Synthetic Wizard

Sunan waved his hand, dividing the enchantment processing of the construction materials into different tasks, leaving them to be handled by the students of Starlight Academy.

This foundational work can be undertaken by Level 1 Wizard Apprentices with a certain basis in enchantments.

“The collection of white jade can be taken slowly, but quality must be emphasized,” Sunan instructed.

White marble, with its white color and fine grain, is hard and is an excellent material for construction and carving.

It naturally has a weak magic conductivity, and after enchantment processing, its performance is significantly enhanced. It can be used to strengthen the deployed element array and is very suitable for building elemental pools and meditation areas.

In addition, after being enhanced by magic, white jade becomes extremely strong, capable of withstanding the impact of spells below the third tier, making it also suitable for constructing spell training rooms.

The only drawback is its high cost.

“What about the other materials?” Sunan put down the list and asked.

Carolina respectfully replied, “We have already collected magic steel ingots and high-grade gemstones, but we are still missing three-fifths of auric crystals, secret technique dust, and Star Realm sand. I have dispatched more personnel to gather them everywhere.”

“Additionally, I am currently requesting the Starlight Empire to assist the Star Alliance in acquiring surface world’s silver mines, classifying silver mines as strategic resources under our control, greatly increasing mithril production.”

Sunan nodded slightly.

The Wizard Tower has many large-scale facilities, including but not limited to elemental pools, elemental melting furnaces, maze lock protective energy fields, floating rings, and long-range strike devices.

All these facilities require a large number of rare materials, including mithril.

The Starlight Continent lacks trade channels with other dimensions, so all resources have to be self-produced. Collection is naturally very slow and mostly relies on gradually accumulating resources over time.

Moreover, some materials are not available at all on the Starlight Continent, so Sunan has to find ways to research substitute materials on his own.

Without the synthesis cube, building a Wizard Tower on the Starlight Continent would be nothing more than a pipe dream.

Carolina’s ability to gather a considerable amount of rare materials in such a short time is already an outstanding demonstration of her capability.

Sunan naturally wouldn’t be too demanding.

“Well done.”

Receiving praise from her master, Carolina couldn’t suppress the joy on her face.

The Red Widow, observing from the side, inwardly sneered.

What’s there to be smug about?

As she secretly scoffed, Sunan suddenly turned to look at her.

“What’s happening on the surface lately?”

Carolina mainly handled underground affairs, while the Red Widow was responsible for surface matters.

Upon hearing Sunan’s question, the Red Widow immediately perked up and respectfully replied:

“Master, a month ago, the Starlight Empire officially launched an attack on the Northwest Domain.”

Sunan raised an eyebrow, although he felt little surprise in his heart.

Nearly seven years had passed since the unification of the Southeastern Domain, and the Starlight Empire had almost fully digested its previous success and stabilized the situation in the Southeastern Domain.

It was not unusual for them to now advance into the Northwest Domain.

But if it were only this, the Red Widow wouldn’t specifically report it to Sunan at this time, so he indicated for her to continue.

“Five days ago, His Majesty Kei sent a letter requesting us to send high-level combat support.”

Sunan finally showed a hint of surprise on his face: “What’s the reason?”

With the current military strength of the Starlight Empire, they should be capable of conquering the Northwest Domain, so why would they seek aid from the Star Alliance?

The Red Widow replied with a strange expression: “All the countries in the Northwest Domain have united to resist the Starlight Empire. Moreover, under the mediation of the Russell Clan, almost all Level 3 Wizard Apprentices in the Northwest Domain have united to assassinate the commanders of the empire’s various military forces in the war. Due to these individuals, the empire has been overwhelmed recently, unable to advance the front lines, so they asked us for aid.”

“The Russell Clan?” Sunan became interested. “What’s the story with this clan?”

Level 3 Wizard Apprentices are often reclusive, capricious, or arrogant individuals, so gathering them together would be no easy task.

The fact that the Russell Clan could achieve such a feat is indeed surprising.

The Red Widow handed a document to Sunan while explaining:

“The Russell Clan is a thousand-year-old wizard clan with deep foundations. It is said their ancestors were wizards from a millennium ago. Although they do not constitute the royal family of any country, they are respected by all nations in the Northwest Domain.”

“Moreover, the Russell Clan has high prestige among Wizard Apprentices. Many have interacted with them and received their assistance, so they often give them face in many matters.”

“The reason the Level 3 Wizard Apprentices in the Northwest Domain could put aside their differences to join forces this time is that Fakado Russell, the current head of the Russell Clan, personally came forth to lobby everywhere.”

Sunan opened the document, which listed the intelligence on the Russell Clan, including its members.

The current head, Fakado Russell, is 156 years old and a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice, ranking in the top three in the entire Northwest Domain in terms of strength.

Below him, the Russell Clan has a total of sixteen Wizard Apprentices.

Among them are three Level 3 Wizard Apprentices, five Level 2 Wizard Apprentices, and eight Level 1 Wizard Apprentices.

Even this scale is no less than some Wizard Apprentice organizations.

It must be said that the Russell Clan indeed has the credentials and power for all countries and Wizard Apprentices to respect.

“A thousand-year-old wizard clan, huh.”

Sunan mused.

This reminded him of the Kessler Clan.

The Kessler Clan’s ancestors were also wizards, and their lineage also spans over a thousand years.

However, the Kessler Clan fared much worse than the Russell Clan, not even having a single Wizard Apprentice.

The only Tier Three Legendary Knight they had is now dead.

The last remaining family member is also missing, with no knowledge of whether they’re still alive in the world.

“The Kessler Clan’s ancestors left them clues to the Starfall Tower. Likewise, could the Russell Clan’s ancestors have left them clues about wizard heritage?”

Three words flashed in Sunan’s mind: Fallen Star City.

Perhaps the final clue to the three major wizard heritages lies with this Russell Clan.

“Send Secret Puppet No. 1 and No. 2,” Sunan closed the document, “Capture members of the Russell Clan alive if possible, especially Fakado Russell. I need to question him for some intel.”

“Yes, Master,” the Red Widow replied respectfully.

Sunan waved his hand, and the two women tactfully took their leave.

As they left the study, Carolina suddenly asked, “Are you personally leading the team to the Northwest Domain?”

“Of course,” the Red Widow glanced at her with a smile, “The Master clearly values the capture of the Russell Clan members, so I must personally oversee it.”

Carolina gave her a deep look and said meaningfully, “I hope you don’t disappoint the Master.”

The Red Widow maintained her smile and chuckled, “With two Secret Puppets, I don’t foresee any difficulty in this operation.”

For those high up in the Star Alliance, the combat strength of the Secret Puppets isn’t a secret.

Two puppets with combat power comparable to wizards, dealing with a group of Level 3 Wizard Apprentices, cannot even be compared to a strongman bullying a child.

It’s more like a fully-armored knight against an unarmed child!

The outcome won’t hold any surprises!

Over the millennia, the Russell Clan likely has no clue about the power of wizards anymore.

Otherwise, they would never undertake the absurd action of uniting a group of Level 3 Wizard Apprentices to oppose wizards.

Only those who have witnessed the might of wizards understand that such an action is nothing but a futile attempt.

The Master doesn’t even need to appear personally; the two Secret Puppets could already put those clowns to rout.

Carolina naturally understood this as well. Pursing her lips, she said no more and turned to leave.

As she watched her leave, the Red Widow’s smile slowly faded, and she scoffed.

No matter how long they worked together, she couldn’t stand that pretentious woman.
