Synthetic Wizard - Chapter 347 - 212: Tower Spirit No. 1_2

Sunan reached out to caress the void, and a crystal ball half as tall as a person instantly appeared on the open ground in front of him.

The deep blue crystal ball was perfectly rounded, crystal clear, and shone like the finest gemstone, yet it exuded a profound and lively charm.

This was a Tower Spirit that Sunan had crafted from a legendary soul crystal and a vast amount of rare materials.

Just that legendary soul crystal alone used up a third of the soul crystal inventory he had accumulated over the years.

Adding the other materials, the total cost amounted to twenty-four million Gold Coins.

Even so, Sunan felt it was worth it.

Unlike other materials, synthesizing higher-level soul crystals from lower-level ones is actually cheaper than artificially creating higher-level soul crystals.

After all, to create a legendary soul crystal, you at least need the soul of a Level 1 Wizard or a similarly ranked creature, or thousands of Tier Four Legendary creatures’ souls.

In comparison, it’s obviously simpler to manufacture thousands of miniature soul crystals.

In the Wizard Civilization, legendary soul crystals often cannot be purchased with Gold Coins at all; they can only be obtained through barter.

If using artificially created legendary soul crystals, the cost of the Tower Spirit would definitely far exceed twenty-four million Gold Coins.

“During the construction phase, just one Tower Spirit is enough. When the Wizard Tower is built, I will make two more Tower Spirits.”

Sunan waited patiently for a while until the Elemental Pool was filled, then extended his index finger to press against the crystal ball’s surface, injecting Spiritual Power.

As he moved, the surface of the crystal ball immediately glowed with a faint golden light.

At the same time, the Elemental Pool began to stir, countless azure elements of water forming a waterspout, plunging into the golden light.

The crystal ball frantically absorbed the elemental power, and the element water in the Elemental Pool diminished rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just five minutes, the element water was about to run dry.

At this moment, a buzzing suddenly resounded.

Time seemed to stop in that instant.

The golden light suddenly contracted sharply, transforming into a pure golden crystal that immersed itself in the crystal ball, suspended at the center, like a golden eye.

[Master]

A mechanical voice devoid of emotion rang out:

[Tower Spirit No. 1 responding to your summons, awakening!]

A satisfied smile appeared on Sunan’s face.

“Tower Spirit No. 1.” He whispered, “Scan the Wizard Tower’s structure.”

A cold mechanical voice resounded in his mind:

[Command received, beginning connection with the Wizard Tower.]

[Connecting, 1%…4%…100%, connection successful.]

[Beginning scan of the Wizard Tower…scan complete.]

[Inputting blueprint…input complete]

[Data integration ongoing…integration complete, beginning to establish three-dimensional model.]

Countless slender light beams emerged out of nowhere, weaving a three-dimensional model identical to the Wizard Tower before Sunan’s eyes.

[Wizard Tower: Unnamed]

[Level: Small (Construction progress 12.47%)]

[Current remaining energy: 2.21%]

[Intelligent auxiliary life: Tower Spirit No. 1]

[Facilities: Elemental Pool (Small), Central Crystal Energy Transmission System, Living Area (Construction progress 89.34%), Storage Area (Construction progress 76.22%), Experimental Area (Construction progress 25.16%), Practice Area (Construction progress 46.91%), Meditation Area (Construction progress 88.21%), Planting Area (Construction progress 9.27%)…]

[Servants: Clay Golem ×124]

[Protection Devices: None]

[Combat Devices: None]

“Let’s call it Starlight.”

Sunan casually chose a name, then waved his hand, and the Wizard Tower model automatically dismantled into dozens of areas.

He carefully inspected them one by one.

In areas like the Living Area, Storage Area, and Experimental Area, only the main structures were built, with various Enchantment Arrays yet to be drawn, so construction progress was still a distance from 100%.

“Next, I’ll solve the space planning issue first.”

“Also, the Maze Lock Protective Energy Field should also be constructed.”

For any Wizard Tower, the energy issue is the primary concern to solve, followed by protection devices.

“Although there aren’t enough resources to build a Medium Wizard Tower, I can start with the Elemental Pool, Maze Lock Protective Energy Field, and strike devices to strengthen the Wizard Tower’s power.”

Sunan had long had the idea of strengthening the Wizard Tower by synthesizing a magic cube.

If a Medium Wizard Tower could not be built, forming an enhanced small Wizard Tower would also be good.

In the future, when the barriers between planes are restored and can connect to other planes, I will find ways to acquire resources to upgrade the Wizard Tower.

Returning to his senses, Sunan turned his attention back to the Tower Spirit.

With the legendary soul crystal as a carrier, Tower Spirit No. 1 has an extremely powerful terminal computing ability, which can assist him in experiments.

With Tower Spirit No. 1, it will be much easier in the future whether researching Talent Crystal Models or developing weakened Construction Potions.

The Tower Spirit’s powerful data analysis capabilities are even comparable to some weaker Divine Spirits.

Divine Spirits have to receive prayers from millions of followers daily and simultaneously respond to countless Priests’ Divine Arts; such computational power surpasses the most advanced artificial intellige.

“The remaining soul crystals are just enough to manufacture two Legendary Crystals, enough to refine two more Tower Spirits.”

“However, excluding these soul crystals, there won’t be much left.”

With the end of the war, the primary source of soul crystals suddenly vanished.

Sunan regretted a bit that he hadn’t made more back then.

But there was no other way, as back then, only he and the scepter bearer could manufacture soul crystals, and they were too busy with cultivation and study to keep traveling all the time, thus unable to fully utilize the opportunities brought by the war.

Now the materials to create soul crystals are only available from the death-row inmates in various imperial cities and some dangerous creatures in the underground world.

The annual output scarcely supports the consumption of the Star Alliance and Starlight Academy.

Of course, if one were callous enough to use ordinary civilians as soul crystal materials, a large batch of soul crystals could be made quickly.

However, Sunan was not the kind of mad wizard; he couldn’t do such a thing.

“Unless another battlefield can be opened.”

A gleam flashed in Sunan’s eyes as he glanced northwest.

It seems the Rainbow Sea hosts countless biological groups, which might serve as a good place for manufacturing soul crystals.

After pondering for a moment, Sunan vaguely had an idea, but it required long-term planning.

Leaving the Wizard Tower, Sunan returned to the Dragon Remains Tower, and upon entering the control center, he saw the Hidden Dragon lying beside the Elemental Pool.

On its massive, thick back lay a lazy cat.

“These two are still as compatible as ever.”

Sunan smiled slightly.

Thanks to the Hidden Dragon’s enhancement surgery, his [Biological Transformation] skill had now reached level 5.

Now it was Kei’s strength that couldn’t keep up; he reckoned the matter of bloodline fusion wouldn’t be considered for ten years.

Since there was a large amount of sub-dragon species blood available for synthesizing dragon blood enhancements, the Hidden Dragon’s strength improvement was relatively considerable.

In terms of the Wizard’s power level, the Hidden Dragon’s power is now roughly equivalent to 40% to 50% of Level 1 gasification.

It was only because Sunan unexpectedly discovered the method of synthesizing Elemental Crystal Cores with elemental dust to absorb divinity energy; otherwise, his strength improvement might have lagged behind the Hidden Dragon’s.

Currently, facing the Secret Puppet, the Hidden Dragon could easily win one against two, hold its own one against three, and only fall behind in a one against four.

The main reason for this situation is still the high energy resistance of giant dragons.

The Secret Puppets’ Tier Zero, Tier One, and Tier Two Magic are ineffective against the Hidden Dragon, and the damage of Tier Three Magic is significantly reduced.

In terms of physical strength, the Secret Puppets can’t match the Hidden Dragon, which is a giant dragon.

You could say the Hidden Dragon is extremely counter to the Secret Puppets.

In fact, Wizards also have this headache when facing giant dragons.

The magic damage is limited, most of the time having to rely on Talent Abilities, Witchcraft Artifacts, or other means to counter, naturally at a disadvantage in battles with giant dragons.

Not only Wizards, but many species in the multiverse face the same situation when confronting giant dragons.

This is also a major reason why the dragon species can be one of the top species in the multiverse.
