Werewolf wizard

Chapter 62: The Arrival of the Achaia Diocese Bishop and the Church Army

With a genuine meditation technique and spell models, for the next three days, Su Nan studied on his own while having the intelligent brain analyze and record the 【Words of the Dead】 meditation technique and related spell models.

His mental strength was now very close to 20. Restarting the meditation technique and re-treading the path from a third-class wizard apprentice to a second-class wizard apprentice was, of course, very fast.

The four-dimensional structure of the 【Words of the Dead】 meditation technique was established in his mind.

However, Su Nan did not want to use this as a foundation. Therefore, he did not place this four-dimensional rune structure in the center of his mental world, only wanting to understand and learn it.

Moreover, he also discovered that compared to the increase in mental strength obtained from taking mental strength enhancement potions every day, and the speed of mana conversion from refining magic potions, the increase in mental strength and mana obtained from learning the 【Words of the Dead】 meditation technique was really too slow.

It was nothing like drinking magic potions, where one sip could increase his mental strength by a large amount.

Therefore, Su Nan was not prepared to give up his magic potion system.

Moreover, the quality of something that someone else casually gave him might not be very good. It was just that he didn't have a control group right now.

Furthermore, Su Nan also discovered a problem, which was that the quality of the mana converted from his meditation practice was, for some reason, much worse than the mana converted from refining magic potions.

One was like a brick, while the other was steel.

They appeared to have the same quantity, but when the two came into contact, the mana converted from the Words of the Dead meditation technique would collapse.

"However, the good thing is that converting mana with meditation techniques is very stable," Su Nan thought. "My mental strength only converts into magic power when I refine very difficult magic potions."

"It's also possible that the level of the meditation technique I obtained is too low, so the quality of the converted mana is not good. If I could obtain a better meditation technique, it might not be like this."

During the day, in the attic of the castle, Su Nan looked out the window. Now, his mental strength was almost reaching 20, and he could enter the state of Mind-Zen.

But before that, he had to ensure the safety of his territory.

At the same time, during this period, he had the super werewolf butler reduce surveillance of the two Forsaken Wizards who had intruded into his territory, only confirming their approximate location from a distance every half hour.

The super werewolf butler's monitoring ability was very strong. Using this method could greatly reduce the vigilance of the two Forsaken.

Let them think that he was completely immersed in studying the meditation technique and couldn't care less about them.

There were two reasons why Su Nan didn't deal with them.

First, he was preparing to go find them after he advanced to a first-class wizard apprentice.

Second, he had the wolf pack dig three feet into the ground these days, but they didn't even see a shadow of the Wizard Ruins' Four Seasons Garden.

After all, Su Nan didn't know that much about the products of orthodox wizard civilization.

And those two Forsaken seemed to have their own plans, looking confident, so Su Nan simply let them go find the Wizard Ruins.

Anyway, if they found it, it would still be near his territory, and he could still enter.

The one who acts first might not be able to seize the opportunity.

The key is not who can find the Wizard Ruins, but who can be the final victor.

So Su Nan didn't mind using these Forsaken as his pathfinders.

Robert knocked on the attic door, his voice a little nervous. "Lord Su Nan, the Achaia Diocese Bishop of the Storm Church has entered our territory..."

The Storm Kingdom has a total of seven dioceses.

The bishop is a high-ranking member of the Storm Church. In terms of doctrine, he is also a holy person who can represent the will of the Storm God to the mortal world.

No wonder Robert was nervous.

After all, Su Nan was a wizard, and the Storm Church was the most repulsed by wizards.

Su Nan didn't expect that the bishop of the Storm Church would really come to his territory. "Then let's meet him."

"Robert, you're too flustered. You're making us look very guilty. But don't be guilty. If that bishop doesn't know what's good for him, you can arrange for him to die 'accidentally' in my territory."

"If it's an accidental death, the Storm Church won't hold us accountable."

...

At the edge of Peter's territory, in the woods on a small hill, Gu Ke and the little girl looked at the convoy passing by on the path beside the woods.

First, there were four soldiers at the front of the convoy, holding wooden statues representing the Storm God.

Then there were two teams of elite cavalry.

There were even some Storm Knights in the team.

The scale of this team was unusual. An ordinary barony simply couldn't afford such a powerful military force. If they weren't careful, they could easily end up in a situation where the guest became the host.

Anyway, this wasn't the first time it had happened.

Fifty-eight years ago, the last emperor of the Eastern Human Empire sought help from the west. The Storm Knights who had been summoned by the Holy War launched a coup and rebellion because the last emperor couldn't pay the military expenses, massacred the allied cities, and usurped the remnants of the entire empire.

From then on, the lords of the Storm Kingdom knew one thing: inviting a large number of troops into their territory, if they couldn't suppress them, there was a high possibility that a military rebellion would occur, seizing the territory.

After all, in the early Middle Ages, it was very common for armies to rob cities in their own countries. There was no discipline or honor to speak of.

Gu Ke swept his gaze over the grand army on the path and said, "So many troops entering Baron Peter's territory is too strange. They couldn't possibly be here for this territory."

"But it has nothing to do with us."

"We won't be the ones in trouble. I gave the meditation technique scroll to those two earth wizards before, and the effect was very good. Although they still spy on us somewhat, it has been greatly reduced."

The little girl looked at the Storm Church's army, her body trembling slightly. That was anger, because her parents had died on the Storm Church's pyre. "Grandpa Gu Ke, these people are like those cultists, they're all crazy, just crazy in different ways."

"These people... as long as someone is different from them, they will force you to admit that you are wrong and they are right."

"They are a disaster."

...

In the church of Peter's barony, Su Nan glanced at the strict guards outside the church as he walked in.

What made Su Nan even more unhappy was that he had to report to the Achaia Diocese Bishop before entering this church and get his permission before he could enter.

The Storm Church's way of doing things was as domineering as ever. They elevated religious nobles above secular nobles.

As soon as Su Nan and Robert entered the church, they saw an old man in a gorgeous golden robe talking to Father Louis.

Father Louis wanted to talk to the other party, but the rhythm of the conversation was completely in the other party's hands. The other party would ask questions if he wanted to, and would not talk to Father Louis if he didn't want to.

This made his uncle, Father Louis, very embarrassed.

The Achaia Bishop turned to look at Su Nan, revealing a kind smile. "Ah, you are little Su Nan?"

"Your father and I are friends. We used to be on the same battlefield and were assigned to the same squad."

"Oh, right." The benevolent smile on the Achaia Diocese Bishop's face suddenly changed, becoming serious and terrifying. "Someone reported that you are playing with witchcraft here and using witchcraft to kill people. Is this true?"

As soon as these words came out, the ten Storm Knights in the church, who were trained by the church and were also God-favored Knights who were closer to the Lord of Storms, looked at Su Nan at the same time and put their hands on their sword hilts.

Father Louis's heart was in his throat.

Everyone in the church, all the clergy in Peter's territory, was taken aback.

Su Nan, however, was not in a hurry, looking at the bishop very calmly, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"By the way, these knights are all official knights. Do the God-favored Knights have some special privileges that make it easier and faster for them to be promoted than knights outside the church?"

"If so, I have an unworthy subordinate here, Robert. Can he also enjoy such special honor?"

Robert was both touched and a little scared.

Lord Su Nan, you are too domineering. Not only did you not answer the bishop's question, but you also asked the bishop a question, and even made a request.

This is the highest religious noble of one of the seven major dioceses in the kingdom!
