Wizard Earl

Chapter 184 The Vanished Reyes

Having identified the person in the shadows, Connor acted swiftly. Donning a new disguise, he delivered a letter to Leonie at Empire Department Store, explaining that he now needed Margaret's help.

Contacting Margaret was just Connor's first step. After that, he went to his alma mater, Green University, and walked to the familiar villa. Connor discreetly glanced around to make sure no one was watching him, and then he dropped the letter he had already written into the mailbox.

Connor breathed a sigh of relief as the email entered his inbox; Reyes' words still seemed to echo in his ears.

Without delay, Connor quickly went to the taxi stand outside Green University. Seeing the bustling waiting area, Connor was a little stunned before realizing that it was already Friday. Students who had been cooped up on campus for five days were going to the bustling city of Loen to release their pent-up hormones over the weekend!

Although he was eager to leave, Connor, who didn't want to attract attention, obediently joined the queue. Fortunately, the taxis arrived relatively quickly, and it would only take a few minutes for it to be his turn.

While waiting for the taxi, Connor's eyes were drawn to a blonde, fair-skinned girl with a hot figure. Don't misunderstand, Connor wasn't attracted by her charm, but because this lady was none other than Sonia, Connor's classmate in Rune!

At this moment, Miss Sonia was chatting with a well-dressed, upright young gentleman. Judging from Sonia's clear laughter, they were obviously having a very pleasant conversation.

Although he wasn't far from Sonia, Connor wasn't worried. Sonia recognized him, but his disguise skills were becoming more and more refined. Even when facing a military police interrogation, Connor was very confident that he could get away with it.

Connor glanced at the young man and Sonia. Worried about whether his good brother George was already being cuckolded, he released a wisp of his mental energy to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Kevin, how's your lesson on the fall of the Florentino dynasty coming along? My tutor, Professor Belwin, already wants me to give him an assignment on this next Monday!" Sonia pouted her full red lips slightly as she spoke to the young gentleman she called Kevin.

"No problem. I learned this lesson very well. How was Instructor Belwin treating you? If you need, I can persuade my instructor to give it to you!" Kevin said with a reserved smile. Although he behaved very politely, Connor's mental power observed that when this gentleman Kevin's eyes caught a glimpse of Sonia's magnificent upper body, he very discreetly swallowed...

"I've been studying under Professor Belwin since I entered Grimm University. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to switch allegiances now?" Although she said it was inappropriate, the urge in Sonia's eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

Upon hearing Sonia's words, Connor immediately frowned. If he remembered correctly, Sonia's tutor was Reyes, just like him, and there was never a name named Belwin among all the faculty members, including lecturers, in the History Department of Green University!

Now Sonia is saying that since entering Grimm University, she has been studying under Professor Bergwijn. If she's not lying, what does that mean...?

Thinking of this, Connor suddenly felt an impulse to check on Sonia. Fortunately, reason prevailed over him. Connor took a deep breath and then turned and left the station. He was going to confirm his suspicions.

Although Green University, as the most prestigious institution of learning in Rune, has excellent security measures in its teaching buildings, all of these defenses are undoubtedly useless to a mid-level wizard apprentice like Connor. He easily sneaked into the teaching building and, in the office that originally belonged to Reyes, Connor sensed with his mental power a middle-aged, balding, overweight scholar with no magical or mental power sitting in a chair, intently writing a report.

The sign on the office clearly reads: Professor Belwin, Department of History!

After secretly observing Professor Belwin for more than ten minutes and confirming that he was just a scholar, Connor sneaked into the history department's archives, hoping to find a place to prove his conjecture.

However, in the archives, Connor found his own file, George's file, the files of all his classmates, and the file of Professor Belwin, but not Reyes's file. All of these records showed that Belwin had worked at Green University for thirty years, rising from an ordinary lecturer to a highly respected professor in the history department. As for Connor and the other students who originally belonged to Reyes, they had studied under Belwin since entering Green University, and it was as if the name Reyes had never appeared at Green University.

Looking at every word of Kaman in the file, Connor felt a chill run down his spine. He desperately wanted to find George and Varga, and he wanted to prove his conjecture through these two people. Could Reyes really fool everyone's memory?

If the answer is "correct," then Connor finds his mentor Reyes, who treats him like a son, truly terrifying...

Back in his safe house, Connor didn't have time to think too much about "Reyes" and continued his research on how to perfectly forge the Castia Staff.

Faced with potential danger from the Celta Cult, although he had collaborators like Margaret and backup plans like the Secret Society, none of these were entirely reliable in the wizarding world. Only one's own strength was something a wizard could truly trust and rely on!

Having just broken through to the intermediate wizard apprentice level, Connor naturally wouldn't be able to make further breakthroughs in his cultivation in the short term. Therefore, acquiring a powerful level-two enchanted item, the Castia Staff, would be the best way for Connor to enhance his strength.

The initial preparations for the Castia Staff had already been completed, but now Margaret had sent him a piece of mithril ore as compensation, so Connor naturally intended to extract the mithril from the ore.

Connor took out the alchemy furnace from his spatial ring, released his spiritual fire, and threw the mithril ore into the furnace. Once this task was finished, he could officially begin the crafting of the Castia Staff!
