Chapter 236 The deceased founding emperor

"After being promoted to the second-level wizard, the restrictions of the Starlight Continent environment will be more obvious, right?"

After calming down, Lizhe talked about another topic.

"Indeed." Sunan sighed slightly.

After being promoted to the second-level wizard, Sunan found that the impact of energy shortage on the concentration of spirit was more serious than he had imagined.

Originally, he thought that he could at least break through to the second-level crystallization before the plane barrier was completely repaired.

But now it seems that unless the number of wizards in the Star Alliance increases dramatically in the future and there are more tool people to collect elemental crystal dust, it may be difficult.

In addition, there is the problem of environmental adaptability.

Even though he is in the wizard tower now, he feels a little uncomfortable.

Obviously, as the essence of life evolves, his soul and body have higher requirements for the concentration of energy particles.

If he continues to improve like this, when he becomes a true spirit wizard, I am afraid that even if the concentration of energy particles in the Starlight Continent returns to normal, he will feel unable to adapt.

Perhaps this is why true spirit wizards are keen on building floating cities and demiplanes.

They need an environment with a higher concentration of energy particles!

After chatting for a while, Sunan got down to business.

"Do you have the craft knowledge of the alchemical body?"

"Do you want to engrave the alchemical seal?"

Li Ze looked at Sunan in surprise, and then nodded in understanding.

"You are now a second-level wizard. Your mental power must meet the standards of the alchemical body. It is not difficult for you to strengthen your physique. You can try to transform the alchemical body."

"But the problem is that most of the materials needed to transform the alchemical body are very precious. I am afraid that they cannot be found in the Starlight Continent now."

Sunan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Give me the craft knowledge and I will solve the material problem myself."

If the transformation of the alchemical body can also be synthesized with the magic cube, then the materials are not a problem.

At most, just like engraving gems and talent crystal models, first make a low-level copycat version with weak effects, and then synthesize a high-level version with the same effect as the original.

If it cannot be synthesized, then we can only study substitutes.

Seeing that Sunan said so, Li Ze did not persuade him any more.

Past experience told her not to question any of Sunan's words.

Problems that seem difficult to solve in his own eyes can often be easily solved in Sunan's hands.

If you raise doubts at this time, you may be slapped in the face in the future.

"There is a lot of knowledge about the alchemical body and alchemical engraving. I will give it to you after I copy it down."

At this point, Li Ze suddenly remembered something.

"I almost forgot to tell you that there is news from the royal family. When you come out of seclusion, I hope you can go to the palace to see His Majesty Key."

Sunan was stunned and frowned when he heard it.

If Key wanted to see him, he could come directly or send a message. Why did he send a message in the name of the royal family?

He looked at Li Ze, who understood what he meant and said solemnly: "Two months ago, His Majesty Key fell seriously ill and is still bedridden."

Time is the most ruthless and terrible weapon.

As powerful as the True Spirit Wizard, he cannot resist the passage of time and will eventually usher in the end of his life.

What's more, a small bloodline knight.

As a blood knight with sub-dragon blood, Keyi also inherited some of the dragon race's long life characteristics.

In addition, as the lord of the empire, he has taken countless treasures that extend his life, including the extremely precious resource of dawn potion.

Therefore, his life span is longer than many third-level wizard apprentices.

But even so, after entering the age of 200, the health of the emperor of the empire inevitably went downhill.

In the following years, Keyi's health deteriorated and he was plagued by diseases.

Two months ago, he suddenly fell seriously ill and never got up.

Thanks to this, the Star Empire was in a panic.

Fortunately, there was the Star Alliance on top, and the first prince Abbott, who had been appointed as the heir by His Majesty the Emperor, took over the burden of superintendent, so there was no need to worry about some unspeakable things happening.

When they learned that Sunan had entered the palace, all the royal family members who felt they had weight, including Prince Abbott and Hailin, gathered in the emperor's bedroom to wait.

Except for a few core members of the royal family such as Prince Abbott who stayed in the bedroom, the rest of the people were waiting in the courtyard.

However, just when these people were looking forward to it, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to meet and get acquainted with the big man who controlled the highest power in the Starlight Continent behind the scenes and was more noble than His Majesty the Emperor, the person in question had already appeared in the bedroom silently.

As a second-level wizard apprentice, Hailin noticed the abnormality at the first time. He turned his head and found that there was a figure beside him.

He was startled at first and subconsciously wanted to take action, but soon he saw the other person's face clearly, and hurriedly stopped his action and bowed respectfully.

"Uncle!"

The others turned around when they heard the voice and saw that it was Su Nan. They were surprised and hurried forward to salute.

Su Nan waved his hand lightly to stop the noise of the crowd, took a step forward, and his figure flashed and came to the bed.

On the large and luxurious bed, Keyi lay motionless with his eyes closed, his face showing a visible sickness.

Compared with the last time they met, Keyi looked older and more haggard.

In fact, Sunan and Keyi met less and less in recent years.

Both sides were rulers who were entangled in affairs.

Especially in the past twenty years, Sunan was busy sprinting to become a second-level wizard, and he and Key only met once every few years.

At this time, looking at Key, who was lying on the bed with white hair, wrinkles on his face, and showing his old appearance, Sunan couldn't help but look a little dazed.

The scene where the two brothers worked together to lead Blackstone City to fight against Baron Owen seemed to have happened yesterday.

Time really passed too fast.

Everyone around him stood silently without saying a word, fearing that the sound would disturb Sunan.

Just looking at Sunan, who looked the same as a young man in his twenties for decades, and then looking at the old emperor on the bed, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

It's hard to imagine that the two are only three years apart!

Is this the power of a wizard?

"Cough cough cough"

A cough suddenly broke the silence in the bedroom.

Key woke up, opened his eyes, and saw Sunan standing by the bed at first sight, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sunan, you... cough, when did you come?"

"Just arrived not long ago."

Sunan took a step forward, helped Key to sit up, and injected the most healing plant energy particles into his body.

With the injection of plant energy particles, Key's face suddenly became ruddy and he stopped coughing.

But Sunan knew very well that this was only a temporary solution.

Key was not injured, but his life was coming to an end. Even if he was a second-level wizard, he could not help a person whose life was about to end to defeat death.

Unless the other party was a wizard (apprentice), there might be a little possibility.

"You go down."

Key's eyes swept across the crowd in the palace and waved his hand.

Even if they were at the end of their lives, no one dared to disobey the emperor. Everyone did as he was told and bowed and left.

Soon, the palace became deserted, with only Sunan and Key left.

"I can feel that my life is coming to an end." Key sighed and said.

Sunan looked at him steadily, without any consolation, he knew Key didn't need it.

Sure enough, Key then grinned and said, "When my father was dying, he asked us brothers to revive the Yanest family. We did it, and we did it very well. Now the entire Starlight Continent belongs to our family!"

"The Yanest family is now the undisputed first family, and its glory spreads throughout the world."

Key's face showed a proud look, and then he looked at Sunan with a sharp gaze.

"But I know very well that this is all your credit. If it weren't for you, with my ability, I would have died in Black Stone City long ago, let alone revitalizing the family."

Sunan said calmly: "I am also a member of the Yanest family."

Key smiled and shook his head and said: "The long life of wizards is destined to have a weak concept of family. Unless it is a wizard family like the Russell family, otherwise after I leave, the descendants of the royal family will only become more and more distant from you."

"Of course, I'm not complaining to you. This situation is inevitable anyway. Even two brothers from civilian families are like this, let alone wizards."

"I just want to ask you for one thing. I hope you can take care of the royal family more in the future and let the royal family have more wizard apprentices."

After unifying the continent, Key's only remaining wish is to train more wizard apprentices in the royal family so that the Yanest family can continue to be strong and prosperous.

Sunan also knew this. Looking at his eldest brother's pleading eyes, he nodded solemnly.

"I promise you that the Yanest family will always be the imperial family in the future, and will also become a powerful wizard family."

After receiving Sunan's promise, Key's wrinkled face showed a relieved smile.

"This way I have no regrets."

"I have lived for two hundred years, longer than many wizard apprentices, and I have given birth to a lot of children and grandchildren, and have expanded the Yanest family. I have nothing to be dissatisfied with."

As if he was relieved, fatigue swept over again, and Key's eyelids began to heavy.

"I'm a little sleepy, I'll sleep for another night."

"Yeah."

Sunan helped Key lie down again and watched him slowly close his eyes.

Under his mental perception, the breath of life in Key's body was like a flame that was burning out, slowly weakening until it disappeared completely.

After standing quietly in front of the bed for a while, Sunan turned and left the bedroom.

In the courtyard, everyone waited quietly with different expressions.

Until they saw Sunan push the door and come out, there was a faint commotion, but it soon calmed down.

"Great uncle."

Hai Lin came up to him immediately, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Sunan glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, everyone's faces turned pale, and they didn't understand what had happened.

When they came to their senses again, Sunan had disappeared.

Everyone could no longer hold back and rushed into the palace.

Soon, there were cries coming from inside.

In the 1422nd year of the Starlight Calendar, the month of Autumn Curtain (October).

The founding emperor of the Star Empire, Key Yanest, passed away, and the whole country mourned.

In the month of Frost Descent (November) of the same year, the first snow fell, kicking off the most grand funeral of an emperor in the history of the Starlight Continent.

The funeral ceremony lasted for two whole months, including the funeral, the parade and the burial.

The funeral was not over until the new year arrived.

In the 1423rd year of the Starlight Calendar, the month of Winter Qin (January).

The eldest prince, Abbott Arnest, ascended the throne and became the second emperor of the Starry Empire.

In the same month, the most grand coronation ceremony in the history of Starlight Continent was also held in the capital Flash City.

Participants included tens of thousands of nobles and thousands of wizard apprentices.

These were carefully selected people who were qualified to attend the celebration, otherwise the scale of participants would be even larger.

The celebration was held in the palace square.

In the seat where the wizard apprentices sat, Sheman looked at the new emperor wearing a crown, wearing gorgeous clothes, and sitting on a throne made of gold and inlaid with gems, and a trace of emotion flashed across his face.

Atil, who was sitting next to him, noticed Sheman's expression and said softly: "What's wrong, you look very emotional?"

"Nothing." Sheman shook his head, "It's just that I feel more and more that life is too short. If we fail to break through the last level, we will soon usher in the end of our lives."

"Then it would be great if we break through." Corey said without thinking.

As key figures representing Sunan to attend the celebration, the three were arranged in the front position and sat together.

After listening to Corey's words, Sheman smiled and said nothing.

He is now constructing a talent crystal model, and has reached the stage of filling mental power.

But even so, he dare not guarantee that he can definitely cross this last step and be promoted to a formal wizard.

Most third-level wizard apprentices can feel something in their hearts during the last period of their lives.

He has also felt that he has at most more than ten years left in his life, not more than twenty years.

If he cannot complete the last step before then, what awaits him is to turn into a piece of yellow earth.

Even if his mind can be called tough, Xie Man will occasionally feel panic about it.

In this case, he is very envious of Cole's unwavering determination.

With his thoughts flying, Xie Man quickly cheered up and said with a smile: "After this celebration, I will go back and start retreating. I will never come out until I break through the last step."

"Me too." Cole's eyes flashed with light, "Whether I can break through depends on the last period of time."

"Is your contribution value enough to exchange for the right to use the training room for more than ten or twenty years?"

"More than enough."

Looking at Xie Man and Cole talking, Atil's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion.

Xieman and Corey at least have hope of a breakthrough, but she has no hope at all.

Ever since she became the teacher's disciple, her cultivation progress has always lagged behind Xieman and Corey.

Even now, Xieman and Corey are already busy filling their spiritual power, while she has just begun to construct the talent crystal model.

In this case, it is very unlikely to be promoted to a wizard.

Even Master Xingyun said that it is almost impossible for her to be promoted to a wizard through normal means.

Atil is unwilling to give up, but she doesn't know what path she should take in the future. (End of this chapter)
