Chapter 373 - 225: Secondary Magic Stone Vein (Part 2)

But she didn’t care either.

Carolina and the Red Widow, no matter how many little tricks they had, did not dare to openly harm the interests of the Star Alliance.

This was not because they had a broader view, but because the Soul Contract restricted them from doing so.

Therefore, she didn’t need to play mind games with those two at all; she just needed to focus on managing the Star Alliance well, smoothly implementing each development plan. As the Star Alliance grew, the power would gradually be grasped in her hands, surpassing those two women bit by bit.

This was an open strategy.

By now, Carolina and the Red Widow had been completely suppressed by her.

Perhaps having resigned to their fate, the two women clearly had fewer small actions recently.

Seeing Lize’s calm expression, Sunan didn’t think much of it and said with a smile, "If you can’t handle everything, you can find some assistants."

"Assistants?"

"Aren’t there members of the Russell Clan in Starlight Academy?"

Lize paused for a moment, shook her head, and said, "Forget it, I don’t want the Russell Clan to know I’m still alive."

She didn’t leave any descendants back then, and after a thousand years of inheritance, the current Russell Clan was already extremely distantly related to her by blood, and she had long lost affection for the Russell Clan.

Furthermore, although Sunan trusted her and gave her authority, he clearly would not allow her to form a faction within the Star Alliance.

She indeed had no such intention, but if the Russell Clan knew she was still alive and in charge of the entire Star Alliance on behalf of Sunan, could they resist using this relationship for their own gain?

At that time, even if she didn’t want it, the Russell Clan would surround her, using her influence to form a faction within the alliance.

Don’t be fooled by how easygoing Sunan seems; once such a situation occurs, he definitely wouldn’t be lenient.

Perhaps in the future, when the Star Alliance becomes a behemoth, factions would inevitably emerge internally, but no rational ruler would allow this to happen in the early stages of a force’s development.

This is the main reason why Lize did not want to get involved with the Russell Clan.

"You can also choose someone else," Sunan said. "There are quite a few decent Level 3 Wizard Apprentices in the academy."

Following Sherman and Cole, more students had successively broken through to become Level 3 Wizard Apprentices in Starlight Academy.

Like Attila and Ethan.

Currently, there were a total of twenty-three Level 3 Wizard Apprentices in the academy.

As for Level 2 Wizard Apprentices, there were more than a thousand.

Lize seemed somewhat tempted, thought for a while, and said, "I’ll consider it carefully."

The affairs of the Star Alliance were increasing recently, and if she could find suitable candidates, she indeed wanted an assistant to help share the burden, as she certainly couldn’t rely on those two aliens, could she?

Seeing this, Sunan did not insist, chatted a bit more, and then left the study.

He had to verify his ideas next.

Returning to the lab, Sunan immediately allocated a batch of Secondary Magic Stones from the warehouse, then began the synthesis.

"Since the Magic Stone Mother is a crystallization of Magic Stone Essence, theoretically it should also be synthesized using Magic Stones."

"Similar to elemental crystal dust and elemental crystal cores."

Soon, a large heap of higher-level Magic Stones appeared on the workbench in front of him.

Sunan then continued the synthesis.

As each Magic Stone was placed into the magic cube, the number of energy units for Magic Stones on the synthesis interface kept increasing.

When the two-hundred-and-third Magic Stone was placed, the words "Magic Stone" on the synthesis interface suddenly flashed and became "Lower Level Magic Crystal."

"Not Magic Stone Mother?"

Sunan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and continued to place Magic Stones.

As the number of Magic Stones increased, the Lower Level Magic Crystal soon became a Middle Level Magic Crystal, then a Higher Level Magic Crystal.

During this process, the higher-level Magic Stones ran out, and Sunan had to synthesize a new batch and continue placing them into the magic cube.

After an indeterminate amount of time, when Sunan thought his hypothesis incorrect—that Magic Stones could not synthesize a Magic Stone Mother—the synthesis interface suddenly changed, finally displaying the words he had been anticipating.

[Magic Stone Mother, purity 8.29%, a crystallized body containing a vast amount of energy, can be used to manufacture the core of energy supply devices.]

"Finally succeeded!"

Sunan breathed a long sigh of relief, his face showing a look of joy.

He almost thought his hypothesis was wrong.

Fortunately, he ultimately synthesized the Magic Stone Mother.

This made it possible to cultivate a Secondary Magic Stone mine.

"I wonder if an 8.29% purity Magic Stone Mother is enough."

It’s obvious without thinking that the higher the purity of a Magic Stone Mother used for cultivating a Secondary Magic Stone mine, the better.

Without saying a word, Sunan fetched a large number of Secondary Magic Stones from the warehouse and began the tedious synthesis.

It wasn’t until after adding hundreds of higher-level Magic Stones that the Magic Stone Mother’s purity increased by only 0.01% that he stopped synthesizing.

At this point, the purity of the Magic Stone Mother had reached 25.37%.

The cost was more than 2.8 million Secondary Magic Stones!

Almost the entire stock of Secondary Magic Stones in the Star Alliance had been consumed by him.

"The cost of a single Secondary Magic Stone is twelve Silver Coins. Over 2.8 million of them amount to more than three hundred thousand Gold Coins."

"The cost is acceptable."

The cost of a single Secret Puppet is over four hundred thousand Gold Coins, so more than three hundred thousand Gold Coins for a Magic Stone Mother seems quite a bargain, at least from Sunan’s perspective.

However, soon after, Lize came looking for him.

"Sunan, what did you do with so many Secondary Magic Stones?"

Lize’s face was full of confusion.

Just moments ago, she found out that the Secondary Magic Stones from dozens of warehouses in the Star Alliance had all been taken by Sunan.

More than half of these had just been put into storage, intended to be distributed across the cities of the Starry Empire for trade as energy.

Because of this, the Magic Energy Machines across the Starry Empire would face energy shortages in the near future.
