"It seems like your relationship with Martina has improved, Connor?" Old Victor asked with interest as he gazed at Connor.
"Perhaps!" Connor shook his head and gave an ambiguous answer.
In the past 20 days, Connor's preparations weren't superfluous. Martina had sought help from Connor twice. During those times, Connor didn't think that Martina was seeking his help because she couldn't solve the problem in refining the metal bricks. Instead, she wanted to understand the mental micro-manipulation. But fortunately, Martina wasn't foolish enough to secretly eavesdrop on Connor's small house. Otherwise, the gadgets that Connor had set up would definitely give Martina a good show to watch.
"Lord Southgate, have you agreed to my request?" After Martina left, only Conner and Old Victor were left in the alchemy laboratory. Before Old Victor could speak, Conner asked straightforwardly, "What's the matter?
"Unfortunately, Lord Southgate has rejected your request!" Old Victor's reply was also very straightforward without the slightest bit of hesitation from Connor's straightforward question.
Connor wasn't surprised by Old Victor's reply at all. When he made this request, he hadn't discovered the abnormality of the metal bricks. When he discovered the value of the metal bricks, Connor immediately understood that Old Victor's promise to tell Southgate about his request might be an excuse. But even if Old Victor really told Southgate about his request, there was a high chance that Southgate wouldn't agree.
After processing these metal bricks for close to a month, Connor still wasn't sure what these five metal bricks were. What were their uses? But Connor was sure of two things. Firstly, these five metal bricks were only a part of an alchemy item. Secondly, if this alchemy item that Southgate was refining was a magic item, it would at least be a rank 3 magic item!
Although a rank 3 magic item could be refined by a Great Alchemist like Southgate, it definitely wasn't something that could be casually refined. Refining a rank 3 magic item required the use of one or more secret techniques. And to an Alchemist, this secret technique obviously couldn't be easily seen by other Alchemists.
"Then what can I get?" Connor asked Old Victor with a calm expression. He had been working here day and night for such a long time and had consumed so much of his energy. If he wasn't allowed to watch Southgate's refining process, he should be given some other compensation!
Old Victor handed two booklets to Connor and said, "These are the secret books and alchemy materials that I can use. You can choose any three of them. Don't worry, you can take them back and carefully choose. Just give me your answer a week later. Put the things you choose and these two booklets in the mailbox of Professor Green's villa. I'll arrange for them to be sent to your apartment!"
"Okay!" After receiving the two booklets from Old Victor, Connor glanced through them and nodded in satisfaction. Although he didn't know what he would choose, the things listed in Old Victor's booklet were all valuable. If he could choose any three of them, it wouldn't be a waste of time.
"I'll get the carriage to send you off!" Old Victor didn't intend to be polite with Connor at all. He directly arranged for Connor to leave.
Ten minutes later, Connor sat in the black carriage that he came in and slowly drove out of the manor. He was also wearing the bracelet that could interfere with his mental strength. It was just that when he came in the carriage, Martina was beside him. Now, the carriage was replaced with a very heavy looking big box.
After glancing at the big box, a flash of light flashed across Connor's eyes. If he wasn't wrong, the material of this big box was also a kind of alloy. Furthermore, Connor felt that the alloy of this big box was somewhat similar to the metal bricks that he used to engrave Siphon Runes on in the alchemy laboratory of the manor using the method of spiritual micro-manipulation.
The carriage continued to move forward. Just when Connor was hesitating whether to check this big box, the auxiliary chip's cold voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Beep! The auxiliary chip has detected that the spatial energy around the host is abnormal. It has increased by several times! Host is advised to remain vigilant!]
"As expected!" Hearing the reminder from the auxiliary A.I. Chip, Connor's attention was instantly diverted from the mysterious alloy chest beside him. He sneered inwardly and thought to himself.
Connor has always believed in one sentence: Remove all the impossibilities, and the answer, even if it is absurd, is the truth of the matter.
When he discovered that he was suspected to be in Norwich Forest that day, although Connor found it hard to believe that he was still in Loen an hour ago, he had already appeared in Norwich Forest that was more than three hundred kilometers away from Loen. However, when he came to the conclusion that the vegetation and climate in Norwich Forest recorded in the auxiliary chip's database were 89.7% similar to what he saw in the forest, Connor couldn't help but believe that this black magic carriage had really crossed a distance of three hundred kilometers in a little more than an hour!
After confirming the facts, Connor began to ponder, 'What kind of black carriage could do something that even the fastest train in the world, the St. Laurent with a speed of 20 km/h, couldn't do?'
As an alchemist, Connor felt that there was only one way to make the black carriage do this, and that was through a Teleportation Array!
Using a teleportation array could greatly reduce the travel time. A train that would take a few hours or even a few days to reach its destination could be teleported by a teleportation array in a minute. Although a teleportation array was good, it couldn't be used on a large scale. First of all, if one wanted to build a teleportation array, the person in charge of it had to be a Great Alchemist who was proficient in arrays and the domain of space. Moreover, even if that Great Alchemist took action, it would take several months to complete. Secondly, the materials needed to build a teleportation array were extremely precious. Moreover, after a lot of effort, using the teleportation array would require a large amount of magic stones!
