Chapter 131 The Current Situation of Wizards
"Master, Matu and Orson sent a letter."

As soon as he walked out of the meditation room, Sunan saw Carolina walking towards him hurriedly and handing him a letter.

Su Nan raised his eyebrows in surprise, took the letter and opened it.

The Red Widow and the Black Duke had been silent for so long that he had thought the two city-states were planning to abandon Lake City and join forces to fight against Kasham. He didn't expect that there would be movement again.

The content of the letter was very simple, just asking him to meet.

Three days later, the three city lords went to Black Valley alone without any soldiers to meet and discuss matters related to Kasham.

"Master, what did Red Widow and Black Duke say?" Carolina asked cautiously.

Su Nan didn't say anything and handed the letter to her directly.

After Carolina finished reading, Sunan asked, "Where is Heigu?"

"It's almost at the center where the three lines of Matu, Orsen and Youhu City intersect. There is a black valley there."

Carolina knew what Sunan wanted to know and explained in detail:
"The Black Valley is a very special place. Once you use elements and magic there, you will suffer a strong backlash. The stronger you are, the heavier the backlash. That's why when Ursula met with the Red Widow and the Black Duke in the past, they would choose to meet there without worrying about an ambush."

Su Nan's expression changed.

It sounds a bit like a forbidden magic area.

However, spells cannot be cast and energy particles cannot be mobilized in the forbidden magic area.

However, Hei Gu can mobilize energy particles, but he will suffer backlash.

There are similarities in the same way.

No wonder the Red Widow and the Black Princess chose that place as their meeting place.

There, they don't have to worry about Sunan taking action against them.

Similarly, Sunan doesn't have to worry about the other party engaging in any conspiracy or intrigue.

"Master, are you going?" Carolina asked.

Although Sunan didn't say it explicitly, Carolina had a vague feeling that he didn't seem to be keen on working with Matu and Orson.

Carolina originally had objections to this and was ready to find an opportunity to persuade her master.

However, after accidentally seeing several elite double-blade spiders and high-level stone golems in the puppet factory a few days ago, she gave up the idea.

What cooperation?

With the Golem Legion here, it doesn't matter whether Matu and Orson are there or not, Youhu City can deal with the insect plague on its own.

Now it's Matu and Orson's turn to worry about how to deal with the insect plague!

"It would be good to go and see what they are planning."

Sunan smiled meaningfully.

Although I don't plan to cooperate, I can take this opportunity to test the background of Matu and Orson.

After all, after dealing with Kasham, it will be the turn of these two city-states.

Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. It is always a good idea to collect intelligence in advance.

"Please reply to them for me and tell them I agreed."

After Carolina left, Sunan walked towards the study.

There were rolls of parchment piled on the desk. After Su Nan sat down, he took out one roll, unfolded it and read it carefully.

The above content is about the secrets of wizards.

This was the wizard intelligence that had been secretly collected by the Starry Royal Family. After Key discovered this, he sent it to him immediately.

Perhaps because their ancestors were wizards, the former Starry Royal Family attached great importance to wizards and invested a lot of manpower and resources every year to collect, summarize and organize the secrets of wizards in the southeast region of the Starlight Continent.

Over the years, we have achieved considerable results.

According to intelligence records, there are a total of 184 wizards whose whereabouts have been confirmed so far.

Among them, there are 31 first-level wizard apprentices, 148 second-level wizard apprentices, and 5 third-level wizard apprentices.

Judging from the data alone, the gap in the number of second-level wizard apprentices and the other two levels of wizard apprentices is particularly huge.

But if you think about it carefully, it is normal. A first-level wizard apprentice has not yet shown his strength, so he must be very low-key and naturally difficult to be discovered.

The number of third-level wizard apprentices is simply small.

In contrast, second-level wizard apprentices have already mastered a certain level of strength and have begun to use their power to seek benefits for themselves and collect resources. They are naturally the most active group.

It is worth mentioning that among these 184 wizards, more than 70% have died over the past hundreds of years.

The remaining ones are scattered in dozens of countries in the southeastern region of the continent.

The intelligence from the Starry Royal Family detailed the approximate strength of these wizard apprentices, the countries and towns they are currently in, and the cooperating aristocratic forces.

Su Nan looked at them one by one and found that almost all the wizard apprentices had the support of aristocratic forces behind them.

This is normal. After all, in this era of scarce resources, without enough manpower to help, it is difficult for wizard apprentices to collect sufficient resources on their own.

It is worth mentioning that Sunan also found his own information on it.

Before Shining Lord raised the banner of rebellion, intelligence estimates of his strength were only at the level of a two-ring legend.

It can be said that there is a big difference.

It is no wonder that when they were in the Hulan Province, the Spark Cult only sent a high priest to carry the holy objects to protect the Marquis of Hulan.

Besides him, there were four other third-level wizard apprentices.

One of them was a third-level wizard apprentice served by the Starry Royal Family, and he had died at the hands of Oviju.

The second one is Ugo from the Eternal Life Society.

According to intelligence reports, the Society of Immortality is an extremely radical and unscrupulous wizarding organization, with an estimated eight to ten members.

They are active throughout the Starlight Continent, secretly using force and threats to manipulate a large number of nobles from small countries and even royal families to collect resources for them.

In addition, the Eternal Life Society will do everything it can to improve its strength.

Capturing civilians for experiments, allowing modified creatures to slaughter villages in order to collect data, planting evil plants in densely populated residential areas in towns, resulting in the death of large numbers of people. There are simply too many evil deeds like this!
There was even a case where an apprentice of the Eternal Life Society wizard killed the entire population of a small country for an experiment, turning the entire country into ruins!

This incident caused a sensation in the entire southeast region at that time.

Just to avoid causing panic, the matter was tacitly suppressed by the top leaders of neighboring countries, and it was announced to the outside world that the demise of the small country was due to the outbreak of a large-scale plague, so the lower-class people and small nobles basically knew nothing about it.

In the vast Southeast Region, except for a few powerful countries such as the Cangjin Empire, the Stars Principality and the Jinghua Principality that the Eternal Life Society is wary of, the rest of the countries have basically suffered from the harm of the Eternal Life Society.

However, the Eternal Life Society is too powerful, and these countries can only swallow their anger.

"Just like what Night Owl said, the Eternal Life Society is just a bunch of lunatics."

Su Nan knew without thinking that the wizard apprentices of the Eternal Life Society had caused so many disasters that angered God and man, and nine out of ten times they were trying to find ways to prolong life.

These are a group of lunatics who can do anything for eternal life!

That is to say, there are other rational wizards on the continent who can make these lunatics restrain themselves. Otherwise, according to the way the Eternal Life Society is doing, the entire continent will soon become a desolate land. At that time, the already bad training environment will only become worse.

The only good news is that the Eternal Life Society, like the Lodge in the Jungle, has a relatively loose organizational structure.

Each member acts independently and exchanges resources, intelligence, and assistance through transactions, but the relationship between them is not close.

In other words, Ugo's previous threats to him were most likely just bluffs.

The Divine Remains was something that the Eternal Life Society was determined to obtain, but it was just to scare him off.

This thing is probably just what Ugo wants.

However, it is not ruled out that this guy will pay a certain price later and persuade other members of the Eternal Life Society to help.

But no matter what, as long as the entire Eternal Life Society does not go out together, Sunan does not need to worry too much.

Continuing to look down, the forces behind the remaining two third-level wizard apprentices are the royal families of the Cangjin Empire and the Jinghua Principality.

What surprised Sunan was that according to the intelligence description, these two third-level wizard apprentices were actually members of the Forest Lodge.

"A member of the Jungle Lodge who is related to the royal family?"

The images of the scepter and Rose flashed through Sunan’s mind for the first time.

According to his observation, these two people were obviously the most aristocratic in the entire jungle hut.

If nothing unexpected happens, these two third-level wizard apprentices should be the Scepter and the Rose.

Judging from the name, the scepter is most likely the third-level wizard apprentice behind the royal family of the Cangjin Empire.

As for Qiangwei, she was most likely the third-level wizard apprentice behind the royal family of the Principality of Jinghua.

It is precisely because of the presence of these two people that the wizard apprentices of the Eternal Life Society dare not attack the Cangjin Empire and the Jinghua Principality.

As for the Principality of Stars, it was because of Evans and the third-level wizard apprentice who died at the hands of Oviju.

All of the above are wizard apprentices whose whereabouts have been confirmed.

As for those wizard apprentices who have appeared or left clues but whose authenticity or specific whereabouts cannot be confirmed so far, their number will be even greater.

For example, all the wizard apprentices in the Eternal Life Society except Ugo.

The same is true for the Jungle Cabin. Except for Sunan, Scepter and Rose, who have already been identified, no one else appears in this intelligence.

After all, the intelligence gathering of the Principality of Stars is mainly limited to the southeast region, and it is difficult for its influence to spread to other areas, so it is naturally difficult to collect intelligence on wizards in those places.

It took more than half an hour for Sunan to carefully read the entire intelligence and gain a general understanding of the current situation of wizards in the southeast region of the Starlight Continent.

It has to be said that compared to the hundreds of millions of people in dozens of countries in the southeastern region of the continent, the number of wizard apprentices is really pitifully small.

The proportion is not even one ten-thousandth.

If you really compare them, perhaps all the wizard apprentices in the Southeast Region combined are not as many as the wizard apprentices in his base.

Although all the people in his base are first-level wizard apprentices.

But it's normal to think about it. After all, the current situation in Starlight Continent makes it difficult to produce too many wizard apprentices.

There are currently two main backgrounds for wizard apprentices on the continent.

The first type is a lucky person with wizard qualifications who accidentally comes across an enlightenment book, which stimulates his spiritual power and thus embarks on the path of a wizard, accumulating strength and collecting resources bit by bit. If his luck and qualifications are good enough and he is promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice, he can then find an aristocratic force to join and stand in the spotlight.

The number of wizard apprentices born through this channel is extremely small.

The second type is children of aristocrats or royal families.

Some royal families and nobles who know the secrets of wizards, or whose ancestors once had wizard apprentices, will use enlightenment books to test the qualifications of their children.

Once a child is detected to have the talent to become a wizard, every effort will be made to train him or her.

There are relatively many such wizard apprentices, and because of their background, they are often more likely to be promoted to third-level wizard apprentices.

For example, the scepter and the rose both belong to the second origin.

Of course there is another way, that is, the wizard apprentice trains his own students.

But this is very rare.

After all, wizard apprentices’ own resources are not enough, and generally there are few extra resources to train students.

It is unheard of for someone like Sunan to spend huge amounts of resources to train dozens of wizard apprentices at the same time.

While others are training guardians of the country and family, or students to inherit their legacy, Sunan is cultivating his own power.

As these students grow up, the base will be able to become the most powerful wizard force in the Starlight Continent.

"From this information, there should be no official wizards left in the Starlight Continent now."

"At least there shouldn't be any in the southeast region."

If there are still official wizards in the southeast region of the Starlight Continent, it is impossible that the Starry Royal Family has not found any clues for so many years.

As for other areas of Starlight Continent, we have to continue investigating to find out.

"Next time we meet, I have to ask Big Brother to also pay attention to collecting relevant information."

After putting down the information, Sunan turned his wrist and a talisman stone appeared out of thin air in his palm.

It was from Evans that the key to finding and entering the Tower of Stars was obtained.

"The next time it appears will be twelve years from now."

Sunan stared at the talisman stone, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

According to Evans, one has to pass a trial to enter the Tower of Stars.

Considering that anyone with wizard qualifications is eligible to enter the Tower of Stars, and those who enter are likely not even first-level wizard apprentices, the difficulty of the trial for them should not be too high.

But there are other possibilities.

For example, wizard apprentices of different levels who enter the Tower of Stars will face different trials, with varying degrees of difficulty.

We won’t know which one it is until we actually enter the Tower of Stars.

Sunan estimated that twelve years should be enough for him to construct eighteen star rings and increase his mental power to more than 60 points.

All that remains is to construct the crystallization of talent.

This is the most difficult hurdle in becoming a formal wizard.

Many third-level wizard apprentices are blocked at this stage, wasting decades until their life ends without being able to take the last step.

"Given the current situation of the Starlight Continent, even if I have the magic cube in my hand, it will take at least 40 to 50 years to build the talent crystal."

"But if we can find resources to assist in our advancement in the Tower of Stars, we might be able to overcome this stage in advance."

Sunan had a vague intuition that perhaps his opportunity to become a formal wizard was in the Tower of Stars.
