The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 102 Caution and Reverence

Sunan finally chose to leave quietly.

Although he really wanted to explore the situation on the island, after all, he had just experienced a fierce battle, which consumed a lot of mental energy. There were only seven high-level rune gems left, and his strength was not at its peak.

Think more carefully, it's not too late to go back and make complete preparations before exploring again.

Returning to Glitter City, Sunan immediately came to the Lord's Mansion.

After learning that Sunan had gone to the cave, Keyi had been staying in the meeting hall waiting for news. When he saw that Sunan had come back safe and sound, he was relieved.

He couldn't wait to ask: "Is it solved?"

"Solved."

Sunan nodded, and without waiting for Keyi's face to show joy, he immediately said:

"But I discovered something new."

Key was stunned: "What's the situation?"

Sunan briefly talked about the underground city-state.

After listening to Sunan's words, Keyi's whole body went numb.

I thought it would be bad enough to have a monster comparable to a three-ring legendary knight near Glitter City, but I didn't expect that the monster was solved, and now an underground city-state has popped up.

The latter is undoubtedly more threatening than the Hundred-Armed Monster.

Key began to regret setting the province's central city in Glitter City.

If he had known that the entrance to the underground world was next to him, he would have been able to hide as far away as possible.

"If I guess correctly, the Hundred-Armed Monster should have business dealings with that city-state."

Sunan remembered what the kobolds had said before.

They mine in exchange for food to feed the Hundred-Armed Monsters.

In the cave, the only people who can be traded are obviously the people in the underground city-state.

"The residents of that city-state have probably known for a long time that the cave is connected to the surface. They haven't invaded the surface for so long, and they probably won't have this idea in the short term."

Sunan reassured.

Of course, it is also possible that the hundred-armed monster occupied the passage and prevented people from the city-state from passing through.

But it would be simpler if it were true.

It means that the power of the city-state cannot even suppress the hundred-armed monster, so he doesn't have to worry.

Hearing Sunan say this, Keyi's worry decreased slightly.

"What do you plan to do with the mineral veins in the cave?"

"Extract immediately."

Sunan said without thinking.

After all, the cave is not 100% safe, and the mineral veins can definitely be mined one day earlier.

"Do you need me to help recruit miners from Black Rock City?"

"No, just help me prepare a set of mining equipment, and leave the mining to the Clay Golem."

The mining efficiency of a clay golem is equivalent to that of dozens of skilled miners, and mining with a clay golem is even more efficient.

Sunan planned to mine all the mineral veins in the cave as soon as possible.

This battle cost a lot of money, and he had to regain his health as soon as possible.

Moreover, if we want to prevent the invasion of underground city-states, we will have to refine a batch of golems to guard the caves, which will also cost a lot of money.

"Okay, if you need my help, just let me know."

Key turned around and went to tell the guards to do something.

the next day.

Sunan directly transferred thirty clay golems from the base to live in the cave and expanded the cave in the early stage to facilitate subsequent mining work.

Although kobolds are natural miners, that is only relative to other residents of the underground world.

Compared with humans, kobolds lag far behind in terms of skills and equipment.

The ore veins in the basin that have been mined by kobolds look like they have been gnawed by dogs, and they do not look beautiful and neat at all.

It took three days for Sunan to successfully complete the expansion and renovation of the cave.

Just in time, the mining equipment has arrived, and it even includes mining rails.

After the equipment is installed, a mining area will take shape.

Although the number of miners is not large, the advantage is that they do not need to rest or eat, and can work non-stop for 24 hours, so the mining progress is not slow.

Sunan estimated that thirty clay golems could mine silver and gold mines worth more than a hundred gold coins in one day.

If it is refined and then sold, the value can further increase.

At this rate, in about three months, he would almost be able to recoup his efforts in killing the Hundred-Armed Monster.

What follows is pure profit.

In the underground city-state, Sunan arranged for five steel golems to guard the cave where the Hundred-Armed Monster originally lived, and also set up a magic alarm. Once a creature entered, he would know immediately.

For the next two months, everything was uneventful.

Mining work in the cave is going well.

There was no movement in the underground city-state, and Key gradually felt relieved.

Time flies and comes to the last day of the Sleeping Moon.

In the Starlight Continent, this day is also called the Sabbath Day, which marks the end of the year and is also the dividing line between the old and the new years.

Both commoners and nobles will gradually reduce their outing activities after this day, including work and visiting friends, as if the hustle and bustle of the entire year has been silenced on this day.

In the first month of the new year, people will start to hold various celebrations and banquets to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

On the third day after the New Year celebration, Sunan successfully built the eleventh star ring.

The mental strength also successfully exceeded 34, reaching the standard for taking the third-level high-grade transcendental potion.

Su Nan immediately changed to the third-level high-grade transcendental potion, and his proficiency in the star ring meditation method increased every day to more than 2,300.

However, the proficiency required to construct the twelfth star ring has also soared to 800,000, and it is expected to take almost a year to achieve.

In addition, his [Magic Item Creation] skill has finally been upgraded to level 4.

Another condition for refining the magic pattern core has been met.

"But I finally got this skill to level 4."

In the workshop, Sunan looked at the panel and sighed.

He picked up an ordinary long sword and picked up a silver ingot in the other hand.

Under the bright light, the silver ingots turned into threads between his fingers, and merged into the long sword. A silver-white luster visible to the naked eye emerged from the surface of the sword blade.

In the blink of an eye, the long sword gained a spiritual aura.

Temporary magic weapon!

[Magic Item Creation] After reaching level 4, Su Nan mastered the new skills.

As long as he has silver and gold, he can add temporary enchantment effects to weapons at any time.

"The practicality is average, better than nothing."

Sunan put down his weapon.

He is now much more efficient at making magical weapons. As long as he is willing, he can make seven or eight handfuls a day just for fun.

But he doesn't do this anymore.

The work of creating demonized weapons has been handed over to Sherman and Corey.

These two people have already mastered certain skills in making magic items.

Although it is not yet possible to create magic items that are too difficult, magic weapons can be manufactured independently, but the efficiency is a bit slower.

As for Adil, as she has been practicing for a long time, the gap in qualifications between her and Sherman and Corey has become more and more prominent.

Whether it is meditation progress or spell learning, they are all slower than Sherman and Corey.

In the fields of potion making, puppet refining and magic item manufacturing, the performance is also average.

On the contrary, several students with good qualifications emerged from the second batch of students.

For example, a boy named Ethan.

It only took more than seven months to build the first star ring, which was only a few days slower than Sherman's original work.

Moreover, he has shown outstanding talent in potion making and is now able to skillfully refine the essence of Silver Moon Flower.

It is estimated that it won't take long to start making zero-level potions.

When the second group of students, led by Ethan, grow up and gradually learn how to make potions, they can start to expand the scale of potion sales, and then their income will soar again.

"Now we only need the materials to refine the magic pattern core."

After attending the Jungle Cabin last time, Sunan had collected eighty kinds of rare metals.

In the following months, four more rare metals were discovered one after another.

From the hundred-armed monster's magic armor, three more rare metals were decomposed.

Now there are only two types left.

"The experiment is almost in progress and should be completed in a few days."

A smile appeared at the corner of Sunan's mouth.

Once he fuses the magic pattern core, his strength will skyrocket.

Since he came to this world, his power has been increasing at an alarming rate, but he actually has never had much sense of security.

Starlight Continent is too vast.

Even after thousands of years of elemental desert, this continent that once gave birth to a prosperous wizard civilization cannot be underestimated.

No one knows how many powerful creatures exist on this vast continent.

Such as the extremely dangerous underground world.

Just near the entrance to the underground world, there was a hundred-armed monster that was comparable to a legendary knight with three rings.

How many powerful and terrifying creatures should there be in that vast underground world?

There is also a jungle cabin.

Su Nan had never underestimated Ye Xiao, a group of third-level wizard apprentices.

Who can break through and become a third-level wizard apprentice in a situation of extremely poor resources? Which one is not an outstanding and stunning genius?

This group of people may have survived for hundreds of years, and they may have accumulated many trump cards over a long period of time.

If you underestimate them because they have abundant resources, you may suffer big losses at some point.

Furthermore, since there is a jungle hut, there may be other wizard apprentice organizations.

Sunan felt that it was better to be more cautious and reverent towards this continent.

When you become an official wizard, it won't be too late to do whatever you want.

Junan City, Manor.

In the bright and spacious hall, the three chief priests of the Spark Cult sat opposite each other.

The atmosphere was a bit solemn, and all three of them frowned.

After a long time, Joris finally broke the silence.

"In just two months, eighteen sect strongholds were attacked. A total of fourteen priests and hundreds of priests were killed. There were countless ordinary believers killed and injured. But now we don't even have the specific identity of the murderer. After investigating clearly, how can we explain this to the High Priest Ovijiu?"

Jensen, who was sitting on the right, snorted and said:

"Does this still require investigation?"

"Some of the people who attacked the stronghold are able to cast spells. They are obviously wizards. This is an attack by a wizard organization against our sect!"

"I think it's either the Jungle Cabin or the Eternal Life Society!"

Brak pondered: "But why did they attack us? We have nothing to offend them, right?"

"Those profit-oriented **** don't care about principles with others. As long as there is something beneficial, they will do it. Have you forgotten what we lost in this attack?"

"You mean divine blood amber!"

Yoris and Brak reacted immediately, and their expressions instantly became solemn.

Since the last loss of more than twenty divine blood ambers, the sect has strengthened its management of divine blood ambers.

However, too many strongholds were attacked this time, and more than thirty divine blood ambers were still taken away.

Originally, they thought that the other party just took away the divine blood amber. After all, there were many other things taken away.

But when Jensen reminded them, Joris and Brack immediately realized something was wrong.

Maybe the enemy really came for the divine blood amber.

Divine blood is useless to others outside the sect, and it is useless if taken, but wizards are the only exception.

I heard that in ancient times, wizards often used divine blood for research.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Joris suddenly said:

"Do you think this incident may have something to do with Sunan? When he attacked the Stone Bell City stronghold before, he also took away more than 20 divine blood ambers!"

"You mean that Sunan joined the Jungle Lodge and the people who attacked us were also from the Jungle Lodge?"

"It's not impossible, is it?"

"But even if Su Nan joined the Jungle Lodge, how did he convince other wizards to take action? You must know that the Jungle Lodge has always been low-key. They have not carried out such a large-scale operation for many years."

"No matter what, we must find a way to stop that group of wizards. Because of the recent attack, the sect's missionary operations have been greatly affected. If the attack is not resolved, the missionary operations cannot continue."

"The lost divine blood amber must be recovered as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to bear the blame of the high priest Ovijiu."

Yoris rubbed his brows with a headache.

If it were really Sunan, this guy would be so angry!

He hadn't even gone to find Sunan to settle the score, but this guy came to target them first. It was so arrogant!

Yoris suddenly remembered what Marquis Jinyan said before he died, and his heart moved slightly, but soon he suppressed the wavering again, raised his head and looked at the other two people, and asked:

"The High Priest Ovijo has been in retreat for almost half a year. When will it end?"

"Who knows." Brak shook his head. "The wizard of the royal family is not weak. The high priest Ovijiu used three holy weapons to kill him. The backlash was a bit serious, and he will probably need to recuperate for a long time."

Jensen sneered and said: "That old guy is ignorant and dares to belittle the great Star God. Killing him will be an advantage for him."

"According to my words, there is no need to promise the Grand Duke Fanxing to temper his body with divine blood. After killing that wizard, wouldn't the royal family be more at ease? Do they still dare to go against us?"

"You can't say that." Brak smiled slightly, "It is better to have the royal family willingly cooperate than to be unwillingly threatened."

"Besides, the Star Royal Family has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a profound foundation. Even without the wizard who enshrined it, the other powers at its disposal cannot be underestimated. As far as I know, the Star Royal Family had a group fifty years ago. A three-ring legendary knight, if that person is still alive, he will be no easier to deal with than a wizard."

"All in all, it's enough to show force appropriately. Don't push too hard. If the Fanxing Royal Family chooses to fight to the death, we will also have a headache."

Yoris agreed: "Yes, it's best now. As long as Grand Duke Fanxing still cherishes his life, he can only choose to cooperate with us."

Seeing the two of them singing together, Yansen curled his lips and said nothing more.

The conversation among the three quickly turned to missionary operations.
