Chapter 204: A Thousand-Year-Old Wizard Family
Returning to the original cave, Sunan turned around and saw the dark space passage shrinking rapidly, and finally turned into a black dot and disappeared.
Looking at this scene, a hint of emotion flashed across Su Nan's face.
The Black Forest collapsed and was annihilated, the Tower of Stars was dismantled into materials by him, and two of the three legendary wizard inheritances in the Starlight Continent disappeared forever through his hands.
Now there is only one Falling Star City left.
"I just don't know where Falling Star City is?"
Su Nan pondered secretly.
He searched the entire underground world, but still found no clues about Falling Star City.
The clue to this last wizard's inheritance is most likely in the surface world, and most likely in the northwest region.
After all, he had already thoroughly explored the southeast region.
"After the Star Empire conquers the Northwest Region, let Key help find it."
Coming to his senses, Sunan left the cave.
The body of the Dark Demon Tree is too large to be taken out in the Dragon Forest. He needs to find a spacious and secluded place and then extract the divine energy from the tree.
However, this work was much more tedious and time-consuming than Sunan had expected.
The divine energy contained in the trunk of the Dark Demon Tree is not particularly large, only less than three hundred standard units, but because the trunk is so huge, it is time-consuming to extract it.
It took more than two months for Sunan to extract and absorb the divine energy in the tree trunk and finally completely absorb it.
The mental concentration also increased by nearly 20%, soaring to 60.37%!
Since all the essence had been condensed into Thousand Trees Essence and the divine energy had been drained, the trunk of the Dark Demon Tree had turned into a pile of ordinary wood, and that too with wood radiating negative energy particles. It had no benefits but disadvantages, so Sunan simply burned it and was done with it.
After that, Sunan divided the Thousand Trees Essence into several pieces, and then synthesized them to purify the spider venom inside before starting to absorb them.
Perhaps because it was condensed from all the essence of the Dark Demonic Tree, the energy contained in this piece of Thousand Trees Essence was greater than Sunan had expected, and ultimately increased his mental concentration by more than 14%.
At this point, Sunan's mental concentration has exceeded the 70% mark.
【Sunan Yanest, human male】
[Vaporization: 74.82%]
"We are only about 15% away from breaking through to the first level of liquefaction."
Sunan was delighted.
I originally thought that it would take three to four hundred years of practice to break through to the first level of liquefaction, but I didn't expect that after only ten years of being promoted to a wizard, the mental concentration had increased to more than 70%.
Speaking of which, the rapid improvement in mental concentration is largely due to the Spider Queen.
Almost all the divine energy he absorbed in the past ten years came from the Spider Queen.
If the Spider Queen hadn't persisted in sending him multiple gift packages, he wouldn't have been able to break through 70% of his spiritual concentration so quickly.
Thinking of this, Sunan suddenly felt a little sorry that the Spider Queen could no longer intervene in the Starlight Continent.
Shouldn't we kill the Dark Demon Tree so quickly?
"Forget it. That woman is too cunning. Who knows what trouble she might cause if we keep her around. It's better to deal with her as soon as possible."
Su Nan thought about it and shook his head.
The risk of keeping the Dark Demon Tree is too great. There is no need to keep a time bomb around you just for a little divine energy.
"There is only about 15% of the spiritual concentration left. If I practice step by step for about 80 years, I can break through to the first level of liquefaction."
"And it's not like there aren't other means."
A gleam of light flashed in Su Nan's eyes.
When he was searching for the Thunder Stone in the Lightning Elemental Plane, he had the idea of hunting elemental giants to extract their divine energy.
I just worried that I didn't have enough strength, so I put it on hold for the time being.
Now that my mental concentration has nearly doubled and my strength has greatly increased, I might as well give it a try.
If successful, there will be a stable way to obtain divine energy in the future.
But you have to be prepared.
The Thunder Elemental Plane is the home turf of the Thunder Elemental Giants, and the only means that can be used to deal with them there are non-elemental spells, non-lightning engraved gems, and liquid metals.
Other means were either not powerful enough, or could not be used due to environmental restrictions, or had little effect on the thunder elemental giants. All of them were not within Su Nan's consideration.
"Prepare some more engraved gems."
"If it doesn't work, I can use a pile of engraved gems to kill him."
With a plan in mind, Sunan did not linger any longer. He used the levitation technique to fly off the ground and towards the nearest city-state.
Calculating the time, this trip lasted almost three months.
However, now that the war is over, there shouldn't be much for him to worry about regarding the Covenant.
At most, I would listen to reports occasionally and check on the general direction.
As soon as I returned to the Dragon Skeleton Tower, Carolina and Red Widow came over immediately.
"Master, we have collected all the marble and metal you requested, but the white jade will take some time."
In the study, Carolina handed over a list listing the various materials that had been collected, including marble, obsidian, and fine steel.
These are the basic building materials needed to build a wizard tower.
And collecting is just the first step.
These ordinary building materials cannot be used to build wizard towers at present. They must be enchanted to increase their hardness and magical conductivity.
The quality of the enchantment of basic building materials largely determines the upper limit of a wizard tower.
In short, the huge number of basic building materials means that enchanting is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task.
With a wave of his hand, Su Nan divided the enchanting process of building materials into different tasks and handed them over to the students of Starlight Academy.
Any first-level wizard apprentice with a certain foundation in enchantment can do this kind of basic work.
"You can take your time collecting white jade, but you must pay attention to quality." Su Nan instructed.
White marble is a fine-grained marble with pure white color and hard texture. It is a superior building and sculpture material.
It has a weak magical conductivity, and its performance is greatly improved after being enchanted. It can be used to strengthen the elemental array and is very suitable for building elemental pools and meditation areas.
In addition, after being blessed by magic, white jade will become very strong and can withstand the impact of spells below the third level. It is also suitable for building spell training rooms.
The only downside is that it is quite expensive.
"Where are the other materials?" Su Nan asked after putting down the list.
Carolina responded respectfully, "The magic steel ingots and high-grade gemstones have been collected, but the arcane crystals, mystic dust, and astral sand are still three-fifths short. I have already sent more people to collect them everywhere."
"In addition, I am now asking the Star Empire to assist the Star Alliance in acquiring silver mines on the surface world and to list the silver mines as strategic materials and control them in our own hands. This will greatly increase the production of mithril."
Su Nan nodded slightly.
The wizard tower has many large facilities, including but not limited to element pools, element furnaces, maze-lock protective energy fields, floating rings and ultra-long-range strike devices, etc.
These facilities require a large amount of rare materials, including mithril.
However, the Starlight Continent lacks trading channels with other dimensions, and all resources can only be produced by itself. Collection is naturally very slow, and can basically only be accumulated slowly over time.
In addition, there are some materials that are simply not available in the Starlight Continent, and Sunan has to find a way to research alternative materials on his own.
It can be said that if there is no synthetic cube, building a wizard tower on the Starlight Continent is simply a pipe dream.
Carolina's ability to collect a considerable amount of rare materials in such a short period of time is a demonstration of her outstanding ability.
Sunan naturally wouldn't be too demanding.
“Well done.”
Carolina's face showed an uncontrollable joy when she received the praise from her master.
The Red Widow on the side saw this and curled her lips secretly.
There's nothing to be proud of.
Just as she was complaining in her heart, Su Nan suddenly turned around and looked at her.
"What's going on on the surface lately?"
Carolina is mainly responsible for the affairs of the underground world, while Red Widow is mainly responsible for the affairs of the surface world.
Hearing Sunan's question, the Red Widow immediately perked up and answered respectfully, "Master, a month ago, the Starry Empire officially attacked the Northwest Territory."
Su Nan raised his eyebrows, but he was not surprised at all.
It has been almost seven years since the unification of the Southeast Region. The Star Empire has almost digested the results of its previous wars and completely stabilized the situation in the Southeast Region.
It is not surprising to march into the northwest region of the continent now.
However, if it was just this point, the Red Widow would not report to him at this time, so Su Nan did not interrupt her and motioned her to continue.
"His Majesty Key sent a letter five days ago, requesting us to send high-level combat forces for support."
Su Nan finally showed some surprise on his face: "What's the reason?"
With the current military strength of the Star Empire, it should be enough to take over the Northwestern Region. Why does it still need to ask the Star Alliance for help?
The Red Widow replied with a strange expression, "All the countries in the Northwest Territory have united to fight against the Starry Empire. In addition, under the mediation of the Russell family, almost all the third-level wizard apprentices in the Northwest Territory have also united to assassinate the commanders of the Empire's various armies in the war. Because of these people, the Empire has been in a state of panic recently and has been unable to advance its front line, so it asked us for help."
"Russell family?" Sunan became interested. "What's going on with this family?"
Most of the third-level wizard apprentices are eccentric, undisciplined or arrogant. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to gather these people together.
It is really surprising that the Russell family could do such a thing.
The Red Widow handed a document to Sunan and said, "The Russell family is a wizard family with a history of thousands of years. It has a very deep heritage. It is said that their ancestors were wizards thousands of years ago. They enjoy great prestige in the Northwest Territory. Although they are not a royal family of any country, they are respected by all countries."
"In addition, the Russell family also has a high reputation in the circle of wizard apprentices. Many wizard apprentices have had interactions with them and received their help, so they will give them face in many matters."
"The reason why the third-level wizard apprentices from the Northwest Territory were able to put aside their prejudices and join forces this time was because the current patriarch of the Russell family, Fakado Russell, personally came forward and lobbied everywhere."
Sunan opened the file, which listed the information of the Russell family, including its family members.
The current patriarch, Fakado Russell, is 156 years old and a third-level wizard apprentice. His strength ranks among the top three in the entire Northwest Territories.
Below him, there are a total of sixteen wizard apprentices in the entire Russell family.
These include three third-level wizard apprentices, five second-level wizard apprentices, and eight first-level wizard apprentices.
The size alone is no less impressive than some wizard apprentice organizations.
It has to be said that the Russell family does have the confidence and strength to be respected by all countries and wizard apprentices.
"A wizard family that has been passed down for thousands of years?"
Su Nan seemed to be thinking about something.
This reminded him of the Kessler family.
The ancestors of the Kessler family were also wizards, and their heritage has been passed down for more than a thousand years.
But the Kessler family is in a much worse situation than the Russell family. They don’t even have a wizard apprentice.
The only three-ring legendary knight is now dead.
The only remaining family member is also missing. Is he still alive? "The ancestors of the Kessler family left them clues about the Starry Tower. As a wizard family with a thousand-year heritage, is it possible that the ancestors of the Russell family also left them clues about the wizard heritage?"
The three words "Falling Star City" suddenly flashed through Su Nan's mind.
Perhaps the last clue to the inheritance of the three great wizards lies in the Russell family.
"Let Secret Doll No. 1 and Secret Doll No. 2 go." Sunan closed the file, "Try to capture as many members of the Russell family as possible alive, especially Fakado Russell. I want to get some information from him."
"Yes, master." The Red Widow said respectfully.
Su Nan waved his hand, and the two girls tactfully said goodbye and left.
Walking out of the study, Carolina suddenly asked, "Are you going to lead the team to the Northwest Territory in person?"
"Of course." The Red Widow glanced at her and smiled, "The master obviously attaches great importance to the capture of the Russell family members. Of course I have to personally check it out."
Carolina looked at her deeply and said meaningfully: "I hope you won't let the master down."
The Red Widow's smile remained unchanged, and she said with a sweet laugh, "With two secret dolls here, I don't think this operation will be difficult."
The combat capability of the puppets is no secret to the senior members of the Star Alliance.
Two secret puppets with combat power comparable to that of a wizard, dealing with a group of third-level wizard apprentices cannot be described as a strong man bullying a child.
It's basically a fully armed knight versus an unarmed child!
There won't be any surprises in the result! After thousands of years of inheritance, the Russell family probably didn't know how powerful wizards were.
Otherwise, they would never do such a ridiculous thing as uniting a group of third-level wizard apprentices to fight against wizards.
Only those who have witnessed the power of wizards would understand that such actions are nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The master doesn't even need to show up, the two secret puppets are enough to beat those clowns to a pulp.
Carolina was naturally aware of this, so she pursed her lips, said nothing more, and turned away.
Watching her go away, the Red Widow's smile slowly faded and she sneered.
No matter how long they worked together, she still couldn't stand this pretentious woman.
