Synthetic Wizard - Chapter 343 - 210: New Objectives (Part 2)

This is undoubtedly an extremely significant event!

In comparison, the Empire’s unification of Starlight Continent seems insignificant.

After a long while, Kei finally digested this shocking news and came back to his senses, saying with his brows furrowed:

“Once those wizards return, will the Starlight Continent…”

Sunan understood his meaning and shook his head, saying: “According to the rules of the Wizard World, the Starlight Continent is already my exclusive plane. Unless they want to make an enemy of me, other wizards generally won’t try to touch the Starlight Continent.”

Kei breathed a sigh of relief but immediately showed a worried expression again.

“What about the [Dark Throne]?”

A force with thousands of wizards, back then, was unimaginable for Kei.

What kind of vast and terrifying power such a force must possess?

It’s simply unsettling to think about!

“No need to worry too much, if necessary, we can seek refuge with wizard forces opposing the [Dark Throne].”

Sunan comforted him and then said, “But fundamentally, it’s still about strengthening one’s own power.”

“In the coming days, I plan to build a Wizard Tower, requiring the Empire’s full cooperation.”

“No problem,” Kei agreed without hesitation.

Finally, his mood became somewhat complex.

The information he heard from Sunan today truly shook his understanding greatly.

The erstwhile multiverse was more like a symbol to him.

But after truly hearing Sunan’s narration, he realized the vastness of the multiverse.

Compared to the wide multiverse, the Starlight Continent is just a trivial speck of dust.

Originally, after the Star Empire unified the Starlight Continent, Kei had a sense of pride and arrogance of “who else but me,” but now this pride and arrogance have been shattered, and replaced by a sense of his own insignificance.

Compared to those forces existing in the multiverse for tens of thousands of years, the Starlight Continent undoubtedly still has a long way to go.

However, after sighing, Kei’s heart burned with fighting spirit again.

Originally, he felt an emptiness of losing motivation after achieving his goal, but now, a more grandiose goal appeared before his eyes.

Although he is unlikely to live until the wizards return, he wants to make the empire as strong as possible, enduring better into the future.

Seeing the changes in Kei’s demeanor, Sunan subtly nodded.

His big brother’s willpower is much more resilient than he expected; he initially worried that Kei would be apprehensive after hearing about the [Dark Throne], but now it seems he was overly concerned.

…

Starlight Calendar 1282.

This is the most peaceful year in the Starlight Continent.

Following the unification of the continent by the Star Empire and its decisive pacification of sporadic rebellious forces, the continent’s situation completely stabilized, entering a peaceful and tranquil development period.

Thunderous Moon (April).

With the emperor’s decree issued, knight academies began to be established across the empire.

Except for the few Royal Knight Academies dedicated solely for noble children, most knight academies were open to common citizens, treating the middle class, commoners, and farmers equally.

As long as one can pass the entrance tests, all tuition and miscellaneous fees are waived.

Besides, the empire also began to vigorously promote and popularize basic education, establishing numerous basic academies among the citizens, with affordable tuition accessible even to commoners and farmers.

Despite many commoners and farmers not planning to send their children to school due to life pressures, many were genuinely pleased and excited about this policy.

Simply because literacy is the primary condition to participate in wizard aptitude tests.

After years of empire’s propaganda, even the lowest-tier farmers knew that becoming a wizard was the quickest way to leapfrog social status and become one of the upper echelons.

Passing the aptitude test meant soaring to great heights.

After all, wizards are individuals whom even noble lords dare not neglect.

For the people at the bottom, wizards are a beacon of hope amid hard life.

Though slim, it’s ultimately not impossible.

Even if in the end, their children can’t pass the aptitude tests, literacy becomes a bonus when applying to knight academies.

Because of these benefits, the resistance to implementing the popularization of basic education was greatly reduced.

Though the truly widespread promotion of basic education would take a very long time, there was at least a good beginning.

Beyond knight academies and basic education, more decrees were issued one after another, showcasing the reform determination of the lofty emperor.

This shocked many nobles.

They thought that after unifying the continent, the emperor, even if he didn’t lose ambition and indulge in pleasure, shouldn’t have a forward-looking attitude anymore.

Unexpectedly, the emperor became even more progressive than before.

It was truly beyond expectations.

Only a few close grand nobles like Brad and Jordon vaguely knew that all this was related to Lord Sunan.

…

Dragon Forest, Starlight Academy.

The Central Clock Tower, where instructors live and cultivate, is also the tallest structure of the entire academy.

Standing on the open platform at the top of the Clock Tower, one can clearly overlook the scenery of the entire academy.

Looking at the students coming and going below, Fakado couldn’t help but show a pensive expression.

In the blink of an eye, he had been in the Starlight Academy for half a year.

The longer he stayed here and the deeper his understanding of Starlight Academy, the more amazed he became.

Before this, he never imagined there was such a mode of cultivating wizard apprentices in the world.

No, it wasn’t an oversight, but the harsh realities never allowed him to think in that direction.

After all, his family’s resources were insufficient for themselves, let alone having excess to cultivate others.

“Unbelievable,” Innocent exclaimed, “Where did the Star Alliance get so many rare resources?”

“Perhaps collected from the underground world, after all, the Star Alliance has unified the entire underground world,” another wizard apprentice Tulio said.

Mentioning this, the four echoed further sighs.

Upon learning the Star Alliance had unified the entire underground world, the four almost popped their eyeballs in surprise.

It is a vast, mysterious underground world with innumerable dangerous places, powerful and terrifying creatures abound, and countless city-states and tribes are entrenched.

Whenever they ventured into the underground world, they needed to be extremely cautious.

And such a terrifying place was astonishingly conquered and unified by the Star Alliance!

Knowing this fact, they realized how overwhelmingly powerful the Star Alliance had become!

Along with the thought of joining the Starlight Academy growing stronger and deeper.

When they saw the list of resources for mentors from the scepter, the four almost instantly firmed up their intention to join the Starlight Academy.

The extensive range of third-level potions, Micro-Light Level magical items, Refined Gold Golems, various rare metals, and Rare Magic Plants… Upon seeing that resource list, Fakado suddenly felt that the lauded millennial Wizard Clan, the deeply endowed Russell Clan, seemed no different from beggars compared to the Star Alliance.

If he had known about the rich resources of the Star Alliance beforehand, he would have taken the Russell Clan straight to join the Star Alliance, instead of flirting with the coalition.

After letting his thoughts wander for a while, Fakado finally retracted his gaze and looked back at the three clansmen.

“What’s your opinion?”

Innocent shrugged and laughed, “What else is there to hesitate? With such a great opportunity before us, if we don’t cherish it, we would be too foolish.”

“Absolutely,” the other two nodded earnestly.

Fakado chuckled and said, “Then it’s decided.”

He is very optimistic about the future of Starlight Academy.

This academy is sure to become a cradle for wizard apprentices in the future.

Perhaps in a distant future, the Starlight Continent will usher in the era of wizards.

In the meantime, he can witness the arrival of this era as a mentor of Starlight Academy.
