Wizard Earl

Since this man in black robes feels much stronger than a senior wizard apprentice, what is the realm above a senior wizard apprentice?

A bitter look flashed in Arbeloa's eyes as he realized what was going on. He didn't know how he, who was usually so cautious and dared not reveal his identity as a wizard, had summoned this evil star in front of him!

After savoring the rich aroma of the Romano Conti, the young man in the black robe, Connor Ferguson, looked at Arbeloa, who appeared slightly nervous, with amusement. From the moment Arbeloa left work at 75 Oronia Avenue, at the Ferguson Minerals Distribution Company headquarters, Connor Ferguson, who had come to investigate Arbeloa, had been secretly following him. After observing Arbeloa for a period of time and forming a basic assessment, Connor decided to reveal himself and speak with Arbeloa.

"I enjoy listening to stories, Mr. Arbeloa. If you don't mind, why not tell me how you became a wizard, came to the Ferguson family, and became the general manager of the Ferguson Minerals Distribution Company? I'd love to hear your story!" Looking at Arbeloa, Connor broke the silence between them, speaking seemingly casually.

Upon hearing the man who had suddenly appeared state his name and identity, Arbeloa's heart sank. He realized that the man in black robes had come to find him, and he no longer harbored any illusions that the man in black robes had come to the wrong person or the wrong place.

Although the man in black robes had been very polite since his appearance, the unquestionable tone in his words was very obvious. Coupled with his assessment of the man's strength, all of this made Abeloa dare not refuse the young man in black robes' request.

While pondering the purpose of the questions asked, Arbeloa cleared his throat and began to speak: "As you know, my name is Arbeloa. I was born in the small town of Camara, near Frosinone. My father was the manager of a farm in town, and my mother was a full-time housewife. My journey to becoming a wizard began when I was nineteen and was admitted to Duhail University."

"I studied economics at Duhail University, but because my first girlfriend at the time was studying music there, I would go to the library to read some music books in order to have something in common with her."

"Perhaps I was lucky. One afternoon, quite by chance, I found a very old music book called 'Five Strings' in the library of Duhail University. In this music book, I found a hidden compartment, and inside the compartment was a booklet written in ancient Byzantine. At the time, I didn't know Byzantine, nor did I know that the booklet was a wizard's meditation method. I just discovered that the text on the booklet was written in ancient Byzantine and might be very valuable, so I wanted to find out what was written on the booklet."

"From then on, I began studying Byzantine at Duhail University. After three months, my Byzantine had improved significantly, and I realized that the booklet contained wizard meditation techniques. Out of curiosity about wizards, I began to practice according to the instructions in it, and that's how I embarked on the path of a wizard!"

At this point, Arbeloa looked at Connor Ferguson. Sensing Arbeloa's questioning gaze, Connor, who hadn't detected any lie in Arbeloa's words, flickered slightly before saying, "Mr. Arbeloa, could I borrow that meditation booklet you found in that music book?"

Upon seeing the black-robed man before him wanting to see his meditation method, Arbeloa, as a wizard, instinctively wanted to refuse this impolite request. However, reason ultimately prevailed. Arbeloa remained silent for a while before walking to the bookshelf in the room and gently pushing the top left book on the shelf. Immediately, the wooden floor of the room made a soft sound.

"Snapped!"

With that sound, a piece of the floorboard moved. Arbeloa immediately removed the movable floorboard, revealing a small rectangular pit underneath. In the pit lay a gold ring inlaid with an emerald. The gold ring looked no different from ordinary luxury jewelry, but Connor, as an alchemist, recognized it at a glance as a spatial ring!

Just as Arbeloa was about to pick up the spatial ring and take out the meditation method inside as ordered by the black-robed man, the spatial ring lying in the small pit suddenly seemed to grow wings and flew directly into the hand of Connor Ferguson, who was sitting in the chair.

Ignoring Arbeloa's thoughts, Connor Ferguson, having obtained Arbeloa's spatial ring, used his powerful mental energy to examine it directly through Arbeloa's mental imprint.

Arbeloa, who was initially shocked and angry that Connor had taken his ring, sensed Connor's immense spiritual power through the mental imprint he left on the spatial ring. He no longer doubted Connor's status as a formal wizard, and his initial shock and anger vanished, leaving only a deep fear of the mysterious black-robed wizard before him.

Five bottles of potions, a bank check from the Imperial Bank that could be cashed on demand, five hundred gold pounds in cash, a gilded dagger, twenty-seven magic stones... He carefully examined every item in the Arbeloa spatial ring with his mental energy, but found nothing suspicious. He then took out the only booklet in the Arbeloa spatial ring.

After quickly scanning the contents of the booklet, Connor understood that it was a basic meditation method called "Herrera Red Magic." The contents of this meditation method matched the energy fluctuations that Connor had observed Arbeloa had just practiced. If nothing unexpected happened, what Arbeloa said should be true; he was indeed practicing this meditation method called "Herrera Red Magic."

Nodding slightly, Connor put the booklet back into his spatial ring, then tossed the ring belonging to Arbeloa to him, and continued, "Tell me, Mr. Arbeloa, how did you come to the Ferguson family and become the general manager of the Ferguson Minerals Distribution Company?"
