Chapter 227 Death and Sprint

The first magic stone essence mother almost exhausted the Star Alliance's secondary magic stone inventory.

If you want to synthesize more magic stone essence mothers in the future, you can only wait for new secondary magic stones to be produced.

Considering that secondary magic stones are also used in other aspects, only a part of the output can be intercepted.

For this reason, Li Ze raised the purchase price of secondary magic stones in the short term, increasing production to alleviate the recent shortage of secondary magic stones.

When Sunan produces enough magic stone essence mothers, there is no need for additional secondary magic stones, and the purchase price can return to normal.

Throwing the cultivation of secondary magic stone veins to Li Ze, Sunan continued to devote his energy to training and building wizard towers.

Up to now, the space planning of the wizard tower has been completed.

In terms of energy supply, only the floating ring has not been completed.

In terms of combat equipment, there are a lot of gaps.

The protective energy field of the maze lock has been completed, but it is only a small one, and it will continue to be synthesized in the future.

Originally, Sunan only planned to synthesize a medium-sized maze lock protective energy field. After all, he was worried that the energy of the element pool would not be enough to support the consumption of a large one.

But since we are going to synthesize a large element pool, the protective energy field of the maze lock can also be upgraded to a large level at the same time.

The same is true for the Spell Turret Type II, which can be increased to 200.

The dissociation cannon has not yet been manufactured, and it will also be synthesized and upgraded in the future.

The last is the golem army.

Sunan plans to place a small golem army in the wizard tower.

Of course, it is a luxurious version of the small golem army.

Including 5,000 adamantine golems, 20 touch master puppets and five secret puppets.

Not to mention the touch master puppets and secret puppets, the engineering volume of 5,000 adamantine golems is not small.

After all, only Sunan in the entire Star Alliance has the ability to refine this three-ring legendary enchanted upgraded version of adamantine golems.

For those instructors in the academy, refining ordinary adamantine golems is enough.

"In another 50 or 60 years, the wizard tower should be completed."

Just when Sunan was immersed in practicing and building the wizard tower, he suddenly received a message.

A third-level wizard apprentice named Basque from the Russell family has passed away.

Northwest of the continent, Xinghui City.

This is the autonomous city of the Russell family, a neutral area independent of many countries.

But that was in the past. Now Xinghui City has long become one of the many territories of the Star Alliance.

In the Russell family cemetery.

The cemetery that was empty in the past, but today, many people have gathered.

Fakado, Innocent, Tulio, Scepter, Rose, Traveler, Sherman, Corey. At a glance, all the instructors of the Starlight Academy are here.

Everyone gathered in the cemetery to pay tribute to their deceased colleagues.

"Basque actually expected this day to come."

There was no sadness or sorrow on Fakado's face, only sighing.

"He knew that his qualifications were not outstanding, and being promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice was already his limit. He would never be able to break through and become a wizard in his lifetime, so he knew his fate long ago, and he died peacefully."

The Scepter sighed and said, "No hope. It may not be a bad thing."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the third-level wizard apprentices around him became complicated.

It is because they still have a glimmer of hope for themselves that they will desperately seek breakthroughs, and they will be broken and bloody for this, and perhaps they will be completely desperate until the last moment of their lives.

In contrast, not having any hope from the beginning may be happier.

After the memorial service, everyone left one after another.

The Scepter came to Fakado and said, "I have submitted an application to Lord Xingyun. Starting tomorrow, I will temporarily resign as the instructor of the academy."

The Lord Xingyun mentioned by the Scepter refers to the newly appointed acting controller.

The name and origin are unknown, and she has never met anyone.

The only thing we know is that she is deeply trusted by Lord Sunan and her code name is Xingyun.

Fakado was stunned and asked, "Why?"

The scepter smiled bitterly and sighed, saying, "I can sense that I don't have much time left. At most, I can only have another ten or twenty years. If I don't break through, I will end up in the cemetery."

In fact, if it weren't for the Dawn Potion and the Element Pool to extend his life, he would have died.

Fortunately, he has successfully constructed a talent crystal model and started to fill his mental power.

If he is lucky, it is possible to break through and become a wizard.

So in the next period of time, he plans to retreat and sprint to become a wizard. If he fails, he will die.

The contribution points earned in these years are enough to exchange for a training room near the element pool in Lord Sunan's wizard tower for twenty years of use.

"Me too." Rose came over with a serious look on her face, "I'm going to retreat next."

"It seems that everyone thinks the same thing." The traveler smiled slightly, "I'm also going to retreat and sprint. It's all thanks to Lord Sunan for making the construction potion, which saved me time to construct the talent crystal, otherwise I wouldn't even be qualified to sprint to become a wizard."

Looking at the three people with a firm look and a hint of determination, Fakado felt very complicated.

He knew very well how difficult it was to become a wizard.

Over the past thousand years, countless geniuses have fallen at this level.

The number of third-level wizard apprentices who died with regret and unwillingness in the Russell family over the years is too many to count.

If he had not joined the Star Alliance and obtained many resources that he had never thought of before, he estimated that he would eventually follow the footsteps of his family ancestors.

Now he finally has a glimmer of hope to be promoted to a wizard.

But it is only a glimmer.

Fakado knows very well that among the three people in front of him, only one may be successfully promoted to a wizard, or even all three may fail, and the final outcome is nothing more than a piece of yellow earth.

Just as he was secretly sighing, Fakado suddenly saw the faces of the three people of the Scepter showing surprise. Following the gazes of the three people, he found that Sunan had appeared in the cemetery at some point.

"Lord Sunan." Fakado bowed slightly.

The Scepter and others also saluted.

Sunan waved his hand, glanced at the tombstone, and said, "My condolences."

Fakado shook his head: "Thank you, sir, Basque passed away peacefully."

Sunan nodded and said nothing more, turning to look at the three people of Rose.

"I heard from Xingyun that you are planning to retreat and sprint?"

"Yes, sir."

Sunan smiled slightly and said, "You are lucky and caught up with the right time."

He is planning to continue to strengthen the element pool and improve the efficiency of filling mental power recently. The three of Qiangwei are just in time. With the help of the large element pool, the hope of being promoted to a wizard will increase a lot.

Even in the heyday of wizards, not many third-level wizard apprentices can enjoy the treatment of the large element pool buff.

After hearing what Sunan said, the three of them looked at each other in surprise.

Until they heard Sunan talk about the large element pool, the three of them showed an extremely surprised expression.

The surrounding wizards looked at the three of them with a hint of envy.

But then they thought that as long as they accumulated enough contribution points, they could enjoy the same treatment when they sprinted to wizards in the future, and they were immediately delighted.

"I wish you a smooth breakthrough." Sunan said.

If one or two more wizards can be produced, it will also be a good thing for the Star Alliance.

On the one hand, the faculty of the academy has been improved. On the other hand, he no longer has to take on many tasks by himself, and can hand them over to others.

For example, refining the enchanted and enhanced adamantium golem, making fourth-level potions, and going to the elemental plane to collect elemental crystal dust, etc., can all be shared by other wizards.

He can also spare more energy to practice and build wizard towers.

A qualified wizard force, in addition to having a large number of wizard apprentices as the cornerstone, also needs a large number of formal wizards as the backbone.

After a few words of encouragement, Sunan then looked at Sheman, Corey and Atil who were waiting on the side.

The three of them came to Basque's memorial service today.

Speaking of which, these three were the first batch of students he accepted, and they were also the ones closest to real students.

The wizard apprentices recruited after the three were more like students of the academy than students.

Therefore, Sunan still had a different feeling for Sheman and the other two. He would give them more special care and occasionally guide them on weekdays.

Looking at the three mature faces, Sunan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When they first came to the base, the three were only twelve or thirteen years old, but now they are nearly a hundred years old. However, because of their special physique, they look no different from young people in their twenties.

"I heard that you are studying biological transformation recently?" Sunan looked at Corey, "Are you preparing for semi-elementalization or blood fusion in the future?"

Among all the materials produced by the Star Alliance, the application scope of biological transformation is the narrowest.

If it is to earn contribution points, it is best to choose the other three fields.

Corey's specialization in biological transformation can only be to prepare for life extension in the future.

"There is this reason, teacher." Corey admitted frankly, "But I am also very interested in biological transformation."

Sunan nodded and took out a few books from the space ring for him.

"These are books on biological transformation, which should be useful to you."

These books were copied by Liz, and they are the knowledge mastered by the Star Meteorite Club.

The Star Meteorite Club is good at refining war creations, and naturally it is also involved in the field of biological transformation.

For example, if there is no in-depth dissection and research on the golden touch master, it cannot be made at all.

The books given by Lizhe have improved the weakness of Xingguang Academy in biological transformation knowledge.

"Thank you, teacher!" Corey was overjoyed.

Sunan then looked at Sheman and Atil and said, "Xingyun is interested in recruiting assistants recently. She should recruit at Xingguang Academy later. You two can try it. If you can become Xingyun's assistant, it will be good for you. She is also a wizard."

Forget about Corey, who has a lonely and eccentric personality, but Sheman and Atil are both thoughtful and suitable to be assistants.

And being able to become a wizard's assistant is also a great opportunity for a third-level wizard apprentice.

Hearing this, Sheman and the other two were shocked. They didn't expect that the mysterious Xingyun was also a wizard like the teacher!

After coming back to their senses, Sheman and Atil were immediately moved.

Working closely with a wizard is indeed very attractive.

Apart from anything else, even if the wizard occasionally guides them, it is enough for them to benefit a lot.

Not to mention the benefits and influence that the position of assistant to the acting controller can bring.

The two looked at each other and immediately made up their minds to give it a try.

Cole knew his own business and knew that he was not suitable to be an assistant, so he decisively gave up the unrealistic idea.

When it comes to cultivation efficiency, the synthesis and strengthening of the element pool naturally comes first.

However, due to the high cost of the element pool, the cost of a small element pool exceeds 10 million gold coins. Even if the income of the Star Alliance is gradually increasing every year, there are too many expenses in other aspects, and it is impossible to produce multiple small element pools in a short time.

After repeated consideration, Sunan decided to synthesize and strengthen a small element pool every two years until a large element pool is synthesized.

In this case, every two years, the speed of his mental power replenishment can also be improved.

Time flies, and more than three years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Li Ze's work efficiency is very fast. The first secondary magic stone vein was successfully opened up in the southeast region, less than 500 kilometers away from the Flash City.

According to Li Ze's estimate, this small secondary magic stone vein will be able to be cultivated and formed in about 180 years, and it can be mined at that time. The estimated reserve is at least 200 million secondary magic stones.

This is still due to the lack of energy in the Starlight Continent, otherwise the formation time can be shortened a lot.

The second magic stone essence mother has also been synthesized, and the second medium-sized secondary magic stone vein has been opened up.

After that, more large and medium-sized secondary magic stone veins will be opened up one after another to ensure that after 180 years, the Star Alliance will be able to obtain a new vein every once in a while, so that the production of secondary magic stones will increase significantly.

"One hundred and eighty years is a bit long, but if it can be exchanged for the full promotion of secondary magic technology, it is worth it."

Su Nan put down the documents and smiled at Li Ze who was sitting behind the desk.

Another thing he didn't say was that when the production of secondary magic stones increases, more magic stones can be produced, so as to popularize magic technology on a small scale.

Magic technology must wait until the barrier of the Starlight Continent is restored and a large amount of magic stones can be imported from the outside world before it can be fully developed.

However, it is not possible to fully develop at this stage, but it is feasible to promote it on a small scale.

"How is the implementation of the teleportation network construction plan going?"

"Wizard apprentices are required to set up the teleportation array, but the academy can only mobilize a few people, plus there are material issues, so the progress is not particularly fast. Currently, only the southeast region and the Rainbow Sea with a small number of city-states have built a complete teleportation network. The northwest region has just started, and as for the underground world, it has to lag behind."

Su Nan nodded in understanding and said, "There is no rush for this. Once the number of apprentices in the academy increases, the progress will naturally speed up."

"I know."

Lize pointed to the documents on the desk.

"One more thing, once the transmission network is fully built, the next step is to consider how to reduce the cost of use."

"I have issued a task to improve the transmission array in the academy. When the transmission network is built, the improvement should also have results."

Su Nan smiled and said, "Lize, I now feel more and more that asking you to be my assistant was the wisest decision I made at the beginning. You can always arrange things perfectly."

Lize glared at him slightly and said unhappily, "That's because I have a boss who doesn't care about anything."

"The more capable you are, the more work you will do."

"Hehe, why do I feel like you are exploiting me like a coolie."

"How could that be? You are a rare wizard ghost and a valuable talent."

"Don't make me sound like some rare animal."

Carolina and Red Widow, who had just arrived at the door of the study to report, looked at the scene of the two bickering and looked at each other in surprise. (End of this chapter)
