Synthesis Wizard.

Chapter 86 Intruder

The base was quiet.

Artil walked lightly on the cobblestone path, the corners of his lips unable to suppress their upward movement.

Just now, she finally succeeded in performing the repair technique.

This is also the second zero-ring spell she has mastered.

"After I finish the task of caring for the magic plants, I will have enough contribution points to redeem another zero-ring spell model book."

"What's the third spell I should learn?"

While thinking, Artil walked towards the magic garden.

Before she reached the door, she heard cheerful and relaxed singing coming from inside, occasionally accompanied by laughter as sweet as silver bells.

Artil couldn't help but be infected by the joy in the laughter, and the smile on his face deepened.

As you enter the Magic Plant Garden, you'll see a group of little people sitting on the flowers and singing happily.

Each of them is less than ten centimeters tall, wearing clothes woven from leaves, having petal-like wings, and their skin color is similar to the colors of various flowers, ranging from gray to bright red or yellow. They have no hair on their heads, but instead various petals.

Looks like a fairy tale goblin.

In fact, these little people are also ultra-small elves.

They are flower spirits.

It is a strange creature summoned by Lord Sunan from another world.

Very good at taking care of plants and can promote the growth of magic plants.

The only bad thing about them is that they are a little naughty. She, Sheman and Corey were often teased by these little guys when they were working in the Magic Plant Garden.

But Arthur still likes these little guys very much.

After all, they are really cute.

Seeing Arthur, the flower fairies immediately flew over with joy.

Artil played with the flower elves for a while with a smile before saying goodbye to them and walking inside.

On the way, she met a humanoid creature who looked like a female elf, but whose skin was like tree bark and whose hair was like leaves.

"Good morning, Lady Madeline."

Artil quickly stopped and greeted him.

The person in front of you was also summoned by Lord Sunan from another world. It is said that he is the son of the forest and is responsible for guarding the magic garden.

Madeline nodded slightly to Artil and continued her patrol.

Atil didn't care, she knew that Lady Madeleine was a bit taciturn.

During the two years at the base, Atil had become accustomed to discovering new alien creatures in the base every once in a while.

When he arrived at the silver moon flower planting area, Atil saw Sherman watering the plants.

"Sheman." the girl called out.

Sheman turned around and saw that it was Arthur. A smile appeared on his face. He quickly put down the kettle and ran over.

"Artil, why are you here?"

Atil rolled his eyes at him helplessly and said, "Are you so busy that you are dizzy? Have you forgotten what the teacher told us?"

Sherman slapped his forehead, quickly recalled it, and smiled awkwardly.

"I remember now. It was today, right?"

The massive wizard qualification test ended five days ago.

Unlike their time, the base is now complete and newcomers who pass the test no longer need to study in the lord's mansion and can move directly into the base.

It’s just that the teacher was too busy to spare the time, so he asked the three of them to help the newcomers familiarize themselves with the base and explain some precautions.

Xie Man had been so busy with his mission these days that he almost forgot about it for a moment.

"Where's Corey?"

"He has passed the base gate."

"Then let's go quickly too."

The two walked out of the Magic Plant Garden side by side and talked about the test on the way.

“I wonder how many people will pass the test this time?”

"It's definitely more than what we had last time."

"makes sense."

Compared to two years ago, the territory of Shining Territory has expanded more than four or five times, and the population has also increased dramatically.

As the population base increases, the number of qualified children of school age will naturally increase.

Moreover, since this is the first test, the number of participants must be extremely large.

This year the base may have more than ten more apprentices.

Thinking that he would soon become a senior, Xie Man felt inexplicably excited.

The current base is too deserted. He wishes there were more people to make it more lively, so that more people can communicate and learn from each other in the future.

He was not worried that having too many apprentices would dilute the resources.

According to Ms. Gurley, the resources in the warehouse are more than enough to support dozens of apprentices.

"I heard that you started making potions recently? How does it feel?" Atil asked suddenly.

Xie Man scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "It feels so difficult. I failed ten times in making the brute force potion. All the materials I saved up with great difficulty this month were wasted."

In order to reduce the difficulty, Sherman deliberately chose the Brute Strength Potion, which was relatively suitable for novices, rather than the more difficult Secondary Active Potion or Secondary Dragon Blood Potion. However, the result of the first attempt was still very bad.

"It's okay. The teacher said it will be difficult at the beginning, but it will be much easier once you get the hang of it," Arthur comforted.

Xie Man nodded, but sighed inwardly.

It's not that easy.

Unlike Corey and Arthur, he did not come from a wealthy family. Even without using contribution points, he could still get money from his family to buy materials.

He gave all the gold coins he had to Old Roger, and the materials he used on a daily basis were exchanged for contribution points.

This time he failed to make the potion, and the wasted materials made him so heartbroken that he felt like bleeding.

"By the way, what has Corey been doing lately?" Sherman asked.

He hadn't seen Corey for a long time.

Although the three of them all lived in the base, they didn't have much time to meet each other because they were busy meditating and studying.

Atil said: "Corey has been learning to refine the Black Rock Leopard recently, but the progress doesn't seem to be going smoothly."

"It is indeed difficult to refine puppets." Xie Man nodded in agreement.

He also tried to refine the Black Rock Leopard, but unfortunately he failed every time.

His talent with puppets is not as good as his talent with potion making.

Thinking of refining puppets, Xie Man felt a little emotional.

The Black Rock Leopard is a knight-level puppet.

Two years ago, the knight was a great man to him. He would never have imagined that one day he would be able to refine a puppet that was comparable to the knight.

The changes that have taken place in me in the past two years are really huge.

And all of this was given by the teacher.

Thinking of his teacher, Xie Man couldn't help but feel secretly grateful.

While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the gate of the base and saw Corey waiting there from a distance.

Compared to two years ago, the fifteen-year-old Corey has grown a lot taller, with a slender figure and handsome looks. He is the type of nobleman that girls like very much.

As if he had noticed someone coming, Corey turned around and looked over. His eyes lit up slightly when he swept over Arthur, but quickly returned to his expressionless state when he saw Sherman.

Sherman couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.

This guy Corey really regarded him as a competitor.

Since he fell behind him in the introduction to the Star Ring Meditation Method and in building the first Star Ring, Cole's self-esteem seemed to be stimulated. He practiced harder and harder, as if he was determined to surpass him. Although Sheman didn't like to compete with others, he had to admit that Cole's actions brought him a lot of pressure, which made him work harder and his progress in meditation and learning was rapid.

The teacher praised him and Corey not long ago.

Maybe that's the benefit of having a competitor.

The three of them were standing at the gate and just chatting for a few words when a group of people appeared in the distance.

Twelve young boys and girls rode on Black Rock Leopards and were escorted by a team of Black Rock Cavalry towards the base.

The team was still led by Lord Braid.

"I heard that Lord Brad has been promoted to Grand Knight. He is the second Grand Knight in the Flashing Territory besides the Lord." Atil said in a low voice.

"With the dragon blood fruit, there will be more and more great knights in the territory in the future."

Xie Man responded in a low voice, but his eyes were studying the twelve boys and girls.

Judging from their clothes, these people include both children from aristocratic families and children from middle-class families.

But there was no child like him who came from a poor or peasant family.

Literacy is ultimately a huge limitation, blocking the path for poor farmers to become wizard apprentices.

Sherman actually had the idea of ​​changing this, but universal education involves all aspects, and it would be difficult to do even if the lord wanted to change it, let alone him.

"Good morning, your Excellencies."

When he got closer, Brad jumped off the Black Rock Panther and saluted Sherman and the other two.

Although he was old enough to be the father of three people, and was also a great knight and lord, he still maintained enough respect for Sunan's three students.

"Lord Braid, long time no see."

Xie Man and the other two quickly returned the greeting.

"Now that I have delivered the person, my mission is complete. I will trouble you three from now on."

Brad left the people behind and then left in a hurry with his soldiers.

After watching Brad go away, Sherman and the other two looked at the twelve newcomers.

"Hello, senior."

The twelve newlyweds hurriedly bowed and greeted each other, with visible nervousness and restraint in their movements and expressions.

After two years of meditation and study, Sherman, Corey and Arthur all have a mysterious and profound temperament. In the eyes of ordinary people, they seem inexplicably unfathomable.

Even Xie Man, who came from a poor family, has now been transformed, and his every move exudes efficiency and decisiveness.

Anyone who sees him for the first time would never imagine that he was an inferior and timid child two years ago.

Standing in front of these three people, even the young boys and girls from noble families felt an inexplicable pressure.

"Don't be nervous, we are classmates from today on." Atil said gently.

The friendly and gentle smile made the newlyweds feel a little relaxed.

"Let's go, it's getting late." Corey said calmly, "Hurry up and finish the work. I have to go back to refine the puppet."

The somewhat impatient tone made the atmosphere, which had finally relaxed, become tense again.

Artil glared at Corey and led the newcomers into the base.

"The base is very large and divided into many areas, but they are all easy to identify."

"You can enter and exit most areas freely, but places like the prison area and the energy center room are forbidden for apprentices to enter. Magic alarms have also been set up. You must be careful not to touch them."

"Ah, those are clay golems, which are responsible for doing odd jobs. In addition, there are stone golems, which are mainly responsible for guarding and patrolling the base."

"In addition to us apprentices, there are also Ms. Greely who is in charge of guarding the warehouse, Ms. Madeline who is in charge of guarding the magic plant garden, and the flower spirits who cultivate the magic plants. They are all helpers summoned by the teacher from another world."

Along the way, Artil enthusiastically introduced the base to the newcomers and explained some precautions.

Sherman would occasionally interject and add a word or two.

Corey looked indifferent and said nothing the whole time.

Fortunately, the newlyweds didn’t care. They all looked at the scenery along the way with shining eyes, and felt that everything was extremely new and novel.

Looking at the appearance of the newcomers, Xie Man couldn't help but feel deeply moved, as if he saw himself two years ago.

His performance when he first visited the base was probably similar to that of the newcomers now.

"And Yinlong and Lady Amy."

"Hidden Dragon is the teacher's pet, a powerful dragon lizard that can turn invisible."

"Lord Amy is a friend of the teacher, and his origins are very mysterious, but he is not in the base today, otherwise he would probably come to see you."

After visiting most areas, Artil brought his men to the warehouse.

Glee was sitting in front of the warehouse door playing the violin. The melodious sound of the violin made people feel peaceful and calm.

Atil motioned for the newlyweds to stop and waited patiently for Glee to finish a song and put down her violin before walking forward and saying, "Ms. Glee, I've brought the newlyweds over."

“There are quite a lot of newcomers this year.”

Greely looked at the newcomers with a smile and pointed at the books on the table nearby.

"This is what Lord Sunan asked me to give to the newcomers, including the Star Ring Meditation Method and some basic books. You can take them."

Artil thanked them and took the things to distribute to the newcomers.

"By the way, there's a guy who's not easy to get along with recently in the detention area. Lord Sunan asked me to tell you to try to stay away from the detention area as much as possible in the future." Gree reminded again.

A difficult guy?
Sherman, Artil and Corey looked at each other.

Obviously, this difficult guy mentioned by Gree is a helper summoned by the teacher from another world.

I just don't know what's the situation with the other person that would make the kind-hearted Glee say that it's difficult to get along with him.

Although they were curious, the three of them always obeyed their teacher's words, so they immediately agreed when they heard it.

After leaving the warehouse, the group headed to the residential area to let the newlyweds choose their rooms.

Oh oh oh!
At this moment, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

Sherman, Atil and Corey's expressions all changed.

"Someone has triggered the magic alarm!"

"It's coming from the direction of the gate, let's go and take a look!"

"You stay here and don't move around casually."

After instructing the newcomer, Sherman and the other two hurried towards the main gate of the base.

From a distance they saw a group of stone golems surrounding the gate of the base.

As they approached, they discovered that the stone golems had surrounded the intruders.

Unexpectedly, there was only one person on the other side.

The man was wrapped in a tightly wrapped robe, revealing only a pale face with stiff features. He looked to be about thirty years old and exuded a gloomy aura.

Looking at that face, Sherman and the other two suddenly got goose bumps on their bodies for some reason, and felt a chill down their spines.

The man glanced at Sherman and the other two.

"Three young first-level wizard apprentices."

"Interesting, there aren't many people who would take in students these days."

The man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like sandblasted wood.

However, what surprised Sherman and the other two even more was that the voice came from under the man's robe, and his mouth did not move from beginning to end.

A breeze blew by.

Xie Man and the other two sensed something and turned around to find that Su Nan had come to their side without them knowing when.

"teacher!"

The three young apprentices saluted quickly.

Sunan waved his hand and said, "You guys go back, leave this to me."
