Wizard Earl

Chapter 332 Margaret's Reply

"call·······"

Connor slowly exhaled a breath of stale air while meditating, and then a mysterious fluctuation appeared on his body. However, as soon as this fluctuation appeared, the walls of the meditation room where Connor was located blocked it out.

Opening his eyes, Connor's handsome, angular face broke into a smile. His three weeks of arduous training had finally paid off. His current understanding of the laws of darkness fully met the requirements for breaking through to the advanced wizard apprentice level. If he wanted, he could try to break through to become an advanced wizard apprentice right now. However, of course, Connor wouldn't do that. Without the help of a breakthrough potion, his success rate in breaking through to the advanced wizard apprentice level would certainly not be very high.

He gently blew on the Dark Source Stone in his hand, which had lost its luster and energy. Under Connor's complicated gaze, the Dark Source Stone turned into powder and dissipated in the quiet room. Seeing all this, Connor's suspicion that the Dark Source Stone had been infused with reversed energy increased by three points.

According to the records, even if the Dark Source Stone is used up and its dark energy is exhausted and its dark attribute laws disappear, it will not be so fragile as to be blown into dust in one breath. There must be something else going on in this situation. Given all that has happened before, Connor is increasingly convinced that this Dark Source Stone may have really been "energy-infused" by Southgate!

However, the Dark Source Stone that the mysterious organization compensated him with had already fulfilled its mission, allowing him to achieve the level of rational understanding of the Dark Attribute Laws required to break through to the level of an advanced wizard apprentice. So, as I said before, whether or not the Dark Source Stone had energy flowing back into him, it had nothing to do with Connor Ferguson anymore!

Stepping out of his apartment and looking at the sun high in the sky, Connor, in a good mood, stretched comfortably and then took out all the dozen or so letters from his apartment mailbox and brought them out of the apartment.

Connor's eyes swept carefully over the dozen or so letters, and his gaze immediately locked onto one of them. With a thought, the letter flew automatically into Connor's hand.

After opening the letter and taking out the paper inside, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on Connor's face.

After choosing the Arcane Potion with Varga at the safe house that day, Connor did not immediately return to his apartment to begin his seclusion. Instead, he went to the Imperial Department Store and found Leoni, asking her to pass on a message to Margaret and see if Margaret had any way to find Blackrock Grass.

Judging from the date the letter was sent, Margaret replied to him a week ago. However, because Connor was in seclusion to perceive the laws of darkness, he only saw the letter now. Fortunately, judging from the content of the letter, it's not too late to receive it now.

In her reply to Connor, Margaret still used a secret language known only to her and Connor. In the letter, Margaret told Connor that Blackrock Grass was indeed a drug that was strictly controlled by the Church and the Empire. Even those pharmacies that were licensed to sell Blackrock Grass only received a dozen or so plants at a time. The Imperial Drug Law stipulated that purchasing ten Blackrock Grass plants required approval from the city hall. However, in reality, even if you had the approval, those pharmacies would rarely sell you more than five plants.

This reality immediately dashed Connor's hopes of obtaining Black Rock Grass from pharmacies. After all, he needed five hundred Black Rock Grass plants to condense its essence, and the entire stock of Black Rock Grass in all of Rune's pharmacies probably wouldn't even be one-fifth of what he needed. To get such a large quantity, there were only two ways: first, to get it directly from the source of Black Rock Grass; second, to obtain it from the church and the Metropolitan Police Department's stockpiles!

Black Rock Grass is only cultivated in small quantities in Loen and even along the entire western coast of the empire due to its growing environment, which is also far from enough to meet Connor's demand of 500 plants. If Connor were to leave the western coast of the empire and go to Turin in the southern part of the empire, where Black Rock Grass is mainly grown, he would think it would be better to wait two months for the Secret Society to provide the Black Rock Grass to Varga. After all, given the speed of the train, the main mode of transportation in this world, a round trip to Turin would take at least a month, even without doing anything else. Going to Turin to get Black Rock Grass is pointless, not to mention whether it would be possible to get it or not, from a time perspective, it makes no sense.

Therefore, if Connor wants to acquire enough Blackrock Grass to refine its essence into five hundred Blackrock Grass plants in the near future, there is only one way: to find a way through the Empire or the Church. In her letter, Margaret also pointed out a clear path for Connor. She told Connor that there is a secret warehouse in the county town of Mallorca near Rune. This secret warehouse stores some secret materials of the Storm Church, including a large quantity of Blackrock Grass transported from the Turin region. This Blackrock Grass is very likely to meet Connor's needs for Blackrock Grass.

Because it was a secret warehouse and they didn't want to attract attention, the Storm Church didn't assign many people to protect it. They only arranged for two junior apprentice arbitrators to guard it. However, it's worth noting that although there were only two junior apprentices guarding the secret warehouse, the warehouse itself had a very well-protected magic array. Moreover, if the secret warehouse was attacked, the magic array would automatically contact the Storm Church branch in Mallorca County, where two intermediate wizard apprentices were stationed!

In a sense, if Connor doesn't intend to wait another two months, then the secret warehouse of the Church of Mallorca may be his only chance to get Blackrock Grass.

After carefully reading the information about the Church of Storms in Mallorca twice, Connor burned the letter to ashes. He decided to go to Mallorca to secretly observe the church's secret warehouse. A major reason for this decision was that the arbitrators the church had placed in Mallorca were not very strong!

With Connor's strength, even if the operation failed and he encountered the worst-case scenario—being besieged by the two intermediate wizard apprentice arbitrators arranged by the Church of Storms in Mallorca—Connor was confident that he could break through the encirclement and escape unscathed. In such a situation, there was no reason for Connor not to give it a try. Moreover, Connor was very confident in his expertise in array formations. He might be able to find a way to break the defensive array of that secret warehouse without alerting the Church of Storms branch in Mallorca!
