Martina was completely stunned when she recalled that when she was fighting with Connor, the top level level 2 enchanted item that trapped her in the magic circle was actually made by her. She always thought that the magic staff and the combination enchanted item in her hand were given to her by the secret society!
"Connor is very talented in alchemy. Now that he has become an advanced wizard apprentice, I believe his alchemy skills have reached a whole new level. But this time, the surveillance device installed in the house was made by Sir Southgate. I'm not sure if Connor can still recognize it …" Old Victor's murky eyes flashed with coldness.
… ….
… ….
"Impossible! It's impossible! "
While operating the alchemy furnace to refine the main material of the Ferocious Spirit Spear, Connor denied in his mind.
According to the map, there was only one area on the west coast of the empire that was close to the ocean and located in a forest, and that was Norwich Forest, which was five kilometers away from the South Anmouth Port. Norwich Forest was only five kilometers away from the ocean, and one could completely feel the sea breeze from the west coast. However, the reason why Connor was so adamant that it was impossible was that Norwich Forest was three hundred kilometers away from Loen City on the map!
In this era, the trains were still in the early stages and were powered by steam. The fastest train was the St. Laurent train of the Kaman Empire, which could reach a speed of twenty kilometers per hour. In theory, it would take at least fifteen hours to reach Norwich Forest from Loen City even if he took the St. Laurent train! If he was really in the depths of Norwich Forest, it meant that the carriage only took less than two hours to travel the same distance that the St. Laurent train would take at least fifteen hours to reach Norwich Forest!
Even though Connor was certain that the carriage was a magic artifact, the two carriages had to be at least Tier 3 in order to do so. And that was impossible. Putting aside the fact that a Tier 3 magic artifact that wasn't part of the Church couldn't be driven openly in Loen City, Connor was confident that with his Alchemy skills, it was impossible for him to not notice any traces of a Tier 3 magic artifact if he were to ride in a carriage with a Tier 3 magic artifact!
"Zi … Zi … Zi …"
The more Connor thought about it, the more excited he became. Just as the mental strength controlling the alchemy furnace deviated a little due to his excitement, the alchemy furnace that was refining the Getan Steel made a slight sound of abnormal waves. Although the sound was very soft, it was like a bolt from the blue in Connor's mind.
Upon hearing this voice, Connor hurriedly took a deep breath and got rid of all distracting thoughts. As he calmed down, the mental strength controlling the alchemy furnace returned to normal, and the abnormal waves in the alchemy furnace also gradually subsided.
After making sure that the anomaly had disappeared, Connor breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he was only refining Getan Steel in the alchemy furnace, which was a very simple alchemy operation for him. If he were to carry out the difficult alchemy technique of "mind micro-manipulation", his alchemy furnace would not be as simple as just having some slight fluctuations like now. It would very likely explode on the spot!
Focusing on his mental strength, Connor made a few consecutive changes in the technique, and very efficiently turned the big lump of Getan Steel in the alchemy furnace into Getan Steel Essence the size of an adult's fist.
Taking the Getan Steel Essence out of the alchemy furnace, Connor looked at the faintly discernible patterns on the Getan Steel Essence and nodded with satisfaction. There was a city called Getan in the Portia Empire, which was in the south of the Kaman Empire. There were large and small iron mines around Getan City, so since ancient times, Getan City's steel industry and steel-making technology had been very developed. Using the iron mines around Getan City as raw materials, and using the traditional steel-making technology of Getan City to forge steel, the steel was called Getan Steel!
Getan Steel had high hardness, good conductivity of magic power and spiritual force, and had a special restraining effect on souls. On top of that, the crafting process was complicated and very tedious, and the annual production did not exceed ten tons. Therefore, it was a very valuable hard currency in the Sorcerer World. Its value was about one magic stone or about ten grams of getan steel.
It was also because of Getan Steel's special ability to suppress spirits that it became the main raw material to forge the Ferocious Spirit Spear. The Getan Steel Essence that Connor extracted was several times stronger than normal Getan Steel, whether it was in terms of hardness, conductivity of magic power and spiritual force, or its ability to restrain souls.
Connor placed the newly refined Ge Tan Steel Essence and several other materials for refining the Ferocious Spirit Spear in front of him. He closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
"There really is a surveillance camera in this room!"
At this moment, Connor looked like he was thinking about how to forge the Ferocious Spirit Spear, but in reality, Connor was sure that his every move in this room was being monitored.
The reason why Connor made such a mistake when refining Getan Steel was a very simple alchemy operation was not because Connor's ability was not good enough, but because Connor had committed a big mistake in alchemy. He thought that the operation was simple, so he made a mistake by doing two things at once!
Alchemy could not be done with two things at once. This was a principle that all Sorcerers who had just entered the world of alchemy knew. However, how could Connor, who had already made countless magic items, make such a mistake?
The reason was that Connor, as a spirit type wizard, had a strong sense of intuition. He vaguely realized that he was being monitored through a surveillance device, so he didn't dare to stop and think about where he was. He was afraid that he would arouse the suspicion of the person who was monitoring him. He could only pretend that he was not being monitored and multitask. He was refining Gotham Steel as usual while thinking about other things. Plus, the things he was thinking about were too scary and unsettling, which led to Connor's alchemy mistake.
But it also seemed to be a blessing in disguise! The mistake was a blow to Connor, but when Connor made the mistake, the person monitoring Connor's items seemed to want to observe the mistake more clearly, so there was a slight energy fluctuation in Connor's alchemy furnace.
Although the energy fluctuation was very slight and could be missed if one was not careful, it was still caught by Connor's sharp senses!
