Werewolf wizard

Chapter 60: Words of the Dead, Meditation Technique, and Lesser Death Breath Curse

Su Nan didn't open the two scrolls himself, but had Vasili, the Death Knight, open them for him, since he was now in a state of non-life and non-death.

Fortunately, there were no traps in either of the scrolls.

On the contrary, one scroll was inscribed with [Words of the Dead Meditation Technique], but it was incomplete, like a small portion copied from a complete book.

This meditation technique could only be cultivated up to the level of a second-class wizard apprentice; even the part for a first-class wizard apprentice was missing.

But this was the first meditation technique Su Nan had ever come into contact with!

Just after a glance, Su Nan's mental power and mana automatically changed, automatically combining special runes of the Words of the Dead within his mental world. These special runes formed geometric patterns, which were even four-dimensional structures.

Within this four-dimensional structure, Su Nan felt for the first time that he could clearly see the mysteries of death.

Countless mysteries were waiting for him to touch and analyze.

This was the heritage left behind by the great and glorious wizard civilization more than two thousand years ago. Su Nan only glanced at it and felt the civilization's immense weight, and at the same time, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

It was a doubt about his own path.

His potion system was a special system produced by a previous lack of contact with true wizards. If he were to come into contact with true wizards, how would he need to adjust?

Su Nan has always hated any indecisive decisions. Some things, you either do them or you don't. Being indecisive, wanting all the benefits, usually results in nothing being accomplished.

Losing everything.

At the same time, Su Nan looked at the other parchment scroll, which was a spell model of death magic, with the spell name [Lesser Death Breath Curse].

The Lesser Death Breath Curse should be a simplified version of a first-circle spell. After use, it allows the user to breathe out a stream of deathly aura.

The life force of any living creature tainted by this deathly aura would be severely damaged.

If Su Nan could master this spell, it would greatly increase his combat power.

However, this spell model was also incomplete, with only about two-thirds of the content.

After thinking carefully, Su Nan understood the reason.

Vasili, the Death Knight, said, "My master, this is great! I have finally seen through much of the brainwashing the Church once did to me. Their control over my thoughts has been broken again quite a bit."

"Meeting you is my opportunity."

"So, there really are wizards in this world."

"But master, why would that wizard give us two things that seem so important? Is this a trap, or is there something wrong with them?"

Su Nan shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with these things. There's nothing wrong with the meditation technique, and there's nothing wrong with the spell model. For wizards who lack heritage, these two things are indeed good things."

"At the same time, I also understand what he meant by lacking heritage."

"At least among the wizards more than two thousand years ago, the meditation technique was the trunk of a tree, then spells were the branches. Spells would be paired with meditation techniques to form more powerful spells, but the consumption would be smaller."

Su Nan said, "There's also the understanding of spells, the understanding of magic."

"Those Forgotten Ones possess the foundation of the wizard civilization more than two thousand years ago. They possess the understanding and innovation of magic from that wizard civilization."

"They also have the understanding of magic from the founding wizards of their respective schools. Their magic frameworks and spell types have all benefited from this."

"They also have the optimizations of their school's spell system and magic system over thousands of years."

Su Nan looked at the two scrolls. The other party's intentions were not difficult to guess. He said, "The other party directly gave me two things that are very precious to me, wanting to use this to tell me these things."

"These two scrolls are like a key, allowing me to see another world."

"But it's only seeing another world; I can't even see the entire door to that world."

Su Nan sneered. "As expected of a wizard, their behavior logic is completely different from the madmen of the cultists and warlocks."

"I can't see the entire door leading to another world, but that world is so attractive to me. From now on, I will be uneasy. I will waste a lot of time on it. I will have no time to take care of other things, focusing on researching and exploring truth and mysteries."

"He wants to distract me, so that, at least for a long time, I will be inactive, and eventually even beg him."

"That is his purpose."

The purpose of that Forgotten One, the old wizard, was to give himself a little benefit, to make himself voluntarily withdraw from searching for the Four Seasons Garden.

At the same time, because he gave himself benefits, it led to the fact that he could not just turn against him in a life-and-death situation.

Even in the future, if necessary, he could choose to become friends with himself, and so on.

This way of doing things, which retained room for compromise, yet accurately hit the other party's weak spot…

As expected of a wizard.

Indeed, it was completely different from the knight group and the warlock group.

Su Nan smiled. However, since the other party was so communicative, they certainly wouldn't mind discovering that the Four Seasons Garden now belonged to a powerful wizard.

It wouldn't be himself who would compromise, but him.

"I need to advance to a first-class wizard apprentice as soon as possible to strengthen my magical power. As long as I am much stronger than them, I think these Forgotten Ones will voluntarily compromise and won't be foolish enough to seek death," Su Nan thought. "Even if they actively seek death, I'm not afraid. It just so happens that they have what I want in their hands."

However, Su Nan would not turn against them at this time, because he didn't even know where the Forgotten Ones' base was.

The Forgotten Ones were in the dark, and he was in the light.

To reverse the current situation, he needed to think of some other way.

At the same time, he had to continue to strengthen his magic legion. There were actually five strengthening routes now.

First, continue to strengthen and develop the werewolf团 (corps/group).

Second, start investing resources in the golem legion.

Third, invest resources in the Death Knights.

Fourth, develop more general-purpose potions, such as the Drowsy Bug series, the Firefly series, and the One-Legged Zombie series.

Fifth, invest time in those potions that can strengthen oneself.

However, these five things could be done simultaneously. He was currently having the supercomputer deduce a super werewolf Frenzy Potion for a second sublimation, and he had also purchased fifty hound pups and was preparing to expand the werewolf warrior corps in the near future.

The main direction of expansion for the golem legion was still gargoyles. This would require the cooperation of Solon, the great artist in his territory.

Similarly, potions to enhance oneself and general-purpose potions were also being developed at an accelerated pace.

But there were usage restrictions on Death Knight potions. Su Nan found that converting Death Knights put a lot of pressure on him. Maintaining one with his current mana state was okay.

But to convert multiple ones, he might need to become a first-class wizard apprentice.

After all, Death Knights required him to negotiate and sign contracts with death.

Su Nan said to the supercomputer in his mind: 'I want to design a unit that can provide ranged (magic) support to my wolf corps.'

[Yes, with the current data, as well as the two newly acquired scrolls, and the ancient books you have collected from the merchants of Maple Leaf Town during this period, perhaps we can redesign a Great Tree Guardian Potion to be administered to trees.]
