"But without establishing your own forces, it’s difficult to collect resources."
"I’m not a loner either." The Traveler shrugged, "I still collaborate with a few major nobles, that’s enough."
He paused, showing a wistful expression, sighed and said:
"Besides, what good is it to collect more resources?"
"In the current situation on the Starlight Continent, advancing as a Wizard isn’t sothing that more resources alone can solve."
"To break this deadlock, you can only find the legendary three wizard inheritances, which I’ve been searching for all these years."
At this point, the Traveler’s eyes flickered slightly.
Sunan noticed, and his heart skipped a beat as he stared intently at the Traveler.
"Did you find any clues?"
The Traveler hesitated for a mont, but finally nodded in acknowledgnt.
"Yes."
"Which wizard inheritance?"
"The Black Forest."
Sunan’s eyes lit up, and he smiled slightly, "How about this? I won’t take advantage of you, you tell the clue about the Black Forest, I’ll tell you the clue about the Starry Tower, how about it?"
"Deal!" The Traveler agreed without hesitation.
Sunan was taken aback for a mont, then quickly realized.
Previously, when the Magic Hand and Blood Mouth were communicating, they ntioned the key to the Starry Tower. The Traveler must have heard it then and kept it in mind. Now bringing up the Black Forest clue, he was waiting for him here.
This guy is actually pretty sly too.
Facing Sunan’s aningful gaze, the Traveler chuckled awkwardly and laughed, saying:
"I can make an Oath Contract to ensure the accuracy of the information I give you!"
Of course, Sunan did not refuse.
After making the Oath Contract, they began exchanging information.
"I got the clue about the Black Forest in Magic Spider City."
"The Philier Clan, one of the twelve families in Magic Spider City, the third generation matriarch reportedly once entered a strange forest and gained great power from it. That’s how she defeated all competitors to inherit the position of matriarch."
"I infiltrated the Philier Clan and checked their archives. It indeed recorded this event, but more detailed information was unavailable."
"I speculate that if this event is true, the critical information would only be passed down through word of mouth, perhaps only known to successive matriarchs of the Philier Clan."
The Philier Clan...
Sunan’s eyes flickered with a pondering light.
Anyway, since there’s a clue, it must be investigated.
It seems contact with Magic Spider City is inevitable.
Even if they don’t co looking for him, he would go looking for them.
Coming to his senses, Sunan also truthfully conveyed the clue about the Starry Tower.
"Recently, a new mber nad Hunter joined the Forest Cabin, have you heard?"
The Traveler shook his head. He hadn’t seen the Night Owl for nearly two years, so naturally, he didn’t know about the recent activities of the Forest Cabin.
"During a previous gathering, Hunter sold a key to the Starry Tower, which allows one to locate and enter the tower when it appears. I guess Hunter might have more keys, you might want to start from there."
The Traveler regretted missing this rare opportunity.
If he’d known a Starry Tower key was being sold, he would have attended the gathering.
Unfortunately, he was being chased by the Magic Hand during that ti and was too preoccupied to attend any gatherings.
"Hunter... Looks like I need to find a way to privately contact him," the Traveler thought to himself.
At this mont, Sunan suddenly tossed sothing over, and the Traveler instinctively caught it, looking down to find it was a Space Ring.
"This is..." The Traveler cast a puzzled glance at Sunan.
"A reciprocal gesture. You gave so much information, I have to give you so gift too," Sunan said with a smile.
The Traveler opened the Space Ring and was startled to find a hundred magic stones inside.
Such a generous reward!
However, the allure of magic stones was too great. Reluctant to give them up, the Traveler hesitated but ultimately accepted them.
"Thanks." He said seriously.
Sunan waved his hand, indicating no thanks were needed.
Honestly, besides the clue to the Black Forest, the Traveler’s information on the distribution of forces was definitely worth a hundred magic stones.
Besides, doing so could leave an impression of generosity on the Traveler.
In the future, if there were any other information, the Traveler would probably be eager to trade with him.
After exchanging information, the Traveler bid farewell and left the next day.
Sunan didn’t persuade him to stay and imrsed himself in work once he left.
Apart from daily training, most of his focus was on two tasks.
One is enhancing the Hidden Dragon’s bloodline concentration.
The other task is repairing the Elental Pool.
The cost of repairing the Elental Pool isn’t high, requiring only about ten thousand gold coins in materials, the main issue is technical.
Without the Spiritual Power of an Official Wizard level, the difficulty of repairing many parts skyrockets.
The intricate rune engravings are so challenging that failure ans starting anew, and Sunan often failed dozens or even hundreds of tis before success, reminiscent of his first attempts at potion-making.
After over three months, Sunan finally completed the repair of the Elental Pool.
Dragon Forest, top floor of the Dragon Remains Tower.
Looking at the perfectly repaired square pool before him, Sunan let out a long breath and showed a sincere smile of joy.
The completion of the Elental Pool’s repair brings enormous significance.
It marks that the developnt of his forces is about to enter a brand-new stage.
"The only thing left is activation."
Sunan took out the prepared gemstones from the Space Ring, carved them into octagonal shapes, and embedded them into the Array, making them look like a seamless unity.
Buzz!
The entire Elental Pool suddenly shook violently, and the surrounding space abruptly cracked into fissures.
The scenery behind these fissures was bizarre, resembling abysmal oceans, boundless skies, firey infernos, thick crusts... and more.
They turned out to be various Elental Planes!
After an unusual blend of energy, strands of deep blue water flowed into the Elental Pool.
This was not real water but Elental Energy condensed into a liquid form, appearing as water on the surface in the Elental Pool.
A manifestation of energy in its most gentle form!
With the successful establishnt of the Elental Pool, an abundant, active energy enveloped the entire Dragon Remains Tower.
"It’s a success!"
Sunan took a deep breath, feeling the air filled with Elental Energy, his expression quite joyful.
The Elental Pool will continuously emit energy to the surroundings.
Within its energy’s coverage, a Wizard (apprentice)’s Spiritual Power recovery will significantly speed up, ditation efficiency will slightly improve, and it can even sowhat delay aging, increasing a person’s life expectancy.
In other words, living long-term within the Dragon Remains Tower, one can gain the benefits of longevity, rapid recovery, and improved ditation efficiency.
Moreover, the larger the Elental Pool, the better the effects.
Sunan estimated that a micro Elental Pool could increase Spiritual Power recovery speed by about 20% and ditation efficiency by around 5%.
Living there long-term could also add 5 to 10 years to one’s life.
Watching the water level in the Elental Pool rise slowly, Sunan felt increasingly happy.
The Elental Pool operates on the most primitive elent channel chanism, with magic power flowing back into the Elental Pool through elental surge, which is not very efficient, but at least there’s no worry of exhaustion. As long as the Elental Pool isn’t damaged and maintained regularly, it can last for thousands of years.
With the energy supplied by the Elental Pool, the ecological environnt in Dragon Forest can gradually be restored, and there’s no need to worry about energy shortage anymore.
The only pity is that the energy provided by the Elental Pool, while stable, is too scant for most tasks.
Composing himself, Sunan opened the three-dinsional model of Dragon Forest.
The Spatial Barrier of Dragon Forest had already been repaired, only the Dragon Remains Tower and Area 2 had not yet been restored.
The main repairs needed in the Dragon Remains Tower are the cultivation pods in the transformation area and various experintal facilities, the Magic Energy Crystal forging furnace in the workshop area, the targets in the training area, and the overall Magic Energy transmission pipelines, etc.
Years of neglect had caused various issues in these facilities, each needing to be repaired one by one.
Fortunately, the Dragon Remains Tower has a perfect self-repair function, and with the help of Butler Number One, as long as there’s ample energy, repairs won’t take too much ti.
"Number One, begin repairs on the Dragon Remains Tower." Sunan commanded.
"Starting repairs on Dragon Remains Tower, estimated to require 18 days, 15 hours, 25 minutes, and 16 seconds."
Sunan nodded quietly.
Once repairs in the Dragon Remains Tower are completed, nuclear relocation of the base can begin.
As for Area 2, it can be slowly repaired once energy is restored fully.
After all, dragons for cultivation are not easily found anyti soon.
Without the Dragon Race, even if Area 2 is fully restored, it can only be used as a super large Magic Plant Garden.
