The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 21 Mu Zhuo’s overtures

On the martial arts training ground.

More than twenty knights gathered in a circle, looking at the black rock leopard in the middle with bright eyes, as if they were seeing a beautiful woman taking off her clothes.

As long as you are a knight, there is no one who does not want to own a fine war horse.

Although the Black Rock Leopard is not a war horse in the strict sense, it can still serve as a mount.

The key is that this mount has the combat power of a junior knight. Isn't it much stronger than a war horse?

How majestic it would be to ride on it!

On the battlefield, he is simply invincible!

"Sir, Your Excellency, can you give me one of these black rock leopards first?"

Qiao Dun rushed to Keyi and Sunan with excitement on his face and said so loudly that the entire martial arts field could hear it.

After hearing this, the other knights were immediately dissatisfied.

"Why should I give it to you, an alcoholic, first?"

"I am an intermediate knight, I should go first!"

"Bah, I have the best riding skills, you should give it to me first!"

"You were riding a horse, this is a leopard!"

"Aren't they all the same!"

"Fart, I'm good at riding women, should I go first with the Black Rock Leopard?"

Seeing that everyone was developing into a quarrel, Keyi rubbed his brow with a headache and waved his hands: "Shut up, everyone. Give this black rock leopard to Brad first."

Brad, who was standing quietly aside, didn't expect such a surprise and suddenly beamed with joy.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, Your Excellency."

Qiao Dun and others looked at each other, curled their lips and said nothing.

Brad had a high prestige among the knights and was one of the best in strength. The first black rock leopard was given to him first, and the others had no objections.

As for Keyi, Sunan has already said that he will refine a more powerful black rock leopard for him later.

Sunan threw a necklace to Brad and said, "This is the key to controlling the Black Rock Leopard. As long as you wear it, the Black Rock Leopard will be under your command, but it can only accept some less complex instructions."

"I understand, thank you, Your Excellency!"

Brad put on the necklace excitedly, and under the envious eyes of others, he rode the black rock leopard and ran wildly around the training ground.

Key turned to look at Sunan and asked, "How long does it take to refine a black rock leopard?"

"Just three or four hours."

Seeing Keyi and the knights looking happy, Sunan poured cold water on them again.

"The materials of the black rock leopard are black stone iron and gemstones. The cost of one head is about thirty-eight gold coins."

Hearing this, Keyi frowned, but soon relaxed.

Compared to the increase in military strength, the cost of thirty-eight gold coins is nothing.

As long as the Blackstone Mining Area is open for a day, Blackstone City will have a steady stream of gold coin income.

In contrast, what Black Rock City is in urgent need of now is military power.

Only with a strong army can we defend the cash cow of the Black Stone Mining Area.

"Don't worry about the money. I'll take care of it. Then I'll work hard for you to refine the Black Rock Leopard."

Sunan nodded calmly.

In addition to meditating and making secondary active potions every day, he now spends the rest of his time reading, and basically uses meditation instead of sleeping. It is not difficult to take a few hours to refine the Black Rock Leopard.

Moreover, refining the Black Rock Leopard can also increase the proficiency of puppet refining. Once you refine more and the level increases, the time spent will become shorter and shorter.

This matter won't take up much of his energy.

Two months passed in a blink of an eye.

In the Summer Moon (June), the rising temperature burns the leaves, and the scorching sun licks the ground day after day.

Although the weather is very hot, the faces of the residents of Blackstone City are covered with smiles.

With the restart of the Blackstone Mining Area, a large number of caravans were attracted to Blackstone City.

The prosperity of business has raised people's living standards to a higher level. Although the city had just absorbed a large number of refugees not long ago, the Black Rock Mining Area, the army and the reclamation of wasteland have absorbed this batch of refugees very well, greatly eliminating the impact of the refugees on Black Rock City.

Everyone can see the prosperity of Black Rock City and are more hopeful for the future.

It is worth mentioning that Sunan’s birthday is also in the Summer Moon.

Although Sunan said no, Keyi still insisted on holding a 17th birthday party for him.

All the knights in Black Rock City, as well as several chambers of commerce that work closely with Black Rock City, sent representatives to attend the banquet.

Mu Zhuo, the president of the Firefox Chamber of Commerce, even came over personally to present a precious gift to Sunan—a total of twelve rubies!

Maybe he found out that Black Rock City was acquiring gems.

In any case, this gift worth hundreds of gold coins was unique among all the gifts given by the guests. It was so generous that many people were secretly surprised.

Sunan was also a little surprised.

He could feel Mu Zhuo's intention to have a good relationship with him, but he just didn't understand why the other party would do this.

Could it be that Mu Zhuo was aware of his identity as a wizard's apprentice?

And also understand the meaning of the identity of wizard apprentice?

Though confused, Su Nan did not reject Mu Zhuo's overtures and had a warm conversation with him during the banquet.

"I heard that the old fox Mu Zhuo likes to invest in young people with potential. He probably already knows that you are a wizard apprentice, and he probably understands how powerful a wizard apprentice is, so he gave you such a big gift."

After the banquet, Keyi and Sunan returned to the study, sat down and talked about Mu Zhuo's actions tonight.

"However, the Firefox Chamber of Commerce has influence all over the Principality of Jinghua, and it also has cooperative relationships with many chambers of commerce in the Principality of Stars. If you have a good relationship with him, it will be much easier for you to collect wizard books and materials."

"Indeed." Sunan nodded and glanced at Keyi, "What happened? You seem to be a little absent-minded tonight."

"You saw it."

Key smiled bitterly, then looked serious.

"I arranged for the spies in Glitter City to receive information. Zolf, Norwood and Devon will all attend the harvest celebration held in Glitter City three months later!"

Zolf, Norwood and Devin were all subordinates who followed Baron Arnest on the battlefield, and they were promoted to Lords by him.

However, when Baron Arneste died unexpectedly on the battlefield and Owen broke out to seize the title of baron, the three of them were intimidated by the power of the Marquis of Jinyan and chose to protect themselves wisely.

It was precisely because of the silence of the three that made Owen scrupulous and did not eliminate the two brothers immediately.

However, Key would not be grateful or forgive the three of them.

"If it weren't for my father, how would those three guys have the chance to obtain the title of Lord? But they have no gratitude at all, and now they have turned around and joined that bandit. Damn it!"

Compared to Keyi's anger, Sunan seemed calm and calm, and said calmly:

"Except for Black Rock City, Owen has now completely controlled the entire Flash Territory. I think he will attack us soon."

Key suppressed his anger and frowned.

What Sunan said was also what he was most worried about now.

After thinking for a while, he quickly made up his mind, slapped the armrest of the chair hard, stood up and said solemnly:

"We can't delay it any longer. In three days we will attack the black-scaled lizard lair and deal with the nearest threat first!"

After two months of training, the cavalry regiment formed by Key has begun to take shape.

Although there were only more than sixty people, there were twenty knights, and the rest were all trainee knights.

What's more, the entire cavalry regiment is equipped with a black rock leopard as a mount.

Although he was a bit rushed in time, with this cavalry regiment in hand, Key was still somewhat confident in wiping out the black-scaled lizards.

"Let's do it. I'll go with you." Sunan stood up and said.

If the war is postponed to the Moon of Scrolls (August), and he is promoted to the second-class wizard apprentice before taking action against the black-scaled lizards, the losses will be minimized.

Now, even if we can win, the losses will inevitably be relatively large.

But that's not necessarily the case, after all, he still has the magic scroll as his trump card.

If you're lucky, you might get a good result.
