Wizard Earl

Chapter 220 What are your plans!

Back in his rented apartment, Connor sat on the sofa and fell silent. The current situation had exceeded his expectations, and he really needed to think it over carefully!

"What do you plan to do now?" Looking at the silent Connor, Margaret, her face ashen, finally asked.

Hearing Margaret's question, Connor turned to look at her, breaking the silence and asking, "How are you now?"

The reason Connor didn't finish off Scarface after seeing his miserable state was because he knew he wouldn't be able to kill him even if he did! Margaret's blood mist was indeed strange and powerful, but even at her current peak intermediate wizard apprentice level, it was extremely difficult for her to unleash such a powerful technique. It was already remarkable that Margaret could hold out for so long; expecting her to join him in finishing off Scarface was simply impossible! Connor, having faced Scarface head-on, knew how terrifying he was; he knew he couldn't kill him alone!

"Luckily, I took the medicine and will recover in a few days!" Margaret replied calmly, seemingly not expecting Connor to care about her safety, but the coldness in her eyes had melted away considerably.

"I've tampered with Averova's head, erasing some of her memories. Even if that scarred man searches Averova's soul, he'll never discover the location of the magic stone mine. I'm certain of that!" Connor said in a deep voice. This was his most powerful bargaining chip right now!

"What do you want to do?" Margaret asked in a very serious tone.

"When I was a junior wizard apprentice, you and I could take down Snake Eyes in a friendly match. Now that my strength has increased greatly, what do we have to fear from that guy if we join forces?" Connor said in a deep voice, looking into Margaret's beautiful eyes. His tone was filled with naked killing intent!

"I can only use the Demon Blood Possession technique once every three years!" Margaret said quietly, after carefully examining Connor, who was filled with rage.

Upon hearing Margaret mention that she could no longer become a high-level wizard apprentice, Connor's expression froze. After thinking for a moment, he stared at Margaret and said, "I can give you another 10% of the magic stone mine's profits. Can you think of a way?"

"I will die if you use the Demon Blood Possession technique!" Margaret's voice inexplicably showed a hint of anger when she heard Connor trying to lure her with benefits.

"There's always a way!" Margaret said, and Connor, naturally, couldn't say anything more. He could only give a wry smile and mutter to himself:

Seeing Connor's somewhat dejected expression, Margaret's anger seemed to vanish. She said softly, "If you want to kill that scarred man, I'll help you!"

Margaret's soft voice actually caught Connor's attention. He looked at her with surprise; having worked with her for so long, he had never heard her speak to him so gently before…

Seeing Connor's surprised look, Margaret's eyes seemed to flash with panic. As if to cover it up, she quickly said, without any emotion, "What are you looking at! That guy obviously has ill intentions. To use Emperor Raul's words, cooperating with him is tantamount to seeking help from a tiger!"

Hearing the idiom "to seek one's own skin from a tiger" uttered by Margaret's red lips, Connor smiled. Margaret's support warmed his heart.

This wasn't the first time Connor had seen the scarred man; it was the second time, and the two encounters were very close together. This scarred man was the one who had spent a staggering six thousand gold pounds at Meazza Manor to buy the "Odin's Blood Tiger" that Connor so desperately wanted. After purchasing the Odin's Blood Tiger, the scarred man was extremely confident, staying until the auction ended and the tiger was freely exchanged before leaving. This confidence left a deep impression on Connor, and Connor was certain he hadn't mistaken the man for someone else!

The legendary body-refining wizard, the cultivation of a high-level wizard apprentice, wielding a cross-shaped sword of level two enchanted item—this scarred man certainly possessed the strength he was confident in! Connor knew that if the scarred man hadn't recognized that his Shadow Chains in actual combat were a talent spell attached to a high-level meditation technique, and hadn't been wary of his background, repeatedly asking him who he was, he wouldn't have been able to stall for even three minutes!

Connor was genuinely surprised to learn that this scarred man was actually a member of the Benficamites and had come here to compete with him for the magic stone mine! However, judging from the scarred man's words, it seemed that he hadn't come for the magic stone mine at first, but rather for Avilova. He wanted to turn Avilova into his furnace and then search her soul to learn about the magic stone mine from her divine sea!

Fortunately, Connor's usual caution helped him. Before returning to Rune, Connor, just in case, deleted all of Avilova's memories of the magic stone mine's location from her soul. Connor was confident that Avilova couldn't possibly play tricks on him about this. Scarface also confirmed Connor's guess. If Scarface knew the location of the magic stone mine, he probably wouldn't have talked about cooperation with him; he would have wanted to keep it all for himself!

Margaret was right. Cooperating with Scarface would never be smooth sailing. That guy's strength far surpassed both his own and Margaret's. He could only contend with him if he was with Margaret. But that's the problem. He and Margaret couldn't be together all the time. Even if they compromised and cooperated with him to mine the magic stone, he would definitely still try to find a way to get rid of them!

And most importantly, as long as he and Margaret join forces, from mining magic stones to using them, they can be completely self-sufficient, without needing anyone else to interfere, let alone interfere in this way!

Connor took out a magic stone from his spatial ring, looked at its crystalline luster, and felt the magic power it contained, falling into deep thought.

Cooperating with Scarface to mine the magic stone is impossible. Now he has two choices: either join forces with Margaret to confront Scarface head-on and try to kill him, or retreat back to Rune with Margaret in disgrace. As for the magic stone mine, the vein won't disappear, so he can plan it out later. However, there's a possibility that Scarface, having been tricked by him and Margaret, might decide to report the magic stone mine to the Benfica Secret Order. With the capabilities of an organization, they might actually find the magic stone mine!
