Wizard Earl

Chapter 251 Varga and Victor

Varga's gaze swept over the traces of the battle left in the room, then fell on Ceballos, who was lying on the ground. A complex look of disgust and pity appeared in her eyes. Then she walked to the window and locked her gaze on a spot in the darkness, the very spot where Margaret had just left.

At this point, only about a minute had passed since Margaret left. If Margaret had chosen to warn him and he had given chase, the chances of him catching up with Margaret would have been quite high. However, he did not do that. Instead, he returned to his room, stayed quietly for another minute, and then took out a small bell from his spatial ring and gently shook it.

The small bell that was being shaken did not make any sound, but just over ten seconds later, five wizards dressed in black robes rushed into the room where only Varga and Ceballos had been. Each of these five wizards had the cultivation of an intermediate wizard apprentice, and they all had cold expressions and fierce auras, clearly not to be trifled with.

Seeing these people enter, before they could speak, Varga said in a deep voice, "Quickly inform Butler Victor that outsiders have broken into the hospital!"

Upon hearing Varga's words, the five black-robed wizards, whose expressions had been cold, immediately showed a hint of seriousness. After exchanging glances, one of the black-robed wizards produced a communication paper, quickly wrote down a message, and the paper immediately lit up with a white light, transmitting the message.

Victor arrived quickly; only five minutes had passed between sending the message and his arrival in the room.

As soon as Victor entered the room, his gaze swept over the faces of everyone present. The five black-robed wizards lowered their heads respectfully, not daring to look Victor in the eye, while Varga remained completely unmoved by Victor's gaze.

Victor wasted no time. As he examined Ceballos lying on the ground, he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"Seven minutes ago, I returned from the lab to pick up some things from the pharmacy. I happened to be passing by here when I sensed energy fluctuations in Dr. Ceballos's office, so I rushed in and found Dr. Ceballos in this state. A woman was interrogating him. In desperation, I fought with this witch. Neither of us could defeat the other, and then the witch, seeing the situation was unfavorable, fled..."

"For safety's sake, I didn't follow. I've already checked Ceballos's condition; he was likely tricked into taking a truth serum. However, judging from the amount of the drug remaining in his body, I arrived in time. That witch has probably only just begun her interrogation!" Varga said calmly.

After listening to Varga's account, Victor finished examining Ceballos, who was lying on the ground. He took out a small medicine bottle from his spatial ring, poured out a small pill, and gave it to Ceballos. Then he carefully examined the signs of battle in the room. Finally, he looked coldly at the five black-robed wizards who kept their heads down and dared not raise them.

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!" Butler Victor cursed in a deep voice, his face ashen, his voice clearly revealing boundless rage!

The five black-robed wizards who were being scolded immediately lowered their heads even further, not daring to utter any rebuttal or defense!

"We need manpower right now. Each of you five will receive ten lashes for now. We'll settle accounts with you after this is over!" Victor's cold gaze swept over the five men as he spoke in a sinister tone.

Upon hearing the words "flogging," the five black-robed wizards, whose faces were as cold and stern as ice, immediately showed a bitter expression. However, none of them dared to resist Victor's punishment, and they all nodded in unison, saying, "Yes!"

Pointing his finger at Ceballos on the ground, Victor's eyes flashed with disdain as he said, "Take this guy back to the safe house and keep a close watch on him until I get back!"

A moment later, five black-robed wizards carried the unconscious Ceballos out of the room, leaving only Victor and Varga inside.

"What were the distinguishing features of the wizard who infiltrated?" Victor asked seriously after taking a deep look.

Upon hearing Victor's question, Varga's lips curled into a half-smile. She said calmly, "Butler Victor, didn't you just look around here? With your abilities, shouldn't you know what's going on?"

Ignoring Varga's subtle taunt, Victor coldly asked, "I'll ask you one more time, what were the characteristics of the intruder you fought?"

"Peak intermediate wizard apprenticeship, blood magic, the face is definitely not a real face!" Faced with Victor's continued questioning, Varga could only tell the truth.

Victor showed no surprise at Varga's three points. After a moment of silence, he instructed Varga, "Gulsi won't be back for another month. Stop the evolution and processing of that thing. Leave the rest to me!"

"Stop the purification and processing of that stuff! I can't make that decision without the teacher here!" Varga immediately retorted to Victor's request.

"I will consult the professor!" Before Varga's voice had even fully faded, Victor immediately said in a deep voice, his aged tone full of displeasure.

"Very well, having received the professor's orders, I will cease the purification and processing of that substance!" Varga ignored the displeasure in Victor's voice and said calmly.

After receiving Varga's reply, Victor turned and left. However, he stopped at the door and paused before saying, "Varga, I know you're unhappy with me, but I'm telling you you need time. I hope you don't make the wrong choice!"

Without waiting for Varga's reply, Victor walked out of the room, leaving Varga alone. A mocking smile appeared on her delicate face.

In the alchemy workshop on the second floor of Connor's apartment at 16 Land Street, East Loen, Connor was busily working. Inside his alchemy furnace, a glass-like object was being continuously refined by the mental fire controlled by Connor. Impurities invisible to the naked eye on the glass ball were being peeled away under the refining power of the mental fire, making the entire glass ball appear more rounded and refined!
