Synthesis Wizard

Everyone was silent for a while.

Finally, Hei Lin coughed lightly and said, "I happen to have a design of a special model of puppet here, but it's not a flying type. Do you want it?"

"Can I take a look first?"

"Of course."

Taking the design from Hei Lin, Sunan opened it and was stunned.

The name of the puppet was written on the top of the design - Gem Golem!

This strange name immediately aroused his interest.

He continued to look down, and his expression gradually became strange.

The names of different golems are generally based on their main constituent materials.

For example, the steel golem with steel as the main material, and the stone golem with rock as the main material.

Since the existence of wizard civilization, wizards have developed too many types of materials for refining golems, including some very strange materials, such as flesh and blood, bones, and even magic ropes and roller shutters.

There are all kinds of strange materials.

But it's the first time that Sunan has heard of gems as materials.

It's not that gems are not suitable as materials, but there is one main reason - expensive!

No matter what a wizard makes, the first thing he must pay attention to is the cost-effectiveness.

Whether it is a magic item, a puppet or a potion, no matter how significant the effect is, if the cost far exceeds the value it should have, then the item is a failure.

It is precisely because of this that no one has ever thought of using gems to refine a golem.

However, the author of this design dared to do something that others would not do.

His idea is to use diamonds as the main body, supplemented by various gems to build the golem body, and then engrave a certain number of second-ring spells on it, refer to the skills of the "gem spell" school, and use gems to amplify the spell power, and finally refine a gem golem that can release multiple spells.

I have to admit that this idea is very creative.

The golem constructed with diamonds as the main body, needless to say, is so hard that even the adamantium golem may not be able to compare with it.

The idea of ​​using gems to amplify the power of spells is also very clever.

Under the amplification of gems, the spell power released by the gem golem is definitely not inferior to the three-ring spell.

A golem with an indestructible body that can release spells comparable to the power of the third ring has such strong combat power that even an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice may not be able to match it!

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this concept has two very obvious flaws.

The first is the difficulty of manufacturing.

To engrave a second-ring spell in the golem's body so that it can release spells, it is more difficult than to permanently fix a second-ring spell on a magic item.

With Sunan's level 4 [Magic Item Manufacturing], he failed several times to fix a second-ring spell on his robe. If he wants to engrave a second-ring spell, he may have to fail dozens or hundreds of times before he can succeed.

Even Sunan is like this, not to mention other wizard apprentices.

Others do not have such good conditions as Sunan, and have a lot of resources to practice and improve magic item manufacturing skills.

For an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice, it can be said that he has excellent talent if he can reach the standard of level 2 in [Magic Item Manufacturing].

Furthermore, if you want to use gems to increase the power of spells, the refiner must also master the knowledge of ‘gem spells’.

But this knowledge has long disappeared from the Starlight Continent with the departure of the gem magic school.

Now there is no one to learn this knowledge.

The second defect is naturally the cost issue.

To make a gem golem, the gems needed are probably calculated in tons, and the final cost is probably hundreds of millions of gold coins.

Even the most wealthy wizards cannot afford such an astonishing consumption.

Even if they grit their teeth and squeeze out the funds for refining, they spent so much money just to refine a golem that is more powerful than the average third-level wizard apprentice?

Only a prodigal can do this!

Even in the future when the gem insect swarm grows and can produce gems in large quantities, Sunan will not waste gems on this.

In his opinion, this design is almost not practical.

In fact, according to the author of the design, he only stayed at the conception stage and has not yet really refined the finished product.

After reading the design, Sunan pondered for a while, and looked at Heilin playfully: "What do you plan to trade for this design?"

"Three magic stones, how about it?"

Heilin also knew that this design was unreliable, so he offered a very cheap price for the puppet design.

Sunan thought about it for a while and agreed.

Although this design is whimsical, it is not completely without learning points.

Take it back and study it carefully, maybe you can design a new type of puppet based on it.

The last transaction was completed, and the party ended here.

Before parting, Heilin waved to Sunan and smiled: "Player, if you are interested in puppets, I still have a rare puppet design. Bring it to me next time I attend the party."

Sunan was slightly startled, and then nodded and said: "Then I will wait and see."

Time passed in a flash.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the month of Xialong. The fierce sun was high in the sky, and the weather became extremely hot.

Base.

Sherman just came out of the pharmacy laboratory and ran into Atil who came out of the opposite room.

The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Are you here to make potions too?"

"Yes, after spending so long, I finally successfully produced the first bottle of secondary dragon blood potion."

Adil shook the potion bottle in his hand, and the bright red liquid inside swayed slightly.

As the first batch of students to enter the base, Sherman, Corey and Atil have now learned how to make zero-level potions.

It's just that Sherman and Corey have made faster progress and have already mastered the relatively more difficult secondary dragon blood potions and secondary active potions among the zero-order potions.

On the contrary, Adil made slow progress, and it was only today that he finally produced the secondary dragon blood potion.

"Making potions is not everything a wizard apprentice does, so don't worry too much about it."

Seeing Adil's depressed look, Sherman racked his brains to find words of comfort, and finally just squeezed out this dry sentence.

This look made Atil laugh.

"There's no need to force it. I know my own business. My talent is indeed not as good as yours and Corey's. I'll probably be the only one to die as a second-level wizard apprentice in this life."

"On the other hand, you and Kore might be promoted to the third level wizard apprentice!"

Sherman grinned and said nothing.

To be promoted to the third level wizard apprentice, the first condition is to build nine star rings.

And he has spent more than three years, but still has not built the third star ring, and the nine star rings are simply far away.

"I heard that the new knight academy has recently started enrolling students?" Atil asked about another topic.

"That's right." A smile appeared on Sherman's face. "When I went to see old Roger a few days ago, I heard from him that many people had gone to enroll."

What Sherman regrets most about the base is that there are very few students from the same background as him.

The vast majority of students are either from middle-class families or from aristocratic families.

So much so that he couldn't even find a few friends with whom he could talk.

This is not to say that others are bad.

Like Atil and Ethan, although they were from good backgrounds, they never looked down on him, and they were always very gentle with him.

It's just that the two sides have different backgrounds and different views. After all, it is difficult to get along truly harmoniously.

The newly established Knight Academy is said to only recruit students from civilians and farmers. After graduation, they will join the base to form the Knight Guard.

In this way, at least the base will not be filled with people from middle class and aristocratic backgrounds.

At this time, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the distance.

Sherman turned around and saw a group of boys and girls walking towards this side. The leader was Ethan, who had a good relationship with him.

The group of boys and girls soon noticed Sherman and Atil, and waved and said hello.

"Senior Sherman!"

"Senior Atil!"

Adil said hello with a smile and asked: "Seeing that you are so happy, what good thing happened?"

Ethan smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that Skinner finally mastered the first spell, and everyone is happy for him."

Skinner is one of the second batch of freshmen entering the base, and he is also the youngest among them. He is only thirteen years old. He is fair and fair, and is well taken care of and loved by everyone.

"What kind of spell is it?" Artil looked at Skinner with a smile.

"Mage's Hand!"

It seemed that Skinner's face turned red with excitement because of being in the limelight in front of the most popular senior student Artil, and he opened his mouth to cast a spell to show Artil. Fortunately, Sherman saw the opportunity and stopped him quickly.

"Don't be impulsive."

Sherman pointed to the trees not far away.

A red-eyed crow was sitting on a branch, staring at the group of them with its dark eyes.

Skinner finally reacted, was startled and quickly shut his mouth.

After the third batch of students entered the base, considering the increase in the number of students and in order to facilitate management, the base began to implement strict regulations and improve order. Violators will be punished by confinement and deduction of contribution points.

Among them is the regulation that prohibits the release of spells in places other than spell practice areas and laboratories. Violators will have a certain contribution value deducted.

To Skinner, that was a painful sum.

After coming back to his senses, Skinner quickly thanked Sherman.

"Don't worry about it." Sherman waved his hand and smiled, "Just remember to pay attention next time."

The atmosphere became relaxed again.

After chatting and joking for a while, Ethan and others left and went straight to the magic practice area.

Their original purpose was also there.

"Where are you going next?" Atil asked.

"Go to the task release board and take a look at it and take on a few tasks."

"I happen to want to take on the mission too, so let's go together."

The two of them came to the warehouse together, saluted and said hello to Miss Geli who was sitting there basking in the sun, and then came to the publishing board.

To their surprise, Corey was also there.

Seeing Sherman and Atil, Corey nodded slightly as a greeting, and then continued to wander around the bulletin board.

Sherman walked over and took a look and found that there were many new tasks on it.

For example, feeding ores to the gem bugs in the insect nest.

Collect pure gems produced by gem bugs.

Demonize the forelimbs of the double-edged spider.

Refining stone golems and more.

Suddenly there are more than ten new tasks.

"A new camp has been built in the northern forest. Do you know about this?" Kore said suddenly.

"I heard about it," Adil replied.

Sherman nodded as well.

They had long known that a mineral vein had been discovered in the forest north of Glitter City. Under the mineral vein was connected to the entrance to the underground world, and there was an underground city-state ruled by a human-faced lion.

The newly established Camp No. 1 is said to be for monitoring the movements of the Lion City-State.

As for the source of these news, it is naturally Master Amy.

Master Amy often brings them some new and interesting experiences, and occasionally they can hear the teacher's adventure stories, which is a rare bit of fun in their boring practice life.

"Master Amy told me that the teacher is going to wage war against the Lion City-State."

Sheman and Atil were surprised.

But on second thought, this matter seems to have been foreshadowed.

For example, all the gems collected from the gem worm nest were sent to Camp No. 1, mostly for refining stone golems.

The additional refining stone golem tasks on the release board are obviously due to this reason.

"I plan to ask the teacher to let me participate in the war." Corey said shockingly.

"Participate in the war?"

Atil and Sheman looked at each other, both a little surprised.

"Isn't it too risky?"

"Yeah, that level of war is not something we can participate in."

The soldiers who participated in the war were either the weakest of the human-faced sphinxes, who were close to the strength of the knights, or the knight-level stone golems and double-bladed spiders.

There were even great knights and legendary knights!

If a first-level wizard apprentice participated in a war of this level, he would die if he was not careful.

"That's right, meow, it's too early for you to want to participate in the war."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, and Atil felt his shoulders sink slightly. He turned his head and looked, and what came into his sight was Amy's snow-white cat body.

"Lord Amy!"

Amy licked her paw and said lazily:

"A first-level wizard apprentice can barely deal with one or two knights. It's barely enough to participate in your human war, but going to fight the Sphinx is just suicide."

"Wait until you become a second-level wizard apprentice."

Corey frowned and said, "Lord Amy, I just hope that the teacher can allow me to take this opportunity to gain more contribution points and speed up my strength improvement. Besides, fighting may help me break through the bottleneck."

"Why does it sound like a dark wizard's approach?"

Amy tilted her head, waved her paw and said crisply:

"It's up to you. I can tell Sunan for you, but don't hold too much hope."

A hint of joy flashed across Corey's face: "Thank you, Lord Amy!"

"What about you?" Amy looked at the other two.

Attier shook his head.

The few spells she mastered were all auxiliary spells, and there was no attack spell. Going to the battlefield was no different from suicide.

Sheman also shook his head.

He was not like Corey, who was obsessed with improving his strength.

He enjoys his current state very much. He can get in touch with new knowledge every day and feel his progress every day.

This process of gradually unveiling the veil and understanding the world makes him very immersed.

He prefers to proceed step by step and make steady progress instead of rushing forward.
