The Synthesis Wizard

Sunan soon met the unfortunate sorcerer.

After he was escorted back by the marionettes, he was imprisoned in the prison room at Base No. 2 of Youhu City, guarded by five marionettes.

This man was able to keep his composure. After entering the prison cell, he sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated without panicking at all.

It wasn't until Sunan and Lize walked in that he opened his eyes and looked at Sunan.

When he was talking to Liz earlier, he already knew that the real controller of the Covenant would come to see him, and it was obviously the person in front of him.

"First meeting, my lord, my name is Tanner Albert, and I am a planeswalker."

Tanner stood up and saluted, showing respect.

Judging from the power that the Covenant has shown before, its leader is at least a second-level wizard.

When facing a wizard with a higher level than yourself, it is a wise choice to show enough respect.

Not to mention that his life and death are still in the hands of the other party.

"I'm sorry to intrude on your territory, but sir, please believe that I didn't mean it."

Su Nan smiled slightly: "I already know what happened. I believe you didn't mean it."

If Tanner really wanted to invade Starlight Continent with malicious intentions, there was no way he was the only one.

What's more, the other party didn't make a killing blow in the two battles, so it was obvious that they had no ill intentions towards the Star Alliance.

"Thank you for your understanding. I will leave Starlight Continent now and will never cause you any trouble!"

After hearing what Su Nan said, Tanner breathed a sigh of relief, but the words Su Nan said the next moment made his expression change.

"Unfortunately, you may not be able to leave Starlight Continent for the time being."

"Why?" Tanner's expression changed, assuming that Sunan still had doubts about him.

Seeing this, Sunan didn't waste any time, lifted the magic circle in the prison room, and said calmly: "You can try to leave now."

Tanner was filled with surprise and uncertainty. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a scroll, then tore it open and activated it.

Traveling wizards generally have a variety of means to travel through planes.

The simpler one is the plane jump scroll, and the more complicated one is the plane teleportation array.

What Tanner brought out was the former.

But what shocked him was that the scroll was obviously activated, but he was unable to make the jump, as if the entire plane was blocked and unable to enter or exit.

"really."

Looking at this scene, Sunan secretly thought that his guess was indeed correct.

Tanner's arrival was completely a low-probability event by chance, just like encountering void turbulence when traveling through planes, and being teleported to an unknown plane.

The plane blockade of Starlight Continent has not been completely lifted yet.

Tanner wants to repeat the accidental events from before, unless he is really lucky.

"What's going on?" Tanner looked at Sunan and the two in shock.

He could sense that Sunan did not secretly use spells or magic circles such as 'Dimensional Anchors' to limit plane jumps. Judging from the feedback from the scroll, it seemed that the plane itself was trying its best to resist any existence. In and out.

Lize glanced at Sunan and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so she took the initiative to explain the current situation of Starlight Continent.

When he heard that the Starlight Continent was under a dimensional blockade, and it would take nearly three hundred years to complete the repairs and lift the blockade, Tanner felt bad.

If you put it this way, wouldn't he have to stay in Starlight Continent for two to three hundred years before leaving?

You must know that the lifespan of a first-level wizard is only about a thousand years. Even if various methods are used, it will be difficult to exceed two thousand years.

Having to stay in the same plane for one-tenth or even one-fifth of his life is undoubtedly a huge torture for a sorcerer.

For a moment, Tanner felt like he wanted to cry without tears.

I am so unlucky. I was so desperate that I accidentally teleported to a blocked plane!

Sunan and Lize also looked at Tanner with some pity.

The chance of this kind of thing happening is probably not even one in a million, but Tanner happened to hit him. It can only be said that this guy is really unlucky.

After sighing for a while, Tanner hesitated and said: "Sir, can I trouble you with something?"

Su Nan shook his head and said: "If you want me to help you leave Starlight Continent, then I'm sorry that I can't do anything."

Tanner hesitated to speak, and finally sighed and said no more.

He actually knew very well that with the plane blocked, leaving the Starlight Continent was simply a luxury.

Returning to the original plane through the Shadow Realm is even more wishful thinking.

The outer interface has one thing in common, which is where you go back and forth.

Whichever plane you enter the outer interface from, you can only return to the original plane. This is determined by the characteristics of the plane.

Therefore, traveling from the Shadow Realm to the Starlight Continent was a low-probability event. He himself was confused and didn't know the reason at all.

To take a step back, even if he could enter the Shadow Realm now, he would not be able to return to the original plane.

The only way is to wait for the plane blockade to end.

"You can stay in Starlight Continent and wander around. If you need any help, you can ask Liz."

After comforting Tanner, Sunan turned and left.

Back in the study, Liz asked, "Are you really just going to let him go?"

"Otherwise? He has not offended the Star Alliance, why should we imprison him?"

Sunan spread his hands.

"Besides, with Star Eye's monitoring network here, his whereabouts are not a secret in our eyes. We just need to keep a close eye on him. As long as he doesn't use his brain, what does it matter if he stays here?"

Li Ze thought about it. With the current size of the Star Alliance, there really is no need to pay too much attention to a mere first-level liquefaction wizard.

But then, she sighed again.

"I originally thought that I might have a chance to buy Shuangyou Stone in advance, but now it seems that it is impossible."

Su Nan smiled and said: "Don't be so anxious. When the plane blockade is lifted, whether it is entering the Shadow Realm or trading with other wizarding forces, isn't it easy to get the Frost Stone?"

"That's true." Lize's lips curled up slightly.

As soon as she relaxed, she returned to her usual capable state and said in deep thought:

"Most traveling wizards have a lot of weird knowledge and plane information, and they may have some rare things in their hands. It's rare to encounter a traveling wizard, but we can't just miss it. We can try to make a deal with Tanner , in exchange for the information and resources in his hands.”

"It's up to you to decide." Sunan looked at Lize with a smile.

Maybe Lize hasn't noticed it yet, but now she has unconsciously considered things from the perspective of the Covenant Alliance.

This is undoubtedly a sign of treating oneself as a member of the Star Alliance from the bottom of one's heart.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Sunan staring at her with a smile, Lize had a puzzled expression on her face. "Nothing." Su Nan changed the subject, "How far has the popularity of sub-magic energy technology developed?"

At the mention of this, Lize perked up and said with a smile:

"It went very well."

"The large-scale secondary magic stone veins we have opened up in various parts of the mainland have all taken shape, and they have all been put into mining. The output of secondary magic stones has increased by more than fifty times, and the supply has already far exceeded those using magic machines and teleportation arrays in various places. consumption.”

"Now that mana technology has been popularized across the continent, the prospects are excellent, and the Star Alliance's income has doubled now."

Sunan nodded with satisfaction, thought for a while and then said: "Since supply exceeds demand, we can change the mining intensity of the veins to ensure production."

"I also have this idea." Liz agreed.

In fact, it is echelon mining.

Divide the mineral veins into several parts and implement different mining intensities respectively. When the mineral veins with the highest mining intensity are exhausted, the mining intensity of the remaining mineral veins will be increased in turn. At the same time, the exhausted mineral veins will be cultivated again. When all the mineral veins are exhausted, most of the mineral veins will be exhausted. , the new mineral veins have also been cultivated and put into mining again, forming a rotation.

In this way, it can be ensured that there are veins that can be mined in every time period, and the output of secondary magic stones can be maintained at a relatively fixed level without cliff-like interruptions, thus affecting the development of secondary magic technology.

After discussing the secondary magic stone veins, Liz suddenly mentioned another matter.

"Recently, a Devilsaur in District 2 has shown a trend of evolution."

Su Nan's eyes lit up and asked, "Where's that Demon Tyrannosaurus?"

"It should be in the laboratory now. Kore is performing blood fusion surgery on it."

Sunan nodded slightly: "Ke Lei is good at biological modification, so it is appropriate to leave the surgery to him."

It has been more than four hundred years since the Yalong bloodline improvement plan was implemented. Real results are finally coming, and Su Nan is naturally very happy.

And the appearance of this devil dragon also means that the plan has reached a turning point.

In the coming time, more and more Devilsaurs will definitely evolve into giant dragons.

Soon a real dragon tribe will appear in the Dragon Forest!

Lize said: "The evolution of the Devil Rex is already a certainty. The next thing we have to consider is how to tame it."

"It sounds like you already have an idea?" Su Nan smiled.

"I do know how to control strange beasts, but I'm afraid it won't be very effective against giant dragons."

Su Nan said without comment: "You tell me first."

"The most effective one is the spiritual sigil." Lize said, "As long as you put the spiritual sigil into the heads of alien beasts, you can subtly transform their minds and make them obey their master. Although the transformation process is relatively long, the benefits are It won’t trigger violent resistance.”

"However, the spiritual sigil can only be used to control four-ring legendary creatures at most. The dragon's spiritual power is too powerful, so the spiritual sigil may not be of much use."

Su Nan muttered: "You can copy the manufacturing process in this area to me first, and I will study it later to see if I can improve it."

It's called improvement, but it's actually synthesis.

As long as he can synthesize it, he can strengthen the spiritual sigil with a powerful enough effect.

Lize copied the relevant knowledge without saying a word and handed it to Sunan.

After what happened before, she has gradually developed a blind trust in Sunan.

Although Su Nan had no guarantee, she somehow felt that Su Nan would definitely be able to successfully improve the spiritual talisman.

Back in the laboratory, Su Nan took out the knowledge copied by Lize and started reading it.

After reading all the information, he already felt confident.

There are many similarities between spiritual sigils and rune engravings, which can be regarded as rune engravings with hypnotic properties.

It's just that unlike rune engravings that use skin as a carrier, the carrier of spiritual sigils is soul crystals.

Depending on the power level of the controlled object, the level requirements for the soul crystal used as a carrier are also different.

For example, four-ring legendary beasts require large soul crystals as carriers.

To be honest, the value of a large soul crystal is no less than a four-ring legendary puppet.

Coupled with various other materials, refining a spiritual sigil to control a four-ring legendary beast is actually not as good as directly refining a four-ring legendary puppet.

The spiritual sigils of other levels are also similar.

"No wonder I haven't heard of spiritual talismans before. This technology is indeed a bit useless. It is probably very unpopular and of no use."

The cost is there, the most suitable use of spiritual talismans is to control some strange beasts with special purposes or high growth potential.

The former does not need to worry too much about the cost, while the latter is because after entering the spiritual sigil, the controlled creature can no longer get rid of the spiritual sigil even if its strength increases.

If it is an alien beast with relatively high growth potential, you can put a low-level spiritual sigil into it when it is still very weak, and then wait for it to grow and increase in strength, and finally achieve the goal of controlling a powerful alien beast.

However, the latter also involves the issue of cultivation costs.

The key is the cost of cultivating the spiritual talisman and the cost of directly refining the puppet, which is higher?

But for Sunan, this is a problem that does not need to be considered at all.

The benefits of controlling the dragon are definitely far greater than the cost of cultivating the spiritual talisman.

After all, the growth potential of dragons is second to none in the entire multiverse.

"Since it has an entity, it can definitely be synthesized."

After confirming that the spiritual sigil could be synthesized, Sunan immediately started refining it.

For a level 2 wizard with the [Magic Item Creation] skill reaching level 5, refining spiritual sigils is simply a piece of cake.

Without much effort, Sunan refined more than a dozen spiritual sigils, and then began to synthesize them non-stop.

After investing twelve spiritual talismans, Sunan also got what he wanted.

[Spiritual sigils, after being injected into a living being, can be integrated into its soul, subtly transforming its thoughts, and gradually increasing its loyalty to a specific target. It is invalid for creatures whose soul strength reaches the level of a liquefied wizard. It is not effective for humans and humanoid creatures. Bipedal or incorporeal creatures or nearly humanoids are invalid. 】

"good."

Sunan showed a satisfied smile.

The soul strength of the newly evolved dragon is estimated to be equivalent to the level of a first-level gasification wizard. This spiritual sigil is enough for use.

After final calculation, the cost was about 520,000 gold coins, which was slightly more expensive than marionette.

But considering the dragon's growth, it's still acceptable.

"Now we have a way to control the dragon!"

When Su Nan placed the improved spiritual talisman in front of Lize, the latter had an expression of 'Ah, I knew it' on her face, which made Su Nan dumbfounded.

"What do you plan to do with the dragons you will train in the future?"

Sunan thought for a while and said, "Let's form a separate legion."

He actually thought about forming an order of dragon knights, but knights with wizard-level power were extremely rare, at least in Starlight Continent now, and it was difficult to cultivate them in batches, so he had to give up.

After much thought, I could only form a separate dragon army. (End of chapter)
