Starlight Wizard Tower, Workshop.
Sunan put the [Black Thunder] he had just made into the Rubik's Cube. As the synthesis interface flashed, a brand new second-level magical weapon came out.
"The third one."
Su Nan took out Hei Ting and put it into the space ring. Looking at the three black spear heads engraved with runes inside, a smile appeared on his face.
Including the three [Forbidden Zones], he now has a total of six second-level magical weapons.
It was difficult for an ordinary second-level wizard to even obtain a second-level magical weapon, and it was extremely rare for someone like him to own six at the same time.
Even descendants of true spirits are not so extravagant!
However, the three pieces of Black Thunder had consumed all the Thunder Stones he had collected recently. If he wanted to make more, he would have to enter the Thunder Elemental Plane again.
However, Sunan did not intend to do so. Three pieces of Black Thunder were enough for the time being.
Turning around and walking to the table in the corner, Su Nan glanced at the table filled with documents.
In addition to synthesizing magical weapons, he has also been studying the alchemical body recently.
The craftsmanship knowledge that Liz provided was very detailed. In addition to how to transform the alchemical body and the required materials, it also included eight types of alchemical engravings, some of which made Su Nan very envious.
For example, the [Spiritual Capacity] can store a large amount of mental power in advance and use it to instantly replenish the mental power consumed during war.
According to the description in the information, [Spiritual Capacity] can hold up to the total mental power of a second-level gasification wizard.
When fighting with an opponent of the same level, a wizard with the [Spirit Storage] mark is almost equivalent to having twice the mental power of the opponent. The advantage is self-evident.
Another example is [Talent Specialization] which can greatly enhance the effects of talent abilities.
After being activated, it can temporarily enhance the effect of talent ability, and the increase depends on the user's own level.
For example, for a second-level wizard, the degree of enhancement is generally between 30% and 50%.
This is undoubtedly a staggering increase.
Take Sunan himself as an example. With two super talents, he is able to fight against a second-level crystallized wizard without using magical weapons and engraved gems.
If you have this [Talent Specialization] imprint, you can easily suppress the second-level crystallized wizard.
Add to that the magical weapons and engraved gems, and as long as you’re not facing a third-level wizard, you don’t have to worry about encountering an opponent!
After reading the information provided by Liz, Sunan made a decision almost immediately that the two alchemical imprints of [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 use various rare materials to transform the body, allowing the body to have the same magical plasticity as a scroll, and to add various enchantment properties to the body.
It's a long process.
In order to avoid causing damage to the body, the transformation process must be subtle and gradual, taking at least 20 to 30 years, and at most 40 to 50 years.
If it were just that, Su Nan wouldn't think it was a big deal.
The lifespan of a second-level wizard is generally over three thousand years, and it is not difficult to extend it to five thousand years through various means.
For a second-level wizard, forty or fifty years passes in the blink of an eye.
The real difficulty lies in the materials.
The transformation of the alchemical body requires materials including hundreds of rare resources such as arcane, mithril, star steel, and sea silver.
The most important material is Arcanite.
This is a rare metal that is similar to mithril, with extremely excellent ductility and magical conductivity, but is much more precious than mithril.
In all these years in the Starlight Continent, Sunan has never discovered Aojin.
In other words, this is a material that is impossible to obtain at this stage.
"The transformation process of the alchemical body is quite special. The synthesis of the magic cube will not work. It seems that we can only research the substitute of arcane."
Su Nan quickly came up with an idea in his mind.
When it comes to researching new materials, his advantage over other wizards is that he has the Rubik's Cube as his golden finger.
Materials with target properties can be synthesized through various attempts, and the research difficulty is relatively lower.
However, it is not easy to develop a substitute for a precious material like orgin. In addition, some other rare materials that are equally difficult to obtain and need substitutes to be developed, Sunan estimates that it will take a lot of time.
"Take it step by step. There's no rush anyway."
After coming out of the workshop, Sunan was teleported to the study.
Learning fourth-level spells has become part of his daily routine.
Compared with third-ring spells, fourth-ring spells are much more powerful and difficult to learn.
Even with the golden finger, it takes Sunan an average of three or four months to master a fourth-ring spell.
Even he is like this, so one can imagine how fast an ordinary second-level wizard would learn a fourth-level spell.
Fortunately, the lifespan of a second-level wizard is long enough, otherwise many second-level wizards may not be able to learn a few fourth-level spells until the end of their lives.
In terms of practicality, there are quite a few fourth-ring spells that are eye-catching.
For example, blocking the space and prohibiting all teleportation spells such as [Dimension Anchor].
A [Secondary Spell Invalidation Barrier] that can block the effects of zero-ring to three-ring spells.
[Heavy Fog] creates a thick fog that blocks vision and slows movement.
There are also attack-type skills such as [Aiva Black Tentacles], [Ice Storm], [Roar], etc.
Sunan plans to learn all the four-ring spells to be prepared for any eventuality.
He's a fast learner anyway.
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 technology also spread at an astonishing speed in the southeast region of the continent.
As the concentration of energy particles on the continent gradually increases, the speed at which secondary magic stone veins are cultivated and formed is also gradually accelerating.
In some energy-rich ground vein nodes, the formation speed of secondary magic stone veins is astonishingly fast.
As of the 1436th year of the Starlight Calendar, the Star Alliance already had one small secondary magic stone vein and two medium-sized secondary magic stone veins under mining, and the output of secondary magic stones had increased five or six times compared to previous years.
The increase in the production of secondary magic stones has also led to the rapid popularization of secondary magic technology.
"This is the development of magic technology in the Southeast Region in the past ten years."
Liz placed a document in front of Sunan.
"The situation is much better than we expected. The income of the Southeast Region has been growing over the past decade. Last year's income was more than double that of ten years ago. At this rate, if the entire Starlight Continent promotes sub-magic technology, the annual income of the Star Alliance will definitely exceed 50 million gold coins."
Sunan flipped through the document 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 take about two hundred years."
"So long?"
"After all, the remaining mineral veins are large, so 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 the promotion of sub-magic technology, and the rest were all developed into large veins.
Liz said: "Although it takes a long time to wait, once all the large mineral veins are formed, the output will be enough for the entire Starlight Continent."
Sunan actually agreed with this.
Although the Southeast Region's secondary magic technology is still in its early stages of development and the demand for secondary magic stones has not yet reached its peak, the output of one small vein and two medium-sized veins is enough to barely supply the entire Southeast Region's demand for secondary magic stones, which is enough to show how considerable the vein's output is.
When the remaining thirty or so large mineral 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 an idea of the development details of secondary magic technology and secondary magic stone veins. He put the document aside and then asked about another matter.
"How is Starlight Academy doing lately?"
"not bad."
Liz stretched out her hand and a new document fell in front of Sunan.
"Perhaps it is because of the increase in the concentration of energy particles that more and more people have the qualifications to become wizards in recent years."
"Currently, the total number of students at Starlight Academy has exceeded 23,000, including 288 third-level wizard apprentices."
Sunan nodded with satisfaction.
This number is already extremely exaggerated. Even if all the wizard apprentices in the Starlight Continent over the past hundred years were added together, the number might not be this high.
It is also foreseeable that the number of new students entering the university each year 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 reach a balance.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should remain around the horizontal line.
By that time, there will be at least 100,000 students in Starlight Academy.
This has basically reached the average number of wizard apprentices that a medium-sized human plane can produce.
The reason why large wizarding forces like them have millions of wizard apprentices is because they control multiple human planes and have a broad source of students.
"What about the number of wizards?" Sunan asked later.
"Currently, there are seven."
Su Nan raised his eyebrows. He remembered that there were five wizards before.
"Who are the two new promotions?"
"Sherman and Corey."
This answer was really beyond Su Nan's expectations.
"When were they promoted?"
"Half a year ago." Liz said, "They originally wanted to report your promotion to you, but you were either in the training room or locked in the workshop, so they never found the opportunity."
Sunan was speechless.
It seems that he is not a very qualified teacher, and he even realized such a big thing as his disciple's promotion to a wizard too late.
"Yes, it seems that both of them are practicing well. As a teacher, I cannot treat them unfairly. I will ask them to come to the study room later."
Sunan paused and asked, "Where is Artil?"
Liz shook her head: "She doesn't have the talent. No matter how hard she tries, she won't be able to become a wizard through normal means."
Hearing that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in Li Ze's words, Su Nan asked with interest: "You mean, non-normal methods are okay?"
Liz didn't say anything, but just glanced at the code on the table in front of her.
Su Nan was slightly startled, then frowned.
"You want Artil to become a ghost like you, and then reshape his body?"
Liz said calmly: "Only in this way can Atil gain more time and have a glimmer of hope to be promoted to a wizard."
"But this method is not 100% successful. It's more like there's a high chance of death." Sunan frowned.
"I've asked Atil and she's willing to do it."
Su Nan was silent for a moment and sighed inwardly.
Normally, Artil doesn't seem to be obsessed with improving his strength, but I didn't expect that he is so obsessed with becoming a wizard that he is even willing to use such a method with a very high mortality rate just to get a chance of becoming a wizard.
Perhaps her usual behavior is just to cover up her loss and inferiority due to her lack of qualifications.
After a long silence, Sunan finally asked, "I'm curious, why are you willing to help Atil extract his soul and transform into a ghost?"
It was impossible for Artil to know Lise's experience. The matter of extracting souls and transforming ghosts could only have been told to her by Lise herself.
But given Liz's personality, it's hard to imagine her doing that.
Even now when I mentioned this matter to Sunan, I might have been asking him for Atil's help.
Even though Atil was only a third-level wizard apprentice, the resources needed to rebuild his body would not be as amazing as Liz's, but it would still be a considerable expense.
At least for an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice, the resources needed to rebuild the body are absolutely an astronomical figure that they cannot afford, and even the contribution points earned for hundreds of years cannot exchange for it.
Under normal circumstances, the Covenant would not pay such a high price for a third-level wizard apprentice who was not valuable enough.
Liz was silent for a moment, then said, "Her temperament is very much to my liking."
Su Nan burst out laughing.
Well, even wizards are not emotionless wooden beings.
Artil has been with Liz for so long, one helping her deal with various affairs, the other guiding her in her training from time to time, so it is not surprising that the two of them have developed some feelings for each other.
Artil was nominally his student, but in reality, he and Lise were more like teacher and student.
Thinking of this, Su Nan's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "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 you reshape your body, you will join the Star Alliance."
Li Ze's expression hesitated for a moment, she rolled her eyes at Su Nan, and finally nodded.
"Okay, I promise."
"Then it's settled. Atil's matter is in your hands. You can get whatever you need directly from the warehouse. If you are lucky enough to succeed, I will rebuild her body for her when the future plane barrier is completely repaired."
After finishing the discussion, Su Nan did not stay long and left the study room directly.
Watching Sunan's figure disappear, Liz shook her head and chuckled.
Having been in the Star Alliance for such a long time and witnessed its development potential, she had actually long had the idea of reshaping her body and joining the Star Alliance.
Even if this incident had not happened today, she would have brought it up in the future.
She knew that Su Nan had actually seen this, 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 Atir's request.
After all, he was his disciple.
The Covenant would certainly not pay a huge price for a third-level wizard apprentice.
But if that third-level wizard apprentice is a disciple of the Star Alliance's controller, then it would be different. (End of this chapter)
