Wizard Earl

Chapter 487 Secret Contact

Emerson was also very decisive and straightforward. Realizing that it was inevitable that Connor would gradually take over control of the flying needles, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes. He laughed and loudly proclaimed within the magic circle, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Kane!"

Before he could finish speaking, Emerson gave up the struggle for control of Connor's flying needles. He took out a black dagger from his spatial ring and stabbed it straight at the magic array barrier. It seemed he was really going to run away this time. However, as soon as he moved, the metal beads that Connor had just released silently adhered to his body from the black mist surrounding him. The moment they adhered, Emerson's expression changed drastically.

He felt his magical power and spiritual energy being frantically devoured by the suction force of these small, seemingly insignificant metal beads. At this rate, it would only take a dozen seconds for his magical power and spiritual energy to be completely consumed by these metal beads. Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Emerson immediately abandoned his plan to break through the magic array and turned around to mobilize his magical power and spiritual energy to deal with the metal beads that were attached to him and resist the strange suction force on the beads. However, these metal beads were extremely troublesome. Despite Emerson's all-out efforts, he still did not gain any advantage. He could only barely achieve a balance with the strange suction force of the beads. Neither could do anything to the other, and he could only stop his spiritual energy and magical power from being absorbed by the metal beads.

As Connor toyed with the dark purple flying needle in his hand, sensing Emerson's predicament within the barrier of the magic circle, a half-smile appeared on his face. After thinking for a moment, Connor had another thought and rebuilt an invisible cage around Emerson, who was inside the magic circle, to maximize the suppression of Emerson's mental and magical power, ensuring that Emerson could not detect Connor himself.

After doing all this, Connor took a deep breath, and the Castilian Staff in his hand once again released a protective barrier under Connor's control, enveloping him inside. Emerson was able to discover his true location within the magic circle. Although he didn't know how Emerson had found out, this was undoubtedly beyond Connor's expectations and immediately aroused his high attention. Therefore, just in case, Connor decided to set up a barrier around himself while locking Emerson in the cage. This way, no matter how magical Emerson's methods were, he would have no chance to hear the conversation between Connor and Margaret that Connor was about to have.

Connor took out a pale green jade tablet from his spatial ring and cast a spell on it. Immediately, a faint green light emanated from the tablet. Connor knew that the tablet had connected with Margaret, who was wearing the bracelet. Now, all he had to do was wait for Margaret to reconnect with him.

Time ticked by, the pale green light on the jade tablet still flickering, indicating a smooth communication connection. However, Margaret remained unresponsive. Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Connor, who was intently watching the jade tablet and waiting for a connection, frowned and began to hesitate about ending the communication, the jade tablet beeped without warning. Then, Margaret's impatient voice came from the jade tablet: "What? I'm in a meeting with them..."

"Ambush location: Zaka Textile Factory; time: within three days!" Knowing he had no time to waste, Connor didn't hesitate to speak without considering Margaret's attitude.

"How did you know?" Upon hearing the time and place Connor mentioned, Margaret naturally knew what Connor was referring to, and her attitude immediately became very serious.

"The Secret Society was involved in this operation against you; I was one of the three senior wizard apprentices in charge!" Connor said with a hint of helplessness.

"So that's how it is, Connor, you actually came to kill me..." Upon hearing that Connor was one of the people in charge of the operation, Margaret seemed to relax immediately, her words carrying a hint of ease. However, as if she had thought of something, Margaret suddenly became serious again, saying to Connor, "Connor, I think I've found the Paredes you mentioned!"

"Paredes? That's right, according to their plan, he should be monitoring you right now. How come you've spotted him?" Connor paused for a moment, then quickly said:

"I've been wearing the enchanted item you gave me to find Paredes. A few days ago, I suddenly discovered this Paredes you mentioned. Paredes' ability to hide and spy is truly incredible. Connor, without this enchanted item you gave me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to find him!" Margaret's words were tinged with gratitude.

"You didn't touch him, did you?" Upon hearing Margaret's words, Connor didn't have time to savor Margaret's gratitude and hurriedly asked. If Margaret really did touch Paredes now, it would really alert him and disrupt Connor's entire prepared plan.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. That guy is currently spying on me from inside a tavern about 300 meters to my right!" Margaret said, somewhat annoyed.

"Very good. Don't give anything away. I've set up a formation at the Zaka Textile Factory. You and I will work together from the inside and outside to take them all out, two against two!" Connor instructed Margaret in a deep voice. After saying the last word, Connor's eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Understood!" Margaret replied very solemnly.

After ending his call with Margaret, Connor finally felt relieved. He took a deep breath and deactivated the Castilian barrier protecting him, then looked at Emerson, who was trapped in his cage. Although Connor hadn't attacked him, Emerson was struggling desperately under the strange suction of the metal beads and the suppression of the magic circle. He was soaked in sweat, as if he had been pulled out of water. It was clear that Emerson was at his last gasp.

With a disdainful sneer, Connor waved his hand, and the metal beads attached to Emerson turned into powder and scattered into the array. The array surrounding Emerson's cage also slowly dissipated under Connor's control, and the figures of Connor and Emerson reappeared in the open space of the factory.
