Wizard Earl

Chapter 114 The Boundary Pearl (Please subscribe!!!)

Leaning back in the lounge chair in the room, Connor squinted his eyes and leisurely savored the rich red wine in his glass.

He was waiting for Margaret to arrive.

Connor's decision not to use more discreet telepathic communication with Margaret after their recent encounter at the cafeteria was due to safety concerns.

According to Margaret's intelligence, after the two official wizards protecting Miss Audrey left, Miss Audrey still had four high-ranking wizard apprentices by her side.

A senior apprentice's sensory abilities are extremely powerful. Even though Connor and Margaret are very careful, there will always be some energy fluctuations when transmitting sound over a distance, which will definitely be detected, and that would be very troublesome!

"The door isn't locked, come in!" Connor, sensing the woman's footsteps outside, spoke with a faint smile.

Watching Margaret, disguised as a Perseid girl, enter the room, Connor spoke first, asking, "Have you confirmed that Audrey and the others are staying in that room? Is everything going smoothly?"

"Audrey and her group have booked rooms one through ten on the third floor. As for Enrique, he's staying in room 337. However, while I can confirm where he's staying, I can't confirm if he's alone in his room," Margaret said in a low voice.

Upon hearing Margaret's words, Connor's expression changed drastically. He frowned and stared intently at Margaret's disguised face, saying, "Not sure if he's alone in the room? What do you mean, Margaret? You told me before the operation that our target was only him!"

"Can you let me finish before you speak?" Margaret rolled her eyes at Connor and said with some resentment, "Up until noon today, Enrique was indeed alone, but after boarding the Ivanka at noon, I secretly discovered that he was hooking up with a vixen. I can confirm that in the five days I monitored him with the Divine Eye System, the two of them had no contact whatsoever!"

"I tested that vixen; she's not a wizard, not even a knight!"

Connor was taken aback by Margaret's explanation.

After a moment's hesitation, Connor accepted Margaret's explanation. He carefully chose his words, looked directly into Margaret's beautiful eyes, and said, "If everything is really as you say, I will continue to help you with your actions. But if things become unbearable, don't blame me for leaving! After all, you told me before that the only target of our operation was Enrique!"

Margaret glared at Connor and said irritably, "Fine, fine! If things get out of hand, I'll definitely cover for the Earl's escape!"

With a helpless shrug, Connor didn't argue further. After a moment's thought, he changed the subject, saying, "Although the two formal wizards have left, the four advanced wizarding apprentices who are protecting Miss Audrey won't dare to meddle. However, if we force our way into room 337 and make too much noise, it will cause a lot of trouble."

"I just observed in the cafeteria that Miss Audrey's meals are all prepared in the cafeteria's kitchen, so there's a high chance there's a senior wizard apprentice there. With him there, it's practically impossible for us to poison Enrique's food."

"What era are we living in? Why are you still using such an outdated method as poisoning food?" Margaret said disdainfully to Connor, then stroked her spatial ring with her jade hand and took out five small, transparent beads to show Connor.

"Is this a replica of the Boundary Bead?" Connor asked in surprise, staring at the transparent bead in Margaret's hand.

"You alchemist do have some discernment!" Marit praised Connor, then flicked her hand, sending five small, transparent beads flying toward Connor.

Connor took the five small beads and began to examine them carefully. After studying them for about three minutes, Connor returned the five beads to Margaret and said with some envy, "If I'm not mistaken, these five replicas of the Boundary Beads, although they don't have any offensive or defensive capabilities and are disposable, can block out sounds from outside their designated area for a certain period of time!"

"Clap! Clap!" Margaret clapped lightly for Connor, saying with a hint of pride, "This thing lasts for ten minutes. If we work together and catch him off guard, capturing that old man Enrique alive should only take a minute or two at most!"

Connor nodded silently, his mind completely focused on the replica of the Boundary Bead that Margaret had brought out.

As the name suggests, boundary beads are beads that can create barriers. Although they are all called boundary beads, in reality, because each alchemist uses different refining methods and materials, the power and function of each boundary bead are not the same. Some are good at offense, some are good at defense, and some are good at trapping enemies.

He was able to tell at a glance that the bead Margaret took out was not a Boundary Bead but a replica of it because, according to the law of conservation of attributes, a magical item like a Boundary Bead, which has spatial attributes, is at least a level two magical item.

The energy fluctuations emitted by the five beads that Margaret took out were at most like those of a level one enchanted item. Clearly, they were not genuine World Beads, but rather imitations of some World Bead!

After handing over the remaining five grams of mithril to Connor and confirming that the operation would take place at 8 p.m. an hour later, Margaret quietly left Connor's room.

Connor tapped his fingers on the desk and downed his glass of red wine in one gulp. From the initial details of the operation to the appearance of the Boundary Bead, it was clear that Margaret valued this operation highly and was very cautious.

On the surface, everything was proceeding smoothly as planned, but for some reason, Connor always had a bad feeling. I couldn't quite explain it, and it wasn't particularly obvious to Connor, but it was definitely there.

Connor shook his head and gave a silent, bitter smile. Things had come to this point, and Margaret had already accepted his benefits. If he went back on his word now, Margaret would obviously fight him to the death!

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens," Connor silently recited to himself. This rather cheesy quote from online novels served as a reassuring psychological suggestion for him.
