The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 84: Demarcation of territory and rule (please order first, please vote monthly)

Makeshift puppet factory.

On the large workbench lies a dissected lycanthrope.

Because the cold air still remained, the blood was frozen and did not flow everywhere.

Sunan put down the tools and released the mage's hand, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Sure enough, just as I guessed, these people's beast blood factors have awakened, and there has been an irreversible atavism. It is indeed lycanthropy."

"And there are traces of physical transformation on the body. It is indeed the work of a wizard's apprentice."

Sunan looked at the dozen or so lycanthropes standing quietly in the corner.

He studied the blood-patterned beast tooth he got from Earl Storm and determined that it was a magic item used to control lycanthropes.

It's similar to the necklace he gave to the Cavalry to control the Black Rock Leopard.

This kind of magic item matched with specific puppets and slaves is not difficult to make, but because it is not difficult, the manufacturer usually adds some 'exclusive' enchanting runes, which act like encryption.

If someone other than the maker wants to crack and use these magic items, the [Magic Item Creation] skill must be at least two or three levels higher than the maker's.

Judging from the craftsmanship of the blood-marked beast teeth, Su Nan estimated that the manufacturer's [Magic Item Manufacturing] level was not high, probably only level 1.

However, his skill level is only level 2 and he still cannot crack it.

He could only reluctantly use the blood-marked beast fangs to suppress the lycanthropes so that they would not be hostile to him.

"It's a pity that such magic items only control specific objects and cannot be used to suppress other lycanthropes."

Sunan shook his head.

This blood-striped beast tooth can only be used to suppress the dozen or so lycanthropes in front of him, and is basically useless to him.

Sighing, Sunan casually dealt with these beast-turned-people, followed by destroying the blood-striped beast fangs.

These lycanthropes can no longer be saved. For them, death is a kind of relief.

"In any case, it is now confirmed that there is indeed a wizard apprentice standing behind Marquis Jinyan. The beast-transformation disaster is most likely related to that wizard apprentice."

Unlike Amy's time, Sunan could be sure that this time he was a genuine wizard apprentice who was still alive.

He was also the first wizard apprentice he met in this world.

The reason why I am sure he is not a wizard is because if he were an official wizard, it would not be so troublesome to deal with him.

"I just don't know if it's a second-level wizard apprentice or a third-level wizard apprentice?"

Sunan looked a little solemn.

Compared to the Marquis of Jinyan, who was self-respecting and powerful, he was more afraid of a wizard apprentice.

After all, unless the former sends four or five legendary knights to surround him at the same time, there is no hope of killing him.

In comparison, the wizard's apprentice posed a much greater threat to him.

In particular, third-level wizard apprentices are already able to skillfully control energy particles, release energy runes without borrowing rune gems, and have mastered second-level spells and metamagic techniques.

Even Sunan, who held many trump cards, could not guarantee that he could deal with a third-level wizard apprentice.

"To deal with the third-level wizard apprentice, even if you have the Frozen Necklace and the Ring of Ultimate Protection, it is not safe. You still have to prepare more trump cards."

Although he might not necessarily meet the wizard apprentice, Sunan felt that it would be safer to prepare early.

It's always a good idea to err on the side of caution.

After thinking for a moment, Sunan quickly came up with a plan.

The first is to create new shimmer-level magic items.

Unlike the Frozen Necklace, it is a magic item that focuses entirely on attack.

The second step is to prepare new trump cards.

"I happened to have an idea before, so I can try it next."

Sunan opened his palms and looked at the rune gem in his hand, his eyes flashing slightly.

On the night of the attack on the camp, the Shining Leader defeated the Storm Army almost effortlessly.

Troop casualties were minimal.

So Key made a prompt decision, leaving part of the army to guard the prisoners, and then led the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment and the rest of the army to Qilin City overnight.

Sunan also brought the golem army with him.

Earl Winterfrost never expected that Earl Storm would be defeated so quickly. When he received the news of the defeat of Storm Army, Key had already led his army to block his retreat.

In this way, facing the fierce offensive of the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment and the Stone Golem Legion, the Winter Frost army was defeated unexpectedly.

Earl Winterfrost was captured and was hanged the next day together with Earl Storm.

As soon as the battle report came out, the entire Jinyan Province and even the entire Principality of Stars were shocked.

No one expected that with the combined strength of the two major counts, they would not be able to win over a small barony, and would even be defeated in turn. Even the two counts were captured and killed.

This series of twists and turns occurred in less than a month.

The Marquis of Jinyan who was stationed in Mengguang City didn't even have time to react. The Flash Territory wiped out the remaining guards of the Storm Territory and Winter Frost Territory with thunderous force, took the two territories into their pockets, and then attacked other territories non-stop.

Shocked, Marquis Jinyan had to lead his army back and personally led the coalition to resist the Flash Leader's offensive.

A fierce war broke out between the two sides.

After seeing the powerful fighting power of the stone golem, Key did not hesitate to invest all the gold coins collected by the Storm Territory and Winter Frost Territory into the construction of the golem army.

One stone golem walked out of the puppet factory one after another, and then rushed to the battlefield without stopping.

Originally, Sunan wanted to infiltrate again, but with the precedent of Earl of Storm, Marquis of Jinyan had already taken precautions against this, and all people entering and leaving the camp must be strictly interrogated.

Sunan even discovered a magical item that detects magic.

As a last resort, he had to abandon this plan.

Although the infiltration failed, the stone golem still displayed impressive combat power on the frontal battlefield.

With the Golem Legion and the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment, the Flash Leader also has the strength to fight the Golden Rock Alliance on the frontal battlefield.

The war continued until the Frost Moon.

It wasn't until the first snow fell that the two sides reached a tacit agreement to stop fighting.

The land was covered with heavy snow. Marching at this time, even with the shining collar of the clay golem baggage troops, the logistics pressure was very difficult, so they had to call a truce.

At this point, Jinyan Province has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to five months ago.

In addition to the Shining Territory, the other two baronies and viscounties had already been destroyed by the Jinyan Alliance.

In the large Jinyan Province, there are now only two major forces left, namely the Shining Leader and the Jinyan Alliance.

The territory of the Glitter Territory has expanded from the Glitter Territory at the beginning to include the Glitter Territory, Storm Territory and Winter Frost Territory, occupying almost one-half of the Golden Rock Province.

It's like a situation where the Marquis of Jinyan divides the world and governs it.

Such a development really surprised many nobles.

No one expected that the Marquis of Jinyan, who had raised the flag of rebellion so aggressively, would be beaten to a **** head without even leaving his own province, and instead lost nearly half of his territory!

And what caused all of this was just a barony!

The name of the Shining Leader resounded throughout the Starry Principality!

And Sunan's name is gradually spreading in some secret circles.

Astral calendar year 1252, the month of Dongqin (January). It snowed very heavily today, and by the end of the month, the snow showed no signs of thawing.

But this is a good thing for the flash collar, which has more time to recuperate.

The expansion of territory meant an increase in tax revenue and population, and also provided a broader basis for the expansion of armaments.

As soon as the war ended, Key began to integrate the territorial government affairs and carry out a massive recruitment operation in the territory. He planned to take advantage of the winter period to expand military strength and prepare for the war after the spring.

At the same time, a new round of wizard qualification testing also began.

As the territory expands and the population skyrockets, the scale of this testing has also increased a lot.

But following this, it is foreseeable that the number of children who will eventually have wizard qualifications will increase.

Throughout the Winter Qin Moon, the entire Shining Collar was operating at high speed.

Sunan was no exception and devoted himself to various tedious manufacturing tasks.

After integrating the new territories, the Shining Territory suddenly had a large number of knights.

What followed was a sharp increase in demand for demonized weapons.

Sunan had to spare more time to spend on making demonized weapons.

In addition, the size of the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment is also rapidly expanding.

With enough knights, Key decided to turn the Black Rock Cavalry into a complete knight army, and ordered that only knights can join the Black Rock Cavalry in the future.

As for the original trainee knight members in the group, priority will be given to supplying dragon blood fruits in an effort to break through and be promoted to knights as soon as possible.

According to Key, before the snow melts, he wants to create a real army of knights and conquer the Marquis of Jinyan's territory in one fell swoop.

Thanks to this, Sunan has another job of refining the Black Rock Leopard.

Nowadays, the output of the Black Rock Mining Area is no longer enough to supply the growing demand for Black Rock Leopards, and he has to find other suitable steel to replace it.

"I feel like I'm almost turning into a tool."

Sunan sighed slightly, and could only comfort himself that the expansion of his territory would be good for him, as he would have more gold coins to buy materials in the future.

Especially after being promoted to the third level wizard apprentice, there will be more places to spend money.

And this situation is only temporary now. After Sherman and the others grow up and take over the work of making potions and refining black rock leopards, he will be much more relaxed.

Busy as he was, Sunan never relaxed for a moment in terms of cultivation.

By the month of recovery (February), his mental power had grown to 27.45.

At the same time, the last ingredients for the evil potion were finally collected.

Without delay, Sunan started making the evil potion that day.

Level 4 [Pharmacion Making] is enough to make second-level potions.

Even so, Sunan still failed twice, and only succeeded in making the evil potion the third time.

"Success!"

Looking at the finished potion in his hand, Sunan let out a long sigh of relief.

The **** mandala obtained from Stone Bell City was only enough to make three evil potions. If he failed the third time, he would suffer a great loss.

Fortunately, his luck wasn't that bad yet.

"Sure enough, it is the right decision to upgrade the [Potion Making] skill to level 4 before making the evil potion. The difficulty of the second-level potion is not one and a half points higher than that of the first-level potion."

After calming down, Sunan turned his attention back to the potion.

The transparent thin-necked medicine bottle contains violet liquid, which contains dots of shining light points. Under the light of the magic stone lamp, it shines with an intoxicating and beautiful color.

Judging from the appearance alone, it would be hard to guess that such a beautiful bottle of potion would have the words "evil fantasy" in its name.

"It's a pity. If I could make two bottles of evil potion and synthesize it, I might be able to directly break through 30 points of mental power. Now there is only one bottle, which is probably not enough."

Sunan felt slightly regretful, but quickly returned to normal.

After taking the evil potion this time, even if the mental strength cannot break through 30 points, it is not much different.

After meditating for another month or two at most, I will definitely be promoted to the third level wizard apprentice.

Taking out the magic stone and silver from the space ring, Sunan drew an energy-gathering array in the meditation room, and then activated the array to fill the room with a large number of energy particles.

After doing all this, he sat cross-legged on the ground, took a deep breath to calm down his distracting thoughts, gently opened the cork, raised his head and drank the potion in one gulp.

The slightly cool medicinal liquid poured into the abdomen and turned into a cold breath that quickly flowed through the limbs and bones.

Sunan lay back on the ground, relaxing his mind and limbs.

About ten seconds later, his body suddenly tensed up, and then he twitched violently.

Visible to the naked eye, the veins on his exposed hands and feet bulged, twisting and twitching like earthworms, his skin showed an abnormal flush, and large patches of sweat came out, soaking his clothes in the blink of an eye.

If a wizard is present at this time and scans with mental power, you can see dense energy particles pouring in from all around, almost completely surrounding Sunan, looking like a colorful human cocoon.

Every second, countless energy particles penetrated into his body through the pores of his skin.

Sunan gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain that surged through her body.

Vaguely, he seemed to feel a cold breath spreading slowly in the room.

despair!

There seemed to be a faint sound of footsteps in my ears.

Su Nan tried his best to turn his head, and was shocked to find that a group of hideous monsters had appeared in the room at some point.

They looked like humanoid creatures made of rotting flesh. The thick muddy water slid down the surface of their skin, dripping on the ground and making a sizzling sound, corroding tiny holes on the floor.

What is even more heart-stopping is the large mouth densely packed with sharp teeth in the middle of the rotten body, with residual strands of flesh vaguely visible between the teeth.

These monsters roared, squirmed, and slowly approached Sunan with malicious malice.

Sunan lay on the ground, his whole body stiff and unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as these monsters slowly approached, and then bit his flesh and blood with their sharp teeth.

The intense pain continued to hit his nerves like a tide, one after another that seemed to have no end, so that later on, his whole body was numb from the pain and he had no consciousness at all.

In this way, Sunan watched helplessly as he was bitten, slowly turned into pieces of flesh and bones, and entered the mouths of the monsters. In the end, only a head was left, fully witnessing the entire process of being dismembered.

laugh!

After a small sound, everything disappeared.

Monsters, flesh and slime, all disappeared.

The room regained its calm.

Sunan was lying on the ground covered in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

"Damn, these side effects are too much."

Sunan couldn't help but curse.

He finally understood how the word 'evil' in the evil potion came about.

Even if the subconscious mind clearly understands that it is just an illusion, watching the process of being dismembered with your own eyes is still very uncomfortable.

The severe pain during the process is extremely real. People with a slightly weaker will may collapse directly.

"Evil Fantasy, Evil Fantasy, this name is worthy of its name."
