Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 235 The Magic of Cognitive Formation

Su Nan checked the three elite sacrificial stone golems, Mario and Alexander, and found they had all returned to their original state. Furthermore, due to their five ascensions, their strength attribute had increased to 30, speed to 7, and constitution to 30.

The reason why the attribute improvement was not significant is mainly because Su Nan did not allow the legendary sacrificial stone statue to follow the path of the werewolf, where magic power is converted into physical functions.

This is mainly because the current ground golems are not designed for combat, but rather to provide Brown Fields and Brown Shields.

Just like today, even though he deliberately allowed the wolf pack to be reborn from the ashes, the existence of the Brown Shield prevented the Witcher from breaking into the castle for a long time.

The Brown Shield can only be broken after paying a huge price.

After today, even at such a cost, the energy world will not be able to breach the defenses of its territory.

Because he transformed the soul magic shell of the sacrificial stone into a permanent magic field unique to first-circle wizards, meaning that they were all equipped with the first-circle defensive magic of potionology, the [Potion-Charged Brown Field Charm].

This meant that, for the first time, the legendary stone golems were significantly weaker than werewolves and death knights in terms of combat power, but their defensive capabilities far surpassed those of werewolves and death knights.

Su Nan looked at Mario and Alexander and said, "In the next few days, I will install several turrets on you to improve your ranged attack capabilities when defending."

"That way, we won't be as passive as we were today when we encountered the Witcher."

Su Nan decided to allocate a portion of the AI's computing power to Mario and Alexander to enhance their long-range counterattack capabilities.

As for defensive capabilities, there's not much to worry about.

There is a Brownian force field.

Of course, it is also necessary to conduct preliminary research on better spell models for Brownian force field-type defensive magic.

However, this requires more first-circle wizard-level magical resources, or even second-circle wizard-level magical resources, to optimize and refine the calculations.

At the same time, Su Nan looked at Gargoy. At this moment, Gargoy's strength was 20, his constitution was 20, but his speed was an astonishing 50!

This further enhances Gagui's aerial cruising capabilities and speed. Of course, Su Nan also needs to be modified, including the Tesla valve compression acceleration device in its throat, so that its attack power can be increased to the proper level.

At the same time, it's also worth considering developing new mounted weapons for this gargoyle statue.

I'll be busy for a while now.

In general, Su Nan has now basically upgraded his magic troops to the level expected of a first-ring wizard, and can continue to upgrade his magic troops in the future.

Make the Peter family even stronger!

Sunan said to Warwick, "Provide food subsidies to all the residents of Peter Castle and Maple Leaf Town."

Warwick understood Sunan's meaning. "Young master, are we telling our people that the situation is still under our control?"

Su Nan nodded and said, "Also, hang these filthy demon hunter corpses on the edge of my territory so that the forces of the energy world can see them."

"Let them know what happens when they offend me!"

Blom, Warwick, and others all agreed wholeheartedly.

Because of the previous battle, they now have a lot of grievances against the energy world.

The next day, Peter led his people, who had been worried all night, out of their homes to find nothing had changed. Yesterday's events were like a trivial little incident.

It was like a small accident.

The people all wore happy smiles.

As long as they stay in Peter's territory, they will enjoy order and peace.

This is something that is now incredibly luxurious throughout the entire Storm Kingdom.

Early morning, in the suburbs outside Peterhof Castle.

A farmer's wife opened the chicken coop, happily took out a rooster, and said to her husband and three children, who were about to go to work in the fields before the morning sun became too bright, "Let's kill a rooster to eat today."

Her husband was somewhat reluctant. "It's not a holiday, nor is it the storm god's birthday..."

The peasant woman smiled happily and said, "It's not a celebration for the birth of the Storm God, but a celebration for finding a good lord for us."

"Life here is truly wonderful."

The peasant woman was clearly still shaken by her past life in the Earldom of Samori. "It's so good to have a place where we can live a simple life as long as we work hard."

Meanwhile, Su Nan, in the attic of Peter Castle, sensed the changes in the magical energy within his territory and raised an eyebrow. "After I become a formal wizard, I will be able to see the sacred authority of the Storm God in the air."

"But there seems to be something else in my territory."

"So it turns out that making people happy can also generate magic. Magic is such a wonderful thing, and there are still many unknown areas that I have never seen before."

Su Nan realized that the church's suppression of people's thoughts had resulted in the air everywhere being filled with the sacred authority of the Storm God.

At this moment, as Su Nan gradually weakened the authority of the Storm Church within his territory and opened people's minds, these citizens, who had developed a sense of happiness, unexpectedly generated a special kind of magic.

This magical power merged into his own magic and disappeared.

Inside the attic experiment, Su Nan reached up and grabbed at the air, instantly capturing this special magical power.

"AI system, record the relevant data and analyze the current situation."

Yes. It can now be argued that, similar to the secret realm, the collective understanding of a land possesses a magical power, just as the collective moral and legal beliefs of a world can exert a binding force more powerful than weapons.

Therefore, it can be argued that this is the magic generated by a collective cognitive perspective.

The perceptions and beliefs formed by individuals change society and the land, and then each individual, in turn, is changed by society and the land.

[You are the Storm Lord of this place, therefore you can easily inherit this magic. It is not yet known what benefits you will receive from accepting this magic.]

Since this is the first time encountering this phenomenon, multiple observations are needed to better analyze its underlying causes and utilize it to establish new spell models.

However, one could speculate that if this territory's allegiance to you isn't based on worship of the Storm God or any other deity, but simply on their view of you as their protector, then perhaps you could inherit a considerable amount of magical power from them.

Su Nan lowered his head and began to think. "In the past, the church used religious authority to prohibit people from opening their minds, which made the people of a region rigid in their thinking."

"By the way, it's not that the gods can't enlighten people's wisdom; each one of them is a great sage. After all, there are true gods in this world, and true gods are not afraid of mortals having wisdom."

"Unless these mortals are wizards. Only the existence of wizards truly threatens the gods."

"But the church in this world still suppresses thought because... since a positive mindset can generate positive magic, a negative mindset should be able to summon a lot of negative magic."

"With this negative magic accumulating, something bad might happen. Perhaps, this is how the energy world discovered this world in the void."

Su Nan shook his head.

But that's not right either. Without magical tides, no matter how many ideas people have, they won't turn into special magic.

Therefore, the church's rigidification of people's thinking may, at least in part, be due to the desire to suppress mortals with power and wisdom.

After all, if a mortal can solve all problems on his own, why would a mortal need to believe in gods?

The weaker mortals are, the more dependent they become on the gods.
