Chapter 89: Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures

The entrance to the base.

The three Shermans looked a little uneasy and looked outside from time to time.

Beside the three of them, Madeleine and Geli were holding weapons and looking calm.

There are also dense stone golems around.

When leaving the base, in order to prevent Herb from attacking the base, Sunan specially used the communication technique to ask Madeleine and Geli to protect the base and apprentices.

A few meters away, more than a dozen newcomers gathered together, looking a little confused.

They had no idea what was going on, and they were suddenly called here.

Because of this, they were not particularly worried and had enough time to secretly look at Madeleine.

Many people are very curious about this son of the forest who looks very different from humans.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the base.

Madeleine and Geli subconsciously raised their weapons. They relaxed slightly and lowered their weapons until they saw the face of the person clearly.

"teacher!"

Seeing Sunan return safe and sound, Sherman, Atil and Corey all breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly came over to greet him.

The newcomers were startled when they heard that the person in front of them was the legendary wizard, their future teacher, and they quickly bowed and saluted.

"Your Excellency Sunan."

"Is the new guy here?"

Su Nan smiled slightly, said a few words of encouragement, waved his hand and said:

"Okay, it's okay. You can go do your own thing."

"Yes, teacher."

Although they were very curious, the three young apprentices still retreated obediently.

The newcomer also left with the three seniors.

Sunan turned to look at Madeline and Geli, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Madeleine shook her head, turned and left in silence, going back to the Magic Plant Garden.

"As long as you're okay." Geli smiled, turned and left.

"Meow!"

Su Nan suddenly felt his shoulders sink. Amy appeared out of thin air and asked with wide eyes:

"What happened? I just felt a strong energy wave coming from Glitter City!"

"It's nothing, it's just that an enemy came to the door, but I have already dealt with it." Su Nan comforted with a smile.

"Enemy? Is he a wizard apprentice?" Amy's eyes widened.

The strong energy fluctuation just now could only be caused by the fight between two wizard apprentices.

When the previous master's students were still there, it had often experienced similar energy fluctuations at the training ground.

"Yes." Su Nan nodded, "A third-level wizard apprentice."

"Level 3 wizard apprentice!"

Amy was startled, but was a little confused when she reacted.

"Meow, aren't you a second-level wizard apprentice? How did you defeat the third-level wizard apprentice?"

Su Nan rubbed the little kitten's head and said meaningfully: "I relied on my ability to make money."

Cash ability?

Amy's little eyes were full of confusion.

What is the ability to banknote?

A spell?

Sunan smiled without explaining, patted Amy and let her play by herself, and then walked towards the meditation room.

After the battle, it's the joyful time of counting the loot.

Meditation room.

Under the bright and soft light, Sunan looked at the space ring in his hand.

Perhaps because he didn't expect that the space ring would fall into the hands of others, there was no secret lock attached to it, so Sunan easily opened the inner space.

The space is not big, less than one cubic meter, but there are a lot of things, filling all the space.

Sunan took out the things one by one and counted them one by one.

The first is money.

There are only more than a hundred gold coins in total, and there are also many scattered silver coins and copper coins.

There are a total of 112 gemstones, most of which are mid- to low-grade gemstones such as tourmaline, jadeite, zircon, spinel, and topaz, but there are also more than a dozen high-grade gemstones such as rubies, sapphires, and diamonds.

There's even a rare pale green stone.

Pale green stone, also known as shield stone, is a delicate, green-white or very dark green shiny gemstone that can usually only be found in extremely dangerous underdark areas.

Chlorophyte is used to create magic items that can greatly enhance enchanting properties such as acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic energy.

It can also be used to arrange magic circles and make soul cores.

Of course, it can also be used to make rune gems, but it's a bit wasteful.

"nice one."

A smile appeared on Sunan's face.

The best gemstones are extremely valuable.

For example, this pale green stone is worth at least 5,000 gold coins.

The preliminary estimated total value of the remaining gems exceeds 4,000 gold coins.

In terms of gems alone, Sunan's consumption this time was completely replenished, and the amount was several times more!

It can be said that I made a lot of money!

In addition, there are many jewelry such as rings, necklaces and bracelets in the space ring.

Sunan estimated that these things should be used by Heb to make magic items.

After counting the money, Sunan looked at the books.

There are not many books, only a dozen or so, and without exception they are all second-level spell model books.

Including [Elemental Protection], [Scorch Ray], [Flash Dust], [Level 2 Summon Monster Technique], [See Through Invisibility], [Darkness Technique], [Invisibility Technique], [Mirror Image Technique], and [Group Terror Technique] , [Tenacity], [Brute Strength], [Lightness], [Levitation].

Sunan guessed that Heb put other books where he lived and only carried the more important spell books with him.

After all, this thing takes up quite a lot of space.

"If we can find where Heb lives, we may be able to get more wizarding books."

"I just don't know where this guy lives?"

"Perhaps there is a clue from Marquis Jinyan?"

After thinking for a moment, Sunan temporarily put aside her doubts and put the books away.

Before today, he only had two second-level spell books, [Ma Youfu Acid Arrow] and [Crushing Sound Wave].

I was originally worried about where to find more second-level spell books after being promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice.

Fortunately, someone took the initiative to deliver the things to his door, which saved him a lot of effort.

More than a dozen second-level spells were enough for him to learn for several years.

In addition to money and books, there are also many rare materials in the space ring.

Many of them Sunan couldn't identify, and detailed information was obtained only after putting them into the Rubik's Cube.

To his surprise, these materials happened to contain the rare metals needed to refine the magic pattern core, and there were five types of them.

"There are so many rare materials. I don't know how many years and effort it took Herb to collect them all, but now they are all at an advantage to me."

Sunan was filled with joy.

The total value of everything in the space ring is at least ten to twenty thousand gold coins.

This time he can be said to have made a lot of money.

"As expected, the rewards for defeating elite monsters are generous."

After being delighted for a while, Sunan came back to his senses and recalled what Heb had said before.

"According to what Herb said, he should have seen or known about the existence of many wizard apprentices."

"I wonder if these wizard apprentices have any contact with each other?"

Sunan frowned in thought.

In the era when wizards returned after a thousand years, he did know a lot of relevant information about wizard forces.

But he didn't know much about the wizard apprentice organizations in the Starlight Continent in version 1.0.

After all, he has never experienced that version.

"Entrusting the Firefox Chamber of Commerce to investigate should not be feasible. Even if there is a wizard apprentice organization, it is not something ordinary people can know about."

After thinking for a moment to no avail, Sunan shook his head and stopped worrying.

If there really is a wizard apprentice organization, then sooner or later he will be able to come into contact with it.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Sunan gathered his thoughts and continued his daily routine of meditation.

In the final analysis, strengthening yourself is the most important thing.

As long as he is strong enough, he doesn't have to worry about any external threats.

"Promote to the third level wizard apprentice as soon as possible, so that many things can be put on the agenda."

After the attack on the Sorcerer's Apprentice, Key immediately blocked the relevant news.

Therefore, this incident did not cause any chaos in Glitter City, and everything was as calm as usual.

The Jinyan coalition forces also made no movement, as calm as if nothing happened.

Only a few people know the turbulent undercurrent beneath this tranquility.

Time has entered the spring dawn moon.

The snow is gradually showing signs of melting.

The flash collar became more and more lively.

The troops set off and gathered together with various supplies towards the front line.

The entire Shining Collar is sharpening its swords in preparation for the coming war.

On the other hand, with the large number of gems obtained from Heb, Sunan suddenly had a lot of money.

He took out all the mid- to low-end gems, plus the gems purchased from the Firefox Merchant Guild, and used them all to make the stone golem.

The battle with Earl Winterfrost has proven the stone golem's powerful ability to attack difficulties on the frontal battlefield.

The stone golem is fearless of death and pain. Once it reaches a large scale, it can even play a role on the battlefield that far exceeds that of the same number of knights!

The illustrious reputation of the Golem Legion cannot be overshadowed.

Therefore, when it came to forming the golem army, Key burst out with great enthusiasm, gave all support, and responded to every request.

By the time of the Thunder Moon, the golem army of the Shining Leader had begun to take shape.

A total of three hundred stone golems were transported to the front lines, ready for battle.

"In the past month, the spread of the disaster in Ranshuang Province has slowed down significantly. The infected people hitting the borders of Hongye Province, Baita Province and Hulan Province have also been eliminated. Now the three provinces are preparing to Mobilize the army to counterattack Ranshuang Province and completely resolve the disaster."

In the study, Keyi shook the battle report in his hand and immediately handed it to Sunan who was sitting opposite.

Su Nan opened it, took a few glances, and nodded in understanding.

Obviously, with the death of Herb, the mastermind behind it, the infected army has lost control and its expansion momentum has gradually stalled.

Today's army of infected people is like a group of headless flies, and it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out.

Of course, because the early disaster was so violent, it will take a long time to completely suppress it.

Unless the weaknesses of those infected can be found, it is possible to end the disaster in a short time.

"What did the royal family say to Marquis Jinyan?" Sunan asked, putting down the battle report.

"What else can I say? The royal family probably didn't expect us to be evenly matched with the Marquis of Jinyan, so they might be relieved."

Key smiled, opened the drawer, took out a roll of beautifully decorated parchment and placed it on the table.

"This is a conferment letter sent by the royal family, conferring me the title of Earl of Flash. The royal envoy also hinted to me that when the rebels are completely defeated, the royal family will confer me as a marquis and entrust Jinyan Province to me as a fief. The Grand Guild will conduct a real canonization ceremony."

Su Nan raised his eyebrows: "It's really a generous reward."

Throughout the history of the Principality of Stars, except during the founding period, no nobleman has ever been promoted from baron to earl or even marquis in just one year!

He is still a powerful marquis who controls a province!

It must be said that the rewards promised by the royal family this time are unusually generous.

"In extraordinary times, extraordinary things are done. The royal family is still courageous."

Keyi said with a smile:

"The three provinces of Hongye, Baita and Hulan are now busy dealing with the infected, and the two provinces of Zizhu and Suoman are not strong enough, and may not be able to deal with Marquis Jinyan."

"The royal family must be afraid that Marquis Jinyan will really become powerful, and they promised me these things to make me work hard to deal with Marquis Jinyan."

Su Nan smiled without denying.

He knew that Keyi had another reason that he didn't say.

That is, the royal family is also afraid that Marquis Jinyan's rebellion will make other marquises have ideas, so Marquis Jinyan must be wiped out!

Kill one to warn the hundred!

Even if it costs a marquisate for this, it is worth it.

Moreover, if Marquis Jinyan is really wiped out, then his position must be replaced by someone.

At that time, apart from Keyi, who actually controlled the Jinyan Province, there was no other suitable candidate. It would be better to go with the flow and appease the new marquis.

"Anyway, with this earl title, many things that I couldn't do before can now be started."

At this point, Keyi's face had a few more happy smiles from the heart.

Before, he was just a baron, and even if his subordinates made military achievements, they could only be conferred the title of lord at most.

But with the earl title, the operability of granting vassal titles has been greatly improved.

Like the baron or viscount title, as long as he has enough territory to be granted, then the title can only be reported to the royal family in name.

"When are you going to start the war?"

"Everything is ready, and it will start at the end of the month."

"I won't participate in the war, and I will be in seclusion for a while next."

Sunan's mental power has now reached the critical point of breakthrough. Next, he will be in seclusion for a few days to prepare for the promotion to the third-level wizard apprentice.

As for the war during this period, he is not too worried.

Heb is dead, and Marquis Jinyan has lost his biggest trump card.

On the other hand, Flash Territory still has the Black Rock Cavalry and the Stone Golem Legion.

In terms of military strength, Flash Territory has now gained the upper hand.

The next war can be said to be no suspense.

"I know, you can just stay in seclusion."

Key nodded seriously, he knew what was important.

The end of the Thunder Month.

The long winter is finally over, and the snow has completely melted.

With the arrival of spring, the war between Flash Territory and the Jinyan Coalition, which had been shelved for nearly half a year, broke out again.

This highly anticipated war has attracted the attention of almost all the nobles of the Principality of Stars as expected.

Everyone with a discerning eye knows that this battle will determine the ownership of the Jinyan Province.

The final winner will undoubtedly gain actual control of the entire Jinyan Province.
