Compensation? Employer?
Connor's lips curled into a sneer. You want me to consider the big picture? Haha, I've already expected this outcome. But if I had chosen to stop here in front of old Victor last time, would I not have mentioned the compensation at all?
As for the word "employer" in Reyes's reply, Connor was extremely surprised. From the meaning of Reyes's words, it seemed that he was wrong from the very beginning. The organization that experimented with magic knights did not have a grudge against Connor as he thought. Instead, it was more like an assassin organization that was hired by someone else to assassinate him! It seemed that the organization that experimented with magic knights was not the Serta Sect or the Benfica Secret Order!
After pondering for a while, Connor wrote on the transmission paper, "Connor will definitely obey the order of the mentor!"
"Wise choice. Their compensation and the information of the employer will be sent to you by mail in a few days. Now that you're already an intermediate wizard apprentice, you can try to accept things from the secret society. In the study of my villa, I've arranged for someone to put some things there. Take them away and follow the instructions of the higher-ups!"
"Yes, sir!" After carefully reading Reyes's reply, Connor wrote two big words on the transmission paper. After Connor finished writing and sent the message, the transmission paper lit up again with white light. However, this time, it turned into ashes after completing its mission.
"I'd like to see who's trying to kill me!" Looking at the ashes of the transmission paper on the floor, Connor's eyes flashed with killing intent. He said in a low and cold voice,
… …
… …
"This is what Reyes wants to give me?" Standing next to Reyes, Connor looked at the rolled parchment paper and the Rubik's Cube on the bookshelf in front of him. He frowned and thought to himself.
After receiving Reyes's order, Connor immediately followed his mentor's instructions and came to Reyes's villa near Green University. In the villa's study that originally belonged to Reyes, it looked normal on the surface. There were only books, bookshelves, desks, and chairs in the study. It seemed that there was nothing that Reyes wanted to give to Connor.
However, Connor, who was in the same vein as Reyes and had read Reyes's lifelong work, "Alchemy of Reyes", immediately realized that everything that seemed normal was actually an illusion created by Reyes.
Shrugging his shoulders, Connor chanted the spell according to the method recorded in "Alchemy of Reyes". With the sound of the spell, the illusion in the study was soon broken. On the bookshelf in the study, the Rubik's Cube and the rolled parchment paper that Connor was looking at now appeared.
Connor looked at the rolled parchment paper and the Rubik's Cube carefully. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with them, he put them into his space-time ring without hesitation. After taking away the rolled parchment paper and the Rubik's Cube, Connor didn't turn around to leave. Instead, he looked around the entire study with confusion. Now that he had broken the illusion, the study looked exactly the same as before except for the rolled parchment paper and the Rubik's Cube on the bookshelf. However, for some reason, Connor felt that there was something wrong with this room.
"It's normal for there to be something wrong with Reyes's study. It's abnormal if there's nothing wrong with it." Connor, who used his mind power to carefully check every corner of the study, still found nothing. He could only shake his head with a wry smile and comfort himself in his heart.
After comforting himself, since he couldn't find Connor, he simply stopped looking for him. He closed the study room and the villa and quickly left the villa. However, what Connor never expected was that after he left, a strange light flashed on the bookshelf in the study room. At the same time, in a secluded cafe on the commercial street of Green University not far from the villa, a middle-aged blonde woman with gold-rimmed glasses and an intellectual charm took a sip of coffee that exuded a strong aroma. Then, she wrote with interest on a piece of paper of her own:
"Senior, your student already got it. He's indeed your student. He's very sensitive. If he was a senior wizard apprentice, maybe he'd be able to find out what I'm doing right now …"
… …

After leaving Reyes's villa, Connor took a public carriage all the way back to his apartment on Lander Street. However, before Connor walked back to his apartment, Connor found that on the side of Lander Street, among the neat rows of pine trees, there was a little girl hiding there and watching him attentively.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Connor pretended to look for the key, and then focused his mind power on the little girl who was secretly spying on him. The little girl was just an ordinary person, about 13 or 14 years old. She had a head of bright blonde hair and a very beautiful appearance.
Although she was wearing a cheap linen skirt, underneath the skirt was a precious silk lining. Obviously, the little girl's identity was somewhat unusual. Not only that, the little girl seemed to be very excited when she saw him coming back. At first glance, it was obvious that she came specially for him. However, from the way she hid in the row of pine trees on the side of the street, it seemed to be the little girl's first time spying on him. Her traces were very obvious.
A touch of doubt flashed through his eyes, but Connor didn't say anything about being spied on. His expression was very calm. As usual, he took out the key and walked into his apartment.
After walking into the apartment, Connor still didn't know what the little girl wanted to do, but he still focused his mind power on the little girl and observed her every move. Although he didn't know what the little girl wanted to do, his intuition told him that the little girl wouldn't harm him. After all, no matter who sent the little girl to spy on him, they wouldn't send such a little girl who could be discovered by him without using his mind power.
After observing for a while, Connor showed a wry smile. After he returned to his apartment, the little girl who was hiding in the pine forest actually … quietly walked to his apartment. However, it seemed that she didn't want to go through the front door. Instead, she wanted to climb over the wall in the backyard of his apartment.
