Wizard Earl

Chapter 221 Honest Connor and His Magic Stone Bomb

Connor knew that his greatest advantage, and his only irreplaceable advantage, was that, so far, he was the only one who knew the location of the magic stone mine!

If this advantage is used well, it could be a key step in breaking the deadlock!

After thinking it over carefully for two days, Connor pushed open the door to Margaret's room in the rented apartment the day before the deadline given by Scarface.

Meeting Margaret's questioning gaze, Connor, looking exhausted but with unusually bright eyes, immediately said, "I have a way for you to take down Scarface without using the Demon Blood Possession!"

"What method?" Margaret frowned slightly. Although she didn't say anything, the expression on her pretty face revealed a hint of disbelief. The biggest reason they were able to kill another senior wizard apprentice of the Benficamites, Snake Eyes, last time was because she paid a heavy price to use the Demon Blood Possession technique, unexpectedly becoming a senior wizard apprentice for a short time. She had tricked Snake Eyes once.

She and Connor had already witnessed Scarface's strength; he was definitely stronger than Snake Eyes. Even when they went all out together, they could only defend themselves against Scarface. And the most crucial point was that she couldn't use her Demon Blood Possession technique now, so she no longer had the means to surprise Scarface with her tricks.

Connor was not surprised by Margaret's disbelief. To be honest, if he were in Margaret's shoes, he would never believe his own words either!

With a slight smile, Connor took out a magic stone from his spatial ring and tossed it to Margaret, saying excitedly, "Take a look!"

With some doubt, Margaret glanced at the magic stone Connor had thrown at her and began to examine it closely. The magic stone looked no different from ordinary magic stone ore, but knowing Connor's personality well, Margaret knew that Connor would never do something useless, and that there must be something special about this magic stone.

Margaret examined the magic stone for several minutes but still found nothing different. Puzzled, she shook her head and tossed the magic stone to Connor, her beautiful eyes fixed on him. She knew Connor would give her a satisfactory answer.

Seeing that Margaret hadn't discovered the secret of the magic stone, Connor's smile deepened. If even Margaret hadn't found the secret, the chances of his plan being successful were undoubtedly much higher!

Connor then took out a roughly crafted silver bell from his spatial ring. He placed the magic stone ore in his hand at a distance and gently shook the silver bell. Instantly, the originally sparse energy particles in the air of the rented room began to vibrate violently. Then, to Margaret's astonishment, the magic stone that Connor had placed at a distance exploded with a loud bang!

Seeing this astonishing scene, Margaret took a long time to calm down. After a moment of contemplation, she said to Connor, "You're planning to use this...?" Margaret didn't finish her sentence, clearly indicating that she also thought the idea was a bit too crazy!

"That's right! I'm planning to use this to blow up Snake Eyes!" Connor stated his intentions very directly. After a pause, Connor explained, "Right now, only I know the location of the magic stone mine. If Scarface wants to find the magic stone mine, he either has to find it himself, or he has to go wherever I tell him to go!"

"Last time in the magic stone mine, I took over a hundred pieces of raw magic stone ore, originally intending to use them for my own cultivation. But now I can easily turn them into bombs like the one you just saw. The process of making such bombs isn't difficult. Magic stones themselves possess energy; all I need to do is detonate that energy using extremely discreet methods! I can complete the modification work in as little as three days, turning all the raw magic stone ore I have into the magic stone bombs you just saw!"

After excitedly explaining the results of his thinking over the past two days, Connor looked at Margaret. He needed Margaret's support now; otherwise, no matter how good or flawless his plan was, it would only be empty talk!

"You think these things can fool Scarface and kill him?" After listening to Connor's explanation, Margaret pondered for a while and raised her question. She roughly understood Connor's plan: he would create a fake magic stone mine, hide these magic stone bombs inside, and finally lure Scarface inside.

"The methods I used to set up the magic stone bombs were very subtle, but to be honest, I don't know if they can fool Scarface. However, I think there's at least a 50% chance of success. As for whether they can kill Scarface, I made these magic stone bombs, and I know their power very well. These hundred-plus magic stone bombs can kill me, but they can't kill Scarface!" Connor said seriously, pointing to his head, but there was a hint of madness in his eyes!

As Connor recounted his story, Margaret nodded to herself. Although Connor hadn't given her a definitive answer, it reassured her. At least she felt that Connor wasn't trying to deceive her with a false answer just to get her to work for him.

If Connor were truly boasting that his magic stone bomb could fool Scarface and then easily kill him, Margaret wouldn't believe a word Connor said.

"Connor, after you successfully tricked Scarface with those magic stone bombs, how much of his strength do you think he'll still have left?" Margaret pondered for a moment before cautiously asking Connor.

"Judging from his performance in our last encounter, I think he'll be left with about 30% of his strength after I hit him. However, I can't rule out the possibility that he's hiding something, but I think he'll be at most 50%!" Faced with Margaret's question this time, Connor hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"One last question, what will I get if I work for you?" After careful consideration, Margaret looked at Connor beside her with a half-smile.

"A 40% share of the magic stone mine!" Connor was clearly prepared for this question, and he was very generous, directly doubling the 20% share of the magic stone mine that was originally planned for Margaret!

"Wow...you're really generous this time!" Margaret's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard that Connor had doubled the amount of magic stones he gave her, and she teased Connor about it!

"I just think you'll be satisfied with at least a 40% chance. If you don't do this with me, we'll both have to go back to Rune!" Ignoring Margaret's teasing, Connor said expressionlessly.
