Synthetic Wizard - Chapter 257 - 168: Talent Crystal Model

Chapter 257: Chapter 168: Talent Crystal Model
A moment later.
Sunan completed the Sealing Array.
The multi-winged creature, with most of its power sealed, completely wilted and was carried limply on the shoulder of a Refined Gold Golem, no longer resisting fate.
After storing the Secret Puppet girl and another Refined Gold Golem into the magical cube, Sunan then walked towards the group at the forest cabin, his gaze falling on the Hunter.
“The transaction is complete. Now it’s your turn to fulfill your promise.”
As soon as they heard this, Rose and the other Travelers perked up, turning to look at the Hunter in unison.
“No problem.”
The Hunter smiled and produced the Dawn Potion and the Starry Tower key, distributing them to the group.
With the Starry Tower key in hand, joy flashed in the eyes of Rose and the Travelers.
They had taken such a great risk, barely escaping death, just for this Starry Tower key.
With this, they now had hope of a promotion to Wizard.
Only the Night Owl wore a somewhat complex expression.
The forest cabin only had nine people in total. This action cost three lives, and the trading scale they had painstakingly built up was suddenly back to where it was ten years ago.
Now, they would have to find new members again.
Having gotten what he wanted, Sunan lingered no longer, decisively bidding farewell and leaving.
He still had much to do next.
As they watched Sunan’s figure disappear at the cave exit, the remaining five exchanged glances, each feeling complex emotions.
“I didn’t expect Sunan to be hiding so deeply.”
“Rather than hiding, it’s more like we never truly saw through him.”
“Exactly, I feel like Sunan probably didn’t use his full strength when he killed Saulo, he might have other cards up his sleeve.”
“Ugh, stop thinking about it. The more I think, the more I feel like a waste.”
The Traveler quickly changed the topic, glancing at the talisman stone in his hand, asking the Hunter:
“Hunter, be honest with me, how many Starry Tower keys do you have?”
The Hunter shook his head, “Besides the ones I gave you, there are only four left. Three were originally reserved for Remains, Black Forest, and Red Heart; Evans only gave me this many.”
“Where’s Evans?” the Sceptre asked.
“No idea.” The Hunter spread his hands, “That guy hid somewhere after I distracted the attention of the Eternal Life Association, but I guess he still has quite a few Starry Tower keys on him.”
The Traveler sighed, “It used to be hard to get even a hint about the Starry Tower, but now keys are popping up everywhere. The royal family hid it quite thoroughly.”
The Sceptre frowned, “I hope Evans hides well. I don’t want to find a bunch of Wizard Apprentices when we reach the Starry Tower in six years.”
Although current intel suggests that the Starry Tower’s inheritance isn’t competitive, the resources for each Wizard’s inheritance are limited. The more people enter, the fewer resources are available for each individual.
If possible, they hoped not too many Wizard Apprentices would enter the Starry Tower.
If they could find Evans, they might just lock him up for six years until they got the Starry Tower inheritance.
“There’s still six years.” The Night Owl said solemnly, “Everyone should prepare more.”
…
Returning to Giant Eye City, Sunan directly passed through a space portal to return to the Dragon Forest.
With a flash of light, he appeared in the thirteenth floor’s modification area within the Dragon Remains Tower.
Each modification area in the Dragon Remains Tower has specialized detention rooms to imprison Sub-dragon Species and the Dragon Race.
Sunan found one with the highest degree of security and tossed the multi-winged creature inside, instructing Steward No. 1 to watch over it, before returning to the control center at the top floor.
After the battle, it was naturally time to enjoy the delightful task of tallying the spoils.
This time, Sunan acquired a total of seven Space Rings; besides those from the four members of the Eternal Life Association, he also got the Space Rings of Black Forest, Remains, and Red Heart.
The first two were taken from Saulo.
The latter was silently taken while everyone was fleeing in panic from the multi-winged creature’s pursuit.
He avenged Red Heart by defeating the multi-winged creature and taking the Space Ring as compensation, which was quite reasonable.
Indeed, quite reasonable.
Sunan first opened Red Heart’s Space Ring.
Gold and Silver Coins, gemstones, Wizard’s Scriptures, potions, materials… all were common items found in a Wizard Apprentice’s Space Ring.
Sunan, having extensive experience in this regard, methodically completed the inventory and categorization.
He was slightly disappointed that there was nothing particularly eye-catching inside.
The most precious item might be a vial of High-tier Sub-dragon Species blood.
Unfortunately, that was the least of Sunan’s current needs.
The second Space Ring he opened was Black Forest’s.
Compared to the previous one, this Space Ring contained much more material.
There were quite a few rare Magic Plants.
But still nothing particularly surprising.
It wasn’t until he opened Remains’s Space Ring that Sunan’s eyes slightly lit up.
Soul Crystals!
Over a hundred Soul Crystals!
Though they were all miniature Soul Crystals, they were still very valuable.
“This means I have the materials to synthesize a medium-sized Soul Crystal now!”
Synthesizing a medium-sized Soul Crystal requires over a hundred and twenty small Soul Crystals.
Previously, Sunan had been accumulating miniature Soul Crystals for a long time to synthesize the medium-sized Soul Crystal needed for a Secret Puppet.
But now, he had the materials for a second medium-sized Soul Crystal, just needed to gather enough Mithril to craft the second Secret Puppet.
The powerful combat capabilities of the Secret Puppet had been vividly demonstrated in today’s battle.
Undoubtedly, the Secret Puppet would be the focus of Sunan’s future study and crafting, without question.
Besides the Soul Crystals, what delighted Sunan even more was finding Wizard’s Scriptures related to the creation of Soul Crystals within the Space Ring.
