Wizard Earl

Chapter 436 Inspection (2)

The method he just used is a technique called "Magnetic Spirit" for examining items, recorded in "Reyes Alchemy." This method is specifically designed for examining items that are difficult to examine using conventional methods, such as those sealed inside objects. The stone shown in the image in the crystal ball is the item placed in that "book." Connor had used the Magnetic Spirit method to examine things before, but none of them had produced this result.

Although he couldn't figure out where the problem was, Connor felt it was always better to be cautious. Whatever the problem was, Connor decided to stop using the Magnet method to probe the stone hidden in the book.

Connor thought for a moment, then took out a blue mirror about the size of a human hand from his spatial ring. He looked at the small blue mirror with a complicated expression, nodded to himself, and made his final decision. He took out his alchemy furnace from his spatial ring, then put the small mirror into the furnace, along with several other alchemy materials, and began to refine it according to his idea.

An hour and a half later, Connor put away the alchemy furnace. In his hand was a small mirror radiating brilliant golden light. Looking at the mirror, Connor's lips twitched with pain. He had really gone all out to create this imitation enchanted item, adding the last bit of magic crystal dust he had left from crafting the Castia Staff and the Silver Pendant. Of course, if it weren't for the remaining magic crystal dust, there wouldn't be enough to craft another second-tier enchanted item. Connor would never have added the remaining magic crystal dust to this enchanted item that could only be used three times.

Although the cost of crafting this small mirror was quite high, it was fortunate that it was finally completed. As long as it could fulfill the mission that Connor had given it, Connor would not have lost out.

From his first attendance at the Mönchengladbach Club gathering, Connor, though dismissive of the power of the replica of the Mirror of Truth, supposedly belonging to the ninth Byzantine emperor Bastituta, which the club was responsible for inspecting visiting wizards, was still quite interested in the enchanted item itself. After making inquiries, Connor learned that the small mirror at the Mönchengladbach Club, rather than being a textile from the Mirror of Truth, was actually a replica of a replica of the Mirror of Truth.

Someone discovered a damaged replica of the Mirror of Truth in a Byzantine ruin. Because the damage was so severe, this replica of the Mirror of Truth found in the ruin had no combat value and could only be used as a specimen for studying enchanted items from the Byzantine period. Therefore, the discoverer sold the replica of the Mirror of Truth at a low price. After changing hands several times, the mirror ended up in the hands of Mr. Mustafa, who ran the Mönchengladbach Club.

Mr. Mustafa seemed to possess some alchemy knowledge, and casually recreated the mirror used by the Mönchengladbach Guild to inspect visiting wizards, based on the structure of the Mirror of Truth's textiles. Intrigued by the legendary Mirror of Truth, Connor spent some magic stones to try and exchange it for a replica from Mr. Mustafa. Unfortunately, Mr. Mustafa had already disassembled the mirror while Connor was studying it, so Connor only received the structure of the replica.

Although he only received a structure in exchange, this exchange actually allowed Connor to discover something valuable with the help of the auxiliary chip, which greatly improved Connor's alchemy skills. The small blue mirror that Connor just took out was an experimental product that Connor made based on the structure of the Mirror of Truth that he obtained from Mr. Mustafa.

After becoming a high-level wizard apprentice, Connor's alchemy skills improved significantly with his breakthrough in cultivation. This led Connor to have a persistent idea: to upgrade the Blue Mirror. However, he was always troubled by the fact that the upgraded mirror was only a semi-finished product with a limit of three uses, unlike normal enchanted items. Therefore, Connor had not made a final decision. But now, facing the doubt of whether his mental power had been eroded, Connor finally made up his mind!

After adjusting his own state, Connor cautiously poured his mental and magical power into the small, still-warm golden mirror he had just crafted. As he poured in his magic and mental power, Connor's eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at the golden mirror. Although it could only be used three times, according to Connor's analysis, the golden mirror was extremely magical. One of its functions was that it could detect subtle changes in a wizard's body that they themselves might not be able to detect.

Connor's auxiliary chip says that his mental power has been eroded by the stone hidden in the book, but it doesn't say how it was eroded. Connor himself has not noticed any trace of his mental power being eroded. This small golden mirror has finally come in handy!

Before Connor could wait long, a cluster of black gas shimmering with countless silver lights appeared in the small golden mirror. Strangely, some of the silver specks in the black gas seemed to be mixed with some very faint green specks. Although these green specks mixed with the silver specks were extremely small and could not be detected without careful observation, there was no doubt that they were indeed real.

Connor's face darkened instantly upon seeing the green dots. He knew that the auxiliary chip had saved him this time. The meditation method he practiced was the Abyss Secret Technique, which combined dark and mental cultivation. Therefore, the black aura shimmering with countless silver lights that appeared in the golden mirror was a perfectly normal phenomenon without any problem. However, these green dots mixed in with the silver dots, which should not have appeared, were extremely suspicious!

Although it has not yet been fully confirmed that these green dots are indeed the erosion of his mental power mentioned by the auxiliary chip, in Connor's eyes, the two are already synonymous.

Although these green dots were less than one percent of the silver light in the black aura, Connor was still secretly relieved that he had chosen to trust the auxiliary chip. Although there were very few green dots now, it was only a dozen seconds from when the "Magnetic Spirit" issued a warning through the auxiliary chip to when he stopped!
