Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 130 News of the Witches' Gathering and the Noble Sword Olaf

Regarding the legacy of the Oak Wizard, about half of it has already been digested.

The part that cannot be digested needs to be digested until one becomes a first-level wizard, or further improved to the level of a senior first-class wizard apprentice.

For example, his magic pumpkins, magic peas, and fairy roses.

It's not that it can't be used now, but it would be a waste to use it.

At the same time, Su Nan finally figured out why there were areas within the Oak Wizard's labyrinth where the flow of time could be accelerated.

This is not, in essence, a true acceleration of time.

Rather, it's a clever trick to alter the flow of time in certain regions of subspace.

The Oak Wizard used the Life Tree Sapling in the Wizard Tower to inject a large amount of life energy into the subspace soil in a short period of time, causing an energy surplus in that subspace soil area, and then guided the area to accelerate time.

This is a special method that requires the use of a Life Tree Seedling and can only be used within a relatively small subspace.

Because if the subspace is too large, or if it is within the prime material plane, this level of life energy is practically nothing.

It is simply impossible for this to cause an energy surplus.

Having learned the principle, Su Nan abandoned the idea of ​​using this time-accelerating magic on the werewolf group, since it wasn't actually accelerating time.

The AI ​​is currently analyzing the three first-level spells left behind by the Oak Wizard: [Oak Wizard's Treant Arrow], [Neclipse Reversal Spell], and [Oak Armor].

Unfortunately, these are all first-level spells.

Before becoming a first-class wizard, Su Nan found it difficult to learn and use these spells, and could only extract the parts that he could use.

Su Nan is like facing a vast ocean, but he can only dig out a part of it each time.

Nevertheless, these resources still greatly promoted the magic system of potions in Su Nan.

It's like throwing a large amount of precious fuel into a furnace.

The flames inside the furnace will grow ever stronger.

After three more days of study, Su Nan's mental strength increased to 55, which was close to the limit of the two magical potions that could rapidly increase mental strength.

That day, Sunan instructed Pera to dismiss all the maids on the third floor of Peterhof Castle, sending them to the servants' quarters. Sunan, meanwhile, summoned Borgia Frederick from his study.

Su Nan smiled at him and said, "Are you getting impatient, my friend?"

Borgia Frederick said, “Sunan, my friend, I need to borrow some money. I’m in a hurry to get back to Achaia, and it really can’t be delayed any longer. I’ve already wasted more than a month here.”

"I want to go back to prevent everything I have from being taken away."

"I……"

Su Nan shook his head and advised him, "Sometimes, it's better not to be there than to rush to be there."

"You're in too much of a hurry, my friend."

Borgia Frederick calmed down somewhat, because Sunan had advised him in the same way a few days earlier. As a result, he spent several days in Peter's family castle thinking about it, but still couldn't figure out why he couldn't rush back now.

Borgia asked Sunan, "Sunan, my friend, why can't I rush back now?"

Su Nan tapped the table with his fingers and said, "I'm asking you, does your father... the bishop, write a letter or something else to his people in Achaia every now and then to let them know that he is safe?"

Borgia nodded. "That's right. As agreed, they write every three months. And I also know the special format of their letters, the coded message at the beginning. The fire clay seal that keeps the letters intact is also the family heirloom necklace I'm wearing around my neck now."

"And... my father specifically trained me to imitate his handwriting..."

Borgia suddenly seemed to have just realized something, and looked at Su Nan in shock.

Su Nan tossed a blank letter onto the desk and slid it toward Borgia. "Your father really thought long-term for you."

"This will benefit our next plan. You write a letter back in your father's name, making others believe that your father is still alive. I've blocked the news, and the situation is so chaotic that no one will suspect anything."

Borgia's eyes widened, and he gave him a look that said, "Wow, you can do that?"

He never expected that Su Nan would be so bold as to lie through his teeth and treat so many dead people as if they were still alive.

Su Nan continued, "Even if you manage to borrow money to go back now, in everyone's eyes you'll just be a fugitive fleeing in panic, a stray dog. When you go back, you'll definitely be despised."

"You've already lost more than half the battle before you even started competing with your enemies for the bishop's position."

"But if you think about it another way, you can go back as a church hero."

Borgia was somewhat confused. He looked at Sunan and asked, "Me... can I really return to Achaia as a hero?"

Su Nan nodded earnestly and said, "Just package it properly."

"I will arrange for you to take a wizard's corpse back to report. So you can go back and tell the priests of the church in Achaia that your father, the bishop, encountered an evil wizard, and after a fierce battle, your father and the ten knights of the church died."

"And you, after a valiant battle, finally slew that wizard. You are not a stray dog; you are the next generation of Storm Church's rising star, who stepped forward and bravely killed the wizard after watching your father sacrifice himself for the church."

Borgia froze, then began to mutter to herself, "I am not a useless, stray dog; I am a rising star."

"I am the Star of Hope! I fight bravely for the church, the Star of Hope!"

Borgia suddenly yelled in the study. He subconsciously looked at Su Nan, feeling somewhat apologetic, but to his surprise, Su Nan looked at him very tolerantly.

Su Nan said to him, "That's right. You have to have that kind of belief."

"Actually, many things are easier to handle if you consider them from a perspective that is more advantageous to yourself. Your father was indeed killed by a wizard."

"And you did indeed survive the wizard's clutches. If I give you a corpse that looks just like a wizard's, who can say anything? Isn't that the truth? Borgia, I believe you are a devout priest, the best servant of the Storm God. Please trust my judgment of you."

"A man like you must become a bishop; no one but you is worthy."

Borgia was so moved she almost cried. "Sunan, my friend. You're my savior. I never even thought of these things before."

"If I were to become bishop, anyone who dared to criticize you in the slightest would be made a target of public condemnation by me through my religious and moral authority!"

After her initial excitement, Borgia began to realize something. "But even so, I don't have an army. What if they assassinate me..."

Su Nan calmly said, "Assassinating a hero of the Church will be cursed by the Storm God. Moreover, I have sent my bodyguard, a senior official Storm Knight named Blom, back to your family to protect you until you become a bishop."

"At the same time, I will lend you some soldiers and help you build momentum."

Blom emerged from behind the bookshelves in the study. He glanced at Borgia with a hint of disdain, but tried his best to hide the disdain in his eyes.

Since Su Nan wants to support a bishop of the Storm Church, he will comply.

Borgia seemed a little too excited, or perhaps he had been preparing to present the treasure all along. He took a sword from his waist and handed it to Blom. "Thank you, Sunan."

"Mr. Blom, this is my family's heirloom sword, the 'Noble Sword Olaf'."

Su Nan suddenly looked up at Borgia in surprise. He never expected that the famous sword of the Storm Kingdom, the "Noble Sword Olaf", would be in the hands of Borgia's family.

This is really...

Legend has it that the famous sword, Olaf the Sword of Nobility, was the weapon of the powerful Storm Knight Olaf. The sword itself was blessed by the Storm God, and only knights of noble character could wield it.

The noble Storm Knight, Olaf, was a powerful knight who was active during the founding of the Storm Kingdom 58 years ago. Su Nan even suspected that he was a senior Grand Knight.

The noble Storm Knight, Olaf, once ventured deep into the ranks of the infidels, where he was surrounded by eight thousand infidel soldiers. With only his sword and his warhorse, he fought his way out, earning his formidable reputation and making a significant contribution to the Storm Knights' victory over the infidel coalition.

His breakout delayed the infidels' ability to assemble their army, leading to their eventual defeat as they divided their forces during the final battle.

Unexpectedly, Borgia actually carried such a valuable item with him; it seems he was seriously trying to win me over.

They might even resort to giving themselves precious gifts, a method with relatively low cost-effectiveness.

Sunan looked at Blom, indicating that he could accept it.

I've already had the AI ​​examine the sword. It's definitely not just for show. First of all, the forging process is excellent, and there's even a crystal inlaid on the ornate hilt.

Furthermore, the actual performance of this sword may exceed the materials used and the forging techniques employed.

This sword has extremely high hardness.

Perhaps it really was blessed by the Storm God, who knows?

Su Nan couldn't help but wonder if the church had many similar knightly swords blessed by the Storm God.

Using such a famous sword would surely increase the combat power of a werewolf warrior like Blom.

After Sunan finished arranging things for Borgia, Pera entered Sunan's study. The head maid, Pera, said, "Lord Sunan, I don't know if I should inform you about this. Because I think it's very likely that this is a... fraudster."

"A merchant who came to Maple Leaf Town from outside, after learning that you might enjoy hearing about strange tales, actually came to me and told me that three years ago he had encountered a gathering of witches trading with each other."

"He wants to sell you this strange tale in exchange for a certain amount of Storm Coins. Do you want to see him?"

Su Nan was casually tidying up his desk, organizing the territory decrees and documents, when he suddenly looked up at Pella and said, "Whether it's true or not, let's meet her first."
