Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 197 Vampires in the Church Cemetery

On the first floor of Peterhof Castle, as soon as Borgia saw Sunan, she rushed over as if she had found a savior and said, "My best friend, Sunan, I can only ask you for help."

"Only you can help me with this. Strange things have been happening at the church cemetery, the holy site of the Achaia parish church."

Su Nan glanced at the hand that was gripping his sleeve, and Borgia immediately released his grip, ceasing his inappropriate behavior.

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. "What happened now? Does the Duke of Achaia, the duchy where the branch church is located, refuse to help you?"

Borgia Frederick immediately began to complain to Sunan about the incompetence of the Duke of Achaea. "He did help me, though. But his army was completely useless."

"Here's the situation."

"According to religious tradition, all graves are concentrated in the cemetery designated by the church. However, seven days ago, a hole suddenly collapsed in the center of the cemetery of the Achaean branch church, and a monster stole the body of Joseph, the patron saint of the Storm Church, which was placed in the center of the cemetery."

"Someone saw it with their own eyes; it was a vampire in the darkness, with fangs, scarlet eyes, blood-covered skin, and bat wings..."

Immediately, everyone in the reception room turned to look at Borgia.

Su Nan looked at him in surprise, and at the same time looked at the head maid, Pera, behind him. Pera had been digesting the effects of the drug on the mutated werewolf who had undergone three sublimations for almost half a year.

However, Su Nan realized that she was nearing her limit, so he was not going to prepare the Shadow Werewolf Potion for her fourth ascension for the time being.

Pera quietly nodded to Sunan, confirming that the vampire figure Borgia had seen in the district church was real.

"I'm afraid that with the return of the magical tide, those monsters that had vanished from history are gradually returning," Su Nan thought. "But why are they trying to steal the corpse of the Storm Church's patron saint?"

"etc……"

"The patron saint of the Church was a saint in life. Does that mean the corpse of a saint has some special effect on vampires?"

No wonder Su Nan became serious. Because of the werewolves, Su Nan was also particularly interested in the vampires, the former enemies of the werewolves, as recorded in the ancient books.

It's even more unclear what the vampires' attitude will be towards their werewolf pack.

It's unclear who this group of vampires, who suddenly appeared on the Achaean Peninsula, is after, or how powerful they are.

Sunan asked Borgia, "Since a large pit appeared in the cemetery, those vampires—if they really exist—could very well have entered the cemetery through that pit. Have you sent people to investigate that pit in the cemetery?"

"You became a bishop in the name of the hero who killed the wizard. If this kind of thing is not resolved as soon as possible, it will greatly damage your prestige."

Su Nan pondered the matter and wondered if this was yet another conspiracy targeting the position of Bishop of Borgia.

That body of the patron saint might be something completely insignificant.

Borgia explained, "Duke Achaia and I both sent men to investigate, but none of the soldiers, or even the knights, who went into that pit returned to the surface."

"I also heard the knight who had just gone in scream, and then he was dragged away by something. I could only see some blood at the bottom of the pit."

"Those despicable vampires actually attacked the church's cemetery. But I don't have enough control over the branch church yet. I can't send the branch church's elite soldiers and knights into that pit to investigate for me; on the contrary, some people are even preparing to laugh at me."

Just as Su Nan was about to speak, the AI ​​that had been deducing the formula for the Azure Potion suddenly reacted.

[A hint has been received; the final independent ingredient for the Azure Elixir has been determined: the spiritual essence contained within the body of the patron saint of the Storm Church!]

[Based on deduction, the body of the patron saint retains some spiritual essence from the path of the Storm God. This essence can help wizards break through the limits of the human soul.]

[It is predicted that even if the final ingredient of the Azure Elixir is not the corpse of the patron saint, using the patron saint's corpse as a substitute will only enhance the potion's efficacy.]

Su Nan's expression became very subtle.

Unexpectedly, the final ingredient in the Azure Elixir was the spirit of the saint's corpse.

Finding the body of the patron saint was also a very important matter for me.

You can brew some Azure Potions for yourself, and keep most of them for yourself and your subordinates, such as Vasilyan.

In return, I can give the Petrifying Witch a bottle of Azure Potion.

However, after learning that the patron saint's spirituality was helpful to all wizards, Su Nan began to wonder if these vampires were related to wizards.

It seems that a trip is indeed necessary.

Anyway, there are still two weeks left until the end of the month, and the witches' gathering will only be held on the last day of each month.

Moreover, it would be good to refine the Azure Potion before attending the next witches' gathering.

Thinking of this, Su Nan comforted Borgia and pulled him to sit down on a log chair in front of the fireplace. "Don't worry."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, your position as bishop is as stable as a rock, and there won't be any problems."

"I will go with you to the Achaean Peninsula to help you find the body of your patron saint."

Pera said to Borgia, "See, Mr. Borgia, I told you my master had a way to solve your problem. You've been living in fear every day along the way."

"This is really unnecessary."

However, Pera didn't mind at all; she rediscovered the feeling she had when she was busy working with Mr. Warwick to deal with the crisis facing the Peter family.

Borgia seemed less anxious and relaxed. "That's great, Sunan. I feel at ease with you helping me."

Borgia sometimes felt that he was too lucky.

In the first half of his life, he had his father's help; now, in the second half of his life, he seems to have found a powerful patron again...

Moreover, he found this new backer through his own efforts!

Borgia even felt that her specialty might be finding powerful backers.

Su Nan said, "But once we find the body of our patron saint, could I spend some time alone with him? I want to pay homage to the saint's holiness."

Borgia paused for a moment, then gave Sunan a reassuring look. "Alright, this is just a small request. We're like family. Even if you take the patron saint's body back to Peter's territory for several months, it won't matter."

Su Nan nodded.

That's good.

In this way, one can safely extract the spiritual essence from the body of the patron saint.

This can be considered one of the benefits of supporting a bishop; otherwise, given the Church's stingy nature, it would be extremely difficult for them to have the relics of their patron saint kept alone for a period of time.

Borgia relaxed and then noticed that there were two other strangers in the room.

Borgia raised an eyebrow curiously. "Sunan, who are these two people...?"

Sunan Peter said "Oh," and then said, "One is Mr. Tariq, the debtor of the Storm Royal Family, and the other is the new king of the Storm Kingdom, the Stormborn, born in the Purple Chamber, Barry King Flanders."

Dressed in leather armor and dressed as a knight's squire, Barry jumped up from his seat. "Count Sunan, you recognize me?"

Su Nan was speechless for a moment. After a brief silence, she nodded and uttered a soft "Mm".
