Wizard Earl

"Got it!" Connor said with a smile, stroking Varga's pert nose.

At this point, he seemed to remember something, paused for a moment, and then solemnly said to Varga, "Varga, you know about the Ferguson family's secret passage. I will contact you through a communication artifact. Once you receive my signal, Varga, take those Hope Stars and leave through the secret passage, escaping Frosinone according to our plan!"

"I know what to do, Connor. You must take good care of yourself. If things really become unavoidable, leave quickly. We can go to East Hoy together and shake off Reyes!" Varga said with concern.

Hearing Varga's beautiful vision, Connor didn't shatter her dream, smiling and saying, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I certainly won't risk my life!"

After saying this, Connor patted Varga's hand, then bid her farewell and left Ferguson Mansion again, with Varga watching him go.

After leaving Ferguson Mansion, Connor went straight to a small cabin in the center of Paquet Park on the outskirts of Frosinone. This was the place where he and Margaret used to meet in Frosinone, and it was also the place where he and Margaret had arranged to meet Elena.

Connor is a dark wizard, while Elena is a cardinal in the Church of Storms, second only to the Pope. Although they decide to meet because of their shared goal of defeating Reyes, it's clear that meeting with a dark wizard like Connor in private carries considerable risk for Elena. If discovered and exposed, she would be unable to explain herself. Connor, too, has his own concerns; he fears this meeting might be a trap set by Elena to lure him in and then assassinate him…

Therefore, this cabin in the center of Paquet Park on the outskirts of the city is the best place to meet. Firstly, its location in the suburbs perfectly avoids all the spies and eye-of-the-storm devices that the Church of Storms has placed in Frosinone, greatly reducing the risk for Elena to meet with Connor.

Secondly, this place is well-connected and perfect for escaping. Connor is also familiar with this place, so if there is any danger, Connor can run away as soon as he sees the situation is not good, instead of being surrounded and killed.

Sitting in the cabin, Connor patiently closed his eyes. If everything went as Margaret had said, it wouldn't be long before he met Elena, the youngest second-level wizard and cardinal in the history of the Storm Church, in this cabin!

After waiting in the cabin for about three hours, Connor, who had been sitting cross-legged in the cabin meditating and cultivating, finally opened his eyes as if he had discovered something. He looked towards the northeast, where Margaret was flying towards them.

However, what's strange is that, according to Connor and her plan, Margaret should have come with Elena at this time, but now, according to Connor's senses, there is no other person with Margaret. In addition, Connor's mental power also senses that Margaret seems to have suffered some kind of injury, and her aura is very weak.

Upon realizing the situation before him, Connor immediately understood that something must have changed, and it was a very big change!

Just then, Margaret flew into the cabin and appeared before Connor. Like Connor, she was also covered in wounds and extremely weak. Upon seeing Connor, before he could speak, Margaret anxiously exclaimed, "Connor, something terrible has happened..."

Margaret had barely begun to speak, before she could finish, having struggled to get there, she could no longer hold on and collapsed into Connor's arms.

Connor quickly caught Margaret and held her in his arms. Without hesitation, he immediately used his mental power to check Margaret's body. To Connor's relief, although Margaret was covered in wounds and looked very disheveled, these wounds were all external injuries and not particularly serious. The reason Margaret had fainted was because she had consumed too much magic power and lost a lot of blood, so the problem wasn't too serious.

Connor imbued Margaret with some magic and then gave her a healing potion. He then stood aside, silently waiting for Margaret to awaken.

Although he didn't know exactly what Margaret meant by "something terrible had happened," Connor already had a guess in his mind. If he wasn't mistaken, his mentor, Professor Reyes of the Secret Society, should have already made his move first!

Furthermore, judging from Margaret's injuries, even if Reyes didn't succeed, he definitely gained a lot. Thinking of this, Connor looked at the dark moonlight outside the cabin and couldn't help but sigh deeply. No matter how you looked at it, the current situation seemed to be developing in a direction he didn't want to see.

Margaret was Elena's confidante, and Elena was the Storm Church's frontline commander in Frosinone. Therefore, it was clear that anyone capable of injuring Margaret so severely in Frosinone was undoubtedly one of Reyes's men. Furthermore, judging from the plan he and Margaret had devised, Margaret hadn't anticipated this battle. This suggested that Reyes had struck first, catching the Storm Church off guard.

Furthermore, since Margaret said "something terrible has happened," then it is clear that things are very bad for the Church of Storms.

Based on Margaret's injuries and the information she revealed, Connor could only analyze the situation to this extent for the time being. As for more specific details, Connor could only wait and learn from Margaret after she woke up.

Margaret's injuries were not very serious, and the potion made by Varga was very effective, so Margaret only remained unconscious for a little over two hours before slowly waking up.

"You're awake?"

Sensing Margaret's awakening, Connor, who was gazing out the window in deep thought, immediately took out another bottle of potion from his spatial ring and handed it to Margaret.

Taking the potion from Connor, Margaret, still somewhat conscious after just waking up, swallowed it without much thought. After taking the potion, Margaret meditated for a while to digest its effects. Half an hour later, fully recovered, Margaret opened her eyes, looked at Connor, and said leisurely, "Your Varga really has a talent for brewing potions. This Galens potion is the most effective one I've ever taken..."
