Wizard Earl

It took Connor almost a minute to walk the 150-meter path leading to the central burial chamber before he finally reached the stone door. Looking at the stone door and the central priest so close at hand, Connor, who had been carefully observing along the way, stopped and fell into deep thought.

He passed through three tomb chambers along the way, but there were no valuable items in them, only some flowers and plants. Over the past few hundred years, those flowers and plants, which had been protected by magic arrays, had long since decayed and were no longer of any value.

Although he hadn't found anything in the three tombs he'd already traversed, it didn't mean Connor had come away empty-handed. On the contrary, he had discovered some very important information in those three tombs.

Firstly, Connor was unsure about other parts of the tomb, but the three chambers he had passed through, while seemingly without problems, were quite rough in some details. This roughness suggested that the tomb's owner, for some reason, was in a great hurry to complete the construction.

This directly resulted in the fact that the magic array in this tomb was poorly arranged. As a result, after hundreds of years, the magic array in this tomb had long lost its function. This is also the direct reason why Connor did not encounter any obstacles when he entered this tomb using the Caldara space teleportation and arrived at the stone door.

Secondly, besides the rough workmanship in some details, Connor also discovered some residual fire energy in the walls of the three tomb chambers he passed through. Although these residual fire energy were very subtle and hidden, making them difficult to detect, Connor would not have been able to discover them at all if his mental strength was not extremely strong.

Although the fire-attribute energy on the walls of the tomb is very subtle, it is important to understand that this is a tomb that is hundreds of years old. The fact that even a trace of energy remains is enough to demonstrate the terrifying fire-attribute energy that was applied to these walls at that time!

Connor believes that the reason why there are residual fire energy on the walls of the tomb is likely because the owner of the tomb cast some kind of powerful fire spell or used some kind of extremely powerful fire-elemental enchanted item during the construction of the tomb. This is why, even after hundreds of years, Connor can still find those very faint fire energy on the walls of the tomb.

To achieve this, if it's a spell, then the person casting this fire-attribute spell must be at least a level two wizard. If that's the case, then this undoubtedly confirms Connor's initial guess about the tomb's owner's cultivation level.

If the cause is a corrupted item, then the corrupted item that could cause this situation is most likely a third-tier corrupted item. As for which scenario is more likely, frankly, Connor cannot make an accurate judgment based on the current situation.

However, from a personal perspective, Connor prefers the latter: the residual fire energy on the walls was caused by a demonized item. If that were the case, it would mean that there might be a third-tier demonized fire item in the central tomb, and this third-tier demonized item could very well be Connor's next find in the central tomb.

Of course, regardless of which of the two methods caused the residual fire energy on the tomb walls, Connor is now certain that the tomb's owner was most likely a wizard who cultivated fire energy!

After summarizing the information he had analyzed, Connor shifted his attention to the stone door leading to the central burial chamber. After a moment's thought, Connor took out two alchemical bombs shaped like metal bricks that he had crafted from his spatial ring. Then, Connor pointed his fingers at the two metal bricks and firmly attached them to the stone door.

Having done this, Connor nodded slightly. With these two metal bricks as a precaution, he could now enter the central burial chamber with peace of mind.

Gripping the Castiel Staff and the spatial token tightly in his hands, Connor flicked his sleeve, and an invisible stream of air pushed open the stone door, revealing a pitch-black tomb passage behind it. Connor was not surprised and walked straight in.

Unlike the three tomb chambers they had just passed, the central tomb chamber behind the stone gate was noticeably more refined in its construction details. Connor could also feel the array suppressing his mental power. Under this suppression, Connor's mental power could only observe the situation about five meters in front of him. This situation undoubtedly made Connor more vigilant.

The narrow, dark tomb passage wasn't long, only about thirty meters. Even though Connor walked very carefully, he managed to exit the passage and enter the core of the tomb—the central burial chamber—within a dozen seconds.

Contrary to what Connor had imagined, the central burial chamber was not large, appearing to be only about 100 square meters. Within this 100 square meters, there was nothing else but a crimson crystal coffin placed in the center of the chamber, and nothing else.

Seeing the arrangement before him, the cautious Connor did not act rashly. He quietly observed everything before him. A minute later, Connor discovered a clue in the layout of the tomb chamber. A cold smile appeared on his angular face. The next second, he suddenly made his move. A spear of Hades condensed in the blink of an eye and went straight for the crimson crystal coffin in the center of the tomb chamber.

When the Pluto Spear was ten centimeters away from the crimson crystal coffin, the coffin suddenly emitted a burst of red light. Under this crimson glow, the Pluto Spear that Connor had unleashed was completely melted into black smoke and dissipated into the air. At the same time that the Pluto Spear melted, clusters of crimson flames, each only the size of a fist but extremely dense, began to appear throughout the central tomb chamber, centered on the crimson crystal coffin.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Connor seemed to have expected it and was not surprised at all. The clusters of crimson flames, which started from the crimson crystal coffin in the center of the central tomb chamber, spread to within five meters of Connor before stopping and began to burn fiercely.
