Chapter 147 Compound Casting, Spell Construction

In the meditation room.

Sunan sat cross-legged on the ground, absorbed the divine energy that had just been extracted into his body, then closed his eyes and began to meditate.

More than three hours later, when he finished his meditation and opened his eyes to call up the panel, he found that his mental power had increased by 0.25.

"good."

Sunan nodded with satisfaction.

"The sixteenth star ring should be constructed by the Flowing Fire Moon next year at the latest."

After getting up and leaving the meditation room, Sunan rushed towards Glitter City.

After being designated as the new capital, Glitter City underwent a round of expansion, covering an area wider and more prosperous than before.

Walking on the road, you can see foreign caravans and travelers everywhere, and it is bustling with people and extremely lively.

The expanded Glitter City is divided into the Royal City, the Inner City and the Outer City.

The outer city is where common people and farmers live, while the inner city is where the nobility and middle class live.

The royal city is located in the center of the city, and a towering palace can be seen from a distance.

Arriving at the royal city, Sunan went straight to the palace.

As soon as I entered the vestibule, I saw two maids walking towards me, leading a handsome little boy.

"Lord Sunan!"

Seeing Sunan, the two maids quickly saluted.

The little boy opened his eyes wide and looked at Sunan curiously.

Looking at the little boy's face that looked very similar to Keyi's, Sunan suddenly understood.

This little guy is Key's son and his nephew, Abbott Yarnest.

This was the first time Sunan saw the little guy since he was born.

Thinking about it, I am still a bit incompetent as an uncle.

Sunan walked over and touched the little guy's head.

The little guy was not afraid of anything, he opened his bright black eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

Sunan smiled, didn't answer, and walked straight inside.

It wasn't until he was far away that the two maids straightened up. One of them explained softly: "Master Abbott, that is Mr. Sunan, your uncle."

"Uncle?" The little guy didn't quite understand the meaning of the word, and tilted his head with a puzzled expression.

However, the child was not reassured, and soon his attention was attracted by the flowers and plants outside, and he ran out giggling.

"Master Abbott, please slow down."

When he came to the study, Keyi was handling government affairs. When he saw Sunan arriving, he stopped working with a smile on his face.

"Why are you free to come to my place today?"

"I saw Abbott just now. The little guy looks quite strong." Su Nan said casually after sitting down.

Key smiled and said: "It's not bad, a little worse than Weiss."

Wes is Key's second son, who just turned two this year.

Since they are the descendants of Key after he was promoted to a legendary knight, his physical fitness is inherently stronger.

"When do you plan to let them start practicing?"

"Let's talk about it after you turn six."

After chatting for a while, Sunan got down to business and raised the topic of separating the finances of the base and the Principality of Stars.

After hearing this, Keyi was not surprised and said with a smile: "Actually, I have wanted to talk to you about this topic for a long time."

Frankly speaking, Key certainly hopes that the base and the Starry Principality can become one and develop together.

But at the same time, he also knew very well that this was impossible.

If in the initial cooperation, both parties had equal status and each got what they needed, but as the base began to develop the underground world, this balance was broken.

Today, the Principality of Stars is in a weak position in cooperation.

The most obvious point is that the base no longer needs to rely entirely on the Principality of Stars for its source of funds.

Even without financial support from the Principality of Stars, the profits from the Star Alliance mines alone are enough to support the development of the base.

On the contrary, the Principality of Stars has always been inseparable from the support of resources such as dragon blood fruits, puppets and demonized weapons from the base.

This is still the present moment. As the base grows stronger, the strength and weakness of both sides will only become more and more obvious.

If they insist on becoming one, the final result is more likely that the Principality of Stars will become a vassal of the base.

So after thinking about it again and again, Key felt that it would indeed be more beneficial to both parties to separate the finances and turn them into a mutually beneficial cooperative transaction relationship.

After hearing Keyi's thoughts, Sunan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that his elder brother had already thought so much.

But this also saves him the effort of persuasion.

The two hit it off immediately and immediately discussed the details.

It wasn't until evening that the two ended their conversation.

"By the way." Key suddenly remembered something, "I heard that the base has released a new weapon called the magic pattern structure. Is it very powerful?"

Su Nan had not deliberately concealed the existence of the magic pattern construct, and it was not surprising that Keyi knew about it. He briefly explained the effects of the magic pattern construct.

After hearing this, Keyi's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly said: "How much does this thing cost?"

With such powerful equipment, if a large number of troops can be armed, an invincible army can be raised in an instant!

Su Nan guessed Keyi's thoughts and poured cold water on him: "The lowest level one magic pattern structure costs more than 80 gold coins, and only I can refine this thing currently. It cannot be manufactured in large quantities. Most of them use I'm here to supply the Knight Guards. If you want it, I can only give you a dozen sets."

Key was a little disappointed, but he was relieved when he thought that as the base grew, the magic pattern structure would benefit the principality's army sooner or later.

Starlight calendar year 1257, the month of flowing fire (July).

Two black rock leopards stopped at the entrance of the base.

Sherman jumped off the Black Rock Leopard's back and looked at the familiar gate of the base, unable to help but sigh.

It had only been about a year since he left the base, but it felt like a long time had passed.

After old Roger passed away, the base has become like home in his heart.

"Why are you dazed? Hurry and report to the teacher."

Kore led the black rock leopard into the base and said without looking back.

As soon as they passed through the gate, they saw several students walking towards them. They quickly noticed Sherman and Corey, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

"Senior Sherman, Senior Corey, you are back!"

Sherman smiled and said hello.

A rare smile appeared on Kore's face.

Although he didn't say anything, his mood improved a lot when he returned to the familiar base.

After chatting with his juniors for a while, Xie Man thought of business and asked, "Where's the teacher?"

"The teacher has returned to Base 2."

Sherman and Corey looked at each other, handed the Black Rock Leopard to their junior students, told them to return it to the warehouse, and then rushed to Base 2 without stopping.

Youhu City is as dark and damp as ever.

Quickly walking through the dirty lower town, Sherman and Corey quickly entered the clean and tidy upper town.

But they were soon surprised to find that there were many more humans in the upper city area.

Walking on the street, from time to time you can see several boys and girls passing by talking and laughing.

These people were probably between sixteen and eighteen years old, and they wore well-made leather armor.

Sherman could tell at a glance that those leather armors were magical armors that had been enchanted.

In addition, the knight's swords carried on their waists are also mostly magical weapons.

Sherman and Corey thought for a while, and both understood the identities of these people.

"It seems that the Knight Guard has welcomed its first batch of members." Sherman said with a smile.

"I just don't know what my strength is?" Kore looked at the young knight not far away with a scrutinizing gaze.

The original purpose of the establishment of the Knight Guard was to cooperate with the actions of wizard apprentices outside.

Naturally, there must be a certain level of strength.

"Since I can pass the teacher's test, I think my strength should be no problem." Xie Man smiled.

When the young knights along the way saw the two wizard apprentices in robes, they all stopped and bowed slightly.

Sherman and Corey kept walking, rushing towards the towering stone pillars in the center of the city.

A long distance apart, the two heard roars coming one after another from the direction of the stone pillars.

The sound seemed to be made by some kind of beast, with a breathtaking power.

Sherman and Corey looked at each other with some surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.

The two of them quickened their pace and hurried forward. After crossing the corner, they quickly saw the source of the sound.

In the open space in front of the base, there are dozens of huge metal cages, each containing a ferocious beast.

These beasts have different shapes, some are snake-shaped, some are like lizards, and some are even made of rocks.

But the only thing they have in common is that they all have huge and strong jaws, claws on their front and rear limbs, and are covered with a layer of thick scales.

"A dragon species!"

Sherman immediately recognized the race of these monsters, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Where did you catch so many sub-dragon species?

Corey was also surprised.

The sub-dragon species is a very rare creature, why do so many appear all of a sudden?

If these sub-dragon species were not imprisoned in metal cages, and each one was seriously injured, he would have thought that Youhu City encountered a beast tide.

Carolina was standing at the door, instructing the clay golem to move the metal cage. She caught a glimpse of Sherman and Corey from the corner of her eye, nodded gently to them, and said:

"The master is waiting for you two in the study."

Upon hearing this, Sherman and Corey did not dare to delay any longer, suppressed the doubts in their hearts, and quickly entered the base.

Arriving at the study door, before knocking, Su Nan's voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Sherman and Corey took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in. They immediately saw Sunan sitting behind the desk.

"Teacher!" The two of them bowed and saluted.

Sunan looked at the two of them.

After a year of running around, the two of them have lost a lot of their youthfulness, and their faces have become more composed and steady, making them look more mature.

Su Nan nodded secretly and said, "Have the matters in the Demon Plant Garden been taken care of?"

"Yes, teacher." Kore replied respectfully, "The three magic plant gardens have been opened and are running well. The handover personnel have also been stationed in the magic plant garden."

"Well done, go back to Geli to settle the contribution points."

Sunan smiled and praised, then continued before the two of them showed joy:

"Go back and rest for five days, and then come to the Knight Guard to select personnel. Then the two of you will join the exploration operation and assist Carolina and Red Widow in exploring the surrounding areas of the Covenant."

"Yes, teacher!"

Sherman and Corey agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, let's get down." Sunan waved his hand.

After the two of them left, he stood up and left the study, heading to the laboratory.

The operation to capture the sub-dragon species has made progress. The personnel sent by Carolina and the Red Widow successfully found the group of sub-dragon species and captured many sub-dragon species alive.

But after that, when the investigation team wanted to continue their investigation, they were attacked by a sword crystal dragon.

The Sword Crystal Dragon is a very powerful and rare sub-dragon species.

An adult Sword Crystal Dragon has the power of a second-ring legend, and those who live longer can even reach a third-ring legend.

Facing such powerful beasts, the investigation team was no match and had no choice but to retreat.

Sunan originally wanted to assign the investigation task to Sheman and Cole after they came back, but now it seems that this plan can only be cancelled.

"It seems that I have to go there in person."

After all, it involves the improvement of the hidden dragon's strength, and the blood and many organs of the sub-dragon species are high-value materials. Sunan still attaches great importance to this matter and is determined to find out the source of those sub-dragon species.

The captured sub-dragon species have been transported to the prison area.

Suppressed by the prison area magic circle, the sub-dragon species, which were already seriously injured, no longer have the irritability and ferocity a moment ago. One by one, they lay on the ground listlessly. When they saw Sunan coming in, they just looked up and glanced at him, ignoring him.

Sunan looked around, and his expression became more and more surprised.

There are a total of 25 sub-dragon species, including 18 races.

There are also three legendary high-level sub-dragon species.

Except for human factors, Sunan can't think of the reason why so many sub-dragon species of different races and levels live in the same area.

This makes him more curious about the reasons behind it.

But besides being curious, Sunan was also very happy.

With so many sub-dragon species, the speed of increasing the blood concentration of the hidden dragon will definitely be greatly improved.

After calming down, Sunan hit the nearest sub-dragon species with a weakening ray and began to extract blood.

Time flies, and it is the month of frost (November) in a blink of an eye.

After three months of blood fusion, the blood concentration of the hidden dragon successfully exceeded 45%, the body expanded again, and the color of the scales on the surface of the body became brighter and brighter.

At the same time, the training progress of compound casting finally reached 100%.

Sunan successfully mastered the third super magic skill.

After the actual test, Sunan found that he could cast up to three different types of spells at the same time.

For example, he could cast levitation, elemental protection and spell missiles at the same time, but he could not cast scorching rays, spell missiles and crushing sound waves at the same time.

Because the operating principles of spells are similar, the latter will conflict and cause the spell to fail.

However, even so, compound casting is a very powerful skill, which greatly enhances Sunan's actual spellcasting ability.

"With compound casting and spell instant, I can easily deal with opponents below the third ring legend with spells alone."

Su Nan's face flashed a smile.

"The next super magic skill is spell construction."

Spell construction can improve the control of spells and make each spell play the maximum effect.

Take spell missiles as an example. Wizards (apprentices) who have mastered spell construction can not only greatly increase the power of spell missiles, but also change the shape of spell missiles into shapes such as cones or arrows, and control their flight trajectory, making it difficult for enemies to see through.

If it is changed to shield magic, the invisible shield in the shape of a tower shield can also be turned into armor covering the whole body to increase the protection area.

In short, after mastering spell construction, many spells can play a more powerful and flexible effect than before, and the improvement of actual combat ability is very obvious.

"Spell construction is less difficult than compound casting and spell instant, and it should take less than two years to master it."

Su Nan started the training progress of spell construction on the spot and immediately looked at the sky outside the window.

"It's time to go to Rui'an City next."

If it weren't for compound casting, he would have left for Rui'an City long ago.

Now that compound casting has been mastered, it's time to deal with the things over there.

I'm going to slap myself in the face. There are too many trivial matters. The additional chapters will be delayed. I will first ensure that the daily update is 8,000, and I will add more chapters when I have spare energy. The second update tonight will be a little late. I apologize to everyone.
