Werewolf wizard

Chapter 4: Werewolf Messengers

At Pella's request, Su Nan had no choice but to give her a potion, transforming her into a werewolf.

In doing so, the intelligent AI could obtain more data.

After the head maid transformed into a werewolf, she instantly regained her youth, appearing to be only in her thirties despite being over sixty years old.

This made Pella beam with joy every day, and due to her womanly nature, she began to dress herself up again, even causing some of the maids to become envious.

The maids in the castle constantly asked the head maid how she managed to restore her beauty.

This point was too devastating for women.

In this way, the estate's steward and head maid, the two most important management positions, were now both werewolves.

Having collected more data, the intelligent AI began to accelerate the research and development of related potions and began to develop a special leader-type werewolf curse transformation potion for Su Nan.

That's right, to improve his combat power, Su Nan planned to take the potion himself.

After all, simply transforming into a werewolf could grant him panel data close to that of a formal knight.

This saved him the arduous effort of constant training required to become a formal knight.

However, the intelligent AI did not understand wizarding civilization or wizards.

Therefore, to prevent the werewolf gene from affecting his wizarding mana, the intelligent AI used bio-machine technology to create a [Human Virtual Machine Block] in Su Nan's spinal cord.

The intelligent AI would limit the magic generated from taking the potion within this human virtual machine module.

In this way, he himself would still be a completely pure-blooded human.

However, because of the human virtual machine, he could activate the virtual machine at any time and transform into a commanding werewolf.

This would allow him to maximize the efficiency of his werewolf army.

Regarding the rebels in Maple Leaf Town, Su Nan did not plan to deal with them for the time being.

After all, Maple Leaf Town was an important commercial town nearby, relatively wealthy, and could afford wandering knights and knight attendants, as well as a large number of militiamen.

So, Su Nan planned to continue researching potions, strengthen his territory, and wait until the werewolf army truly formed combat power before settling accounts with those damned rebellious capitalists who hired people to beat up old steward Warwick.

Half a month later.

Inside the attic of the Peter Estate castle tower, Su Nan once again concocted a variant of the werewolf curse transformation potion.

He stood in front of the cauldron, pouring the green-golden potion inside into two glass bottles.

This was a new potion recipe re-deduced by the intelligent AI in a week based on previous experimental data.

It was used to create a low-level werewolf, the Werewolf Curse Transformation Potion (Messenger Edition).

Su Nan turned around and fed the two bottles of potion to two hounds. Immediately, the two obedient hounds bared their teeth, as if in great pain.

Their limbs began to lengthen, their pupils turned into golden circles, their body shape began to resemble humans, and their hind limbs quickly became extremely developed, allowing them to stand and walk on two legs.

Su Nan felt that these two loyal hounds he raised seemed to have established some kind of connection with him and were observing him with a flattering attitude.

Su Nan said, "Intelligent AI, collect experimental data."

[According to your request, the Werewolf Messenger is a potion for non-humans to take.]

[The Werewolf Messenger will not affect the intelligence of the taker, but the subject must be a dog.]

[The subject taking the potion should, according to speculation, turn into an agile werewolf, slightly smaller in size than a human-turned werewolf, and can actually increase intelligence by 30 points. This will bring the intelligence of the Werewolf Messenger close to that of a human aged 12 or 13.]

[From the current situation, the situation basically matches the previous inference.]

[We have a relatively thorough understanding of the relevant properties of the Werewolf Curse Transformation Potion.]

[Because the intelligence of the Werewolf (Messenger) is relatively low, the Messenger Werewolf will be more loyal to the pack and fearless of death.]

Su Nan said, "Show me the specific data of the Werewolf (Messenger)."

Countless grid-like and numerical data streams suddenly appeared in Su Nan's left eye—

[Werewolf Messenger]

[Age: 3 years]

[Strength: 1.5]

[Speed: 2.5]

[Constitution: 1.5]

[Race Skill 1: Reduce ordinary damage]

[Race Skill 2: Accelerated self-healing]

[Weakness: Fire, Silver]

[Defect: Low intelligence, so it must receive the command of the pack.]

Su Nan patted the heads of the two German Shepherds and stroked them. Immediately, the two smaller versions of werewolves wagged their tails and made enjoyable purring sounds.

There was no way around it, even if they turned into werewolves, it didn't seem to change the dog's habits.

Judging from the panel alone, the Messenger version of the werewolf had almost only half the data of the higher werewolf, except that agility was 0.5 higher than the higher werewolf.

However, the advantage was that they were obedient and the cost was relatively low.

When Su Nan turned around to clean up the cauldron, he found that one of the werewolves was lying on the ground, rolling around, and even showing its belly to him.

Su Nan was a little speechless.

"Wolf One, Wolf Two, return to the state of dogs, your current image is not suitable for acting cute."

Immediately, the two werewolves lying on the ground, showing their bellies to Su Nan, turned back into two dogs, jumped up from the ground, and began to stick out their tongues, licking around Su Nan's trouser legs.

Su Nan said, "The dog form is more pleasing to the eye."

"The higher werewolf intelligence potion costs about five gold coins per bottle, while the werewolf messenger potion only costs one gold coin per bottle, and the higher werewolf potion needs humans to take it, while the messenger potion only needs dogs."

"In a sense, this can further reduce the cost of establishing my werewolf army."

This time, Su Nan converted another 1 point of his mental power into magic power when concocting the Werewolf Curse Transformation Potion.

In this way, he had already converted 3 points of mental power into magic power.

Currently, his mental power had reached 8.7, and he had converted 3 units of magic power, but unfortunately, there was no significant change in constitution, strength, and speed, which were still 1.

This was also the reason why Su Nan wanted to take the Werewolf Curse Transformation Potion to gain powerful melee combat ability and life-saving ability.

When Su Nan walked out of the attic, bringing the two hounds, and came to the bluestone brick corridor in the castle, old steward Warwick trotted towards him with vigorous strides.

Warwick said to Su Nan, "Young master, trouble has come."

Old steward Warwick had changed from his former gloomy face. He said 'There is trouble,' but the expression on his face was eager.

Su Nan asked strangely, "What happened? Is the royal family urging us to pay the bill again? Or did the town council of Maple Leaf Town send someone over?"

Warwick said, "Our villages have been attacked by bandits."

"As you know, since the old Baron passed away, our territory has lost protection for a long time. Those bandits have occupied the commercial road leading from the outside world to the Peter Barony for as long as seven years."

"But the three knights and the Maple Leaf Town council, who were originally loyal to us, turned a blind eye to the bandits cutting off our road, fearing that we could easily contact the outside world and seek assistance from the outside world."

"Those damned bandits also specialize in looting nearby villages. In the past, our villages were the easiest for them to rob."

"Just yesterday, they raided our village again. Lord Sou Nan, you see, the representatives of the suffering refugees are still standing outside our castle. She wants our help, saying that yesterday those robbers not only looted the village, but also snatched away her newborn brother."

"I think it's probably infant trafficking."

"Lord, should we retaliate against the robbers?"

Sou Nan, from the stone window of the castle, looked down and saw a somewhat timid and fearful girl standing on the grass below the castle.

She looked tired and uneasy, her face weary from too much worry.

When Sou Nan looked down at her, the girl quickly lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Sou Nan.

After all, in this era, it was against the law for a commoner to even look directly at a noble.

Moreover, this was her lord.

In this era, for the people of the territory, the lord was their king.

In the territory, there was a territorial court serving the lord, and soldiers belonging to the lord maintained order and arrested criminals. The lord could control the judiciary, the legislature, and the executive, and had the power to collect taxes and establish an army.

It can be said that, under the feudal system, the lords were essentially small kings, and had unlimited right of retaliation in the event of their territory being invaded.

Especially since the Storm Kingdom, to which Baron Peter's territory belonged, was a country less than a hundred years old.

The territory of this country was built on the ruins of a conquered two-thousand-year-old empire.

The fathers of these people were all knights who came from the west. After defeating the ancient pagan empire's regime, they transplanted a Storm Kingdom onto the corpse of this empire.

As a result, the lords became even more independent.

The King of the Storm Kingdom was essentially just an alliance leader of the lords.

And not even the most powerful one.

Outside the castle, it suddenly started to drizzle, which made the girl waiting below the castle even colder. The thin clothes she wore were not enough to protect her from the cold and damp.

Sou Nan said to the old butler Warwick, "Let that villager into the castle. Have Lady Pella (the head maid) give her a clean maid's dress."

The old butler Warwick hesitated for a moment and said, "Your orders are law in this castle."

"But young master, that woman is a heretic. Her whole family are villagers who believe in the God of Law. According to the unspoken rules among nobles, villagers who believe in the God of Law cannot step into the castle of the spokesperson (noble) of the God of Storms."

"Letting her into the castle seems... to undermine your authority."

Sou Nan said, "In my eyes, she is just a pitiful subject in need of my protection. No matter what her faith is, as long as she is loyal to my territory, it doesn't matter."

Sou Nan remembered a famous declaration from the Venetian maritime empire in his previous life, and said, "Baron Peter's territory first, faith second."

The old butler Warwick was stunned for a moment, then realized that their castle was almost a den of werewolves, and Sou Nan had even mastered the technology of refining magic potions, so what were they still insisting on religious distinctions for?

Why were they still discriminating against villagers who believed in the God of Law?

They were almost becoming atheists.

The old butler Warwick smiled and said, "That's true. Then I'll go down quickly and have that poor little girl change into a comfortable dress."

"The people of Amorode Village have suffered enough."

Sou Nan said, "Get me a map of those bandit strongholds. You and the head maid prepare. I want to test the combat data of the werewolves."

Originally, Sou Nan wanted to test the combat data of the higher werewolves and werewolf messengers.

After all, no matter how good your theory and panel data are, they still need to be confirmed in actual combat.

The intelligent brain also needed to record relevant combat data in order to more accurately estimate the strength of different werewolves, and to better design different types of werewolves.

Only then could his werewolf army have even greater combat power.

The old butler Warwick's body shook, his pupils turned into golden rings, and fangs were revealed.

Werewolves crave slaughter.

For the past half month, the old butler Warwick had been enduring, enduring watching those enemies who continued to run rampant on Baron Peter's territory.

Preparing to see them slowly walk towards destruction with his own eyes.

...

On the edge of Baron Peter's territory, the bandits occupied a high ground.

This high ground was located among a group of hills, and there were also patches of woods nearby.

This meant that when the bandits were attacked by the terrain, they could easily use the complex terrain to counterattack.

After all, in the battlefield, the side that occupies the high ground will undoubtedly gain a huge advantage.

For example, if your cavalry charges from the plain to the high ground, the combat power will definitely be greatly reduced.

For example, if your archers shoot from high to low, the accuracy, range, and power will definitely be different from shooting from the plain to the high ground.

Outside the bandit's stronghold, there were many wooden fences surrounded by wood, and there were also bandits holding knives and soldiers, as well as those with crossbows.

Now, it was dusk.

Because they had once again robbed food and wealth, these bandits who lived by robbery lit many torches in the stronghold before nightfall, and they were preparing to enjoy the food they had robbed from the villagers yesterday.

One after another, rabbits and fat pigs that the villagers were usually reluctant to slaughter were led out of the houses, and the bandits slaughtered them casually, very wastefully starting to steam, boil, or barbecue.

Sou Nan, Warwick, the head maid, and two hounds were hiding in the woods, observing everything.

In fact, the more complex the terrain, the more beneficial it was for werewolves.

Werewolves, with their agility and powerful survival ability, were very advantageous for street fighting.

In the bushes, werewolves whose five senses, especially the sense of smell, had been enhanced could easily identify the enemy's position, movement speed, and direction of movement.

If it gets dark later, it will be the werewolves' home field.

According to the intelligent brain's speculation, werewolves generally have powerful night vision capabilities.

This seemed to be because when making the werewolf curse transformation potion, the werewolf and the full moon were linked together on the magic level, which led to each werewolf almost solidifying [Night Vision].

At this time, next to the bonfire in the center of the bandit stronghold, a strong man with an unusually burly figure and extraordinary talent, who was two meters tall, sat on a tree stump as the leader of this stronghold, and said to the thin man in front of him who was dressed neatly and looked like a merchant, "Go back and tell your town council that you wanted me to deliberately provoke the baron and raid his village, and I did it."

"But if you want me to directly attack that castle, the price you're offering isn't enough."

"At least give me three times the amount of supplies you promised me each month before."

"Otherwise, only a fool would attack that castle."

"That baron... I'm not afraid of the child, but the defense of that castle is still very troublesome. Maintaining the current situation is not bad for me, anyway, the terrain of my stronghold is so complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"Besides, if I kill this child baron now, it will be very difficult for me to find such an easy-to-control territory again."

"If the kingdom gives the territory to a new baron, or lets those knights of the knightly territories become the new baron, it will be very troublesome for me."
