Dezerby was not surprised that Milik had seen through his plan. He had never hoped that his plan could be hidden from Milik, but Dezerby was still a little surprised that Milik had seen through his plan. After all, at least on the surface, Dezerby was persuading Connor to follow Milik's plan in front of everyone. If it were an ordinary person, even if they had discovered something fishy, it would be impossible for them to be so straightforward.
Despite his surprise, Dezerby had been in the Church of the Lord of Storms for so many years. Naturally, he wasn't a pushover. Previously, he was forced to swallow his pride in front of Milick because he didn't have an excuse. But now that Connor had taken over the matter and given him a reasonable excuse, he naturally wasn't to be outdone. He said coldly to Milick, "Milick, I'm not a pushover.
"Milik, don't slander me here. What do you mean by colluding with evil? What do you mean by complying on the surface but opposing on the surface? I have already promised you to hunt down Firo. What else do you want me to do?"
"You did not handle Firo's matter properly. I have already promised to make up for your mistake. Milik, what else do you want? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have the trust of Red-cloaked Archbishop Hummel. You are going too far here! "
After fiercely criticizing Milik, Dezerby immediately smoothed things over and continued to put on an act as he said to Connor, "Connor, just treat it as helping Milik, okay? If he can't complete this matter, he will definitely be punished by Red-cloaked Archbishop Hummel when he returns to our Church! "
"I don't care! Cristante told me that he was only here to look for the ruins, not to help you hunt down Firo here! Who doesn't know of Firo's prowess? If you want to find trouble with him, go ahead. What does it have to do with a dark Magus like me? "Connor did not give Dezerby any face and directly retorted.
Seeing that Connor and Dezerby were echoing each other and did not seem to care about him at all, Milik, who was standing at the side, was undoubtedly furious. The veins on his forehead were faintly visible. However, in a situation where Dezerby was obviously siding with Connor, Milik could only glare coldly at Connor and Dezerby.
Waving the storm token in his hand, Milik pointed at Connor and ordered Dezerby, "Since this filthy dark Magus Connor Ferguson is unwilling to pledge allegiance to the Church and hunt down Firo, then Dezerby, I order you to get rid of him now!"
Sensing that Milik was a little crazy, Dezerby did not wait for Connor to speak and instead frowned and said bluntly, "When we set off from Flosinone, Director Cristante had already instructed me to get rid of Connor Ferguson if I failed my mission and did not find the ruins."
"However, our mission is currently in progress, and we have yet to determine whether it will be a success or a failure. Hence, Milik, your order is already in violation of the mission I am currently carrying out!"
"Milick, if you want me to help you kill Firo, I can help you. But if you want me to go against Cardinal Hummel's orders, then I can only refuse!" After saying that, Dezerby shook his head heavily to express his resolute attitude. "Milick, if you want me to help you kill Firo, then I can only refuse!"
Sensing Dezerby's attitude, Milik, who knew that he would not be able to gain the upper hand, tightly held onto the storm token in his hand. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said to Dezerby word by word, "Since you are unwilling to kill Connor, then let him search for the ruins alone first. You bring some people and follow me to hunt down Firo!"
Although it seemed that Milik had already compromised, Dezerby did not buy it. He spread out his hands and said somewhat helplessly, "Milik, I think you have misunderstood. It is not that I am unwilling to kill Connor Ferguson. I am a priest of the Church of the Storm, and Connor Ferguson is a dark Magus. How can I not be willing to kill him?"
"As for why I am not killing Connor Ferguson now, it is because he is still useful to the Church. We need him to help the Church find the existence of the ruins. When he fails to find the ruins and triggers the secret mission that Director Cristante has given me, Milik, I will be the first to kill him!"
"Another thing is that the mission that Cardinal Hummel has given me is to monitor Connor's search for the ruins. I must ensure that Connor is within my sight. Therefore, you want me to bring some people with you to hunt down Firo and let Connor search for the ruins alone. This goes against my current mission!"
After listening to Dezerby's explanation, Connor, who knew what was going on, sneered at Milik sarcastically. He then ignored him and walked straight towards the forest in the distance.
Seeing that Connor was about to leave, Dezerby knew that he had succeeded. However, he still pretended to be helpless and shook his head at Milik. He then turned around and waved his hand, and the five Adjudicators of the Church of the Storm followed behind Connor. Only Milik, who was holding the Storm Token, was left behind.
As he watched Connor and Dezerby swagger away in front of him, Milik was so angry that his scarred face turned an ugly shade of red. If it weren't for the fact that he had to chase down Firo to make up for his mistake and that he couldn't waste too much energy on Connor Ferguson, he wouldn't have let them leave so easily no matter what Milik said today.
"Dezerby, Connor Ferguson, you two damn bastards. I will remember what you did today. Let's play slowly!" Milik muttered to himself in a cold and resentful voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Milik kept the Storm Token in his interspatial ring and flew towards the northwest where Firo was. He had already been delayed by Dezerby last night. Now, he had to speed up and chase down Firo.
Looking at Milik flying towards the northwest alone, Dezerby couldn't help but feel excited. He transmitted his voice to Connor, "You really made a wise choice!"
After hearing Dezerby's transmission, Connor, who was walking at the front of the group, sneered in his heart. He didn't reply to Dezerby's transmission and continued to lead the group forward.
