Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 126 Simon Territory Looted

Rachel Komnenos used [Energy Displacement] to escape again, but Su Nan didn't care, because this was the second time she had used this ability in front of him.

This gave Su Nan the opportunity to record and analyze the unique abilities of this energy world a second time.

Su Nan asked the AI: "AI, what's the level of analysis for the [Energy Exchange]?"

Yes, because we lack a complete understanding of energy beings, our current analysis level is only 7%, making magical simulation impossible at this time. Recording more energy transfers might allow for deeper analysis. However, we can now begin searching for possible ways to prevent 'energy substitution'.

[It is recommended that, two seconds before the next 'energy exchange' occurs, you use your telekinesis to send a portion of your own qualities into the ongoing energy exchange. This will alter the balance of the energy transfer, changing the conditions that cause the energy exchange to collapse, or at least significantly reducing its stability.]

Su Nan immediately understood the underlying principle.

When energy exchange occurs, a balance effect occurs. In the second second after the energy exchange, the size, properties, etc. of the two energy bodies on the balance are detected, and they are then in basic equilibrium, meaning that one side is not too large and the other side is not too small, so that the transfer can take place.

Therefore, mixing your own mental energy into the balance can easily cause the scales, which were originally in equilibrium, to suddenly tip sharply to the other side.

Su Nan ordered the gargoyles to sort through the battlefield loot, collect the corpse of the two-star sorcerer and the left severed arm of the three-star sorceress.

Now I have two of that three-star sorceress's arms.

Moreover, I haven't even started researching and utilizing it yet.

If this continues, Su Nan might be able to piece together a complete set of her limbs.

Su Nan imagined a field of chives.

It feels like letting Rachel Komnenos go isn't so bad, because her arms will grow back next time we meet, and I can just slash them off a few more times, let her escape, and then slash off a few more arms next time we meet. All of that can be considered my three-star warlock bloodline essence farm.

You can cut it repeatedly!

Under Su Nan's control, the two super werewolf deacons and the gargoyle found the vault in Simon Town. It has to be said that the Othello family's reserve funds for Simon Town are really abundant. There are 4500 Storm Coins in that vault!

This must be the Othello family's intended subsidy for Simon, along with a large portion of the gold coins, which has already been converted into the buildings outside that have been burned to ruins.

This was arguably one of the Othello family's most significant and costly investments.

As a result, all of these benefits went to southern Jiangsu.

Su Nan had the gargoyles put the gold coins into sacks, and then had them carry several sacks and fly back.

At the same time, he ordered the gargoyles to go to Baron Simon's castle and drop the remaining approximately 11 bottles of explosive bugs onto the main building of the Simon family's castle, which was not far from Simon Town.

Instantly, the main castle of the Simon family was also blown up and engulfed in flames.

The super werewolf butlers located the vault and library in their castle with lightning speed, and then the gargoyles swarmed in and looted the place again.

However, the Simon family was too poor, with only 153 gold coins in stock. It seems they had recently invested all their money in Simon Town. Their family also didn't have many books, just three large bookcases.

Su Nan directly ordered the nine-headed gargoyles to grab the three bookshelves, lift them into the air, and then pack them up and fly back to their castle.

In this way, Su Nan plundered a total of 4653 gold coins from Simon's territory, which is an astonishing amount of wealth, equivalent to more than three years' worth of tax revenue from Maple Leaf Town.

In this way, Su Nan will not be short of money in the short term. He can even use this money to invest in Maple Leaf Town and expand its business scale again.

Sure enough, murder and arson bring wealth and honor.

Everything was done in less than an hour.

This speed and efficiency far surpasses that of the Bulgars.

Su Nan began to think after this attack: if he could attack other people's territory, then others could also attack his territory.

Offensive and defensive capabilities should be kept in balance.

Next, I should strengthen my reconnaissance and defense capabilities.

The defenses can be further strengthened by Mario, enhancing Brown's shield to protect his castle, then deploying some flying gargoyles in Maple Town to establish an anti-air system, and deploying some werewolves to build a ground defense army.

The reconnaissance ability allows the remaining seven werewolf butlers to be transformed into super werewolf butlers, and even more werewolf butlers to be created, turning them into mobile radar base stations.

Using the werewolf butler's super hearing, super sense of smell, and super vision, he can monitor the entire territory in all aspects, leaving the enemy no chance to exploit the loopholes in his defense system.

Meanwhile, the fifty hunting dogs I had previously raised have grown up during this period, and after culling and selection, at least 30 of them are usable.

He can also transform into thirty ordinary werewolves.

In any case, we should strengthen our core werewolf group during this period.

Additionally, we should explore ways to monitor the territory, or utilize existing magical resources to further enhance and improve the werewolf pack's comprehensive reconnaissance capabilities.

The blind nun's idea of ​​launching a surprise attack on her territory, just like her raid on the sorcerer's base, was a pipe dream.

In the midst of a lively dance party.

Sunan, citing the inconvenience of speaking at the ball and the large number of people, asked Borgia Frederick to leave and rest in a guest room in the castle. They would discuss Borgia's next move in Sunan's study the next day.

An excited Borgia immediately agreed to Sunan's request, left the ball, and returned to his room to rest.

He felt he had finally accomplished something on his own.

He didn't rely on anyone, not even his father.

This gave Borgia tremendous confidence.

Although from the very beginning, his experiences, and even his emotional and psychological changes, were all secretly arranged by Su Nan.

Meanwhile, Su Nan sat on a chair at the ball and began to communicate with the gargoyle Gaguy and the others through the wolf pack effect, getting them to take the spoils back to the wolf house.

A beautiful noblewoman dressed in a golden silk gown approached Su Nan and offered him a glass of wine. "Lord Su Nan, you've finally made it to the ball, why are you suddenly sitting here silently? Has someone angered you? I'll certainly help you get revenge."

Su Nan smiled and said, "Mrs. Alice, no one has made me angry. Today is a happy day, and everyone will be very happy at the Peter family ball."

"Mrs. Alice, I heard from your husband, Mr. Nelson King, that you enjoy reading history books and are a historian. Do you know anything about Komnen?"

"Lord Sunan, that's just a nickname people use for me." A blush of guilt and embarrassment appeared on Alice's face. "I can hardly be considered a historian, but I have indeed read a lot about the history of the Storm Kingdom and the Eastern Empire."

"About two hundred years ago, the Komnen family was the royal family of the Eastern Empire."

"However, during the Komnen dynasty of the Eastern Empire, the political situation was chaotic, and the royal family members plotted against each other. It was not a period of great strength for the Eastern Empire."

"The Komnen family was originally a powerful military noble family in the Asia Minor military region. They later staged a military coup and became the royal family, but dramatically, they were overthrown by the Dukas family in less than two years."

"The Dukas family became royalty through a military coup, but the Dukas dynasty was later overthrown by another military coup, so Komnen returned through a military coup as well."

"In its final period, the Eastern Empire failed to properly handle the issue of succession, and almost every change of royal family was achieved through a military coup."

"However, the Asia Minor Military District is no longer within the Storm Kingdom, but in the hands of our common enemy, the Nicomedia Empire, which claims to be the rightful heir to the Eastern Empire."

Lady Alice strained to recall, in order to answer the questions posed by her young, superior noble lord. "It was during the Komnenos dynasty that the White Gold Commercial Republic was granted a series of enormous trade privileges, and the feudal system and mercenary army were replaced by the original military district system and standing army."

"It was the Komnen Dynasty that launched a holy war against the pantheon of gods, summoning holy armies from the western countries that worshipped other pantheons of gods to fight against the armies of the eastern countries that worshipped the desert pantheon. But they found that when the holy armies—that is, our ancestors—came, they could only focus all their energy on controlling and mistreating our ancestors, becoming ineffective. In the end, during the fourth holy war, our ancestors usurped this two-thousand-year-old empire."

Lady Alice smiled and said, "The Komnen Dynasty can be said to be a landmark dynasty in the overall decline of the Eastern human empire."

"I've heard that the Komnen dynasty claims to be a divine family bestowed by the God of Law, possessing superhuman abilities."

"They once publicly demonstrated their supernatural abilities to convince everyone that they were the chosen incarnations of the God of Law."

"It is said that the purer the Komnen bloodline, the stronger their superhuman intuition. Pure-blooded Komnen even claim that they can use superhuman intuition to know the direction of their next move faster than their enemies."

"Lord Su Nan, if you are interested, I can lend you my family's collection of books for a period of time."

Su Nan nodded. He finally understood why, during the battles, the sorceress always seemed to have a flash of inspiration and come up with a solution when it was crucial, the most dangerous moment, when she was about to be killed.

I had heard the blind nun refer to her as Rachel Komnenos before.

She must have superhuman intuition.

However, judging from her actual combat performance, either the Komnenos family was exaggerating their superhuman intuition, or Rachel Komnenos was just a branch of the Komnenos family with a weak bloodline, so her superhuman intuition wasn't that useful.

It is likely that throughout the entire Komnen dynasty, there was a shadow of sorcerer groups secretly manipulating things.

The complete decline and destruction of the Eastern human empire was likely orchestrated by a group of sorcerers who had been hiding in the shadows.

However, during that period, the warlock group probably didn't dare to appear in the open, nor did it have as many resources as it does now.

This super-intuitive ability is very interesting. If we could analyze it and let our werewolf butlers obtain it, wouldn't their reconnaissance ability be greatly enhanced?

The key point is that I do now have two arms, Rachel Komnenos's arms!

Su Nan felt that perhaps something could be gleaned from these two arms.

Even if this ability were given to ordinary werewolves, it would enhance their close combat abilities.
