Wizard Earl

Chapter 731 Luke Shaw, the blond young man (1)

Feeling this wondrous moment, a faint smile appeared on Connor's angular face. The next second, a wisp of black energy appeared on Connor's body, and then every pore on Connor's body became like a small vortex, frantically absorbing the energy brought to him by the surrounding "Magic Stone Energy Gathering Array".

With the blessing of so much pure energy, the magic crystal that was slowly forming in Connor's divine sea suddenly seemed to be accelerated, and it lit up with a brilliant black light.

"boom!"

A dozen seconds later, as Connor expected, a huge roar resounded in his mind. With the appearance of this roar, the black light emanating from the prototype of the magic crystal gradually subsided. A magic crystal that was entirely black and mixed with some silver light spots was completely formed in Connor's mind!

The successful condensation of the magic crystal signifies that Connor has truly achieved a leap forward, growing from a senior wizard apprentice to a first-level wizard! At the same time, Connor's magical power and mental strength instantly leaped a huge step, increasing nearly tenfold!

Closing his eyes and feeling the power of a first-level wizard within him, Connor's mind replayed scenes from his time in this world like a movie: his first stop in this extraordinary world, Ferguson Apartments; killing Rebecca and Vidal, the adulterous couple, to escape into the wizarding world; joining the Secret Society and becoming Reyes's student; befriending Margaret and Varga, his two confidantes; his battles of wits with old Victor... and so on.

After a long while, Connor, having finished reminiscing, shook his head slightly and opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed in his black pupils. Having walked so many roads, endured so much suffering, and killed so many people, he, Connor Ferguson, had finally reached this point!

Whatever schemes or tricks Reyes might have up his sleeve, Connor Ferguson will face them head-on!

In the evening, on a street in the northern suburbs of Ruen, a travel-worn, thin, handsome blond young man carrying a suitcase walked into a small hotel in the community with a sign that read "Kevin's Hotel".

At the front desk of the Kevin Hotel, the short, stout middle-aged manager, who was doing the accounts, immediately put down his ledger when he saw the blond young man arrive. He greeted him with a beaming smile and said, "Sir, I am Kevin Sosa, the manager of this Kevin Hotel. May I ask what you need? Our hotel provides both meals and accommodation!"

The blond young man looked around the hotel and, while not the best place, found it clean and tidy. He nodded slightly and asked, "How much does your accommodation cost?"

"Sir, our hotel offers three types of rooms. The first-class rooms cost ten pence per night and include a separate fireplace, a large bed, a living room, and a bathroom. We also provide three meals a day and seasonal fruits free of charge."

"The second-class room costs five pence per night, and has only one bedroom and one toilet (no shower). Our hotel provides two meals free of charge."

"The third-tier rooms cost one penny per day; it's basically a dormitory room with no private bathroom. Meals are extra! The deposit for the first-tier rooms is two shillings, the deposit for the second-tier rooms is one shilling, and the third-tier rooms don't require a deposit. Your deposit will be refunded when you check out and return the keys!" The short, stout middle-aged manager, Kevin Souza, explained to the blond young man before him.

After listening to the hotel manager's explanation, the blond young man hesitated for a moment, then took out three one-shilling bills and a penny coin from his pocket, handed them to the manager, and said, "I'll stay in the second-class room for five days!"

Upon hearing that the blond young man was only staying in the second-tier room, the short, stout middle-aged manager's smile immediately faded. He had initially thought the blond young man, dressed in fairly high-class clothes, would be a wealthy patron, but he was quite disappointed to find that he was only staying in the second-tier room.

A disappointed Kevin Sosa took the money for the five days' accommodation from the blond young man and then said to him, "Sir, according to Article 13 of the 'Kaman Empire Hotel and Inn Management Regulations' newly issued by the Imperial Ministry of Justice last March, all guests staying at hotels must present their resident ID cards for registration, so you see...?"

Upon hearing what the hotel manager said, the blond young man frowned slightly in surprise, but he did not refuse the other party's request. He opened the bag he was carrying, took out his resident ID card, and handed it to Kevin Sosa.

Kevin Souza glanced at the resident card the blond young man handed him, then wrote down the card number in the register with his pen. Pointing to a blank space on the register with his thick finger to confirm the passenger's location, he said to the blond young man, using the name on the card, "Hello Mr. Luke Shaw, if your resident number is correct, please sign here!" With that, Kevin Souza handed the blond young man his pen.

Luke Shaw, the blond young man, glanced at the registration book handed to him by the short, stout middle-aged manager, took the pen offered to him, and signed his name in the registration book.

After Luke Shaw finished signing, Kevin Souza put his pen away and closed the register. Then, as if remembering something, he said to the blond young man before him, "Sir, it's best to keep your valuables with you at all times. The hotel is not responsible for any losses!"

Luke Shaw nodded dismissively at the manager's instructions, and only then did Kevin Souza lead the blond young man to a room on the second floor of the hotel.

"Mr. Luke Shaw, this is your room. By the way, would you like to come downstairs for your meals or should we bring them up to you?" Hotel manager Kevin Souza said as he handed the room key to the blond young man, Luke Shaw.

"Don't bother, I'll go downstairs to eat!" Luke Shaw said, looking somewhat tired.

Seeing Luke Shaw's tired appearance, Kevin Souza, the middle-aged, overweight man, very tactfully said, "Have a pleasant stay, sir!" and then left the room.

As Kevin Sousa's footsteps faded into the distance, the weariness that had just appeared on the blond young man Luke Shaw's face vanished instantly...
