"Ever since the day I became sensible, I knew that my father, from the moment he met Reyes, the Secret Society's professor, was deeply envious of Reyes's rapid progress in his cultivation, his unfathomable mental strength, and his superb alchemy."
"When he found out that Reyes's achievements all originated from that mysterious ruin, my father's greedy nature made him extremely interested in the mysterious ruin behind Reyes's back. He had been secretly searching for clues behind Reyes's back!"
"Finally, one day, when he found out that Reyes was heading to that mysterious ruin and was hiding for a period of time, my father couldn't hold back his greed and secretly followed Reyes to Flosinone's territory!"
"Just when my father thought that he was going to uncover Reyes's secret and was secretly excited, he was discovered by Reyes."
"Actually, it's normal. At that time, although Reyes and my father were both level 1 wizards, Reyes was not only stronger than my father in terms of cultivation, but also because he was an alchemist, his magic items were undoubtedly stronger than my father's by a level."
"In addition, besides being an alchemist, Reyes was also a spiritual force wizard. Just like you, Connor, his spiritual force was far superior to wizards of the same level. It was already very good that my father could secretly follow Reyes to Flosinone's territory. How could he have followed Reyes all this time without being discovered?"
"My father was blinded by greed at that time, so he didn't think of that …" Firo couldn't help but sigh bitterly when he said that.
After taking a few seconds to adjust his emotions, Firo continued, "In the battle with Reyes, even though my father tried his best, he still couldn't defeat Reyes and was severely injured. However, my father also used all the blood witchcraft that he had cultivated his entire life to escape from Reyes's pursuit. He held on to his last breath and escaped back to my family. He told me everything he discovered about Reyes and died the next day!"
"Before my father died, the most important thing that he told me was that the ruins existed. Although Reyes had set up some kind of maze around the ruins and my father couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the ruins, he buried a Blood Condensation Bead that was condensed from his own blood near the ruins!"
"This kind of Blood Condensation Bead can only be condensed when one's blood witchcraft reaches a certain level. Once it's buried underground, no matter how strong one's mind power is, they won't be able to find it. Only those who are related by blood can sense the presence of the Blood Condensation Bead when they are nearby. I already sensed the Blood Condensation Bead that my father left behind in that direction!" Firo then pointed in the direction where he was standing on the pine tree and looking into the distance.
After listening to Firo's explanation, Connor's gaze followed the direction Firo was pointing in. He saw a small hill with all kinds of plants growing on it. Although it was full of life, it would be an exaggeration to say that small hills like this were everywhere in the Navas Forest. However, along the way, Connor had seen at least five or six of them.
After looking into the distance for a few seconds, Connor didn't discover anything. His right hand gently brushed against the space ring, and the Silver Pendant appeared in his right hand in the next second. Connor squinted his eyes and held the Silver Pendant tightly in his right hand. Under the enhancement of the Silver Pendant's mental power, he sensed the situation of the unknown small hill.
Seeing Connor's mental power, a subtle change flashed through Firo's eyes, but he didn't disturb Connor. Instead, he let Connor inspect the small hill to his heart's content.
A minute later, Connor stopped the inspection and put the Silver Pendant back into the space ring. He was lost in thought for a short while. Although Firo's story was self-consistent, and Connor didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, Firo was always vigilant and suspicious, so Connor was skeptical of what Firo said.
During the inspection, Connor didn't find anything in the small hill. Except for discovering a family of 15 magic beasts hiding in the small hill, which were very common magic beasts living in groups in the Navas Forest, Connor didn't find any other valuable clues. He couldn't help but wonder why Firo had chosen this small hill.
"Why did you tell me this clue?" After thinking for a while, Connor raised his head and asked Firo.
If what Firo said was true, he could have kept it from Connor and pretended that nothing had happened. He could have continued to follow Connor to the Green Leaf Slope. If he didn't find anything at the Green Leaf Slope, he could have left alone and come back here. He could have monopolized this relic all by himself!
Hearing Connor's question, Firo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Connor, I know you're worried that I might be lying, but I want to tell you that if I had the ability to monopolize this relic right now, I certainly wouldn't tell you. Unfortunately, I can't do it alone!"
In the end, Firo spread his hands helplessly and continued, "Reyes isn't a fool. This relic is very important to him, so there must be a magic circle protecting it. I'm not an alchemist, so I don't know how to break the magic circle. In addition, I'm seriously injured now, so it's impossible for me to break the magic circle by force. Therefore, I need Connor's help to find the relic in the small hill. Otherwise, even if I know that the relic I'm looking for is in that small hill, there's nothing I can do!"
"In addition, if we really arrive at the Green Leaf Slope and still can't find the relic, Connor, I'm sure you won't be able to bear it anymore, right?" Firo changed his tone and said meaningfully.
Connor didn't say anything. He still looked at Firo calmly. Seeing that Connor was still pretending to be thoughtful and waiting for the best offer, Firo simply made it clear. He looked at Connor and continued.
"Connor, although I've offended you before, you don't have to keep harping on it. In addition, I've already compensated you by giving you a blood witchcraft spell to save people. Why do you keep racking your brains to hurt me? When we arrive at the Green Leaf Slope later, if we still can't find the relic, Connor Ferguson, if I'm right, you'll definitely take action, right? " After that, Firo stared at Connor in front of him with burning eyes. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through Connor's heart clearly.
