Werewolf wizard

Chapter 25: The Wizard Descendant Families Hidden Among Mortals

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

Su Nan ordered the old butler, Warwick, to immediately go to the town council hall to take over the administration of Maple Leaf Town, and at the same time ordered Robert to take people to appease the townspeople of Maple Leaf Town who were unaware of the situation.

At the same time, he had the head maid, Pella, arrest the former town mayor of Maple Leaf Town, and had all the guild leaders and wealthy merchants of the town council return to Maple Leaf Town.

Early tomorrow morning, Su Nan would, in the identity of Baron Peter, issue a decree to the entire Maple Leaf Town, abolishing all the unreasonable and compulsory decrees issued by Gus Pasha in the past few months, and restoring the original commercial order of Maple Leaf Town.

Maple Leaf Town was inherently a goose that laid golden eggs.

Therefore, Su Nan didn't intend to interfere with it much, but only wanted to take it back into his own hands.

A place like Maple Leaf Town was destined to be managed only through commercial means and motivational guidance; directly using administrative orders to forcibly control it would only cause this commercial town in the frontier to gradually wither and lose its vitality.

Su Nan wouldn't make the same mistake as Gus Pasha, who was only filled with force in his mind.

Su Nan walked on the battlefield, ordering the twelve werewolf messengers and two ghost knight attendants to start putting out the fire and prevent it from continuing to spread.

At the same time, he began to collect the experimental materials he needed on the battlefield, first being the hearts of Gus Pasha and Harlan Knight, which were a great harvest.

Formal Storm Knights were the core of the Storm Kingdom's knight feudal lord system, few in number, and almost every one of them possessed territory and an army, so it wasn't always possible to collect their hearts.

Secondly, was the heart of a knight attendant from the Harlan family, and the hearts of two knight attendants from the Gus Pasha family.

In this way, he had three knight attendant hearts and two formal knight hearts.

With these, the calculation speed of the Super Werewolf Potion and the new Ghost series potion would be faster.

In addition to this, Su Nan went to the library of Maple Leaf Town.

At this time, the librarian had already fled in fear, and Su Nan didn't care, walking into the library and beginning to browse through the vast amount of books in Maple Leaf Town.

It was worth mentioning that there were actually some scholars in the Maple Leaf Town library, and these scholars were staying in the library all night, copying the books they needed.

The Maple Leaf Town library was also the largest library in the vicinity, so it attracted many scholars to the Barony of Peter, just to study and consult ancient books.

Back then, the original owner's father, the old Baron Peter, had originally planned to use his newly built Maple Leaf Town as the core, and continue to expand his territory outwards, obtaining more baronies, and upgrading the Barony of Peter to an earldom.

It was a pity that he later went to the battlefield, and after returning, died in some kind of strange curse.

All of this came to naught.

The Storm Kingdom, because it was a country forcibly established by the Storm Knights on the remaining territory of the Eastern Empire fifty-seven years ago, the feudal hierarchy was not that complete.

The five-level system of duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron had not been established.

Or rather, this five-level system was only relatively sound in the Holy United Empire of the West, due to various historical reasons, while it was not necessarily so in other places.

Generally speaking, the viscount title was rare, and the marquis title was also rare. The viscount title was the assistant of the earl, and the marquis was a border guardian set up by the king for some reason.

Moreover, in the Holy United Empire, there were more than a dozen different types of earls, and the title system was quite complicated.

The current feudal lord hierarchy of the Storm Kingdom was relatively simple, without so many special titles that appeared due to historical reasons, it was simply baron - earl - duke - king.

In the Maple Leaf Town library, Su Nan kept flipping through ancient books on the bookshelf. He read books very quickly, and the AI was quickly recording these books.

Many scholars looked sideways at Su Nan.

Because Su Nan entered this library with blood still on his body, his clothes were out of tune with the atmosphere of the library, but he had a strange temperament.

It was as if he should have been a learned and wise scholar.

Su Nan seemed to exude a mysterious attraction at all times, that attraction was like a vortex, constantly attracting their attention.

These scholars didn't know that this was because Su Nan's mental power had exceeded 10 at this moment, and the powerful mental power naturally attracted these more sensitive scholars.

Moreover, in a sense, wizards themselves were also a kind of scholar.

A scholar boldly approached Su Nan, holding a glass kerosene lamp and said, "Hello, sir. I am [Edouard Yordanov], a scholar at the Royal Academy of Storm Keep University. When I returned to my hometown, I accidentally discovered this beautiful place, Maple Leaf Town, and this library built by the far-sighted former lord."

"I wonder if you are… What happened outside?"

Su Nan ignored him.

Instead, he looked down, quickly flipping through the ancient book in his hand.

This made Edouard a little embarrassed, but he didn't feel embarrassed because Su Nan ignored him, but because he seemed to feel that disturbing Su Nan, who was reading so seriously, was a rude act.

It was just that he was really worried about the outside. Although the screams and roars had subsided, and the fire outside had gradually diminished, Su Nan's entering the library covered in blood made him have to care, and have to ask.

Su Nan finally finished reading the book, and he put the book back on the bookshelf.

He looked at Edouard, the scholar, and made a shushing gesture. "Don't worry, everything is fine."

"I am Su Nan Peter, the lord of the Barony of Peter and Maple Leaf Town."

"This is just a simple rebellion. It won't affect you, and you will be safer in the future. Also, I hope I won't be disturbed again. Everyone comes to the library to get a good experience and acquire more knowledge."

"Welcome to Maple Leaf Town."

After speaking, Su Nan turned around and walked to another bookshelf, because he had quickly finished reading the books on the previous bookshelf.

Edouard Yordanov was a little dumbfounded.

In this way, Su Nan had just experienced a war.

But he had never seen a lord who would come to the library to look for books after fighting a war.

Moreover, he really hated being disturbed while reading.

It seemed that this Lord Su Nan was more obsessed with books than many scholars.

This made Edouard full of curiosity about Su Nan.

On the other side, Su Nan estimated that he would need a few days to collect the books in this large library.

"My guess was right. My… father knew the power of knowledge, so he collected a large number of books during his lifetime, and I'm afraid he also obtained many books from the Peter family's main branch. In the Holy United Empire, the Peter family seems to be quite powerful."

"From the bookshelf just now, I really found some clues about the wizards again."

In the bookshelf Su Nan had just collected, he found a few remaining pages sandwiched in a dictionary. The remaining pages recorded a seemingly absurd story—in the Holy United Empire, one hundred and fifty years ago, such a strange thing happened.

A boy accidentally drowned in the river while playing in the water.

His family was very distressed because of this, but just as they were about to bury the boy in the earth according to the customs of the Storm Church, an old woman suddenly stopped them, and then carefully observed the boy, telling them that the boy had not died.

She told them that she was a descendant of the ancient wizards left in the mortal world, and she was a member of the wizard family.

And that boy's soul was taken away by the resentful spirit in the river, and as long as that resentful spirit was eliminated, the boy could be resurrected.

The end of the story was that the boy was resurrected.

But when the family wanted to find the old woman to repay her, they found that they couldn't find the old woman at all, and the old woman's original residence had also become a desolate ruin.

This sounded like an absurd story, but the scholar who collected these remaining pages believed that this might be a true story after many investigations.

He believed that the old woman should have been afraid of exposing her identity, so she moved away overnight, and disguised her original address with witchcraft.

Moreover, he believed that these wizard families staying in the mortal world must have some kind of mission.

But his collection aroused the suspicion of the Storm Church authorities at that time, so most of his collection was burned, and only a few were hidden by him by some means.

Su Nan thought, 'Could it be that even on this land, there are some descendants of wizards, hidden in the mortal world, and existing generation after generation in the form of families?'

'But what is the mission of these wizard descendants, to help the wizards deal with the Holy See? To monitor certain things? Or is it that the scholar himself misunderstood?'
