"Tap, tap, tap!" Connor lightly knocked on the door of Reyes's villa. Today was the day he and Reyes had agreed to meet again.
"Click!"
Following the crisp sound of the door opening, the villa's door suddenly opened for Connor. Connor heard his mentor Reyes's voice transmitted through the air. "Come directly to the study!"
When Connor walked to the door of the study and was about to knock on the door again, the door of the study suddenly opened for Connor, just like the villa's main door.
"Greetings, Mentor!" Although he was somewhat surprised by the strange scene in front of him, Connor remained calm on the surface. His face didn't reveal any abnormalities as he politely bowed to Reyes.
"Eh? Connor, you should have practiced the Abyssal Secret Method's innate spell, Shadow Shackles, right? " Sensing the fluctuations of the Abyssal Secret Method from Connor's body, the smile on Reyes's face froze.
"Yes, Mentor!" Connor modestly nodded. He extended his right hand and a black mist immediately appeared on his palm. After two or three breaths, the black mist floating above Connor's right hand condensed into a black chain with mysterious runes engraved on it!
"It has only been three days since I gave you the Abyssal Secret Method. In three days, not only did you successfully change your cultivation, you even practiced the Shadow Shackles. It seems that the Abyssal Secret Method is very suitable for you!" A complicated expression flashed in Reyes's eyes. Soon after, he praised with a smile.
"Mentor, you praise me too much. Connor Ferguson will always remember Mentor's kindness in bestowing the Abyssal Secret Method! If you have any orders, I will do my best to fulfill them! "Connor bowed deeply to Reyes as soon as he finished speaking.
Although he didn't know why Reyes was so nice to him and why he wanted to make him his successor, Connor bowed sincerely. Mr. Harvey's birthday party lasted until yesterday morning. Connor, who was slightly tipsy, staggered back to his apartment. At that moment, the A.I. Chip's analysis of the Abyssal Secret Method's innate spell, "Shadow Shackles", was completed!
According to the A.I. Chip's analysis of "Shadow Shackles", it was a spell that could harm the enemy's soul as well as their physical body. Its strength lay in its imprisonment. As long as the enemy's strength didn't exceed Connor's by too much, Connor's Shadow Shackles would only result in one outcome. Their spiritual force would be instantly sucked dry by the Shadow Shackles, and they would lose their ability to fight. However, Connor could still do it!
Other than the Shadow Shackles, which was his most powerful innate spell, the abyssal secret technique had many other benefits as a high-grade meditation technique. Firstly, through the A.I. Chip, Connor discovered to his astonishment that while he was meditating on the abyssal secret technique, his Knight training and his physical attributes were also improving subtly. Although it wasn't obvious in a short period of time, over time, the increase would be astonishing!
Secondly, other than the innate spell, Shadow Shackles, the Abyssal Secret Method also had several other useful spells. For example, it could directly attack the enemy's soul with Spiritual Shock, and it was similar to Hypnotism, which could control people with weaker spiritual force than the user.
According to the A.I. Chip's estimation, although Connor had just become a beginner Acolyte not long ago, with the Shadow Shackles, Connor had the power to fight against an intermediate Acolyte!
"Connor, you are a good young man. You did not let me down by thinking so highly of you. Seeing that Connor didn't forget the person who dug the well and was so respectful towards him, Reyes's smile became even wider. He couldn't help but nod his head in satisfaction.
He muttered to himself for a while before continuing, "Coincidentally, I have a matter here that I need Connor to help me settle!"
"Erm …" Connor was speechless. He didn't expect that Reyes would have something for him to do right after he said, "If there's anything you need, I'll do it even if it costs me my life." Connor had just finished speaking, so he naturally couldn't slap his own face. He bowed slightly and said in a deep voice, "Mentor, what can I do for you?"
Reyes's expression was indifferent as he said casually, "Go to Sandro Street, Number 107. That's where Old Victor is. You just have to go there and help him with something! Oh right, there's one more thing! I think I should tell you that Old Victor is a Magus like you and me, and he has reached the level of an advanced Acolyte! "
Connor didn't understand Reyes's words, but it seemed that Reyes didn't intend to explain it to him. Connor could only bow again and said, "Yes, mentor! I'll go now! "
Sitting on the chair, Reyes closed his eyes and didn't say anything. He just waved his hand, indicating that Connor could leave.
After walking out of Reyes's villa, Connor hired a rental carriage beside Greene University. If Connor remembered correctly, the address given by Reyes should be Sandro Street in the north of Loen. There were seven public carriage routes near Greene University, but none of them were direct. If he wanted to go from Greene University to Sandro Street, he would have to take at least two public carriages, which would waste a lot of time.
Half an hour later, on Sandro Street, Connor handed the coachman two shillings. He didn't give the coachman any change, indicating that the extra was a tip. He then got off the carriage with the coachman's sincere thanks.
Sandro Street wasn't big, so Connor soon found the No.107 house that Reyes mentioned.
"Ding! Ding! Ding! "
After pressing the doorbell, Connor was instinctively curious about what Reyes wanted him to do.
"Da!" With a crisp sound, the door was opened, and the old face of Reyes's butler, Old Victor, appeared behind the door.
Seeing that it was Connor, Old Victor nodded slightly and whispered, "Come in!"
Old Victor was so mysterious that Connor couldn't help but be curious about what was hidden in this house!
As soon as he walked into 107 Sandro Avenue, Connor smelled a faint smell of blood. Although this smell was extremely milky and faintly discernible, Connor was sure that this was the smell of blood!
Connor's expression turned serious, and he turned to Old Victor with an inquiring gaze. Old Victor didn't say anything, but he opened a door in the house and waved his hand, indicating for Connor to enter.
As soon as the door was opened, Connor could feel that the smell of blood in the air immediately became much stronger. It was obvious that the smell of blood came from this room.
Connor hesitated for a moment, but still followed Old Victor's signal and walked into the room!
