Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 204

Snapping out of his thoughts, Su Nan left the cave.

The Dark Magic Tree’s body was too large to be taken out in Dragon Forest, so he had to find a wide and secluded place to extract the Divine Energy from the tree’s body.

However, this work took much longer than Su Nan had expected.

The Divine Energy contained in the Dark Magic Tree’s body wasn’t particularly abundant, only less than three hundred standard units, but due to the tree’s immense size, it was quite time-consuming to extract.

It took more than two months, and Su Nan absorbed the Divine Energy as he extracted it. He finally absorbed all the Divine Energy from the tree’s body.

His spiritual condensation rate had also increased by nearly 20%, soaring to 60.37%!

Since all the essence had been condensed into Thousand Tree Essence and the Divine Energy had been drained, the Dark Magic Tree’s body had become a pile of ordinary wood, but it was wood radiating negative energy particles, more harmful than beneficial, so Su Nan simply burned it.

After that, Su Nan divided the Thousand Tree Essence into several pieces and then synthesized them, purifying the spider venom inside before absorbing it.

Perhaps because it was condensed from all the essence of the Dark Magic Tree, this piece of Thousand Tree Essence contained more energy than Su Nan had imagined, ultimately causing his spiritual condensation rate to surge by more than 14%.

At this point, Su Nan’s spiritual condensation rate had broken through the 70% mark.

【Su Nan · Arnest, Human Male】

【Gasification: 74.82%】

“I’m about 15% away from breaking through to Level 1 Liquification.”

Su Nan was overjoyed.

He had thought it would take three to four hundred years to break through to Level 1 Liquification, but he had only been a Wizard for ten years and his spiritual condensation rate had already increased to over 70%.

Speaking of which, a large part of the reason why his spiritual condensation rate could increase so quickly was thanks to the Spider Queen.

Almost all of the Divine Energy he had absorbed in the past ten years came from the Spider Queen.

If it hadn’t been for the Spider Queen’s persistent delivery of multiple gift packages, he wouldn’t have been able to break through the 70% mark in spiritual condensation so quickly.

Thinking about this, Su Nan suddenly felt a bit regretful that the Spider Queen could no longer interfere in the Starlight Continent.

Should he not have killed the Dark Magic Tree so quickly?

“Forget it, that woman is too cunning, and she might cause trouble if she’s left alive. It’s better to get rid of her sooner rather than later.”

Su Nan shook his head after thinking it over.

Leaving the Dark Magic Tree alive was too risky. He didn’t need to keep a ticking time bomb around for a little bit of Divine Energy.

“I only have about 15% of my spiritual condensation rate left. If I cultivate diligently, I should be able to break through to Level 1 Liquification in about eighty years.”

“Besides, there are other ways.”

A glint of light flashed in Su Nan’s eyes.

When he was looking for the Thunder Stone in the Thunder Element Plane, he had the idea of hunting Element Giants and extracting Divine Energy from them.

However, he had put it off for the time being due to his lack of strength.

Now that his spiritual condensation rate had nearly doubled, and his strength had greatly increased, perhaps he could try it.

If it succeeded, he would have a stable source of Divine Energy in the future.

However, he needed to prepare.

The Thunder Element Plane was the home ground of the Thunder Element Giants. The only tools he could use against them were non-elemental spells, non-thunderbolt imprint gems, and liquid metal.

As for other methods, either they were not powerful enough, or they were restricted by the environment and could not be used, or they were ineffective against the Thunder Element Giant, all of which were not within Su Nan’s consideration.

“I’ll prepare more imprint gems.”

“If all else fails, I can kill it with enough imprint gems.”

With a plan in mind, Su Nan no longer lingered. He cast the levitation spell to take to the air and flew towards the nearest city-state.

Counting the time, he had been away for almost three months.

However, with the war already over, the Star Alliance should not have much for him to worry about.

At most, he would listen to reports occasionally and oversee the general direction.

As soon as he returned to Dragon Bone Tower, Karolina and Red Widow came to find him immediately.

“Master, the marble and metal you requested have all been collected, but the white jade will take some time.”

In the study, Karolina handed over a list, which listed the various materials that had been collected, including marble, obsidian, and refined steel.

These were the basic building materials needed to build a Wizard Tower.

And collection was just the first step.

These ordinary building materials could not be used to build a Wizard Tower yet. They had to be enchanted to improve their hardness and magic conductivity before they could be used.

The quality of the enchantment of the basic building materials would largely determine the upper limit of a Wizard Tower.

In short, the massive amount of basic building materials meant that the enchantment process was a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

Su Nan waved his hand, dividing the enchantment of the building materials into different tasks and assigning them to the students of Starlight Academy to handle.

This kind of basic work could be done by any first-rank Wizard Apprentice with a certain level of enchantment foundation.

“The collection of white jade can be taken slowly, but focus on quality.” Su Nan instructed.

Hanbaiyu, a fine-grained marble with a pure white color, was a superior building and carving material.

It already possessed a weak magic conductivity, and its performance would be greatly enhanced after enchantment, which could be used to strengthen the elemental magic arrays deployed, making it suitable for building elemental pools and meditation areas.

In addition, white jade could be made very strong after being empowered by spells, capable of withstanding third-ring magic attacks, making it equally suitable for building magic practice rooms.

The only downside was that it was expensive.

“What about the other materials?” Su Nan asked, putting down the list.

Karolina replied respectfully: “Magic steel ingots and high-quality gems have been collected, but there is still a three-fifths shortfall of magic crystals, arcane dust, and star sea sand. I have dispatched more people to collect them everywhere.”

“In addition, I am currently asking the Star Empire to assist the Star Alliance in acquiring the silver mines in the surface world. We will control the silver mines as strategic resources, which will greatly increase the production of Mithril.”

Su Nan nodded slightly.

There were many large facilities in a Wizard Tower, including but not limited to elemental pools, elemental furnaces, magic lock protection energy force fields, levitation rings, and ultra-long-range strike devices.

These facilities required a large number of rare materials, including Mithril.

And the Starlight Continent lacked trade channels with other planes, so all resources had to rely on its own output, which naturally collected very slowly and could only be accumulated bit by bit over time.

In addition, some materials were not available in the Starlight Continent at all, so Su Nan had to find a way to research substitute materials.

It could be said that without the Synthesis Magic Cube, it would be a pipe dream to build a Wizard Tower on the Starlight Continent.

Karolina was already a remarkably capable worker for being able to collect such a large amount of rare materials in such a short time.

Su Nan naturally wouldn’t be too demanding.

“You’re doing a good job.”

Upon receiving the praise of her master, Karolina’s face showed uncontainable joy.

Red Widow saw this and secretly rolled her eyes.

What was there to be proud of?

As she was slandering, Su Nan suddenly turned to her.

“Has anything happened on the surface lately?”

Karolina was mainly responsible for underground affairs, while Red Widow was mainly responsible for surface affairs.

Hearing Su Nan’s question, Red Widow immediately straightened up and replied respectfully:

“Master, a month ago, the Star Empire formally invaded the Northwest Region.”

Su Nan raised an eyebrow, but he wasn’t surprised.

It had been almost seven years since the unification of the Southeast Region, and the Star Empire had almost digested the fruits of its previous victories, completely stabilizing the situation in the Southeast Region.

It wasn’t surprising that they would now move into the Northwest Region.

However, if that was all, Red Widow wouldn’t have specially reported it to him at this time, so Su Nan didn’t interrupt and motioned for her to continue.

“Five days ago, King Kei sent a letter requesting that we dispatch high-level combat power to support them.”

Su Nan’s face finally showed some surprise: “Why?”

With the Star Empire’s current military strength, it should be sufficient to conquer the Northwest Region, so why would they need to ask the Star Alliance for support?

Red Widow’s face looked strange as she replied: “All the countries in the Northwest Region have united and formed an alliance to fight against the Star Empire. In addition, with the mediation of the Russell family, almost all third-rank Wizard Apprentices in the Northwest Region have also joined forces to assassinate the commanders of the Empire’s various armies. Because of these people, the Empire has been in a state of turmoil recently, and the front line has been unable to advance, so they came to us for help.”

“The Russell family?” Su Nan became interested. “What’s the deal with this family?”

Most third-rank Wizard Apprentices were solitary, carefree, or arrogant individuals. To gather them together was no easy feat.

The fact that the Russell family could achieve this was truly astonishing.

Red Widow handed Su Nan a document, saying at the same time:

“The Russell family is a thousand-year-old Wizard family with a deep foundation. It is said that their ancestor was a Wizard from a thousand years ago. They have immense prestige in the Northwest Region. Although they are not the royal family of any country, they are respected by all countries.”

“Moreover, the Russell family has a high reputation among Wizard Apprentices. Many Wizard Apprentices have interacted with them and received their help, so they would often give them face in many matters.”

“The reason why third-rank Wizard Apprentices in the Northwest Region were able to put aside their differences and unite this time was because the current head of the Russell family, Facardo Russell, personally came forward to persuade them.”

Su Nan opened the document. It listed information about the Russell family, including its family members.

The current head, Facardo Russell, was one hundred and fifty-six years old and a third-rank Wizard Apprentice. He was consistently ranked among the top three in the entire Northwest Region.

And below him, there were a total of sixteen Wizard Apprentices in the entire Russell family.

This included three third-rank Wizard Apprentices, five second-rank Wizard Apprentices, and eight first-rank Wizard Apprentices.

This alone was no less than some Wizard Apprentice organizations.

It had to be said that the Russell family truly had the confidence and strength to be respected by all countries and Wizard Apprentices.

“A thousand-year-old Wizard family.”

Su Nan thought thoughtfully.

This reminded him of the Kessler family.

The Kessler family’s ancestor was also a Wizard, and their legacy also exceeded a thousand years.

However, the Kessler family had been far less successful than the Russell family. They didn’t even have a single Wizard Apprentice.

Their only third-ring Legendary Knight was now dead.

The only remaining family member was missing, and it was unknown whether he was still alive.

“The Kessler family’s ancestor left them a clue to the Starsea Tower. As fellow thousand-year-old Wizard families, did the Russell family’s ancestor possibly leave them a clue to the Wizard inheritance?”

The words “Falling Star City” flashed in Su Nan’s mind.

Perhaps the clue to the last of the three Wizard inheritances lay with this Russell family.

“Send Puppet No. 1 and Puppet No. 2 there.” Su Nan closed the document. “Try to capture members of the Russell family alive, especially Facardo Russell. I want to extract some information from his mouth.”

“Yes, Master.” Red Widow replied respectfully.

Su Nan waved his hand, and the two women politely left.

As they walked out of the study, Karolina suddenly asked: “Are you going to personally lead the team to the Northwest Region?”

“Of course.” Red Widow glanced at her, smiling sweetly. “The master is clearly very serious about capturing members of the Russell family, so I naturally have to personally oversee the matter.”

Karolina looked at her deeply, saying meaningfully: “I hope you don’t disappoint the master.”

Red Widow’s smile remained unchanged, and she giggled: “With two puppets there, I don’t think there will be any difficulty in this operation.”

The combat power of the puppets was no secret to those in the higher ranks of the Star Alliance.

Two puppets with the combat strength comparable to Wizards, facing a group of third-rank Wizard Apprentices, couldn’t even be described as strong men bullying children.

It was simply fully armed knights against unarmed children!

The result would be without any unexpected twists!

Over a thousand years of inheritance, the people of the Russell family probably no longer understood the power of Wizards.

Otherwise, they would never have made the ridiculous move of uniting a group of third-rank Wizard Apprentices to fight against Wizards.

Only those who had witnessed the might of Wizards would understand that such an act was simply like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The master didn’t even need to be present, two puppets would be enough to make those clowns lose their wits.

Karolina naturally knew this, and she pursed her lips without saying anything else before turning and leaving.

Watching her leave, Red Widow slowly withdrew her smile and sneered.

No matter how long they had worked together, she still couldn’t stand this pretentious woman.
