Wizard Earl

Seeing that Milik finally understood his intentions, Christant gave him a look that said, "You're a quick learner," and then said with a sneer, "Connor Ferguson just told me that he learned about my identity through the Secret Society's channels... Heh heh, does he think he can fool me like that?"

"Our informants in the Secret Society reported that although Connor Ferguson is Reyes's student, he doesn't have close ties with the Society. So it's impossible for him to have gotten the information from them. And most importantly, even Reyes doesn't know my identity, so how could Connor Ferguson possibly know it through the Society?"

"Compared to our last meeting, Connor Ferguson's attitude towards me today has completely changed. Such a rapid shift in attitude in such a short time confirms that he didn't know my identity last time we met. Therefore, he must have learned of this after going to Ipurua City. Without a doubt, Philo is the prime suspect!"

"In Ipurua, I set up such a perfect scheme, but Connor Ferguson still discovered it. I suspected that someone was behind it all, and now it seems that's true!" Christant analyzed calmly, his tone very confident, clearly very confident in his judgment.

Upon hearing Christant's analysis, Milik, who already harbored suspicions about Philo, immediately launched into a tirade, shouting, "That bastard Philo is utterly untrustworthy! He dares to play tricks behind my back; he's courting death!"

"Van de Beek is too green. Partnering him with the seasoned veteran Firo would make him easy prey for Firo. I've already brought Van de Beek back. From now on, Milik, you'll partner with Firo to search for the ruins around Frosinone!" Christant instructed Milik.

Having received the task from Christant, Milik's fierce face lit up with excitement. He nodded emphatically and said, "I'll give Firo a good talking-to and make him serve the church obediently!"

Seeing how excited Milik was, Christant hesitated for a moment, then took out a ring with some kind of white gemstone from his spatial ring and handed it to Milik.

Although he didn't know what the white gemstone ring was or what its function was, Milik didn't hesitate and decisively took the white gemstone ring from Christant's hand because he trusted Christant.

As Milik curiously examined the white gemstone ring, Christant instructed him, "If that guy Philo doesn't pull any tricks, and it's for the Church's sake, then fine. Given the Church's tolerance and mercy, they won't mind letting him continue as an informant. But if he has any other intentions, Milik, just kill him without asking me!"

"As for this white gemstone ring, it will be of great help to your operation. Milik, you just need to destroy it next to Firo before you make a move against him, and Firo will naturally be in agony and at your mercy!" Christant's face was full of ruthlessness as he finished speaking, and he even made a downward chopping gesture.

Hearing Christant's explanation, Milik seemed to realize something, and looking at the white gemstone ring on his hand, he said with some emotion, "The rumors are actually true. The rune tokens they hold are indeed connected to their spirits..."

"Of course it's true. Although Cardinal Hummels is magnanimous and willing to give these dark wizards a chance to repent and redeem themselves, there are inevitably some stubborn individuals who don't know how to cherish it and even want to betray the Church. Therefore, the Church is naturally prepared to deal with such people and is ready to strike them with lightning speed at any time!" Christant said quite naturally.

Nodding excitedly, Milik carefully placed the white gemstone ring into his pocket. Seeing that Christant had nothing else to tell him, he gave Christant a slight bow, then turned and walked straight out of the room to do his work.

With Milik gone, only Christant remained in the private room. After pondering for a few seconds, Christant turned his gaze back to the small green stone lying quietly in the wooden box. A cold smile gradually rose on his aged face again. The next second, he took out a light blue jade box with a cold aura from his spatial ring, and then waved his hand at the small green stone. The stone immediately flew obediently into the jade box he had taken out.

Seeing the pale green stone enveloped by the cold air in the jade box, the cautious and experienced Christant was still somewhat uneasy. He took out a rune badge of the Church of Storms from his spatial ring and put it into the pale blue jade box as well. With the addition of this rune badge, the restriction on the green stone in the jade box was obviously greatly strengthened.

Seeing this, Christant nodded in satisfaction, put the light blue jade box back into his spatial ring, and muttered to himself, "Connor Ferguson, I'd like to see what tricks you're trying to play on me..."

After his meeting with Christante, Connor left the Killian Tavern and immediately returned to the Hoffenheim neighborhood where Ferguson's mansion was located. However, Connor did not return to Ferguson's mansion to meet with Varga. Instead, he went to the tavern opposite the mansion to meet with De Zerby, the priest of the Church of Storms who was in charge of monitoring Ferguson's mansion.

De Zelby was clearly prepared for Connor's arrival and not surprised at all. He calmly invited Connor to sit down and then very politely asked, "Earl Connor, what would you like to drink?"

Connor was somewhat surprised to see Dezelby being so polite. In his mind, the Storm Church wizards, including Margaret, were all arrogant and haughty. It was rare to find someone as polite as Dezelby.

Moreover, this guy was warned by me with my mental power last time, yet he can still greet me with a smile now. Putting everything else aside, Dezelby's composure is truly first-rate. Observing the genuine expression on Dezelby's face, Connor couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
