After a brief exchange of blows, Old Victor and Connor both fell into silence. Neither of them had the intention to attack again. This strange state lasted for about 5 minutes. Old Victor took out a piece of paper from his space ring and threw it to Connor. "Transmission paper, the professor will contact you in the near future!" Old Victor then turned around and walked out of the apartment.
Connor, who was holding the transmission paper in his hand, felt that old Victor had disappeared from the range of his power of the will. Connor's tensed heart finally relaxed. He stood on the spot and let out a murky breath. He had met or killed a lot of advanced sorcerer-apprentices. From Snake Eye, to Lindelof from the Selta Sect, to Scarface from the Secret Order of Benfica not long ago, there were quite a few of them.
Therefore, Connor had no fear when facing an advanced apprentice who was one level higher than him. This was also why Connor had the courage to face Old Victor head on when Old Victor told him to "stop here" and didn't want him to pursue the matter any further.
Although he was confident, Old Victor made Connor understand one thing. Although they were all called advanced apprentices, there was still a huge gap between advanced apprentices. Old Victor was obviously a level higher than Snake Eye, Lindelof, and Scarface that he had faced before.
Connor could clearly feel that Old Victor didn't even use a third of his strength when he struck out those two dark green hand seals. When Old Victor was hit by his power of the will and realized his true strength, Old Victor's ability to break through the most powerful trap set up by himself had completely shocked Connor. Connor was facing the trap set up by himself. Under the situation where he completely understood the trap, Connor didn't dare to guarantee that he could escape unscathed, let alone do it as easily as Old Victor.
Even though Connor didn't suffer any losses when facing Old Victor, and even made Old Victor suffer a little from his mental attack, Connor was very clear that this small advantage wasn't a reflection of his true strength. It was completely due to Old Victor's carelessness at the beginning. Most importantly, Old Victor didn't attack to fight with him, but purely to teach him a lesson and make him suffer!
This was also the reason why Connor dared to face Old Victor head on. He, Connor Ferguson, was Professor's student. Therefore, no matter how strong Old Victor was, without Professor's instructions, he would never kill Connor. Don't even mention killing Connor, he might not even hurt Connor! As for why Old Victor chose to take a step back in the end and didn't fight with him, Connor knew that it wasn't because he had the strength to force Old Victor to step back!
It's because I displayed strength that won't be easily defeated by Victor. You, Old Victor, may be able to defeat me, but you won't be able to completely grasp the situation of the battle while defeating me. If Victor were to injure me in order to defeat me, Old Victor wouldn't be able to face his mentor, Reyes!
After putting the voice-transmitting paper into his space-teleportation ring, although Connor didn't know why Reyes was looking for him, he was allowed to obtain more information from his teacher.
'That mysterious organization dispatched two demonized knights to kill me. Logically speaking, as long as I'm still alive, I should avenge them. However, old Victor could be said to represent the secret society. Not only would he not avenge me, but he even asked me to swallow my anger. That's the end of the matter. He only promised that the mysterious organization would not cause me any more trouble. Of course, Connor would not accept such a result.'
Even if Connor had no choice but to accept such a result in the end, he had to fight for it. He couldn't just swallow his anger like a coward. Since ancient times, it had always been "the crying child gets the milk".
Judging from old Victor's words that he should stop here and that the other party would not attack him again, Connor believed that this mysterious organization that experimented with demonized knights didn't know that he was a member of the secret society and wanted to kill him for other reasons.
"I don't think I've made any enemies recently. Who's going to kill me? Could it be … Benfica Secret Order? "Leaning on the sofa in his apartment, Connor thought quickly.
… …
… …
When Connor stayed in his apartment and thought hard about whether Serta Religion, Ferguson Family, or Benfica Secret Order had discovered his real identity and wanted to kill him for the magic stone mine, the voice-transmitting paper that Old Victor left him in his space-teleportation ring started to shine with a bright white light.
Sensing this situation, Connor knew that what was coming was coming. He took a deep breath and took out the voice-transmitting paper from his space-teleportation ring. When the white light on the paper faded away, Connor looked at it attentively. He found the familiar handwriting of his teacher, Reyes, on the paper.
"I heard from Victor that you've improved a lot recently, Connor?"
Looking at Reyes' elegant handwriting on the paper, Connor thought seriously for a while and decided to answer this question honestly. After weighing his words, he wrote on the paper, "Teacher, with the help of the Varga Potion, I've become an intermediate wizard apprentice. I've also completed the Castilla Magic Staff that you asked me to refine!"
"Very good. Congratulations, Connor. Your speed of improvement has exceeded my expectations as your teacher. However, I heard that you seemed to have encountered some trouble recently. You were attacked by an enchanted knight? This is a misunderstanding. The other party didn't know that you're a member of the secret society and my student. As for this misunderstanding, they're willing to compensate you according to the rules of the wizard world. They can also tell you the name of the employer. The secret society has some cooperation with them. I hope that you can consider the big picture, Connor! " Not long after Connor sent the message, he received a reply from his teacher, Reyes!
"As expected!"
After reading Reyes' reply, Connor only had one word left in his mind. Marguerite was right. The secret society had indeed cooperated with that mysterious organization. It seemed that this cooperation was most likely related to the enchanted knights!
