Wizard Earl

Chapter 334 Common Thinking Traps

Along the banks of the Mallorca River at night, the daytime hustle and bustle has vanished, leaving only the slow, feeble footsteps of the night watchman and the barking of stray dogs in the nooks and crannies of the streets…

In the chilly wind of the night, Connor activated his black magic robe. With the concealment effect of the robe, Connor was silently hidden in the darkness. This allowed Connor to set aside his worries and move forward quickly!

However, when he was about 100 meters away from his target, Connor suddenly slowed down. At the same time, three transparent beads appeared in his hand. A glint flashed in Connor's eyes, and with a flick of his wrist, the beads rolled silently onto the street. Under Connor's mental control, the three transparent beads formed an equilateral triangle, enveloping Connor's target, the secret warehouse of the Sewing Bag Church.

Having gone this far, Connor nervously stared at the secret warehouse before him. If the other party discovered his actions now, it would undoubtedly mean that Connor's plans had completely failed. Connor would no longer think about the Black Rock Grass stored in the secret warehouse, and would obediently stay on the mountain for more than two months, waiting for the secret society to allocate Black Rock Grass to Varga.

One minute passed... two minutes passed... and there was still no movement in the Observer's Secret Vault. Connor couldn't help but smile mockingly. As long as the two junior wizard apprentices from the Storm Church in the Secret Vault didn't notice his actions, his success rate for today was at least 50%!

These three transparent beads are a type of one-time use boundary beads crafted by Connor. Their sole purpose is to shield the area covered by the boundary beads from all changes, including sound, energy fluctuations, and the distress call from the secret warehouse to the nearby Sewing Church branch!

One Boundary Bead can buy Connor one minute. Because the materials for refining this kind of one-time Boundary Bead are limited and time is tight and the task is heavy, Connor only refined three of these one-time Boundary Beads this time. In other words, as long as Connor activates the Boundary Bead, the area where the secret warehouse is located will be relatively independent from the outside world for three minutes. Connor can do what he wants without any interference from the outside world!

Taking a deep breath, Connor waved his hand, and the three boundary beads instantly activated. With his keen intuition, Connor clearly sensed that, exactly as he had predicted, the area enveloped by the boundary beads was immediately isolated from the outside world. He only had three minutes—one hundred and eighty seconds in total. Every second was precious. Within these one hundred and eighty seconds, he had to break through the protective array of the secret warehouse, then kill the two novice wizard guards inside, steal the Black Rock Grass, erase all traces of himself, and then make his escape…

"Buzz..."

With a buzzing sound, Connor immediately produced his Castilian Staff in his hand. Then, with a thought, Connor released a Castilian magic circle centered on himself.

As soon as the Castia magic circle appeared, Connor could clearly sense two spiritual forces probing from the secret warehouse. Judging from the strength of these two spiritual senses, the owners of these two spiritual senses should be the two junior wizard apprentice arbitrators of the Storm Church who were responsible for guarding the secret warehouse.

A cold smile appeared on Connor's lips. He ignored the two guys' actions and continued to manipulate the Castilian magic circle he had released. It was too late for the two guys to realize that something was wrong!

"Who are you? This is church territory, leave immediately!" After a mental scan, a deep baritone voice came from the secret warehouse. From this sentence, it was clear that the two junior apprentice arbitrators guarding the secret warehouse still harbored wishful thinking, hoping that Connor would not know that this place belonged to the church, and hoped to scare Connor away with the name of the Storm Church.

Connor gave them no verbal response, but instead slammed the Castia Magic Circle, which he had unleashed to its fullest extent, into the automatically activated protective magic circle of the secret warehouse!

"boom········!"

The two magic arrays collided, unleashing a deafening roar that echoed across the sky. This sound made Connor secretly relieved; if he hadn't used the boundary bead he had set up to shield the area, the roar would likely have been heard not only by the two intermediate-level wizard apprentice arbitrators at the nearby Storm Church branch, but probably by the entire city of Mallorca…

"Shhhhh..." After the roar, the protective array guarding the secret warehouse suddenly erupted with a strange sound. Upon hearing this sound, even with Connor's composure, an excited expression appeared on his face.

Although this method had been simulated in auxiliary chips and achieved a 74% success rate, Connor was still very happy to see it actually succeed in practice.

A few days after observing the powerful magic array protecting the warehouse, Connor realized he had fallen into a mental trap. What he needed to do was enter the warehouse, not break through its protective array. Although there was a causal relationship between the two, it did not mean that he had to break through the protective array to enter the warehouse.

Having realized this, Connor began to think along these lines and, a day earlier, had figured out the most crucial part of the entire plan: how to enter the magic circle. His method was to "use a magic circle to break a magic circle"—using the Castia Magic Circle to attack the secret warehouse's protective magic circle. As a unique ability of the Castia Staff, a second-tier top-level enchanted item, the Castia Magic Circle was quite powerful. It might not be able to quickly destroy the secret warehouse's protective magic circle, but with the help of the secondary main chip, Connor discovered that based on the passive nature of the secret warehouse's protective magic circle, theoretically, if the two magic circles collided, it would be possible to find the weakest point of the secret warehouse's protective magic circle through extensive calculations!

The secondary master chip, possessing near-terrifying computational power, turned theory into reality. Combined with the unique application of the knowledge of magic arrays recorded in *Reyes Alchemy*, Connor believed he could create a vulnerability in the protective magic array guarding the secret vault that would only exist for a single second…
