The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 212 Transformation of the Undead

"Facardo and the others have decided to join the academy."

In the study room, Sunan, Qiangwei and Scepter sat opposite each other.

After listening to Quan Zang's words, Sunan looked calm and not surprised.

As early as when he invited the four Facardos, he knew that they would eventually agree to join Starlight Academy.

Unless they don't want to improve their strength and become a wizard, they will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of freely exchanging resources.

In the entire Starlight Continent, only the platform of Starlight Academy (Star Alliance) has enough resources to support their promotion to wizards.

"Other wizard apprentices from the Russell family also joined the academy."

Scepter took a sip of scented tea, and the scent of the Ningshen flower made him feel slightly refreshed.

"In addition, the wizard qualification test in the Northwest Territory just ended last month. A new batch of students just arrived at the academy yesterday, with a total of 523 students. Now the total number of students in the academy has exceeded 1,400."

Su Nan nodded slightly: "What about the number of second-level wizard apprentices?"

"One hundred and two people." Scepter reported a number without even thinking. He was obviously familiar with the development of the college. "The number is still growing. It is estimated that in another twenty or thirty years, the number of second-level wizard apprentices is likely to be Breaking through three hundred.”

Sunan nodded clearly.

From the base era to the current academy, after years of accumulation, the second-level wizard apprentices have ushered in the moment of accumulation and success. In the future, the number of second-level wizard apprentices will only grow faster and faster.

As for the third-level wizard apprentice, that is still far away.

When will we wait until Starlight Academy has its first student to be promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice?

"There are more than 1,400 students. If it weren't for four more instructors, I would be too busy just teaching." Qiangwei complained slightly.

Scepter nodded in agreement.

The number of tutors in Starlight Academy is still too small, with a ratio of nearly 500 to one, which makes the three tutors feel a lot of pressure.

If it weren't for the fact that more lectures meant more contributions, they would have protested long ago.

Fortunately, with the addition of the four Facardos, the pressure is finally not so great now.

Su Nan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

After a pause, he then said thoughtfully, "If you have other third-level wizard apprentices you know, you might as well extend an invitation to them. As long as they are approved by me and most of you mentors, you can join the academy as mentors."

"No problem!" Quan Zhi responded with a smile, "I happen to have a few people I know."

Qiangwei also said that she would contact him.

"By the way, where is the traveler?" Sunan finally remembered another person who was not present.

"He went into seclusion," Qiangwei said. "The traveler plans to transform himself into a semi-elemental life to extend his life."

After a pause, she added, "In fact, I also plan to undergo a semi-elemental transformation in the near future."

"Me too." Scepter said with a serious look, "I plan to exchange some blood for high-level sub-dragon species and then perform blood fusion."

Sunan's expression changed slightly.

The plans of Qiangwei and the others reminded him that none of them had ever undergone life-extending biomodification surgery.

As far as Sunan knew, there were usually only three ways for wizard apprentices to extend their lives, apart from taking special potions such as Dawn Potion.

In addition to semi-elemental transformation and bloodline fusion, there is another way to transform into an undead form.

Completely transform the body and soul into the undead form, thereby greatly extending the life span.

Of course, the wizard's apprentice in undead form is not truly immortal, but his life span will be increased by two to three hundred years, an increase far greater than the previous two methods.

But the cost is also very huge.

First, the conversion conditions are harsh and the success rate is low.

In addition to requiring a lot of resources, you also need to find a place with strong negative energy like the Black Forest as a place for transformation.

Even if all conditions are met, the conversion success rate will not be higher than 20%.

Secondly, even if the transformation of overwhelming luck is successful, it will be difficult to increase in strength in the future, and there is basically no hope of being promoted to a wizard.

You must know that the reason why most wizard apprentices extend their lifespan is to buy more time to be promoted to wizards. Transforming the undead can be said to be putting the cart before the horse, so very few wizard apprentices will choose this method.

In comparison, although the lifespan increased by semi-elementalization and bloodline fusion is less, at least there is room for progress and hope for promotion.

However, most wizards will not undergo semi-elemental transformation and blood fusion during the apprenticeship stage.

After all, biological modification at this stage will not greatly improve one's own strength, but will also affect future development.

It is best to wait until you are promoted to a wizard, and then choose a more powerful bloodline to fuse, or carry out deeper elementalization, which will be more conducive to future growth.

It's just that in today's Starlight Continent, wizard apprentices basically have no choice.

After the Qiangwei trio joined Starlight Academy, they were no longer so scarce in terms of resources, but they had 'wasted' too much time before. If they followed the rules step by step, the probability of being promoted to a wizard before dying was very slim.

Therefore, the only options are semi-elementalization and bloodline fusion.

Even so, the probability of the three of them being promoted to official wizards is still extremely low, less than 10%.

Not even as good as the outstanding apprentices Sherman and Corey.

At least the latter has a good chance of being promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice before the age of fifty. In the future, he will spend much more time on sprinting wizards than Qiangwei and the other three, and he is more likely to be promoted successfully.

To be honest, Sunan wouldn't mind if one or two more wizards from the Covenant came out.

In the future, when fighting against [Throne of Darkness], one or two more combat powers will be gained.

In view of this, he is now researching the formula of the construction potion.

There are still more than fifty bottles of structural medicine brought out from the Tower of Stars, which is a lot, but it will be used up one day.

To prepare for a rainy day, a new structural potion must be produced as soon as possible.

It is definitely impossible to find the main materials for making structural potions on the Starlight Continent, and it is equally difficult to research alternative materials.

So Sunan simply went in the opposite direction and focused on researching a weakened version of the structural potion.

As long as it is successfully developed, no matter how weak the effect is, a potion that is not inferior to the original version can be synthesized through the Rubik's Cube.

After chatting with Qiangwei about the academy for a while, Sunan left the study and went straight to the construction site of the Wizard Tower in Area 2.

After more than a year of construction, the base and body of the Wizard Tower are nearly completed, and he has now begun building the central crystal energy transmission system.

After the construction of the central crystal energy transmission system is completed, the element pool will follow.

As long as these two facilities can operate smoothly, the foundation of the Wizard Tower will be laid, and then space planning can be carried out.

"Before that, it's best to get the tower spirit out, so that we can control the construction speed of the wizard tower in real time."

Sunan decided to start refining the tower spirit when he returned.

This is also a difficult project.

The refining difficulty of the tower spirit is only higher than that of marionette.

Starlight calendar year 1288, the month of sleep (December).

According to records in some wizarding books, the Sleeping Moon symbolizes talent.

Some wizards who specialize in prophecy believe that babies born in this month have extraordinary potential.

Potential means the power of sleep, and sleep corresponds to awakening—starting from sleep and ending with awakening—this is what the Sleeping Moon represents.

This month is also the most important month in the first year of saying goodbye to the old.

Fleming agreed with this statement in his heart.

Because he was born in the Sleeping Moon. "What are you looking at, Fleming."

Donohan's voice came to his ears, interrupting Fleming's contemplation.

He didn't even raise his head, and said something casually while turning the pages.

"An astrology book with interesting content."

"When did you become interested in this?" Donohan was very curious.

In his impression, Fleming never seemed to read such books.

"For wizards, knowledge is power, and it would be good to dabble in more other knowledge."

Fleming placed the bookmark in the middle of the page, closed the book and set it aside.

"I heard from Tutor Qiangwei that Mr. Sunan has memorized all the books in the academy and the Dragon Bone Tower library."

Donohan curled his lips and said, "You also know that's Mr. Sunan. It takes us several months to thoroughly understand a spell book. It would take years of monkeys and months of horses to read all the books in the library."

"Stop talking about this, are you going to the banquet tonight?"

Fleming nodded without thinking: "Senior Sherman has helped me so much. Tonight's banquet is to celebrate his and Senior Corey's promotion to third-level wizard apprentices. Of course I will go."

"I'm so envious of you for getting the invitation." A trace of envy flashed in Donohan's eyes.

The banquet was held jointly with two wizard apprentices who had a good relationship with Sherman and Corey. Considering the venue constraints, only second-level wizard apprentices were invited.

In the fifth year after entering the academy, Fleming had been promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice, so he was naturally invited.

In the eyes of many students, this is proof that Fleming's talent has been recognized by his seniors, making others envious of him.

Fleming felt a little proud in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He changed the subject and said, "I heard that Tatjana also wants to attend the banquet?"

"Of course, she is a foreign student who was personally named by Mr. Sunan to join the academy. Several instructors take good care of her. The organizers of the banquet will definitely not miss her."

Mentioning this, there was a hint of jealousy in Donohan's tone.

"Don't say that, Tatjana's talent is still outstanding."

"She spent much more time getting started with meditation than you did."

"That's because she is not a human. If she were a human, her talent would definitely be better than mine."

Fleming's words were sincere.

Dark elves practice the star ring meditation method created based on humans, and it is certain that they will get twice the result with half the effort.

However, even so, Tatjana still only took two months to learn the Star Ring Meditation Method. This qualification is really amazing.

If there were meditation methods and spell books specially created for dark elves in this world, she might be able to increase her strength faster than Senior Sherman and Senior Corey.

It can only be said that the person who can be named by Mr. Sunan to join the academy must have something extraordinary about him.

After chatting with Donohan for a while, Fleming sent him away and began his daily meditation in the dormitory.

By the time the meditation was over, it was getting dark outside.

Fleming looked up at the quartz clock on the wall. It was still half an hour before the banquet started, so he got up and left the dormitory.

The seniors who held the banquet reserved the top floor of the second cafeteria.

When Fleming arrived at the top hall, there were already many people inside.

The dining tables covered with white cloth were filled with a variety of delicious dishes and drinks. Beautiful water elves were walking back and forth between the dining tables carrying dinner plates, their movements as graceful as dancing.

Fleming admired it for a while, then reluctantly looked away, searching for Senior Sherman's position.

Soon, he found his target.

In fact, it's quite conspicuous.

In the center of the restaurant, Seniors Sherman and Senior Corey were surrounded by a group of people talking like stars.

"Xie Man, I heard that the college intends to invite you to be a tutor?"

"There is this intention, and Kore has also received the invitation."

"Then what are your plans?"

"Needless to say, of course I accepted it. The contribution points and exchangeable resources that the mentor can get are much more than those of the students, right, Sherman, Corey."

"That's what I plan to do," Sherman said with a smile.

"Same." Corey was as taciturn as ever.

Fleming sounded a little envious.

I wonder if he can be promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice at this age?

After a while, the students surrounding the two people gradually dispersed, and Fleming finally found the opportunity to step forward.

"Senior Sherman and Senior Corey, congratulations to both of you on your promotions."

"Long time no see, Junior Fleming, thank you for coming to the banquet." Sherman smiled gently.

Kore also nodded lightly towards Fleming.

He is a typical strength supremacist and does not want to pay attention to people without strength and talent, and Felai is obviously not in this category.

"Your honor, Senior Sister Atil." Fleming then looked at Atil who was standing aside.

It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. Senior Sister Atil is as beautiful as ever, and her gentle temperament has become more mellow over time.

"Long time no see, Junior Fleming." Artil smiled softly, "I met the scepter mentor not long ago. He praised your talent and you have now built the fifth star ring."

"It's Master Scepter who has given me the award." Fleming said modestly.

The group of people chatted and laughed. Just when the atmosphere was good, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the hall.

Fleming turned around and saw a tall and slender girl with jet-black skin and beautiful and delicate facial features walking in.

Her face was indifferent, and she had an aura that kept strangers away.

Even so, the moment he appeared, he attracted a lot of attention in the hall and suddenly became the center of attention.

The girl seemed to be used to this kind of scene, and she seemed to be oblivious to the sights around her. She looked around, and when she found Adil, the coldness on her face melted away, and a faint smile appeared.

"Tajana is here." Adil came forward with a smile on his face and took the dark elf girl's arm affectionately.

The two women quickly started whispering to each other in low voices.

Fleming was a little surprised when he saw this: "Senior Atil and Tatjana seem to have a good relationship?"

Sherman said with a smile: "When Tatjana first entered the academy, Artil was instructed by the teacher to take good care of Tatjana, so the relationship between the two was not bad."

Fleming was stunned.

No wonder.

As far as he knew, when Tatjana first entered the academy, many people were interested in her identity as a dark elf and deliberately approached them, but Tatjana was not pretentious without exception.

Over time, Tatjana was given a cool reputation, and the number of wild bees and butterflies surrounding her suddenly decreased.

The dark elf girl didn't care, and continued to go her own way, focusing on training and learning, and barely paying attention to others.

If she hadn't come to the banquet tonight, Fleming wouldn't have known that she still had a good friend like Senior Atil.
