Chapter 38: The Germination of Ideas for a Storm Werewolf

A week later, in the afternoon.

Maple Leaf Town, inside the slightly luxurious, three-story wooden villa of the Carpenter's Guild, a masked ball was underway, attracting many wealthy merchants, minor nobles, and beautiful women.

Su Nan symbolically attended this ball.

After all, as the lord of the Barony of Peter, he needed to let his subordinates and people know his thoughts and attitudes, displaying some of his predictable characteristics.

Occasionally interacting with his people.

Otherwise, if he didn't interact with them for a long time, various absurd and exaggerated rumors would spread among some of the populace.

However, Su Nan didn't particularly enjoy these kinds of balls. A masked ball sounded nice, but it was really just an excuse for promiscuity.

The nobles and wealthy merchants wearing masks could freely choose anyone attending the ball.

Soon, it would become chaotic and… well, you know.

Su Nan had no interest in engaging in performance art here, so he simply showed his face, instructed his guard, Robert, to inform Guild Master Is, and then directly put down his wooden mask and turned to leave.

Guild Master Is could only immediately tell everyone that Baron Su Nan was enjoying the ball very much, but he was busy with affairs, so he had to leave early, and before leaving, he told everyone to enjoy themselves.

After Su Nan left, the wealthy merchant Pigg, standing beside Guild Master Is, raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Lord Su Nan is indeed different from the old baron, Guss Pasha, and the old town chief."

"Truly in a hurry."

Guild Master Is coldly glanced at this old fox. "At least he's much better than Guss Pasha and the disgraced former town chief."

"We only manage trade; everything else is protected by Lord Su Nan."

The wealthy merchant Pigg quickly said, "You misunderstand my meaning. I have no disrespect for Lord Su Nan. And I also know that that night, in just one night, Guss Pasha, who was powerful, brutal, and arrogant in the Barony of Peter for ten years, died."

"Almost the entire territory has been recovered by Lord Su Nan, and the knight of that remaining knightly territory has recently started paying taxes again, expressing loyalty and a willingness to fulfill the corresponding military obligations."

"It is a very good thing for Maple Leaf Town to have such a powerful lord who completely allows us to operate normally."

"But, Madam Is, haven't you felt it recently?"

"Maple Leaf Town is expanding and developing more rapidly."

The wealthy merchant Pigg said, "I am an investor, and I know that only by following the right person and doing the right thing can one make big money. Guild Master Is, I think you understand. I believe that Lord Su Nan is the kind of rare person who must be followed closely."

Guild Master Is seemed thoughtful.

… …

After Su Nan left the ball, he got into a carriage and returned to his castle. Along the way, he noticed that Robert, who was riding in the same carriage, looked dejected and had an injury on his mouth.

Su Nan asked, "How did you get hurt?"

Robert coughed a few times, then said a little embarrassed, "It's like this, my lord."

"By the God of Storms, recently, I just fought Brom and Warwick a few times. This is a very normal sparring match; I definitely don't have any jealousy…"

"I'm not jealous, I'm just… a little…"

Su Nan glanced at Robert's unwilling expression.

Oh, I get it.

Robert is jealous.

But I can understand him. After all, his strength comes from years of training and faith in the God of Storms. Every increase in strength means his hard work and suffering.

As a result, he can't even beat the old butler now, not even Brom, whom he sees as an old fox.

One can imagine how complex Robert's emotions are.

Su Nan coughed and interrupted Robert's internal struggle, then said to Robert, "It's okay, Robert, I respect everyone's choices."

"Everyone has their own strengths."

"At least Warwick and Brom are now being taught their martial skills by you. You are their teacher; you don't need to have any doubts about yourself."

"Robert, doubting yourself will only weaken your strength."

Robert immediately became firm. He gratefully glanced at Su Nan. He still wanted to continue down the path of the Storm Knight.

Otherwise, wouldn't he be wasting the first half of his life?

'Lord Su Nan is right,' Robert thought. 'As long as I become a Storm Knight, I should be able to beat Brom.'

Robert had just gotten excited for a few minutes when he suddenly remembered Warwick, the old butler whose strength had recently surged again. His eyelids twitched.

Even after he becomes a Storm Knight, will he really be a match for the old butler, Warwick?

Robert's heart was in turmoil.

Could it be that the magic Lord Su Nan speaks of is really that powerful, that just drinking a potion can allow one to surpass those powerful formal knights?

All along, the image of a formal knight in Robert's mind has been very lofty, because that is the goal he has wanted to achieve since he was a child—to become a formal Storm Knight.

But now, he is really starting to doubt his life's ideal.

Robert slightly raised his head to look at Su Nan.

Because the old baron was like a foster father to him, he has always wanted to follow Su Nan.

But now it seems that the path of the Storm Knight may really not be able to keep up with Su Nan's growth, so are there other ways to gain more powerful strength?

Robert said, "Lord Su Nan, I mean, the old butler's martial skills have improved very quickly recently. When he fights me in werewolf form, he not only adapts to my skills, but also develops unique attack techniques."

"He can attack the enemy with both claws and teeth simultaneously during the jumping process. His recent attack method seems to strengthen the biting action. I have to say, the biting action is indeed frightening and requires constant vigilance during combat, lest one's fingers and ears be bitten off."

"The butler said that this is why he is working hard in this direction."

"He really has a talent for fighting."

"When he was a butler before, he really went down the wrong path. I joked with him, saying that he should have been a warrior, not wasting his talent."

"He always laughs heartily."

Su Nan raised his eyebrows. He always felt that Robert's words had a hidden meaning, like a map of the Yan Kingdom, but he still nodded and said, "If that's the case, I can create a potion specifically to strengthen his mouth muscles for him."

However, the biting action is indeed very distinctive. For humanoid enemies, it is very deadly and requires constant vigilance.

For example, when both sides' hands are blocking and holding each other, suddenly the werewolf on one's side stretches his head and takes a bite.

Creating a potion to enhance biting seems like a good idea.

Robert couldn't help but ask, "Does each potion have to be designed separately? Then if I transform into a werewolf, what kind of werewolf do you think I could transform into? Cough cough cough… I mean, if…"

Su Nan looked up at Robert and began to think seriously.

It's true that the lifeforms that drank the Werewolf Curse Transformation Potion before were either hounds or non-combat personnel. The only combat personnel was just an ordinary veteran.

If Robert, as a Storm Knight squire, or even after becoming a Storm Knight, transforms into a werewolf.

It seems like it is indeed a very good, brand new idea.

I can design a more unique Werewolf Curse Transformation Potion for him.

Of course, the Super Werewolf Potion is a secondary sublimation potion. This is all the same, so there is no need to modify the recipe.
