Synthesis Wizard

Sighing, Su Nan shook his head, not thinking much of it.

No matter what, he had the Synthesizing Magic Cube and the Player Panel, two powerful cheats, and wouldn’t end up like Ang Maclaine.

Putting down the diary, Su Nan picked up another one.

To his surprise, this diary contained Ang Maclaine’s Blackrock Beast experiment records.

It detailed the process of creating the Blackrock Beast.

“With this experimental record, as long as I brush up on the Puppetry Refining skill from these books on the bookshelf, I can try refining the Blackrock Beast!”

A delighted smile appeared on Su Nan’s face.

The Blackrock Beast was a knight-level Puppet Creature, loyal, reliable, fearless, and undeniably a powerful force.

With a batch of Blackrock Beasts in hand, his future material searches would be much safer.

The dull-gray ring looked like a cheap piece of jewelry from a street vendor, nothing special.

But in Su Nan’s perception, the ring was like a miniature black hole, constantly devouring the stray energy particles in the surrounding air.

“Magic Item!”

Su Nan’s eyes lit up.

Unexpectedly, Ang Maclaine had left behind a magic item.

Su Nan turned back and saw that everyone else was waiting outside, so he discreetly opened the Synthesizing Magic Cube and placed the ring on it.

A line of text quickly appeared before him.

[Blood Vine Ring (Alchemy/Sub-Magic Item), after activation, it can summon Blood Vines to bind a designated target and continuously absorb the target’s vitality in small amounts, usable times 3/3, can be restored by injecting spiritual power or automatically absorbing stray energy particles.]

“Not bad, a very practical effect.”

Su Nan nodded secretly.

Magic items have different levels of strength.

The lowest level is Alchemy grade, also known as Sub-Magic Items.

These magic items typically have only one single enchanted property.

For example, dimensional bags, spatial rings.

Or various enchanted weapons with sharpness, bleeding, black steel, etc.

Don’t underestimate these lowest-level magic items, their power is quite impressive.

Taking the Blood Vine Ring as an example, Su Nan estimated that even a peak knight would likely be unable to break free from the Blood Vine’s restraint. Ȓ

For him, a Wizard Apprentice, a Sub-Magic Item is undoubtedly very valuable.

Of course, to use the Blood Vine Ring, he’ll need to become a Second-Rank Wizard Apprentice.

Only by having the ability to manipulate energy particles can he activate the magic item.

Above Alchemy grade is the Gleaming grade, also known as Low-Magic Items.

This level of magic item usually has multiple magical properties, its value far surpasses Alchemy grade magic items.

Even a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice would be overjoyed to get one.

Above Gleaming grade is Magic grade.

This level is the true magic item, also known as a Wizard Artifact.

Wizard Artifacts typically have at least one activatable magical power, and their power is amazing.

Generally, only official Wizards are qualified to possess Wizard Artifacts.

As for higher-level magic items, Su Nan guessed that the current Starlight Continent probably doesn’t have even one.

In fact, in his previous life’s game, it wasn’t until the 2.0 version, “Wizards’ Return,” that magic items above the Magic grade appeared.

“I remember that there were a lot of Sub-Magic Items and Low-Magic Items left on the Starlight Continent in the 1.0 version. I need to tell my older brother to pay attention to them.”

Su Nan thought silently.

However, a non-activated magic item looks no different from a normal item to ordinary people, so it’s hard to distinguish them.

Even if he asked Kei to help him pay attention, it probably wouldn’t help much.

It’s better than nothing.

Su Nan put away the Blood Vine Ring and looked at the last two wooden boxes.

Opening the larger one, he found three finger-long leaves inside.

They looked a bit like four-leaf clovers, but they were entirely purplish-blue, crystal-clear and smooth, like gem-shaped leaves.

“This is… Essence Herb!”

Su Nan immediately recognized the origin of the leaves and widened his eyes in surprise.

He immediately placed the leaves in the Magic Cube.

[Essence Herb, Purity 29.28%, consuming it can slightly increase spiritual power, the specific effect depends on the user’s spiritual power, the higher the spiritual power, the weaker the effect, invalid for those with spiritual power at or above 12.]

“It’s actually the Essence Herb that increases spiritual power!”

“Ang Maclaine was so generous…”

Halfway through his sentence, Su Nan suddenly realized that Ang Maclaine, as a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice, definitely had spiritual power exceeding 12 points, the Essence Herb was useless to him and it was normal that he didn’t pay much attention to it.

“Well, it’s my gain now.”

Su Nan happily closed the wooden box and opened the other one.

What greeted him were over thirty glittering gems.

“Sapphires, rubies, fire opals, auroras, moonstone…”

Su Nan marveled.

These gems combined, were worth over one thousand gold coins.

“Good stuff.”

Su Nan pondered for a moment and decided to keep these gems.

After all, with the batch of Blackstone Iron in the warehouse, plus the soon-to-be-reopened Blackstone Mine Area, Black Stone City shouldn’t be short of money for a long time, there was no need to sell these gems for gold.

More importantly, for a Wizard, gems are also a precious material.

Valuable gems don’t just have ornamental and decorative functions.

In the hands of a Wizard, gems can be used for many purposes.

For example, they can be used as casting mediums for specific magic spells.

Su Nan remembered a magic school called “Gem Magic,” its casting mediums were various gems.

This school of magic was notoriously known as a money pit.

Every casting requires a gem, ranging from dozens to hundreds of gold coins.

Unless you’re a Wizard with a wealthy background, you simply can’t afford it.

But conversely, this school’s spells are also incredibly powerful.

A first-ring Burning Hand, using a ruby as a casting medium, can increase its power to the point of a second-ring spell, close to a third-ring spell!

Therefore, the successors of this magic school are all known as big tycoons and over-the-top challengers.

Besides casting mediums, gems are also often used as materials for crafting magic items.

The most common example is wands.

Inlaying different types of gems on a wand can add specific magical powers.

In addition, gems are also often used as energy cores for Puppet Creatures.

Many Wizard Apprentices who can’t afford Soul Crystals will choose gems as energy cores instead.

In short, gems have many uses, unless necessary, Su Nan couldn’t bear to sell them.

After checking the drawers, Su Nan searched other corners of the room carefully. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find anything else of value.

“Forget it, I’ve already gotten enough good stuff this time. I can’t be greedy.”

Su Nan took a long breath and put his things away, leaving the room.

While he was in the study, Kei had sent someone to inform the soldiers outside to bring in carts to move the black iron ingots, and now the hall was bustling with activity.

Seeing Su Nan come out, Kei didn’t ask him what he found inside, but pointed to the lab and asked, “Do you want the stuff inside? If you do, I’ll have someone carry it to your courtyard.”

“No need.” Su Nan shook his head.

Decades have passed, even the magic traps have failed, and the Puppetry Refining equipment inside has long been damaged, there’s no point in repairing it.

After all, Ang Maclaine left behind equipment blueprints in his experimental records, if he needs them later, he’ll just have the territory’s blacksmith craft a set.
