Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 185 The Witcher Who Looks Like a Rat

Inside the castle of Baron Simon's territory, three witchers stood before Preb Simon, led by Raphael Fisher and the witcher Selena.

Raphael said confidently to Preb Simon, "If you agree to help us, we can get rid of Sunan Peter for you."

"I might as well tell you. Sunan Peter is a wizard."

"This is why your father, Baron Simon, couldn't defeat him. Because he is a wizard cursed by the Storm God. He is unworthy to be the Storm Highlord. If you can help me, our family of witchers, who specialize in hunting wizards, will help you eliminate this wizard."

"And all you have to do is invite him to the ball at Simon Castle for us."

The witcher, Selena, looked pitifully at Preb Simon and said, "I feel sorry for you. My parents, too, were cursed and killed that very night simply because they glanced at a witch in the crowd."

"My parents didn't know what they had done wrong before they died."

I pity you.

"We are all victims of witchcraft."

Raphael Fisher glanced at the Witcher Selena. The selection criteria for Witchers were that they possessed magical talent and had become orphans because their parents or relatives had been killed by wizards.

Witchers will receive training under both the wizard and sorcerer systems.

In this era when wizards are so rare, it's reasonable to say that the selection criteria for witch hunters are too harsh. Unfortunately, there are still quite a few people who have been harmed by witches.

Raphael Fisher suddenly looked out the window. As a four-star warlock and a second-class wizard apprentice, he could clearly see the massive magical shield above Maple Leaf Town in Peter Territory in the distance.

His brows were deeply furrowed.

As a second-class wizard apprentice, he understood the meaning behind that unusually large magical shield and the level of magic required to achieve such a feat.

"I didn't even know that such a powerful wizard had appeared in the Storm Kingdom." Raphael Fisher frowned.

Was that a magical shield cast by the wizard himself?

That kind of gigantic magical shield is a bit too exaggerated.

Their style as witchers is to observe first and then act. He had observed for three months and thought he had designed a trap for three months, but when he saw the huge magical shield in the distance, he suddenly felt that his preparations might not be enough.

observe?

Why did a phenomenon that he had not observed before suddenly appear after three months of observation?

Is there something else that wizard is hiding?

Raphael Fisher suddenly wanted to abandon immediate action and continue to observe Su Nan until he could see Su Nan's true intentions before taking action.

"Luckily, I didn't set a trap immediately; now is not the time to act," Raphael Fisher thought. "It's impossible for someone to improve their magical speed so quickly in a short period, within a few months."

"I can only act after I've clearly observed their hand."

"This is the reason why we witchers are so successful—we draw a clear portrait of a wizard, understand his strengths and weaknesses, and then take action."

"Su Nan's strength lies in the large number of magically modified objects within his territory, and based on his past combat records, his own magical power is also considerable. However, his weakness is also that he owns a territory, which requires him to disperse his magical power to protect it."

"According to my original plan, I could have invited him to Baron Simon's territory, and at the same time launched an attack on Maple Leaf Town. While he was reinforcing Maple Leaf Town, I could have assassinated him in Baron Simon's territory."

"But that magical shield from before... the force I originally planned to use to attack Maple Leaf Town couldn't possibly break through it. I don't know how long that magical shield can last, what its weaknesses are, or its maximum strength."

Raphael Fisher said, "Yes, we can't attack now."

"However, forming an alliance with Baron Simon first is not a bad idea."

Raphael Fisher looked expectantly at Preeb Simon, who remained expressionless.

The Witcher Selena looked at her expectantly.

To everyone's surprise, Preeb Simon took a half step back and stood in front of her window, with the curtains billowing in the night wind behind him.

A full moon hangs in the sky outside the window.

Preb Simon sighed and said to the witcher Selena, "I don't know what you've been through. I feel sorry for your parents' deaths and I can also condemn that witch on your behalf."

"But... you've clearly misunderstood something."

"I was never, a victim of witchcraft persecution, of the poor Simon family."

"I am very grateful to Sunan Peter. I am even happier to know that he is a wizard."

Preebe Simon laughed and said, "Because I so despise nobles; in my eyes, nobles are far more terrifying than wizards."

The Witcher Selena looked at her with some incomprehension.

Shouldn't everyone hate wizards?

Raphael Fisher's eyes turned icy cold as he drew a hunting knife from his waist. "I see."

"Did you choose to remain loyal to Sunan Peter, even knowing he was a wizard?

"mortal."

Please be mindful of your choice.

"You have one last chance to back out."

Preeb Simon glanced at the hunting knife in his hand, then suddenly laughed. "This witcher, perhaps I don't have your ability to sneak into my bedroom in the middle of the night. But I still have basic logical thinking skills."

"You're really funny."

"How can you use force to threaten a baron who was originally penniless and whose nobility was granted to him by Sunan Peter?"

"You keep saying you hate wizards, but when you're angry, you call me a mortal."

"In your heart, what is the difference between you and a wizard?"

Raphael Fisher was enraged. "Insolence! In that case, we might as well kill you and replace you with Baron Simon, who would be more beneficial to us."

He was about to rush forward when his expression suddenly changed, and he looked out of the castle window. "It's Sunan's werewolves. Damn it, how did they discover our presence at this time?"

"withdraw."

The next moment, three magical energy shuttles floated in through the window; they contained the magical power of the sleeping potion, which had undergone three sublimations.

This was Su Nan using a remote potion injection technique through the rapidly approaching body of the super werewolf butler.

Clearly, given the nature of the demon hunters, once they realized they hadn't figured out Su Nan's true strength, they obviously didn't dare to fight him head-on.

Therefore, the first reaction of these witchers was to run away.

However, Su Nan's remote potion injection still hit one of the three witchers, a female witcher.

Even though these three witchers used a special stealth spell from the energy world to pass through the wall and leave the original spot, the female witcher was still under a sleeping spell and fell into a slumber expected to last at least fifty years.

Su Nan's voice drifted in from outside the castle window. "Rat people, you all run away when you see me. Am I that scary?"

"A bunch of rats in the gutter."

"My territory is a forbidden zone where you are not allowed to sneak in."

Raphael Fisher, who was carrying the unconscious female witcher as he fled, was nearly driven mad by Su Nan. They were a prestigious witcher family that specialized in hunting wizards!

They've never been treated like this before.

In the wizard's eyes, it had turned into a rat-man!

Su Nan, controlling the super werewolf butler, said to Plebe Simon, who was standing to the side, stunned as a huge werewolf entered her bedroom, "I already know about your loyalty."

"Don't worry, I'll put you under my protection."

Preebue Simon's eyes lit up immediately. "Is that Mr. Sunan Peter?!"
