Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 183: Base Transformation, Wizard Academy

# Chapter 183: Base Transformation, Wizard Academy

The study was silent. Only the soft sound of turning pages echoed faintly.

Carolaina and the Red Widow stood quietly before the desk, afraid to make a sound, lest they disturb the Southern Cross behind it.

However, the two women couldn’t help but steal glances at Southern Cross, their eyes sparkling with light.

When Southern Cross had said he was going to investigate the Starlight Tower, he had disappeared for two years. Even though he had made arrangements beforehand, the Star Alliance had managed to maintain stability and avoid major problems, but two years was a long time to be out of contact. Carolaina and the Red Widow couldn’t help but worry.

After all, they were well aware that the prosperity of the Star Alliance rested on the shoulders of Southern Cross alone. Without him, the entire alliance would crumble in an instant. This was a result they couldn’t accept.

Just when they were about to lose their patience and send people to search for Southern Cross, he finally returned.

And with him came news that shocked them to their core. Their master had become a full-fledged Wizard!

This wasn’t something he had told them. It was a rumor that had been circulating for some time. It was said that Southern Cross had successfully ascended to Wizardhood within the Starlight Tower, and upon his exit, had ruthlessly killed fourteen Third-Rank Sorcerer Apprentices of the Truth Council, claiming the Starlight Tower for himself.

At first, Carolaina and the Red Widow didn’t quite believe it. But when they saw Southern Cross with their own eyes and felt the aura emanating from him, an aura as deep and bottomless as the starry sky, completely different from before, the doubts in their hearts vanished instantly, replaced by overwhelming joy.

Years of experience within the Star Alliance had given them a deep understanding of Wizards, and they knew what a Wizard meant in the current Starlight Continent. If they had to use an analogy, it would be the only god in the Starlight Continent!

They couldn’t imagine anything that could withstand the power of a Wizard!

With a Wizard in their ranks, the Star Alliance’s march towards unifying the underworld, no, towards unifying the entire Starlight Continent, would be unstoppable! This was far grander and more exhilarating than their previous ambition of becoming the ‘Overlord of the Underworld’!

Thinking about this, the two women couldn’t help but tremble with excitement, their faces flushed, their gazes towards their master behind the desk filled with awe and admiration.

Southern Cross didn’t notice their subtle actions, focusing on reading the reports from the past two years. Because of the temporary halt in expansion, the Star Alliance had experienced little change in its territory over the past two years, only developing a dozen or so resource points.

Perhaps because of this, the Dark Elves had not sent anyone to harass them. The Star Alliance had enjoyed a rare period of peace and stability.

However, compared to the unchanged territory, the growth of the Star Alliance’s military power was quite impressive.

Regarding Magic Puppets, the Star Alliance had accumulated a large number of Stone Magic Puppets and Double-Blade Spiders over the past two years, enough to form two small Magic Puppet legions. As soon as Southern Cross filled the gaps with Iron Magic Puppets, Elite Iron Magic Puppets, and Elite Double-Blade Spiders, the Star Alliance would have two more small Magic Puppet legions.

But what surprised Southern Cross the most was the Magic Rune Knights.

After over ten years of development, the number of Magic Rune Knights had increased tenfold, reaching close to fifty thousand.

Unfortunately, the speed of creating Magic Rune Constructs couldn’t keep up with the growth of the Magic Rune Knights. Currently, only less than a third of the Magic Rune Knights were equipped with Magic Rune Constructs. This was an issue the Star Alliance needed to address urgently.

Once the equipment issue was resolved, the fully equipped Magic Rune Knights would become the Star Alliance’s second powerful force, equal to the Magic Puppet legions!

“First and Second-Rank Magic Rune Constructs can be manufactured by apprentices in the base. But Third-Rank and above, I have to do it myself,”

Southern Cross mused.

Thanks to the expansion of the Starfire Sect’s territory, the number of apprentices in the base had also increased rapidly in the past two years. The total number of apprentices now exceeded 500, reaching 524. Among them, there were over forty Second-Rank Sorcerer Apprentices. These were the workforce for manufacturing First and Second-Rank Magic Rune Constructs.

Southern Cross immediately decided to adjust task rewards, increasing the incentive for apprentices to manufacture First and Second-Rank Magic Rune Constructs.

As for Third-Rank Magic Rune Constructs, if he really didn’t have time to manufacture them, he could get them by combining First and Second-Rank Magic Rune Constructs. It would just cost more.

Also, due to the lack of Magic Rune Constructs, the number of Dragon Antelope Knights, the core force of the Magic Rune Knights, had stagnated.

However, the ranch had accumulated over 300 mature Dragon Antelope, and once the equipment was ready, the number of Dragon Antelope Knights could double immediately.

After reading the reports, Southern Cross had a good grasp of the Star Alliance’s development over the past two years. Overall, while there weren’t major problems in his absence, development in various aspects had been affected to some degree, and the overall improvement in strength had stagnated. But this loss of time was negligible compared to the gains he had made in the Starlight Tower.

Moreover, with his return, the Star Alliance was poised for explosive growth.

Closing the reports, Southern Cross looked up at Carolaina and the Red Widow. The two women instinctively straightened their posture.

“Once the two new Magic Puppet legions are formed, we will restart the expansion operation.”

“This time, we will target Spider City and prioritize exploration and expansion towards that direction.”

Carolaina and the Red Widow replied respectfully.

“Send people to investigate the situation in Spider City and gather intelligence.”

After giving another instruction, Southern Cross waved his hand, dismissing them.

After they left, he looked down at the base report on the desk, his expression thoughtful.

Since the establishment of the base, it had been running smoothly for nearly twenty years, providing him with significant assistance.

However, as his forces expanded, some shortcomings in the base began to manifest.

The most important one was the severe lack of knowledge transmission to the apprentices.

Southern Cross was extremely busy and had little time to teach apprentices.

When the number of apprentices was small, he could offer limited instruction through an exchange system. But later, as the number of apprentices increased, he removed this exchange option from the list to save time.

Currently, the apprentices in the base could only learn by reading books, which made their progress incredibly slow.

Considering that the number of apprentices joining the Star Alliance would only increase as the territory of the Starfire Sect expanded, it was time for the base to change.

Even before he went to the Starlight Tower, Southern Cross had already pondered this.

For example, he could separate the apprentice training function of the base, establishing a dedicated academy for training Sorcerer Apprentices.

Wizard Academies were essential for almost every Wizard force. They were their main channels for absorbing fresh blood.

To give the Star Alliance a broader scope for development, a Wizard Academy was necessary.

To establish a Wizard Academy, the most critical aspect was the teaching staff.

At first, Southern Cross considered inviting the members of the Mysterious Wooden Hut to join as academy mentors. But considering trust and acceptance issues, he put it on hold after much deliberation.

But now things were different. With his Wizard power and identity, he could easily suppress the likes of Staff and the others.

Plus, the appeal of Construction Potions and other resources would ensure their acceptance.

Once the teaching staff was secured, establishing the academy would be a breeze.

After pondering for a moment, Southern Cross had a plan in mind. He flicked his wrist, and a delicate, miniature wooden hut model appeared in the palm of his hand. It was the original form of the Mysterious Wooden Hut. He had found this in the Spatial Rings of Megisun and the others.

Apparently, as he suspected, Night Owl had been killed by the Truth Council. The hunters who secretly contacted Evans were probably also in danger.

Including Southern Cross, there were only four members left in the Mysterious Wooden Hut, making it virtually nonexistent. But this was good news, it would be easier to take over the remaining members.

Putting away the Mysterious Wooden Hut model, Southern Cross left the study.

Dragon Forest, Zone 3, an open plain. Southern Cross appeared out of thin air, gazing down at the Infiltrator running across the plain, and Amy, sitting on its back, a smile playing on his lips.

He hadn’t brought the Infiltrator with him to the Starlight Tower, leaving it behind in Dragon Forest.

Over the past two years, the Infiltrator hadn’t undergone Bloodline Refinement, so its Bloodline Concentration had increased very slowly. But its Bloodline Concentration had already exceeded 90% before, and after two years, it was now approaching 94%.

The only issue was that once the Infiltrator’s Bloodline Concentration exceeded 90%, its Sub-Dragon Bloodline had become the strongest in the Dragon Forest.

Other Sub-Dragons’ blood, directly fused, had no effect on it. It had to be refined and combined to improve the Infiltrator’s Bloodline Concentration.

Fortunately, the Dragon Forest had plenty of Sub-Dragon veins, so the Infiltrator’s Bloodline Concentration hadn’t slowed down much.

Southern Cross estimated that in two or three years at most, the Infiltrator’s bloodline would complete its evolution. Then, he would have another powerful force comparable to a Wizard.

Thinking about this, a smile couldn’t help but cross Southern Cross’s face.

“Meow, Southern Cross!”

A clear voice interrupted his thoughts. Southern Cross felt a slight weight on his shoulder, turned his head to see that Amy was already perched on his shoulder, staring at him with her big sapphire eyes, asking question after question.

“When did you come back meow?”

“Did you find the Starlight Tower meow?”

“Why did you stay away so long meow?”

Southern Cross quickly interrupted the little creature, smiling, “I’ve only been back for a few days. The Starlight Tower has been found, but something happened, so it took longer than expected.”

Amy didn’t press him further. It was happy to see Southern Cross back. But at that moment, its nostrils twitched, sniffing Southern Cross a few times, and its pupils widened in a human-like expression of shock.

“Meow! You’ve become a Wizard!”

“You can sense that too?” Southern Cross looked at the little creature in surprise.

While Amy had the ability to perceive fluctuations in energy particles, Southern Cross had deliberately suppressed his energy particle fluctuations. Amy shouldn’t have been able to sense it.

“My senses are very sharp meow! Your aura is exactly the same as the Wizards I’ve seen before!”

Amy proudly raised its head, then looked at Southern Cross with adoration.

“So awesome meow!”

“You became a Wizard in only twenty years meow!”

“And you did it in this environment! You’re the most outstanding genius I’ve ever met, besides my master meow!”

Amy excitedly waved its paws, and if someone didn’t know better, they might think it was the one who had become a Wizard.

Southern Cross curiously asked, “How long did it take for your master to become a Wizard?”

Amy wanted to gesture with a number, but seeing its chubby paws, it gave up. Instead, it chirped, “Sixteen years meow.”

“Sixteen years to become a Wizard?” Southern Cross nodded slightly. That was indeed fast.

“Not meow,” Amy shook its head unexpectedly. “My master became a Wizard at sixteen years old.”

“Sixteen?” Southern Cross was taken aback, then quickly realized. “Your master is a True Spirit Descendant?”

“Correct meow!” Amy proudly said.

Southern Cross was amazed.

A True Spirit Descendant refers to the offspring of a True Spirit Wizard. At the level of a Wizard, their life essence had already transcended that of ordinary creatures, and their offspring would inherently possess stronger physiques and spiritual powers than ordinary humans. It was almost certain that they would have the potential to become Sorcerer Apprentices, and they were more likely to advance further on the path of Wizardry.

For example, the offspring of two First-Rank Wizards would, at the very least, become Third-Rank Sorcerer Apprentices, and their chances of becoming Wizards would increase by several times compared to ordinary people.

If two Third-Rank Wizards were to have children, barring any accidents, they would almost certainly become full-fledged Wizards.

And the offspring of a True Spirit Wizard would have even more extraordinary potential, with many achieving Wizardhood by the age of sixteen or seventeen! These individuals were known as True Spirit Descendants.

In the world of Wizards, True Spirit Descendants were synonymous with genius.

Southern Cross didn’t expect Amy’s master to be a True Spirit Descendant.

Thinking about it, it was no wonder that such a peculiar Magical Companion could be bred.

A Wizard’s child, after all. Their foundation was something ordinary Wizards couldn’t compare to.

However, just like dragons, the stronger the Wizard, the more difficult it was to produce offspring. Throughout the entire multiverse, the number of True Spirit Descendants was extremely small.

Southern Cross was becoming more and more curious about why Amy had been left in the Starlight Continent.

But seeing the little creature brimming with pride, he wisely decided not to mention it, smiling as he patted its head. In this era of Wizards returning, Amy’s master would undoubtedly return to the Starlight Continent, and then the reason would be revealed.

“Roar!”

The Infiltrator roared from below.

Southern Cross landed on the ground, and the Infiltrator immediately trotted over, rubbing affectionately against his body.

With its increased Bloodline Concentration, the Infiltrator was now over 30 meters long, approaching 40. Such a massive creature performing affectionate actions was quite a contrast.

“Let’s go, to the laboratory, I’ll refine your bloodline for you after a long time.”

Southern Cross patted the Infiltrator’s scales, smiling slightly.

“In two years, you’ll become a true dragon.”
