Wizard Earl

Chapter 642 Plan (2)

If Connor adopts the first method, he certainly won't be able to utilize the pure energy within the Heart of Seta to its maximum extent, unlike the four high-ranking wizard apprentices of the Celta Cult. Connor estimates that if he uses this method, he can probably only utilize about 50% of the pure energy within the Heart of Seta, with the remaining 50% being wasted. This is the most optimistic scenario; in reality, Connor thinks he can only utilize about 30% to 40%.

The second option was for Connor to return to his identity as an alchemist and use the Heart of Seta as the main material, along with several other precious materials, to create an enchanted item. Judging from the pure energy within the Heart of Seta, if Connor planned carefully, he could completely refine it into his second top-tier second-order enchanted item. However, this plan only flashed through Connor's mind before he rejected it.

Having another top-tier second-order enchanted item seems like a good choice, but in reality, it would be rather useless for Connor. First of all, crafting a top-tier second-order enchanted item is still a difficult and massive undertaking for Connor at his current level. It's not a simple matter. He needs to design, prepare materials, simulate crafting in the auxiliary chip, and so on. This whole process would take at least half a year. For Connor right now, breaking through to become an advanced wizard apprentice is the most important thing, and he doesn't want to wait any longer.

Secondly, although Connor has reached the pinnacle of advanced wizard apprenticeship in all aspects and is only one step away from becoming a full-fledged wizard, he is not a full-fledged wizard after all. His magical power cannot support him to use two top-tier second-order enchanted items at the same time. Therefore, the second top-tier second-order enchanted item is meaningless to Connor. This is the fundamental reason why Connor does not choose to craft such powerful top-tier second-order enchanted items, even though his alchemy skills are fully capable of supporting the crafting.

Instead of wasting so many precious materials now to refine top-tier second-order enchanted items and getting caught up in the happy dilemma of only being able to use one of the Castia Staffs, Connor felt it would be more worthwhile to accumulate materials until he became a formal wizard and try to refine even more powerful third-order enchanted items.

The third and final point, and the most important reason Connor rejected the plan, is the difference in cultivation attributes, just like the first point! Connor cultivates dark attribute energy and spiritual attribute energy, while the fire attribute treasure of the Heart of Seta already determines that if Connor chooses to use it as the main ingredient to refine a top-tier second-order enchanted item, then no matter what kind of enchanted item Connor chooses to refine, what kind of refining method he adopts, or what precious auxiliary materials he adds, he cannot change the fact that the refined enchanted item will be a fire attribute enchanted item. Connor can use it, but he will never be able to unleash the maximum power of this enchanted item.

Connor would never do something so frustrating: he would spend a lot of time and effort, waste countless materials, and even use the Heart of Seta, a top-tier treasure, only to find that the resulting enchanted item could not unleash its full potential.

Compared to the previous two options, Connor's third option was much simpler. Since the Heart of Seta, a fire-attribute treasure, was unsuitable for cultivating dark and spiritual energy, there was no need for him to use it. Connor could take the Heart of Seta to the black market and exchange it with fire-attribute wizards. Any advanced fire-attribute wizard apprentice would be willing to exchange their entire fortune for a treasure like the Heart of Seta that could help a fire-attribute wizard break through to become a full-fledged wizard!

However, there is a saying: "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!"

For the sake of the Heart of Seta, four high-ranking Celta Vision wizard apprentices have already died at Connor's hands. Putting aside the fact that if Connor were to put the Heart of Seta on the black market, the Celta Vision, having gotten wind of it, wouldn't come knocking on his door, just the fact that Connor dared to reveal that the Heart of Seta was in his possession would be tantamount to putting himself in the eye of the storm, in a perilous situation. At any moment, high-ranking fire-attribute wizard apprentices would come seeking information and risk everything to steal the Heart of Seta. No matter how strong Connor was, how many could he kill?

Furthermore, Connor himself was unwilling to simply exchange the Heart of Seta. Unless he received something that could help him become a full-fledged wizard, Connor felt he had lost out. He had a feeling that the Heart of Seta was not as simple as he imagined. The fact that this treasure was valued so highly by the Celtic Church and Stip Ferguson, the high-ranking wizard apprentice ancestor of the Ferguson family, meant it was more than just possessing pure fire energy. There must be some hidden secrets behind the Heart of Seta that he didn't know about!

These three usage plans are the only methods Connor can think of based on his current understanding of the Heart of Seta. However, Connor believes that using the Heart of Seta in any of these three ways would be a huge waste and would not bring out its true potential.

Holding the Heart of Seta in his hand, still unable to come up with a good solution, Connor's eyes showed a hint of helplessness. He took out a jade box from his spatial ring and put the Heart of Seta inside. In any case, being able to retrieve the Heart of Seta from the crystal seal and put it in his pocket was something to be happy about. As for how to use the Heart of Seta, Connor felt that he still needed to plan carefully and study it thoroughly, and could not rush it!

Connor placed the jade box containing the Heart of Seta into his spatial ring, took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was already 5:40 PM. Connor nodded slightly, then put on a simple disguise and walked out of the safe house on Ramsey Street.

At 5:40, Connor, dressed in a black robe, appeared at a villa on the outskirts of Rune. He entered the villa, scanned it, and, finding nothing amiss, sat down comfortably on the sofa in the living room. According to the official version of the villa's ownership under imperial law, the owner was named Obushina, the daughter of a farmer, thirty-three years old and divorced, currently residing in Bernau, the capital of the Kaman Empire. This villa was the old house left to her deceased father.
