"Steward Victor, as my teacher's student, I'm also a member of the Secret Society. If the Secret Society needs something from me, it's my responsibility. But if you want me to make a bomb in three days, isn't that a bit … I haven't even prepared the materials yet!" Connor's mind was racing as he tried to figure out what old Victor was up to. His tone revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Tell me what materials you need, and I'll send them to your apartment in two hours. As for the requirements, the smaller the size of the alchemy bomb, the better. It would be best if it could conceal itself so that it wouldn't be easily detected by the power of the will!" Old Victor said without hesitation.
Old Victor spoke casually, but the more Connor listened, the more shocked he became. It wasn't because old Victor said that he could send the materials to him in two hours. Connor wasn't surprised at all. Although there were a lot of materials required to make alchemy bombs, they weren't very rare. Even if some of the materials were controlled by the Empire and the Church, it wouldn't be hard for the Secret Society to get their hands on them.
What truly alarmed Connor was that Old Victor's description of his requirements for the alchemy bomb was surprisingly similar to the characteristics of the gray crystal alchemy bomb that he had placed in the warehouse in Mallorca and the abandoned safe house in Loen City.
Each of the grey crystals was only the size of a fingernail. Since Connor was a wizard with the power of the will, he had a deep understanding of the power of the will. Therefore, the alchemy bombs could also block the power of the will of most wizard apprentices. The alchemy bombs old Victor wanted were very similar to the alchemy bombs he created. What was old Victor trying to do?
Connor pretended to think about how to make alchemy bombs. After thinking for five minutes, he slowly said to old Victor, "Steward Victor, if it's possible, I'd like to ask why you want these alchemy bombs? Does my teacher know about them? "
After that, Connor stared into old Victor's eyes, hoping to see something valuable from the old man's cloudy eyes. However, as expected, Connor was disappointed. Old Victor seemed to have expected Connor's actions. Without any hesitation, he took out a letter from his Dimensional Ring and handed it to Connor.
After receiving the letter, Conner took a look at it. His face, which had always been expressionless, couldn't help but turn very ugly in an instant.
Although it was a letter, there wasn't any long explanation on it. There were only a few words written on it: "Loen will follow Victor's orders!" Other than that, there was nothing else on the letter. There was no signature at the bottom of the letter.
Although there was no signature, it was no longer important. Connor didn't ask Old Victor about the identity of the person who wrote the letter because he already knew the answer from the handwriting of the twelve words. The letter was written by his dear mentor, Reyes.
After reading the few words a few times, Connor's face gradually returned to normal. He immediately put the letter into his space ring. After pondering for a while, he said to Old Victor, "I can reduce the size of the alchemy bomb to the size of a gold bar, but I can't do your request of shielding it from the detection of mental strength with my current alchemy level!"
"Then how powerful are the alchemy bombs you made?" Connor's answer seemed to have met old Victor's requirements. Butler Victor didn't continue to pester Connor about the alchemy bombs. Instead, he asked about the power of the alchemy bombs.
Connor pointed his finger at the floor and revealed a confident smile. Without hesitation, he said, "Two alchemy bombs can blow up this tavern. However, the person who detonates the alchemy bombs must be within 500 meters of them before they can detonate the bombs with their mental strength!"
"Okay!" After listening to Connor's explanation, a faint smile finally appeared on old Victor's face.
"I need 150 grams of white phosphorus, 3 pieces of red magic stones, 1 kilogram of purple sun pollen, 2 kilograms of sulfur, 50 grams of green hydrochloric acid …" After confirming the function of the alchemy bombs, Connor began to dictate the materials he needed. Of course, with Connor's personality, he naturally added some materials that had nothing to do with alchemy bombs, but were very useful to him. In this way, not only could he confuse old Victor to find out what kind of alchemy bombs he wanted to make, but he could also fill up his Dimensional Ring. It was killing two birds with one stone!
"The things that you want will be delivered to your house in two hours. Take note of them. Three days later, you can place the bomb here!" Old Victor pointed at the private room they were in and said, "Don't worry, I'll send it to you.
"Okay!" After agreeing, Connor saw that old Victor had nothing else to say, so he turned around and left the tavern.
… ….
… ….
In the evening, in the quiet room of Loen's East Borough's apartment, 16 Rand Street, Connor looked at the black pill whose impurities were being disintegrated under the burning of his mental fire. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After he left the tavern in Little Bruges, the things he asked for were delivered to his apartment one and a half hours later. The black pill in his alchemy furnace was the alchemy bomb that he refined according to Old Victor's request.
After hearing Old Victor's request for him to refine an alchemy bomb in the Bruges tavern, Connor had thought that Old Victor wanted to use this method to determine if he was the one who caused the Mallorca warehouse explosion and the explosion of the safe house in the Loen city district. Therefore, he told Old Victor that he couldn't create an alchemy bomb that could block the detection of mental strength like the gray crystal.
However, old Victor's nonchalant attitude made Connor realize that old Victor's purpose wasn't what he thought at all. Old Victor wanted to test if he was the mastermind of the two explosions. But if that wasn't the case, what was old Victor's intention?
Although he was basically sure that old Victor wasn't targeting Connor Ferguson this time, for safety reasons, Connor still changed the alchemy bomb he made for old Victor from the crystal bomb that he was best at to the shape of the black pill.
