Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 126: Legendary Genius, Identity Exposed

In the quiet room, Su Nan sat cross-legged on the floor, his eyes closed.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of blue light passing through them.

“Whew.”

Su Nan let out a long sigh, a joyous smile appearing on his face.

He opened his panel. The Spiritual Power stat had become 44.11.

As he expected, after absorbing the purified divine energy extracted and synthesized from the divine corpse, his Spiritual Power had surged by a considerable 2.85.

It had to be said that divine energy was incredibly effective in boosting Spiritual Power.

“Now, building the Star Rings should be much faster.”

Su Nan had originally estimated that it would take him at least forty or fifty years to successfully build eighteen Star Rings.

But with this method of increasing Spiritual Power through divine energy, he might be able to advance to a formal Wizard within twenty years.

“Of course, this is all contingent on finding a new source of divine energy.”

The Starfire Sect had now been destroyed, the divine corpse had lost its source of faith power, and its divine grace had been drained. Now it was nothing but a corpse that was exceptionally hard but had no other unique properties.

Its only use would be as experimental material for research.

Perhaps it could be used later for physical transformation experiments.

Su Nan had actually considered leaving the Pope behind, controlling a few high-ranking members to manage the Starfire Sect, and using the sect members to provide faith power that could be transformed into divine grace.

However, something as sinister as the divine corpse could forcibly alter the cognition and will of those who touched it, turning them into fanatic believers, obsessed with reviving the star god.

Such a group of lunatics would be impossible to control.

It would only create a new set of enemies for him.

However, without using the divine blood or sacred artifacts, relying solely on doctrine, he couldn’t develop the religion.

After all, this was a world with extraordinary powers, you couldn’t develop loyal believers capable of providing faith power with just your mouth.

After careful consideration, Su Nan ultimately decided to abandon this idea. Extracting all the divine grace from the divine corpse and putting it in his pocket was the safest course of action.

As for divine energy, it wasn’t exclusive to deities. Many ancestral spirits, totem spirits, and divine creatures also possessed divine energy.

While its concentration was weaker, it didn’t matter. He could use the Magic Cube to synthesize and boost its concentration.

“Speaking of which, most divine creatures have the bloodline of ancient beasts, and their bloodline concentration isn’t low either. If I could find a divine creature, I could also extract its bloodline and make bloodline imprints.”

Su Nan recalled the bloodline imprints he had acquired from Aivegni’s experimental notes.

It was a practical and powerful combat technique.

The only problem was that it required the bloodline of an ancient beast.

However, he had been too busy dealing with matters in the Underworld, and then dealing with the Starfire Sect, that he hadn’t had the time to find descendants of ancient beasts.

“The Underworld seems to have a lot of descendants of ancient beasts. Once this war is over, I’ll spare some time to search for them.”

“I can also post a request in the Mysterious Wooden Hut to buy some clues.”

After finishing his daily meditation routine, Su Nan left the room.

Now, his daily practice of the Star Ring Meditation Method had already reached a staggering proficiency level of 4,500.

At this rate, he should be able to build the fourteenth Star Ring before next year’s Blaze Moon (July).

Leaving the courtyard he lived in, Su Nan headed straight for the main building in the backyard.

He was currently in Spikescale City, located on the border of the White Tower Province, and ten kilometers to the northwest was the territory of the Red Leaf Province.

The armies of Shining Light Territory and White Tower Province had now gathered in Spikescale City, sharpening their swords, waiting for the arrival of supplies and food before attacking the Red Leaf Province and finishing the final battle.

Walking along the path of the Spikescale City Lord’s Manor, there were guards every hundred paces and fully armed patrol teams, making it exceptionally well-guarded.

The security level was even higher when he entered the courtyard where Kei and the White Tower Marquis lived.

In addition to numerous knight guards, there were also dozens of stone magic puppets scattered throughout.

Ten or so double-bladed spiders were perched on the rooftops of the buildings.

A steel magic puppet stood in front of the main building, towering like an iron tower. Whenever someone passed, it would move its iron-like head, its gaze fixed on the person until it confirmed there was no threat, then it would move its head away again.

This made the servants passing by feel terrified, afraid that the giant might suddenly strike them down, turning them into meat paste.

Entering the main building, Su Nan immediately saw Kei and the White Tower Marquis sitting in the hall, seemingly discussing something.

The White Tower Marquis was over sixty years old, but thanks to being a Great Knight, he looked like he was in his early forties, in his prime.

He lived up to that description. It was said that last year he had two sons and a daughter, making a great contribution to his family’s growth.

In fact, this was a common trait among many noble Great Knights.

They would continue to have as many children as possible while they were still capable, leaving more excellent bloodlines behind for the family and thus strengthening the family.

Therefore, having a Great Knight in the family was often a sign of the family’s rise.

If it weren’t for the sudden outbreak of war, the Shining Light Countess might already be pregnant again.

Kei’s thoughts on this matter were similar to those of most noble Great Knights.

However, he actually hoped that Su Nan could have children, leave behind a bloodline with the potential for wizardry. Unfortunately, he couldn’t persuade Su Nan and could only give up.

Seeing Su Nan come in, the White Tower Marquis subconsciously stood up to greet him.

He wouldn’t dare be negligent towards this powerful wizard who had single-handedly wiped out the Starfire Sect and changed the course of the war, even if he was a marquis himself.

“Greetings, Master Su Nan.”

“Greetings, White Tower Marquis.”

The two exchanged greetings.

Kei smiled and said, “Su Nan, you came at the right time. We were just discussing how to attack the Red Leaf Province.”

“Do you have any strategies?” Su Nan asked casually after taking a seat.

“Actually, we wouldn’t really call it a strategy,” the White Tower Marquis chuckled, brimming with confidence. “We’ll just charge in head-on. Our chances of winning are very high!”

It wasn’t strange for the White Tower Marquis to have such a confident air. After all, things were different now.

The combined military strength of Shining Light Territory and the White Tower Province now completely surpassed that of the Red Leaf Province. Even without any strategies, they could directly crush the enemy.

“My father-in-law is right,” Kei agreed, then changed the subject. “The only problem is what you mentioned to me, the three-ring legendary knight who has been hiding for years in the royal family.”

After reading the secret records he had taken from Ovegiu’s study, Su Nan learned that the royal family had produced a brilliant prodigy fifty years ago who had become a three-ring legendary knight at the age of eighty, causing a sensation.

However, this person suddenly disappeared afterwards for unknown reasons.

According to the Starfire Sect’s investigation, the three-ring legendary knight seemed to be living in seclusion within the royal palace of Starlight City.

If it weren’t for the existence of this strong individual, the Starfire Sect would have taken more drastic measures to force the royal family to agree to their demands.

To be honest, Su Nan was skeptical of this information.

After all, the lifespan of a three-ring legendary knight was only one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty years.

If the person was still alive, he would be over one hundred and thirty years old now. Even if he hadn’t died yet, he would be nearing the end of his life, and his strength would have undoubtedly weakened significantly.

Unless he had broken through to the four-ring legendary realm.

But if that were the case, he could have directly intervened to suppress the Starfire Sect. He wouldn’t need to play along with the Starfire Sect. Even if he wanted the secret of eternal life, he could just take it by force.

The strength of a four-ring legendary knight was comparable to that of the top few three-ring wizard apprentices.

Even Ovegiu, who could use divine grace, would not be a match for a four-ring legendary knight.

Su Nan guessed that if this person was still alive and his strength hadn’t diminished, he was probably using some kind of method to extend his lifespan.

No matter what, after learning about the existence of this individual, Su Nan decided to take precautions.

This was also the reason why he had appeared in Spikescale City at this time.

If the person was still alive, he should appear soon.

After all, the war was not far from ending.

“If I’m not mistaken, that person should be Lord Evans.”

The White Tower Marquis had a wistful expression on his face.

“That was when I was still young, just a swordsman-in-training. I hadn’t even touched breathing techniques. I was just a sword-wielding attendant, while Lord Evans was already the youngest three-ring legendary knight in the dukedom, the only one.”

“My grandfather, and the noble children from Lord Evans’ generation, none of them had a talent that could surpass him. From the start of their training, all their peers had been living under his shadow.”

“But then, for some unknown reason, Lord Evans suddenly disappeared without a trace. I asked my grandfather, but he was also very secretive and never told me why.”

Kei sighed, “I never thought the dukedom had such a legendary figure.”

“But we don’t need to worry about it,” the White Tower Marquis chuckled. “We still have Master Su Nan.”

“Even Lord Evans, I’m sure, would be no match for Master Su Nan.”

Kei nodded in agreement.

His confidence in Su Nan’s strength was accumulated through repeated victories. No matter how powerful the enemy, he believed that Su Nan would be able to defeat them.

Su Nan just smiled slightly in response.

He was actually quite curious to meet this Evans.

Late at night, Mysterious Wooden Hut.

Another gathering, three months after the last one.

The participants included Night Owl, Red Heart, Rose, Corpse, Scepter, Black Forest, and Su Nan himself.

Except for the one member who had never shown up, everyone was present.

“Speaking of which, what’s the name of the other member of the Mysterious Wooden Hut, and why doesn’t he ever attend gatherings?”

Su Nan finally couldn’t hold back and asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time.

Night Owl chuckled, “His name is Traveler. He likes to explore and adventure everywhere. He’s often entangled in unexpected events. It’s common for him not to attend gatherings for several years.”

“The last time he appeared, he said he was exploring the Underworld. He didn’t attend any gatherings for three years after that. Maybe he’s already dead somewhere in the Underworld,” Corpse said gloatingly.

The Underworld?

Su Nan thought thoughtfully. It seemed that the code name “Traveler” wasn’t just randomly chosen.

After some pleasantries, the gathering transitioned into the trading process.

With so many participants this time, the entire process lasted for more than half an hour.

When it was Su Nan’s turn, he stated directly, “I need clues about descendants of ancient beast bloodlines.”

Descendants of ancient beast bloodlines?

Everyone looked at each other.

This was a hard thing to find.

Such beings were either extremely powerful or lived in remote places, making them very difficult to find.

Su Nan held up a finger, “One valuable clue for thirty magic stones.”

“I’ll keep an eye out,” Rose immediately said.

The others also agreed.

It was just a clue, they didn’t have to personally capture them, and they could get thirty magic stones for it, which was a great deal!

“Also, I want information about the Eternal Life Society,” Su Nan continued.

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Night Owl asked solemnly, “Have you encountered someone from the Eternal Life Society?”

Su Nan nodded slightly, “It was a three-ring wizard apprentice who controlled insects. He might have fused with some kind of insect beast bloodline.”

“That guy’s name is Ugo. A wizard apprentice who has fused with insect beast bloodline, a very insidious and despicable fellow,” Rose continued.

“Is the Eternal Life Society a wizard apprentice organization like us?”

“More or less.”

Night Owl nodded.

“The Eternal Life Society is also established by wizard apprentices with similar ideals.”

“It’s just that their ideals are completely different from ours.”

“The wizard apprentices of the Eternal Life Society are dedicated to the pursuit of eternal life. They believe that with enough lifespan, they can eventually become wizards. Therefore, they will stop at nothing to pursue any method that can extend their lifespan.”

Black Forest snorted, “The Eternal Life Society is a bunch of lunatics. They would do anything for eternal life. For example, the beast transformation disaster that Herb created was just a matter of routine for those in the Eternal Life Society.”

“But those lunatics have always been active in the northwest of the continent. Why would they suddenly go to Starlight…”

Midway through his sentence, Black Forest suddenly realized he had slipped up. He gave an awkward laugh and closed his mouth, no longer speaking.

The others also remained silent.

Starlight Duchy was located in the southeast of the continent, separated from the northwest by thousands of kilometers. It wasn’t strange for Black Forest to have this question.

But the problem was, how did he know that Su Nan had encountered Ugo in Starlight Duchy?

Su Nan swept his gaze around, taking in the reactions of everyone present. He instantly understood.

It seemed that the members of the Mysterious Wooden Hut already knew his identity.

Su Nan was actually prepared for this situation.

The things he had done in Blackstone City and Gold Rock Province were just things that happened in one province of Starlight Duchy. It wasn’t a big deal in the many countries of the southeast of the continent. It wasn’t strange that the members of the Mysterious Wooden Hut couldn’t know about it immediately, given their widespread presence across the Starlight Continent.

But when he had used magic stones to lure them to collect divine blood amber, he had already attracted their attention to Starlight Duchy and the Starfire Sect. Recently, he had done things like wiping out the Starfire Sect and overthrowing the royal family. It was impossible for them not to know now.

If they still couldn’t guess his identity at this point, then the members of the Mysterious Wooden Hut were simply too dull.

However, Su Nan didn’t care.

Now, he had established his influence and possessed many trump cards, including the Golden Apple, Magic Emblem Core, and high-level rune gems. Even if multiple wizard apprentices surrounded him, he was confident in his ability to crush them.

At this point, he no longer cared much about exposing his identity.

After all, if he wanted to quickly improve his strength, he inevitably had to do a lot of high-profile things, and exposing his identity was only a matter of time.

As long as he had enough power, he didn’t need to worry about the consequences of exposing his identity.

“Ahem.”

Night Owl coughed lightly, breaking the silence.

“In any case, those guys from the Eternal Life Society are reckless. It’s not a good thing to be targeted by them.”

“Player, you better be careful.”

“I will,” Su Nan replied calmly.
