62: Miral's Family Magic Book

It was the middle of the night.

After recovering, Ron shifted his attention to the intelligence.

“Hmm? Repair the Sea of Souls?”

Ron raised an eyebrow, his gaze becoming somewhat strange.

“Could it be that Gavin’s Sea of Souls has a problem?”

Ron pondered, this Sea of Souls was the source of a mage’s energy, just like the Life Seed that knights used to store their battle qi.

Once something went wrong, it could lead to a regression in cultivation and complete loss of power at best, or death on the spot at worst.

Especially the Sea of Souls, which involved the brain’s nerves.

If it was damaged, it would be even harder to repair.

According to Lorlin’s notes, most potions capable of healing the Sea of Souls were at least Tier 3.

And the price of a bottle of Tier 3 potion, even the cheapest kind, would be over a hundred gold coins.

Moreover, potions for healing the Sea of Souls were almost the most precious among those of the same tier.

Their price could easily multiply several or even a dozen times over.

“No wonder he conducted illegal human experiments.”

Ron’s eyes flashed; he felt he had almost certainly guessed the truth.

Because this kind of potion for repairing the Sea of Souls was not only expensive but also had no supply on the market.

Therefore, Gavin, merely a Potion Master apprentice, probably couldn’t save up that much money at all.

Furthermore, even if he had the money, his low status meant he wouldn’t find a way to buy it.

In desperation, he could only conduct research himself.

However, to develop a suitable potion, he needed to conduct a large number of experiments and find people to test the medicine, repeatedly adjusting it based on its effects.

However, this kind of potion involving the soul was always very dangerous.

At best, it could cause headaches and unconsciousness; at worst, it could lead to idiocy and paralysis.

Therefore, it was impossible for normal people to come forward for testing.

“Gavin used his identity as a doctor to secretly conduct human experiments on patients when they came for consultations, thereby obtaining relevant data…”

Ron shook his head; if such an act were discovered, the Potion Masters Association would definitely take action.

At that time, losing his Potion Master status would be secondary.

The important thing was that it would be handed over to internal high-level officials or local public security departments for handling.

“The best outcome would be decades in prison; if the consequences are severe… then it would be the death penalty.”

Ron thought to himself, his expression calm, without any emotional fluctuations.

After all, since Gavin had committed such heinous acts, his death was deserved.

So, Ron collected himself and continued reading.

“Wait, Mirar is still hiding a magic book?”

Ron was stunned, then overjoyed.

“This is truly a pillow delivered when one is sleepy; Mirar, you truly know how to court death!”

He had just activated his Mental Energy and already obtained information about a magic book.

Moreover, it was in the hands of Mirar, a defenseless woman.

Ron couldn’t help but grin, silently laughing.

However, he wasn’t careless, after all, this woman came from a noble family, so it was hard to say if she had any means of retaliation.

Therefore, it was best to proceed silently, following the previous plan.

“The time is the day after tomorrow, then I must prepare well.”

Ron saw the third piece of intelligence and immediately realized an opportunity had arrived.

So, he planned for a while longer before looking at the remaining intelligence.

“The highest combat power in Kura City is an Honor Knight?”

Ron frowned slightly; an Honor Knight was not so easy to deal with!

On the God-Given Continent, after a knight obtained royal certification and became a formal knight, the next two ranks were Armed Knight and Honor Knight.

An Armed Knight, as the name suggested, could arm themselves with battle qi.

They could not only condense battle qi into a layer of armor on their body surface but also release battle qi over long distances through knight battle techniques.

If an Armed Knight was the backbone of the kingdom’s combat power, then an Honor Knight, one level higher, had stepped into the realm of the kingdom’s high-end combat power.

Honor Knights were also called Knights of Honor, and according to the ancient tradition passed down through generations of the kingdom, only after becoming an Honor Knight were they qualified to contend for or inherit noble titles and family honors.

Therefore, unless by special royal decree, all nobles in the kingdom, even the lowest-ranking baron, had to be an Honor Knight to serve.

“I wonder about the specific identity of this Honor Knight?”

“Is he a friend or foe? Can I use him?”

Ron fell into deep thought, deciding that his next “search term” would be this Honor Knight or the high-end combat power of Kura City.

“Twenty formal mages? That’s not many.”

The content of the sixth piece of intelligence did not surprise Ron.

Although mages held noble status and were few in number, Kura City was, after all, a large city with a population of over a hundred thousand.

There were hundreds of strong individuals above the rank of Apprentice Knight alone.

In comparison, twenty mages truly wasn’t many.

“Heh, the observers near the Barto Family have also withdrawn?”

Ron looked at the seventh piece of intelligence and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“It seems it’s time to go to the Barto Family and retrieve the items in the secret room.”

Ron pondered for a moment, deciding to infiltrate the Barto Family tomorrow night.

With his current strength as an Apprentice Knight, coupled with his proficiency in the Wild Wolf Breathing Technique, even if he couldn’t be completely silent, he wouldn’t be easily discovered.

There was nothing more to say about the remaining pieces of intelligence.

At this point, Ron felt sleepy and went straight to sleep.

Time flew, and it was the afternoon of the next day.

Ron once again went to the wilderness under the pretense of looking for herbs.

By now, Litton was completely numb to Ron’s repeated performances.

As soon as he heard Ron wanted to go out, besides reminding him to be careful, he said nothing more.

At this time, Ron arrived at the stone house.

As soon as he entered, he felt something strange on his face.

So, Ron took off the alchemical mask and found that the magic crystal in the center of his brow had turned gray.

“Has the energy been completely depleted…”

Ron muttered to himself; he had made an estimate before.

The energy crystal could last for about twenty hours.

And for the past half-month, to be cautious, he had worn this mask whenever he went out for errands or shopping.

It was quite good that it lasted until now.

So, Ron took out the box storing the energy crystals.

From the six crystals, he took one out to replace it.

Because these energy crystals were only the lowest-grade Tier 1 energy crystals, they could only support the mask’s transformation for about ten hours.

“Next…”

At this moment, Ron reached into his embrace and pulled out the sealed coin and the now inert charm.

“It’s time to uncover the secret of this sealed item…”

Ron’s gaze narrowed slightly, he thought to himself.
