Chapter 244 Everything Is Ready
The sun shines on the blue sea, reflecting a sparkling light.
Three huge metal ships break through the waves, sailing against the wind on the sea, chasing a dragon whale.
In the Rainbow Sea, the dragon whale is one of the powerful beings at the top of the food chain, but in front of the three metal ships, it can only flee in panic.
Its huge body is full of wounds from artillery fire, and blood flows out from it, leaving a series of bright red tracks in the sea water as it swims.
Swish!
A thick ray of light shoots like a sharp arrow, instantly passing through hundreds of meters and piercing the head of the dragon whale.
The body of this powerful sea monster trembles violently, raising surging waves, and then floats on the sea motionless.
The sound of the conch rings, and a group of deep-sea naga emerges from underwater, holding blades and starting to dissect the dragon whale.
High in the sky, Tanner watched this scene with interest.
After knowing that he had no hope of leaving the Starlight Continent in a short time, he was depressed for a few days and accepted the reality.
After that, the curiosity of the traveling wizard broke out, and he began to explore all over the continent. After visiting the surface world, he went to the underground world, and only recently came to the Rainbow Sea.
And what he saw and heard during this period also gave Tanner a deeper understanding of the Star Alliance.
After learning about the situation of the Starlight Continent in the past thousand years, he was impressed and amazed from the bottom of his heart that Sunan could create the Star Alliance as a wizard force.
This is simply a miracle!
In the plane with scarce resources and elemental deserts, even the promotion of wizards is extremely difficult. Sunan can not only be promoted to a second-level wizard, but also create a qualified wizard force. It is incredible!
"I didn't expect that such a genius could be cultivated in an ordinary single plane!"
Tanner secretly sighed that the universe is so big that there are indeed all kinds of wonders.
"The Star Alliance seems to be easy to talk to. Let's just practice here for a while and go out to explore after the plane is restored."
You must have enough strength to explore the plane, otherwise, if you mistakenly enter a dangerous plane, it is easy to lose your life.
Just take this opportunity to concentrate on improving your strength, and then explore as much as you want.
"It just so happens that the Star Alliance has enough construction potions and is willing to trade with me."
Construction potions are not Tanner's strong point. In the past, he traded construction potions with various wizard forces.
It's just that construction potions have always been in short supply, and those wizard forces are also stingy when trading. They are not as domineering as the Star Alliance. As long as he can provide valuable information, he can exchange it without limit.
Thinking of this, being trapped in the Starlight Continent doesn't seem to be something difficult to accept.
Wizard Tower, Workshop.
The slender silver needle floated in the air, slowly carving the last stroke on the surface of the gem at a delicate angle.
As the strokes fell, the complex patterns on the surface of the gem closed instantly. After a faint light flashed, the whole gem suddenly had an indescribable charm.
Looking at the successfully refined engraved gem, Sunan smiled.
After more than a year of intermittent work, the improvement of the engraved gem was finally completed.
Due to the power limitation of the puppet itself, the number of engraved gems synthesized has increased, but the increase is not large, only increasing to 63.
However, the power after detonation is more than enough to kill a first-level wizard.
Even a second-level wizard will suffer heavy damage if he is not careful.
"Let's call it a self-destructing gem."
Sunan immediately made a decision that all puppets of the witch hunting corps and the wizard-level puppets of the Starlight Wizard Tower should be installed with self-destructing gems.
Once you encounter a strong enemy that you can't beat, you will directly detonate the self-destructing gem in your body and die together with the enemy. At the very least, you will have to bite hard, and you must not become a war loss in vain.
"The number of puppets in the witch hunting corps is approaching 200. In another 70 or 80 years, we should be able to achieve our goal."
Thanks to the development of sub-magic energy technology, the productivity level of the Starlight Continent has made a great leap forward, and the income of the Star Alliance has also skyrocketed.
It's a pity that resources such as rare metals will not increase with the growth of productivity. If it weren't for the material restrictions, the witch hunting corps would have completed its initial formation goal long ago.
"Sub-magic energy technology has been popularized. Next, we should try to promote magic energy technology."
Su Nan glanced at the secondary magic stones piled up in the corner of the workshop.
Although the cascade mining is adopted, the current secondary magic stone production of the Star Alliance is still in excess.
After discussing with Li Ze, Su Nan decided to take out a part of it to synthesize magic stones, which will be used to promote magic energy technology in Jinyan Province to warm up in advance.
When the plane blockade is lifted in the future and new magic stone veins are found, the Starlight Continent will be able to increase the promotion of magic energy technology as soon as possible and enter the magic energy era from the sub-magic energy era at the fastest speed.
"The plane blockade will not be completed until around 2000 in the Starlight Calendar, but the Dark Throne will arrive more than ten years earlier."
Su Nan recalled that the first batch of wizards from the Dark Throne invaded the Starlight Continent in 1983 in the Starlight Calendar.
As for which month it was, he was not sure.
But Su Nan did not care.
As long as the Dark Throne entered the Starlight Continent and used magic, the Eye of the Stars would be able to capture the energy particle fluctuations and lock its position in the first place.
So it was enough to know the approximate time of their invasion.
Shaking his head, Su Nan collected his thoughts and continued to make the self-destructing gem.
There are not many wizard-level puppets in the Star Alliance at present, with a total of only about 300, so the number of self-destructing gems to be manufactured is not large.
After spending more than half a month to manufacture self-destructing gems and install them on all wizard-level puppets, Sunan devoted himself to condensing his spirit.
In order to improve the efficiency of wizards in collecting elemental crystal dust, Sunan allowed wizards who accepted collection tasks to temporarily hire golem legions at a lower cost to kill elemental spirits.
Thanks to this, the number of elemental crystal dust collected by wizards in recent years has skyrocketed.
However, the doubts about why Sunan attaches so much importance to elemental crystal dust are also rising among wizards.
Although Li Ze was also a little confused, she did not ask much, but helped Sunan suppress this question.
Sunan ignored the outside world. With sufficient divine energy supply, his spiritual condensation increased much faster than expected.
The time of cultivation always passes quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it entered the year 1930 of the Starlight Calendar.
With the Star Alliance's unremitting resource allocation, the witch hunting corps was finally formed.
"Three hundred touch puppets and fifty secret puppets, this number of wizard-level puppets should be enough to deal with the advance team of the Dark Throne."
In the study, Sunan said with a smile after reading the document.
Lizhe glanced at him and said, "How do you sound like you know how many people are in the advance team of the Dark Throne?"
"I guessed that the Dark Throne would enter the Starlight Continent in advance when the plane barrier has not been completely repaired. The number of people and the level of strength will be greatly restricted."
Sunan said casually.
In fact, he not only knew how many people were in the advance team of the Dark Throne, but also knew the specific strength of the team.
It's just that he couldn't be sure whether what happened in the future would be the same as what he remembered.
After all, with the addition of him, a butterfly flapping its wings, the current situation of the Starlight Continent is already completely different from what he remembered, and it is very likely to change in the future.
Lizhe nodded without asking more questions.
In fact, she also agreed with Sunan's words.
With the current strength of the Star Alliance, unless the Dark Throne sends out dozens of second-level wizards or third-level wizards at once, it will not pose a threat to the Star Alliance at all.
However, neither of them is very realistic.
The unrepaired plane barrier cannot allow third-level wizards to pass through, nor can it allow dozens of second-level wizards to pass through at the same time.
Moreover, if you think deeply, the Dark Throne is not clear about the current situation of the Starlight Continent. Most of them think that there are no wizards here, so they will not send a very powerful wizard lineup.
When the Dark Throne realizes the true strength of the Star Alliance later, it may be too late.
"There are still fifty or sixty years, and the advance team of the Dark Throne should arrive. The Star Alliance should prepare early. I will go into seclusion next. The specific arrangements will be left to you. Once you find someone from the Dark Throne, tell me immediately."
"I know." Liz nodded.
She was very calm about the fact that Sunan was going to sprint in seclusion again.
Having seen Sunan's terrifying speed of strength improvement, she is no longer surprised, or numb.
If Sunan's strength was improving slowly, she would be surprised.
Back to the top floor of the wizard tower, Sunan saw Yinlong lying beside the element pool, looking drowsy.
Amy was lying on its back, licking her paws boredly.
It was not until it saw Sunan that it became energetic, leaped over a distance of more than ten meters in an instant, and appeared on Sunan's shoulder out of thin air.
"Meow, Sunan, why are you here just now? Yinlong and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
The crisp shouting woke up Yinlong. It opened its eyes and saw Sunan, and also came over to rub its head against its master, roaring softly.
Sunan smiled and patted Yinlong's head.
Dragons originally have the characteristic of becoming stronger as they grow older. Coupled with Sunan's long-term supply of synthetic dragon blood, Yinlong's strength has improved far beyond ordinary dragons. Now its strength is no less than that of a first-level crystal wizard.
In the entire Star Alliance, except for Sunan, Yinlong is the strongest.
"Why did you suddenly think of looking for me? What's the matter?" Su Nan asked Amy.
The little guy knew he was busy and rarely disturbed him.
Most of the time he stayed with Yinlong, and occasionally went to see Liz.
As a person who had experienced the heyday of wizards a thousand years ago, Liz and Amy had a lot in common.
For Amy, Liz's appearance gave her a friend to chat with, and the little guy was very happy about it.
And Liz was also very interested in this magical pet that had almost no combat power but could travel through space. She was even more curious about Amy's mysterious master, and often took the opportunity of chatting to inquire about information.
Therefore, the ghost and the cat got along quite well.
"Is the plane barrier of the Starlight Continent about to be restored, meow?" Amy asked expectantly.
"Who told you that?"
"Sheman told me, meow!"
"That's true."
Su Nan did not hide it. He knew very well that Amy was actually eager to see her master.
"In about seventy years, the plane barrier will be completely repaired, and then the Starlight Continent will be restored to its appearance a thousand years ago."
Amy immediately became excited: "Then can I see my master, meow?"
"Of course." Sunan smiled and nodded, "Even if your master doesn't come back to the Starlight Continent, I will help you find your master."
Amy helped him a lot, and he will still try his best to help Amy realize this wish.
"The master will definitely come back to find Amy's meow!" Amy said without hesitation.
The little guy still firmly believes that his master did not abandon him on purpose, and there must be a reason behind it.
Su Nan smiled and echoed the conversation.
There were many magical items left where Amy was sleeping, and it was obvious that she did not have time to take them away in a hurry, so the little guy's guess is still possible.
It's just that Amy's master is a descendant of the true spirit, and his strength is not weak. How urgent must it be for her master to leave in a hurry without even taking the magic pet?
Or did Amy's master deliberately leave it to avoid it from being involved in danger?
Su Nan didn't hesitate much, anyway, he would know when he found Amy's master.
After getting confirmation from Su Nan, Amy was in an extremely high mood, and took Yinlong to play somewhere crazy.
Su Nan smiled and didn't care.
As a giant dragon, Hidden Dragon does not need to practice. Apart from sleeping and occasionally fusing blood, the rest of the time is spent in idleness. It is also a good thing to have Amy to play with, so that he does not always go to bully the sub-dragon species in Area 1 and Area 2.
"Tower Spirit No. 1, scan the status of the wizard tower."
[Received the command, started scanning. Scanning completed. 】
A three-dimensional model soon appeared in front of him.
After the Starlight Wizard Tower was completed, due to the limitation of materials and funds, Sunan did not carry out drastic upgrades and renovations, but some improvements in details were still being carried out one after another.
For example, the synthesis upgrade of the floating ring greatly enhanced the mobility of the wizard tower.
There are also improvements to the Spell Turret Type II and Dissociation Turret Type II, mainly to reduce energy consumption.
With Tower Spirit No. 2 as an experimental assistant and a lot of suggestions from Liz, the improvement experiment has achieved considerable results.
The number of Spell Turret Type II in the Starlight Wizard Tower was originally a bit excessive, with a full 300, which was a considerable burden on energy.
However, after the improvement, the energy consumption of 300 Spell Turret II salvos was less than 10%, which greatly reduced the burden.
In addition, the energy consumption of Dissociation Cannon II was reduced to less than 8%, which was about one-third less than before, a significant improvement.
"After the plane blockade is lifted, we need to collect the manufacturing process of plasma cannons and pulse cannons to improve the long-range strike firepower."
Sunan waved his hand to disperse the three-dimensional model, sat cross-legged next to the element pool, took out the element crystal core and began to absorb it.
His spiritual concentration has exceeded 70%. According to the current progress, he can break through to the second-level crystallization in another 70 to 80 years at most.
By then, even if the Dark Throne really finds a way to send a third-level wizard over, he will not be afraid at all.
Now everything is ready, and the next step is to wait for the enemy to arrive. (End of this chapter)
