Wizard Earl

Unable to find Philo or obtain the Blood Moon Codex, and seeing Margaret's health deteriorate day by day, Connor had no choice but to return to Margaret's side with this intermediate version of blood witchcraft.

After hearing Connor's introduction, Margaret did not speak, but instead turned her gaze back to the dark red crystal ball in her hand, her eyes filled with a complex expression.

Seeing the complex look in Margaret's eyes, Connor felt a pang of pain in his heart. He immediately made a solemn promise to Margaret, "Margaret, I will definitely find that bastard Philo and bring you the Blood Moon Codex!"

"Connor, I believe in you!"

Margaret smiled slightly at Connor and said earnestly, "I love you." After she finished speaking, the two looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and held hands, snuggling together to continue admiring the magnificent sea of ​​flowers in front of them.

Although the intermediate version of blood witchcraft contained in the dark red crystal ball given by Philo was a slow-acting poison, and switching to this skill was tantamount to slow suicide, both Connor and Margaret understood that they had no choice in the face of reality. If they didn't switch to this intermediate version of blood witchcraft and continued with the status quo, Margaret's physical condition would deteriorate even faster and in an irreversible direction. By switching to this intermediate version of blood witchcraft, Margaret had at least five years to plan her move carefully!

Five years is enough time for a sorcerer to do many things, such as planning how to find Philo again and obtain the Blood Moon Codex from him to completely change Margaret's dangerous situation!

Ten minutes later, Margaret seemed to have thought of something and asked Connor, "Connor, judging from Philo's actions, he seems to have quite a few plans for you. Didn't you have a proper talk with him this time?"

Connor hesitated at Margaret's question, unsure how to answer. Just as he was pondering his answer, Margaret seemed to sense his hesitation, her expression turning slightly displeased, but she still feigned generosity, saying, "If Connor has anything he needs to keep secret, it's okay if he doesn't tell me!"

Sensing the emotion in Margaret's words, Connor shook his head helplessly. With a thought, he conjured an invisible barrier, enveloping him and Margaret. Seeing Connor's action, Margaret was slightly surprised. Knowing Connor well, she understood that his actions meant the matter was very important and had to be kept absolutely secret. Her expression immediately became serious and earnest.

With the barrier protecting him, Connor had no more reservations and told Margaret everything that Firo had told him.

After listening to Connor's account, Margaret was astonished by the sheer amount of information and remained silent for a long time, lost in thought.

It took Margaret a long time to process the message in Connor's words. She then said to Connor, "Connor, once I successfully switch to this intermediate version of Blood Witchcraft, my strength will no longer be limited. Mentor, I'll go with you to the Navas Forest. The two of us can look after each other!"

"There's no rush with the Navas jungle matter. After I get back, I plan to clean up the parasites in our Ferguson family. It'll take at least a month or two!" Connor waved his hand and said. When he left Frosinone, he promised Varga that he would clean up the family when he returned and then take her back to the Ferguson family. Now it's time to fulfill his promise to the family!

Seeing that Connor had already made up his mind, Margaret didn't say anything more about it. She turned to Connor and said, "Connor, putting aside the feasibility of Philo's plan, I always felt that Philo's motives for killing Reyes weren't as simple as he claimed—avoiding revenge for his father!"

Hearing Margaret's thoughts, Connor sneered, "Of course, the story Philo told me, although he embellished it a lot to make his father seem less bad."

"But I prefer to believe another version: his father was greedy enough to be blinded by Reyes' success and wanted to inherit Reyes' legacy. So he has been investigating where the ancient ruins where Reyes obtained the legacy are located, and he has successfully found out some information. That is why Philo is now in Frosinone. I'm sure that although we have lost his location and can't find him now, this guy is definitely still wandering around the area around Frosinone, searching for that ruin. It won't be long before we meet him again."

"I suspect that twenty years ago, Reyes didn't actually invite Philo's father to explore some mysterious ruins as Philo claimed. The truth is most likely that Philo's father secretly went to the ruins, was discovered by Reyes, and then had his father killed!"

"As for Philo's current desire to kill Reyes, there is certainly an element of revenge for his father involved, but I think more importantly, he, like his father, is greedy for that relic and wants a share of it. This can be seen from his plan to find the relic and then make his move against Reyes within it!"

Hearing Connor state his thoughts, Margaret said quietly, "Connor, you're still so calm. Now that you've made your judgment about Philo, what are your plans next? Do you intend to cooperate with Philo or not?"

"I'll observe first. I'm not in a hurry. I plan to wait until I return from the Navas Forest and see what I've gained before making a decision. Philo is a ravenous wolf. There's no way I can cooperate with him. The only thing we can do is use each other. He uses me to find the ruins, and I use him to kill Reyes. If our common enemy, Reyes, is gone, we'll no longer have a common enemy, and we'll definitely fight to the death for those ruins!" Connor said calmly, but a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes as he spoke.

If all the information Philo provided is true, then the value of this relic that allowed Reyes to inherit the legacy to Connor, who is of the same lineage as Reyes, is self-evident. Such a great benefit, and it is also related to his cultivation of the "Abyss Secret Technique," Connor cannot think of any reason for him to share it with Philo. How can he tolerate someone else snoring beside his bed?

Since he couldn't tolerate it, Connor's only remaining option was to eliminate Firo. This would also help Margaret obtain the Blood Moon Codex and resolve all the hidden dangers in her cultivation. Therefore, eliminating Firo was entirely in Connor's interest, and he would do it without hesitation given the opportunity!
