Wizard Earl

Chapter 207 Snake-Eyed Junior Sister

Since the person hiding in the shadows could avoid triggering his own magical traps in his rented house, the magical traps he set up in the forest would also be unable to stop him. The reason Connor went to such lengths was simply to make the act more convincing and create the illusion that he had actually discovered a magic stone mine here!

Three days later, in the dead of night, Connor, who was meditating in a spot in the primeval forest, suddenly opened his eyes, a slight smile appearing on his angular face. His fish had finally taken the bait…

Connor took out a crystal ball from his spatial ring and gently touched it with his finger. A scene from somewhere in the forest where he was was suddenly displayed on the crystal ball. It showed a beautiful woman wearing a green robe, who was walking carefully. As Connor had expected, all his magical traps and mechanisms were no longer effective.

Looking at the beautiful woman in the crystal ball, Connor's smile turned into a mocking one. No matter how cunning you are, in the end you still fell for my fishhook.

Connor put away the crystal ball and unleashed the full power of the silver pendant, illuminating his black magic robe. Instantly, Connor's aura almost completely disappeared. He now demanded to meet this uninvited guest.

Avilova, now traversing the primeval forest, was extremely excited. She and Snake-Eyes, the unfortunate high-ranking wizard apprentice who had died at the hands of Connor and Margaret, were both members of the Black Wizards Order of Benfica. Moreover, she was Snake-Eyes' junior sister, studying under a formal wizard of the Benfica, just like him. However, despite being from the same order, their relationship was extremely cold.

Although Averova practiced a different meditation method than Snake Eyes, being from the same school, she was well aware of the abilities Snake Eyes' meditation possessed. While Snake Eyes' disappearance surprised her, she was more concerned about why he had stayed in such a remote and shabby place as Tunguska City for almost a year. In her memory, her senior brother wasn't a diligent ascetic; he was more obsessed with the bright lights and bustling city life…

After Snake Eyes's soul lamp went out in the Benficami Order, confirming his death, Avilova arrived in Tunguska City. Sensing something amiss, she found Snake Eyes's lair in Tunguska. Although there were no clear traces in Snake Eyes's lair, various clues pointed to something extraordinary: the reason her senior brother Snake Eyes stayed in Tunguska City and refused to leave was because Snake Eyes had found a magic stone mine using his own abilities, and he had captured some slaves who were mining it.

Avilova was thrilled to receive this news. Such an opportunity as a magic stone mine would drive any wizard crazy. However, unfortunately, although she had many clues about Snake Eyes finding a magic stone mine, none of these clues revealed the exact location of the mine.

Although the exact location of the magic stone mine is unknown, Avilova remained in Tunguska City, drawn by its allure, and diligently searched for any trace of it. Initially, Avilova intended to search alone, but after numerous unsuccessful attempts, she was forced to recently make contact with Ryan of the Glazer family, an information broker.

When she presented Ryan with the portrait of Snake Eyes, Ryan was somewhat surprised, but he still quoted a price that infuriated Avilova—six hundred gold pounds. Avilova refused Ryan's request without hesitation. Then she chose a very direct method: she captured Ryan at his home and searched his soul to find out everything, including that Connor, who was using the alias Erikson, was also looking for her senior brother, Snake Eyes.

Having failed to find any magic stone mines, Avilova pinned her hopes on Connor. She was the one who sneaked into Connor's rented apartment while he was away, hoping to find some clues. However, she never expected that her supposedly discreet operation would backfire, making Connor realize that someone was watching him.

Following Connor to the southern suburbs, Avilova was curious why Connor hadn't gone to Lake Mercedes in the western suburbs as Ryan's intelligence indicated, but instead came to the southern suburbs. However, she still chose to follow Connor and secretly trailed him into this primeval forest. During this time, Avilova didn't know the specific purpose of the "magic-detecting staff" that Connor was holding, but she could still recognize that it was an instrument that could detect magic stone mines. This greatly strengthened her confidence in following Connor to find magic stone mines.

Seeing that Connor had set up magical traps in the primeval forest and then disappeared, Avilova felt that her hard work had finally paid off; the magic stone mine was beckoning her. So, without further hesitation, she chose to kill "Mr. Erikson," the very person who had helped her find the magic stone mine!

After traveling some distance through the primeval forest, Avirova had successfully avoided all the magical traps, but her woman's intuition told her that there was a hint of danger. She became unusually sensitive, and her womanly nature made her somewhat hesitant.

However, at that moment, Averova suddenly felt as if she had been hit three times in succession. A sharp pain began to shoot through her head, and she started to feel dizzy. Her overall condition deteriorated rapidly.

"Oh no, this is a trap!" Having experienced Connor's mental shock, Avilova immediately realized that her intuition was right. The "Erikson" she had regarded as prey had actually set a trap for her here. Now, she, the hunter, had become his prey!

Averova acted quickly, immediately biting her tongue with a determined heart. This act of fighting poison with poison helped Averova regain her senses. However, to her great dismay, once she regained her clarity, Averova was shocked to find herself in a dark blue magic circle. The magic circle was filled with mist, as if some kind of monster was hiding inside. Moreover, her mental and magical powers were greatly affected within the magic circle.

Looking at the woman in the emerald green robe who was trapped in the Castia magic circle, Connor frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes!
