Wizard Earl

Chapter 546 Are they being targeted again?

Although Connor initially did not find any traces of alchemy on the cube crystal, his efforts paid off after days of observation and research. He finally discovered some clues on the cube crystal. If Connor's observation was not wrong, then this cube crystal was a crystal, or perhaps in a sense it was not a crystal at all!

The reason for this is that this cube-shaped crystal may not be a normal crystal, formed naturally over time, but rather the result of an ancient alchemy practiced during the Byzantine period called "Crystal Sealing Technique".

The so-called "crystal sealing technique" simply means using magic to condense a layer of crystal on the object to be sealed. Taking advantage of the crystal's good magical conductivity and strong magical storage, the treasure is sealed in the crystal.

Upon discovering that this cube-shaped crystal might be related to crystal sealing magic, Connor immediately realized that there was something inside! Connor immediately used every method he knew to probe the center of the cube, but no matter what method he used, he failed without exception. He simply couldn't detect whether there was another treasure at the center of the cube. However, although he couldn't detect any other treasure, it didn't mean that Connor's investigation was fruitless. Connor discovered that at least half of the cube's exterior was crystal!

However, according to the texts Connor had seen, the Crystal Sealing Technique was merely covering the surface of an object with a layer of crystal. The cube-shaped crystal that appeared before him now seemed a bit too exaggerated if it was truly formed by the Crystal Sealing Technique, after all, it was a cube with sides measuring one meter! Even if only the outer half was crystal, it would still be quite heavy!

Besides the clues found on the cube crystal, another piece of evidence that the cube crystal was formed by the "Crystal Sealing Technique" is the letter in the ruby ​​space ring that was pressed under the cube crystal. According to the description in the book, the main purpose of the Crystal Sealing Technique is to preserve the lineage of wizard families!

What is a wizarding family? Since it's called a family, it must be related by blood, right? What kind of family is it if there's no blood relation? Doesn't this just coincide with the Byzantine word for "blood" on that letter?

If we look at it this way, the word "blood" on the letter can be explained. As for the other Byzantine word "soul" on the letter, Connor doesn't have a clue yet, but if we follow the current line of thought, to unlock this square crystal and get what Stip Ferguson left behind, we need Ferguson's bloodline on one hand, and on the other hand, it seems to be related to the soul!

Thinking this, Connor's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He put the cube crystal back into his spatial ring, straightened his clothes, made a simple disguise, and then walked out of the safe house. Although the magic backlash injury on his body was not completely healed, it was under control. The recovery of the remaining injuries was a slow and gradual process. It was impossible to be cured all at once. As long as Connor did not fight with anyone, there would be no problem and the injuries would not recur!

Connor was eager to find out what Stip Ferguson, the ancestor of the Ferguson family, left for him, a descendant of the Ferguson family, inside this cube-shaped crystal, and whether it could be related to that matter...

Although the texts that recorded the "Crystal Sealing Technique" did not explain how to activate it, Connor, having deduced that it was related to bloodline and soul, already had some ideas as an alchemist on how to activate the cube crystal. Now, it was undoubtedly time to put those ideas into practice. Connor wanted to return to his Ferguson apartment at 16 Land Street to retrieve the alchemical tools needed to activate the "Crystal Sealing Technique," and then go to the safe house on Ramsey Street in the North End, a place known only to him, to practice.

Connor's execution ability has always been commendable; he does what he thinks of. In just half an hour, Connor was back on Rand Street in the East End. Just as Connor was about to sneak back through the back door of his apartment, he suddenly discovered something: the trash cans on the street where his Ferguson apartment was located seemed to have been tampered with.

A playful smile appeared on Connor's lips. He felt like he'd run into trouble again! There seemed to be a sensor in the trash can, and its range appeared to be his Ferguson apartment.

The person who placed the sensor in the trash can was undoubtedly a wizard. And since he was a wizard, as long as he wasn't stupid, he should know that in the city of Rune, perhaps other places didn't have Storm Eyes placed by the Church of Storms to monitor energy fluctuations due to cost issues, but in a wealthy area like the East District of Rune, every street was covered by Storm Eyes. So, if he still dared to play tricks in the trash can, it's clear that the person who placed the sensor was very confident in his methods.

Thinking of this, Connor's face turned somewhat self-deprecating. The Kararov couple's crisis had just been resolved, and now, just a few days later, he was being targeted again. He just didn't know what the people who put the sensors in the trash cans were after.

Connor shook his head, then took out a blue pebble that looked like a pebble from his spatial ring. He observed it for a moment on the street, then threw the pebble into a hidden corner. As soon as the blue pebble landed, the sensor in the trash can was immediately interfered with and stopped working.

Although he didn't know who made the sensor, Connor could tell from the fluctuations it emitted that the alchemist who made it wasn't as skilled as him. The sensor could barely evade the Eye of the Storm's inspection, but it was also easily interfered with and rendered useless!

Seeing that the sensor had stopped working, Connor smiled slightly and reappeared inside the apartment in a flash. Because he had found the sensor in a trash can on the street outside the apartment, the first thing Connor did when he got home was to thoroughly check his apartment to see if anyone had sneaked in.
