Seeing the book disappear into Connor's ring, a glint flashed across the scarred man's eyes, but it was quickly concealed by him.
"I've given you the item, can I leave now?" The scarred man asked in a flat voice.
"Why are there Church Wizards at the rendezvous point?" Staring at the scarred man, Connor said coldly. Along with Connor's words, the aura of an advanced Wizard Apprentice gradually pressed down on the scarred man.
"How would I know? I arrived ten minutes earlier than you, but there were already two Wizards in the inner hall before I arrived. Are you suspecting me? " To Connor's disappointment, the scar-faced man didn't show any signs of nervousness under the pressure of his aura. He replied calmly, "Yes.
"You can leave now!" Connor said calmly, and immediately walked out of the alley.
Connor knew very well that although the scarred man was not a Wizard, he was the subordinate of a certain Mister. He was definitely not someone easy to deal with. If he really wanted to take him down, he would definitely be able to do so, but he might not be able to do it without making a sound. If he made a sound, he might be in trouble.
So Connor just wanted to trick the scarred man. Seeing that the scarred man was not fooled by him, he naturally did not mind letting it go.
… …
… …
In the basement of Connor's safe house on Ramsey Street in the north of Loen, Loen, Connor seriously looked at the book without a cover in front of him. After receiving the book from the scarred man, Connor checked the book out of curiosity and vigilance against the Secret Society. He found that the appearance of the book was just a cover for the item. The book that looked like two to three hundred pages could not be flipped open at all. Connor's preliminary assessment was that there should be something inside the book, and the appearance of the book was just a cover to hide the true appearance of the item.
As a cover, the protection of the "book" was very good. Even with Connor's current strength, if he did not know the correct way to open it, he would have to attack the "book" for a few hours to break it and see what was hidden inside. But once Connor did that, he naturally would not be able to answer to the Secret Society.
And if he wanted to conduct further research on the item hidden in the book without destroying the "book", Connor had to use some inspection methods. So in order to do this, Connor did not return to his apartment at 16 Rand Street in the east. Instead, he came directly to the safe house here. Those inspection methods would release very strong energy waves during the process. Although Connor had a magic circle to help cover up the energy waves, it was still not as safe to perform them in his own house.
Connor took out four silver needles and a crystal ball from his space ring. He carefully inserted the four silver needles into the four corners of the "book". After placing the silver needles, Connor snapped his fingers and the concealment magic circle of the safe house was immediately activated.
Sensing that the energy waves in the safe house could no longer be detected by the outside world, Connor nodded slightly and began to chant quickly. His hands also flew up and down, condensing a series of seals and hitting the four silver needles. With Connor's movements, the energy waves on the four silver needles could be said to be stronger and stronger. After a while, the four silver needles actually connected to form a magnetic field that enveloped the "book".
After doing this, Connor finally finished casting. He took out a bottle of recovery potion from his space ring and drank it. This series of spells seemed simple, but in fact, it had a very high requirement for accuracy. Connor had used up quite a bit of magic power, so for the next step, Connor had to drink a bottle of recovery potion.
Feeling that his magic power had more or less recovered, Connor's expression turned solemn. He took out the crystal ball that he had just taken out from his space ring along with the four silver needles and gently placed it on the magnetic field formed by the four silver needles. The originally unremarkable crystal ball actually presented a very blurry image. In the image, in a very claustrophobic environment, there seemed to be a stone the size of an egg lying quietly inside.
"Beep! Beep! Beep! " Just as Connor was about to use some method to see if he could see the stone more clearly, the auxiliary A.I. Chip's urgent alarm sounded in his mind.
While Connor was scratching his head in confusion, wondering where the warning from the auxiliary chip came from, the chip's cold female voice rang out in his mind, "What are you waiting for?
"The auxiliary A.I. Chip has detected that an unknown source of radiation is eroding the Host's spiritual force. Requesting the Host to immediately stop what he is doing …"
"What? An unknown source of radiation is eroding my spiritual force? " Hearing the auxiliary A.I. Chip's detection, Connor immediately furrowed his brows and looked at the image of the stone in the crystal ball with some doubt. The erosion of spiritual force was without a doubt a disaster for Magi, especially for a spirit type Magus like him who was proficient in spiritual force.
The unknown source of radiation that the auxiliary A.I. Chip had mentioned should be this stone. Logically speaking, if the situation of his spiritual force being eroded as the auxiliary A.I. Chip had mentioned, he should be having a splitting headache and bleeding from all his orifices. It was impossible for him to not feel any abnormalities like he was now.
"Requesting the Host to immediately stop what he is doing. Otherwise, after 10 seconds, the source of radiation will cause permanent damage to the Host's spiritual force. Requesting the Host to immediately stop what he is doing …" Just as Connor was deep in thought, the auxiliary A.I. Chip once again issued a warning to Connor, and for the first time, it was broadcasting on a loop.
Squinting his eyes, Connor trusted the auxiliary A.I. Chip. Without any hesitation, he shook his sleeves and a strong gust of wind swept across and extinguished the magnetic field that he had spent so much effort to form with the four silver needles.
Once the magnetic field was extinguished, the auxiliary A.I. Chip's voice sounded in Connor's mind again. "Alarm removed. The unknown source of radiation has disappeared. Requesting the Host to check his spiritual force."
Connor heard every word of the auxiliary A.I. Chip and memorized it in his mind. He was completely puzzled. From the time the auxiliary A.I. Chip issued the warning to the time the alarm was removed, there was only a total of ten seconds. During this time, he did not feel the erosion of his spiritual force as the auxiliary A.I. Chip had said. There were also no abnormalities with his spiritual force. Everything seemed to be normal and within his control.
