Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 154
Two figures slowly flew over the sky above幽湖城.
Looking at the bustling city below, where different races like puppets, humans, vampires, and human-faced lions coexisted peacefully, the traveler couldn’t help but marvel.
Any Third-Rank Sorcerer Apprentice, as long as they planned for decades, wouldn’t find it difficult to control a city-state in the underworld.
But to develop a powerful force that encompasses three city-states like Su Nan, is quite rare.
Not to mention the Starry Kingdom behind Su Nan.
The more he interacted with Su Nan, the more he felt the depth of his unfathomability.
Therefore, he accepted Su Nan’s invitation and came to幽湖城 to have a look.
“I didn’t expect even Human-faced Lions and vampires to become your vassals,” the traveler remarked with a sigh.
Su Nan caught the implication in his words and was surprised, “You’ve been here before?”
The traveler nodded, “Eight years ago, I came here once. I wanted to sneak into幽湖城 to take a look, but the Human-faced Lions were too heavily guarded, and there were Spirit-Devouring Hunters guarding the gates. I had to give up. I didn’t expect that now even 玛图 and 奥森 have been conquered by you.”
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the stone golems patrolling the streets below.
From the city gate all the way here, he noticed that most of the garrison force and patrol forces in幽湖城 were various golem puppets.
Among them were no shortage of legendary puppets!
Human-faced Lions, vampires, and other enslaved races only accounted for a small portion.
It seemed that the reason why Su Nan was able to conquer幽湖, 玛图, and 奥森 was due to his powerful golem army.
Night Owl was right, the resources that Su Nan possessed were truly shocking.
Ordinary Third-Rank Sorcerer Apprentices couldn’t possibly raise such a large-scale golem army.
What puzzled him even more was that legendary puppet materials were extremely rare. Just the medium and small Soul Crystals alone were a bottleneck for many Sorcerer Apprentices.
Where did Su Nan obtain so many medium and small Soul Crystals to refine legendary golems?
The traveler pondered over this, unable to find an answer.
Then, Su Nan suddenly said, “We’re here.”
The two slowly descended to the ground. 卡罗莱娜 and Red Widow were already waiting at the palace gate.
“Master, welcome back.” The two women bowed together in unison.
The traveler saw this and secretly praised them.
Su Nan was truly blessed with good fortune, and he was also very decisive.
Both Human-faced Lions and vampires were notoriously cunning.
Sorcerer Apprentices without any ability couldn’t possibly subdue these two races, let alone bring them under their command.
“It’s getting late. You should rest for a few days first, and we’ll have a good chat later,” said Su Nan.
The traveler readily agreed, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Su Nan smiled and turned to instruct 卡罗莱娜, “Arrange the best room for the traveler.”
“Yes, Master.” 卡罗莱娜 replied respectfully, then bowed slightly to the traveler, “Traveler, please come with me.”
After the traveler left, Su Nan entered the palace and said without turning back, “How’s the exploration going while I was away?”
Red Widow followed closely behind Su Nan, smiling and saying, “Thanks to your foresight, Master, allowing Xieman and Kore, along with the Knight Guard, to join the exploration, their assistance has significantly accelerated the progress.”
“The subterranean Toad Monsters and Slime Monsters in the eastern swamp of the Star Alliance have been cleared. The exploration team is now exploring deeper.”
“The situation in the north has also been investigated. There are a total of four Eye Demon tribes within a radius of fifty kilometers. We have wiped out two, and it’s just a matter of time before the remaining two are eliminated.”
“The iron ore vein discovered in the west has been officially developed. Besides, the exploration team has found two new veins, a medium-sized copper mine and a small tungsten mine. We are currently clearing the nearby monsters and expect to start mining in a month.”
Su Nan nodded in satisfaction.
From Red Widow’s tone, the Knight Guard, which had just been formed, seemed to be performing quite well.
But it was normal, after all, the Knight Guard’s equipment was far superior to the indigenous forces in the underworld.
Magic Emblem Armament was a given, they also had enchanted weapons and armor.
In addition, various potions were carried with them.
It could be said that any knight randomly selected from the Knight Guard could stand a chance against a Great Knight.
Such a force, led by Xieman and Kore, wouldn’t be afraid of anything as long as they didn’t encounter legendary creatures.
Even if they encountered a legendary creature, with the Rune Gems in their possession, it wouldn’t be difficult to escape.
Seeing the satisfied expression on Su Nan’s face, Red Widow was delighted and said with a smile, “Moreover, Master, five days ago, I personally led a team to wipe out the Minotaur tribe in the south. Now, their gold mine is in our Star Alliance’s grasp.”
“That’s a medium-sized gold mine. Preliminary estimates show that it can bring in over 300,000 gold coins in profit!”
“Good.” The smile on Su Nan’s face deepened.
A medium-sized gold mine, with the efficient mining efficiency of the Clay Golem, meant he wouldn’t have to worry too much about funds for at least the next six months.
He could stockpile more magic mithril and refine more mithril golems.
This time, he killed魔手 and 血口, along with 乌戈, three members of the Eternal Society had died at his hands.
Although the other party might not know that 魔手 and 血口 were killed by him, once they knew, even if the Eternal Society’s organization structure was loose, they would inevitably clash with him.
Better safe than sorry. He had to prepare early and accumulate more strength.
If he had dozens of mithril golems, he could walk all over the Starry Continent, let alone the Eternal Society.
“Continue exploring, find more veins, and also pay attention to collecting intelligence on surrounding forces,” instructed Su Nan.
So far, the Star Alliance’s exploration and expansion had only encountered tribes, whose strength was weak and insignificant.
However, considering that the exploration range had expanded to nearly two hundred kilometers, it was estimated that they would soon encounter other city-states.
At that time, if they wanted to continue expanding their territory, they would inevitably have to engage in war, and the Star Alliance had to be prepared for this.
One of the reasons why Su Nan invited the traveler to幽湖城 was to inquire about intelligence on the forces in the underworld.
The traveler had been adventuring and exploring the underworld in the southeastern region of the continent for many years, so he might know more than Su Nan.

“How’s Shining Light City doing?” asked Su Nan again.
“The detailed report is in the study.”
As they spoke, they reached the study door, and Su Nan pushed it open. Entering the study, he sat down at the desk, and his eyes first landed on the report on the table.
Ever since he and Ke Yi reached an agreement on the idea of system separation, Su Nan began to implement it.
By the time he set off for瑞安城, system separation had been implemented for a while and was on track.
And the report on the table was the financial report of the past six months.
According to the report, after implementing system separation, the base’s profits had increased by almost half.
The bulk of the profits came from the purchase of puppets like Blackrock Beasts, Clay Golems, and Stone Golems, as well as potions, enchanted weapons, and Dragon Blood Fruits, accounting for over 80% of the profits.
The remaining less than 20% came from the purchase of various metal ores mined from the underworld.
Su Nan wasn’t surprised by this result.
After all, in the previous dependency, the base’s benefit transfer to the army was far greater than the army’s benefit transfer to the base.
It could even be said that part of the profits obtained from mining in the underworld was used to subsidize the Starry Kingdom.
That was precisely why the Starry Kingdom was able to recover from the war in just a few years.
It was just that, because Su Nan’s early capital accumulation was largely due to the territory, so he had always accepted this fact.
Now that the two sides were separated, there was no need to subsidize the Starry Kingdom at a loss, so the base’s profits naturally increased.
“As long as the Starry Kingdom continues to grow strong, the profits the base receives from purchases will only continue to increase.”
After reading the report, Su Nan left the study and went to the laboratory.
He took out gems and silver, and it took him half an hour to set up the magic array. Then, he injected his spiritual power to activate it.
As the light flashed, countless rays of light emerged from the magic array, intertwining with each other. Soon, a four-to-five-meter-tall light gate was formed.
“Done.”
Su Nan clapped his hands and looked at the teleportation channel in front of him, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
With this teleportation channel, he could freely enter and exit the Dragon Forest from Base 2.
He would also set up one at Base 1 when he had time, for easy access.
He could even enter the Dragon Forest from Base 2 and exit from Base 1, effectively achieving long-distance teleportation between the two bases.
This way, he wouldn’t have to travel back and forth all the time, saving him a lot of time.
After setting up the channel, Su Nan summoned the Stealthy Dragon through the contract.
As a result, 艾米 also came along.
“Meow! What’s this?”
艾米 widened her eyes, curiously looking at the light gate.
“Go in and see for yourself.”
Su Nan smiled and took the lead in entering the light gate.
Seeing this, 艾米 quickly urged the Stealthy Dragon to follow.
The light gate connected to the public resting area on the first floor of the Dragon Bone Tower. Then, Su Nan took 艾米 and the Stealthy Dragon to Zone 1.
When they saw the magnificent forest sea full of towering trees, 艾米 was completely stunned.
“Meow! This, this is an eco-garden!”
Now it was Su Nan’s turn to be surprised.
“You’ve seen an eco-garden?”
“Of course, meow!” 艾米 raised her head proudly. “My previous master also had an eco-garden where he raised a lot of strange creatures, but I couldn’t see it after I woke up.”
Su Nan thought for a moment. It seemed that the eco-garden was moved by艾米’s previous master.
Unlike Dragon Forest, which was left on the Starry Continent.
“Meow, Su Nan, you got the control over this eco-garden?”
艾米 suddenly remembered Su Nan’s casual teleportation just now and immediately realized it.
“Yeah, I’m the master here now.”
“Wow, how did you do it, meow?” 艾米 asked curiously.
“It’s a long story. We’ll talk as we walk.”
Su Nan took the lead and flew forward, the Stealthy Dragon quickly following.
On the way, he told 艾米 about the events that had happened, leaving her completely speechless.
“Meow, you’re so lucky!” 艾米 exclaimed.
She had experienced the era of the Sorcerer’s Golden Age a thousand years ago and had a powerful master, so she knew more than many Sorcerer Apprentices, and she naturally understood the incredible value of a large-scale eco-garden.
Even if it was a semi-abandoned eco-garden, it was worth more than the entire Starry Kingdom!
Then, as if she had thought of something, 艾米 excitedly patted the Stealthy Dragon’s back with her paw and said crisply, “Meow, big guy, you’re in luck!”
“Roar?” The Stealthy Dragon let out a questioning roar.
Su Nan smiled slightly.
This was precisely why he brought the Stealthy Dragon here.
Although Zone 2 of Dragon Forest was abandoned, Zone 1 still had many sub-dragon species, including high-level sub-dragon species.
Enough to provide ample sub-dragon blood to rapidly increase the Stealthy Dragon’s bloodline concentration.
And Su Nan’s goal was to get Multi-necked Dragon and 魔暴龙, these high-level sub-dragon species.
Reaching the lake where the traveler, 魔手, and 血口 had fought not long ago, Su Nan unleashed his spiritual power to sense for a moment, and soon he found his target.
His body shimmered silver, and a silvery metallic liquid instantly separated from his body, forming countless metallic spikes, tearing through the air and whistling as they plunged into the water.
The next moment, the lake surface suddenly surged violently, exploding with a booming sound.
As water waves splashed everywhere, over ten snake heads burst out of the water, letting out deafening angry roars that echoed across the lake.
One of the snake heads had blood gushing from its long neck, staining the lake water red.
Su Nan immediately used Master’s Hand to draw the blood over and collect it in the glass tubes he had prepared.
“Roar!”
After realizing that it was Su Nan, the culprit who injured him, the Multi-necked Dragon immediately roared angrily, its ten heads surrounding him from all directions, fiercely biting down on him.
Su Nan remained unfazed. With a thought, Metal Storm swept out.
The man and beast engaged in a fierce battle above the lake.
After about seven or eight minutes, having collected enough blood, Su Nan left without hesitation, and the Multi-necked Dragon couldn’t catch up, only able to roar angrily in the sky behind him.
He rejoined 艾米 and the Stealthy Dragon who were watching the battle from a distance, and the three of them returned to Base 2.
Su Nan immediately took the Stealthy Dragon to the laboratory to perform the bloodline refining operation.
In terms of strength, the Multi-necked Dragon was close to a four-ringed legend, while the Stealthy Dragon wasn’t even a three-ringed legend yet.
The former’s bloodline concentration completely crushed the latter.
As a result, after fusing the purified sub-dragon blood from the Multi-necked Dragon, the Stealthy Dragon’s bloodline concentration directly soared by 0.36%.
In the past, relying solely on extracting the Stealthy Dragon’s own blood, it would have taken at least two to three months to increase that much.
“High-level sub-dragon blood is indeed more effective.”
Su Nan nodded in satisfaction.
Before the Stealthy Dragon’s bloodline concentration surpassed that of the Multi-necked Dragon, 魔暴龙, and other high-level sub-dragon species, its bloodline concentration increase rate would remain at a high speed.
By the time the Stealthy Dragon’s bloodline concentration increase rate slowed down, it would have likely broken through to the four-ringed legend.
At that time, he would have another powerful force in his hands!
After that, even if the bloodline concentration increase rate slowed down, with the abundant supply of high-level sub-dragon blood, he wouldn’t have to worry about the Stealthy Dragon’s ability to withstand it like before when extracting its blood. No matter how much the bloodline concentration increase rate slowed down, it wouldn’t be slower than before.
The Stealthy Dragon becoming a pure-blood dragon was only a matter of time!
