Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 277 Becoming a Senior First-Ring Wizard

Count Tuval, wanting to gain some advantage, gritted his teeth and said to Sunan, "My great master, it was I who took the initiative to contact you, and it was I who brought the Tuval family and the vampires of Methuselah to you."

"I'm not trying to emphasize my contribution."

"It would be my greatest honor to do anything for my master, but..."

Su Nan glanced at him and said, "The Tuvar family and the vampires of Methuselah are separate. Your Tuvar family, Methuselah, and Vanessa each lead different vampire groups."

Su Nan took out four bottles of the Vampire Baron's potion and handed them to them. "Drink them. Become my Vampire Baron, and then transform all your vampire subordinates again."

"However, I must warn you that after drinking this potion, you will be bound to me as your ancestor. Once you break free, it won't be so easy; it will be far more powerful than the constraints imposed on you by the energy world."

The first one to drink it was Methuselah. That old vampire was too cunning; he didn't hesitate at all.

He was cunning and even suspicious enough to believe that this was a test from Su Nan for them, and that if they hesitated even slightly, Su Nan would eliminate those who hesitated the next moment.

Moreover, Methuselah wanted to use Sunan's power to become a Ring-type being and become an Immortal King.

His soul, already aged and decrepit, had lost all hope.

Next was Vanessa, then Count Touvar, and finally Quint Touvar.

They were already stronger than Cole, with a more solid foundation than Cole at the time, so they digested the potion much faster than Cole.

After they finished digesting the potion, the first person to pledge loyalty to Su Nan was actually Quint Tuval, who had previously harbored resentment towards Su Nan.

Kunte Tuval said to Sunan, "Master, I can finally feel your power more clearly now."

His gaze toward Su Nan was full of loyalty, partly due to the effect of recognizing his ancestors.

Partly because, as a knight, he was easily inclined to pledge allegiance to his lord. The final reason was that, during the process of digesting the potion, he had more acutely sensed the magical power within Su Nan.

He succumbed to this powerful magic.

The cold, ominous magic pressed down on him, making it hard to breathe. At the same time, within this magic, as if a volcano had suddenly erupted, a stream of blood magic suddenly appeared.

This blood magic was like the sun, full of vital energy, nourishing his body and mind.

The werewolf curse transformation potion amplifies the initial emotion during the transformation tenfold. The vampire curse transformation potion, on the other hand, transforms the recipient of the ancestral bond into Sunan Peter, and amplifies the loyalty of that bond tenfold.

Judging from the results, the cost of converting vampire curses into potions seems to be lower, after all, loyalty is a valuable asset.

However, the werewolf curse transformation potion can transform ordinary hounds, so the cost of creating werewolves is actually lower.

To create the Vampire Viscount Potion, a large amount of refined wolfsbane from Su Nan is needed to create a first-ring Wolfsbane Jade (the creation of which requires the spirituality of the main saint) before the Vampire Viscount Potion can be made.

Similarly, the werewolf hunter potion requires the blood of the progenitor (its creation requires the spirituality of the patron saint).

Su Nan now wants to steal the spirit of the patron saint from Borgia, or try to conduct a replication experiment of the patron saint's spirit.

However, to figure this out, Su Nan estimated that he might need to be at the level of a second-ring wizard.

After all the vampires had reclaimed their ancestry, Su Nan tapped the table with his fingers. "In that case, let's not reveal our identities for now."

"Whether the energy world doubts you or not."

"If the energy world makes any contact with you, you must respond to me immediately using the wolf pack effect."

Su Nan connected the four vampire barons to the Wolf Pack Effect, but restricted their access.

They couldn't hear other communication within the wolf pack; they could only receive orders from Su Nan, report to Su Nan individually, or form their own small groups to communicate.

This is equivalent to giving them a vampire squad.

Meanwhile, Cole the vampire is also among them, serving as the leader of the vampire group.

Sunan left the Tuvar family. For the next period of time, he led his wolf pack on hunts every night.

Two weeks later, Su Nan drank a recently concocted potion of sorcerer's hemostatic liquid, raising his mental power to 500. This officially made him a senior first-circle wizard, and he had also constructed two new first-circle potion-making spells.

One ring of [Potion Removal Charm], one ring of [Potion Throwing Charm].

However, after Su Nan's mental strength increased to 500, he drank a bottle of ordinary sorcerer's blood and found that the rate at which his mental strength increased slowed down, increasing by only 0.2. Moreover, if he continued to consume it, the increase would be even less.

However, it didn't matter. Su Nan looked at the five-star sorcerer's bloodline essence on the makeshift laboratory table in the rented villa area and began to think. "I can use this bloodline essence to refine a high-level sorcerer's blood potion that has undergone six levels of sublimation."

"At that time, I can quickly push my mental strength to 600!"

"My current Brown field defense is about thirty times stronger than the minimum defense field strength. Based on my calculations, if my mental strength increases to 600, the maximum defense strength of my Brown shield will be about fifty times stronger than the minimum defense field strength."

"This is the difference between a half-step second-ring wizard and the weakest first-ring wizard."

Su Nan looked at Vasilian. Recently, his wolf pack had hunted down nine of the warlocks' strongholds at night, so he now had a total of fifty-seven three-star warlock prisoners and three four-star warlock prisoners. Each warlock was imprisoned in the first layer of the Bone Land's warp, wearing a slave collar infused with the wrath of the fire demon, and injected with wolf venom.

Therefore, Su Nan shared some of the Warlock's Blood potions he had refined with Vasilian, whose mental strength had already reached 500 by this time.

Su Nan wanted to obtain a better magical inheritance for Vasilian, otherwise it would be difficult to fully utilize Vasilian's current power.

During these two weeks, no matter what orders King Barry gave, he remained calm and simply continued to capture and hunt warlocks in Stormwind Keep.

Meanwhile, within the past two weeks, his ten ordinary death knights each received his three-stage ascension intermediate death knight potions, becoming intermediate death knights. Su Nan planned to wait a while longer before turning them all into high-level death knights.

Then these death knights, who were equivalent to first-class wizard apprentices, had reached the end of their road.

Meanwhile, the arcane swarm in the sewers of Stormwind Keep, which Su Nan had created, finally produced a decent ability: to gain some of the enemy's spiritual characteristics by devouring their flesh and blood.

However, the current number of generations is not enough, so we need to keep having the swarm fight the warlocks to generate enough generations.

It has fully inherited and evolved the ability to devour the spiritual characteristics of its enemies.

Currently, Su Nan is roughly in a state of strategic equilibrium with the energy world. Su Nan's insect swarms and wolf packs wreak havoc in the sewers and at night, respectively. And the warlocks, due to the 'Gate,' have become exceptionally numerous, so they can afford to expend resources.

They have already pushed back seven waves of Zerg, but each time they wiped them out, the Zerg would come back with a vengeance.

Even if they arranged for sorcerers to monitor the sewer system, it would be pointless.

Because the wolf pack's target is high-level warlocks, if they were to monitor the entire Stormwind Keep's sewer system, which is equivalent to two million people (the population at its peak, but now the actual population is only a few hundred thousand), it would result in them being too scattered. Su Nan, on the other hand, can easily have the mutated wolf pack capture these scattered high-level warlocks.

Now, Su Nan guesses that the main target of the energy world doesn't seem to be him.

Therefore, to them, they are the extra factor that has been attacking them from behind, so the energy world still focuses its attention mainly on their own plans.

Even though Su Nan had disrupted the entire "Gate" plan, the energy world still didn't turn against him, and he didn't need to use the Niche Reversal Spell to retreat.

This incident reveals that the so-called "Gate" plan, the plan known to those ten three-star sorcerer demon hunters, was nothing more than a distraction.

Inside the laboratory, Su Nan said to Vasilyan, "Lately, I've been too focused on capturing sorcerers, and I didn't even realize that the 'Gate' project was a decoy. I think that project was meant to attract the attention of the Church of Storms, and of course, it would be great if it succeeded."

"It's a plan that can fail."

Vasilyan said to Sunan, "Master, it's not too late for us to realize this now. After all, improving our own strength is far more important than ruining someone else's plans."

"Because of that 'Gate' project, a large number of warlocks are scattered throughout Stormwind Keep, and we can capture them at will."

Su Nan laughed, "So when I could have completely ruined the plan, I deliberately didn't immediately, to see if the blind monk would continue with it. Unfortunately, their last sorcerer spy in the rebuilt Kaldorei Cathedral also withdrew, seemingly unwilling to let me fish them out."

Su Nan pondered, "In that case, capturing four-star and five-star sorcerers and refining higher-level sorcerer blood will require some more effort."

"No, I have to find a way to force them out."

Su Nan remembered that the recent selection of a new queen was successful. The new queen was the youngest daughter of a baron from one of the scattered baron territories of the Storm Kingdom in Asia Minor.

Perhaps it's because no high-ranking nobleman dared to offer his daughter to the current King of Bari.

Therefore, as a king, he could only marry the daughter of a mere baron.

Su Nan wondered if the energy world would send a high-level sorcerer to protect the queen if he attacked her.

Su Nan shook her head and decided against it.

The main reason is that the Stormwind Keep's royal palace is now the main base of the energy world. He doesn't want to clash head-on with the blind monk group right now.

The premise of going all in is that you have been forced into a corner, or you are confident of winning.

Meanwhile, Su Nan is still gathering information about the energy world. He plans to transform the nine-headed mutated werewolf deacon into a shadow werewolf deacon before the mutated werewolf messengers, to enhance his reconnaissance capabilities, locate the warlock gathering place in Stormwind Keep, and understand the steps to the energy world.

Of course, there are still a lot of warlocks in the underground sewers, after all, the sewers of Stormwind Keep are a 'vast' and complex world.
