Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 50: Obtaining Two New Spells

At the same time that Blom attacked a Bulgar caravan, Sunan had already sent his old steward Warwick to attack a second Bulgar caravan on the other side of Frank's territory.

That herding group had also attacked caravans heading towards Maple Leaf Town.

In the places where the two herding communities were destroyed, the werewolves found a large amount of treasure they had looted from various places, which, according to a rough calculation, was worth at least 1,500 gold coins.

These robbers really got rich overnight from this robbery; they became walking gold coin bags.

Unfortunately, they all exposed themselves.

Unfortunately, because the Bulgars did not value books, only a small number of books were collected.

Warwick also contacted Sunan, saying he had discovered a strange statue made entirely of obsidian in the territory of another herding group.

This idol can also absorb the magical power of the Sleepy Potion nearby.

Su Nan immediately used the wolf pack effect to contact them and saw the idol that the wolf pack was facing at that moment.

The statue was placed in a farmland by the Bulgars. It had four heads: an eagle's head, a tiger's head, a lion's head, and a leopard's head.

Su Nan immediately recognized it as an image of the Bulgar god, the deity worshipped by the Bulgarians.

The history of the Bulgars' belief in the Lord of Beasts is actually not long, only about two or three hundred years ago.

When the Bulgars worshipped the Lord of Beasts, it signified their integration into the international environment of the many kingdoms of the celestial order gods on earth.

Their political system has also become somewhat feudal.

Three hundred years ago, the Bulgars were nothing more than a group of nomads from afar, who believed in pantheism and animism.

Through war, they seized a large territory from the northern part of the Eastern Empire and settled there permanently.

The history of the Bulgars is actually quite glorious. They were once almost completely feudalized and became a major regional power in the central region.

However, later, the Basil dynasty of the Eastern Empire defeated the Bulgar Kingdom in succession through a series of wars. They destroyed the newly established feudal system and aristocratic power of the Bulgars, and even eradicated them, pushing the Bulgars back to a primitive society.

This has led to the unique situation of the Bulgars today, which is semi-feudal and semi-nomadic.

Unfortunately, times have changed, and the two-thousand-year-old Eastern Empire finally collapsed in the face of endless enemies. The Bulgars became a sword hanging over the head of the Storm Kingdom, which inherited the core of the Eastern Empire.

Feng Shui turns.

Sunan instructed his old butler, Warwick, to throw another vial of potion at the obsidian statue.

In the wolf pack effect, Su Nan witnessed hundreds of sleepy creatures being forced to be sucked into the obsidian statue of the Lord of Beasts.

"There's something wrong with that obsidian statue. I don't know if it's a problem with the material, or if the statue of the Beast Lord has a special ability to absorb nearby magic. AI, check it."

Okay. After inspection, the main material of the statue is a single material, entirely obsidian.

[Speculation: Obsidian in this world has the effect of absorbing magic. If a large amount of obsidian is used to create statues, it is very likely that they will absorb all the magic in the surrounding area.]

However, this does not mean the magic is eliminated; the magic will be concentrated in one area to the greatest extent possible, and may even strengthen certain types of magic.

[When magic gathers together, it creates a gravitational void that presses down on the material plane, causing surrounding magic to be involuntarily drawn towards it. This is why obsidian statues are mass-produced; they actively absorb surrounding magic.]

The current statue has absorbed a significant amount of magical power; it is recommended to modify it using sacrificial stones and potions.

Southern Jiangsu also shares this intention.

He ordered the werewolves to take the idol back, and he would find the artisans in his territory to modify it and turn it into a new sacrificial stone golem.

Warwick said to Sunan, "Young master, besides that, I found a parchment scroll in the Bulgar camp. It was probably dug out of the noble's collection when the Bulgars looted it."

"Look, this also bears the coat of arms of Baron Frank's family."

"You have a particular fondness for collecting old books. I've had my eye on this parchment scroll for a while now. Do you think it might be of any use to you?"

Through the wolf pack effect, Su Nan saw this parchment scroll through Warwick's eyes.

Even at first glance, Su Nan was somewhat surprised. "I didn't expect that Frank would have such good stuff at home."

"However, I suspect that even he himself is not entirely aware of the existence of this thing."

"The Bulgarians are like plows tilling the land, uncovering many things hidden there."

This situation also occurred in my previous life. Many nobles liked to use precious metals as burial goods, which led to deflation in society. As a result, warlords and powerful families had no choice but to dump corpses and dig up graves to fund their military.

Su Nan said to the old butler, "Mr. Warwick, this parchment scroll records that an ancestor of the Frank family secretly copied this down while serving as a mortal assistant and servant to a first-class wizard apprentice during his experiments."

"It's a pity that this person has no talent for wizardry. But he wants to leave something for his family's descendants, so perhaps there will be someone with wizarding talent among his descendants."

"This scroll contains experimental records of two apprentice-level spells. Although the information is incomplete, it is sufficient for me."

These two apprentice-level spells are: Summon Lesser Fireflies and Mortal Retreat Barrier.

Although the records are incomplete, with Su Nan's current knowledge, he can roughly estimate the effects of these two spells.

Summoning Lesser Fireflies is a type of fire magic.

Fortunately, no one in the Frank family knows this kind of magic, otherwise it might pose some obstacles to their werewolf army.

The Mortal Retreat Barrier is a type of barrier that can exert a mental suggestion on mortals who approach it, preventing those with a mental strength below 2 from getting close to a certain place.

Overall, they are all quite useful.

Although the data is incomplete, it can be fully calculated by the AI's big data and then transformed into a magic potion recipe.

Tonight's harvest was plentiful.

Moreover, Su Nan had the idea of ​​taking over Frank Territory as well, since the entire Frank Territory had been destroyed and Baron Frank was finished.

Given the current chaotic feudal laws of the Storm Kingdom, even if I were to take over this territory, no one would say anything against me.

He didn't want to put the battlefield on his own territory, because then the people who died would be his own subjects.

Having a Frankenstein's collar as a shield might not be a bad idea.

However, Su Nan was not prepared to spend too much time on this matter; if it could be accomplished, great; if not, so be it.

So he first summoned back all the werewolf troops and had them carry all the looted treasures back to their castle.
