Wizard Earl

Chapter 120 Snake Eyes Appear!

"Of course, I need about half a minute to activate it. During this time, I cannot be disturbed in any way. And for a whole day after being possessed by the demonic blood, I will be severely injured and unable to use magic!" Margaret nodded and said.

"Three minutes..." Connor fell into deep thought. Margaret could only maintain the advanced wizard apprentice state for three minutes, which was not a long time. Obviously, she could not rely on this demonic blood possession to confront Snake Eyes head-on. The best option was to catch Snake Eyes off guard by surprise!

After careful consideration, Connor solemnly made his promise to Margaret: "Margaret, for the thirty seconds you activate the Blood Possession, I will block the snake eye for you and will not allow you to be disturbed by it in the slightest. But remember, the first sneak attack is the most effective!"

The two carefully discussed their plan for tomorrow, confirming every detail. To avoid being picked off one by one by Snake Eyes, Margaret didn't return to her own room. Instead, she and Connor each occupied one side of Connor's room to rest and recharge.

Leaning back in his recliner, Connor squinted, gently stroking his briefcase. Whether he could hold off Mr. Snake Eyes tomorrow depended entirely on the contents of this briefcase.

The following morning, the Ivanka arrived on time and docked at San Jose Island, its first stop after leaving Rune Island. Because San Jose Island is a major stop, the Ivanka cruise ship will stay at the San Jose Island pier from morning until noon. At noon, the Ivanka will set sail from San Jose Island to continue its unfinished journey.

"Fifty meters to the left rear!" Following the disembarking crowd, Connor, using the bodies of those around him as cover, suddenly grabbed Margaret's delicate hand and quickly wrote on her palm:

When Connor grabbed her arm, Margaret thought he had gone mad and angrily tried to pull her hand away. However, when she felt the writing Connor had made on her palm, her anger instantly vanished. But she wasn't foolish enough to turn around and check or use her mental powers to probe. Instead, she quietly helped up the little girl who had fallen beside her.

"Thank you, thank you!" The little girl's parent, who had been helped up by Margaret, thanked Margaret repeatedly. Margaret smiled and patted the little girl's cute head. Taking this opportunity, Margaret's eyes subtly and naturally glanced at the area Connor had mentioned.

Upon closer inspection, the unknown that Connor mentioned consisted of more than a dozen people, but Margaret's eyes immediately locked onto one of them: a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap and whose bare skin beneath a gray robe was covered in tattoos.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Margaret quickly looked away and wrote on Connor's palm, "Snake Eyes?"

Connor glanced at Margaret, smiled but said nothing. Instead, he led Margaret out from the dock and hailed a taxi waiting for business around the dock.

"To the Newcastle Beer House!" Connor said as he and Margaret boarded the carriage, handing the coachman a one-shilling note and stating their destination.

"Understood, sir!" The coachman happily accepted the banknotes from Connor, cracked his whip, and began his work.

The carriage had been running for about five minutes when, looking at Margaret's suspicious face inside the carriage, Connor took out four or five small paper packets from his spatial ring and waved them at Margaret, signaling her to take out the same packets as well. Margaret then seemed to realize what was happening and immediately took out identical packets from her own spatial ring.

Opening the carriage window, Connor and Margaret tossed their small paper packets out evenly. After closing the window, Connor smiled and said, "You saw that tattooed man too, right? He kept glancing at us from the moment he appeared, but I wasn't sure if he was Snake Eyes. However, when I mentioned Newcastle Beer House earlier, his expression was noticeably different… so if I'm not mistaken, he should be Snake Eyes!"

Margaret nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked again, "Will your powder be of any use?"

"To be honest, this is the first time I've used these powders, so I don't know what kind of practical effects they will have. But I can tell you that this Bewitching Powder was created by an alchemist who is a formal wizard or above. According to his records, as long as one's mental strength has not reached the level of a formal wizard, one will be affected by the Bewitching Powder to varying degrees. I think it's unrealistic to completely get rid of Snake Eyes' pursuit with the Bewitching Powder, but it's still possible to delay him and disrupt his pursuit of you and me!" As soon as he finished speaking, Connor suddenly sprang up and slashed hard at the coachman who was listening to his conversation with Margaret.

The coachman was an ordinary man; how could he withstand Connor's knife strike? He didn't even utter a sound before collapsing dead on the spot. Connor took out a bottle of strong acid from his spatial ring and poured it on the coachman's corpse, whispering, "I was originally planning to spare your life, but remember this in your next life: never be curious about things you shouldn't know!"

Glancing at the corpse that had turned into a puddle of liquid, Connor said to Margaret in a deep voice, "Wait for me at the designated place. Once my black mist appears, you can prepare to be possessed by the demonic blood!"

Nodding, Margaret turned and left, disappearing into the dense woods on either side of the dirt road.

Seeing Margaret disappear into the woods, Connor retrieved his briefcase from his spatial ring and placed it beside him. He then personally drove the carriage back to the Ivanka cruise ship.

The Bewitching Powder is an alchemical product created by Reyes, as recorded in "Reyes Alchemy." Its main function is to interfere with mental power. Connor has great faith in the abilities of his mysterious mentor. Since the book states that anyone whose mental power has not reached the level of a formal wizard will be affected by the Bewitching Powder, Connor believes that Snake Eyes, who is following them, will definitely be affected if his mental power has not reached the level of a formal wizard!

The longer the Mystic Powder takes to stalemate, the more time Connor has to set up his defenses, and the greater his chances of winning will naturally be!
