Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 111 Obtains Niche Reversal Spellbook and Other Magic Books

Wolf Two slowly walked up the spiral wooden staircase, and a small earthquake occurred with each step. Then Wolf One followed him in.

Originally, after Wolf One fought the Oak Wizard, he should not be able to fight again for a short period of time. Similarly, Wolf Three, Brom, and even Mario may also be unable to fight for a short period of time.

The reason is that he had activated his Fury three times before, and even with his fivefold immortality, he couldn't withstand such exploitation.

Mario will also be unable to reactivate Brown's Shield for a short period of time due to excessive mana consumption.

However, thanks to the Oak Wizard, who used the immense energy generated by the death of a first-ring wizard's soul to restore all of Su Nan's troops, they are now at full strength.

In a way, Su Nan should thank the sorceress for infiltrating the Oak Wizard's Tower; otherwise, the Oak Wizard would not have made such a choice.

After confirming that there was no danger above, Su Nan followed and walked up the wooden stairs. Sure enough, at the top of the wooden stairs was a small library.

That must be the Oak Wizard's private library.

Su Nan ordered the werewolves to guard the four directions, while he himself began to inspect the books on the bookshelf, almost all of which were related to magic.

Although most of the books were burned or rotted, there may still be hundreds of surviving books, each a masterpiece.

It contains a wealth of knowledge about the wizarding world, as well as the plant magic heritage of the oak wizards.

Looking at the bookshelf, Su Nan said, "It seems that after the Oak Wizard was severely injured by the Lord of the Energy World, he didn't even have time to tidy up the library in his wizard tower. I'm afraid his condition was extremely critical at the time, and it was a matter of utmost urgency."

"Therefore, resources should be prioritized for setting up the ritual before death."

Su Nan could understand why the Oak Wizard wouldn't allow his apprentices to enter the Wizard's Tower to organize and salvage the books inside. Given his selfishness and arrogance, he would never share magical knowledge with apprentices he looked down upon.

Moreover, there is a very real problem.

The Oak Wizard couldn't be sure what would happen if his apprentices became powerful after being exposed to such advanced magical knowledge.

He might suspect that his apprentices would betray him because of this.

But if he had his apprentices come to maintain these books, many of them could probably have been saved.

Because most of the magic books here have been neglected for a long time, and the preservation magic here was destroyed by the Energy Lord, these books have all weathered and been destroyed over the long years.

The remaining hundred or so books survived for over two thousand years because of a faint magical protection; otherwise, they would have been eaten away by termites in less than a few decades, given their normal lifespan.

Su Nan casually opened a relatively beginner-level book. "The Mage's Hand and Mage Armor?"

"These are the spells of Magic Shield and Mage's Hand. I should have learned Magic Shield when I was a third-class wizard apprentice, and Mage's Hand is a common wizard skill. In theory, any wizard should know this; it's a basic skill. But because I lack the foundation, I have to learn it backwards now."

But it doesn't matter.

In any case, learning in reverse order is much faster.

Su Nan saw a book with the title "The Origin of Magic." He glanced at the book's synopsis, skipping the lengthy explanations and evidence, and went straight to the conclusion.

After all, he knew nothing about the common knowledge of the wizarding world. The process of proof and research involved many obscure and niche place names that he couldn't understand in a short time, so he could only let the AI ​​record them first.

Sunan said, "The author of this book seems to be a first-circle sorcerer of the Evocation school. He believes that the earliest magic originated from the religious rituals of primitive tribes. Moreover, even more than two thousand years ago, there were still many isolated and inaccessible areas where this kind of tribal religious primitive magic still remained."

"The locals even use 'ancestral spirits' to select magic successors in each generation. These 'ancestral spirits' are simply manifestations of some kind of magical power."

Su Nan remembered the origin of his Stone Offering series of potions. Wasn't that old Epirus chieftain the one who received the magical inheritance of the Ancestral Spirit and gained the ability to manipulate stone idols using soul fragments?

Therefore, the conclusions of this book are not entirely credible.

However, the Oak Wizard wrote a note in the blank space on this page: "I traveled further west to the Atlas Mountains, and in my search for new food chains, I discovered a reclusive, ancient wizard living in the mountains."

He would chew the roots and leaves of a special plant that could induce hallucinations, using this method to treat illnesses. Simultaneously, within these hallucinatory states, he would generate a kind of magical power.

I suspect this practice is older than the animistic religious rituals mentioned in this book. Perhaps it is the earliest form of magic.

Tormented by hallucinations, they inadvertently acquired some rudimentary methods of using magic to distort world phenomena.

Su Nan closed the book and sighed, "It seems that even a first-level mage in the orthodox wizarding world more than two thousand years ago could not determine the origin of magic."

"The search for the origins of our ancestors and the archaeological work involved are necessary in any world, and it is also a subject that requires a lot of energy to study and explore."

Su Nan continued searching through the books that interested him. To his surprise, he actually found the advanced meditation method of the Leaf of Life, which was the meditation method practiced by the Oak Wizard himself—the [Meditation Method of the Tree of Life].

This meditation method can be cultivated up to the first-circle wizard level, and even includes later parts, as well as the Oak Wizard's own speculations about the path to the second-circle wizard level, which are the content of the meditation method he set up.

However, Su Nan plans to just look at that part herself.

Clearly, the Oak Wizard hadn't even come close to becoming a second-circle wizard.

Furthermore, he has a tendency to boast, so it's very likely that his description of the meditation method for second-ring wizards was just a fabrication to impress others.

It's like how he found an oak tree and pretended it was the mature Tree of Life to shock the wizard apprentices who entered the Garden of the Four Seasons.

In addition, Su Nan also found a book that recorded the magic he used to change the positions of himself and his summoned creatures—the [Neclipse Reversal Spell].

But this is only one link in the chain.

Su Nan frowned. He couldn't learn it himself for the time being, but he could have the AI ​​analyze the core principles, pick out the parts he could use, and make the corresponding potions.

Once I become a first-circle wizard, I can directly learn this magic.

Similarly, Su Nan also found a spellbook that recorded his spell "Oak Wizard's Tree Arrow" and a spellbook that recorded "Oak Magic Armor", but unfortunately he did not find spellbooks for the other two spells he cast.

It's a spell to summon pumpkin evil spirits and invisible vine whipping spells.

There are no records of them, which suggests that the spellbooks that recorded these two spells have been destroyed.

In addition, Su Nan searched through most of the books. Besides a large number of books introducing common knowledge, books on in-depth research in specific areas, and a few low-level magic books, Su Nan also found a first-level magic book called "Ritual Possession" and a 0.7-level senior first-class apprentice-level magic book called "Acorn Explosion Spell".

Su Nan said, "The ritual possession should be the kind of magic he used to possess Vera's body. The Acorn Explosion Charm requires an acorn to be used, but I suspect there's also a method to create an acorn tree person. However, I've only found three related experimental records. The books that directly recorded this magic should have been destroyed in the battle."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow and said, "Damn energy creature, how could it do something so wasteful? If I, the mage, saw this, I would certainly not let it off easily."

As Su Nan spoke, he heard a slight footstep moving in the space above him, on the upper level of the wooden spiral staircase.

Su Nan immediately looked up and then exchanged a glance with Warwick and Vasilyan.

His golem troops were now stationed outside the oak tree, as the interior space was too small. Only the werewolf troops and death knights had followed him in.

Vasilyan condensed his black blade and tried to step forward, but Su Nan stopped him with a look, because there was an easier way.

Su Nan had Wolf Two bring over three bottles of Ghost series potions.

Then Su Nan directly crushed three bottles of Ghostly Potion: one Ghostly Potion - Summon Three-Headed Wolf, one Ghostly Potion - Summon Knight Squire, and one Ghostly Potion - Summon Frog.

All the summoned ghosts went up the stairs, and the sounds of fighting immediately came from above. The sorceress seemed to want to come down, but she was blocked by the huge, bloated body of the ghost frog, so she couldn't get down for the time being.

Wolf Two immediately let out a wolf howl, activated Demon Blood Charging and Three Furies, and then activated [Excessive Fury].

Wolf Two, as a mutated werewolf messenger, must have awakened personal extrasensory abilities related to rage, but his talent is very different from that of the exceptionally fierce wolf.

During the three stages of transformation, due to differences in natural talent, the werewolves' areas of expertise will begin to change.

Wolf Two is more docile, but more stubborn than Wolf One.

Therefore, the rage-related extrasensory ability he awakened is "Excessive Rage," which is an extrasensory ability that extends the rage, which originally could only last for about ten minutes, by about 1.5 times.

and so--

Wolf Two is more durable than Wolf Big!

Wolf Big is even more ferocious than Wolf Two!

At the same time, as the wooden spiral staircase came up, came the voice of Rachel Komnenos, who was very irritable because she felt bad about not killing anyone after slaying the ghosts, and was very surprised that the person who came up was Su Nan.

"How could it be you!"

"Where is the Oak Wizard?"

"Didn't you encounter the Oak Wizard?"
