Taking a deep breath, Connor stealthily crept toward the tower under the cover of the night. As one of the most important buildings of the Ferguson family, the family library was not only patrolled by the family's servants around the clock, but there were also numerous traps. Even the members of the Ferguson family were not allowed to get close to the family library under normal circumstances!
For more than 90% of the members of the Ferguson family, the family library in the middle of the manor was definitely a forbidden area. They might not even be able to enter and explore it for the rest of their lives. However, Connor Ferguson was, after all, the only son of the head of the family. From the moment he was born, he was regarded as the heir of the family and the next Earl Ferguson. Therefore, ever since he was six years old, he had unimpeded access to the Ferguson family library. He had also memorized the positions of the traps outside the family library.
Therefore, Connor's stealthiness did not encounter any obstacles as he entered the tower. After entering the tower, Connor went directly to the second floor of the tower. It looked like a storage room for cleaning tools. Walking into the storage room, Connor began to gently tap the red bricks on the wall according to his childhood memories.
"Ka!"
When Connor tapped on the fifth red brick, a crisp sound came from the wall of the storage room, and a secret door appeared.
"Butler Martinez, why are you here so late?"
After the secret door split open, without waiting for Connor to do anything, a robust old man around the age of seventy walked out from the secret door. The old man did not even see who the other party was before he spoke without hesitation.
After the old man finished speaking, he saw a man in a black robe in front of him. It was not the butler Martinez that he had mentioned. Immediately, the old man said in shock and anger, "Who are you? How do you know the secret order of the Ferguson family? "
Although the old man looked like he was in his seventies, his reaction wasn't slow in the slightest. He stretched out his hand, wanting to hit a protrusion on the wall. However, before his hand could touch the wall, he saw the black-robed man lightly chopping at his neck with his hand.
The old man did not struggle at all and fainted. Seeing that the old man had fainted, Connor supported him and helped him to the bed in the secret room of the secret door.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Jon!"
After whispering to the old man, Connor took out a pitch-black pill from his space ring and fed it to the old man for him to swallow.
The old man's name was Jon Ferguson. He was the younger brother of Connor's grandfather and also Connor's great-uncle. He was the guardian of the Ferguson family's library for this generation.
The library of the Ferguson Family was a secret place of the Ferguson Family. Outside, there were servants patrolling and traps. Naturally, the interior would not be completely defenseless. There were even more traps. Not only that, there was a knight of the Ferguson Family who acted as the guardian of the tower all year round. He lived in a secret room and guarded the family library. Once an outsider intruded, he would immediately trigger an alarm.
As the lighthouse keeper of this generation, Jon Ferguson was a martial arts fanatic and romantic when he was young. He became a grand knight before the age of 30 and did a lot of things for the family, both in the light and in the dark. Although he married his wife in a political marriage and it took less than half a year for them to get married, the couple was very close to each other and loved each other very much.
However, it was a pity that when Jon Ferguson was 31 years old, his wife's first child died in childbirth due to dystocia. Jon Ferguson missed his late wife too much. Not only did he never remarry, but he was also unable to recover from the setback. His entire person became dispirited.
When the previous guardian of the Ferguson family library died of old age 20 years ago, Jon Ferguson, who had no children, decided to make a final contribution to the family and applied to become the new guardian of the library. From then on, he lived in the secret room of the tower and guarded the secrets of the Ferguson family.
As the heir of the family, Connor was still in Flosino. He was obsessed with the various ancient books and documents recorded by the Ferguson family in the library. He had spent a lot of time in the library before, so he was naturally familiar with his granduncle, Jon Ferguson. The two of them had a very good relationship!
After feeding Jon Ferguson the pill to protect his Spirit Sea, Connor carefully searched Jon Ferguson's soul. Unsurprisingly, in Jon Ferguson's mind, Connor found a Paredes restriction.
Seeing this, Connor could not help but smile bitterly. He slowly withdrew his mind power from Jon Ferguson's Spirit Sea and used some hypnotism to erase Jon Ferguson's memory. After that, Connor began to search the secret room.
If Reyes wanted to set up a gift and restriction mechanism for himself in the library of the Ferguson family, Jon Ferguson, as the guardian of the tower, was a person he could not surpass. The Paredes restriction in Jon Ferguson's mind was the best proof that Connor did not come to the wrong place. Reyes's gift and the restriction mechanism around it were hidden in this tower!
As for why Connor did not try to break the restriction but chose to give up after discovering the Paredes restriction in Jon Ferguson's mind, it was not because of their childhood affection. Connor did not want to let Jon Ferguson risk his life for him to break the restriction.
After all, the current Connor Ferguson was not the same person as the young master of the Ferguson family in the past. Their childhood affection in front of Connor was indeed a little …
Moreover, given Jon Ferguson's loyalty and dedication to the Ferguson family, if he knew that someone had placed a restriction in his mind, it was very likely that he would pose a great threat to the Ferguson family. Connor believed that even if he did not say it, Jon Ferguson would be willing to take the risk and let Connor break the restriction in his mind.
Therefore, the risk was not the reason why Connor gave up. Connor had just broken part of the Paredes restriction in Danilo's mind. Logically speaking, Connor should be very confident when he encountered the Paredes restriction again. So why did Connor choose to give up?
The answer was actually very simple. Jon Ferguson was too weak!
