The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 140 External expansion, new member candidates

What Sunan said about asking Sherman and Corey to help was naturally to open a new magic plant garden.

After being promoted to second-level wizard apprentices, the two have initially mastered the skills of manipulating energy particles and can learn to arrange magic circles.

Once you master the relevant technology, you can open a magic planting garden.

With two new helpers, Sunan no longer has to travel around and can focus back on training and research.

Astral calendar year 1257, the month of Dongqin (January).

Spell training room.

Su Nan waved his hand, and nine spell missiles shot out at the same time, blowing the human-shaped target a hundred meters away to pieces.

The next moment, another red light hit another target like an arrow, melting it into molten iron.

Looking at the debris and molten iron on the ground in the distance, Sunan had a satisfied smile on his face.

[Spell prompt]!

After one year and ten months, he finally mastered this super magic technique!

It is self-evident how significantly the actual combat ability is improved by omitting the spell and directly casting the spell.

The time it takes for other wizard apprentices to cast a spell is enough for him to cast two or three spells.

From today on, he is a real humanoid turret.

After a while, Sunan came back from the joy, a look of thought flashed in his eyes.

"Which metamagic skill should you train next?"

In addition to prompt spells and silent spells, metamagic skills also include spell range enhancement that increases spell casting distance.

A spell delay that extends the duration of a spell's effect.

A spell extension that increases the area of ​​effect of a spell.

A compound cast that casts multiple spells at the same time.

A spell structure that improves control over spells and allows each spell to exert its maximum effect.

Sunan can currently choose from a total of five super magic skills.

After thinking again and again, Sunan finally chose compound casting.

For him now, spells are more of a auxiliary effect in combat, such as his commonly used floating spells, mirror shadow spells, and lightness spells.

In terms of attack and defense, he mostly uses magic items, high-level rune gems and magic pattern cores.

Compared with these, the power of the second-level spell is a little bit less impressive.

Therefore, instead of choosing the other four metamagic techniques that enhance the effects of spells, it is better to choose compound spellcasting, which allows you to choose from more spell combinations during combat and enhances tactical flexibility.

After making the decision, Sunan immediately took action.

[Complete a compound casting exercise, ‘compound casting’ training progress +0.01%]

Compound spell casting and spell prompting are both the two most difficult metamagic techniques.

Su Nan estimated that it would take at least a year or two to master this skill.

"If this continues, maybe I will be able to master all the metamagic skills before being promoted to a wizard."

If that were the case, Su Nan estimated that he should be the first wizard apprentice in the history of Starlight Continent to master all super magic skills.

With seven metamagic skills in hand, if he were to compete purely with spells, no wizard apprentice would be his opponent.

After thinking about the future for a while, Sunan calmed down his turbulent emotions and left the spell practice area.

Not long after returning to the study, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and Carolina and Red Widow walked in.

"Owner!"

The two women bowed and saluted.

Sunan raised his head and glanced at the two of them.

Since Red Widow joined his army, Carolina and her seemed to have a certain chemical reaction, and the two secretly competed with each other.

Su Nan saw it, but seeing that the competition between the two did not delay development, but actually improved efficiency in disguise, he turned a blind eye and ignored it.

Under the coordination and management of the two people, the three city-states of Youhu, Matu and Osun have now entered a stable development track.

Osun's garrison strength has also been resolved.

After that, Sunan adjusted the base's task system, reducing the reward for refining the golem and increasing the reward for making magic gold. In this way, the frequency of apprentices receiving the latter was increased.

It is estimated that it won't take long to gather the materials to refine the adamantine golem.

"Master, this is this month's financial report." Carolina respectfully handed over a stack of paper.

Su Nan took it and flipped through it at a glance, his eyes moving slightly.

"Why is it 20% less than last month?"

Carolina quickly replied: "Master, we currently have four mines that are on the verge of exhaustion, and their output has been greatly reduced. It is expected to stop production in two months at most. The output of the remaining three veins has also been significantly reduced, and only the six newly developed mines have been , the output can remain unchanged.”

Sunan frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

The reason why the seven mineral veins purchased at the beginning were able to provide such huge profits was largely due to the amazing mining efficiency of the clay golem.

But this has also brought about a rapid decline in mineral reserves.

The first batch of mineral veins has been able to sustain it until now, which is actually pretty good.

"How's the mineral exploration going?" Sunan looked at Red Widow.

After Matu and Orson stabilized, he asked Red Widow to arrange for manpower to explore the surrounding area to see if new veins could be found.

"Returning to the master, we have discovered two new mineral veins within a hundred miles. Preliminary exploration shows that one is a small iron mine and the other is a small copper mine."

The red widow bowed slightly, and her chest suddenly revealed a patch of snow-white, which was dazzling under the light of the magic lamp.

Carolina next to her saw a trace of disdain in her eyes.

Stupid slut, you don’t understand your master at all. If your master does this, how can you get your turn?

As expected, Sunan didn't pay attention to the red widow's little movements at all, but fell into deep thought.

"Two small metal veins are better than nothing."

"Too bad it's not a silver vein."

Sunan felt a little pity.

Among the four mineral veins that were on the verge of exhaustion, one happened to be a silver mine.

This also means that before finding new silver veins, the speed of accumulating mithril will inevitably be greatly reduced.

"When the other silver vein is mined, I wonder if we can gather enough to refine the marionettes?"

"It's better to find new veins."

Su Nan had a plan in mind, raised his head and ordered to the two women:

"Send more manpower, expand the scope of exploration, and we must find more mineral veins."

Carolina and Red Widow had a sudden thought.

The underground world is no better than the surface. It is full of dangers. No one knows what dangers lurk in the darkness. There may be a powerful monster or a certain ethnic group entrenched in any cave.

It's not that Youhu, Matu, and Osen have never tried to expand their territory in the past, but they suffered heavy losses in the process and had to give up the idea.

If we want to increase the scope of exploration, it means that we are likely to encounter the same problem.

Having said that, Carolina and Red Widow did not hesitate at all and responded decisively.

On the one hand, they did not dare to disobey Sunan's orders, and on the other hand, it was also because they had confidence in the Golem Legion.

Nowadays, the power under Sunan's command far exceeds any of the original Youhu, Matu, and Osen, and is even more powerful than the three combined. It is already qualified to expand outward.

In fact, even if Sunan doesn't bring it up now, Red Widow and Carolina will not be able to help but make corresponding suggestions in a few years. "Master, don't worry, I will do everything beautifully!" Carolina said firmly.

The red widow who was a step late cursed secretly and quickly followed suit to express her loyalty.

"I will not disappoint my master!"

Late at night, the moonlight filtered in through the window, covering the cabin with a thin layer of white gauze.

Sunan opened her eyes, glanced across the long table, and found that only six people were present tonight.

In addition to him, there is also the night owl who must come to every party, as well as the red heart, the rose, the scepter and the dead body.

Heilin did not attend the party.

The traveler was as invisible as ever.

Seeing the empty seat for the traveler, Sunan felt a little pity.

To be honest, he really wanted to meet the traveler, maybe he could trade some information about the underground world with him.

After a few simple greetings, the party entered the transaction process.

Due to the lack of resources, not everyone at every gathering can bring out high-value trading items. Most of the time they are ordinary materials.

The only exception is Sunan.

In the recent transactions, Sunan no longer only used magic stones to purchase other people's items, but also gradually used some first-level potions and alchemy-level magic items for trade.

After all, only trading with magic stones would be a bit of a monopoly, which would inevitably make other people a little dissatisfied.

Anyway, a few first-level potions and alchemy-level magic items are nothing to him.

There are still a lot of them in the warehouse at Base 1.

After several transactions, the items Su Nan took out have become the most sought-after items at the party.

In this transaction, Sunan still focused on various wizarding books, rare materials and soul crystals.

However, his collection of wizarding classics now exceeds 1,300, and the people in the jungle hut are basically unable to come up with wizarding classics that are not identical to those he has in his collection.

Gains in this area have declined dramatically in recent times.

After a transaction, Su Nan got a few rare materials, but the ten miniature soul crystals obtained from the corpses were the most valuable.

Su Nan had also tried to test the corpse, wanting to buy the technology for making soul crystals from the other party.

But the corpse refused without hesitation.

He could still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.

The dead body's biggest advantage in the jungle hut transaction is the soul crystal. If the corresponding technology is traded to Sunan, with the foundation and strength that Sunan has shown before, maybe a large number of soul crystals will be produced at the next party. .

By then, not only would he lose Sunan as a high-quality trading partner, but his advantage in party transactions would also be gone.

Anyone who is not stupid knows what to do.

Sunan had already expected it and was not disappointed if he was rejected.

It would have been impossible for him to come up with important skills for trading.

After the transaction was over, Ye Xiao raised his hand to signal everyone to wait a moment.

"I have something to tell you."

"I have found a third-level wizard apprentice. After preliminary investigation, I found that his conditions are in line with the purpose of our Jungle Lodge. I intend to invite him to join the Jungle Lodge and would like to hear your opinions."

Everyone was slightly startled.

Quan Zhi said with a smile: "It's really strange. In the past, it took seven, eight or even ten years to find new members. Why is it so frequent recently?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Sunan.

After all, it has only been about four years since the latter joined Jungle Lodge. It is indeed surprising that a new member candidate was discovered so soon.

After all, third-level wizard apprentices are not cabbages that can be seen everywhere on the street.

These people are often hidden behind major forces and are generally not easy to get in touch with.

Ye Xiao shrugged and said, "I was also lucky. When I was investigating another person, I accidentally discovered his existence."

Hong Xin asked: "What's going on with the other party?"

Night Owl said slowly: "As a rule, I can't reveal the specific situation of that person, I can only give you general information."

"In terms of strength, the one who just escaped from Savulo not long ago should be enough to prove his strength."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked moved.

"You can actually escape from Savullo. It seems that the strength of the new members should not be underestimated." Scepter said thoughtfully.

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement subconsciously.

Su Nan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and used the communication technique to ask Qiangwei: "Who is Savulo? Judging from the looks of the others, that person is very strong?"

Qiangwei glanced at Sunan and used the communication technique to reply: "Saulo is the founder of the Eternal Life Society. I have never met him, but I heard that he is very powerful. He once killed a four-ring legendary beast by himself. "

Four Rings of Legendary Beasts!

Sunan's eyes narrowed.

That strength really cannot be underestimated!

They are among the top few among the third-level wizard apprentices.

I didn’t expect that there would be such a strong person in Yongsheng.

Even though he acted so radically and was able to live freely in the Starlight Continent for many years, the Eternal Life Society indeed still had a few tricks up its sleeve.

"To be able to escape from that Savulo's men, that person must have at least a third-ring legendary level of strength." Hong Xin pondered.

"There is no problem in terms of strength." Qiangwei nodded slightly.

The Jungle Lodge only invites third-level wizard apprentices to join, but not all third-level wizard apprentices can join, and there are strict requirements for strength.

If Sunan hadn't killed Heb and revealed his powerful power, Ye Xiao would not have invited him to join the jungle hut.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Ye Xiao continued: "In terms of resources, that person is from a certain royal family and has a lot of good things on hand, so there is no need to worry about not being able to get the traded items."

"I don't need to say more about the conduct. Everyone should understand."

Generally speaking, wizard apprentices who are from the royal family or nobles will behave in a more orderly manner and will not easily cause disasters or cause a large number of lives.

After all, they themselves have concerns.

The style of this type of person is more in line with a cabin in the woods.

"Now let's vote." Night Owl looked around, "According to the rules, if the number of votes exceeds two-thirds, the issue will be considered passed."

Scepter responded immediately: "I have no objection."

"Agreed." Red Heart said.

Qiangwei and Deathbone immediately expressed no objection.

Naturally, Sunan would not object.

Having another trading partner is a good thing.

"Okay, six votes in favor, the issue passes."

Night Owl made up his mind.

Although Heilin and Traveler were not present, the six votes already exceeded two-thirds of the total number of people, so there was no need to ask them for their opinions.

"I will contact that person next and extend an invitation to him. Just wait for my good news."
