The fifth potion making failed, and Sunan used up the last portion of dragon blood.
But he didn't care.
No need to take out the real thing, he himself is the best proof now.
After a good sleep, Sunan found Key in the meeting hall the next day.
Key had just returned from a patrol, still wearing armor, looking dusty.
He and a group of knights and generals were sitting in the hall, discussing how to deal with the invasion of the black-scaled lizardmen.
"In previous years, the black-scaled lizardmen would invade in the month of frost, rob food and go back for the winter. The time is about the same."
"The scouts found traces of the black-scaled lizardmen more than ten kilometers north of the city yesterday."
"This group of damned robbers, they never change their bad habits!"
"My lord, give me a team of 100 people, I will definitely kill those robbers!"
Key frowned.
Black Stone City is just a small city, and the total number of troops is only more than 500 people.
More than half of them are militiamen who have only received basic training and have never really seen blood.
It's OK to defend the city, but if they are pulled out to fight the black-scaled lizardmen, they will probably collapse at the first sight.
There are only more than 250 soldiers who can really be called combat forces.
This number of troops is really not enough to defend Black Stone City and the many surrounding villages.
Thinking of this, Key couldn't help but have a headache.
In addition to Owen, the black-scaled lizardmen are also a threat that he has to deal with.
If he doesn't deal with it properly, Black Stone City will be in trouble this winter.
While he was having a headache, Key saw Sunan coming in from the corner of his eye, raised his hand to signal his subordinates to stop talking, and looked at Sunan.
"What's the matter?"
Sunan said: "I succeeded."
After being stunned for a while, Key realized what Sunan meant, and said half-doubtfully: "Have you found a way to improve the strength of the army?"
The others also reacted at this time and looked at Sunan in unison.
But there was obvious doubt in their eyes.
It's only been a day, and a feasible solution has been developed?
This doesn't sound reliable.
Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Sunan didn't waste any words, and went straight to a long table, grabbed the edge of the table with one hand, and lifted it up.
Immediately, there was a creaking sound, and the heavy long table was lifted off the ground and hovered steadily about 20 centimeters above the ground, without any shaking.
Everyone looked at this scene with astonishment, and their eyes almost popped out.
It is well known that Sunan is in poor health. Normally, he can't even lift a long sword.
But now he can easily lift a table made of solid wood, weighing at least two or three hundred pounds, and it seems very easy.
This strength is probably not inferior to that of an apprentice knight!
Coming back to his senses, Key got up and looked at his younger brother with surprise.
"What's going on?"
Sunan put down the long table, smiled and nodded, explaining: "I made a potion that can strengthen the human body. I took a bottle myself. Now my physical condition is roughly equivalent to that of an apprentice knight. The worse the physical condition of the user, the stronger the effect of the potion. It is also effective for formal knights. It can be taken multiple times, but the effect will gradually weaken. More specific information requires collecting more data for analysis."
Listening to Sunan's words, Keyi's eyes became brighter and brighter.
According to this, if there are enough potions, it is entirely possible to train apprentice knights or even knights in batches.
An ordinary person can be promoted to an apprentice knight after taking the potion, then an apprentice knight is likely to be promoted to a formal knight, isn't it?
Keyi's face flushed with excitement.
People who are not lords have no idea how difficult it is to train a knight these days.
An ordinary person starts practicing skills and training his body at the age of twelve. It takes an average of four or five years to train his physical fitness to the point where he can practice breathing techniques and thus be promoted to a knight squire.
And a knight squire generally has to practice breathing techniques for four or five years before he can be promoted to an apprentice knight.
After that, it takes another seven or eight years of training to condense the seeds of life before being promoted to a formal knight.
It takes an average of 17 or 18 years to train a knight.
This requires sufficient qualifications.
Those with poor qualifications may never become knights in their lifetime.
In addition, the manpower and material resources consumed in the training process are also a huge expense.
Therefore, even the powerful nobles who own the territory often cannot train too many knights.
Take the Flash Territory as an example. Even at its peak, the total number of knights in the territory did not exceed 100.
This shows how precious a potion that can train knights in a short period of time is!
After taking a few deep breaths, Keyi calmed down his inner excitement, stared at Sunan, and asked solemnly: "What do you need me to do?"
Sunan said seriously: "Making this potion requires a lot of black-scaled lizardman blood."
"No problem!" Keyi agreed without saying a word, "Tomorrow I will lead the army out of the city to hunt black-scaled lizardmen!"
After a pause, he quickly came to Sunan and patted his shoulder with a look of relief.
"I didn't expect the legendary wizard's tricks to be real."
"I was wrong to doubt you before, I apologize to you here!"
Sunan smiled slightly: "We are a family, so don't worry about this."
Keyi's smile became brighter and brighter, and he nodded vigorously: "Well said, if we brothers work together, sooner or later we will be able to take back the Flash Territory and avenge our father."
Sunan nodded seriously, but his heart was calm.
With the goal of becoming a wizard, he had no interest in being the king. He just wanted to practice and live in peace and quiet until the recovery of elements and the heyday of wizards a thousand years later.
However, although he thought so in his heart, he still had to act in front of his elder brother.
After all, wizard practice requires a lot of resources. With a lord brother, it is more convenient and faster to collect resources.
So Sunan's goal is very clear. On the one hand, he wants to improve the strength of the territory and turn it into a logistics platform for collecting resources for himself, while practicing to improve his strength and strive to be promoted to a formal wizard as soon as possible.
On the other hand, the generals also recovered from their shock and looked at each other.
No one thought that the legendary wizard's method was actually true.
It can make ordinary people become apprentice knights in just one day. This method is simply magical and awesome!
For a while, everyone looked at Sunan with amazement and awe.
Then came a strong surprise.
With such a magical potion, the territory is expected to grow!
So when Key gave the order to go out of the city to hunt down the black-scaled lizardmen tomorrow, all the generals responded with excitement.
They had never wanted to see those damned bandits so much!
The black-scaled lizardmen, whom they hated in the past, have now become precious medicines in their eyes.
They are all capital for becoming stronger!
