The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 86 Intruder

The base was quiet.

Adil walked lightly on the cobblestone path, the corners of his lips raised uncontrollably.

Just now, she finally successfully performed the repair technique.

This is also the second zero-level spell she has mastered.

"After completing the next task of taking care of the magic plants, the contribution points in my hand will be enough to exchange for another zero-ring spell model book."

"What should I learn about the third spell?"

Adil was thinking as he walked towards the Demonic Planting Garden.

Before she even reached the door, she heard cheerful and relaxed singing coming from inside, sometimes accompanied by laughter as sweet as silver bells.

Adil was involuntarily infected by the joy of laughter, and his face was filled with a smile.

When you walk into the Magic Plant Garden, you will see a group of little people sitting on the flowers singing happily.

Each of them is less than ten centimeters tall, wearing clothes made of leaves, with petal-like wings. Their skin color is similar to the color of various flowers, ranging from gray to bright red or yellow. There is no hair on their heads. , replaced by various petals.

Looks like a fairy from a fairy tale.

In fact, these little people are also ultra-small fey.

They are flower essences.

It is a strange creature summoned from another world by Mr. Sunan.

He is very good at taking care of plants and can promote the growth of magic plants.

The only bad thing is that they are a little naughty. She, Sherman and Corey were often teased by these little guys when they were working in the magic plant garden.

But Adil still likes these little guys.

After all, they are really cute.

Upon seeing Atil, the flower spirits immediately flew over with joyful shouts.

Adil smiled and played with the flower spirits for a while, then said goodbye to them and walked inside.

On the way, she met another humanoid creature that looked like a female elf, but had skin like tree bark and hair like leaves.

"Good morning, Ms. Madeleine."

Adil quickly stopped and said hello.

The person in front of me was also summoned from another world by Mr. Sunan. It is said that he is the son of the forest and is responsible for guarding the magic plant garden.

Madeleine nodded slightly to Adil and continued patrolling.

Adil didn't care either, she knew that Ms. Madeleine was somewhat taciturn.

In the past two years at the base, Atil has become accustomed to discovering new alien creatures in the base every once in a while.

Arriving at the Silver Moon Flower planting area, Atil saw Sherman watering the flowers at a glance.

"Sherman." The girl called.

Sherman turned around and saw that it was Adil, with a smile on his face, he quickly put down the kettle and ran over.

"Attil, why are you here?"

Adil rolled his eyes at him helplessly and said, "Are you too busy and dizzy? Have you forgotten what the teacher told us?"

Sherman slapped his forehead, quickly recalled it, and smiled awkwardly.

"I remember, it was today, right?"

The vast wizard qualification test ended five days ago.

Unlike them back then, the base is now complete, and newcomers who pass the test can move into the base directly without having to study in the lord's mansion.

It's just that the teacher was busy and couldn't spare time, so he ordered the three of them to familiarize the newcomers with the base and explain the precautions.

Sherman has been busy doing tasks these days and almost didn't think about it for a while.

"Where's Kore?"

"He has already passed the base gate."

"Then let's leave quickly."

The two walked out of the Magic Plant Garden side by side, chatting about the test on the way.

"I wonder how many people will pass the test this time?"

"Definitely more than our time."

"That's true."

Compared with two years ago, the territory of the Shining Territory has expanded four to five times, and the population has also increased significantly.

With a large population base, the number of qualified children of school age will naturally increase.

And since it was the first time to test, there must have been an exceptionally large number of people participating.

This year the base may be able to have more than ten apprentices.

Thinking that he would soon become a senior, Sherman's mood became inexplicably high.

The current base was too deserted. He wished it would be more lively with more people, so that more people could exchange ideas and learn from each other in the future.

He is not worried that more apprentices will dilute resources.

According to Ms. Gurley, the resources in the warehouse are more than enough to support dozens of apprentices.

"I heard that you started making potions recently? How do you feel?" Atil suddenly asked.

Sherman scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "It feels so difficult. Ten brute force potions have failed. All the materials I have saved up this month have been wasted."

In order to reduce the difficulty, Sherman deliberately chose the brute force potion, which is relatively suitable for novices, instead of the more difficult ones such as the secondary active potion or the secondary dragon's blood potion. However, the results of the first attempt were still very bad.

"It doesn't matter, the teacher said that it will be difficult at the beginning, but it will get much better once you get started." Atil comforted.

Xie Man nodded, but sighed secretly in his heart.

It's not that easy.

Unlike Kore and Atil, he has a wealthy family. Even if he doesn't contribute points, he can still use money from his family to buy materials.

All the gold coins he had were given to Old Roger, and the materials he used on daily basis were all exchanged for contribution points.

This time he failed to make the potion, and the wasted materials made him bleed with pain.

"Speaking of which, what has Corey been doing lately?" Sherman asked.

It had been a while since he'd seen Kore.

Although the three of them all live in the base, they don't actually have much time to see each other because they are busy meditating and studying.

Atil said: "Kore has been learning to refine the Black Rock Leopard recently, but the progress doesn't seem to be going well."

"It's really difficult to refine a puppet." Xie Man nodded with deep sympathy.

He also tried to refine the Black Rock Leopard, but unfortunately failed without exception.

He's not as talented at puppets as he is at potion making.

Thinking of refining the puppet, Xie Man also felt a little emotional.

The Black Rock Leopard is a knight-level puppet.

Two years ago, the knight was a high-ranking figure to him. He never imagined that one day he would make a puppet comparable to the knight.

The changes that have happened to me in the past two years are really huge.

And all this is given by the teacher.

Thinking of his teacher, Xie Man couldn't help but be secretly grateful.

During the conversation, the two of them had arrived at the gate of the base, and they saw Kore waiting there from a distance.

Compared to two years ago, the fifteen-year-old Kore has grown a lot taller. He has a tall figure and a handsome appearance. He is the type of aristocratic boy that girls like very much.

As if he sensed the arrival of someone, Corey turned his head and looked over. His eyes lit up slightly when he glanced at Atil, and then quickly returned to his expressionless state after seeing Sherman.

Sherman couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly.

This guy Kore really regards him as a competitor.

Since he fell behind him in the introduction to the Star Ring Meditation Method and the construction of the first Star Ring, Kore's self-esteem seemed to have been stimulated, and he practiced harder and harder, pretending that he must surpass him. Although Sherman didn't like competing with others, he had to say that Corey's actions put a lot of pressure on him, which made him work harder and made rapid progress in meditation and study.

Not long ago, the teacher praised him and Kore.

Maybe this is the benefit of having a competitor.

The three of them stood at the gate and had just chatted a few words when a group of figures appeared in the distance. .

Twelve boys and girls rode Black Rock Leopards and were escorted by a team of Black Rock Cavalry towards the base.

The leader was Lord Braid.

"I heard that Lord Brad has been promoted to a Grand Knight. He is the second Grand Knight in the Shining Territory after the Lord." Atil said in a low voice.

"With the Dragon Blood Fruit, there will only be more and more great knights in the territory in the future."

Sherman responded in a low voice, but his eyes were looking at the twelve boys and girls.

Judging from their clothing, these people include children from aristocratic families as well as those from middle-class families.

But there is no such thing as a child from a poor or peasant family like him.

After all, literacy is a huge limitation, blocking the channels for poor farmers to become wizard apprentices.

Sherman actually had the idea of ​​changing this, but universal education involves all aspects, and even if the lord wanted to change, it would be difficult for him to do so, let alone him.

"Good morning, Your Excellencies."

Coming closer, Brad jumped off the Black Rock Leopard and saluted the three Shermans.

Although he was old enough to be the father of three people, and he was a high knight and a lord, he still maintained enough respect for Sunan's three students.

"Lord Braid, long time no see."

Xie Man and the others quickly returned the gift.

"After delivering the person, my mission is completed, and the next three people will have to work hard."

Brad left the people behind, and then left with the soldiers in a hurry.

After watching Brad go away, the three Shermans then looked at the twelve newcomers.

"Hello, senior."

The twelve newcomers hurriedly saluted and said hello, with visible nervousness and restraint in their demeanor.

After two years of meditation and study, Sherman, Corey and Atil all have a mysterious and profound temperament in them. In the eyes of ordinary people, they seem to have an inexplicable feeling of being unfathomable.

Even Sherman, who was born into a poor family, has now been transformed, and his every move is capable and decisive.

Anyone who saw him for the first time would never imagine that he was a cowardly child with low self-esteem two years ago.

Standing in front of these three people, even the young girl with noble background felt an inexplicable pressure.

"Don't be nervous, we are classmates from today on." Adil said softly.

The friendly and gentle smiles made the newlyweds feel slightly relaxed.

"Let's go, it's getting late." Kore said calmly, "Hurry up and finish the matter. I'm rushing back to refine the puppet."

The somewhat impatient tone made the relaxed atmosphere become tense again.

Adil glared at Kore slightly and led the newcomers into the base.

"The base is very large and divided into many areas, but they are all easy to identify."

"Most areas can be entered and exited freely, but apprentices are prohibited from entering places such as the prison area and the energy center room. Magic alarms have also been set up, so you must be careful not to touch them."

"Ah, those are clay golems, responsible for doing some chores. In addition, there are stone golems, mainly responsible for guarding and patrolling the base."

"In addition to us apprentices, there are also Ms. Geli in the base who is responsible for guarding the warehouse, Ms. Madeleine who is responsible for guarding the magic plant garden, and the flower elves who cultivate magic plants. They are all helpers summoned from other worlds by the teacher. "

Along the way, Atil enthusiastically introduced the base to the newcomers and explained some precautions.

Sherman chimed in from time to time to add a word or two.

Korey looked calm and said nothing during the whole process.

Fortunately, the newcomers didn't care. Everyone looked at the scenery along the way with bright eyes, feeling that everything was extremely novel.

Looking at the appearance of the newcomer, Sherman couldn't help but feel deeply, as if he saw himself two years ago.

At that time, his performance when he visited the base for the first time was probably similar to that of the newcomers here.

"There are also Hidden Dragon and Lady Amy."

"The Hidden Dragon is the teacher's pet, a powerful dragon lizard that can become invisible."

"Ms. Amy is a friend of the teacher. Her origin is very mysterious. However, it is not in the base today, otherwise it would probably come to see you."

After visiting most of the area, Atil led people to the warehouse.

Geli was sitting in front of the warehouse door, playing the violin. The melodious sound of the violin made people feel peaceful.

Atil signaled the newcomers to stop and waited patiently for Geli to finish playing a song and put down the violin before he stepped forward and said, "Ms. Geli, I'm bringing the newcomers here."

“There are quite a lot of newcomers this year.”

Geli looked at the newlyweds with a smile and pointed at the books placed on the table nearby.

"This is what Mr. Sunan asked me to give to the newcomers, including the Star Ring Meditation Method and some basic books. You can take it."

Adil thanked him and took the things and distributed them to the newcomers.

"By the way, there is a guy in the prison area who is not easy to get along with recently. Your Excellency Su Nan asked me to tell you, try to stay away from the prison area as much as possible in the future." Geli reminded again.

A difficult guy to get along with?

Sherman, Atil, and Corey looked at each other.

Obviously, this guy who is difficult to get along with in Geli's mouth is another helper summoned by the teacher from another world.

It's just that she doesn't know what the other person's situation is like, which makes Geli, who has a kind personality, make comments that are difficult to get along with.

Out of curiosity, the three of them always obeyed the teacher's advice and quickly agreed upon hearing the words.

After leaving the warehouse, the group headed to the living area to let the newcomers choose their rooms.

Woohoo!

At this moment, a piercing siren suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

The expressions of Sherman, Atil and Corey all changed.

"Someone triggered the magic alarm!"

"It's coming from the direction of the gate, go over and take a look!"

"Stay here and don't move around."

After giving instructions to the newcomers, Sherman and the other three hurried towards the base gate.

A long distance away, they saw a group of stone golems surrounding the gate of the base.

As they got closer, they discovered that the stone golems had surrounded the intruders.

Unexpectedly, there was only one person on the other side.

The man was wrapped in a tight robe, revealing only a pale-skinned male face with stiff features. He looked about thirty years old, and exuded a gloomy aura.

Looking at that face, Sherman and the others got goosebumps for some unknown reason, and they always felt chills on their backs.

The man glanced at the three Shermans.

"Three young first-level wizard apprentices."

"Interesting, there are not many people who can accept students these days."

The man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like frost.

But what surprised Sherman and the others even more was that the sound came from under the man's robe, and his mouth had not moved from beginning to end.

A breeze blew by.

Xie Man and the other three felt something. They turned around and saw that Sunan had arrived beside them at some point.

"teacher!"

The three young apprentices saluted quickly.

Sunan waved his hand and said, "You go back and leave it to me."
