The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 139 Death knell mark, promotion in five years

Year 1255 of the Starlight Calendar, the Moon of Summer.

After more than half a year of recuperation, the Principality of Fanxing gradually recovered from the haze of the war, and Keyi's control over the principality became more and more stable. Now most of his energy is focused on rebuilding the Ranshuang Province, striving to bring Yanshuang to the throne as soon as possible. The province is restored to its previous level.

In the same month, the knight academies in the six major provinces officially opened, and the first class of freshmen enrolled.

Time has come to the Moon of Flowing Fire, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

Base No. 2.

In a spacious and bright laboratory.

Su Nan carefully printed the last trace of blood on the back of his right hand. After a flash of blood, there was already a horn-shaped blood-red mark on the back of his hand.

"It's done!"

A smile of joy appeared on Sunan's face.

After the battle with Kasham, he devoted most of his energy to research on the Death Knell Ringer. It took him more than two months to finally successfully create a bloodline mark with the Death Knell Ringer's bloodline.

"The concentration of the ancient blood of the Death Knell Striker is still a little low after all. It needs to be synthesized to increase the concentration before it can be made into a blood mark."

"Let's just call it the Mark of the Death Knell."

Sunan stared at the mark on the back of her hand, and the smile on her face grew stronger.

The effect of the death knell mark is to instantly release powerful sound waves, which are much more powerful than the sonic attacks released by the death knell striker.

Preliminary estimates suggest that it is easy to kill the second-ring legend instantly.

Even if he is a three-ring legend, he will be seriously injured even if he survives a single blow!

If there is any shortcoming, it is that this thing is a one-time consumable, used once and it is gone, and it is not easy to make.

On the premise of not harming the body of the person who strikes the death knell, it takes almost fourteen days to draw a little blood every day to create a death knell mark.

"It's almost enough to make four or five self-defense weapons."

With another trump card in his hand, Sunan was in an extremely happy mood. He turned around and left the laboratory and came to the prison area.

This is the most heavily guarded place in the entire No. 2 base, except for the warehouses and laboratories.

The defense of the first two is mainly aimed at the outside, while the defense of the prison area is aimed at the inside.

There are many formations arranged here, including but not limited to effects such as magic ban, weakness, heavy pressure, etc., to ensure that the resistance of every creature imprisoned here is weakened to the lowest point.

There are many golems and double-edged spider guards inside and outside, making it airtight.

Arriving at the room where the bell ringer was imprisoned, Sunan looked inside.

The bell ringer lay on the ground languidly. When he heard the footsteps, he looked up and saw that it was Sunan. He immediately let out a cry of fear and subconsciously shrank inward, with a humanized pleading in his animal eyes.

Looking at its aggrieved look, it doesn't have the slightest bit of majesty as a descendant of an ancient bloodline.

There was no way, anyone who had his blood drawn every day for more than two months would end up like this.

The sluggish look of the Death Knell Ringer at this time was not entirely due to the suppression of the formation in the prison area, but more due to the continuous extraction of a large amount of blood.

Sunan said she was also helpless.

Whether it is bloodline imprints or divine energy, research requires a large amount of experimental materials. In order to speed up the research progress, the frequency and amount of blood he drew were slightly increased by a few million points.

After all, he is a descendant of ancient bloodline and will be able to recover after a while.

Unfortunately, the concentration of the ancient blood of the Death Knell Striker is still too low, not enough to awaken the divine energy.

The reason why Ugo wants the divine remains of the Spark Cult is to extract the divine energy inside and fuse it with the Deathstroke, so that it can awaken the divine energy and break through to a higher realm.

Fortunately, Sunan doesn't need to be so troublesome.

He has other means to increase the blood concentration of the Knell Striker.

Hidden Dragon is a good example.

"It's a pity that your power level is too high. Otherwise, if you were contracted as a demon pet, your bloodline concentration would be directly increased."

Sunan felt a little pity.

The higher the power level of a creature, the more difficult it is to contract to become a familiar.

Unless the wizard (apprentice) is much more powerful than the contract partner.

For a three-ring legendary ancient beast like the Deathstroke, at least a formal wizard is required to try to contract it as a familiar, and it is not 100% successful.

Therefore, many wizards (apprentices) start training their magic pets from a young age.

It's not that they don't like contracting powerful beasts, it's just that they can't do it.

However, although it cannot be contracted into a magic pet, it is not difficult to tame the Death Knell Ringer.

As long as some small tricks are placed in its body, this alien beast, which is no less intelligent than humans, will naturally choose to bow its head and surrender in order to save its life.

In fact, the bell ringer is now showing signs of surrender.

It won't take long for Sunan to tame it.

"It will probably take a lot of time to increase the blood concentration to the point where divine energy is awakened."

"Take your time."

After drawing more than ten tubes of blood from the bell ringer as usual, Sunan left the prison area with satisfaction and headed to the meditation room.

As early as three days ago, he had already constructed the fourteenth star ring.

For the level 15 Star Ring Meditation method, the proficiency required to upgrade again has soared to two million.

"My daily proficiency level has reached about 4600. According to this progress, it will take almost fifteen months to build the fifteenth star ring."

"The training progress of spell prompting has almost reached 70%. You should be able to master it by the Resurrection Moon next year at the latest."

"There are still twenty-eight types of replacement metals for the magic pattern core."

"The mithril now weighs more than eight kilograms, and we are still about half short of refining the secret puppet."

"The magic gold needed to refine the Adamantine Golem is still about two-thirds short. Most of the apprentices are busy refining the Golem during this period. When the Golem is saturated, they will adjust the proportion of tasks and increase the production of Magic Gold. The reward for the mission should be increased by then.”

"Micro soul crystals must also be collected in advance to synthesize small soul crystals to make the soul core of the adamantine golem."

Sunan reviewed in his mind what needed to be done in the near future.

"All that's left is to open the magic plant garden."

The six new knight academies all need dragon blood fruits, and there are a lot of them. New magic plant gardens must be opened to meet the demand.

It's just that Sunan has been busy studying bloodline marks and divine energy during this period, and has never been able to spare time to deal with this matter.

Now that the research has come to an end, we have to get started.

"There are still too few manpower available."

Sunan couldn't help but sigh.

Even if there are one or two more available people, he can feel much more relaxed and does not have to do everything himself.

When he was looking through the wizard information collected by the Star Royal Family, he wanted to recruit a few second-level wizard apprentices.

I believe that those wizard apprentices who have experienced the pain of lack of resources will not refuse a trading platform with sufficient resources.

As long as the base can ensure sufficient resource supply and fair trading principles, there is no need to worry about the loyalty of the wizard apprentices.

However, before Sunan could take action, good news came from the base.

Starlight calendar year 1255, harvest month (September). Sherman and Corey successively built the third star ring and were promoted to second-level wizard apprentices.

Base No. 1.

Common rest area.

Sherman and Corey were surrounded by many apprentices like a star in the middle, and all kinds of congratulations were heard.

"Congratulations to both seniors."

"I knew that Senior Sherman and Senior Corey would definitely be promoted to level two wizard apprentices!"

"It only took more than five years to be promoted to the second level. Senior Sherman and Senior Corey are indeed geniuses."

"I'm so envious. I've only built the second star ring now."

"Senior, can you tell us about your experience in promotion?"

Atil looked at Sherman and Corey who were surrounded with a smile. While he was happy for the two of them, he also felt a little complicated.

She is not as talented as Sherman and Corey. She is still far away from constructing the third star ring. It is estimated that it will take at least two or three years.

Even the second batch of Ethan can build the star ring faster than her, and it is very likely that he will be promoted to the second level wizard apprentice faster than her.

"Okay, thank you for your congratulations. We are still rushing to see the teacher. We will talk to you about our promotion experience another day."

Sherman said with a smile.

Hearing that the teacher had summoned him, everyone quickly moved out of the way.

Sherman and Corey walked out of the crowd and left the common rest area toward the central area.

That is Sunan's exclusive area. His laboratory, meditation room, spell practice area, etc. are all located there. No one can enter or exit at will without his permission.

Two elite stone golems stand at the door.

Seeing someone coming, the two demon statues immediately turned their thick heads, their dark eyes paused on the two of them, and they made a mechanical and monotonous voice.

"Target retrieval is in progress, you have entry permission and can pass!"

After the words fell, the two heads clicked back to their original positions.

Kore glanced at the elite stone golem with burning eyes.

This is a legendary level puppet.

Much more powerful than clay golems and stone golems.

If one day he can also refine a puppet of this level, that would be awesome.

The two of them had been to the central area many times before and were already familiar with the layout. After passing through the gate, they went straight to the study.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Sherman was about to knock on the door when a voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Sherman and Kore looked serious, opened the door and walked in. When they looked up, they saw the teacher sitting behind the desk, holding a book in his hand and looking at them with a smile.

What surprised the two of them was that Lady Amy, who had often been in the underground world these days, was actually here.

It was lying in the corner of the desk, holding a stick of catnip and sniffing it with a look of enjoyment on its face.

"Teacher, Lady Amy."

Sherman and Corey both bowed.

"Meow, it's Sherman and Corey." Amy came back to her senses and waved her paws at the two, "I heard that you two have been promoted to the second level wizard apprentice. Congratulations, meow."

Sherman and Corey smiled at the same time. They were about to say something modest, but they heard Amy change the subject.

"But the promotion speed is a bit slow. If it had been in the past, if I hadn't been promoted to the second level wizard apprentice in more than five years, I would have been kicked out of the academy."

The smiles on their faces suddenly froze on their faces.

Amy added: "Su Nan was promoted to the second level wizard apprentice in less than a year."

Sherman and Corey were shocked, and looked at Sunan with admiration.

As expected of a teacher, he passed the second-level wizard apprentice level in such a short time.

"Okay." Su Nan interrupted Amy, looked at the two of them and smiled, "Don't listen to Amy's nonsense, you two are already doing a good job at this point."

Now is the era of elemental desert, how can it be compared with a thousand years ago?

It's even more incomparable to someone like him!

It only took Sherman and Corey more than five years to be promoted to the second level wizard apprentice. This talent is already very good.

Of course, this is also because the base provides sufficient resources. It is common for outside wizard apprentices to barely advance to the second level after spending twenty or thirty years.

It is not uncommon for people with slightly less talent to take fifty or sixty years to cross this level.

After receiving Sunan's praise, Sherman and Corey both showed joy on their faces.

"It's all thanks to the teacher's teaching!" the two said in unison.

Su Nan smiled slightly and said: "I just provided you with a platform. To get to this point is mainly due to your own efforts."

Then his smile faded and he said solemnly:

"But you can't just relax. The second-level wizard apprentice is just the starting point of the wizard's path. It only means that you have become a qualified apprentice. In this continent, you must be at least a third-level wizard apprentice to be qualified to be called a strong person. ”

"Promoting to a third-level wizard apprentice is far more difficult than you think, let alone being promoted to a formal wizard. You must be mentally prepared. There is still a long way to go in the future."

"Yes, teacher!"

Sherman and Corey looked solemn and bowed in response.

After reminding the two of them a few words, Sunan slowed down his tone, smiled and threw a bottle of potion to each of them.

"This is a super potion, a second-level potion that can improve the efficiency of meditation. Think of it as my promotion gift to you two."

"However, there are restrictions on the use of this potion. It requires mental strength to reach a certain level. You must practice for a period of time and stabilize your state before taking it."

The second-level low-grade super potion requires a mental strength of 13 before it can be taken.

A newly promoted second-level wizard apprentice, even if his mental strength has not reached 13, it is not much different. He will be satisfied after practicing for a few months.

"Thank you teacher!"

Sherman and Corey were overjoyed.

Potions that improve meditation efficiency always require a higher contribution value to redeem than other things.

Not to mention a bottle of second-level potion.

If they exchanged it with contribution points, they might have to do the task for more than half a month.

"Go back and come to me when you have stabilized your realm. I have something for you two to do." Su Nan waved his hand and said.

The two men responded solemnly, bowed respectfully, and then left.

Walking out of the study, Sherman and Corey looked at each other, with smiles on their faces.

"This time you were promoted thirteen days faster than me. You won, but I will definitely surpass you next time!" Kore said with a firm expression.

In the past, Sherman would have laughed off Corey's behavior.

However, after the death of old Roger, his attitude towards improving his strength has undergone earth-shaking changes. At this time, when he heard Kore's challenging words, a confident smile appeared on his face.

"Then I'll wait and see, but you have to be prepared, I won't lose to you!"
