Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 201

Here, the spiritual power consumed by casting spells could be quickly recovered.

But there was also another more serious problem.

That was, the Thunder Element Plane contained almost no energy particles other than those of lightning.

This also meant that practically no spells that required other types of energy particles could be cast here.

Considering that lightning-based spells were ineffective against Thunder Element Spirits, the combat methods Su Nan could use here were limited to non-elemental spells like spell projectiles, the Calamity Ring, engraved gems, and liquid metal.

As for the Black Thunder, it had very little use in the Thunder Element Plane.

The Thunder Element Spirit left behind a small amount of sparkling powder after death.

This was Elemental Dust, a material rich in elemental energy that could be used for enchanting or creating magical items.

Su Nan reached out and summoned it, storing it in his spatial ring.

In this half-plane filled with Thunder Elements, Su Nan’s distinct aura stood out like a sore thumb.

Thunder Element Spirits could detect his presence from afar.

Along the way, most of the Thunder Element Spirits roared and charged at him, wanting to turn him into charcoal.

Only a very few Thunder Element Spirits ignored him, lazily floating in mid-air like clouds, moving slowly.

Su Nan didn’t provoke these Thunder Element Spirits, only dealing with those who were unwise enough to attack him.

As he went deeper, the Thunder Elements in the air became visibly denser, even forming substantial arcs of electricity, flickering in the void.

The Thunder Element Spirits he encountered along the way also became stronger.

Su Nan simply released two secret puppets.

Ordinary puppets couldn’t harm the incorporeal Thunder Element Spirits. Only high-level puppets that had permanent spells and magical treatments could deal with them.

With the secret puppets taking care of clearing out the Thunder Element Spirits, Su Nan was finally able to free up his mind to focus on finding Thunderstones.

Before long, he made a discovery.

He stretched out his hand and summoned a pitch-black stone from the roadside. The stone flew into the air and landed in his palm.

Feeling the violent Thunder Element energy within the stone, a smile appeared on his face.

Finally, he had made a breakthrough!

Su Nan then searched carefully in the surrounding area and found a few more Thunderstones.

With his discovery, Su Nan became even more motivated.

There was no day or night in the Thunder Element Plane. Due to the numerous spatial rifts, it was also difficult to encounter other creatures, making it easy to lose track of time.

He didn’t know how long had passed, but when Su Nan finally stopped, there were already over two hundred Thunderstones in his spatial ring.

“These many Thunderstones are enough to craft three Black Thunders.”

Su Nan smiled slightly and looked at the two secret puppets standing by his side.

Although they had gone through several battles, the two secret puppets were basically unscathed.

After all, their opponents were just a bunch of Element Spirits.

Since he had eliminated a considerable number of Element Spirits, his spatial ring was also filled with Elemental Dust.

“Compared to Elemental Cores, Elemental Dust is still inferior in value.”

Not long ago, Su Nan had caught sight of a Thunder Element Giant from afar.

But he didn’t intend to fight it on its home turf, so he had avoided it early on, keeping it from noticing his presence.

“Speaking of which, Element Giants are also a kind of divine creature.”

In energy-rich and pure elemental planes, it was easy for natural divinity to manifest. Therefore, Element Spirits were the most likely race to give birth to divine creatures.

For example, Element Giants, Elder Element Giants, and Element Lords were all divine creatures.

The rule powers they mastered were often linked to their own elemental attributes.

In other words, Divine Energy should also be able to be extracted from Element Giants.

But considering the difficulty of killing a Thunder Element Giant in the Thunder Element Plane, Su Nan gave up on this idea.

On its home turf, the Thunder Element Giant’s combat power would at least increase by half, while his power was restricted by the environment. This was a huge disadvantage, and the risk was simply too high.

Perhaps he could try it when his strength was further increased, but for now, doing such a thing was tantamount to seeking death.

Shaking his head, Su Nan opened a spatial passage and returned to the Dragon Bone Tower.

Over the next period of time, Su Nan devoted his attention to crafting the Black Thunder and improving the Magic Emblem Core.

The former took less than two months to complete, and Su Nan had three more Black Thunders.

The latter took nearly two years to research and develop before it was successful.

The improved Magic Emblem Core could be activated through the magic formations set up in the secret puppet’s body. It only required the injection of energy particles.

Although the cost of the modification was a decrease in power, this problem was easily solved through Magic Cube synthesis.

In the end, the secret puppet integrated version of the Magic Emblem Core had roughly the same power as the original 6th-level Magic Emblem Core.

It wasn’t that Su Nan didn’t want to integrate a higher-level Magic Emblem Core, but that this was already the limit of the secret puppet’s load.

After all, a 6th-level Magic Emblem Core originally required the spiritual power of a formal Wizard and the physique of a legendary entity beyond the fourth circle to be integrated. Even Su Nan, at his current level, could only integrate a 6th-level Magic Emblem Core at most.

However, the secret puppet’s combat power had increased significantly after integrating the Magic Emblem Core.

Even Su Nan, without using wizard weapons or engraved gems, could only barely fight it to a draw.

This was still the case after his spiritual concentration had increased significantly.

If he had been at his level when he had just advanced, he would have been no match for it.

The current secret puppet girl, if she were to fight the Half-Spider God’s Apostle, would at least have a 50/50 chance.

However, the price of the surge in combat power was a massive increase in cost.

In addition to integrating the 6th-level Magic Emblem Core, the secret puppet’s body structure had also been upgraded to bear the 6th-level Magic Emblem Core, resulting in a final cost of 480,000 gold coins.

It should be noted that the cost of building a small Magic Puppet legion was only around 400,000 gold coins.

In other words, the cost of a single secret puppet was equivalent to that of a small Magic Puppet legion.

“The cost of refining high-level puppets will only continue to increase in the future. After all, many materials can only be obtained through synthesis, and the cost is much higher than manufacturing them.”

Su Nan sighed silently.

Taking the 6th-level Magic Emblem Core as an example, if it were manually manufactured, the cost could be at least half as cheap as synthesis.

Just like the Iron Magic Puppet and the Elite Stone Magic Puppet, both of which were legendary puppets of the first circle, the cost of manufacturing the Iron Magic Puppet was more than half that of the Elite Stone Magic Puppet.

This was the price of using the Magic Cube.

Of course, compared to the magical ability of the Magic Cube, this price was nothing.

After all, in theory, there was no limit to the synthesis of the Magic Cube. Many things could not be manufactured even if you spent a lot of gold coins, but the Magic Cube could easily synthesize them.

In fact, for Su Nan now, gold coins were no longer an issue. What really limited his development was resources.

With control over the southeast region of the Underworld and the Shining Light Empire as a market for his goods, the Star Alliance brought in over ten million gold coins in revenue every year.

But materials like mithril needed for refining secret puppets were limited to the silver veins controlled by the Star Alliance. The amount of mithril mined each year fluctuated within a fixed range, and no matter how much gold you had, you couldn’t increase it out of thin air.

Other rare resources were the same.

This problem would become even more prominent in the future, when he controlled the entire Starlight Continent.

In the absence of a third-party trading partner, Su Nan could only control the resources of the Starlight Continent. No matter how much gold he had, it was useless.

“Fortunately, the resources of the Starlight Continent are enough for me to build a Wizard Tower.”

“Once the Plane Barrier recovers in the future and the Starlight Continent can trade with other planes, the resource issue will be solved.”

Shaking his head, Su Nan put his thoughts aside and focused on refining secret puppets.

He still had enough mithril on hand to refine two more secret puppets.

Underworld, Northwest Region.

The Mushroom Forest City, which had just ended a war, was shrouded in smoke, and the light from the firestones falling from the caves illuminated the ruins below.

Clay Magic Puppets walked back and forth among the ruins, carrying blood-soaked corpses to the outskirts of the city for burning and disposal.

Corey walked wearily through the ruins, with traces of blood stains on his gray robe, looking exhausted, obviously having just experienced a fierce battle.

The Mushroom Forest City had gathered the last of the elite forces of the Northwest Region, so the resistance was fierce. He, as the commander, had to personally join the battle, and it took him half a day of fighting before he finally took this hard nut to crack.

And he had good reason to do so.

After taking the Mushroom Forest City, there were no more organized resistance forces in the Northwest Region. The remaining few were easily dealt with.

The Northwest Region could be considered to have fallen under the control of the Star Alliance.

At most, in two months, the war here would be quelled.

Thinking of Dragon Forest, which he had not returned to for many years, even Corey, who rarely indulged in sentimentality, couldn’t help but feel a pang of longing.

He heard that Dragon Forest had established a Starlight Academy. He wondered what kind of academy it was.

As Corey pondered, he had already reached the stone pillar in the center of the Mushroom Forest City, and he strode into it.

The wizard apprentices behind him followed suit.

The interior of the stone pillar was unusually spacious, and Clay Magic Puppets were busy moving supplies.

Corey quickly found the warehouse, and before he entered, he saw Ethan coming out, with a happy smile on his face.

Seeing this, Corey knew that the harvest was great, but he still asked,

“How is it?”

“The harvest is very rich.” Ethan beamed. “The resources from the warehouses of those few city-states should all have been gathered here.”

Corey’s face also lit up with a faint smile.

The richer the spoils of war, the more contribution points he would receive.

After assigning personnel to collect the sorted resources, Ethan and Corey walked out together.

“Are we going to rest here for two days?”

“No, there aren’t many resistance forces left. Let’s take advantage of the momentum and finish it off, lest we have problems later.”

“You’re right.” Ethan nodded in agreement.

Having been in command outside for nearly seven years, he was also tired and wanted to end this war quickly so he could return to Dragon Forest and focus on his cultivation.

The contribution points he had earned over the years were enough for him to use for a long time.

After being away for so long, he also missed Dragon Forest.

The two of them arrived at the intact city wall on the other side of the Mushroom Forest City and looked out at the darkness in the distance.

That was the only remaining region in the Northwest Region that had not been incorporated into the Star Alliance’s territory, occupying an area on the military map that was less than one-fiftieth of the Northwest Region.

Looking at the entire Underworld, it was just a corner of the world.

“When I was first appointed commander, I never imagined that the Star Alliance would unify the Underworld so quickly.”

Ethan’s face showed a hint of exclamation.

In just seven or eight years, the Star Alliance had first swept through the Southeast Region, even capturing the Demon Spider City, which was protected by a god, and then swept through the Northwest Region, invincible.

Seeing that the Star Alliance was about to unify the Underworld, and that he was one of the participants, witnessing it all happen, it was impossible not to feel sentimental.

Corey’s face seemed calm, but deep down, he agreed.

Back then, when he was still a student learning from his teacher, their base was just a small place next to Shining Light City. Who could have imagined that in less than thirty years, the base would become a behemoth that was about to unify the Underworld?

To many people, it was a miracle!

“That’s because our teacher is there.” Corey said.

Ethan had long since grown accustomed to Corey’s fanatical reverence for their teacher, so he simply smiled when he heard this.

“I heard the Empire is preparing to attack the Northwest Region. Once the Northwest Region is successfully unified, the entire Starlight Continent will be the Star Alliance’s for the taking.”

“That day will come soon.” Corey nodded.

In their view, although the Shining Light Empire would eventually unify the surface world, it was no different from the Star Alliance acting directly.

The Shining Light Empire was the Star Alliance’s dependent. It relied on the Star Alliance for its current development and could essentially be seen as a subordinate organization of the Star Alliance.

This was not arrogance or conceit on the part of Corey and Ethan.

In the Star Alliance’s wizard apprentices and the Empire’s nobility circles, this had become a consensus.

Although on the surface, the Shining Light Empire and the Star Alliance were independent and coexisted on an equal footing, anyone with any knowledge of the world knew that equality was only established on the premise that both sides were equal in strength.

The Shining Light Empire dominated the surface world, but its actual strength was far inferior to the Star Alliance.

In terms of resources, the Shining Light Empire was highly dependent on the Star Alliance, while the opposite was not true.

In this situation, the Shining Light Empire naturally had little say in the matter.

Over a long period of cooperation and trade, the Shining Light Empire would naturally become a subordinate of the Star Alliance through gradual changes.

From the emperor to the nobles, they did not resist this.

On the contrary, they were happy to be more closely tied to the Star Alliance.

“The future will belong to the Star Alliance.” Ethan smiled. Then, he suddenly had a whimsical idea. “Do you think, after conquering the Starlight Continent, where will the Star Alliance go next?”

Corey was taken aback. He thought for a while before saying, “I heard that ancient wizards liked to conquer other civilized planes. Perhaps our teacher also has similar ideas.”

Ethan’s eyes lit up.

That was a good goal.

He also wanted to see the scenery of other planes.

If one day the Star Alliance went on an expedition to another plane, he would definitely join it and go see other planes!

But before that, he still needed to advance to Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice.

For the Star Alliance now, Second-Rank Wizard Apprentices were still too weak.
