Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 353 Investigating Maternal Bloodlines

Peterhof Castle.

At this moment, the Peter Earl's territory has become the most prosperous region in the Storm Kingdom, and the wolf pack left by Sunan here is protecting this place at all times.

Because the energy world has temporarily concentrated its power in Stormwind Keep, no warlocks have come here for the time being. As a result, the commerce here has become even more prosperous in the midst of chaos.

As Count Peter, Su Nan returned to his fortress.

The servants at Peterhof Castle hadn't seen Su Nan for almost half a year, so they were all very happy.

Meanwhile, Pera, the head maid in charge of maintaining Peter Castle, and Robert met with Sunan in the study immediately and reported to him on the situation of Peter Castle over the past six months.

Robert excitedly told Sunan, "Master, our Maple Leaf City now has a population of over 100,000. Because of the chaos, a large number of high-quality people are moving to Maple Leaf City."

"Maple Leaf City can provide you with approximately eight thousand Storm Coins in taxes each year."

"The pack of sheepdogs in the castle now numbers over three thousand. We used your illusions and scent to try and confirm the wolves' loyalty to you."

Although Su Nan no longer cares about Maple Leaf City's mere economic income, out of respect for Robert, he still praised him a few times and said that there was no need to worry about the wolf pack's loyalty, because he could use hypnotic magic to first establish the sheepdogs' loyalty to him.

At most, it requires some finesse manipulation, so it takes two to three days of slow hypnosis, and then when transforming the werewolf, this loyalty is amplified tenfold.

However, Su Nan doesn't really care about the loyalty of the lower-level werewolves anymore, because he is now too powerful and is naturally the leader of the pack.

Of course, it is also important to establish loyalty to oneself from the bottom up among the werewolves.

A wolf pack cannot have two masters, otherwise it will inevitably collapse.

After sending Robert away, Su Nan looked at the head maid, Pera.

Pera smiled at Sunan and said, "It's been several months since I last saw you. Your little master has grown up so much. That's wonderful."

Sunan asked Pera, "Ms. Pera, I remember you were my mother's personal maid. You and she had a very good relationship, like sisters."

Pera smiled and said, "Yes, young master. Your mother was a very kind and gentle person. She had an elegant demeanor, never made things difficult for us servants, and often cared about us."

Su Nan suddenly asked, "As far as I know, my mother was originally from the Eastern Empire, a commoner who met my father while fleeing. So, may I make a bold assumption that my mother was very likely a noblewoman from the Eastern Legal Empire?"

"She possesses a relatively superior bloodline."

Pera's expression changed.

"How...how could you think that?"

Su Nan sighed. "Ms. Pera, while fighting, I noticed an anomaly in my bloodline. I must understand the origin of my body and who I am in order to move forward."

"So if you know anything, you can tell me. Besides... given the current situation, it doesn't matter what bloodline I have anymore."

Head Maid Pera sighed helplessly. "I was prepared to keep this secret until I died."

"But who knew that since you've asked me this, I'll tell you."

"Anyway, the Storm Kingdom is in this state now, and there's still the New Law Church in the south."

Head Maid Pera said, "Your mother, Leonie Heraclius, is from a divine family of the Eastern Human Empire, and is also a descendant of the royal family. She is a direct descendant of the prestigious Heraclius family, and also a descendant of the Heraclius Dynasty, one of the golden ages of the Eastern Human Empire."

Su Nan covered his face. He had already guessed most of it, but when Pera confirmed it, Su Nan felt that things were getting more and more complicated.

Pera bowed to Sunan and said, "Because you are a direct descendant of the Heraclius family, your mother believed that the rights that were naturally tied to you by your bloodline would bring you many problems."

"So let me keep this secret to myself, and not even tell the old baron."

"At that time, as you know, the Storm Kingdom was at its zenith, and your mother believed that the Eastern Human Empire had no chance of being restored. Since your bloodline was so noble, even possessing the right to claim the throne, she chose to take you and live in anonymity..."

Su Nan tapped his fingers on the study desk. He felt things had become very complicated, and his tone towards Pera became serious. "Does anyone else know anything about this, Ms. Pera?"

Pera shook her head. "Master Leonie only told me."

Su Nan nodded and praised her, "You did the right thing before. You proved that my mother's trust in you was justified. You are also one of the most reliable people in our Peter family. Don't tell anyone about this in the future."

Pera immediately declared that she would never tell a second person about this, even if it meant her death.

Su Nan felt like her head was about to explode.

If possible, I would rather not have any connection with any deity. The bloodline of the divine family is indeed powerful, but…

Hmm... I don't think I'm at a loss.

Su Nan tapped the table in thought. "But what exactly is the true power of the Heraclius family's divine bloodline? All I know is that it can suppress curses, but it won't cancel out the power of curses."

After Pera left the study, Su Nan began rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, trying to find in the family's collection of books whether there was a bloodline ability chart of the God of Law's divine family.

But it wasn't found.

Su Nan suddenly looked south. There might not be anyone else there, but Rosen Hermod, the saint of the New Law Church, would definitely know.

Now that I'm a second-circle wizard, I certainly don't need to be afraid of a saint from a church that hasn't even established itself properly. If a fight breaks out, I'm not afraid at all.

As a wizard, I cannot be ignorant of my own bloodline abilities.

That's ridiculous.

Moreover, Su Nan dislikes this feeling of being out of control.

However, before going there, Su Nan planned to convert a group of wolves.

First, all the werewolves in the original wolf pack are upgraded by one level. Second, hounds are selected and then converted into werewolves.

Su Nan arrived at Wolfsburg and used a human virtual machine to transform himself into a vampire marquis. As soon as he entered Wolfsburg, he began to continuously use hypnotic magic on thousands of ordinary hunting dogs.

He planned to spend three days ensuring there were no hidden dangers in making the hunting dogs extremely loyal to him before converting them.

On Sunday, Wizard's Hand had already concocted five thousand bottles of ordinary werewolf curse conversion potions in the past six months, since this was only an upgraded version of the potion.

Therefore, Su Nan doesn't need to worry about not having enough werewolf potions.
