Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 425 The New Storm Gathering

After conducting three days of experiments on evil energy and magical verification against it, Su Nan entered the Storm Gathering through the magic rings of Mary and Anna the witches.

By this time, the storm over the gathering area was growing increasingly intense.

Everyone felt as if they were in the eye of a storm.

Su Nan looked at the people in the gathering. At this moment, the Petrifying Witch and the Lightning Wizard were somewhat surprised that Su Nan would participate in this month's Storm Gathering.

The petrifying witch laughed, "Lord Sunan, you've finally shown up. It's been a long time since you've attended a gathering."

"This Storm Gathering has seen a significant increase in the number of formal wizards. Wizards from several countries near the Storm Kingdom have also joined."

"Countries that are pervasive with pantheons of order and those that worship desert pantheons."

There are currently 27 officially recognized wizards.

After three days of research, Su Nan had gained some understanding of the nature of this evil energy, though he couldn't say he fully grasped its essence.

Reading at %! 【6*9*S*H*UBA.CX】

Those death knights and werewolves were all extremely powerful.

Moreover, the higher the magic pressure, the higher the quality.

"I haven't even gotten to this part yet, but I didn't expect you to have guessed it already. You truly deserve to be called a second-circle wizard."

"These aren't the strangest things. What I find strange is why the corpses of ordinary people, after turning into snow zombies, could actually crush and kill a first-ring wizard..."

"It's perfectly normal for ordinary people to become snow zombies and be able to slaughter formal wizards. In terms of technological level, the overall level of the energy world is actually stronger than the Forsaken wizarding community on the current material plane."

The Red Hand Wizard scratched his head and laughed. "I would like to, but I still have the Flame Rune Sword organization to manage, and I can't let down the first leader of the Flame Rune Sword wizarding order."

Most of them are related to the corruption of the prime material plane by evil energy, which produced all sorts of monsters.

Su Nan extracted the cold, damp, and evil energy from the Ironclad Wizard's body.

"Once we get back, we can use the evil energy to test the periods when cold and damp evils are most active. This will give us a rough idea of ​​when the blind king is at his strongest."

"I suspect this might be related to the Primordial Force."

The petrifying witch immediately teased, "Red-Handed Wizard, you're in too much of a hurry. Besides, Lord Su Nan was just in a good mood, and Rusty Wizard wants to join the Werewolf Empire, so Lord Su Nan was just giving him some pointers. Red-Handed Wizard, are you also going to join Lord Su Nan's wizarding organization?"

Therefore, even a blind king has his own time.

Su Nan reached out and, using his magic, captured the spiritual energy from the wound left by the eagle claw on the rusty wizard's shoulder, grabbed it, and then crushed it violently.

These zombies are impervious to swords and spears, can fly and burrow underground, move incredibly fast, and will actively attack wizards in crowds, but will not attack ordinary people.

"Black rust is highly poisonous; contact with it can be fatal."

He probably felt that it was too unsafe to be alone and wanted to join a wizarding organization to live out his retirement.

Su Nan glanced at them, then said to the petrifying witch, "Let's follow the assembly's procedures. My matter can be discussed during the intelligence phase."

This is an optimization plan that was quickly established by the AI ​​system after data collection in southern Jiangsu.

The rust wizard was moved. He had experimented on himself countless times but still couldn't completely remove the negative energy. Yet, in Su Nan's hands, it was all wiped clean in less than a second.

One of the formal wizards hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Su Nan privately, saying, "Lord Su Nan, this is my first time meeting you, and I am honored to speak with you."

Su Nan also looked at Ackerman.

"If you're interested, you're welcome to join."

"Evil energy can effectively utilize a certain kind of energy deep within the human soul."

While listening to the strange and unusual stories, Su Nan could also take the opportunity to learn more about what was happening in other parts of the Prime Material Plane.

"Lord Sunan, no, His Majesty Sunan."

For example, a first-circle wizard named Ackerman recounted that in the far north, some corpses buried in the snow would, after a period of time, crawl out of the snow and transform into a special kind of snow zombie contaminated by the cold evil.

This may be the reason why his magical pressure dropped so drastically.

But if that time doesn't fall within the period when the blind king is at his most powerful, then I'll be in real trouble.

For wizards, permanent defensive magic is of utmost importance, just as important as the body and soul.

The magic pressure of 1300 is several times that of many of the formal wizards present.

Su Nan frowned. "That means you haven't even encountered a mid-level lord or a high-level warlock from the energy world. You've only encountered a group of creatures from an ordinary prime material plane that has been corrupted by evil energy. Judging from your wounds, they were infected by cold and damp evil energy."

The rusty wizard's face showed horror. "Those are countless demonic eagles, all of them tainted with a strange energy. When my magic touches them, it is invaded by that strange energy, and its power is reduced out of nowhere."

Putting everything else aside, if Su Nan could give the Rust Wizard some pointers, just like before, and correct the shortcomings of his Permanent Defense Field, they would benefit greatly.

The petrifying witch nodded and said, "That's true."

Many of the new first-class wizard apprentices looked at Su Nan with extreme eagerness.

Wizard Ackerman said, "The snow zombies are not only extremely fast at night, but they are also fastest around midnight."

Using simple magic from the Conjuration School, Su Nan summoned paper and pen, and casually wrote down a few lines of runes and corrections to the model of the Rust Charm.

"May I make a deal with Lord Sunan, in exchange for some guidance on my permanent defensive magic?"

The eyes of the 17 official wizards present lit up, after all, if they could help Su Nan, they could gain the favor of a second-circle wizard.

Su Nan said calmly, "Of course. I have already established a wizarding organization called the Werewolf Empire."

"Those eagles are incredibly fast. If they attack, I won't even have time to save our school's wizarding apprentices..."

"Rules are still quite important. So let's begin the first phase, the exchange of strange tales. Everyone, you may speak now."

The Lightning Wizard asked, "Wizard Ackerman, what else would you like to add?"

After listening to the additional information from Wizard Ackerman, Su Nan fell into deep thought.

The petrification wizard chuckled, "Of course, Lord Su Nan's judgment has always been excellent."

Su Nan raised his hand, and his own magical pressure concentrated, swirling around the Rust Wizard and constantly attacking the Rust Wizard's permanent defensive force field shield.

"At midnight, we had no strength left to resist."

"The evil qi of cold and dampness is like this; it is difficult to eliminate and will find an opportunity to sneak into the weaknesses of your magic."

"Also, your permanent defensive field has too many flaws. Please modify it one by one as I have suggested. This will at least increase your magic defense by 50%."

The rusty wizard was about to speak when he said, "Thank you... Lord Sunan, this is..."

It was even worse than the first time I fought against Primal Death.

After the wizard Ackerman finished recounting the story of the snow monsters of the North, another wizard began to tell a different strange tale.

He was a shaman from a country that worshipped a desert pantheon. This shaman recounted a strange event that had occurred in Asia Minor, the westernmost region of the desert pantheon.

There are death knights and werewolves, who act collectively and constantly hunt down soldiers in mortal fortresses.

Su Nan suddenly spoke up and asked Ackerman, "Excuse me, Mr. Ackerman, I've been conducting experiments related to cold evil recently."

Many of the formal wizards and newly joined wizard apprentices present showed expressions of shock. They had only heard about it from veteran members of the gathering, such as the Petrifying Witch, the Lightning Wizard, and the Iron Shield Wizard, but they never expected that Su Nan would actually be able to help wizard apprentices become formal wizards.

Ackerman said that their school of thought therefore had no choice but to evacuate the remote Northern Islands as a group and head south to find a new home.

The best way is to use absolute magical power to make everyone submit to you and become the leader in their eyes.

Su Nan felt a little numb just thinking about it. Last time he encountered the ignorant and blind king, he was beaten so badly that, to be honest, it was quite a disaster.

"I apologize, Lord Su Nan, I lost my composure."

"I want to confirm something with you. I'd like to make a bold guess: do the snow skunks you mentioned in the north become slower in the sunlight? They are only very agile in the dark."

Su Nan calmly replied, "Okay."

Faced with Su Nan's magical pressure, the 17 formal wizards present were all horrified. They felt that Su Nan's figure was so tall that they even found it very difficult to move.

Su Nan nodded, releasing a magic pressure of 1300. At this moment, due to the curse of the blind king, which was reversed by the blessing of the Lord of Law, his magic pressure has now reached 1300 and is still breaking through, with a tendency to directly break through to 1500.

At this moment, another wizard tried to ask him about magic, but Su Nan did not answer easily, instead frowning slightly.

Su Nan thought to himself, "But I hadn't considered that the evil energy in the energy world would be related to the time of day."

"It's good that everyone can get what they want here."

Therefore, it is a very simple matter to extract minor evil energy from a wizard.

The higher the amount of magical pressure, the greater the power amplification.

The formal wizards also returned the greetings to Su Nan one by one.

Sunan said, "Thank you all for joining the Storm Gathering."

"By the way, Petrifying Witch, we now have 28 official wizards in our Storm Gathering. Because with my help, the 'World' Witch, who took me as her teacher, has successfully broken through to become an official wizard."

Su Nan took the magic contract from the petrifying witch, then glanced at the 17 formal wizards present. Apart from the usual formal wizards, the rest were all unfamiliar faces. These formal wizards were also looking him over and bowing to him.

"Or perhaps it's the psychic energy of the abyss. However, Caspian's flesh golem also utilized the deeper psychic energy within the abyss of mortal existence. But this method of utilizing energy easily incinerates the souls of mortals."

That was the Rust Wizard's permanent defensive spell—the Rust Curse.

"I must join your wizarding organization..." Su Nan looked at the others and saw that the 17 formal wizards and 27 wizarding apprentices present were looking at him with even greater reverence.

Although the wizards were somewhat disappointed that Su Nan hadn't immediately revealed his request, the gathering had already snowballed. Therefore, even just exchanging strange tales was incredibly beneficial, and everyone earnestly recounted the strange and unusual events they had recently encountered.

"It's just that she's currently occupied with some necessary potion-making tasks in the real world, so she can't attend the gathering for the time being."

Su Nan sized up the rusty wizard and found that his magic pressure was only 120, which was relatively weak. After all, when he first broke through to become a formal wizard, his magic pressure was already close to 200.

The rusty wizard took the document and was immediately awestruck. Looking at the document and then at Su Nan, he felt that Su Nan was so tall and that he himself was so small.

I don't even know if I should thank the blind king. All I can say is that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

"I happen to have a batch of materials that I need help from friends all over the world."

"But there's one more thing I need to add."

The Storm Gathering has expanded, and I have no time to focus my energy on socializing, like a pure white wizard.

With each attack, the perpetually protective force field would emit a rusty-colored spark of energy.

Su Nan frowned. "I guessed right, your defensive magic includes some water magic. And the way the cold, damp evil energy penetrates a wizard's body is by searching for the corresponding water magic within the wizard's body. That's why your school is no match for those evil creatures."

Wizard Ackerman paused for a moment, then said to Su Nan with utmost respect, "Your prediction is basically correct, esteemed second-ring wizard."

So it's not just a simple matter of quantity.

Su Nan looked at the Rust Wizard and asked, "But what did you encounter? An enemy from the energy world?"

"I am a Rust Wizard, but my school of magic has been wiped out by the world of energy. I now need to find a wizarding organization, and I wonder if I could join yours. However, I am old and my potential is limited; I am only proficient in some Transmutation and Metallurgy magic."

"If this conjecture is correct, then the Seven Kings must have their own allotted time each day."

"I also have the expertise to create a special magical metal called [Black Iron Rust]."

However, Su Nan discovered that the Rust Wizard had some injuries, and his magic clearly showed signs of being invaded by evil energy.

"If your school encounters a mutated evil spirit caused by the dryness and heat of summer, then a portion of your school should be able to survive."

Both the petrifying witch and the lightning witch coughed, their expressions strange.

Su Nan looked at the formally dressed wizard and said, "Well, there's no need to explain. I don't think this is anything strange."

"Those werewolves and death knights were all my subordinates."

"I'm merely reclaiming territory in Asia Minor. I'm preparing to establish the werewolf empire's direct territory in the prime material plane there."
