Wizard Earl

Chapter 397 Connor's Backup Plan

Connor felt that ever since he learned about the "Mental Spring" drug, he seemed to be a bit too easily frightened!

After deciding to risk coming here with Martina, Connor planted all the crystal alchemy bombs he had on hand in his apartment, just in case he lost the gamble and was captured by the secret society, leaving him with no backup plan.

If Connor does not return to his apartment within thirty days, or if he even thinks of it within the city limits of Rune, those crystal alchemical bombs will immediately explode. The power of the explosion will be enough to level half of Land Street, where Connor's apartment is located. Land Street is the most prosperous area in Rune City. People who can live there are either rich or noble. There are absolutely no ordinary people there. So once the explosion happens, it will be a major event that no one can suppress. Not to mention the extremely tough Storm Church, even the Empire, which has always been indifferent as long as things don't go too far, will definitely investigate it thoroughly.

Not to mention that Connor also left behind that letter, which contained information about the secret society that Connor knew, such as everything about Reyes, the relationship between the Valencia Chamber of Commerce and the secret society, the secrets of Dr. Gulsi's private hospital, and so on. With the protection of that silver box, even if the crystal alchemy bomb exploded, the silver box would protect the letter from destruction. When the church and the empire come to investigate the scene, the silver box will definitely be discovered by them.

In short, as long as the Secret Society doesn't touch him, everything is fine. But if the Secret Society does, these are his bargaining chips and backup plans in negotiations. Without any bargaining chips or backup plans, he doesn't even have the right to negotiate. If the Secret Society insists on going its own way and is willing to do anything to get rid of him, then Connor doesn't care. He doesn't care what happens after he dies!

Connor Ferguson, who was prepared to die, arrived here only to find that none of the things he had made were of any use, and the secret society had contacted him about alchemy issues!

"Auxiliary chip, bring up the coastal map of the western coast of the Empire!" While doing some simple processing on the alchemical materials in the box for making the Soul Spear, Connor silently gave the command to the auxiliary chip in his mind.

"Beep! In accordance with the will of the subject, the map has been retrieved!" The cool female voice of the auxiliary chip rang in Connor's mind.

Connor's mind was divided in two; while processing the alchemical materials in his hands, he also checked the information about the western coastal empire of the Empire transmitted through the auxiliary chip in his mind.

Although he didn't know the route the carriage had taken or where it had taken him to in this jungle, Connor knew that it had taken more than an hour for the carriage to get him and Martina here.

Moreover, Connor discovered something extremely important: when he stepped out of the carriage, he could feel the sea breeze from the west coast of the Empire. This sea breeze was very special, unlike any other place. Due to the influence of the warm currents of the Storm Ocean, the sea breeze from the west coast of the Empire generally felt warm, which was very different from the sea breeze in other coastal areas.

The presence of the sea breeze from the western coast of the Empire indicated that this jungle was not far from the Storm Ocean. In addition, knowing the travel time and that he was in a jungle, Old Victor and Martina had enough information to deduce his location, even though they hadn't told him exactly where he was!

"How's Connor doing?"

In a room of an inconspicuous villa at the very center of the manor within the barrier, old Victor stood by the window, gazing at Connor's house outside, and asked leisurely:

"According to the monitors, everything is normal now. Connor has completed the processing of all the incoming materials and has begun forging the Soul Spear!" Standing behind old Victor, Martina calmly answered his question. She hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Although there are no problems with Connor Ferguson, I suspect he may have discovered the presence of the monitors!"

"Hahaha... Martina, weren't you very confident in the surveillance cameras? How come you changed your mind so quickly after Connor arrived? This isn't like you at all." Old Victor turned to look at Martina, a faint smile on his wrinkled face.

Martina glared at old Victor, then, like a defeated rooster, said irritably, "While I am confident, I am not stupid. Connor's ability to see through the magical arrays and restrictions the professor personally set up in the jungle already demonstrates his alchemical prowess..."

Hearing Martina's words, old Victor smiled and shook his head, saying, "Connor's alchemy skills aren't as impressive as you think, but trying to outsmart him using those things in the jungle is completely pointless and unnecessary. The Master has already passed on his life's work in alchemy to Connor. Those things in the jungle were set up by the Master. Even if Connor were an idiot, he could still recognize what he'd learned. Besides, Connor is definitely not a simple character!"

"Butler Victor, what did you say? That Professor Reyes Alchemy was passed on to Connor?" Martina's cold and beautiful face was filled with shock upon hearing what Elder Victor Reyes said.

Under Martina's surprised and astonished gaze, old Victor nodded firmly and said with some complicated emotion, "I was the one who delivered that book to Connor..."

"How could this be... The professor actually passed it on to Connor..." Having received confirmation from Reyes's trusted butler, old Victor, Martina seemed unable to accept this fact, muttering to herself as if she had lost her soul;

"At first, I was just as confused as you about the Master's decision, but after spending some time with Connor, I have to admit that I think I understand why the Master made this decision, not to mention the fact that the Master and Connor are relatives."

"Connor Ferguson is so much like the old master back then, equally ambitious, equally cunning... and Connor's talent in alchemy too. The Castilian Staff in Connor's hand is that top-tier second-tier enchanted item he possesses. Martina, you should have already tested the staff's power; that staff was crafted by Connor Ferguson himself!" Old Victor sighed softly.
