Everyone fell silent.

Finally, Blacklin coughed lightly and said, “I happen to have a design diagram for a special type of puppet, but it’s not a flying type. Do you want it?”

“Can I take a look?”

“Of course.”

Taking the design diagram from Blacklin, Su Nan opened it and was immediately stunned.

The top of the design diagram listed the name of the puppet: Gem Magic Puppet!

This strange name piqued his interest.

He continued to read, his expression gradually becoming strange.

The naming of different magic puppets is usually based on the main material they are composed of.

For example, there are Steel Magic Puppets made mainly of steel and Stone Magic Puppets made mainly of rock.

Wizard civilization has existed for so long, wizards have researched and created many different materials for refining Magic Puppets, including some very strange materials, such as flesh and bone, and even magical ropes and shutters.

The materials are diverse and unusual.

But this was the first time Su Nan had heard of using gems as a material.

It’s not that gems are unsuitable as materials, the main reason is – expensive!

For wizards, no matter what they make, the first thing they need to consider is cost-effectiveness.

Whether it’s magical items, puppets, or potions, no matter how significant the effects or power, if the cost far exceeds the value it should have, then that item is a failure.

Because of this, no one has ever considered using gems to refine Magic Puppets.

But the author of this design diagram dared to do what others wouldn’t.

His idea is to use diamonds as the main body, supplemented with various gems to construct the magic puppet’s body, then engrave a certain number of Second-Ring Spells, referencing the techniques of the “Gem Magic” school, using gems to amplify the power of the spells, ultimately refining a Gem Magic Puppet capable of casting multiple spells.

It has to be admitted, this concept is very creative.

A magic puppet constructed with diamonds as the main body, its body is incredibly tough, even a Mithril Magic Puppet might not be able to surpass it.

And the idea of using gems to amplify the power of spells is also very ingenious.

With the amplification of the gems, the Gem Magic Puppet’s spells would definitely be no weaker than Third-Ring Spells.

A magic puppet with an indestructible physical body that can cast spells comparable to Third-Ring Spells, its combat power is so strong that it might even surpass an ordinary Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice!

However, upon closer thought, you will find that this concept has two very obvious flaws.

The first is the difficulty of manufacturing.

To engrave Second-Ring Spells within the body of a magic puppet so that it can cast spells, this is far more difficult than permanently casting a Second-Ring Spell on a magical item.

Even with Su Nan’s Level 4 “Magic Item Creation”, he failed to permanently cast a Second-Ring Spell on his robe several times, and to engrave a Second-Ring Spell, he would probably have to fail dozens or even hundreds of times before he could succeed.

Even Su Nan has such difficulties, let alone other Wizard Apprentices.

Others don’t have the same advantages as Su Nan, they don’t have access to a large amount of resources to practice and improve their Magic Item Creation skills.

For an ordinary Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice, reaching Level 2 in “Magic Item Creation” is considered to be exceptionally talented.

Furthermore, to use gems to amplify the power of spells, the refiner must also have knowledge of “Gem Magic”.

But this knowledge has long since disappeared from the Starlight Continent with the departure of the Gem Magic school.

There is no one to learn this knowledge from now.

The second flaw, of course, is the cost issue.

To create a Gem Magic Puppet, the number of gems required would probably be measured in tons, and the final cost would likely be hundreds of millions of gold coins.

Even the wealthiest wizards couldn’t afford such a staggering expenditure.

Even if they grit their teeth and scrape together the money to refine it, but they spend so much money just to refine a magic puppet that’s slightly better than an ordinary Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice?

Only someone who is incredibly extravagant would do such a thing!

Even in the future, when the Gem Worm swarm grows and can mass produce gems, Su Nan would never waste gems on this.

In his opinion, this design diagram is almost useless.

In fact, according to the author’s own account, he only stayed at the concept stage and hasn’t actually refined a finished product yet.

After reading the design diagram, Su Nan pondered for a while and looked at Blacklin with a playful tone, “What are you planning to trade for this design diagram?”

“Three magic stones, how about that?”

Blacklin also knew that this design diagram was unreliable, so he offered a price that was unusually cheap for a puppet design diagram.

Su Nan thought for a moment, then agreed.

While this design diagram is whimsical, it’s not completely without its merits.

Taking it back to study carefully, maybe he can use it as a basis to design a new type of puppet.

With the final transaction complete, the gathering came to an end.

Before they parted, Blacklin waved to Su Nan and smiled, “Player, if you are interested in puppets, I have another rare puppet design diagram, I’ll bring it next time I attend a gathering.”

Su Nan was slightly stunned, then nodded, “Then I’ll be waiting.”

Time flew by.

It quickly reached Summer Long Month, the scorching sun hung high in the sky, and the weather became exceptionally hot.

Base.

Xie Man had just emerged from the potion laboratory when he ran into Atir, who was coming out of the opposite room.

The two met eyes, and both smiled slightly.

“Are you here to make potions too?”

“Yeah, it took me so long, but I finally managed to make the first bottle of Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion.”

Atir shook the potion bottle in his hand, the bright red liquid inside swirled slightly.

As one of the first students to enter the base, Xie Man, Koley, and Atir had already learned to make zero-order potions.

Only Xie Man and Koley progressed faster, they had already mastered the more difficult Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion and Lower-Grade Revitalization Potion among zero-order potions.

Atir, on the other hand, was slow, and only today had he finally made a Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion.

“Potion making is not the whole of a Wizard Apprentice, don’t worry too much about it.”

Seeing Atir’s dejected appearance, Xie Man racked his brains for comforting words, but finally only squeezed out this dry sentence.

This appearance instead made Atir laugh.

“Don’t force it, I know my own business, my talent is indeed not as good as yours and Koley’s, I guess I’m destined to be a Second-Rank Wizard Apprentice for the rest of my life.”

“You and Koley, on the other hand, might even be promoted to Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice!”

Xie Man grinned and said nothing.

To be promoted to Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice, the first condition is to construct nine Star Rings.

But he had spent more than three years, and he still hasn’t constructed the third Star Ring, nine Star Rings are simply out of reach.

“I heard the newly built Knight Academy is starting to recruit students?” Atir changed the subject.

“That’s right.” Xie Man’s face lit up with a smile, “I went to see Old Roger a few days ago, and he told me that many people have gone to join the recruitment.”

If there is anything that makes Xie Man regret the most about the base, it’s that there are so few students from the same background as him.

Most of the students are either from middle-class families or are noble children.

He couldn’t even find a few friends to talk to.

It’s not that the others are bad.

Like Atir and Ethan, although they come from good families, they have never looked down on him, and they are always kind to him.

But after all, they come from different backgrounds, their worldviews differ, and it’s ultimately difficult to truly get along.

And the newly established Knight Academy, it is said that it only recruits students from commoners and farmers, and graduates will join the base to form the Knight Guard.

In this way, at least the base will not be full of middle-class and noble children.

At this moment, a burst of laughter came from afar.

Xie Man turned his head to see a group of young boys and girls walking towards them, led by Ethan, who was close to him.

The group of young boys and girls quickly noticed Xie Man and Atir, and waved to them.

“Xie Man Senior!”

“Atir Senior!”

Atir smiled and greeted them, asking, “What’s going on? You guys look so happy.”

Ethan laughed, “Nothing much, it’s just that Skinner finally mastered his first spell, we are all happy for him.”

Skinner was one of the second batch of newcomers to the base, and he was also the youngest among them, only thirteen years old, he was fair and delicate, and was well taken care of and loved by everyone.

“What spell is it?” Atir smiled and looked at Skinner.

“Master’s Hand!”

Perhaps because he was showing off in front of Atir Senior, who was the most popular, Skinner’s face flushed with excitement, and he was about to show Atir the spell, fortunately Xie Man quickly stopped him.

“Don’t be impulsive.”

Xie Man pointed at the trees in the distance.

A red-eyed raven was perched on a branch, its dark eyes staring straight at them.

Skinner finally came to his senses, startled, and hurriedly shut his mouth.

After the third batch of students entered the base, considering the increasing number of people, in order to facilitate management, the base started to implement strict regulations, rectify order, and violators would be punished with confinement and deduction of contribution points.

Among them was the regulation that casting spells outside of the Spell Training Area and laboratory was prohibited, and violators would have their contribution points deducted.

For Skinner, that was a sum that would make him feel heartbroken.

Coming to his senses, Skinner quickly thanked Xie Man.

“Don’t worry about it.” Xie Man waved his hand and smiled, “Just remember to pay attention next time.”

The atmosphere relaxed again.

After chatting for a while, Ethan and the others left, heading straight for the Spell Training Area.

They had also originally planned to go there.

“Where are you going next?” Atir asked.

“I’m going to check the task board and take on a few tasks.”

“I’m also planning to take on tasks, let’s go together.”

The two of them went to the warehouse together, greeted Miss Gilly who was sunbathing there, and then went to the task board.

To their surprise, Koley was there too.

Upon seeing Xie Man and Atir, Koley nodded slightly in greeting, then continued to scan the task board.

Xie Man walked over and saw that there were quite a few new tasks.

For example, feeding the Gem Worms in the worm nest with ore.

Collecting pure gems produced by Gem Worms.

Performing magical modification on the forelimbs of Double-Bladed Spiders.

Refining Stone Magic Puppets.

Suddenly, more than ten new tasks appeared.

“Did you know that they built a new camp in the forest to the north?” Koley suddenly said.

“We heard about it.” Atir replied.

Xie Man also nodded.

They already knew that a vein was discovered in the forest to the north of Shining Light City, and beneath the vein was a passage to the Underworld, where there was also a subterranean city-state ruled by a Human-Faced Lion.

The newly established Camp 1, it is said, was built to monitor the movements of the Human-Faced Lion city-state.

As for the source of these news, it was naturally Miss Amy.

Miss Amy often brought them some new and strange stories, and occasionally they could even hear their teacher’s adventure stories, which were a rare bit of fun in their monotonous training life.

“Miss Amy told me that Teacher is preparing to launch a war against the Human-Faced Lion city-state.”

Xie Man and Atir were surprised.

But thinking about it, this seems to be foreshadowed.

For example, all the gems collected from the Gem Worm nests were sent to Camp 1, presumably for refining Stone Magic Puppets.

The new task of refining Stone Magic Puppets on the task board is clearly because of this.

“I plan to ask Teacher to let me participate in the war.” Koley said something surprising.

“Participate in the war?”

Atir and Xie Man looked at each other, both quite surprised.

“Isn’t that too risky?”

“Yeah, that level of war, it’s not something we can participate in.”

The soldiers participating in the war were either Human-Faced Lions with nearly Knight-level strength at the weakest, or Knight-level Stone Magic Puppets and Double-Bladed Spiders.

There were even Great Knights and Legendary Knight-level fighting forces!

A First-Rank Wizard Apprentice participating in this level of war, if they’re not careful, they could die.

“Meow, you guys are still too early to participate in the war.”

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, Atir felt a slight weight on her shoulder, she turned her head and saw Amy’s white feline body.

“Miss Amy!”

Amy licked her paw, lazily saying:

“First-Rank Wizard Apprentices are only barely able to deal with one or two Knights, participating in your human war is barely acceptable, going to fight the Human-Faced Lions is suicide.”

“It’s not until you become Second-Rank Wizard Apprentices that you’re fit for it.”

Koley frowned, “Miss Amy, I just hope Teacher can allow me to take this opportunity to gain more contribution points, speed up my improvement, and combat might help me break through my bottleneck.”

“It sounds like something a Dark Wizard would do?”

Amy tilted her head, waved her paw and said crisply:

“Whatever, I can talk to Su Nan for you, but don’t get your hopes up too high.”

Koley’s face flashed with a hint of joy, “Thank you, Miss Amy!”

“What about you two?” Amy looked at the other two.

Atir shook her head.

The few spells she has mastered are all auxiliary ones, not a single offensive one, going to the battlefield is no different from going to die.

Xie Man also shook his head.

He’s not like Koley, who’s obsessed with improving his strength.

He enjoys his current state, he can learn new knowledge every day, and he can feel his progress every day.

This gradual process of unveiling and understanding the world makes him very immersed.

He prefers to proceed steadily, step by step, rather than rush headlong.
