"It seems that Castle Schalke is the target of the bomb explosion."
Walking along the rugged mountain path of the Shark Mountain Range, Connor held a crudely crafted mirror in his hand. He lowered his head to look at the black dots that appeared on the mirror, and muttered to himself, "That's right.
At this time, Connor's face was extremely ordinary, and his body seemed to be a little bloated. He held a hiking stick in his hand and was dressed in outdoor clothes. He looked like a mountain climber who liked to climb. There was no trace of the noble Connor Ferguson at all.
Ever since that day when the alchemy bomb was located in the warehouse in Mainz, Connor had lost the location of the alchemy bomb. When this happened, Connor did not panic or feel surprised at all. He was very clear that this situation was very likely because the alchemy bomb was in another independent and sealed space. As for the independent and sealed space, it could be understood in layman's terms that the alchemy bomb was stored in a space ring.
In order to better locate the alchemy bomb, although Connor deliberately made the stability of the alchemy bomb a little worse, he did not make it too exaggerated in order not to arouse the suspicion of the secret society. As long as there was nothing with strong energy radiation in the space ring, there would be no problem with storing these alchemy bombs.
In order to clarify the doubts in his heart, Connor temporarily stopped his plan to get the Mysterious Energy Potion and break through to become an advanced Apprentice Wizard. Three hours ago, the location of the alchemy bomb that had disappeared for a few days reappeared on Connor's silver mirror. This location was Castle Schalke in the western suburbs of Loen. Since the alchemy bomb appeared in Castle Schalke three hours ago, the location of the alchemy bomb had not changed. It had stayed there for a long time.
"Boom …! Boom …! "
When Connor was looking at the map and quietly approaching a mountain peak, several deafening loud noises suddenly rang in his ears. Hearing these loud noises, Connor's face suddenly changed. He looked at the silver mirror in his hand again. The location of the alchemy bomb that should have appeared on the mirror had disappeared without a trace.
Observing this situation, Connor hesitated for a moment. He immediately gave up on his quiet but somewhat slow speed. With a thought, he rapidly advanced towards the target mountain.
Using his full strength, Connor only used a minute to reach the peak of the mountain. Looking down from the peak, Connor nodded thoughtfully as he looked down at the castle that was emitting thick black smoke.
Connor was clear about his purpose here. He didn't come here to do anything; instead, he wanted to know what Old Victor was doing with his alchemist's bombs. Therefore, he needed a safe place where he could observe the whole situation.
The mountain that Connor was currently on was the best location that Connor had found around Castle Sark according to his needs. This location was about a kilometer above Castle Sark, so it was very well hidden. No one would think that someone would be spying on him from a kilometer above the mountain peak!
Connor took out something that looked like a telescope from his space ring. He couldn't wait to use it to look down at Castle Sark below. Although the mountain peak a kilometer above the castle was very well hidden and wouldn't be easily discovered, it didn't mean that this location was perfect for Connor. A kilometer above the castle was indeed very well hidden, but at such a long distance, Connor couldn't use his mind power to perceive what was happening below the castle. However, since Connor had chosen this location, it naturally meant that he had found a solution.
And this solution was in Connor's hands. This thing that looked similar to a telescope was a magic item that Connor had refined by imitating the telescopes on Earth. With this thing, Connor could effectively and covertly observe everything that was happening in the castle from a kilometer above the ground.
Under the gaze of Connor, who was holding the telescope in his hand, as the explosion of Castle Sark and black smoke rose, four small black dots appeared around the castle. Four Wizards were quickly approaching the castle. Their speed was very fast, and it took a lot of effort for Connor to see the faces of the four people with the telescope. Connor didn't recognize three of them, but Connor recognized the leader of the four, Big Beard, at a glance through the telescope. This Big Beard was impressively Epstein, an advanced Wizard apprentice that Marguerite had once introduced to him. He had followed the commander of the Loen Arbiter, Longley, to Loen!
Seeing the appearance of Epstein, Connor, who was standing on the mountain peak a kilometer above, smiled faintly with the telescope in his hand. There was no doubt that the billowing black smoke rising from Castle Sark and the explosion just now were caused by the explosion of the black pill alchemy bomb that he had refined. The appearance of Epstein undoubtedly proved that Connor's conjecture was getting more and more likely. Connor was really looking forward to how things would develop next.
After confirming the coordinates of the alchemy bomb and appearing in Castle Sark, Connor checked the information recorded in the Empire's City Hall. The original owner of this castle built at the foot of the mountain was unable to repay the loan five years ago, so he had no choice but to give Castle Sark, where his family had lived for many years, to Loen's Alais Consortium. Twenty-nine percent of Alais Consortium's shares belonged to the Loen Church, so this meant that Castle Sark was related to the Church of the Storm.
Combined with his previous conjecture, before coming here, Connor couldn't help but wonder if Old Victor wanted to replicate what he had done in the secret warehouse in Mallorca to lure the snake out of its hole and kill Epstein, so that the Secret Society's spy, Edward, could defeat Longley's arrogance.
Under the gaze of Connor, who was full of anticipation, before Epstein and the other three people could get close to the castle, they were surrounded by six men in black who suddenly rushed out from the castle!
"Eh …?" Seeing the appearance of the six men in black through the telescope, Connor had a look of doubt in his eyes. He was not puzzled by the appearance of these men in black, as their appearance was completely within his expectations. What really puzzled him was that he actually felt a sense of deja vu from these men!
