Chapter 140 External expansion, new member selection

What Sunan asked Sherman and Corey to help with was, of course, to open up a new magic plantation.

After being promoted to Level 2 wizard apprentice, the two had already mastered the skills of manipulating energy particles and could learn to set up magic arrays.

Once they mastered the relevant techniques, they could open up a magic plantation.

With two new helpers, Sunan no longer had to run around and could focus on training and research.

Year 1257 of the Starlight Calendar, Winter Qin Month (January).

Spell training room.

Sunan waved his hand and nine spell missiles attacked at the same time, blowing up a human-shaped target a hundred meters away.

The next moment, another red light hit another target like an arrow from a string, melting it into molten iron.

Looking at the fragments and molten iron on the ground in the distance, Sunan showed a satisfied smile on his face.

[Instant Spell]!

After a year and ten months, he finally mastered this super magic technique!

It is self-evident how significantly the actual combat ability is improved by omitting the spell and directly casting the spell.

The time that other wizard apprentices take to cast one spell is enough for him to cast two or three spells.

From today on, he is a real human turret.

After a moment, Sunan came back to his senses from his joy, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"Which super magic skill should I train next?"

In addition to instant spells and silent spells, super magic skills also include spell extension to increase the casting distance.

Spell delay to extend the duration of spell effects.

Spell extension to increase the range of spell influence.

Compound casting to cast multiple spells at the same time.

Spell construction to improve control over spells so that each spell can play the maximum effect.

There are a total of five super magic skills that Sunan can choose from.

After thinking again and again, Sunan finally chose compound casting.

For him now, spells are more of an auxiliary effect in battle, such as his commonly used levitation, mirror image and light spirit, etc.

In terms of attack and defense, he used more magic items, high-level rune gems and magic pattern cores.

Compared with these, the power of the second-ring spells is a little bit lacking.

Therefore, instead of choosing the other four super magic skills to enhance the spell effect, it is better to choose compound casting, which can have more spell combinations to choose in battle and enhance the flexibility of tactics.

After making the decision, Sunan immediately took action.

[Complete a compound casting exercise, 'compound casting' training progress +0.01%]

Compound casting and spell instant casting are both the two most difficult super magic skills.

Sunan estimated that it would take at least one or two years to master this skill.

"If this continues, maybe I can master all super magic skills before I am promoted to a wizard."

If that is the case, Sunan estimates that he should be the first wizard apprentice in the history of Starlight Continent to master all super magic skills.

With seven super magic skills in hand, if it is a simple spell battle, I am afraid that no wizard apprentice can be his opponent.

After a brief vision of the future, Sunan calmed down his agitated mood and left the magic practice area.

Not long after returning to the study, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Carolina and Red Widow walked in.

"Master!"

The two women bowed.

Sunan looked up and glanced at the two.

Since Red Widow joined his team, Carolina and her seemed to have a chemical reaction, and the two had been competing secretly.

Sunan saw it, but seeing that the competition between the two did not delay development, but improved efficiency in disguise, he turned a blind eye and ignored it.

Under the overall planning and management of the two, the three city-states of Youhu, Matu and Orson have now entered a stable development track.

Orson's garrison force has also been resolved.

After that, Sunan adjusted the task system of the base, reducing the task reward for refining golems and increasing the task reward for making magic gold. This method increased the frequency of apprentices accepting the latter.

It is estimated that it will not take long to gather enough materials to refine the adamantium golem.

"Master, this is the financial report for this month." Carolina handed over a stack of papers respectfully.

Sunan took it and read through it at a glance, his eyes moving slightly.

"Why is it 20% less than last month?"

Carolina quickly replied: "Master, we currently have four mines on the verge of exhaustion, and the output has dropped significantly. It is expected that production will be stopped in two months at most. The output of the remaining three mines has also decreased significantly. Only the six newly developed mines can maintain the same output."

Sunan frowned slightly, but said nothing.

The reason why the first seven mines can provide such lucrative profits is largely due to the amazing mining efficiency of the clay golem.

But as a result, the reserves of the mines have also dropped rapidly.

The fact that the first batch of mines can support it until now is actually quite good.

"How is the exploration of the mines going?" Sunan looked at the Red Widow.

After Matu and Orson settled down, he asked the Red Widow to arrange for people to explore the surrounding area to see if they could find new mineral veins.

"Master, we have discovered two new mineral veins within a hundred miles. Preliminary exploration shows that one is a small iron mine and the other is a small copper mine."

The Red Widow bowed slightly, and a piece of snow-white suddenly appeared on her chest, which was dazzling under the light of the magic lamp.

Carolina next to her saw this and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Stupid slut, you don’t understand your master at all. If your master does this, how can you get your turn?

As expected, Sunan didn't pay attention to the little actions of the red widow at all, but fell into deep thought.

"Two small metal veins are better than nothing."

"Too bad it's not a silver vein."

Sunan felt a little pity.

Among the four mineral veins that were on the verge of exhaustion, one happened to be a silver mine.

This also means that before finding new silver veins, the speed of accumulating mithril will inevitably be greatly reduced.

"When the other silver vein is mined, I wonder if we can gather enough to refine the marionettes?"

"It's better to find new veins."

Su Nan had a plan in his mind, raised his head and ordered to the two women:

"Send more manpower, expand the scope of exploration, and we must find more mineral veins."

Carolina and Red Widow had a sudden thought.

The underground world is no better than the surface. It is full of dangers. No one knows what dangers lurk in the darkness. There may be a powerful monster or a certain ethnic group entrenched in any cave.

It's not that Youhu, Matu, and Osen have never tried to expand their territory in the past, but they suffered heavy losses in the process and had to give up the idea.

If we want to increase the scope of exploration, it means that we are likely to encounter the same problem.

Having said that, Carolina and Red Widow did not hesitate at all and responded decisively.

On the one hand, they did not dare to disobey Sunan's orders, and on the other hand, it was also because they had confidence in the Golem Legion.

Nowadays, the power under Sunan's command far exceeds any of the original Youhu, Matu, and Osun, and is even more powerful than the three combined. It is already qualified to expand outward.

In fact, even if Sunan doesn't bring it up now, Red Widow and Carolina will be unable to help but make corresponding suggestions in a few years.

"Master, don't worry, I will do everything beautifully!" Carolina said firmly.

The red widow who was a step late cursed secretly and quickly followed suit to express her loyalty.

"I will not disappoint my master!"

Late at night, the moonlight filtered in through the window, covering the cabin with a thin layer of white gauze.

Sunan opened her eyes, glanced across the long table, and found that only six people were present tonight.

In addition to him, there is also the night owl who must come to every party, as well as the red heart, the rose, the scepter and the dead body.

Heilin did not attend the party.

The traveler was as invisible as ever.

Seeing the empty seat for the traveler, Sunan felt a little pity.

To be honest, he really wanted to meet the traveler, maybe he could trade some information about the underground world with him.

After a few simple greetings, the party entered the transaction process.

Due to the lack of resources, not everyone at every gathering can bring out high-value trading items. Most of the time they are ordinary materials.

The only exception is Sunan.

In the recent transactions, Sunan no longer only used magic stones to purchase other people's items, but also gradually used some first-level potions and alchemy-level magic items for trade.

After all, only trading with magic stones is a bit of a monopoly, which will inevitably make other people a little dissatisfied.

Anyway, a few first-level potions and alchemy-level magic items are nothing to him.

There are still a lot of them in the warehouse at Base 1.

After several transactions, the items Su Nan took out have become the most sought-after items at the party.

In this transaction, Sunan still focused on various wizarding books, rare materials and soul crystals.

However, his collection of wizarding classics now exceeds 1,300, and the people in the jungle hut are basically unable to come up with wizarding classics that are not identical to those he has in his collection.

Gains in this area have decreased dramatically in recent times.

After a transaction, Su Nan got a few rare materials, but the ten miniature soul crystals obtained from the corpses were the most valuable.

Su Nan had also tried to test the corpse, wanting to buy the technology for making soul crystals from the other party.

But the corpse refused without hesitation.

He could still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.

The dead body's biggest advantage in the jungle hut transaction is the soul crystal. If the corresponding technology is traded to Sunan, with the foundation and strength that Sunan has shown before, maybe a large number of soul crystals will be produced at the next party. .

By then, not only would he lose Sunan as a high-quality trading partner, but his advantage in party transactions would also be gone.

Anyone who is not stupid knows what to do.

Sunan had already expected it and was not disappointed if he was rejected.

It would have been impossible for him to come up with important skills for trading.

After the transaction was over, Ye Xiao raised his hand to signal everyone to wait a moment.

"I have something to tell you."

"I have found a third-level wizard apprentice. After preliminary investigation, I found that his conditions are in line with the purpose of our Jungle Lodge. I intend to invite him to join the Jungle Lodge and would like to hear your opinions."

Everyone was slightly startled.

Quan Zhi said with a smile: "It's really strange. In the past, it took seven, eight or even more than ten years to find new members. Why is it so frequent recently?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Sunan.

After all, it has only been about four years since the latter joined Jungle Lodge. It is indeed surprising that a new member candidate was discovered so soon.

After all, third-level wizard apprentices are not cabbages that can be seen everywhere on the street.

These people are often hidden behind major forces and are generally not easy to get in touch with.

Ye Xiao shrugged and said, "I was also lucky. When I was investigating another person, I accidentally discovered his existence."

Hong Xin asked: "What's going on with the other party?"

Night Owl said slowly: "As a rule, I cannot disclose the specific situation of that person, I can only give general information."

"In terms of strength, the one who just escaped from Savulo not long ago should be enough to prove his strength."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked moved.

"You can actually escape from Savullo. It seems that the strength of the new members should not be underestimated." Scepter said thoughtfully.

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement subconsciously.

Su Nan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and used the communication technique to ask Qiangwei: "Who is Savulo? Judging from the looks of the others, that person is very strong?"

Qiangwei glanced at Sunan and used the communication technique to reply: "Saulo is the founder of the Eternal Life Society. I have never met him, but I heard that he is very powerful. He once killed a four-ring legendary beast by himself. "

Four Rings of Legendary Beasts!

Sunan's eyes narrowed.

That strength really cannot be underestimated!

They are among the top few among the third-level wizard apprentices.

I didn’t expect that there would be such a strong person in Yongsheng.

Even though he acted so radically and was able to live freely in the Starlight Continent for many years, the Eternal Life Society indeed still had a few tricks up its sleeve.

"To be able to escape from that Savulo's men, that person must have at least a third-ring legendary level of strength." Hong Xin pondered.

"There is no problem in terms of strength." Qiangwei nodded slightly.

The Jungle Lodge only invites third-level wizard apprentices to join, but not all third-level wizard apprentices can join, and there are strict requirements for strength.

If Sunan hadn't killed Heb and revealed his powerful power, Ye Xiao would not have invited him to join the jungle hut.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Ye Xiao continued: "In terms of resources, that person comes from a certain royal family and has a lot of good things, so there is no need to worry about not being able to get the items for the transaction."

"I don't need to say more about the conduct. Everyone should understand."

Generally speaking, wizard apprentices who are from the royal family or nobles will behave in a more orderly manner and will not easily cause disasters or cause a large number of lives.

After all, they themselves have concerns.

The style of this type of person is more in line with a cabin in the woods.

"Now let's vote." Night Owl looked around, "According to the rules, if the number of votes exceeds two-thirds, the issue will be considered passed."

Scepter responded immediately: "I have no objection."

"Agreed." Red Heart said.

Qiangwei and Deathbone immediately expressed no objection.

Naturally, Sunan would not object.

Having another trading partner is a good thing.

"Okay, six votes in favor, the issue passes."

Night Owl made up his mind.

Although Heilin and Traveler were not present, the six votes already exceeded two-thirds of the total number of people, so there was no need to ask for their opinions.

"I will contact that person next and extend an invitation to him. Just wait for my good news."
