Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 41: When This is Over

With Amy in tow, Su Nan quietly returned to his room at the tavern.

As soon as they entered, Amy immediately flew towards the bed, rolling around on the soft sheets.

“Meow, I haven’t slept on such a soft bed in so many days. Tonight, finally, no one will come to catch me!”

“Although that’s true, haven’t you forgotten something important?”

On the way back to the tavern, Su Nan had been constantly giving himself mental pep talks, emphasizing that he had no ill intentions towards Amy. Now, he could begin to subtly guide her without any burden.

Amy, sprawled on the bed with her limbs stretched out, raised her head, pondered for a moment in confusion, and then jumped up as if she had remembered something.

“Meow, I almost forgot! I haven’t gotten my master’s things back!”

The little cat hopped onto Su Nan’s lap, looking at him with teary eyes.

Good, she remembered.

Su Nan gave a gentle smile and scratched Amy’s chin, saying, “Of course, we are friends, aren’t we?”

“Meow, thank you, Su Nan, you’re such a good person.”

Amy showed a look of enjoyment and took a while to come back to her senses before quickly asking, “So, what should we do?”

“Tomorrow night, we’ll go to the Starfire Sect’s stronghold. I’ll have the Infiltrator lure everyone out, and then we’ll sneak in, get your things back, and take the Divine Blood Crystal as well. We’ll give them a lesson!”

“Meow, let’s do that, give them a lesson!”

Amy couldn’t distinguish whether the plan was good or bad, but she trusted Su Nan.

Since Su Nan said so, then it must be fine.

Relaxing, Amy couldn’t help but yawn and sleepily went back to bed, quickly falling into a deep sleep.

Looking at the carefree little cat, Su Nan couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle. He sat cross-legged at the foot of the bed and began to meditate.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, Amy didn’t wake up until almost noon.

“Meow, I slept so well.”

With a leap, she jumped onto the table and scratched the bell hanging from her neck. On her chubby paw, a crystal clear, mint-leaf shaped ice crystal appeared out of thin air.

Amy put the ice crystal leaf to her nose and sniffed it a few times, then put it in her mouth.

Seeing her blissful expression, it was as if she was savoring some divine delicacy.

“What is that?” Su Nan curiously asked.

“Ice-Congealed Mint. It tastes great, do you want to try some?”

Amy generously gave Su Nan a piece.

He took it and looked at it for a few moments before putting it in the Magic Cube.

【Ice-Congealed Mint, carrying it on your person can resist heat poison intrusion. Direct consumption has a refreshing effect.】

It was a magical plant, no wonder it looked so strange.

Su Nan glanced at Amy. The little cat was holding the Ice-Congealed Mint and sniffing it and licking it, and soon, she was like a puddle of mud on the table, looking quite comfortable.

Shaking his head with amusement, Su Nan went to sit by the window and took out a book to read.

Recently, he had discovered another use for the Magic Cube – it could be used as a temporary storage item.

As long as it was a non-living object without independent consciousness, it could be put into the Magic Cube.

Moreover, the Magic Cube could shield the energy fluctuations of some special items.

For example, the Divine Blood Crystal.

Whether it was placed in his pocket or in Amy’s bell, it would be sensed by the Starfire Sect.

But when placed in the Magic Cube, even Amy couldn’t sense the energy fluctuations of the Divine Blood Crystal.

From this point of view, the Magic Cube was undoubtedly a higher level of existence than spatial magic items.

If there was any problem, it was that when using the Magic Cube to synthesize items, everything had to be taken out, which was a bit inconvenient.

“I still need to find a real spatial magic item.”

Su Nan sighed slightly, put his thoughts aside and focused on reading.

In the evening, he went downstairs to eat something, showing his presence to avoid the innkeeper coming to knock on his door after seeing him shut himself in the room all day.

While eating, Su Nan accidentally overheard a piece of news.

“Did you hear? Viscount is recruiting heroes to eliminate evil spirits!”

“What evil spirits?”

“Wasn’t it said that Lord Kubelo’s manor is haunted? It’s said to be an evil spirit.”

“Even the Viscount is alarmed by this?”

“After all, several knights died. Because of this, the Viscount is offering a bounty of a thousand gold coins!”

“Really? A thousand gold coins, I wouldn’t be able to spend it all in a lifetime!”

Several patrons exclaimed in amazement.

Su Nan’s eyes flickered. He ate his food without showing any emotion, then went upstairs back to his room.

Time passed slowly.

The gloomy night gradually enveloped the entire Stone Bell City.

Su Nan looked at the night sky outside the window, closed the book, and stood up.

“It’s time to go.”

Amy, who had been boredly licking her paws, immediately got up when she heard this.

“Meow, I’m ready!”

Su Nan nodded, pushed open the window, leaped out, and landed silently in the alley behind the tavern.

Amy appeared beside him on his shoulder.

Under the cloak of night, the man and the cat rushed out of the alley and ran towards the Starfire Sect’s stronghold.

Late at night, most of the city’s residents had already gone to sleep.

The streets were deserted, only occasionally seeing a few drunkards lying on the side of the road.

Every now and then, patrolling city guards passed by, but Su Nan had sensed them beforehand and easily avoided them.

It didn’t take long for the man and the cat to reach the Starfire Sect’s stronghold.

Looking at the brightly lit manor in the distance, a cold light flashed in Su Nan’s eyes.

“Go, try to lure everyone out.”

A low, muffled growl came from behind, as if a gentle breeze had blown past, then everything fell silent.

Deep within the manor, in the master bedroom.

The atmosphere was stagnant.

Four cultists stood silently before the desk, not daring to breathe, let alone look at Priest Casper sitting opposite them.

“Two cultists, plus twenty more disciples, all killed overnight, and you still haven’t found a single clue about the killer. ”

Casper’s gaze swept coldly over the four, his voice becoming even colder.

“I’m starting to doubt whether you have the ability to continue serving as cultists!”

Sweat broke out on the foreheads of the four cultists.

A senior cultist hurriedly said, “Priest, we’ve checked the scene and confirmed that most of the disciples died from the claws of some kind of ferocious beast, while Ryan’s body had electrical burns. As for Troy, although we haven’t found his body, based on the traces at the scene, he was most likely burned to ashes by high-temperature flames.”

Casper’s eyes narrowed, coldly saying, “Are you trying to tell me that they were killed by a legendary knight who keeps magical beasts as pets?”

“No, no!”

The cultist hurriedly shook his head.

If there was a legendary knight who had a grudge against the sect and entered Stone Bell City, they would have received news beforehand.

“Aside from legendary knights, there are also wizards who have mastered elemental powers.”

“We all believe that the killer is most likely a wizard, who is likely connected to the magical creature we’ve been pursuing!”

Casper remained silent for a while before saying, “No matter what, the two Divine Blood Crystals that were taken must be retrieved. We can’t allow them to be lost!”

“I don’t care what methods you use, you must find that wizard!”

“Or else, you know the consequences!”

“Yes, sir!”

The four cultists’ expressions tightened, and they responded in unison.

Casper’s expression softened slightly. He rubbed his temples and asked, “How is the investigation going in Black Stone City?”

A cultist hesitated and said, “Sir, the four we sent all lost contact. The list of spies given to us by Baron Owen, all the people on it have been eliminated. Yuri and the others probably have already…”

Casper’s eyes twitched.

Losing two Great Knights and two Senior Knights at once was a major blow to the Stone Bell City stronghold.

Coupled with the losses from last night, it could be described as a major blow!

“Logically, Black Stone City only has Kei Arnest, a Great Knight. There’s no way Yuri and the others could fail, is there?” one cultist said.

Another one snorted coldly, “Do we even need to think about it? Baron Owen must have given us false information. There must be other strong figures in Black Stone City. This assassination failed, he must be held accountable!”

Casper looked at the senior cultist, who immediately understood and said, “Baron Owen said he didn’t know what happened either. That guy is crazy, he insists that our ability is insufficient and demands that we continue to send assassins to kill the two targets.”

“He thinks he’s got it all figured out.”

A scornful smile appeared on Casper’s face. He waved his hand.

“Tell him, the previous payment will be considered compensation for the misinformation. If he wants us to continue assassinating the targets, he’ll have to pay another three thousand gold coins.”

“Yes, sir.”

Waving the four cultists away, Casper got up and went to the window, gazing out at the vast night sky.

“This mishap is not trivial. Fortunately, we still have that batch of goods. As long as we hand it over, it should be enough to make up for this loss. If we manage it well, it’s not impossible to move up a level.”

“When this is over, I’ll take the goods to Giantwood City myself.”

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Casper’s mouth.

Boom!

A thunderous roar suddenly came from a distance.

Casper’s smile froze. He looked towards the distance and saw rolling dust rising from the direction of the manor’s gate.
