"Connor, although both of us are injured, your injuries are much lighter than mine, so I'm most likely not your opponent. Once we fight, I can only run. I've been chased by Milik in the Navas Forest for a while, so I know how dangerous it is to run!"
"And I'm injured now, so I want to ask for stability. How about the two of us go according to the original plan and reap the benefits from Reyes' ruins together?" Seeing that Connor still did not express his opinion, Firo, who had already laid his cards on the table with Connor, played the last card in his hand to Connor.
Seeing that Firo seemed to have played all his cards, Connor, who was a man of few words, asked another question.
"Firo, are you sure that the ruins are hidden in that hill?
In the face of Connor's question, Firo hesitated a little, but still shook his head honestly and deliberated over his words.
He said, "Connor, I won't hide it from you. Apart from feeling the aura of the Blood Condensation Bead left by my father, I didn't find anything suspicious in that hill. So I can't be as sure as you that the ruins are hidden in that hill!"
"But I choose to believe in my father. Before he died, he took my hand and told me with certainty that he was confused by Reyes's magic formation and didn't know the exact location of the ruins. But he buried the Blood Condensation Bead condensed with his blood around the ruins, so he definitely wouldn't lie to me!"
"In short, I'm not going back to the Green Leaf Slope. I'll check the hill carefully. Now the choice is in your hands, Connor. You can either say goodbye to me, or come with me to see the hill!" Firo said firmly in a deep voice.
Sensing Firo's attitude, Connor glanced at him and gradually made a decision in his heart. He then turned around and walked in the direction of the Green Leaf Slope, saying faintly, "Since Firo is so sure, you can check the hill carefully. I'll go to the Green Leaf Slope alone. If the ruins we're looking for don't exist there, I'll come back to find you!"
Hearing Connor's words and looking at Connor's back, Firo's expression was slightly surprised. It seemed that he didn't expect Connor to do this. After staying in the same place for a few seconds and seeing that Connor had no intention of coming back, he no longer hesitated and flew straight to the hill where he suspected the ruins were hidden.
What Firo didn't expect was that Connor, who said he was going to the Green Leaf Slope, had a strange smile on his face after noticing his movements. After walking around, Connor didn't go to the Green Leaf Slope as he said. Instead, he secretly hid in a dense bush and took out an alchemy telescope to quietly observe Firo's movements.
Connor wasn't sure if Firo's words were true or false, and Firo's attitude seemed to be very firm. As long as Connor didn't agree, they would completely split and the two would inevitably have a big battle!
Although Connor wasn't afraid of Firo fighting with him, in order to figure out what Firo was up to, Connor took a small step back. He also played a few tricks with Firo to make Firo mistakenly think that he had left and that he was now alone.
Under such circumstances, if Firo still went to the hill to search, it meant that Firo wasn't lying and that the ruins could really be in the hill. In that case, Connor could still continue to cooperate with him.
If Firo didn't go to the hill and left, or did something else, it meant that Firo had ulterior motives. After figuring out his trump card, Connor naturally wouldn't let him stay.
Although the distance between the bushes where Connor was and Firo who had climbed to the nameless hill was more than a kilometer, Connor could still clearly observe all of Firo's movements with the help of the alchemy binoculars.
Under Connor's observation, Firo, who was alone, started rummaging around the hill, as if he was looking for something. Seeing Firo's behavior, Connor, who didn't believe Firo's story, had a strange look in his eyes.
After hesitating for a while, Connor didn't come to a conclusion easily. Instead, he picked up the alchemy binoculars and continued to monitor Firo from afar.
Time passed by slowly. Under Connor's secret surveillance, Firo turned the small, nameless hill upside down step by step. It seemed that he was going to dig three feet into the ground to dig out the ruins from the hill.
Seeing Firo working so hard alone, Connor began to slowly change his mind. He felt that Firo didn't seem to be lying to him about this matter.
Realizing this, Connor, who was holding the alchemy binoculars, shifted the binoculars from Firo's body to the surroundings of the nameless hill. Firo's words reminded Connor of something.
His mentor, Professor Reyes of the Secret Society, was an alchemist, and a very powerful one at that. If what Firo said was true, and this ruin in the Navas Forest was related to the secret of Reyes's rise, and was very important to Reyes, then it was almost a hundred percent certain that Reyes would use a magic circle to protect this ruin.
According to the theory of magic circles, no matter how well a magic circle was disguised, as long as it was set up, there would definitely be traces left behind. As for whether or not the magic circle could be found, it would depend on the Magus' skill level.
Although Connor had used his Mind Power to inspect the five small hills and discovered that there was a family of fifteen Earth Flame Rats hiding in the hills, the inspection time was too short. It was only one minute, so he wasn't able to inspect the details carefully enough.
This time, with the help of the alchemy binoculars, Connor observed the nameless hill from afar. Every detail, every node that could be set up, Connor looked up and down for a long time. After confirming that there were no problems, he moved on to the next target.
Half an hour later, Connor, who had finished his second inspection of the nameless hill, put down the alchemy binoculars in his hands. At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was very grave. From his expression, Connor seemed to have discovered something, but in fact, the results of the second inspection were exactly the same as the first one. There were no suspicious signs on this nameless hill!
