Wizard Earl

Chapter 155 Emery and the Krenk Family!!

The sender's name was Pereira, a name that Connor had never heard of before.

Connor was certain that he had no recollection of ever having any dealings with this Mr. Herrera. However, what was quite interesting was that the letter was clearly addressed to Mr. Connor Ferguson, 16 Land Street, which made it clear to Connor that the letter was for him and had not been sent to the wrong address.

Connor chanted a couple of lines in a low voice, and suddenly a few small blue dots appeared on the letter. These small blue dots sometimes rotated and sometimes disappeared into the letter. After about ten seconds, these small blue dots disappeared into the air.

As the blue dots disappeared, Connor finally showed a relieved look in his eyes. Those blue dots were the detection spells he had released. If there was a problem with the letter, these blue dots would truthfully transmit the situation to his mind. Now that the blue dots had disappeared into the air, it meant that there was no problem with the letter.

After removing the ink from the seal of the letter, Connor took out the letter paper from inside.

Upon closer inspection of the letter, Connor's face immediately lit up with a look of sudden realization. The letter, signed by Pereira, actually contained a hidden meaning, and the real sender of this letter to Connor was not Pereira, but Margaret.

The purpose of Margaret's letter was to inform Connor about the alchemy equipment he wanted.

According to Margaret's own thoughts, the Church of Storms' warehouse contained an alchemy furnace that met Connor's requirements, but due to the tight security, she was powerless to obtain it.

Besides that, she also got information about another alchemy furnace. The Storm Church's recent crackdown on black wizards was very extensive and indiscriminate, which resulted in the church arresting some shady characters in addition to black wizards.

By chance, Margaret learns from interrogating a prisoner that Emery, a wealthy merchant in Loen City, is an alchemy enthusiast and secretly purchased a fine alchemy furnace a year ago.

Based on the prisoner's description, Margaret concluded that the alchemy furnace secretly purchased by the wealthy merchant Emery perfectly met Connor's requirements.

Connor put down the letter and fell into deep thought. He had met the wealthy businessman Emery mentioned in Margaret's letter once at a banquet, and there were some rather legendary rumors about Emery in Rune.

Mr. Emery is fifty-one years old this year. Thirty years ago, he was a penniless nobody. Born into a farming family, he was admitted to Green University with his excellent grades. In this respect, Mr. Emery and Connor are alumni. Green University was a turning point in Mr. Emery's life.

Mr. Emery was tall and handsome. Although he was born in the countryside, he had a very strong learning ability and excellent eloquence. He was a popular figure at Green University, which made him the dream lover of countless young girls. One of these girls was his future wife, Veronica Kronk, the youngest daughter of the Kronk family.

After being with Veronica, Mr. Emery successfully joined the Kroenke family's conglomerate after graduation. After decades of ups and downs in the business world, Mr. Emery, with his superb skills and sharp eyes, transformed himself from an outsider who married into the Kroenke family into the true head of the Kroenke family.

Mr. Emery's first wife, Ms. Veronica Karenk, died of illness five years ago, and she and Mr. Emery had no children. However, to everyone's surprise, a year after her death, he married a woman named Aina, an old classmate from Green University. And most importantly, Ms. Aina had a son named Nelson when she was young and out of wedlock!

After Ms. Aina married Mr. Emery, Nelson began to call Mr. Emery "father" and became Mr. Emery's first in line to the throne.

Recalling these events, Connor couldn't help but look amused. There was no doubt that Mr. Emery's experiences were as melodramatic as those depicted in a TV drama on Earth.

However, none of these should be his focus. What he should be concerned about is the exquisite alchemy furnace that Margaret mentioned was secretly purchased by Mr. Emery.

To Connor's slight disappointment, Margaret's letter contained no useful information other than mentioning that Mr. Emery possessed a fine alchemy furnace. At the end of the letter, Margaret briefly explained why she contacted Connor in this manner, rather than meeting him as before.

The church launched a massive manhunt, and she was currently tied up, so she told Connor that if he needed to contact her, he should go to Empire Department Store and find Leoni, as always.

A small flame rose from his fingertips, and Connor burned the letter he had finished reading to ashes, leaving no trace.

Margaret's meaning was clear: the message she conveyed was that if she wanted to obtain the alchemy furnace, she would have to find a way to get it herself, and she wouldn't care!

Connor shook his head slightly, still feeling that although there was news about the fine alchemy furnace, it was necessary to plan ahead. At the very least, he should wait until he got the Greenland potion from Varga and healed his mental trauma before doing anything about it.

········

A week later, Connor erected a steel plate in his home to test the power of spells and enchanted items.

Standing at a distance, Connor's eyes narrowed, and with a thought, countless tiny black crystals appeared around him.

Connor stretched out an arm and pointed his finger at the steel plate. The black crystalline sand immediately disappeared and reappeared as a black spear that shimmered with light, silently piercing the steel plate.

Nodding slightly, Connor whispered another incantation, and the black spear that had pierced the steel plate instantly turned into countless black crystals and disappeared, leaving only a large hole in the steel plate as proof of what had just happened.

With another swing of his arm towards the steel plate, countless black crystal sands, under Connor's control, slammed into the steel plate. This time, the steel plate emitted a "sizzling" sound as it was corroded. Under the corrosion of the black crystal sands, this steel plate, which Connor had specially made with amazing defensive capabilities, was reduced to only half its original size at a visible speed.
