After muttering to himself for a while, Connor shook his head and gave up on the idea of touching the corpse. He was a Spirit Wizard, not a Wizard who practiced Corpse Manipulation Witchcraft. Therefore, the corpse of a Wizard was of no use to him. Besides, he had no grudges with the owner of the tomb. Furthermore, he had already obtained the Crimson Cross Sword from the owner of the tomb. This was a huge benefit. Even though Connor was thick-skinned and black-hearted by nature, he still felt that it was not right to touch the corpse.
Connor took down the two unused metal brick-shaped alchemy bombs from the stone door that led to the central tomb. He had originally planned to use these two alchemy bombs to create an escape route for himself if he encountered any danger in the central tomb. Fortunately, things did not come to that, and Connor did not need to use them.
After putting away the alchemy bombs, Connor silently recited a spell. The space token in his hand suddenly burst out with a brilliant purple light. After a few seconds, Connor returned to the surface with the help of Caldara's teleportation. After retrieving the spell formation and the crystal ball that was responsible for the alert, Connor cleaned up the surrounding traces and rushed towards Dezerby. There were only three minutes left before the appointed time between him and Dezerby.
Soon, Connor returned to where Dezerby and the group of arbitrators from the Church of the Storm were. It could be seen that after the battle with the Evil Spirit Spiders, Dezerby obviously valued Connor's suggestion more. When Connor returned, Dezerby and his group of arbitrators from the Church of the Storm had already finished resting according to Connor's request. They were waiting for Connor's return so that they could prepare to depart for the next destination in the Sierra de Campania.
"Where have you been?" Seeing Connor's travel-worn appearance, Dezerby's eyes flashed with a fleeting suspicion. He then asked Connor without batting an eyelid.
After being warned by Connor with his mind power in the Ferguson Mansion, Dezerby, who deeply felt the terror of Connor, carefully read the investigation report on Connor Ferguson provided to him by Agency Blake. Through this careful observation, he had a clearer understanding of Connor.
Dezerby believed that Connor Ferguson was a man with a strong purpose, and he would never do something useless. Since Connor chose to leave alone just now, he must have gone to do something. When Dezerby asked him where he was going, Connor refused to answer, which undoubtedly made Dezerby even more curious about what Connor had been doing during the hour when he was gone.
If Dezerby hadn't recovered from the mental attack of the Evil Spirit Spiders at that time, Dezerby would never have allowed Connor to leave alone.
Although Dezerby's tone was very calm and there was nothing special about it, Connor still sensed the suspicion from his tone. However, Connor had already expected this before he took action, so he wasn't surprised at all. Glancing at Dezerby, Connor sneered and said to him, "What do I need to report to you now?"
Sensing the hostility in Connor's tone, Dezerby was a little annoyed. However, when he recalled that he didn't listen to Connor's advice and insisted on staying here an hour ago, and encountered a group of Evil Spirit Spiders, he didn't have the confidence to face Connor. He could only say embarrassedly, "Connor, we're a team, and we need to cooperate sincerely in order to complete the mission given to us by the church. If you don't want to tell me, Connor, it's fine if you don't want to tell me …"
Connor wasn't surprised by Dezerby's attitude. In order not to arouse Dezerby's suspicion, he snorted and said calmly, "Dezerby, haven't you read in the ancient books that there's that kind of magic herb around the area where the Evil Spirit Spiders are active?"
Hearing Connor's words, Dezerby was struck dumb for a second, then he immediately understood. He looked at Connor and asked, "Did you go to pick the Magic Herb?"
Connor didn't answer Dezerby's question, but a faint smile appeared on his face. Seeing this, although Dezerby didn't get an answer from Connor, he had an answer in his heart. A touch of regret immediately appeared in his eyes. No wonder Connor ignored him at the beginning when he asked Connor what he was doing. This guy is really cunning. He actually went to pick the Magic Herb alone secretly …
In the next second, the regretful De Zerby seemed to have thought of something. He looked in the direction where Connor came back, and a glint flashed across his eyes. His old face became a little hesitant, and he seemed to be eager to give it a try.
Seeing Dezerby like this, Connor naturally understood what he was thinking. He immediately took out a jade box from his interspatial ring and smiled as he said to Dezerby, "Don't think about it, all the Demon Spirit Grasses in the vicinity are here. Of course, you can stay here if you want. Let's see if you and your people can find more Demon Spirit Grasses, but I won't be keeping you company!" Dezerby nodded.
Looking at the jade box in Connor's hand, the regret in Dezerby's eyes intensified. However, since the item was in Connor's hands, he definitely couldn't snatch it away. Furthermore, what Connor said made sense. If he stayed any longer, the damned Evil Spirit Spiders might come back again. When that time came, it would really be troublesome. Although the Magic Herb was precious, it was nothing compared to his own life.
Thinking of this, Dezerby could only shake his head helplessly. He no longer doubted Connor. He then waved his hand and led the dispirited arbitrators of the church to the next location in the Sierra de Campania.
After putting the jade box in his space ring, Connor walked in the middle of the group. Although he looked very calm at this moment, if Varga and Marguerite, who were very familiar with Connor and cared for him closely, were here, they would definitely be able to see the pride behind Connor's calm expression.
After defeating the Evil Spirit Spiders, Connor discovered the opportunity that might be hidden in the ancient building deep underground. He already knew that Dezerby would definitely be suspicious after he left. Therefore, before he made a decision, Connor had already thought of an excuse to not arouse Dezerby's suspicion. And this excuse was — the Magic Herb!
