Wizard Earl

Chapter 622 The Truth

"No need for Earl Ferguson to ask everyone one by one. I can't withstand your methods, Your Excellency. I surrender and will tell you everything. We came here on Tusam's orders. He told us to find something called the Purifying Potion!"

"If we can't find the Purifying Potion, take all the potions in this house, then leave the city tonight and arrive at Kevin Town, not far from Rune, before 8:00 AM tomorrow. Tusam will be waiting for us there. I know nothing else. Tusam is a very cautious person; he never tells us things he shouldn't know, nor does he allow us to ask him!"

Matthews's surrender was so complete that it surprised Connor somewhat. He glanced at Matthews, but having nothing more to ask, he released another mental shock on Matthews. Under the effect of the mental shock, Matthews, who had just woken up from his coma, immediately fell into a coma again. At this moment, Connor's large hand rested on Matthews's head without any hesitation, and he began to use his soul-capturing technique.

Matthews' account has given Connor enough reason to suspect that Varga's disappearance was the work of the demonized knight Tusam. As for why Tusam did this and what his purpose was, Connor already has a vague answer from Matthews' account.

Tusam sent Matthews and Charles to Varga's residence to find the purifying potion, and instructed them to keep their movements as secret as possible, especially to avoid alerting the Secret Society. This indicated that Tusam did not want old Victor to know about this matter. Although Connor did not know what the purifying potion Tusam was looking for was, he knew that the only connection between Varga and Tusam was that it was an anti-magic potion that could help demonized knights fight against the demonization of their bodies.

Therefore, Connor has reason to speculate that there must be a connection between Tusam's target, the energy purification potion and the anti-magic potion. Moreover, Tusam was seen near Dr. Ivanka's private hospital during the period when Varga disappeared. Therefore, Tusam had the ability, the time, and the intention to cause Varga's disappearance!

Based on the information currently available, Connor is almost certain that there must be a connection between Varga's disappearance and Tusam, or rather, Varga's disappearance is because of Tusam! What Connor needs to do now is use his Mind Control to confirm whether the information Matthews told him is true or false!

Under Connor's careful manipulation, his mental power gradually and skillfully broke through Matthews's divine sea defenses, successfully invading Matthews's divine sea.

Just as Connor had suspected, Matthews's psychic sea, like his companion Charles's, was also protected by the same self-destruction restriction. However, having learned from Charles's previous experience of psychic sea self-destruction, Connor was extremely careful and skillful in using the Soul-Seizing Technique this time, and did not trigger the self-destruction restriction in Matthews's psychic sea.

Although he had broken through Matthews's divine sea, Connor's expression remained far from relaxed. He knew the most difficult hurdle was yet to be overcome. While he had now invaded Matthews's divine sea, this self-destruction restriction was no simple matter. Even if Connor used his Soul-Seizing Technique, the slightest movement within Matthews's divine sea would still trigger the restriction, causing Matthews's head to explode into a rotten watermelon.

Although the self-destruction restriction was right in front of him, Connor did not rush to break it because he only had one chance. Instead, he observed for more than ten minutes before deciding to make his move. In Matthews's mind, Connor's mental power, like silver threads, precisely severed the connection between the self-destruction restriction and Matthews's mind.

After seven or eight minutes of suspenseful work, Connor finally relaxed, a look of relief on his face. He rested briefly to recover, then unleashed his full mental power to attack the self-destruction barrier. Because all connections with Matthews's inner sea had been severed by Connor's mental power, the self-destruction barrier was like a small boat in a turbulent sea—it struggled a few times before being completely destroyed by Connor's powerful mental force, without causing the slightest ripple!

With the self-destruction restriction removed from Matthews's sea of ​​consciousness, it was like a naked girl exposed to Connor's eyes, utterly powerless to resist. Connor could do whatever he wanted with it. In just a few minutes, Connor had gleaned anything he wanted to know from Matthews's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Tusam, you bastard..." Connor said in a low voice, his large hand removed from Matthews' head, the mind control spell ending. His tone was filled with murderous intent, and his eyes were full of malice. If Tusam were to appear in front of Connor now, Connor was sure he would not let Tusam die too easily. He would make Tusam suffer every kind of torture in the world before dying in agony.

With the aid of the mind-controlling technique, Connor confirmed that Matthews was relatively honest. His confession under Connor's interrogation was entirely truthful; he hadn't deceived Connor or concealed anything from Tusam. Therefore, Varga's disappearance must be inextricably linked to Tusam.

Although he secretly wished he could tear Tusam to pieces, Connor's anxiety about Varga eased slightly after learning that Tusam's goal was the Purifying Potion. Tusam's aim was the Purifying Potion, not to kill Varga, so he would have some reservations when facing her and wouldn't actually kill her. After all, a dead Varga was of no value to Tusam, and without the Soul Reaper's ability, Tusam couldn't obtain any information from a dead person!

Moreover, Varga is quite strong, and Tusam, who has reservations, may not be able to capture her alive. So even in the worst-case scenario where Varga falls into Tusam's hands, as long as Varga doesn't reveal any information about the Pure Energy Potion to Tusam, she will be safe and in no danger. As long as Connor arrives in Kevin Town at 8:00 AM tomorrow to wait for Tusam to come and join Matthews and Charles, Varga's safety will be guaranteed.

After glancing at the corpses of Matthews and Charles, and seeing that Matthews hadn't lied and Connor wasn't torturing him, he simply waved his hand, releasing a black aura that instantly reduced both Matthews and Charles's bodies to ashes...
