Although Dezerby's response sounded a little unconvinced, it was enough to satisfy Milik. As long as Dezerby could help him make up for his mistake of not getting rid of Firo, he didn't care what Dezerby was really thinking. A bright smile appeared on his scarred face. He waved his hand and pointed to the northwest. "Firo is in that direction …"
Before Milik could finish his sentence, Connor, who had been sitting silently at the side, interrupted Milik and said coldly, "Stop!"
Although Connor's voice wasn't loud, it was loud enough for everyone present to hear his voice.
Milik, who was interrupted by Connor, instantly became angry. However, in view of Connor's level one wizard cultivation, Milik suppressed his anger and said word by word to Connor, "Connor Ferguson, do you have a problem with that?"
"Of course! You want to go after Firo, sure! Whoever wants to go can go, but I'm not going! "Facing Milik's angry gaze, Connor slowly stated his decision.
Dezerby, who was standing at the side and watching Connor and Milik's conflict, didn't seem to have any change in expression, but he seemed to have relaxed a lot. Ever since he discussed with Connor last night and didn't get a definite answer from Connor, he had been thinking about this matter. Now that Connor had spoken, he finally felt relieved.
Because of the storm token that symbolized Hummel's power, Dezerby didn't dare to go against Milik's plan. However, with Connor, a dark wizard, taking the lead and adding fuel to the fire, there was still room for negotiation.
After hearing Connor's provocation, Milik's expression became a little shocked. He didn't expect Connor to dare to oppose his suggestion, but soon he flew into a rage. He glared at Connor and said coldly, "Connor Ferguson, do you know what you're doing now?"
"The mission Cristante gave me was to search for the ruins, not to hunt down Firo," Nie Tian said with a grim expression. Since it's not something I want to do, why should I wipe your ass for you? "Connor wasn't afraid of Milik's threat at all.
Connor's "wipe his ass" undoubtedly provoked Milik's fragile heart. He didn't waste any more words with Connor and directly attacked. A meter long blue icicle appeared three meters in front of Connor and went straight for his waist. From where Milik was aiming, it didn't seem like he wanted to kill Connor. Instead, it seemed like he wanted to teach him a lesson.
Since Connor dared to oppose Milik, he was naturally fully prepared. Hence, even though Milik launched an unannounced sneak attack, Connor didn't panic. With a flash of his black robe, he dodged Milik's icicle attack by a hair's breadth.
"Bang!"
The icicle that Connor dodged hit a huge boulder. When the two collided, a muffled sound was heard. Then, the boulder exploded into pieces. If this had hit Connor's body, it was easy to imagine what would have happened to Connor.
After dodging Milik's sneak attack, Connor's eyes flashed coldly. With a thought, an invisible Mental Energy storm was released towards Milik. Not retaliating after being ambushed wasn't Connor Ferguson's style.
Just like how he was surprised that Connor dared to oppose him, Milik was also surprised that Connor dared to attack him. However, this guy had some skills after all. In the face of Connor's Mental Energy storm, Milik instantly condensed his mental strength and resisted Connor's attack. He wasn't hurt by the Mental Energy storm at all.
This time, both parties were very fast in their probing attacks. Before the arbitrators from the Church of the Storm could react, Connor and Milik had already finished fighting. However, after the fight, both of them knew that neither of them was easy to deal with. Hence, both of them tacitly stopped attacking and looked at each other with vigilance.
The five arbitrators from the Church of the Storm came to their senses after the fight between the two of them ended. Without waiting for Dezerby's order, they immediately surrounded Connor and waited for Dezerby's order to cut Connor into pieces.
Seeing this scene, Dezerby knew that it was time for him to make a move. He immediately stepped forward and waved his hand to signal the arbitrators from the Church of the Storm to disperse. At the same time, he said hypocritically, "Mr. Connor, you were invited by Cristante to cooperate with us. Now that the situation has changed, you should help us. How can you give up just like that? "
After receiving Dezerby's signal, although the five arbitrators from the Church of the Storm were a little hesitant, they still chose to follow Dezerby's order and returned to stand behind Dezerby. All of this was seen by Milik.
Milik was no fool. He could naturally tell that although Dezerby said that he wanted Connor to help them, the fact that Dezerby ordered his men to disperse had already exposed his true intentions. This made Milik extremely angry.
Although Milik did not have any evidence at the moment, he could naturally see everything in front of him. Connor Ferguson, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly stood up and opposed helping him to kill Firo. There must be someone behind this. As for the person who instigated Connor to oppose him, there was no doubt that it was Dezerby. There was no one else.
Realizing that Connor was just a tool that Dezerby pushed to the front to oppose him, Milik naturally did not bother to talk nonsense with Connor. He directly took out the Storm Token that symbolized Hummel's power from his space ring. Holding the token in his hand, he scolded Dezerby sternly.
"How dare you, Dezerby. I was wondering why you had to delay the entire night and come back to give me a decision this morning. It turns out that you've been colluding with this Dark Sorcerer. You've agreed to obey Cardinal Hummel's orders on the surface but disobey them on the surface. Why don't you think about the consequences of your actions?"
