Chapter 116 Overturn this stall and change the owner
Sheman's inspection report was submitted soon.
After reading it, Sunan was quite satisfied.
The training of knights is not a matter of one day or one night.
Although there are dragon blood fruits, most of them are used to supply the students of the Flash Territory Army and base. Only a part of them can be supplied to the Dragon Heart Knight Academy. It is impossible to make hundreds of people become knights in just four years.
Sunan has prepared for a protracted war.
After all, it takes a long time to establish a complete training system.
Putting aside the Dragon Heart Knight Academy for the time being, Sunan turned around and continued to devote himself to training and research.
But at this moment, Key suddenly found him.
"Something is wrong." Key put a piece of information in front of Sunan.
He picked it up and looked at it, and his brows raised slightly.
The intelligence mentioned that in the past three months, a total of more than ten nobles in the Principality of Stars died of illness or accident.
And their common feature is that they were very resistant to accepting the beliefs of the Spark Church during their lifetime.
In addition to them, their direct bloodline also died for various reasons.
So when they died, either the title was immediately inherited by the only remaining heir without any hindrance, or because all the heirs died, the territory and title were directly taken back by the nobles of higher rank.
Although similar things have happened before, after all, the noble circle is notoriously chaotic, but more than a dozen of them happened in just half a year, which is terrifying.
There is no doubt that it was the Spark Cult behind the scenes!
They still used the same tricks as Marquis Jinyan, but they were more intensified and blatant.
"The Spark Cult is too lazy to even cover it up, aren't they afraid of attracting a counterattack from other nobles?" Su Nan's eyes flashed with surprise.
Key shook his head and said, "These newly-appointed nobles, as well as the nobles who annexed the lower territories, have all openly accepted the faith of the Spark Church. With the support of the Grand Duke, perhaps these gave the Spark Church the confidence to dare to take such a ruthless approach."
"Now that I think about it, maybe you are right. The Spark Church really promised the Grand Duke to extend his life, otherwise the Grand Duke would not allow the Spark Church to do such a thing. This is completely digging at the foundation of the Principality!"
The Spark Church is not a group of good men and women!
Sunan has long realized this.
He was not surprised that the Spark Church used violent means to promote the spread of faith.
He was just surprised that the Spark Church was so impatient.
They could have taken a more gentle and covert approach instead of this method that was likely to attract hostile counterattacks from a large number of nobles.
After thinking for a while without any results, Sunan shook his head and asked:
"What are you going to do?"
Key gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I will not compromise with the murderer of my father, nor will I sit and wait for death. Since the Grand Duke is determined to help the Spark Church, I might as well overturn this stall and let the Principality change its owner again!"
If it were someone else here, they would probably change their faces when they heard Key's words.
But Sunan's face was calm, as if he had expected Key to say this.
In fact, he knew very well that the power of the Flash Territory had expanded rapidly in recent years.
As far as he knew, the number of Black Rock Cavalry Regiment had already exceeded a thousand, reaching a terrifying 1,300 people!
You have to know that this is a cavalry regiment with all knights, and even the mounts are knight-level puppets!
This legion alone has the strength to flatten any province!
Not to mention the Golem Legion.
Others may still be in the dark, but in fact, the current strength of the Flash Territory has long been ranked the best among the seven provinces of the Star Principality.
Fully capable of overthrowing the principality!
More importantly, it is the existence of Sunan.
This is the biggest confidence that Keyi dares to fight against the Principality of Stars.
Keyi is very confident that as long as Sunan is there, the Flashing Territory will be invincible.
Even if the Principality of Stars cannot be overthrown, it is no problem to be a hegemon in one area!
"What does the Marquis of Baita say?" Sunan asked.
"I have talked to him, and he also supports my idea." Keyi said seriously.
Sunan nodded in understanding.
The Marquis of Baita has already married Keyi, and the two sides are in a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship. It is not surprising to join forces.
Of course, this relationship is not the most important reason.
A mere daughter is far less important than the family interests for a big man at the level of the Marquis of Baita.
The military strength displayed by the Flashing Territory is the most critical factor in persuading the Marquis of Baita.
"In this case, just let it go."
After getting Sunan's promise, Keyi's face suddenly glowed, and the whole person was suddenly refreshed.
"I feel relieved with your words!"
Although he made up his mind, Keyi did not act rashly, but made preparations secretly.
On the other hand, Sunan also started to arrange guards for Keyi.
With the current crazy behavior of the Spark Cult, they might send people to attack Keyi, and he could not always stay by Keyi's side. The best way was to arrange enough guards for Keyi.
With the mineral veins providing continuous profits, Sunan was rich at this time, so he directly synthesized two legendary black rock leopards for Keyi and kept them by his side.
In addition, three steel golems, twenty double-bladed spiders and hundreds of stone golems were arranged in the lord's mansion, and the original guards were used to set up a tight defense network to ensure that there was no leakage.
With such a lineup, even a three-ring legendary knight could not sneak in silently.
In addition, Key's own strength was close to that of a legendary knight, so there was basically no need to worry about any problems.
As for the base, there was even less to worry about.
There were more than twenty steel golems and elite stone golems in it. Even if a third-level wizard apprentice like Heb came, he would have to bear the consequences.
Time entered the Thunder Month (April).
After half a year of development, Youhu City seemed to have gotten used to the days when wizards were the rulers.
Everything was in order.
The lion-faced lions who signed a soul contract with Sunan, including Carolina, were very well behaved and did not make any small moves in private.
The harsh environment of the underground world created the dark jungle law of the survival of the fittest.
Most of the intelligent creatures living here follow the principle that the strong are respected and the fist is the truth, and therefore they generally have a strong-minded mentality.
After seeing the puppet factory produce various golem puppets every day and realizing Sunan's strength, Carolina became more respectful and gradually accepted her identity from the bottom of her heart.
And once a person in the evil camp like her is truly loyal, her work efficiency will be exceptionally high.
The main goal is to do whatever it takes to get the master's orders done.
By the middle of the Thunder Month, Carolina had gathered all the materials needed to refine the magic pattern core.
"Good job."
Looking at the densely packed rare metals on the workbench, Sunan nodded with satisfaction and praised Carolina for a rare sentence.
Carolina showed a happy expression on her face, and suddenly remembered something, saying: "Master, traces of corpse ghosts were found near the No. 3 mine. Those guys should be here to spy on the mine. There are also traces of vampires in the No. 2 mine."
"If they come again, don't be polite, just kill them."
Sunan waved his hand and said.
The combined strength of the two city-states of Matu and Osen is not much stronger than that of Youhu City.
Sunan could have conquered Youhu City before, not to mention the current surge in strength.
If the mines around Youhu City had not been fully developed, he would not be able to spare his hands, and Matu and Osen were too far away, so it was difficult to attack, he would have conquered the two city-states long ago.
Now that they are taking the initiative to disgust people, Sunan will naturally not hold back.
In the underground world where the strong prey on the weak, you must fight back fiercely when facing temptation, otherwise you will only be underestimated by your opponent.
"Yes, Master."
Waving his hand to let Carolina go, Sunan returned his attention to the materials in front of him.
Reaching out and brushing across the workbench, the metal material on it instantly melted into a ball of metal liquid, floating in front of Su Nan.
With the experience of the last time, Su Nan was more familiar with the process this time. It took only a little more than a day to successfully refine the second magic pattern core.
Su Nan then took out the first magic pattern core from his body and put the two magic pattern cores into the magic cube for synthesis.
Soon, a brand new magic pattern core was produced.
"Let's call it the level 2 magic pattern core."
The name on the synthesis interface is still the magic pattern core, but for the convenience of distinction, Su Nan directly added a prefix.
The level 2 magic pattern core does not seem to have changed much.
After looking at it for a while, Su Nan integrated the magic pattern core into his body and then went to the spell training room for testing.
The test object is still the steel golem.
First of all, the attack power.
Under the full force, the metal spike storm formed by the magic pattern core bombarded the steel golem with holes in just ten seconds.
If Sunan hadn't stopped in time, the Iron Golem would have been scrapped.
"Yes, the attack power has at least doubled."
"If it had this power when dealing with the Adamantine Golem, it would have been enough to destroy it in more than half a minute."
The second is defense.
If converted into defense, it is about 3200 to 3500, which is far more than the defense of the Ring of Extreme Protection!
Sunan estimated that opponents below the level of formal wizards would basically not be able to break through such a solid defense in an instant - provided that his mental power is not consumed.
What surprised Sunan was that the increase in mental power consumption of the Magic Pattern Core was negligible.
Although the consumption was not reduced, it was already a great improvement compared to the exponentially enhanced attack and defense.
Otherwise, if the mental power consumption was also doubled, the Magic Pattern Core would almost become a one-time charging magic item like the Ring of Disaster.
In that case, the practicality would inevitably be greatly reduced!
Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen.
After building the twelfth star ring, Sunan's mental power increased a lot. Now in full state, it is enough to use the magic pattern core for three minutes.
Even if the battle is more intense, two minutes is more than enough.
With the power of the magic pattern core, two minutes is enough for Sunan to kill a three-ring legendary knight!
"This way, the trump card becomes stronger again."
Sunan was full of joy.
With the synthetic magic cube, the magic pattern core is equivalent to having unlimited growth.
But the premise is that his physique and spirit must keep up.
When fusing the level 2 magic pattern core, Sunan already felt that his body and mind were under obvious pressure.
Obviously, he can't fuse the third magic pattern core now.
Fortunately, it takes time to collect the materials for refining the third magic pattern core. During this period, we just need to continue to strengthen our physique and spirit until we meet the fusion standard.
Sunan then counted the space ring again.
Now, in addition to the magic pattern core, his trump cards also include magic items and high-level rune gems.
As for magic items, after he had more money, Sunan recently made six more disaster rings and put them in the space ring, and all of them were extremely strengthened, making a total of ten with the previous disaster rings.
In this way, when the four rings on his left hand are used up in the future battle, he can immediately take out the replacements in the space ring.
The main point is to use money to kill the opponent!
The same is true for the extreme protection ring. Ten rings are collected and kept for wartime replacement in case of emergency.
As for high-level rune gems, as Sunan's mental power grows, the number of synthetic ones has increased to 26, and the power has increased again.
He now has a full 20 high-level rune gems in his space ring.
If all are used, it is enough to pile up a three-ring legendary knight.
In addition, there are 20 elite stone golems and a double-bladed spider that has been synthesized and strengthened to the level of a legendary knight in the magic cube at any time.
This can barely be regarded as one of the trump cards.
In general, Sunan's current strength can only be ranked in the middle among the third-level wizard apprentices, and the only outstanding thing is a silent spell.
But with many trump cards, it is enough to be ranked in the upper reaches.
Even against the top group of third-level wizard apprentices, there is still a fighting force.
"It's a pity that the number of puppets required to synthesize the second-ring legendary level is too large, otherwise it would be a real trump card if one was synthesized."
Sunan has specially tested that the number of stone golems required to synthesize the second-ring legendary stone golem is as many as 456!
It is almost ten times that of the elite stone golems synthesized into the first-ring legendary!
Obviously, after reaching the legendary level, the number of synthesis required will increase exponentially with each level up.
In the end, the cost of a second-ring legendary stone golem is close to 20,000 gold coins!
Even if the entire Flash Territory's tax revenue for a whole year is used, only a few can be synthesized.
However, at the level of the second ring legend, the value is no longer measurable by money.
If Key or any other marquis were asked to choose between 20,000 gold coins and a hardworking second ring legend, there is no doubt that everyone would choose the latter.
In fact, if he really made up his mind to synthesize, Sunan could also synthesize it.
However, one reason is that there are too many places that need stone golems now, and so many stone golems cannot be drawn out at once.
Another reason is that he prefers to synthesize flexible double-bladed spiders rather than clumsy and heavy stone golems.
The number of double-bladed spiders at the peak knight level required to synthesize the second ring legend is relatively small, only 118.
However, Sunan still needs to save for a while.
"Take your time."
"Now the several mines are far from being exhausted, so don't worry about the money. As long as there is enough time, you can synthesize a second ring legend level puppet sooner or later."
