Wizard Earl

Furthermore, although Margaret was able to contact Connor through Varga, to be honest, Margaret both trusted and distrusted Varga. The reason for this was that Margaret believed in Varga's feelings for Connor and thought that Varga would not harm Connor. Therefore, when it came to matters concerning Connor's interests, Margaret was willing to trust Varga.

However, Elena's desire to meet with Connor is complicated by the internal struggles within the Church of Storms, and the matter is highly confidential. In Margaret's eyes, Varga is a secret society dark wizard who is completely untrustworthy. Therefore, Margaret insists on personally going to the Navas Forest to meet with Connor.

Having made up her mind, Margaret pondered for a while, then found paper and pen on her desk and began to write furiously. After ten minutes, Margaret stopped writing, looked at her elegant penmanship on the letter, nodded in satisfaction, blew on the still-wet ink, then put on her veil and coat, went out of the room, went to the street, took the letter she had written to the post office, and mailed it.

Although she had decided not to contact Connor through Varga, nor to tell Varga about Elena's intention to see Connor, according to the agreement Connor made before leaving Frosinone, if anything changed after his departure, Margaret would need to discuss it with Varga before making a decision. Therefore, Margaret felt that although it was not necessary to tell Varga the specific details, it was still appropriate to inform her that she was going to the Navas Forest to see Connor.

After handing the letter to the post office, Margaret, with no more worries on her mind, immediately headed towards the Navas Forest outside Frosinone City. Presumably, Christant's side had already begun their operation, and the sooner she arrived at the Navas Forest, the less danger Connor would face.

Unaware that he had become embroiled in the unexpected calamity of the Storm Church's internal power struggle, Connor was currently searching and advancing through the Navas Forest with Philo, according to his plan.

Walking through a pine forest, Philo, who was to Connor's left, suddenly leaped onto a huge pine tree, ten meters tall and of unknown age, without any warning, and looked out into the distance.

Sensing Firo's movement, Connor immediately looked at him, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion. He didn't know what Firo was doing. Just as Connor was organizing his thoughts, preparing to ask Firo, Firo, standing on the pine tree, spoke up to Connor, explaining, "I have a feeling that the place we're looking for is just ahead!"

When Firo said this, his expression remained calm and his tone was very flat, without any emotional fluctuation, as if he were telling Connor that they would have bread for dinner. However, when Connor heard this, he frowned slightly and looked at Firo with some surprise.

After ambushing and killing Milick, Connor and Firo experienced a crisis of trust. Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Firo realized that he was no match for Connor, so he swallowed his anger and did not turn against Connor. However, their relationship became tense, and it seemed that as long as a small spark was ignited, it would be enough to make them fight.

In this sensitive atmosphere, Connor and Firo spent four days examining two suspected sites of remains in the Navas Forest. While they didn't leave empty-handed, they found no clues related to the remains.

As for Connor and Philo, they are currently traveling 300 miles to a location called Green Leaf Slope deep within the Navas Forest. This is the third and final location Connor and Philo believe might contain the remains in the Navas Forest. If they fail to find the remains at Green Leaf Slope, then all of Connor and Philo's plans regarding the remains will officially fail.

Therefore, the atmosphere between Connor and Philo was quite tense during their journey to Green Leaf Slope. Both of them understood that if they couldn't find the remnant related to Reyes in Green Leaf Slope, the two of them would share a common interest. Green Leaf Slope would then become the small spark that ignited the considerable conflict between Connor and Philo, turning the two who were originally cooperating into a cruel battle where only one could survive.

With this partnership on the verge of collapse, Philo suddenly tells Connor that the place they're looking for is just ahead. Even someone in Connor's shoes would inevitably suspect Philo of having some kind of scheme...

Perched atop the pine tree, Philo saw Connor's furrowed brow and silence. Seemingly sensing Connor's thoughts, she flew down from the tree, shook her head slightly, and said quite frankly, "I know you find it hard to believe me, Connor, but I really have a feeling about it!"

"Do you remember what I told you after our first meeting? About how my father was invited by Reyes to that mysterious ruin related to his rise to power?"

"I think you've realized it too, Connor. I lied to you about this. Given your mentor Reyes's character and abilities, why would he invite other people, especially to that site that holds his secrets?" Firo said in a deep voice, looking at Connor in front of him. His expression showed no concern for the deception he had made to Connor in his words and actions.

Connor, who had never believed Philo's nonsense from the beginning, was not surprised at all when he heard Philo's words. He looked at Philo, who was so close to him, with a scrutinizing gaze, knowing that Philo would continue.

As expected, Connor wasn't disappointed. Seeing that Connor didn't intend to speak, Philo continued, "Connor, although I lied to you about this matter, I didn't lie to you at all about my father's relationship with Reyes, or about the existence of the ruins!"

"Although it may be somewhat embarrassing, I must admit that my father was a very greedy man. Although Reyes snatched this advanced meditation technique back from the blood sorcery heir, he was never satisfied and was always ambitious, wanting to gain even greater benefits..." Philo recalled the past with some melancholy.
