Although Jon Ferguson was a Grand Knight, in the eyes of ordinary people, he was only slightly stronger than ordinary people. He had not formed his Spirit Sea, nor did he have the power of the Will.
Although Connor could break part of the Paredes restriction in Danilo's Spirit Sea, it was based on the fact that Danilo was an advanced Apprentice Sorcerer. He had cultivated the power of the Will, and his Spirit Sea was very stable. Even if his Spirit Sea was searched by Connor, it would not collapse immediately.
Even if Jon Ferguson had the protection of the pill, as long as Connor tried to break the Paredes restriction in his mind, his mind would immediately collapse because it could not withstand Connor's power of the Will!
Since there was no way to break the Paredes restriction in his mind, then he might as well not harm the life of a loyal member of the Ferguson Family!
After rummaging in the secret room for a while, Connor finally found a bronze key in a secret compartment. After checking it and confirming that this bronze key was the one he had seen in his memory, Connor's face became serious.
After obtaining the bronze key, Connor's face changed, and he turned around and walked downstairs in the family library. Following his childhood memories, Connor came to the first floor of the library, found the last row of bookshelves, and pressed down on the 'Kahman Empire Geographical Illustration' on the bookshelf with the force of the Ferguson Family's Breathing Technique.
Under the effect of Connor's force, the 'Kaman Empire Geographical Illustrated Handbook', which was more than five hundred pages thick, was directly pressed into the wall by him. What followed next was an unbelievable scene. The bookshelf that was integrated into one body was actually split into two under Connor's gaze, revealing an extremely ancient stone door. Compared to the secret door on the second floor, this stone door was clearly much tighter. In the middle of this stone door, there was a small hole that looked like a keyhole.
When he saw the stone door appear, Connor knew that many of the Ferguson family's assets that couldn't see the light of day were hidden under the stone door. As the heir, he had followed Butler Martinez down here a few times.
This tightly sealed secret room was more than 10 meters underground, protected by soil and rocks. Even with Connor's current power of the Will, if he did not know the location of the secret room, it would be very difficult to find it.
Because very few people came to the secret room, and because it was well sealed, if Reyes's gift and the restriction were in this library, then the underground secret room would undoubtedly be the first choice!
Realizing that the thing he was looking for was likely to be hidden under the stone door, Conner took a deep breath, and took out his Castiar Staff from his Space Ring. Then, he took out the bronze key that he found in Jon Ferguson's secret chamber, and inserted it into the keyhole of the stone door with a guarded expression.
"Da da da!"
Following a few strange sounds, the stone door was slowly opened by Connor, revealing a flight of stairs that led underground. Pulling out the bronze key from the keyhole, Connor held the Castilla Staff in his hand and slowly walked down the stairs. After stepping into the stairs, the stone door quietly closed.
Connor seemed to have expected the stone door to close, so he did not panic at all. He continued to make his way down the stairs cautiously. Even though there was no more light in the stairs as soon as the stone door closed, Connor did not take out a kerosene lamp from his Space Ring to illuminate the place with his powerful mental strength and perception.
There were not many stairs, only thirty-three in total. After Connor walked down the last flight of stairs, he arrived at the secret room of the Ferguson Family. He saw that it was a basement filled with all kinds of things.
The things in the basement included fifty of the latest flintlock rifles that the Kaman Empire prohibited individuals from possessing, five large boxes of bullets, a hundred gold bars with their markings erased, some books that recorded the Sorcerer World, the real internal account books of the Ferguson Family's various businesses, records of bribery to the Empire's officials and members of the Church, and so on. These were all very important things to the Ferguson Family, but they could not see the light of day.
Without a doubt, this secret room was the reason why the Ferguson Family was able to stand strong despite its decline day by day!
Connor carefully scanned these things with his Will, but did not find anything out of the ordinary. This surprised Connor. Could it be that he was wrong, and Reyes's gift and restrictions were not in the secret room?
Thinking of this, Connor's suspicions grew even stronger. After a quick thought, Connor carried out a more detailed inspection of the items in the secret room. However, after ten minutes, the inspection was the same as the first time. The result was the same as the first inspection. Nothing was found …
Connor was puzzled and a trace of disappointment appeared in his heart when he saw that both inspections were fruitless.
Although Connor had always been wary of his mentor, Reyes, he did not use the potions that Reyes had given him even when he was trying to break through to become a rank 1 Magus. However, after suffering a small loss in the battle between the two veteran rank 1 Magi, Connor was even more eager to improve his strength. This also led to Connor's anticipation of the "breakthrough gift" that Reyes had given him. He hoped that it could improve his strength!
However, judging from the current situation, Connor seemed to be overthinking. He was still a distance away from Reyes' gift.
Having found nothing, Connor shook his head and wanted to return to the secret room. However, when he walked up the thirty-three steps and knocked on the inner side of the stone door to reopen it according to the method in his memory, Connor was surprised to find that the stone door, which should have been opened again, did not move at all!
This discovery instantly made Connor Ferguson feel a sense of danger, and he immediately became alert!
In the darkness without a trace of light, Connor's mind raced. This stone door to the secret room of the Ferguson Family would not be unlocked for no reason. He had just used the key to open the stone door, which meant that the stone door was not broken. The method of opening the stone door in his memory was a method that had been passed down in the Ferguson Family for hundreds of years. Connor had never heard of this method being changed …
