Wizard Earl

Chapter 775, Section 772: A Strike at Robben and Ribery (1)

Given these two drawbacks of materializing spiritual power, according to incomplete statistics from a certain wizarding organization during the ancient Byzantine period, only 57% of the wizards who touched the threshold of materializing spiritual power chose to embark on the path of materializing spiritual power, while 43% chose to abandon materializing spiritual power and cultivate spiritual power under normal circumstances. The two were basically evenly split.

Because of these two potential drawbacks, even though Connor has touched upon the materialization of mental energy, he only dares to conduct simple tests and explore its power, without fully committing to the path of materializing mental energy. However, this battle with Robbie has rekindled Connor's desire for strength, causing his cautious attitude towards materializing mental energy to waver somewhat.

"That apothecary next to Connor Ferguson, where is the Varga?"

At No. 63 Zanetti Street, in Arshavin's optician's shop, Isabella, accompanied by the elderly man in a gray robe, barged in. Upon seeing the optician's counter, Robelli, leaning back in his chair, didn't waste any words and immediately asked:

Seeing Isabelle's arrogant and rude behavior, Robley, the owner of Arshavin's Glasses Shop, flashed anger in his plump eyes. However, upon seeing Adolf behind Isabelle, he barely managed to hold back his outburst, stood up from his chair, and said coldly, "Connor Ferguson arrived in the Baresi Forest before me. When I got there, there was only Connor Ferguson, not Varga!"

Isabella glanced intently at Robelli, whose face was contorted with anger, and continued, "What happened to the Sabitzer brothers?"

"Miss Isabella, didn't you just return from the Baresi Forest? How come you still don't know what happened?"

"You failed to keep an eye on Connor Ferguson, allowing him to successfully return and rescue the damsel in distress from the Sabitzer brothers."

The apothecary Varga saved them, and with the arrival of Connor, a first-level wizard, what could those two unlucky Sabitzer brothers do? They were doomed to die!

"By the time you messaged me to meet up with the Sabitzer brothers, it was too late. By the time I got there, they were all dead at Connor's hands!"

"As for the Sabitzer brothers' deaths, there's nothing I can do. I could only exchange a couple of blows with Connor Ferguson. Although that kid's magical power isn't strong, as a psychic wizard, his mental strength is indeed formidable, and he seems quite bold, having already embarked on the path of materializing his mental power. Although I injured him, I was also injured by his mental attack!" Robelli calmly recounted in response to Isabella's questioning.

Varga didn't seem to believe Robbie's account. A cold smile appeared on her face as she pointedly asked, "Where is Sabitzer's body?"

"Miss Isabella, didn't I tell you? When I arrived, the Sabitzer brothers had already been killed by Connor Ferguson. Sabitzer Jr. died by self-destruction, and Sabitzer Sr. was also killed by Connor and his body disposed of!"

Upon hearing Isabella inquire about Sabitzer's body, Roberi's heart sank. However, being a seasoned veteran with a deep-seated cunning, even with a guilty conscience, he maintained a completely composed demeanor in front of Isabella, speaking expressionlessly to Varga:

Isabella sighed at Robbie's explanation, then looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Robbie, considering the intelligence you provided us, I'm willing to give you a chance. Hand over Big Sabitzer's body now, and I can forgive you!"

Upon hearing Isabella's words, Robbie instinctively wanted to defend himself, but before he could even speak, he saw the gray-robed old man Adolf behind Isabella raise his head and look at him.

Feeling Adolf's gaze from beneath his gray robe, Robbie's scalp tingled, a chill running down his spine. After a moment's hesitation, Robbie remained silent and headed straight for the back of the glasses shop. The gray-robed elders, Adolf and Isabella, seemed unconcerned about Robbie running away and simply let him into the back.

Robelli, who had entered the back room, dragged a bronze coffin covered with Odin runes to the front hall of the glasses shop in a minute. He placed the bronze coffin in front of Varga. After looking at the bronze coffin for a moment, Varga did not hesitate. With a wave of her hand, she sent out a gust of wind and lifted the coffin lid. Inside, there lay the body of Sabitzer the Great.

Strangely, Sabitzer, who was originally white, was now completely black, as if dragged out of a coal mine. But what was even more chilling was not Sabitzer's change in skin color, but rather that Sabitzer, whose face had been contorted in a ferocious expression when he died at Connor's hands, now wore a smile, exuding an inexplicable sense of peace...

Seeing Sabitzer like this, Isabella seemed to realize something and immediately raised her head, looking sharply at Robelli standing to the side. Facing Isabella's gaze, Robelli seemed to understand that he had done something wrong. In addition, with the gray-robed elder Adolf protecting Isabella, he was very guilty and dared not meet Isabella's eyes, who was only a high-level wizard apprentice. He could only turn his head to the side and fall into silence.

"Thirty thousand magic stones! Not a single one less!" After staring at Robbie for a while, Isabella said, each word distinct and resolute:

Upon hearing Isabella's words, Robelli, who had only been forced to submit under the intimidation of the gray-robed elder Adolf, could no longer remain silent. He turned to face Isabella and angrily said, "You're extorting me! I've provided your secret society with so much information, and I haven't even earned 30,000 gold pounds from you!"

"That's right! Robbie, you're absolutely right! I am blackmailing you!"

"Uncle Kevins promised you that if you served us for three months, our secret society would provide you with a perfectly preserved intermediate wizard apprentice corpse. But that doesn't mean you can set your sights on our members. Robbie, you've overstepped your bounds this time. If I hadn't just promised to forgive you, given what you did to Big Sabitzer's corpse, Robbie, your fate would have been to be relentlessly hunted down by our secret society!"
