A minute ago, Connor discovered that Kalarov was following him. Although the fierce battle at Reynolds' Potion Shop had given him a taste of Mr. Kalarov's powerful strength, Connor never expected that Kalarov, who hadn't even seen him a week ago, would be able to discover him now.
Although he was a little surprised, Connor didn't have any fear or worry in his heart. Although he didn't know how Kalarov discovered him, Connor was still very confident in his own strength. Both of them were advanced Wizard Apprentices, so it was still unknown who would emerge victorious!
Twenty minutes later, deep in the woods in the eastern suburbs of Loen, Connor and Varga were fighting side by side. Opposite them was a middle-aged couple. The man was the plump middle-aged uncle, Kalarov, and the woman was a blonde auntie who had just sneaked behind Varga. Seeing that both sides had discovered each other, the two groups didn't try to hide their existence after leaving the city. They tacitly went straight to the deserted woods.
"I want to reiterate that I have no hostility towards Miss Antonella. I just want her to help me refine Salerin's potion. Once I get the potion, I'll immediately hand over the second half of 'Pandev's Guide to Pharmaceutics'!" Although the atmosphere between the four of them was still tense and a fight could break out at any time, Kalarov was still trying to mediate. He looked at Connor and said solemnly,
With a sneer, Connor met Kalarov's seemingly sincere gaze and said faintly, "Refining potions is fine. There's no problem at all. How about this, Mr. Kalarov, you give the second half of the book and the materials needed to refine the potion to Antonella. How about you come to Loen to get the potion a year later?"
Feeling Connor's attitude, Mr. Kalarov sighed slightly. He looked at Connor with some disappointment and said, "There's no room for discussion?"
Without answering Kalarov's question, Connor revealed a disdainful smile. The next second, Castilla's magic staff appeared in his hand. Then, Connor tapped the magic staff heavily on the ground. Suddenly, hundreds of red, finger-sized ants broke out from the ground and were shaken into the air, exploding one after another.
Seeing that her little trick was seen through by Connor, the blonde woman beside Kalarov, who was controlling the red ants to sneak attack Connor and Varga, suddenly had an ugly expression on her face.
At the same time, Connor hid his hand behind his back and made a gesture to Varga. Varga immediately understood and took three steps back to stand behind Connor. As soon as Varga took action, the blonde woman standing opposite him decisively attacked again. She waved her hand at Connor, and the silver bracelet on her wrist suddenly turned into countless thin needles flickering with cold light and went straight for Connor.
Looking at the incoming silver needles, Connor's eyes had a hint of caution. Just as he was about to release Castilla's barrier to block, Varga, who was standing behind him, stood out. Varga threw more than a dozen red seeds into the air. The seeds quickly sprouted and grew branches in mid-air. In just an instant, they condensed into a rattan shield that protected Connor and Varga.
These silver needles hit the rattan shield and sank into it without making any sound. Then, Varga, who was standing behind Connor, pinched a spell, and the rattan shield immediately spontaneously combusted. The scarlet flames burned fiercely on the rattan shield. At the same time, the blonde woman, who was controlling the silver needles, turned pale. She hurriedly cast a spell to retrieve the silver needles, but the silver needles that were trapped in the scarlet flames of the rattan shield didn't listen to the blonde woman's command and only let out a mournful cry.
Hearing the mournful cries of the silver needles, the blonde woman's expression became even more distressed. But before she could do anything, Kalarov, who was standing beside her and hadn't made a move from the beginning, raised his eyebrows. Then, a golden glove that seemed to be made of gold appeared on his huge left palm. As soon as this glove appeared, fear appeared in Connor's eyes. As an Alchemist, he could clearly feel the powerful energy fluctuations emitted by this glove. There was no doubt that this was a peak 2nd rank magic artifact. Moreover, it was very likely that this Alchemist Kalarov had custom-made it for himself based on his own abilities.
What surprised Connor was that after Kalarov summoned this golden glove, he didn't do as Connor had expected. He didn't try to remove the blonde woman's silver needles. Instead, he directly threw a punch at Connor. A golden fist shadow wrapped in terrifying energy ruthlessly smashed towards Connor like a cannonball. It was very unreasonable!
Although the golden fist shadow was very fast, Connor, who had been on guard, reacted quickly. He patted Castilla's Magic Staff and condensed a barrier around Castilla to block the golden fist shadow. Then, with a thought from Connor, Kalarov released a Spirit Shock.
Connor had already figured out Kalarov's plan. Although it might be too late to stop Kalarov at this time, he at least had to interfere. He couldn't let Kalarov achieve his goal so easily.
As soon as Connor released his Spirit Shock, Kalarov had already launched a second golden fist shadow. This fist shadow directly went towards the spontaneously combusted vine shield controlled by Varga.
"Bang!"
Without any suspense, Valga's rattan shield exploded into pieces on the spot under the terrifying bombardment of the golden fist shadows. As the rattan shield scattered, the silver needles that were dimmed by the burning shield were retrieved by the golden-haired aunty as she wished. After retrieving the silver needles, the golden-haired aunty struck a spell towards the silver needles in her hand. The silver needles once again turned into the original silver bracelet, but compared to the brilliant silver light from before, not only was the light dimmed, but it was also pitch-black from the inside out. Looking at the miserable state of the silver bracelet in her hand, the golden-haired aunty took out a jade box with a pained expression and placed the silver bracelet in the jade box to nourish it.
"Hmph!"
Although he helped his wife get back the silver needles, Kalarov was also a little tricked by Connor. A Spirit Shock hit him. Mr. Kalarov was also a little absent-minded and let out a muffled groan.
