Wizard Earl

Chapter 327 Suspicion After Ecstasy!

To Connor's dismay, the clerk who accepted his ten-pound note, not daring to act on his own, found a supervisor at the post office. The two of them carefully checked the note's authenticity several times before they felt comfortable processing Connor's transaction and giving him nine pounds, nineteen shillings, and two pence in change.

As he left the post office, Connor shook his head with a wry smile. He had queued in the regular lane to keep a low profile and avoid attracting attention, but unexpectedly, he ran into trouble because of something as trivial as not having any change. Fortunately, the letter was successfully sent. The thought of the letter soon reaching that person's hands warmed Connor's heart. In a better mood, he casually tossed two pence to the little girl begging on the street.

After sending the letter, Connor did not return directly to his apartment on Rand Street in the East End. Instead, he went to a carriage rental shop, rented a carriage, and used it to travel to his safe house in the countryside.

"Hey, little guy!" As soon as he entered the magic circle, Connor saw the little blood tiger dozing off listlessly in the room.

"Roar! Roar!" Upon seeing Connor's arrival, the little blood tiger, who had been "abandoned" in the safe house, immediately growled at Connor in dissatisfaction.

"I know, I know. It's not convenient during the day. Varga should be here tomorrow night. Then Varga will take you to play in the nearby woods!" Connor smiled and comforted the little blood tiger. Although he and the little blood tiger had formed an equal contract, he couldn't understand what the little blood tiger's roar meant. However, it wasn't difficult for him to guess what the little blood tiger was trying to express.

Looking at the potion bottle emanating the scent of Blood Lotus potion and the magic stones piled up with their energy absorbed beside the little blood tiger in the safe house, Connor knew that Varga had come here to see the little guy quite often.

That's right! He came here to secretly meet Varga. The letter he just sent was also addressed to Varga. During their last meeting, Connor not only helped Varga subdue the little blood tiger, but also reached an agreement with Varga during their intimate moments on how to contact her. The seventh mailbox in the apartment at number 31, Carmen Street, is Varga's secret mailbox. As for the content of his letter, it was written in a secret language known only to him and Varga.

For Connor, being unable to contact her proactively was too passive, as he could only wait for Varga to come to him. For example, when he was about to break through to the advanced wizard apprentice level, although the dark attribute law on the dark source stone was the most important factor, the potion that Varga provided to assist in the breakthrough was also very important. Connor had to talk to Varga in person to confirm all of this!

Since Varga was scheduled to arrive the following evening, Connor made the most of the time in between. He went to another quiet room in the safe house and carefully took out the Dark Source Stone from his spatial ring. Now that he was about to break through to become an advanced wizard apprentice, Connor did not want to waste a single moment.

As soon as Connor got his hands on the Dark Source Stone, he could clearly feel the pure, surging dark energy within it, as well as the faint, dark attribute law power that could only be sensed with careful observation. Sensing all this, a glint appeared in Connor's eyes.

Having just received Dark Source Stones as compensation from the mysterious organization in his apartment, Connor was in a state of high excitement and not very calm because the temptation of becoming a high-level wizard apprentice was too great. However, after some time, the ecstasy of being on the verge of becoming a high-level wizard apprentice subsided, and his mind returned to calm. Connor's naturally cautious and suspicious nature resurfaced!

Dark Source Stones are incredibly precious to wizard apprentices who cultivate dark attributes. To give them to him as compensation—is it really just because of the Secret Society and Reyes? Are there no wizard apprentices within this mysterious organization who cultivate dark attribute energy?

Thinking of this, Connor stopped his cultivation, which he was about to begin. He took out all sorts of strange alchemical tools from his spatial ring. To ensure that he could cultivate with peace of mind, he was determined to examine the Dark Source Stone carefully.

After examining it for a full hour, Connor used every method imaginable before finally finding a difference between this Dark Source Stone and those described in the ancient texts. While the Dark Source Stones described in the texts, like this one, possessed rich and pure dark energy, the dark energy in the texts was very restrained; even if it dispersed, it wouldn't be excessive. The dark energy in this particular Dark Source Stone, however, seemed to be dissipating far too much…

Realizing this, Connor's gaze as he stared at the Dark Source Stone in his hand clearly showed doubt. Although this Dark Source Stone was different from the Dark Source Stone recorded in the books in terms of the dark energy it contained, the dark attribute law power within the stone was undeniable!

"Auxiliary chip, search the database to see if you can find out the reason for this Dark Source Stone's unusual behavior!" Connor, racking his brains without a solution, mentally commanded the auxiliary chip: If he didn't figure out why this Dark Source Stone was behaving this way, given Connor's cautious nature, he would absolutely not use it for cultivation. The Dark Source Stone was valuable, but compared to his safety, it was nothing! Who knows if this Dark Source Stone's behavior was some kind of trap set by that mysterious organization?

"Beep, in accordance with the subject's will, mission established, searching the database, estimated time one minute... Search complete. The situation of the Dark Source Stone in the subject's possession and the seventeen pages of the alchemical data 'Southgate Alchemy Conjecture' obtained from the subject's mentor Reyes have an 81% similarity to the energy inversion idea proposed!" One minute later, the cool female voice of the auxiliary chip rang in Connor's mind as promised.

"Southgate? Energy backflow?" Connor murmured these two words twice, his eyes lighting up instantly. He immediately instructed the auxiliary chip to transmit the "Southgate Alchemy Conjecture" into my brain.

"Yes, sir... Transfer complete!"

Upon hearing the words "transmission complete," Connor did not hesitate at all and immediately began to mentally review the book.

If Connor remembers correctly, Reyes once praised Southgate's talent in alchemy in "Reyes Alchemy".
