Chapter 141 Star Alliance Start-up, Graduation Assessment

Astral calendar year 1256, Spring Dawn (March).

After three months of precipitation, Sheman and Corey have basically stabilized their realm and mastered the relevant array layout skills for opening up the magic plant garden.

Sunan then gave them orders in the form of tasks, asking them to rush to the selected location to open up a new magic plant garden.

Considering the convenience of doing things, Sunan also allowed them to select some people from the apprentices in the base to assist in completing the task.

The day after accepting the task, the two led the team to set off in a hurry and rushed to other provinces of the principality.

After transferring the work of opening up the magic plant garden, Sunan's workload was reduced a lot.

After making four death knell marks, he stopped using the blood of the death knell striker to make blood vein marks and began to work on increasing the blood vein concentration of the death knell striker.

After the tossing some time ago, the death knell striker had also honestly surrendered to Sunan, actively cooperated with Sunan's experiments, and allowed him to set up some small tricks in his body.

The so-called small trick is actually a high-level rune gem.

Sunan embedded the gem into the head of the death knell striker. As long as he had a thought, he could immediately detonate the high-level rune gem and instantly shatter the head of the death knell striker.

It's no wonder that he is so cautious. After all, the death knell striker is a savage beast. Although he is well-behaved now, no one knows when he will rebel.

Especially after awakening the divine energy, the strength of the death knell striker will inevitably increase greatly. If there is no means of checks and balances, it may cause big trouble at that time.

After all, he can't keep an eye on the death knell striker all the time.

It is much more difficult to improve the blood of ancient beasts than the blood of subdragons.

According to the contents of the experimental notes left by Ugo, the blood source of the death knell striker is an ancient beast called the hissing alien insect.

According to the information given by the magic cube, the current blood concentration of the death knell striker is 32.49%.

However, it took Sunan more than half a month to increase the blood concentration of the Death Knell Beater by 0.04%.

"If it needs to be increased to 100% to allow the Death Knell Beater to awaken the divine energy and turn into a terrifying insect, it will take a long time."

Sunan frowned and thought, thinking that he should change his mind.

"If the blood is synthesized directly, can the divine energy be born?"

"It's worth a try!"

Sunan decided to save the blood drawn from the Death Knell Beater next, and when a certain amount is accumulated, it will be directly synthesized into the blood of the terrifying insect to see if the divine energy can be born.

If successful, he won't have to waste a long time on increasing the blood concentration.

After all, the Death Knell Beater is not his magic pet. If the strength is increased too much, it will be difficult to suppress it. It would be better if it can maintain the current strength level.

"The blood concentration of the hidden dragon is about to break through 40%."

Regarding the increase in the blood concentration of the hidden dragon, Sunan has never fallen behind.

It's just that without the high-concentration sub-dragon blood and dragon blood fusion, the concentration of the hidden dragon's bloodline increases very slowly.

If there are no other external factors, Sunan estimates that it will take at least seven or eight years to advance the hidden dragon's bloodline to the real dragon bloodline.

"Although I asked Keyi to help find news about sub-dragon species and dragon species, it is still a question whether we can find suitable sub-dragon species and dragon species given the current situation of the Starlight Continent."

There must be low-level sub-dragon species on the Starlight Continent now.

But it's hard to say about high-level sub-dragon species and dragon species.

Perhaps the probability of finding them in the underground world is even greater.

It's just that Sunan's power in the underground world has just begun to take shape, and it is not enough to conduct a large-scale search. He can only expand his power map step by step, and when his power is strong enough, he will search for high-level sub-dragon species and dragon species.

Time flies, and time passes quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it is the month of Xialong (June).

On his 24th birthday, Sunan finally gathered the magic gold needed to refine the gold golem.

Looking at the densely packed magic gold ingots in the puppet factory, he smiled with joy.

"Finally, I can refine it."

Su Nan took a deep breath and started to refine it.

As early as two months ago, his [Puppet Refining] had been upgraded to level 5, which was more than enough to refine the gold golem.

Building the golem body, engraving the enchanted runes, constant spells, attaching magic characteristics. Three days have passed in the whole process.

When Su Nan stopped with a long sigh, there was already a huge monster on the workbench.

Under the bright light of the magic stone lamp, the gold golem was dark red all over, shining with a cold metallic luster. Just looking at it, it gave people a heavy sense of oppression, and it looked extremely majestic.

Su Nan then embedded the soul core into the groove of the golem's chest, completing the last step.

As the dazzling light shone through the gold golem, a strange breath of life suddenly appeared in this huge body.

Buzz!

The adamantium golem trembled, then sat up, walked down the workbench, and landed with a muffled thud.

"Master, please give orders!"

The adamantium golem made a low, monotonous voice.

Looking at this scene, Su Nan showed a satisfied expression.

In addition to the normal structure, the adamantium golem in front of him also added a series of second-ring spells such as [Levitation], [Lightness], [Tenacity], and [Brute Force].

In addition, there are magic characteristics such as [Black Steel], [Weak Lightning Element Damage], and [Weak Ice Element Damage].

The refining cost of an ordinary fine gold golem is about 50,000 gold coins.

However, the fine gold demon statue refined by Su Nan cost about 53,000 gold coins due to the addition of constant spells and demonic properties.

The benefits brought by the high cost are naturally the increase in strength.

The adamantine demon statue that I encountered in Avegni inheritance before was only close to the level of strength of the three-ring legend.

And Su Nan's fine gold demon statue is a genuine three-ring legend, which is enough to deal with ordinary third-level wizard apprentices.

People like Hebb are no match for the Adamantine Golem.

It can be said that each adamantine golem is equivalent to the powerful combat power of a third-level wizard apprentice.

"Although it has not reached the top level of the Three Ring Legend, it is not bad."

Sunan nodded secretly.

In terms of overall strength, the Adamantine Golem can only be regarded as average in the Legend of Three Rings, and is even worse than the Knell Striker.

However, considering the golem's high resistance to sonic attacks containing the power of the soul, it is not certain who will win against the adamantine golem against the Death Knell Striker.

"It's a pity that the cost of this thing is too high, otherwise it could be refined more."

Sunan doesn't have much liquidity now. Before finding a new vein of minerals, he can only refine an adamantine golem first.

"We already have the three-ring legendary puppets, and the only remaining ones are the marionettes."

In Sunan's original vision, the redesigned simplified version of the marionette had a comprehensive combat power that was infinitely close to the fourth-ring legendary level, and the cost was about 80,000 gold coins.

But today is different from the past.

As his mental power grows, the number of high-level rune gems synthesized has now increased to 32, and his power has also been greatly enhanced.

One of the key materials for secret puppets is high-level rune gems.

The increased power of the latter will naturally increase the marionette's combat effectiveness.

Coupled with the demonization treatment of puppets during this period, his skills in enchanting properties on the puppets' bodies have improved by leaps and bounds. If this skill is applied to marionettes, it will definitely improve a lot of combat effectiveness.

With the double growth, the marionette's combat effectiveness can definitely exceed the original expectations, and it will reach the fourth-ring legendary level without any problem.

But what follows is an increase in costs.

The initial estimate is most likely close to 100,000 gold coins.

"If the soul core does not use small soul crystals, but medium-sized soul crystals, the combat effectiveness can be further improved, but in that case, the cost will definitely exceed 100,000 gold coins!"

Sunan couldn't help but grin.

This amount is almost as much as the tax income of a marquis for several years!

But if one can exchange one hundred thousand gold coins for a combat power equivalent to that of a top level three wizard apprentice, it would be worth it.

At least the royal family of any country or any third-level wizard apprentice would not refuse this kind of deal.

"But to refine the secret puppet, we still need more than five kilograms of mithril."

Sunan sighed.

It's a pity that Ugo, who died at his hands before, didn't even have 0.1 kilogram of mithril in his relics, otherwise the gap wouldn't be so big now.

As expected, wizards (apprentices) who specialize in biological modification are poor compared to other wizards (apprentices).

Putting the adamantine golem into the Rubik's Cube, Sunan left the puppet factory.

As soon as I returned to the study, Carolina came to the door.

"Master, this is the report sent from Dragon Heart Knight Academy."

"Put it on the table." Su Nan waved his hand.

Carolina respectfully placed the report on the table, bowed and stepped away.

Sunan picked up the report, opened it and started reading.

The content of the report is very simple, mainly about the graduation assessment of Dragon Heart Knight Academy.

As the earliest knight academy established, it has been three years since Dragon Heart Knight Academy opened.

In June next year, the first class of students will graduate.

According to the rules, students must pass the graduation assessment in order to graduate successfully.

In view of this, Moritz, as the dean, formulated several assessment forms and submitted them specially for Sunan to review.

"It's been three years so soon."

Sunan sighed slightly.

With the sufficient supply of Dragon Blood Fruit, the strength of the students at Dragon Heart Knight Academy has improved rapidly.

The second-year students basically already have the strength of the trainee knight level.

In the third grade, 22 students were successfully promoted to knights.

By the summer moon next year, it is expected that five hundred graduates will graduate as knights.

In any country, this is a very amazing result.

There has never been such a systematic institution for training knights on the Starlight Continent.

"It looks like the Knight Guard will be welcoming its first members soon."

Sunan smiled with satisfaction, then showed a thoughtful expression.

The promotions of Sherman and Corey are a critical time point.

It means that the cultivation and accumulation of the base has reached the point of accumulation.

Starting from these two people, more students will be promoted to second-level wizard apprentices.

The second-level wizard apprentice already has good combat effectiveness and can truly participate in his power development plan.

In the surface world, the Principality of Stars is now in a period of stable development, and there will be no war in the short term.

However, the underground world is at a critical point of beginning its external expansion. It is foreseeable that it will soon usher in a period of rapid expansion, which is when a large number of manpower is needed.

And these second-level wizard apprentices can just participate in this expansion.

This is also an exercise for them.

Although he did not agree with the cruel training method of the black wizards, Sunan did not want to cultivate a group of flowers in a greenhouse.

A truly powerful wizard has never been an academic. He must be knowledgeable and skilled in fighting.

After all, whether it is collecting resources or adventuring and exploring, fighting and fighting are inevitable.

"The newly established Knight Guard can be combined with the second-level wizard apprentices to explore the surrounding areas."

"Otherwise, with only the current power of the Star Alliance, there are still a few people."

The Star Alliance is the name Sunan gave to his power in the underground world.

From now on, Youhu, Matu and Osen will no longer show themselves as separate individuals, but will uniformly call themselves the Star Alliance.

Today's Star Alliance has just been established, and the main force is various puppets. There are very few members with real subjective initiative. There are only two major races, vampires and human-faced sphinxes, and the total number of people is less than 400.

Whether it is exploring the surrounding areas or expanding outward, puppets alone are definitely not enough, and subordinates with subjective initiative are also indispensable.

There are too few people available, so many things can't go on.

That's why Sunan wants to let the second-level wizard apprentices and the Knight Guards of the base participate.

While increasing the available manpower, it can also check and balance the vampires and the Sphinx, so that the two will not have any unnecessary thoughts in the long run.

After thinking for a while, Sunan had already made up his mind. He put the report aside, took the paper and started writing.

Since it has been decided to let the Knight Guards participate in the expansion of the underground world, they must adapt to and understand the underground world as soon as possible.

The graduation assessment is obviously a good opportunity.

About half an hour later, Sunan finished writing, called Carolina, gave her the rough outline of the graduation assessment, and asked her to contact Moritz to be responsible for making detailed plans.

After Carolina left, Sunan took the paper again and wrote the four big words "Magic Pattern Construction" on it.

The knowledge of Magic Pattern Construction was traded from the jungle hut.

It is a special enchanted rune that combines magic tattoos and magic weapons. It is not very useful for wizard apprentices, but it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of knights.

The reason why Sunan came up with the idea of ​​establishing the Knight Guard was inspired by the magic rune structure.

Now that the Knight Guard is about to take shape, the forging of the magic rune structure should also be put on the agenda.

"The power of junior and intermediate knights is still not enough in the dangerous underground world. If there is a magic rune structure, the Knight Guard can play a better role."

A set of the lowest level first-level magic rune structure is enough to strengthen the power of a junior knight to the level of a peak knight close to a great knight.

As long as there are enough magic rune structures, the Knight Guard will soon become a powerful armed force!
