Firo didn't wait for Connor to reply and directly grabbed the metal card in Connor's hand. No matter how patient Connor was, he couldn't help but be enraged. He snorted coldly and attacked Firo with a spiritual storm.
Firo, who was about to take the metal card from Connor, seemed to have planned this from the beginning. He wasn't surprised by Connor's counterattack. Firo's mental power instantly condensed and blocked Connor's mental storm. However, his action of taking the metal card from Connor was also completely destroyed by Connor.
After a quick exchange of blows, Connor and Firo stood facing each other, maintaining a safe distance from each other as they stared at each other coldly.
After a minute of stalemate, Firo finally broke the silence and said to Connor in a slightly irritated tone, "Hurry up and find the relic!"
Firo didn't wait for Connor's reply and directly walked to the side to give Connor a safe space to think.
Seeing Firo's action, Connor didn't feel happy at all. On the contrary, his eyes became more serious.
When he was casting the spell, Firo's chanting speed was very slow. It must be because the spell had strict requirements for chanting. However, Firo probably thought that Connor didn't understand the ancient Byzantine language he was chanting. Therefore, until now, Firo still thought that Connor didn't know that he was using a secret spell and was secretly increasing his strength.
A secret spell like Firo's that could temporarily increase a wizard's strength usually had a time limit. Firo's impatience couldn't be faked, so in Connor's opinion, Firo was eager to find something from the metal card. Otherwise, he would take the risk.
Connor understood this point and had already obtained the calculation result from the auxiliary A.I. Chip. He already knew how to deal with Firo, who was acting recklessly.
Connor deliberately pretended to check the metal card and delayed for another ten seconds. Under the gaze of Firo, a gratified smile appeared on his face.
Seeing the smile on Connor's face, Firo, who was struggling to suppress the impulse to attack Connor, reignited hope in his heart. He asked Connor tentatively, "Have you found the relic?"
Seeing that Firo really did ask the question as he expected, Connor sneered in his heart. He then pretended to hesitate for a while before he nodded with a straight face in response to Firo's question.
"Where is the relic?" At this moment, Figaro wasn't as calm as Connor. Seeing that Connor had found the location of the ruins, he was pleasantly surprised and immediately asked Connor, "What's the matter?"
In the face of Firo's question, Connor pretended to hesitate for a few seconds before he turned his gaze to an inconspicuous swamp about a kilometer away from the small hill.
Following Connor's gaze, Firo immediately noticed the swamp. Although he didn't sense anything from the swamp, he still chose to believe in Connor's judgment. He turned into a bloody shadow and went straight to the swamp.
Looking at Firo who had turned into a bloody shadow, Connor felt threatened. Then, the black mage robe on his body flashed, and he followed Firo to the swamp.
Firo, who had arrived at the swamp before Connor, immediately began to explore. After a few seconds of inspection, he seemed to have discovered something. A hint of excitement appeared in his blood-red eyes. Then, he opened his hands and pressed downwards. Suddenly, the mud in the swamp was shaken out, and the stench of rotting things in the mud permeated the air.
Firo's great fanfare had an extraordinary effect. Soon, Firo found an altar covered in mud under the swamp.
From the architectural style of the altar and the ancient Byzantine runes carved on it, Connor could basically conclude that this was an altar built in the ancient Byzantine era. It was completely in line with Connor and Firo's goal of finding the relic that involved Reyes's secret.
After confirming the existence of this altar, Firo was undoubtedly very happy. However, he did not get carried away. He knew that the next step of dealing with this altar was still up to Connor, who was an alchemist. As a blood energy wizard, he could not do all this. Hence, he once again cast his gaze on Connor.
Under Firo's gaze, Connor, who knew that he was duty-bound, did not refuse. He went straight to the altar and began to inspect it. After a minute, Connor, who had roughly figured out the altar's situation, secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After finishing his research on the metal card, although Connor found that there was something fishy under the swamp and it was the key to discovering the relic, he was still a little surprised when he saw this fishy thing in the form of an altar. But now, it seemed that this altar was just a cover. In fact, in terms of function, this altar was not much different from what Connor had imagined. It would not affect Connor's next plan to deal with Firo.
Without worrying about Connor, he immediately found out that there were only a few enchantment mechanisms on this altar. After a little research, Connor understood how to use this altar. Then, under the gaze of Firo, Connor launched a series of spells at the altar. Under the effect of Connor's spells, this ancient Byzantine altar slowly moved, revealing a secret passage under the altar.
Seeing the appearance of this secret passage, the relic that they had been dreaming about for decades was right in front of them. Firo could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, and his expression became extremely excited. However, after a few seconds of excitement, Firo looked at Connor next to the altar. His eyes gradually became cold and ferocious. Now that the secret passage and the relic had appeared, it was time to settle things with Connor!
Connor, who had been wary of Firo for a long time, was familiar with Firo's plan to burn bridges after crossing the river. He turned around and glanced at Firo with a faint smile. Then, under Firo's cold gaze, he flew into the secret passage with a flash of his black robe. Seeing that Connor had entered the relic before him, Firo didn't want to be left behind. He turned into a blood shadow again and entered the secret passage.
Connor and Firo's entry might have automatically triggered some kind of enchantment on the altar. The altar immediately moved back to its original position and blocked the door of the secret passage.
