Synthesis Wizard

## Chapter 55: A True Miracle

Magic puppets can be broadly categorized based on their material composition: Flesh Puppets, Clay Puppets, Stone Puppets, Metal Puppets, and Supreme Puppets, among others.

Flesh Puppets are unique, their power determined by the quality of the flesh used in their construction, resulting in a wide range of capabilities.

At the lower end, Flesh Puppets crafted from the flesh of ferocious beasts are only slightly stronger than novice knights.

At the upper end, God-Body Puppets constructed from the flesh of deities are so powerful that even True Spirit Wizards would retreat in fear.

Clay Puppets are mainly used as laborers, not known for their combat prowess, capable of only bullying Probationary Knights.

Stone Puppets are somewhat better, but only reach the combat level of a Formal Knight.

Metal Puppets, on the other hand, exhibit a far wider variety: Steel Puppets, Mithril Puppets, Shadow Steel Puppets, Diamond Puppets, and many more.

Generally, the more precious the material, the more powerful the resulting puppet.

Shadow Steel Puppets and Diamond Puppets, in particular, are capable of engaging a Formal Wizard in battle.

Of course, the cost of producing such puppets is astronomical.

Su Nan doesn’t know if the Star Light Continent even has the materials required to create Shadow Steel and Diamond Puppets anymore.

As for Supreme Puppets, they represent the primordial form of magic energy constructs.

Building upon this primal form, Wizards have developed legendary constructs like Arcane Guardians, Magic Energy Mechas, Tower Spirit Constructs, and Silver Sage, among others.

These legendary constructs are typically used to combat deities.

Besides these puppets, there are also specialized models such as the Dark Puppet, the Strangulation Puppet, the Bone Puppet, etc.

However, due to their specific functions, they are generally only created by Wizards with specific needs.

In summary, magic puppets vary greatly in combat strength depending on their type.

Many Wizards craft puppets to serve as laborers or guards.

Su Nan has also considered this.

But to create a puppet, a Soul Core is essential.

The Soul Core grants the puppet basic intelligence, allowing it to perform relatively uncomplicated repetitive tasks.

Clay and Stone Puppets are less demanding, requiring only a gem as a Soul Core.

However, higher-level Metal Puppets require Soul Crystals.

According to their quality and quantity, Soul Crystals are classified into five levels: Micro, Small, Medium, Large, and Legendary.

Typically, the higher the quality of the Soul Crystal used, the more intelligent the resulting puppet.

The Soul Crystal Su Nan obtained from Kubero Manor was merely a Micro Soul Crystal, the lowest grade.

It was sufficient for crafting Steel Puppets, but higher-level puppets were beyond his reach.

However, Su Nan was already quite content with having a Steel Puppet at this stage.

“Once the Magic Energy Crystal Forging Furnace is built, I will begin making puppets.”

The second book that caught Su Nan’s interest dealt with the artificial creation of Secondary Magic Stones.

Secondary Magic Stones are artificially produced energy crystal bodies containing relatively less energy compared to real Magic Stones.

While they may not match the versatility and functionality of true Magic Stones, they can serve as substitutes in many situations, hence their name: Secondary Magic Stones.

During the Wizard’s Golden Age a thousand years ago, Secondary Magic Stones weren’t widely used.

However, with the drastic decline in energy particle density, all the Magic Stone veins on the Star Light Continent have now depleted, leaving no naturally occurring Magic Stones. The importance of Secondary Magic Stones has thus become apparent.

One could even say that Secondary Magic Stones are the only choice for Wizard Apprentices when selecting energy crystal bodies in the current era.

“This is great.”

“With Magic Cubes, I should be able to synthesize real Magic Stones!”

Su Nan’s eyes lit up.

With Magic Stones, building the Magic Energy Crystal Forging Furnace and establishing energy particle aggregation formations in the Magical Plant Garden would be much easier in the future.

Putting the organized books aside, Su Nan turned his attention to the last chest.

Inside were several seemingly ancient items.

However, upon inspection, Su Nan realized most were antiques, holding no value for him.

Only two objects, with faint traces of patterns on their surface, suggested they were once magical items.

But due to the ravages of time, these two items were now completely destroyed.

“Magical items from a thousand years ago are essentially unusable now. Obtaining the Protective Ring and Magic Coin before was lucky.”

“Looks like I have to rely on myself and create magical items.”

Su Nan cleared away the useless items, instructing the servants to dispose of them, then headed for the laboratory.

He had used a considerable number of Rune Gems during his trip.

Considering that he would be attacking Shining Light City soon, he needed to make more Rune Gems for self-defense.

The two thousand gold coins he obtained from the Starfire Sect stronghold were all exchanged for various gemstones, and he planned to use half for making Rune Gems.

Owen, the Baron, attacking Black Stone City attracted the attention of many nobles.

When Owen, after his elder brother’s death in battle, shamelessly seized the title and exiled his two nephews to Black Stone City, it caused a stir in the Golden Rock Province.

Many speculated that once Owen consolidated the Shining Light Territory and firmly established his position, he would take action to eliminate them.

As expected, this is precisely how things unfolded.

Almost immediately after winter passed, Owen, the Baron, couldn’t wait to launch his attack.

He used the fabricated excuse of Black Stone City colluding with the Starfire Sect, a lie that anyone with half a brain could see through.

Many nobles disapproved of Owen’s shameless behavior and felt sympathy for the Kei brothers.

But no one believed that Black Stone City could defeat Owen, the Baron.

After all, the disparity in their strength was clear as day.

However, the final outcome astonished everyone who followed the situation.

Owen, the Baron, was defeated!

And it was a crushing defeat!

His five thousand troops were routed, and only about half returned.

The elite cavalry regiment was wiped out.

The leading Great Knight, Martel, and three Barons died in battle!

Even calling it a heavy loss would be an understatement!

After this battle, the balance of power between Owen, the Baron, and Black Stone City completely reversed.

All of a sudden, the nobles of the Golden Rock Province had a new understanding of Black Stone City’s strength.

Su Nan’s name also officially entered the sight of many nobles.

According to the returning remnants of the army, the three Barons and Martel, the Great Knight, were all slain by Su Nan.

The latter could unleash lightning, wind blades, and summon blood-red vines, exhibiting incredible skills.

He also possessed a giant beast capable of invisibility.

It was the sudden attack of this beast that caused the army to crumble, ultimately leading to their defeat.

One could say that Shining Light City’s defeat was largely due to Su Nan.

He, single-handedly, changed the course of the war!

Upon hearing this intelligence, the nobles were all dumbfounded.

Even a Great Knight wouldn’t be capable of such a feat.

Unless a Legendary Knight intervened, there might be a chance.

At the age of barely twenty, achieving what even a Legendary Knight might not be able to accomplish, was truly a miracle!

It was from this event that the nobles of the Golden Rock Province learned that the legends about Wizards were actually true!

For a while, except for the handful of nobles at the top of the pyramid who were already aware of the Wizard’s secret, everyone else began gathering information about Wizards.

And on the fourth day after the end of the war, an even more shocking piece of news spread, causing a stir in the Golden Rock Province.

Black Stone City officially launched an attack, aiming straight for Shining Light City!
