Wizard Earl

Chapter 61 Harvest

16 Land Street, East District, Rue.

Leaning back on the sofa, Connor Ferguson, his body wrapped in bandages, squinted and casually played with a pale purple ring on his hand with a faint smile on his face. On the desk beside him sat a pocket watch with a rather antique feel.

These two items were spoils he found on Charles!

After killing Charles, besides lamenting that man proposes, God disposes, Connor immediately tried to use the Soul-Seizing Technique recorded in the Abyss Secrets to examine Charles's memories. However, this Mr. Charles seemed to be a ruthless person as well, having set up countless restrictions in his own soul. To examine his memories, one had to break through and remove these restrictions. Moreover, any operational error during the process of removing these restrictions would cause Mr. Charles's head to explode like a bomb.

Fortunately, Connor possessed a powerful computing chip, and the Soul-Seizing Technique recorded in the Abyss Secret Art he cultivated was formidable. With the help of these two major aids, Connor quickly broke through a relatively easy portion of the restrictions on Charles's soul and obtained some of Charles's memory information.

Based on the chip's analysis of this memory information, Connor obtained several useful pieces of information.

Charles's official identity is that of the chairman of the Charles Foundation, which owns shares in dozens of companies. However, Charles is secretly a black market businessman who uses the companies he owns to launder illicit goods and collects high fees in the process.

Because the Second Rune was located within the traditional sphere of influence of the Storm Church, it did not form a large-scale black market. However, there were many small-scale black markets. What surprised Connor the most was that Charles clearly recorded a black market that was ostensibly disguised as the "Menxing Club" in his memory. Every once in a while, it would very secretly organize a gathering of wizards!

Furthermore, the part of Charles's memory information that he deciphered recorded the correct method for contacting the "Borussia Mönchengladbach Club"!

Third, Charles possesses two enchanted items: the Violet Ring, a level 2 enchanted item, and the Inspiration Pocket Watch, a level 1 enchanted item! The Violet Ring is the enchanted item Charles used to unleash his purple light shield during the intense battle, while the Inspiration Pocket Watch is an auxiliary enchanted item. This enchanted item can automatically warn others of their mental energy detection of you, but it has many limitations, such as needing a period of time to store energy after the warning and being unable to be used.

According to Connor's estimation, Charles was able to discover his trail thanks to the Inspiration Pocket Watch. The reason he didn't find him hiding behind the tombstone during the subsequent battle was probably because the Inspiration Pocket Watch entered a dormant period to store energy after issuing a warning.

Although there are still many questions about Charles Connor, breaking the vast majority of the remaining restrictions in his soul would undoubtedly be a difficult task. Even with the help of the auxiliary chip and soul-capturing technique, it would take Connor at least seven days to complete the task. Since a person's soul completely disappears 24 hours after death, breaking all the restrictions in the soul is undoubtedly a false proposition!

Realizing this, Connor decisively gave up, stopped dwelling on Charles's memories, carefully cleaned up the battlefield, erased his own traces, and then quietly fled into the distance.

Connor was quite satisfied with his acquisition of the violet ring and the Inspiration pocket watch. The energy in the Gwendellin Badge, given to him by his mentor Reyes, was almost exhausted. According to the chip's prediction, the Gwendellin Badge could only be used once more before it was destroyed.

Although both the Gwendelyn Badge and the Violet Ring are defensive level 2 enchanted items, they are quite different. The Gwendelyn Badge was an enchanted item made by Connor's mentor, Professor Reyes, when he was young. It is a non-recyclable, unfinished product with a limited number of uses.

The Violet Ring, on the other hand, is a reusable and permanent enchanted item. Although Charles has currently exhausted its energy, theoretically, if it falls into the hands of a wizard like Connor, as long as Connor can continuously provide it with a constant supply of magical power, the Violet Ring's purple light shield can be continuously cast.

Compared to the Violet Ring, the Inspiration Pocket Watch seemed somewhat useless to Connor. As a level one enchanted item, according to the auxiliary chip, it could only warn of mental energy detection within the range of intermediate apprentices. Therefore, it was more like an enchanted item specifically designed for mortals. Ordinary mortals couldn't manifest mental energy, so they were completely undetectable by a wizard's mental energy detection.

Connor is a wizard, and due to his psychic talent and cultivation of abyssal secret arts, although his current cultivation level hasn't reached the intermediate apprentice stage, his mental strength is very close to that level. The mental strength detection that the Inspiration Pocket Watch can warn of, Connor himself can detect; and mental strength detection that Connor can't detect, the Inspiration Pocket Watch can't warn of either.

"According to Charles's memories, there are still three days until the next gathering at the Mönchengladbach Club. It looks like I need to prepare properly!" Connor leaned back on the soft sofa, stroking his chin thoughtfully. Although killing Charles was not his intention, as a black market merchant who cleaned up filth, Charles was not a good person either. Killing him was no big deal.

Connor valued the Mönchengladbach Club highly, seeing it as an opportunity—a chance to further his entry into the wizarding world. However, the information he had gleaned from Charles's memories was almost entirely useless, except for the fact that the Mönchengladbach Club was a place where some hidden wizards regularly held private meetings and how to enter it. Therefore, while Connor was interested, he was also very cautious.

Heaven knows what kind of people gathered in the Mönchengladbach meeting place. Were they the real, ruthless, evil black wizards who killed without hesitation, or underground wizards struggling to survive in a group under the oppressive control of the Storm Church? Or perhaps both?

Therefore, given the uncertainty surrounding the Mönchengladbach club meeting and out of concern for his personal safety, Connor felt it necessary to make some precautionary preparations if he were to attend the meeting three days later.
