Wizard Earl

Even if Milik is lucky and Cardinal Hummels doesn't hold him responsible after the mission fails, he will never again have any regard or trust for Milik. Although this is already an act of leniency, it would still be a huge disaster for Milik.

Since becoming a formal wizard and being valued by Cardinal Hummels, the young and arrogant Milik, believing he had a bright future, has been extremely arrogant and domineering, causing much resentment within the Storm Church and offending countless people.

In this situation, Milik was able to remain unscathed entirely because those he had offended were only keeping quiet out of respect for Hummels, who was a powerful figure in the church. However, once Milik lost Hummels' trust and protection, his fate within the Church of Storms would be predictable. Even if he wasn't killed outright, he would certainly be transferred to a very dangerous location, facing a bleak future and constant threat to his life.

Therefore, given Milik's personality, he absolutely could not accept such an ending. That's why he spared no expense to use the magic of Gesens to heal his injuries and give himself another chance to kill Firo.

Taking a deep breath, Milik forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and then began to analyze the situation. Although he, Milik, was somewhat narrow-minded, he was not stupid. Otherwise, he would not have been able to gain the trust of Cardinal Hummels, obtain the Storm Token symbolizing Hummels' power, and become one of Hummels' representatives in the Church of Storms.

In fact, in the wizarding world, none of the wizards who have cultivated to the level of a first-level wizard are fools or simple-minded individuals; otherwise, in this treacherous world, they would have died countless times already…

After pondering for a long time, a hint of suspicion flashed in Milik's eyes. In his opinion, what Firo had just done could be described as very strange.

In their previous encounters, Milik and Firo fought fiercely. Firo had indeed tried to kill Milik, but all his attempts ended in failure.

Although Milik didn't know what spell Firo had just cast, based on his experience, he judged that since the spell was so powerful and Firo had to harm himself before casting it, it was clear that this kind of spell was not something that could be cast casually. It was most likely Firo's trump card!

If that's the case, then a question that puzzled Milik a lot has come up!

In the previous few times when Firo had murderous intent and wanted to kill Milik, he had never used this trump card spell. Otherwise, Milik would not have been caught off guard and directly hit by the spell, and Firo would not have caught him off guard.

Now that Philo has used this spell to put Milik in a dangerous situation, he has left cleanly and decisively without any intention of kicking him while he's down. This seems a bit abnormal to Milik. If he were Philo, he certainly wouldn't have given himself a chance to recover if he had such an opportunity!

After pondering for a few minutes, Milick had no answer, but he did have some guesses about what Firo had done.

Based on experience, when a wizard uses their most powerful techniques, there will always be some limitations or costs involved. It's just a matter of how big or small those limitations or costs are. If Milik remembers correctly, after Philo, who practiced blood magic, spat out that mouthful of blood at him, his expression immediately became very weak. Clearly, the price Philo paid for using this spell was by no means easy.

From this perspective, it's not incomprehensible that Philo left without taking advantage of his misfortune after severely injuring him. Perhaps Philo didn't want to continue fighting, but rather he was already at his limit and unable to continue.

Realizing this, the doubt in Milik's eyes gradually faded. He then took the snowbird out of the small bag and, guided by the snowbird, immediately gave chase to Filo.

"Connor, where is the array you set up?" Philo, who had just returned from the ravine, looked around at the rocks and trees but couldn't find any trace of the array. Frowning, he asked Connor beside him:

At this moment, Connor Ferguson was sitting cross-legged on a boulder, meditating with his eyes closed. He looked extremely tired. After hearing Milick's question, he opened his eyes, glanced at Philo in front of him, and did not immediately answer Philo's question.

Although Philo appeared unchanged and showed no difference from before, Connor, a psychic wizard with extremely keen intuition, could tell from the subtle clues in Philo's words and actions that he was clearly seriously injured. Philo was simply using some means to cover up his injuries so as not to let Connor discover any ulterior motives.

However, Philo didn't seem to realize that he was, after all, a psychic wizard renowned for his powerful mental abilities. No matter how clever his disguise was, could it possibly escape his notice? Thinking of this, Connor's expression remained calm, but a sense of pride crept into his heart.

Although Connor didn't know exactly what had happened to Philo in the past few hours, judging from Philo's current injuries, he had clearly had a tough fight with Milik. This made Connor curious about what state Milik, who was about to follow, would be in.

Although Connor has discovered the "secret" that Philo is trying to hide, he does not intend to confront Philo, because Philo is still very valuable to him at least for now, and he still needs Philo's help.

"It's good that you didn't find any trace of the formation. If you had, how could you have ambushed Milik here?" Connor said calmly, meeting Philo's gaze.

Hearing Connor say this, Philo was clearly embarrassed, but he couldn't find any trace of the array in the environment, so he could only grunt in annoyance.

"Don't worry! Since I said I could trap Milik, I definitely can, provided you lure him here!" Connor said with a slight smile.

Although no formation was found, seeing Connor's confidence lessened Philo's suspicions considerably. He then said with absolute certainty in a deep voice, "Milik is a mad dog; he'll definitely follow!"
