Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 17 Upgrade the Werewolf Potion Plan

After telling Or his name, Su Nan explored the secret realm again and found that he could not get close to the mist.

Even when he simply stuck his finger into the fog, he had a strange feeling that he could no longer discern directions.

If he becomes completely immersed in it, he may well lose himself in it entirely.

The AI ​​analysis suggests that at least a first-class wizard apprentice, or 20 points of mental strength, is required to enter the fog and explore.

The AI, based on Orl, deduced that a first-class wizard apprentice must have a minimum mental strength of 20.

Because Su Nan had asked Or about the approximate level of his power, Or indicated that he was roughly equivalent to a first-class wizard apprentice in terms of power.

Su Nan looked with a hint of regret at the castle complex in the gray earth cemetery hidden in the mist.

He gleaned a lot of valuable insights simply from the Guardians of Or.

If one could enter this castle complex shrouded in mist, perhaps without inheriting the legacy of the Gray Earth Cemetery, one could use big data analysis to brute-force decipher many of the Gray Earth Cemetery's spells.

Therefore, we still need to get the AI ​​to complete the Mental Enhancement Potion +2 as soon as possible to improve our mental strength.

As for Maple Leaf Town, that's just a minor matter that I can easily take back once my power increases.

Strength is the key.

Following the method taught by Or, Su Nan left the secret realm using his mind, a process akin to opening a door within his own mind.

Meanwhile, he returned to the attic of his castle.

Sir Robert's squire asked Sunan with some concern, "My lord, where did you go just now?"

"I heard strange noises coming from your room, so I came in, but you weren't there at all. Then, the moment I turned around, you appeared right behind me."

Su Nan was slightly taken aback.

It seems that the secret realm cannot be equated with the spiritual world.

When one enters the secret realm, it is not one's spirit or soul that enters the secret realm, but rather one's entire body that enters the secret realm.

Su Nan said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

As a lord, he had no need to explain everything to his subordinates, so Robert simply nodded, then left the attic and carefully closed the door behind him.

It was the 57th year of the Storm Kingdom, near the end of summer.

After a month, Su Nan finally completed the formulas for the Fury Potion and the Wolf Pack Control Potion, and produced fifteen bottles of each.

Having accumulated experience from previously raiding Maple Leaf Town caravans, he saved himself the trouble of collecting resources.

The core herb of the Fury Potion is a shrub called Eleutherococcus senticosus.

The core ingredient of the potion that controls wolves is the claw of a wild wolf.

Each claw could make about two bottles of potion, so Sunan ordered his old butler Warwick to hunt down two wolves.

He had the werewolf messenger, the high werewolf, and himself all take both potions, while Su Nan himself also drank the Wolfsbane potion and the Steel Claw potion.

In this way, all his werewolves gained four additional skills—

Steel Claw

Wolfsbane

Control the wolves

furious.

Inside the attic, Su Nan said, "AI, what's the current progress of the Super Werewolf Potion? The progress of the Mental Strength Enhancement Potion is +2, and the progress of the Ghost Potion is also progressing."

[Super Werewolf Potion Progress Calculation: Currently 8%]

[Mental Strength Enhancement Potion +2, estimated progress: currently 37%]

[The progress of the Ghostly Potion is currently 67%]

[If we could obtain more information about wizards, it might speed up the calculation process.]

Su Nan nodded, acknowledging the current progress.

The Super Werewolf Potion was created after they had contact with Or and analyzed Or's data in reverse. Combined with their current status as second-class wizard apprentices, they now had the possibility of further enhancing the Werewolf Potion.

Super Werewolf is a potion that comprehensively enhances the existing attributes of werewolves.

Of course, it's not even a prototype yet.

This is essentially a major boost to the entire werewolf curse conversion potion, hence the deduction speed is very slow.

After all, it took Su Nan several years to deduce from scratch how the werewolf curse could be transformed into a magic potion.

During this time, Su Nan had transformed all his spiritual energy into magical power by refining magic potions.

His current mental strength is 10.2, and his magical strength is also 10.2.

If you transform into the werewolf leader, your mental strength will become 10.7 and your mana will also become 10.7.

The reason why his mental strength progress has been so slow over the past month is that after he broke through to mental strength level 10, the effect of the +1 mental strength enhancement potion on him became much smaller.

Su Nan had the AI ​​calculate that the +1 to mental strength enhancement potion would at most raise his mental strength to 15, and the closer he got to 15, the slower the rate of mental strength growth would be.

From his current perspective, Su Nan knew that his mental enhancement potion should be considered a work of mortal level, while the werewolf curse transformation potion should be considered a potion for a third-class wizard apprentice.

Therefore, the +2 to mental strength enhancement potion corresponds exactly to the level that a second-class wizard apprentice should have.

The same applies to the Super Werewolf Curse Transformation Potion.

Of course, this only considers the difficulty of production, the level of crafting, and the cost of materials used.

Because the difficulty and skill level of refining, and even the materials used, cannot absolutely represent the strength of the potion.

If the formula is good and the core theory is sophisticated enough, then the potions made by a third-class wizard apprentice may not be inferior to those made by a first-class wizard apprentice.

Southern Jiangsu is very confident in its AI system in this regard.

The core theories and formulas of the three series—Mental Enhancement Potion, Sleepy Potion, and Werewolf Potion—should be quite good.

Because Su Nan didn't know any other wizards, he wasn't sure about his current level among wizards.

But in any case, it seems he has taken a rather unconventional path.

He gains magical power from the process of making potions, so researching more potions will allow him to obtain even more powerful magical abilities.

Greater magical power means that more difficult potions can be made, and the AI ​​will have more options when performing calculations.

Su Nan left the attic and descended his castle, asking the AI, "What are the odds of my werewolf army winning against the Storm Knights?"

[The exact stats for Storm Knight's Prayer ability are currently unknown, but based on the available data, your army has a 100% win rate.]

This primarily adds the werewolf's rage ability and the ability to control wild wolves.

[Rage can double a werewolf's base stats; testing has shown it can reach up to double. Additionally, the surrounding area is inhabited by many ordinary wolves, thus granting the werewolf the ability to control ordinary wolves, significantly offsetting the advantage brought by the army under the command of a formal knight.]

Old butler Warwick approached Sunan. "Young master. Some guild leaders from Maple Leaf Town have fled to your castle with their families. Should we take them in?"

"But this will prematurely provoke Sir Guts Pasha..."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. "Do we need to worry about what Gus Pasha thinks? If he's unhappy, he's unhappy; I don't care."

"If he's so capable, he can just attack us."

With the current werewolf army, they basically don't need to care about the thoughts of a few official knights.

Even if they don't come looking for him, Su Nan still plans to go find them to test the current data of the werewolf army.

Su Nan stood at the castle window, watching the servants carrying large and small bags anxiously on the castle lawn, and the wealthy merchants and guild leaders of Maple Leaf Town in the carriages.

The servants sent by the old steward Warwick went over, and the guild leaders and wealthy merchants immediately left their wives and children, got off their carriages, and came forward to greet them.

"So, has Lord Su Nan agreed to take us in?"

"That devil Gus Pasha, the mayor will regret bringing that violent madman into the town. Now, only Lord Sunan as his nominal baron might still give him some pause."

"By the God of Storms above, that fellow pledged allegiance to Lord Su Nan under the witness of the God of Storms! Does he think he can disregard even the God of Storms?!"

The servant simply stated that Su Nan had agreed.

Immediately, these wealthy merchants and guild leaders breathed a sigh of relief and began to thank Su Nan.
