Synthesis Wizard

Traveler!

Su Nan was slightly taken aback, not expecting to hear the Traveler’s name here.

“When did you meet that Wizard?” Su Nan asked nonchalantly.

Evans hadn’t considered that the person in front of him belonged to the same Wizard organization as the Traveler. After thinking for a while, he said, “About three years ago.”

Su Nan’s heart stirred.

This time period coincided with the Traveler’s cessation of attending gatherings.

Could it be true, as the Undead had said, that the Traveler had died somewhere in the underworld?

“What happened after that?” Su Nan asked.

Evans shook his head, “I only spent two days with the Traveler before leaving the underworld. As for the Traveler, before leaving, I heard him say that he planned to continue venturing deeper into the underworld. I don’t know anything after that.”

If he knew the Traveler’s whereabouts, he would have liked to meet this Wizard Apprentice who loved exploring and adventuring. He might be able to get a lot of valuable information from him.

After chatting for a while and asking about the three Wizards, the two ended their conversation.

“The royal family will announce their surrender in a few days.”

Before leaving, Evans left this sentence behind.

Outside the tavern, in a nearby building, Kei and the White Tower Marquis were waiting for news.

Seeing Evans stroll out of the tavern, the two looked at each other with uncertainty.

When Su Nan returned, Kei immediately asked, “How did it go?”

Su Nan briefly recounted the events, but didn’t mention the Starlight Tower. He only said that Evans had traded with him using something very precious.

Upon hearing this, Kei and the White Tower Marquis looked at each other in astonishment.

They never imagined that Evans would come alone, only to surrender.

This was completely beyond their expectations!

But after recovering, both felt a sense of joy.

While they were confident in winning the war, it would be undoubtedly better to take over the Red Leaf Province without bloodshed.

As for leaving the Kessler family with some bloodline, it didn’t matter much.

At best, it was just a collateral descendant, insignificant.

“Now we just have to wait for the news from the Red Leaf Province.”

Su Nan looked towards the direction of Starlight City, feeling a slight sense of relief.

After this war, he could focus his attention back on the underworld.

He had many things waiting for him to do.

Collecting materials for refining puppet creatures, searching for descendants of ancient exotic beasts, and dealing with the crisis in Kasham.

He wouldn’t be idle upon returning either.

Starlight Calendar 1254, Month of Slumber (December).

The Great Duke of Starlight committed suicide by poisoning. From the Great Duke downwards, all members of the royal family declared their surrender.

The army of Shining Light then entered Starlight City and took over the military and political power.

Thus, this war that had attracted the attention of countless people finally came to an end.

Shining Light successfully overthrew the royal family of the Duke and conquered the entire territory of the Starlight Duchy.

A new Great Duke of Starlight was born.

Golden Sky Empire, Holy Flame City.

Deep inside the imperial palace, in the study.

The master of the Empire, the Golden Sky Emperor, was sitting behind the desk, diligently reading the secret report in his hand.

The Scepter sat opposite him, sipping fragrant tea, his expression slightly dazed, as if thinking about something, with a distracted mind.

After a long time, the Golden Sky Emperor put down the secret report, a sneer flashing across his majestic face.

“Evans Kessler was quite decisive, didn’t do anything, and directly surrendered to the rebels. For this, he didn’t hesitate to sacrifice almost all the royal family members. He did a pretty good job as the protector of the royal family.” ṛÅ𐌽օВËŝ

His voice was filled with a strong sense of sarcasm.

The Scepter said leisurely, “I think he did the right thing.”

“If Evans had really gone mad and fought Su Nan to the death, he wouldn’t have any other outcome but death. The Starlight royal family would have been completely wiped out, leaving no one behind.”

“Now, he at least preserved some bloodline for the Kessler family. It’s the best outcome.”

The Golden Sky Emperor frowned, his expression solemn as he asked, “Is Su Nan really that powerful?”

“Very powerful!”

The Scepter replied without hesitation, as if to emphasize the credibility of his words, he added a sentence.

“At least I’m not his match.”

The Golden Sky Emperor fell silent.

From the time he had memory, he had known the Wizard in front of him, and knew how mysterious and powerful he was.

However, this Wizard, who was incredibly powerful in his eyes, admitted that he was no match for Su Nan. This immediately increased his fear of Su Nan by several levels.

After a long silence, the Golden Sky Emperor suddenly said, “Is there any way to deal with Su Nan?”

The Scepter remained calm, sipping his tea, not surprised at all by the Golden Sky Emperor’s question.

After putting down his teacup, he answered slowly,

“I advise you not to do anything foolish.”

The Golden Sky Emperor frowned, “If you are worried about not being able to deal with Su Nan alone, then invite more helpers, like the other Wizards from the Mysterious Wooden Hut.”

“Su Nan is also a member of the Mysterious Wooden Hut.”

“So what? As long as the benefits are enough, those people will definitely not refuse to act. Aren’t all Wizards pragmatic, driven by profit?”

“That’s true.”

The Scepter didn’t mind the sarcasm hidden in the Golden Sky Emperor’s words. Instead, he nodded in agreement, seeming to understand.

But then, he spread his hands.

“But the problem is, no matter how much benefit there is, nothing is more precious than life.”

“To be honest, I still can’t see Su Nan’s true strength.”

“After all, the resources he possesses are astounding. Who knows what level his strength has reached after all these years of accumulation and cultivation, or how many trump cards he holds.”

“To put it another way, the power that Su Nan has publicly displayed so far is already enough to discourage anyone from thinking about confronting him.”

“I advise you to give up your unrealistic thoughts. The other members of the Mysterious Wooden Hut are not fools. No matter how much benefit you offer, they won’t agree to help you deal with Su Nan.”

“On the contrary, I think they are more likely to be tempted by the benefits offered by Su Nan and turn against you instead.”

As the Scepter spoke, the Golden Sky Emperor’s brows furrowed deeper.

“Can we just watch as the Starlight Duchy rises?”

Anyone who knew about Kei’s rise to power couldn’t help but exclaim a miracle.

In just six years, Kei had transformed from a banished noble son, to a border city lord, and then rapidly expanded his power, going through the stages of Baron of Shining Light, Marquis of Shining Light, and now, Duke of a whole nation!

The speed of his development and the expansion of his territory were so rapid that they could only be described as a miracle!

And all of this was due to the support of Su Nan behind the scenes!

Given time, if the new Starlight Duchy was allowed to continue developing, maybe one day it would surpass the Golden Sky Empire and become the new hegemon of the southeast region of the continent.

By then, the Golden Sky Empire would be in danger.

As the ruler of the Golden Sky Empire, he absolutely could not allow this to happen!

In recent years, the Golden Sky Empire had been imposing its will on the southeast region, engaging in numerous conflicts with neighboring countries, including the Starlight Duchy.

In fact, if it hadn’t been for the Empire’s recent conquest of a country, which required time to recuperate and regain its strength, it would have already launched an invasion during the internal strife of the Starlight Duchy.

No one expected things to turn out this way.

If he had known, he would have definitely intervened in the internal chaos of the Starlight Duchy without hesitation.

“Be open-minded.”

The Scepter calmly advised him.

“The Starlight Duchy just finished a huge war. It won’t be able to recover its strength for another ten years.”

“Moreover, even with Su Nan’s support, it will take at least a hundred or even hundreds of years for the Starlight Duchy to develop to the point of replacing the Empire.”

“By then, you’ll already be nothing more than bones. Why worry so much?”

The Golden Sky Emperor’s face darkened.

What kind of words were those?

As the ruler of a nation, he shouldn’t only care about the present and ignore the long-term interests of the Empire. What right did he have to sit on this throne?

“You are also a member of the Empire, and you are even a member of the royal family. Are you unwilling to contribute to the Empire?”

The Scepter didn’t buy into this at all, “The responsibility I should bear as a member of the royal family, I fulfilled that fifty years ago. Since then, the Empire and I have only been partners. You provide me with resources, and I solve problems for you. It’s as simple as that. Don’t put any responsibility on me.”

Seeing that the Golden Sky Emperor was about to speak, the Scepter waved his hand to interrupt him.

“Alright, I’ve said what I need to say. What you do is your business. If you cause any trouble, don’t expect me to clean up after you.”

The moment his last word fell, the Scepter had disappeared.

Leaving the Golden Sky Emperor sitting alone behind the desk, his expression constantly changing.

Shining Light City, Base.

In front of the mission bulletin board, a group of apprentices were choosing missions. Suddenly, a voice came from afar.

“We won! Our Shining Light army has entered Starlight City!”

A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy ran over panting, waving the war report in his hand excitedly.

Hearing this, the crowd around him immediately surrounded him with a whoop.

“Really? Wasn’t the army heavily concentrated on the border of the Red Leaf Province a few days ago?”

“Your information is outdated. I heard that the Starlight royal family surrendered voluntarily.”

“That explains why it ended so quickly.”

“Haha, now the Marquis is the new Great Duke of Starlight!”

“Seniors are here!”

With a whoosh, the crowd parted, and Xie Man, Cole, and Atyr walked in.

“We heard your shouts from far away. Did the front lines send new war reports?” Atyr asked with a smile.

An apprentice immediately flattered them by handing over the war report.

Xie Man, Cole, and Atyr took it, their faces all showing joy.

“As expected, with Teacher here, Shining Light will definitely win!”

Cole had a look of “I told you so” on his face, but then he felt a little melancholy.

He had been thinking about joining the war after becoming a Second-Rank Sorcerer Apprentice. Unexpectedly, the war ended so quickly.

Having a Teacher who was too strong sometimes was also a bit frustrating.

“The war is over, Teacher should be back soon.”

Atyr said with a smile. As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her shoulder sink, and Amy appeared on her shoulder.

“Meow, Su Nan is coming back? Great!”

Amy said happily.

Su Nan and Infiltrator Dragon had both gone to the front lines, leaving only her in the underworld. Although exploring everywhere in the underworld was quite fun, after a while, she couldn’t help but miss Su Nan and Infiltrator Dragon.

“I found a lot of treasures lately meow. I’ll give them to Su Nan when he comes back.”

“Teacher will definitely love the gifts from Amy.” Atyr said with a smile, stroking Amy’s head.

The little cat squinted happily.

“Amy, has there been any unusual activity from the Man-Faced Lion in Ghost Lake City lately?” Cole suddenly asked.

Su Nan had set down rules that no apprentice could enter Ghost Lake City without his permission.

Among all the apprentices present, only Xie Man, Cole, and Atyr had been allowed by Su Nan to enter Ghost Lake City to deal with some miscellaneous tasks.

Therefore, the three of them had met Carolena.

Thinking back to the first time they entered the underworld, Xie Man still felt a sense of wonder.

It was the first time he had seen such a strange and magnificent world.

Before that, he had never imagined that such a vast world existed beneath the surface of the earth.

“No meow.” Amy tilted her head, recalling, “Carolena has been quite obedient lately. She even occasionally helped me drive away some monsters guarding the treasures.”

Xie Man came back to his senses and said with a smile, “Carolena is bound by Teacher’s soul contract, so don’t worry about her doing anything irrational.”

“You can’t be sure.” Cole snorted, “Man-Faced Lions are evil and cunning creatures. Teacher isn’t in Ghost Lake City. She might do some sneaky things.”

Atyr smiled and stroked Amy’s head, “Don’t worry. With Amy here, nothing will happen.”

Amy immediately puffed up her chest and patted her chest with her paws, proudly saying, “That’s right meow. With me here, you can all rest assured. I’ll go back and keep an eye on Carolena!”

“Amy is amazing!” Atyr praised.

Xie Man and Cole looked at each other, twitching their mouths in unison.

It felt like Amy had been completely controlled by Atyr.

“Alright, everyone disperse. Go about your own business.”

Atyr turned to the apprentices and said.

“Teacher has been gone for such a long time. When he comes back, he might test our learning progress. Everyone should work hard recently and don’t make any mistakes, or you’ll be scolded by Teacher.”

“Yes, Senior.”

Everyone followed her instructions and dispersed.

“You still have a way with people. You’re becoming more and more respected as a senior.” Xie Man said with a smile.

Atyr rolled her eyes at him and whispered, “That’s because you and Cole are obsessed with studying and cultivating. I don’t have your talent or your dedication. I have more time to interact with the juniors, so they listen to me more.”

“Alright, you two are going to take missions, right? Go ahead then.”

Seeing that Atyr didn’t want to talk about this, Xie Man and Cole wisely remained silent and walked towards the bulletin board.

Not far away, Miss Gilly leaned back on her lounge chair, observing the scene, a knowing smile appearing on her small face.

“Humans are so interesting.”
