Wizard Earl

Chapter 195, First Stroke, Chapter 92: Trust in Varga

Looking at the Manolas potion in his hand, and then at the Fabian potion in Varga's, Connor tentatively asked Varga, "Varga, have you reached a certain level in potion-making...?"

"I don't know what level I've reached yet, but I've learned almost everything about Teacher Gulsi!" Varga said earnestly.

Varga's answer meant that Connor was already prepared for this, but he was still shocked when Varga confirmed it.

As far as Connor knew, Manolas Potion involved dozens of magical potions and had an extremely complicated brewing method. It represented the pinnacle of potion-making that a wizard apprentice could achieve, and very few apprentice-level alchemists could successfully brew it. Fabian Potion, which alleviated the side effects of Manolas Potion, was even twice as difficult and complicated to brew. Not to mention apprentice-level alchemists, even alchemists who had reached the level of formal wizards would not dare to claim success in brewing it.

For Varga to have reached this level with her current cultivation level is truly terrifying...

Varga's time outside seemed to be limited. After handing both bottles of potion to Connor, she hurriedly said goodbye to him and left.

After smilingly seeing Varga off, Connor walked out of the apartment and, in a secluded corner of the apartment garden, dug a hexagonal crystal out of the soil.

Holding the hexagonal crystal, Connor returned to his apartment. Lindelof was indeed very capable; he had dismantled all of Connor's alchemical mechanisms in the apartment. However, he overlooked one point: the scope of Connor's mechanisms was not limited to the apartment building but also included the garden... and the hexagonal crystal in his hand was a treasure that had been spared from destruction.

As Connor mentally sensed the scene within the hexagonal crystal, his expression gradually became serious. The crystal clearly recorded that the severely injured Lindelof had infiltrated his apartment. However, what concerned him was not this detail, but rather the events recorded within the crystal. Ten minutes after Connor returned to his apartment, while he and Lindelof were exchanging information, a petite figure that Connor recognized intimately also infiltrated his apartment.

Looking at the petite figure in the picture, Connor's pupils shrank to the size of pinholes. He, Connor Ferguson, had never expected that his bedmate would have such strength.

Varga is now a mid-level wizard apprentice, just like him, and of course, their cultivation levels are the same. Although Connor found it somewhat surprising, upon closer reflection, it was easy to accept. After all, Varga had started cultivating earlier than him, and he himself was an apothecary. In addition, with the resources of the secret society, becoming a mid-level apprentice was both unexpected and reasonable.

What truly made Connor nervous was that, in addition to reaching the intermediate level of wizard apprenticeship, Varga's combat strength seemed to be not to be underestimated. At least when she infiltrated, Connor, whose mental strength far surpassed that of other mental wizards of the same level, did not detect anything. Moreover, Connor felt that Lindelof, the advanced wizard apprentice he was facing, seemed to be just as unaware of Varga's infiltration as he was.

As the story continues, Varga has been lurking outside her apartment, secretly observing the battle between Connor and Lindelof, and pointing out that Lindelof puts on the ring and summons those crimson evil spirits.

Sitting on the sofa, Connor began to ponder. Although Varga was exhibiting some unusual behavior, Connor felt he could still trust her. He owed his current level of cultivation primarily to Varga; without her potions, he wouldn't have become an intermediate wizard apprentice so quickly.

Now that Lindelof and Salah are dead, it's no surprise that all members of the Celta Cult in Loen have perished. However, the only regret is that it's still unclear what the Ferguson family ancestor, Stip Ferguson, obtained from the Celta Cult that made them still haunt him and hunt him down after hundreds of years.

It seems that as the heir to the family fortune and the future Earl of Ferguson, I still need to return to the Ferguson family to see what secrets my family is hiding...

After finishing his contemplation, Connor looked around and a bitter smile appeared on his face. This apartment, which had just been renovated, was in a mess again after his battle with Lindelof, and needed to be renovated again.

"Teacher, this is a mana restoration potion I've concocted. Would you please take a look?" In a room at Gulsi Hospital filled with various equipment and permeated with the scent of herbs, Varga, having removed her disguise mask, respectfully handed a bottle of potion to Dr. Gulsi beside her.

If Connor were here, he would be astonished by Varga's skill in crafting. Mana restoration potions are ordinary potions that help wizards restore their mana, but the one in Varga's hand is a formal wizard-grade mana restoration potion. Although there are some minor impurities in the potion, judging from the liquid, there is no doubt that Varga's crafting this time was successful.

Taking the potion from Varga and feeling the energy within, even Dr. Gulsi, who was already accustomed to Varga's talent in potion-making, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her well-maintained face. After a long while, she said with a complicated expression, "Varga, although your wizard-level mana restoration potion still has flaws in purifying sage leaves and concentrating the potion, it's already a finished product. Congratulations, Varga, you can now start trying wizard-level potions. However, I suggest you wait until you become an advanced wizard apprentice before continuing your research."

"Thank you, teacher. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to concoct a wizard-level potion so quickly!" Varga bowed deeply to Doctor Gulsi.

Looking at Varga with affection, Dr. Gulsi shook his head and said kindly, "I only played a guiding role for you. It's mainly your own talent that matters. Varga, your talent in pharmacology is unparalleled in my life. If you continue to develop like this, becoming a Grand Apothecary won't be difficult for you!"

Varga did not show any arrogance in front of Connor in response to Gulsi's praise. Instead, she calmly and humbly replied, "Teacher, you flatter me. I still have a long way to go to become a Grand Apothecary!"
