Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 41 Sacrificial Stone, Angel Statue, Soldier Number One, and Turmoil

On the outskirts of Baron Peter's territory, in the afternoon.

On a small hillside next to Maple Leaf Town, a carriage was parked in this remote and uninhabited place. The coachman, dressed in a black robe, had eyes filled with extreme fanatical worship, and he would occasionally glance at the woman inside the carriage.

The woman looked out of the carriage window at Maple Leaf Town.

Six months ago, she passed through Maple Leaf Town and saw the magical power above the castle of the land's owner, so she chose to go around it.

But now, even the sky above the small town below is shrouded in profound magical power.

However, just six months later, this magical power was many times more evil than it had been six months before.

What exactly did the owner of this magic do?

Even if it involved the massacre of several towns the size of Maple Leaf Town, the magic power shouldn't be so profound and evil.

"Strange." The woman looked up, and at the same time, two black lines appeared on her forehead, forming a tattoo resembling ram's horns. "That wizard's magic has not only become more evil, but it also contains some white magic power."

"It's hard to imagine that the owner of such magical power also possesses white magic."

Their people are descendants of the blind king's subordinates who invaded this land more than two thousand years ago, forcibly engaging in relations with the humans here.

Over the past two thousand years, as the demonic tide receded from this land, all the energy beings from another world chose to leave. They could only pretend to be human and stay on this land to survive.

But at this moment—back in the year that the Eastern Empire was destroyed fifty-seven years ago by the knights of the Storm Kingdom and the Holy War Army—everything has changed.

That world has once again opened its doors to this place.

The immense magical power generated by the demise of a two-thousand-year-old empire and civilized world is enough to summon the receding tide of magic, allowing magical power to once again sweep across the world and be dominated by them.

Therefore, this magical tide is mostly composed of dark magic.

Those people, after they awakened the power within their bloodline belonging to the blind king, and the bloodlines of the other six supreme beings of that world.

They decisively betrayed humanity, and then transformed themselves into the vanguard of attacking the human world and disrupting its order.

The woman, Chesia, glanced warily over Maple Leaf Town. "Although my ancestor, the blind nun, instructed me to infiltrate this territory, disrupt its existing order, and destroy it to avenge that wizard lord."

"But the task was more difficult than I had imagined."

"I almost gave myself away just by getting close to Maple Leaf Town."

"The security here is much tighter than it was six months ago. In just six months, the magical power in this territory has increased to this extent."

"Did that wizard really grow so much in the last six months, or... am I overthinking it? Maybe that wizard is hiding in this mortal world by falling into a deep sleep or sealing himself away in some way."

"So, during this time, he was just unsealing his power."

"But that's not right either. When the magical tide recedes, even if you use a seal on yourself, the seal will weaken as the magical tide recedes, or it may even become completely ineffective."

Chesia had some doubts about whether she could complete the task assigned to her by one of her ancestors, the Blind Sister.

However, the wizard was irreconcilable with her and her ancestors. Now that she had accepted the mission, she could only do her best to complete it using the resources she currently had.

"We probably won't be able to complete the mission with these useless lunatics."

Cheshire glanced disdainfully at her coachman.

The coachman immediately felt extremely honored, and grasped the reins, saying, "My lord, long live the High Order! For a world of equality, for eternal freedom!"

Cheshire looked at him with even more contempt. Although these people had been lured into joining the Supreme Order by her, did she not know the intelligence of the people she had recruited?

Expecting these people to accomplish anything is nonsense.

She herself knew that truly talented people were hard to fool with empty words.

Cheshire whispered, "Blind Sister, let me destroy this town..."

"There's no other way. Relying on supernatural powers alone is unlikely to work for me."

"We must rely on the power of mortals."

She looked northeast. "Interestingly, the nomads in Bulgaria have recently encountered locusts and famine."

"Hunger must feel terrible."

"Let it be chaotic, let it continue to be chaotic. As mortal nations wage war against each other, our world, as a mirror image of the mortal realm, will only grow stronger."

"Those wars between civilizations will only make the tide of magic come even stronger. As time goes by, we will grow stronger and stronger."

Cheshire stepped out of the carriage and said to the coachman, "Are our people still unable to infiltrate that town?"

The coachman immediately said excitedly, "Lady Cheshire, we've tried many methods, whether our men disguised themselves as merchants, craftsmen, artisans, or even lawyers who believe in the God of Law, but nothing has worked."

"The militia of that small town would easily spot our people in a crowd of several hundred and capture them."

"I really don't know why. Damn humans, damn knight lords, damn storm god."

Cheshire said calmly, "It's because of the smell and the heartbeat."

"Your heart rates are too abnormal, and you've been with me for too long, you've picked up my scent."

"However, the Bulgarian nomads are coming soon. Using those mortals to destroy this town is also a good option. In any case, the lords of the Storm Kingdom are never united; they only stand by and gloat. In such a country, our power will be even greater."

……

In the castle's training grounds, the old werewolf Blom, along with his knight squire Robert and the old butler Warwick, are battling a three-meter-tall statue of the angel of the sacrificial stone.

After more than half a month of nurturing the core of the sacrificial stone, with energy guided day and night, the angel statue has been completely transformed into the sacrificial stone golem.

Therefore, in order to collect combat data on the angel statue soldiers, Su Nan arranged this battle.

The angel statue's combat power was higher than he had expected. Although its speed was very slow due to its heavy body, equivalent to the walking speed of an untrained ordinary person, its heavy body and strong defense allowed it to stand firm and continuously suppress the two werewolves under their continuous attacks.

Su Nan had the AI ​​analyze the combat capabilities of the angel statue soldiers.

【Sacrificial Stone - Angel Statue Soldier No. 1】

Age: 0

【Strength: 3.5】

【Speed: 0.5】

[Physical Fitness: 7]

[Racial Skill 1: Marble Body (The energy of Polymorph flows through his marble body, granting him not only mobility but also powerful defensive capabilities, making him immune to slashes, fire, lightning, and blizzards.)]

[Racial Skill 2: Immune to Mental Attacks (The golem is unaffected by any mental spells)]

[Racial Skill 3: Reconstruction (As long as this golem is within the castle and its core stone has not been destroyed, it can be resurrected by artificially repairing the marble, or further modified.)]

Weaknesses: Heavy blunt force trauma, strong acid.

Finally, the "reconstruction" is a special magical power of the stone golem that was given life because of its connection to the castle.

Reconstruction magic can grant it powerful modifying capabilities.

If it's associated with high mountains or swamps, it wouldn't have this ability.

Su Nan said, "The speed is a bit slow, only about the speed of an ordinary person walking, or slightly slower than jogging. But it's enough for a castle guard."

"Overall attributes are only slightly higher than Super Werewolf. However, due to severe imbalance, while its physique is outstanding, its speed is somewhat slower."

The magical power of a second-class wizard apprentice is still limited. It is already quite powerful to be able to move such a heavy golem. If you want the golem to move faster, you need more powerful magic, which would probably require the magical power of a first-class wizard apprentice.

However, Su Nan plans to equip this angel statue soldier with several more weapons and shields to further enhance its defensive capabilities. In short, he can treat it as a mobile wall or tank for his castle.

It's enough to catch any enemy invading your castle off guard.

Because the enemy who invades your castle may not expect that the statues inside your castle... are actually your own soldiers.
