Wizard Earl

Chapter 1166 The Grand Finale (2)

After listening to Isabella's advice, Connor pondered for a moment, then nodded silently.

Although the truth may be that Reyes did all this to protect himself, unfortunately, Reyes has become a lingering shadow in Connor's heart, and Connor has absolutely no trust in his mentor.

Even if Reyes posed no real threat to him, Connor would only keep his distance. Furthermore, Connor Ferguson, now a fully-fledged wizard, was accustomed to his independent existence, so he never even considered...

She has absolutely no desire to go back to Reyes' side!

Seeing Connor nod, Isabella's expression softened considerably. Although her relationship with Connor was far from close, she didn't want to become his enemy.

"What are your next steps?" Isabella asked Connor after a moment's hesitation.

"I plan to leave Frosinone, anywhere is fine with me. Things are too complicated here now, I don't want to get involved anymore!" Connor said sincerely.

"Then what about your Ferguson family?"

Isabella spoke with some curiosity, saying that through the information gathered by the royal faction, she knew that as the current Earl of Ferguson, Connor was very concerned about his family.

"Don't worry about that. I have a capable subordinate in the Ferguson family. Even though I've left here, I can still remotely command from behind!" Connor explained.

In fact, after deciding to leave Frosinone and protect himself, Connor had already made arrangements for the Ferguson family. He would support Arbeloa to become a senior wizard apprentice. This guy had done a lot of dirty and tiring work for him during this time, and it was time to give him a taste of the good things.

With Arbeloa at the forefront, Connor can use the communication enchanted item to remotely control Arbeloa from behind the scenes, allowing him to continue Arbeloa's unfinished work. This ensures Connor's safety and maximizes the protection of his efforts to reform the Ferguson family.

Furthermore, Connor had already planted a plan in Arbeloa's mind long ago. He would know immediately of any slight movement Arbeloa made, so he had no fear of Arbeloa betraying him.

After listening to Connor's story, Isabella took out a jade slip from her spatial ring and handed it to Connor, saying, "This is my contact information. You can contact me anytime if you need anything."

Isabella paused for a moment, then said, slowly and deliberately, "My father said that if you're willing, our door will be open for you!"

Hearing Isabella's words, Connor instinctively wanted to refuse her curiosity, but looking into her eyes, his heart softened, and he inexplicably accepted the jade slip she offered.

Seeing Connor accept the jade slip, Isabella's expression relaxed. She then looked at the man before her one last time before saying, "I hope we can meet again someday..."

After saying this, Isabella left without waiting for Connor's response, leaving Connor standing there dumbfounded.

"well········"

Connor, who had been standing there for a long time, sighed. This encounter with the royal faction had passed without serious danger. However, as the saying goes, it is hardest to repay the kindness of a beautiful woman. Today, he owed Isabella a huge favor, which he feared would be difficult to repay in the future.

Connor knew that Isabella's suggestion was merely wishful thinking on her part, a self-serving act. The high and mighty Duke of the Secret Society wouldn't trust him at all, and Connor, in turn, lacked trust in the Duke's faction...

Most importantly, while Connor was unwilling to return to Reyes' side, he was also unwilling to stand against Reyes. Furthermore, Connor was unwilling to betray Varga and Margaret, who had followed him for many years, for Isabella's sake.

Connor shook his head, clearing his mind of his worries, and quickly headed towards downtown Frosinone. He was going to meet up with Varga and then leave Frosinone as soon as possible.

Connor soon arrived at a house in the Simão neighborhood of Frosinone. This was a safe house he and Varga had built, where they agreed to meet in case of any emergency. Now, without a doubt, it was time to activate the safe house.

In the safe house, Connor finally met Varga. Varga had cried until she had no tears left. She was so excited to see Connor return safely that she almost fainted. It took her a while to calm down. However, to Connor's surprise, in addition to Varga, he also saw Margaret in the safe house.

Seemingly noticing Connor's confusion, Margaret reluctantly explained, "Valga was killed by the Duke's faction because of you, so the first thing he wanted to do after arriving here was to meet me to avenge you. That's why I came to see him."

Although Margaret spoke calmly, Connor naturally understood the immense risk Margaret, as a member of the Church of Storms, was taking to meet Varga at such a crucial moment. Deeply moved, Connor gave Margaret a big hug.

After the three of them calmed down a bit, Connor told Margaret and Varga everything Isabella had told him about Reyes.

After hearing Connor's account, Margaret and Varga, like Connor who had heard the news from Isabella, were deeply lost in thought, their shock lingering for a long time...

"Although that's the current news, I've made up my mind. I will not go back to Reyes no matter what. I will leave Frosinone immediately after today and will definitely not come back anytime soon!" Looking at the two most important women in his life, Connor slowly stated his decision.

Varga, who already knew about Connor's decision, nodded and said:

"I've already drugged those old men in the Ferguson family who are just sitting idly by. It won't be long before they die of natural causes one after another. Even if a wizard investigates, they won't find anything. By then, with the help of my potions, Arbeloa will be close to breaking through to become a high-level wizard apprentice. With him standing in the spotlight as a target, Connor, you can continue to carry out the transformation of the Ferguson family from behind the scenes."

Connor nodded upon hearing this; the operation Varga had devised was exactly what he was planning to carry out.

"Connor, if you really intend to leave, take me with you!" Margaret, lost in thought, said to Connor with a smile.

Upon hearing Margaret's words, Connor was taken aback, then said with some surprise, "Margaret, you're not joking with me, are you?"

"Of course not. Although Hummels is dead, Elena has also lost the Pope's trust. Given the current chaotic situation, I should seize the opportunity!" Margaret said with a smile.

"And as you know, if I stay in the Church of Storms, Blood Magic is a ticking time bomb. No matter how well I hide it, it will explode sooner or later... What, Connor, you don't want to take me with you?" At the end of her explanation, Margaret changed the subject and joked with Connor:

Seeing that Margaret finally wanted to leave the Church of Storms, Connor was overjoyed and immediately wanted to agree. However, when he thought of Varga beside him, Connor hesitated for a moment. But this did not stop Connor, who wanted to have both women, from agreeing first.

However, to Connor's utter surprise, just as he opened his mouth to speak, Varga, standing beside him, preemptively said to Margaret very earnestly, "Welcome!"

Although it was only two words, Varga's attitude surprised both Connor and Margaret. Varga was very kind to Connor, but she and Margaret were always at odds and would fight whenever they met. How could she suddenly change her attitude and tolerate Margaret's presence?

Under Connor's astonished gaze, Varga remained calm and composed as she looked at Margaret.

Varga was an extremely intelligent woman. After spending time with him, she understood Margaret's importance to Connor, and also the deep bond between them. Therefore, even though she still harbored some resentment, she could only choose to accept it for the sake of everyone's well-being…

Sensing the reconciliation Varga was conveying, Margaret naturally reciprocated by nodding and saying with a hint of gratitude, "Thank you!"

Although the reconciliation between the two women was somewhat sudden, Connorton was gratified to see this scene. The conflict between Margaret and Varga had always been a major knot in his heart. He had originally thought that it would remain so for the rest of his life, but he never expected that the two of them would reconcile like this.

Having resolved their conflict and in good spirits, the three, not wanting to delay, only stayed briefly in the safe house before quietly leaving. Since going to the train station to catch a train out of Frosinone would be too conspicuous, they simply found a carriage, disguised themselves, and drove the carriage towards the outskirts of Frosinone…

As soon as the carriage left the city, Connor's expression shifted slightly. He stopped the carriage, took out a letter from his spatial ring, and found it to be Reyes's blank letter. However, what was strange was that this blank sheet of paper, which Connor had previously identified as having nothing on it, now had countless black runes appearing on it before his eyes.

Upon seeing these runes, Connor Ferguson, who was practicing the Abyss Arcane Arts, immediately became serious. If he was not mistaken, these runes were the cultivation methods for the later stages of the Abyss Arcane Arts for first-level wizards. Reyes had not taught him these contents before.

Therefore, Connor has always used auxiliary chips for calculations and deductions, and his cultivation progress has not been particularly fast. It is precisely because of this that Connor, who has been at the level of a first-level wizard for quite some time, has never been able to touch the threshold of becoming a second-level wizard. But now that he has these methods, the day when Connor breaks through from a first-level wizard to a second-level wizard may not be far away.

Thinking of this, Connor Ferguson, with mixed feelings, couldn't help but look back at the huge city behind him that had caused him so much distress.

Just as Connor paused to gaze at Frosinone, Varga and Margaret, inside the carriage, saw that Connor had stopped the carriage. Thinking that Connor had discovered something, they both lifted the curtains and asked Connor somewhat nervously, "What happened?"

Seeing the tension on Varga's pretty face, Connor understood. He sighed inwardly but ultimately chose to let it go, smiling at Margaret. Varga shook her head and continued driving away...
