Chapter 139 Discoveries in the Safe House

After searching the safe house for more than ten minutes, Connor still found nothing.

Connor frowned slightly and silently commanded in his mind, "Chip, scan the current environment and report any anomalies to me!"

"Beep! In accordance with the subject's will, mission established..." As a cool female voice rang in Connor's mind, the auxiliary chip began to work.

However, Connor, who was completely absorbed in searching for the anomaly in the safe house, was completely unaware of the complex emotions hidden beneath Varga's calm face behind him.

"Beep! Scan complete. The chip detected trace amounts of vengeful spirit energy mixed with dust in the air in the area where the main body is located."

"Is there a vengeful spirit in the dust?" Connor frowned inwardly as he listened to the explanation given by the chip.

So-called vengeful spirits are a product of a resentful life form after death. In the mystical materials that Connor has read, there is a passage describing vengeful spirits as hating heaven, earth, and people. Their spirits are full of resentment and are not worthy of any trust!

After a moment's thought, Connor took out a set of alchemical preparations from his spatial ring. Since he had come this far, he might as well find out why there were vengeful spirits in the dust here.

After setting up the alchemy furnace, Connor's gaze sharpened, and he chanted softly. A black aura appeared out of thin air, swirled around once, and then suddenly turned into a black sphere, covering some of the dust in the air. With a wave of his hand, Connor summoned the black sphere into his palm.

After glancing at the dust covering it, Connor placed it in his alchemy furnace without any hesitation. He wanted to see what was going on with the vengeful spirit in the dust!

While controlling the temperature of his alchemy furnace, Connor carefully placed a wisp of his spiritual energy into the furnace, observing the changes in the dust.

As the temperature inside the alchemy furnace increased, the dust and impurities that Connor had placed inside were gradually refined. To Connor's surprise, some red crystalline powders actually appeared in the furnace from the dust. These red crystalline powders were completely invisible to the naked eye, and even using mental power to observe them was extremely difficult!

Because these red crystal powders were so tiny, Connor couldn't determine what they were just by looking at them. So, Connor simply released his black aura, capturing dust particles in the air while refining them.

After about three hours of working on the alchemy, Connor finally stopped, staring at the tiny red crystal powder, no bigger than a grain of sand, in his hand, lost in thought. With the appearance of this red crystal dust, Connor felt the evil resentment around him increase significantly, but this feeling disappeared at a distance from him. Clearly, the problem lay with this red crystal dust.

Although he didn't know what the red crystalline powder was, that didn't stop him from guessing what it was and what its effects were...

As if to confirm, Connor carefully took out a small paper packet from his spatial ring. After opening the packet, Connor glanced at the dark powder inside, then at the red crystal powder in his hand. His hands trembled with excitement.

"Connor, what is this?" Varga asked, leaning closer to Connor. She seemed completely baffled as to what Connor had been doing for the past few hours!

Hearing Varga's question, Connor hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is magic crystal powder. Varga, don't tell anyone about what happened today!"

Hearing Connor's solemn tone, Varga nodded seriously.

He carefully closed the paper package and placed the red crystal powder he had refined into his spatial ring.

Although he had put everything into his spatial ring, Connor's mind was still unsettled. As an alchemist, he could tell from the similarity between the red crystal dust he had extracted in the safe house and the magic crystal dust Margaret had given him, without the help of an auxiliary chip, that the two must be related!

If it weren't for the fact that the red crystal dust he extracted was red, full of the aura of the Zhong Yuan spirit, and had about a third less energy than the magic crystal dust in his hand, he would have been certain that it was magic crystal dust.

Connor's intuition told him that the red crystal dust lying quietly in his spatial ring had an alchemical smell. If that were true, it would mean that the rule in the alchemical world that magic crystals could only be produced from magic crystal mines and could not be artificially created would be completely shattered!

Connor had his own theory about the red crystalline dust he possessed. This dust had likely been secretly stored in this safe house, and its properties probably caused significant environmental pollution. To conduct further research on the red crystalline dust, Connor felt he needed a fully equipped alchemy laboratory! His current alchemy equipment was simply inadequate to support his current research on the red crystalline dust.

"Margaret, this is your new task!" In an ordinary apartment in the northern district of Rune, a cold and aloof woman with an icy expression handed a document to Margaret, who stood respectfully beside her.

Margaret, unsuspecting, took the document. After a brief glance, a look of fear immediately appeared on her stunningly beautiful face. She looked up slightly and smiled bitterly at the cold, elegant woman before her, saying, "Sister Elena, has the situation in Rune become so critical?"

Judging from the title Margaret, this aloof and beautiful woman must be Elena, the youngest cardinal in the history of the Storm Church!

Elena smiled and shook her head at Margaret, saying softly, "This is to ask you to go to the neighboring province to oversee the donations made by local wealthy merchants to the church. What does this have to do with the situation here in Rune?"

Upon hearing Elena's words, Margaret bit her red lips and said, word by word, "Isn't my sister's trip to another province precisely to get me away from this troublesome place, Rune? Both Jovich and Abidal, the two Punishers of Gods, are in Rune..."
