Wizard Earl

Chapter 163 Magic Stone Mine

Connor narrowed his eyes slightly. He channeled his mental power, far exceeding that of other wizards of the same level, into the spatial ring. Through his mental power, Connor could clearly see a small, dark green snake inside the spatial ring.

This little snake seemed a bit dull, but it was extremely ferocious. As soon as Connor's mental energy got close to the snake, it immediately bit him.

Without a doubt, this small snake is the spiritual imprint left by Snake Eye in the spatial ring, and it may be the only remaining evidence that Snake Eye could prove that he once existed in this world!

After carefully observing the small snake, Connor sneered inwardly. Although the snake's spiritual imprint was currently quite ferocious, it was significantly weaker than when he first obtained the spatial ring. With his current abilities, destroying this snake-shaped spiritual imprint would be no difficult task.

With a focused mind, the spatial ring that was originally on Connor's hand immediately floated in mid-air in front of Connor.

With a wave of his arm, Connor's newly formed spiritual fire appeared in his palm, carefully scorching the spatial ring.

Under the scorching heat of Connor's spiritual fire, the snake-eye spatial ring, having lost its master's spiritual imprint, did not last long before turning into wisps of wispy smoke, flying out of the spatial ring and dissipating into the air.

Seeing this, Connor nodded slightly. Without the protection of the mental imprint, the contents of this spatial ring were like a naked person waiting to be enjoyed. Now it was time to reap his spoils!

Using his mental energy to examine the contents of the spatial ring, Connor's expression showed both surprise and disappointment.

Snake Eyes' spatial ring contained many items, but not many of them were of real value. Among them were Snake Eyes' own meditation techniques and some spellbooks. There were also some Benfica Secret Order documents and some unprocessed raw ore that could be used to create enchanted items.

Besides these, what truly surprised Connor was that the spatial ring contained over a hundred magic stones, and among these magic stones, eight of them clearly contained far more energy than the others.

"Could this be the intermediate-grade magic stone recorded in the ancient texts?" Connor smiled and took out one of the eight suspected intermediate-grade magic stones from his spatial ring, playing with it in his hand.

After playing with them for a while, Connor frowned. As an alchemist, he discovered a problem: the magic stones in the Snake Eyes spatial ring were largely the same as the magic stones Reyes had given him, but there were subtle differences.

The magic stones from the snake's eyes contained minute impurities, while the magic stones Reyes gave him had none of these impurities.

After pondering for a while, Connor looked at some other things in the spatial ring with a puzzled expression—raw ore of enchanted materials!

The ores were nothing special; they were just ordinary enchanted materials that hadn't been processed. If Connor wanted to use them, he would have to quench and purify them, among other things. The process wasn't difficult, but it was somewhat time-consuming and tedious.

After glancing at the magic stone and then at the raw ore, Connor seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes widened immediately!

A bold idea popped into his head: Snake Eyes, or the Benfica Michalcant who was behind Snake Eyes, had found a hidden magic stone mine!

According to a book Connor had read, other enchanted materials ores always grow around magic stone mines. However, it's a pity that the book didn't record what specific enchanted materials ores grow around magic stone mines.

With that in mind, Connor immediately focused his attention on the ancient texts and documents in the Snake Eyes spatial ring, hoping to find clues about the magic stone mine there!

Two hours later, Connor sat down on his own sofa with a smile on his face, and two pieces of paper lay on the table in front of him.

These two sheets of paper represent the results of two hours of work by Connor, aided by the analysis of the chip!

One of the two sheets of paper records a unique spell from the Snake Eye Meditation Method. This spell has no offensive or defensive capabilities; its only function is to allow the wizard who casts it to use his Snake Eye to burrow deep underground. At first glance, this spell seems no different from the Earth Escape Technique, but it not only burrows deeper than the Earth Escape Technique, but it can also discover underground energy sources!

The other piece of paper was a letter, a letter that Snake Eyes had written but hadn't had time to send out yet!

The letter essentially tells Snake Eyes that he is going to be staying in a city called Tunguska near Rune for an extended period of time and will not be able to reunite with the priest for the time being.

With this letter and the unique magic Snake Eyes had cultivated, although he couldn't completely prove the existence of a hidden magic stone mine that hadn't been discovered by the Empire and the Church based on the types of enchanted ore in his spatial ring, it was no longer important to Connor. Based on the information he had now, Connor was basically convinced that Snake Eyes had found a hidden magic stone mine, and that the mine was already in operation!

Upon receiving this information, Connor was naturally extremely excited. What a magic stone mine meant was something Connor, who had used magic stones to aid his cultivation, knew very well. With a sufficient supply of magic stones, he could greatly increase his cultivation speed and efficiency, and thus break through to a higher realm!

Connor retrieved a map of the area around Rune from his spatial ring. Looking at the location of Tunguska City on the edge of the map, a smug smile appeared on his lips.

Just as Connor was basking in the joy of discovering a magic stone mine, in an extremely luxurious, classical manor in the city of Rune!

An elderly man and a still-attractive Mei woman were sitting facing each other alone in a very private room.

"Ms. Lena, I myself was deeply saddened by the passing of my husband." Seeing that the woman sitting opposite him showed no intention of speaking, only sipping her tea, Edel's eyes flickered with a complex light as he spoke solemnly:

"Captain Eder, congratulations!"

Upon hearing Edel's words, Ms. Lena shook her head, gently placed her teacup on the table, looked directly into Edel's eyes, and congratulated him.

"You know?" Although Lena's answer seemed to have no connection to what he had just said, Edel seemed to understand the meaning behind Lena's words.
