"Young Master Connor, I haven't finished yet!" Seeing that Connor had already put the ring and handkerchief into his pocket, Martinez said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Young Master.
"Um … I'm so sorry."
Connor reluctantly took the ring out of his pocket. He knew what old butler Martinez wanted to say. He wanted to know what this thing was and how to open this ring. However, as an advanced wizard apprentice and alchemist, as long as this ring wasn't completely damaged and could still be opened, Connor didn't need to use any other methods. With his own alchemy knowledge and powerful power of the will, Connor could destroy the ring's restriction in a few seconds without any other methods.
Just as Connor expected, Old Butler Martinez pointed at the ring and said mysteriously, "Young Master Connor, what I am about to tell you is the true secret of the Ferguson Family. There is no written record of this secret in the family. This secret is passed down from generation to generation through word of mouth. The reason I know about it is because your father is in poor health. I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on until you came back, so I told you about it."
"Oh? What's the secret? " Although Connor was a little disappointed by the existence of the ring, Martinez's mysterious tone more or less aroused Connor's curiosity.
"Young Master Connor, the seventh-generation ancestor of the Ferguson Family, Stephen Ferguson, used to be a wizard!" Martinez said in a deep voice as he approached Connor. The old steward lowered his voice, but his old face was full of pride. He looked as if he was proud of Connor's achievement.
"Oh, I see." Hearing the name "Stephen Ferguson" from the old steward's mouth, Connor immediately understood what the old steward was going to say.
Recalling what Lindelof, the advanced wizard apprentice of the Selta Sect, had told him, Connor seemed to have thought of something. He then focused on the dim ruby ring on his finger.
At the same time, the proud old butler continued in a low voice, "When Stepp was young and before he inherited the family, it was said that he joined a wizard organization called the Serta Sect and became a wizard in that wizard organization. Master Connor, the ring you're holding now is what Stepp left behind. It's said that this is a space ring, and it contains the inheritance that Stepp left behind to become a wizard …" Speaking of this, the proud old butler's voice suddenly became a little regretful, and he said helplessly, "It's said that Stepp left behind a space ring, and it contains the inheritance that Stepp left behind to become a wizard …" Speaking of this, the proud old butler's voice suddenly became a little regretful.
"If you want to open this space ring, you need mental strength. However, it's said that mental strength is something that only wizards can have."
Hearing this, Connor couldn't help but laugh. This ancestor of the Ferguson Family, Stephen, had a really strange way of thinking. The space ring contained the inheritance to become a wizard, but if you want to open it, you need to become a wizard and have mental strength. This was an out-and-out false proposition!
In order to not arouse the old steward's suspicions, Connor pretended to be very excited as he observed the ruby space ring. He then continued to ask the old steward, "Apart from this ruby ring, did Stephen's ancestor leave behind anything else?"
The old butler shook his head and said regretfully, "Ancestor Stephen has been gone for several hundred years. It's been too long. He might have left behind some other things besides this ring, but this is the only thing left in the family!"
After telling Connor this secret, the old steward still felt a little uneasy. He reminded Connor, "Young master Connor, you must keep this a secret. Don't tell anyone. When you inherit the family in the future and have a son, you can pass it on to your son. With this inheritance, a new wizard will definitely appear in the Ferguson Family in the future and revive the family!"
When he said this, the old steward's tone was very certain. His eyes shone with a resolute light. Obviously, he firmly believed that the Ferguson Family was only at a temporary low point. Sooner or later, the Ferguson Family would return to glory and greatness!
Looking at Connor, a hint of worry appeared on Martinez's face. He reminded Connor, "Young master Connor, this place is not like our hometown Flosinone. This is the territory of the Church of the Storm in Loen. You must be careful! They have always been cruel to adepts. They would rather kill the innocent than let go of anything related to adepts! "
Feeling the seriousness in the old steward's words, Connor smiled and nodded. He comforted the old steward and said, "Don't worry. I've been in Loen for a long time. I know better than you what the Church of the Storm is like. I will take good care of myself!"
Connor could understand why Old Ferguson told this secret that only the head of the family could pass down orally to Martinez. First of all, the old steward had served the Ferguson Family for decades. He was extremely loyal and trustworthy. Second of all, Connor Ferguson hated Old Ferguson because of his mother. They had a very bad relationship. The two of them basically didn't speak for a long time. Old Ferguson knew his son's thoughts very well, so he planned to use the old steward to pass on this secret to Connor Ferguson.
"Old steward, did father say why he wanted you to pass this to me now?" After putting the ruby ring back into his pocket, Connor pondered over the whole process, and continued to ask Butler Martinez with some doubts. After all, if there was nothing wrong with old Ferguson's health, there was no need for him to ask Butler Martinez to hand over the ring to him now.
Hearing Connor's question, the old steward Martinez's expression turned serious. He said to Connor with some hesitation, "Some unknown people have appeared in Flosinone recently. Master suspects their identities. So, just in case, he wanted me to pass this to you, young master!"
