Seeing that Connor did not say anything, and only his eyes kept flickering, Dezerby thought that Connor had been moved by his words. Moreover, he had been out to meet with Connor for quite some time, and if he delayed any longer, Milik might become suspicious. Thus, he revealed his true intentions, "Connor, you're a smart man. You'll definitely understand this!"
"If I agree to Milik's request, all of us will be in trouble, but you, Connor Ferguson, will definitely be the first to suffer! When that time comes, all the work of blocking and bringing up the rear will undoubtedly be done by you! "
"Even if we really manage to catch up to Firo, due to the mission given to me by Cristante, we'll definitely get rid of you. When that time comes, you'll be facing me, Milik, and five arbitrators from the Church. Connor Ferguson, you're powerful, but under such circumstances, do you think your chances of survival are high?"
"And if you step in and mess up Milik's matter, we can continue with our original plan. This way, the risk we have to bear in the Navas Forest will be greatly reduced! Although Cardinal Hummel is very powerful in the Church, you're a dark Magus. You don't have to care about him. "
"Moreover, as long as you step in and mess up this matter, with Milik's personality, he'll definitely not stay here. Even if he's alone, he'll definitely continue to pursue Firo in the Navas Forest to make up for his mistakes."
"At that time, even if the worst-case scenario is that we fail to find the ruins and trigger the mission that Cristante gave me, Connor, you only need to face me and the five Arbitrators. Your chances of survival are undoubtedly higher than facing me and Milick. You should know which plan is better." After laying out all his plans and bargaining chips in front of Connor, Dezerby focused his gaze on Connor, waiting for Connor to give him a final answer. "You're right. Connor Ferguson, you should know which plan is better." After laying out all his plans and bargaining chips in front of Connor, Dezerby focused his gaze on Connor, waiting for Connor to give him a final answer.
Feeling Dezerby's gaze on him, Connor had to admit that Dezerby's words were very attractive. It was also the best way to deal with the current situation. If he didn't have Firo as a backup plan, he might really agree to Dezerby's plan.
But now, after discussing it with Firo, it was impossible for Connor to give Dezerby a definite answer.
After thinking for a while, Connor said, "It's true that I'm a dark wizard, but it's not a small matter to offend a Red Cloaked Archbishop, especially one who is likely to be the next pope. I have to think about it carefully. I can't give you an answer now. How about this? You'll definitely agree to Milik's suggestion tomorrow morning. Dezerby, you'll naturally know what I'm going to do then."
After saying that, Connor ignored Dezerby and walked straight to Milik's camp. Seeing Connor's attitude, Dezerby wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. Connor gradually walked away while comforting himself that Connor didn't explicitly reject him, so he still had a chance.
On the way back to the camp, Connor walked leisurely. Not only that, but a metal ring engraved with countless runes had appeared on his right thumb. Under the cover of the night, this metal ring was emitting a faint wave of energy that was hard to detect.

The next morning, the sun rose from the horizon, and the warm sunlight shone on every corner of the Navas Forest. Milik, who had meditated for an entire night, slowly stopped and opened his eyes. Not far from him, there were only five arbitrators left in the arbitration team. He glanced at the five arbitrators, and his gaze fell on a figure in a black robe not far away.
Seeing that Connor was meditating, Milik's originally calm eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he turned his head away in disgust. Although Milik's actions were done silently, as a spiritual-type wizard, Connor, who had an extremely sharp sense of perception, still saw everything. This undoubtedly made Connor, who had already made a decision in his heart, even more determined.
Ten minutes after Milik opened his eyes, Dezerby, who had finished his night watch, walked back from the small forest at the side. Although his appearance didn't change much, it was obvious that he was very tired. As for where this fatigue came from, it wasn't clear whether it was because he was tired from the night watch, or because he had something on his mind the entire night.
Seeing that Dezerby had returned, Milik's gaze immediately locked onto him. Not only Dezerby, but the five arbitrators of the Church of the Storm also looked at Dezerby, waiting for Dezerby to make a decision. For these arbitrators of the Church of the Storm who were only sorcerer-apprentices, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that their life and death depended on Dezerby's thoughts.
Under the gaze of so many people, Dezerby did not immediately speak and tell everyone his decision. Instead, he looked around at everyone. Although it seemed that his gaze stayed on everyone for the same amount of time, Connor could feel that Dezerby's gaze stayed on him for an extra second. Connor, who had already made up his mind, sneered silently in his heart.
Milik, who was eager to kill Firo, was obviously a little impatient with Dezerby's dawdling and unwillingness to give an answer. In his opinion, Dezerby did not have the courage to oppose the Storm Token that belonged to Red-robed Archbishop Hummel in his hands. What he was doing now was undoubtedly unwillingness in his heart and a waste of time. Therefore, without hesitation, Milik directly questioned Dezerby, "Dezerby, you have one night to think about it, and I've agreed to it. Now, tell me, are you going to carry out Red-robed Archbishop Hummel's order?"
In the face of Milik's questioning, Dezerby was speechless for two seconds, then slowly said, "Since Red-robed Archbishop Hummel has given you the Storm Token, we will naturally help you get Firo back."
