Chapter 212: Undead Transformation

"Fakado and the others have decided to join the academy."

In the study, Sunan, Qiangwei and Quanzhang sat opposite each other.

After hearing Quanzhang's words, Sunan looked calm and not surprised at all.

As early as when he invited Fakado and the other four, he knew that they would eventually agree to join the Starlight Academy.

Unless they don't want to improve their strength and become wizards, they will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of freely exchanging resources.

In the entire Starlight Continent, only the Starlight Academy (Star Alliance) has enough resources to support their promotion to wizards.

"Other wizard apprentices of the Russell family have also joined the academy."

Quanzhang drank a sip of flower tea, and the fragrance of the tranquilizing flower slightly refreshed him.

"In addition, the wizard qualification test in the Northwest Territory just ended last month, and a new batch of students just arrived at the academy yesterday, a total of 523 people. Now the total number of students in the academy has exceeded 1,400."

Sunan nodded slightly: "What about the number of second-level wizard apprentices?"

"One hundred and two." The Scepter reported a number without thinking, obviously familiar with the development of the academy, "The number is still growing. It is estimated that in another 20 to 30 years, the number of second-level wizard apprentices is likely to exceed 300."

Sunan nodded in understanding.

From the base era to the current academy, after years of precipitation, the second-level wizard apprentices have ushered in the moment of accumulation and development. In the future, the number of second-level wizard apprentices will only increase faster and faster.

As for the third-level wizard apprentices, that is still a long way off.

When will the first student of Starlight Academy be promoted to the third-level wizard apprentice?

"With more than 1,400 students, if there were not four more instructors, I would be too busy to teach alone." Qiangwei complained a little.

The Scepter nodded in agreement.

The number of mentors in Starlight Academy is still too small, with a ratio of nearly 500 to 1, which makes the three mentors feel very stressed.

If they didn't teach more and contribute more, they would have protested long ago.

Fortunately, with the addition of Fakado and the other four, the pressure is finally not so great now.

Sunan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

After a pause, he pondered again, "If you know any other third-level wizard apprentices, you might as well invite them. As long as they can pass the approval of me and most of you mentors, they can also join the academy as mentors."

"No problem!" The Scepter smiled and agreed, "I happen to know a few people."

Rose also said that she would contact them.

"By the way, where is the traveler?" Sunan finally remembered another person who was not present.

"He went into seclusion." Rose said, "The traveler plans to transform himself into a semi-elemental life to extend his lifespan."

After a pause, she added, "In fact, I also plan to undergo a semi-elemental transformation in the near future."

"Me too." The Scepter said seriously, "I plan to exchange some high-level sub-dragon blood and then perform blood fusion."

Su Nan's expression moved slightly.

The plans of Rose and the other two reminded him that none of them had undergone biological transformation surgery to extend their lifespan.

As far as Su Nan knew, there were usually only three ways for wizard apprentices to extend their lifespan, in addition to taking special potions such as the Dawn Potion.

In addition to semi-elementalization and blood fusion, there was also a way to transform into a dead form.

Completely transform the body and soul into the dead form, thereby greatly extending lifespan.

Of course, wizard apprentices in the dead form are not truly immortal, but their lifespan will increase by two or three hundred years, which is far more than the first two methods.

But the cost is also very huge.

First, the transformation conditions are harsh and the success rate is low.

In addition to requiring a large amount of resources, you also need to find a place like the Black Forest with a strong negative energy as the transformation site.

Even if all conditions are met, the success rate of transformation will not be higher than 20%.

Secondly, even if the transformation is successful with great luck, it will be difficult to increase your strength in the future, and you will basically have no hope of being promoted to a wizard.

You should know that the reason why most wizard apprentices extend their lifespans is to gain more time to be promoted to wizards. Transforming undead can be said to be putting the cart before the horse, so very few wizard apprentices will choose this method.

In comparison, although semi-elementalization and blood fusion increase lifespan a little less, there is at least room for improvement and hope for promotion.

However, most wizards will not perform semi-elementalization and blood fusion during the apprenticeship stage.

After all, biological transformation at this stage does not greatly improve their own strength, but will affect future development.

It is best to wait until you are promoted to a wizard, and then choose a more powerful blood fusion, or perform a deeper elementalization, which will be more conducive to future growth.

It is just that in today's Starlight Continent, wizard apprentices basically have no choice.

After the three of them joined the Starlight Academy, they were no longer so short of resources, but they had "wasted" too much time before. If they followed the routine, the probability of being promoted to a wizard before their death was very slim.

Therefore, they could only choose semi-elementalization and blood fusion.

Even so, the probability of the three of them being promoted to formal wizards was still extremely low, less than 10%.

Even worse than the outstanding apprentices such as Sherman and Cole.

At least the latter had a good chance of being promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice before the age of fifty. In the future, they would have much more time to sprint to wizards than the three of them, and the possibility of successful promotion was also greater.

To be honest, Sunan didn't mind if the Star Alliance had one or two more wizards.

In the future, when fighting against the [Dark Throne], there would be one or two more combat forces.

In view of this, he is now studying the formula of the construction potion.

There are more than 50 bottles of construction potion brought out from the Starry Tower. The quantity is not small, but there will always be a day when it will be used up.

To prepare for a rainy day, new construction potions must be made as soon as possible.

It is definitely impossible to find all the main materials for making construction potions on the Starlight Continent, and it is also difficult to study alternative materials.

So Sunan simply did the opposite and focused on studying the weakened version of the construction potion.

As long as the research is successful, no matter how weak the effect is, it can be synthesized through the magic cube to produce a potion that is not inferior to the original version.

After chatting with Qiangwei about the academy for a while, Sunan left the study and went straight to the construction site of the wizard tower in Area 2.

After more than a year of construction, the tower base and tower body of the wizard tower are almost completed, and he has now started to build the central crystal energy transmission system.

After the construction of the central crystal energy transmission system is completed, the element pool will follow.

As long as these two facilities can run smoothly, the foundation of the wizard tower will be laid, and then space planning can be carried out.

"Before that, it's better to get the tower spirit out, so that it will be convenient to grasp the construction speed of the wizard tower in real time."

Sunan decided to go back and start refining the tower spirit.

This is also a difficult project.

The difficulty of refining the tower spirit is only higher than that of the secret doll.

Astral calendar 1288, the month of sleep (December).

In the records of some wizard books, the month of sleep symbolizes talent.

Some wizards who specialize in prophecy believe that babies born in this month have extraordinary potential.

Potential means the power of sleep, and sleep corresponds to awakening - from sleep to awakening - this is the meaning of the month of sleep.

This month is also the most important month in the first year of farewell to the old.

Fleming agrees with this statement in his heart.

Because he was born in the month of sleep.

"What are you looking at, Fleming."

Donohan's voice came from his ears, interrupting Fleming's meditation.

He didn't even raise his head, and casually responded while turning the page.

"A book on astrology, the content is quite interesting."

"When did you become interested in this?" Donohan was very curious.

In his impression, Fleming seemed to never read such books.

"For wizards, knowledge is power, and it is not bad to learn more about other knowledge."

Fleming put a bookmark in the middle of the page, closed the book and put it aside.

"I heard from Teacher Qiangwei that Lord Sunan has memorized all the books in the academy and the Dragon Skeleton Tower Library."

Donohan curled his lips and said, "You also know that it is Lord Sunan. It takes us several months to thoroughly understand a spell book. It will take us a long time to read all the books in the library."

"Let's not talk about this. Are you going to attend the banquet tonight?"

Fleming nodded without thinking: "Senior Xieman has helped me so much. Tonight's banquet is to celebrate his and Senior Corey's promotion to third-level wizard apprentices. Of course I have to go."

"I really envy you for getting an invitation." Donohan's eyes flashed with envy.

The banquet was jointly held with two wizard apprentices, Sheman and Corey, who had a good relationship with seniors. Considering the venue restrictions, only second-level wizard apprentices were invited.

Fleming had been promoted to second-level wizard apprentice in the fifth year of entering the academy, so he was naturally invited.

In the eyes of many students, this was proof that Fleming's talent was recognized by the seniors, and it was very envious of others.

Fleming was also slightly pleased in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He changed the subject and said, "I heard that Tatjana will also attend the banquet?"

"Of course, she is an alien student personally named by Lord Sunan to join the academy. Several instructors are very caring for her. The organizer of the banquet will definitely not miss her."

Mentioning this, Donohan's tone was a little jealous.

"Don't say that, Tatjana's talent is still very outstanding."

"It took her much longer to get started with meditation than you."

"That's because she is not human. If she were human, her talent would definitely be better than mine."

Fleming's words were sincere.

It is certain that the dark elves will get twice the result with half the effort when practicing the Star Ring Meditation Method created based on humans.

However, even so, it only took Tajiana two months to learn the Star Ring Meditation Method. This aptitude is really amazing.

If there were meditation methods and spell books specially created for dark elves in this world, her strength improvement speed might surpass seniors Sheman and Corey.

It can only be said that those who can be personally named by Lord Sunan to join the academy must have something extraordinary.

After chatting with Donohan for a while, Fleming sent him away and started his daily meditation in the dormitory.

When the meditation was over, it was already dark outside.

Fleming looked up at the quartz clock on the wall. There was still half an hour before the banquet started, so he got up and left the dormitory.

The seniors who hosted the banquet reserved the top floor of the second cafeteria.

When Fleming arrived at the top hall, there were already quite a few people inside.

The white-covered dining table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes and drinks. The beautiful water elves carried plates and walked back and forth between the tables, their movements graceful as if they were dancing.

Fleming admired it for a while, then reluctantly looked away, searching for the location of Senior Xie Man.

Soon, he found his target.

In fact, it was also very conspicuous.

In the center of the restaurant, Seniors Sherman and Senior Corey were surrounded by a group of people talking like stars.

"Xie Man, I heard that the college intends to invite you to be a tutor?"

"There is this intention, and Kore has also received the invitation."

"Then what are your plans?"

"Needless to say, of course I accepted it. The contribution points and exchangeable resources that the mentor can get are much more than those of the students, right, Sherman, Corey."

"That's what I plan to do," Sherman said with a smile.

"Same." Corey was as taciturn as ever.

Fleming sounded a little envious.

I wonder if he can be promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice at this age?

After a while, the students surrounding the two people gradually dispersed, and Fleming finally found the opportunity to step forward.

"Senior Sherman and Senior Corey, congratulations to both of you on your promotions."

"Long time no see, Junior Fleming, thank you for coming to the banquet." Sherman smiled gently.

Kore also nodded lightly towards Fleming.

He is a typical strength supremacist, and he doesn't want to pay attention to people without strength and talent, and Felai is obviously not in this category.

"Your honor, Senior Sister Atil." Fleming then looked at Atil who was standing aside.

It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. Senior Sister Atil is as beautiful as ever, and her gentle temperament has become more mellow over time.

"Long time no see, Junior Fleming." Artil smiled softly, "I met the scepter mentor not long ago. He praised your talent and you have now built the fifth star ring."

"It's Master Scepter who has given me the award." Fleming said modestly.

The group of people chatted and laughed. Just when the atmosphere was good, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the hall.

Fleming turned around and saw a tall and slender girl with jet-black skin and beautiful and delicate facial features walking in.

Her face was indifferent, and she had an aura that kept strangers away.

Even so, the moment he appeared, he attracted a lot of attention in the hall and suddenly became the center of attention.

The girl seemed to be used to this kind of scene, and she seemed to be oblivious to the sights around her. She looked around, and when she found Adil, the coldness on her face melted away, and a faint smile appeared.

"Tajana is here." Adil greeted her with a smile, and took the dark elf girl's arm affectionately.

The two women quickly started whispering to each other in low voices.

Fleming was a little surprised when he saw this: "Senior Atil and Tatjana seem to have a good relationship?"

Sherman said with a smile: "When Tatjana first entered the academy, Artil was instructed by the teacher to take good care of Tatjana, so the relationship between the two was not bad."

Fleming was stunned.

No wonder.

As far as he knew, when Tatjana first entered the academy, many people were interested in her identity as a dark elf and deliberately approached them, but Tatjana was not pretentious without exception.

Over time, Tatjana was given a cool reputation, and the number of wild bees and butterflies surrounding her suddenly decreased.

The dark elf girl didn't care, and continued to go her own way, focusing on training and learning, and barely paying attention to others.

If she hadn't come to the banquet tonight, Fleming wouldn't have known that she still had a good friend like Senior Atil.
