Chapter 69: Plague
In the study.
Su Nan put down the book in his hand and nodded slightly.
“Not bad, all three of you have passed.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Man, Corey, and Atier, who were standing in front of the desk, all breathed a sigh of relief.
“This is your reward.”
Su Nan waved his hand, and three bottles of Lower-Grade Revitalization Potion floated in front of the three.
“This is Lower-Grade Revitalization Potion. It can increase your spiritual activity, improve your meditation efficiency and learning ability. One bottle can last for a month.”
According to the descriptions in the books, real wizard potions, even if they were only zero-order potions, had powerful effects beyond ordinary people’s imagination.
Not to mention a potion that enhanced meditation efficiency, which was also very precious to wizard apprentices.
“Keep working hard. If you can pass the knowledge exam next month, there will be more rewards.”
After encouraging them, Su Nan waved his hand and let the three leave.
“The learning progress of these three little guys is pretty good.”
“Especially Xie Man. I originally thought that because of his background, his learning ability would be weaker than the other two. But he hasn’t fallen behind at all. It seems that the little guy is worth cultivating.”
A hint of a smile appeared on Su Nan’s face.
At this rate, in about half a year, the three little guys should be able to take on some of the base’s work.
Leaving the courtyard, Su Nan went straight to the training ground.
As expected, Kei was training on the training ground.
Bred and Jorton were also there.
Out of consideration for stabilizing his strength, and because the Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion needed to be supplied to the Blackrock Cavalry Regiment, Kei hadn’t asked Su Nan to make Dragon Blood Potion for him in the past half year.
Therefore, he was still a junior Great Knight, and there was no sign of him breaking through yet.
However, a junior Great Knight at the age of twenty-one was considered quite outstanding in any country.
Bredon and Jorton had each taken a Dragon Blood Potion.
The former had already shown signs of breaking through to becoming a Great Knight.
The latter had just broken through to become a peak knight three months ago.
Noticing Su Nan’s arrival, Kei immediately stopped training, took a towel from a servant and wiped his sweat, and smiled, “Why are you free today?”
“I have something for you.”
Kei’s eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately asked, “What is it?”
Bred and Jorton also looked curious.
After all, every time Su Nan took something out, it was a treasure beyond their imagination.
This time was probably no exception.
Under everyone’s expectant gaze, a long sword appeared out of thin air in Su Nan’s hand.
The silver-bright blade shone brightly in the sunlight, and the mysterious patterns on the surface of the blade shimmered with an exceptionally dazzling luster.
“This is a magical weapon.”
Su Nan came to a steel man target and swung the sword down.
Everyone felt a flash of fire in front of their eyes, and the next second they heard a hissing sound, the steel man target had been cut in half diagonally from the shoulder to the waist, the upper part falling to the ground with a bang.
“This is.”
Kei took a sharp breath.
As someone who had been using swords for years, he could naturally see how good the sword in Su Nan’s hand was.
That steel man target was forged from Black Stone iron ore, extremely hard. Ordinary knives and swords could only leave a white mark on it when they cut it.
But under the swing of that long sword, it was as fragile as tofu.
This shows how incredibly sharp it was!
And under normal circumstances, with the sharpness of this sword, the cut would definitely be smooth and flat, but in reality, the cut was uneven, with faint signs of melting.
It was clear that the long sword had effects similar to fire damage.
“This sword has solidified the [Armor Breaking] and [Weak Fire Element Damage] properties. In addition to being much sharper than ordinary weapons, it will also deal weak fire element damage when attacking,” Su Nan explained as he retracted the long sword.
This was the finished product he had made after he solidified the [Weak Fire Element Damage] on the magic weapon that had solidified the [Armor Breaking] property. He had failed three times before he finally succeeded.
It was also the best magical weapon he had made so far.
This was still because [Magical Item Manufacturing] had reached level 2. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have succeeded.
Currently, solidifying two properties at the same time was the limit of what Su Nan could do.
To do more, he would have to wait until [Magical Item Manufacturing] reached a higher level.
However, even so, Kei was already infatuated with this sword.
While he was excitedly stroking the sword, he couldn’t help but secretly marvel.
As expected of Su Nan, he could always bring him huge surprises.
The extent to which this weapon enhanced a knight’s combat power was self-evident.
With this sword in hand, he even had the confidence to fight a middle-level Great Knight.
On the side, Bred and Jorton stared enviously at the weapon in Kei’s hand.
Seeing this, Su Nan threw them each a magical weapon.
Bred’s was a shield that solidified [Black Steel] and [Energy Accumulation], extremely hard, and could also enhance the power of martial energy.
Jorton’s was a long sword that solidified [Sharpness] and [Weak Fire Element Damage].
After receiving their magical weapons, Bred and Jorton were immediately overjoyed and thanked Su Nan repeatedly.
“Can this kind of weapon be mass-produced?” Kei asked excitedly.
Su Nan shook his head slightly, “Not the kind you have. However, slightly inferior ones, magical weapons that only solidify one property, can barely be mass-produced.”
“What about the cost?” Kei asked immediately.
He was most sensitive to this right now.
Shining Light Territory needed to expand its military equipment while also supporting Su Nan in building the base, and the economic pressure was still immense.
“About twenty gold coins each.” Su Nan said.
This was because the magic stones were synthesized by him, and the cost was extremely low.
Otherwise, according to the market value (if there was one), the cost of a magical weapon would be at least eighty gold coins.
Kei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Alright, twenty gold coins wasn’t too much.
An ordinary fine steel long sword cost three or four gold coins, and magical weapons were much stronger than ordinary weapons, so it was reasonable for the price to be a few times higher.
That being said, to equip all the knights in the territory with a magical weapon would still cost at least several thousand gold coins, another huge expenditure.
Kei looked at the weapon in his hand and began to think about whether he could open up a new trade route using it.
Seeing his change in expression, Su Nan immediately guessed his intentions and poured cold water on him, “Forget about selling it outside. I don’t have that much time to spend making magical weapons.”
Kei was a little disappointed, but he also understood what Su Nan meant.
It would be too much of a waste to have a wizard apprentice act as a blacksmith.
After thinking for a while, he decided to equip the knights in the territory with a magical weapon each.
Su Nan nodded in agreement and gave Kei the magical weapons he had made during this period, including the failed ones, for him to distribute.
With everything settled, Su Nan was about to leave when he saw Kei’s secretary rushing into the training ground, handing Kei a scroll of parchment.
The latter opened it and his brow furrowed immediately.
“What happened?” Su Nan stopped and asked.
Kei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
“There is a plague outbreak in Frost Province.”
