Wizard Earl

Chapter 725 Meeting (1)

Connor nodded and said, "That's right, it's a long story. A hapless high-ranking wizard apprentice died at my hands. I found clues to a magic stone mine among his belongings, and that's how I got to Tunguska and found it!"

After saying that, Connor took out the spatial ring from his pocket, which he used to store magic stone ore. With the release of Connor's mental power, tens of thousands of magic stone ore were taken out of the spatial ring and appeared in Varga's field of vision.

Varga, who had initially hesitated about Connor finding a magic stone mine, no longer had any doubts about what Connor had said after seeing the piles of magic stone ore that looked like small mountains.

"Valga, I promised Margaret I wouldn't reveal the existence and location of the magic stone mine. Today I've already broken that promise and told you about its existence. But I'm sorry, Valga, I can't tell you its location! Of course, Valga, I'm willing to share my profits from the magic stone mine with you!" Connor said very solemnly.

"Hmph, who wants your worthless stones? I'm an apothecary, why would I need your magic stones!" Varga glanced at the magic stones Connor had taken out, curled her lip, and said somewhat dismissively. However, although Varga appeared so, the unintentional look in her eyes revealed her delight, showing that she was quite satisfied with Connor's honesty.

After all, wealth can be a powerful motivator, and the value of a magic stone mine is so great that it could turn most wizard couples against each other. The fact that Connor was willing to tell her about the existence of the magic stone mine shows how much he trusts her.

"Since you didn't tell me about what happened here because of your agreement with Margaret, Connor, why did you suddenly decide to tell me after you went out for a walk? Did you go out to discuss something with that woman, Margaret?" As if she had thought of something, Varga's eyes flickered, and she walked up to Connor, speaking with great caution:

Margaret's words immediately made Connor chuckle. He reached out and ruffled Varga's hair, then whispered in her ear, "Margaret is still in Rune City. She has things to do there. How could she possibly be here in Tunguska? The reason I broke my promise to Margaret and told Varga about the existence of the magic stone mine was to prevent you from overthinking!"

Hearing Connor's explanation, Varga's alluring red lips pouted slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but her mouth was immediately sealed shut by Connor's large lips...

After a chaotic and tumultuous battle, watching Varga's hurried departure, Connor, lying on the bed, smiled faintly. He then wiped the lipstick Varga had left on his face during the intense fight.

A few minutes later, Connor, having finished reminiscing, straightened his clothes, and his expression gradually became serious. If everything went smoothly, he would abstain from sex for the next week or so, stop his QR with Varga, and make all the necessary preparations to adjust his state in preparation for a breakthrough.

Of course, before that, Connor had another very important thing to do, which was to refine all the tens of thousands of raw magic stones he had just taken out of the magic stone mine. A few days ago, knowing that there was a huge amount of raw magic stones in the magic stone mine, Connor gave Margaret all the magic stones he had accumulated to help him break through.

As for Connor's spatial ring, there are less than a hundred magic stones left. Fortunately, he successfully retrieved the batch of magic stone ore from the ground. Connor will only need two days at most to transform this batch of impurity-filled magic stone ore into magic stones suitable for normal cultivation.

As Connor began adjusting his physical condition and refining the magic stone to make final preparations for breaking through to become a formal wizard, a hundred miles away in the western suburbs of Rune, the goatee-bearded old man who had once fished with old Victor at the Pinsolio Manor outside Rune was quietly making his way.

At this moment, the old man with the goatee concealed his figure entirely within his gray robe. In the cold wind of the night, only his very prominent goatee could be vaguely seen. After walking for more than ten minutes, the old man with the goatee silently slipped into a seemingly abandoned country villa.

After entering the villa, the goatee-bearded old man was not in a hurry to make any further moves. Instead, he carefully inspected the villa and, after finding nothing suspicious, he felt relieved. He nodded slightly and went to the bedroom, then gently pointed at the wardrobe in the bedroom. A white wind blade quickly condensed in the air and shot out, hitting the dressing mirror on the wardrobe.

The mirror struck by the wind blade did not shatter instantly. Instead, it emitted a faint white light, engulfing the wind blade unleashed by the goatee-bearded elder. After a few seconds, the mirror began to change, its white light becoming increasingly solid. A few seconds later, it transformed into a hidden white door. Upon seeing this door, the goatee-bearded elder did not hesitate and pushed it open, stepping inside!

As the goatee-bearded old man entered the hidden door, the white light on the door dissipated, and a few seconds later it returned to its original appearance as a mirror, unchanged from before.

The secret room the goatee-bearded old man entered was not large, only about ten square meters in size. The walls of the room were gray and undecorated, looking no different from ordinary cement walls. There was basically nothing in the room except for a black and white vase placed in the very center. Although the vase looked perfectly fine and was no different from the industrial products sold in the Rune market for ten pence each.

However, considering the environment of the locked room, the appearance of this black and white vase seems both abrupt and eerie, sending a chill down one's spine...

Upon entering the secret chamber, the goatee-bearded elder immediately focused his murky gaze on the strange vase. After staring at the vase for a full minute, the elder's expression changed, and he shook his head slightly in resignation before taking out a bright red pill from his pocket.
