Werewolf wizard

Chapter 175: I Want to See the Underground Hiding Faction's Wizards!

Inside the mine's gazebo, Su Nan said to the female arcanist, Song Zhong: "Tell me more about the Black Rye Main City's underground world area. What resources are there, what are the important areas, how many troops are there, and how many arcanists as powerful as you are there?"

Su Nan thought for a moment and asked, "Oh right, also, in the underground world, are there still wizards? If so, do you know where they are?"

The reason he asked this was because he really needed the research data of the Underground Hiding Faction's wizards.

The reason was that he encountered a serious problem when improving the werewolves.

This problem might be the same problem that Kelmoth Wolf Fort encountered, as recorded in the Oak Wizard's diary more than two thousand years ago. That's why the werewolves, who were exterminated by the energy world more than two thousand years ago, were so weak.

[Unable to possess magic pressure!]

This was a very serious problem.

Because the orthodox wizard society, at least in the path they took more than two thousand years ago, was to increase their soul power to 80 times, and then convert ordinary mental radiation pressure into magic pressure.

This was a further direction. Finally, when becoming a formal wizard, the magic pressure would combine with the defensive spell model, forming a constant defensive array to protect oneself, further improving the life level, thereby obtaining spiritual power and magic power, and even further possibilities.

Previously, the Oak Wizard didn't have this constant defensive array (a first-circle constant defense spell) because his spiritual power was probably less than 80 after more than two thousand years of consumption and random choices of possession.

And the problem with werewolves was that this race, which almost exclusively relied on melee combat and directly used magical energy and fire magic elements as their blood for fighting…

Their spiritual power was not high, making it difficult for them to follow the path of wizards and break through to the fourth sublimation state.

The AI was also deducing ways to solve this problem.

The most crucial issue was the lack of magic pressure.

Because in the process of improving the life level, magic pressure was like a new body for a higher life level. This was the path for the orthodox wizard society to further improve.

Although Su Nan could also have the werewolves practice meditation.

But firstly, not every werewolf had the talent for meditation.

Secondly, this would mean the werewolves were going down the wrong path.

The path to life sublimation was broken, and halfway through, it connected to the path of wizards.

And werewolves were currently the biggest product of his magic potion system, so if the problem of the werewolf's fourth sublimation couldn't be solved, it meant that his magic potion system would be stuck here.

Su Nan believed that over the millennia, there might have been wizard apprentices who had taken the same path as him, but perhaps they, like him, were stuck at this hurdle and then chose to give up.

After all, if mental radiation couldn't be converted into magic pressure, then the body would lack strength and it would be difficult to reach the next level.

Su Nan originally wanted to capture some energy creatures and try to find a solution by studying their bodies.

But in fact, there was an even better option.

Su Nan looked at his female arcanist slave in front of him, Song Zhong.

The Underground Hiding Faction's wizards all followed the path of creature modification in the conjuration school, and they treated the underground world as their huge experimental field.

Deeper in the underground world, there were even more dangerous creatures that they had left behind and created.

If he could obtain the experimental data results of the Underground Hiding Faction's wizards, it would be equivalent to directly obtaining their research data of at least a thousand years!

Even if the Underground Hiding Faction's wizards were useless, their information would definitely be helpful to him.

Song Zhong felt uneasy under Su Nan's gaze, but she was even more surprised by something else. "You… surface dweller master, how do you know that I have information about the wizards? I haven't told anyone this…"

She looked terrified.

Information about wizards was an absolute taboo in this underground world. Even if she was an arcanist, she couldn't say the word 'wizard' and couldn't be associated with wizards.

In the past, there were arcanists who sympathized with and tried to understand wizards, but they were all cruelly killed by the arcanists in the arcanist society.

Su Nan raised his eyebrows. He only noticed that when he mentioned that the drow's ancestors were humans, she showed a look of remembrance and chilling realization, so he guessed that she might know something.

He didn't expect that she really had information about the wizards of the underground world.

Then he was quite lucky. He didn't catch the wrong slave.

Su Nan said, "You are now a wizard's slave. What are you afraid of from your arcanist compatriots?"

Song Zhong bit her lip bitterly. "That's true. Surface dweller master, six months ago, in the diamond mining area of the underground world, I discovered a magical shadow left behind by someone suspected to be a wizard, bewitching people… no, trying to transmit information to us."

"I was hesitating whether to tell my mother."

"But before I could figure it out, I fell into your hands."

Song Zhong recalled for a moment. "The Black Rye Main City is located in the upper layer of the underground world, but the distance from the lower layer to the upper layer is far, and there are only a few fixed passages. In addition, it's cold here, so creatures from the lower layer generally don't come here."

"They can't stand the cold weather here."

"We call this the temperature gradient."

"The closer you get to the depths of the underground world, the higher the temperature will be. The temperature in the middle layer of the underground world should be above one hundred degrees Celsius!"

"Originally, there were several main cities in this upper layer of the underground world, but under my mother's continuous wars, she spent a hundred years unifying this area."

"My mother is already over one hundred and fifty years old."

"So, we are currently the only underground city attacking the surface. Because we are closest to the surface, we are also the most likely to feel the arrival of the magic tide."

Song Zhong said, "Black Rye Underground Domain, that's the name of this place…"

"The main source of food for the Black Rye Underground Domain is the volcanoes of this underground world. Some volcanoes were even summoned by my mother, using powerful arcane magic to guide the flow of the earth's mantle, resulting in artificial volcanoes."

"The thermal energy generated by these volcanoes continuously provides for our main food crop, the 【Red Milk Volcano Mushroom】. This mushroom has a very large yield. As long as there is enough thermal energy, it can produce continuous patches of mushrooms within a week."

"The more advanced food in the underground world, the food of arcanists, is a more delicious mushroom… Milk Cap Mushrooms and Black Tiger Paw Mushrooms, those are delicious mushrooms that only grow in volcanic craters."

Brom started to feel like something was wrong. "Wait, do you only eat mushrooms in the underground world?"

Song Zhong looked at Brom with a somewhat confused expression. "What else would we eat?"

"For the creatures of the underground world, being able to eat Black Tiger Paw Mushrooms and Milk Cap Mushrooms three times a day is already a very luxurious thing. That is food only arcanists can eat."

Brom looked at Su Nan and Warwick.

At that moment, the three of them exchanged glances, and then all looked at the female arcanist Song Zhong, who was still savoring the deliciousness of the two 'precious' mushrooms.

The three of them finally understood why the underground army of Black Rye Main City was so desperately trying to attack the surface world…

Song Zhong continued to recall. "The most important resource points in the Black Rye Domain are two Aether Stone Mines, five Stasis Iron Mines, seventeen Iron Mines, eight Copper Mines, one Diamond Mine, one Gold Mine, one Diamond Mine, two Silver Mines, and also a Jade Mine, a Sapphire Mine, and two Ruby Veins."

"And the thirty-one underground volcano mushroom cultivation areas I mentioned earlier."

"Apart from Black Rye Main City, there are no other cities here. All the cities were demolished by Mother, and the walls of those cities were moved back to Black Rye Main City to serve as the city walls of Black Rye Main City."

"Apart from Black Rye Main City, the rest of this area is full of scattered villages and town gatherings. There are also a large number of monsters in the wild. The most dangerous of these monsters are those left behind by wizards."

"The size of the Black Rye Domain should be about the same as your surface's Southern Seres Military Region."

Su Nan nodded.

It seemed that the underground world was indeed a natural metal world. Just the Black Rye Domain alone had so many mineral veins, as well as the Stasis Iron and Aether Stone veins unique to the underground world.

The most important thing was that there were actually gold, silver, and diamond mines, as well as ruby and sapphire veins.

This was really…

As long as he could mine them, it would be equivalent to helping the Storm Kingdom colonize a new continent.

The continuous stream of expensive metals would be brought to the surface by Peter, and might even drive down the price of gold in the surface world, causing inflation…

It was just like the Spanish Empire in his previous life, which caused inflation in Europe.

However, although the Spanish royal family gained enormous wealth as a result, they squandered it all, because they only used gold to purchase a large amount of materials from other countries, which instead helped other countries develop their industries…

However, as long as he used gold to develop the industry and agriculture of his own territory, it wouldn't matter.

Moreover, his magic research consumed a lot of money every day!

If he could occupy this Black Rye Domain, his secular money problems would be solved. Maple Leaf City could even get a lot of funds, possibly even more extravagant than the previous Othello family.

Su Nan had a feeling of dimensional reduction. When the Othello family was running around on the surface oceans, fussing over a tiny bit of foreign gold coins, he was directly discovering a 'new continent' underground.

Old Butler Warwick also realized that if Peter had this wealth, then not to mention an earl, even a duke, or even further advancement, would be possible.

The only difference was whether Su Nan wanted it or not.

They had to get their hands on this Black Rye Domain!

Su Nan, through the wolf pack effect, discovered that Jinx had already ordered the swarm to attack a Lizardman town, and after destroying all the Lizardmen in that town, began to use that town as its own Zerg nest, ordering many Scarab Mother Insects to lay insect eggs, lay down fungal carpets, and begin the next round of evolution.

The reason why Su Nan needed the Zerg was because the Zerg was also a race without high mental power. Therefore, Su Nan wanted to see if the large-scale breeding and iterative updates of the Scarab swarm, evolving forward, would give them a new direction of evolution with quantity, giving himself ideas to solve the problem of werewolves not having magic pressure.

If successful, that would be a major advancement in the magic potion system!

If he couldn't even solve the mere problem of magic pressure, Su Nan felt that he should stop playing the magic potion system.

Su Nan said to Song Zhong, "Now I will lift part of the seal on your body so that you can walk, but you cannot use magic. Don't play tricks. If I find any signs of you betraying me, I will kill you immediately and detonate the slave collar on your neck."

"I want you to take me to that diamond mine."

"I want to meet the wizards of the underground hiding faction."

Speaking of which, if there was a diamond mine, it seemed like he could create diamond golems.
