Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 195 The Second Storm King Was Captured

Two days later.

In the laboratory in Peter's main city, Su Nan only created six Arcane Blink Rings and five Arcane Shield Rings.

After all, the bloodline of arcane sorcerers is limited.

Southern Jiangsu is prepared to take good care of those Zhuoer people.

Alternatively, they could cultivate scarabs specifically for extracting arcane bloodlines in the future.

Otherwise, if his enemies found out the source of the materials for his arcane rings and assassinated all the drow under his command, wouldn't he be unable to make arcane rings?

Su Nan kept one Arcane Blink Ring for himself, and then distributed one Arcane Blink Ring and one Arcane Shield Ring to each of Brom, Warwick, Wolf One, Wolf Two, and Wolf Three.

These two arcane rings are extremely valuable for enhancing melee combat capabilities.

With Arcane Blink, the Shadow Worgen's combat power will be significantly enhanced.

In his heart, Su Nan was also very grateful to the underground escapist wizard alliance for jointly developing this arcane magic system.

Just as the underground world in southern Jiangsu was developing rapidly, the political landscape of the surface world was also undergoing tremendous changes.

First, the new king of the Storm Royal Family was once again captured on the battlefield by Grass King Carloyan.

The Bulgars and the Grass King have already captured two Storm Kings.

If this continues, the father and son, along with Grass King Carlo Yang, could all get together for a mahjong game!

Meanwhile, Grass King Carloyan launched his third large-scale raid on the Storm Kingdom.

Carloyan claimed that he received help from a mysterious force, but everyone had guesses about what this mysterious force was, but no one was sure.

The new king of the Storm Kingdom is the son of the previous king and the grandson of the king before that.

He is only one year older than Su Nan, having just turned eighteen this year, and has basically never been on the battlefield independently before.

He had very low prestige in the military and the church.

The Storm Nobles didn't think much of him.

Duke Thessalonian was overjoyed with the outcome. Relying on his status as a relative by marriage to the new king, he wanted to enter the capital of the Storm Kingdom to "help" the excessively young new king.

As it turned out, his happiness didn't last long.

The Bulgars finally couldn't hold back and began to plunder and loot the Duchy of Thessaloniki, which had suffered relatively little damage. They happened to encounter the Duke of Thessaloniki, who was preparing to attack the main force of Stormwind Keep, the capital of the Storm Kingdom.

The two sides clashed, and the result was a major defeat for the army of the Duke of Salonica.

He could only hide in his castle and refused to go out to fight again.

In this way, the royal family of the Storm Kingdom is temporarily no longer at risk of being overthrown.

However, the entire Storm Kingdom was plunged into a huge crisis.

Because the Nicomedia Empire received an invitation from the Grass King Carloyan, their emperor gathered 30,000 knights and wanted to attack the Storm Kingdom from the east, while the Bulgars attacked from the west.

In this way, they can encircle the Storm Kingdom from both sides, deliver a devastating blow, and drive the Storm Lords out of this land and back to their homeland.

In short, the Storm Kingdom was in a precarious situation.

The situation is becoming increasingly chaotic.

Moreover, it's not just the Storm Kingdom that's in a state of chaos right now; the situation in the Southern Thrace Military District has also become delicate.

Primarily the Samori family of the Samori Countate in the Southern Thrace Military District, they finally succumbed to the civilian riots.

They set sail and sailed to an island in the Naxos archipelago that belonged to their family.

They claimed to be going there to escape the summer heat.

He merely left his army and knights in the territory, barely maintaining the rule of the Earl of Samori.

Among the riotous commoners of the God of Law, many knights of law have inexplicably emerged. Some commoners even claim that they have received divine revelation from the God of Law, and that a "saint" belonging to the God of Law has descended upon this chaotic world.

The Saint prophesied that the world will become even more chaotic in the future, and only by joining the new church of the God of Law can one protect oneself.

The God of Law has sent his newest prophet to earth to preach anew. His apostle has returned after two hundred million days to lead the empire on the path to resurrection!

As a result, in the southern part of the Southern Thrace military district, as well as in many territories of the Nicopolis military district and the Attica military district, civilians began to respond to the call and secretly join the new church of the God of the Law.

In short, the riots that broke out in the territory of the Earl of Samori showed no signs of abating despite the escape of the Earl of Samori's family.

This riot even threatened to spread to all 21 military districts of the Storm Kingdom.

However, the northern part of the South Serre Military District is a force composed of seven baronies with Count Peter's territory at its core. This force acts like a stabilizing pillar, simultaneously blocking the Bulgars from moving south and preventing religious conflicts from spreading north.

This directly divided the two crises in the Storm Kingdom into two regional crises.

The inhabitants near Peter's territory, thanks to the clean and efficient administration, had no desire to return to the memories of 58 years ago, to the Eastern human empire where various warlords fought each other. The Bulgars, still wary of Peter's territory after their previous defeat, dared not venture south rashly.

In the surface world, at Peter Castle, the debt collector belonging to the Storm Royal Family has finally arrived in Peter to collect debts.

In the main hall of Peterhof Castle, the white-bearded debtor looked somewhat nervously at Sunan Peter and Mr. Warwick.

A year and a half ago, he could still stand high and mighty, demanding that the Peter family pay off the royal debts, but now, the situation has changed.

The royal family lost two kings in the crisis, while the Peter family became the Earl of Storm, and Maple Leaf Town became the most important city in the central part of the Storm Kingdom.

Now that Su Nan has acquired an underground gold mine, he can act as arrogantly as the Othello family did back then.

They'll throw money at the problem and build a commercial city!

Gold and silver mines excavated from the underground world were continuously transported up, and caravans and customers were given generous subsidies to attract them and cultivate their habit of trading in Maple Leaf City.

At the same time, the stable environment of Peter's territory did indeed attract a large number of merchants.

Even the Platinum Republic has begun to truly value Maple Leaf Town from a commercial perspective, especially now, with the Storm Kingdom facing turbulent times.

The Peter family has proven to the world time and again that chaos can occur anywhere, but not in Peter's territory.

If this happens a few more times, Peter's Territory and Maple Leaf Town will attract more and more investors.

The total population of Maple Leaf Town has now exceeded 40,000, and it is still increasing.

In the Storm Kingdom, a city is defined as having a population of over 50,000, and a large city as having a population of over 100,000.

Meanwhile, the underground city of Peter in southern Jiangsu was transformed into a city dedicated to the development of metal processing and smelting, with countless slave laborers serving as free labor.

However, southern Jiangsu still faces the challenge of dealing with organisms in etheric black holes.

If all else fails, Sunan is prepared to throw a group of disobedient slaves down there, or if Bulgaria and other forces dare to attack his territory, he will capture them and throw them into the ethereal black hole below Peter's main city.

Whether it's the etheric black hole creatures or the "gate," I may not be able to deal with them until I become a formal wizard.

The debtor from Stormwind Keep finally revealed his purpose. "Lord Earl Peter, we still hope you can honor the contract and at least return our principal of 30,000 Stormgold."

"Interest can be cancelled."

"For the sake of the old Baron... no, I mean the old Earl, and for the sake of our good friendship with the royal family. Our royal family is currently in dire need of money."

"We hope you can return this portion of the money to us. If possible, the royal family would also like to... borrow some more money."

"We can use some buildings in Stormwind Keep and some historical treasures as collateral. If we fail to repay the debt on time, those collateral can belong to the Peter family."

The debtor carefully chose his words; Count Storm was already a big shot in the kingdom.

It is the most important noble rank in the Storm Kingdom's noble system.

After all, a duke-level noble generally means that they are basically independent, only nominally loyal to the Storm King. That is, an independent duchy within the Storm Kingdom.

Standing behind Su Nan, Warwick, dressed impeccably, coughed. "Mr. Tariq."

"That's not what you said when you came to Peter's territory."

"If your tone had been even half as gentle as it is now, it would have been much more helpful in your current situation."

Tariq sighed and said bitterly, "Everyone has moments of weakness, but many people never realize it. I can only apologize for my previous actions."

"But this is a moment of life or death for the Storm Kingdom. The royal family does not have enough funds to recruit soldiers. I beg your support..."
