Wizard Earl

The black carriage stopped 300 meters away from Connor. Seeing it stop, Connor spoke emotionlessly, "May I ask who is inside? And why have you followed me here?"

Upon hearing Connor's question, the person inside the black carriage did not respond. Ten seconds later, just as Connor frowned slightly, the door of the black carriage opened, and two familiar figures, an old man and a young man, stepped down from the black carriage and appeared before Connor.

"Isabella, so it's you?" Looking at the beautiful woman with a pink scar across her eyebrow slowly approaching, and the gray-robed old man beside her whose face was obscured, Connor's eyes flashed with a cold light before he spoke:

Isabella was completely unfazed by Connor's surprise. She glared at the bastard in front of her, the one who had dared to trick her at Cavani's restaurant last time, and said hatefully, "Connor, tell me everything you got from Danilo, and I might let you off this time!"

Upon hearing Isabella's words, Connor became wary, but also had a vague feeling that she wasn't after him, Connor Ferguson, but rather Danilo!

Realizing this, and recalling Isabella's identity, Connor couldn't help but think of his conversation with Danilo, during which Danilo had mentioned that the Royalists planned to establish a long-term trading channel with a family in the Odin Empire.

Connor initially didn't believe the news because of the Pastre restriction in the Danilo Sea, but now, judging from Isabella's behavior, the accuracy of the news seems questionable. Moreover, even if the news is wrong, the King's faction's purpose in Frosinone doesn't seem so simple!

After a moment's thought, Connor, feigning seriousness, gave Isabella and the grey-robed old man beside her—whom he had met briefly at the Grand Hotel Agudero—before slowly speaking, "Miss Isabella, what is it you wish to know?"

"I meant everything!" Although she hadn't realized Connor was trying to trick her, Isabella was tight-lipped and didn't fall for Connor's trick.

Seeing that his scheme had failed, Connor was slightly disappointed, but he didn't show it. Instead, he continued speaking to Isabella, "It took me quite a bit of effort to get these things from Danilo. Miss Isabella, since you want to know these things from me, what are you prepared to give in return?"

"snort!"

Seeing that Connor was actually trying to bargain with her and ask for benefits, Isabella couldn't help but let out a cold snort. Her expression was extremely unfriendly as she said to Connor, "Connor Ferguson, you killed the Sabitzer brothers in the Baresi Forest. Letting you go is already the greatest favor I can do for you. Don't push your luck!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Hearing that Isabella still had the nerve to talk about what happened in the Baresi Forest, Connor laughed angrily and said in a cold voice, "What happened last time? Miss Isabella, I'll settle the score with you sooner or later for sending people to attack Varga. As for letting me go now? Isabella, it's a real pity that you've lost your mind at such a young age!"

Impressed by Connor's mockery, Isabella, who already harbored a deep prejudice against him, immediately flew into a rage. She turned to the gray-robed elder beside her and said, "Professor Adolf, I beg you!"

"Don't worry! Since he's so arrogant, I'd like to see how much of his teacher's skills this little guy has learned!" Adolf said proudly. Before Adolf finished speaking, Connor, who was standing opposite him, knew that this old guy was stronger than him, so he didn't bother with anything and launched a direct attack without warning. A mental storm was sent straight towards Isabella.

It was Isabella who felt the impact of Connor's mental storm. Adolf's eyes flashed coldly, and he stepped to the side, blocking Isabella's path. Then he uttered a spell, "Utra!"

Although Adolf's voice was not loud, it was extremely clear. With this incantation, the mental storm that Connor had unleashed to attack Isabella was dispelled as if it had been banished, disappearing without a trace into the world.

Despite knowing that the first-level wizard, whom Isabella called "Teacher Adolf," was stronger than himself, Connor was still secretly surprised to see that his most prized attack method, mental attack, was so easily countered by Adolf.

Having failed in his first attack, and with his opponent clearly stronger than him, Connor, facing such an unfavorable situation, did not hesitate. He immediately took out a smoke bomb he had crafted from his spatial ring, intending to escape under its cover. Unfortunately, the moment the smoke bomb appeared in Connor's hand, Adolf saw through his plan. A mocking expression appeared on her face, barely visible beneath her gray robe, and she immediately threw a punch at Connor.

Suddenly, a huge gray fist shadow, accompanied by a fierce and terrifying sound of wind breaking, attacked Connor with all its might. Judging from the power of this punch, if Connor were hit by this fist shadow, even if he survived by chance, he would probably lose the ability to resist on the spot.

Feeling the massive gray fist shadow locking onto him, Connor didn't have time to throw out his smoke bomb. He could only immediately focus his mind, not daring to be careless. With a roar, he fully activated his magic power, breaking through the gray fist shadow's lock on him before it could hit him. His black magic robe flashed, and he instantly disappeared from the spot.

"boom!"

Having lost its target, Connor, the gray fist immediately struck the valley wall. With a loud bang, a large crater, about five meters in diameter and half a meter deep, appeared on the once smooth wall.

Connor, who narrowly escaped the gray fist shadow, landed under a redwood tree. Although he was not hit by the gray fist shadow, he was grazed on the head by the strong wind it passed through. Although he was not seriously injured, his head looked bloody and quite gruesome.

Seeing Connor's state, Isabella's face immediately lit up with a smug look, and she couldn't help but mock him, "Connor Ferguson, if you beg for mercy now, I might just give you a chance to live!"
