Synthesis Wizard.

Chapter 198 Traditional Art Black Key

The death of the God's messenger not only made the Spider City lose its last trump card, but also completely crushed the morale of the dark elf army.

With just one charge, the dark elf army collapsed, and the battle turned into a one-sided massacre.

The battle is decided!

The dark elf matrons came to their senses and immediately ordered a retreat, but under the pursuit of the Golem Legion and the Magic Pattern Knights, the retreat quickly turned into a rout.

In the end, only a small number of remnants escaped back to the Demon Spider City.

After this battle, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Demon Spider City suffered heavy losses.

The Demon Spider City, which has lost the favor of the Queen of Gods, has no value anymore. Sunan does not intend to keep it and directly orders an attack on the Demon Spider City.

The golem army marched to the Spider City that same day, and in less than an hour they broke through the city gates and entered the city.

At this point, the Demon Spider City fell.

The last piece of territory in the southeast region also fell into the hands of the Star Alliance.

The only ruler of the southeast region of the underground world was officially born.

Dragon Skeleton Tower, laboratory.

After bringing back the corpse of the Half-Spider God, Sunan immediately extracted the divine energy.

Just as he expected, the divine energy contained in the Half-Spider God far exceeded that of the spider elf, reaching a total of 213 standard units.

To Sunan's surprise, according to the display of the Rubik's Cube, these divine energies were not only contaminated by faith, but also a kind of soul toxin.

This soul poison causes cursed damage to the wizard's soul.

Once you are hit, even if you can survive, your soul will suffer irreversible damage and it will take a lot of time to recover.

"That cunning spider has another trick up his sleeve."

Sunan sneered.

Obviously, the Spider Queen guessed his purpose of collecting divine energy, so she stuffed something into the divine energy, intending to stab him in the back.

If it weren't for the Rubik's Cube, he might not have been able to discover the trap.

"As expected of a god known for his cunningness, he even considered counterattacks after failure."

If we change the wizard, the Spider Queen might really succeed.

Unfortunately, this trick doesn't work on Sunan.

As for the Spider Queen's previous words that implied threats, Sunan didn't take them seriously.

Although it is still unclear how the Spider Queen infiltrated her tentacles into the Starlight Continent, judging from a series of previous actions, she was obviously restricted by the Starlight Continent and could not infiltrate too much power.

Especially after losing the faith of the dark elves and lacking sacrifices and media, it became even more difficult for her to infiltrate the Starlight Continent.

When the dimensional barriers of the Starlight Continent were restored, wizards began to return.

At that time, even if the Spider Goddess had ten times the courage, she would not dare to blatantly infiltrate the Starlight Continent, let alone descend upon it.

The last sentence was just the barking of a mad dog, and Sunan just thought she was farting.

Perhaps because all the energy was focused on creating spider elves, not a single holy object can be found in the Demon Spider City. Only a few statues of the Spider Queen contain a trace of divine energy.

Sunan extracted all of them and then put them into the Rubik's Cube to synthesize them.

Synthesis can eradicate the pollution of faith and naturally purify the toxins of the soul.

After purifying the divine energy with the Rubik's Cube, Sunan absorbed it immediately. By the time he had digested all the divine energy, his mental concentration had increased by 17.57%.

[Vaporization: 40.19%]

Looking at the data on the panel, Sunan breathed a sigh of relief.

This wave can be said to be a full meal, which directly saved decades of training time.

Even if there is no divine energy to absorb in the future, if you practice step by step, it will only take about two hundred years to break through to the first level of liquefaction.

Moreover, even without divine energy, there are other means to speed up cultivation.

Sunan has not forgotten the original purpose of attacking the Demon Spider City.

The Philier family, one of the twelve families in Spider City, may hold clues to the Black Forest, one of the three major wizard inheritances.

As long as we find the Black Forest, we might be able to find something in it that can improve our spiritual concentration.

For this reason, Sunan specifically ordered Sherman to interrogate the people of the Philier family as soon as possible after conquering the Demon Spider City.

There should be results in a few days.

The result came faster than Su Nan expected.

On the second day after conquering Demon Spider City, Xie Man delivered what Sunan wanted.

"In other words, it was the dark elf who took the initiative to provide the clues?"

In the study, Su Nan raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked Xie Man.

"Yes, teacher."

Sherman also had a strange look on his face.

"On the day we captured the Spider City, I arrested all members of the Filier family, including the matriarch and martial arts leader of the Filier family, and immediately handed them over to the Human-faced Lion for interrogation. However, all the female dark elves refused to speak. The male dark elves were willing to cooperate, but unfortunately they had no valuable information."

Dark elves respect women, a tradition that originally came from the influence of the Spider Queen.

This female deity favors female dark elves more, often granting them more gifts than male dark elves, which also leads to the low status of men in the dark elf clan.

Therefore, male dark elves have no access to high-level things, so it is normal that they don’t know any clues about the Black Forest.

It was somewhat unexpected that the female dark elves were so stubborn.

It seems that the Spider Queen must have done something, causing the erosion of the faith of these female dark elves.

Only this can explain why those female dark elves would rather die than speak.

However, this makes the female dark elf who took the initiative to give out clues stand out as particularly special.

"What is that person's status in the Philier family?" Sunan asked.

"Her name is Tatjana. She is an ordinary warrior of the Filier family, but she is the daughter of Madam Filier."

Su Nan's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Daughter betrays mother?

Well. It's not surprising if you think about it carefully. Among the dark elves who like internal fighting, many family matriarchs usually take power through a coup after their daughters backstab their mothers. This is a traditional skill for the dark elves.

And if she is the daughter of the mistress, it is not surprising that she has the opportunity to come into contact with the Black Forest.

What surprised Sunan was that other female dark elves had their faith eroded, so why was this female dark elf named Tatjana the only exception?

Su Nan suddenly felt a little curious.

"Bring that dark elf here."

"is teacher."

After Xie Man left, Sunan looked at a black branch on the table.

This is what Sherman and others found in the temple of the Philier family after Tatjana gave the instructions.

The branches were about ten centimeters long, as thick as an index finger, and the surface was wrinkled like bark, covered with fine lines. But if you look closely, you can find that these fine lines seem to contain some kind of rules, faintly forming some kind of enchanted runes.

In fact, this is not an ordinary branch, but a magical item.

It is also the key to open the Black Forest.

After putting it into the Rubik's Cube, Sunan got all the information about this branch.

Unfortunately, the Rubik's Cube did not provide specific instructions for use. He still had to study for a while before he could determine how to use this thing to find the Black Forest.

Sunan felt happy at the thought that he would soon find the second wizard inheritance.

"The only thing left is Falling Star City."

He must obtain all the resources inherited by the three great wizards.

Otherwise, relying solely on the existing resources in the Starlight Continent, it would take a long time to be promoted to a second-level wizard.

Not long after, Sherman walked in with a dark elf girl.

She had a tall and slender figure, beautiful and delicate facial features. Like most dark elves, the girl in front of him was also very beautiful.

Although the black jade-like skin does not conform to the aesthetic taste of most people, in the eyes of a few people, it may be a plus.

While Sunan was looking at Tatjana, the latter was also secretly observing Sunan.

When she thought that the person in front of her was the actual controller of the Star Alliance and a powerful wizard who killed the messenger of God, Tatjana couldn't help but tense up.

This is an involuntary physiological reaction that occurs when a living organism is faced with an existence at an unrivaled higher level of life.

Seeing Tatana's nervousness, Sunan directly cast a hypnosis spell, and the dark elf girl's eyes instantly became blank and lifeless.

With Sunan's current mental strength and the hypnosis he cast, anyone below the level of a legendary knight would be unable to even struggle for a moment.

Then he walked out of the desk, came to Tatjana, and placed his palm on the girl's head.

Xie Man on the side looked at the scene in confusion but did not make any noise to interrupt.

After a while, Sunan ended the mental detection and returned to the desk.

He is now certain that Tatjana has not been corrupted by her faith, and the reason is probably because she possesses spiritual power far beyond that of her tribe members.

After all, the Spider Queen's erosion of the dark elves' faith is on a large scale. For individuals, as long as their mental strength reaches a certain limit, they can resist or even become immune to it.

And Tatjana happens to be the one who is immune.

"I didn't expect that there are individuals with such high mental power among the dark elves."

"He's a good candidate for becoming a wizard."

Su Nan pondered secretly.

While he was thinking, Tatjana had gradually recovered.

The dark elf girl's superior mental power made her vaguely feel that something was wrong. It seemed that something had just happened, but when she thought carefully, she could not remember it.

"Why would you offer clues?"

Sunan's voice suddenly sounded, waking Tajana up.

She hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Everyone has gone crazy. They are all controlled by the Queen of Gods. She even killed my best friend. I don't want to follow her wishes. Since she wants others to hide the Black Key, I have to tell it out!"

Sherman looked at Tatana in surprise. He could hear the resentment towards the Spider Queen in the girl's tone, which didn't seem fake.

Su Nan said calmly: "That's because their faith has been eroded."

"Erosion of faith?" Tatjana looked confused.

Xie Man glanced at Sunan's expression and explained to Tatiana in a low voice.

As a wizard apprentice, he certainly knew about the erosion of faith in the gods.

After listening to Sherman's story, Tatjana's face showed an expression of shock and astonishment.

She had never thought that the so-called gods turned out to be such creatures that controlled their believers by eroding their faith.

It's so hateful!

Tatjana did not suspect that Sunan and Sheman were deceiving her, there was no need to do so.

For a moment, she became more and more angry towards the Spider Queen.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "Master Wizard, can my people still be saved?"

Sunan shook his head slightly.

The erosion of faith is not irreversible, but it will come at a high price. He cannot afford to pay such a huge price just to deal with a group of dark elves.

Tatjana lowered her head with a sad face.

"Master Wizard, what are you going to do with us?"

"For your sake, I can let your people go. As long as they work in the mines obediently, I will not execute them."

This answer was really beyond Tatiana's expectations. She looked up at Sunan in surprise.

Even Sherman was surprised.

In his opinion, it would be fine to keep the male dark elves, since their faith was not deeply eroded anyway. But keeping the female dark elves would do more harm than good. Based on his teacher's past practices, he would definitely eliminate the female dark elves without hesitation.

Now he is letting her off the hook because of this dark elf girl?
Sherman couldn't help but look at Tatjana a few times, and his mind was inexplicably filled with some wrong thoughts.

Could it be that the teacher has taken a fancy to this dark elf girl?

But soon, Sunan's next words dispelled his wild thoughts.

"You have the qualifications to be a wizard, would you like to give it a try?"

When these words came out, Sherman and Tatiana were both stunned.

Xie Man was completely stunned.

Dark Elf Wizard Apprentice?
The teacher is kidding, right?
But soon, he realized that there seemed to be no book that said dark elves could not become wizards. It was just that he had never seen a wizard apprentice other than humans, so he subconsciously thought that this was exclusive to humans.

Tatjana was also shocked, but after she came to her senses, she couldn't help but feel excited.

How powerful the wizard is, the one in front of me has already proved it with his actions!
Even the messenger of God is no match for him!
Even if he could only possess half, no, one-third of the power of this great wizard, it would probably be enough to dominate the underworld.

Tatjana was not stupid. She knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her, so she agreed without hesitation.

Su Nan nodded with satisfaction: "From today on, you are an official student of Starlight Academy. Work hard. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me when I arrive at Starlight Academy."

"Yes, thank you, Master Wizard." Tatjana said, trying hard to suppress her ecstasy.

Xie Man looked at her enviously.

He had never seen any student receive such care from the teacher.

Xieman then took Tatiana away. Sunan leaned back in his chair with a pensive look on his face.

Wizards are not exclusive to humans. Other races have also produced wizards, but their numbers are very small.

And almost all of them are sub-races similar to humans.

After all, the existing wizarding knowledge was almost entirely created based on humans. If other races were to learn and practice this knowledge, they would inevitably be unable to adapt to the local environment and achieve half the result with twice the effort.

It's a rare opportunity to meet a dark elf with the qualifications of a wizard, and the qualifications are very outstanding. I can take this opportunity to practice and see what the difference is between sub-human wizards and human wizards.
