Wizard Earl

Chapter 583 Telling a Story

Watching Perrin's departing figure, Wanda smiled. She knew very well that although she was going to die here, Perrin had escaped. Given Perrin's background in the Celta Cult, he would not let it go easily. This pair of masked lovers, who dared not show their true faces, would inevitably suffer the Celta Cult's crazy retaliation. How could they not suffer some retaliation for wanting to kill her, Wanda?

Meanwhile, in the factory, another woman, Margaret, who was also watching Perrin's departing figure, was not in the same good mood as Wanda. She sneered and raised her hand, about to conjure up the Storm Ice Spear again to riddle the departing Perrin with bullets. But just a second before Margaret could make her move, Connor, who was standing in front of Margaret, stretched out his hand, signaling Margaret not to attack Perrin.

Although she didn't know why Connor would do this, Margaret hesitated for a moment, but still chose to follow Connor's advice, and lowered her hand to cancel the spell with great confusion.

Once the shockwave from the explosion of the Jewel Ring inside the factory had completely dissipated, and Palin had completely disappeared from sight, Connor turned to look at Wanda, who was pinned to the wall and barely alive, and said, "Was it worth it?"

"Why isn't it worth it?" Wanda asked calmly, though an unusual flush appeared on her face, making her look quite energetic.

"You're forcing yourself to breathe. What do you want to ask me?" Connor said calmly, glancing at Wanda's blood-covered face.

"Who are you?" Wanda, her eyes fixed on Connor, asked, each word deliberate and urgent, her last glimmer of life in her eyes.

Wanda's question did not surprise Connor. He raised an eyebrow, removed his black iron mask, revealing his true face to Wanda, and then said, "Your companion Alex Sandro asked me the same question a few days ago. You've been searching for me for so long, don't you even know who I am?"

Looking at Connor's angular face and hearing his calm voice, Wanda suddenly realized what was going on and understood everything. She said with a self-deprecating laugh, "So you are...."

"That's right! I am Connor Ferguson!" Connor nodded and said in a deep voice as he looked at Wanda. At Connor's voice, Wanda stopped breathing and passed away.

Connor pointed his finger at Wanda's body, and a black flame instantly burned Wanda's body to ashes, which then disappeared into the wind.

"Wanda was willing to sacrifice herself to save Palin. Such camaraderie among dark wizards is truly rare!" Margaret said with a hint of sarcasm, watching Wanda's G-Gray form rise with the wind.

"That wasn't camaraderie among fellow disciples; it was her final revenge after knowing she was doomed!" Connor said with a faint smile.

"By the way! Connor, why didn't you let me kill Palin? I had a good chance!" Hearing Connor's explanation, Margaret still couldn't contain her frustration and asked him:

Connor glanced at Margaret, a half-smile playing on his lips, then shook his head and said:

"Margaret, do you know what my purpose is?"

Upon hearing Connor's words, Margaret paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Isn't it because..."

"Are Palin and Wanda after the diamond hidden inside that crystal ball you first showed me, Connor?"

Connor smiled and waved his hand, then said, "Margaret, you're right. Preemptively stopping these two from snatching my treasure is indeed my goal, but... that's only one of my goals!"

At this point, a helpless bitterness appeared on Connor's face. Then, in front of Margaret, Connor took out the crystal ball that contained the Heart of Seta and handed it to Margaret with trust.

Seeing that Connor trusted her so much and was willing to show her the family's secret treasures, Margaret's eyes lit up when she looked at Connor. However, she didn't stand on ceremony with Connor and directly took the crystal ball from his hand.

"Guess what this is!" Connor winked at Margaret and said mysteriously.

Connor's words intensified Margaret's already keen interest in the crystal ball. After examining it closely for several minutes in front of Connor, Margaret handed the crystal ball back to him. Then, after a moment of contemplation, she said with some doubt:

"This crystal ball seems to be heavier than a normal crystal ball of this size. What's inside should be a fire-attribute gem with terrifying energy. That thing should be the treasure hidden by your Ferguson family, Connor, right?"

Hearing Margaret's explanation, Connor gave her a thumbs-up in appreciation, then continued, "The gem inside is called the Heart of Seta. This is the goal of the four high-ranking Celta Vision wizard apprentices—Perrin, Wanda, Alex Sandro (whom I killed earlier), and Lindelof—who came to Loen. However, as for the specific function of the Heart of Seta, I still have no idea!" Connor said with some regret, then changed the subject, pointing to the crystal ball:

"Margaret, the reason you feel this crystal ball is heavier than a normal crystal ball of the same shape is because it's not made of natural crystal. This crystal ball was formed using a spell called Crystal Sealing, and its purpose is to preserve and seal the Heart of Seta within!"

Connor's explanation immediately drew Margaret's attention back to the crystal ball in Connor's hand, which she had just studied. Recalling its weight when she held it, Margaret nodded to herself.

"Margaret, what you see here is actually the second layer of the Crystal Sealing Technique. Before this crystal ball, there was another layer of cube-shaped crystal, each one meter long and wide, on the outside. I tried many methods to open that cube-shaped crystal ball and turn it into the crystal ball we see now!" Connor's tone was full of helplessness as he looked at the crystal ball in his hand.

"So now, Connor, why can't you open this second crystal ball, and Palin has a solution?" Margaret, a very intelligent woman, pondered Connor's words for a moment and understood the underlying meaning. She smiled knowingly at Connor and said:
