Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 410 - 243: Everything Is Ready (Part 2)

Currently, the Star Alliance doesn’t have many wizard-level puppets, only about three hundred in total, so the number of self-destructive gems to be made isn’t very high either.

After spending more than half a month making the self-destructive gems and installing them on all the wizard-level puppets, Sunan focused entirely on spiritual concentration.

To improve the efficiency for wizards collecting elemental crystal dust, Sunan allowed wizards taking on collection tasks to temporarily hire the Golem Legion at a low cost to eliminate the elementals.

Thanks to this, the amount of elemental crystal dust collected by the wizards in recent years has skyrocketed significantly.

However, the doubts about why Sunan values elemental crystal dust so much have been rampant among the wizards.

Although Lize was also somewhat curious, she didn’t inquire further and instead helped Sunan suppress this issue.

Sunan ignored the outside matters, and with sufficient divinity energy supply, his spiritual refinement level progressed faster than expected.

The time spent cultivating always passes swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, they entered the Starlight Calendar year 1930.

With the Star Alliance sparing no effort in resource allocation, the Witch Hunting Legion was finally formed.

"Three hundred Master-Touch Puppets and fifty Secret Puppets—this number of wizard-level puppets should be enough to deal with the vanguard of the Dark Throne."

In the study, after reading the documents, Sunan said with a smile.

Lize glanced at him, saying, "How do you sound like you know how many are in the Dark Throne’s vanguard?"

"Just guessing. With the position barrier yet to be fully restored, if the Dark Throne were to enter the Starlight Continent early, their numbers and strength levels would be greatly restricted."

Sunan casually brushed it off.

In reality, he knew not only how many people were in the Dark Throne’s vanguard but also their specific strength conditions were clear to him.

He just wasn’t sure if future events would be the same as his memories.

After all, with him as the butterfly flapping its wings, the current state of the Starlight Continent has already become vastly different from his memories, and the future is likely to change as well.

Lize nodded without asking further.

In fact, she quite agreed with what Sunan said.

Given the current strength of the Star Alliance, unless the Dark Throne sends out dozens of Level 2 Wizards at one go or dispatches Level 3 Wizards, it can’t pose a threat to the Star Alliance.

However, neither is very realistic.

The unrepaired position barrier can’t allow Level 3 Wizards to pass through, nor can it accommodate dozens of Level 2 Wizards at the same time.

Moreover, on further thought, the Dark Throne doesn’t know the current situation of the Starlight Continent and probably still thinks there aren’t even wizards here, so they won’t send a too powerful wizard team.

By the time the Dark Throne realizes the Star Alliance’s true strength, it might be too late.

"In fifty to sixty years, the vanguard of the Dark Throne should arrive. The Star Alliance should prepare early. I’ll go into closed-door cultivation next, and I’ll leave the specific arrangements to you. Tell me immediately if you spot anyone from the Dark Throne."

"Understood." Lize nodded.

Regarding Sunan going into closed-door cultivation again, she appeared very calm.

Having witnessed Sunan’s terrifying speed of strength enhancement, she’s now no longer surprised or possibly numb to it.

If Sunan’s strength improvement were slow, she’d be surprised instead.

Returning to the top floor of the Wizard Tower, Sunan saw the Hidden Dragon lying by the Elemental Pool, looking drowsy.

Amy was lying on its back, licking its paws listlessly.

Not until Sunan appeared did it perk up, leaping more than ten meters in an instant and landing on Sunan’s shoulder in mid-air.

"Meow, Sunan, why did you come so late? Hidden Dragon and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

The crisp call woke the Hidden Dragon, who opened its eyes, saw Sunan, and then nudged its owner with its head, letting out a low growl.

Sunan smiled and patted the Hidden Dragon’s head.

Giant Dragons by nature become stronger as they age, and with Sunan’s long-term synthetic dragon blood supply, the Hidden Dragon’s power improvement far surpasses that of ordinary Giant Dragons, its strength now on par with a Level 1 Crystallization Wizard.

In the entire Star Alliance, apart from Sunan, the Hidden Dragon is the strongest.

"Why did you suddenly come looking for me, is something up?" Sunan asked Amy.

The little creature knows he’s busy and rarely disturbs him.

Most of the time, it stays with the Hidden Dragon or occasionally seeks out Lize.

As one who has experienced the wizarding heyday of a millennium ago, Lize and Amy have quite a bit in common.

For Amy, Lize’s presence provides another companion to chat with, bringing much joy to the little creature.

And Lize is very interested in this magic pet, which itself has almost no combat capabilities but can traverse spaces, and she is equally curious about Amy’s mysterious owner, frequently using chatting opportunities to gather intelligence.

Thus, the ghost and the cat get along quite well.

"Is the position barrier of the Starlight Continent about to recover, meow?" Amy asked with eager eyes.

"Who told you that?"

"Sherman told me, meow!"

"That’s true."

Sunan didn’t hide it. He was well aware that deep down, Amy earnestly longed to see her owner.

"In about seventy years, the position barrier will be fully restored, and then the Starlight Continent will revert to its state from a thousand years ago."

Amy immediately became excited: "Does that mean I can see my owner, meow?"

"Of course." Sunan nodded with a smile. "Even if your owner hasn’t returned to the Starlight Continent by then, I will help you find your owner."

Amy has helped him quite a bit; this wish Sunan will certainly strive to fulfill for Amy.

"My owner will definitely come back for Amy, meow!" Amy said without hesitation.

The little creature still firmly believes her owner didn’t abandon her on purpose, there must be an unavoidable reason behind it.

Sunan smiled and acquiesced with a comment.

The place where Amy initially went into slumber left behind many magical items, evidently left in haste, so the little creature’s speculation might have some merit.

But Amy’s owner is a True Spirit Descendant, possessing significant strength. What kind of urgent situation would make her owner leave in such a hurry without the magical pet?

Or, perhaps Amy’s owner left her behind deliberately to keep her from being drawn into danger?

Sunan didn’t linger on it too much. Anyway, everything will be clear once Amy’s owner is found.

Having received confirmation from Sunan, Amy was in unusually high spirits, leaving with the Hidden Dragon to who knows where for more fun.

Sunan smiled, not minding at all.

As a Giant Dragon, the Hidden Dragon doesn’t need to cultivate, apart from sleeping and occasionally undergoing bloodline fusion, the rest of its time is spent idly. Having Amy as a play companion is a good thing, preventing it from constantly bullying the Sub-dragon Species in Area 1 and Area 2.

"Tower Spirit 1, scan the Wizard Tower’s status."

[Command received, starting scan... Scan complete.]

A three-dimensional model swiftly appeared before him.

After the construction of the Starlight Wizard Tower was completed, due to limitations in materials and funding, Sunan didn’t make sweeping upgrades, but gradual improvements in certain areas have been taking place.

For example, the synthesis upgrade of the Floating Ring greatly enhanced the Wizard Tower’s mobility.

Also, the improvements made to the Spell Tower II and the Dissociation Cannon II mainly aimed at reducing energy consumption.

With Tower Spirit 2 acting as an experimental assistant, and having received numerous suggestions from Lize, the experimental improvement results were considerable.

Originally, the number of Spell Tower II’s in the Starlight Wizard Tower was slightly exceeding the limit, with as many as three hundred mounts, which was a significant burden on energy.

However, after improvements, when the three hundred Spell Tower II’s fire in unison, the energy consumption is less than 10%, significantly reducing the burden.

Moreover, the energy consumption of the Dissociation Cannon II has decreased to below 8%, showing a one-third reduction from the original, a significant improvement.

"Once the position seal is lifted, it’s time to start collecting the manufacturing technology of Plasma Cannons and Pulse Cannons to enhance long-range strike firepower."

Sunan waved away the three-dimensional model, sat cross-legged beside the Elemental Pool, and began to absorb the Elemental Crystal Core.

His spiritual refinement level has already exceeded 70%, and at the current pace, it should take at most seventy to eighty more years to break through to Level 2 Crystallization.

By then, even if the Dark Throne really finds a way to send Level 3 Wizards over, he would have no fear whatsoever.

Everything is ready now, and the next step is just to wait for the enemy to arrive.
