Wizard Earl

Chapter 196 Suspected Appearance of a Vengeful Spirit

Varga's humility earned her an approving look from Dr. Gulsi, who hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm planning an experiment soon. Ceballos wants to refine an energy-gathering potion. Varga, could you give him some pointers?"

Despite Dr. Gulsi's casual instructions, Varga frowned slightly. However, since Dr. Gulsi was her teacher, she eventually suppressed her reluctance and said, "Yes, teacher. I will help Ceballos refine the energy-gathering potion."

"Very good. Once you become a senior wizard apprentice, the secret society's formal wizard-level potion knowledge will be unlocked for you!" Hearing Varga's promise, Dr. Gulsi nodded in satisfaction, left with a promise, and drifted away.

"A high-level wizard apprentice? It won't be long..." After Gulsi had walked away, Varga muttered to herself, her eyes now icy cold, devoid of the innocence and naiveté she displayed with Connor...

Putting her disguise back on, Varga returned to her room in the hospital. But to Varga's utter surprise, a tall, handsome young man with flowing hair was standing at her door. He was holding a bunch of tulips, and a smile immediately appeared on his handsome face when he saw Varga.

"Valga, congratulations on successfully crafting a wizard-level potion. This bouquet of tulips is for you; I hope you like it!" With that, the long-haired young man handed the bouquet to Valga with a beaming smile.

Varga gave the young man a deep look, but didn't refuse the tulips he offered. However, after accepting them, she coldly said to him, "Ceballos, thank you for the tulips, but I need to rest now..."

"No problem, you get some rest!" Ceballos didn't seem to mind Varga's coldness towards him. He bowed slightly to Varga in a very gentlemanly manner, then turned and left.

After opening her bedroom door, Varga threw the tulips Ceballos had given her into the trash can. Although tulips were her favorite flower, it didn't mean she liked tulips given to her by other men.

After Ceballos's actions, Varga, who had originally wanted to meditate for a while, was always restless and unable to enter a deep meditative state. Since that was the case, Varga simply stopped forcing herself to meditate and began to think.

Ceballos is the only son of her teacher, Dr. Gulsi, and also Dr. Gulsi's beloved son. After spending some time at the Gulsi Hospital in Vargara, Ceballos was summoned to his mother Dr. Gulsi's side.

Varga had never told Ceballos that she liked tulips, but she wasn't surprised that Ceballos would give her tulips, because Dr. Gulsi knew that she liked tulips.

Although Dr. Gulsi didn't say it explicitly, Varga understood perfectly what her teacher meant. She dared not tell Connor, because knowing him as she did, she feared that if he did, he would have yet another ghost in his hands…

To be honest, Varga felt that if Ceballos hadn't been Dr. Gulsi's only son and hadn't pursued her, she might not have been so cold towards him. Ceballos wasn't a bad person; on the contrary, he was a true gentleman, and in the cruel world of wizards, he seemed somewhat out of place.

At first, Varga thought Ceballos was just putting on an act, but over time, her impression of him gradually changed. Although her impression improved, Varga's attitude towards Ceballos remained cold and distant. After all, Connor had firmly taken hold of her heart, and she couldn't let Ceballos make a wrong judgment.

While Varga was agonizing over Ceballos, Connor was in his room having a secret rendezvous with another stunningly beautiful woman.

"Margaret, why are you suddenly asking me about resentment?" Connor, sitting on the sofa in his apartment, squinting and swirling his wine glass, looked at Margaret sitting opposite him with some confusion.

Today, Connor had contacted Margaret through Audrey, which led to this secret meeting. Connor originally intended to reveal to Margaret some information about the magic stone mines that might be hidden in the Tunguska region and not discovered or managed by the Church and the Empire. However, Margaret gave him a surprise as soon as they met.

At this moment, Margaret's brows were slightly furrowed, and her complexion was not very good, as if she were preoccupied. Hearing Connor's question, she carefully considered her words before speaking, "A week ago, a village in the northern suburbs of Rune was suspected of being haunted by vengeful spirits. I wanted to see if you had any news on your end."

Margaret's words immediately intrigued Connor. The creation of vengeful spirits is neither difficult nor difficult. For example, if someone dies with great resentment, there is a certain chance that they will become a vengeful spirit after death. Of course, this chance is very small, otherwise the world would be full of vengeful spirits. Ordinary vengeful spirits can be eliminated by the church by sending a few priests or arbitrators. Given Margaret's status and position, such matters would not trouble her.

And most importantly, Connor noticed that Margaret used the ambiguous word "suspected." Based on his understanding of Margaret, a vengeful spirit either appears or it doesn't. Why would Margaret, contrary to her usual behavior, not even be sure if a vengeful spirit had appeared?

"Could you elaborate?" Although Connor was reluctant to meddle, what Margaret had said had piqued his curiosity.

"A week ago, I noticed that several priests and arbitrators in the church who were skilled at exorcising vengeful spirits went on a secret mission with demonized items that the church specifically used for exorcising vengeful spirits. At first, I didn't pay attention to this because exorcism missions occur every now and then. However, three days ago, I discovered that only half of these people who went on the mission returned, and each of them was injured and immediately isolated by the arbitrators who were loyal to Edel!"

"After discovering this, I initially thought I had found some opportunity, but according to my investigation, these people's actions were not recorded at all, which is a definite violation of church regulations. I haven't made any of this public. According to my informant's report, these people are very likely to have gone to the northern suburbs of Loen, and as for anything else, I have no further leads!" Margaret explained very frankly:
