Chapter 138: The Hope of Becoming a Wizard

three days later.

Sunan brought his army of golems to Matu and officially took over the city-state.

It has to be said that vampires are a very powerful race.

They have long lifespans, cunning tactics, and powerful combat capabilities. They are experts in both fighting on the front battlefield and serving as scouts and assassins.

Its only weakness is its fear of sunlight and low reproduction rate.

Fortunately, in the underground world, the former can be simply ignored.

Instead, it was the problem of low reproduction that limited the expansion of Matu's power.

In such a huge city-state, the total number of vampires is less than two hundred, but there are more than ten thousand subordinate races and slaves.

In other words, the individual vampires have superb combat power, and there are many knights and great knights, otherwise they would not be able to suppress so many vassals and slaves.

Thousands of stalactites hang down from the top of the cave, with blue, green and dark purple flames burning and swirling among them, like a sea of ​​clouds, providing faint lighting for the entire Matu.

Sunan stood on a stone pillar two or three hundred meters high, overlooking the ground, watching the golems walk into the city one after another, and the slaves busy carrying various supplies, coming and going like ants. In a trance, he had the illusion of looking down on all living beings.

Now the Kasham swarm has been cleared out, Matu's vampires have surrendered, Orson's zombie clan has been wiped out by the Red Widow and her men, and Youhu City has fallen into his hands early.

It can be said that the area within a hundred miles is his territory.

In time, after digesting the fruits of war and truly bringing all city-states under his control, he will have truly established a firm foothold in the underground world and have a foundation of his own.

"All of Orson's ghouls were annihilated, leaving only a group of vassal races and slaves. We need to send a group of people to handle the affairs."

"Let's dispatch a group of sphinxes and vampires from Youhu City and Matu respectively."

With the subjugation of Matu's vampire and the addition of the Sphinx, Sunan's manpower is finally not so stretched.

However, what followed was a shortage of troops.

Kasham can be ignored, but Youhu, Matu and Orson all need garrison troops.

Although a lot of golems were lost in this war, the remaining ones are more than enough to guard Youhu.

We can also draw some of them to settle in Matu and guard Matu together with the vampires, which is enough.

The only thing is that Orson’s military strength is now empty and needs a large number of golems to fill it.

Moreover, there are six mines controlled by Orson and Matu in total, and these mines require the dispatch of golems to develop, guard and escort the ore.

All of these require manpower.

Including the clay golems, there is a gap of almost a thousand golems.

"Leave the refining of the golem to the base."

Nowadays, more and more apprentices in the base have mastered puppet refining, and now Sunan no longer needs to work hard to refine stone golems himself.

If necessary, he can obtain a large number of stone golems in a short period of time by increasing the mission rewards.

It was because of this reason that the golem army was able to double in just over a month during this war.

Of course, the Iron Golem and the Double-blade Spider still need to be made by him personally.

"Next, I will concentrate on studying the blood mark and divine energy."

Sunan looked towards the direction of Youhu City.

He imprisoned the Deathstroke Rumbler in Base No. 2 and sent three high-level stone golems and three elite double-blade puppets to guard him, as well as the Hidden Dragon, to ensure that he would not escape.

For a long time to come, his focus will be on this alien insect with ancient bloodline.

Late at night, dark clouds obscured the silver moon, and the night sky became dim and dark.

Saullo was walking on a remote forest path, surrounded by darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, he stopped and stretched out his hand. A ball of light slowly emerged between his palms, and the soft light extended in all directions, casting long shadows on the surrounding densely packed cedar tree trunks in the woods. However, in places where the light could not reach, the darkness seemed even deeper.

"Come out." Sauro said in a deep voice.

Two figures walked out of the darkness and emerged into the light.

The figure on the left was so bloated that it was no longer in human shape. There seemed to be something stuffed under his grey robe, which was almost about to burst. Strange noises could be heard faintly coming from inside, as if some creature was chewing something.

The figure on the right was only as tall as an adult's waist and looked like a dwarf. The hem of his long, wide black robe dragged on the ground, completely covering his body. His face was also hidden by the brim of his hat, and only darkness could be seen.

"Why are you calling us here so urgently? What happened?"

The short black-robed man on the right spoke slowly, his voice as sharp as that of a child going through voice change.

"Ugo is dead," said Sauro.

The two figures, one tall and one short, were silent for a long time, and then the man in black robe asked:

"Who did it?"

"Sunan."

"Who is Sunan?" the fat man in gray robe asked in a muffled voice.

The black-robed man sneered, "How long have you locked yourself in the lab? Even Su Nan doesn't know?"

The man in gray robe glanced at the man in black robe and said nothing.

It was Sauro who explained: "Sunan is a newly promoted third-level wizard apprentice in the Principality of Stars. However, he is very powerful and is now a member of the Forest Lodge."

"How is Hugo related to Sunan?" asked the man in black robe.

"He wanted to snatch the Starfire Cult's divine remains from Su Nan, so he attacked Su Nan's territory in the underground world. However, he was outmatched and died at the hands of Su Nan."

"The bell-beater?"

"It should have fallen into Sunan's hands as well."

The black-robed man said with disdain, "It's fine if that guy who spent all his time hiding in the underground world playing with insects dies, but it's a pity for the Death Knell Beater. The descendants of the ancient bloodline are rare. If it were given to me, it would definitely be of greater use."

"I want to eat too!" said the man in gray robe in a muffled voice.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you do all day is eat! So noisy! If you say something like that again, I'll kill you!"

The man in black robe suddenly became furious, and his voice rose several tones, filled with violence and cruelty.

Sauro frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Calm down!"

The man in black robe paused for a moment, took a deep breath, regained his composure after a moment, and said sorry coldly.

"Your bloodline has seriously affected your emotions and rationality." Sauro said in a deep voice, "Find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible, or don't blame me for kicking you out of the Eternal Life Society!"

The Eternal Life Society seemed crazy to other wizard apprentices, but they didn't think so.

Everything they did was out of their own will and for the purpose of increasing their strength. It was a rational decision, unlike the wizard apprentices who lost their minds and fell into madness.

The most important thing for a wizard is reason.

Even the Immortal Society would despise a wizard apprentice who lost his mind.

The man in black robe was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "I understand. I have already figured it out. It won't take long to solve this problem."

"That's good." Sauro nodded slightly.

"Back to the point, you asked us to come here just because of Ugo? You don't want to help him get revenge, do you?"

Sauro shook his head: "I am not that noble. I asked you to come here for the Tower of Stars."

The Tower of Stars! As soon as these four words came out, the black-robed man and the gray-robed man were both moved.

The man in black robe immediately asked, "Have you found the Tower of Stars?"

"No." Sauro said slowly, "But I already have clues about the Tower of Stars."

"The Tower of Stars appears every twenty years, and the next time it opens will be twelve years later. However, the location is random, and you need a key to find the specific location. You also need a key to enter the Tower of Stars."

The man in black robe asked suspiciously, "How did you know?"

Sauro said calmly, "I have read information about the Starry Tower in a book, and I inferred that the Starry Tower has a great relationship with the Kessler family who informed the Principality of Starry. So I found Evans and asked him."

"Evans? The three-ring legendary knight of the Kessler family?"

"Yes."

"He will tell you such important information honestly?"

"I used some tricks."

The man in black robe chuckled and immediately understood.

It is said that Evans made a deal with Sunan, saving the last royal bloodline of the Kessler family in exchange for surrender.

Sauro most likely threatened Evans with the only remaining royal bloodline to force him to reveal the clue to the Tower of Stars.

Otherwise it is hard to imagine that a three-ringed legendary knight would submit obediently.

"In that case, Evans should have the key to enter the Starry Tower. Where is the key?"

Sauro opened his palm, and a rune stone lay in the palm.

"This is the key to enter the Tower of Stars."

The man in black robe stared at the talisman stone, and his breathing became faster involuntarily.

The gray-robed man also changed his dazed look and subconsciously took a few steps forward. The chewing sounds coming from under his robe became more and more frequent.

Any wizard apprentice who knows the existence of the Starry Tower understands what this inheritance means.

Tower of Stars, Black Forest, and Falling Star City.

These are the only three official wizard inheritances on the Starlight Continent, and are also the hope for countless wizard apprentices to become wizards.

As long as they find one of these three inheritances, they will have a great hope of being promoted to a formal wizard, gaining extraordinary power and a long life.

But soon, they forced themselves to calm down and took their eyes off the keys.

If the key was held by any other wizard apprentice, the two would definitely snatch it without hesitation.

But when facing Sauro, they could only suppress the thoughts in their hearts.

As members of the same organization, they knew how terrible Sauro was.

Even if the two of them joined forces, they could not be a match for Sauro.

"How many people can the key allow to enter the Tower of Stars?" asked the man in black robe.

"One person." Sauro quickly added, "Don't worry, there are far more than two or three keys to enter the Starry Tower. There are many more."

The man in black robe was overjoyed: "Where are the other keys?"

"Evans has more than one key."

Sauro put away the key, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"It's a pity that a wizard apprentice intervened and rescued Evans. Otherwise, we could have forced him to reveal the whereabouts of the other keys."

"In addition, Sunan also has a key to the Starry Tower, which was traded to him by Evans."

The gray-robed man said sullenly, "Then let's just find those two people and take away all the keys!"

The man in black robe said coldly: "Let's not talk about Evans. Sunan only has one key. Who will it belong to if he snatches it?"

The gray-robed man fell silent.

The Tower of Stars is the hope for advancement as a wizard, and they will never give the key to others.

As for giving the key to one person first and then distributing it to other people when the other keys are taken from Evans, that is even more impossible.

The trust between them is not yet deep enough to reach that level.

But if they don't join forces, they won't be sure to deal with Sunan alone.

Although they looked down on Ugo, they did not underestimate the power he had established in the underground world.

Being able to kill Ugo who controls Kasham, Sunan's own strength and the power he controls are enough to make people extremely fearful.

They were not 100% sure that they could snatch the key from Su Nan.

In comparison, Evans, a three-ring legendary knight, is easier to deal with.

Besides, that guy has more than one key.

As long as we find Evans' whereabouts, if we all work together, we will most likely get what we want.

The black-robed man quickly came up with an idea and asked expressionlessly, "Who is the wizard apprentice who saved Evans?"

"I don't know. The man is hiding very well." Sauro shook his head.

The one who could rescue people from Sauro and escape successfully was definitely not an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice.

Several names flashed through the black-robed man's mind, and then he said, "Sauro, I request a meeting."

"I second the motion." The man in gray robe said in a muffled voice.

For the two of them alone, finding a three-ring legendary knight with the assistance of a third-level wizard apprentice in the vast continent is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so they have to call on others to help.

With the key to the Tower of Stars, no one would refuse this cooperation.

"I have already sent out the notice." Sauro had obviously guessed their plans a long time ago, "I came here tonight to inform you that the meeting will be held in a month, at the same place."

"I understand." The man in black robe nodded.

After the matter was settled, Saulo turned around and left without any delay, disappearing into the night.

As he left, the light around him gradually disappeared, and the forest fell into deep darkness again.

Being in the darkness, the man in black seemed to be in better spirits. He turned to look at the man in grey, curled his lips, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the man in grey.

"You smell like dragon blood, in a very high concentration."

The man in black robe stopped walking, turned around and said sarcastically: "Your nose is still as sensitive as ever. Have you transformed a new organ?"

The gray-robed man did not answer, but said in a muffled voice: "Trade. I will exchange the core of flesh and blood with you!"

The black-robed man was silent for a moment, then said, "Forget about the flesh and blood core. It is of no use to me now. If you really want the dragon blood, do me a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"Kill someone. As for who it is, I'll tell you when we get there. If you agree, we'll leave now."

"Where to go?"

"Underground world."
