Using his mental strength, he secretly observed the delivery man who had received a gold pound tip from him. The delivery man happily drove his delivery carriage away from the streets of Rand Street. Within the range of his mental strength, a faint smile finally appeared on Connor's face. He focused all of his attention on the wooden delivery box that was mailed to him.
He had received a lot of mail, such as discounts in the shops around him, promotions in cafes and bars, and so on. However, he rarely received any express delivery. If he remembered correctly, he had only received one express delivery in the past few days.
Obviously, this wooden box in front of him was what he had been waiting for. Without a doubt, the contents of this wooden box were the compensation that Reyes had mentioned to the mysterious organization that had sent the demonized knight to assassinate him, as well as the information about the employer who hired the mysterious organization to assassinate him.
From the outside, this wooden box looked like an ordinary wooden box. It was no different from the wooden boxes sold in the Empire Department Store that was five streets away from Connor's house. However, Connor was not that superficial. He picked up the wooden box impatiently, but did not open it right away. Instead, he carefully checked it.
After a short while, Connor's lips curled into a smile. Then, he rhythmically patted the wooden box with his palms. The patting lasted for 10 seconds. The wooden box released a cloud of white smoke without any warning. However, Connor, who had already anticipated this, had already released a small tornado spell to disperse the white smoke.
"What a delicate arrangement. Who would have thought that this crappy box would contain Frank's Poison? If I wasn't careful enough, I would have been in trouble!" Connor sighed as he watched the whole process. It seemed that the person who mailed this wooden box to him knew that he was an alchemist. Although the mechanism of this wooden box was delicate, it would not be able to fool an alchemist. However, if someone who didn't know anything touched this box, that person would obviously be in trouble. The Frank's Poison hidden in the box could completely suffocate a grand knight to death within 10 seconds!
After getting rid of the danger, Connor focused his attention on the wooden box. His power of will had already detected a folded letter and a tightly wrapped small box in the box. Although Connor could read the contents of the letter with his will, Connor still picked up the small box beside the letter without hesitation. At such a close distance, Connor's sharp spiritual sense could completely sense the pure dark energy coming out of the tightly wrapped small box!
With excitement in his heart, Connor tried his best not to let his hands tremble when he opened the small box. It seemed that only that kind of thing could produce such pure dark energy. If it was really that kind of thing, then it would be wonderful …
"Advanced Wizard Apprentice! I, Connor Ferguson, am here! " Looking at the incomparably dark and ordinary-looking pigeon egg-sized stone in the small box, Connor, whose dream had come true, only had this thought in his mind.
In the Wizard World, there was something that could drive the Dark Elemental Apprentices crazy. That was the Dark Elemental Stone. No one knew the origin of the Dark Elemental Stone. Everyone only knew that the Dark Elemental Stone existed in the distant Byzantine Empire. Compared to the effect of the Dark Elemental Stone on the Dark Elemental Apprentices, the origin of the Dark Elemental Stone was not important at all.
Not only did the Dark Elemental Stone contain the purest dark elemental energy, but it also contained the precious Law of Darkness that could be sensed by the Dark Elemental Apprentices. To a large extent, the difference between the Wizard Apprentices and the Wizard Apprentices was that the Wizard Apprentices could use the Law of Darkness to control it, but the Wizard Apprentices couldn't.
The Wizard Apprentices had to do two things during the long process from Beginner to Intermediate to Advanced. The first was to accumulate energy, and the second was to sense the Law of Darkness. Compared to the energy that could be accumulated through hard work, the Law of Darkness wasn't that simple. Not only did the Wizard Apprentices need hard work, but they also needed a little bit of luck. In the Wizard World, many Wizard Apprentices had accumulated enough energy during hard work, but they were often stuck at the Law of Darkness. They couldn't make the breakthrough and would regret it for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, even though the Law of Darkness in the Dark Elemental Stone was very weak, it was still a priceless treasure to the Wizard Apprentices. Connor was very clear that if others knew that he had the Dark Elemental Stone, which was extremely precious to the Dark Elemental Sorcerers, he, Connor Ferguson, would never have peace again.
With the help of sufficient magic stones and the potions that Varga had provided, Connor's progress was as fast as his progress in Alchemy. As early as half a month ago, Connor had accumulated enough energy for him to break through to an Advanced Wizard Apprentice. As for the Advanced Meditation Technique, Abyss Secret Technique, which mainly focused on the Spirit element, Connor had already sensed enough of the Law of Darkness. Now, the only obstacle that would hinder him from becoming an Advanced Wizard Apprentice was the Law of Darkness.
According to Connor's original plan, with the help of the Auxiliary Chip, if everything went smoothly, he would need at least half a year to be able to sense the Law of Darkness clearly enough for him to break through to an Advanced Wizard Apprentice.
However, the appearance of the Dark Elemental Stone was like a sweet dew after a long drought. With this thing, Connor could completely shorten the time needed to break through to an Advanced Wizard Apprentice to three months … No! One month!
Connor's eyes sparkled as his mind raced. As long as Varga could make the potions that could help him break through, along with the methods that he had prepared beforehand, Connor was confident that with the help of the Auxiliary Chip, he would be able to sense the Law of Darkness clearly from the Dark Elemental Stone within a month. At that time, he would be ready to try to break through the barrier of his cultivation.
"This mysterious organization that experimented with Enchanted Knights is really f * cking generous. They actually gave me something like the Dark Elemental Stone as compensation. But I guess this is also because of the Secret Society and my mentor, Reyes!" Connor secretly sighed as he held the Dark Elemental Stone in his hand.
