The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 177 The truth about wizard inheritance

Su Nan retracted his palm with a relaxed smile on his face.

The first test was almost not difficult for him, so it took a little more time to learn the final spell.

[Now begins the second level, the skill assessment. 】

[Please choose the type you want to assess among the following four skills. 】

[Potion making, biological modification, magic item making, puppet refining. 】

"Assessing skills?"

Sunan barely hesitated and quickly chose puppet refining.

In addition to having the highest [Puppet Refining] skill level, it is also because he has the most high-level puppet designs in his hands.

If he chooses to make potions or magic items, he will be blind if he is asked to make high-level potions or low-level magic items.

After all, the high-end potions and low-light magic items so far have been synthesized by him, and there is no corresponding formula or design drawing at all.

On the contrary, they are puppets. From clay golems, stone golems, steel golems, to adamantine golems and marionettes, the designs he holds in his hand range from knight level to four-ring legendary level. Regardless of the content of the assessment, he needs to refine it. No matter what level of puppet he makes, he can handle it more calmly.

The next moment Sunan chose puppet refining, a door suddenly opened on the wall on the right, and a team of clay golems walked out carrying things.

But they are various metals, gems and soul crystals.

Sunan even saw high-end gems and small soul crystals inside.

After putting down the materials, the clay golems returned to the door. Then there was a dull sound of footsteps, and a tall figure walked out from behind the door.

That's a huge puppet!

It was about seven or eight meters tall, and its entire body was made of huge bones. Its pupils glowed with strange dark red blood, and its whole body exuded a stench and evil aura.

It also held a sharp bone battle ax in its hand.

Skeleton Golem!

Sunan immediately recognized the origin of the demon in front of him.

A kind of golem made from biological bones as the main material. It is a type of golem commonly used by many wizards (apprentices) who specialize in the undead faction.

"Is it possible that he is the builder of the Tower of Stars or a wizard who specializes in the undead faction?"

Sunan thought secretly.

[The remaining time of the challenge is 87 days, 22 hours and 18 minutes. Please refine the puppet to destroy the skeleton golem within the specified time. The number is uncertain. If the time is exceeded or all the materials are consumed, it will be deemed a failure if the skeleton golem is not destroyed. 】

Su Nan felt relieved, the content of this assessment was quite easy.

The Skeleton Golem's combat effectiveness is similar to that of the Steel Golem.

One Iron Golem may not be enough to destroy the Bone Golem, but two are certainly enough.

So far, Sunan has refined hundreds of steel golems, and the refining process has become extremely familiar. It only takes less than a day to finish two steel golems.

In fact, this was the case. Within a day, two new steel golems were released.

Then came the battle.

Just as Sunan expected, the two steel golems easily suppressed the skeleton golem and tore it into pieces in less than ten minutes.

【pass! 】

A ray of light suddenly shot out from nowhere, instantly disintegrating a steel demon statue and turning it into metal fragments all over the ground.

Then another ray of light came, and the second steel golem was shattered into pieces.

Rumble.

The clay golem walked out of the door and carried the materials back, and the bones and metal fragments on the ground were also cleaned up.

[Now begins the third level, the actual combat assessment! 】

As the sound fell, the opposite wall suddenly rumbled open to both sides, revealing a large area of ​​darkness.

A huge gray hand suddenly popped out of the darkness, followed by arms, a head, a torso, and a lower body.

A huge creature soon appeared in front of Sunan.

It was an extremely huge giant. His skin was dark gray with a hint of cyan, dotted with dark or light markings. His neck, shoulders and arms were dotted with pebble-like bones and skin the size of coins. Hard lump.

Its face has no eyebrows, prominent brow ridges, a broad jaw, and hard lumps scattered on its head.

There was no hair on his body, even his head was bald.

"Goliath!"

Sunan raised his eyebrows and recognized the origin of the creature in front of him.

Goliath is a type of giant with infinite strength and the ability to control airflow.

When this alien creature reaches adulthood, it has the power of a three-ring legend close to that of a fourth-ring legend. It is a very powerful creature and a natural warrior.

After climbing out from behind the door, Goliath immediately stood up straight, reaching a height of fifteen or six meters. Combined with the huge and burly gray body, it gave people a heavy and oppressive feeling like a towering mountain.

【Defeat the trial creature to pass the level! 】

Su Nan couldn't help but curl his lips when he thought of the two steel golems that had just been disintegrated.

This assessment really doesn't allow anyone to exploit any loopholes.

"roar!"

Goliath roared, raised the huge mace in his hand, and charged towards Sunan like a charging tank. The oncoming violent air wave even made Sunan's robes flutter.

Su Nan's expression remained unchanged, and with a slight movement of his mind, countless silver metallic liquids gush out of his body, turning into a metal storm and sweeping out, drowning Goliath like a torrent!

Tsk tsk tsk!

The endless muffled sound of sharp blades cutting flesh echoed in the hall, suppressing the miserable howls.

After four or five breaths, the metal storm flowed back, submerged into Sunan's body and disappeared.

Goliath has also disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood proving its former existence.

The level 5 magic pattern core was used with all its strength, and even Goliath, whose strength was close to that of the four-ring legend, could not resist it, and was instantly killed in just one encounter.

【Clear customs clearance. 】

The meat ball not far away opened and closed its mouth, spitting out a familiar mechanical sound.

[Congratulations on successfully passing the trial, getting an A+ rating, and receiving the inheritance reward! 】

Click!

In the center of the hall, three cracks suddenly opened in the ground. A rectangular stone pillar slowly rose from each crack. It rose to about 3 meters and then stopped.

There is a bottle of potion placed on the top of the stone pillar on the far right.

In the transparent medicine bottle, the lavender liquid shines charmingly under the light of the eternal pearl.

There is a book placed on the stone pillar in the middle.

On the stone pillar on the far left is a round silver bead the size of an egg.

[Construction potion, ‘White Bone’ intermediate talent crystal model, spiritual pearl. 】

[This is your inheritance reward! 】

Construct potion!

Sunan felt happy.

As can be seen from the name, this is a potion specially used to speed up the construction of talent crystal models. After taking it, it can greatly increase the construction speed.

A bottle of construction potion allows a wizard apprentice to successfully construct a lower-level talent crystal model within a month. The effect is incredible!

Whether it was in the prosperous age of wizards thousands of years ago or in the era of wizards' return in the future, construction potions were extremely precious potions that were basically monopolized by those wizard forces, and wild wizard apprentices could not even take a look at them.

The builder of Tower of Stars was actually willing to give out a structure potion as a reward, even if it was an A+ evaluation reward, it really surprised Sunan.

The 'White Bones' intermediate talent crystal model is also a very good reward, but now Sunan no longer looks down upon it.

As for the Spiritual Pearl, as the name suggests, it is a crystal formed by highly condensing spiritual power, which can be used to quickly restore spiritual power.

However, this thing can only be refined by formal wizards, and it comes at the cost of permanently reducing one's mental power.

Except for some wizards whose life span is approaching, very few people are willing to sacrifice themselves like this, so the value of the spiritual pearl is also very precious.

Needless to say, the 'White Bone' talent crystal model, the construction potion and the spiritual pearl are obviously prepared for the second and third steps of constructing the model.

Su Nan estimated that in the Star Tower trial estimate, those who could get an A+ evaluation were the third-level wizard apprentices who were about to construct or were constructing talent crystal models, so these things were given as inheritance rewards.

I have to admit that the builder of the Tower of Stars is still very generous.

With this thought in mind, Su Nan stretched out his hand towards the structural potion, but was blocked by an invisible force field before he even touched it.

"??"

Sunan was stunned.

At this time, the meat ball not far away opened its mouth again.

[Wizard Apprentice, according to the rules of Tower of Stars, if you want to get inheritance rewards, you must first sign an oath contract. 】

Oath contract?

Su Nan frowned slightly and asked, "What is the content of the contract?"

There was a flash of light and shadow in front of him, and lines of text appeared one after another.

After reading these words, Sunan's face suddenly darkened.

The content of the oath contract actually requires him to become a member of the wizard organization [Throne of Darkness] from now on. He must not disobey any order of [Throne of Darkness] or do anything detrimental to [Throne of Darkness].

To put it simply, once he signs this oath contract, he becomes a hard-working slave of the [Dark Throne].

It is said to be an oath contract, but in fact it is no less harsh than a soul contract.

Unless his head was caught in the door, it would be impossible for Sunan to sign such a contract.

Furthermore, others didn't know it, but he knew it very well.

There are not many wizarding forces in the multiverse that can be said to be famous and well-established. There are only about a dozen of them, and [Throne of Darkness] is one of them.

Most of the members of this wizard force are wizards specializing in the undead system, and their behavior is extremely extreme.

If that's all, forget it. The key is that the organizational structure of [Throne of Darkness] has a strong feudal undertones.

High-level wizards are high above others and occupy and enjoy most of the resources.

The members at the bottom are the exploited class. They have signed an oath contract and can only work hard to collect and create resources for the organization for the use of the higher-ups.

They say they are wizards, but in reality they are no different than slaves.

The reason why the soul contract is not used, but the name of the oath contract is used, is just to reduce the resistance of the signer.

It is precisely because of this that [Dark Throne] has an extremely bad reputation in the wizarding world, and is despised by many wizards.

"No wonder Starlight Continent has left a legacy of wizards."

Sunan finally understood.

He had always had doubts before.

Wizards as a group have always been indifferent to their sense of responsibility.

After the expedition to the multiverse, there are still wizards who have left a legacy in the Starlight Continent, leaving some hope for those who come after to be promoted to wizards. This is not normal.

At first, Sunan thought it was a special individual among the wizards who gave without asking for anything in return, but now it seemed that the truth was completely different from what he had guessed.

The Tower of Stars is actually a facility set up by [Dark Throne] in Starlight Continent specifically for the development of members.

Because of its poor reputation, few people in the multiverse are willing to join the [Dark Throne].

In order to develop members, [Dark Throne] often adopts some less bright methods.

Tower of Stars is obviously one of them.

Without knowing the true identity of [Throne of Darkness], facing the generous inheritance rewards and the hope of being promoted to wizard, I am afraid that few people can resist the temptation and not sign the oath contract.

Once signed, when the elements recover in the future and the wizard returns, these people will discover the true face of the [Dark Throne] and it will be too late to regret it.

"It is indeed the same shameless style as [Throne of Darkness]."

Sunan curled her lips in disdain.

Just know that there is no such thing as a pie in the sky.

The so-called wizard inheritance is actually a scam.

From this point of view, the Black Forest and Falling Star City, which are as famous as the Tower of Stars, may also have a lot of tricks.

Even if it is not a fire pit like the Tower of Stars, at least it is impossible to easily obtain knowledge inheritance and resources without any effort.

"Forget it, think about the Black Forest and Falling Star City later, deal with the matter in front of you now."

It is naturally impossible to sign an oath contract, and Sunan will not jump into the fire pit on his own initiative.

But according to the usual behavior of [Throne of Darkness], at this point, even if he gives up the reward and does not want to sign the oath contract, I am afraid that the other party will not allow it.

Su Nan raised his head and glanced at the flesh ball, and said solemnly: "I refuse to sign the oath contract and give up the inheritance reward."

After a few seconds of silence, the meatball made a sound again.

[Challengers who refuse to sign the contract need to make up for the resources and energy lost in the trial. The cost is thirty advanced magic stones. Please pay! 】

[Those who cannot pay will be wiped out! 】

really!

Sunan sneered.

In today's Starlight Continent, where are there any wizard apprentices who can afford thirty advanced magic stones?

Even for Sunan, there are a lot of magic stones lying in his space ring, but they are not enough to synthesize thirty advanced magic stones.

Even he is like this, let alone everyone else.

The rule of Tower of Stars clearly does not give challengers any chance to choose.

Either sign the oath contract or die!

There is no third option!

[Please make your choice, challenger! 】

[Pay the fee or sign the oath contract! 】

Hundreds of mouths on the surface of the meat ball are constantly opening and closing, making mechanical and cold sounds.

Sunan could vaguely feel that something in the hall seemed to be targeting him, and if he refused, he would immediately launch an attack.

The cold pressure suddenly enveloped the whole body!

Su Nan seemed unaware of it, a cold smile flashed across his face.

"Fuck your choice!"

He suddenly reached out and grabbed the structural potion, and countless silver metal liquids emerged at the same time, turning into a metal storm and slamming into the invisible force field!
