The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 185 The Forbidden Zone and Hei Ting (Additional update 13 for the alliance leader's "Thirty-four pages of the textbook")

In the eyes of many wizards, witchcraft is truly a magical item.

The alchemy grade and shimmer grade below this are nothing more than defective and inferior products.

Even the lowest level first-level witchcraft is far more powerful than the low-level magic items.

High-level witchcraft weapons are not even inferior to legendary artifacts.

In the brightly lit workshop.

The large workbench is filled with densely packed shimmer-level magic items.

These were all made by Sunan during this period.

Sunan had already considered the type of witchcraft weapon.

The first is the protective magic weapon, which is indispensable.

In view of the excellent performance of the Ring of Ultimate Protection in the past, Sunan decided to continue using this type of protective magic weapon for the new one.

In fact, force field protection is also the choice of most wizards.

In addition to physical attacks, the protective force field also has excellent defense against invisible attacks such as soul impact.

But Sunan's plan doesn't stop there.

Just pure defense is no longer enough to satisfy his thoughts.

It is best to add some extra functions while protecting.

Adding offensive capabilities is obviously out of the question.

Even with the magic pattern core that is capable of both offense and defense, attack and defense are separated and cannot be carried out at the same time.

The same goes for magic items.

But the attack ability is not possible, but some auxiliary abilities, such as field control or debuffs, are available.

It happened that Su Nan found many design drawings of magic items in the books in the Tower of Stars, so he simply looked for inspiration from them, borrowed many magic items, and researched and created a new alchemy-level magic item by himself.

The reason why it is alchemical level is because it is too difficult to create new shimmer level magic items.

Anyway, it can be enhanced through synthesis, so Su Nan naturally chose to make it simple, as long as the desired function is designed.

The magic ring finally created still has the invisible force field protection of the protective ring, but the force field is no longer as close to the body surface as before, but has greatly expanded in size, forming a ball with a radius of one meter centered on the user. Physical field.

All enemies entering this force field will be suppressed by the force field, which is equivalent to a layer of heavy pressure BUFF, and their movements will be greatly restricted.

In this way, the new magic items achieve both defense and field control effects.

Of course, as functions increase, the effect of a single function decreases.

The most obvious point is that the defensive function of the protective force field is significantly reduced.

But Sunan didn't care, Rubik's Cube synthesis could solve this problem.

He put the rings on the workbench into the Rubik's Cube one by one and started the synthesis.

After twenty-six rings were put down, the words "Witch Weapon" instantly appeared on the synthesis interface.

However, this was only the lowest level of witchcraft. Sunan did not stop and continued to put in more rings.

Every time he synthesized an additional ring, Sunan would take out his magic weapon and try to sense it.

The use of witchcraft will also be limited by mental power.

If you don't have enough mental power, forcing yourself to use high-level witchcraft will only cause you to suffer backlash, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

He couldn't let the power of the witchcraft exceed the limit of his endurance.

After synthesizing seventy-eight rings, Sunan finally felt the load that was approaching the limit.

"Is this the limit?"

Su Nan glanced at the synthesis interface, and the level above was still 'First Level'.

He vaguely felt that this witchcraft was still quite far away from breaking through to the second level.

However, his strength at this time can only be loaded to this extent.

"When the condensation progress improves, we can continue the synthesis."

Sunan took out the ring, put it on, and then activated it.

In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to be distorted, and an invisible wave centered on Sunan suddenly spread to all directions.

Crunch!

The metal workbench in front of him suddenly flattened, as if an invisible giant hand was holding it down and pressing down hard.

Accompanied by an overwhelming harsh sound, this workbench, which was made of demonized refined iron and was much harder than the steel golem, turned into a flat pile of scrap iron in the blink of an eye.

Su Nan thought to himself that he had neglected it, and with a quick thought, the heavy pressure on the scrap metal immediately dissipated.

As the user of the magic weapon, he can determine the target of the force field.

"The radius of the force field is about five meters."

Sunan nodded secretly.

This is equivalent to a small field.

Judging from the workbench that turned into scrap metal, this force field's mere heavy pressure is enough to easily kill a legendary ring instantly.

However, it still needs to be tested specifically.

Sunan teleported to the training area and released several fine gold demon statues and marionettes to start testing.

He was very satisfied with the result.

It is as strong as an adamantine golem and cannot move within the force field.

The marionette of the Fourth Ring Legend can barely move despite the heavy pressure, but the speed is not much better than that of an old man in his seventies or eighties.

It can be said that once creatures below wizards enter the range of the force field, they must use all their strength just to resist the heavy pressure and cannot do anything else at all.

If used to deal with first- and second-level legendary creatures, the heavy pressure effect that was originally just an auxiliary can completely play a terrifying killing effect.

In terms of defense, if converted into defense level, it is probably between 53,000 and 55,000.

It is more than fifty times that of the Ring of Ultimate Protection!

Such an astonishing defensive power is not much inferior to his talent of 'liquid metal'.

Of course, the defense of 'liquid metal' is instantaneous damage defense, while the defense of force field is continuous damage defense. Once the energy is consumed, it must be recharged before it can be used, and the defense effect is still not as good as the former.

Perhaps the only advantage is that it can be equipped in batches.

"It's a pity that without wizard-level combat power to assist in testing, we can't get more specific data."

Sunan felt slightly regretful.

Having said that, the test data he has obtained now makes him very satisfied.

"Gotta get a new name."

Stroking the ring's textured, uneven surface, Su Nan quickly came up with an idea.

"Just call it the 'forbidden zone'."

Almost all the rings in the forbidden zone were used up, so Sunan could only suspend the idea of ​​​​synthesizing the second one.

Like the Ring of Ultimate Protection, he planned to synthesize at least five pieces of 'forbidden areas' and carry them with him.

No one can have too many life-saving measures. It's just that there are a lot of magic items needed to synthesize the witchcraft, and it will probably take some time to accumulate them.

After solving the protective witchcraft, the natural next step is to attack the witchcraft.

In this regard, Su Nan took a fancy to a shimmer-level magic item called 'Black Ting' in the designs of Tower of Stars.

The main material for making Black Ting is taken from the thunder stone deep in the thunder elemental plane.

This kind of stone has been bombarded by thunder all year round. Over hundreds of years, all impurities and residues have been eliminated by the thunder. What remains is the most refined part, which contains extremely rich particles of violent thunder and lightning energy.

Black Thunder, made of Thunder Stone, can turn all lightning energy particles into violent black thunder after activation, and launch a thunderous strike against the target, which is extremely powerful.

What Sunan values ​​​​is this simple, straightforward and powerful form of attack.

After all, he already has 'liquid metal' for flexible attacks.

Among the materials obtained from the Tower of Stars were many thunder stones. Sunan spent a month refining more than ten pieces of black thunder, and then synthesized the ultimate witchcraft.

With the power of the attacking witchcraft, it was impossible to withstand even a marionette, so he could only find a place where no one was around, briefly test Hei Ting's power, and then give up.

If you want to really get detailed data, I'm afraid you have to wait until the hidden dragon evolves into a dragon clan and has a suitable test subject.

With the remaining thunder stones, Sunan planned to make some more black thunder stones to synthesize a second witchcraft.

If you want to make more Black Thunder Witch Weapons in the future, you can only go to the Thunder Elemental Plane to collect more Thunder Stones.

Although a first-level wizard does not yet have the ability to travel through planes, he can still briefly enter the elemental plane.

However, the thunder elemental plane is also known to be dangerous among many elemental planes. Thinking carefully, Sunan plans to accumulate more strength and trump cards before entering it.

It is worth mentioning that during the process of testing the restricted area and Hei Ting, Sunan noticed an issue that cannot be ignored—the charging of the magic weapon.

Witchcraft is extremely powerful, and the energy particles it needs to absorb to recover after consumption are far more than those of low-light magic items.

This has also resulted in the charging of wizard weapons becoming a very long process in the current environment of Starlight Continent.

Preliminary estimates indicate that it will take more than two months to recharge the restricted area.

Because Black Ting can only absorb lightning energy particles, its charging speed is even slower. It takes more than eight months to charge once.

The only advantage is that Hei Ting's power will not be affected by the lack of energy.

After all, its power comes from stored energy particles.

"If we encounter a battle in the future, we'd better use liquid metal as much as possible."

Liquid metal is much less expensive than spells and magic items.

The talent energy itself is inherently less affected by energy shortage, and liquid metal is not the type that eats up the concentration of energy particles, so it is naturally less affected.

If not, the wizard Sunan's combat effectiveness would probably be weakened to the point where he is no more powerful than a third-level wizard apprentice.

Putting away the witchcraft, Sunan let out a long sigh of relief.

The most important potions and magic weapons have been solved, and then you can focus on other aspects.

Such as puppets.

During this period, Sunan took the time to replenish the high-end combat power of two small golem legions. Now the entire Star Alliance has six small golem legions.

To be more precise, there is a medium-sized golem army and a small golem army.

The seventh small golem army is also being formed.

However, the main force in refining the golems is the apprentices at the base. Sunan is only responsible for a small number of high-level puppets and does not expend much energy.

His focus was on Marionette.

In the more than two years since leaving, the Covenant has successively developed three silver veins, including a medium-sized silver vein, and accumulated nearly 30 kilograms of mithril.

It’s almost enough to refine two marionettes.

But Sunan was not prepared to do this.

In the past, he had to refine a crude version of marionette due to limitations in skills, materials, and strength.

Now that we have the materials, and the strength and skill level are sufficient, we can naturally try to refine the original version of the marionette.

The complete version of marionette has combat power comparable to that of a formal wizard!

"The complete version of Secret Puppet costs almost thirty-six kilograms of mithril."

Su Nan had just made a lot of money from the space rings of everyone in the Tower of Stars and the Council of Truth. The materials he acquired included more than ten kilograms of mithril. Together with the ones in Longlin's warehouse, it was more than enough to refine the complete marionette.

"Wizard-level mental power and level 5 [Puppet Refining] are enough for refining."

In addition to mithril, the complete version of marionette also requires a large number of gems, rare metals, and most importantly, medium-sized soul crystals.

Sunan has no shortage of these materials now. There is a pile of them lying in the space ring, all contributed by the Tower of Stars and the Parliament of Truth.

However, having just finished making the witchcraft, Sunan planned to take a few days off to recuperate before refining the marionette.

Back in the study, Sunan sat down behind the desk and picked up a book.

These days, he has finished reading the books he brought from the Tower of Stars.

In addition to knowledge, he also knew some secrets of events thousands of years ago.

In the multiverse, Starlight Continent is not the only plane where elemental deserts appear.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless similar planes.

The wizards also concluded some rules from it.

There are many causes of elemental deserts, but only two are the most common.

One is the weakening of the origin of the plane.

In layman's terms, it means that the lifespan of the plane is approaching, which leads to a sharp decline in elemental energy.

The elemental desert caused by this reason is irreversible, and will continue to worsen until the origin of the plane is completely dissipated and the entire plane is annihilated.

The second one is related to the plane barrier.

There are as many planes in the multiverse as there are stars, and there are all kinds of different types.

Not all planes have objects such as gravity, soil, magma, sunlight, air, and water. Some planes are even completely void, without even a piece of land that can be set foot on.

But any complete plane that is born with life must have elemental energy such as earth, water, wind, fire, thunder and lightning. The difference is only the amount.

There is a special layer of barrier between these planes and the elemental plane. In layman's terms, it is like a layer of gauze with many small holes.

Through this layer of 'gauze', elemental energy can slowly flow into the plane.

The move of the wizard (apprentice) to open up the elemental pool is equivalent to enlarging a certain hole in the 'gauze', thereby increasing the inflow of elemental energy.

However, just a thousand years ago, the barrier between the Starlight Continent and the Elemental Plane changed.

The holes in this layer of 'gauze' became smaller, causing the inflow of elemental energy to be greatly reduced, turning the entire Starlight Continent into an elemental desert.

In order to solve this problem, the wizards worked together to repair the plane barrier before leaving the Starlight Continent.

According to their estimates, the dimensional barriers of Starlight Continent will be fully restored in about two thousand years.

During this period, the entire Starlight Continent will be isolated. Any existence whose life level exceeds a certain limit will not be able to enter or exit the Starlight Continent. Forced entry or exit will inevitably involve paying a huge price.

In fact, many planes have similar rules, so beings with high life levels like gods cannot easily descend to the material plane.

The wizards have further strengthened this restriction based on the original rules of Starlight Continent to prevent high-level creatures from entering and exiting, destroying the gradually restoring balance of elements.
