Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 129 'Baron of the Commoners': Plebe Simon's Loyalty and Transformation - Thirty Ordinary Werewolves

On the third day, Preebe Simon, the only remaining illegitimate daughter of the Simon family, immediately went to Peter's territory to visit Sunan and express her respect and obedience to him.

Meanwhile, Father Louis of the Peter family and the lawyers working for the Peter family immediately found various legal grounds and religious support that would favor Preeb Simon's succession to the title, and wrote a letter to apply for the Storm Royal Family to bestow the title.

Anyone with eyes to see can see that the Simon family is now a vassal of Su Nan.

Meanwhile, the Frank family visited Sunan again and reiterated their submission. From then on, these two territories became Sunan's vassal territories.

Inside the Peter family's castle, at the dining table, Su Nan looked at the disheveled Preb Simon and said with a gentle smile, "Simon, if you'd like, I can arrange to change your name. The name Preb... is indeed somewhat insulting..."

In the language of the Storm Kingdom, "Plebe" is a term specifically referring to a commoner of extremely low status. The fact that Baron Simon gave her this name shows how casually he did it, and even how he was deliberately insulting her.

Preeb Simon's eyes welled up with tears. No one had ever spoken to her so gently, no one had ever spoken to her with such respect.

"Thank you, Lord Sunan." Preebu Simon sat at the dining table, bowing respectfully to Sunan. "But it's alright. Even with this humble name, I will sit firmly on the title of Baron Simon, which those members of the Simon family dream of."

"My refusal is not out of disrespect for you."

"You know, that's not what I meant."

"My lord," said Preeb Simon, "do you know what those distant relatives of the Simon family, and my father's surviving wife, are saying about me now?"

"They called me a baron from a lowly background."

Preeb Simon smirked and said, "But no matter how much they curse me in private, I am the one who will inherit Simon's territory and title."

"They only deserve to curse me in private and expect me to retaliate, but that's impossible. It's fine if they insult me, but they can't insult my mother. My mother was only forced into that by that beast..."

"I am very grateful to you, Lord Sunan. You are the one who saved me from the abyss, and I will do whatever you ask of me in the future."

Su Nan smiled. "In that case, I won't force you to change your name."

"Preeb, I'm helping you because you're an exceptional person."

"The moment I saw you, I knew you were someone who could get things done. It wasn't because I pitied you, or for any other reason."

I chose you because you are very talented.

Preebu's face flushed red; she was completely absorbed in Su Nan's praise, and her eyes even welled up with tears.

Lord Su Nan was much gentler than she had imagined.

It's like a ray of winter sunshine.

How could those idiots in the Simon family possibly think that Lord Su Nan is a terrifying and sinister person?

Su Nan suddenly changed the subject. "So, Preeb, what I need are capable allies, not incompetent servants. So, Miss Preeb, please believe in yourself."

"You are capable of being Baron Simon."

"I said that."

Preebu Simon stood up and bowed to Sunan, saying, "You are right, Lord Sunan."

"I will certainly keep your words in mind and will never forget your instructions."

"Lord Warwick, I have instructed the Simon family's subordinates to set up travel permits in Simon Territory. Our current role in Simon Territory is to protect Peter Territory and act as a filter to prevent dangerous or suspicious individuals from entering."

Su Nan nodded slightly and then left the table. Blom had told him through the wolf pack effect that they were ready to convert thirty ordinary werewolves, and he needed to go to the site to ensure that nothing went wrong.

In addition, within these three days, he has created a new werewolf subspecies potion, which can be used to further strengthen the all-round reconnaissance and defense system in his territory.

……

After leaving the castle, Su Nan stood in front of the wolf house and muttered to himself, "If I just give Preeb Simon a good compliment, she'll become very motivated."

"She's a very lovely girl, but she's too young to show her true abilities yet. She needs to grow. Suppressing her will only prevent her from growing, so I'll just praise her a little."

This also makes it easier to obtain her unwavering loyalty.

Sometimes, it's not that Su Nan doesn't know how to handle interpersonal relationships, but rather that she doesn't care and sees no need for them.

As a wizard, his learning ability far surpasses that of ordinary people, so how could he not know a little bit about managing subordinates?

In front of the wolf house, veteran Blom had already fed the thirty newly-adult werewolf potions of different branches to the hounds.

I currently have thirty super werewolf messengers, nine super werewolf deacons, two mutated werewolves (Wolf Big and Wolf Two), and one mutated werewolf deacon (Wolf Three).

There are a total of forty-two werewolves that were transformed from hunting dogs.

But now, with the howling of wolves echoing throughout the wolf house, another thirty werewolves, transformed from hunting dogs, have joined their werewolf pack.

The discarded hunting dogs could only listen to the howling of wolves and whimper in fear.

Of these thirty new ordinary werewolves, twenty were transformed into ordinary werewolf messengers, and ten were transformed into werewolf deacons.

In this way, he would have twenty ordinary werewolf messengers, thirty super werewolf messengers, two mutated werewolf messengers equivalent to the first-class wizard apprentice level, ten ordinary werewolf deacons, nine super werewolf deacons, and one mutated werewolf deacon.

Due to the hounds transforming into werewolves, there are now a total of seventy-two!

This greatly increases the strategic options available to Su Nan, such as assigning a certain number of werewolves to patrol Maple Leaf Town.

Meanwhile, Su Nan also commissioned Solon to create one hundred plaster gargoyles in one go, in the form of cannon fodder.

To prevent Solon from working himself to death, Su Nan repeatedly emphasized that there was no need to pursue high artistic quality, and that the plaster gargoyles could be made more ordinary this time.

Even if you just make a mold, make a plaster gargoyle first, and then copy the other ninety-nine, that would work.

However, Su Nan was somewhat uncertain whether someone like Solon would intentionally lower the quality of his artwork.

Perhaps for this kind of high-volume work, I should have Solon design the blueprints and then have the ordinary stonemasons in the territory build according to the blueprints.

Since the primary emotion of these werewolves transformed from hounds is loyalty to Su Nan, their loyalty to Su Nan increases more than tenfold after the transformation.

Thirty werewolf messengers wagged their tails, each hoping that Su Nan would pat their wolf heads.

Unfortunately, Su Nan's attention is now focused on the eight-headed, black and white sheepdog puppies that Blom recently bought in Maple Leaf Town. They look like Border Collies.

His new werewolf subspecies is the [Werewolf Inspector].

One type doesn't focus on physical or reconnaissance enhancement, but rather on brain enhancement. Although its command abilities cannot compare to those of advanced werewolves or werewolf leaders transformed from humans, since its predecessor was merely a hunting dog.

However, strengthening the brain is a more subtle branch—the ability to integrate and synthesize information.

This means that the werewolf inspector will be able to organize and simplify repetitive information from the information obtained by the werewolf pack effect, which has grown to more than twenty werewolf deacons, and then pass it on to higher-ranking werewolves and werewolf leaders.

With the increase in the number of werewolf deacons, the amount of information to be processed has also increased, far exceeding the original capacity for simply commanding the wolf pack. This has created a redundant information burden on Sunan, Warwick, and Pera in terms of command.

Therefore, Su Nan needs to create a subspecies of werewolf inspectors to process the information detected by the werewolf deacons and simplify the information, so that high-ranking werewolves, werewolf leaders, and werewolf warriors can manipulate the wolf pack more easily and quickly!

Meanwhile, the Werewolf Inspector is expected to provide ordinary werewolves with various other status support capabilities, such as howling to motivate them.

Su Nan even used the [Aura Magic] he had seen in the Oak Wizard's library to apply to the werewolf inspectors.

However, the eight sheepdogs I adopted are not yet grown up, so I can only wait until they are grown up before conducting performance tests.

Meanwhile, within these three days, Su Nan had increased his mental strength to 52 by taking two kinds of magical potions that enhance mental strength, and had also learned the first-class wizard apprentice level spell of the Oak Wizard, the "All Plants and Trees Are Soldiers" spell.

Through a large amount of mental energy provided by mental energy potions, he reconstructed two four-dimensional rune systems in his mind in a very short time, reaching the level expected of a first-class wizard apprentice.

However, in reality, it hasn't quite caught up with my current skill level.

After all, during the period of taking medication for abortion, he had already increased his mental strength by more than two times in the past month or so...

Regardless of the progress of spell models and meditation techniques, I have already moved beyond the level of a novice first-class wizard apprentice and have at least reached the intermediate level.

The reason I've progressed so quickly is twofold: firstly, I've been consuming a lot of magical potions, and secondly, I've received the inheritance of a formal wizard.

Most first-class wizard apprentices do not have such abundant resources.
