Connor didn't care about the strange disappearance of the crystal ball. Instead, he was still immersed in the information that the crystal ball had given him. Rather than saying that the crystal ball was left to him by Old Victor, it was more accurate to say that Reyes had placed it with Old Victor as a reward when Old Victor felt that he had passed the test.
Connor now realized that he didn't understand Reyes at all. His mentor, Reyes Ferguson, was even more mysterious than he had imagined.
Reyes had mentioned a lot of things in the crystal ball, but it could be summed up into five points.
First, Reyes had told Connor that the moment he obtained the crystal ball, the secret society would hunt him down. However, Reyes believed that since Connor had obtained the crystal ball, it meant that he had reached the peak of a high-rank wizard apprentice and could attempt to break through to become an official wizard. Therefore, as his mentor, Reyes had prepared a set of cultivation resources for Connor that could help him break through to become an official wizard. This set of cultivation resources would be mailed to Connor's apartment at 16th Rand Street in the next three days.
Secondly, Reyes had told Connor that Connor's guess was right. The reason why he had spent so much effort to cultivate Connor and taught him advanced meditation techniques and alchemy was not for no reason. Other than wanting to let Connor inherit his legacy, he also needed Connor to do something for him, and this matter was related to the abyss secret method. Reyes didn't deny that this matter was dangerous, and at the same time, he gave Connor a chance to choose.
Reyes told Connor that he could choose to refuse, but if Connor chose to refuse, then as his mentor, Reyes would give Connor a piece of advice. That was to not attempt to break through to become an official wizard. If he really wanted to break through to become an official wizard, then don't use the abyss secret method as a meditation technique to break through to become an official wizard!
Reyes's third point had solved a doubt in Connor's heart. Reyes had once written a letter to Connor, asking him to decide whether to leave Loen and go to the place he wanted to go in his dream. At that time, Reyes' letter had completely confused Connor. He didn't understand where exactly was the place that Connor wanted to go in his dream.
But now, Reyes had given Connor an answer in this crystal ball. The content of this answer was: The Kaman Empire's Flosinone City where the Ferguson family was located!
In addition, in the information recorded in the crystal ball, Reyes also told Connor that if Connor successfully broke through to become an official wizard, then as his mentor, he would prepare a gift for Connor to celebrate his breakthrough as an official wizard. Reyes had left this gift in the old mansion of the Ferguson family. After Connor became an official wizard, he could decide whether to obtain and use this gift that Reyes had prepared for him as his mentor.
At the same time, Reyes had also hinted to Connor that if Connor wanted to obtain this gift, he wouldn't take it for free. Instead, he would have to pass a test. Reyes had personally set up a set of dangerous mechanisms around the treasure. Connor would have to break these mechanisms in order to obtain the treasure. And in the process of breaking these mechanisms, Connor's life would be in danger!
Fourth, Reyes was very honest. If Connor wanted to obtain more information about him, then the Ferguson family in Flosinone City would be a good place to go. Reyes also told Connor that he was currently in the imperial capital of Bernabeu and had some things to take care of. He wouldn't be looking for Connor for a while, but three years later, he would go to the Ferguson family in Flosinone City to look for Connor. He hoped that Connor would be waiting for him there!
Fifth, Reyes told Connor that he believed that Connor had already found out about the internal situation of the secret society through various channels. He knew about the existence of Wang Jue's faction and their relationship with him. Similarly, Reyes told Connor that he had already appeared in the sights of Wang Jue's faction. In order to deal with him, Wang Jue's faction would definitely come into contact with Connor.
Perhaps Reyes knew that even if Connor objected, it wouldn't have any effect, so he didn't mention in the message that he wouldn't allow Connor to come into contact with Wang Jue's faction. However, Reyes advised Connor to use his own judgment during the process of coming into contact with them. He couldn't be completely reduced to a chess piece that could be manipulated by others!
There were a total of five points, which was a lot of information. However, Connor realized that he seemed to have found some clues from it.
The reason why Reyes had nurtured him was definitely related to the Abyss Secret Technique, which was an advanced meditation technique that Reyes had personally imparted to him!
In the message that Reyes left in the crystal ball, it seemed like he was giving Connor a choice. However, in reality, it was an overt plot. Reyes was very clear about Connor's wild ambitions, so he used this method to tell Connor that using the Abyss Secret Technique to break through to become an official Magus was a trap! A trap that was enough to devour his life!
Reyes knew that Connor wouldn't tolerate him being stuck in the realm of an advanced Apprentice Magus forever. As an advanced meditation technique, the Abyss Secret Technique was not only powerful, but the magic power and spiritual force attributes that it cultivated were also very tyrannical. Therefore, if Connor wanted to switch to another meditation technique, then the magic power and spiritual force that the Abyss Secret Technique gave him had to be completely clean.
If Connor did this, it would mean that Connor's body and soul would suffer irreversible damage. From a peak advanced Apprentice Magus, he would once again become an ordinary person, and he would need to cultivate again to become a Magus. Under such a heavy injury, Connor who had to cultivate again wouldn't be able to break through to become an official Magus. Even at the end of his life, if he could recover to the state he was in before he started cultivating again, he would be considered extremely lucky!
Because of this, Reyes was confident that even if Connor knew that breaking through to become an official Magus was a trap, he would still willingly jump into it and use the Abyss Secret Technique as a meditation technique to break through to become an official Magus! This was because Connor had no other choice. Although the message that he left in the crystal ball didn't say it explicitly, it implied that if Connor used the Abyss Secret Technique to break through to become an official Magus, then he would naturally understand why using the Abyss Secret Technique to break through to become an official Magus was a trap!
Thinking up to this point, although Connor had already expected this situation, his angular face couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. As a mentor, Reyes had indeed calculated his student too accurately. It seemed that he could only follow the path that Reyes had prepared for him.
