Looking at the mine in front of him, Connor's rationality told him that he had already checked within fifty kilometers of the mine and had not found any traces of a magic stone mine. Therefore, he would not find a magic stone mine in the mine either.
“FUCK！” After cursing in a low voice, Connor's figure flickered. After a few seconds, his figure reappeared within the high walls of the mine.
Rationality was rationality after all. Not finding a magic stone mine as he had hoped, a sense of defeat still surfaced in Connor's heart. Therefore, even though he knew that the possibility of a magic stone mine in the mine was very slim, Connor still wanted to take a look. After all, this' prison 'in the eyes of the miners was something that an intermediate Apprentice Magus like Connor could come and go as he pleased. No one could affect him in any way.
With a thought, Connor activated the invisibility effect of the black robe, and even the wand became transparent. The wand was propped on the ground, and under the urging of Connor's spiritual force and magic power, it silently released probing waves into the depths of the ground.
After a minute, the probing waves gave Connor information. There were many black tungsten ore veins in the mine. Although such a result was not surprising, it was enough to dishearten. Connor's last hope of finding a magic stone mine had been shattered!
Although the result was terrible, Connor did not give up. He decided that since he was already here, he would change a few more places in the mine to experiment a few more times.
Half an hour later, just as he had quietly come, Connor quietly left the black tungsten mine with a dark expression. He had changed a total of ten or so locations in the mine to check, but he did not find anything. He did not even find a trace of a magic stone mine!
After returning to his rented house, Connor, who was in a bad mood, found a bottle of whiskey and downed it directly. Connor did not use his magic power to get rid of the drunkenness in his mind.
Leaning on the sofa, although he was half-drunk and half-refreshed, Connor's mind was working quickly. In a few days, he had carefully searched all the suburbs around Tunguska City. If he continued searching, he would be out of Tunguska City's borders!
Although Connor did not want to admit it, the truth was now in front of him. Now that he had failed to find a magic stone mine, if the information dealer Ryan came a few days later and also did not find anything, then the possibility of his deduction that Snake Eye had found a magic stone mine in Tunguska City had been greatly reduced.
Of course, even in such a situation, Connor still insisted on his opinion. Perhaps it was as he had guessed, Snake Eye had used a camouflage array to conceal the magic stone mine.
In short, after Connor's own failure, he could only hope that the information dealer of the Glazer family, Ryan, could bring him good news!
A few days later, at the agreed time, Connor appeared in the private room of Lexider Tavern. In front of him was the information dealer he had hired, Ryan.
"I don't know if accepting your employment is a good thing for me …" Ryan said with a wry smile as soon as he saw Connor.
Hearing this, Connor was delighted. Ryan had obviously found something, otherwise he would not have said that. Connor did not hesitate and threw three hundred gold pounds on the table. He stared at Ryan and said, "Tell me everything you found, and this money is yours!"
Looking at the banknotes on the table, a hint of greed appeared in Ryan's eyes. Although he was an information dealer and had a decent income, in a small place like Tunguska, he could not earn too much. Otherwise, he would not have tried to make Connor back off with three hundred gold pounds. The three hundred gold pounds from before and the three hundred gold pounds now made a total of six hundred gold pounds, which was enough for Ryan to work for several years.
After putting away the banknotes on the table, Ryan looked at Connor and said with a smile, "I like a boss like you the most. I believe that the things I found will be helpful to you!" After that, Ryan handed a kraft paper bag to Connor.
Connor took the kraft paper bag and opened it. He found that there were only two or three thin pieces of paper inside. After reading them, Connor closed his eyes and pondered.
According to the documents that Ryan had given him, more than one person had seen Snake Eye around Mercedes Lake in the western suburbs of Tunguska about a year ago. Snake Eye had also bought a large amount of bread from a bakery several times between a year and a few months ago.
However, Snake Eye had disappeared from Tunguska a few months ago, and no one had seen him in Tunguska again. According to Connor's calculations, the time that Snake Eye disappeared in Tunguska was very close to the time that he and Marguerite had met. Clearly, the reason Snake Eye disappeared in Tunguska was because he and Marguerite had killed him!
"I can guarantee that the contents of the documents are 100% true, but I have a guess that I'm not sure about. I wonder if you're interested in it, sir?" Ryan deliberated over his words as he looked at Connor, who was deep in thought.
A hint of anger appeared in Connor's eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He took out three hundred pounds from his wallet and threw it on the table, then said indifferently, "Speak!"
"Sir, you've misunderstood. You've already given me an extra three hundred pounds. Ryan isn't one to push his luck. The reason why I didn't write this information in the documents is because I'm not sure if this information is accurate. In our line of work, we must pursue the accuracy of information!" To Connor's surprise, Ryan didn't pocket the money like before. Instead, he returned the three hundred pounds to Connor with a straight face.
"Speak!" Connor didn't look at the money that was pushed back. His voice didn't carry a trace of emotion.
"A year ago, there was a missing person case in the neighboring city, Leicester City. Those who went missing were all young adults. According to the Leicester City Metropolitan Police Department's bulletin, a total of six people went missing. However, according to my sources, eleven people went missing in Leicester City. Leicester City said that the missing young adults were a group that went to the New World to seek gold. However, my sources told me that this group of people wasn't a group that went to the New World to seek gold. They didn't have any contact with each other before they went missing, and there wasn't a single clue during the process of their disappearance!"
"To this day, the eleven missing people have never appeared again!" Ryan said in a deep voice. At this point, a trace of doubt surfaced in his eyes, and even a trace of fear.
