Wizard Earl

Firo was instantly enraged by Connor's outrageous demand for his meditation technique. A fierce glint appeared in his eyes as he said expressionlessly, "Connor, do you think that's possible?"

"In this world, as long as the interests are sufficient, nothing is impossible to negotiate!" Connor said calmly, seemingly oblivious to Philo's anger.

Connor was not surprised by Philo's reaction. In fact, if Philo had asked him for the "Abyss Secrets," Connor might have reacted even more aggressively.

Sensing the deeper meaning in Connor's words, Philo's eyes still held a fierce glint, but he clearly regained his composure. He gave Connor a deep look, then coldly said, "Connor Ferguson, don't think I'm begging you to join forces. To Reyes, you're just a fat pig he's keeping. And you're a full-fledged wizard now, fat enough for him to slaughter and eat. So, Connor Ferguson, you don't have much time left. Cooperating with me is your only chance!"

Philo's words were so harsh, but Connor wasn't angry at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his face, and he calmly said, "Philo, what you said in the first part is true. Reyes is indeed giving me little time left. But cooperating with you isn't my only option. Reyes is my mentor. Most of my skills come from him. I know how powerful he is better than anyone else. You don't really think that I, Connor Ferguson, am completely unprepared to face his threat, do you?"

Seeing Connor's confident demeanor, Philo, who had investigated Connor, naturally understood what Connor meant. After a few seconds of silence, Philo warned, "The Duke's faction is just using you! Connor, they don't really want to help you!"

No sooner had Philo finished speaking than a smile reappeared on Connor's angular face. He said to Philo sarcastically, "Philo, are you trying to tell me you really want to help me?"

Feeling the sarcasm in Connor's words, Philo, who had initially wanted to admit that she genuinely wanted to help Connor, ultimately lost face and kept quiet about whether she really wanted to help him or not.

After mocking Philo, Connor's smile faded, and he looked at Philo seriously, saying, "Philo, this is our first meeting. To be honest, I don't trust you, and I believe you don't trust me either. If you really want to cooperate with me, you'd better show your sincerity!"

After listening to Connor's explanation of the Black Abyss, Philo immediately fell into deep thought. After a long while, he seemed to have made a decision and said to Connor, "Connor, you are practicing the Abyss Secret Technique. The power of this meditation method is in no way inferior to the Blood Moon Codex, and may even be slightly superior!"

"And most importantly, Connor Ferguson, you possess a mental talent. The Abyss Arcane is arguably the most suitable meditation method for you. You can't possibly switch to the Blood Moon Codex. So, what exactly do you want to do with the Blood Moon Codex from me?"

Seeing that Firo had immediately grasped the crux of the matter, Connor was not surprised. After all, Firo had investigated him, and all the information was on the table. As long as Firo wasn't stupid, he should be able to analyze that as a mental wizard, he didn't need a high-level meditation technique with blood attribute energy!

"I can't tell you its purpose. The only thing I can say is that I have no ill intentions towards you!" Connor shook his head slightly and said to Philo.

As a priestess of the Storm Church, Margaret's identity is usually a very useful protective shield. However, if the Storm Church were to discover that Margaret practices forbidden arts like blood witchcraft, then that protective shield would instantly become a death warrant for Margaret. Therefore, no matter what, Connor must ensure that Margaret's identity is kept absolutely secret. Once Firo becomes aware of Margaret's existence, Connor will only have one option left: to silence Firo!

Although Connor chose to remain silent, Philo seemed to have some idea of ​​Connor's reason for wanting the Blood Moon Codex. After a moment's thought, he proposed to Connor, "Since you've mentioned sincerity, then I'll give you, Connor Ferguson, face. Connor, I'll tell you my plan to deal with Reyes. Connor, you only need to answer one question for me, how about that?"

Connor fell into thought upon hearing Philo's suggestion. Although he was interested in Philo's plan to deal with Reyes, he was certain that Philo's question was related to why he needed the Blood Moon Codex, which was not a question Connor wanted to answer.

Seeing Connor lost in thought, Philo added fuel to the fire, stating firmly, "Connor, if you're unwilling to answer my questions, I cannot hand over the Blood Moon Codex to you. However, if your needs are what I'm looking for, then perhaps we have another way to resolve this matter!"

Philo's words were the final straw that broke Connor's back, but they also gave him a glimmer of hope. Although Margaret said that the Blood Moon Codex was the only way to solve her current physical condition, it was only her opinion. As a wizard who practiced the Blood Moon Codex, Philo might have other ways to solve everything!

After some thought, Connor nodded to Philo, indicating his agreement to his suggestion. Philo's expression turned serious. He erected a soundproof barrier, trapping both Connor and Philo inside, and then lowered his voice to Connor, saying, "I have reliable information that Reyes has an irreconcilable conflict of interest with a Level 3 wizard. This Level 3 wizard is very decisive, and he is very likely to launch a swift and decisive attack on Reyes in the near future!"

"Twenty years ago, not long after Reyes became a Level Two Wizard, a Level Three Wizard attacked him, but unfortunately, Reyes managed to escape, suffering very serious injuries. After disappearing for a while, he made a comeback and became active again. So, although the Level Three Wizard who attacked Reyes this time is stronger than the last one, I still believe Reyes will survive!"

"It's certain that even if Reyes survives this time, he will be severely injured and will have to retreat again to recuperate for a while. Connor, as Reyes's student, where do you think Reyes will go to recuperate during this period?" At this point, Philo looked intently at Connor.
