Werewolf wizard

Chapter 1 The Barony of Peter

Storm Kingdom, Peter Barony.

Before the dust-covered castle, overgrown with ivy.

A fired arrow struck a wolf running swiftly through the forest.

Two German Shepherd-like hounds beside Su Nan sped off, chasing after the wounded wolf, constantly nipping and biting at its rear, draining its stamina.

About a quarter of an hour later, the two hounds returned to Su Nan, carrying the wolf's carcass in their mouths.

The 16-year-old young Baron, Su Nan, clad in leather armor, sat astride a white-browed warhorse, arrows on his back, black gloves on his hands, and a powerful bow in his grasp; he was the one who had shot the arrow at the speeding wolf.

Behind him followed six soldiers, though these soldiers only wore cloth armor and wielded farm tools as weapons.

His knight attendant, about thirty years old, knelt down and used a finely crafted dagger to slit the wolf's throat, collecting the wolf's blood in a wooden bucket.

The knight attendant, Robert, asked with a puzzled expression, "My lord, what do you need a wolf's blood for? Can this really cure the old butler?"

"Rest assured, the medicinal ingredients have been gathered," Su Nan replied succinctly.

With this, the materials for the werewolf curse potion were all collected.

He could only hope that the list of medicinal ingredients, deduced by the AI, based on incomplete information, was effective.

However, there was no other way; he could only try anything to save his loyal old butler.

Su Nan mentally commanded the super artificial AI, integrated with him, to re-analyze the data before him—

[Su Nan]

[Age: 16]

[Strength: 1]

[Speed: 1]

[Constitution: 1]

[Mental Strength: 8.5]

[An ordinary adult male's stats are compressed to 1. Based on the currently loaded 36,111 books related to 'Magic' and 'Wizards,' the minimum mental standard for a wizard is estimated to be 10.]

Su Nan raised his eyebrows; in fact, he had transmigrated here five years ago.

He was an eleven-year-old child when he transmigrated.

At that time, the original Baron of this territory, Peter, who was also his father, participated in the war under the summons of the Storm Kingdom.

But when he returned, he was carried back on a stretcher.

Baron Peter did not die from the enemy's blades, but his body was covered in bizarre ulcers, and he kept saying that their troops had accidentally entered an ancient tomb, and that those who stole the tomb's treasures, and their descendants, would be cursed and would not live to adulthood.

The Baron died in this strange situation.

Leaving behind a mess.

Originally, Peter Barony possessed a relatively wealthy commercial town, Maple Leaf Town, as well as seven villages, a large manor, and three affiliated knightly territories.

It was considered a relatively powerful territory among the baronies.

But after the death of Baron Peter, a formal knight, and the inheritance of the baronial title by the eleven-year-old Su Nan, the entire territory disintegrated.

The lords of the three knightly territories no longer effectively recognized the new Baron Peter—Su Nan—as their lord, although nominally they were still part of the barony, but in reality, they had become independent.

The council of Maple Leaf Town, of course, also chose independence.

Because it was clear that Su Nan at the time did not have sufficient military capabilities to protect the wealth of Maple Leaf Town, so Maple Leaf Town no longer paid taxes to Su Nan.

Instead, they hired mercenaries, organized their own militia, and protected themselves.

The seven villages were also seized by these knights, taking the six wealthiest, leaving only the poorest and most loyal, Amorode Village.

Su Nan was speechless to discover that he was left with only an ancestral manor, a poor village, and three nominal knightly territories and a nominal commercial town.

But although the three knightly territories and Maple Leaf Town had become independent, they left the debts on his shoulders.

That year, Baron Peter had borrowed approximately 30,000 gold coins from the royal family of the kingdom in order to establish a commercial town in the development zone and bring wealth to his territory.

So, although Maple Leaf Town was effectively independent, in the eyes of the royal family of the Storm Kingdom, Maple Leaf Town still belonged to Peter Barony, so they would only come to him for the debt.

His loyal old butler, Warwick, because the royal tax collectors came to urge the payment several times, had to set off for Maple Leaf Town, hoping that the town council of Maple Leaf Town could voluntarily repay this part of the loan.

Who knew that the town council of Maple Leaf Town actually hired a bunch of rascals who beat up the old butler.

The poor old butler was seriously injured and lay on the bed in his manor castle, cared for only by the maidservant, his life hanging by a thread.

Su Nan originally wanted to believe in the state religion of the Storm Kingdom—the Storm God of the Storm Church—and then embark on the path of the Storm Knight.

But alas, he had received too much atheist education in his previous life, and he at most regarded the Storm God (if it really existed) as a higher life form.

Therefore, it was difficult for him to philosophize and theologize it, and to love the Storm God as if it were his father.

But the knightly profession in this world requires one to first believe, and then through one's own years of training, the blessing of special secret medicines, and most importantly, the washing of faith, one can gradually strengthen one's body and become a formal knight.

According to the AI chip's prediction, the standard strength of a formal knight should be 3, the standard speed is 3, and the standard constitution is 3, which is three times stronger than an ordinary adult male in all aspects.

This is an astonishing number.

After all, as long as you are 20% stronger than others, you can produce an absolute crushing effect, making you a brave and skilled warrior.

What's more, his physical fitness in all aspects is three times stronger than the average adult male.

It can be said that the formal knights of this world are all like miniature Captain Americas.

This has also resulted in the extremely powerful feudal forces in this world.

After all, as the core of the feudal system—the knights—this class is much stronger than in the Middle Ages of my previous life, so this world has long remained in the medieval stage.

If I become a formal knight, perhaps I can restore the divided Peter Barony, but the problem is that I cannot follow the path of a knight.

At this time, Su Nan set his sights on the legends of the so-called wizards mentioned in the ancient books in his father's library.

According to ancient books, whether wizards really exist or not, at least in legends, the wizards of this world are basically atheists.

This is very compatible with me.

So, I used the super artificial AI intelligent chip that I brought with me when I traveled through time to continuously scan relevant books, collect wizard information, and try to find those wizards.

Although I didn't find a real wizard, the super artificial AI deduced some possible magic potion recipes from the clues in these books, and through the previous five years, scanned local plants, animals, minerals, traditional culture and other materials, trying to supplement some of the reverse-engineered magic potion recipes.

Su Nan asked the servants to take out a bottle of azure blue magic potion from the wooden box.

The potion in this glass bottle even flickered with specks of blue light, as dazzling as the starry sky, as if there was a galaxy spinning inside.

Su Nan opened the potion and drank it in one gulp.

This is the first potion [Mental Power Enhancement Potion] that I have deduced from various miscellaneous books over the past five years using super artificial AI.

For the past two years, he has been drinking a bottle of this potion every day.

This has led to his mental power being continuously strengthened, reaching 8.5 times the average mental power of ordinary people.

The super artificial intelligence AI is the golden finger that I brought with me when I traveled through time.

In fact, the essence of my time travel was being struck by lightning.

That day, I was living on the 27th floor and playing a game of Europa Universalis 40K on the balcony during a thunderstorm, and after I achieved a technological victory (mechanical ascension), I obtained a [Central Brain Chip] that could control the entire human interstellar society.

As a result, a bolt of lightning struck down, and I traveled through time.

I don't know why, but this chip actually merged with me and materialized from the game, becoming a real central brain chip with powerful functions.

Of course, the chip has many external interfaces and must be used with a planetary device to become an intelligent control chip in the center of the galaxy.

I don't currently have enough resources to make the chip's computing power expansion device.

But even so, the brain still has enough computing power to collect the Peter Barony, and even the plant and animal system information of this Mediterranean development area, and deduce some clues about wizards from the messy miscellaneous books.

For example, the mental power enhancement potion I take every day has brought me some benefits. My mental power has become very strong, making it easier to concentrate, and it is easier to notice some small details that I didn't notice before.

Even, I can feel some basic emotions from others, such as sadness and anger.

After Su Nan got the wolf blood, he said to the knight attendant Robert beside him: "Let's go, let's return to the castle."

"I will not fail to avenge the old butler. After five years of dormancy, I have gained enough power to protect myself."

The main thing is that the territory can be discussed later.

But I also want to become a transcendent, become a wizard, become those wizards in storybooks who play with death and manipulate life and death.

The path of the knight is actually limited. Even if you become a so-called legendary knight, you will only live a few decades longer than ordinary people.

If you are an ordinary great knight, knight, or even shorter than the average person's lifespan, after all, long-term high-intensity combat and training itself is very energy-consuming.

Even to maintain his exaggerated muscles all over his body, he needs to consume a lot of energy every moment.

The Storm Church is always preaching, don't resist death, because after death, believers can go to the kingdom of the Storm God.

But for the atheist Su Nan, it's worse than saying nothing.

Even if it's true, what can someone like me do when I go to the god's kingdom? Be a pet that sings hymns for the Storm God?

On the contrary, the wizard...

Su Nan had read a travelogue that recorded a wizard who had lived for five hundred years. His life was coming to an end, but he couldn't break through the realm and go to the next level.

So, before he died, he transformed himself into a lich.

He can walk in this world again and enjoy the beauty of this world.

Su Nan said to his soldiers in shabby cloth armor: "We are returning to the castle."

The two hounds immediately stopped gnawing on the remaining body of the wild wolf and took the initiative to walk in front of the team, leading the way through the jungle.
