To be honest, Connor was not too worried. As an official Magus, Langley was looking for trouble with him. This incident had confirmed Connor's conjecture that the new Bishop of Loen, Eder, was a spy of the Secret Society. Therefore, with Eder, who had been farming in Loen for decades, no matter how powerful Langley was, without the help of his subordinates and without a source of information, he was like a 'blind' and 'deaf' person. Trying to find him alone among the millions of people in Loen was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack!
Moreover, for a Magus, something like a soul seed was not something that could be condensed casually. This was especially so for non-spirit type Magi whose soul strength was not particularly strong. It was a very difficult thing to do!
The original soul seed spell was originally created for spirit type Magi and Magi who were good at the soul. In order to prevent being killed in a battle, they researched a type of soul spell. A part of one's soul would be cut off from one's own soul, and through a series of methods, this small part of the soul would form a seed and fall into a deep sleep. In the event that the main body met with an accident, the Magus who had the soul seed would have a chance to make a comeback and not be completely dead.
Because the original soul seed spell was very strong on the Magus' own soul, and there were many harsh conditions to cast this spell, and because there were fewer and fewer Magi who knew the original spell, the current soul seed spell gradually evolved into the simplified version used by Langley. Although the simplified version of the soul seed could not be compared to the original soul seed, it had the heaven-defying ability of giving a Magus an extra life.
However, it greatly reduced the difficulty of the implementation of the soul seed compared to the original version. The simplified version of the soul seed could be attached to the body of a Magus with a lower cultivation, but the period of attachment could not exceed three months. Otherwise, the connection between the soul seed and the body would gradually disappear. During the period when the soul seed was attached to someone else's body, if the body was killed, the soul seed would completely dissipate. If the soul seed was destroyed, it would also cause a certain amount of damage to the soul of the Magus body!
Connor estimated that killing Langley's soul seed would cause damage to Langley's soul. No matter what, Langley would need at least a year to recover. If he wanted to condense a soul seed again, it would take at least five years!
With the scheming Adel glaring at him from the side, Conor was sure that Langley would treat the wound on his soul first instead of seeking revenge. Even if Langley really hated Conor for destroying his soul seed, it would take at least a year for him to kill Conor for revenge. A year later, Conor Ferguson would have become an advanced Sorcerer-Apprentice. By then, he might not even be in Loen anymore.
After figuring all this out, Connor walked to the basement at the bottom of the safe house. In order to seal the things in the basement, Connor set up another layer of magic circle on top of the original magic circle in the safe house. After opening the magic circle and entering the basement, Connor was greeted by the pungent smell of disinfectant in the basement. Mixed with the strong smell of disinfectant was an indescribable, faintly discernible stench …
Connor looked at the corpse on the bed in the middle of the basement, which was covered by a white sheet. Although he had already checked the corpse, Connor still couldn't overcome the churning stomach acid in his stomach.
Connor walked up to the corpse and removed the sheet. He looked at the corpse with a complicated expression. When he saw the face and body of the demonized knight lying on the bed, Connor understood why this guy and his subordinates all wore black robes that covered their bodies. They didn't expose their faces like Hector, who was also a demonized knight.
This guy's appearance was too terrifying. There was only some grey hair on his head that emitted a withering aura like weeds. Other than that, there was no hair on his face, including his beard and eyebrows. Half of his face was covered with fine scales like a wild beast. Two five centimeters long green fangs protruded out of his mouth. The strangest thing was his eyes. One of them was dark green, while the other was blood red. Just looking at them would make one shudder in fear.
This demonized knight's body was shrouded in a black robe. From the outside, he looked no different from a normal human. However, in reality, the muscles on his arms and legs had shrunk into ghostly claws. They were also covered with long grey hair. The fingernails on his fingers and toes were as sharp as a wild beast's. This wasn't the main point. The main point was that on his ribs, there was a lump of flesh the size of an adult male's fist.
This demonized knight's horrifying appearance that was neither human nor beast, and his strength that forced Epstein, an advanced Apprentice Adept, to summon the soul seed that Langley had planted in him to deal with him in a one on one duel. This made Connor feel disgusted and curious about this guy.
To be honest, if he hadn't been caught off guard and was ambushed by Langley, who possessed Epstein's body, with the strength of this demonized knight, the outcome of this matter might have been different. Therefore, Connor made an important decision. He brought the corpse of this demonized knight to his safe house. As a truth-seeking Adept, he wanted to dissect this guy and see if he could unravel the secrets of this demonized knight.
After carefully sizing up the corpse of this demonized knight, Connor smiled bitterly and shook his head. With a flick of his finger, a gust of wind covered the demonized knight's body with the white bedsheet. Next, a black flame ignited in Connor's hand and burned the terrifying corpse of this demonized knight into ashes.
First of all, just like the demonized knight Hector, this demonized knight's sea of consciousness was also full of restrictions. However, the strength of these restrictions in this demonized knight's sea of consciousness was far above Hector's. In addition, this guy was already dead. Even with Connor's invincible Soul Manipulation, he couldn't extract anything from this guy's head.
