Wizard Earl

Chapter 142 Conte Appears!!!

"Elena, you can go now. Leave this to me!"

Just as Elena was bracing herself and glancing at the secret society disciples who had stormed into the apartment and were fiercely fighting with the church arbitrators, a blond middle-aged man suddenly appeared beside her.

Elena showed no surprise at the appearance of the blond middle-aged man. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and whispered apologetically to him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jovic, I've fallen into the secret society's trap. I can no longer use the Storm Staff..."

The blond middle-aged man known as Jovic seemed unconcerned by Elena's apology and explanation. He simply waved his hand and said, "Even I can't tell if the spear the professor crafted is truly the Spear of Guram. Besides, even if you weren't fooled, you're still quite far from being a level two wizard when you're fully wielding the Storm Staff. Since these dark wizards from the Secret Society dared to come and kill us, they must have been fully prepared. One more or one less of you doesn't make much difference..."

"Jovic, it's been a long time since we parted ways in the New World, I never expected to meet you here today!" Before Jovic could finish speaking, their eyes were fixed on what was right in front of them, where a tall, brooding, brown-haired man was walking towards them!

"Conte, is that you? Your secret society is really confident! You didn't even let some mysterious professor do it himself?" Upon seeing the newcomer, Jovic did not hide the puzzled look on his face. Clearly, he was somewhat disappointed by the appearance of the person in front of him.

Mr. Conte, who was regarded as the number three figure in the secret society by the Church of Storms, seemed unconcerned about Jovic's reaction after seeing him. As if chatting with an old friend, he shrugged slightly and said with a smile, "Professor, he should be dealing with that old fox Abidal from your church now."

Jovic nodded regretfully upon hearing this, and said with a hint of self-deprecation, "It seems that in your secret society's eyes, I'm still not as good as Abidal..."

"Hey, what are you saying? It makes it sound like I'm weak. I'm only a tiny bit worse than the professor!" Conte said, making a tiny bit gesture with his finger.

Jovic shook his head, his gaze towards Conte growing increasingly solemn. He said in a deep voice, "Back in the New World, I greatly admired your ability to escape unscathed from the pursuit of me and Jiménez, the two Punishers of God. It is my honor to experience your Illusionary Magic today!"

Hearing Jovic's "compliment," Conte chuckled and said in a low voice, "Back then, you and that bitch from the Correa family teamed up—three second-level wizards—to plot against me. If I hadn't been alert, I would have fallen for your trap long ago!"

As soon as Conte finished speaking, countless pale blue rays of light appeared around him. These rays rapidly arranged and combined, constructing a complex and intricate magic circle in just an instant. At the same time, Jovic's gaze swept over Elena, who had remained silent beside him.

Although Jovic didn't speak, Elena undoubtedly understood the meaning in his eyes. Knowing that she couldn't help Jovic at the moment, Elena withdrew without hesitation.

Conte, seemingly trapped within the magic circle by Jovic, sighed somewhat boredly and said indifferently, "Another storm magic circle. After all these years, can't your church research some other witchcraft secrets?"

"Emperor Raul once said a philosophy: 'One trick is all you need to succeed!'" Seeing Elena withdraw, Jovic, no longer holding back, said in a deep voice:

"You think you can rely on one trick? Then let me see how skilled you are at using the Storm Array!" After Conte finished speaking, his body, which was trapped in Jovic's Storm Array, turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared without a trace.

"The Illusionary Demon Technique is indeed extraordinary..." Jovic's eyes shone brightly, and countless storms were generated around him!

"Valga, I now have Soul Crystals and Spirit Nourishing Pearls. What kind of medicine should I use to treat my mental trauma?" Connor, sitting on the floor in the secret society's safe house beneath Sassuolo Wharf, asked Varga beside him.

In the safe house, Connor briefly laid the groundwork before telling Varga about his psychological trauma. Because pharmacy and medicine have a lot in common, basically every pharmacist is also a physician.

"Connor, has your mental trauma drained your mental strength?" Varga took the delicate hand from Connor's head, not answering his question directly, but speaking with some concern:

"Uh...that's right!" After a slight pause, Connor admitted everything to Varga.

"Connor, you cultivate the mental attribute. Overdrawing your mental power will have a huge impact on your future. Promise me that you will never overdraw your mental power unless you are in a life-or-death situation, okay?" Varga stroked Connor's face with her hand, her heartache and worry evident on her face.

"Valga, don't worry, I'm not stupid. Why would I do something that would kill a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of my own if it weren't absolutely necessary?" Connor smiled, squeezing Valga's soft, boneless hand to comfort her.

On the surface, Connor showed no flaws, but his mind was racing. From Varga's words, he caught something that had seemed off earlier. If he remembered correctly, he had never told Varga that he cultivated the mental attribute. How did Varga know that?

The thought had barely formed in Connor's mind when he deduced a reason: he and Varga both belonged to the same secret society, and Reyes seemed to have given Varga a spatial ring. From this connection, Varga knew that she cultivated the mental attribute, which theoretically made perfect sense…

"Hmm!" Varga responded obediently, then said, "Connor, your current condition is a typical case of mental damage caused by overdrawing your mental energy. Perhaps because this is your first offense, or perhaps because you had the Nourishing Spirit Pearl to protect you during the golden period of treatment within the first 24 hours after the injury, your mental trauma is somewhat severe, but as long as you take Greenland medicine for a long time, a full recovery is not difficult..."
