Werewolf wizard

Chapter 140: Aether Magic Stone and the Inquisition of the Benedictine Religious Tribunal

The lizardman general looked back and found that his lizardman guards had all been killed by the super werewolf messengers.

His own head was even covered by the claws of the mutated werewolf, Wolfie; if Wolfie wanted, his head would be gone in the next moment.

The lizardman general directly and smoothly knelt down in horror, just as he would when facing those arcanists and drow matriarchs in the underground world.

He removed his weapon, shield, and head armor and threw them on the city wall. "Great arcanist, I am willing to surrender."

"Great arcanist, we absolutely did not mean to offend you. I am willing to become your slave…"

"Please don't kill us, we can become your soldiers!"

Unlike the surface world, which practices a feudal system, the underground world generally practices a slave system, and the largest source of slaves is the soldiers of the defeated side.

Therefore, the lizardman general wanted to surrender without any psychological pressure, becoming Su Nan's slave.

After all, this was the rule of the underground world.

Su Nan manipulated Wolfie's body and said to him, "Become my soldiers? Based on your weak combat ability?"

"Are you worthy?"

"I haven't even let my army truly exert its strength; otherwise, you would be completely annihilated the moment you came into contact with my army."

The lizardman general's face was pale, and he was so frightened that his tail drooped to the ground, even tending to break it off. "We… we are not worthy…"

"We can still be slave laborers… great arcanist…"

Su Nan had no intention of continuing this kind of conversation with him, so through Wolfie's body, he directly asked, "Is your army the main force of the underground city? Or are you just a miscellaneous vanguard?"

The lizardman general stammered, "Great arcanist, we… are just the outer army of the main city. The truly powerful ones are the drow warriors directly under the matriarch and the matriarch's upper-level races leading the army."

"But we can still be very useful, please don't kill us. I still have three aether stones here, which I want to offer to you, great arcanist."

The lizardman general thought that Su Nan was disgusted by their low combat effectiveness and that they were not even the arcanist's direct army, so in order to survive, he began to rack his brains for ideas.

On the side, the formal knight of the Mace family, who was pinned to the city wall by three spears, was already dying.

But before he died, he still saw the underground world army that had captured their family castle being instantly destroyed and captured by the werewolf regiment.

He closed his eyes willingly. "It's really retribution, evil has its reward."

"Those werewolves are so powerful…"

"The Mace family is finished."

The Mace family was originally an outsider family and constantly needed to suppress the civilians in the Mace territory who believed in the God of Law. Except for Peter's territory, the civilians in all territories who believed in the God of Law were generating more and more friction with their storm lords.

Now that the Mace family has lost so many family knights, I am afraid that they will face the disintegration of their territory next.

Peter's territory, on the other hand, was under Su Nan's management, and there was no oppression of civilians at all. The governance was clear, and the satisfaction of the people throughout the territory was extremely high.

Su Nan was not like other storm lords, engaging in any heaven-defying measures to discriminate against believers in the God of Law.

Naturally, there was no conflict between the believers of the God of Law and the believers of the God of Storm in the territory.

Su Nan ordered the werewolf regiment to collect all the weapons and armor of the captured underground world soldiers, especially the equipment made of blue-silver metal and aether stones, and then escort them to the dungeon of Peter's Castle, and notify Warwick to arrange for the werewolves to put shackles and torture instruments on these underground world monsters.

Su Nan prepared to torture these guys to understand the specific information about the underground world, arcane magic, and special aether magic.

Su Nan discovered that the three aether stones contained a kind of magic energy that did not exist on the surface.

This had nothing to do with the ebb and flow of the magic tide.

That kind of magic energy seemed to be naturally heavier than other magic elements, so it would not appear on the surface but could only appear underground.

This aether stone may be a new category of magic discovered in the more than two thousand years since the batch of wizards who advocated moving underground moved to the underground world, so the Oak Wizard did not even mention this kind of magic.

Then this is very worthy of careful study.

For wizards, knowledge is power, and information is the way to gain power.

From aether stone magic, Su Nan felt that he might be able to dig out something that could help him become a formal wizard.

After solving the underground world's monster army, Su Nan arranged for Warwick to come and clean up the battlefield. At the same time, Su Nan also discovered that Baron Caron Mace had died in the siege just now.

As a knight attendant of the Mace family, he also rushed to the city wall. Perhaps he did not want to risk his life, but because of the aether stone magic, all the weapons and armor of the Mace family lost their function, causing him to not even have time to escape before being pierced through his heart by several lizardman soldiers with spears and dying.

Su Nan asked the werewolves to collect the corpses of the Mace family knights and also asked Warwick to arrange for the human militia in his territory to take over the castle.

Although he did not take down this castle himself, the creatures of the underground world helped him take it down and killed Baron Caron Mace and destroyed all the soldiers of the Mace family headquarters.

Having done all this, Su Nan was embarrassed to throw away what he had picked up, so he ordered the militia to control the entire castle and control all the members of the Mace family and escort them to Peter's Baron Castle.

Anyway, even if there are storm lords or the church, or even the royal family, who question him, he has a reason.

It was not him who slaughtered this fortress, but the creatures of the underground world.

Moreover, the Storm Kingdom is already overwhelmed everywhere. The royal family has not yet negotiated the reward with the Bulgars to redeem the captured old Storm King.

Su Nan even felt that if the Storm Royal Family was smart, they should immediately establish a new king; otherwise, the Bulgars would hold the emperor to command the princes. Why would they release the old king in their hands for a little ransom?

At the same time, Su Nan focused his attention on Moria in the Achaean Peninsula, thousands of miles away, inside the church.

At this moment, many high-level church officials from the Achaean pastoral area were sitting on the high platform in this church with the characteristics of the Storm Church style.

These clergymen were questioning Borgia, who was standing below the high platform of the church, one sentence at a time.

"Borgia, you said that you killed this wizard with a two-handed knight's sword… Why are you now changing your story and saying that you used a one-and-a-half-handed sword? Have you considered your wording carefully?"

"Borgia, why did the bishop and all the church's divine knights die, but you survived? I ask you, are you more powerful than the divine knights? Can you compete with a formal storm knight on the spot to prove your statement?"

"Borgia, we are not targeting you. It's just that the bishop died, but you said that wizards really exist, which violates the public opinion proposed by Archbishop Mosilini at the Council of Hagia Sophia that wizards do not really exist. We must follow a specific interrogation procedure and let the Benedictine Religious Tribunal jointly interrogate you."

"But don't worry, if you really made a contribution to the church, we will also recognize your merits."
