Wizard Earl

Having received confirmation from Elena, Margaret's expression turned serious as she said in a deep voice, "I know what to do, but Sister Elena, I can't decide for Connor where and when to meet; that's a choice Connor must make himself!"

Elena was somewhat displeased upon hearing this, but she also knew that what Margaret said was true. At most, Margaret could influence Connor Ferguson's decision, but she was far from being able to make decisions for Connor. So she could only nod in agreement.

After the general direction was determined, Margaret and Elena finalized some details. Then, Margaret left the cabin where Elena was hiding and went to meet up with Connor.

On Kuhn Avenue outside Frosinone, a somewhat dilapidated black carriage was being driven slowly towards downtown Frosinone by a very sturdy coachman.

Besides the driver, two people were sitting in the carriage. One was a young woman dressed in a light blue court dress and wearing a white veil. Although the veil obscured her face, the exquisite figure revealed by the dress already hinted at her stunning beauty…

Besides the young girl, the other person in the carriage was a gaunt old man in a traditional khaman robe. This man was none other than Adolf, the gray-robed old man who had dealt with Connor many times. Surprisingly, although he was still wearing his signature gray traditional robe, he did not cover his face with the hood of the robe as usual, but instead showed his true face.

At this moment, Adolf and the veiled girl, whose face was obscured, sat facing each other in the carriage, both with their eyes closed, resting in silence.

Realizing that the carriage was getting closer and closer to the city of Frosinone, Adolf in the carriage could no longer hold back. He opened his eyes and looked at Adolf in front of him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Noticing Adolf's gaze, the girl wearing the white veil opened her eyes, met his gaze, exchanged a glance, and then Adolf said with a wry smile, "Miss Isabella, you're making me make a mistake..."

Upon hearing Adolf's words, the girl wearing a white veil—who was also an old acquaintance of Connor's and the mysterious Isabella from the royal faction—smiled slyly and said softly, "I came here of my own accord. What does it have to do with you, Teacher Adolf?"

Adolf shook his head at Isabella's sophistry, then said solemnly, "Miss Isabella, you have just broken through to the level of a first-level wizard, and your realm has not yet stabilized. You should find a quiet place and spend some time to completely stabilize your realm. That is the right thing to do."

"Flosinone is a chaotic place right now, and the situation is extremely messy. To be honest, even if I came here myself, I wouldn't be very confident that I could get out unscathed. So, Miss Isabella, you shouldn't have come here. Your identity is too sensitive..." After saying that, Adolf gave Isabella a meaningful look.

Adolf's words did not surprise Isabella. She brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead and said slowly, "Stabilizing one's realm can be done elsewhere, and it can be done in Frosinone as well. There is no conflict between the two!"

"Flosinone is currently experiencing a period of great change and excitement. It would be such a shame if I missed it," Isabella retorted calmly.

Seeing Isabella's resolute attitude, Adolf, knowing that any further persuasion would be futile, could only shake his head helplessly. He then looked at Isabella again and patiently instructed her, "Flosinone is different today than usual, Miss Isabella. You must be careful in everything you do, and follow my instructions completely. Do not act on your own!"

Seeing that her teacher, Adolf, was finally willing to compromise and take her to Frosinone, Isabella smiled beneath her veil and nodded slightly, saying, "No problem."

Although he received a positive answer from Isabella, Adolf's aged face was still clouded with worry, and his gaze towards Isabella still showed some concern. It was clear that Adolf still did not quite believe Isabella's promise.

Isabella didn't want to continue on that topic, so she changed the subject and asked Adolf, "Professor Adolf, could you tell me what your mission to Frosinone is this time?"

Upon hearing this question, Adolf hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know what my mission is either. My superiors only told me to return to Frosinone and restart our intelligence system there..."

Upon hearing this, Isabella's beautiful eyes, hidden beneath her white veil, flickered, revealing a hint of confusion. No matter how she interpreted it, Adolf's mission this time always seemed to have a strange undertone.

Although the "higher authorities" are far from the city of Frosinone, such a major incident in Frosinone should surely attract their attention. They should understand that Frosinone is currently a giant powder keg, ready to explode with a single spark.

The royal faction had anticipated the current situation and had already decided to remain neutral. Isabella and Adolf left Frosinone early on, and the rest of their personnel were not used and were hidden away in Frosinone.

Now that the situation in Frosinone is not yet over, "the higher-ups" have ordered Adolf to return to Frosinone and reactivate the previously hidden intelligence network. This is clearly not normal. Isabella guesses that there must have been some major change in the situation in Frosinone, which has led to a change in "the higher-ups'" strategy.

After pondering for a while, Isabella still couldn't come up with a solution. Feeling the carriage had re-enter the city of Frosinone, she gently pulled back the curtains, gazing at the familiar scenery outside, and murmured to herself, "Frosinone, I'm back..."
