Wizard Earl

Chapter 244 The Hunt Begins!

Stepping out of the light curtain, Connor found himself in a forest, secluded and deserted, surrounded by dense, tall trees.

Looking around, Connor's eyes widened in doubt. After a moment of contemplation, he muttered to himself, "Is this the Rabiot Forest in the northern suburbs? Mr. Mustafa's teleportation array is truly amazing; it actually transported me from the Mönchengladbach Club to here. But this is fine too; this place is suitable for a person to rest in peace!"

Having determined his location, Connor did not hesitate at all. With a thought, he activated the Silver Pendant. With the significant amplification of the Silver Pendant's spiritual power, Connor's already strong spiritual power as a mental wizard instantly covered the entire Rabiot Forest.

After only a moment's thought, Connor locked onto the tall, thin old man walking out of the forest. The tall, thin old man, whose mental energy was being locked onto by Connor, was also surprised to find that he had been locked onto by someone's mental energy under such a large-scale mental search by Connor.

Connor sensed the astonished, aged face that had been locked onto by his mental energy. A slight smile appeared on his angular face as he activated his black magic robe and gave chase. Things were progressing more smoothly than he had expected. In Connor's mind, killing the old man shouldn't be a problem. The real challenge was how to pinpoint the old man's location. After all, the old man had been out for ten minutes longer than him, and if he moved quickly, he could easily escape the range of his mental energy. Now it seemed that he had worried too much.

Connor, fully activating his black magic robe, caught up with the tall, thin old man in just five minutes. To Connor's slight surprise, the tall, thin old man, realizing that he had been locked onto, did not flee but stayed where he was.

Watching Connor's pursuit with wariness, the tall, thin old man's eyes showed a hint of helplessness. His aged hand stroked his spatial ring, and the dark meteorite he had just shown Connor at the Menxing Club appeared in his palm. After giving Connor a deep look, he held up the dark meteorite and said, "Two thousand gold pounds, take it!"

Connor was initially suspicious of the tall, thin old man staying put and waiting for him, but seeing the old man's submissive behavior, a hint of mockery appeared in Connor's eyes. Where the hell were you all this time? You offered two thousand gold pounds at the club, and you wouldn't even bother to negotiate, clearly trying to rip me off. Now that I've caught up, you want to sell it to me for only four times the price? Tsk tsk tsk, you're really dreaming!

Noticing the mocking look in Connor's black robes, a hint of anger flashed across the tall, thin old man's aged face. He brandished the dark meteorite in his hand at Connor and threatened, "I spent thirty years as an intermediate wizard apprentice, so I have some methods for killing. Young man, let me give you a piece of advice..."

Before the tall, thin old man could finish his advice, he received a response from Connor. Amplified by the mental power of the silver pendant, Connor unleashed three mental attacks on the old man. The old man seemed unsurprised by Connor's attack; he simply produced something resembling a door panel and held it in front of him. Unfortunately, while the old man was aware of Connor's attack, he completely failed to realize that Connor's attack wasn't a magical attack as he had imagined, but a mental attack…

"snort!"

After releasing the mental shock, Connor could clearly hear the painful groans of the tall, thin old man behind the door!

Having injured his opponent with a single blow, Connor did not become complacent or arrogant. Instead, he solemnly examined the door panel protecting the tall, thin old man. Clearly, this door panel was no ordinary door panel; it was a defensive enchanted item. Moreover, according to Connor's observation, although the folding door panel was only a level one enchanted item, its quality was quite good, considered excellent among level one defensive enchanted items. With this treasure, it was no wonder the tall, thin old man sensed Connor's pursuit and dared to face him without fear!

Connor felt that although this door panel couldn't change the old guy's fate of being killed by him, it would probably take some effort for him to break through the door panel and kill the old guy hiding behind it!

With a thought, the Castiel Staff appeared in Connor's hand. Although the inability to cast the Castiel Magic Circle greatly affected Connor's strength, the Castiel Staff, as a level-two enchanted item that Connor had painstakingly crafted, could still perform some basic functions of a staff even if its strongest techniques could not be used, such as saving Connor's casting time and amplifying the power of his spells.

This is the location teleported from by the second light screen of the Mönchengladbach Club. Connor is unsure if there are other wizards around him who have also been teleported from the second light screen. Since he cannot be sure, Connor, as the hunter, must do his best to finish this hunt quickly and eliminate this tall, thin old man as soon as possible to prevent him and the old man from fighting each other and being taken advantage of by others!

After taking out the Castia Staff, Connor took a deep breath and immediately cast his innate spell—Shadow Chains. Two thick black chains were released from Connor's palm and were then used by Connor to slam them hard against the door panel blocking the tall, thin old man's path!

"boom!"

The shadow chains collided with the enchanted door panel, producing a loud boom. The spot on the door panel where the shadow chains struck was visibly dented.

"Stop! Stop! I surrender, I'll give you the Dark Meteorite for free!" Before Connor could slam the Shadow Chain a second time, a terrified voice came from behind the door!

A cunning glint flashed in his eyes. Connor stopped his attack and said calmly, "Very well, you know what's good for you. Hand over the Dark Meteorite, and I might spare your life!"

On the surface, this might seem like sparing the old man's life, but Connor was merely playing along with the old man's illusions. While breaking through the door with all his might wouldn't be difficult, it would take time. As for the dark meteorite, being an alchemical material, its hardness wasn't high. With the strength of a mid-level wizard apprentice, it could be destroyed quickly. Connor's main goal now was, of course, to repair the dark meteorite in the Castia magic circle, safely obtain it, and then deal with this greedy old man later!
