Wizard Earl

Chapter 1162 Reunion with Isabella

Before Connor could finish speaking, Varga interrupted him firmly, saying:

"No, Connor Ferguson, we've said it before, in life and in death, we'll be together. You can't abandon me!"

As she spoke, two lines of clear tears slid down Varga's pretty face.

Seeing Varga like this, Connor felt both touched and somewhat complicated. Although Bisping and Southgate made it sound good that they wouldn't stop him and Varga from leaving, there was no doubt that Connor didn't trust them. These two might say one thing but do another behind the scenes.

Although Connor was physically injured, his mind was very clear. If Bisping and Southgate really had something on their minds, then it was obvious that his and Varga's fate would be very bad!

Given his current physical condition, he definitely can't run far, and Varga clearly won't give up. Since he can't outrun them, facing Bispin and Southgate will only mean a fight to the death...

Therefore, the last resort is for the seriously injured Connor to sacrifice himself and stay behind to monitor Bispin and Southgate, covering Varga's escape. If Southgate and Bispin have no ill intentions, then it will be a blessing from heaven and everything will be fine. But if these two are indeed as Connor suspects, harboring evil intentions, Connor can at least guarantee that Varga can escape alive.

In this world, Margaret and Varga were his closest people. However, unlike Margaret, Connor always felt guilty towards Varga. After all, if it were Varga, Connor Ferguson's remains might be in that stinking ditch. So now, if he had the chance to repay Varga's kindness, Connor would be very willing.

Besides wanting to cover Varga's escape, Connor, although he disagreed with Southgate's claim that Reyes could kill him at any time, also wanted to have a serious talk with his teacher. Whatever Reyes wanted to do to him, it was time to lay his cards on the table!

Gently wiping away the tears on Varga's face, Connor wanted to say something more to her. However, at that moment, as a psychic wizard, Connor's powerful mental energy instantly sensed several powerful auras quietly closing in on them. Connor's expression changed instantly, and he tried to pull the emotionally agitated Varga away.

But before they could run two steps, they heard a familiar sigh.

"Psychic wizards are such a hassle..."

With that sigh, a burly man and a blonde woman in a green dress blocked Connor's path. Both of them were first-level wizards, and judging from their auras, these two formal wizards were extremely powerful, not ordinary first-level wizards!

Just as Connor and Varga were blocked, two bald, fully-fledged wizards appeared on Bispin and Southgate's side, keeping a close eye on them.

Upon seeing the appearance of these four formal wizards, Varga, who was being held in Connor's arms, slightly changed her expression. Perhaps knowing that Connor didn't know who these four people were, she whispered in Connor's ear, "The people in front of us are Jonathan, Hilbia, Bispin, and the two on their side are the Puig brothers. All four of them are from the Duke's faction!"

Even without Varga's reminder, Connor, though unfamiliar with the four formal wizards, understood their identities! After listening to Varga's introduction, Connor nodded slightly, then focused his attention on the two formal wizards, Jonathan and Hilbia, behind him. If his mental perception was correct, the owner of that sigh—Isabella—was there.

Amidst the standoff among the eight formal wizards present, Isabella, the main character, slowly appeared in everyone's sight, accompanied by her bodyguard, Adolf. Just as Margaret had said, she had now broken through from being a senior wizard apprentice when she first met Connor to becoming a genuine formal wizard!

Upon seeing this group suddenly appear, Bispin and Southgate, two seasoned veterans, immediately turned very ugly. However, perhaps knowing that the bandits were powerful and that everyone needed to stick together for mutual support, the two of them, along with Connor and Varga, moved closer together in perfect unison, wary of the suddenly appearing royal faction of formal wizards, and prepared to defeat them one by one.

As soon as Isabella appeared, she glanced around at everyone present before turning her gaze to Connor. Connor didn't seem to mind Isabella's gaze, but Varga in his arms seemed a little jealous and consciously moved closer to Connor, as if to assert her ownership of him to Isabella.

After a few seconds of eye contact with Connor, Isabella looked at him and said with some complicated emotions, "During my time away from Frosinone, I've heard a lot about you. I've thought about the circumstances under which we might meet again, but unfortunately, our reunion will be under these circumstances..."

After Isabella finished speaking, Connor was somewhat surprised, but Varga, who was in his arms, turned pale and stared coldly at Isabella. Although Isabella's words were veiled, Varga, being a woman herself, keenly realized the meaning behind Isabella's words, which undoubtedly made her jealousy soar.

I'm still here, and you're already flirting. If I weren't here, would you two just go find a place to have sex?

Thinking of this, Varga felt an unbearable pang of jealousy. However, given the current situation, she naturally couldn't do anything to Isabella with the four formal wizards and Adolf's group of five blocking her way. Therefore, she could only vent her anger on Connor. Furious, she skillfully and secretly pinched the soft flesh of Connor's waist, rotating him 360 degrees...

"Forehead!"

Despite the pain, Connor grasped Varga's soft, boneless hand, and at the same time, very politely but meaningfully replied to Isabella, "If we weren't here, I think I would be very happy to meet you, Miss Isabella, and reminisce about the past!"
