Wizard Earl

Chapter 563 Taking Action (1)

For Alex Sandro, handing the small bronze mirror over to Wanda and Palin was merely a stopgap measure. After all, Emperor Raul once famously said, "Where there's life, there's hope." As long as Sandro lived, the outcome of the battle and the acquisition of the Ferguson family's fire-attribute gem remained uncertain.

With this belief in mind, Mr. Sandro spent several days racking his brains and using various methods to finally find and remove the scent Wanda left on him. As soon as he finished doing this, Alex Sandro wanted to search Ferguson Apartments again. During the first search, Sandro felt that Ferguson Apartments was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it.

Now that the small bronze mirror has been stolen and all his leads have been cut off, Alex Sandro, unwilling to accept defeat, has no choice but to investigate the Ferguson Apartments again. This time, his efforts paid off, and he actually discovered the source of the problem. He found an energy crystal ball hidden in the wall of the Ferguson Apartments. Although Sandro doesn't yet know what the crystal ball is or what its function is, it is undoubtedly a major discovery!

Driven by his eagerness to study the energy crystal ball, Sandro flew towards his new destination at top speed. In his excitement, he didn't notice that a dark shadow was already silently watching him from behind!

Under Connor's watchful gaze, Sandro left the city of Loen and slipped into a lumber warehouse in the western suburbs. It seems that this Mr. Alex Sandro of the Celta Cult has a special fondness for factory warehouses.

Connor discreetly surveyed the surroundings of the lumber warehouse with his mental energy, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. The warehouse was surrounded by furniture factories, and at night, apart from a few old night watchmen, there was no one else in those factories. Inside the warehouse, there was only an old man fast asleep. From Sandro's perspective, this lumber warehouse was indeed an excellent hiding place!

Of course, while it was a great hiding place for Sandro, it was also a perfect location for Connor to commit murder and arson! As long as the old night watchman in the lumber warehouse was kept under control, no one would know what happened there tonight.

With a thought, Connor activated his black magic robes, allowing him to silently sneak up to the vicinity of the lumber warehouse where Sandro was. While quickly setting up a soundproof barrier around the warehouse, Connor secretly used his mental power to observe Sandro's appearance inside.

"A crystal ball?"

As soon as Connor spotted Sandro hiding in the corner of the warehouse, his mental energy was immediately drawn to the crystal ball he was fiddling with. Connor was taken aback when he saw the crystal ball, because it was none other than the video crystal ball he had hidden in the wall.

"This Alex Sandro is really something," Connor thought to himself. He had worried that his location in the Ferguson Apartments on Land Street, the heart of Loen, would be exposed, so he dismantled most of the alchemical mechanisms in the Ferguson Apartments, leaving only this recording crystal ball.

The reason he left this recording crystal ball behind was largely because it was hidden in the wall, in a very concealed location. Connor's method of hiding it was extremely clever. He was confident that no outsider would ever discover it. Even if Connor himself were to search for the crystal ball in his apartment without knowing it, he wouldn't be 100% sure he could find it. The fact that Alex Sandro was able to find the recording crystal ball in his apartment truly made Connor think highly of him.

A little over a minute later, Connor, who had set up a soundproof barrier around the warehouse, was finally able to concentrate all his attention on Alex Sandro. Although Connor wanted to kill Sandro, he was not in a hurry to make a move. Although the injuries from the backlash of his magic were no longer a big problem, he was still injured and it was best not to fight for too long. The sooner he could get rid of Alex Sandro, the better. This required Connor to be very good at seizing opportunities to launch a sneak attack.

Quietly clutching the Castiel Staff and the silver pendant in his hands, Connor held his breath, watching Sandro intently, waiting for his chance to strike!

Because Connor employed many alchemical techniques recorded in *Reyes Alchemy* when crafting this recording crystal ball, its technical difficulty was extremely high from an alchemical perspective. For a wizard like Alex Sandro, who only possessed rudimentary alchemical knowledge, the challenge of using this recording crystal ball without the corresponding incantations was unimaginable. Therefore, after studying it for a full hour without any progress, Sandro's eyes immediately showed impatience, which caused him to lower his guard considerably…

Connor, who had been hiding in the corner and had anticipated this scene, was overjoyed. Without waiting, he decisively attacked. Holding the silver pendant, Connor unleashed a mental shock directly at Sandro, amplified by the pendant's mental power.

"what!"

Alex Sandro, who had no idea he would be attacked here, was caught off guard and struck by Connor's powerful mental attack. Blood immediately flowed from his ears and nose, and he cried out in pain.

However, before Sandro could recover from the pain and react, a blue-black six-pointed star magic circle condensed beneath his feet. Seeing the magic circle appear, Sandro was terrified and immediately tried to break free from the magic circle beneath his feet, but his actions were too late. Enduring the excruciating pain in his divine sea, he had just unleashed a fireball that smashed onto the magic circle.

"Bang!"

Alex Sandro's hastily unleashed fireball struck the Castia magic circle but did not affect its formation. The next second, Alex Sandro, who was about to unleash another fireball, was trapped inside the Castia magic circle.

Looking at the completed Castilian magic circle before him, Connor's face immediately showed a smug smile. Alex Sandro's physical condition had just been completely exposed to Connor, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that Alex Sandro was also injured, just like him! Moreover, it seemed that Sandro's injuries were recent and far more serious than Connor's!
