## Chapter 72: Base Tour

Shining Light City, tavern backyard.

Shouts rose and fell, creating a chaotic cacophony.

“Be quick! Unload everything.”

“Be careful! If you break anything, I’ll deduct your pay!”

“Separate the marked items and I’ll personally send them out of the city.”

Muzhuo loudly directed his subordinates, occasionally throwing in a curse.

Normally, with his status, he wouldn’t need to personally accompany the convoy to deliver goods.

Remembering his first encounter with Su Nan at the tavern, Muzhuo couldn’t help but sigh.

Although he had initially recognized Su Nan as someone extraordinary with a promising future, he never imagined the other party’s performance would be so astonishing and impressive.

As one of the major merchants of the Thornflower Kingdom, he had his own intelligence channels and knew well how crucial Su Nan’s role was in the recent battle to reclaim Shining Light Territory.

It could be said that without Su Nan, Black Stone City wouldn’t have been able to make a comeback. Instead, it would have crumbled during the assassination attempt!

Su Nan had almost single-handedly reversed the power dynamic between the two sides!

Although Muzhuo had heard countless rumors about the secrets of Wizard Apprentices, he had never witnessed firsthand how powerful they truly were.

Naturally, he wanted to befriend such a promising individual.

Not to mention, Su Nan also had a partnership with the Merchant Guild. Those potions brought the Guild a significant profit.

After unloading the goods, Muzhuo entrusted the remaining tasks to his deputy, while he personally led people and cargo towards the base outside the city.

Ota followed Muzhuo closely, and they rode in the same carriage.

After getting into the carriage and lowering the curtain, Muzhuo casually asked, “Any news from the Dyeing Frost Province?”

Ota shook his head with a heavy expression. “No. I sent several letters, but the clan members there have not replied.”

“Strange. The beastmen in Dyeing Frost Province live perfectly normal lives. Why would they spread the Beast Transformation Syndrome?” Muzhuo stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Ota said in a low voice, “It shouldn’t be them. Only the original beastmen can spread the Beast Transformation Syndrome, not us descendants. I think there’s something else going on here.”

Muzhuo didn’t refute him. He pondered for a moment and said, “After delivering these goods, you go to Dyeing Frost Province and investigate. If the situation is too critical, the Merchant Guild will have to consider shrinking its business in the province.”

“Understood.” Ota nodded solemnly.

The two then fell silent, and the carriage was soon filled with quietude.

At that moment, a commotion suddenly erupted from outside.

Curious, Muzhuo lifted the curtain and looked out, discovering three black leopards running through the street, attracting the attention of passersby.

Blackrock Leopards!

Muzhuo immediately recognized the origin of the black leopards.

Since the Black Stone City battle, the reputation of the Blackrock Cavalry had spread throughout the Golden Rock Province.

Many knew that this cavalry regiment possessed a powerful mount called the Blackrock Leopard, each with knight-level combat strength, fearless and even more outstanding than the best warhorses.

The Blackrock Cavalry’s fame was largely due to the Blackrock Leopards.

Many noble lords coveted them.

Muzhuo had once sounded out Kei’s intentions about purchasing Blackrock Leopards, but his offer was promptly rejected.

But what surprised Muzhuo this time wasn’t the Blackrock Leopards, but the three children riding on their backs.

Two boys and one girl, all thirteen or fourteen years old.

“Who are these three?” Muzhuo wondered silently.

Their age clearly indicated they couldn’t be part of the Blackrock Cavalry, yet they were riding Blackrock Leopards. Their status in Shining Light City must be quite high.

Suddenly, something clicked in Muzhuo’s mind.

He heard that Su Nan had taken on three apprentices at the beginning of the year. Could these be those three kids?

Whoosh!

The wind whistled past his ears, and the scenery on both sides flew by rapidly.

Xie Man rode on the back of the Blackrock Leopard, his face filled with excitement, experiencing the thrill of his first leopard ride, feeling the blood rush through his veins.

Kore, on the other side, shared the same excitement, his eyes sparkling.

Only Atir felt a little pale, struggling to adapt to such a fast speed.

Before long, the three arrived at their destination.

“This is the base the teacher mentioned?”

Xie Man curiously examined the towering stone wall and the closed gate in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed faint, peculiar patterns on the surface of the stone wall.

He vaguely remembered seeing such patterns in a book, seemingly a type of enchantment rune that strengthened the hardness of objects.

Boom!

The closed gate suddenly opened, and a familiar figure rushed out from within, teleporting in front of the three.

It was Amy.

“Meow, you finally came! I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

Amy waved to the three.

“Come in quickly. Su Nan is busy. Let me take you on a tour of the base first, so you can familiarize yourselves with the place.”

Under Amy’s guidance, Xie Man and the others cautiously entered the base.

Upon passing through the gate, they discovered two giant rock creatures standing behind it.

“Stone Golems!” Atir exclaimed.

She had seen pictures of Stone Golems in books, but this was the first time she saw them in person.

Xie Man and Kore also stared at the Stone Golems, their eyes wide with wonder.

“They are the base’s guards, meow.” Amy explained.

As she spoke, a group of clay golems approached from afar, seemingly about to leave the base.

Amy glanced back and said, “A merchant convoy just arrived with some deliveries. They are going to move things. Come on, let’s keep going.”

She hopped forward, bouncing cheerfully, and the three followed closely behind.

Amy was very diligent, explaining the purpose of each place they visited.

“This is the Meditation Area. You can meditate here in the future. Just pick any empty meditation chamber.”

“This is the Magic Training Area. You see those humanoid targets? Once you’ve learned magic, you can practice here.”

“This is the Experimental Area, where we conduct experiments.”

“This is the Living Area, your future residence.”

“This is the Potion Production Area…”

The base was incredibly vast.

Along the way, the variety of facilities overwhelmed the three youngsters.

Unconsciously, they arrived at the Puppet Factory.

Xie Man immediately noticed a towering steel behemoth standing in a corner and couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

“What is that?”

Amy glanced at it and said, “That’s a Steel Golem.”

“So this is a Steel Golem.”

The books Xie Man and the others had read only described lower-level golems, briefly mentioning the Steel Golem without going into detail. Seeing it in person, they were awestruck.

It’s so huge!

“Amy, is the Steel Golem much stronger than the Stone Golem?” Kore asked curiously.

“Of course, the Steel Golem’s combat power is equivalent to a Legendary Knight.”

Upon hearing Amy’s answer, the three youngsters gasped in unison, their eyes wide with astonishment.

This hulking giant was as powerful as a Legendary Knight!

They couldn’t help but swallow hard, their gazes filled with awe towards the Steel Golem.

Their admiration for Su Nan deepened even further.

How powerful must their teacher be to create a Steel Golem?
