Wizard Earl

Chapter 371 Overcoming Difficulties

Knowing that Connor, as Professor Reyes's successor in the spiritual wizardry field, was very likely also extremely skilled in soul searching, Martina set off for Connor's apartment without hesitation to rescue Alucard. Alucard was a wizard specially assigned to surveillance and tracking by the secret society, and knew many secrets that were extremely important to the secret society in his divine sea. Although these secrets were protected by restrictions in Alucard's divine sea, Martina, who had witnessed Reyes's amazing methods, dared not gamble on how much of her mentor's skills Connor, as Reyes's student, had inherited in soul searching.

Martina rushed to Connor's apartment and found that Connor, who was a mid-level wizard apprentice when they met in the Bruges tavern a month ago, had now become a high-level wizard apprentice like herself. Although she was a little surprised, she was not too astonished.

After all, when Connor last met, Connor's cultivation had already reached the peak of intermediate wizard apprentice, and he was in a state where he could break through to become an advanced wizard apprentice at any time. In addition, Connor was Professor Reyes's student. With Reyes's strength and his power in the Secret Society, Connor Ferguson, as his disciple, would definitely receive preferential treatment in terms of the Secret Society's breakthrough resources. It is theoretically possible that he could successfully break through to become an advanced wizard apprentice in about a month. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is not impossible!

After her negotiations with Connor regarding handing over Accard broke down, Martina chose to provoke Connor into a contest for two reasons. First, she intended to lure Connor away from his apartment, giving Accard a chance to escape—Martine, who knew Accard well, was aware of his ability to do so. Second, Martina planned to use this opportunity to teach Connor a lesson!

Martina, who knew Connor was Reyes's student after their last meeting at the Bruges pub, had initially hoped to befriend him. However, she was met with a cold shoulder, which fueled her resentment and desire to teach Connor a lesson. This is the root cause of her foul attitude upon arriving at Connor's apartment.

Martina was confident that she had broken through to become an advanced wizard apprentice earlier than Connor, and her cultivation and magical power were naturally deeper than Connor's. In addition, she had a combination of enchanted items that were rare in the wizarding world. Giving Connor, who had just become an advanced wizard apprentice, a memorable and crushing defeat would not be difficult at all.

Knowing that Connor's mentor, Professor Reyes, was a psychic wizard, Martina was prepared for Connor's mental attacks, as Connor was Reyes's student. She also had a magical item on her to defend against mental attacks, which was her advantage over Connor. The reason Martina was able to react so quickly when she was first attacked by Connor's mental attacks was because of this magical item.

Martina's confidence soared after being attacked by mental energy, believing that Connor was nothing special. Overconfident, she began to unleash her full power and prepared for a major battle. The battle was progressing as she expected. After using her combined magical items, she swept through Connor and gradually gained the upper hand. However, to her utter surprise, Connor launched a bizarre mental attack, far more powerful than the initial one, at the very last moment before her victory, turning the tide of the battle.

Even now, Martina's mind is still replaying Connor's terrifying mental attack. Looking back, Martina believes that although the mental attack was strong, it wasn't strong enough to defeat her in one blow. The reason she lost so miserably was mainly because she was too confident in the magical items protecting her from mental attacks and underestimated the power of Connor's mental attacks as a mental wizard.

Furthermore, Connor's mental attack was timed perfectly. It was precisely when she was preparing to unleash the second wave of lightning to completely finish off Connor. She never expected that Connor, who had already been injured by her, could still unleash such a terrifying mental attack.

Thinking of this, Martina's fair hands clenched into fists. If time could be reversed and she could go back to the moment, or if she had another chance to fight Connor in the future, Martina believed that as long as she was well prepared, even if Connor could still unleash such a terrifying mental attack, she would definitely be able to withstand it!

"Beep! Simulation test complete. The alchemical golem can mine magic stones in the simulated environment for a year, requiring only one part replacement. In terms of energy consumption, for every 100 raw magic stones mined, the alchemical golem only needs to consume 10 refined magic stones..."

"Hahahaha... Damn it, I finally did it!"

Unaware that Martina was still thinking about Connor, in the alchemy lab of her apartment, a satisfied smile appeared on her face when she heard the cool, aloof girl from the auxiliary chip echoing in her mind!

He had discovered the magic stone mine in Tunguska City almost a year ago, but large-scale mining had not yet begun because Connor had not yet developed a suitable alchemical golem. This had become a major concern for Connor. Connor had overcome the first two of the three hurdles in creating alchemical golems—the mana runes and the energy consumption of the golems—but he still had not overcome the third hurdle: the golems' resistance to magic stone energy radiation.

Now that he has become a senior wizard apprentice, Connor's alchemy skills, which were previously limited by his cultivation level, have increased significantly. Therefore, the problem of energy radiation from magic stone ore, the third hurdle that had been troubling Connor in the alchemical golem's crafting process, has naturally been solved!

With the successful simulation under the aid chip's established conditions, his next step is to officially begin manufacturing alchemical golems. He can complete ten alchemical golems in three months at most. At that time, all the alchemical golems can be put into the mining of magic stone mines, and his spatial ring will be filled with magic stones!

Thinking of this, Connor's smile grew even brighter. However, before Connor could feel even more happy, he sensed a very familiar petite figure gradually approaching his apartment.
