Wizard Earl

Chapter 302 The Letter from Margaret

If things are really as Connor guessed, it means that although Connor tried his best to manipulate the array yesterday to cover up the energy fluctuations caused by Varga and Little Blood Tiger forming an equal partnership contract, his efforts ultimately failed. The energy fluctuations in the safe house were still discovered by someone with ulterior motives, and last night, someone went to the abandoned safe house he had taken out and triggered the gray crystal that Connor had placed there, causing the explosion.

Thinking of this, Connor couldn't help but feel secretly relieved. Luckily, he had foreseen this yesterday and decisively destroyed the safe house. He had meticulously erased all traces of himself from it. Now that the gray crystals had been triggered, causing the explosion, everything was foolproof. Even if there were any traces in the safe house that he hadn't discovered, they would naturally be gone with the explosion...

Although he felt somewhat relieved, Connor still felt a chill run down his spine. Although the magic circle he controlled when Varga and the little blood tiger formed their contract hadn't completely concealed the energy fluctuations, causing some leakage, Connor was confident that even if the magic circle hadn't completely concealed the energy fluctuations caused by the contract, the leaked energy wouldn't be much—it would be extremely small. Even a wizard wouldn't notice it without careful observation. But the fact was, his safe house was definitely discovered because of the energy leak.

If someone had discovered his safe house earlier, they would definitely be lying in wait there. And if someone were to lie in wait there to monitor him, Connor, as a psychic wizard, would have considerable mental power and intuition. Even a high-level wizard apprentice couldn't do it without Connor noticing. Only a full-fledged wizard could accomplish this!

If it were a formal wizard, given their mental strength, even if they were careless, they would definitely be able to discover the explosive gray crystal that the wizard had hidden in the safe house the moment they entered it, and then control the explosive gray crystal, so the house would not explode!

Connor felt that in Rune, it was impossible to just storm into a place with a slight abnormal energy fluctuation. Based on his understanding of the old men in the Rune Metropolitan Police Department, they would never do such a thing. The dark wizards hiding in the shadows would not be so arrogant either. Only the fanatical followers of the Storm Goddess in the Storm Church would be so eager to wipe out all the dark wizards!

Realizing this, Connor's expression instantly turned serious. The fact that the Storm Church had discovered such a small energy leak was unbelievable, but the facts were right in front of Connor.

"Sigh..." Connor sighed softly and shook his head slightly. Although he didn't know how the Storm Church had managed to do it, it seemed that he should be more careful in his actions in Rune in the future. The Storm Church was practically everywhere in Rune.

Just as Connor was lamenting Rune's hardships, his expression suddenly shifted. His mental energy sensed the young postman responsible for their area dropping a letter into the mailbox in front of his apartment building…

Connor retrieved the mailed letter from his mailbox and opened it in his apartment.

"Dear Sir, I apologize for the intrusion in sending you this letter. We are Lawson's Cafe, a cafe that has been open for three years. We are located at No. 67, Karabach Street, East District... It would be our honor if you could come to visit us!"

Judging from the contents of the letter, it was no different from the promotional emails that were frequently sent to Connor's apartment mailbox. However, after unfolding the letter, Connor read the few hundred words of it very carefully, twice! After reading it, Connor smiled and shook his head, and a flame appeared on his fingertip, turning the letter into ashes.

The last time Connor saw Margaret, besides informing her that the Secret Service was looking for her and Margaret promising to reduce contact with him, Connor and Margaret also reached an agreement on a method of communication. Margaret could contact Connor using this method whenever she felt safe. The letter Connor just burned was precisely this method of communication, meaning that the existence of this letter implied that Margaret believed she was safe. Connor trusted his partner's judgment.

The Lawson's Café mentioned in the letter is real and has indeed been established for three years, just as the letter claims. The contents of the letter are basically the same as those used to promote products in luxury apartments in the East District. Anyone who gets their hands on this letter will not notice anything different. However, only Connor and Margaret, through their established communication method, can know the true contents of the letter.

"11 p.m. the day after tomorrow, at the Continasa Manor in the northern suburbs of Luen!" This was the real content of the letter Margaret mailed to Connor!

After understanding the contents of the letter, Connor no longer focused on the meeting with Margaret the day after tomorrow, but instead turned his attention to the alchemical golem. Regarding the problem of the energy consumption that drives the alchemical golem, which had been troubling Connor for some time, Connor seemed to have a new idea in his recent research, and he was eager to turn his ideas into reality!

At 10:30 the day after tomorrow, under the bright moonlight, Connor, with a slightly lingering look on his face, wrapped in his usual black trench coat, pushed open the door of his apartment and walked out. He took out his pocket watch, checked it, and then breathed a sigh of relief. There was still half an hour until his agreed meeting with Margaret at 6:00, and at his fastest speed, he could reach the Continassa estate on the outskirts of the city in just twenty minutes.

For the past two days, Connor has devoted all his energy to researching a method to reduce the consumption of magic stones that drive alchemical golems, and hasn't left his apartment for even a moment.
