"So, you're here …"
Under the perception of the silver pendant, Connor successfully locked onto a large tree with lush foliage about three hundred meters to his right.
From the corner of his eye, Connor secretly looked at the tree that seemed to have no place for anyone to hide. He sneered in his heart. If he guessed correctly, it was just a camouflage. That mysterious Mr. Paredes could very well be hiding there.
Now, Connor could basically confirm that although Mr. Paredes's methods were very magical, his strength shouldn't be strong. Otherwise, Paredes wouldn't be hiding on a tree three hundred meters away from him. Such a distance could be said to be a relatively safe distance for a Sorcerer-Apprentice. At this distance, no matter if Paredes attacked him or Connor attacked him, both of them would have sufficient time to react.
There were always pros and cons. Hiding three hundred meters away, it was indeed safe. Once Connor discovered him, he could immediately run away. However, such a long distance would inevitably have an adverse effect on his spying. Besides, as long as Connor wanted to shake him off, it wouldn't be very difficult to do so.
This Mr. Paredes took the initiative to spy on him from such a distance, which clearly showed that he wasn't confident in his strength. In addition to the honorifics in the letter, Connor had reason to believe that this guy who called himself "Paredes" might not even be an advanced Sorcerer-Apprentice!
Thinking of this, Connor suddenly remembered something. Varga had told him before that Old Victor had two assistants in Loen. One of them was Martina, whom he was very familiar with. According to Varga, the other person's identity was very mysterious, but he seemed to only have the cultivation of an intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentice. Could this person be Paredes?
As this thought surfaced in his mind, Connor's eyes gradually lit up. He pondered seriously for a while. The possibility of Paredes being Old Victor's other assistant apart from Martina was really not low. Firstly, from the content of the letter that Paredes gave him, where he asked Connor to pay attention to the letter that Old Victor left for him in his apartment's mailbox, he could tell that Paredes was definitely related to the secret society!
Secondly, everything that Paredes revealed gave Connor the feeling that Paredes knew that he couldn't defeat him, so he hid at a very safe distance. This matched what Varga said about the other assistant, who had the strength of an intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentice. In addition, when Varga told Connor about Old Victor's two assistants, Connor had been curious about why Old Victor would find an intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentice to be his assistant with his strength.
However, if this intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentice was Paredes, then Connor could understand very well. Paredes's method of spying with the power of the will was very strange. Even a Spirit Sorcerer like him, who specialized in the power of the will, couldn't detect anything. If it wasn't for Connor's silver pendant, which coincidentally had a new function, Connor might not have been able to detect Paredes until now.
A trace of bone-chilling coldness appeared in Connor's eyes. He decided to make a move on Paredes. Even if he couldn't kill Paredes today, he would at least make Paredes lie in bed for a few months. Otherwise, no matter where Connor went, this guy would follow him. If that happened, then Connor wouldn't be able to do anything!
After deciding to make a move, Connor first had to face the problem of the 300 meter distance between the two of them. Connor was best at the Castilla Array, the Spirit Shock, or his innate spell, the Abyss Chain. It was impossible for him to quickly attack the tree where Paredes was hiding at this distance. If he couldn't attack quickly, Paredes would definitely run away when he realized that he had been exposed.
Connor's eyes flickered twice, and a plan came to his mind. Without any hesitation, he took out three white pills from his space ring. His fingers hidden in his black robe shook lightly, and the white pills smashed onto the ground. Then, there was a "teng" sound, and white smoke immediately rose from the ground. This white smoke was very dense, and nothing could be seen with the naked eye.
"What's going on? Where did the white smoke come from? "
Paredes, who was hiding in the tree, looked at the thick white smoke 300 meters away. He immediately frowned, and a trace of deep doubt appeared in his eyes. At this time, Paredes was skinny, beardless, and with a pair of triangular eyes, he left a very deep impression on others. No matter how one compared him to the average-sized, ordinary-looking person who sat beside Connor in the Tottenham Hotel, they looked like two completely different people. Fortunately, Connor didn't search for Paredes based on his appearance, or else he might not be able to find him in his lifetime!
Connor's guess was right. Paredes was old Victor's intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentice assistant. Because he had mastered the innate spell that belonged to his clan, he had always been successful in spying on the enemy. He was old Victor's assistant! Just as Connor had guessed, as an intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentice, Paredes knew that he couldn't defeat Connor, who was one level higher than him. Therefore, he spied on Connor from a distance where he could escape at any time. Although the distance of 300 meters made him very safe, he couldn't see clearly how the white smoke suddenly appeared. Paredes only saw that once the white smoke appeared, it expanded and spread in the span of a few breaths, covering his target, Connor.
Moreover, this white smoke seemed to have a strong interference effect on a Sorcerer's spiritual force. Paredes felt that he could no longer spy on Connor's situation. This discovery immediately made Paredes somewhat surprised and hesitant. Old Victor's mission was to keep an eye on Connor, but now, no matter how the white smoke appeared, it was obvious that he had lost track of Connor.
Paredes fiercely clenched his teeth and made a decision. He jumped down from the tree he was hiding in and immediately dashed into the distance. The mission that old Victor gave him had now failed. He now had to consider his own safety. He had heard from Martina about Connor's strength, but he didn't have the confidence to fight with Connor.
Paredes' movements weren't slow, but Connor's movements were obviously faster. Just as Paredes started running, Connor's spiritual force attack had already hit him.
