Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 385 The Emperor's Invitation and Mother's Tears: Imperial Wine

The AI ​​quickly recorded the ley line teleportation spell and, using its maximum speed and all its computing power, began modifying the spell model of the ley line teleportation book.

Su Nan didn't have time to wait for the AI ​​to finish modifying the spell model; he started modifying it and learning at the same time.

After all, the entire Assyrian capital is currently at war. If this magic could be learned in time, it would not only be useful when facing the emperor, but also in other dangerous situations.

The official glanced at the war in the sky and revealed an eager expression, but he kept his eyes fixed on Su Nan, who was clearly the core of this group.

"Are you spies from the Fairy Wilderness?"

"Unlike before, this time, if you don't say anything, I'll have no choice but to use force to subdue you."

The first-ring wizard and the official standing next to Su Nan stepped back in fright.

The Rye Matriarch revealed her fangs, while the ghouls sprouted over a dozen tentacles from their backs. At this time, the emperor had not yet met the ghouls, so the sorcerers in the Assyrian imperial palace did not recognize them.

Vasilyan looked at Sunan, waiting for his order: to draw his sword or to retreat.

Su Nan laughed and said, "If I told you that I am a second-circle wizard in the Assyrian Empire, it would be normal that you don't know, because we joined the Assyrian Empire from other planes."

Su Nan was just talking nonsense to buy time and figure out a way to escape.

The Assyrian Empire was too powerful. Even if this was just a small fragment of the past, who knows how many second-ring wizards, how many third-ring wizards, how many second-ring wizard towers, or even third-ring wizard towers there were in the capital of the Assyrian Empire.

The celebrity official sneered. "Still trying to keep up the pretense?"

"Alright, then produce your land contract."

Seeing that Su Nan remained unmoved, he said coldly, "The Earth Contract is a contract that every Assyrian shaman signs with the emperor."

"Every wizard soldier has a strict contract with the emperor, which stipulates their rights and obligations. For example, wizard soldiers are required to serve the emperor for a certain number of months each year, but in return, they can receive a certain amount of magical resources."

"If you can't produce the Earth Contract, you're definitely not Assyrian wizard soldiers! Men, seize them!"

Su Nan frowned. Even at the fastest speed, he had only built about one-tenth of the model for his ley line portal.

He must delay for a longer period of time, at least nine times longer than before.

Su Nan stopped the Black Wheat matriarch with a look, preventing her from intervening and ruining things. After all, it was far from the point where action was necessary.

Su Nan said, "Official, I can guarantee that I have no connection with the Fairy Wilderness."

The prominent official before him recited a short incantation, and as a result, an eye pattern composed of golden runes appeared on his forehead. The pattern released a fleeting spiritual energy to Su Nan, and then the official's complexion improved.

What you just said was not a lie.

"It seems you are merely travelers passing through the Assyrian Empire. But you are extremely rude; if you wish to visit the Assyrian Empire, you should first communicate with the imperial protocol department responsible for receiving guests."

"With permission..."

A large group of people walked from the palace's royal road in the distance. They were dressed in gold and silver and seemed to be sorcerers and nobles of the Assyrian Empire.

The leading second-ring wizard noble said to the Celebrity Official in a cold voice, "Celebrity Official of Ur, I believe that the one who is being rude is you."

The nobleman of Ur turned around and immediately bowed to the second-circle wizard nobleman, after all, the other party was a senior second-circle wizard.

Moreover, they were members of the Assyrian Empire's noble guards, shamans directly responsible for the emperor's security.

Their status was extremely high.

All the first-ring wizards and wizard apprentices present who were dealing with the flesh golems performed the most solemn ceremony in respect to the second-ring wizard nobles.

"Lord Hans Berger."

Hans Berger stepped forward, gesturing to stop the official from offering an explanation, and simultaneously performed a special Assyrian greeting to Sunan. "His Majesty says a distinguished guest has arrived."

"If it weren't for the sudden attack by the Wilderness God, which forced His Majesty to remain at the Three Rings Wizard Tower, he would surely have come to invite him personally."

Please forgive my previous rudeness.

Su Nan frowned, because he didn't know why the emperor had noticed his presence. Had the future emperor told him, or had he simply sensed that a chosen one of the God of Law had entered the capital of the Assyrian Empire?

After all, the emperors of this period seemed to have a deep collaboration with the god of law.

Before Su Nan could react, Hans Berg had a bottle of wine in a gold bottle brought out.

He poured himself a glass of wine, then drank it all in one gulp, a look of pleasure on his face. "His Majesty knows of your high status and the great distance you have come from, and has specially prepared this imperial wine to welcome you."

"This is a specialty of my Assyrian Empire, called 'Mother's Tears.' The name means 'the tears shed by Mother Earth.' Drinking Mother's Tears can enhance the spiritual power of a second-circle wizard."

"Each second-circle wizard in the Assyrian Empire can only obtain a small cup every three years; it is a rare magical resource."

"Thanks to you, I can have a drink. It's not that I'm a heavy drinker, but I don't drink, and you probably wouldn't dare to either."

Hans Berg laughed and said, "However, although my Assyrian Empire suppresses this world with war and slaughter, it will not do anything petty, so you may drink it."

After examining the wine, and considering that Hans Berg had also drunk some, Su Nan accepted the glass offered to him and drank the wine.

Instantly, he felt the aroma of grapes filling his mouth, and at the same time, his own magical power was rising.

Those grapes didn't seem to be ordinary grapes, but rather peculiar magical grapevines specially cultivated by the emperor using earth magic.

This wine, in turn, extracts the inner spirit of this special grape, which is then used to nourish the wizard himself.

Su Nan felt his magical pressure of 763 increase to 780 after drinking the glass of wine.

Next, Su Nan didn't stand on ceremony and drank all the Mother's Tears wine from the golden wine jug. At the same time, he closed his eyes and began to digest the effects of the Mother's Tears.

His magic pressure broke through from 780 all the way up, finally reaching 850 ten minutes later.

Su Nan opened his eyes. This Mother's Tears was no wonder it was a rare magical resource of the Assyrian Empire. Ordinary second-circle wizards could only obtain a small cup every three years.

The boost is incredible! I just drank seven cups in a row, and it increased my magic pressure by 87 points.

That's the mental power of a second-ring wizard!

Hans Berg smiled and waited for Su Nan to finish processing his mother's tears before saying, "The wines of the Assyrian Empire are very famous."

"We hope our valued guest is satisfied."

"Next, please come with me to meet the Emperor."

Su Nan nodded. "The emperor treated me with courtesy, so there's no problem with me going to see him. But could you wait for me for another half hour?"

In just half an hour, I will be able to complete the construction of the ley line portal spell model.

That way, if you go to see the emperor yourself, you'll have the confidence to save your life, and you won't have to entrust your life and fortune to someone else's politeness.

What if the emperor doesn't give face to the god of law?

He was always a bit crazy.

Hans Berg had been very polite to Su Nan, but to everyone's surprise, when he heard that Su Nan wanted to delay, his smile vanished immediately, and he said, "No. In the Assyrian Empire, the emperor has never been made to wait for a guest for half an hour."

"However... His Majesty the Emperor did say that if you request to wait a while, then I should agree. And he estimated that you would need to wait forty-five minutes."

Su Nan frowned.

Could it be that the emperor knew he was building a model for a ley line portal spell?

The rye matriarch couldn't help but say, "Then why did you refuse? Your emperor already agreed!"

Hans Berg said expressionlessly, "That's because I don't understand why His Majesty the Emperor treats an ordinary second-circle wizard with such courtesy. Nor can I tolerate you making His Majesty wait for half an hour."

"I think there were some things I didn't explain clearly before."

He clapped his hands, and the royal wizard guards behind him parted to reveal the prison carts. Inside the carts were wizards from the Pure White Wizarding School, the Black Wizarding Tower, and the Green Apothecary wizards who had been abandoned outside the palace.

These people were disheveled and dirty, clearly having been tortured and interrogated.

Hans Berg stared at Sunan and said, "The Assyrian imperial palace is not so easy to break into."

"These outsiders, except for you and your people, have all been brought to justice. Now, do you still want to persist and wait?"

Su Nan looked at the Pure White Wizard, who was in a prison cart, looking disheveled and ashamed. He had no face to meet Su Nan's gaze. When he saw Su Nan looking at him, he immediately turned his head away, not wanting to make eye contact.

But Su Nan noticed that the pure white wizard in the prison cart had no shadow.

Su Nan pursed his lips. "If you could really capture them all, that would be great. Mr. Hans Berg, I think you've overlooked one person."

"One, an old friend of your emperor."
