Wizard Earl

Chapter 559 Untitled

In addition, the mention of the name Sandro during their conversation confirmed to Connor that the red-haired, menacing-looking man hiding in Warehouse No. 6 of the Valladolid factory was none other than Alex Sandro, a high-ranking Celtic wizard apprentice who had come to cause him trouble!

Connor had initially suspected that the menacing-looking man was Alex Sandro after discovering that the red-haired wizard hidden in Warehouse 6 was a high-level wizard apprentice. However, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the man was another Celtic wizard, so he didn't confirm it. But now, the conversation between the man and the woman completely confirmed Connor's guess!

"Be careful, walls have ears. Use telepathy!" Wanda frowned slightly upon hearing Palin speak directly to her, then warned him:

"Uh..." Realizing she had made a small mistake, Palin chuckled awkwardly, then transmitted her voice to Wanda, "Are you sure that bastard Sandro is around here? Sandro is quite cunning!"

Wanda glanced around and whispered to Perrin, "That day in the grove, I put a colorless, extremely fine powder on Sandro. This kind of powder can only be detected using a special method, and I detected its scent here. So, Sandro is very likely in the vicinity!"

Upon hearing Wanda's reply, Perrin immediately produced a map. After scanning it, he frowned slightly and said, "This seems to be the Selse Factory District, a very famous industrial area in Rune. There are many Rune factories nearby, with tens of thousands of workers and hundreds of factory warehouses..."

"Give me some time, and I'll see if we can shorten the area," Wanda replied. Actually, even without Palin saying anything, Wanda could tell where we were just by looking at the smog in the air.

After exchanging a few more words, Wanda and Palin headed towards a small tavern called "Workers' Home" on the side of the street.

Connor, who had witnessed this scene from the bushes, stroked his chin and pondered for a while. He decided not to follow her into the roadside tavern. The exceptionally handsome man in the top hat was nothing special, but the middle-aged woman next to him wearing a veil seemed to be a formidable opponent. Not only did she appear very alert and cautious, but in Connor's mental perception, although her mental strength was not as strong as his, it was still significantly superior to that of an ordinary advanced wizard apprentice!

After a moment of contemplation, Connor quietly withdrew from the bushes, boarded a public carriage, and left the Searles factory district.

To his utter surprise, in that small tavern called "Workers' Home," amidst the boisterous laughter of the workers and the cheap perfume of streetwalkers, Palin nervously watched the tavern entrance, one hand on his belt. Then, from another corner, Wanda transmitted a voice: "What's wrong? Has something unusual happened?"

Upon hearing Palin's telepathic message, Wanda, who was also intently staring at the door behind her veil, frowned slightly, her expression turning somewhat surprised. After a moment's thought, she replied telepathically to Palin, "Perhaps I'm misperceiving..."

"Hi!"

Wanda's reply immediately put Palin at ease. He grabbed a beer from the table and took a big gulp. He had been really startled when Wanda told him telepathically that someone was secretly monitoring them with their mental powers. He hadn't sensed anyone using their mental powers to monitor them at all. However, because he knew that Wanda's mental powers were stronger than his own, and because he trusted Wanda, he had gone through with this trap with her.

But now Wanda has made a mistake; no one is actually monitoring them. This has caused Palin to feel a sense of unease towards Wanda, even as he relaxes.

"what?"

Disguised, Connor returned to Land Street and was about to take out the small stone to interfere with the sensor in the trash can when his mental energy suddenly activated. He discovered that the sensor that had been installed in the trash can to monitor his apartment had disappeared.

A playful expression appeared on his face. This situation surprised Connor somewhat, but after pondering for a moment, he didn't pay too much attention to it and quietly walked into the apartment. He had come back this time to take a look at his recording crystal ball and confirm some of his guesses.

Upon entering the apartment, although the items inside were basically unchanged from when he left, Connor, who was very familiar with the arrangement of items in the apartment, was still able to clearly see the signs that the apartment had been ransacked.

Since it was expected, Connor wasn't surprised. After checking the apartment and confirming that nothing had been installed, he took out the crystal ball hidden in the apartment wall and began watching the videos from the apartment while he was away. Soon, Connor found the video from that night. Watching the smiling masked man searching the apartment in the crystal ball video, Connor recognized him immediately—it was the red-haired wizard with the small bronze mirror from Warehouse 6 of the Baradolid Factory.

It seemed that the person who entered his apartment to search was Alex Sandro, but who were the man and woman who also appeared in the Sals factory area today? Thinking of this, a look of doubt appeared in Connor's eyes. After a moment of contemplation, Connor put the crystal ball back into the wall.

Connor, having put the crystal ball back, retrieved all the secret letters from his apartment mailbox, wanting to see if Martina had resent him any new letters.

A few minutes later, Connor found two secret letters in his mailbox, and his expression was genuinely surprised. He really didn't expect that not only Martina had sent him a secret letter, but Margaret, who should still be training in the Heart of the Storm, had also sent him a secret letter!

Out of sheer curiosity about the contents of Margaret's letters, Connor set Martina's letters aside and began reading Margaret's.

Martina's letter was brief, simply informing Connor that her training in the Heart of Storms was progressing better than expected, so her return to Rune would be brought forward to five days later. She asked Connor to wait for her at their usual spot at 7 PM on the sixth day, as she had something to discuss with him.
