Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 421 Ascending the Throne of the Nicomedia Empire

Half a day later, wearing a laurel wreath and crown, surrounded by citizens of the capital, Su Nan stood in front of the palace and became the emperor of the Nicomedia Empire.

After a two-day coronation ceremony, gold coins bearing Su Nan's portrait were distributed throughout the empire.

Although it was called an empire, it was actually just a dozen or so large cities, as well as some smaller cities, towns, and villages.

In the cramped and ridiculous palace of Nicomedia, Su Nan felt the changes in his magic. When he became the emperor of the Nicomedia Empire, the magical tides in Asia Minor did indeed change.

This place gave birth to a unique double-helix magical structure, similar to that of the werewolf plane.

However, unlike the werewolf plane, even with the emergence of a special double-helix magical structure, it cannot have a significant impact on the magical tides that are deeply integrated with the dark primal force.

Su Nan only possesses a slight power to manipulate the magical tides of Asia Minor.

Mary coughed softly, walked to Su Nan's side, and whispered, "Your Majesty, there are matters that require your decision. Stop discussing them..."

Reading at %! 【6*9*S*H*UBA.CX】

"In that case, the laws of wizards are unlikely to come into being."

Without Arcane Intuition, my normal combat strength would decrease by at least 10%.

[The prime material plane, possessing powerful world forces, could not possibly be like the werewolf plane, with its weak world forces, where a single individual wizard could control more than 5% of the magical tides in a given region.]

Meanwhile, Su Nan was already wholeheartedly studying the special magical structure of Asia Minor.

Su Nan thought to himself, "But if that's the case, perhaps I can give it a try..."

On the throne, Su Nan opened a bottle of sorcerer's blood, enveloping his magic power in the potion's energy, and then connected himself with the magical tides of most of Asia Minor.

"It seems to have been a success." Su Nan looked at the Codex of Law in his hand, a symbol of the power of his magic combined with the laws of the Nicomedia Empire and the magical tides of Asia Minor.

5% is an upper limit.

His control over the magical tides of Asia Minor was squeezed to its limit by the dark forces. Every time he tried to influence the magical tides, he was repelled by the dark forces.

Anyway, Warwick, Mary, and Rye were standing by his side, listening to the country's ministers, and they would handle these trivial matters for him.

"In addition, the most important envoys were the envoys of the Mamluk Sultan of our neighboring country, the envoys of the Turkic Sultan, and the envoys of the other two despotic states ruled by divine families."

This time, the Dark Force once again tested and judged its own power. When it discovered the sorcerer's power covering its own magic, it no longer rejected it, allowing itself to control the magical tides of Asia Minor and form its own wizarding laws.

After all, that ring had been a great help to him in many crises.

Su Nan seemed to hear someone calling him. He diverted some of his attention and looked away from the ring on his right hand, and saw David Thompson, an old nobleman from Nicomedia, seemingly calling him.

Su Nan looked at his right hand. During the battle, all the magic rings on his right hand had shattered. The other magic rings could be reforged, but the Arcane Intuition Ring required Komnenos's bloodline, which he didn't have on hand, so it couldn't be reforged.

David Thompson said to Sunan, "Your Majesty, the kings and archbishops of the surrounding countries have all sent congratulatory gifts upon hearing that you have become the new emperor."

Nicomedia had fallen to the status of a third-rate state, and its political instability and frequent changes of emperor meant that while other countries heard that Nicomedia had a new emperor, they did not pay much attention to it.

They just casually sent over a few messengers to give them a perfunctory response.

David Thompson looked at Mary and Warwick with a puzzled expression.

"Even though the Nicomedia Empire is still too weak, the biggest problem lies in the Dark Force."

Meanwhile, when he regained control of the magical tides in Asia Minor, a black gold law ring automatically appeared on his middle finger.

"My influence on the werewolf empire's magical tides has increased from the initial 10% to 60%..."

But Su Nan didn't care about offending the Pope of the Papal States.

"Even so, my influence on the magical tides of Asia Minor is only 1%..."

Inside the palace, Su Nan listened to reports from the nobles and ministers below while secretly studying the issue of magical tides.

"Furthermore, the energy world is more likely to tamper with the rules of the prime material plane, allowing beings in the energy world, unlike those two thousand years ago, to directly enter the prime material plane."

"I can meet the Crown Prince of Trabzon in person."

David said, "Most importantly, for some reason, the heir to the Trabzon despots, who have historically been the most hostile to the Empire, Crown Prince Antoninus Komnenos, has actually come to your capital to present you with gifts..."

"Warwick, go see the Pope's adopted son. I don't think the Pope and I have much to say to each other anyway. After all, the Lord of the Law and the god he worships are enemies."

David Thompson said, "Your Majesty, among the envoys who have come this time, there is one from the Storm Kingdom who has come to congratulate you."

The ring face is shaped like the law code.

Because he is still under the curse, Su Nan did not immediately go to Stormwind Keep to activate all the backup plans there and gain most of the Storm Kingdom's territory.

"It seems the energy world has been calculated."

[Although in the Prime Material Plane, 5% is already a very high percentage.]

Yes, the prediction is that it could rise to at least 3%. But how to combine it is a difficult problem, and it's not just that the Dark Force is interfering with your magic, but also the unique nature of the Prime Material Plane itself.

Sitting on the throne, Su Nan was already lost in thought. The key was that Su Nan was particularly good at acting. He stared wide-eyed, said nothing, and pretended to be listening attentively, waiting for the court officials below to discuss freely and to gather their opinions. He had an unfathomable attitude.

Sunan, however, came to his senses and immediately made a judgment: wasn't Trabzon the country of the Komnen? Then their crown prince must also be a Komnen, and a pure-blooded one at that.

"They deeply integrated the dark forces of the energy world with the magical tides of the prime material plane."

He said to Sunan, "Your Majesty, the adopted son of the Pope of the Papal States and the Crown Prince of the Bratt dynasty cannot be received by ordinary envoys. Do you wish to see them?"

Su Nan suddenly had a thought and asked the AI: "AI, if I were to seize the power of a high-level energy lord, such as the Ruthless Law, would my control over the magical tides of Asia Minor increase?"

When Su Nan was talking to David about the history of the Bratsong Despot and its long-standing rivalry with the Nicomedia Empire for legitimacy, he began to wonder why there was a situation here that was different from the werewolf empire.

The ministers below spoke one after another about their hopes for the future of the empire.

Firstly, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so there's a significant difference between the two.

Secondly, the Papal States are currently the most targeted by the Energy World, despite their life-and-death struggles with the Energy World in Nicomedia and the Storm Kingdom.

The concept of a "potential world" could be an invasion of the entire world.

In other regions, the situation is even worse!
