Just as Sunan devoted his energy to cultivation and research, the sub-magic energy technology also spread across the southeastern region of the continent at an astonishing speed.
As the concentration of energy particles on the continent gradually increased, the speed at which the secondary magic stone veins were cultivated and ford also gradually accelerated.
In places with rich energy node locations, the formation speed of secondary magic stone veins was even faster.
By the year 1436 of the Starlight Calendar, a small-scale secondary magic stone vein and two dium-scale secondary magic stone veins were being mined under the jurisdiction of the Star Alliance, with the output of secondary magic stones having increased five or six tis compared to previous years.
The rise in secondary magic stone output also facilitated the rapid spread of sub-magic energy technology.
"This is the developnt status of sub-magic energy technology in the southeast region over the past ten years."
Lize placed a docunt in front of Sunan.
"The situation is much better than we expected. The inco of the southeast region has been steadily increasing for the past ten years, and last year’s inco is more than doubled compared to ten years ago. If the whole Starlight Continent promotes sub-magic energy technology, the annual inco of the Star Alliance will definitely exceed fifty million gold coins."
Sunan opened the docunt to read and casually asked, "How long will it take for the remaining secondary magic stone veins to form?"
"If the continental energy particle concentration continues to rise as it is now, about two hundred years."
"That long?"
"After all, the remaining ones are large-scale veins, and they require more ti."
Initially, to maximize the use of each energy node, the Star Alliance only opened up one small and two dium-sized veins to prepare for the promotion of sub-magic energy technology, while the rest were all developed into large veins.
Lize said, "Although the waiting ti is a bit longer, once all the large veins are ford, the output will be sufficient for the entire Starlight Continent."
Sunan agreed with this.
Although the sub-magic energy technology in the southeast is still in its early stages and the demand for secondary magic stones has not reached its peak, the output of one small and two dium-sized veins is barely enough to supply the secondary magic stone demand for the entire southeast region, which already shows how considerable the output of these veins is.
Once the remaining thirty or so large veins are ford, the secondary magic stone output will surely be more than sufficient to cover the whole continent.
After reading the docunt, Sunan had a clear understanding of the developnt details of sub-magic energy technology and secondary magic stone veins and set the docunt aside, then asked about another matter.
"How is the Starlight Academy doing lately?"
"Not bad."
Lize gestured, and a new docunt fell in front of Sunan.
"Perhaps due to the increased energy particle concentration, more people have wizard qualifications these years."
"Currently, the total number of students at the Starlight Academy has exceeded twenty-three thousand, with two hundred and eighty-eight of them being Level 3 Wizard Apprentices."
Sunan nodded with satisfaction.
This number is already very impressive; the total number of wizard apprentices on the Starlight Continent over the past century likely doesn’t even amount to this many.
And it can be anticipated that the number of new students enrolling each year will continue to increase.
Until the energy particle concentration of the Starlight Continent completely stabilizes, reaching a balance between the amount of new entrants and deaths among wizard apprentices, will the number of students reach its peak.
If there are no changes, it should always hover around that level.
By then, the Starlight Academy will have at least tens of thousands of students.
This basically reaches the average number of wizard apprentices that a dium-sized human plane can produce.
As for those large wizard influences, the reason they have millions of wizard apprentices is because they control multiple human planes and have a wide base for recruitnt.
"And the number of wizards?" Sunan then asked.
"Currently, it’s seven."
Sunan raised an eyebrow, recalling it was five wizards previously.
"Who are the two newly promoted ones?"
"Sherman and Cole."
This answer genuinely surprised Sunan.
"When did they advance?"
"Half a year ago," Lize said. "They originally wanted to report their advancent to you, but you were either in the training room or locked up in the workshop, so they couldn’t find a chance."
Sunan was speechless.
It seems he is sowhat inadequate as a teacher, being unaware of such significant events as his disciples advancing to wizard.
"That’s good; it appears both of them are diligently training, so I cannot treat them poorly as their teacher. Have them co to the study one day."
Sunan paused, then asked:
"What about Attila?"
Lize shook her head, "She lacks the aptitude; no matter how hard she tries, it won’t be possible for her to advance to wizard through normal ans."
Sensing an implied aning in Lize’s words, Sunan asked with interest, "Are you implying there’s an unconventional way for her to do it?"
Lize said nothing but glanced at the codex on the table in front of her.
Sunan was slightly startled, and then frowned.
"Are you suggesting Attila should transform into a ghost form like you did and then reshape her body?"
Lize said calmly, "Only in this way can Attila acquire more ti and gain a slim hope of advancing to wizard."
"But isn’t this thod not guaranteed to succeed? It even carries a significant risk of death," Sunan said, frowning.
"I’ve already asked Attila, and she’s willing to do this."
Sunan was montarily silent, sighing inwardly.
Attila usually doesn’t seem desperate to enhance her strength, yet she has an unexpectedly deep obsession with advancing to wizard, to the extent that she’s willing to use such a highly fatal thod just to gain a slim chance of advancent.
Perhaps her usual deanor was rely a facade to mask her disappointnt and inferiority over her insufficient aptitude.
After a long pause, Sunan finally spoke:
"I’m curious, why are you willing to help Attila extract her soul and transform into a ghost form?"
Attila couldn’t possibly know about Lize’s experience; the matter of extracting the soul and transforming into a ghost could have only been proactively told by Lize.
But given Lize’s character, it’s hard to imagine her doing such a thing.
Even ntioning this to Sunan now might have an elent of seeking favor for Attila.
Even though Attila is just a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice in na, the resources needed to reshape her body won’t be as astonishing as Lize’s, but it’s still a considerable expenditure.
At least for an ordinary Level 3 Wizard Apprentice, the resources needed to reshape the body are absolutely astronomical, unachievable even with a century’s worth of contribution points.
Under normal circumstances, the Star Alliance would not pay such a high price for a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice without sufficient value.
Lize was silent for a mont, then said, "Her temperant suits ."
Sunan was speechless, then laughed.
Indeed, even wizards are not emotionless logs.
Attila had been by Lize’s side for so long, one assisting with various duties, and the other occasionally guiding in training; it’s not surprising for them to develop so feelings.
In na, Attila is his student, but in fact, she’s more like a disciple to Lize.
Thinking about this, Sunan got an idea and smiled, "Reshaping the body isn’t cheap. How do you plan to convince ?"
"...What do you want?"
"Adjust the previous agreent: After reshaping the body, you will join the Star Alliance."
Lize’s expression froze, she glared at Sunan but eventually nodded.
"Fine, I agree."
"It’s settled then; Attila’s matter is up to you. Whatever is needed, take it directly from the warehouse. If we’re fortunate and succeed, when the plane barriers are completely restored in the future, I’ll reshape her body for her."
After finishing the conversation, Sunan didn’t stay much longer and directly left the study.
Lize watched Sunan’s figure disappear, shook her head, and let out a light chuckle.
Having stayed in the Star Alliance for so long and observed its developnt potential, she had long considered reshaping her body and joining the Star Alliance.
Even without today’s matter, she would have proposed it later.
She knew Sunan actually noticed this point as well; the conversation just now was rely a mutual understanding between them.
Even if she didn’t pay any price, Sunan would agree to Attila’s request.
After all, she is his disciple.
The Star Alliance indeed wouldn’t pay a huge price for a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice.
But if that Level 3 Wizard Apprentice is the disciple of the Star Alliance’s ruler, then it’s a different story.
