Pedro, the middle-aged man with a square face, had just swallowed a large piece of steak when he heard Abrache's words. He stared at Abrache deeply, then wiped the sauce off the corner of his mouth expressionlessly. He then said to Abrache in a deep voice, "For the sake of this meal, Abrache, I'll give you a piece of advice. There are some things that you should know, but don't ask too much about them. In this world, it's not good to know too much."
Pedro's cold voice immediately froze the smile on Abrache's face. Two seconds later, Abrache smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Pedro, you're thinking too much. How can I, Abrache, not know what kind of status I have? I'm just fighting for justice on your behalf."
Abrache then continued, "Mr. Pedro, you've finished your meal today, and it's getting late. I won't disturb you anymore. Tomorrow, let's …"
Before Abrache could finish his words, he shuddered and fainted on the ground without any struggle. Seeing Abrache faint on the ground, Pedro was startled at first, but he quickly reacted and took out an ice-blue staff from his spatial ring.
As soon as Pedro took out the ice blue magic staff, he heard a deep voice in the factory.
"You should know that it doesn't matter whether you have this magic staff or not."
Pedro's expression changed slightly when he heard the voice, but he was still calm. He looked around the factory and laughed, "An official wizard has come in person. I didn't expect that I, Pedro, would be so respected."
"Where are you going? I'll let you go!" Although Connor could vaguely sense that Pedro, an advanced wizard apprentice from the Church of the Storm, wasn't afraid of death, he still made one last effort. After all, that magic formation was still giving him a headache.
After discovering Abrache and Pedro in the factory, Connor used his power of the Will to discover that the area under Pedro's feet was a small cellar. There were many crystal boxes hidden inside.
After discovering this, Connor combined it with what Marguerite had told him. Every magic herb from the Church of the Storm was stored in a crystal box. He immediately realized that he had found the location of this batch of magic herbs.
In his excitement, Connor decided to get rid of Abrache and Pedro. They were worthless now, so it was time to get rid of them. However, as an alchemist, before he made his move, Connor unexpectedly discovered that there was a hidden magic formation set up in the 100 square meter area around Pedro.
This magic formation wasn't an ordinary one. It was a self-destructing magic formation, and the core of this magic formation was Pedro himself. In this magic formation, any attack on Pedro's body would trigger the self-destructing magic formation under his feet. The consequences of that were self-evident. All of the magic herbs would be destroyed.
No matter how hard Connor thought about it, he couldn't find a good way to break the self-destructing magic circle under Pedro's feet. Therefore, he could only show himself and try to negotiate with Pedro with the greatest hope. Killing Pedro was easy. Connor could do it with just a thought. However, Pedro's death had no meaning to Connor, nor would it benefit him in any way. What Connor wanted was the precious magic potions in the cellar. He had no interest in killing an advanced Apprentice Wizard like Pedro.
Pedro didn't respond to Connor's conditions, but the mockery in his eyes was obvious. He held his magic staff in one hand and a wine bottle in the other. He drank all the red wine in the bottle in one gulp.
Connor nodded slightly at Pedro's behavior. He walked out of the darkness and stood in front of Pedro. He sized him up and said with certainty, "You've got guts!"
Pedro wanted to mock Connor, but when he opened his mouth, he was horrified to find that he couldn't say a word. At this moment, Connor reached out his right hand and tapped lightly. Pedro didn't know what Connor was going to do. Suddenly, a huge black bubble rose from under his feet and enveloped him.
Pedro was completely dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events. He didn't know how this huge black bubble formed, and he didn't know why the self-explosion circle under his feet hadn't been triggered even though the dark Sorcerer had already attacked him.
While Pedro was still in a daze, he felt the black bubble strangely float up and drag him into the air. This immediately woke Pedro up from his daze. He began to manipulate the magic staff in his hand to attack the black bubble that trapped him. Unfortunately, Connor was an official Sorcerer, and he had set up a barrier for him. How could an advanced Apprentice Sorcerer like him break through it?
No matter how many ice spells Pedro cast, such as ice blades and icicles, he attacked the black bubble, but it didn't budge at all. It didn't seem to be affected at all.
Connor Ferguson, the initiator of all this, looked at the black bubble that was about two meters above the ground. There was a faint smile on his face.
As an alchemist, Connor didn't have any good methods to deal with self-explosion circles, but that didn't mean that Connor didn't have any methods to deal with them!
Connor knew very well that a Sorcerer from the Church of the Storm who could become the core of a self-explosion circle was most likely a diehard believer of the Church of the Storm. He had a very devout belief in the Goddess of the Storm. In the face of his negotiation, such a person would most likely not care about it and would choose to reject it.
The reason why Connor had tried to negotiate with Pedro despite knowing the outcome was because he didn't want to take any risks. He wanted to obtain this batch of magic potions as safely as possible, but more importantly, he wanted to use this as an excuse to draw Pedro's attention to the negotiation. Then, he could use this opportunity to secretly set up a trap under his feet.
Judging from the result of Pedro being trapped in the black bubble made of dark energy, Connor's plan was obviously very successful. Pedro, a devout believer of the Goddess of the Storm, had fallen to Connor's two-pronged attack without any struggle!
