Wizard Earl

Chapter 372 Varga's Decision

"Varga, what brings you here?" Connor led the "uninvited guest" who had quietly sneaked into his apartment's backyard into the apartment. Looking at Varga, dressed in tight-fitting black clothes and with a somber expression, Connor grasped Varga's cold little hand and asked with concern:

To reduce the risk of exposure, he and Varga had an agreement that unless it was absolutely necessary or an emergency, they would use secret emails to arrange a time to meet at the safe house. Now, Varga came directly to his apartment, which clearly indicates that Varga was in a very urgent situation.

"Connor, you've succeeded in breaking through?" Feeling the warmth of Connor's palm, Varga obediently leaned against Connor's chest. However, after only about ten seconds, Varga seemed to realize something and raised her head, her beautiful eyes staring intently at Connor's face as if she had discovered a new continent.

Seeing that Varga had noticed the change in his cultivation level, Connor smiled and nodded emphatically, not hiding it from Varga's gaze, indicating that Varga was right and that he had indeed become an advanced wizard apprentice!

Upon receiving Connor's affirmative reply, Varga, who had been looking worried, suddenly became excited and kissed Connor on the lips.

The two shared a long, S-shaped kiss, only stopping when they felt a little suffocated and leaning back on the sofa.

Holding the petite Varga in his arms, Connor looked into her eyes and asked with concern, "What happened?"

Under Connor's gaze, Varga lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said to Connor, "Connor, I need you to join me in killing someone!"

"Kill whom?" Hearing Varga ask him to join forces with her to kill someone, Connor, though puzzled, answered without hesitation:

Upon hearing Connor's words, Varga fell silent again. After a long while, she sighed softly, raised her head to meet Connor's determined gaze, and parted her cherry lips to utter a name: "Gulsi!"

Upon hearing that Varga wanted him to help her kill her teacher, Connor's mind went blank for a moment. However, he took a deep breath, suppressing his shock and confusion about why Varga would want to kill his teacher, and continued in a low voice, "When? Where?"

Seeing how much Connor trusted her and agreed to help her kill her teacher without asking why, a touch of emotion appeared in Varga's eyes.

Instead of answering Connor's question directly, she hugged him tightly, pressing her pretty face against his chest. Listening to the rapid heartbeat within him, she whispered, "Remember the Spiritual Spring Potion? Last time, although I discovered that the Spiritual Spring Potion could increase the probability of successful breakthroughs so much by actually overdrawing one's life force, there were still some effects of the potion that I didn't understand. So I wanted to continue my secret research using the hospital's equipment, but all of this was discovered by the teacher..."

Upon hearing this, Connor felt a chill run down his spine. He never imagined that Varga's desire to kill his teacher was related to the Spirit Spring Potion.

What is known now is that the old Victor of the secret society hid the side effect of the Spirit Spring Potion from him, which comes at the cost of his life force, and that the true effect of the Spirit Spring Potion can increase the success rate of breaking through to become a high-level wizard by 50% to 70%, far exceeding the 30% effect that the old Victor told him about!

Putting aside whether the Spirit Spring has any other unknown effects, just looking at these two points, there must be something wrong with the Spirit Spring potion. Gulsi knows that Varga is secretly helping her research the true effects of the Spirit Spring potion. Could it be that Gulsi threatened Varga to report her to the Secret Society, so Varga wants to silence Gulsi in order to unite with her?

Thinking of this, Connor's eyes narrowed, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. If that was really the case, then even if Varga tried to stop him, he would still get rid of Gulsi, let alone Varga joining forces with him to kill Gulsi.

"Professor Gulsi threatened me. If she tells the Secret Society about this, they will either kill me or erase my memories. The only way to prevent her from reporting me is for me to marry her own son, Ceballos!" Connor's guess was spot on. Varga continued, nestled in Connor's arms:

Connor, who had already made up his mind to kill Gulsi, was filled with even more anger when he heard that Gulsi dared to set his sights on Varga.

"Varga, do you have a plan to kill Gulsi?" Connor asked Varga in a low voice, his head bowed.

Varga shook her head slightly and said softly, "All I know right now is that we have to kill the teacher to silence him. Otherwise, if the Secret Society finds out that I'm secretly researching the effects of the Spiritual Spring, Connor and I will both be in trouble!"

Hearing Varga say this, Connor gently patted her back, comforting her, and said, "Don't rush, tell me the details of what happened!"

"I don't know if Professor Gulsi discovered my research on the Spirit Spring a long time ago, or if she only discovered it recently by chance. Three days ago, when I was still in the lab testing and analyzing the Spirit Spring potion, she came out and confronted me on the spot, forcing me to marry her son, Ceballos!"

"Ceballos was attacked a few days ago and suffered very serious injuries. The reason why Teacher Gulsi has been entrusting me with all the potion-making tasks assigned by the secret society is because she is now focusing all her time and energy on treating her son Ceballos. Ceballos' injuries are very serious, and Teacher Gulsi has gone through countless hardships to pull him back from the brink of death. However, it will be extremely difficult for Ceballos to fully recover. But Teacher Gulsi said that she has a secret method that can do this..." At this point, Varga, who was nestled in Connor's arms, paused, a blush creeping onto her pretty face. After a long while, under Connor's questioning gaze, she continued very softly:

"The secret method that Master Gulsi mentioned is a Byzantine-era auxiliary cultivation method. This method requires a female apothecary and Ceballos to meditate and cultivate together while they are engaged in 'that kind of act.' Originally, this method was intended for couples to practice together to promote cultivation progress, but according to the records, it can also treat some rare injuries, including the one Ceballos suffered!"
