Wizard Earl

Chapter 254 Reyes' Summoning

Connor took the note, glanced at it, and then destroyed it in front of Leonie. He knew the location and how to retrieve the item; his purpose for coming here today was complete. He said to Leonie, "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving!"

Leonie gave Connor a complicated look before shaking her head.

Although he found Leonie's gaze somewhat puzzling, Connor didn't dwell on it. He nodded and walked out of the small room, leaving the Imperial Department Store.

Without any delay, Connor left the Imperial Department Store and went straight to the Alpha Warehouse that Leoni had mentioned. The process of retrieving the materials went very smoothly. Connor did not disturb anyone. He found the two hidden compartments and opened them using the method written on the note Leoni had given him. Inside, he found three spatial rings.

Connor quietly took the ring and left the Alpha Warehouse, returning to his apartment at 16 Rand Street, where he would complete his research and work on crafting the alchemical golem!

The next day, Connor, who had spent the entire night studying the alchemical techniques for creating alchemical golems in "Reyes Alchemy," was preparing to continue his work when a strange look suddenly flashed across his face.

He retrieved a piece of paper from his spatial ring, which was shimmering with white light. When the light faded slightly, Connor saw the handwriting of his mentor, Reyes, which he recognized very well.

"Female wizard, blood magic, intermediate wizard apprentice. After locating this person in Rune, put it in the mailbox at my villa. Victor is in Rune!"

Upon seeing the message Reyes had sent him on the telegram, Connor felt his head go "buzz"!

Blood magic is a forbidden art. If the two major churches and the empire discover that one is practicing this art, it will lead to a fight to the death. Not to mention practicing it, very few people even know about it. Connor felt that if he hadn't been backed by the Secret Society and Reyes, and hadn't obtained a huge amount of knowledge from Reyes, he might not have known about blood magic.

People who dare to practice the forbidden art of blood witchcraft are already very rare, and female wizards are even rarer. Statistically speaking, this eliminates about half of the candidates. In addition, the conditions of being a Rune and an intermediate wizard apprentice further narrow down the range. Connor felt that the person Reyes was looking for was already obvious to him.

"Margaret!"

That's right! After reading the message Reyes sent on the telepathic note, Connor immediately pictured his collaborator Margaret in his mind. The four characteristics Reyes mentioned in the message were practically tailor-made for Margaret.

After receiving this message, Connor could no longer calm himself down and continue studying the knowledge of alchemical golems. He was now eager to know what Margaret had done to make Reyes act so unusually!

···········

···········

Just as Connor was anxiously trying to find Margaret, in a smoky tavern in the eastern part of the Loen district, filled with the stench of men's sweat and cheap perfume from prostitutes, two elderly men were drinking and chatting like old brothers who hadn't seen each other for years.

"Mr. Edel, thank you so much for coming to see me in person!" Amidst the surrounding noise, the hunched-over Victor raised his glass with neither servility nor arrogance, offering a toast to the elderly man opposite him.

Edel was a very common name in the Kaman Empire, but only one person could command such treatment from Reyes's butler, the old Victor, a high-ranking wizard apprentice...

Although the old man sitting opposite old Victor at this moment did not resemble Edel, who was now the bishop of the Church of Rune Storms, in any way, whether in terms of physique, appearance, or aura, even the most imaginative person would never have imagined that the bishop of the Church of Rune Storms would personally meet with a black wizard in such a chaotic place!

"Speak plainly!" Edel showed no courtesy to old Victor and said coldly. If Reyes hadn't personally sent him a message demanding that he come to see his butler, he would never have ended up like this, in such a filthy place, to see this man.

Edel and Victor appeared to be in the chaotic tavern, but in reality, there was a transparent barrier surrounding them. They could hear the sounds outside clearly, but no one outside could hear a single word of their conversation inside the barrier.

Although his warm welcome was met with a cold shoulder, old Victor showed no embarrassment whatsoever. He naturally withdrew the wine glass he had offered. Old Victor knew very well that, given his status and position, there was no possibility of him meeting this person. The reason this person was able to come to see him was simply because of the professor's orders.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I'm contacting you through the professor, but I have no choice. One of our secret society's important locations has been invaded, and we must catch this person as quickly as possible!" After carefully choosing his words, old Victor earnestly told Edel.

"About that thing?" Edel, whose demeanor had completely changed after hearing old Victor's account, pondered for a moment and said in a low voice:

This time, old Victor didn't speak, but simply nodded heavily!

Seeing old Victor nod, Edel's disguised face also turned serious, and he said in a deep voice

He asked, "How can I help you?"

Upon hearing Eder's words, even the usually impassive old Victor couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his aged face. He knew clearly Eder's identity and the immense power he could mobilize in Rune. Without the slightest hesitation, old Victor revealed the plan he had already devised:

"Mr. Edel, I need you to mobilize all the church's arbitrators in the name of thoroughly investigating the dark wizard to conduct a search in Rune. Although we haven't caught the person who invaded our important location, we already know some of her characteristics: a mid-level wizard apprentice, a woman, and she practices blood witchcraft!" Old Victor emphasized the words "blood witchcraft" at the end.

"Blood magic!" Edel murmured, his tone tinged with surprise.

"That's right, I personally inspected the battle site and am basically certain that the infiltrator wizard practiced the forbidden art of blood magic!" Old Victor said with absolute certainty.
