Chapter 237 A tacit understanding

Starlight Wizard Tower, workshop.

Sunan put the newly made [Black Thunder] into the magic cube, and as the synthesis interface flashed, a brand new second-level magic weapon came out.

"The third one."

Sunan took out the Black Thunder and put it into the space ring, looking at the three black spearheads engraved with runes inside, a smile appeared on his face.

Including the three [Forbidden Zone], he now has a total of six second-level magic weapons.

Ordinary second-level wizards can hardly get even one second-level magic weapon, and it is rare for him to have six at the same time.

The descendants of the true spirits are not so extravagant!

However, the three Black Thunders have consumed all the thunder stones he has collected recently. If he wants to make more, he has to enter the thunder element plane again.

However, Sunan does not intend to do this. Three Black Thunders are enough for the time being.

Turning to the table in the corner, Sunan's eyes swept over the full materials on the table.

In addition to synthesizing magic weapons, he has also been studying the matter of alchemy body.

The process knowledge that Li Ze provided was very detailed. In addition to how to transform the alchemical body and the required materials, it also included eight kinds of alchemical marks, some of which made Sunan very jealous.

For example, the [Spiritual Storage Capacity] can accumulate a large amount of mental power in advance and instantly replenish the mental power consumption during the war.

According to the description in the information, the [Spiritual Storage Capacity] can hold up to the total mental power of a second-level gasification wizard.

When fighting with opponents of the same level, a wizard with the [Spiritual Storage Capacity] mark is almost equivalent to having twice the mental power of the opponent, and the advantage is self-evident.

Another example is the [Talent Specialization] that can greatly enhance the effect of talent ability.

After being activated, it can temporarily enhance the effect of talent ability, and the increase depends on the user's own level.

For a second-level wizard, the enhancement range is generally between 30% and 50%.

This is undoubtedly a very amazing increase.

Take Sunan himself as an example. With two super talents, he is enough to fight a second-level crystal wizard without using magic tools and engraved gems.

If you have this [Talent Specialization] imprint, you can easily suppress the second-level crystal wizard.

In addition to the magic weapon and the imprinted gem, as long as you are not facing a third-level wizard, you don’t have to worry about encountering an opponent!

After browsing the information given by Li Ze, Sunan almost immediately made a decision that the two alchemical imprints [Spirit Storage] and [Talent Specialization] must be engraved.

But the problem that follows is that transforming the alchemical body is not as easy as imagined.

The transformation process of the alchemical body is actually to transform the body with various rare materials, so that the body has the same magic plasticity as a scroll, and various enchantment properties can be added to the body.

This is a long process.

In order not to cause damage to the body, the transformation process must be subtle and gradual, at least 20 to 30 years, and at most 40 to 50 years.

If it were just like this, Sunan would not think it was a big deal.

The lifespan of a second-level wizard is generally more than 3,000 years, and it is not difficult to extend it to 5,000 years through various means.

For a second-level wizard, 40 to 50 years will pass in the blink of an eye.

The real difficulty lies in the materials.

Transforming the alchemical body requires materials including hundreds of rare resources such as Arcanite, Mithril, Star Steel, and Sea Heart Silver.

The most important material is Arcanite.

This is a rare metal that is similar to Mithril, with excellent ductility and magic conductivity, but much more precious than Mithril.

In all these years on the Starlight Continent, Sunan has never found Arcanite.

In other words, this is a material that is impossible to get at this stage.

"The transformation process of the alchemical body is quite special, and the synthesis of the magic cube will not work. It seems that we can only study substitutes for Arcanite."

Sunan quickly made up his mind.

In terms of researching new materials, he has an advantage over other wizards in that he has the magic cube as a golden finger.

Materials with target characteristics can be synthesized through various attempts, and the research difficulty is relatively lower.

It's just that it's not easy to develop substitutes for precious materials such as Arcanite. In addition, some other rare materials that are also difficult to get and need to develop substitutes, Sunan estimates that it will take a lot of time.

"Take it one step at a time. There's no rush anyway."

After leaving the workshop, Sunan teleported to the study.

Learning fourth-ring spells has become one of his daily routines.

Compared to third-ring spells, fourth-ring spells are more powerful and difficult to learn.

Even with the golden finger, it takes Sunan three or four months on average to master a fourth-ring spell.

Even if he is like this, you can imagine how fast ordinary second-level wizards learn fourth-ring spells.

It's also fortunate that the lifespan of second-level wizards is long enough, otherwise many second-level wizards may not learn a few fourth-ring spells until their lifespan is approaching.

In terms of practicality, there are quite a few eye-catching fourth-ring spells.

For example, the [Dimension Anchor] that blocks space and prohibits all teleportation spells.

The [Secondary Spell Invalidation Barrier] that can block the effects of zero-ring to third-ring spells.

The [Heavy Fog Spell] that creates a thick fog that can block vision and slow down movement.

There are also attack-type spells like [Aifa Black Tentacles], [Ice Storm], [Roaring Spell], etc.

Sunan intends to learn all the four-ring spells to be prepared.

Anyway, he learns quickly.

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Sunan devoted his energy to cultivation and research, sub-magic energy technology also spread at an astonishing speed in the southeast region of the continent.

As the concentration of energy particles on the continent gradually increased, the speed of cultivating and forming sub-magic stone veins was also gradually accelerating.

In some places where energy-rich vein nodes are located, the formation speed of sub-magic stone veins is even faster.

As of the 1436th year of the Starlight Calendar, the Star Alliance has a small sub-magic stone vein and two medium-sized sub-magic stone veins under mining, and the output of sub-magic stones has increased five or six times compared with previous years.

The increase in the output of sub-magic stones has also led to the rapid popularization of sub-magic energy technology.

"This is the development of sub-magic energy technology in the southeast region in the past ten years."

Lize put a document in front of Sunan.

"The situation is much better than we expected. The income of the Southeast Region has been growing in the past ten years. Last year's income was more than twice that of ten years ago. According to this trend, if the entire Starlight Continent promotes sub-magic energy technology, the annual income of the Star Alliance will definitely exceed 50 million gold coins."

Su Nan opened the file and read it, and asked casually: "How long will it take for the remaining secondary magic stone veins to take shape?"

"If the concentration of energy particles on the continent continues to increase according to the current trend, it will be about two hundred years."

"So long?"

"After all, the remaining veins are large veins, and it will definitely take longer."

In order to maximize the use of each vein node, the Star Alliance only opened up one small and two medium-sized veins to warm up for the promotion of sub-magic energy technology, and the rest were all opened up into large veins.

Lize said: "Although it takes a long time to wait, once all the large veins are formed, the output will be enough for the entire Starlight Continent."

Su Nan quite agrees with this.

Although the sub-magic energy technology in the southeast region is still in its early stages of development and the demand for secondary magic stones has not yet reached its peak, the output of a small vein and two medium-sized veins is enough to barely supply the secondary magic stone demand of the entire southeast region, which is enough to show how considerable the output of the veins is.

When the remaining more than 30 large veins are formed, the output of secondary magic stones will definitely be more than enough to cover the entire continent.

After reading the document, Sunan already had a good idea of ​​the details of the development of sub-magic energy technology and secondary magic stone veins. He put the document aside and then asked another question.

"How is Starlight Academy doing recently?"

"Not bad."

Li Ze stretched out her hand and a new document fell in front of Sunan.

"Perhaps because of the increase in the concentration of energy particles, more and more people have wizard qualifications in recent years."

"Currently, the total number of students in Starlight Academy has exceeded 23,000, of which there are 288 third-level wizard apprentices."

Sunan nodded with satisfaction.

This number is already very exaggerated. I am afraid that the total number of wizard apprentices in the Starlight Continent over the past hundred years is not this large.

And it can be predicted that the number of new students will gradually increase in the future.

The number of students will not reach its peak until the concentration of energy particles in the Starlight Continent is completely stabilized and the number of new students and the number of wizard apprentices who die each year is balanced.

If nothing unexpected happens afterwards, it should remain around the horizontal line.

By then, there will be at least 100,000 students in the Starlight Academy.

This has basically reached the average number of wizard apprentices that a medium-sized human plane can produce.

The reason why large wizard forces like those have millions of wizard apprentices is that they control multiple human planes and have a wide source of students.

"What about the number of wizards?" Sunan asked afterwards.

"Currently there are seven."

Sunan raised his eyebrows. He remembered that there were five wizards before.

"Who are the two newly promoted ones?"

"Sheman and Cole."

This answer was really unexpected to Sunan.

"When did they get promoted?"

"Half a year ago." Liz said, "They wanted to report their promotion to you, but you were either in the training room or locked in the workshop, so they never found the chance."

Sunan was speechless.

It seems that he is still not qualified as a teacher, and he was late to realize even such a big thing as his disciple's promotion to wizard.

"Yes, it seems that both of them are practicing well, so I can't treat them badly as a teacher, and ask them to come to the study later."

Sunan paused and asked:

"Where is Atil?"

Lize shook her head: "She is not qualified, no matter how hard she tries, she can't be promoted to a wizard through normal means."

Hearing that there seemed to be a different meaning in Liz's words, Sunan asked with interest: "Do you mean that non-normal means are OK?"

Lize didn't say anything, just glanced at the code on the table in front of her.

Sunan was slightly startled, and then frowned.

"You want Atil to become a ghost like you, and then reshape her body?"

Lize said calmly: "Only in this way can Atil gain more time and have a glimmer of hope to become a wizard."

"But this method is not 100% successful, it is more like there is a high possibility of death." Sunan frowned.

"I have asked Atil, she is willing to do this."

Sunan was silent and sighed in his heart.

Attir usually seems not to be obsessed with improving his strength, but I didn't expect that he was so obsessed with becoming a wizard that he even took this extremely high mortality rate method just to get a chance to become a wizard.

Perhaps her usual performance was just to cover up her disappointment and inferiority due to her lack of qualifications.

After a long silence, Sunan asked:

"I'm curious, why are you willing to help Attir extract the soul and transform it into a ghost form?"

Attir couldn't know Liz's experience. It was only Liz who took the initiative to tell her about extracting the soul and transforming it into a ghost.

But with Liz's personality, it's hard to imagine that she would do this.

Even now, when I mentioned this to Sunan, I didn't mean to ask him for Attir.

Even if Attir was just a third-level wizard apprentice, the resources needed to reshape his body would not be as amazing as Liz's, but it was also a considerable expense.

At least for an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice, the resources needed to reshape his body are definitely an astronomical figure that cannot be paid, and even if he earns hundreds of years of contribution points, he can't exchange it.

Under normal circumstances, the Star Alliance would not pay such a high price for a third-level wizard apprentice who is not valuable enough.

Liz was silent for a while, and said: "Her temperament is very much in line with my mind."

Sunan laughed dumbly.

Yes, even wizards are not wooden without any feelings.

Atil has been with Liz for so long, one assists in handling various affairs, and the other guides cultivation from time to time. It is not surprising that the two have some feelings.

Atil is nominally his student, but in fact, he and Liz are more like teacher and student.

Thinking of this, Sunan's heart moved, and he smiled and said: "The price of reshaping the body is not cheap. What are you going to use to convince me?"

". What do you want?"

"The previous agreement will be modified. After reshaping the body, you will join the Star Alliance."

Liz's expression was slightly stagnant, and she rolled her eyes at Sunan, and finally nodded.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Then it's settled. Atil's affairs are up to you. If you need anything, just get it from the warehouse. If you are lucky enough, I will rebuild her body for her when the future plane barrier is completely repaired."

After talking about the matter, Sunan did not stay for long and left the study directly.

Watching Sunan's figure disappear, Liz shook her head and chuckled.

After staying in the Star Alliance for so long and seeing the development potential of the Star Alliance, she actually had the idea of ​​rebuilding her body to join the Star Alliance.

Even if it hadn't happened today, she would have brought it up in the future.

She knew that Sunan actually saw this point, and the conversation just now was just a tacit understanding between the two of them.

Even if she didn't pay the price, Sunan would agree to Atil's affairs.

After all, that was his disciple.

The Star Alliance would indeed not pay a huge price for a third-level wizard apprentice.

But if that third-level wizard apprentice was the disciple of the Star Alliance controller, it would be different. (End of this chapter)
