Wizard Earl

Chapter 529 Untitled

Unlike the letter Connor expected from Stipe Ferguson, the ancestor of the Ferguson family, to his descendants who would inherit the family's wizarding tradition, about the origin and use of the cube-shaped crystal, this letter only contained two Byzantine characters!

"Blood! Soul!"

The word "blood" seemed to be written in real blood. Even after hundreds of years in this spatial ring, it was still exceptionally vivid. Looking at it, one felt as if they were in a sea of ​​blood, with a strong smell of blood filling their nostrils!

Unlike the red word for "blood," the second Byzantine word for "soul" on the letter is written in pure black. Gazing at this word, you feel as if you are trapped in an endless black space.

Upon seeing the two words on the letter, Connor's expression immediately turned serious. There was no doubt that these two words were not simple. Connor felt that the reason why these two words gave people such a strange feeling must be related to illusion. Although he did not understand why Stip Ferguson would leave such a message, judging from his action of pressing the cube crystal on the letter, it should be a hint left by Stip Ferguson for the descendants of the Ferguson family who would inherit the wizarding heritage.

Taking the cube-shaped crystal from his ruby ​​spatial ring, Connor hesitated for a moment before retrieving his own spatial ring. From there, he took out a magnifying glass with a pale blue sheen. This magnifying glass was the alchemical tool he had used to examine the "Selected Works of Pandev Pharmacology" last time. With its assistance, Connor could discover many subtle clues.

Connor carefully examined the cube-shaped crystal from top to bottom with a magnifying glass. A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes as he held the magnifying glass. The entire cube-shaped crystal was made of the finest quality crystal, with excellent magical conductivity. In the wizarding world of the Byzantine era, crystals of this quality were either used to create enchanted items or for inheritance. This was somewhat related to the wizarding heritage of Stip Ferguson.

This wasn't the first time Connor had seen crystals of such high quality. In fact, Connor currently had several crystals of similar quality to the cube-shaped one in his spatial ring, but they were all only the size of a fist or a finger. This was the first time Connor had ever seen one that was a full square meter in size. In terms of value, this cube-shaped crystal was already a treasure in itself.

What truly intrigued and surprised Connor was that, on the surface, this cube-shaped crystal appeared to be just a simple cut piece of raw crystal, without any signs of refining. However, as an alchemist, Connor's intuition told him that this cube-shaped crystal must have undergone alchemy!

There are only two possibilities for this situation. First, Connor's intuition is wrong, and this cube-shaped crystal really hasn't undergone alchemy! Second, Connor's intuition is correct, and this cube-shaped crystal has been alchemized, but the alchemist's skill level is very high, far above Connor's, and no alchemy traces are left on the surface of the cube-shaped crystal that Connor could find!

While Connor was pondering the mystery of the cube-shaped crystal left by Stip Ferguson, the ancestor of the Ferguson family, in the basement of Ramsey Street, a middle-aged, portly man who had once clashed with Connor at Reno's Pharmacy sat upright on a sofa in a farmhouse in Granada, a small town near Loen. He was toying with a finely crafted gold coin in his plump hand, his small eyes gleaming with a shrewd light, seemingly hesitant.

"Old man, this Destiny Coin of yours can only be used twice. Are you really going to waste it on this guy you've never even seen?" Beside the man, a blonde woman asked him earnestly.

"Before coming to Rune this time, I used a gold coin to divine the future. The coin indicated that my trip to Rune would be thrilling but safe, and I would eventually achieve my goal!" The fat uncle stopped playing with the gold coin in his hand, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he looked at the blonde aunt.

"You've already used it once? So this Destiny Coin can still be used...?" Hearing the fat uncle's words, a look of surprise appeared on the blonde aunt's face, and then her eyes fell on the gold coin in the fat uncle's hand, which was radiating brilliant golden light.

"That's right, this little guy can be used once more!" The chubby uncle didn't deny his wife's guess, he weighed the Destiny Coin in his hand, and nodded in agreement.

"Since that person didn't dare to meet you at Renault's Pharmacy, he probably knows he can't beat you. Old man, it's not worth wasting this last of your Destiny Coins on him. Why don't you save this last one for after you've finished making the potion, and then use divination to see if you can successfully break through!" Without hesitation, the blonde aunt immediately advised the fat uncle.

Hearing the aunt's suggestion, the chubby uncle smiled indulgently, then shook his head and said, "Do you really think my Destiny Coin is some kind of third-tier enchanted item? If it could predict whether I could successfully break through, I wouldn't be here! I would have become a formal wizard twenty years ago!"

The chubby uncle's explanation made the blonde aunt blush with embarrassment. She muttered under her breath, "Even if I can't predict whether you can successfully break through to become a formal wizard, I shouldn't waste my time on someone of unknown identity!"

"Unidentified? I can roughly guess who this person is!" As he spoke, the fat man took out a piece of paper from his pocket. Under the dim orange light of the kerosene lamp in the room, it was clearly written that it would be five days later, at 10:00 AM, Salah Cafe, No. 15 Nice Community, East District.

Looking at Connor's handwriting on the notebook, the chubby uncle said with a hint of amusement, "The Reno Pharmacy was the address I left for Miss Antonella's reply. This mysterious person used their mental power to probe that place and left me this note. Most likely, this mysterious person is Miss Antonella's accomplice. This mysterious person's mental power is very strong; even when I used that mental power-enhanced item, I was still suppressed in the mental power struggle. However, I've figured something out these past few days. Although this mysterious person's mental power is strong, it doesn't exceed the scope of a wizard apprentice!"
