According to Firo's description, Firo's father was a very greedy person. Because of the power of the Blood Moon Codex, he joined forces with Reyes to kill the heir of the Blood Moon Codex and snatch the Blood Moon Codex away from him.
How could such a greedy person not be tempted when he realized that Reyes's success might be due to the fact that he found an ancient ruin and obtained the inheritance of the Byzantine Wizards? How could he not be interested in the ancient ruin?
Also, according to Firo's description, his father was at a critical juncture when he was practicing the Blood Moon Codex. Because he owed Reyes a favor, he had no choice but to go to the ancient ruin with Reyes. Although he didn't know the truth, his rationality told Connor that things weren't as simple as what Firo told him.
While Connor was having doubts, Firo didn't notice the change in Connor's mind. He continued to talk endlessly, "Other than guessing that Reyes's success was due to the inheritance of the Byzantine Wizards, my father also guessed that Reyes didn't obtain all the inheritance in the ancient ruin at once."
"The reason my father came up with such a conjecture is that during his long period of cooperation with Reyes, Reyes would often disappear for one to three months every few years before returning. During this period of time, no one knew what Reyes had gone to do. The only thing that was certain was that Reyes's strength had increased significantly after his disappearance compared to the Reyes before his disappearance!"
"Connor, I've investigated you. Through my investigation, I can confirm that when you first started practicing, the meditation technique you practiced was the Abyss Secret Technique. According to my father, when Reyes was an Apprentice Wizard, he didn't practice the Abyss Secret Technique. Instead, he practiced a Spirit Meditation Technique. Although it wasn't bad, it was far inferior to the Abyss Secret Technique."
"Reyes disappeared for an entire year when his cultivation reached the peak of an advanced Apprentice Magus. This period of time was much longer than the rest of his disappearances. When he returned to the public eye, he had already become a rank 1 Magus. Furthermore, he had switched to the Abyss Secret Technique, a powerful high-grade meditation technique!"
After quietly listening to Firo's words, Connor saw that Firo had finally stopped talking. He immediately looked at Firo and said very calmly, "Mister Firo, I think you may have misunderstood something. I don't care how my mentor got hold of the Abyss Secret Technique. I only need to know that this high-grade meditation technique is very powerful and can satisfy my needs for strength. I don't really care about the rest!"
Hearing Connor's words, Firo, who had originally been somewhat excited, suddenly became somewhat disappointed. He did not give up and continued to say to Connor, "Connor, I know you are a smart person. You must have felt Reyes's malice towards you, right? You should be clear that Reyes didn't impart the Abyss Secret Technique to you out of the goodness of his heart. He didn't want you to inherit his legacy, right? "
"Mister Firo, since you have already realized so much, then can you tell me what my mentor Reyes is plotting against me?" In response to Firo's two consecutive questions, Connor did not have much of a reaction. He calmly asked Firo in return.
"I am sure that Reyes's plotting against you has something to do with those ruins!" In the face of Connor's rhetorical question, Firo was silent for more than ten seconds before answering Connor with certainty.
Hearing Firo's answer, Connor understood that he could no longer get any more information about Reyes from Firo. At least for now, that was the case. Connor did not want to beat around the bush with Firo anymore. He directly asked Firo, "Mister Firo, can you tell me now why you want to see me?"
Hearing Connor's question, Firo's expression suddenly turned solemn. He said to Connor, "I want to join forces with you, Connor, to kill Reyes! My father has been missing for so many years, and most likely died at the hands of Reyes. Killing Reyes will be my revenge. Connor, you won't have to worry about Reyes's plotting against you anymore! "
Before Firo finished speaking, Connor looked at Firo as if he was looking at an idiot. If not for the fact that he still wanted to get the "Bloodmoon Codex" from Firo's hands for Marguerite, Connor was sure that he would immediately turn around and leave without the slightest reluctance!
Who was Reyes?
He was the famous professor of the Secret Society in the Magus World, a rank 2 Magus who stood at the pinnacle of the Magus World's pyramid. For so many years, there had been many people who wanted to kill Reyes, but Reyes was still alive and well, not affected in the slightest!
Even if Connor and Firo joined forces, the two of them together were only two rank 1 Magi with decent strength. Forget about killing Reyes, Connor even doubted that the two of them together could last more than a minute against Reyes!
Feeling Connor's gaze on him as if he was looking at an idiot, Firo's face revealed a mysterious smile. He nodded at Connor, seeming to be very satisfied with Connor's performance. He deliberated over his words before speaking to Connor in a suppressed voice.
"Connor Ferguson, I assure you that I'm not crazy. I'm very clear about the difference in strength between you and Reyes. I can't reveal too much to you now, but as long as you agree to cooperate with me, I'll share everything I've planned with you!"
Seeing that Firo was playing with him, Connor did not directly give Firo an answer. He glanced at Firo and said, "Firo, do you know why I'm looking for you?"
"Connor, you don't care about the life and death of an ordinary person, do you?" Hearing Connor's words, Firo seemed to have thought of something. He raised his eyebrows and asked Connor in surprise.
"He's my second uncle, my father's younger brother, and a core member of the Ferguson Family!" Connor maintained his calm as he spoke.
Connor's words caused Firo and him to fall into silence again. The two of them did not speak for a while and just looked at each other. After a while, Firo broke the silence and said to Connor in a deep voice, "I'm very sorry about what happened to Warren Ferguson. If there's a need, I'm willing to make up for it."
Seeing that Firo was willing to compromise, Connor was delighted, but on the surface, he remained calm and said to Reyes, "I'm very interested in the Blood Moon Codex!"
