Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 14 Mental Power Breakthrough 10

In the attic, Su Nan opened the virtual machine again to test whether he could successfully transform into a werewolf.

He took a deep breath, feeling better than ever before. Then his body rapidly grew larger, his muscles bulged and gleamed with a metallic sheen, and his pupils turned into golden rings.

That was the light of the full moon.

It is the light during a lunar eclipse.

This is also why werewolves can possess an imperfect immortality.

Standing by the castle window, Su Nan easily saw the tenant farmers farming on the slope below the castle, a place he couldn't usually see.

His own manor and castle were essentially located on a small hill.

There are some farmlands on the hillside and at the foot of the hill.

These farmlands are all their own land.

However, I don't have to take responsibility for these trivial matters.

The old steward, Warwick, would distribute the land to some tenants so that they could farm on their own land.

The feeling of being moved by enhanced facial features is wonderful.

In southern Jiangsu, one can even see the veins on the leaves of a tree fifty meters away.

As his golden, ring-shaped pupils dilated or shrank, his field of vision rapidly changed.

At the same time, Su Nan also realized that he had amazing hearing. Now, standing in the attic, he could hear the footsteps of a third of the servants in the castle and judge whether they were female or male servants by the weight of their footsteps.

With proper training, he can also accurately identify a person by listening to their footsteps.

Similarly, my sense of smell was greatly enhanced.

Su Nan opened his mouth and breathed softly, sensing the various scent molecules in the air. He seemed to be able to smell emotions and feel the feelings of the tenants working hard in the fields a hundred meters away.

"The data panel can't display complete information, after all, I haven't connected the AI ​​to a dedicated detection device," Su Nan thought. "The werewolf's enhancements to his senses, especially his sense of smell and hearing, should surpass those of the Storm Knight."

"A werewolf's sense of smell can even detect hormones and other hormonal substances in the air, allowing them to intuitively sense the other person's vague emotions."

Su Nan maintained his leader-type werewolf state and activated the wolf pack effect.

He discovered that, unlike when he remained a pure-blooded human and used the werewolf effect as a half-wizard, it was different.

At that time, it was nothing more than a simple, weak magical connection, similar to a weak mental connection.

However, when he tried to use the pack effect in his leader-type werewolf state, he found that his pack effect was strengthened.

He could sense the emotions of the werewolves in his pack, whether it was anger or joy. He could also use this raw emotional connection to convey his own emotions to each member of the pack.

To express oneself without using language.

Meanwhile, Su Nan tried to transfer his magic to other werewolves within this emotional connection, and surprisingly, the transfer resulted in almost no loss of magic power.

His magic was thus transferred to a werewolf messenger guarding a corner of the manor.

Although the werewolf messenger maintained its hound-like form during the day, its pupils suddenly turned into golden rings, the color of which became even deeper.

At the same time, Su Nan discovered that his strengthened wolf pack effect seemed to have become automated.

When he wants to share his mana, he will automatically share his mana with the werewolf courier who is in the worst condition.

At the same time, when he wants to draw mana from the wolf pack, he will prioritize drawing some from the werewolf messengers who are in better condition.

Originally, it would have taken years of practice to master this skill, but the AI ​​altered the potion formula, allowing Su Nan to use the enhanced wolf pack effect with great ease.

It saves a lot of unnecessary effort and simplifies many operations in various small details.

Su Nan can even perform some of the fancy moves that are impossible for a pure-blooded human.

He tried to use the wolf pack effect to allow the three werewolf messengers to share their magic power at the level of the wolf pack effect, and successfully concentrated the magic power of the three werewolf messengers into one werewolf messenger.

Su Nan noticed that the werewolf messenger's abilities had increased by about half, and its recovery ability and speed had also greatly improved.

Su Nan said, "AI, calculate the combined power of the three werewolf messengers and their respective data."

[Werewolf Messenger Enhanced Version]

【Strength: 1.7】

【Speed: 2.6】

[Physical Fitness: 1.7]

[Racial skills have been enhanced, with the biggest improvement likely being the triple, flawed, low-level undead ability, which can increase resistance to a certain force (assuming the ability to destroy the undead, or the damage that fire and silver inflict on werewolves).]

Su Nan understood. It seemed that the werewolf courier's stats hadn't improved that much, but actually, his skill resistance had been tripled.

Su Nan looked at his left hand and discovered that even when he transformed into a leader-type werewolf skilled at handling pack dynamics, the sacrificial hand on his left hand could still be used normally.

This means that the combination he had previously envisioned—using the werewolf's immortality and the sacrificial ability of the Hand of Sacrifice—has become a real possibility.

I don't know what level of power I am in the real wizarding world right now.

Su Nan said, "AI, calculate whether my werewolf messenger, high-level werewolf, my commander, my sacrificial hand, and a large amount of sleep potion are enough to deal with the two knights."

Sir Guts Pasha should have joined forces with other knights, and besides, he has taken in many extraordinary individuals.

Over the years, he has acted very arbitrarily. His territory is full of talented people, and other lords basically treat him as a baron.

Based on previous estimates of the Storm Knight template's combat strength, your chances of winning against him with your entire existing werewolf army are 89%. If he has a large army alongside him, your chances of winning are 78%.

However, if he knew that fire and pure silver werewolves were their bane, the situation would be quite different.

Your win rate will drop to 57%.

If a second Stormrider appears by his side, and assuming he fully supports your enemy, your win rate will drop further, generally below 35%.

All of this assumes that the Storm Knight has no special abilities. They possess strength three times that of an ordinary human; due to their unique nature, their agility would be 3.5.

Su Nan began to think.

Warwick, the old butler, was just an ordinary man with only a little knowledge of knighthood, and Robert was just a knight's squire.

Because Maple Leaf Town and the three official knights deliberately blocked and concealed information from him, Su Nan's understanding of the official knights cannot be said to be very in-depth.

Even he himself wasn't sure if the Storm Knight had anything special.

But it probably doesn't have any magic or witchcraft abilities.

Because this world, apart from wizards, is quite similar to the medieval world of my previous life. The church doesn't have priests or pastors, and they can't perform any kind of divine magic.

In church scriptures, healing and resurrecting others are abilities that only gods possess.

Su Nan frowned. This won't work.

Although it's unlikely that any official knight would truly go all out to help Guts Pasha, and Guts Pasha doesn't know the weaknesses of his werewolf army, what I want is absolute certainty.

After all, I'm not a reckless fool. There's no need for me to rush out and put myself in pointless danger, like a cockfighting.

Every step you take can be made absolutely foolproof.

Continuing to research potions and strengthen oneself is the fundamental solution.

Su Nan said, "AI, analyze the possibilities for increasing the werewolf army now."

[It's possible. Since you've obtained the recipe for the Sacrificial Hand potion, we can certainly modify it, extract several key elements, and then apply this technology to the werewolf army.]

The Sacrificial Hand potion is perfectly suited to the werewolf's immortality.

However, the Hand of Sacrifice potion requires sufficient mental energy to use, and werewolves do not meet this requirement. Therefore, a new potion can be designed based on the Hand of Sacrifice potion recipe to convert the loss of life points into physical strength and speed.

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. "Then let's name it 'Rage Potion'."

That sounds a lot like a berserker.

Su Nan said, "Begin the calculations. At the same time, continue the calculations for the +2 Mental Strength Enhancement Potion formula."

Su Nan casually picked up a bottle of Mental Enhancement Potion +1, drank it, and simultaneously shut down the virtual machine, reverting to a pure-blooded human.

But suddenly, after drinking the potion, he felt his mental energy was more active than ever before. At the same time, he tried to put the empty glass bottle on the wooden table, but the empty glass bottle actually passed through the wooden table.

The wooden table and empty glass bottles were stacked together.

Su Nan was stunned. "AI, analyze the current situation. What happened to me?"

[Your mental strength has broken through to 10. Your mental strength is too active. According to previous predictions, after mental strength reaches 10, something specific will happen, which is particularly important to wizards. What you are seeing now is very likely an illusion. Warning, your mental strength is still increasing and becoming more active.]

[Solution...]

Su Nan sensed that some kind of force was calling to him from afar, but the scenery around him was completely distorted, and everything seemed to overlap.
