Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 184

Starlight Calendar 1269, Fire Moon (July).

War broke out again. The day after the Star Alliance declared war, they launched a fierce attack on the Golden Sky Empire.

Despite having two years of respite, the Golden Sky Empire, having lost a vast amount of territory, hadn’t accumulated much power. Facing the renewed onslaught of the Star Alliance, they were steadily retreating from the very beginning of the war.

Golden Sky Empire, Saint Flame City.

Fire Moon was originally the time of the Golden Sky Empire’s annual Flame Festival. However, in Saint Flame City, the capital of the Empire, there wasn’t a single trace of festive atmosphere; instead, it was eerily quiet.

The Imperial Palace, study.

The Golden Sky Emperor, having just finished a court meeting, returned to his study. Pushing open the door, he saw the Staff standing by the window, gazing out at the sky.

“You finally decided to come see me.” The Golden Sky Emperor’s face was not looking good.

The Staff turned around, his eyes looking at him with a faint sadness, he sighed.

“I told you, I won’t interfere in the war between your Empire and the Star Duchy.”

“Are you going to watch the Empire fall and the royal bloodline die out?” The Golden Sky Emperor gritted his teeth and asked.

News of successive defeats on the front lines was coming in. The Empire’s demise was imminent. He didn’t care about the other party’s lofty status in the Empire. He took a confrontational attitude.

However, the only response he received was the Staff’s calm and impassive gaze.

“The royal family’s kindness to me, I have already repaid. The Empire and I are now just partners. I don’t need to be responsible for the Empire’s demise. I thought you knew this all along.”

The Golden Sky Emperor’s expression faltered. He gritted his teeth and said, “What do you want in return? Just say it. As long as you can save the Empire, I’ll agree to any condition!”

The Staff shook his head, saying nothing.

Seeing this, the Golden Sky Emperor’s face grew even more grim. He said in a deep voice, “Since you don’t intend to intervene, then help me with something!”

“What do you need?”

“Help me contact other Wizard Apprentices! I’m willing to pay a sufficient price. As long as they are willing to join forces to help the Empire deal with Su Nan!”

The Golden Sky Emperor made up his mind secretly. As long as he could kill Su Nan, even if he had to empty the national treasury, he would do it.

With Su Nan dead, the Star Duchy would inevitably fall into chaos and wouldn’t be able to continue the war. And without the Star Duchy as its core, the Star Alliance would naturally collapse.

The Empire would then have more time to catch its breath, and perhaps even have the chance to rise again in the future!

The Golden Sky Emperor’s mind raced, but then he met the Staff’s pitying gaze.

“It’s useless. Even if you gather all the Wizard Apprentices on the continent, you won’t be able to harm Su Nan in the slightest.”

The Golden Sky Emperor was stunned. He subconsciously asked, “Why?”

The Staff sighed with a complicated expression and said softly, “Su Nan has already become a Wizard.”

The Golden Sky Emperor was stunned for a while before he realized the implication of the Staff’s words. He was struck as if by lightning, his eyes wide.

“Wi-Wizard?”

“How is that possible?! How could anyone on the Starlight Continent possibly become a Wizard?”

As the overlord of the Southeast Region, the Golden Sky Emperor had access to more secrets about Wizards than others. Naturally, he also knew the current predicament of the Starlight Continent: it was almost impossible for anyone to become a Wizard on this land!

Facing the Golden Sky Emperor’s shocked questioning, the Staff simply replied with four words.

“Starsea Tower.”

These four words instantly drained all the Golden Sky Emperor’s strength.

He slumped back in his chair, his face pale, his eyes filled with despair.

The Golden Sky Emperor knew very well what a Wizard meant.

As the Staff had said, all the Wizard Apprentices on the entire continent wouldn’t be a match for Su Nan.

On this continent, a Wizard was synonymous with invincibility.

Thinking of how he had just been fantasizing about dealing with a Wizard, the Golden Sky Emperor suddenly felt a bit ridiculous.

“Surrender,” the Staff said softly, “Doing so might still preserve a sliver of the royal bloodline.”

The Golden Sky Emperor was silent for a while before he said in a hoarse voice, “Will the Star Duchy allow the royal bloodline to continue?”

“Why wouldn’t they? What does the Star Duchy need to worry about now?” The Staff asked back.

The Golden Sky Emperor opened his mouth, but he was speechless.

Yes.

The Star Duchy, with a Wizard backing them, had nothing to worry about anymore.

As long as Su Nan was around, no one could shake the Arnest family’s position.

Even if they left the Golden Sky royal bloodline, it wouldn’t have any impact on the Star Duchy.

“…Fine, the Empire surrenders.”

With these words, the Golden Sky Emperor seemed to age a lot all of a sudden.

After shedding the aura of being the overlord of the Southeast Region, he now looked like a frail old man.

The Staff shook his head slightly, looking out the window again, his eyes flashing with thought.

The Starlight Continent was about to experience a drastic change, should he make some changes too?

Dragon Bone Tower, Fifth Layer.

Sherman came out of the workshop and was about to head to the warehouse.

Looking at the ten sets of Second-Rank Magic Patterned Constructs lying in his Space Ring, he couldn’t help but smile.

These Magic Patterned Constructs, when converted into Contribution Points, would be enough to exchange for a Super Ability Potion.

“The sixth Star Ring is only a little bit away from completion. With this Super Ability Potion, it should be enough.”

Thinking happily, Sherman entered the central hall and teleported to the warehouse area.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Athiel and Corey discussing something not far away.

More than ten years had passed, and Athiel and Corey were both over thirty years old.

But judging from their appearance, they looked at most like they were in their early twenties.

Long-term immersion and improvement by Energy Particles would significantly slow down the aging process of Wizard Apprentices, allowing their bodies to remain in peak condition until just before their death, when they would start aging rapidly.

Therefore, unless there were changes in appearance due to bloodline fusion or physical transformation, very few Wizard Apprentices would show signs of aging.

Sherman himself was the same.

“Athiel, Corey.”

Hearing the voice, Athiel turned around and saw Sherman. A bright smile bloomed on her face.

Corey gave him a slight nod, his expression as indifferent as ever.

Sherman didn’t mind. He casually asked, “What are you two doing here?”

He then glanced around and looked surprised, “Why are there so many people today?”

Athiel stared at Sherman with wide eyes, surprised, “You don’t know?”

“Know what?” Sherman was taken aback. “I’ve been staying in the workshop lately. I just came out. Did something happen?”

Athiel was relieved. She smiled and said, “The Teacher is back.”

Sherman was stunned for a moment, followed by immense joy.

The Teacher had been gone for more than two years. Although he had left a message beforehand as a precaution, not seeing the Teacher for so long had left the entire base, including him, with a faint feeling of loss, as if they had lost their backbone.

Before Sherman could recover from his joy, Athiel said mysteriously, “There’s a rumor going around outside lately, do you know what it is?”

Sherman rolled his eyes, “Don’t beat around the bush.”

Athiel didn’t mind. She smiled and said, “The rumor is that the Teacher has received the legacy of the Starsea Tower and become a Wizard!”

“What? Is it true?” Sherman was shocked.

“It should be true,” Corey said, “At the time, many people saw the Teacher killing the fourteen Third-Rank Wizard Apprentices of the Truth Council in the Northwest Region. And he did it alone, taking only two or three breaths!”

“Besides a Wizard, I can’t think of anyone else who could do that!”

By the end, even the stoic Corey couldn’t help but show a flicker of excitement and longing.

Sherman stood there dumbfounded, his expression somewhat dazed.

Although he had thought before that the Teacher might become a Wizard, he was still shocked when it actually happened before his eyes.

After all, it was a Wizard!

The realm that every Wizard Apprentice dreamed of!

“You’re surprised, aren’t you?” Athiel sighed. “I was shocked too when I heard this news. I didn’t expect the Teacher to take that step so soon.”

“The Teacher’s talent is beyond our imagination!” Corey said.

Sherman regained his senses and glanced at Corey with strange eyes.

From before, he had faintly felt that Corey, though seemingly indifferent and taciturn, actually admired the Teacher deeply, even to the point of being unprincipled.

If the Teacher was a god instead of a Wizard, Corey would definitely qualify as a fanatic.

“Wait,” Sherman then realized, “What does this have to do with you two gathering in the warehouse area?”

Athiel explained, “The Task Hall has posted a lot of new tasks. They’ve also increased the Contribution Points for buying Magic Patterned Constructs, Magicized Weapons, Stone Golems, and Twin Blade Spiders. Everyone is here to take on new tasks.”

Sherman narrowed his eyes and immediately understood the deeper meaning behind these changes.

“Is the Star Alliance about to launch an expansion again?”

“Most likely,” Corey’s eyes shone with light, “The Starlight Continent is about to experience a drastic change.”

Sherman nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, the Star Alliance, with a Wizard backing them, was now qualified to unify the underground world and even the entire Starlight Continent.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

Following the Teacher’s usual way of doing things, he would undoubtedly do so.

The change in Contribution Points for equipment and Golems was undoubtedly a preparation for launching a war.

“Actually, besides the tasks, I also heard a little rumor.”

Athiel said in a low voice.

“I heard the Teacher is going to establish a Wizard Academy.”

A Wizard Academy?

Sherman widened his eyes in surprise.

Corey was also stunned. This was the first time he had heard about it.

“Where did you hear that from?” Corey asked quickly.

“Lord Amy said it.”

Sherman and Corey’s eyes flickered.

Since Lord Amy said it, it was probably true.

“But if we’re going to establish a Wizard Academy, how will we solve the tutor problem?” Sherman asked in confusion.

Even if the Teacher was willing to teach them personally, an academy couldn’t be built with just one tutor.

“I don’t know about that,” Athiel shrugged.

Sherman was both confused and excited for a moment.

If the academy really did come to fruition, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for them, the apprentices.

Having a tutor to teach them knowledge would undoubtedly greatly improve their learning efficiency.

In the future, when they encountered difficulties, they wouldn’t have to bury themselves in research alone.

Dragon Bone Tower, Sixth Layer, Experimental Area.

In a spacious and bright laboratory, Su Nan stood in front of the workbench, placing bottles of Lower-Grade Revitalization Potions into the Magic Cube.

After opening up a large magic plant garden in Dragon Forest Zone 2, the supply of Silver Moon Flowers had increased dramatically. Now, he basically didn’t have to worry about that anymore.

Especially during the two years plus he had spent in the Starsea Tower, his warehouse had accumulated a large amount of Silver Moon Flowers, enough to last for a long time.

As more and more potions were added, the text information on the Magic Cube synthesis interface kept changing, and finally flashed sharply, finally displaying the word ‘Fourth Rank’.

【Crystal Soul Potion (Fourth Rank/High Grade), after consumption, can significantly increase the speed of Spiritual Power condensing, and enhance the absorption efficiency of Energy Particles. Duration: 182 days 22 hours, no stacking effect. The user must reach at least the First-Rank Gasification Stage and their Spiritual Power must meet certain standards (Lower Grade 25.32%/Middle Grade 17.88%/Upper Grade 8.24%/Super 1.02%)】

Su Nan nodded inwardly.

Based on the description of the effect, Crystal Soul Potion was purely an upgraded version of Revitalization Potion. The effect was only better than Revitalization Potion, with no other significant changes.

As for the last part of the description, it obviously referred to the Talent Crystal’s grade.

The grade of a Talent Crystal had a significant impact on a Wizard’s subsequent development, which was reflected even in the consumption restrictions of potions.

Wizards with higher-grade Talent Crystals, though they would have a harder time condensing Spiritual Power than those with lower-grade Talent Crystals, would have lower restrictions on potion use in return.

Moreover, for the same Spiritual Power condensation progress, the former would be more powerful than the latter.

Overall, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.

“According to this calculation, my current 1.34% condensation progress is equivalent to about 30% of a Lower-Grade Talent Crystal Wizard.”

A satisfied expression appeared on Su Nan’s face.

This was why he went to great lengths to pursue a high-grade Talent Crystal. Although it was more difficult in the early stages, the benefits would be much greater in the later stages.

Su Nan then tried synthesizing a Fifth-Rank potion. As a result, the consumption restriction jumped to the First-Rank Crystallization Stage (Super 24.45%).

“It seems like I’ll only be able to use Crystal Soul Potion for a long time.”

Su Nan wasn’t too disappointed. Crystal Soul Potion, coupled with the Element Pool and Divine Energy, was already enough for him to cultivate like a normal Wizard, without being affected by the environment of the Starlight Continent.

This was already very good, he couldn’t ask for more.

He would just slowly look for other ways to improve his cultivation efficiency later.

Coming back to his senses, Su Nan drank the potion immediately and then returned to the Element Pool on the top floor to cultivate.

By the time his Spiritual Power condensation progress increased by 0.01%, twelve days had passed.

“At this rate, it will take about three hundred years for me to break through to the First-Rank Liquefaction Stage.”

Su Nan pondered slightly.

Seven hundred years, I wonder if it’s enough for me to break through to the First-Rank Crystallization Stage?

If I can find more ways to improve my cultivation efficiency, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Shaking his head, Su Nan got up and left the top floor, teleporting to the workshop area on the Fifth Layer.

The potion issue had been solved, now it was time to deal with the Artifact issue.

After thinking about it for the past few days, Su Nan had a preliminary plan.
