Amy’s perception was as sharp as always, and she was the first to notice Su Nan’s arrival. The little guy instantly disappeared from where he was and reappeared on Su Nan’s shoulder.

“Meow, did you go to the Wizard Tower again?” Amy licked her paw and asked.

Su Nan smiled and said, “I just activated the Elemental Pool today. The energy there is more abundant than Dragon’s Bones Tower. You and Stealthy Dragon can rest there in the future.”

Stealthy Dragon, who was walking over, let out an excited cry when he heard this. After evolving into a giant dragon, he became extremely sensitive to the concentration of energy particles. He couldn’t stand staying outside, and he basically wouldn’t leave Dragon Forest.

When Su Nan wasn’t using the control center, he would run to the vicinity of the Elemental Pool just to enjoy the high-concentration energy particle environment for a while longer. Naturally, he was extremely happy to hear that there was a place with even higher concentration of energy particles.

On the other hand, Amy didn’t have high requirements for the energy particle concentration. After all, his power level was still far from the upper limit of energy particle concentration in Starlight Continent.

Even so, Amy was also very happy.

“Yay, we can finally live in the Wizard Tower meow!”

Before his long slumber, he had been living in the Wizard Tower and missed the living environment there. Although the Dragon Forest was also good, it was still not as good as the Wizard Tower.

Su Nan was also interested and asked about Amy’s master’s Wizard Tower.

“Master’s Wizard Tower?”

“I remember it was a large Wizard Tower meow, very big and spacious!”

As expected of a True Spirit descendant, even their Wizard Towers were large.

Suddenly, Su Nan remembered something and asked, “What level Wizard is your master?”

“Meow, Master is a Third-Rank Wizard.”

“But before I went to sleep, Master seemed to be on the verge of advancing to True Spirit Wizard meow.”

True Spirit Wizard!

Su Nan sighed inwardly. Due to genetic inheritance, True Spirit descendants had a naturally higher chance of advancing to True Spirit Wizard compared to ordinary Wizards. Coupled with their deep background, lack of resources, and guidance from their family elders, two or three out of ten would usually advance to True Spirit Wizard.

Don’t look at how low this number is, it’s actually very exaggerated.

For ordinary Wizards, there might not even be one out of a thousand who could advance to True Spirit Wizard.

More than a thousand years have passed, perhaps Amy’s master had already advanced to True Spirit Wizard.

“I want to go to the Wizard Tower!”

Amy, with his childlike personality, pulled Stealthy Dragon towards the Wizard Tower after a few short words.

Su Nan shook his head with a smile and then teleported to the laboratory.

With the help of Tower Spirit No. 1, the research on the Talent Crystal model should be much smoother from now on. He could try to refer to more literature and gain more inspiration.

As for the type of the second Talent Crystal model, Su Nan had already made up his mind.

The first Talent model, “Liquid Metal,” is an offensive and defensive type. So, the second and third Talent models should be one for extreme defense and one for extreme attack.

Su Nan currently had many attack methods, so he prioritized the second Talent Crystal model to be defensive.

After much deliberation, he finally chose the Witch Artifact, “Forbidden Zone,” as the original model.

The “Forbidden Zone’s” invisible force field could not only defend against attacks from all angles without any dead ends, but it could also cause a gravitational pressure on approaching enemies — weakening the enemy was also a form of defense, wasn’t it?

Limited by materials, the power of the “Forbidden Zone” could only reach this level. But if it was improved and transformed into a Talent Crystal model, its power could be further expanded and strengthened.

Su Nan was looking forward to the final product.

Time passed by silently, like sand slipping through his fingers.

Starlight Calendar 1291, Blossom Month (May).

Ten years had passed since the Starfall Empire unified the mainland. The wounds of war had long been healed, and people had returned to their former peaceful lives.

Under the Emperor’s vigorous reforms, the entire empire flourished, and its development was booming. The people at the bottom felt the most significant changes. Their better lives than before made them wholeheartedly support the Empire’s rule.

In the eyes of some discerning individuals, the most noticeable change was the increasing number of Knights they saw in their lives. In the past, Knights were either nobles or followers of nobles. Their status was much higher than ordinary people.

But now, there were many more Knights from commoner backgrounds.

This change was even more apparent in the military. In the past, a Probationary Knight with outstanding strength could serve as an officer. But now, even the lowest-ranking junior officers had to be Knights to qualify.

Knights were becoming increasingly common.

If the observations of discerning individuals were just vague guesses, then the report in front of Su Nan presented detailed data. In the past four years, Knight academies across the empire had graduated over 20,000 Knight trainees. The number of Probationary Knight trainees was in the hundreds of thousands.

If you also count the seven Knight academies under the Star Alliance and the more than ten royal Knight academies of the Empire, the number of Knight trainees was close to 40,000. — The seven Knight academies under the Star Alliance alone had graduated more than 10,000 Knight trainees in four years.

In the past, this was simply unimaginable.

But in the present, it was quite normal.

In fact, if not for the fact that most of the Star Alliance’s Dragon Blood Fruits and Dragon Blood Potions were used to supply the Magic Emblem Knight Corps, the seven Knight academies, and those royal Knight academies, and only a small amount was supplied to ordinary Knight academies, the number of Knights trained each year could have been doubled.

Taking back his gaze, Su Nan turned to another report. The report was written by Rose, and its contents were about a new type of fruit-bearing magic plant she had recently developed. This magic plant had the effect of strengthening the physique, but its effect was much weaker than the Dragon Blood Fruit, only about one-fifth of it.

To be honest, it was a bit of a stretch to call it a magic plant.

However, despite its weak effect, this fruit had low requirements for its growth environment. Even in the current environment of Starlight Continent, it could be cultivated and grown without the need to set up energy-gathering arrays. In Su Nan’s opinion, this was the most valuable aspect.

This meant that this fruit didn’t need to be grown in the magic plant garden, and even ordinary people could plant it. If this fruit could be widely promoted and popularized in the empire, it could, to some extent, alleviate the problem of insufficient Dragon Blood Fruits and Dragon Blood Potions.

Without hesitation, Su Nan directly wrote an approval on the report, instructing it to be forwarded to the Emperor of the Empire and recommending that it be widely promoted and planted. He then gave Rose a considerable contribution value reward.

It’s worth mentioning that Rose named this fruit “Star Fruit.”

The significance of the Star Fruit was self-evident. With the Star Fruit, the Starfall Empire could cultivate more Knights.

Su Nan never thought that he should only focus on improving his own strength or only focus on the development of the Star Alliance. This behavior, although it could bring relatively rich returns in the short term, was very short-sighted in the long run.

Starlight Continent was his base.

Strengthening and developing his base was also a way of increasing his foundation. With a strong enough foundation, he could go further in the future.

Therefore, he supported Kei’s reforms without reservation. Popularizing basic education, establishing Knight academies, and many other reform policies were subtly strengthening the power of Starlight Continent.

The stronger Starlight Continent became, the more benefits he could gain as the de facto controller.

“It’s a pity that there are no magic stone veins on the continent, otherwise we could develop magic energy technology and improve the level of basic science and technology.”

Magic energy technology refers to applied technology developed using magic stones as an energy source, including magic stone lamps, magic energy carriages, magic energy spaceships, magic energy weapons, and a series of other applications in the fields of people’s livelihood and the military.

The two prerequisites for developing magic energy technology are, firstly, abundant magic stone veins, and secondly, a strong Wizard civilization (with a sufficient number of Wizard apprentices and formal Wizards).

The current Starlight Continent does not meet these two prerequisites.

The latter can be gradually achieved through time.

But the former, unless the elemental resurgence arrives and after a long period of recovery and accumulation, it will be impossible to achieve.

As for using Magic Cubes to synthesize magic stones, Su Nan didn’t even think about it. Once magic energy technology is widely promoted, the amount of magic stones needed, based on the area of Starlight Continent, will be an astronomical number, which he alone cannot meet.

After approving the documents, Su Nan stretched and left the study.

The place where he is now is the Wizard Tower still under construction.

Ever since the Elemental Pool was opened, he had been working, studying, and handling affairs in the Wizard Tower. Compared to Dragon’s Bones Tower, the energy particle concentration here was more comfortable.

The Wizard Tower’s space planning was still being perfected, with only about one-third of the progress completed.

It’s worth mentioning that during this time, Su Nan tried to build another Elemental Pool and then synthesize it with the original one.

The result was that the synthesized Elemental Pool had a 1.2 times increase in all aspects, which made him quite happy.

“It seems that four to five small Elemental Pools should be able to synthesize an Elemental Pool with effects similar to a medium-sized one.”

As he pondered, Su Nan had already reached the experimental area.

The huge experimental area had over 200 laboratories, each of which had to be equipped with an array to prevent energy bursts from experimental accidents from destroying the laboratories and affecting other areas. This work alone would take seven or eight months to complete. And this was just one aspect of the spatial planning.

“A long way to go.”

By the time Su Nan finished his work, it was evening. Glancing at the sky outside, he suddenly felt like eating.

Ever since he advanced to Wizard, Su Nan had basically eliminated eating. Even if he didn’t eat anything for decades or even hundreds of years, he wouldn’t feel hungry. Absorbing free energy particles in the air was enough to sustain his life.

Although he didn’t need to, Su Nan still enjoyed delicious food from time to time. It was one of the few remaining pleasures he had now.

Of course, the only food that could catch his eye were the ones made with rare ingredients and had special effects, like the ones on the daily recommended menu of the Starlight Academy and Dragon’s Bones Tower canteens.

For this purpose, Caroline had specially prepared a private box for him in the Dragon’s Bones Tower canteen.

As usual, not long after Su Nan entered the box and sat down, Caroline walked in with her tail dragging behind her, followed by a team of Water Spirits carrying trays. When the Water Spirits put down the trays and lifted the covers, a rich aroma that made one’s mouth water wafted out, filling every corner of the room.

Su Nan’s eyes fell on one of the trays, and his expression moved slightly.

“This is… Emperor Shrimp?”

“Yes, Master.” Caroline smiled.

She knew that the origin of the dish wouldn’t be difficult for the knowledgeable Master.

Emperor Shrimp is a ferocious marine creature. It can reach over five meters in length, with strong and sharp pincers, a wide range of diets, few natural enemies, powerful lower limbs and claws, and a formidable fighting capacity. In the ocean, even a beginner Knight would not dare to face an Emperor Shrimp head-on.

As far as Su Nan knew, Emperor Shrimp was a deep-sea creature, and it seemed that only the Rainbow Sea had this creature.

He scanned the other dishes.

Sure enough, the Seven-Colored Fan Shrimp, Rainbow Clam, Coral Fish, and Dragon Whale Meat were all specialties of the Rainbow Sea.

The Rainbow Sea has extremely rich resources. It is home to the world’s largest coral reefs, producing all kinds of delicious seafood.

Caroline had prepared a Rainbow Sea seafood feast for him today.

Su Nan smiled, waved for the Water Spirits to leave, and then gestured for Caroline to sit down.

“Let’s chat while we eat.”

Caroline was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed. Holding back her excitement, she carefully moved to the seat, coiled her tail around the chair, and sat to Su Nan’s left.

Su Nan took a few bites of Emperor Shrimp meat and nodded in satisfaction. Then he got to the point.

“How’s the exploration of the Rainbow Sea going?”

Caroline answered respectfully, “We have currently built five city-states in the Rainbow Sea Bay. In addition, we are also filling in the sea to create land, preparing to build three islands as a transfer station for deep-sea exploration and the bay city-states. However, due to the interference of the Deep Sea Naga, the Siren Sea Nymphs, and sea monsters, the progress has been slow.”

As she spoke, Caroline glanced cautiously at Su Nan. Seeing that he was slowly savoring the food, and there was no sign of displeasure on his face, she felt a little relieved and continued, “I have sent additional troops to the Rainbow Sea Bay, and I have also issued tasks to Starlight Academy to order magic ships that can sail on the sea, as well as special puppets that can operate underwater. In addition, Lord Ximen and Lord Corey are also preparing to lead teams to the Rainbow Sea. With their assistance, I believe the exploration will soon make a breakthrough.”

The deep sea is the territory of marine races and sea monsters. No matter how strong and sturdy the ship is, it is no match for these creatures at sea. So, humans can only roam the land and no country has ever tried to touch the Rainbow Sea.

Even a powerful force like the Star Alliance has encountered many difficulties and obstacles in exploring the Rainbow Sea and still can only hover around the outer edges.

However, Caroline believed that as long as the Star Alliance increased its investment and put in more resources, they would definitely be able to solve the current predicament in the Rainbow Sea.

She had prepared this feast today, partly to ask for something from her Master.

She was sure that the Master could see it.

Indeed, after listening to her words, Su Nan looked at her with a playful smile and said, “I will ask the Academy to cooperate with you. You can also mobilize the resources of the Star Alliance. The only requirement is that you need to open up the situation in the Rainbow Sea as soon as possible.”

Only about four years were left before the opening of the Falling Star City. Before that, they had to set up some power in the Rainbow Sea.

Maybe they could use it when looking for the Falling Star City.
