As for Connor's "exorbitant demand" for his meditation technique, Firo was instantly enraged. An ominous glint appeared in his eyes, and he said expressionlessly, "Connor, do you think that's possible?"
"In this world, as long as there are enough benefits, nothing is impossible to negotiate!" Connor ignored Firo's anger and said indifferently.
Connor wasn't surprised by Firo's reaction. In fact, if Firo had asked for the "Abyss Secret Technique", Connor's reaction might have been even more intense than his.
Sensing the deeper meaning in Connor's words, Firo's eyes still had an ominous glint, but it was obvious that his emotions had stabilized. He looked deeply at Connor and said coldly, "Connor Ferguson, don't think that I'm begging you to cooperate. To Reyes, you're just a fat pig that he's rearing. You're already an official Magus, so you're fat enough for him to kill and eat. Connor Ferguson doesn't have much time left for you, and cooperating with me is your only chance!"
Firo's words were so unpleasant, but Connor wasn't angry. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his face, and he said calmly, "Firo, you're right about the first half of the sentence. Reyes indeed doesn't have much time left, but cooperating with you isn't my only choice. Reyes is my teacher, and most of my abilities come from him. I know better than anyone how powerful he is. You don't really think that I, Connor Ferguson, am unprepared in the face of his threat, do you?"
Seeing Connor's confident look, Firo, who had investigated Connor, naturally understood what Connor meant. After a few seconds of silence, Firo warned, "The Duke's faction is only using you! Connor, they don't really want to help you! "
As soon as Firo finished speaking, a smile appeared on Connor's angular face again. He said sarcastically to Firo, "Firo, are you trying to tell me that you really want to help me?"
Feeling the sarcasm in Connor's words, Philo, who originally wanted to admit that he really wanted to help Connor, didn't have that much face in the end. He didn't ask whether he really wanted to help Connor or not.
After mocking Firo, Connor also withdrew the smile on his face. He looked at Firo and said very seriously, "Firo, today is the first time we've met. To be honest, I don't trust you, and I believe that you don't trust me either. If you really want to cooperate with me, why don't you show me your sincerity?"
After listening to Connor's black mysteries, Firo immediately sank into deep thought. After a long while, he seemed to have made a decision and said to Connor, "Connor, you practice the" Abyss Secret Method ". The power of this meditation method is not below the" Blood Moon Codex "at all. In fact, it is slightly above it!
"And most importantly, Connor Ferguson, you have the innate talent of the spirit element. The" Abyss Secret Method "can be said to be the most suitable meditation method for you. You can't switch to the" Blood Moon Codex ". If that's the case, why do you want to obtain the" Blood Moon Codex "from me?"
Seeing that Firo had poked at the crux of the matter, Connor wasn't surprised. After all, Firo had investigated him, and all the information was on the table. As long as Firo wasn't stupid, he should be able to analyze that as a spirit element Magus, he didn't need a high-grade blood element meditation method!
"I can't tell you the purpose. The only thing I can say is that I don't have any ill intentions towards you!" Connor shook his head slightly and said to Firo.
As a priestess of the Church of the Storm, Marguerite's identity was usually a very useful protective amulet. However, once the Church of the Storm knew that Marguerite practiced a forbidden technique like blood magic, then this protective amulet of a priestess would instantly become a death sentence for Marguerite. Hence, no matter what, Connor had to ensure that Marguerite's identity was kept a secret. Once Firo was aware of Marguerite's existence, then the only option before Connor was to silence Firo!
Although Connor chose to keep it a secret, Firo seemed to have guessed the reason why Connor wanted the "Blood Moon Codex". After muttering to himself for a while, he suggested to Connor, "Since you mentioned sincerity, then fine. I'll give you face, Connor Ferguson. Connor, I'll tell you my plan to deal with Reyes. You only need to answer one question of mine, Connor. How about it?"
With regards to Firo's suggestion, Connor fell into deep thought. Although he was very interested in Firo's plan to deal with Reyes, he was certain that Firo's question was related to why he needed the "Blood Moon Codex". However, this was not a question that Connor wanted to answer.
Seeing that Connor had fallen into deep thought, Firo couldn't help but add fuel to the fire. He said firmly, "Connor, if you are not willing to answer my question, then I cannot give you the" Blood Moon Codex ". However, if your request is what I think it is, then we may have other ways to resolve this matter!"
Firo's words were the last straw that broke the camel's back in Connor's heart. It also gave rise to a glimmer of hope in Connor's heart. Although Marguerite had said that the "Blood Moon Codex" was the only way to resolve her current condition, this was after all her personal opinion. As a Magus who practiced the "Blood Moon Codex", Firo might have other ways to resolve all of this!
After pondering for a while, Connor nodded towards Firo, indicating that he had agreed to his suggestion. Seeing this, Firo's expression turned serious. He pulled up a soundproof barrier, trapping both him and Connor within. He then lowered his voice and said to Reyes, "I have reliable information that tells me that Reyes has an irreconcilable conflict of interest with a rank 3 Magus. This rank 3 Magus is very decisive in his actions, and it is very likely that he will launch a thunderous attack on Reyes in the near future!"
"Twenty years ago, when Reyes had just become a rank 2 Magus, a rank 3 Magus had made a move against Reyes. Unfortunately, Reyes was lucky enough to escape, and only suffered serious injuries. After disappearing for a period of time, he made a comeback. Hence, even if the rank 3 Magus who made a move against Reyes this time is stronger than the previous one, I still think that Reyes will survive!"
"What I can be sure of is that even if Reyes survives this time, he will definitely be seriously injured and will have to lay low for a period of time to recuperate. Connor, as Reyes's student, where do you think Reyes will go to recuperate during this period of time?" At this point, Firo looked at Connor with a burning gaze.
