Wizard Earl

Chapter 594 A Crazy Act

As the saying goes, "When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it." Since they want to deal with him, these demonized knights can't stay hidden in the shadows forever. They will eventually have to come out and face him. It's better for them to show themselves now than to stay hidden in the shadows. At least Connor doesn't have to keep his mind on edge. Although they haven't directly fought yet, he can clearly see how much weight these four demonized knights who are monitoring him are. Based on his experience, Connor guesses that these four are just pawns.

The true boss among these demonized knights, the "Mr. Tusam" whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary high-level wizards as Varga mentioned, is not one of the four demonized knights being monitored. He should still be hiding in the shadows, not yet revealed...

"If the information you gave me about Connor Ferguson, Martina, is correct, he is a high-level psychic wizard apprentice. My four subordinates, although their concealment skills are not bad, should not be able to escape Connor Ferguson's psychic detection!"

Just as Connor had suspected, in the Zika Mansion, two streets away from Ferguson's apartment building at 16 Land Street, Tusam, cloaked in black, asked Martina, who was standing beside him, with some confusion. Martina was holding a pair of binoculars, intently watching the Ferguson apartment building at 16 Land Street, which was faintly visible in the distance, seemingly trying to discern something from it.

"Tusam, I only told you to send your men there to monitor Ferguson's apartment, I didn't say to have your men keep an eye on Connor Ferguson!" Martina put down her binoculars and looked at Tusam calmly, saying:

"Don't keep an eye on Connor Ferguson? Then what are you doing, Martina?" Tusam frowned, seemingly not understanding what Martina meant.

"I've fought with Connor before. Based on my understanding of his mental power, even if you and I personally went to keep watch around Ferguson's apartment, we still wouldn't be able to escape Connor's mental detection. If neither of us can do it, then of course the four demonized knights you sent can't escape Connor's mental detection either!" Martina said with a smile, but the meaning in her words was very decisive.

After saying that, Martina changed the subject and continued, "However, the appearance of your men will make Connor realize that old Victor is going to make a move against him. If you were him, what do you think you would do next?"

"Strike first!" After pondering Martina's words for a few seconds, a cruel glint appeared in Tusam's eyes. He made a throat-slitting gesture and said coldly:

"That's right!" Seeing that Tusam understood her meaning, Martina nodded slightly and then said, "Tell your four men to do this in a few hours, until late at night..." At the end, Martina actually began to transmit her voice to Tusam.

As he listened to Martina's telepathic message, Tusam's eyes grew brighter and brighter. When Martina finished speaking, Tusam's gaze towards her held something indescribable. After looking at Martina for a long while, Tusam murmured with emotion, "Martina, your decision to cooperate with me was one of the best decisions I ever made!"

"Thank you for the compliment, I am honored!"

Upon hearing Tusam's praise, Martina's aloof face revealed a smug smile as she nodded her thanks:

"What are they trying to do?"

In the quiet room of Ferguson's apartment late at night, Connor, holding a crystal ball in his hand, muttered to himself, somewhat puzzled:

Since discovering the presence of the four demonized knights near his apartment in the morning, Connor had been paying close attention to their movements as a precaution. With the help of the red and blue crystal ball, Connor could clearly see the actions of the four demonized knights who were keeping watch near Ferguson's apartment. These four people did not stay in one place, but would change positions every one to two hours.

Just an hour earlier, these four men seemed to have received some signal and all left the area around Connor's apartment. Just when Connor thought their surveillance was finally over, or that a new group of people would be monitoring them, two of the four bald, burly men returned to Rand Street. Unlike during the day, however, these two bald men were now wearing uniforms belonging to the Rune Fire Department, which they had somehow acquired. Judging from how tightly they were dressed, the uniforms clearly didn't belong to them...

"Are they trying to use their fire officer status to break in? But that doesn't seem right... According to the Empire's 'Public Security Administration Punishment Regulations,' fire officers, except in special circumstances, don't have the authority to enter private residences! If they try to get in using their fire officer status, they'll definitely attract a crowd!" Connor thought to himself.

Just as Connor was puzzling over why the two bald, demonized knights were dressed in firefighter uniforms, his crystal ball observed a scene: on the eerily quiet streets of Rand, a kilometer from Ferguson's apartment, a somewhat old carriage was speeding towards them. The carriage was far exceeding the speed limit for carriages in the East District of Rune, which, according to the Imperial Traffic Law, would be severely punished. However, the coachman driving this speeding carriage seemed completely unaware of the problem, still frantically whipping the four strong horses pulling the carriage, forcing them to run even faster.

The speeding carriage cruising down Rand Street was already enough to catch Connor's attention, but what caught his eye even more was that the coachman driving it was none other than the gaunt, demonized knight in blue robes who had been sitting on a bench reading a newspaper earlier that day. However, he was no longer holding the "Rune Evening Post," but a powerful riding whip. And the direction he was driving the speeding carriage was none other than the Ferguson Apartments where Connor Ferguson lived!

"SHIT!"

As the carriage drew closer to the apartment, Connor's mental power allowed him to sense what was inside. Inside was a box of matches and more than a dozen barrels of distilled liquor. This discovery immediately made Connor realize why the two bald, demonized knights were dressed as firefighters!
