Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 249 Twenty Griffin Cannons!

Peterhof Castle, Solon's studio.

Solon's status has risen considerably, since the artists supported by the Storm Baron are of a completely different status than those supported by the Storm Earl.

Solon was overjoyed and worked even harder.

In his workshop, Su Nan saw twenty cannons made of still iron, each the size of a carriage, made according to his specifications and with rune plates he had personally prepared beforehand pasted inside.

In the Solon workshop, at the bottom of the furnace chamber next to it, Su Nan secretly placed a bottle of Fire Demon's Fury. For a long time, the magical flames formed inside the furnace could melt and forge still iron.

Of course, Solon himself did not know this.

He had his apprentices unveil the red cloth covering the cannons, revealing exquisite craftsmanship. Each cannon was made in the shape of the legendary griffin's head.

Moreover, the head design of each [Griffin Cannon] is different. Some have eyes that gleam with anger, and the muzzle of the Griffin Cannon is like a griffin roaring with its mouth open.

Some have their eyes tightly closed, resembling the muzzle of a griffin's cannon, representing the terrifyingly large beak that a griffin opens when it sleeps, as legend has it.

Each griffin cannon was crafted to be exquisite and beautiful.

Su Nan was very satisfied with the appearance of these Griffin Cannons. He would use them to fight wizards, energy worlds, and even secular armies. The appearance of these Griffin Cannons was majestic and terrifying enough.

Solon was an artist who designed weapon skins for himself.

After all, weapon skins are quite important.

Sunan patted Solon on the shoulder. "Very good, Solon. I am very satisfied with your work. Have these works moved to the training ground in my castle."

He will complete these Griffin Cannons at night, and have Mario and Alexander each hang ten Griffin Cannons behind them.

The bottom of these Griffin Cannons is covered with wind magic runes, which can draw on the core sacrificial stone energy inside Mario and Alexander to continuously supply energy, allowing these cannons to float in the air. At the same time, their special internal structure can store five Fire Demon's Fury potions.

There aren't many, but that's okay. We can arrange for plaster gargoyles to fill these Griffin Cannons with the Flame of the Wrath potion to replenish the cannonballs.

Solon was also very excited. "Your Excellency, these artworks are very artistic. Where should we place them as decorations? My suggestion is to put them at the entrance of your castle."

Su Nan nodded. "Solon, I've noticed that your habit of frequently mentioning art is quite similar to that of an old friend of mine."

"Perhaps this is a common trait among artists. Rest assured, I will find a good use for the 'artwork' you've created for me this time."

With the [Neclipse Reversal Spell], as long as you carry a special rune golem rat with you, you can switch any wolf pack member you want to their desired position at any time.

Because there are three types of potions that enhance mental power, I don't need to worry about excessive mana consumption like the Oak Wizard.

This time, Su Nan was prepared to deal with the skeletal dragon and its undead army in this way.

Summon Mario and Alexander, activate the Brown Field, and simultaneously use twenty Griffin Cannons to fire the Fire Demon's Fury potion, unleashing a first-level magical bombardment on the Bone Dragon.

It was the perfect time to conduct artillery experiments.

However, I need to observe the situation before conducting experiments, since I'm here to harvest resources and plan to use the Undead Town as a long-term source of mid-to-high-level undead materials.

We cannot cause too much damage to the town of the dead.

However, this [Griffin Cannon] is also the source of Su Nan's fearlessness of the psychic magic and sorcery within the town of the dead.

All fear stems from insufficient firepower.

As long as the firepower is sufficient, no matter how powerful your curse magic is, just bombard it.

Sunan left Solon's studio and began preparing for his trip to Corfu the next day.

At night, Su Nan took the twenty completed Griffin Cannons and installed them around the fountain next to Mario and Alexander, making them look like decorative items for the fountain.

But in fact, these Griffin Cannons have already formed a spiritual connection with Mario and Alexander. The gargoyles in Peter Castle and Maple Leaf City can also be responsible for reloading the Griffin Cannons with ammunition during the battle.

As long as Su Nan uses the Eco Reversal Spell to summon Mario and Alexander, he can also summon these [Griffin Cannons] together.

In the end, Su Nan produced ten bottles of each of the three latest mental enhancement potions for storage, and led a large bag of special rune golem rats and the Death Knights to Corfu.

To deal with the undead, Su Nan doesn't plan to use werewolf units or swarm units this time. Instead, he plans to use golem units, gargoyle units, and death knight units, which will be easier to counter the undead.

The flying gargoyle, Gaguy, had a Tesla valve in its throat that accelerated the flame compression. After being filled with five bottles of the Flame Demon's Wrath potion, the resulting flame bombardment magic was incredibly powerful.

Half a day later, Sunan, along with Vasilyan and the others, arrived in Corfu by boat.

To avoid arousing the Baron of Corfu's suspicion and fear, Su Nan did not display the Peter family's insignia this time. After landing, he had the sailors who served his family stay on the ship and moored it in the harbor to await Su Nan and his men's return.

Corfu port sees many merchant ships coming and going every day. Therefore, this action would go unnoticed by anyone.

The entire island of Corfu resembles a beautiful white sand beach.

Numerous white houses are built along the edge of Corfu Island near the sea, standing side by side, creating a beautiful scene.

This place is commercially developed, and it is located in the middle of the sea, west of the Storm Kingdom, far from the Bulgars to the north of the Storm Kingdom and the Nicomedia Empire to the south.

Su Nan led eleven death knights clad in black armor into the town on Corfu Island. The surrounding residents and merchants, sensing the danger, obediently gave way.

Sunan found the "Justice" witch in a tavern in Corfu.

With his immense magical power, Su Nan could easily find the "righteous" witch in this small place, who was deliberately not hiding her magic and was waiting for Su Nan to arrive.

At this moment, the "Justice" witch in the tavern was not wearing a wooden mask. She had black hair, black pupils, and a face with typical Mediterranean features. She looked to be in her early twenties, but this was not to be believed, because first-class wizard apprentices had too many ways to make themselves look young.

Su Nan briefly sensed the life level of "Justice" and confirmed that she was probably in her thirties or forties.

The "Justice" witch looked up at Su Nan as he entered the tavern, and a look of surprise and delight immediately appeared on her face. It seemed she had been waiting for Su Nan every day recently, and her anxiety was growing with each passing day.

"Hello, sir, my real name is Marie Palaiolo."

Su Nan walked over and sat down at a table with her. Meanwhile, the Death Knights surrounded Su Nan, and some of the drunkards in the tavern, who were already slightly tipsy, were so frightened that they immediately distanced themselves from Su Nan and Mary Valleillo.

They were afraid that if they went on a drunken rampage, they would provoke these eleven terrifying black knights in full plate armor, and their common master.

This must be a very important person, someone who has graced their little tavern with their presence.

Sunan gestured to Vasilyan to keep out any unauthorized personnel, then whispered to Marie Palaiolo, "'Justice,' your surname is Palaiolo, you are...?"

Mary nodded, confirming Su Nan's guess. "I am indeed from the royal family of the Nicomedia Empire, and I am a person dressed in purple."

"The Nicomedia Empire has two co-ruling emperors. The Eastern human empires have a long tradition of co-ruling emperors, so there are now two major royal families, one of which is the traditional Lascalis family."

"One reason is that the old king of the Lascalli family died when the young Lascalli was only 2 years old. In ancient times, we were also recognized by the God of Law. Palaiolo himself was one of the divine families and had the right to inherit the throne. Therefore, my brother Michael VIII became the co-emperor of the young Lascalli. Thus, the Palaiolo family has now become a royal family."

"According to current accounts, it is one of the four surnames that currently claim the right of succession to the royal family of the Eastern Human Empire."

"I am the sister of the current emperor of the Nicomedia Empire. However, I am now a sorceress and have no right to the throne, so these things are irrelevant."

Su Nan looked thoughtful.

Now, the Eastern Human Empire has been destroyed, and three countries claim the right to inherit the throne.

These are the Nicomedian Empire of the Palaiologos family (the old royal family: the Lascalis family has been largely sidelined).

The Komnen family's Trabzon dictatorship.

The Anglosian family, the Epirus despotism.

Among them, the most powerful was the Nicomedia Empire controlled by the Palaiologos family, which basically retained a military force roughly equivalent to that of a kingdom to a duchy.

Su Nan never expected that the "Justice" witch would be a member of the Nicomedia Empire's royal family.

The Nicomedia Empire is now the Storm Kingdom's number one enemy.

This is really...

Mary briefly explained to Sunan the history of how their Palaiolo family resorted to witchcraft in order to restore their country after the country was seized by the Storm Nobles, the imperial capital was controlled, and the Church of Law was controlled by the Storm Church, becoming a branch and puppet of the Storm Church.

Mary was one of the results of the Palaiolo family's fifty-eight years of effort in this area.

Su Nan had a question. "The Palaiolo family is also a divine family chosen by the God of Law, and divine families seem to all have some special abilities. So what are the special abilities of your Palaiolo family?"

If someone else had asked her this, Mary would definitely have refused to answer.

But the person in front of her was someone who came to help her get rid of the "moon" in the town of the dead, so Mary thought for a moment and replied, "Our special ability is energy counterattack."

Su Nan looked puzzled.

Mary Balleillo said, "I can counterattack attacks within a certain energy range released by the opponent during combat. But I cannot counterattack attacks of a higher level; I can only counterattack attacks of similar strength."

"Energy counterattack is a special divine ability possessed by our Palaiolo family, as a family of gods. Combined with my own talent for dark energy magic, this is why I embarked on the path of melee spells within the dark energy magic system."

Su Nan nodded and said, "Yes, not bad. With this special talent, combined with a melee combat system based on dark energy magic, it would indeed be very outstanding."

Su Nan spoke of what "Justice" was most interested in. "Well then, 'Justice,' I'll still call you Justice during the gathering, but you can call me Su Nan in private, and I'll call you Mary. Let's set off now for that town of the dead, what do you say?"

Mary quickly replied, "Yes, Lord Sunan."

"Thank you for your help."
