Chapter 138 The hope of becoming a wizard

Three days later.

Sunan led the golem army to settle in Matu and officially took over the city-state.

It must be said that vampires are a very powerful race.

They have long lifespans, cunning methods, and powerful combat capabilities. Whether they are fighting on the frontal battlefield or serving as scouts and assassins, they are all good hands.

The only weakness is its fear of sunlight and low reproduction.

Fortunately, in the underground world, the former can be simply ignored.

On the contrary, the problem of low reproduction limited the expansion of Matu's power.

In the city-state of Nuoda, the total number of vampires is less than two hundred, but there are tens of thousands of subordinate races and slaves.

That is to say, individual vampires have superb combat power, and knights and high knights abound, otherwise they would not be able to suppress so many vassals and slaves.

Thousands of stalactites hang down from the ceiling of the cave, with blue, green and dark purple demonic fires burning and churning among them, like a sea of ​​clouds, providing weak illumination to the entire Matu.

Sunan stood on a stone pillar two to three hundred meters high and overlooked the ground. He watched the demon statues enter the city one after another. The slaves were busy carrying various supplies, coming and going like ants. In a trance, he had the illusion of looking down on all living beings.

Now that the Kasham insect swarm has been cleaned up, Matu's vampires surrendered, Orson's ghoul clan was completely wiped out by the Red Widow, and Youhu City fell into his hands early.

It can be said that the area within a hundred miles is already his territory.

Over time, after digesting the fruits of the war and truly bringing all the city-states under control, he would truly gain a firm foothold in the underground world and have an inheritance of his own.

"Oson's ghouls were completely wiped out, leaving only a group of vassal races and slaves. We still need to send a group of people to handle affairs."

"Let's send a group of human-faced lions and vampires from Youhu City and Matu respectively."

After subduing the vampires of Matu and the human-faced lion, Sunan's manpower was finally not so stretched.

But what followed was a shortage of troops.

Kasham can be ignored, but Youhu, Matu and Osun all need troops to garrison.

Although many golems were lost in this war, the remaining ones were more than enough to guard the lake.

It is also enough to allocate some of them to settle in Matu and guard Matu together with the vampires.

Only Orson's military strength is now empty and needs a large number of golems to fill it.

Moreover, there are six mineral veins under the control of Orson and Matu. These mineral veins require the dispatch of golems to be developed, as well as to guard and escort the ore.

All these require troops.

Including the clay golem, there are almost a thousand golem gaps.

"Leave the refining of the golem to the base."

Now that more and more apprentices in the base have mastered puppet refining, Sunan no longer needs to work hard to refine the stone golem.

If necessary, he can obtain a large number of stone golems in a short period of time by increasing task rewards.

It was also for this reason that during this war, the Golem Army was able to double in size in just over a month.

Of course, he still needs to make the steel golem and double-edged spider himself.

"Next, focus on studying bloodline marks and divine energy."

Sunan looked in the direction of Youhu City.

He imprisoned the Death Knell Striker in Base No. 2, and sent three high-level stone golems and three elite double-edged puppets to guard him. The Hidden Dragon was also there to ensure that he would not escape.

For a long time to come, his focus will be on this insect with ancient bloodline.

Late at night, dark clouds cover the silver moon, and the night sky is dim and dull.

Savullo was walking on a remote forest trail, surrounded by darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, he stopped and stretched out his palm. A ball of light slowly emerged in his palm. The soft light extended in all directions, dragging the surrounding dense cedar trunks into long shadows in the forest, but the light could not shine. Wherever I arrived, the darkness seemed to become deeper and deeper.

"Come out." Savullo said solemnly.

Two figures stepped out of the darkness and into the light.

The figure on the left is too bloated to be human-shaped. Something seems to be stuffed under the gray robe, which is stretching the robe almost to the point of splitting. There is a strange sound coming from inside, as if some creature is chewing something.

The figure on the right is only as tall as an adult human waist and looks like a dwarf. The hem of his long black robe drags on the ground, completely hiding his figure. His face is also hidden in the brim of the hat, and only darkness can be seen.

"You came to us so urgently, what happened?"

The short man in black robes on the right spoke slowly, his voice as sharp as a child's voice changing period.

"Ugo is dead," Savullo said.

The two figures, one tall and one short, were silent for a long time, and then the man in black robe asked:

"Who did it?"

"Sunan."

"Who is Sunan?" The fat man in gray robe said in a muffled voice.

The man in black robe sneered: "How long have you locked yourself in the laboratory for how long, and even Sunan doesn't know?"

The man in gray robe glanced at the man in black robe and said nothing.

It was Savullo who explained: "Su Nan is a newly promoted third-level wizard apprentice in the Principality of Stars, but he is very powerful and is now a member of the Jungle Lodge."

"Why did Ugo get involved with Sunan?" the man in black robe asked.

"He wanted to snatch the divine bones of the Spark Cult from Sunan, so he attacked Sunan's territory in the underground world. However, his skills were inferior to others, and he died at the hands of Sunan."

"The bell striker?"

"It should have fallen into Sunan's hands."

The black-robed man said disdainfully: "That guy who hides in the underground world and plays with insects all day is dead, but it's a pity for the bell striker. The descendants of the ancient bloodline are rare. If it were given to me, it would definitely be more useful."

"I want to eat too!" the gray-robed man said in a muffled voice.

"Eat, eat, eat, you only know how to eat all day! So noisy! If you say this again, I will kill you!"

The black-robed man suddenly became irritable, and his voice rose several tones, full of violence and cruelty.

Sauro frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Calm down!"

The black-robed man paused, took a deep breath, and regained his composure after a moment, and said coldly sorry.

"The bloodline has seriously affected your emotions and reason." Sauro said in a deep voice, "Find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for kicking you out of the Eternal Life Society!"

The Eternal Life Society is crazy in the eyes of other wizard apprentices, but they don't think so.

Everything they did was out of their own will, to increase their power, and was a rational judgment, which was different from the wizard apprentice who lost his mind and fell into madness.

The most important thing for a wizard is reason.

Even the Eternal Life Society would despise a wizard apprentice who lost his mind.

The black-robed man was silent for a while, nodded and said: "I know, I have a clue, and it won't take long to solve this problem."

"That's good." Sauro nodded slightly.

"Back to the topic, you asked us to come here just for Ugo? You don't want to help him get revenge, do you?"

Sauro shook his head: "I'm not that noble yet. This time I asked you to come here for the Tower of Stars."

The Tower of Stars!

As soon as these four words came out, the black-robed man and the gray-robed man were moved.

The black-robed man immediately asked, "Have you found the Tower of Stars?"

"No." Sauro said slowly, "But I already have clues about the Tower of Stars."

"The Tower of Stars appears every twenty years, and the next time it opens is twelve years later, but the location is random, and you need a key to find the specific location. You also need a key to enter the Tower of Stars."

The black-robed man asked suspiciously, "How did you know?"

Sauro said calmly, "I saw information about the Tower of Stars in a book, and I guessed that the Tower of Stars had a great relationship with the Kessler family who notified the Principality of Stars, so I found Evans and asked him."

"Evans? The three-ring legendary knight of the Kessler family?"

"That's right."

"Such important information, will he tell you honestly?"

"I used some tricks."

The black-robed man laughed and immediately understood.

It is said that Evans made a deal with Sunan, and at the cost of surrender, he saved the last royal bloodline of the Kessler family.

Sauro probably threatened Evans with the only remaining royal bloodline to force him to reveal the clues of the Starry Tower.

Otherwise, it is hard to imagine that a three-ring legendary knight would obey obediently.

"In this case, Evans should have the key to enter the Starry Tower. Where is the key?"

Sauro spread out his palm, and a talisman stone lay in the palm.

"This is the key to enter the Starry Tower."

The black-robed man stared at the talisman stone, and his breathing became faster involuntarily.

The gray-robed man also changed his dull look just now, subconsciously took a few steps forward, and the chewing sound from under his robe became more and more intense.

Any wizard apprentice who knows the existence of the Starry Tower understands what this inheritance means.

The Starry Tower, the Black Forest, and the Falling Star City.

These are the only three official wizard inheritances on the Starlight Continent, and they are also the hope for countless wizard apprentices to become wizards.

As long as they find one of the three inheritances, they will have a great hope of being promoted to a formal wizard, gaining extraordinary power and a long life.

But soon, the two forced themselves to calm down and looked away from the key.

If the key was held by another wizard apprentice, the two would definitely grab it without hesitation.

But facing Sauro, they could only suppress the thoughts in their hearts.

As members of the same organization, they knew how terrible Sauro was.

Even if the two of them joined forces, they could not be Sauro's opponent.

"How many people can the key allow to enter the Starry Tower?" asked the black-robed man.

"One person." Sauro quickly added, "Don't worry, there are far more than two or three keys to enter the Starry Tower, there are many."

The black-robed man was overjoyed: "Where are the other keys?"

"Evans has more than one key."

Sauro put away the key, with some regret in his tone.

"It's a pity that a wizard apprentice intervened and rescued Evans, otherwise he could have been forced to tell the whereabouts of the other keys."

"In addition, Sunan also has a key to the Starry Tower, which was traded to him by Evans."

The gray-robed man said sullenly: "Then let's find those two people directly and snatch all the keys!"

The black-robed man said coldly: "Let's not talk about Evans. Sunan only has one key. Whose key will it be if he snatches it?"

The gray-robed man was silent for a moment.

The Starry Tower is the hope of becoming a wizard, and they will never give the key to others.

As for giving the key to someone first, and then distributing it to others when they take other keys from Evans, that is even more impossible.

The trust between them is not deep enough to that extent.

If they don't join forces, they are not sure they can deal with Sunan alone.

Although they look down on Ugo, they don't underestimate the power he has established in the underground world.

Being able to kill Ugo, who controls Kasham, Sunan's own strength and the power he controls are enough to make people extremely afraid.

They are not 100% sure that they can snatch the key from Sunan.

In comparison, Evans, a three-ring legendary knight, is easier to deal with.

Besides, that guy has more than one key.

As long as Evans' whereabouts are found, everyone will work together and most likely get what they want.

The black-robed man quickly came up with an idea and asked expressionlessly: "Who is the wizard apprentice who saved Evans?"

"I don't know, that person is hiding very well." Sauro shook his head.

The one who can save people from Sauro and successfully escape is definitely not an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice.

Several names flashed through the black-robed man's mind, and then he said, "Sauro, I request a meeting."

"Second." The gray-robed man said in a muffled voice.

It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for the two of them to find a three-ring legendary knight assisted by a third-level wizard apprentice in the vast continent. They must call on others to work together.

With the key to the Starry Tower, no one would refuse this cooperation.

"I have already sent out a notice." Sauro obviously guessed the two's plan a long time ago, "I came here tonight to inform you that the meeting time will be set in a month, at the old place."

"I know." The black-robed man nodded.

After the matter was handled, Sauro turned around and left without any hesitation, and his figure disappeared into the night.

As he left, the light around him gradually disappeared, and the forest fell into deep darkness again in an instant.

Being in the darkness, the black-robed man seemed to be in a better spirit. He turned his head to look at the gray-robed man, curled his lips, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the gray-robed man.

"You smell like dragon blood, and the concentration is very high."

The black-robed man stopped, turned around and said sarcastically: "Your nose is still as sensitive as ever, and you have transformed a new organ?"

The gray-robed man did not answer, and said in a muffled voice: "Trade. I will exchange the flesh and blood core with you!"

The black-robed man was silent for a while, and said: "Forget the flesh and blood core, that thing is useless to me now. If you really want dragon blood, do me a favor."

"What favor?"

"Kill someone. As for who it is, I will tell you when we get there. If you agree, we will leave now."

"Where to go?"

"Underground world."
