Connor sighed inwardly. Seeing that Dezerby had already been recuperating for a while and could wake up at any time, Connor didn't dare to delay and started moving again. He took out a peculiar bone pen from his spatial ring that seemed to be refined from the bone of a magic beast and started writing in the air.
As the bone pen was waved, the air was immediately filled with an indiscernible ripple of energy. After a dozen seconds, Connor finished writing and his expression finally began to relax. After that, he took out a colorful crystal ball from his Space Ring and placed it on the ground. As the crystal ball came into contact with the wooden hut's floor, a thick layer of greyish-white fog immediately rose from the wooden hut's space.
Connor, who was inside the ashen white fog, leisurely raised his head and looked at the cloud of water vapor above his head, a strange smile once again appearing on his face.
Discovering this cloud of water vapor meant that Connor had solved the "math problem" that Dezerby was monitoring him. But this didn't mean that the matter was over. On the contrary, it was just a new beginning. Connor never wanted to discover how Dezerby was monitoring him. That was only a necessary process for him to achieve his goal. Connor wanted to avoid being monitored from the start and do what he wanted to do.
Since that was the case, a new problem arose. How should Connor deal with the cloud of water vapor above his head?
Avoiding being monitored was very simple. Connor only needed to cast a spell to disperse the water vapor after discovering it. But if he did that, Connor would discover that he couldn't use the crystal book to monitor Dezerby and would inevitably discover that something was wrong. At that time, even if Connor avoided being monitored, he would still have to face Dezerby and wouldn't be able to do what he wanted to do.
Thus, if he wanted to avoid being monitored while also not letting Dezerby notice, Connor had to use his brain and think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
After careful consideration, Connor made his decision. He decided to use an illusion to confuse Dezerby and the crystal book.
Didn't Dezerby like to monitor him?
Alright, Connor would satisfy his request and use an illusion to show some scenes to make Dezerby think that the scenes he saw from the crystal book were what Connor was doing. And with the protection of the illusion, Connor could be at ease and do what he wanted to do.
After doing all this, Connor was completely at ease. He first waved his hand and cast an invisible boundary to block the energy fluctuations that might appear in his wooden house. Then, he took out a long wooden box from his spatial ring.
Carefully opening the wooden box, he saw the scarlet cross sword that Connor had obtained from the underground tomb during the day. It was quietly lying in the box, waiting for Connor's arrival.
Sizing up the cross sword, Connor's gaze became somewhat complicated. Because he was anxious to meet up with Dezerby in the underground tomb during the day, although Connor had inspected the cross sword and had a general understanding of the fire attribute cross sword, the inspection couldn't have been comprehensive in such a short time in the tomb. In order to better use the cross sword in the future, Connor needed to do a more detailed second inspection to deepen his understanding of the fire attribute cross sword.
Now that he'd resolved the problem of Dezerby monitoring him, Connor finally had the chance to properly inspect it. This was the first time he'd come into contact with a rank 3 magic artifact!
That's right!
This scarlet cross sword was a genuine rank 3 magic artifact. Otherwise, the soul of the tomb's owner wouldn't have been able to parasitize this cross sword due to the harsh requirements of parasitizing a magic artifact.
When this cross sword had burst out of the crystal coffin and appeared in front of Connor, as an alchemist, Connor had an extremely strong perception of magic artifacts. He immediately realized that this fire attribute cross sword was different from other rank 2 magic artifacts.
When he realized this, Connor was naturally overjoyed. But regretfully, Connor also discovered that there seemed to be a problem with this cross sword, causing its power to be a lot weaker than normal rank 3 magic artifacts. Thus, it was precisely because of this that Connor hadn't cast a spell to shoot it down in the tomb to avoid further damage to the cross sword.
Instead, he'd chosen to use Castilla's Magic Staff to slowly capture this fire attribute cross sword. Although this would take a bit more time, it would ensure that the cross sword wouldn't receive any further damage.
After obtaining this cross sword and dealing with the soul of the tomb's owner, Connor immediately performed a first inspection on this cross sword.
The results of this first inspection immediately poured cold water on the excited Connor after obtaining a rank 3 magic artifact. From the results of the inspection, this fire attribute cross sword was a rank 3 magic artifact. Although there was no doubt about it, its internal runic structure had been damaged by about 30%. And this 30% was permanent damage that couldn't be repaired.
According to the theory of alchemy, if the runic structure of a magic artifact was damaged by more than 50%, then the probability of the magic artifact being scrapped was as high as 90%. Therefore, 30% damage to the runic structure was already a very serious damage. If the runic structure was damaged by more than 10%, close to 50%, then even if the fire attribute crossguard sword wasn't scrapped, it wouldn't be able to maintain its rank as a Tier 3 magic artifact.
Although he didn't know what this fire attribute cross sword and the tomb's owner had experienced a few hundred years ago, just from the damage to the runic structure of the cross sword, Connor's initial guess was that the tomb's owner had encountered some danger before his death. Thus, this extraordinarily powerful fire attribute cross sword had suffered such serious damage. Otherwise, a rank 3 magic artifact wouldn't have been damaged to such an extent under normal circumstances.
Furthermore, from the fact that the owner of the tomb hadn't come to repair or repair the cross blade after suffering such severe damage, it was possible that the owner of the tomb had died shortly after encountering danger. That was why he didn't have the time to repair the cross blade.
