Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 141

Starlight Calendar 1256, Spring Dawn Month (March).

After three months of settling, Xieman and Kore had basically stabilized their realms and mastered the relevant formation arrangement techniques for opening up magic plant gardens.

Su Nan then issued orders to them in the form of missions, instructing them to go to selected locations to open up new magic plant gardens.

Considering the convenience of operations, Su Nan also allowed them to select a number of apprentices from the base to assist them in completing the task.

The next day after taking on the mission, the two of them set off with their teams in a flurry of activity, heading for other provinces of the duchy.

After transferring the work of opening up magic plant gardens, Su Nan’s workload was immediately reduced.

After creating four Death Knell Marks, he stopped using the Death Knell Striker’s blood to create bloodline marks and began to focus on increasing the Death Knell Striker’s bloodline concentration.

After being messed around for a while, the Death Knell Striker had obediently submitted to Su Nan, actively cooperating with his various experiments, allowing him to set up some little tricks in its body.

The so-called little tricks were actually a high-level rune gem.

Su Nan embedded the gem in the Death Knell Striker’s head. As long as he moved his mind, he could immediately detonate the high-level rune gem, instantly shattering the Death Knell Striker’s head.

He wasn’t being overly cautious. The Death Knell Striker was, after all, a savage beast. Even though it was docile now, there was no telling when it might betray him.

Especially after awakening its divine energy, the Death Knell Striker’s strength would inevitably increase significantly. If he didn’t have some means of control, it might cause big trouble later.

After all, he couldn’t keep an eye on the Death Knell Striker all the time.

Raising the bloodline of an ancient beast was much more difficult than raising the bloodline of a sub-dragon.

According to the experimental notes left by Wu Ge, the source of the Death Knell Striker’s bloodline was an ancient beast called the Sisihaiyichong.

The Magic Cube’s information showed that the Death Knell Striker’s current bloodline concentration was 32.49%.

However, it took Su Nan half a month to raise the Death Knell Striker’s bloodline concentration by 0.04%.

“If it takes 100% to make the Death Knell Striker awaken its divine energy and become a Sisihaiyichong, then it will take a very long time.”

Su Nan frowned and pondered, thinking that he should perhaps try a different approach.

“If I directly synthesize the blood, can I give birth to divine energy?”

“Worth a try!”

Su Nan decided to save the blood drawn from the Death Knell Striker from now on. When he had accumulated enough, he would directly synthesize it into Sisihaiyichong bloodline and see if he could give birth to divine energy. RΑɴỐΒĚS

If it worked, he wouldn’t have to waste a long time increasing bloodline concentration.

After all, the Death Knell Striker wasn’t his magical companion. If its strength became too strong, it would be harder to suppress. It would be better if he could maintain its current strength level.

“The bloodline concentration of the Infiltrator is about to break through 40%.”

Su Nan had not neglected the increase in the bloodline concentration of the Infiltrator.

However, without the fusion of high-concentration sub-dragon blood and dragon blood, the Infiltrator’s bloodline concentration increased very slowly.

If there were no other external factors, Su Nan estimated that it would take at least seven or eight years to make the Infiltrator’s bloodline evolve into a true dragon bloodline.

“Although I’ve asked Kei to help find sub-dragons and dragons, it’s still a question of whether or not we can find suitable sub-dragons and dragons in the current situation of the Starlight Continent.”

There were definitely still low-level sub-dragons on the Starlight Continent.

But it was difficult to say about high-level sub-dragons and dragons.

Perhaps the probability of finding them in the Underworld was higher.

However, Su Nan’s forces in the Underworld were just beginning to take shape. They were not yet strong enough to carry out a large-scale search, so he could only gradually expand his territory. Once his forces were strong enough, he would then search for high-level sub-dragons and dragons.

Time flies, and time passes quickly.

In an instant, it was Summer Ridge Month (June).

On the day of his 24th birthday, Su Nan finally gathered all the magic mithril needed to refine a mithril Magic Puppet.

Looking at the magic mithril ingots piled up in the Puppet Factory, a happy smile appeared on his face.

“I can finally refine it.”

Su Nan took a deep breath and began to refine.

Two months ago, his Puppetry Refining had already reached level 5, more than enough to refine a mithril Magic Puppet.

Constructing the Magic Puppet’s body, inscribing enchanted runes, stabilizing spells, attaching magical properties... The entire process took three days.

When Su Nan finally stopped and took a long breath, there was a massive object on the workbench.

Under the light of the bright magic stone lamp, the mithril Magic Puppet was dark red throughout, shining with a cold metallic luster. Just looking at it gave people a heavy sense of oppression, making it appear unusually strong and mighty.

Su Nan then embedded the Soul Core into the socket in the Magic Puppet’s chest, completing the final step.

As dazzling light flashed from the mithril Magic Puppet’s entire body, a strange life force suddenly appeared in the massive object.

Buzz!

Next June, the first cohort of students would be graduating.

According to the rules, students had to pass the graduation exam to graduate successfully.

In view of this, Moritz, as the dean, had proposed several forms of assessment and specially submitted them to Su Nan for his review.

“It’s been three years already.”

Su Nan sighed slightly.

With the ample supply of Dragonblood Fruits, the students at the Dragonheart Knight Academy were progressing very quickly.

The second-year students basically all had the strength of Probationary Knights.

Twenty-two of the third-year students had successfully advanced to Knight.

By next Summer Ridge Month, it was expected that all 500 graduates would be graduating as Knights.

This was a remarkable achievement for any country.

The Starlight Continent had never seen such a systematic institution for training knights.

“It seems that the Knight Guard will soon welcome its first batch of members.”

Su Nan smiled in satisfaction, then his expression turned thoughtful.

Xieman and Kore’s promotions were a key turning point.

It meant that the base’s cultivation and accumulation had reached the moment of thick accumulation and thin release.

Starting with these two, more and more students would successively be promoted to second-rank Mage Apprentices.

Second-rank Mage Apprentices already possessed considerable combat strength and could truly participate in his plans for the development of his forces.

In the surface world, the Duchy of Starlight was currently in a period of stable development and there would be no wars in the short term.

But in the Underworld, it was at the key juncture of starting to expand outward. It was foreseeable that it would soon enter a period of rapid expansion. It was precisely at this time that a large number of personnel were needed.

These second-rank Mage Apprentices could just participate in this expansion.

It would also be a kind of training for them.

Although he did not agree with the cruel, parasitic way of cultivation of black wizards, Su Nan did not want to cultivate a group of hothouse flowers.

Truly powerful wizards were never academics. They were knowledgeable and proficient in combat.

After all, both resource collection and adventurous exploration inevitably involved combat and killing.

“The newly established Knight Guard can be combined with the second-rank Mage Apprentices to explore the surrounding area.”

“Otherwise, with just the current strength of the Star Alliance, we still have too few people.”

Star Alliance was the name Su Nan had given to his forces in the Underworld.

From now on, the Ghost Lake, Matou, and Ossen would no longer be presented as separate entities, but would all be known collectively as the Star Alliance.

The Star Alliance had just been established, with its main force being various Puppets. There were very few members who had true subjective initiative, only the vampire and manticore races, and their combined number was less than 400.

Whether it was exploring the surrounding area or expanding outward, relying solely on Puppets would not be enough. Subjectively active subordinates were also indispensable.

There were too few people who could be used, and many things could not be carried out.

That was why Su Nan wanted the second-rank Mage Apprentices from the base to participate.

This would not only increase the number of available personnel, but also balance out the vampires and manticores, preventing them from developing any wrong thoughts after a long period of time.

After pondering for a moment, Su Nan had a plan in mind. He put the report aside, took a piece of paper, and began to write.

Since he had decided to have the Knight Guard participate in the expansion of his Underworld forces, he needed to get them accustomed to and familiar with the Underworld.

The graduation exam was an excellent opportunity.

About half an hour later, Su Nan had finished writing. He called Carolina over and gave her the rough outline of the graduation exam, asking her to contact Moritz and be responsible for making a detailed plan.

After Carolina left, Su Nan took another piece of paper and wrote the four characters ‘Magic Rune Construct’ on it.

He had acquired the knowledge of Magic Rune Constructs from the Mysterious Wooden Hut.

It was a special enchanted rune that combined magical tattoos with enchanted weapons. It was not very useful for Mage Apprentices, but it could greatly improve the combat strength of knights.

Su Nan’s original idea of creating a Knight Guard was inspired by Magic Rune Constructs.

Now that the Knight Guard was about to take shape, the forging of Magic Rune Constructs should be put on the agenda.

“The strength of junior and intermediate knights is not enough in the dangerous Underworld. If there are Magic Rune Constructs, the Knight Guard will be able to perform better.”

A set of the lowest level 1 Magic Rune Construct was enough to enhance the strength of a junior knight to the level of a peak knight, close to the level of a Great Knight.

As long as there were enough Magic Rune Constructs, the Knight Guard would soon become a powerful armed force!
