Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 278 The God-Slaying Plan!

Inside the Storm Palace, the blind monk had become the King's Hand, dressed in the robes of a prime minister. The blind nun, on the other hand, was now the Storm Kingdom's Minister of Finance, also wearing the appropriate attire.

Meanwhile, the current military commander of the Storm Kingdom is a blind knight under the command of the blind king, the current chief judge of the Storm Kingdom is a blind chief judge under the command of the blind king, and the chief officer in charge of guarding the royal palace is a blind swordsman.

After a month and a half of turmoil by King Barry, the entire upper echelons of the Storm Kingdom were purged and replaced with his own people.

Of course, Chancellor Cavendish was an exception.

King Barry was surprised to find that Chancellor Cavendish's power in the Storm Kingdom was almost like a tortoise shell, which he could not dismantle by using royal authority or assassination.

Under normal circumstances, Chancellor Cavendish's power as prime minister could actually suppress royal authority. It's just that now, in this world of energy, things can be done with impunity.

These people are having a meeting right now.

The discussion focused on how the current plan was progressing. In general, the person currently in charge of overseeing the plan was still a blind monk.

King Barry was merely a half-vassal under the blind king; the blind monk was the true loyalist.

The blind monk listened to everyone's progress report and nodded, "Things are progressing... relatively smoothly."

"Although there are two things that haven't been handled well. One is Sunan Peter, and the other is Chancellor Cavendish, who may be related to the Power Rhythm Wizarding Organization."

"The 'Gate' ritual we set up inside Stormwind Keep was originally intended to distract the Church of Storms and even force the heavily injured saint to make one last move, completely exhausting his remaining life force."

"After all, our true ritual needs to be performed on that poor new queen. Even if the 'Gate' ritual is opened, the Storm God will find a way to close it again. Only by killing the Storm God can we completely eliminate all future troubles and fully invade this world."

The blind monk pondered, "To destroy the God of Storms, we need to launch a direct attack on his divine kingdom. With our current resources, this is something we simply cannot do."

"But if the God of Storms can use the Saint to descend upon this world, we can use the artifact of the blind king—after defeating him, to confine most of the God of Storms' main consciousness within the body of that Saint."

The blind monk said, "Therefore, we need to weaken that saint as much as possible. We need to provoke the Storm Church, demonstrate our infiltration of the Storm Church, and make that Storm Saint unable to suppress his anger, and then make his move."

"There is only one possibility: to summon the God of Storms—a blasphemous ritual. That's the only recorded instance in history of forcing a true god to intervene. Let our blind queen and blind king ascend the throne together!"

"But Sunan Peter ruined our plans; he's a cancer!"

The blind monk gritted his teeth. "Although our real plan was progressing very smoothly, the plan to further expand our gains was ruined by the outsider, Peter Sunan."

"But if we were to encircle and suppress him, we would have to allocate too many resources."

"Furthermore, I'm not sure if our large-scale battle with him will give the Church of Storms an opportunity."

King Barry, seated on his throne, said, "So let me do it. As long as I stand beside him, death will befall him."

The blind monk looked at King Barry. "Your Majesty, who is blind to reason, only allows you to attack the Saint and the Knights of the Hand of Gods who may exist within the Church of Storms."

"Su Nan, I'll handle it."

"If you make your move prematurely, our trump card will be exposed. We haven't figured out the Storm Church's trump card yet."

The blind monk said, "Moreover, with Stormwind Keep becoming a city of criminals, morality and common sense have been destroyed, and our power is greater than before. In just one more month, my monks will be able to recover to the level of six-star mages, which is why I am waiting."

"After all, art needs a long period of time to mature before it can be understood by the world."

"The process of understanding is lengthy; there's no need to rush it."

"Our blasphemous ritual will take at least another six months to complete, so dealing with Sunan Peter on the eve of the plan gives us more than enough time."

King Barry sighed. "I must be so bored."

"Actually, as long as I make a move, I can basically kill any ordinary first-level wizard."

"You really should hurry up so that the magical tide can recover to a level that can accommodate second-circle wizards."

The blind monk looked at King Barry and said, "If this God-Slaying Plan succeeds, let alone recovering to the second ring level, we can even recover to the third ring level."

"This is the core of the Godslaying Plan: by killing the Storm God, causing turmoil in some areas, the energy world will further invade this land, and then make the environment here more suitable for us."

"Our king, if you could slay the god of storms, I think you would find some solace."

King Barry's face immediately turned serious and angry. "Blind monk, whatever you know is dangerous information that could harm you. You'd better not say anything."

"I must avenge the grudge against the Storm God. Your plan is exactly what I want. I will make the Storm God weep before me."

The blind monk gave him a graceful bow.

Meanwhile, among these beings from the Blind Realm, the only human was the high priest of the Storm Kingdom's palace. He looked around at the 'people' in panic, "What are you talking about?"

"I can't understand what you're saying. How can you utter so many treasonous words..."

The next moment, his chest was pierced through from behind, and the blind high priest, dressed in his robes, grinned maliciously, lifting him up from behind. "This feels so good. It turns out that I don't need qualifications or background to become a court high priest."

"Ryan Valencia, you're going to die!"

"If you die, I will be the high priest. This is what I get by siding with them!"

In this way, the entire upper echelons of the court were filled with people from the sorcerer group, and royal power was liberated to the greatest extent.

At the same time, King Barry suddenly curled his lips into a wicked smile and said to the blind monk and the blind nun, "By the way, according to the tradition of the Storm royal family, today is the day the Queen returns to her family. She will be staying at her family's place all day."

"His family is from the Anatolian Peninsula, so they now live in an estate in the inner city, next to... Sunan Peter. It was arranged by Chancellor Cavendish."

"The reason I didn't speak up sooner is because I always felt it was just a trivial matter. Monks and nuns, you can't possibly be incapable of handling something this simple, can you? Why not hand over command to me?"

The blind monk turned to look at King Barry, his eyes flashing with anger.

"not good."

The blind nun, who had been somewhat distracted by the arcane swarm, felt uneasy upon hearing this.

Isn't this like throwing lambs to the slaughter?
