Wizard Earl

Thinking of this, Connor felt a surge of anger, stuck in his chest, unable to vent it. Just then, Varga, who had come to his aid, finally arrived late and came to Connor's side.

Upon seeing Connor's pale face and unsteady gait, and then noticing the signs of battle all over the ground, Varga instantly understood what had happened. Her heart ached, and she quickly helped Connor up, asking with concern, "Connor, are you alright?"

Seeing Varga's arrival, Connor saw no need to pretend anymore. Despite his serious injuries, he forced a smile, squeezed Varga's soft, boneless hand, and whispered to her, "I'm fine. We shouldn't stay here any longer!"

Although he said he was fine, Connor's body still weakly leaned against Varga's delicate body. When Varga saw Connor like this, her expression changed and she immediately wanted to check Connor's body. However, Connor was wary of Diego Lopez making a surprise return or having any accomplices nearby, so he immediately stopped Varga's actions.

Seeing that Connor had already made up his mind, Varga, though worried about Connor's health, did not go against his wishes. She quickly erased the traces of the battle and left the place with Connor.

Twenty minutes after Connor and Margaret left, a middle-aged woman with a seductive and alluring figure, wearing a red veil, arrived at the place. She carefully looked around but found nothing.

"According to Diego Lopez, even if Connor Ferguson wasn't dead, he must have been seriously injured. How could he have cleaned up the surroundings so thoroughly that not a single trace could be found?"

The middle-aged woman muttered to herself in disappointment. Still unwilling to give up, she searched her surroundings even more carefully, trying to find the direction Connor had escaped in. Unfortunately, despite her best efforts, she found nothing. Seeing this, the middle-aged woman could only shake her head helplessly and sigh, saying:

"The students taught by this secret society are indeed not as simple as they seem..."

Unbeknownst to them, Connor Ferguson, who had escaped unscathed through his own caution, was hiding with Varga in a nearby cave, and had not returned to Ferguson Manor as previously agreed.

Although it is still unknown who attacked Connor, everyone knows that Ferguson Manor is there. Ferguson Manor is just an ordinary manor. Although it has some defensive measures and the Ferguson family's knights guard it, those are only for dealing with ordinary people. It has no ability to resist the fighting between wizards.

Now that Connor is seriously injured, if he returns to Ferguson Manor and is attacked again, not only will Connor have difficulty protecting himself, but he will also endanger the ordinary members of the Ferguson family. Therefore, based on this consideration, Connor did not return to Ferguson Manor with Varga, but instead found a cave in the wilderness that no one knew about and hid there.

Although the conditions in this cave are a bit rudimentary, it is a safe place for Connor to recuperate and receive treatment from Varga. Connor really doesn't believe that the guy named Diego Lopez and his possible henchmen could actually track him down here.

In Connor's view, although his injuries were not light, they were only caused by the cursed artifact. Diego Lopez, on the other hand, not only suffered the damage from the use of the cursed artifact, but also was hit by several mental storms and a Hades Spear. His injuries were probably more serious than Connor Ferguson's. Now, he was probably hiding somewhere to heal, just like Connor.

While Diego Lopez was not a concern, Connor harbored a secret worry. He and this guy named Diego Lopez had no past grudges or present conflicts, and had never even met before today. Yet, upon their first meeting, they were locked in a life-or-death struggle. Clearly, Diego Lopez was acting under orders to cause him trouble.

Judging from Diego Lopez's ruthless methods, Connor felt that he was not a lone wolf and was probably working for some wizarding organization. So since Diego Lopez's attack on him failed, the other party might send a second wave of people to attack him. This was the main reason why Connor insisted on not returning to Ferguson Manor!

Compared to Connor's restless state of mind, Varga's situation was much simpler. She was holding Connor's hand and examining his body. It took Varga nearly half an hour to open her eyes, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Then she took out a pill with a faint fragrance from her spatial ring.

"Open your mouth!"

Varga brought the pill to Connor's lips, then said fiercely to him:

Seeing Varga's reaction, Connor blinked, then obediently opened his mouth and swallowed the pill Varga offered. This pill, while not as immediately effective as the potion, quickly dissolved in Connor's lower abdomen under his meditative practice, a warm current coursing through his body, soothing his injury from the cursed artifact…

"what!"

The warm current flowed through his body, and Connor, who was meditating with his eyes closed, couldn't help but let out a soft gasp of comfort. Seeing Connor like this, Varga, who was standing to the side, nodded slightly. Although Connor was seriously injured by the cursed artifact, fortunately, during her previous treatment, the injuries Connor suffered in the underground palace in Navas Forest, although not yet fully healed, were suppressed.

Therefore, the new injury Connor suffered did not trigger his old injuries. So although Connor's injuries are not minor, they are not too troublesome for Varga, the apothecary. With her treatment and Connor's rest for a while, he will be fine.

After observing Connor's condition for a while and confirming that he was temporarily alright, Varga began preparing to concoct medicine. Although the cave was secluded and safe, it was still somewhat inconvenient for a pharmacist like her. She had many medicine-making tools that were inconvenient to store in her spatial ring, which she had not brought with her but left at Ferguson Manor. Therefore, she would need to put in a lot more effort in treating Connor.
