Unlike the information Connor expected from the ancestor of the Ferguson family, Stipe Ferguson, to pass down to his descendants regarding the origin of this crystal and how to use it, there were only two Byzantine words on the letter!
"Blood! Soul! "
The word "Blood" seemed to be written with real blood. Even though it had been in the space ring for hundreds of years, it was still abnormally bright. At first glance, one would feel as if they were in a sea of blood, and their nostrils would be filled with the thick smell of blood!
Unlike the red word "Blood", the second Byzantine word "Soul" was written in pure black. Looking at the word "Soul", one would feel as if they were in a boundless black space, unable to extricate themselves.
Looking at the two words on the letter, Connor's expression immediately turned serious. Without a doubt, these two words were not simple. The reason why these two words gave off such a strange feeling, Connor felt that it had something to do with illusions. Although he didn't understand why Stipe Ferguson would leave behind such a message, from the way he pressed the crystal on the letter, it should be a hint for the descendants of the Ferguson family to inherit the sorcerer's legacy.
Taking out the cube crystal from the ruby space ring, Connor muttered to himself for a moment before taking back his space ring. He then took out a magnifying glass that emitted a light blue luster from the space ring. This magnifying glass was the alchemy tool he used to examine the contents of [Pendev's Selected Potions]. With its help, Connor was able to discover many subtle clues.
Using the magnifying glass to examine the cube crystal from top to bottom, a trace of doubt appeared in Connor's eyes as he held the magnifying glass in his hand. This cube crystal was of the highest quality and had excellent magic conductivity. In the Byzantine Sorcerer World, crystals of such quality were either used to refine magic items or to pass down a legacy. This was somewhat related to Stipe Ferguson's legacy.
It wasn't the first time Connor had seen a crystal of such high quality. In fact, Connor had a few crystals of similar quality in his space ring, but they were only the size of a fist or a finger. It was the first time he had seen one that was one square meter in size. In terms of value, this cube crystal could be considered a treasure in itself.
But what really made Connor curious and surprised was that although this cube crystal looked like a simple cut on the surface without any trace of refining, as an alchemist, Connor's intuition told him that this cube crystal must have been refined.
There were only two possibilities for this to happen. The first was that Connor's intuition was wrong, and this cube crystal really hadn't been refined. The second was that Connor's intuition was right. This cube crystal had been refined, but the refiner's skill level was much higher than Connor's. There were no traces of refinement that Connor could find on the surface of the cube crystal.

While Connor was in the basement of Ramsey Street, wondering about the mystery behind the cube crystal left behind by the ancestor of the Ferguson family, Stephen Ferguson, in a farmhouse in Granada Town, a small town near Loen, the fat middle-aged man who had fought with Connor at Reynolds Pharmacy across space was sitting on a sofa. He was playing with an exquisitely crafted gold coin in his chubby hand. His small eyes were sparkling, and he looked a little hesitant.
"I say, old man, your Coin of Destiny can only be used twice. Are you sure you want to waste it on this guy whose face you haven't even seen?" A blonde auntie beside the old man cautiously inquired. "Old man, your Coin of Destiny can only be used twice. Are you sure you want to waste it on this guy whose face you haven't even seen before?"
"Before coming to Loen this time, I used the gold coin to divine once. The gold coin hinted that this trip to Loen would be daunting but not dangerous, and that I would eventually achieve my goal!" Stopping playing with the gold coin in his hand, the uncle smiled faintly and looked at the blonde woman.
"You've already used it once? Does that mean the Coin of Destiny can still be used …? " Hearing the uncle's words, the blonde woman's face showed a hint of astonishment. Her eyes then fell on the gold coin in the uncle's hand.
"That's right, this little guy can still be used once more!" The uncle didn't deny his wife's guess. He weighed the Coin of Destiny in his hand and nodded in agreement.
"Since that person didn't dare to meet you in Reynolds's Potion Shop, he most likely knows that he can't defeat you. Old man, you don't have to use the Coin of Destiny for the last time. Why don't you use it for the last time after you concoct the potion and divine if you can successfully break through?" Without hesitation, the blonde woman tried to dissuade the uncle.
Hearing the woman's suggestion, a doting smile appeared on the uncle's face. He then shook his head and said, "Do you really think my Coin of Destiny is a tier-3 magic item? If it can divine if I can successfully break through, I wouldn't have come here! I became an official Magus 20 years ago! "
The fat uncle's explanation caused a trace of embarrassment to appear on the blonde auntie's face. She muttered in a low voice, "Even if I can't divine whether or not you can successfully break through to become an official Magus, I can't just waste it on an unknown person like him!"
"Unknown person? I can roughly guess the identity of this person! " While speaking, the uncle took out a piece of paper from his pocket. Under the dim orange light of the kerosene lamp in the room, he could see the words written on the paper: 5 days later, 10 AM, East End Nice Neighborhood, Salah Café 15.
Looking at Connor's handwriting on the note, the fat uncle said with some interest, "Reynolds's Drugstore is the address I left for Miss Antonella. This mysterious man used his power of the Will to explore that place and left me such a note. Most likely, this mysterious man is Miss Antonella's helper. This mysterious man's power of the Will is very strong. Even when I used the Will enchanted item, I was still suppressed in the battle of the Will. But these days, I've figured out something. Although this mysterious man's power of the Will is strong, it's not beyond the scope of a wizard apprentice!"
