Wizard Earl

Chapter 154 Deep Thoughts

As Reyes inquired, the seemingly empty wall revealed the slightly hunched figure of old Victor.

"Professor, Connor is more astute and shrewd than I imagined..." Old Victor said in a low voice.

"Yes, this little guy is becoming more and more like me in the past..." Reyes sighed, a look of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.

"Professor, where should we go next?" After waiting quietly for Reyes to recover, old Victor respectfully asked:

"I've sacrificed so much for that thing over the years in Rune. Now it's time to find a place to retreat and reflect for a while... When the first batch of finished products arrives, that will be the time for me to reap the rewards of my hard work!" Reyes said calmly, but when he mentioned "that thing," his excitement was palpable.

Back home, Connor took out a 15-year-old bottle of Roman Noconti from the wine cabinet. As he sipped the wine, he silently commanded in his mind:

"The chip will analyze and organize the insights and reflections from Reyes's diary!"

"Beep! In accordance with the subject's will, the mission has been established. The estimated time is three hours..."

Upon hearing the estimated time provided by the auxiliary chip, Connor nodded in satisfaction. The biggest advantage of the auxiliary chip was that it could continuously improve its analytical and organizational capabilities as his knowledge and information grew.

The information and knowledge he had obtained from Reyes's secret room earlier had greatly improved the capabilities of the auxiliary chip. According to the original text, this was the cultivation experience that Reyes had given him. Connor thought that the chip would take at least two days to complete, but now it only takes three hours.

While analyzing the chip and organizing Reyes's notes, Connor was not idle either. He was tasting the Romano Conti, a top-tier red wine produced by the prestigious winery founded by Raoul the Great, which only produces 10,000 bottles a year, while his mind was constantly pondering.

Today's meeting with Reyes, although Reyes only mentioned that he was leaving Rune and made some arrangements for himself, without saying much about what was related to this matter, Connor felt that there were many errors in the information Margaret gave him.

According to Margaret, the Church of Abidal fell, Jovich was wounded, the Secret Society of Conte fell, and Professor Reyes, who was seriously injured, fled for his life.

Connor clearly saw Reyes in the villa, and judging from his condition just now, Reyes did not look like a seriously injured wizard.

Thinking further, the discrepancy between the information he observed and what Margaret told him could only mean three things: first, Margaret was right and Reyes was just putting on an act; second, Margaret was deliberately misleading him and the truth was as he had seen.

The third possibility is that Margaret's information, that is, from the church, was incorrect, and that her own observations were the true situation.

After careful consideration, and considering the information that Reyes had already established the overall situation, Connor felt that the last, or third, possibility was more likely than the first two. After all, Connor couldn't see what benefit Reyes could gain from acting with him and Margaret misleading him!

However, if that is indeed the case, Connor feels that this matter is very worthy of deep consideration. Is the church deliberately misleading the information, or is the church being kept in the dark at all?

While he was thinking, Connor swallowed an entire bottle of Romano Conti. He didn't use his magic to dispel the tipsy feeling the wine gave him; he let the blush appear on his face and enjoyed the feeling.

Romano Noconti is a top-tier red wine created by Emperor Raul the Great of the Caman Empire. Connor has reason to suspect that this so-called Romano Noconti was created by Emperor Raul the Great's time-traveling predecessor, imitating the top-tier red wine Romane-Conti on Earth.

On Earth, Connor could never afford to drink Romanée-Conti in his lifetime, but here, the rich and silky experience that Romano-Conti brought to his palate made Connor a loyal fan of this luxury wine!

It's a bit of a shame that although Connor didn't use magic to dispel the effects of the alcohol, his physical abilities, which were almost identical to those of a Grand Knight, allowed the alcohol to dissipate quickly...

"Beep! Reyes's cultivation insights from his apprenticeship have been analyzed, organized, and stored in his main brain. Please check, subject!" Three hours later, the cool female voice of the auxiliary chip echoed in Connor's mind.

The appearance of the cool female voice forced Connor to reluctantly end his luxurious leisure time. Now he had to devote his energy and time to the path of a wizard.

Connor closed his eyes and began studying Reyes's experience. After reading it carefully for a while, Connor became more and more alarmed. He was currently a junior wizard apprentice, so he did not aim too high. He only looked at the section on junior wizard apprentices, which was about intermediate and advanced wizard apprentices.

However, it was precisely in this part that Connor felt extremely guilty. He originally thought that with the help of the auxiliary chip and the information provided by Reyes, he was already quite strong among junior wizard apprentices, but now, after seeing Reyes's insights, Connor realized the gap.

Compared to him, Reyes's manipulation techniques in the same mental magic were undoubtedly more refined and effective. Furthermore, Connor also found clear answers to several questions that had been troubling him, thanks to his insights and experiences.

The next morning, Connor looked at the email in his inbox with some annoyance. He had spent the entire night studying and experimenting with Reyes's insights. If it weren't for this email, Connor felt he would still be immersed in the ocean of cultivation.

However, since he had already been disturbed, Connor decided to deal with the letter first.

There were still quite a few letters mailed to Connor's apartment, but the vast majority were invitations and promotions from restaurants, opera houses, salons, and clubs in the East Loen district. However, judging from the messy sender's name on this letter, it was clear that this letter was completely different from those.
