The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 111 Whimsical Idea

Everyone was silent for a while.

Finally, Heilin coughed lightly and said, "I happen to have a design drawing of a special type of puppet here, but it's not a flying type. Do you want it?"

"Can I take a look first?"

"certainly."

Taking the design drawing from Hei Lin, Sunan opened it and was startled.

The name of the puppet is written on the top of the design—Gem Golem!

This weird name immediately piqued his interest.

He continued to look down, his expression gradually becoming strange.

The names of different golems are generally based on their main constituent materials.

For example, the steel golem is made of steel as its main material, and the stone golem is made of rock as its main material.

As long as wizard civilization has existed, wizards have developed not too many types of materials for refining golems, and some of them are very weird materials, such as flesh and blood, bones, and even magic ropes and roller shutters.

There are all kinds of strange materials.

But this was the first time Su Nan had heard of using gems as a material.

It’s not that gemstones are unsuitable as materials, the main reason is that they are expensive!

No matter what a wizard makes, the first thing he must pay attention to is cost-effectiveness.

Whether it is a magic item, a puppet or a potion, no matter how powerful the effect is, if the cost far exceeds its supposed value, then the item is a failure.

It is precisely because of this that no one has ever thought of using gems to refine golems.

But the author of this design drawing dared to do what others would not do.

His idea was to use diamonds as the main body, supplemented by various gemstones to build the body of the golem, and then imprint a certain number of second-ring spells on it. Referring to the techniques of the 'Gem Spell' school, using gemstones to increase the power of the spells, he finally refined it. A gem golem that can cast multiple spells.

I have to admit, this idea is very creative.

It goes without saying that the body of the golem, which is made of diamond as its main body, is very hard. Even the adamantine golem may not be able to compare with it.

The idea of ​​using gems to increase the power of spells is also very clever.

With the increase of gems, the power of the spells released by the gem golem is definitely not inferior to the third-ring spells.

A golem with an indestructible body and the ability to release spells that are as powerful as the third ring. Its combat power is so strong that even an average third-level wizard apprentice cannot match it!

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this idea has two very obvious flaws.

The first is manufacturing difficulty.

To imprint a second-level spell into the body of a golem so that it can release spells is even more difficult than to permanently imprint a second-level spell on a magic item.

With Sunan's level 4 [Magic Item Creation], he has failed several times to imprint a second-level spell on the robe. If he wants to imprint a second-level spell, he may have to fail dozens or hundreds of times before he can succeed.

Even Sunan is like this, let alone other wizard apprentices.

Others do not have such good conditions as Sunan and have a lot of resources to practice and improve their magic item manufacturing skills.

For an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice, if [Magic Item Creation] can reach the level 2 standard, he is considered to have excellent talent.

Furthermore, in order to use gems to increase the power of spells, the refiner must also master the knowledge of 'gem magic'.

But this knowledge has long since disappeared from the Starlight Continent with the departure of the gem magic school.

There is no one who can learn this knowledge now.

The second flaw is naturally the cost issue.

To create a gemstone golem, the gems needed would probably not be measured in tons, and the final cost would probably be hundreds of millions of gold coins.

No matter how wealthy a wizard is, he cannot afford such an astonishing expenditure.

Even if he gritted his teeth and squeezed out the funds for refining, he spent so much money just to refine a golem that was more powerful than the average third-level wizard apprentice?

How many prodigal people can do this!

Even in the future when the gem insect swarm grows and can produce gems in large quantities, Sunan will not waste gems on this.

In his opinion, this design drawing has almost no practicality.

In fact, according to the author of the design drawing, he was only contemplating the idea and had not yet refined the finished product.

After reading the design drawing, Sunan pondered for a while, then looked at Hei Lin Wanwei: "What are you planning to trade for this design drawing?"

"Three magic stones, how about it?"

Heilin also knew that the design was unreliable, so he offered an extremely cheap price for the puppet design.

Sunan thought for a moment and then agreed.

Although this design is whimsical, it is not entirely without lessons worth learning.

Take it back and study it carefully, maybe you can design a new type of puppet based on it.

The last transaction was completed and the party was over.

Before parting, Heilin waved to Sunan and said with a smile: "Player, if you are interested in puppets, I also have a rare puppet design there. Bring it to me next time I attend a party."

Sunan was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Then I'll wait and see."

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, the month of Xialong came, the fierce sun hung high in the sky, and the weather became extremely hot.

base.

As soon as Sherman came out of the pharmacy laboratory, he met Atil who came out of the opposite room.

The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Are you here to make potions too?"

"Yes, after spending so long, I finally successfully produced the first bottle of secondary dragon blood potion."

Adil shook the potion bottle in his hand, and the bright red liquid inside swayed slightly.

As the first batch of students to enter the base, Sherman, Corey and Atil have now learned how to make zero-level potions.

It's just that Sherman and Corey have made faster progress and have already mastered the relatively more difficult secondary dragon blood potions and secondary active potions among the zero-order potions.

On the contrary, Adil made slow progress, and it was only today that he finally produced the secondary dragon blood potion.

"Making potions is not everything a wizard apprentice does, so don't worry too much about it."

Seeing Adil's depressed look, Sherman racked his brains to find words of comfort, and finally just squeezed out this dry sentence.

This look made Atil laugh.

"There's no need to force it. I know my own business. My talent is indeed not as good as yours and Corey's. I'll probably die as a second-level wizard apprentice in this life."

"On the other hand, you and Kore might be promoted to the third level wizard apprentice!"

Sherman grinned and said nothing.

To be promoted to the third level wizard apprentice, the first condition is to build nine star rings.

And he has spent more than three years, but still has not built the third star ring, and the nine star rings are simply far away.

"I heard that the new knight academy has recently started enrolling students?" Atil asked about another topic.

"That's right." A smile appeared on Sherman's face. "When I went to see old Roger a few days ago, I heard from him that many people had gone to enroll."

What Sherman regrets most about the base is that there are very few students from the same background as him.

The vast majority of students are either from middle-class families or from aristocratic families.

So much so that he couldn't even find a few friends with whom he could talk.

This is not to say that others are bad.

Like Atil and Ethan, although they were from good backgrounds, they never looked down on him, and they were always very gentle with him.

It's just that the two sides have different backgrounds and different views. After all, it is difficult to get along truly harmoniously. The newly established Knight Academy is said to only recruit students from civilians and farmers. After graduation, they will join the base to form the Knight Guard.

In this way, at least the base will not be filled with people from middle class and aristocratic backgrounds.

At this time, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the distance.

Sherman turned around and saw a group of boys and girls walking towards this side. The leader was Ethan, who had a good relationship with him.

The group of boys and girls soon noticed Sherman and Atil, and waved and said hello.

"Senior Sherman!"

"Senior Atil!"

Adil said hello with a smile and asked: "Seeing that you are so happy, what good thing happened?"

Ethan smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that Skinner finally mastered the first spell, and everyone is happy for him."

Skinner is one of the second batch of freshmen entering the base, and he is also the youngest among them. He is only thirteen years old. He is fair and fair, and is very cared for and loved by everyone.

"What kind of spell is it?" Artil looked at Skinner with a smile.

"Mage's Hand!"

It seems that Skinner's face turned red with excitement because of being in the limelight in front of the most popular senior student Artil, and he opened his mouth to cast a spell to show Artil. Fortunately, Sherman saw the opportunity and stopped him quickly.

"Don't be impulsive."

Sherman pointed to the trees not far away.

A red-eyed crow was sitting on a branch, staring at the group of them with its dark eyes.

Skinner finally reacted, was startled and quickly shut his mouth.

After the third batch of students entered the base, considering the increase in the number of students and in order to facilitate management, the base began to implement strict regulations and improve order. Violators will be punished by confinement and deduction of contribution points.

Among them is the regulation that prohibits the release of spells in places other than spell practice areas and laboratories. Violators will have a certain contribution value deducted.

To Skinner, that was a painful sum.

After coming back to his senses, Skinner quickly thanked Sherman.

"Don't worry about it." Sherman waved his hand and smiled, "Just remember to pay attention next time."

The atmosphere became relaxed again.

After chatting and joking for a while, Ethan and others left and went straight to the magic practice area.

Their original purpose was also there.

"Where are you going next?" Atil asked.

"Go to the task release board and take a look at it and take on a few tasks."

"I happen to want to take on the mission too, so let's go together."

The two of them came to the warehouse together, saluted and said hello to Miss Geli who was sitting there basking in the sun, and then came to the publishing board.

To their surprise, Corey was also there.

Seeing Sherman and Atil, Corey nodded slightly as a greeting, and then continued to wander around the bulletin board.

Sherman walked over and took a look and found that there were many new tasks on it.

For example, feeding ores to the gem bugs in the insect nest.

Collect pure gems produced by gem bugs.

Demonize the forelimbs of the double-edged spider.

Refining stone golems and more.

Suddenly there are more than ten new tasks.

"A new camp has been built in the northern forest. Do you know about this?" Kore said suddenly.

"I heard about it," Adil replied.

Sherman nodded as well.

They had long known that a mineral vein had been discovered in the forest north of Glitter City. Under the mineral vein was connected to the entrance to the underground world, and there was an underground city-state ruled by a human-faced lion.

The newly established Camp No. 1 is said to be to monitor the movements of the city-state of the Sphinx.

As for the source of these information, it is naturally Lady Amy.

Lady Amy often brings them some novel insights, and occasionally they can hear the teacher's adventure stories, which is a rare bit of fun in their boring training life.

"Sister Amy told me that the teacher is preparing to launch a war against the Lion City State."

Sherman and Atil were surprised.

But then I thought about it, and it seemed that there were already signs of this happening.

For example, all the gems collected from the gem insect nest are sent to Camp 1, mostly for the purpose of refining the stone golem.

The extra task of refining the stone golem on the bulletin board is obviously due to this reason.

"I plan to ask the teacher to let me participate in the war." Kore said surprisingly.

"Join the war?"

Adil and Sherman looked at each other, both a little surprised.

"Would it be too risky?"

"Yeah, we can't participate in a war of that level."

The soldiers participating in the war were either human-faced lions with nearly knight-level strength at their weakest, or knight-level stone golems and double-edged spiders.

There are even powerful knights and legendary knights!

A first-level wizard apprentice participating in a war of this level will die if he is not careful.

"That's right, meow, it's too early for you to join the war."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, and Adil felt his shoulders sink slightly. He turned around and saw Amy's snow-white cat body.

"Lord Amy!"

Amy licked her paws and said lazily:

"A first-level wizard apprentice can barely deal with one or two knights. He can barely manage to participate in your human war. To deal with a human-faced lion is to die."

"It's almost time for you to become a second-level wizard apprentice."

Kore frowned and said: "Lord Amy, I just hope that the teacher can allow me to take this opportunity to gain more contribution points and speed up my strength improvement. Besides, fighting may help me break through the bottleneck."

"Why does it sound like a dark wizard?"

Amy tilted her head, waved her paws and said crisply:

"It's up to you. I can tell Sunan for you, but just don't have too much hope."

A hint of joy flashed across Kore's face: "Thank you, Ms. Amy!"

"What about you?" Amy looked at the other two people.

Adil shook his head.

The few spells she mastered were all auxiliary, and none of them were offensive. There was no difference between going to the battlefield and dying.

Sherman also shook his head.

He is not like Kore, who only wants to improve his strength.

He enjoys his current state very much. He is exposed to new knowledge every day and can feel his progress every day.

This process of gradually lifting the veil and understanding the world made him very immersed.

He prefers to proceed step by step and steadily, rather than rush forward hastily.
