Werewolf wizard

Chapter 40: Sacrificial Stone, Curse Transformation, Potion

Storm Kingdom, Year 58, Spring.

After Su Nan obtained the parchment scroll from the chieftain of the Epirus region, he immediately spent half a month analyzing the content related to transmutation. Then, he spent another half month deducing the formula for the Sacrificial Stone potion series.

At the same time, within this month, his mental strength and mana reached 15, making him a seasoned Second-Class Apprentice Wizard.

The calculation progress for the Mental Strength Enhancement +3 potion reached 11%.

Within the territory, five more werewolf deacons were added.

This brought the total number of werewolves in the territory to one werewolf warrior, two high-level werewolves, thirty-two werewolf messengers, and ten werewolf deacons.

In total, forty-five werewolf members.

The werewolf group was unprecedentedly powerful. A pack of over forty werewolves also represented the strengthening of the pack effect.

Since each werewolf could enjoy the sharing of mana within the pack, the combat power of the pack was definitely more than just the simple addition of forty-odd werewolves' combat power. It was an effect where 1+1 was greater than 2.

The werewolf pack would secretly guard the territory, making Peter's territory a habitat for the pack.

And Su Nan, who possessed the entire werewolf pack, had more than just his individual 15 points of mana. He could draw upon the mana of the entire pack, displaying a level exceeding the numerical value of 15 mana points.

The AI had calculated that if he were to call upon the mana of the entire werewolf pack now, he could completely amplify his mana to 18-19 in a short period.

This proved that developing the werewolf pack was also very beneficial to himself.

The werewolf pack was like an extra mana container for himself, or an alternative wizard's tower.

Inside the castle's attic, the AI pointed out three development directions for Su Nan's Sacrificial Stone Curse Transformation Potion.

The Sacrificial Stone potion was the transmutation potion formula obtained from the relics of the Epirus region chieftain.

According to the descriptions in those relics, the AI concluded that transmutation could change the movement attributes of objects, thus granting the ability to move to statues that originally could not move.

However, that nameless chieftain's spell was just a simple transmutation. In other words, the stone golem he drove was not a real life form.

But the Sacrificial Stone Curse Transformation potion series developed by the AI, based on the principle of [Connection] in the werewolf curse transformation potion and combined with transmutation, could truly turn ordinary statues into living beings by placing the [Sacrificial Stone] in the statue's cavity.

Having statue soldiers was also a very meaningful thing for Su Nan.

This would further strengthen Su Nan's magical power.

[Option 1: Establish a magical connection between the Sacrificial Stone potion series and a high mountain, allowing the Sacrificial Stone statue life form to obtain an indestructible body. You can obtain a series of strong stone men.]

[Option 2: Establish a magical connection between the Sacrificial Stone potion series and a swamp. This way, you can create a series of swamp mud men. The combat power of the swamp mud men may not be very ideal.]

[Option 3: Establish a magical connection between the Sacrificial Stone potion series and your castle. You can obtain a series of statue soldiers related to the concept of the castle. In this option, because the castle is not just a simple thing in the natural world, but also has the special characteristic of being a human creation, the statue soldiers will be more modifiable and combinable.]

[High mountains and swamps cannot be easily changed, so they can only be stone men and swamp mud men.]

[But after connecting with the castle, the statues transformed by the Sacrificial Stone Curse Transformation Potion are essentially 'mechanical life forms' composed of stones, bricks, or other building materials, cursed by Sacrificial Stone magic, and their materials can be arbitrarily changed.]

[For example, in the future, you can add steel, granite, or obsidian, lava, and other body materials to its body components.]

[If you can obtain more magical materials, you can obtain more stone soldiers with different structures and surface materials by upgrading the castle's main body and changing the statue materials.]

Su Nan thought for a moment and decided to choose Option 3.

Option 3 obviously had a less stable lower limit than the first two options, but a higher upper limit than the first two options, making it more cultivatable.

Secondly, there were no high mountains or swamps near his territory.

This thing was different from the moon. If he were to establish a magical connection with these things, he would also have to guard against enemies who might tamper with these places.

On the contrary, the castle was originally his current base of operations.

In the future, he could also strengthen the castle.

Moreover, in this way, the stone golem he created with the potion would be part of the castle, and could even be considered an alternative castle spirit.

Perhaps, in the future, turning the entire castle into a giant stone golem would also be a good possibility.

That way, he could take the castle everywhere.

Su Nan chose Option 3, and the AI immediately provided the formula for the Sacrificial Stone Curse Transformation Potion.

This time, the formula was basically all minerals.

7 grams of river pebbles, 5 grams of ordinary gravel from the road, 1 gram of black mud, 1 gram of brass, 1 gram of lead, a piece of hematite ore, a piece of marble, a trace of diamond powder, 1 gram of realgar and orpiment.

2 adult units of soul fragments.

A brick from the castle with more than ten years of history. The older the brick, the better the effect.

The Peter family's castle was built fifty years ago, completely meeting this requirement.

Finally, there were the unchanging five gold coins.

The formula created by the AI and Su Nan had an unchanging characteristic, which was the fondness for using gold coins, a metal with transactional properties, to enhance the magic of the potion.

The refining difficulty of the Sacrificial Stone Curse Transformation Potion was extremely high.

Because there were a bunch of metal minerals in it, some mana was needed to melt these metals and stones in the cauldron and turn them into a potion.

If Su Nan's mana and mental strength had not reached 15, he would have had some difficulty refining this potion.

At the castle's attic, Su Nan took a brick from the oldest building in the castle and placed it into the cauldron in the darkness.

Then, he added water, as well as the aforementioned metal and mineral materials. Under his precise control of mana, pieces of metal and minerals turned into liquid, melting inside the cauldron.

Each metal had to be put into the cauldron at precise one-minute intervals.

Otherwise, it would fail.

Similarly, the greatest test for Su Nan was that he had to use mana to completely dissolve the metal within one minute, otherwise the refining would still fail.

In other words, starting from this kind of potion, there was already a rigid requirement for mana.

If the mana was not enough, he could not even meet the refining requirements.

In the darkness, all the liquid in the cauldron evaporated. Those melted metals and minerals disappeared, and only a drop of pale green viscous liquid appeared in the entire cauldron, emitting a faint glow in the darkness.

This was the Sacrificial Stone Curse Transformation Potion that could give life to stones.

The refining difficulty was already very high among Second-Class Apprentice Wizards.

Su Nan poured this drop of pale green liquid from the cauldron into a glass bottle, then took the glass bottle and walked to a statue that had been built by the stonemasons in the attic a long time ago.

This was a three-meter-high stone statue, carved from a whole piece of marble. Its body was roundish, slightly bloated and strong. Anyway, Su Nan felt that even if the stone golem ran slowly, it could roll directly on the ground, so it didn't matter. On the contrary, it could improve its defense.

After all, it was already so heavy, so there was not much effect in reducing its weight.

The overall shape of the stone golem was humanoid.

At the same time, it had a pair of wings on its back. These wings were essentially used to balance its center of gravity, just like an animal's tail.

The stone golem was too heavy. If it were to walk and run, it would need to redistribute gravity at all times. The best way was to give it wings or a tail.

Su Nan chose wings in terms of shape, and wings were more capable of attacking all the enemies around when being besieged, creating a large-scale rotating slash, compared to tails.

So, Su Nan gave this blueprint to the old stonemason in charge of carving and his apprentices. The old stonemason thought that this was a statue of a sacred angel of the Storm God, so he took great pains and tried his best to carve this statue to be majestic, sacred, tall, and mighty, like a powerful angel giant.

Every detail was striving to reflect his piety to the Storm God and his loyalty to Su Nan.

But he didn't know that Su Nan wanted him to carve this statue in preparation for using the Sacrificial Stone Curse Transformation Potion on it.

To transform this lifeless statue into his own Sacrificial Stone sentry.

Su Nan put the glass bottle containing a drop of Sacrificial Stone Curse Transformation Potion into the chest cavity of this stone statue.

Unlike all previous potions.

The Sacrificial Stone Curse Transformation Potion was not taken directly.

The stone golem could not take it directly either.

Instead, the potion had to be put into its body, and then the potion bottle would become a battery + integrated circuit board function, combined with the core of the stone statue, turning into a Sacrificial Stone core, and giving it mobility and vitality through transmutation and the magical connection with the castle.

In essence, this stone golem would be a golem life form.

It could also be called a Sacrificial Stone golem.
