Chapter 159 The changes in the Cangjin Empire, solving the distance problem

After entering the Autumn Curtain Moon, the breath of autumn gradually became stronger.

The plains around the Flashing City were stained with a layer of light yellow.

Sunan entered the palace unimpeded and came to the central palace.

When passing the courtyard, he saw three beautiful children playing in the courtyard from a distance, surrounded by more than a dozen maids.

Noticing Sunan, the oldest boy shouted uncle and ran over happily, hugging Sunan's calf.

The other two younger boys and girls also followed, looking at Sunan curiously.

"My Lord!"

The maids who chased after him saluted respectfully.

Sunan waved his hand, squatted slightly, and touched Abbott's head with a smile.

"Where is your father?"

"My father is in the meeting room." Abbott replied crisply.

Sunan smiled slightly and looked at the two children, a boy and a girl, behind him.

"You must be Weiss and Adela."

Weiss is Key's second son, and Adela is his first daughter.

"How do you know our names?" Weiss asked with his head tilted.

Adela was still young and could not speak much. She just held her fingers in her mouth and stared at Sunan with her dark eyes wide open.

"Because I am your uncle."

"What is uncle?"

Sunan laughed dumbly and did not answer. He patted the little guy's head and turned to look at the maids.

"Take good care of them."

After giving the order, Sunan turned and left.

When he walked away, Abbott looked away eagerly and turned to pat his brother's head.

"Stupid, uncle is father's younger brother. Everyone says uncle is a very powerful person."

Weiss seemed to understand, but after a while his attention was attracted by the butterfly flying in front of him, and he ran to chase the butterfly.

When he came to the meeting room, Key was discussing affairs with the ministers.

From the original Black Stone City to the current Principality of Stars, Key's troops have grown a lot.

There are also many new faces that Sunan does not know.

At this moment, more than ten people sitting in the meeting hall are all powerful nobles of the principality.

However, Sunan only knows a few people such as Brad, Joden and Starley.

Compared with ten years ago, Brad and his friends have a more vicissitudes of life and have aged a lot, and there are many more silver strands in their hair.

Even the power of the great knight cannot resist the erosion of time.

Fortunately, they have been pampered for many years, so their complexion is still rosy and energetic.

Sitting among the ministers in their forties and fifties, Key looks very young.

After all, he is just thirty years old this year and is in the golden age of men.

With legendary strength, he is far from aging.

"Lord Sunan!"

Seeing Sunan coming in, everyone stood up and saluted.

Key also smiled and waved to everyone.

"That's all for today. We'll talk about other things tomorrow. You go back first."

Brad and others responded and retreated tactfully.

The hall became empty in a blink of an eye, with only Key and Sunan left.

After the servant brought the black tea, put it on the coffee table and left, Key smiled and said:

"I haven't seen you here for several months. Have you been busy with the new base recently?"

Sunan mentioned the base relocation to Key.

Although he felt a little regretful, Key respected Sunan's decision.

Besides, Base No. 1 was not completely abandoned, and it would continue to exist as a transit station.

As long as there is such a place, the people in Flash City will feel more secure.

"It's almost done."

Sunan took a sip of the black tea, then put it down and changed the subject.

"I read the court report. The Cangjin Empire has been restless recently?"

Although he spent most of his time in the underground world, Sunan never ignored the situation on the surface world.

Every month, the Principality of Stars compiles the latest important intelligence into court reports, which are sent to the great nobles for reading and sent to Sunan's study.

According to the description in the court newspaper, the Cangjin Empire has been conducting military exercises in border cities adjacent to the Principality of Stars in the past two months. The royal staff speculated that the Cangjin Empire is likely to use this action to cover up some military movements.

"The existence of the Principality has threatened the Cangjin Empire's rule in the southeast region. It is not surprising that His Majesty the Emperor would take action against the Principality." Key said calmly.

If the rulers of other countries knew that their countries were targeted by the Cangjin Empire, even if they were not in a state of panic, they would definitely find it very difficult.

But Key is different.

Because the Principality of Stars has Sunan.

Others may not know, but Key knows how powerful the Star Alliance established by Sunan in the underground world is.

To be honest, the war power of the Star Alliance is even much stronger than that of the Principality of Stars.

With such a reliable ally, Key is certainly not worried.

However, this is also the main reason why the Cangjin Empire targeted the Principality of Stars.

The Principality of Stars with Sunan is like a young lion with great potential.

As long as the Cangjin Empire is not stupid, it will not watch the Principality of Stars grow and compete with them for the hegemony of the Southeast Region one day in the future.

In fact, Keyi knew very well that if it were not for Sunan, the Cangjin Empire would have sent troops to the Principality of Stars long ago.

"What are you going to do?" Sunan asked.

"Although I am not fully prepared, if the Cangjin Empire wants to go to war, I will also accompany it."

Key said with a smile, his tone full of confidence.

"The only problem is that the wizard from the Cangjin royal family is called Scepter, right? Does he belong to the same wizard organization as you?"

"Yes." Su Nan nodded calmly, "I will find a chance to chat with him."

If the scepter really wants to support the Cangjin Empire in starting a war, there's nothing to say. It's just a matter of competing on the battlefield.

Even if they are both in a cabin in the woods, he will not show mercy.

Time flies, and we enter the frosty moon in a blink of an eye.

The first snow finally arrived.

White snowflakes covered the entire land, and the cold wind howled.

However, Longlin is as warm as spring and the climate is suitable as always.

The thirteenth floor of the Dragon Skeleton Tower, No. 3 breeding room.

It is said to be a breeding room, but in fact it uses space folding technology. The actual area is almost one square kilometer. It is one of the only three large breeding rooms in the Dragon Skeleton Tower.

The entire breeding room was transformed into a dark cave environment.

Sunan was currently suspended next to the hanging stalactite milk, watching the young dragon antelope running happily in the huge cave below.

After deciding to establish Longling Ranch, Sunan immediately started to implement it.

But the establishment of a ranch is not just about catching a group of dragon antelopes.

The temperament of adult dragon antelopes has been determined and it is extremely difficult to tame them, so Sunan plans to start training them from young dragon antelopes.

He directly caught a batch of young dragon antelopes that were just a few days old from the wild and brought them to the breeding room to cultivate and domesticate them himself. He planned to wait for these batch of dragon antelopes to grow up and then put them in the pasture outside.

After a few months, the results were quite satisfactory.

Although the young dragon antelope that has been fed by the apprentice is still a little wild and untamable, it is no longer so resistant to the approach and touch of humans.

It is absolutely impossible for an adult dragon gazelle to achieve this level in just a few months.

"After two or three years of cultivation, the wildness should be almost eliminated, and then they can be released into pastures outside."

Sunan left the breeding room and teleported to the workshop.

After this period of practice, his mental power has met the standards for integrating the level 4 magic pattern core.

The physique has already been strengthened to 55 points by eating dragon blood fruit, which also meets the standard.

After that, Sunan immediately synthesized the level 4 magic pattern core and integrated it into his body.

As expected, the power of the upgraded level 4 magic pattern core has increased dramatically.

With all his strength, the metal spike storm formed from the core of the magic pattern bombarded the adamantine golem with holes in it in less than half a minute.

You must know that this is an enhanced adamantine golem, a genuine three-ring legendary puppet, not the original version of the adamantine golem that was encountered at the entrance of Avegni Laboratory.

"If it were a second-ring legendary puppet, it would probably kill him instantly with just one face-to-face encounter."

In terms of defense power, converted into defense degree, it is about 6500 to 7000, which is almost equivalent to the defense superposition of six or seven rings of extreme protection. "

With such a high degree of defense, even if a formal wizard comes, it will take a lot of effort to break through.

For a formal wizard or below, unless his mental power is exhausted, it is basically impossible for anyone to break through.

But the mental consumption that Su Nan was most concerned about had barely increased.

"With my current mental strength, I can sustain it for about four minutes."

"If it's a high-intensity battle, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on for three minutes."

It is worth mentioning that Sunan has also researched the last two alternative metals needed to refine the magic pattern core.

In other words, he has now basically achieved freedom from the magic pattern core.

As long as he wants to, he can refine magic pattern cores in batches at any time.

What restricts him now, besides cost, is his own spirit and physique.

The fusion requirements for level 5 magic pattern core are mental 58.65 and physical 71.24.

As for the level 6 magic pattern core, Sunan probably won't be able to fuse it before being promoted to wizard.

Having said that, this is also good news for Sunan.

The magic pattern core is not only one of his current trump cards, but also the key to his future promotion to a wizard.

This is the reason why he insists on researching alternative metals even though he knows that there is an upper limit to the synthesis level of the magic pattern core.

After staying in the workshop for a long time and creating a batch of magic pattern structures, Sunan returned to the study.

Not long after he sat down, Carolina came over.

"Owner."

Carolina bowed with an enchanting figure.

Since joining Sunan's command, this man-faced lion noble has been eating dragon blood fruits and various enhancement potions. Now his strength has already broken through to the second-level legendary level, which is only stronger than the previous Lord of Youhu City, Yusula.

"What's the matter?" Su Nan asked without raising his head, staring at the book in his hand.

Carolina said respectfully: "Master, the location for setting up the space passage has been selected."

Su Nan finally raised his head, thought about it, got up and walked out of the study.

"lead the way."

"Yes, Master."

Inspired by the Longlin teleportation array, Sunan also planned to set up space channels between the three city-states of Youhu, Matu and Osun to connect them to each other, so as to avoid having to travel hundreds of kilometers each time.

The reason why he did not build a teleportation array was because he did not have the corresponding teleportation array technology.

Furthermore, teleportation technology has always been a field that only wizards have access to. Even if he, a wizard apprentice, has the corresponding skills, he cannot build a teleportation array.

So Sunan thought of a tricky way.

Just like the connection between Base 1 and Base 2, a space channel connecting Longlin was set up in each of the three city-states, with Longlin as the transit point to connect the three city-states.

In this way, although real-time transmission is not possible, at least half of the teleportation array has been achieved, greatly shortening the distance.

After running back and forth several times, Sunan quickly set up a space channel in each of the three city-states.

The opposite side of the channel is connected to an open space separated from Longlin District 3, which is only used as a transit point and cannot enter other areas of Longlin.

"With these three space channels, there will be no need to travel back and forth for long distances in the future."

After testing with the stone golem and confirming that the three space channels can be used normally, Sunan nodded with satisfaction.

The underground world is vast and sparsely populated, the number of city-states is far less than that of the surface world, and each city-state is extremely far apart.

The complex terrain also limits the use of transportation tools such as carriages. Most of the time, people can only travel by foot or ride some riding beasts.

This is also why there are rarely national-level forces in the underground world.

In addition to the many races in the underground world, the lack of efficient transportation and communication systems limits the efficiency of information transmission and material exchange between city-states, making it naturally difficult to form a whole.

Now that the Star Alliance has a space channel, distance is no longer a problem.

In addition to solving the problem of long-distance travel, these three space channels can also provide timely support during wartime.

In less than half an hour, a small golem army can reach another city-state through the space channel.

It can even go a step further and directly place a mobile golem army at the transfer point.

Once a war breaks out in a city-state, the space channel can be opened immediately to provide support, which takes less time.

No matter how detailed and thorough the enemy's considerations are, they will never think that another army will appear in the city-state.

After all, in today's Starlight Continent, no wizard apprentice will build a teleportation array.

Except for Sunan, who holds the Dragon Forest, no other force can provide such rapid support!

Carolina can naturally understand these principles.

When Sunan proposed the idea of ​​building a space channel, she realized how much benefit this would bring to the Star Alliance.

It can be said that with the space channel, the biggest problem of the Star Alliance in expanding its territory in the future has been solved!

Looking at Sunan's back, Carolina couldn't help but flash a trace of awe in her eyes.

In the entire Star Alliance, her position can be said to be one of the positions closest to Sunan.

But even so, she has never really seen Sunan clearly.

The more she came into contact with him, the more she could feel that Sunan was unfathomable. He could always do many incredible things that made people feel unpredictable.

If she had a little bit of reluctance and depression in her heart before, now these emotions have long disappeared, leaving only full of gratitude.

Following this man, she might be able to witness the day when the Star Alliance conquers the entire underground world.
