Wizard Earl

Chapter 545 Purpose

"As you can see, Connor Ferguson lives in Rand Street, the most bustling area of ​​Rune, which is covered by the Storm Eye of the Storm Church. If we make a move against Connor Ferguson here, I guarantee that within half an hour, the Storm Church's Arbitrators will be dispatched. Then, for the next period of time, we will be hunted down by the Church's Arbitrators. You know that Rune is the traditional sphere of influence of the Storm Church, so even if a formal wizard appears among the Storm Church's Arbitrators hunting us down, it wouldn't be surprising!"

Wanda shrugged and continued, her words serious but with a hint of mockery in her tone.

"Correa is my brother, that's true, but that doesn't mean I have to follow in his footsteps in everything I do. That's not what I want!" The name "Correa" that Wanda used seemed to have struck a nerve with Palin. Palin raised an eyebrow and said coldly:

Seeing Perrin's expression, the middle-aged beauty Wanda, though feigning innocence, secretly harbored a cunning and smug glint in her eyes. She had seen far more than Perrin, and naturally knew exactly what he cared about. She deliberately brought up Correa's name to provoke him. She couldn't handle this operation alone; she needed the help of this rebellious and talented wizard. Judging from Perrin's current reaction, it seemed she was close to success!

"What do you plan to do?" After refuting Wanda's suggestion, Palin pondered for a moment before continuing to ask her.

"So you've chosen the older sister?" Wanda asked seductively, giving Palin a suggestive wink.

"Hmph!" Perrin snorted coldly at the glare Wanda gave him, then said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "You know perfectly well that I don't get along with Emily, and Emily and Sandro are both students of Professor Van der Vaart. They've always had a very good relationship, so there's no way I'd work with Sandro!"

Wanda seemed quite convinced by Perrin's reasoning. She smiled, swirled her coffee, and gazed at the luxurious Ferguson Apartments not far out the window, saying slowly, "Perrin, have you heard of a famous quote by Raul the Great?"

"What are you saying?" Perrin asked, frowning.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!" Wanda said with a strange smile, enunciating each word clearly. If Connor were here, he would surely be amused by her odd Chinese pronunciation.

After finishing her explanation, Wanda turned her attention back to Palin. Seeing Palin frowning and deep in thought, Wanda quickly explained, "This means that the mantis wanted to eat an insect called a 'cicada,' but what the mantis didn't expect was that a bird was also waiting to eat it behind it!"

As soon as Wanda finished speaking, Palin's eyes lit up. Clearly, Wanda's explanation made him understand what Wanda's plan was.

Seeing Palin's eyes light up, Wanda smiled slightly and continued, looking out at the Ferguson apartments, "I know Sandro very well. He doesn't have much patience, and what's commendable about him is his execution ability. So, in as little as a week, or at most half a month, Sandro will definitely make his move against Connor Ferguson! We just need to wait until Sandro makes his move, and then, when the Church of Storms' attraction is entirely focused on him, we can take the stuff from him!"

At this point, Wanda glanced at Palin and continued, "We need a scapegoat to help me fend off the Church's arbitrators, and Sandro is the best candidate. Palin, go and buy two tickets for the ship to the New World in two weeks!"

"What are we going to the continent of Hoy for?" Perrin asked hesitantly, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Seeing that Perrin didn't understand her intentions, Wanda sighed and rubbed her forehead, saying, "Once the Storm Church finds out Sandro's identity, they'll definitely investigate the route from Rune back to Garotenia. To avoid them, after we get the goods, we won't go to Garotenia. Instead, we'll go to the New World, then from there to the Persis Empire, and finally back to Garotenia. It's a roundabout way, but it will be much safer!"

Connor, unaware that he was being watched while inside the safe house, was squinting at the cube-shaped crystal in front of him.

These past few days, he's been staying in the safe house to recover. Varga was right; this wasn't the first time he'd suffered a backlash of magic. Even with Varga, the genius apothecary, doing her best to help him recover, she still had to be careful and couldn't let her guard down. Varga repeatedly warned him that if Connor suffered a backlash of magic again, he would be in big trouble!

To avoid any lasting effects, Connor has been strictly following the treatment methods left by Varga to recover from the backlash of his magic. As for Varga herself, she returned to the hospital two days ago to prepare potions for her mission from the secret society, leaving Connor alone in the safe house. However, Varga said she would come back to the safe house in a week to check on Connor's recovery.

The treatment method left by Varga was remarkably effective, so Connor, who had recovered most of his health in the past few days, couldn't stay idle. He couldn't resist taking out the large crystal and starting to ponder it. Whether it was Stip Ferguson's strength, the value of the cube-shaped crystal itself, or the letter with the words "blood" and "soul" written on it, all of these things filled Connor with interest in the cube-shaped crystal. Connor had a feeling that this cube-shaped crystal left by Stip Ferguson, the ancestor of the Ferguson family, would have a great impact on his future!

After careful study, Connor concluded that the letter with the words "blood" and "soul" written on it was a hint from Stip Ferguson, suggesting how future generations of the Ferguson family would use the large crystal when they opened the ruby ​​space ring!

Connor's conclusion was not based on mere speculation, but rather on his research over the past few days, combining his understanding of classical texts with his observations of the cube-shaped crystal.
