Wizard Earl

All the information Connor had previously gathered pointed to one thing: Reyes was going to do something big in Bernabeu, the capital of the Carman Empire. For this big thing, Reyes himself, Southgate, Covington, and many other first-level wizards from Reyes's faction went to Bernabeu with him. Among them was Bispin!

The message left by Reyes in the crystal ball that old Victor gave to Connor not only confirmed the news, but also stated that he would not come to see Connor for a while and hoped that Connor would wait for him in Frosinone in three years. It was because of this that Connor was so convinced that Reyes and his group were all in the capital Bernabéu, and never considered the possibility of Reyes and his first-level wizards appearing.

But Bispin's appearance has overturned Connor's original judgment!

Although we still don't know what Reyes and his gang were doing in the Bernabéu, Bispin's presence here suggests two possibilities!

The first possibility is that Reyes's grand plan in the capital Bernabéu was completed ahead of schedule or failed, which allowed Bispin to withdraw from the capital Bernabéu and return to Frosinone to deal with him. Reyes himself may also be able to parachute into Frosinone in a short period of time to deal with Connor in person.

The second possibility is that Reyes's major undertaking has not yet been completed or failed, but has entered a stalemate. Therefore, Reyes stayed at the Bernabéu, but Bisping was able to find time to return and be ordered to deal with him.

Of the two possibilities, Connor personally leans towards the latter, but regardless of which one is true, it's not good news for him. However, relatively speaking, Connor can't currently think of any way to counter Reyes, so compared to the first possibility, the second is a stroke of luck for him.

Bispin, the burly man, was quite straightforward with Connor, not beating around the bush and saying directly, "I believe you already know about the Professor and what happened between us at the Bernabéu in the capital. Although I don't know what happened between you and the Professor, I'm the only one who came to see you this time."

Hearing Bispin's words, Connor remained expressionless and unmoved, but in reality, he was secretly calculating. Two seconds later, he gave Bispin a deep look and then said in a low voice, "From the Bernabéu to Frosinone, it's at least several thousand kilometers. You came all this way to see me, you didn't just come here to tell me this, did you?"

"Of course not, but before that, I need to test your methods!" Bispin said in a deep voice, a cold glint flashing in his blue eyes as he looked at Connor.

Seeing that Bispin was about to make a move, Connor, who was already prepared, stopped wasting words with Bispin and immediately took the initiative, sending a mental storm towards Bispin with a thought.

Faced with Connor's unannounced attack, Bispin showed no anger. He seemed very confident in his mental strength and did not put much effort into defending against Connor's mental storm. Instead, he swung his huge fist and threw a simple and brutal punch at Connor. Connor only felt a light blue fist shadow wrapped with a strong wind sweeping towards his face.

"snort!"

After throwing a punch, Bispin, who was very confident in his mental strength, was hit by Connor's mental storm. Bispin's confidence did not help him. He was caught off guard by Connor's mental storm and let out a muffled groan.

Unlike Bispin's blind confidence, Connor, knowing he was inferior to Bispin, wanted to get rid of Bispin's punches. Unfortunately, the difference in strength made it impossible for Connor to do so. Helpless, Connor could only take out the Castia Staff and release a defensive barrier to withstand the attack.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Connor's defensive barrier successfully blocked Bispin's full-force attack, but under the enormous impact of the punch, Connor was sent flying five meters before he could barely regain his footing.

In the first round of their fight, both Connor and Bisping suffered a slight loss!

Bispin shook his head heavily a few times, seemingly recovering from the dizziness caused by Connor's mental storm. He glanced at Connor, said nothing, but took out a ring with a transparent gemstone from his spatial ring and put it on the thick index finger of his left hand, showing his acceptance of Connor's mental attack with his actions.

Even now, Connor, still feeling his blood and qi surging uncontrollably, couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. From their recent exchange, Connor was quite clear about the difference in strength between himself and Bispin. As an alchemist, Connor could also immediately recognize the origin of the ring Bispin was wearing. This ring was called the Vecino Ring, a classic level-two enchanted item in the wizarding world that resists mental attacks.

Bispin put on the Vecino Ring. Although Connor's mental storm could still affect him, it was no longer realistic to seriously injure him with it. As a mental wizard, Connor was essentially crippled if his mental attacks were restricted.

Realizing this, and considering that Varga should have already arrived at the Mosis Hotel, Connor lost his will to fight and didn't want to continue this almost certain defeat. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he wanted to take out two smoke bombs from his spatial ring and use them as cover to escape back to Frosinone city and reunite with Varga.

Connor's plan was good, but Bispin was a seasoned veteran. He knew exactly what Connor was up to at a glance. Without the slightest hesitation, Bispin, with a cold smile on his lips, threw two more punches at Connor.

Having just experienced the power of Bispin's fist and learned his lesson, Connor's heart tightened when faced with the two pale blue fist shadows approaching. He dared not do two things at once, so he could only silently recite the incantation in his mind and immediately activate the black magic robe on his body to try to dodge the attack.

Connor reacted quickly this time. With a flash of his black magic robe, he dodged the two blue fist shadows. However, just as Connor appeared next to a large redwood tree five meters away, before he could make his next move, he found that Bispin, who was holding a giant steel shield, had already rushed into the distance and was three meters in front of him!
