In response to Connor's question, Firo fell into silence again under Connor's gaze. Seeing that, Connor suddenly had a bad feeling. He knew that since Firo chose to remain silent, there was no doubt that he admitted that the Church of the Storm had indeed done something to him.
A dozen seconds later, just as Connor's patience was about to run out, Firo spoke again. "Connor, do you still remember the runic token that the Church of the Lord of Storms gave me the last time we were in Iprua? Do you still remember the runic token that I showed you the last time?"
"Although Cristante didn't say it, I could sense that they had done something to me with that rune token. Although I was aware of it at the time, I was seriously injured in Spar Town. I was like a fish on a chopping board. My life was in their hands, so I could only swallow it!" In the end, no matter how hard Firo tried to hide it, Connor could still hear the grievance and helplessness in his tone.
Although Firo was also a victim, Connor was still enraged by his words. He said to Firo angrily, "Firo, you damn bastard. Why didn't you tell me such important news the last time we met?"
In the face of Connor's angry questioning, Firo seemed to have expected it. He said to Connor through telepathy apologetically, "Connor, I understand how you feel, but if I had told you this last time, you would never have cooperated with me, so I'm very sorry … But Connor, don't worry. Since I knew they had done something to me, I'm naturally prepared. Have you heard of the Demon Blood Golem?"
Hearing the name "Demon Blood Golem" from Firo, Connor, who was originally full of anger, suddenly realized something. A touch of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he asked Firo in confusion, "Have you succeeded in cultivating it?"
"Alas …"
In response to Connor's question, Firo first sighed helplessly, then explained to Connor, "With my current ability, I'm naturally still a little far from being able to cultivate the Demon Blood Golem successfully, but my father left me a prototype of the Demon Blood Golem before he went to the relics with your master, Reyes. After years of continuous sacrificial refining, I'm barely able to use it."
"Because the Demon Blood Golem consumes too much with my current magical power, my magical power will be exhausted after using it, so I've never used it on anyone. Therefore, the Church of the Storm didn't take any precautions against it. Therefore, no matter what the Church of the Storm did to me, I can transfer it to the Demon Blood Golem. This is also why I can continue to endure even though I know that those bastards from the Church of the Storm are doing something to me."
After listening to Firo's explanation and recalling the description of the Demon Blood Golem's power in the ancient book, Connor's anger towards Firo's deceit gradually subsided, and he regained his composure. After pondering for a while, he said to Firo in a deep voice, "Is this why you want me to help you prepare the potion to quickly recover your magical power, the alchemy bomb, and the communication enchanted item?"
"That's right. If the Church of the Storm really wants to kill me, then I definitely won't let them kill me. However, after using the Demon Blood Golem, I'll enter a period of weakness due to the exhaustion of my magical power. Therefore, during this period, I need to quickly recover my magical power and use the alchemy bomb to buy time for me. As for the communication enchanted item, Connor, you know that we need to work together!" Firo said honestly.
In the end, in order to make Connor give him the items, Firo added sincerely, "Connor, trust me. We're in the same situation and have the same goal. If you help me now, you'll be helping yourself. There will only be benefits and no disadvantages for you!"
"If I die, Connor Ferguson, not only will you have one less person to help you deal with Reyes, but the Church of the Storm's attention will also be focused on you. At that time, no matter what you do, your hands and feet will be tied. With me around, you'll be under a lot less pressure!"
Although Connor was a little angry at Firo's deception, after calming down, he had to admit that Firo's words were very reasonable. Based on the current situation, Firo's existence was still very beneficial to him. At least he could ensure that the people of the Church of the Storm wouldn't all focus on him.
"Firo, other than this situation, you're not hiding anything from me about that damned plan of yours, are you?" Connor's gaze was cold as he asked in a cold voice.
"That's the only problem! I guarantee that there are no other problems! "Seeing that Connor chose to tolerate him for the sake of the big picture, Firo said with certainty.
"Hmph! Firo, I'm warning you, if you dare to trick me again and scheme against me behind my back, I won't even need the Church of the Storm, I'll be the first to get rid of you! " Although Connor chose to tolerate him due to the circumstances, he still couldn't take it lying down and warned Firo in a gloomy voice.
Facing Connor's warning, Firo, who knew that he was in the wrong, didn't have the face to say anything. He could only endure it very sullenly.
Taking out his pocket watch and looking at the time, Connor frowned slightly. Because of the incident with Firo, his meeting with Firo was now longer than expected. He had to return to the Ferguson Residence before Dezerby returned to the hotel in front of the Ferguson Residence. This meant that he didn't have time to waste with Firo!
Taking a deep breath, Connor didn't waste any more words with Firo. He stood up directly and returned the book in his hand to its original position. He also took out a black package from his space ring and placed it in a secluded corner of the bookstore. After doing all this, Connor casually chose a few books from the bookshelf, paid the bill, and walked out of the bookstore.
Although Connor's series of actions were considered covert, it naturally didn't escape the eyes of Firo, who was disguised as a white-haired old man. However, Firo didn't immediately act to take the black package that Connor put down.
Instead, after Connor left, Firo waited for a few more minutes before closing the academic material in his hand titled "The Role and Practice of Roberto Sorano's Law in Chemistry". Then he walked to the black package and quietly put it into his space ring. Then he paid the bill for the academic material in his hand and walked out of the bookstore.
