Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 274 The Blind Monk's Attraction and Declaration of War

The blind monk sat before Su Nan and said calmly, "The King has appointed me as Hand of the King. From this day forward, I am the Left Chancellor of the Storm Kingdom, wielding the same power as Grand Chancellor Cavendish."

"Human, you see, I have power in my hands with ease. If I want, I can forcibly expel you from the capital at any time. Just like when the Rost family plotted a rebellion, I discovered it in advance and can imprison the Rost family at any time."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. "How interesting. Wherever I go, you follow. Monk, are you my admirer or my follower?"

"Besides, I don't believe your king can help you drive me out of the city. No one can make me leave this city if I want to."

Su Nan looked down at the oil painting in her hand.

The blind monk whispered, "I have a way to restore order to things."

"Sunan Peter, join us with your strength, and you can easily obtain the status of a mid-ranking lord. You will become the right-hand man of that blind king, just like me!"

"First, you need to stop sabotaging our plans within Stormwind Keep. Also, you need to sever ties with the Abyss."

Su Nan was speechless. He raised his eyebrows and continued staring at the oil painting, saying, "You have a wonderful idea, but the problem is... what good would that do me? So I refuse."

"And I must remind you, I have no intention of sabotaging your plans in Stormwind Keep."

The blind monk looked at Su Nan with suspicion, using his spiritual vision. "You don't intend to sabotage the plan, so you…"

Su Nan said, "I was just hunting..."

Su Nan took out another bottle of warlock's blood, drank it, and gained another 5 points of mental strength, bringing his mental strength to 410.

The blind monk sensed a significant increase in demonic pressure emanating from Su Nan, and he clenched his fists. "So that's how it is. You were born different from us."

"Sunan Peter".

Suddenly, numerous chains appeared within the oil painting in Su Nan's hand. These chains destroyed everything within the painting, but Su Nan didn't care and didn't stop them. This was because the contents of the three magic books had already been recorded by the AI.

The blind monk said, "Our world... has a clear hierarchy and order, so there are even things like [curtains] that restrict levels."

"We do not allow the lower to usurp power, nor do we allow changes in rank, yet you have once again increased your strength before my very eyes."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. "But don't those sorcerers also have star ranks?"

The blind monk said, "Rank is necessary; it is the essence of our world. Only with clear ranks can there be order. Unlike the chaos of your world, in our world, the son of a king will always be a king, and the son of a beggar will always be a beggar. There is absolutely no chance to change this rank system."

"From the very beginning, the aptitude of warlocks is predetermined and cannot be changed. Therefore, the level of a warlock they can become is already determined from the outset by the high-ranking energy lords. Consequently, their upgrades and changes are always within the established order."

"Sunnan Peter, you never know what you're up against. But don't think that just because you destroyed four of our strongholds you're our opponent. Even without the support of secular monarchy, you are no match for us."

"I'm here to give you some advice: at the very least, you should stay away from here. You can't stop our plans. The king's selection of a queen is about to begin. Once this selection is completed, the four strongholds you destroyed will be of no consequence."

The next moment, the blind monk stood up and left. But at the same time, the king's soldiers stormed into the gathering, accusing the Earl of Rost of treason and various charges of conspiracy, and demanding his arrest.

Su Nan noticed that among the guards was even a baron he had seen at the private party at Rost Manor.

As expected, the matter was accomplished in secrecy. With so many people involved, it's inevitable that some would try to curry favor with the royal family and preserve their own noble status by betraying the cause.

If it were a normal royal family, this would indeed be sufficient. But unfortunately, the current royal family is not the true Storm Royal Family at all.

A soldier tried to get the baron to identify Su Nan as someone who had also participated in the conspiracy.

"Did you see this person at that gathering where they plotted the rebellion?"

The baron looked at Su Nan with fear in his eyes. After all, Su Nan was one of the most powerful local nobles in the royal city, the least constrained by the Storm Royal Family. "I...I didn't..."

The one-star warlock, disguised as a soldier, muttered to himself, somewhat sullenly, "Damn, this is tough."

Su Nan smiled, while simultaneously ordering Jinx to complete his experiment with the unicorn scarab, imbuing the arcane swarm with the bloodline of the unicorn scarab and enhancing its devouring ability.

Meanwhile, distracted by the current situation, he tossed the destroyed painting aside. "I dislike being disturbed, so I want to ask this baron a question... Did you really... see Earl Rost at the party?"

"You need to be careful, what you just said... could affect your survival."

Su Nan transformed his spiritual power into bronze and attacked the baron. The baron was already terrified and panicked. When he was hit by Su Nan's bronze spiritual power, he was immediately distracted.

Then, in a daze, he said, "I don't think I've ever seen Earl Rost involved..."

Su Nan looked at the royal guards and said, "Since that's the case, your incriminating evidence is gone. Go back and tell your king that no one can ever do whatever they want, no matter who they are."

The royal soldiers were trapped, but Sunan had secretly used a niche reversal spell to summon Cole from the toilet and had Cole secretly use a hypnotic spell to hypnotize the royal soldiers.

Of course, the one-star warlock leading these soldiers was obviously not included.

He has the blood of a sorcerer, which makes him immune to many spells, especially weak spells like hypnosis.

He noticed, however, that all the royal soldiers turned and left, leaving him alone in the cultural salon to be the subject of everyone's gaze, including Su Nan's cold stare.

Fear surged within him as he recalled how many compatriots had perished at the hands of Su Nan, and even heard that Su Nan ate... sorcerers!

He ate the sorcerer!

Therefore, the sorcerer's knees buckled and his legs trembled. Without saying a word, he turned and ran.

Su Nan watched the sorcerer leave, lost in thought.

With so many warlocks inside Stormwind Keep, there must be a temporary 'door' similar to the one I encountered in the underground rye domain before. I just don't know where that 'door' is.

The next moment, Su Nan was stunned, because a few days ago, the Arcane Swarm branch he had placed in the Stormwind Keep underground system indicated that they had discovered a large number of warlocks in the Stormwind Keep underground reservoir, as well as many cultists being converted into warlocks, and a large number of rituals left behind by the cultists.

After thinking for a moment, Su Nan realized where the temporary "gate" to the energy world was located.

"Attack. The Zerg need not restrain themselves."

Su Nan ordered the arcane swarm to attack. It was time to let the energy world experience the terror of the arcane swarm.

At the same time, Earl Rost, with a grateful expression, performed the courtesy due to a lower-ranking noble to a higher-ranking noble for Sunan. "Lord Sunan, thank you."

"In the entire Stormwind Keep, only you have the ability to protect me and my family."

"From this day forward, our family will be your most reliable ally. However, it is estimated that after this incident, the position of Stormwind Keep Inner City Patrolman, which our family has inherited for generations, will be lost."

A flash of anger crossed Earl Rost's eyes. He spoke in a voice only Su Nan could hear, "But more than half of the senior soldiers in the legion responsible for guarding the inner city of Stormwind Keep obey our family's orders."

"Lord Sunan, from now on, you will have this legion under your control. Our only request is that you protect us."

"Fine, if you're scared, you can leave Stormwind Keep and move your whole family to the Southern Thrace Military District." Sunan was somewhat dismissive of this, as he didn't care about it.

On the contrary, if I continue hunting warlocks for another week or two, I can reach the level of a first-level senior wizard.

You can make six Ascension Potions yourself.

A first-level senior wizard should be equivalent to a six-star warlock. I wonder if there are any six-star warlocks left in Stormwind Keep.

Legendary knights are actually equivalent to first-level wizards, but at the same level, they are definitely no match for first-level wizards or five- or six-star warlocks.

As for the Sages, based on Su Nan's current knowledge, he cannot yet see their potential.

However, warlocks actually suppress ordinary wizards of the same level, mainly because their power is too strong against magic. Therefore, a four-star warlock can actually hold off a first-level wizard.

Essentially, a warlock will naturally be one level higher when fighting a wizard.

This is probably why the wizards previously collaborated with the church to strengthen the knights with magic and use them to fight against the sorcerers.

Of course, the werewolf in Su Nan itself has essentially replaced the knight. The werewolf's wolf venom and wolf claws can effectively suppress the energy shell and energy shell field of the energy world.

It's just like the game of Animal Chess.

The energy world is actually quite afraid of hand-to-hand combat because the density of energy can never match the density of matter. It's just that the knights' strength is too limited, so they can't defeat the energy world in terms of pure power.

Werewolves, on the other hand, are upgraded versions of knights, possessing massive magical bonuses and incredible melee combat abilities.

Therefore, what Su Nan told the blind monk was the truth. He now basically regards sorcerers as a great tonic, so his biggest motivation for targeting sorcerers is actually to use them to make medicine.
