy body is quite special. The synthesis of the Rubik's Cube will not work. It seems that we can only study substitutes for arcana."
Su Nan soon had a calculation in his mind. .
In terms of researching new materials, one advantage he has over other wizards is that he has the golden finger of the Rubik's Cube.
Materials with target properties can be synthesized through various attempts, and the research difficulty is relatively lower.
It's just that it's not easy to develop a substitute for a precious material like Arcane. In addition to other rare materials that are also difficult to obtain and require the development of substitutes, Sunan estimates that it will take a lot of time.
“Let’s do it bit by bit, there’s no rush anyway.”
After coming out of the workshop, Su Nan teleported to the study.
Learning fourth-level spells has become one of his daily routines.
Compared with three-ring spells, four-ring spells are more powerful and difficult to learn.
Even with Golden Finger, it would take Sunan three to four months on average to master a fourth-ring spell.
Even he is like this. You can imagine the speed at which ordinary second-level wizards learn fourth-level spells.
Thanks to the fact that the lifespan of second-level wizards is long enough, otherwise many second-level wizards may not be able to learn a few fourth-ring spells until their life span is approaching.
In terms of practicality, there are quite a few among the four-ring spells that are eye-catching.
For example, [Dimensional Anchor] that blocks space and prohibits all teleportation spells.
[Secondary Spell Invalid Barrier] that can block the effects of spells from level 0 to level 3.
[Heavy Fog Technique] creates a dense fog that can obstruct vision and slow down movement.
There are also attack types [Aivar Black Tentacle], [Ice Storm], [Roar] and so on.
Su Nan plans to learn all the four-ring spells to be prepared.
Anyway, he learns quickly.
Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as Sunan devoted his energy to cultivation and research, sub-magic technology also spread at an alarming rate in the southeastern region of the mainland.
As the concentration of energy particles in the continent gradually increases, the speed of cultivating and forming secondary magic stone veins is also gradually accelerating.
Where some energy-rich leyline nodes are located, the formation speed of secondary magic stone veins is astonishingly fast.
As of the 1436th year of the Starlight Calendar, one small secondary magic stone vein and two medium-sized secondary magic stone veins are being mined under the jurisdiction of the Star Alliance. The output of secondary magic stone has increased by five or six compared to previous years. times.
The increase in the production of secondary magic stones has also led to the rapid popularization of secondary magic energy technology.
“This is the development of magic technology in the Southeast Region in the past ten years.”
Lize placed a document in front of Sunan.
“The situation is much better than we expected. The income of the Southeast Region has been growing in the past ten years. Last year’s income was more than double that of ten years ago. According to this momentum, if the entire Starlight Continent By promoting sub-magic energy technology, the Star Alliance's annual income will definitely exceed 50 million gold coins."
Su Nan opened the document and read it, and asked casually: "How long will it take for the remaining sub-magic stone veins to be available. Shaping? ”
"If the concentration of energy particles in the continent continues to increase according to the current trend, it will take about two hundred years."
"So long?"
"After all, the rest are large veins , it will definitely take longer.”
In order to maximize the use of each leyline node, the Star Alliance only opened up one small and two medium-sized mineral veins to warm up the promotion of sub-magic energy technology. The rest were all opened up into large veins.
Lize said: "Although it took a long time to wait, once all the large mineral veins are formed, the output will be enough for the entire Starlight Continent." This Sunan quite agreed.
Although the secondary magic energy technology in the Southeast Region is still in the early stages of development, and the demand for secondary magic stones has not yet reached its peak, the output of one small vein and two medium-sized veins is enough to barely supply the entire Southeast Region. The demand for secondary magic stones is enough to show how impressive the output of the mine is.
When more than thirty large ore veins are left to form, the output of secondary magic stones will definitely be enough to cover the entire continent.
After reading the document, Su Nan already knew the details of the development of sub-magic energy technology and sub-magic stone veins. He put the document aside and then asked about another matter.
“How is Starlight Academy doing lately?”
"Not bad."
Lize stretched out her hand, and a new document fell in front of Sunan.
“Perhaps due to the increase in the concentration of energy particles, more and more people have wizard qualifications in recent years.”
“At present, the total number of students in Starlight Academy has exceeded 23,000 There are 288 third-level wizard apprentices among them."
Su Nan nodded with satisfaction.
This number is already extremely exaggerated. The total number of wizard apprentices in Starlight Continent in the past hundred years may not be this many.
And it is foreseeable that the number of new students admitted each year will gradually increase in the future.
The number of students will not reach its peak until the concentration of energy particles in Starlight Continent is completely stabilized and the number of new recruits and dead wizard apprentices each year reaches a balance.
If nothing happens in the future, it should remain on the horizontal line.
By then, there will be at least 100,000 students in Starlight Academy.
This has basically reached the average number of wizard apprentices that a medium-sized human plane can produce.
The reason why large wizarding forces often have millions of wizarding apprentices is because they control multiple human planes and have a broad student base.
“What’s the number of wizards?” Su Nan then asked.
"Currently there are seven."
Su Nan raised his eyebrows. He remembered that there were five wizards before.
"Who are the two newly promoted people?"
"Sherman and Corey."
This answer was indeed somewhat beyond Sunan's expectations.
“When were they promoted?”
“Half a year ago.” Lize said, “They originally wanted to report to you about their promotion, but you were either in the training room or in the training room. Locked in the workshop, they never found a chance."
Sunan was speechless.
It seems that he is still a bit unqualified as a teacher, and he is not even aware of such a big thing as a disciple being promoted to a wizard.
"Yes, it seems that both of them are practicing well, so I, the teacher, can't treat them badly and ask them to come to the study later."
Su Nan paused. Then asked:
“Where is Atil?”
Lize shook her head: "Her qualifications are not good. No matter how hard she works, she can't be promoted to wizard through normal means."
Hearing that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in Lize's words, Su Nan asked with interest: " You mean, abnormal methods are enough?”
Lize didn’t say anything, but just glanced at the code on the table in front of her.
Su Nan was slightly startled, then frowned.
“You want Adil to transform into a ghost form like you, and then reshape your body?”
Lize said calmly: "Only in this way can Adil get more time and have a glimmer of hope to be promoted to a wizard."
"But this method is not 100% successful, right? It's better to say that there is a high possibility of death." Sunan frowned.
"I have already asked Atiel, she is willing to do this."
Su Nan was silent for a moment, sighing secretly.
Artil usually doesn’t seem obsessed with improving his strength, but he didn’t expect that he was so obsessed with being promoted to a wizard. He even resorted to such a method with a very high mortality rate, just to get a chance to be promoted to a wizard. possible.
Perhaps her usual behavior was just to cover up her frustration and low self-esteem due to her lack of qualifications.
After a long silence, Su Nan asked:
"I'm curious, why are you willing to help Atil extract his soul and transform it into a ghost form?"
Atil It was impossible to know Lize's experience. The matter of extracting souls and transforming them into ghosts could only have been told to her by Lize on her own initiative.
Given Lize’s character, it’s hard to imagine that she would do this.
Even when I mentioned this matter to Sunan now, I still wanted to plead with him on Adil's behalf.
Even if Adil is only a third-level wizard apprentice, the resources required to reshape his body will not be as amazing as Lise, but it is still a considerable expense.
At least for ordinary third-level wizard apprentices, the resources required to reshape the body are absolutely astronomical and cannot be paid, and even the contribution points earned over a hundred years cannot be redeemed.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Covenant to pay such a high price for a third-level wizard apprentice who does not have enough value.
Lize was silent for a moment and said: "Her temperament suits me very well."
Su Nan laughed dumbly.
Also, even a wizard is not a piece of wood without any emotions.
Atil has been staying with Lize for so long. One helps with various matters, and the other guides her practice from time to time. It is not surprising that the two of them have some feelings for each other.
Adil was his student in name, but in fact, he and Lize were more like teachers and students.
Thinking of this, Su Nan's heart moved, and he said with a half-smile: "The price of reshaping the body is not cheap. What are you going to use to convince me?"
".What do you want?"
"Revise the previous agreement. After reshaping your body, you will join the Star Alliance."
Lize's expression was slightly dull, and she rolled her eyes at Su Nan. Finally he nodded.
“Okay, I promise you.”
“Then it’s settled. I’ll leave the matter to you, Atil. Whatever you need, you can get it directly from the warehouse. If you’re lucky, it will work. If so, when the dimensional barrier is completely repaired in the future, I will reshape her body.”
After talking about the matter, Sunan didn't stay long and left the study directly.
Watching Sunan disappear, Lize shook her head and let out a chuckle.
After staying in the Star Alliance for so long and seeing the development potential of the Star Alliance, she had actually long had the idea of reshaping her body and joining the Star Alliance.
Even if it hadn't happened today, she would have brought it up in the future.
She knew that Su Nan had actually seen this, and the conversation just now was just a tacit understanding between the two of them.
Even if she doesn't pay the price, Sunan will agree to Adil's affairs.
After all, he was his disciple.
The Star Alliance will indeed not pay a huge price for a third-level wizard apprentice.
But if the third-level wizard apprentice is the disciple of the Star Alliance controller, it will be different. (End of this chapter)
