Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 127

The end of the Frostfall Moon, the combined forces of the Shining Light Territory and the White Tower Province had finally completed their war preparations.

However, just as Kei and the White Tower Duke were preparing to launch the final attack, an unexpected visitor suddenly came knocking.

“Evans?”

In the council hall, Su Nan listened to Kei’s words, stunned for a moment.

“That’s right.”

Kei and the White Tower Duke exchanged a glance, their expressions a bit strange.

“When we first received the letter, we also suspected that he might be planning some kind of conspiracy, but the people we sent have already confirmed it. The person there is indeed Evans, the legendary figure of the royal family.”

The White Tower Duke nodded in agreement: “I’ve seen the portraits sent up from below, and it’s definitely Lord Evans. His appearance is exactly the same as it was fifty years ago.”

Su Nan questioned: “That’s strange, what is he doing in our territory? And why did he specifically ask to see me?”

Even a three-ring legendary knight, alone, couldn’t fight against thousands.

On the combined forces’ territory, Kei could easily dispatch the Magic Puppet Legion and the Blackrock Cavalry to surround Evans. As long as they were willing to pay the price, they could use a sea of people to overwhelm him.

After all, legendary knights are not wizard apprentices. They are only strong in combat, lacking a variety of extraordinary methods. Once trapped in a siege, they would still die.

Not to mention, Su Nan was here.

“We don’t know his intentions, but I’ve already sent the Magic Puppet Legion to surround the tavern where Evans is staying.”

Kei looked at Su Nan with a grave expression.

“What do you think? Should we go and meet him, or should we just take the opportunity to kill Evans?”

As long as they eliminated Evans, the biggest uncertainty in this war would disappear, and victory would be within their grasp.

Su Nan thought for a moment and shook his head: “Forget it, I’ll go and meet him.”

He had originally planned to meet with Evans to see how he had extended his lifespan.

Besides, he was also curious about why Evans wanted to see him.

Seeing that Su Nan had made his decision, Kei and the White Tower Duke didn’t say anything more.

After all, they were on their own territory. Even if Evans had some kind of scheme, they had nothing to worry about.

Arriving at the tavern where Evans was staying, it was already surrounded by layers of stone magic puppets and Blackrock cavalry, even steel magic puppets.

It could be said that Evans was now trapped, unable to escape.

Su Nan became even more curious about Evans’s intentions. This legendary figure couldn’t be here to commit suicide, could he?

Pushing open the tavern door, the tavern was empty. Apart from a plain-looking man of about forty sitting at the table in the middle, there was no one else. rα????ΟbЁŝ

His gaze fell on the man, and Su Nan’s eyes flashed with surprise.

In his perception, the man’s vitality was vigorous and surging, clearly in his prime, making it hard to imagine that this was a ‘man’ over one hundred and thirty years old.

It was clear that Evans was far from the end of his life.

“I’ve heard a lot about you, Lord Su Nan. Thank you for accepting my request to meet,” Evans stood up and smiled slightly, pointing to the seat opposite him.

“Would you mind having a drink with me?”

Su Nan nodded and sat down opposite Evans. Two mugs of ale were placed on the table.

Judging from the color, it was just the most common ale in the tavern.

Su Nan had no intention of drinking. He went straight to the point: “Lord Evans, what is it that you want?”

Evans didn’t mind, smiling and saying: “I want to make a deal with you.”

“What kind of deal?”

“I know that the royal family is doomed to lose this war, so I’m here to ask you to preserve a bit of the Kessler family’s bloodline. In return, I can provide clues about the Starlight Tower.”

The Starlight Tower?

Su Nan’s heart jumped, and he was genuinely shocked.

He never expected that Evans would be here for this, nor that he would have clues about the Starlight Tower.

Considering Evans’s royal bloodline identity, Su Nan had a faint understanding in his heart.

“The Starlight Tower is indeed related to the royal family.”

Evans smiled slightly: “You could say that.”

“Forget it, I don’t want to die.”

“You wizards are all a bunch of troublesome fellows, with endless means and hidden cards.”

“I was already very surprised when Avy could kill a wizard back then.”

“But even Avy died at your hands. I know I’m no match for you. It’s better to make a deal with you than to struggle to the death and drag the entire Kessler family down with me.”

“Wizards believe in the principle of equivalent exchange. In my opinion, the Starlight Tower should still be quite attractive to you.”

Su Nan raised an eyebrow: “You know quite a lot about wizards.”

“Over the years, I’ve traveled and interacted with a few wizards, learning a lot about them from them,” Evans shrugged.

“Oh?” Su Nan was immediately interested, “Where did you meet them?”

Evans smiled: “Is that part of the deal as well?”

Su Nan pondered for a moment and nodded: “Fine, I agree.”

“As long as you hand me the key to the Starlight Tower and tell me about those wizards, I can promise to protect one member of the Kessler family with Kessler blood, no older than five years old.”

Evans was invigorated: “Deal, but we need a sworn oath contract!”

“It seems you really know wizards well.”

Su Nan took a deep look at Evans, but did not refuse.

Making a sworn oath contract was also beneficial to him. It could guarantee that the information Evans gave him was true, especially about the Starlight Tower.

As long as it was a living being with a soul, they could make a sworn oath contract.

It took some time, but the two of them made a sworn oath contract.

At the moment the contract was concluded, a look of relief appeared on Evans’s face, as if he had been relieved of a burden.

It seemed that he really disliked such things.

Come to think of it, if he hadn’t, with Evans, a three-ring legendary knight, as long as he was willing to stand up and support the royal family, the Starry Sky Dukedom wouldn’t have seen so many ambitious people in recent years.

A powerful top-level combat force is no less than a stabilizing force for a country!

After that, Evans took out a stone from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Su Nan.

“This is the key to enter the Starlight Tower.”

Su Nan picked up the stone and examined it carefully. It was actually a stone carved into the shape of a magic inscription. The material was somewhat like jade, giving off a warm, cool feeling when held in the palm of his hand.

The surface was engraved with dense and intricate magic runes. Even Su Nan, whose skill in [Magic Item Creation] had already reached level 4, found it dazzling and difficult to understand.

It could be seen that the person who made this ‘key’ had far surpassed him in the field of [Magic Item Creation].

“It’s at least a level six or seven.”

Su Nan thought to himself.

“The first time I entered the Starlight Tower was forty-eight years ago. The second time was twenty-eight years ago. So the Starlight Tower should appear again in twelve years.”

Su Nan rubbed the inscribed stone, glanced at Evans, and said with a playful expression: “You have more than one key, don’t you?”

Even if there was a promise to his brother, he didn’t believe that Evans would be willing to give up the only means to enter the Starlight Tower.

If he were a person who valued family ties so much, he wouldn’t have done something so ruthless, sacrificing others for the sake of preserving a little family bloodline.

Evans chuckled and did not admit, but the answer was clear.

Su Nan didn’t press further, instead bringing up the previous topic.

“Tell me about the wizards you’ve met.”

Evans nodded and began to speak slowly:

“Actually, I’ve only met three wizards in total.”

“Two of them I met in the Golden Empire and the Thornflower Dukedom. Although they didn’t say it explicitly, I could tell they had aristocratic manners, and it’s highly likely that they were from the royal family or a great noble house.”

“The third wizard I met in the underground world.”

“You’ve been to the underground world?” Su Nan’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“It was a coincidence,” Evans recalled, “I once followed a very rare beast on a journey, and I got lost in the mountains. I accidentally entered the underground world and was attacked by a terrifying monster. Luckily, that wizard saved me.”

“He said his name was ‘Traveler.'”
