Wizard Earl

Chapter 343 Possession Technique

Upon hearing the waiter, who identified himself as Williams, mention the name of Vivian's Restaurant, Connor narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't recognize the waiter, he knew Vivian's Restaurant very well. It was a restaurant near Green University, popular among Green University students for its clean, delicious, and reasonably priced food. Back in Green University, Varga had helped Connor treat injuries sustained during his knight training on several occasions, and Connor had treated Varga to meals there as a return gift on several occasions.

"Oh! It's what I ordered. Bring it in!" Connor quickly thought it over. He decided to have the waiter, Williams, bring the food into his apartment. There was definitely something wrong with the food from Vivian's Restaurant. Vivian's Restaurant was near Green University, at least half an hour away by public carriage from his apartment. Given the distance and the connection between Vivian's Restaurant and himself and Varga, it was hard for Connor not to think of Varga, who still hadn't appeared.

"Okay!" At Connor's instruction, Williams picked up the huge lunchbox and delivered it to Connor's apartment.

Just as Connor closed the door, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. With a thought, he activated the concealment array he had set up in the apartment. He planned to use the Soul-Seizing Technique on Williams to see what was going on. However, things didn't go as planned. Before Connor could even make a move, Williams put the lunchbox in Connor's kitchen and then suddenly fainted, lying stiffly on the floor of Connor's apartment.

This sudden situation immediately alerted Connor, who gripped the Castiel Staff tightly in his hand.

Holding the Castilian Staff, Connor solemnly probed Williams, who lay unconscious on the ground, with his mental energy.

At this moment, Williams' eyes were closed, his face was rosy, his breathing was calm, and his heartbeat and pulse were all very normal. He did not seem to have suffered any sudden illness.

A hint of doubt flashed in Connor's eyes. His mental energy test had clearly not detected any energy fluctuations in Williams!

Just as Connor was beginning to have doubts and was preparing to conduct a further examination of Williams, Williams unexpectedly opened his eyes again and stood up from the ground without any warning.

Seeing Williams erupt in such a bizarre state once again, Connor's patience ran out completely. He swung his Castiel Staff, ready to launch an attack. However, just a second before Connor's attack, a clear and melodious sound that Connor was extremely familiar with suddenly rang out from Williams.

"Connor, it's me!"

Upon hearing the incredibly familiar voice of Varga, Connor's gaze towards Williams instantly turned to one of utter astonishment, and he involuntarily halted his prepared attack.

"I'm currently tied up at the hospital and can't come to your house, so I'll use this waiter's body to perform a possession spell!" Williams uttered Varga's voice again.

Upon hearing the words "possession spell," Connor's confusion eased somewhat. He then examined Williams' eyes, which were open but completely vacant as if devoid of consciousness, and his stiff limbs. Connor nodded and put the Castia Staff back into his spatial ring.

"The possession spell can only last for three minutes, so Connor, you must remember what I'm about to say!" Varga's voice was full of solemnity. After reminding Connor once, Varga didn't waste any more time and began to state, "I refined the Arcane Potion during the first three days of this week, but for some reason, I can't go to your house to give it to you directly. So I put the potion under the safe house in Sassuolo Port. You can go there to get it."

"And in the remaining four days, I devoted all my energy to analyzing the Spirit Spring potion. Initially, I exhausted all conventional methods of analyzing the effects of potions, but I couldn't find any answers from Spirit Spring. However, when I took a gamble and diluted Spirit Spring several times over to conduct clinical trials on ordinary people, I discovered a huge secret about Spirit Spring!" At this point, Varga's clear voice seemed to tremble slightly. She paused for a moment, then continued:

"Those ordinary people I experimented with who took the Spirit Spring potion, within twenty-four hours of taking it, seemed to transform from ordinary people into monsters. Their minds became abnormally excited and sensitive, their intellect was greatly affected, becoming extremely irritable and irrational, and they felt no fatigue or pain. Some ordinary people without any wizarding talent even awakened their mental power. This shows that the actual mental vitality contained in the Spirit Spring potion is far stronger than it appears!"

"I was thrilled to discover this, and just as I was preparing to conduct a more thorough examination of these ordinary people to obtain more detailed data, 24 hours later, these individuals who had taken the Spirit Spring drug all showed varying degrees of obvious signs of aging, such as gray hair and wrinkles. These signs are completely illogical from a pharmacological perspective. Given this phenomenon, the reason Spirit Spring is so effective is very likely that it comes at the cost of overdrawing one's life force… Furthermore, judging from the current performance of these ordinary people who have taken the Spirit Spring drug, the mental and psychological side effects caused by the drug are very likely permanent and irreversible!"

As Connor listened to Varga's account, a cold smile gradually appeared on his lips. What a cruel joke! The side effects of overdrawing one's life force, causing permanent and irreversible damage to the mind and spirit. If it weren't for the fortuitous coincidence—Varga's unintentional act that made him more wary of the "Mental Spring" potion that could increase his chances of breaking through to become an advanced wizard apprentice by 30%—he probably would already be tempted by the 30% success rate and have already started taking the Mental Spring potion to try and break through to become an advanced wizard apprentice!

"And there's one more crucial thing, Connor, that I think you absolutely need to know. Based on the clinical trials of the Spiritual Spring that I currently have in hand, a mere 30% success rate for a mental wizard like Connor to break through to the advanced wizard level is far too conservative. I estimate it should be around 50% to 70%..."
