Werewolf wizard

Chapter 21: The First Spectre Series Potion

Maple Leaf Town, Town Council Hall.

The Maple Leaf Town of today is no longer the prosperous place it was half a year ago.

The power and brutality of Gus Pasha have destroyed the relaxed business environment here.

Merchants are cautious every day. If the commercial center wasn't impossible to change in a short time, they wouldn't bring caravans here anymore.

Gus Pasha's rule has led to arbitrary taxation, and law enforcement officers freely rob merchants.

Therefore, the originally bustling street in front of the Maple Leaf Town Council Hall is now desolate. Merchants and customers alike are silent, afraid to make a sound.

Lest they disturb the knightly lords in the Town Council Hall.

But inside the Town Council Hall, Gus Pasha, Mayor Shawkat, and a group of guards and knight attendants are also silent.

A silent anger surrounds the Town Council Hall.

Gus Pasha caresses the pale face of his brother, Warren's corpse. Deep anger flows in his eyes. When he lifts the white cloth covering his brother Warren's chest and sees that Warren's heart has been dug out, he crushes the wooden tabletop next to him.

"Yesterday, I sent Warren with men to hunt down those fugitives. This morning, their bodies were thrown at the town gate."

"My brother couldn't even keep his body intact. His heart is gone, and his body is covered with claw marks from some large animal. Who did this?"

The Storm Church proclaims that only those whose bodies remain intact after death can enter the divine kingdom of the Storm God. Otherwise, they will not receive the Storm God's redemption, and their souls can only enter the Crimson Hell.

This is also the reason for Gus Pasha's rage.

Mayor Shawkat reminds him, "Lord Pasha, my son also died at the hands of this monster."

He stops speaking the next moment, because Gus Pasha's scarlet eyes are glaring at him, as if he's about to devour him.

Gus Pasha says, one word at a time, "My brother's life, how can it be compared to your useless son's life?!"

After being rebuffed like this, Mayor Shawkat's face turns red. He wants to get angry, but he discovers in horror that there are few familiar faces left in the Town Council Hall.

He's been sidelined!

The militia captain was originally his last confidant.

But last night, the militia captain also died with Warren. This means he has completely lost control of Maple Leaf Town.

A soldier pushes open the door and enters the Town Council Hall. The soldier quickly runs to Gus Pasha and says, "Lord, we've found out."

"Yesterday, those fugitives all fled to the territory of Baron Su Nan."

Gus Pasha looks somewhat stunned. "What did you say? They didn't flee to the territory of Knight Meryl Barragan, but fled to that brat's territory?"

"If that's the case…"

Mayor Shawkat's eyes light up, and he says with hatred, "Ah, I knew it."

"The mastermind is the Baron."

"My son, I will definitely avenge you."

Gus Pasha's eyes are somewhat lost. Five and a half years ago, Su Nan was just an ordinary eleven-year-old boy. At that time, he could have killed that little baron with a single finger.

But now, why does the other party seem so unfathomable?

The fact that the other party killed his brother Warren proves that the other party has combat abilities to contend with elite knight attendants, but how is this possible?

In the past five years, his territory and Maple Leaf Town have been secretly weakening the true owner of this territory, preventing Su Nan from recruiting enough military power to unify this barony.

Not only them, but even the other two official knights, including Knight Meryl Barragan, who has always been at odds with him, have been secretly preventing Su Nan from contacting the outside world.

But right under their noses, the little baron has actually grown to this point.

Where did he recruit manpower from?

Where did he get the power from?!

In recent years, he's mostly heard that the little baron likes some useless miscellaneous books, but this is obviously something that leads to the loss of ambition, so he hasn't cared much about this, and casually let the little baron trade for various books.

Moreover, he had spies check those books, and basically none of them involved knight combat skills or military engineering.

Gus Pasha is a typical Storm Knight, a boor. He obviously can't imagine that Su Nan could deduce the existence of wizards from a pile of miscellaneous books and ancient texts, and deduce potion formulas.

For him, he's too pragmatic. As long as it doesn't seem to increase combat power immediately, or if it's even slightly abstract, he'll think that kind of thing is useless, and then he won't care about it.

Gus Pasha thinks of something, suddenly grabs the priest's collar, and drags him in front of Warren's corpse. "Aren't you a priest?"

"If my brother was really killed by a monster, what do you think we should do to deal with that monster?"

Although Gus Pasha always feels that the other party is playing some trick, and there are no real monsters, under the continuous bizarre attacks from Su Nan, he is forced to ask the thin priest he used to look down on for advice.

But that priest obviously doesn't know the current situation either.

He stammers, "Maybe… maybe holy water blessed by the Storm God will work. According to religious classics, the Storm God is in charge of storms and rain. Holy water blessed by the Storm God has special power that can expel evil."

"Lord Gus Pasha… you might as well try it. There's a lot of blessed holy water in the church in town. Smear that holy water on your weapons, maybe it can restrain those monsters. If there really are those monsters."

"Then let's do that. I hope this water blessed by you priests can really be of some use. But even if it's useless, it doesn't matter, just let my soldiers believe that the holy water is useful." Gus Pasha always feels that Su Nan is just pretending to be a ghost, attacking the morale of his army.

He thinks for a moment, and says, "Call Knight Harlan over."

"Tomorrow, I will make this little baron pay the price."

"Originally, for the sake of his father, I would have left him a way out. I would have given him enough money to leave here and go to Storm Keep in the royal city to live the life of an ordinary person."

"But since he dares to make it like this now, then don't blame me."

Knight Harlan was originally the third official knight in Peter Baron's territory.

But he was defeated by Gus Pasha two years ago, and has half-submitted to Gus Pasha's command.

If Gus Pasha becomes the new baron, he will also enfeeoff Knight Harlan as his vassal.

Soon, evening arrives.

Maple Leaf Town originally didn't have a curfew, after all, it was the commercial center nearby, but Gus Pasha is still managing Maple Leaf Town with the mindset of managing a knight's territory, so the various checkpoints in Maple Leaf Town have been blocked by his soldiers.

At the same time, Knight Harlan leads fifty infantrymen into Maple Leaf Town, because Gus Pasha is preparing to lead a large force to the Peter family's castle early tomorrow morning.

For a complete showdown.

But…

Tonight happens to be the night of the full moon. A round full moon like a silver plate hangs in the night sky, obscuring all the stars and lighting up the night sky.

At this time, at the Maple Leaf Town toll station, a soldier holding a short sword doesn't even have time to react before he is knocked to the ground by the claw of a huge werewolf messenger. His head is also smashed into a rotten watermelon by a claw.

Su Nan, accompanied by Warwick and Pella, and even Robert, appears on the high ground next to Maple Leaf Town.

Old Steward Warwick says, "Young Master, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"The old baron will be very happy too."

"Mm. There's no need to wait until tomorrow. Today, I will make my enemies unable to see tomorrow's sun." Su Nan glances at Warwick, and says to the AI in his heart, 'Start recording werewolf combat data.'

Previously, he obtained a special knight's heart from Warren, which directly increased the progress of the AI's calculation of the Spectre potion formula by 37%, and at the same time increased the progress bar of the Super Werewolf potion by 10%, and increased the calculation progress of the Mental Enhancement Potion +2 by 4%.

In this way, he directly completed all the calculation progress of the Spectre potion, the calculation progress of the Mental Enhancement Potion +2 became 41%, and the calculation progress of the Super Werewolf potion was 18%.

This means that if he can obtain the heart of an official knight, it will definitely be of great benefit to him, and he can calculate more powerful and more potions.

In addition, the town library of Maple Leaf Town is the learning center for scholars nearby. Obtaining the information there will also be very useful to him.

This gives him considerable motivation to take back Maple Leaf Town.

Su Nan picks up a bottle of violet potion hanging from his waist. This is his first Spectre series potion—Spectre · Knight Apprentice.

Its main ingredients are 50 grams of tissue from the heart of a knight apprentice, as well as graveyard bone ash and locust tree flowers growing in the graveyard.

These materials, apart from the knight apprentice's heart being difficult to obtain and requiring a slightly larger amount, are very common. Therefore, he spent an entire day today completing the first production of the Spectre series potion.

The manufacturing difficulty of Spectre · Knight Apprentice is at the level of a second-class wizard apprentice, but the potion formula has been optimized by the AI. The core principle used is actually the same as the Soul Artificial Remodeling of the Orr Guardian.
