Wizard Earl

Chapter 641 Plan (1)

Roberto's heart skipped a beat at the sound of old Victor's voice. He immediately stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, and said resolutely, "Butler Victor, although I am in charge of the hospital's security, my contact with Dr. Varga is purely professional; we have no personal relationship. Therefore, I don't know whether Dr. Varga has any connection with Connor Ferguson!"

"Very good! Go and get to work!"

Roberto finished speaking and old Victor remained silent for a full ten seconds. However, just as Roberto stood there, unsure whether to stay or leave, hesitating about whether to offer further explanation, old Victor suddenly spoke again:

Roberto's reply immediately put his mind at ease, as if facing a formidable enemy. He turned around and bowed to old Victor again before continuing on his way.

Watching Roberto's disappearing figure, old Victor, standing there with his hunched back, had a glint of brilliance in his cloudy eyes.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

In the bottomless basement of the safe house on Runramsey Street, Connor sat cross-legged on the ground. A meter in front of him, a huge crystal ball floated in mid-air, not only flashing a dazzling red light but also emitting a sound like a heartbeat, as if something was about to burst out of the crystal ball.

Gazing at the red figure suspended in the crystal ball, Connor's expression was one of intense excitement, yet the incantations he chanted and the hand gestures he made remained methodical and without any sign of panic.

Two days ago, Connor's auxiliary chip once again proved its worth, finding a loophole in the Crystal Seal Technique with only a 19% chance of success. Most importantly, this loophole is something Connor can fully exploit with his current abilities.

Upon discovering this, Connor was overjoyed. After two days of careful preparation, Connor finally began the operation to extract the Heart of Seta from the current crystal seal.

As Connor cast his spell, the banging sounds from the crystal ball grew more rapid and intense. Finally, with a blue incantation from Connor, the banging stopped abruptly, replaced by the sound of crystal shattering.

As he watched the crystal on the crystal ball shatter and fall away, Connor stopped casting his spell. A clear smile appeared on his face, a smile that was usually hard to read. This Heart of Seta, the fiery gem that could help a high-level wizard apprentice become a full wizard, had been in his hands for so long. Connor Ferguson was finally going to see it for himself!

The crystal ball, now free of its seal, didn't keep Connor waiting long; within a dozen seconds, it shattered on the ground, exposing the Heart of Seta to Connor's view.

Gazing at the pure, fiery gem, the Heart of Seta, suspended in mid-air like a leaping flame, and sensing the rapid rise of fire-attribute energy particles in the basement after the Heart of Seta was exposed from the crystal ball, Connor's eyes gleamed with a hint of regret amidst his ecstatic joy…

Connor raised his hand, and the Heart of Seta, which had been suspended in mid-air, obediently landed in his hand. He carefully examined and observed the Heart of Seta for a while. While he was shocked by the purity of the fire attribute energy in the Heart of Seta, the regret in Connor's eyes grew stronger and stronger.

Because of the Heart of Seta, Connor Ferguson encountered four high-ranking Celtic wizarding apprentices: Lindelof, Alex Sandro, Wanda, and Perrin. Although all four died at Connor's hands, he only used his Soul Reaper on Perrin and Alex Sandro. In their memories, Connor discovered the secret behind their relentless search for the Heart of Seta: it allowed high-ranking wizarding apprentices to break through and become full-fledged wizards!

However, there is one crucial piece of information that neither Perrin nor Sandro's memories record: how the Heart of Seta enabled advanced wizard apprentices to become full wizards! This information is extremely important. Not knowing this is like having a treasure trove containing ten thousand riches, but lacking the key—a truly awkward situation!

Connor had considered this question several months ago, before he had broken the crystal seal and retrieved the Heart of Seta from the crystal ball as he was doing now. Although he didn't know why neither Perrin nor Alex Sandro knew how to use the Heart of Seta—because it was still sealed by the crystal seal and they hadn't truly obtained it—he still held onto a sliver of hope that once he got his hands on the Heart of Seta, his knowledge of alchemy and his understanding of enchanted items would allow him to figure out how to use it.

In retrospect, Connor's thoughts over the past few months were correct. After observing the Heart of Seta for a while, his experience and knowledge provided him with several ways to use it. He also vaguely guessed why neither Alex Sandro nor Perrin knew how to use the Heart of Seta…

The answer to the question is—no need!

Yes! Neither Alex Sandro nor Perrin, nor Wanda nor Lindelof, who were not subjected to Connor's Soul Reaper spell, needed to know how to use the Heart of Seta. All four belonged to the Celta Cult, which worshipped the fire god Celta, and all four were advanced wizard apprentices who cultivated fire-attribute energy!

For the four of them, the Heart of Seta was a treasure trove of pure fire energy. They didn't need to make any other preparations; they only needed to absorb the pure fire energy within the Heart of Seta to have a 50% chance of breaking through to become formal wizards!

Connor's first option for using the Heart of Seta was also to absorb its pure energy. However, unfortunately, because Connor cultivated mental power and dark attribute energy, he could not directly absorb the pure fire attribute energy of the Seta religion. Although he could convert the pure energy in the Heart of Seta into dark attribute energy or mental energy through some arrays or other means, there would inevitably be unnecessary consumption and waste in the conversion process.
