Wizard Earl

Chapter 581 Wanda's Combined Approach

No one knows what crazy things Palin and Wanda might do in their despair of certain death. If Wanda can keep her promise, Margaret thinks that letting her and Palin go is a good option!

After all, for Margaret and Connor, killing Perrin and Wanda, the two Celtic wizards, was not the beginning. They still had to face the boss, Old Victor, in a short time. It would be too much of a loss if they were injured in the counterattack of Perrin and Wanda!

Seeing the woman in the black iron mask look at the black-robed man who had unleashed a mental attack, both Wanda and Palin felt a glimmer of hope. If things continued to develop like this, barring any unforeseen circumstances, their fate would likely be to die in this abandoned factory. What they feared most was that the two unidentified black-masked duo, who didn't know Wanda's escalation offer, would attack without hesitation, without considering anything else. In that case, they would only have one option left: a desperate fight to the death.

Although the woman on the other side who was casting ice magic only looked at the mastermind, the black-robed psychic wizard, to ask for his opinion and did not directly agree to Wanda's conditions, neither of them immediately continued to attack. This shows that the possibility of the two of them letting them go is not unfounded. Everything is not settled yet, and there is still room for negotiation!

Seeing Wanda's lingering hope for survival, she quickly considered her options and decided to add another drastic measure. This time, she spoke with a firmer tone: "We both understand the current situation perfectly well, and we have no more illusions. If you two are truly determined to force us to our deaths, we have no choice but to accompany you to the end, fighting to the death, and making sure one of us dies with you!"

At this point, Wanda's voice became unusually sharp, filled with a sense of resignation, as if she were ready to die, seemingly to demonstrate her determination. Perrin, no fool, quickly gripped his staff and mirrored Wanda's stance, adopting a similarly desperate posture. The experienced Wanda knew that although she and Perrin were at a significant disadvantage and desperately wanted to reach an agreement, they couldn't afford to compromise. Doing so would only make the enemy believe they were at their wits' end, completely powerless to resist, and they would be unfazed, launching a direct attack!

At this point, it is essential to use both soft and hard tactics. By showing weakness while demonstrating your determination and ability to fight to the death, you can instill fear and apprehension in the other party, making them hesitant to humiliate you. Only in this way can you successfully overcome this dangerous situation.

At this point, Wanda, while observing Connor and Margaret, changed her tone and said in a sinister tone, "My companion and I are not idle wizards without any background. We are both wizards of the Celta Cult. Our mentors are both certified wizards. Moreover, my companion's biological brother is also a certified wizard, and even the next leader of our Celta Cult. Even if you two manage to kill us today, you will inevitably suffer the Celta Cult's relentless revenge in the future!"

Hearing Wanda say this, Perrin, though still glaring fiercely at the two masked men opposite him, appearing to share Wanda's hatred, felt a little strange. It was true that his mentor and biological brother were formal wizards, but while his brother Correa had a considerable chance of becoming the next leader of the Celta Cult, it wasn't as certain as Wanda's opinion. After all, the new generation of Celta Cult wasn't just his brother Correa, a newly promoted formal wizard!

Similarly, while it's true that Wanda's mentor was a legitimate wizard, he had been dead for thirty years and might have turned to ashes by now... Of course, although she felt something was off, Palin was not foolish enough to expose Wanda's boasting while she was intimidating her opponent.

Feeling Margaret's questioning gaze, Connor narrowed his eyes, and under the cover of the black iron mask he wore, he secretly observed the handsome young man, Perrin, who was almost too good to be human. The technique of the Crystal Sealing Technique that he wanted was in this man's head!

Under normal circumstances, if Wanda's conditions could be met, then Connor Ferguson might as well let these two Celtic wizards go, given the impending battle with old Victor!

But alas, alas, what he desired lay within Perrin's divine sea. And clearly, for a proud and ambitious genius like Perrin, destined to become a full-fledged wizard, to accept a domineering soul-capturing spell—one that profoundly affects the caster's soul and could potentially jeopardize his future wizarding career—was simply impossible. This was more unacceptable to him than death! And if he didn't use the soul-capturing spell on Perrin, even if Perrin were willing to hand over the Crystal Sealing Technique, Connor honestly couldn't be certain whether the soul-capturing spell Perrin offered was genuine or not!

Seeing Connor fall silent, Wanda assumed he was considering her terms, which greatly increased the likelihood of reaching an agreement. Overjoyed, she gritted her teeth and said to Connor, "If you two are willing to let us go, I'm willing to hand over all the cultivation resources in my spatial ring, except for my demonized items, as compensation!"

Hearing Wanda's willingness to give so generously, and seeing Connor still pondering, Perrin was filled with grief and indignation. However, he was ultimately powerless against the circumstances and had to submit. So, after a moment's hesitation, he forced himself to suppress his heartache and said, "I am willing to hand over three thousand magic stones as compensation for the two of you!"

Upon hearing the compensation offered by Wanda and Perrin, a playful look appeared on Connor's face beneath his black iron mask. It seemed that these two were even wealthier than he had imagined. With that thought in mind, Connor pretended to be deep in thought and hesitant, attracting the attention of Perrin and Wanda. Meanwhile, he secretly gave Margaret a hand gesture behind his back!

After a dozen seconds, Connor snapped out of his reverie and looked at Wanda and Palin, who had been staring at him, and said, "Since you're both so sincere... then you can all just die!"
