Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 38 The Storm Werewolf's Initial Idea

One week later, in the afternoon.

In Maple Leaf Town, a veiled ball is being held in the slightly luxurious three-story wooden villa of the Carpenters' Guild. Many wealthy merchants, minor nobles, and beautiful women will be joining the ball.

Su Nan symbolically participated in the dance.

After all, as the lord of the Peter's domain, he still needed to let his subordinates and subjects know his thoughts and attitudes, and demonstrate some predictability in his behavior.

Occasionally, he would interact with his fellow citizens.

Otherwise, if they don't interact with themselves for a long time, some of their subjects will spread all sorts of absurd and exaggerated rumors.

Su Nan just didn't like these kinds of dances. Masked dances sound nice, like a dance party, but they were really just an excuse for promiscuity.

The nobles and wealthy merchants, wearing masks, could freely choose anyone to attend the ball.

Soon, this place will become chaotic and... well, you know.

Su Nan had no interest in performing art here, so he only showed his face briefly before instructing his bodyguard, Robert, to inform Chairman Is, then removed the wooden mask and turned to leave.

President Is could only tell everyone immediately that Baron Sunan enjoyed the ball very much, but he was busy with other matters and had to leave early, telling everyone to enjoy themselves before he left.

After Sunan left, Pig, the wealthy merchant next to Chairman Is, raised his wine glass and said with a grin, "Lord Sunan, the old baron, Gus Pasha, and the old mayor are indeed quite different."

"That was really rushed."

Chairman Is gave the old fox a cold look. "Anyway, Biggs Pasha and the convicted former mayor are much better off."

"We only need to manage the trade; everything else will be protected by Lord Sunan."

The wealthy merchant Pigg quickly said, "You misunderstood me. I didn't mean any disrespect to Lord Sunan. And I also know that that night, just one night, Gus Pasha, the powerful and brutal man who had been arrogant in the Peter Baron's territory for ten years, died."

"The entire territory has been basically recovered by Lord Sunan, and the knights of the remaining knightly territory have recently resumed paying taxes and expressed their loyalty and commitment to fulfilling their corresponding military obligations."

"It is a great thing that Maple Leaf Town has such a powerful lord who allows us to run our businesses normally."

"But Ms. Is, haven't you noticed lately?"

"Maple Leaf Town is expanding and developing at an even faster pace."

The wealthy businessman Pig said, "I am an investor, and I know that only by following the right people and doing the right things can you make big money. Chairman Is, I think you understand as well. I believe that Lord Su Nan is that kind of rare person who must be closely followed."

President Is seemed to be deep in thought.

……

After leaving the ball, Su Nan boarded a carriage and returned to his castle. Along the way, he noticed that Robert, who was riding in the same carriage as him, looked dejected and had a wound on the corner of his mouth.

Su Nan asked, "How did you get hurt?"

Robert coughed a few times, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's like this, my master."

"By the God of Storms, I have only recently engaged in a few duels with Blom and Warwick. These were perfectly normal matches, and I have absolutely no jealousy whatsoever..."

"I'm not jealous, I'm just... a little..."

Su Nan glanced at Robert's unwilling eyes.

Oh, I understand.

Robert is envious.

However, I can understand him. After all, his power comes from years of training and faith in the God of Storms. Every bit of power he gains means his hard work and suffering.

As a result, he can no longer beat the old butler, and he can't even beat the old fox Brom in his eyes.

It's easy to imagine how complex Robert's emotions were.

Su Nan coughed, interrupting Robert's internal struggle, and then said to Robert, "It's okay, Robert, I respect everyone's choice."

Everyone has their own strengths.

"At least Warwick and Blom, you taught them their martial arts. You are their master, and you don't need to doubt yourself at all."

"Robert, doubting yourself will only weaken your strength."

Robert's resolve hardened instantly. He glanced gratefully at Su Nan, determined to continue on the path of the Storm Knight.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have wasted the first half of his life?

"Lord Sunan is right," Robert thought. "Once I become a Storm Knight, I should be able to defeat Blom."

Robert had only been excited for a few minutes when he suddenly remembered his old butler, Warwick, whose strength had recently surged again, and his eyelids twitched.

After becoming the Storm Knight, is he really a match for Warwick the Old Butler?

Robert was filled with anxiety.

Is the magic that Lord Su Nan speaks of really that powerful, that just drinking a bottle of potion can make someone surpass those powerful formal knights?

Robert has always held a very lofty image in his mind as a formal knight, because that was his goal since childhood—to become a formal Storm Knight.

But now, he is starting to seriously doubt his life's ideal.

Robert looked up slightly at Su Nan.

Because the old baron was like a second adoptive father to him, he always wanted to follow Su Nan.

But now it seems that the path of Storm Riders may not be able to keep up with Su Nan's growth. So are there any other ways to obtain greater power?

Robert said, "Lord Sunan, what I mean is that the old steward's martial arts skills have improved very quickly recently. When he fought me in his werewolf form, he not only adapted to my techniques, but also developed unique attack techniques."

"He can attack enemies with both claws and teeth while leaping. His recent attack methods seem to have emphasized the biting action, which, it must be said, is indeed terrifying in combat and forces one to be on guard, for fear of having one's fingers or ears bitten off."

"The housekeeper said that's why he's been working hard in this direction."

"He really has a knack for fighting."

"He really went down the wrong path by becoming a butler. I joked with him that he should have been a soldier instead of wasting his talent."

"He always laughs heartily."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. He felt that Robert's words were implied, as if they were about the map of Yan State, but he still nodded and said, "If that's the case, I can make him a special potion to strengthen his mouth muscles."

However, the biting action is indeed very distinctive, and it is extremely deadly to humanoid enemies, requiring constant vigilance.

For example, when both sides' hands are being blocked and restrained, suddenly one of the werewolves sticks out his head and bites the other.

Creating a potion that enhances bite seems like a good idea.

Robert, barely able to contain himself, asked, "So each potion has to be designed individually? If I were to transform into a werewolf, what kind of werewolf do you think I could become? Cough cough cough... I mean, if..."

Su Nan looked up at Robert and began to think seriously.

To be honest, the beings that drank the werewolf curse transformation potion were either hunting dogs or non-combatants; the only combatant was just an ordinary veteran.

If Robert were a Storm Knight's squire, or even after becoming a Storm Knight, he were to transform into a werewolf.

It does seem to be a very good, completely new approach.

I can design a more unique werewolf curse transformation potion for him.

Of course, the Super Werewolf Potion is a secondary enhancement potion, so it's the same and there's no need to modify the formula.
