Wizard Earl

Chapter 335 The Space Items in the Safe

"Shhhhh... Shhhhh..." The eerie sound that had been emanating from the guarding secret warehouse for about five seconds suddenly stopped. However, the next second, under Connor's murderous gaze, a small hole, just big enough for one person to pass through, suddenly broke open in the upper left corner of the seemingly indestructible protective array.

"Now!" Connor roared in his heart, pushing his speed to the limit and rushing straight towards the small hole. In the blink of an eye, Connor, who had just seized the opportunity he had created, found two dumbfounded, unlucky guys standing in front of him, not yet understanding what had happened. Behind him, the small hole, which would only exist for a second, immediately closed.

With a quick glance at the two unfortunate souls, Connor, eager to finish the fight quickly, went all out, daring not to hold back in the slightest. He immediately activated the mental power amplification of the silver pendant, delivering a mental shock to each of them.

"ah······"

"ah······"

The instant after releasing the mental shock, Connor heard two screams. One of the unfortunate men, a thin young man, was bleeding from all seven orifices, writhing on the ground in agony and completely incapacitated. The other, a middle-aged man with a large beard, perhaps because of his deeper cultivation and stronger mental power, was also bleeding from all seven orifices, but he managed to stay upright. However, before he could recover, he was horrified to discover that a mysterious chain wrapped in terrifying black flames was heading straight for his heart.

Sensing a terror emanating from the depths of his soul, the bearded middle-aged man fought desperately. Blood trickling from his seven orifices, he immediately conjured an ice shield before him, attempting to block the advance of the mysterious chains. However, all of this was futile against Connor's absolute power. The moment his innate spell, Shadow Chains, touched the ice shield, it shattered instantly. The bearded man felt a burning sensation in his chest, and his life force rapidly faded. In his last moments, he saw his companion's body, bound by the mysterious chains wreathed in terrifying black flames, turn into ashes that vanished with the wind…

After taking down those two unlucky guys, a look of relief appeared on Connor's face. So far, everything he had done had gone very smoothly and was proceeding exactly as he had planned.

"Auxiliary chip, how much time do I have left?" Connor asked silently in his mind as his mental energy rapidly scanned the seemingly ordinary warehouse.

"Beep! There are 1 minute and 21 seconds left before the Boundary Bead loses its shielding effect." Connor sent out a message, and the clear, cold female voice of the auxiliary chip rang clearly in his mind.

Upon hearing that he only had a little over a minute left, Connor's relaxed expression immediately vanished, replaced by seriousness. Not daring to waste a single second, he shot towards a room in the warehouse. If his mental energy detection was correct, that place should be the control center of the protective array of this secret warehouse.

Upon entering the room, Connor immediately noticed a compass-like object shimmering with white light, floating in mid-air. Focusing intently on the compass, Connor, drawing upon his knowledge of magic arrays and alchemy, instantly recognized it as the control hub of the secret warehouse's protective array. Controlling this compass undoubtedly meant controlling the entire array. Realizing this, a glint flashed in Connor's eyes. He then chanted an incantation and, with a flick of his wrist, cast a spell towards the compass.

Under the influence of Connor's incantation and spell, the white light that had been flashing in mid-air gradually dimmed. The next second, the compass, which had stopped emitting white light, slowly came to rest on the ground. As the compass was deactivated, the protective array that had been automatically activated in this secret warehouse was also deactivated. The deactivation of the protective array made the entire warehouse look no different from usual.

Having accomplished this, Connor's tense heart was temporarily relieved. He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and took out several turbid gray crystals from his spatial ring, placing them in various hidden places in the warehouse. After doing all this, Connor immediately went to another room in the warehouse, took out the key he had just found on the corpses of the two unlucky guys, and directly opened the huge safe in the room.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." With the key turning, the safe made a few soft sounds before Connor opened it. What was first presented to Connor was a variety of bonds, including those from the Imperial Bank, the Kaman Bank, and the Kaman Empire's national bonds. These piled-up bonds occupied two-thirds of the safe's space.

Although these bonds, conservatively estimated, would amount to tens of thousands of gold pounds, Connor didn't pay any attention to them. His only goal here was Blackrock Grass. If he wanted money, Connor, being cautious, would never have taken such a big risk by choosing to plunder the Storm Church's secret warehouse.

Aside from bonds, the safe contained only loose gold and silver bars, jewelry, and the like. Forget about the Black Rock Grass Connor was looking for, there wasn't a single thing related to herbs or plants in sight!

Faced with this situation, with only a few dozen seconds left, Connor still tried his best to remain calm, carefully examining the pile of gold and silver jewelry in the safe with his mental energy. In this world, spatial items exist, usually in the form of rings, belts, and various other ornaments. Therefore, it's highly likely that one or more pieces of gold and silver jewelry in the safe are spatial items.

Connor wasn't unwilling to simply take all the gold and silver jewelry into his possession and then examine them carefully after he left—that would have been so much easier! His reasons for not doing so were clear: Firstly, according to the existing understanding in the wizarding world, one cannot place another spatial item inside a spatial item; it will almost certainly cause a spatial explosion. Therefore, without certainty that any spatial item might be among the gold and silver jewelry, Connor would never put them into his spatial ring.
