Wizard Earl

Although Connor and Margaret moved quickly, covering hundreds of miles in less than two days and returning to Frosinone from the depths of the Navas Forest, the fact that checkpoints were set up upon their entry into the city and that the Eye of the Storm was secretly monitoring them still surprised them greatly. However, this also made them clearly aware of the tense atmosphere in Frosinone and the imminent situation.

After Connor drove the carriage and turned into the hidden intersection ahead, Margaret, inside the carriage, said to Connor, "Connor, there's no time to lose. I'll contact Elena now and arrange for you two to meet. Wait for me at the agreed place!"

"Okay! Margaret, you need to be careful too!" Connor looked around and, seeing that no one was around, agreed with Margaret and gave her some instructions:

At Connor's admonition, Margaret vanished from the carriage in a flash.

After saying goodbye to Margaret, Connor did not hesitate. He destroyed the carriage in a secluded park and then quietly returned to Ferguson Mansion.

"Miss Varga, when will Master Connor return?" In the study of the mansion, Arbeloa, whom Connor had subdued, asked the girl wearing a black veil before her with some anxiety.

Upon hearing Arbeloa's question, Varga seemed to realize something, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she softly said, "Are those family elders causing trouble again?"

"well········"

Arbeloa sighed slightly, then spread his hands and said helplessly, "Ever since Young Master Connor decided to implement those measures to reduce the power of those family elders, at first these old guys didn't realize the harm these measures would cause them, which was good. But ever since they felt that Young Master Connor's measures were hurting their interests, they have never stopped making trouble."

"If it were still young master Connor in the family, things would be a bit better, but now that they know he's not here, they're all acting like they're entitled to their seniority, causing trouble and making a scene. I don't have any good solutions. If young master Connor doesn't return soon, I think they'll start discussing holding a family elders' meeting to elect a new Earl Ferguson!" Arbeloa said in a low voice.

"Hmph! They wouldn't dare!"

Varga snorted coldly, a murderous glint flashing in her beautiful eyes, and said with icy demeanor:

For an apothecary, especially an excellent one like Varga, most of their research focuses on making potions, but they are also naturally adept at making poisons. Killing someone silently is not a difficult task. If it weren't for the concern that too many members of the Ferguson family might die at once and attract the attention of the traditional noble groups and the two major churches, Varga would have already poisoned these so-called family elders, who were actually just occupying positions without doing any work, and sent them on their way.

Even so, after discussing with Connor, Varga also administered a slow-acting poison to many of the Ferguson family elders. Now, if Varga so desires, she can easily empty two-thirds of the Ferguson family's once full council of elders without leaving a trace.

Although Abeloa was unaware that Varga had given the family elders a slow-acting poison, he was well aware that Varga, the future Countess of the Ferguson family, was a powerful and officially recognized wizard.

So, sensing the murderous intent in Varga's voice, Arbeloa immediately panicked. He was truly afraid of Varga; if she got carried away with her emotions and massacred the Ferguson family elders, that would be a huge problem. So, he immediately began to say, "Miss Varga, I think these old guys, although they have that intention, will have no chance as long as young master Connor shows up. You mustn't..."

Although Arbeloa phrased it delicately, Varga still understood what he meant. Seeing how Arbeloa thought of her as so reckless and brainless, Varga couldn't help but give him a cold look.

Although Arbeloa possessed the cultivation of an intermediate wizard apprentice, he still felt a chill run through his body under Varga's gaze. He shivered and trembled, unable to utter a single word. Realizing he had spoken out of turn, he quickly lowered his head.

"Arbeloa, just focus on what you're supposed to do. Other things are none of your concern!" Varga said calmly, her voice devoid of any emotion.

"Yes! Miss Varga, I was wrong!" Arbeloa, head bowed deeply, quickly admitted.

Seeing that Arbeloa's attitude was fairly sincere and that it was his first offense, Varga only warned him and did not pursue the matter further. Then she waved her hand, and Arbeloa immediately felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He respectfully bowed to Varga and then quickly slunk away from the study.

After Arbeloa left, Varga pondered for a while, then took out a ring from her spatial ring. It was exquisitely designed and inlaid with a black gemstone. She held it in her hand and stroked it. As if she had thought of something, a look of sorrow appeared on her fair face, which was as white as mutton fat jade. She sighed softly.

"My first wife, are you missing me?"

Just then, Varga heard a familiar voice. As soon as the voice appeared, Varga's expression showed a hint of surprise. Before she could react to what was happening, a figure wearing a familiar black robe appeared in her field of vision.

"Connor, you bastard!"

Seeing that Connor, whom she had been longing for, had finally returned, Varga could not control her emotions and ran into Connor's arms.

Holding Varga tightly in his arms, Connor smiled. They remained embraced in silence, savoring each other's presence for a while. After a few minutes, Varga gradually recovered from her joy. Knowing Connor's body intimately, she immediately realized something. She glanced at Connor, then grasped his right hand, interlocking it with her left, and channeled the energy within her body into Connor's…

Connor did not stop Varga's actions, but he was slightly surprised. Although he knew before he returned that he could not hide his physical condition from Varga, he was still surprised that Varga discovered it so quickly. It seems that Varga's cultivation and strength have improved a lot since he last saw her!
