Connor sneered when he heard Dezerby's words. He continued to pretend that he didn't know anything. He shrugged and asked, "Mr. Dezerby? You've really confused me. What did I scheme against you? Even though I was the one who suggested the plan, you agreed to it too! "
"Hmph!"
Dezerby snorted when he sensed Connor's attitude. He swept a cold glance at Connor and said in a deep voice, "Connor, we both know what you've done. You don't have to act innocent here. When we return to Flosinone, I will definitely report everything you've done to the higher-ups!"
Dezerby then walked to the side of the waterfall and took out some medicine to recover his strength. The few Adjudicators of the Church of the Storm who followed behind him also imitated Dezerby.
Dezerby wasn't a willful person. If Milik didn't appear and he came out to deal with Connor alone, no matter how much he hated Connor for setting him up, he wouldn't fall out with Connor in public. He would endure it and wait until they returned to Flosinone. After all, Connor was stronger than him and he wouldn't have a good ending if he faced Connor alone.
However, things were different now. Even though he was a few decades older than Milik, Dezerby felt that he could rely on Milik's appearance. He knew how strong Milik was. With Milik's help and the Adjudicators of the Church of the Storm around him, Dezerby had the courage to fall out with Connor. He even vaguely considered joining forces with Milik to carry out the secret mission that Cristante gave him to kill Connor.
Seeing Dezerby's attitude towards him, Connor wasn't dissatisfied. He just shook his head and looked very helpless. Seeing Connor's expression, the white-robed, scar-faced wizard who didn't sit with Dezerby looked at Connor from head to toe and asked, "Are you Connor Ferguson?"
"If there isn't another Connor Ferguson here, then the person you're talking about is me!" Connor looked at the wizard and said jokingly.
Ten minutes ago, when Connor realized that this scar-faced wizard had discovered his mental strength, he immediately decided to withdraw his mental strength. After that, he began to seriously think about why he felt a familiar aura from this scar-faced wizard whom he had never met before.
Connor's memory was pretty good, so he quickly recalled the negotiation he had with Cristante in Flosinone's Bar. Although that negotiation seemed to be the location and time chosen by Connor to meet with Cristante, Cristante was the one who had chosen the location and time of the negotiation.
However, at that time, Flosinone could be said to be Cristante's home ground. In reality, that was a "Feast at Treacherous Gate" that Cristante had set up for Connor. If Connor was the slightest bit careless, there was a high chance that he would fall into a situation where he would never be able to recover from.
While Connor and Cristante were discussing matters, in the private room next door, Cristante had arranged for an official Magus to be in charge of ambushing them. This guy's skills were very high, and he was able to quietly hide behind a wall. If it wasn't for Connor's amazing mental strength, he wouldn't have been able to discover this person. However, at that time, although Connor discovered the ambush and gave the other party a small warning before he left, he didn't see the face of this mysterious Magus who was lying in ambush in the room next door.
Originally, this matter wasn't considered a big deal, and it had been a long time, so Connor had already forgotten about it. However, at this moment, the appearance of this white-robed scar-faced Magus once again reminded Connor of this matter. In Connor's opinion, this person was the one who had quietly ambushed him in the room next door in Gilian's Bar that day.
In addition, Connor had another guess about this person's identity …
According to Firo's description in the forest just now, the genius Magus of the Church of the Storm named Milik was relentlessly pursuing him in this Navas Forest where countless magical beasts were hidden.
If Firo was right, since Firo had appeared here to meet him, then there was an 80% to 90% chance that Milik was nearby. In this way, Connor finally knew the true identity of this white-robed scar-faced Magus who had followed Dezerby back.
Milik, who still didn't know his true identity and had already been guessed by Connor, raised his sword-like eyebrows after hearing Connor's joke. He looked at Connor with a faint smile and said, "Do you know who I am?"
"Yes, a Magus of the Church of the Storm!" Connor nodded and pretended to be honest.
Ignoring Connor's teasing, Milik said in a deep voice, "My name is Milik. Connor Ferguson, you may have already heard of my name and my style of doing things. Therefore, I would like to ask you, a hereditary Earl of the Empire, to put up a meaningless resistance and work for the Church of the Storm. This is the best choice for you!"
After saying that, Milik didn't have the intention to talk nonsense with Connor and turned to leave. However, what was worth pondering over was that Milik, who was also a Magus of the Church of the Storm like Dezerby, didn't sit beside Dezerby like the other Arbitrators. Instead, he sat at an empty spot beside the small waterfall and cultivated alone. It seemed that his relationship with Dezerby wasn't particularly good.
Seeing Milik's actions, Connor maintained a calm expression, but his heart was rather heavy. From Milik's warning to him, it was obvious that he was hostile towards him. In such a sensitive situation, Milik's arrival was undoubtedly very likely to break the fragile balance between Connor and Dezerby. This was obviously not good news for Connor.
Although he didn't deliberately observe Milik's arm, Connor used his keen perception as a Magus of the spirit attribute to feel the weak energy waves emitted from Milik's body. From the energy waves, Milik should be cultivating the storm energy produced by the orthodox meditation technique of the Church of the Storm. Other than that, there weren't any other special energy waves.
