Wizard Earl

Chapter 144 Margaret's Scheme

"Honestly, this is a really good idea!" Connor said earnestly to Varga after thinking it all through.

Although the Silverlight Pendant is a level 2 enchanted item, requiring the alchemist to possess the Spirit Fire, this means that Connor would need to have the cultivation level of an intermediate wizard apprentice to craft the Silverlight Pendant. This is not difficult for Connor; in fact, it can be said that it is only a matter of time. Connor felt that with the help of the mana-gathering potion that Varga had given him before, both his mana and mental strength had reached the peak of a beginner wizard apprentice.

Next, he just needs to wait for Varga's Greenland potion and heal his mental trauma before he can try to break through to the intermediate wizard apprentice level. If everything goes smoothly, this step can be completed in as little as one month or as long as three months. Once he becomes an intermediate wizard apprentice and has the Spirit Fire, Connor feels that with the help of the auxiliary chip, using Soul Crystals to replace the magic core of an adult Phantom Demon and refining the Silver Pendant will not be difficult at all.

Hearing that her advice had helped Connor, Varga leaned against Connor's chest, a happy smile spreading across her delicate face.

Having decided to attempt to craft the Silver Light Pendant, Connor began planning how to obtain materials other than Soul Crystals for crafting it.

Margaret's Church of Storms is a good channel, but I don't know how Margaret is doing now?

Connor glanced guiltily at Varga in his arms and thought to himself, "I really hope Margaret is safe and sound. Otherwise, this connection I've painstakingly built up, risking my life, will soon be severed."

To Connor's utter surprise, the woman he was thinking of, Margaret, appeared in his apartment at 16 Land Street, East Loen, along with Leonie, the young manager of the Jennifer's lingerie boutique at Imperial Department Store.

"Will it be alright if we hide here?" The young shopkeeper, Leonie, seemed a little nervous as she watched Margaret carefully selecting various wines from Connor's cellar.

Finally, Margaret selected a bottle of gin from Connor's collection. She took two glasses from the cupboard, sat back down next to Leonie, poured wine for both of them, and then handed one to Leonie.

After Leonie took the glass, Margaret gently swirled it, took a small sip of the gin, and exclaimed, "Connor, that guy, really knows how to enjoy himself! This gin tastes absolutely wonderful... Leonie, I recommend you try it!"

Leonie, holding a wine glass, was waiting for Margaret's reply and had no intention of drinking. However, after hearing Margaret's recommendation, she was tempted and, after a slight hesitation, took a tiny sip of the gin in her glass.

"Sister Leonie, do you know? Right here in this house, under the witness of the Eye of Arbitration, Connor and I made a vow!" Margaret's beautiful eyes swept around the decorations of Connor's apartment living room, as if recalling her past with Connor.

"Given the witness of the Eye of Arbitration, I cannot reveal the contents of my sister's oath to you, but I can tell you that Connor and I exchanged secrets, and we became... collaborators? Perhaps that's a better way to put it!"

"He has never asked me anything about blood witchcraft, just as I have never asked about his background. However, the difference is that I know his background, so I won't go into it. Connor is probably... a middleman!" When it came to the key point, Margaret did not say it directly, but chose to tell Leonie in a very cautious way through telepathy.

Leonie, the young shop manager who knew the key information, had a very interesting expression on her fair face!

"His identity, coupled with his status as the first heir of the Ferguson family and the future Earl of the Empire, can help us avoid a lot of trouble. For example, right now, we just need to hide here and we won't be attacked by those dark wizards or harassed by those stupid military police!"

Margaret pointed a slender, delicate finger to the floor and said, with a wry smile, "In short, to sum it up, it's the safest place I can find in Rune!"

Leonie nodded silently, agreeing with Margaret's point of view.

Margaret poured herself another glass of gin, savoring the drink as she murmured, "It's a pity the Crystal Palace Hotel closed three days ago. Otherwise, I could order a salmon from somewhere and pair it with Connor's fine wine—that would be absolutely wonderful!"

"puff·········"

Leonie couldn't hold back her laughter at Margaret's "resentment."

"Sister Leonie, let's just stay here for the next few days and experience the luxurious life of the nobles of the Kaman Empire..." Margaret downed her gin in one gulp and said calmly.

"What if Connor comes back if we stay here?" Leonie said worriedly.

"I lent him a Spirit Nourishing Pearl, which has a little trick on it that can pinpoint his location to me. I wonder what Connor is doing in Sassuolo Harbor right now!" Margaret said casually. As she spoke, her beautiful eyes seemed to have discovered something interesting. She lay down on Connor's soft bed and began to observe the murals on the ceiling above the bed!

"Connor is a very shrewd guy. Are you sure your Nourishing Bead can fool him?" Leonie's big eyes flashed with a hint of disbelief as she seemed to find Margaret's words hard to believe.

"That Connor guy isn't just shrewd; he's downright cunning and incredibly greedy. If I hadn't been seriously injured at the time, I would definitely have fought him for a share of what was inside that spatial ring. If he hadn't overdrawn his mental energy and suffered mental trauma this time, he probably wouldn't have accepted my Nourishing Spirit Pearl!"

"However, no matter how cunning Connor is, he still fell for my trick this time. There's nothing wrong with the Spirit Nourishing Bead itself, but Connor would never have imagined that the Spirit Nourishing Beads are a pair. As long as I possess one of them, plus the church's special magic, I can locate the other Spirit Nourishing Bead without anyone noticing..." Margaret said triumphantly, her jade hand stroking her spatial ring, revealing a Spirit Nourishing Bead in her hand that was exactly the same as the one she had lent to Connor. She showed the bead to Leonie!
