Wizard Earl

Chapter 352 Positioning

As the mask and gray robe were removed, the gray-robed man, Connor, was revealed to have his original physical characteristics and appearance.

"FUCK!" In the empty, deserted grove, Connor couldn't contain his anger and cursed under his breath.

His plan was perfect, and his execution was perfect, but in the end, he couldn't withstand Martina's unexpected appearance!

Connor was initially quite satisfied with his position within the Secret Society. He had very few contacts within the society, except for Varga, old Victor, his mentor Reyes, and Bispin, whom he had only met once at the safe house in the port of Sassuolo. Only four people had seen him, and judging from Reyes's attitude, it was highly likely that only these four people knew of his existence. This made Connor feel very safe!

The Secret Society's confrontation with the Church of Storms naturally intensifies the Church's search and arrest efforts against the Secret Society. The more contact one has with the Secret Society, the greater the risk of exposure. This time, without Connor's knowledge, Old Victor arranged for Martina Conti to meet with him, even letting her know his true identity. This action undoubtedly increases Connor's risk of exposure, which is unacceptable to him! Wasn't the reason he wore a mask and disguised himself as the gray-robed man precisely to avoid detection?

"Sigh..." Connor sighed softly. He knew that getting angry would be useless in this situation and wouldn't help anything. Now he could only wait and see.

Connor took out a somewhat crudely made silver mirror from his spatial ring, took a deep breath, and cast a spell on the mirror.

Ever since his conversation with Margaret that day, when Connor realized that the alchemical bombs she was crafting for old Victor would be crucial, Connor decided he had to know what old Victor would do with them!

Although the black pill alchemical bombs he refined were not the crystal bombs he was most skilled at, these black pills still contained some of his unique alchemical information. Connor did not want to be blamed for something he knew nothing about!

So Connor chose to put a newly developed alchemical product, the Positioning Bead, into these black pill alchemical bombs. As its name suggests, this product has only one function: positioning!

In addition, this positioning bead has the characteristic of being extremely well concealed. Not only is it invisible to the naked eye, but because it is hidden inside the alchemical bomb, Connor dares not say whether it can hide from the mental detection of a formal wizard! However, after his own testing, Connor is certain that an apprentice-level mental power would be virtually impossible to detect the presence of these positioning beads in the black pill alchemical bomb he refined.

This is why Connor specifically reminded him earlier that the Martina bomb was unstable. If there are high-energy items in the spatial ring, it's best not to put the alchemical bomb into it. Otherwise, with Connor's alchemy skills, how could he possibly make the alchemical bomb so unstable? Connor using a cake box to put the bomb was also to imply this point!

The positioning bead he hid in the alchemical bomb, once activated, would become unusable if placed in a spatial ring or other spatial item, as it would enter another space. Similarly, if a highly energetic item existed within the spatial ring, it would also affect the positioning bead's location. The silver mirror in his hand was a demonized object that received the positioning information from the bead. As long as the alchemical bomb remained in Rune, the positioning signal would be transmitted discreetly and continuously to the silver mirror in Connor's hand!

Seeing the black dot moving continuously on the mirror after it was activated, Connor finally smiled. To ensure the best concealment of the positioning bead hidden in the bomb, Connor hadn't injected too much energy into it. The energy in the positioning bead was only enough for one week of use. After all, while injecting too much energy would extend the bead's lifespan, it would also increase the risk of it being discovered. The fact that the energy was only enough for one week meant that after one week, the positioning bead would stop working due to lack of energy, and Connor would lose control of the alchemical bomb he had created.

Connor believed that a week was enough time. If the parachuted-in Rune Arbitrator, Lenglet, really wanted to come for him, he would definitely act swiftly. If Edel wanted to outmaneuver Lenglet, seizing this opportunity was undoubtedly the best time. Connor believed there was at least an 80% chance that the alchemical bomb he had crafted would explode in Rune within a week!

If the alchemical bomb explodes, everything will be simple. The positioning bead hidden inside the bomb will simply return to dust. However, if it doesn't explode and more than a week has passed, the positioning bead inside the bomb will run out of energy and stop working. Connor isn't worried; he had already anticipated this. After a week, the positioning bead that has stopped working will automatically decompose, and no one will find any trace of the positioning bead inside the bomb!

"This location is... the Mainz warehouse of the Valencia Chamber of Commerce?" Looking at the small black dot on the silver mirror, which moved for a while before stopping at a certain spot, Connor pondered for a moment and muttered to himself:

···········

···········

Meanwhile, in the countryside of the southern Loen district, inside the Mainz warehouse belonging to the Valenciaga Chamber of Commerce, a meeting shrouded in intrigue and bloodshed was quietly taking place.

"There are four targets! The leader is this bearded Epstein! Notice that this person has the highest kill priority; make sure he's dead!" Martina Conti, who had just met Connor at the Bruges tavern, held up a photo of bearded Epstein and spoke to six people completely concealed in black robes in the warehouse.

If Connor were here now, he would find that these six men in black exuded the same eerie aura as the demonized knight Hector who had attacked him before. However, the man in black standing at the front of the group was clearly more powerful than the other five, reaching the level of a high-level wizard apprentice.

"As long as your secret society's intelligence is accurate, none of these four people will escape..." After Martina showed everyone Epstein's photos, the man in black standing at the front slowly spoke:
