Wizard Earl

Chapter 1053 Philo's Test

"Besides trapping the enemy, the first function of this Anseron Maze is to generate some green mist. This green mist has a certain effect of blocking mental perception. Under normal circumstances, this green mist would naturally not be able to stop Milik."

"However, within the magic circle, Milik's mental power will be severely restricted. Therefore, under my control, you, Philo, can hide in the green mist and launch an attack on Milik at any time, or use this green mist to evade Milik's attacks."

"Besides the green mist, when I set up this Anseron Maze, I also specifically targeted Milik's cultivation of ice-attribute energy by adding six Crimson Flame Demon Lizard magic cores to the array. With the help of these six magic cores, the power of Milik's ice-attribute energy spells cast within the array will be naturally restrained, at least reduced by 20% to 30%!"

"Furthermore, the reason I let you rest for half an hour, Philo, wasn't just a random arrangement; I had my reasons for doing so!" Connor smiled, pointed to the magic circle, and said calmly, "Milik is inside right now, frantically attacking the array, trying to escape!"

"Even if Milik has a potion to recover, his attacks can't last long under the weakening and restriction of the magic circle. In any case, after half an hour, the energy in his body will reach the first point of weakness. At that time, it will be the best opportunity for you, Philo, to avenge the days he has been chasing you!" Connor's tone was very decisive, and he was obviously very confident in his plan.

After hearing Connor's account and seeing how many methods he had to help him, Philo considered it for a while. Although he remained silent, one could still see a hint of interest in his expression.

Seeing that Philo was no longer resisting entering the magic circle as she had at the beginning, Connor, knowing that his plan was only a little bit away from success, deliberately added fuel to the fire and provoked Philo, saying, "Philo, I can say that I have been more than kind to you. If you are not even willing to take this little risk, then I have nothing more to say..."

After saying this, Connor turned around, making a move to leave. Although he knew Connor was just trying to provoke him and didn't really intend to leave, Philo had no other choice at this point. He needed Connor's help to deal with the troublesome Milick, so he could only helplessly say, "Connor Ferguson, wait a moment, I have one last question!"

Do you have any other questions?

Seeing that Philo had indeed called him back, Connor sneered inwardly, then turned around and asked:

"After I enter the magic circle and kill Milik, how should we divide his belongings?" Firo asked in a low voice, his eyes fixed on Connor.

As soon as Philo asked the question, Connor immediately became alert. He realized that although Philo seemed to be asking him how to divide the spoils of war on Milick, the question actually concealed a deadly intent. If he answered carelessly, Philo might not only enter the magic circle to kill Milick, but the two of them might even end up fighting each other right there!

"Philo, don't even think about eating all this yourself. I know the situation inside this magic circle perfectly well. Whatever he has, I want half of it!" Connor deliberately acted greedily, using an uncompromising tone to show his firm attitude.

Despite Connor's greedy behavior, strangely, Philo seemed satisfied with Connor's statement. He gave Connor a deep look, then said nothing, sat down to the side, and began to resume his cultivation, preparing to enter the magic circle to fight Milick.

Having successfully overcome this difficulty, Connor breathed a slight sigh of relief. Milik was a genius wizard of the Storm Church who had obtained the Storm Token, which symbolized Cardinal Hummels' power in the Storm Church. He was highly valued by Hummels. This was evident from the fact that he had completed the near-impossible feat of limb regeneration in just three days. It was clear that he had a lot of treasures in his spatial ring!

However, although Milik is undoubtedly very wealthy, that doesn't mean that Connor and Filo will gain much benefit from killing him!

After all, most of the treasures on Milik's body are related to the Church of Storms. No one knows if the Church of Storms has tampered with any of these things. This has happened more than once in the wizarding world before. Some dark wizards, after killing wizards of the Church of Storms, coveted the enchanted items or other things on their bodies and kept them for their own use instead of discarding them.

The result was that the Church of Storms used these items to trace their origins and eliminate them one by one. Therefore, to avoid this predicament, the fate of most of the items in his spatial ring was that neither Connor nor Filo would want them, and they would be completely destroyed. Of course, if something truly invaluable and desirable appeared, that would be a different story; if the benefits were significant enough, Connor and Milik would certainly be willing to take some risks…

So in this situation, Philo's question just now, which seemed to be about the spoils of war, was actually a test for Connor. Philo was using this question to test what Connor was thinking, whether he really intended to kill only Milik, or whether he planned to lure him into the magic circle and then kill both of them inside the magic circle.

If Connor appears very generous and doesn't care about what's on Milik's body at all, then Philo might think that Connor is using the fake snake to lure him into the magic circle to harm him. In that case, Philo would most likely refuse to enter the circle and fight Milik. In extreme cases, he might even strike first and attack Connor.

It was precisely because Connor was aware of Philo's probing intentions that he deliberately acted greedily, making himself appear extremely covetous of the treasure in Milik's spatial ring, in order to mislead Philo and dispel his doubts. Judging from the fact that Philo did not refute him, sat down to recover his magic power, and prepared to enter the magic circle, Connor's approach was clearly successful.

In Connor's eyes, Firo's probing was nothing unusual. After all, he and Firo had joined forces in the treacherous Navas Forest because of their shared interests in the possible remnants related to Reyes and the threat posed by the Church of Storms.
