"Sir, this is the result of the exploration of secondary magic stone veins in the past six months."
In the study, Artil used his mage's hand to put the documents on the desk.
Lize hummed, first approved the documents in her hand, and then picked up the exploration documents and browsed them carefully.
Atil stood aside and waited quietly.
The magic stone lamp hanging on the wall cast a bright yellow light, reflecting her body into an illusory translucent texture.
Atil thinks that his luck is pretty good.
Although he failed to be promoted to wizard, he survived the ghost transformation with a very low success rate and was able to continue living in this world in ghost form.
And the teacher also promised to reshape her body in the future.
At that time, she can still challenge the wizard again, and there may not be any hope of promotion.
Artil knew very well that under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the Covenant to spend such a high price for a wizard apprentice.
She was able to receive such treatment thanks to her teacher and Master Xingyun.
For this, she was very grateful to them and worked even harder to repay their kindness.
Not long after, Lize finished reading the document and nodded slightly.
"Yes, the cultivation progress is going very smoothly. It seems that it should be mined in more than ten years."
Lize looked up at Adil and ordered: "Start now. Get ready. Mining equipment and clay golems must be prepared in advance. When the veins are formed, they will be put into mining immediately.”
The early warm-up of sub-mana technology has been completed, and the effect is exceptionally good.
Whether it is in the civilian field or the military field, sub-magic technology represented by magic machines has been extremely popular, and the feedback has been excellent.
Now the entire Starlight Continent is like a volcano about to erupt. As long as enough secondary magic stones are put in, it will explode immediately, allowing secondary magic technology to usher in a spurt of development.
In less than a hundred years, sub-magic energy technology will inevitably sweep across the entire Starlight Continent and completely revolutionize productivity.
After that, the development of Starlight Continent will inevitably reach a higher level.
The Star Alliance will also have a broader space for development.
Adil wrote down Lize's instructions one by one, and planned to make arrangements as soon as he left the study.
Mining more than 30 large-scale mineral veins at the same time requires a large number of mining equipment and clay golems, and must be prepared in advance.
When it comes to the development of sub-mana technology, no detail can be ignored.
“One more thing.” Lize suddenly changed the subject, “The Star Alliance is preparing to form a new puppet army and needs a huge amount of materials.”
A new puppet army?
Atil was confused.
The Star Alliance now has two puppet legions.
One is the regular golem army of the Covenant, including three large golem legions and four medium golem legions.
And this number is still growing year by year, and it is expected that a fourth large-scale golem army will be formed within ten years.
One is the built-in golem army of the Starlight Wizard Tower.
The scale is only equivalent to that of a small golem army, but its combat effectiveness is more powerful than that of a large golem army.
This army of golems is usually only stationed in the wizard tower and is not easily mobilized.
To be honest, it is almost impossible for the Covenant to encounter large-scale wars now. Two puppet legions are enough. Artil doesn't quite understand why he needs to form a new puppet legion.
And when she got the establishment list of the puppet army, she was even more shocked.
Three hundred touch master puppets and fifty secret puppets!
This number is too exaggerated!
Atil knows that whether it is a master puppet or a marionette, they have the combat power to challenge a first-level gas wizard!
Why are so many wizard-level puppets created at once?
The key is the puppet army of this lineup. The cost of setting up is absolutely astronomical.
Seeing Adil's confusion, Lize had no intention of explaining more.
When Su Nan proposed forming this puppet army, she immediately understood his purpose.
This is preparation for dealing with the Throne of Darkness!
Only to deal with the Throne of Darkness are so many wizard-level puppets needed.
"Sir, there are so many materials, I'm afraid I won't be able to gather them all in a short time." Atil said with a frown.
Not to mention anything else, the material cost of fifty marionettes alone exceeds 20 million gold coins.
The cost of the Touch Master Puppet is relatively low, but the total cost of 300 puppets exceeds 100 million gold coins.
If it is just like this, it is nothing. With the current income of the Star Alliance, even if it only takes a quarter of the income every year, it will only take more than 20 years to collect the funds to form a puppet army. .
The key is that many of the materials used to refine Touch Master Puppet and Secret Puppet are rare materials with extremely low output and high demand.
For example, mithril, it would be impossible to get enough mithril to refine fifty secret puppets in forty or fifty years.
Lize naturally understood this, waved her hand and said: "It doesn't matter, this is a long-term plan, as long as it is completed within three hundred years."
Attil was relieved when he heard this.
That’s no problem, you’ll have a lot more time all of a sudden.
"Is there anything else?" Liz asked.
Atil came back to his senses, nodded quickly, and said: "Among the high-level sub-dragon race group in Longlin District 2, a Devilsaur with signs of evolution was recently discovered. How should we deal with it? Good?”
Lizzie raised her eyebrows, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She also knew about the Star Alliance's plan to increase the blood concentration of the sub-dragon species.
To be honest, she was not optimistic about this plan at first.
The power of the dragon clan is famous throughout the multiverse.
Raising dragons on a large scale is something even a third-level wizard would not dare to think about.
The wizard who established Dragon Forest in the first place was able to establish Dragon Forest because he was a descendant of the True Spirit and had connections and resources.
Su Nan’s desire to regain Longlin’s original glory as a second-level wizard was a bit taken for granted.
In addition to this, another reason why Liz is not optimistic is the difficulty in increasing the blood concentration of the sub-dragon species.
Individually increasing the bloodline concentration of a sub-dragon species and evolving it into a giant dragon may be possible if you work hard.
It can increase the bloodline concentration of an entire sub-dragon race group, and the difficulty will increase more than ten times.
Otherwise, if it could be done easily, those large wizarding forces would have cultivated a group of giant dragons long ago.
The original giant dragon group in Long Lin was also captured from outside to breed and thrive, not cultivated by itself.
However, Liz's idea was quickly broken.
She was then shocked to discover that the blood concentration of the sub-dragon racial group in District 2 was increasing at an incredibly fast rate. After careful study, she realized that the Covenant actually used dragon blood to increase the blood concentration of the sub-dragon racial group!
This cannot be described as luxury!
The key is that there is not even a giant dragon found on the Starlight Continent. The only remaining dragon blood basically comes from the inheritance of various wizards. It is left behind by wizards thousands of years ago. The number is very small. How did Sunan find so many dragons? Bloody?
Lize was puzzled.
However, after learning about this incident, her views on the plan to increase the blood concentration of the sub-dragon species also changed.
Maybe this plan really has hope of success.
What Atil said at this time undoubtedly verified this point. In less than four hundred years, individuals on the verge of evolution have appeared in the sub-dragon race. In another two to three hundred years, a group of giant dragons may actually be cultivated.
After thinking for a moment, Lize said: "Isolate the Devil Rex from the tribe temporarily, choose a secluded place to place it, transfer 100 standard units of dragon blood from the warehouse, and transform and strengthen it. , to speed up the evolution process."
After a pause, she added, "The transformation experiment is carried out by the wizard and is released as a task."
" Yes," Atil immediately recorded. Come down.
Then, she seemed to have thought of something, frowned and asked: "Sir, what if the Devil Rex evolves into a giant dragon, will it become uncontrollable?"
Lize also looked thoughtful after hearing this.
Unlike the sub-dragon race, the arrogance of giant dragons is innate and has invaded the bone marrow. They are difficult to tame, and they are not willing to be tamed.
Once it evolves into a giant dragon, it is indeed very likely that the devil dragon will become resistant to Long Lin's domestication and resist.
Although the Covenant has enough power to suppress this resistance, doing so only treats the symptoms rather than the root cause and is inconsistent with the original purpose of the plan.
The Covenant hopes to cultivate a group of dragons that can obey orders.
Lize does have several methods of controlling strange beasts, but these may not be effective against giant dragons.
I don’t know how the founders of Longlin solved this problem?
"This issue will be put on hold for now." Lize thought for a while and said, "I will discuss it with Sunan after he comes out of confinement."
"Is the teacher about to break through again?" Teal looked surprised.
In my impression, the teacher will retreat only when a breakthrough is approaching or when a long-term experiment is to be conducted.
"Yes." Lize also sighed with a look on her face.
Even though she has seen it many times, Sunan's terrifying speed of increasing strength is still difficult for her to understand.
It has only been more than two hundred years since he was promoted to the second level wizard, and he is actually about to break through again.
You must know that it took her more than 1,500 years to break through from the second-level gasification to the second-level liquefaction. This is already quite outstanding.
Visually estimated that Sunan will be able to break through to secondary liquefaction in at most three hundred years.
In such a harsh environment of Starlight Continent, it can only be described as a miracle that it can break through so quickly.
Coming out of the study, Adil met the marionette holding the code and teleported directly to the warehouse area.
The container she uses to fuse her soul is the same as Lord Xingyun, a code of law.
The teacher personally made it for her. All spells from level zero to level two are recorded on it for her convenience.
Arrived at the warehouse area, Adil began to count the materials used to refine high-level puppets, preparing to compile a plan and give it to Master Xingyun when he returned.
She couldn't practice in ghost form, so she had plenty of time to do the work.
When he came out of the warehouse area after finishing his work, Adil met Tatjana head-on.
"Jana, what a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence, I came here specially to find you."
A faint smile appeared on the dark elf girl's face , the silver eyes are as bright as gems.
Today, Tatjana has also been promoted to a wizard and is the only alien wizard from a non-human race in the Star Alliance.
Thanks to this, she is more famous in the Covenant than many wizards.
"This is the Frost Stone that I found by chance. I remember you said that this thing was very useful to you, so I thought of sending it to you."
Tajana handed it over. A light gray stone the size of an egg.
"Frost Stone!" Atil was surprised.
She had seen this kind of thing in books. It was a stone from the Frost River in the Shadow Realm. It was a very precious negative energy material.
More importantly, this is one of the key materials for reshaping the body!
"Jana, where did you find the Frost Stone?" Atil asked with bright eyes.
Seeing the importance that Adil attached, Tatjana did not lose her appetite and said truthfully:
“I found it in a cave near Bank City in the underground world. After that, I reported it to Teacher Qiangwei. I asked for advice and found out that this is Shuangyou Stone.”
Atil thought about it for a moment and vaguely remembered that Bank City seemed to be on the edge of the Southeast Region, seemingly not far from the Demon Spider City.
“Thank you for the information, Jana, you helped me a lot.”
After coming back to his senses, Atil smiled and gently hugged Tatjana. one time.
"I wish I could help you." Tajana smiled and hugged her friend back.
After the original sacrifice incident, the Dark Elf clan was basically abolished, and she also cut off contact with her own clan.
Although he enrolled in Starlight Academy, due to his alien status, it was difficult to truly integrate into the circle of people around him.
In the entire Star Alliance, Adil was the only one she could really talk to and be called a friend.
For this reason, she cherishes Adil as a friend.
After separating from Tatjana, Adil immediately returned to the study and found Lize to report the matter.
"Shuangyou Stone?"
After hearing Adil's report, Liz immediately looked solemn.
She also attaches great importance to reshaping her body.
After thinking for a moment, Liz quickly made up her mind.
"Send people to search the surrounding areas of Bank City, focusing on investigating the cave where Frost Stone is found. If you find anything, report to me immediately."
After Adil took the order to leave, Lize waited for Adil to leave. Staring at the frost stone on the table, a look of contemplation appeared on his face.
Did it come from a wizard's inheritance, or did it come from the Shadow Realm?
If it was the former, then Tajana's discovery of the Frost Stone was just an accident.
But if it is the latter, the meaning is different.
Although the Starlight Continent is still under blockade, the Shadow Realm is not a special world like the elemental plane, so it is logically impossible to connect to the Starlight Continent.
But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unlikely event. If this bottle of Frost Stone really comes from the Shadow Realm, it means that some existence brought it out of the Shadow Realm.
If this is the case, it means that other creatures have invaded Starlight Continent in advance.
This is undoubtedly something that needs to be taken seriously.
“If we are really connected to the Shadow Realm, we may be able to take this opportunity to collect materials in advance.”
Lize’s eyes flashed slightly.
More than one-third of the materials used to reshape the body are negative energy materials.
As we all know, the Shadow Realm has the most negative energy resources, and many negative energy materials can be found in the Shadow Realm.
But whether this is really the case remains to be known after investigation. (End of this chapter)
