Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 122 Julia's Ideas and the Beginning of the Attack on Simon Town!

At dusk, at Baron Peter's Castle, Julia Peter, as a member of the Peter family who is now closest to Sunan, has naturally been protected by Sunan since the past, and lives in a room specially for her on the west side of Peter's Castle.

They even set aside rooms specifically for the servants she brought to live in.

At that moment, Julia, with her dazzling golden hair and flawless skin, looking at herself in the mirror, said to her personal maid, "Belinda, this bouquet of roses that Galen gave me is for you. I shouldn't have accepted it in the first place."

"I only accepted it out of politeness because he forced it on me."

Belinda was combing Julia's hair because there was a small ball at Baron Peter's Castle that evening, which was organized by Sunan.

The reason is that many people in the territory have been preoccupied lately, and everyone is tired, so let's have a dance party.

However, Su Nan herself may not attend the dance.

The lower-ranking nobles in the territory are now used to Su Nan not participating in various activities. This has not only not caused any problems in governance, but has also made these lower-ranking nobles very curious about the baron above them.

Especially after feeling that Peter's territory was growing stronger in all aspects, and even gradually taking control of the surrounding territories.

Therefore, despite facing a series of suppressions from the Simon family recently, they have not lost confidence. Instead, most of them have maintained their confidence and patiently waited for Su Nan's next move.

It's just like what Su Nan did to Gus Pasha.

Even the guild leaders of Maple Leaf Town did not betray them this time.

Every day, they simply increase subsidies for the artisans in their guild within Maple Leaf Town, using this method to maintain commercial activity in Maple Leaf Town as much as possible, preventing it from being completely suppressed by Simon Town.

After all, many merchants still remember the fact that when the Bulgars swept through the southern Thracian military region, only the caravans of Baron Peter's territory were unaffected, and even through internal legislation, they prevented the still rampant Bulgars from moving south.

Even now, when the Bulgars are sweeping across the northern part of the Storm Kingdom, they dare not cross the territory of Baron Peter to plunder the southern region of the Storm Kingdom.

Therefore, despite the Simon family's recent promises of great profits, these businessmen dare not actually move there.

Meanwhile, inside the castle room, Belinda's eyes lit up as she looked at the roses Julia had given her.

As the master's personal maid, this is the kind of perk you get.

Especially in the last two years, she has enjoyed more and more benefits from gifts that her master didn't want. As Su Nan's power has grown, the value of Julia's identity has also begun to rise.

These roses, with just a little tidying up, can be sold at a discount to supplement her household income.

Belinda said to Julia with some regret, "But, Miss, that foreign nobleman named Galen seems to really like you. Aren't you going to give him any chance at all? He seems very handsome and wealthy."

"I've heard that the Othello family is a powerful family, apparently the behind-the-scenes power behind the most profitable Platinum Business Republic."

"If you could really marry him, your status would be elevated again..."

Julia glared at her, stopping her from continuing. "Stop talking."

"Belinda. His family has been competing maliciously with my family lately. He doesn't actually like me; he's just after my status."

"In any case, there is a huge gap in our social status. It is impossible for two people with such a large gap in social status to be together as equals. My best destiny is to find a nobleman from the Storm Kingdom, not the son of a merchant nobleman."

"Besides, I don't want to affect my relationship with my cousin Su Nan because of him."

Julia said with some annoyance, "Besides, I heard that he has been at sea for three years in a row, and spends less than two months a year on land."

"I can't stand living at sea."

"Moreover, his family is not around. He is in a foreign country, and I don't even know his past. If he was a bad person in the past, then I have no way to understand him."

"He could easily fool me with just a little pretense. Anyone can pretend to be a decent person for months. If a woman marries the wrong person, it's very difficult to recover. So, rationally speaking, it's impossible for me to accept him."

Julia Peter said, "Mrs. Pera has mentioned these things to me privately several times, and I think it might also be my cousin's idea."

In this era, Sunan, as the head of the Peter family's branch in the Storm Kingdom, has the power to decide whether or not to allow women in his family to marry.

Therefore, Julia also needs to consider Sunan's attitude.

Moreover, she always felt that Galen Othello was deliberately getting close to her because of her status, and was just toying with her feelings.

Julia said to her personal maid, "By the way, could you please deliver the velvet pillow I recently made to Sunan?"

"I think the pillow he was using was old."

Belinda immediately replied, "Yes, my lady."

……

Soon, the sun had set behind the mountains, and the militia of Simon Town gradually began to seal off the town.

Simon Town is different from Maple Leaf Town.

Maple Leaf Town strives to maintain trade even at night, gradually developing into a city that never sleeps.

However, for security reasons, Lord Simon would seal off the town and impose a curfew once the sun went down.

Meanwhile, fortifications were being built in his town of Simon.

The Othello family also advised him to build a ring of towers around the town of Simon. The Othello family even funded the hiring of two hundred militiamen and some official knights from the Kingdom of the Iliad overseas.

That was actually a mercenary group from the Iliad Peninsula called the "White Bird Mercenary Group," which the Othello family bought out as a package deal.

The Kingdom of Iliad, located overseas, is engaged in a fierce battle with infidels, and there is a large surplus of mercenary troops there that can be employed.

Next, the Othello family hired one hundred local militiamen who worshipped the god of storms, and then built many towers around Simon Town, as well as wooden spiked walls between the towers.

The Othello family seems to have taken note of Sunan's previous surprise attack on Gus Pasha's camp, so they built a comprehensive defensive fortification in Simon Town to prevent Sunan from launching another surprise attack.

Moreover, what Baron Simon was unaware of was that some low-level sorcerers were already hiding in Simon Town, which he considered a treasure.

He had never controlled this town of Simon. This town of Simon had never belonged to him.

Essentially, the Othello family established an independent stronghold within their territory, a stronghold that was even usurped and possessed by the High Order.

Within two months, many residents of Simon Town had joined the High Order and been transformed into possessed beings, or even begun to be converted into one-star bloodline sorcerers.

The Supreme Order is secretly expanding rapidly in Simon Town.

On a tower in Simon Town, a mercenary from the Iliad Peninsula suddenly squinted and said to his companion beside him, "The wind is really strong today."

"We can take it easy for a bit. Anyway, there are at least two hundred people defending this dilapidated town at night, and more than ten arrow towers."

"I really don't know who they're trying to defend against. Could some rural lord near the Storm Kingdom possibly launch a large-scale attack?"

"And this awful weather, there's not even a moon or stars. Look, that dark cloud in the sky is blocking out the moonlight..."

"Wait a minute, what are those things? Those aren't dark clouds, those look like gargoyles? Damn it, aren't those the stone statues on the roof?!"

But before he could react, more than sixty gargoyles appeared in the sky and began throwing glass bottles down on Simon Town.

The mercenary was even stunned for a moment, completely unaware of how dangerous he was in, because he didn't know that the glass bottles contained black and white flame potions, explosive bug potions, firefly potions, and fireball bug potions.

So when he was surprised that the gargoyles could move and why they were rushing towards their town, his first reaction was to focus on observing why the gargoyles were throwing glass bottles onto the ground...

People are always more curious than wary of things that are beyond their comprehension.
