Wizard Earl

Chapter 234 How to Keep Your Promises!

After discovering gold bars, potions, alchemy materials, and many other items in Scarface's spatial ring, Connor was somewhat surprised to find that he couldn't find any enchanted items, cultivation manuals, or even the ice coffin containing Avilova's body inside...

Thinking of Averova, Connor couldn't help but sigh. If you said she was stupid, she really wasn't; she managed to deceive him and secretly escape his control. But if you said she was clever, she wasn't clever either. She escaped one tiger's mouth only to fall into another, actively seeking out Scarface, and ultimately ended up having her soul erased and her body used as a furnace for others to cultivate and enjoy.

Shaking his head, Connor banished all thoughts of Avilova from his mind and turned his attention back to the present. The two fierce battles with Scarface had truly shown Connor the power of a body-refining wizard. Within his Castilian magic circle, Scarface had easily defeated Connor, the Black Knight, with his bare body, as if cutting melons and vegetables.

As a psychic wizard, Connor possesses the mental strength cap of a mid-level wizard apprentice, making his spells naturally more powerful than those of ordinary wizards of the same level. However, although Connor has mastered the Ferguson family's ancestral knight breathing technique, making his physical attributes nearly identical to those of a grand knight, his physical body has always been a major weakness. Therefore, after defeating Scarface, Connor desperately hopes to find a solution to improve his physical strength from Scarface!

The fact that he hadn't found what he wanted in Scarface's spatial ring only made Connor more eager to see what his group in Osasuna would find in the place where Scarface hid those inconvenient items!

After taking stock of Scarface's spatial ring, Connor faced another problem. He had promised Margaret that he would give her half of the spoils from Scarface's spatial ring. Connor remembered the kindness Margaret had shown him when they faced a desperate situation, risking the backlash of her magic to help him through it. Although the wealth in the spatial ring was now extremely valuable, and the temptation to keep it all for himself was great, Connor did not intend to break his promise to Margaret!

While he kept his promise, Connor had considered the current situation when he initially made it to Margaret. Therefore, his promise to Margaret was to give her half of the spoils from the spatial ring. However, Connor didn't specify how this half should be defined. Now that the spatial ring was in Connor's hands, the right to define it naturally belonged to him. Whether Margaret received her half, what she got, or not, was entirely up to Connor to decide!

Thinking of this, Connor felt much better, and he immediately focused his attention on the potions and the mountain of gold bars in his spatial ring.

Having Varga and the potions in Scarface's spatial ring were practically useless to Connor. Without hesitation, Connor allocated them to Margaret. As for the gold bars, after much deliberation, Connor decided to give them all to Margaret. After all, as an alchemist, Connor intended to keep all the alchemical materials in Scarface's spatial ring for himself, so the combined value of the potions and gold bars would be roughly equivalent to the value of the alchemical materials!

Of course, there were other reasons why Connor reluctantly gave up these gold bars. Although the markings on the gold bars had been rubbed off, it was clear that their original owner was not an ordinary person. Nowadays, most gold bars are no longer used for circulation; people use banknotes to buy things. If you want to spend so many gold bars, you first need to convert them into gold pound banknotes.

Converting so many gold bars into easily circulated banknotes is no easy task. You need to have the necessary channels; otherwise, no matter how inefficient the Metropolitan Police Department is, they will definitely notice you. Connor doesn't have such channels. Even if he did, he estimated that after deducting the handling fees, he would be lucky to get 10,000 gold pounds back from these gold bars, which he estimated to be worth at least 15,000 gold pounds. So, Connor might as well transfer these troublesome items to Margaret. In this way, Connor kills two birds with one stone: fulfilling his promise to Margaret and getting rid of this problem.

After calculating his and Margaret's respective portions, Connor packed quickly and prepared to embark on his journey to Osasuna. Although there was still plenty of time before his one-month agreement with Margaret, Connor had a lot on his plate. If everything went smoothly, upon returning from Osasuna, Connor would have to solve the appearance problem of the Silver Cross Sword for Margaret, research the alchemical golem crafting method, and find a way to repair the Castia Staff. It would definitely be a tight schedule and a heavy workload!

Unlike when he went to Tunguska to find magic stone mines, this time when Connor came to Osasuna, he knew where Scarface was going to find XZ. Without the slightest hesitation, after getting off at the Osasuna train station, Connor decisively headed to that location.

As evening fell, Connor entered a secluded grove of trees on the outskirts of Osasuna. He surveyed his surroundings and nodded to himself. If he wasn't mistaken, this was the very place in Osasuna where the memory fragments he had captured from Scarface's mind indicated Scarface had hidden things!

With a thought, Connor's mental energy silently spread outwards from him. Connor narrowed his eyes, examining the space enveloped by his mental energy. After examining it for a while, a faint smile appeared on Connor's lips.

With a flick of his hand to the spatial ring on his wrist, Connor conjured three magic flags in his hand. He then arranged the flags in an inverted triangle shape and planted them in the ground. With a solemn expression, he cast a spell, and the three magic flags immediately began to glow faintly.

Although Connor was fortunate enough to have captured fragments of memory from Scarface's divine sea, learning that Scarface had hidden the Eastern XZ here and that Scarface's spatial ring was the key to opening this place, memory fragments are still fragments, not Scarface's complete memories. Connor didn't know how to open the magic circle. Fortunately, however, Connor was an alchemist, and the book "Reyes Alchemy," which he studied, contained extremely detailed records on the arrangement and construction of magic circles, and other aspects!
