The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 124 Eternal Life Society

Astral calendar year 1254, the month of the scroll (August).

The Marquis of Hulan was killed in the Marquis' mansion.

The entire family was destroyed overnight.

When the news came out, the upper echelons of the Principality of Stars were in an uproar.

Everyone in the royal family was in danger, fearing that Sunan would come and kill them in the middle of the night.

Hulan Province also fell into a leaderless situation due to the death of the Marquis of Hulan, and all its heirs were wiped out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Baron Staley, who was stationed in Jinmai City, sent his army northward and captured four towns including Ya'an City in just half a month, with great momentum along the way.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the troops of the Shining Leader were in the other two provinces, and Baron Staley didn't have many troops under his command, he might have been enough to take over the entire Hulan Province.

In the same year, the harvest month (September).

The shining army captured Soman City, the central city of Soman Province, and the new Marquis of Soman was captured.

At this point, the entire Soman Province fell into the hands of the Shining Leader.

After resting for three days, Marquis Flash led his troops to set off, aiming directly at the Zizhu Province. Together with Baron Jotun who was stationed in Mengguang City, he sent troops to besiege the Zizhu Province. In less than a month, more than a third of the Zizhu Province was captured. Two territories.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fall of Zizhu Province is a foregone conclusion.

Looking back at the royal family, the army of Hongye Province is still fighting fiercely with the Marquis of White Tower. Although they have the upper hand, there is still no sign that they can take over White Tower Province in a short time.

As for Ranshuang Province, it is still under reconstruction and its military strength is negligible.

At this point, the direction of the war has been completely reversed.

Many people who were originally optimistic about the royal family and ridiculed the stupidity of the Shining Leader have lost their voices.

Instead, talk of the glittering collar subverting the royal family became increasingly popular.

Tavern, in the room.

Su Nan stared at the golden light slowly spinning in the palm of his hand, with a delighted smile on his face.

[Divine energy, 12 standard units, completely purified pure energy, can be converted into any form of energy. 】

"Success!"

"Pure energy that is completely pollution-free!"

After draining all the divine grace from the holy objects, Sunan finally synthesized 12 standard units of pure divine energy.

Without hesitation, he twisted his fingers on the spot, wrapping the golden light around his fingers, and then pressed it between his eyebrows.

Under the pull of invisible spiritual power, the golden light slowly disappeared between the eyebrows.

A familiar feeling of sublimation suddenly emerged from the depths of my mind!

This is the feeling brought about by a significant increase in mental power in a short period of time.

Sunan closed his eyes tightly and patiently turned his divine energy into spiritual power bit by bit.

After an unknown amount of time, the last trace of divine energy was finally exhausted. Sunan opened his eyes and opened the panel immediately.

【Spirit 41.26】

"Not bad, an increase of 3.02!"

Sunan showed a satisfied smile.

The divine energy did not disappoint him.

If you don't build a new star ring and practice normally, it will take at least three or four years of meditation to increase this much mental power.

In addition, the growth of mental power can also increase the growth rate of proficiency in the Star Ring Meditation Method.

“The specific growth rate will only be known in practice.”

"But there's no rush. Let's deal with the Spark Cult matters first."

Sunan stood up and went to the window, opened it and looked at the street below.

After killing Oviejiu and the Marquis of Hulan, he rushed to Junan City in Hongye Province.

This is also the headquarters of the Spark Cult.

After Grand Duke Fanxing designated the Spark Sect as the state religion, Junan City had actually become the territory of the Spark Sect.

The entire city has actually been controlled by the Spark Cult, and even the city guards have been replaced by the so-called Holy Order of the Spark Cult.

The warriors wearing armor and star map cloaks that Su Nan saw at the Marquis of Hulan's Mansion that night were members of the Holy Order.

Sunan originally thought that after Ovijiu's death, Junan City would enter a state of martial law and the guards would become even tighter.

But when he arrived at Junan City, he found that the actual scene was completely different from what he expected.

The city is still peaceful, with people coming and going on the streets, no different from a normal town.

On the contrary, the Holy Order soldiers stationed at the city gate looked a little worried and absent-minded.

Listening to the discussions among the guests in the tavern, it seems that people from the Holy Order are rarely seen patrolling the streets these days.

The worship ceremony held every three days by the Spark Cult has also been suspended several times.

From the analysis of various clues, it seems that the upper echelons of the Spark Sect have fallen into chaos, so much so that it has affected the people below.

Sunan felt a little strange.

Even if Ovijiu died, the Spark Cult would not be so panicked.

It was only the chief priest who died, not the pope.

Shaking his head, Sunan activated the invisibility robe, jumped from the window, and walked towards the headquarters of the Spark Cult.

No matter what, let’s settle things with the Spark Cult today.

By the way, let's see if we can harvest another wave of holy objects.

The headquarters of the Spark Sect is located in the center of Junan City. It was originally the residence of the lord of Junan City, but has now been converted into the church headquarters.

When Sunan arrived there, he was surprised to find that there was no guard at the door.

The door was open, and there was dead silence inside.

Sunan faintly noticed something was wrong.

This doesn't feel like a trap.

Originally, he wanted to repeat his old trick, using golem puppets to attack the headquarters of the Spark Cult, forcing all the power of the Spark Cult to wait for an opportunity, but now he changed his mind and rushed directly inside.

All the way through the gate and corridor, you come to a wide courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Sunan saw densely packed bones scattered on the ground.

Pale skeletons lay scattered on the ground, and there were no less than a hundred of them.

If you look closely, you can still see fine gnaw marks on the white bones, which seem to be left by some small creature.

There are still many broken pieces of cloth left on the surrounding ground, and it can be vaguely seen that they are the Star Map Cloak unique to the Spark Cult.

".It seems that we were caught first."

Su Nan's eyes flashed with confusion.

Besides him, who else has such a big hatred against the Spark Cult that he would not hesitate to attack the Spark Cult headquarters?

Doubtful in his heart, Sunan didn't move slowly and walked quickly inside.

All kinds of pale bones can be seen constantly along the way. Judging from the traces of the surrounding battles, the invaders are extremely powerful. The Spark Cultists have little resistance, and it is a one-sided massacre.

After entering the backyard, Sunan finally heard the sound of fighting coming from the front.

He slowed down and walked forward quietly.

A fierce battle was taking place in the wide atrium.

On one side of the battle were hundreds of Spark Cultists, forming a semicircular defensive formation with their backs against the building.

On the other side, to Sunan's expectation, it turned out to be a group of insects.

They look a bit like bees, but their heads have round mouthparts densely packed with sharp teeth, which looks a bit scary.

Although these bugs are small in size, only about the size of eggs, they move extremely quickly, and their teeth are extremely sharp. One bite can make a conspicuous gap in the armor of the Star Fire Cultist.

Sunan finally understood where the gnaw marks on the bones he saw before came from.

Those people were eaten alive by the bugs in front of them, including their skin and flesh.

"Wizard's apprentice?"

Sunan's eyes narrowed slightly.

These bugs look like the work of a wizard's apprentice. At this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly came, and another group of insects flew out from another entrance of the courtyard.

Seeing this scene, the Starfire cultists all showed expressions of despair.

They were already on the verge of being unable to support themselves, and now a group of terrifying bugs had arrived, which simply made matters worse.

But the scene that happened immediately surprised them.

The group of insects did not fly towards them, but rushed towards the other entrance of the atrium in a menacing manner.

"Discovered!"

Sunan frowned, opened his mouth, and let out a loud sound.

Crush the sound waves!

A twisted mass visible to the naked eye whirled and roared out, hitting the insect swarm like a cannonball, and a large number of insects were torn apart and shattered in an instant.

The originally dense swarm of insects seemed to have been severely dug out, leaving a blank space out of thin air.

Sunan then waved his hand, and a large fire surged out, burning the remaining insects completely.

The moment he took action, Sunan broke out of his invisibility and revealed his figure.

The Spark Cultists not far away were dumbfounded.

They tried their best to resist the swarm of insects, but they were easily wiped out by the mysterious man in front of them. This scene made them feel like they were in a dream.

A person in the crowd who seemed to have a high status quickly recognized Sunan’s appearance and exclaimed:

"Sunan!"

All the believers were shocked, and their eyes when they looked at Sunan suddenly changed.

Is this person Sunan?

The wizard who single-handedly defeated the military arrangement of Hulan Province and killed the Archpriest Ovijo?

A group of people suddenly complained secretly.

The enemy in front of us is already difficult to deal with, and now there is another terrifying and powerful enemy. It seems that we really cannot survive today.

Ignoring the reactions of the Spark Cultists, Sunan turned to look at the atrium entrance diagonally opposite.

"Come out, stop hiding."

A deep laugh sounded, and a man in gray robe walked out from the corner.

His eyes fell on the visitor's face, and Sunan couldn't help but frown slightly.

It's just because the person's appearance is too abstract.

It looks like the face of a human and an insect has been blended together. It is terrifying and disgusting at the same time. To describe it in one sentence, it is a little unscrupulous.

The exposed gray skin still bulges and twists from time to time, as if something is crawling underneath.

"A wizard apprentice who is fused with the blood of some kind of insect beast."

Su Nan felt slightly clear.

"As expected of a wizard apprentice who can kill Ovijo, he does have a few brushes."

The man in gray robe stared coldly at Sunan with eyes like the compound eyes of an insect.

"You also came here for the divine skeleton."

Divine remains?

Sunan's expression changed.

Is this the reason behind the Spark Cult possessing divine blood and relics?

But where did this person come from, and why did he know the secrets of the Spark Sect?

Thoughts were racing in his mind, but Su Nan remained calm on his face and said calmly: "So what?"

The man in gray robe opened his mouth in a terrifying arc, revealing a strange smile.

"That's a pity. I have to ask you to give up. The remains of the Spark Sect are destined to be immortalized by us."

Eternal life society?

Wizard Apprentice Organization?

If this is the case, judging from the name, these wizard apprentices seem to have great ambitions.

"You want to pick peaches?" Su Nan sneered.

It can be said that he almost defeated the Spark Cult by himself. This so-called wizard apprentice of the Eternal Life Society did nothing, but jumped out to pick peaches at the last moment. How could he tolerate this kind of thing.

"So you're not going to give up?" The man in gray robe chuckled.

Sunan didn't waste any time and directly fired a spell missile.

Seven spell missiles roared and hit the gray-robed man, but the latter's body exploded with a bang, turning into insects and flying away, rushing out of the courtyard, leaving only a cold word.

"You'll regret it!"

Sunan was slightly startled. She didn't expect the man in gray robe to speak so arrogantly and run away so decisively.

There is no consistency between words and deeds!

After confirming that the man in gray robe had really left, Sunan shook his head and turned his eyes to the Spark Cultists.

As the man in gray robe left, the insects flew away one after another. The surviving Spark cultists slumped on the ground, breathing heavily and looking at Sunan in fear.

One evil spirit has left, but there is another one in front of us.

Su Nan looked at the old man who recognized him immediately and asked, "Who was that person just now?"

"I, I don't know for sure." The old man replied with some fear, "That man had sneaked into the church headquarters once before, but he was repelled by Archpriest Ovijo."

At the mention of the High Priest Ovijo, the old man looked at the person in front of him with even more fear.

After all, it is said that the high priest Ovijo died at the hands of the man in front of him.

Su Nan also realized at this time that the man in gray robe knew that he could not defeat him, so he left without any delay.

Are you going back to bring in reinforcements?

However, being able to escape from Ovijo's hands, the man in gray robe is at least considered to be quite capable among the third-level wizard apprentices.

It seems that the Eternal Life Society is not a second-rate force. You will have to ask other people at the next gathering.

"Where is the divine body?" Sunan asked again.

"I don't know what the divine skeleton is." The old man looked confused.

Sunan frowned, threw a Charming Human, and asked again, but still got the same answer.

Others were equally uninformed.

After thinking for a while, Sunan asked again: "Where is your Pope?"

"The Pope is still in retreat." The old man glanced at the building behind him.

Obviously that's where the Spark Sect's Pope retreats.

Su Nan sneered and said: "Such a big thing happened, but your Pope is still thinking about retreat, so he is quite calm."

From the Pope down, the Spark Cult consists of the Archpriest Ovijo and the three Priests Jensen, Yoris and Brak.

Now, without exception, these four people have died at the hands of Sunan, and it can be said that the top leaders of the Spark Sect have been wiped out.

It is really incomprehensible that their Pope has not stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation at this time and is still in seclusion.

No wonder the Spark Sect is now in chaos. Someone even stormed the headquarters and killed almost all the believers.

"The secret chamber where the Pope retreats is made of hundreds of refined steel. Even the legendary knight cannot break it from the outside. And the key to enter the secret chamber is only owned by Archpriest Oviejo. We can't open the secret chamber at all. The Pope cannot be contacted.”

key?

Sunan thought about it and shook his head.

When he killed Oviejiu, his attack was a bit harsh. Except for the holy objects, everything on Oviejiu's body was destroyed until nothing was left. Even if he had the key, he was gone.

It seems that this problem of being too heavy-handed must be corrected in the future.

After gathering his thoughts, Sunan looked at the building in front of him.

He was becoming more and more curious now.

According to the descriptions of these believers, the pope of the Spark Religion hardly showed up, and most of the time Ovijiu was in charge of the affairs within the church.

Only Oviejo could even see and contact the Pope.

This is certainly not normal.

It is almost equivalent to the fact that the Spark Sect is completely controlled by Oviejiu alone, and the Pope is completely dispensable.

This is obviously not a phenomenon that a normal church should have.
