Wizard Earl

While Connor couldn't imagine any treasure or potion that could help Milik regenerate his limbs within three days, he believed that some wondrous items might exist in this world that could help users achieve rapid limb regeneration...

If Milick were truly in this situation, and had used some extremely rare treasure or potion unknown to Connor, it would be possible for him to regenerate his limbs within three days, although Connor considered this possibility to be extremely low.

However, Philo's guess completely rejected the idea. The most likely possibility Connor could think of was that Philo believed that the reason Milick was able to regenerate his severed limbs within three days was not because he used any treasure or took any magic potion!

Although Philo didn't say it outright, it was essentially the same thing: Philo believed that Milick's ability to regenerate his limbs within three days was not due to external factors, but rather to changes within Milick himself. This explained why Milick didn't exhibit the special energy fluctuations that come from consuming rare treasures.

Although Connor subconsciously believed, based on his experience, that Philo's guess was extremely absurd, according to Philo's guess, this situation might occur in a third-level wizard with unpredictable abilities, but you have to know that Milik is a first-level wizard, which is a long way from the level of a third-level wizard!

Logically speaking, if Philo wanted Connor's help to deal with the threat posed by Milick, he should have chosen a convincing reason to explain to Connor, trying to convince him and gain his assistance. Instead, he was telling Connor a ridiculous story, like a mere anecdote.

But now that Philo can openly and seriously tell Connor such absurd statements, it seems that Philo might not be deceiving Connor. Milick might genuinely have regenerated his limb within three days on his own, growing back the arm that was severed by the alchemical bomb...

As Connor pondered and hesitated under Philo's watchful gaze, the gray mist he had released and which had permeated the surroundings began to thin over time. However, the next second, a deep, powerful bear roar echoed from the nearby woods.

"Roar... Roar..."

The next second after the bear's roar, an extremely shrill scream echoed throughout the forest. The scream was cut short halfway through, and without a doubt, another arbitrator of the Storm Church had perished under the gaping maw of the Blackblood Fox Bear.

Connor and Filo, who were stuck in a stalemate, both changed their expressions upon hearing this commotion. Filo immediately wanted to say something to Connor, but Connor preempted him, saying, "Filo, I understand your purpose completely, but this is a matter of great importance, and I can't give you a definite answer right now. So you need to give me time to consider!"

"Take this first. I'll contact you through this. No matter what, I'll give you a definite answer in a day. As for the Blackblood Fox Bear right behind us, let's each run for our lives. Put everything else aside for now and talk about it when we're safe!" As soon as he finished speaking, Connor took out a metal token from his spatial ring and tossed it to Philo, who was standing opposite him.

Having done this, Connor ignored Firo and, with a flash of his black magic robe, fled southeast at top speed.

Seeing Connor about to run away, Firo, who hadn't yet received a definite answer from Connor, instinctively wanted to stop him after receiving the metal token Connor threw to him. However, he hadn't yet lost his temper or reason. Thinking of the Blackblood Fox Bears not far behind him, Firo hesitated. Taking advantage of Firo's hesitation, Connor, empowered by his black magic robe, fled swiftly, becoming a small black dot and disappearing in the southeast direction.

By this time, even if Philo wanted to intervene, it was too late; he was too far away to stop Connor from escaping.

Seeing this, Philo didn't waste her time. She glared hatefully at Connor's disappearing figure, then turned her gaze to the metal token Connor had just thrown at her. She muttered to herself, "I doubt you can shake me off!" Then, with a wary look, she glanced behind her in the direction of the bear's roar, and quickly cast a spell, transforming into a streak of deep red light as she fled south.

Although encountering Philo and wasting some precious time in his discussions with him, Connor, as a first-level wizard, still managed to leave the Storm Church Arbitrators, who were only wizard apprentices, far behind due to his speed and the enhancement of his black magic robes. He turned them into "meat shields" to prevent them from being chased by the Blackblood Fox Bear.

Under these circumstances, Connor quickly arrived at the small waterfall southeast of the meeting point they had agreed upon when they ran away. To his surprise, there was no one there. He had assumed that, at his suggestion to split up and break out, the other official wizard in Dezelby's group, besides himself, would arrive at the waterfall before him, who had wasted some time with Philo, without any ties or arbitrators to hold him back.

But considering that De Zelby hasn't even arrived here yet, perhaps he still has some sense of responsibility and knows to help his men out!

Connor wasn't left to wait alone at the small waterfall for long. Soon, Connor's keen senses detected a group of people approaching him, and the aura of the leader was none other than Dezerby, whom Connor was somewhat familiar with.

At this moment, Dezelby and his companions looked extremely disheveled, a far cry from the high spirits they had displayed just hours earlier when they began their search in the Navas Forest. However, despite their disheveled state, they were all relatively healthy. Soon, Connor's mental energy focused on the person at the very back of the group…
