Chapter 240: One Should Not Feel Ashamed of Their Talents

Su Nan examined the four-times-ascended Treants with satisfaction.

Expecting these Treants to improve themselves like Vasilyan was mostly impossible; these War Treants were like people who had just woken up.

Moreover, they would still need some time to completely digest the potion.

These Treants had a Strength and Constitution of 7, but their Speed, like the Golem, was a pathetic 2.

Although it was fast enough for ordinary humans, it was a bit slow for opponents of the same level.

And the number 7 was the standard for Storm Knights.

But these were just extras, because the truly important thing about War Treants was their ability to cast plant magic.

All of these War Treants had a Spirit and Mana above 80.

Moreover, these War Treants had solidified seven botanical spells within the potion—0.7 ring [Enchant Small Treant], 0.5 ring [Root Entanglement Spell], 0.7 ring [War Throw], 0.5 ring [Life Healing], 0.7 ring [Treant Shield], 0.5 ring [Word of Nature], 0.5 ring [Animal Communication].

Enchant Small Treant temporarily turns a tree into a Treant, reverting it after an hour.

Root Entanglement is the signature move of Oak Wizards; War Throw is the act of plucking a branch from the treetop and throwing it like a wooden spear, possessing great destructive power.

Life Healing uses natural magic to accelerate the recovery speed of a unit of life force.

Treant Shield forms a natural energy shield to resist enemy attacks.

These five spells are control, summoning, output, healing, and defense, respectively.

Once I gather the potion ingredients for creating Knowledge Treants, the Knowledge Treants will also have these five spells, each proficient in one direction, making them very balanced.

Word of Nature and Animal Communication allow each War Treant to communicate with flowers, trees, and the animals in the forest, establishing communication with the entire forest.

In this way, the entire forest will be Su Nan's eyes and ears.

Because Su Nan can communicate with the forest through the Treants, issuing commands to the woodlands and animals in Peter's territory.

Once my five-times-ascended Knowledge Treant is transformed, it will be even easier to control the entire forest in the territory.

Su Nan gave orders to the War Treants, "I have reclaimed a hundred acres of black soil in the Four Seasons Garden and planted plants such as ginseng, astragalus, sage, and other magical materials that I often use."

"I need you to first divide five Treants to take care of my magic fields in the Four Seasons Garden.

And I need five Treants to leave this secret realm, enter my territory, go to the forests of Peter's territory, communicate with all the trees, and make them stand on my side."

As a Wizard Lord, what I rule should not only be the humans in the territory, but also all the flowers, trees, and animals in the territory.

These should all be mine!

Just as Su Nan said in his declaration of war against the Underground Main City, everything within the scope of my territory, above, below, and on the surface, should be loyal to me.

Moreover, having the trees and plants stand on my side has a great advantage.

That is, the next time the beings of the energy world want to invade my territory again, it will be more difficult.

The War Treants bowed to Su Nan. "Wizard Lord, Master of the Forest, we will do as you command."

"The forest should be ruled by you, and we guarantee that all the trees in your territory will stand on your side."

Su Nan added them to the Wolf Pack Effect.

Immediately, the War Treants discovered that the composition of Peter's territory was indeed complex—werewolves, stone men, death knights, gargoyles, and swarms of insects; it seemed to have everything.

One War Treant said, "So, the great Wizard Master requires even the stones to be loyal."

One War Treant was a little afraid of the Arcane Insect Swarm. "When I'm sleeping, I often feel insects gnawing at my body."

"The insects are too scary."

Jinx protested in the Wolf Pack Effect, stating that the Arcane Insect Swarm would not eat them, and asked the Treants to rest assured.

Jinx stated that the Insect Swarm has been constantly trying to devour the black hole creatures beneath Peter's Main City.

The Insect Swarm is challenging more challenging food.

Unfortunately, so far, the black hole creatures have 'eaten' more of the Insect Swarm…

The War Treant scratched its treetop head with branches. "It's also difficult for us to be eaten…"

Su Nan then selected five War Treants and brought them to the surface, into the forests of Peter's territory.

The War Treants walked with Su Nan in the forest.

One War Treant excitedly pointed to a sparrow in front of him and said, "Oh, a bird, I finally saw a bird.

How can the top of a tree not have a bird's nest as an ornament!"

"Sparrow, come quickly and build your nest on top of my head."

Immediately, the sparrow standing on the beech tree in front was so frightened that it flew away.

Another War Treant said to him, "You should be more patient; you'll scare away all the small animals like that."

Su Nan looked at them and said, "In short, it's up to you to communicate with the flowers and trees in my territory and make them all loyal to me."

The five War Treants bowed and bent over to Su Nan. "Yes, Wizard Master."

At the same time, in the evening, Su Nan returned to the castle and came to a relatively independent area on the second floor, which was Julia's bedroom.

Julia Peter was the person in the Peter family who was most closely related to him.

When Su Nan learned from Bloom that Julia could see ghosts and had wizarding talent, he remembered this.

Although there wasn't much difference, supporting a wizard apprentice from the same family was better than finding one from outside.

Julia was extremely surprised to see Su Nan enter, because Su Nan was usually busy and never came to her.

Of course, Su Nan's rare visit made Julia very happy.

Julia raised her eyebrows at Su Nan and smiled, "Cousin, I didn't know you would come this evening, and I didn't even prepare a cup of tea."

"What made you think of coming over today?"

Su Nan waved his hand. "I don't drink much tea; tea easily makes people excited.

The coffee bean drink that was recently transported from the south is quite good instead."

In fact, drinking too much tea easily leads to theophylline poisoning, which easily makes people excited and easily angered, so there are more violent cases, quarrels, and fights in teahouses.

It's just that because this thing is less obvious than getting drunk from alcohol, many people don't notice it.

However, when drinking tea to the point where the heartbeat is abnormal, it means there is already a problem.

Julia nodded. "I see.

Su Nan, you are always so disciplined."

"Today, when I held a tea party in the castle, some noble ladies were guessing when they would meet someone who could move your heart."

Julia walked with Su Nan to the tea room specially provided for her in Peter's Castle, and she recalled, "They were very curious about what kind of woman it would take to move someone like Su Nan Peter."

Su Nan smiled slightly.

The atmosphere was always so relaxed when interacting with family members of his own age.

Julia said, "However, don't pay too much attention to what those noble girls say. In my opinion, they just want to get your preferences out of me, so they have a chance to become a Countess."

Su Nan nodded and said, "At my age, there's no need to rush this matter for the time being."

"Julia, I heard that you've been seeing ghosts a lot lately."

Julia immediately fell silent and stopped talking. Her face was a little pale, as if she was very afraid of those things.

Su Nan tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Can you tell me what you think of those ghosts?"

Julia bit her lip and said, "I'm very scared. Not just because of those ghosts, but also… The Church of the Storms says that after death, people go to God's kingdom. If they do evil or don't believe in God, they can only go to the Wall of the Faithless and endure eternal torment."

"But… now those ghosts are all on this land."

"I'm very scared. I feel like my faith is wavering, so I went to our uncle, Father Louis, to ask for his explanation, hoping that my faith would be strengthened again."

"But Uncle Louis told me that perhaps what the Church of the Storms preaches is not necessarily correct. Seeing is believing."

Julia Peter lowered her head and said, "So, I've completely fallen into confusion. Now I can only avoid thinking about these things and immerse myself in busy social activities. As soon as I'm alone, I can't help but think about those… blasphemous questions."

"Oh, heavens. Cousin, do you think I'm cursed?"

"Did I do something wrong, so I was abandoned by the God of Storms? Cousin, will I bring scandal to our Peter family? You are now a Grand Lord of the Storms. If my faith is not firm, then…"

Su Nan tapped the table and said, "I understand your thoughts now."

"Then what if I said that those wandering souls are, in a sense, raised by our family?"

Julia Peter's pupils suddenly shrank, and she immediately looked up at Su Nan.

"The family… is…"

Su Nan said, "Julia, there's no need to feel ashamed because you have doubts in your heart."

Julia said, "The Church of the Storms says… people cannot think about God… cannot test God. People must keep their minds pure, as ignorant as infants, to gain the praise of the God of Storms…"

Su Nan tapped the table with his fingers and smiled, "But the ability to doubt things and explore the truth and laws behind them is the most precious quality of mankind."

"Julia Peter, there's no need to be ashamed of your talent. Your questioning thoughts are your precious talent and will prevent you from echoing others blindly."

"Following the crowd."

"Julia, if you want, I can lead you into a world that questions the God of Storms and the Church."

Su Nan handed her a magic book. "You can refuse or accept, I'll only give you one chance to choose."

"When you open the first page of this book, there's no turning back, because it's impossible for a person to pretend to still be in that narrow cave after seeing a wider world."

"If you refuse, you can still spend your days having tea parties with your friends and looking for your Mr. Right, repeating the same day over and over again. But if you accept… the truth is always dangerous."

"Your past days will be gone, oh."

Julia looked at Su Nan, looking at this cousin who was both strange and familiar, feeling a little at a loss. "Su Nan, you…"

Su Nan said, "I have things to do, so I'll leave first. It doesn't matter if you refuse, anyway, you're still my family, and this blood relationship can't be severed. It's just that you'd better not mention this matter to others."

In fact, now that he was a Rank 1 Wizard, he could do things a little more unscrupulously, and since he had Borgia Frederick, anyone who dared to question him was just courting death.

As long as Borgia Frederick insisted that he was a devout Grand Lord of the Storms, even the Archbishop of the Church of the Storms would have to give him some face.

After Su Nan left, Julia Peter couldn't help but look at the magic book. Her pupils suddenly shrank because she saw that her hand had unknowingly been placed on the magic book.

The name of the magic book was [The Myriad Spirits Cauldron Meditation].

If Su Nan's alchemy system was to mature, there had to be some alchemy wizard apprentices to verify his path; otherwise, if only he walked it, it could only be called Su Nan Peter's path.

It was like when Su Nan used Fourfold Casting before. When the Oak Wizard saw it, he praised Su Nan Peter, not Fourfold Casting.

Because it was Su Nan Peter who was outstanding, not the extraordinary casting technique of Fourfold Casting.

At that time, the Oak Wizard judged that Fourfold Casting was essentially a special casting technique based on Su Nan Peter's talent, and it did not have the value of being copied, repeated, or learned by future generations.

Moreover, if Julia could really walk his alchemy path and become his second wizard apprentice in alchemy, then she would be able to refine some potions in the future.

He would have another free laborer.

Of course, it was estimated that this was something that would happen a long time later. Even if Julia received his alchemy resources and help, it might take a very, very long time for her to refine potions that would be helpful to him.

This was an investment that required a long wait and might lose money because Julia's talent was not enough.

But this was a step that Su Nan Peter, as a Rank 1 Wizard, would inevitably take.

As a formal wizard, it was impossible for him not to train some wizard apprentices.

Even if he didn't have time now, he would slowly take in some when he had time in the future.

Julia sighed. "I didn't expect that my cousin really became a wizard, as the rumors say. In that case, wouldn't the Peter family be a wizard family?"

She was very smart and guessed the truth of the matter. "So, my cousin discovered that I have wizard talent. It should have been discovered during my conversation with Mr. Bloom."

She remembered Su Nan's words—'There's no need to feel ashamed of your talent.'

She opened the magic book, and when she saw the first line of text, the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up, revealing a strong and personal smile.

Probably, the blood of rebellion and questioning flows in the veins of every member of the Peter family.

Julia Peter's eyes revealed an unusual brilliance. "This is the world I want."

"I don't want to repeat the same day over and over again, like those noble young ladies."

She saw the deeds of the witches recorded in the meditation method written by Su Nan, and her heart was filled with excitement. It turned out that becoming a witch meant being able to roam the world without fear, instead of limiting her world to a small manor and never leaving it in her entire life.

She wanted that kind of life.
