The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 199 The key is still Sunan

With the capture of Demon Spider City, the entire southeastern region of the underground world fell completely under the control of the Covenant.

The war in the southeastern region subsided, and then it turned to development and development.

In the entire southeast region, the Covenant has almost no external threats. Therefore, except for leaving a small number of garrison troops, most of the military forces are gradually transferred to the northwest region front.

Dragon skeleton tower, study room.

Sunan flipped through the latest battle reports.

The war in the Northwest Territory was going very smoothly. After experiencing disastrous defeats one after another, the Falling Star Alliance had basically collapsed, existing in name only, and fighting independently.

Next, you just need to clean them one by one.

In four or five years at most, the Northwest Territory can be completely conquered.

By then, the entire underground world will be in the hands of the Covenant!

Thinking of that scene, Su Nan couldn't help but smile.

In his plan, the underground world is a very important part.

Even more important than the surface.

The abundant resources in the underground world, especially various mineral metals, play a very important role in building the wizard tower.

The Wizard Tower is essentially a large fortress that can accommodate thousands of people to live and practice, so it requires a huge number of basic building materials.

Various stones and metals are measured in tens of thousands of tons.

Without enough financial support, even the 'shell' of the Wizard Tower cannot be built, let alone the various large-scale facilities behind it.

In the age of wizards, wizards who could afford to build wizard towers often controlled at least one private base, or colonial plane, behind them.

Sunan's plan is to turn the underground world into his own private base and provide various resources and materials for his future development.

As for the surface world, it is currently the dumping ground for Covenant products and the territory that provides Starlight Academy with fresh blood.

It is worth mentioning that the war on the surface world is also going very smoothly.

The unification war launched by the Star Empire has reached its advanced stage, and now only three or four countries are still struggling to support it. However, defeat is only a matter of time.

Judging from the battle reports, the Starry Empire can end the war in the Southeast Region in at most two years.

After that, they may rest for a while, and then launch an expedition to the Northwest Territory.

After closing the battle report and putting it aside, Sunan looked up at the marionette girls guarding both sides of the desk.

The battle with the Demi-Spider God's Familiar had already proven the marionette's combat effectiveness.

Although she was at a disadvantage from beginning to end, her opponent was, after all, a powerful divine creature that could compete head-on with the wizard. To be honest, it was pretty good for the Marionette Girl to be able to do that.

After all, even he himself had used the engraved gems and Black Ting to kill the Half-Spider God Familiar.

However, this battle also exposed the weakness of Secret Puppet - lack of defense.

The body made of diamonds is indestructible when facing opponents below the wizard level.

But once it faces higher-level creatures, it is beyond its capabilities.

Otherwise, Secret Puppet wouldn't have had an arm chopped off by the half-spider god.

You must find a way to strengthen the marionette's defense, otherwise the lack of defense will still become a fatal weakness when you encounter an opponent of the same level next time.

"Synthesizing magic diamonds with higher hardness to replace the current body materials is too inefficient, and the cost will increase significantly."

"Increase defensive enchantment runes. No, the current enchantment runes are at their limit. Unless materials higher than mithril can be found, more enchantment runes cannot be added."

Several ideas came to Su Nan's mind, but he quickly rejected them.

The necessary condition for realizing these ideas is the upgrading of materials.

It is not difficult to do this with a synthetic Rubik's Cube, but the price is a significant increase in cost.

Finally got it done, and the cost was probably a million gold coins.

This was unacceptable to Sunan.

Even if he now controls half of the underground world, he cannot be so extravagant and wasteful.

He also needs to accumulate resources to build a wizard tower and cannot waste too many resources on this.

—Of course, the most important thing is that the price/performance ratio is too low.

After thinking hard for a while, Su Nan suddenly had an idea.

Since you can't start from the body structure, then think of external objects.

Such as magic items.

The marionette has no mental power and cannot activate magic items, but it can embed magic items into the marionette and change the way the magic items are activated, so that the marionette can activate magic items with energy particles.

To use a metaphor, it’s like an external device for a robot.

In fact, the two marionette girls have rings of ultimate protection embedded in them.

If it weren't for the fact that the level of the magic weapon was too high to be embedded in the Marionette's body, Sunan would have wanted to install a restricted area, and his defense would definitely skyrocket.

However, the restricted area cannot be used, but the magic pattern core can be tried.

The magic pattern core itself is a powerful magic item that is both offensive and defensive. If Marionette can fuse the magic pattern core, it will not only greatly enhance the defense, but also provide more diversified attack methods.

Originally, the biggest difference in combat power between marionettes and wizards was their lack of innate abilities, but the magic pattern core could undoubtedly make up for this and narrow the gap with wizards.

The more Sunan thought about it, the more feasible it became.

The only problem is that the magic pattern core relies heavily on the consumption of mental power, and its energy source must be changed so that the Marionette can use it.

It's not easy to do this.

However, if it succeeds, the marionette's combat power will probably be strengthened to the point where it is almost the same as that of the Demi-Spider God Familiar.

Without saying a word, Su Nan added a plan to improve the magic pattern core to his future arrangements.

This is bound to be another time-consuming study.

After that, Sunan looked at the dark branches at hand.

This branch is called the Black Key, and as the name suggests, it is the key to the Black Forest.

After studying during this period of time, Sunan has roughly mastered the use of the Black Key.

At the same time, he also discovered that the Black Key was slowly absorbing energy particles in the surrounding air all the time.

It is expected to take almost three years to be fully charged.

Based on this, Sunan guessed that the Black Forest, like the Tower of Stars, would only be opened every once in a while.

The next time the Black Forest will be opened will most likely be three years from now.

"I hope you can give me a surprise."

Sunan murmured to himself, his eyes flashing.

After the incident at Tower of Stars, he no longer had any good illusions about the so-called wizard inheritance.

It is very likely that the Black Forest is a facility where a certain wizarding force recruits manpower to prepare for its future return.

In order to obtain the resources inside, there will probably be another war.

Although he has been promoted to a wizard and is much stronger than those in the Tower of Stars, Sunan will not underestimate the Black Forest.

After all, it is the inheritance of wizards, and anything involving wizards should not be underestimated. No one knows what dangers there are.

More importantly, the Black Forest is very likely to be related to the Spider Queen. The Philier family has held clues to the Black Forest for so many years, and Sunan didn't believe in the Spider God Queen and didn't care at all.

Maybe she had already extended her tentacles into the Black Forest.

What's more, the reason why the Spider God Queen was able to intervene in the Starlight Continent is most likely related to the Black Forest.

Although it is just speculation, Sunan will not ignore any potential risks.

"Before entering the Black Forest, you must be fully prepared."

Sunan looked thoughtful.

In just three years, there is not a large amount of divine energy to absorb, and the degree of mental concentration will certainly not be greatly improved, so we can only find solutions from external objects.

"After the research on the core of the magic pattern is completed, it is best to refine a few more marionettes."

"Prepare more engraved gems. With my current mental concentration, I should be able to try to increase the number of synthesis. Let's try twenty."

"And Hei Ting, it's time to make a few more."

In the battle to kill the Demi-Spider God's Familiar, Sunan was very satisfied with Hei Ting's power.

At this stage, Hei Ting can be said to be the most powerful attack method at his disposal.

Even liquid metal can't compare to Hei Ting in terms of instantaneous damage.

With such powerful trump cards, the more, the better.

However, Sunan only has two pieces of Black Ting in his hands now.

To create more Black Thunder, a large amount of Thunder Stone is needed.

"It seems like we need to go to the thunder elemental plane as soon as possible."

Among the many elemental planes, the fire elemental plane and the thunder elemental plane are the two most dangerous and unfriendly to life.

For example, in the fire elemental plane, there is a sea of ​​fire everywhere, and the terrible high temperature will instantly turn the knight into ashes as soon as he enters.

The thunder elemental plane is filled with countless thunder clouds. Dense thunder and lightning fall from the sky every minute and every second. You may be struck by lightning while walking.

Without adequate protection, one might not be able to go very far in the thunder elemental plane before being struck to pieces by lightning.

In addition, the elemental spirits in the fire elemental plane and the thunder elemental plane are also very troublesome existences.

When he was first promoted, Sunan would never have set foot on the thunder elemental plane.

But now he has many trump cards such as the restricted area and Black Ting, and his mental concentration is over 40%. He has enough power to try to explore the thunder elemental plane.

As long as you don't go deep into the core area, you shouldn't have a problem if you're careful.

Aurora Kingdom, the capital is Aurora City.

When Triv Janji walked into the meeting hall, he found that the spacious hall was already full of people.

In addition to the royal family, numerous nobles in the kingdom also gathered together.

"It seems that the Starry Empire has put a lot of pressure on it."

Trev's eyes flickered slightly.

There are many of these people who are usually tit-for-tat enemies. Usually when they meet, they would like to draw swords and confront each other, but this time they can sit opposite each other calmly. It can be seen that the pressure brought by the Empire of Stars is so huge that they have to temporarily Let go of hatred and be united in dealing with the outside world.

Trev understands, too.

The Kingdom of Aurora is located on the edge of the Northwest Territory, close to the border of the Southeast Territory, and is the closest country to the rising and powerful empire on the opposite side.

Once a war breaks out, the Aurora Kingdom will bear the brunt. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has reached a life-and-death moment.

"Trev, could you please come over in person?"

Seeing Trev's arrival, King Aurora, who was sitting at the top, stood up and came over in person.

The noisy nobles also stopped and stood up to greet him.

As the only third-level wizard apprentice in the Aurora Kingdom, Trev Janji has a transcendent status in the kingdom. Even His Majesty the King respects him very much and does not dare to neglect him.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Trev sat down next to the king.

When he sat down, King Aurora couldn't wait to speak.

"Trev, you should have heard about the situation in the Southeast Region. What is your opinion?"

Trev considered his words and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Starry Empire's actions so far have all proved that it has huge ambitions. That empire will never be satisfied with just the southeastern region. After digesting the new territories conquered, They will definitely turn their target to our northwest region.”

"Sure enough, you think so too." King Aurora sighed, with worry on his face.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see the plans of the Starry Empire.

If any country were in the position of the Starry Empire and had the power to conquer the Starlight Continent, they would inevitably make the same choice.

"Tref, what do you think we should do?" King Aurora asked worriedly.

The royal family members and nobles present also cast expectant glances at Treve.

They argued for a long time, but still couldn't think of any good solution. Now they could only hope that this wise man, who was always resourceful, would show them a clear way.

Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Trev was silent for a long time, and then slowly said:

"Your Majesty, I think surrendering to the Starry Empire is a good choice."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

Trev didn't care and continued: "The Jinghua Principality in the southeast region surrendered to the Star Empire. None of its royal family members were liquidated. Instead, they were granted the title of duke family. Most of the nobles below the royal family also retained their title. I think our kingdom can follow suit.”

The hall fell into an eerie silence.

The expressions of King Aurora and the royal family members changed.

Although the duke family is not bad, how can it compare with controlling a country.

Once they surrender, their future status and power will inevitably be greatly reduced, which is difficult for them to accept.

The other nobles also looked hesitant.

Although most of the nobles of the Jinghua Principality have retained their territory, no one knows whether they are one of the 'majority'.

Moreover, there is no guarantee that the Aurora Kingdom will receive the same treatment as the Jinghua Principality.

Unless the emperor of the Starry Empire personally guarantees it.

After a long time, King Aurora broke the silence and said in a solemn voice: "Is there any other way?"

Trev sighed secretly, knowing that King Aurora still couldn't let go of his position of power.

He had already been mentally prepared for this and revealed the second method he had already thought of.

"The Starry Empire has strong military strength, but as long as the countries in the northwest region unite, they may not be unable to fight."

"The key is still Sunan!"

The word "Su Nan" seemed to have some kind of magic power, causing everyone in the hall to suddenly change their expressions.

Today, Sunan's reputation has spread throughout the continent.

Especially in the circles of wizard apprentices, royal families and upper-class nobility.

Everyone knew that the Starry Empire had an official wizard.

As soon as he was promoted, he killed more than a dozen third-level wizard apprentices in the Parliament of Truth with thunderous means, showing the tyrannical power of wizards to the entire continent!

When this news came back to the Northwest Territory, it caused an uproar!
