Chapter 2: A Vague Legend

Each enlightenment book is actually a kind of meditation method.

And the Star Ring Meditation Method is the meditation method attached to the enlightenment book that activates Sunan's spiritual power.

The core is to build a star ring in the mind.

Every time a star ring is built, the spiritual power will increase significantly.

According to the description of the enlightenment book, as long as three star rings are successfully built and the spiritual power reaches 12 points, you can be promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice.

As Sunan closed his eyes, his vision fell into darkness in an instant, and his consciousness was like a stone falling into a lake, gradually sinking to the bottom of the quiet and silent lake.

A dazzling starlight slowly emerged from the darkness, gradually growing to form a lock ring.

However, most of this lock ring showed an illusory texture, and only about one-tenth of the part was real.

During the meditation process, there were constant flashes of light around Sunan, sinking into his body, and constantly filling the illusory part of the star ring.

I don’t know how long it took, Sunan suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

He took out his pocket watch and saw that nearly two hours had passed.

On the panel, the Star Ring Meditation Method increased the proficiency by 5 points, and the mental power also increased by 0.01.

"It's the same two hours of meditation time, but the gains are about two and a half times the usual."

"This is the benefit of increased mental activity."

A smile appeared on Sunan's face.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by someone knocking on the door.

"Master Sunan, Lord Keyi is back and asked you to go to the martial arts training ground."

Sunan came back to his senses and said lightly: "I know."

Black Stone City was built on the mountain.

In order to prevent the invasion of black-scaled lizardmen, the city walls were built very tall, and towers were densely covered on the periphery.

From a distance, it looked like a beast entrenched in the mountains and forests.

In the center of the city, there stands a wide inner castle.

Unlike the crucial city walls, the inner castle has not been repaired for many years and looks a bit dilapidated.

Only the martial arts training ground is flat and open. It can be seen that it has just been expanded not long ago, revealing the owner's heart for martial arts.

When Sunan walked into the martial arts training ground, he saw his elder brother Key standing at the edge of the field, followed by seven or eight strong men in armor.

These people are the only knights in Black Stone City, and they are also the last loyal fighting force left by their father, Baron Arnest, to the Flash Family.

"The physical fitness of formal knights is above 8, and high-level knights like my elder brother can reach more than 14 points."

"Compared with these inhuman beings, my body is so weak."

Looking at his physical fitness of only 0.7, which is worse than that of ordinary people, Sunan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

His predecessor was born with deficiencies and had a weak physical fitness since childhood. Although he also practiced breathing methods, he made almost no progress and was not a knight at all.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always lived under the aura of his elder brother Key. He didn't say it on the surface, but he was very unwilling in his heart.

Otherwise, he would not have placed his hopes on the illusory wizard legend, but ended up giving up his life.

Although there are many wizard books left on this continent, ordinary people can't understand the words on them at all, so people only regard these books as antiques worth collecting.

Wizards have also become legendary things, and most of the time they only appear in some ancient legends.

"Brother." Sunan called out.

Key turned around and looked at his brother, with a smile on his sculpture-like face.

"You came just in time, I got what you want for you."

The knights around bowed to Sunan.

Sunan looked at the cart on the side.

There were more than ten corpses on it.

These corpses were covered with black scales, with eagle claw-like palms, protruding mouths and sharp fangs.

Even though they were dead, they still exuded a fierce and fierce aura.

It was the mortal enemy of Black Stone City - the Black Scale Lizardmen!

These sub-human creatures lived in the wilderness dozens of kilometers away.

They do not produce anything, but only know how to plunder. Every year, they invade villages around Black Stone City to plunder and kill people, which makes people hate them.

Whenever the Black Stone City Guards go out, they are mostly to deal with these bandits.

"Please send someone to carry the things to my laboratory."

"No problem."

Key called a soldier to order him, then turned his head to look at Sunan, hesitated, and couldn't help asking:

"Can we really find a way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army with only these black-scaled lizard corpses?"

Sunan smiled slightly and said, "I said it now, but you don't believe it. I'd better wait until I show the results, and you won't doubt it when you see it with your own eyes."

Key sighed, "I don't doubt you, but the legend of the wizard is illusory, and whether it is true or false has not been determined yet. I don't know."

Sunan smiled and said, "Anyway, there are only more than ten black-scaled lizard corpses, and I don't feel bad about losing them."

Key nodded and said nothing more.

Half a year ago, my father died unexpectedly on the battlefield, and the cause of his death was a mystery. With the support of Marquis Jinyan, my uncle Owen Yanest took the opportunity to seize the title of the Flash Baron and took over most of the territory of the Flash Territory.

If he hadn't been afraid of being too greedy, and the other three lords of the Flash Territory had ambiguous attitudes, Owen would have killed the two brothers long ago, instead of finding a reason to exile them to Black Stone City in disguise.

Even so, the threat from Owen is still a sword of Damocles hanging over his head at all times.

It might fall down one day and take the lives of the two brothers.

For this reason, Keyi practiced desperately and tried every way to strengthen the power of Black Stone City.

So much so that the so-called wizard methods held a glimmer of hope.

——Although he was not optimistic about this matter in his heart.

Listening to the conversation between the two brothers, many knights around showed disapproving expressions.

They didn't believe that there was something on the black-scaled lizard man that could make them stronger.

It's not like no one had tried lizard man meat before, and they didn't see that the body became stronger after eating it, and the meat was very unpalatable.

Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Sunan sighed secretly.

People in this world don't understand how powerful wizards are.

Knights and wizards, just like practicing martial arts and cultivating immortals, are not comparable at all.

Even the most powerful legendary knights in the Principality of Stars are just a slightly larger ant in front of a formal wizard, and they can be destroyed with a backhand.

Shaking his head, Sunan didn't intend to explain. He said a few words to Keyi and turned to leave the martial arts training ground.

After returning to the courtyard where he lived, Sunan went straight to the basement.

This was the laboratory he had people clean out for biological transformation research.

A large number of books left by his predecessor, except for enlightenment books and several spell model books, the rest were books related to biological transformation and potion making.

Including "Biology", "Mutation", "Blood Extraction", "Anatomy", "Neurology", "Basics of Pharmacy", and "Magic Plant Cultivation".

It was with these books, plus some practical operations, that Sunan successfully completed the learning progress of potion making and successfully mastered this skill.

In addition, the learning progress of another skill "Biological Transformation" has also exceeded 50%.

It is estimated that it will be successfully completed in another month or two.

"But if you want to master other skills or spells, you have to collect more wizard books."

This is also one of the reasons why Sunan boasted in front of his eldest brother.

Only by making others realize the power of wizards will they be more dedicated to help collect various resources.

Otherwise, even if the eldest brother is willing to continue to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to help collect resources for the sake of brotherhood, the knights under his command will be full of complaints and will not work hard.

For more than two months, Sunan has been busy with this matter.

He spent a lot of effort to master the production of potions in preparation for the next action.

After looking at the more than ten lizard corpses piled in the corner, he took out a book "Zero-level Potion Encyclopedia" from the cabinet and turned to page 284.

The pages were filled with dense text and complex and complicated patterns.

The first line at the top was a few bold black fonts.

Dragon Blood Potion!
