Wizard Earl

Chapter 20 Wizarding Talent

A mix of surprise and delight!

This word best describes Connor's current mood.

The good news is that although the green light spots are harmful to the body, the degree of harm is about the same as that of mobile phone radiation, which is almost negligible. When Connor first heard this, he almost jumped up with joy. However, when he heard that the chip analysis showed that the green light spots had a "marking" function, Connor's heart sank.

Recalling Vidal's vow to the Church of the Spirits not to reveal his magic, and Vidal's last words before his death, "curse," Connor couldn't help but make a bold conjecture.

Vidal swore an oath to the Bilge Church not to reveal the methods of using magic, but under his coercion and enticement, he told him the method for cultivating corrosive acid. Therefore, he broke his oath and was cursed. The green light that burst from his head is meant to mark him, and the Bilge Church will use this to find him…

The more Connor thought about it, the more likely this possibility seemed, and the smile on his face gradually turned bitter.

After a long pause, Connor shook his head slightly. The matter of the green light spot could be put aside for now; the most urgent task was how to deal with Rebecca.

Pushing open the door to the next room, Connor saw Rebecca, who was tied to the bed and gagged, staring at him with intense anger. In her beautiful, ruby-like eyes, Connor could clearly feel the undisguised hatred.

"Sigh!" Connor sighed softly. His earlier promise to Vidal to release Rebecca was nothing but a pretense. How could Connor dare to let a woman as venomous as Rebecca go? If he chose mercy now, it would be cruel to his own future!

It's good that Rebecca is like this now, so Connor can kill her without any hesitation. He shook his head and watched as Connor picked up a pillow from the bed and walked towards Rebecca.

After a moment, Connor felt that Rebecca under the pillow had stopped struggling and was no longer making any noise. Only then did he lift the pillow from Rebecca's face and carefully check her pulse. Only then did Connor finally confirm Rebecca's death.

Because Vidal had mentioned that there were psychics in the Loen City Police Department who could extract memories from corpses, Connor had no choice but to gather some dry firewood from the woods near the castle and dispose of Rebecca's body and the body of the old servant who had died in the castle. Although Connor didn't ask Vidal how the old servant had died, it was clear that the old servant had been silenced! Given the ruthless nature of Vidal and Rebecca, how could they allow others to know about their affairs?

After cleaning up the traces he had left behind, Connor did not linger in the castle and immediately took the train back to Loen City.

Back in his luxurious apartment in the eastern part of Loen City, Connor could hardly contain his excitement. As described in the basic meditation method, he placed his palm on the crystal ball and began to test whether he had the talent to become a wizard.

Warm! Comfortable!

This was Connor's first feeling after placing his hand on the crystal ball; he felt as comfortable as if he were lying on the smooth sand of Rune, enjoying the warm sunshine.

Just as Connor felt the warmth, the crystal ball emitted a jet-black light, interspersed with silver specks.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing the crystal ball's reaction, Connor was stunned for a moment before bursting into wild laughter. According to the description in the Basic Meditation Method, the ability to make the crystal ball glow meant he possessed wizarding talent, while the jet-black light indicated that he had the highest level of dark element in terms of elemental attributes. However, the Basic Meditation Method did not record what those silver spots represented. But at this moment, those were obviously unimportant. What mattered most now was that he, Connor Ferguson, possessed this wizarding talent, and he could become a powerful and mysterious wizard to control his own destiny!

Now that his wizarding talent had been detected, Connor naturally wanted to seize the opportunity and become a junior apprentice immediately. However, the reality was quite unfortunate. According to the records of the Basic Meditation Method, if an ordinary person wanted to become a junior wizard apprentice, they had to improve their mental strength by practicing the Basic Meditation Method before they could become a wizard apprentice. The time required to practice the Basic Meditation Method varied depending on each person's aptitude.

Since he couldn't achieve everything in one step, Connor had no choice but to take it one step at a time, steadily and surely. As described in the basic meditation method, Connor sat cross-legged on the ground, slowly closed his eyes, eliminated all desires and distracting thoughts from his mind, maintained a peaceful and tranquil state of mind, and began to meditate.

As he meditated on the profound runes recorded in the basic meditation techniques, Connor could vaguely sense that his mental strength was slowly increasing.

Three hours later, Connor finally ended his meditation and slowly opened his eyes.

"Based on my current rate of mental energy increase, how long will it take me to reach the standard to become a junior wizard apprentice?" Connor silently asked himself.

"Beep! Calculation and analysis complete. Based on the current rate of increase in the subject's mental strength, it will take about a week to reach the mental strength standard of a beginner apprentice." Without keeping Connor waiting long, the chip quickly provided the answer.

"A week? It seems my aptitude is rather lacking!" Connor thought anxiously, calculating the time. Although he had eliminated Vidal and Rebecca, it seemed no one else posed a threat to his life.

But don't forget the green dot on Connor's body! That's a time bomb; it might lure out the Bilge Cult members at any moment!

"Can the chip try to remove this green spot?" Although it was clear that since the green spot could be used as a marker by the Church of the Spirits, it wouldn't be easy to remove, Connor could only place his hopes on the chip's magic!

"Beep! I'm sorry, main unit, the chip cannot currently help you remove the green spots from your body, but we can offer some suggestions!"

"Once you become a junior wizard apprentice, you can attempt to eliminate the primary target!"

"Secondly, we seek help from the Storm Church and the Rune Police Department!"

"Thirdly, seek the help of your mentor, Professor Reyes!"

Although he had expected this outcome, Connor was still somewhat frustrated when it actually happened. He had actually considered all the suggestions the chip had given him.
