The sun shines on the blue sea, reflecting a sparkling wave.
Three huge metal ships broke through the waves, sailed against the wind on the sea, chasing a dragon whale.
In the Rainbow Sea, the dragon whale is one of the powerful creatures at the top of the food chain, but in front of the three giant metal ships, it can only flee in panic.
Its huge body was covered with wounds caused by artillery fire, and blood flowed out of them, leaving bright red trails in the sea as it swam.
Swish! A thick beam of light shot out like a sharp arrow, instantly passing through a distance of hundreds of meters and piercing through the dragon whale's head.
The body of this powerful sea monster trembled violently, causing huge waves, and then it floated on the sea surface motionless.
The sound of conch shells was heard, and a group of deep-sea Nagas emerged from the water, holding blades and began to dissect the dragon whale.
High in the sky, Tanner watched this scene with interest.
After knowing that he had no hope of leaving Starlight Continent in the short term, he was depressed for a few days and then accepted the reality.
After that, the traveling wizard's curiosity got the better of him, and he began to explore all over the continent. After touring the surface world, he went to the underground world, until recently when he came to the Rainbow Sea.
What he saw and heard during this period also gave Tanner a deeper understanding of the Star Alliance.
After learning about the situation of the Starlight Continent in the past thousand years, he felt sincere admiration and amazement at Sunan's ability to single-handedly create the Star Alliance, a wizard force.
This is simply a miracle!
In a plane with scarce resources and elemental desert, even becoming a wizard is extremely difficult. It is incredible that Sunan can not only be promoted to a second-level wizard, but also create a qualified wizard force! "I didn't expect that such a genius could be cultivated in an ordinary single plane!"
Tanner secretly sighed that the universe is so vast that it is full of wonders.
"The Star Alliance seems to be easy to talk to. Why don't we just practice here for a while and go out to explore after the plane is restored?"
To explore the planes you must have enough strength to guarantee yourself, otherwise if you mistakenly enter a dangerous plane, it is easy to lose your life.
Just take this opportunity to concentrate on improving your strength, and then explore to your heart's content later.
"It just so happens that the Star Alliance has enough structural potions and is willing to trade with me."
Constructing potions is not Tanner's strong point. In the past, he traded constructed potions with various wizard forces.
However, the construction potion has always been in short supply, and those wizard forces are also very stingy in transactions. They are not as domineering as the Star Alliance. As long as they can provide valuable information, they can exchange it without limit.
Thinking about it this way, being trapped in the Starlight Continent doesn't seem to be something that is difficult to accept.
Wizard tower, workshop.
The slender silver needle floats in mid-air, slowly carving the final stroke on the surface of the gem at a delicate angle.
As the brush strokes came down, the intricate patterns on the gem's surface closed instantly, and after a faint light flashed, the entire gem suddenly took on an indescribable charm.
Looking at the successfully refined engraved gem, a smile appeared on Su Nan's lips.
After more than a year of intermittent work, we finally completed the improvements to the engraved gems.
Due to the power limitation of the puppet itself, the number of synthesized engraved gems has increased, but not by much, only increasing to sixty-three.
However, the power after the explosion is more than enough to kill a first-level wizard.
Even a second-level wizard would suffer serious damage if he was not careful.
"Let's just call it the Self-Destructing Gem."
Sunan immediately made a decision that all the puppets of the Witch Hunting Corps and the wizard-level puppets of the Starlight Wizard Tower must be installed with self-destructive gems.
Once you encounter a strong enemy that you cannot defeat, just detonate the self-destructive gem in your body and die together with the enemy. At the very least, you have to take a good bite and never become a battle loss in vain.
"The number of puppets in the witch hunting army is approaching 200. In another 70 to 80 years, we should be able to achieve our goal."
Thanks to the development of sub-magic technology, the productivity level of the Starlight Continent has made a great leap forward, and the income of the Star Alliance has also skyrocketed.
It’s a pity that resources like rare metals do not increase with the level of productivity. If it weren’t for material limitations, the Witch Hunting Corps would have completed its original formation goal long ago.
"Sub-magic energy technology has become popular, and the next step is to try to promote magic energy technology."
Sunan glanced at the pile of secondary magic stones in the corner of the workshop.
Although a tiered mining method is adopted, the Star Alliance still has an oversupply of secondary magic stones.
After discussing with Liz, Sunan decided to take out a part of it to synthesize magic stones, which would be used to promote magic technology in Jinyan Province as a preheating measure.
Once the plane blockade is lifted and new magic stone veins are found, the Starlight Continent will be able to increase the promotion of magic technology as soon as possible and enter the magic era from the sub-magic era at the fastest speed.
"The plane blockade will not begin until around the year 2000 in the Astral Calendar, but the Dark Throne will arrive more than a decade earlier."
Su Nan recalled that the time when the first group of wizards from the Dark Throne invaded the Starlight Continent seemed to be in 1983 of the Starlight Calendar.
As for which month it was, he had no idea.
But Sunan didn't care.
As long as the Dark Throne enters the Starlight Continent and uses magic, the Eye of the Stars will be able to capture the fluctuations of energy particles and lock its position in the first time.
So all we need to know is the approximate time of their invasion.
Shaking his head, Sunan collected his thoughts and continued to make the self-destructive gem.
The Star Alliance currently has few wizard-level puppets, only about three hundred in total, so the number of self-destructive gems to be produced is not large.
After spending more than half a month making self-destructive gems and installing them on all wizard-level puppets, Sunan devoted himself to condensing his spirit.
In order to improve the efficiency of wizards in collecting elemental crystal dust, Sunan allowed wizards who accepted collection tasks to temporarily hire a legion of golems at a lower cost to kill the elemental spirits.
Thanks to this, the amount of elemental crystal dust collected by wizards in recent years has skyrocketed.
However, doubts about why Sunan attaches so much importance to elemental crystal dust are also growing among wizards.
Although Liz was also a little confused, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she helped Sunan suppress the question.
Sunan ignored what was happening in the outside world. With sufficient supply of divine energy, his mental concentration increased much faster than expected.
The time spent in cultivation always passes quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it is the year 1930 in the Starlight Calendar.
With the Star Alliance's unremitting efforts in allocating resources, the Witch Hunting Corps was finally formed.
"Three hundred master-touch puppets and fifty secret puppets. This number of wizard-level puppets should be enough to deal with the advance team of the Dark Throne."
In the study, Su Nan said with a smile after reading the document.
Liz glanced at him and said, "How do you sound like you know how many people are in the Dark Throne's advance team?"
"I guess. If the plane barrier is not completely repaired, the Dark Throne will enter the Starlight Continent in advance. The number of people and strength level will be greatly restricted."
Su Nan answered casually.
In fact, he not only knew how many people were in the Dark Throne's advance team, but he also knew their specific strength.
It's just that he can't be sure whether what happens in the future will be the same as he remembers.
After all, with the addition of him, a butterfly flapping its wings, the current situation of the Starlight Continent is completely different from what he remembered, and it is very likely to change in the future.
Liz nodded without asking any further questions.
In fact, she also agreed with what Su Nan said.
With the current strength of the Star Alliance, unless the Dark Throne sends out dozens of second-level wizards or third-level wizards at once, it will not be able to pose any threat to the Star Alliance.
However, neither option is very realistic.
The unrepaired plane barrier cannot possibly allow a third-level wizard to pass through, nor can it allow dozens of second-level wizards to pass through at the same time.
Moreover, if you think about it more deeply, the Dark Throne is not aware of the current situation of the Starlight Continent. It probably thinks that there are no wizards here, so it will not send a very powerful wizard lineup.
By the time the Dark Throne realizes the true strength of the Star Alliance, it may be too late.
"In another fifty or sixty years, the Dark Throne's advance team should arrive. The Star Alliance must prepare early. I will have to go into seclusion next, so the specific arrangements will be left to you. If you find someone from the Dark Throne, tell me immediately."
"I understand." Liz nodded.
She remained very calm about Sunan's plans to retreat again for the final sprint.
Having witnessed the terrifying speed at which Sunan's strength improved, she is now used to it, or rather, numb to it.
If Sunan's strength improved slowly, she would be surprised.
Returning to the top floor of the wizard tower, Sunan saw Yinlong lying beside the elemental pool, looking drowsy.
Amy lay on its back, licking her paws out of boredom.
It was not until it saw Su Nan that it perked up, leaped over ten meters in an instant, and appeared out of thin air on Su Nan's shoulder.
"Meow, Sunan, why did you come just now? Yinlong and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
The crisp shouting woke up Yinlong. It opened its eyes and saw Su Nan. It came over and rubbed its head against its master, letting out a low growl.
Su Nan smiled and patted Yinlong's head.
Dragons have the characteristic of becoming stronger as they age, and with Sunan's long-term supply of synthetic dragon blood, Hidden Dragon's strength has increased far beyond that of ordinary dragons. Now its strength is no less than that of a first-level crystallized wizard.
In the entire Star Alliance, apart from Sunan, Yinlong is the strongest.
"Why did you suddenly think of looking for me? Is there anything?" Su Nan asked Amy.
The little guy knew he was busy and seldom came to disturb him.
I spend most of my time with Yinlong, and occasionally go to see Lizhe.
As people who had experienced the wizarding heyday a thousand years ago, Liz and Amy had a lot in common.
For Amy, Liz's appearance gave her a friend to chat with, and the little girl was very happy about it.
Liz was also very interested in this magical pet, which had almost no fighting power but could travel through space. She was even more curious about Amy's mysterious master, and often took the opportunity of chatting to inquire about information.
Therefore, the ghost and the cat got along quite well.
"Is the dimensional barrier of Starlight Continent about to be restored, meow?" Amy asked expectantly.
"Who told you that?"
"Sheman told me meow!"
"Indeed."
Sunan did not hide it. He knew very well that Amy was actually eager to see her master.
"In about seventy years, the plane barrier will be completely repaired, and then the Starlight Continent will be restored to its appearance a thousand years ago."
Amy suddenly became excited: "Can I meet the master now, meow?"
"Of course." Sunan nodded with a smile, "Even if your master doesn't come back to Starlight Continent, I will help you find your master."
Amy has helped him a lot, so he will try his best to help Amy realize this wish.
"The master will definitely come back to find Amy's cat!" Amy said without hesitation. The little guy still firmly believes that his master did not abandon him on purpose, and there must be a compelling reason behind it.
Su Nan smiled and echoed the conversation.
There were many magical items left at the place where Amy was sleeping. Obviously, she didn't have time to take them away in such a hurry, so the little guy's guess was still possible.
However, Amy's master is a descendant of a true spirit, and is quite powerful. How urgent must it be for her master to leave without even taking her pet with him? Or did Amy's master deliberately leave her behind to prevent her from getting into danger?
Sunan didn't worry too much about it. He would know once he found Amy's owner.
After getting confirmation from Sunan, Amy was in extremely high spirits and took Yinlong off to have fun somewhere.
Su Nan smiled and didn't care.
As a giant dragon, Hidden Dragon does not need to practice. Apart from sleeping and occasional blood fusion, the rest of the time he is just sitting there doing nothing. It is a good thing to have Amy to play with him, so that he doesn't always go and bully the sub-dragon species in Area 1 and Area 2.
"Tower Spirit No. 1, scan the status of the wizard tower."
[Received the instruction, started scanning. Scanning completed. ]
A three-dimensional model soon appeared before our eyes.
After the construction of the Starlight Wizard Tower was completed, due to material and funding limitations, Sunan did not carry out drastic upgrades and renovations, but some improvements in details are still being carried out one after another.
For example, the synthesis upgrade of the floating ring greatly enhances the mobility of the wizard tower.
There are also improvements to the Spell Turret Type II and Dissociation Cannon Type II, mainly to reduce energy consumption.
With Talling 2 as the experimental assistant and a lot of suggestions from Liz, the improved experiment achieved considerable results.
The Starlight Wizard Tower already had an excessive number of Type II Spell Turrets, totaling three hundred, which was a considerable burden on energy.
However, after the improvement, the energy consumption of 300 Spell Turret Type II for one round of salvo firing is less than 10%, and the burden is greatly reduced.
In addition, the energy consumption of the Dissociation Cannon Type II has been reduced to less than 8%, which is about one-third less than before, a significant improvement.
"After the plane blockade is lifted, we will start collecting the manufacturing processes for plasma cannons and pulse cannons to improve our long-range strike firepower."
Sunan waved his hand to disperse the three-dimensional model, sat down cross-legged next to the element pool, took out the element crystal core and began to absorb it.
His spiritual concentration has exceeded 70%. According to the current progress, he will be able to break through to the second level of crystallization in another 70 to 80 years at most.
By then, even if the Dark Throne really found a way to send a third-level wizard over, he would not be afraid at all.
Now everything is ready, and we just have to wait for the enemy to arrive. (End of this chapter)
