Synthesis Wizard

The Black Stone City in the Autumn Curtain Moon (October) had already taken on a touch of bleakness.

Though the first snow was still a while away, the air temperature had already dropped considerably, no longer retaining the heat of the Harvest Moon.

Four men clad in armor walked along the road in the inner castle courtyard, their exhaled breaths forming wisps of white mist in the air.

The three younger men trailing behind, their faces flushed with an excitement and anticipation that was hard to conceal, as if something good was about to happen.

After walking for a while, one of them finally couldn’t help but ask the leading Joron, “Joron, are there any precautions we need to take when consuming that Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion?”

Joron glanced back at the young man who had spoken, his face beaming. He waved his hand dismissively, saying, “Look at how nervous you are. Nearly a hundred people have already consumed the Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion before you. No one has had any problems. Just relax.”

The young man scratched his head sheepishly, saying with a forced smile, “I’m not worried, I’m just excited. After all, after drinking that potion, I can become a Knight!”

The other two nodded in agreement, their faces filled with excitement.

After all, it was a Knight!

They had been training hard for many years, hoping to become Knights in their lifetime, to bring glory to their families. But they never imagined that their dream would be realized so soon.

They still felt a sense of unreality even now.

“Haha, I understand your feelings. A year ago, I never imagined that there would be a potion in this world that could allow a Probationary Knight to directly break through to become a Knight. All this is thanks to Lord Sunan!”

Speaking of Sunan, a respectful tone filled Joron’s voice.

The three young men also instinctively showed expressions of awe and admiration.

Although the news about Lord Sunan in Black Stone City was strictly sealed, all the Knights and Probationary Knights who had consumed or were about to consume the Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion knew that Lord Sunan had played a huge role in the development of Black Stone City.

Even the establishment of the Blackrock Cavalry could be said to have been orchestrated by Lord Sunan.

In the hearts of the Black Stone City Knights and Probationary Knights, Lord Sunan’s status was no less than that of the Lord.

“Anyway, you don’t have to be too nervous. Once you meet the Lord, get the potion, drink it, and you will…”

Before Joron could finish his reassuring words, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if something had brushed past him from behind in an instant, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

He stopped in his tracks instinctively and looked around, but found nothing unusual.

“Did you see anything?” Joron turned and asked the three.

The three shook their heads, bewildered.

“Damn it, maybe I drank too much wine last night and my head is still not clear?”

Joron patted his head, muttered a few words, and quickly forgot about the incident, continuing to lead the way.

Soon, the four arrived at the training ground.

From a distance, Joron saw the Lord and Brad standing at the entrance to the training ground, seemingly discussing something.

Not far from them were three large wooden barrels.

As they approached, Joron saw that the barrels were filled with a light red liquid.

He could also smell a familiar pungent odor.

The smell of the Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion!

“Are these all Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potions?”

Joron was startled, but quickly realized that the scent in the air was faint, not like the real potion, but rather a diluted liquid.

“Move the barrels to the barracks. All warriors who have reached the level of Knight Attendant will drink one bowl a day. Officers will receive an extra bowl each day.”

Seeing Joron and his companions arrive, Kei gave Brad an instruction, then waved his hand for him to retreat. He then looked at Joron and his companions, his gaze focused on the three young men.

“My Lord!”

The three bowed in unison.

Kei nodded solemnly, his gaze fixed on Joron.

“Only three this time?”

Joron nodded and replied, “The rest are Probationary Knights who have just broken through recently. Lord Sunan said it’s best to wait a while longer for them to solidify their strength before taking the potion.”

Hearing that it was Sunan’s instruction, Kei said no more. He took out three bottles of Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion.

The rest was simple. The three young men took the potion on the spot.

Two of them immediately broke through to become Knights, while the remaining one, though he did not break through, would be able to complete his advancement after a few days of training, based on past experience.

After encouraging the three new (prospective) Knights with a few words, Kei signaled Joron to take them away, then left the training ground and headed for the main building.

Since the extermination of the Black Scale Lizardmen, Black Stone City had entered a period of rapid development.

The number of Knights had skyrocketed.

Black Stone City now had over a hundred Knights.

In the entire Starry Constellation Duchy, only noble territories with a Viscount or higher, after hundreds of years of development and inheritance, could accumulate so many Knights!

Black Stone City, with a single city, had the number of Knights comparable to that of a Viscount territory. If this news were to spread, many people would be shocked.

“Unfortunately, all the blood obtained from exterminating the Black Scale Lizardmen has been used up. Now we can only extract blood slowly from the captives. Sunan’s potion production speed will also slow down considerably.”

“But it’s also a good thing. The Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion was used a bit too much recently, causing a gap in the Probationary Knights in the army. This is a good time to cultivate more Probationary Knights.”

Kei thought of the Dragon Blood Potion that Sunan had recently researched.

The effect of that potion far surpassed the Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion. Just four bottles had allowed him to cross the threshold that countless Knights had dreamed of, reaching the level of Great Knight. It was simply incredible!

The only pity was that the production was extremely low.

So far, only he and a few senior Knights like Brad had consumed it, thus advancing to Peak Knight.

“It’s a pity that Black Stone City is currently in dire need of time. If you give me a few years to develop, reclaiming Shining Light Territory will be easy.”

As he was pondering, Kei suddenly saw the old butler, Galler, leading six or seven servants passing by. They were carrying several sheep that had been plucked of their wool.

Galler quickly noticed Kei and stopped to salute.

“My Lord.”

Kei hummed in response and pointed at the sheep, asking, “Where are you taking these?”

Galler said, “To Lord Sunan’s courtyard.”

Kei quickly remembered that Sunan’s courtyard seemed to be keeping a giant lizard captured from the Black Scale Lizardmen tribe, and it ate a lot of meat every day.

But…

He glanced at the three sheep, a little confused.

Was the giant lizard’s appetite growing?

He had just heard Joron say that it only ate one sheep a day?

Curious, but Kei didn’t ask any further, just waved his hand for Galler and his companions to leave.

Anything related to Wizards was shrouded in mystery and strangeness, and it was difficult for outsiders to understand.

He wasn’t interested in delving into it, as long as he continued to support Sunan.

After all, Sunan’s strength was Black Stone City’s strength!
