Wizard Earl

"Let's leave it for now. I don't want anything to do with Reyes before I deal with that bitch Elena." Hummels shook his head, not bothering to hide his true intentions, since even if he didn't say it, the other party would be able to guess.

Having explained the whole story, Hummels steered the conversation back to the main topic, saying with a serious expression, "Once that woman awakens, I will use the pretext of personally interrogating her to have two high-ranking wizard apprentices bring her here. If your men are competent, they should obtain the timing and route map, and then you can arrange for Adolf to take action!"

"Hmph! Hummels, you've got some clever schemes up your sleeve. You're using this opportunity to dig out the people I've planted in the church!" The owner of this deep voice immediately understood what Hummels was planning.

"You understand, this is a serious matter, and I always need to give others an explanation." Seeing that the other person had seen through his thoughts at a glance, Hummels didn't hide it and said with a smile:

After Hummels finished speaking, no more sounds came from the card, clearly indicating that the other party had tacitly agreed to Hummels' idea. Seeing this, Hummels carefully put the card back into his spatial ring, and said in a low voice, "I'd like to see who is so despicable as to inform the secret society from my side?"

A week later, in the early morning in Frosinone, Margaret, dressed in a long robe and wearing a black veil, quietly arrived at the cave where Connor was hiding on the outskirts of Frosinone.

As soon as Margaret entered the cave, Varga, eager to avenge Connor, didn't hesitate and immediately asked her, "Margaret, is there any news about Diego Lopez?"

Upon hearing Varga's question, Margaret's expression changed slightly. She glanced at Varga, then at Connor, who was leaning against the stone bed and seemed much better, before slowly saying:

"Connor, Varga, I have something to tell you both!"

Although they didn't know what had happened to make Margaret act so strangely, Connor and Varga exchanged a glance, and then Connor asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Diego Lopez is dead. One of his companions was captured by the church, but he was abducted yesterday during the transfer of his prison location..." Margaret said in a low voice.

Upon hearing Margaret's words, both Connor and Varga were startled. Connor, though somewhat surprised, quickly regained his composure, appearing outwardly calm. Varga, however, lacked Connor's composure and exclaimed in shock:

"What?"

"You heard me right, Diego López is dead, and Anna Lehna was captured by the church and then kidnapped!" Seeing Varga's surprise, Margaret repeated what she had just said to her.

"Margaret, what exactly happened? Do you know the details?" At this point, Connor's curiosity finally got the better of him, and he couldn't help but ask Margaret.

Upon hearing Connor's question, Margaret gave him a deep look. After Connor was somewhat taken aback by her gaze and wondered what she meant, Margaret slowly said, "According to my sources, this is what happened: shortly after Diego Lopez attacked you, Bispin and Southgate found the Moro Society's safe house in Frosinone and attacked Diego Lopez and Anna Lehena, who were hiding there."

"This Diego Lupes is quite ruthless. Knowing that he was seriously injured at the time and could not possibly escape from Bispin and Southgate's pursuit, he used a secret technique to activate his will to die, determined to hold off Bispin and Southgate and buy time for his companions to leave..."

"This Diego Lopez, though brave, didn't succeed. Despite his obstruction, Southgate caught up with his companion and severely injured him. However, their fight, though taking place in the suburbs, was discovered by the church. De Zelby led a team of arbitrators, scared Southgate away, and captured Diego Lopez's companion. Judging from the bloodstains at the scene, Diego Lopez should already be dead!"

Hearing Margaret's words, Varga's expression clearly showed disappointment. These past few days, while she was concocting potions for Connor in the cave, she had been eagerly awaiting news from Margaret so she could kill Diego Lopez, the man who dared to harm Connor. But to her utter dismay, that bastard was already dead before she could even kill him…

"What happened next?" Connor immediately asked after processing the information Margaret had given him.

"This companion of Diego Lopez was already severely injured and unconscious when she was captured by Southgate, making her unsuitable for interrogation. So Hummels first imprisoned her in the Storm Church's secret prison in Frosinone and arranged for an apothecary to treat her wounds."

"After these days of treatment, the man's injuries have improved considerably, and he regained consciousness yesterday. Therefore, Hummels ordered that the man be transferred from the secret prison to the Church of Grian, where he resides, for a personal interrogation."

"But what we didn't expect was that someone knew in advance the route and time of this person's transport from the secret prison to the Church of Grian. During the transport, they killed the Storm Church Arbitrator escorting him and kidnapped him. Hummels was furious when he found out about this, and he's probably in the Church of Grian now, raging and trying to catch this traitor who leaked the information..." Margaret said in a deep voice.

Noticing that Margaret used the Kaman language to refer to Diego Lopez's abducted companion as "she" instead of "he," Connor had a sudden thought and immediately asked, "This Diego Lopez companion is a woman? Can you confirm her identity?"

"Yes, she's said to be a very beautiful woman. Our initial assessment is that she's Anna Lehena, the one with the mysterious identity rumored to be in the Moro Society. However, because the church lacks information about her, we can't be 100% certain of her identity yet!" Margaret nodded and explained.
