Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 399 - 238: Frost Ghost Stone, Shadow Realm

"Sir, these are the results of the exploration of secondary magic stone veins over the past six months."

In the study, Attila used the Hand of the Mage spell to place the documents on the desk.

Lize acknowledged it with a hum, finished approving the documents in her hand first, then picked up the exploration documents and began to read them carefully.

Attila stood silently by her side, waiting patiently.

The magic stone lamp hanging on the wall cast a warm yellow glow, giving her body a kind of ethereal, semi-transparent texture.

Attila considered herself quite fortunate.

Although she had not successfully advanced to Wizard, she had survived the spectral transformation with a very low success rate and could continue to exist in this world in her ghost form.

Moreover, her mentor had promised to reshape her body in the future.

By that time, she could still make another attempt at becoming a Wizard, and advancement was not out of hope.

Attila knew very well that under normal circumstances, the Star Alliance would not expend such great effort for a Wizard Apprentice.

She was treated this way all thanks to her mentor and Master Xingyun.

For this, she was very grateful to the two of them and worked even more diligently to repay their kindness.

It wasn’t long before Lize finished reading the documents and nodded slightly.

"Not bad, the cultivation progress is very smooth, it seems that in a decade or so, we should be able to mine."

Lize looked up at Attila and instructed, "Start preparations now. We need to have the mining equipment and clay golems ready in advance so that once the vein forms, we can immediately begin mining."

The preliminary phase of secondary magic energy technology has been completed, with unexpectedly excellent results.

Whether in the civilian sector or the military field, secondary magic energy technology, represented by the Magic Energy Machine, has been received with extraordinary enthusiasm and received great feedback.

The entire Starlight Continent now resembles a volcano on the verge of eruption; as long as enough secondary magic stones are put into it, it can immediately explode, bringing about an explosive development in secondary magic energy technology.

In less than a century, secondary magic energy technology is bound to sweep across the Starlight Continent, completely transforming productivity.

After that, the development of the Starlight Continent will undoubtedly reach a new level.

And the Star Alliance will have broader growth opportunities.

Attila noted down Lize’s instructions one by one, ready to make arrangements as soon as she left the study.

Simultaneously mining over thirty large veins requires a sizeable amount of mining equipment and clay golems, which must be prepared in advance.

Given the significance of secondary magic energy technology development, no detail can be overlooked.

"There’s one more thing." Lize suddenly changed the subject, "The Star Alliance is preparing to form a new puppet legion, which requires a massive amount of materials."

A new puppet legion?

Attila was puzzled.

The Star Alliance currently has two puppet legions.

One is the Star Alliance’s regular golem legion, including three large golem legions and four medium-sized golem legions.

And this number is increasing year by year, with the expectation of forming a fourth large golem legion within ten years.

The other is the internal golem legion of the Starlight Wizard Tower.

Its scale is equivalent to a small golem legion, but its combat power is stronger than a large golem legion.

This golem legion usually only garrisons inside the Wizard Tower and rarely moves out.

To be honest, the Star Alliance now is unlikely to encounter large-scale warfare, and having two puppet legions is already more than sufficient. Attila couldn’t quite understand why another puppet legion needed to be formed.

And when she got a look at the composition list of the puppet legion, she was even more shocked.

Three hundred master-touch puppets and fifty secret puppets!

This number is too exaggerated!

Attila knew that both master-touch puppets and secret puppets have the combat power to single out a first-level gaseous Wizard!

Why on earth are so many Wizard-level puppets being manufactured all at once?

The key is that the establishment cost of this puppet legion is undoubtedly astronomical.

Seeing Attila’s confusion, Lize had no intention of explaining further.

When Sunan proposed forming this puppet legion, she immediately understood his purpose.

This is in preparation to deal with the Dark Throne!

Only in dealing with the Dark Throne would so many Wizard-level puppets be necessary.

"Sir, collecting such a huge amount of materials is going to be really difficult in a short period of time," Attila said, frowning.

Needless to say, just fifty secret puppets would cost over 20 million Gold Coins in materials.

The cost of master-touch puppets is relatively lower, but with three hundred of them, the cost would also exceed 100 million Gold Coins.

If that was all, it wouldn’t be an issue. Given the Star Alliance’s current income, even diverting just a quarter of the income each year would raise the necessary funds to form the puppet legion in just over twenty years.

The key is that the materials needed for crafting master-touch puppets and secret puppets include many rare materials with very low production and high demand.

For instance, mithril; collecting enough mithril for crafting fifty secret puppets would take at least forty to fifty years.

Lize understood this as well and waved her hand, saying, "It’s fine, this is a long-term project; completing it within three hundred years will suffice."

Hearing this, Attila breathed a sigh of relief.

Then there’s no problem, the timeline suddenly became much more lenient.

"Is there anything else?" Lize asked.

Attila came back to her senses, nodded quickly, and said, "In the high-tier sub-dragon species group in Dragon Forest Zone 2, we recently discovered a Demon Tyrant Dragon showing signs of evolution. How should we handle it?"

Lize raised her eyebrows, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She was aware of the Star Alliance’s plan to increase the bloodline concentration of sub-dragon species.

To be honest, she wasn’t optimistic about this plan at first.
