Chapter 96 The Big Wedding
Time flies, and we enter the month of flowing fire (July).

This is the day when the sun walks on the earth.

In the Cangjin Empire, this is also the day when the annual Fire Festival is held.

And in the Principality of Stars, even though the harvest celebration is still two months away, the people have gradually become festive.

Jinyan Province was no exception, and was even shrouded in a cheerful and lively atmosphere earlier than other provinces.

It’s because the Marquis of Jinyan Province is about to get married!
As soon as this good news came out from the Lord's Mansion, it spread throughout the entire Jinyan Province like a hurricane.

Su Nan, who was devoted to study and practice, became one of the last people to know about this.

"That is to say, Big Brother's wedding is scheduled for the day of the Harvest Festival."

In the conference room, Su Nan, who had just learned the news, looked surprised.

"That's right." Key was very happy. "How do you feel about having fun with the people?"

".fine."

It sounds awkward to hear the words "sharing happiness with the people" coming from a nobleman.

"Who is the bride?"

"The youngest daughter of the Marquis of the White Tower."

Marriage?
It seems that Key is also gradually expanding his network of relationships.

"I will be there on time on the wedding day," said Sunan.

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Key with a smile.

"Don't worry, I have something else I want to talk to you about."

Su Nan had no choice but to sit down again: "What's the matter?"

"You are twenty years old this year. Is it time to consider starting a family?"

Su Nan was stunned for a long time, then he shook his head with a smile.

For a wizard apprentice who aspires to become a wizard, getting married seems like a very distant thing.

"I don't have any plans to do so for now."

"Would you like to reconsider? Many nobles have come to me and want to marry their daughters and nieces to you, and there are many beauties among them."

"No thanks." Sunan refused without hesitation.

Compared to a wizard apprentice, the life span of an ordinary person is far too short.

Even a legendary knight can only live half as long as a third-level wizard apprentice.

If he married an ordinary woman, the final outcome would probably be to watch her die of old age.

It was not a good thing for either him or the woman who became his wife.

Besides, he has no intention of starting a family now.

Cultivation, study and farming took up almost all of his energy, leaving him with no extra thoughts for other aspects.

"By the way, I have already chosen the location for the new magic plantation. I will leave the construction to you."

Su Nan waved his hand and walked out of the hall without looking back.

Watching him leave, Key shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that the responsibility of expanding the family can only be undertaken by me."

The construction of a single magic plantation is much simpler than that of a base.

By the month of Scrolls (August), the foundation construction of the Magic Garden had been completed.

Sunan named it Magic Plant Garden No. 2.

As for the one in the base, it is naturally called Magic Plant Garden No. 1.

In addition to dragon blood fruit and silver moon flower in Magic Plant Garden No. 2, Sunan also specially set aside one-third of the area to plant magic plants such as Datura grass, golden thorn grass, and tranquilizing flower.

These are the materials commonly used in making low-level potions.

Standing at the entrance of the Magic Plant Garden, looking at the flower fields competing with each other in beauty and smelling the sweet floral fragrance in the air, Su Nan showed a satisfied smile on his face.

When the silver moon flowers here mature, he can synthesize a third-grade intermediate-quality transcendental potion.

Then the efficiency of meditation can be further improved.

As for the third-grade superior transcendental potion, there are restrictions on taking it, with the mental strength having to reach 34 points and the physical fitness having to reach 25 points.

He probably wouldn't be able to take it before he built the eleventh star ring.

There is also dragon blood fruit, which can also be used to strengthen the physical fitness and reach the level of junior knight sooner.

"Sunan!"

At this time, a warm female voice came from the sea of ​​flowers, and more than a dozen stunning little beauties, only one foot tall, flapped their colorful wings and flew out from the flowers.

These little people are only about 30 centimeters tall, wearing exquisite long skirts of various colors, with bows on their chests and colorful wings on their backs. They are slender and graceful, with long boots on their small and white legs, which makes them look very beautiful.

"I want to drink rose water."

"I want honey. Yesterday's honey was so delicious."

"Hurry up."

Seven or eight little figures were dancing around Su Nan, their sweet laughter ringing in the ears.

The leader was wearing a wreath on his head.

Her beauty stands out even among a group of pretty little people.

These little people are alien creatures that Sunan recently summoned.

It is a fairy-like creature called a flower fairy.

Like flower elves, they have little fighting power, but are very good at taking care of magic plants - in fact, most fairy-like creatures are very good at taking care of magic plants.

Some fairy-like creatures that possess spell-like abilities similar to plant auras are the magical plant managers that many wizards (apprentices) dream of.

It is worth mentioning that flower fairies do not like to play tricks on people like flower spirits.

On the contrary, they are very close to people they like.

The one wearing the crown is the Queen of Flower Fairies, named Tia.

In fact, the person Sunan summoned at the beginning was Tia. After tasting the flower dew and honey synthesized by Sunan, the flower fairy queen immediately agreed to Sunan's recruitment and managed the magic garden for him.

And later he actively summoned more flower fairies.

As a reward for guarding the magic garden, Sunan only needs to provide them with enough floral dew and honey every month. He can be said to be a cheap and useful helper.

"Tia, how are you today?"

Sunan took out the flower dew and honey and gave them to the flower fairies, then stretched out his hand and let Tia fall into his palm.

"Everything is fine." Tia smiled sweetly, "It's just that the mandrakes are a bit noisy, they keep screaming, I just gave them a good beating and that's it."

"Oh, yeah, two apprentices came over this morning, and I played hide-and-seek with them. Hehe, they couldn't find me."

Nature has endowed flower fairies with magical self-preservation abilities. As long as they hide in the sea of ​​flowers, even official wizards will find it difficult to discover them.

Diya chattered to Sunan about what happened today, and from time to time she let out a series of clear laughter like silver bells.

Sunan listened patiently and interjected from time to time.

If nothing unexpected happens, the main manager of the Magic Garden to be opened in the future will be the Flower Fairy.

The Flower Fairy Queen has the ability to summon her tribesmen. In the future, whenever there is a need, she can ask Tia to summon new tribesmen.

From now on, Sunan no longer needs to worry about the shortage of manpower in the Magic Plantation.

However, most things can be handled by the flower fairy, and some work still needs to be done by apprentices.

The third round of qualification testing held by Jinyan Province ended as early as last month.

Compared with the first and second rounds, the third round is larger in scale.

As a result, as many as eighteen boys and girls finally passed the qualification test.

Now, there are thirty-three students in the entire base.

Nearly half have already started learning the Star Ring Meditation method.

People like Sherman, Corey and Atil have already constructed a second star ring and successfully mastered three to four zero-ring spells.

In addition, Sherman and Atil have successfully produced a zero-level potion.

To describe it with data, both of them's [Potion Making] skills have reached Level 1.

Corey has already mastered the skill of [Puppet Refining].

Thanks to this, Sunan no longer has to waste his energy on making low-level potions and refining Black Rock Leopard.

Both tasks were handed over to the three students. Xie Man and the other two basically only took on tasks such as making potions and refining puppets.

Tasks such as caring for magic plants, cleaning laboratories and maintaining golems are left to other newcomers.

"Once more people learn how to make potions, we can expand the scale of potion sales."

The profitable business must continue and its scale must be gradually expanded.

After all, as Southern Jiangsu's strength increases, there are more and more places where money needs to be spent.

Not to mention anything else, just the research on alternatives to the core materials of magic patterns during this period of time has cost more than three thousand gold coins.

Fortunately, the money was not wasted, and three substitutes were eventually successfully synthesized.

Now we only need twenty-one rare metals to make the materials for refining the magic pattern core.

The forest is especially quiet late at night.

A group of men in leather armor walked through the mountains and forests under the dim starlight.

The sound of insects vibrating their wings came to my ears, like an interweaving nocturne.

The group walked in silence, the rustling sound of footsteps passing through one bush after another. The cold air and dead silence in the middle of the night made people's nerves tense.

After walking for a while, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer and whispered to the person leading the way, "Fredrey, how far is it?"

"It's almost there." Fredrei said without turning his head.

"You said that half an hour ago. How far do you have to go?" The person who spoke was anxious. "You are not lying to us, are you?"

Freder looked back at him and said coldly: "If you don't believe me, you can turn around and leave now."

"you"

"Okay, stop arguing!" An older man interrupted the two of them, "Be careful not to make too much noise and attract wild animals. There are often black wolves here at night."

The big man had a lot of prestige among these people. As soon as he opened his mouth, the people who had just complained immediately shut up.

Freder glanced at the big man and whispered, "I have seen the mark left before. If we go another seven or eight hundred meters, we will reach the cave I found."

After hearing this, everyone became excited and quickly quickened their pace.

Not long after, the view suddenly opened up and an open space appeared in the field of vision, with a steep mountain wall at the end.

At the bottom of the mountain wall is a dark cave entrance.

In the dark night, the entrance of the cave looked like a bloody mouth ready to devour someone, waiting for uninvited guests to break in, which looked a bit creepy.

However, the crowd was not afraid at all. Instead, they looked at the cave entrance with particularly fiery eyes and excitement on their faces.

"Fredrey, did you find those silver ingots in this cave?" the big man asked in a deep voice.

Frederi nodded heavily: "Yes, I saw with my own eyes that there is a silver vein deep in the cave."

Everyone looked more and more excited.

A silver vein, even if it is just a super small shallow silver vein, the silver ingots dug out are enough to make them rich overnight.

If the reserves were larger, perhaps they would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.

"walk into!"

The big man suppressed his excitement and led everyone into the cave.

People in front and behind the team consciously lit torches, and the bright light illuminated the scene in the cave.

The big man observed the wall of the cave and frowned in confusion.

This cave is full of traces of artificial excavation, and the traces are quite new. Combined with the silver veins inside, it should be a mine that was excavated not long ago.

But if that's the case, why is there no one here?

Moreover, he had asked around in the city and found out that no one had ever mined in this forest.

The big man felt inexplicably uneasy and began to consider whether he should retreat and come back after finding out more clearly.

At this moment, a low cry suddenly came from my ear.

"It's a silver vein!"

The big man looked up subconsciously, and saw a dull silver-gray color on the cave wall.

His heart suddenly started beating rapidly.

The desire for silver ingots instantly overwhelmed the uneasiness deep in my heart.

Without further hesitation, the big man immediately took off the iron pickaxe from his waist and said excitedly:

"Mining!"

Everyone had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and they couldn't wait to take action after hearing it.

"Haha, I'm rich!"

"After this job, I can rest for several years!"

"This cave seems to be quite deep. There may be other mineral veins further inside."

"That's right, we'll go check it out later."

A group of people were discussing excitedly.

At this moment, some strange noises suddenly came from deep in the cave.

Although he was excited, the big man's rich adventure experience made him notice something was wrong at the first time.

"Quiet!"

"There seems to be something in the cave, everyone be on guard!"

Everyone immediately put down their pickaxes, drew their weapons, and stared warily at the darkness deep in the cave.

"Squeak!"

As they looked on in horror, a group of rats as big as cats rushed out from the darkness.

"what is this?"

"mouse?"

"How can there be such a big rat? Damn it! These monsters are so fast. I got bitten!"

The rats that suddenly appeared had slightly red eyes, like mad beasts, attacking everyone crazily with their sharp fangs and claws.

What's more terrifying is that they move extremely quickly and there are so many of them.

In the limited space of the cave, it was difficult for everyone to dodge and they were soon injured.

"Calm down, back to back defense!"

The big man shouted loudly as he swung his sword and split a giant rat in half.

The next second, a dull whistling sound suddenly sounded from behind.

Before the big man could turn around, he was knocked to the ground by a huge figure rushing from behind.

"Captain!" someone exclaimed.

With the help of the flickering firelight, everyone quickly saw that the person who knocked the man down was a fat and burly monster.

It has a toad-like head, dark red skin, no eyes, and extremely thick limbs.

"Grrrrrr!"

The toad monster opened its bloody mouth and bit off the big man's head. After chewing it for a few times, it swallowed it into its stomach, then pounced on other people.

"what!!"

The big man's death threw the team into complete panic.

Everyone lost their will to fight and rushed towards the cave entrance.

Unfortunately, he didn't run far before he was knocked down one after another by the toad monsters and rats that chased him from behind.

Fredrey, who was running the fastest, arrived at the cave entrance first.

Seeing that he was about to escape, he couldn't help but reveal an ecstatic expression on his face.

But the next moment, a sticky tongue suddenly shot out from behind, wrapped around his waist, and pulled him back forcefully.

"what!!"

The short scream stopped abruptly, followed by a hair-raising chewing sound.

"Crench!"

Not long after, the sound disappeared and the dark cave returned to its deathly silence.
