Werewolf wizard

Chapter 82: The Arrival of the Othello Family, Monopoly Merchants

After collecting the hearts of the five Church Knights.

Su Nan first walked to the bottom of the lake and stood in front of the circle of roses. The magical restrictions at the entrance, which had previously been violently broken by the Forsaken, had now repaired themselves.

The gaps in the broken rose circle had grown back with roses.

Su Nan said, "As expected of a formal wizard, a spell that spans more than two thousand years still works even now."

"But it doesn't matter. Since it has repaired itself, I'll just open it again." Su Nan's eyes turned azure blue as high-energy magical power gathered.

This was a small trick he learned after becoming a First-Class Wizard Apprentice.

It couldn't even be considered magic.

It was similar to how ordinary people adjust their observation methods to see objects more clearly, a natural ability that arises.

This might be an ability that all First-Class Wizard Apprentices possess.

That is, having observational abilities different from ordinary humans.

Because high-energy magical power gathered in his eyes, Su Nan could now more easily see objects and entities that caused changes in magical power.

Su Nan called this ability [Spiritual Vision].

At this moment, in his eyes, the rose circle was surrounded by a type of magical energy he had never encountered before, which should be plant magic.

As time passed, this magical barrier was still affected; otherwise, it wouldn't have been forcibly opened by a Forsaken.

Two thousand years ago, this magical barrier should have been even stronger.

Su Nan pointed to a magical loophole in the barrier that had appeared due to the passage of time and said, "Vasilian, chop there with the Black Blade."

Vasilian immediately moved forward, standing in front of the rose circle, then raised the Black Blade, concentrating intense death magic energy and frost magic energy together, and then the afterimage of the Black Blade fell.

The blade struck a rose.

Instantly, the rose withered rapidly, and a strong wind attacked Su Nan and the others. This was a strong wind caused by the sudden collision of magical energies.

Su Nan's clothes were blown loudly.

But he only stared at the rose circle in front of him, and saw that more than half of the roses had withered at this moment.

The magical barrier was opened!

First, ten gargoyles circled in the sky, then swarmed in, their figures disappearing into the barrier entrance.

Then came two Behemoth Obsidian statues, followed by Angel Statue Soldier Number One, and then a mixed werewolf unit of a dozen werewolf messengers and werewolf deacons.

Su Nan and Warwick walked in together.

Finally, Vasilian pulled out his black sword and strode in.

The Four Seasons Garden, they had arrived.

…

In Baron Simon's territory, within the Simon family's castle, many guests were welcomed today.

Chezia, wearing a black veil to conceal her appearance and pretending to still be a young woman, stepped down from the carriage.

A servant held her hand, carefully avoiding the extraordinarily luxurious gemstone rings on her fingers, as well as the gold ring representing the noble family crest.

Baron Simon bowed to Chezia, then his eyes flickered, scanning around. "Beautiful Miss Chezia, I didn't expect you to grace such a rural place as ours."

"Will the Othello family's merchants also descend upon my territory? Ah, how fortunate! You don't know, the days I've been living lately have been too… First, I encountered the Bulgars, and then there was that Baron Su Nan with so much misconduct, and the Church's army plundering my territory at will."

"It's too difficult to ensure the independence of one's territory."

Baron Simon very practically expressed the difficulties he was currently facing in a subtle way.

After all, the Othello family was the most famous commercial family in the Western Platinum Republic, monopolizing almost all spice trade in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The Othello family was also one of the fifty commercial noble families of the Platinum Republic. The current monopoly merchant, Pietro Othello, was the governor of the Platinum Commercial Republic. Under his rule, the Platinum Commercial Republic had obtained trade privileges from the Storm Kingdom and was increasingly showing the momentum of a maritime empire.

The Othello family was also good at investing. Any territory invested in by them would immediately receive wealth and honor, as well as the military strength that came with wealth.

Baron Simon didn't know how he could obtain the support of such a powerful monopoly merchant family, but if he had this opportunity, he might be able to take advantage of it to get rid of Peter's suppression of the surrounding territories, and even suppress Su Nan in turn.

Chezia took a deep look at Baron Simon, her eyes full of meaning, but a mocking smile quickly appeared on the corner of her mouth. "The Othello family wants to strengthen our business in the Storm Kingdom. The Duke of Salonica Latin and your kingdom, for the purpose of preventing us, refuse to provide us with land for doing business and settling down."

"Your king and duke have forgotten that fifty-eight years ago, their ancestors were just a group of mercenaries. It was my uncle, also a member of the Othello family, who made them determined to capture the capital of the entire Eastern Empire and establish a new country."

"Therefore, our arrival is only beneficial to you. We Platinum Republicans only want trade privileges here, and nothing else."

Chezia said to him, "Lord Simon, you don't need to worry about what you said. Maple Leaf Town is nothing in front of our monopoly merchant family. We only need to use funds to easily bankrupt Maple Leaf Town."

"As long as you trust us, our Othello family's army can make your Simon family forever prosperous in the former South Seres Military Region."

"Even… you yourself can get a lot of benefits."

Chezia leaned close to him and whispered, "The Othello family also secretly has some mysterious rituals that can help you alleviate the pain of your broken arm,瞒着教会."

Her seductive gaze fell on the root of Baron Simon's left arm.

Baron Simon suddenly breathed rapidly, "This… this… hahaha, there is no supernatural power in this world at all."

Even so, he was moved and his eyes became dazed.

Baron Simon said to Chezia, "Lady Chezia, please quickly enter my castle. Our Simon family is willing to be your guide in the Storm Kingdom!"

After Baron Simon moved slightly away, the close-fitting maid next to the carriage approached Chezia and whispered, "Lady Chezia, do we, as dignified warlocks, really need to cooperate with this disgusting waste of a knightly noble? Seeing these humans and knights, I really feel disgusted."

Chezia's expression was already indifferent, and she said in a cold voice, "Know one and get three."

"My style of doing things is to look far ahead in everything."

"Although I am very optimistic about Rachel Comnenus, after all, she can be said to be a relatively good warlock. She is very talented. She should be able to obtain the Four Seasons Garden and complete the task of killing Su Nan Peter."

"But I also have to prepare for the possibility of her mission failing. Supporting this straw bag waste can help us establish the first stronghold nearby, create a steady stream of believers, and hold possession ceremonies."

"In this way, we can gain a firm foothold in the South Seres Military Region, which will greatly facilitate dealing with Su Nan Peter."

"Moreover… from the beginning, we needed to invade various areas of the Storm Kingdom, silently like a spring breeze, difficult to detect, corrupting most of the lords, without attracting the attention of the Order God System Papal State and the Holy United Empire in the west."

Chezia looked to the west and said, "The aura of divine authority in the air is still too strong."

"The aura of divine authority must be lowered again."

"If we are to slay a god, then from my point of view, the easiest god to kill is the God of Storms."

"I will not let an earth wizard disrupt my long-planned plan. But he is just a baron, so it's not a big problem."

The maid whispered, "I didn't expect that an earth wizard would cause us so much trouble. But it doesn't matter, even if this land hides more power, victory will still belong to us."

"Those humans… have never known what they are facing, do not know where we come from."

"If they knew, most of them would probably lose their will to resist directly."

Chezia smiled, then walked towards Simon Castle, she whispered: "In the name of the King of the Blind, humans, continue to be indifferent, turn a blind eye, and do not show compassion."

A strange energy enveloped the entire Simon Castle.
