Wizard Earl

Hearing Elena say this, Margaret, even though she wanted to bring Elena and Connor together, couldn't say anything more and could only helplessly say, "In that case, Elena, I'll head back now. Please contact me anytime if you need anything!"

"Yes, Margaret, you should also be careful..." Elena was speaking when suddenly her expression changed, as if something was wrong. Seeing this, Margaret very tactfully nodded to Elena, then put on her long robe and hood, and walked out of the small wooden house where Elena was hiding.

However, to Margaret's utter surprise, she had barely walked a hundred meters from the cabin when she heard Elena's very solemn voice.

"Margaret, there's an unexpected situation I need to tell you."

Although Elena's voice was very serious, suggesting that something major had happened, Margaret, who knew Elena's personality very well, could detect a hint of embarrassment in her words.

Sensing the awkwardness, Margaret, naturally curious about what had happened, didn't hesitate. Wearing her robe, she turned and went back to the small cabin where Elena was hiding. Just as she entered, before she could even ask what had occurred, Elena, her face grave, said to her with absolute certainty, "Hummels has come to Frosinone!"

Upon hearing Elena's words, Margaret was taken aback. However, she had already realized this when she discussed it with Connor, so she quickly regained her composure, thought for a moment, and asked Elena, "The Magic Mirror Project?"

Since it was Elena who had revealed the information about the Magic Mirror Project to Margaret, Elena wasn't surprised that Margaret knew about this major secret of the Storm Church. Therefore, when Margaret asked her about it, Elena hesitated for a moment, but under Margaret's gaze, she nodded slightly and explained:

"Although my intelligence didn't mention it, it's only been two or three days since I informed His Holiness the Pope about Jovic's situation. In such a short time, to reach Frosinone, I can't think of any other possibility besides using the Magic Mirror Project to teleport to Godlarsburg and then from Godlarsburg to Frosinone..."

Upon hearing this, Margaret nodded in agreement. Elena shared the same thought. Theoretically speaking, the only possibility for Hummels to arrive in Frosinone so quickly was indeed the rumored Magic Mirror Project.

After a few seconds of hesitation, seeing that Elena didn't speak, Margaret took the initiative and asked, "Sister Elena, is there anything you need me to do?"

Margaret was a smart woman. She knew very well that Hummels' arrival in Frosinone meant a new change in the situation there, which was a huge danger for Elena, Hummels' number one confidante!

Therefore, Elena must have had her reasons for calling her back under such circumstances; it was not an unintentional mistake!

It was unclear what Elena wanted Margaret to do. When Margaret asked her question, Elena's expression turned serious, but a fleeting hint of embarrassment quickly crossed her face.

Margaret, noticing the change in Elena's expression, was even more puzzled as to what Elena meant. So she added, "Sister Elena, I've been able to stay safe and sound in the church all these years entirely thanks to your care. If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know. Don't be shy!"

Elena was deeply moved upon hearing this. She hesitated for a moment, then said awkwardly, "It's like this, Margaret, could you arrange for me to meet with Connor...?"

"Forehead·········"

Upon hearing Elena's request, Margaret, who had been mentally prepared, was taken aback. She immediately found it quite amusing and understood why Elena's expression and words were so awkward. Elena had been so resolute in her refusal just now, but in the blink of an eye, she was asking to arrange a meeting between her and Connor. It was truly hard not to laugh.

Although Margaret found Elena's actions somewhat laughable, seeing how embarrassed Elena was, Margaret decided not to make fun of her any further in order to save face for her "older sister."

After a moment's hesitation, Margaret looked at Elena and tentatively asked, "Sister Elena, what are you planning to do with Connor?"

Elena didn't answer Margaret's question directly, but instead asked in return, "Margaret, didn't you tell me that Connor Ferguson is an alchemist, and that the top-tier second-tier enchanted staff he has was crafted by him alone?"

Although somewhat puzzled as to why Elena had suddenly shifted the topic to alchemy, she nodded in agreement:

"Yes! Most of the alchemical tools I use were made by Connor. As you know, Elena, Reyes passed on his alchemical knowledge to Connor. Connor's current alchemical skill level is probably only slightly below that of a Grand Alchemist who can forge Tier 3 enchanted items..."

At this point, Margaret paused, suddenly realizing what Elena was thinking. She then asked, "Sister Elena, are you planning to have Connor help you repair the Frostfire Staff?"

Seeing that Margaret had already guessed, Elena stopped trying to hide it. Under Margaret's gaze, she sighed and explained, "If it weren't for this Frostfire Staff, I would have died at Reyes's hands back at Mensaka Manor. Although I survived, the Frostfire Staff is severely damaged. I originally planned to slowly heal and restore it, but now that Hummels has arrived, I don't have that time."

"I don't know what Hummels is really thinking, but whatever his intentions are, I need to prepare for the worst and do my best to recover my strength. I have a feeling Hummels is going to make a move against me..." Elena looked at Margaret and said sadly.
