Chapter 221: Wizards in Books
Su Nan had made at least tens of thousands of puppets by himself.
He was already familiar with the life breath of the puppets, which was very different from the flesh and blood of living people.
The moment the monster appeared, he had already sensed the breath of the other party that belonged to the puppet.
"A puppet that can change its shape? It's quite rare."
A trace of curiosity flashed in Su Nan's eyes.
Just as he was observing the squid puppet, the other party suddenly made a move, raised a tentacle covered with barbs high, circled slightly in the air, and then shot straight towards him, bringing a strong sound of breaking through the air.
Su Nan stood still, watching the tentacles break through the air with a calm face.
However, when it approached within five meters of Su Nan, the tentacles seemed to be trapped in an invisible quagmire, and the speed suddenly slowed down. It could only move forward inch by inch, and finally stopped completely half a meter away from Su Nan's body.
If you observe carefully, you can also find that the tentacles are trembling slightly, as if they are under invisible pressure.
"The attack power is good, not inferior to the three-ring spell."
Su Nan raised his eyebrows and commented lightly.
Chi Chi!
More air-breaking sounds suddenly burst out.
After the first attack failed, the squid puppet directly launched its full strength, and dozens of tentacles flew and entangled, whipping Su Nan like a storm.
However, the same situation happened again.
After these tentacles approached Su Nan within a range of five meters, their speed was visibly slowed down, and the closer the distance, the slower the speed, until it completely stopped.
For a while, dozens of tentacles surrounded Su Nan tightly, but could not hurt him at all.
"Meow, Su Nan is so powerful!" Amy shouted excitedly, looking at Su Nan with admiration.
Su Nan smiled and patted the little guy's head, but his eyes never left the squid puppet.
This puppet undoubtedly has the combat power level of a formal wizard. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the final battle sequence of Falling Star City, and it may not be so easy to solve.
As if to confirm his idea, the surface of the surrounding tentacles suddenly lit up with various magic lights, lightning and flames swirled around the tentacles, ice and strong acid sprayed out from the tentacles, and all the tips of the barbs glowed with a faint blue luster!
At this moment, all the tentacles were attached with various magic effects!
Chi chi chi!
The dense tentacles attacked again, and the power surged a lot in an instant, so that the protective force field of the [Forbidden Zone] could not support it, and the energy was consumed rapidly.
"This combat power is much stronger than the secret puppet."
Sunan was amazed.
If it had not broken through to the first level of liquefaction, he would have to spend a lot of effort to deal with this squid puppet.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Sunan also began to fight back, raising his hand, and his five fingers suddenly clenched together. A deep and deep light suddenly bloomed from his fingers, quickly forming a pitch-black spear.
The next moment, he suddenly threw out the spear, which turned into a black stream of light and instantly hit the squid puppet!
Time seemed to have stopped for a moment.
The surface of the squid puppet suddenly flashed with colorful magic lights, and in a moment, it was blessed with as many as two-digit protective spells. Layers of protection wrapped around the whole body, as if it was wearing the strongest armor.
But these seemingly solid protections, when they came into contact with the black light, quickly melted and annihilated like a candle encountering fire.
The black light broke through the layers of protection without hindrance, penetrated into the body of the squid puppet, and then suddenly exploded!
Crackling!
Countless dark electric lights burst out from the squid puppet's body, and the latter seemed to turn into a dazzling thunder ball in an instant, illuminating the originally dim hall as if it were daytime!
It took a long time before the lightning slowly dissipated.
The squid puppet had already been lying on the ground, with dozens of tentacles limp around it, as if it had lost its combat effectiveness.
Only the body twitched from time to time, indicating that the puppet was not completely damaged.
"It's quite tenacious."
Su Nan praised.
After breaking through the first level of liquefaction and his mental power skyrocketed, [Black Thunder] was further synthesized and upgraded by him, and its power was at least 50% to 60% stronger than before.
It can be said that even the secret puppet girl can't withstand a blow from [Black Thunder].
The squid puppet took a direct blow from [Black Thunder], but was only seriously injured but not destroyed. This "physique" is really strong.
Su Nan hesitated for a while and decided to keep the squid puppet and take it back for research. Maybe he could get some inspiration from it and improve a more powerful puppet.
Release the two secret puppet girls and let them watch the squid puppet. Su Nan then walked deep into the hall.
This is the top floor of the tower and the core of the Falling Star City.
There is also a powerful fighting force like the squid puppet guarding it.
If nothing unexpected happens, the two stone pillars should be placed with the most valuable things in the Falling Star City.
Until Su Nan came to the stone pillar, there was no obstruction.
Apparently, just as he guessed, the squid puppets were indeed the final battle sequence of Falling Star City.
The halo surrounding the stone pillar was a protective magic circle, and it didn't take much effort for Sunan to crush it, and the things on the stone pillar also revealed their true appearance.
It was a book and a crystal clear sphere.
The volume of the book was two or three times that of an ordinary book, and the light green cover flashed with a cold metallic luster, with a jade-white gardenia painted on it, and the workmanship was quite fine.
Sunan could feel the strong energy particles contained in the book, and it was obviously a magical item.
The other sphere was about the size of a fist, shining brightly, and dotted with countless stars inside, as beautiful as the starry sky.
But if you look carefully, you can find that those stars are actually enchanted runes that have been reduced countless times.
What surprised Sunan was that he could faintly feel that the energy contained in this sphere was flowing into the empty void in a way that he could not understand, and it seemed to be connected to the entire tower.
A glimmer of enlightenment rose in his heart.
This sphere may be the energy source of this tower, or the entire Falling Star City!
Although he was very curious about the sphere, Sunan wanted to take a look at the contents of another book at this moment.
Thinking of this, he reached out to the book, but the next second a low sigh suddenly sounded in his ear.
The sound came from the book.
"The book is talking!" Amy was startled.
Crash!
The book suddenly opened, and one of the pages suddenly emitted countless rays of light, intertwined and floated to the side of the stone pillar, forming a somewhat illusory figure.
It was a woman who looked to be about twenty years old, wearing a gray wizard robe, with long silver hair like a waterfall, and purple eyes with bright and shining light, like starlight, tall and slender.
Her lips were very thin, her chin was slightly pointed, the corners of her eyes were raised, her facial features were angular, her appearance was a bit cold, and she had a cold temperament.
"Nice to meet you, the controller of the Star Alliance."
The gray-robed woman spoke slowly, her voice was cold and magnetic.
"Do you know me?" Su Nan raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know her." The gray-robed woman's lips curled up slightly, and her cold features were matched with a gentle smile, which made her look particularly charming. "But I saw the fleet and the Siren Sea Siren searching outside. Only the controller of the Star Alliance can mobilize both of them at the same time."
Su Nan's expression moved, and he immediately reacted: "Are you the 'Sea Goddess' who deceived the Siren Sea Siren?"
The gray-robed woman's expression remained unchanged: "It's not a deception. The Siren Sea Siren helped me collect the Heart of the Sea, and I taught them knowledge and helped them grow their tribe. It's a fair deal, isn't it? The reason why I use the name of the Sea Goddess is just to facilitate communication between the two parties."
Su Nan said with no denying: "Then why do you take the initiative to show up now? Want to seek revenge on me?"
"You misunderstood." The gray-robed woman shook her head, "I don't have this idea, and I'm not your opponent. As for the Touching Master Puppet."
She glanced at the squid puppet lying on the ground and twitching, "This is the defense program that is automatically activated after the Falling Star City detects the invasion of outsiders. I can't control it."
Touching Master Puppet?
Sunan remembered a creature that looked like an octopus, called the Golden Tensor.
No wonder the squid puppet looked familiar just now. It turned out that the prototype of this puppet was the Golden Tensor.
That is a famous divine creature!
"The reason why I took the initiative to show up is because I have no other choice."
The gray-robed woman looked at the book on the stone pillar with a complicated expression.
"I believe you can see my current state. This book is my host. Once the book is damaged, I will also be reduced to ashes. At this time, there is no need for me to hide anymore."
Sunan had indeed seen that the gray-robed woman was now in a ghost state.
Generally speaking, ghosts can't exist in the material world for long.
Unless they turn into resentful souls, and then attack humans everywhere, devour souls and flesh, and evolve into evil spirits with earthbound attributes, they can survive in the material world for a long time.
Just like the evil spirit he met in the Kubero mansion.
But there are special cases.
Very few people will merge their souls into an object after death, becoming ghosts residing on the object, thus maintaining the soul from dissipating.
But it is not easy to do this.
In addition to the extremely powerful soul energy that the deceased must have had during his lifetime, he must also find a container suitable for accommodating the soul, plus enough luck.
All three are indispensable!
If any one is missing, the fusion will fail, causing the soul to be destroyed.
And the gray-robed woman in front of him is obviously one of the few lucky ones.
Su Nan was a little surprised by the gray-robed woman's honesty.
But on second thought, even if the gray-robed woman didn't say it, he would soon find out about it. Instead of being exposed, it is better to take the initiative to be honest and give a good impression.
Su Nan stretched out his hand and waved, and the book on the stone pillar floated up and fell into his palm.
As the host body that was vital to her life fell into the hands of others, the gray-robed woman instinctively tensed her body, but soon restrained herself and bit her lips lightly.
Su Nan seemed not to see it and opened the book.
What caught my eyes were densely packed spell models, one on each page, from zero ring to three rings, and there were no less than a hundred spells.
A book of spells!
Sunan immediately made a judgment in his mind.
Similar to the magic wand, the codex was also a magic item with spell models engraved on it, which could release spells after being activated.
But compared with the former, the codex could engrave more spells.
However, the general codex could only store 20 to 30 spells at most, and most of them were one or two rings, unlike this codex, which had hundreds of spells and many three-ring spells.
Even if this power was not as powerful as a magic weapon, it was definitely the top among the glimmer-level magic items.
Sunan closed the book and had the answer in his mind.
"You rely on this code to control storms and waves to help the Siren defeat the enemy?"
"Yes."
There is nothing to hide now, the gray-robed woman admitted frankly.
"Before I became like this, I was a wizard."
Sunan was not surprised to hear this, but showed a hint of as expected.
Being able to integrate the soul into the code after death and use the code in ghost form is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Only wizards can do this.
Wait!
Sunan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "What's your name?"
"Lize Russell." The gray-robed woman said.
As expected!
Sunan's eyes condensed and he looked at her deeply.
"So you are the ancestor of the Russell family."
The Russell family is the guardian of the Falling Star City. There was a wizard in history, and the gray-robed woman appeared in the Falling Star City. She was also a wizard when she was alive. If there is no connection, he doesn't believe it.
As expected, it turned out to be true.
"Do you know me?" A hint of surprise flashed in Liz's purple eyes.
"No, I just heard someone in your family mention you." Sunan smiled, "The Russell family is now also a member of the Star Alliance."
Liz was stunned for a moment, then nodded in relief.
"That's right, you are a formal wizard, it's normal for the Russell family to join you."
"To be honest, I didn't expect that the current Starlight Continent could still produce formal wizards."
Liz looked at Sunan with both amazement and admiration.
She was also a witness to the era of elemental depletion, and she knew that in the case of energy scarcity, if you want to be promoted to a wizard, you must have outstanding talents and make great efforts to have a glimmer of hope to succeed.
The person in front of her must have made efforts beyond the imagination of ordinary people and experienced many hardships to achieve the current achievements.
So after discovering that the other party was a wizard, she showed up as soon as possible.
In the current Starlight Continent, only this person could help her achieve her goal.
"I'm more curious about why you have become what you are now, and what's going on with the Falling Star City?" Su Nan got to the point.
Li Ze was silent for a moment, and instead of answering, she asked: "Do you know the origin of the Falling Star City?"
"The inheritance left by wizards a thousand years ago?"
"Yes, but no." Li Ze nodded and shook her head, "Have you heard of the Falling Star Society?"
"The Falling Star Society? Didn't it die?" Su Nan glanced at Li Ze, "You are a member of the Falling Star Society."
Li Ze's expression froze, and she was really surprised this time.
The Falling Star Society was a wizard force a thousand years ago, and Su Nan should not have heard of it.
She just asked casually, and she was ready to explain in her heart. Who would have thought that Su Nan actually knew about the Falling Star Society.
He even knew that the Falling Star Society had died!
What is the origin of this person? (End of this chapter)
