Wizard Earl

Chapter 600 Methods

If Varga's information about the demonized knights was correct, and there were indeed only seven of them, then Connor was certain that the one who shot him in the back was not one of the remaining two demonized knights. One of the remaining two was the short, stout demonized knight who had been staking out the station near Ferguson's apartment during the day, and the other was the blue-clad demonized knight who planned to drive a carriage into Ferguson's apartment at night. Connor had seen both of them, and he was absolutely certain that the one who shot him was not one of those two demonized knights!

Regarding the person who shot the arrow, although Connor's mental energy did not find any trace of him in the swamp, it did not mean that Connor gained nothing. At least when Connor searched with his mental energy, he did not find the unique aura of the demonized knight. Moreover, this person should be extremely skilled in the art of concealment, or have a demonized item with particularly strong concealment ability. Otherwise, with the strength of Connor's mental energy, he should have been able to find him.

Thinking about this, Connor couldn't help but wonder if the guy who shot him in the back was a demonized knight. After all, even a demonized knight as strong as Tusam was detected by Connor the moment he appeared within his mental range, but Connor hadn't found a trace of the person who shot him in the back!

If the one who shot the arrow wasn't a demonized knight, then who could it be? Connor wondered to himself.

Just as Connor was lost in thought, a clear, cold female voice belonging to the auxiliary chip suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding! The analysis of the Crystal Sealing Technique by the auxiliary chip is complete, and the details are being transmitted to the main body's mind!"

After the auxiliary chip finished speaking, Connor felt a large amount of information being transmitted into his mind. He closed his eyes and began to read the auxiliary chip's analysis of the Crystal Sealing Technique.

A full hour later, Connor finally finished reading the information and opened his eyes again. However, Connor's expression was very heavy and not good. Regarding the analysis of the Crystal Seal Technique, even before handing it over to the auxiliary chip for analysis, Connor had already had a premonition that, from a technical point of view, the Crystal Seal Technique, a special sealing technique, could leave him with very few exploitable loopholes. After all, if the loopholes were obvious, Connor wouldn't have tried countless methods and still been unable to open the second layer of the Crystal Seal Technique—that damned crystal ball—and take away the "Heart of Seta" hidden inside!

However, Connor never expected that the Crystal Sealing Technique was so perfectly constructed from a technical point of view. According to the analysis transmitted from the auxiliary chip, he seemed to have no chance against the Crystal Sealing Technique.

"Can the auxiliary chip find the weaknesses or loopholes in the Crystal Sealing Technique?" After thinking for a while, Connor, with a heavy heart, decided to leave this problem to the auxiliary chip.

"Beep! Following the main body's instructions, the auxiliary chip is calculating... Based on the main body's current database reserves, the possibility of a vulnerability in the Crystal Sealing Technique is 19%!" The auxiliary chip's cold female voice rang in Connor's mind again.

"Ten-nine percent?" Connor silently recited the number in his mind, and a glint gradually appeared in his eyes. Nineteen percent, rounded up, is one twenty-fifth. Judging from this data, although the possibility of a loophole in the Crystal Sealing Technique is very small, it doesn't seem to be entirely impossible!

"I order you to do everything in your power to find any loopholes in the Crystal Sealing Technique!" Connor said firmly, his voice deep. The Heart of Seta, sealed by the Crystal Sealing Technique, was crucial for his breakthrough to become a high-level wizard apprentice. He, Connor Ferguson, had to obtain it. If he couldn't make any breakthrough progress from the auxiliary chip, Connor would have to take another path!

To break the crystal seal, isn't it necessary to use the souls and blood of the Ferguson family?

Connor could easily find someone with wizarding talent within the Ferguson family, train them to become a wizard, and then have them retrieve the Heart of Seta hidden within the crystal seal. This would allow him to break the seal normally. However, Connor wouldn't do this unless absolutely necessary, as it's far too troublesome. Furthermore, given the scarcity of wizarding talent, the probability of any of the hundred or so members of the Ferguson family possessing the potential to become a wizard is not very high.

"Hello sir, what would you like to drink?"

Inside the "Earl's Bar" at 47 Land Street, a polite, blond-haired, blue-eyed young waiter approached a red-haired middle-aged man in a white robe who entered the bar and sat in a secluded spot, smiling as he asked:

"Give me a glass of rose tears."

The red-haired middle-aged man glanced at the smiling waiter, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke. After speaking, he took out a one-gold pound note from his wallet and threw it on the table, adding, "The rest of the money is your tip!"

The red-haired middle-aged man's seemingly generous gesture immediately drew a hint of disdain in the eyes of the young waiter in front of him. Rose Tears was only considered a mid-range cocktail in the luxurious Earl's Bar, priced at just nineteen shillings and ten pence, only two pence short of the one pound the red-haired man was paying. Two pence might be enough to buy a black bread and fill one's stomach elsewhere, but here it was nothing!

Although he was quite disdainful of the red-haired middle-aged man, the excellent business training at Earl's Bar allowed the young blond waiter to suppress his contempt. He smiled, picked up the banknotes from the table, and said to the red-haired man, "Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go and inform the bartender to make you a drink!" After saying that, the young waiter smiled politely again and then turned and left.

Watching the departing waiter, the red-haired middle-aged man in a white robe shrugged slightly, looking both amused and exasperated, unnoticed by anyone.

Looking at the scenery outside the glass window of the bar next to him, Connor's eyes became serious. The reason he dressed up like this today, wearing a white robe and disguising himself as a red-haired middle-aged man, and came to the "Earl's Bar" not far from his apartment was to observe and see if those demonized knights were still hiding in the vicinity, continuing to keep watch on Ferguson's apartment as before.
