Wizard Earl

Chapter 388 See you at the safe house

During the battle with Gulsi that day, although Gulsi's words to sow discord between himself and Varga were malicious, the content of his words may not necessarily be false!

When Connor received the order to hunt down Margaret from his mentor Reyes, he was shocked and curious about the reason for hunting down Margaret for the Secret Society. Dr. Gulsey's ill-intentioned words completely solved the mystery in Connor's mind!

Margaret actually managed to sneak into Dr. Gulsi's private hospital!

During his previous interactions with Varga, Connor didn't directly ask what Dr. Gulsi's private hospital did within the Secret Society. However, having known each other for so long and having secretly investigated Dr. Gulsi's private hospital before, Connor knew a little about it. That place was one of the Secret Society's main sources for producing potions. Because producing potions required large-scale procurement of medicinal materials, it was necessary to operate in a reasonable and inconspicuous way, and the hospital was obviously the best choice.

The Secret Society has devoted unimaginable effort and resources to building the hospital. Under Dr. Gulsi's leadership, the successfully built hospital provides the Secret Society with hundreds of potions every year. Therefore, the importance of Dr. Gulsi's private hospital to the Secret Society is self-evident. Margaret's involvement with the hospital is clearly touching the tail of the Secret Society, a tiger that will prey on anyone who dares to bite. It is only because the Secret Society does not yet know the true identity of Margaret's Storm Church that, otherwise, to ensure safety, the Secret Society might very well close Dr. Gulsi's private hospital and seek another place to refine potions.

After returning to his apartment injured that day, Connor, enraged by Varga's concealment, initially wanted to directly confront Margaret and inquire about the information Dr. Gulsi had mentioned. However, after calming down, Connor abandoned this plan.

Perhaps Margaret has already guessed that he is a member of the Secret Society, but so far the two of them have tacitly broken this balance. If he were to find Margaret because of this issue, he would have to be prepared to confront her about the Secret Society. And clearly, Connor himself is conflicted about the Secret Society.

And most importantly, what difference does it make if I find out the answer from Margaret? No matter what the process was, the result is still the same: Ceballos's injuries were caused by Varga, and Varga's reason for seeking out her mentor, Gulsi, to kill her wasn't just because, as Varga said, Dr. Gulsi knew about my and Varga's secret research on the "Mental Spring" potion, or even just about the "Mental Spring" potion itself—it was simply a pretext!

Varga might want to kill Gulsi for other reasons she doesn't know! That's all possible!

The worst possibility is that Varga is using him for everything, and that Varga is now Reyes's person, and is only with him to help Reyes achieve his ulterior motives. Although Connor himself thinks this possibility is impossible, he has to consider it!

As Connor drew back the expensive silk curtains in the apartment lobby, the warm morning sunlight immediately shone on him as he stood by the window. Feeling the warmth of the sunlight on his skin, Connor exhaled a long breath.

The day after receiving the Candice Energy Potion, Connor, who had made preparations, began to take the potion to heal his injuries. To Connor's surprise, the renowned Candice Energy Potion lived up to its reputation, and its healing effect was even better than he had expected!

One bottle of Candice Energy Potion alleviated most of the injuries caused by the energy backlash on his body. Now, even if he were to engage in magical combat, as long as he didn't get injured again, the injuries from the energy backlash wouldn't worsen. According to Connor's estimation, he might not even need a third bottle of Candice Energy Potion for his energy backlash injuries to be completely healed.

"Assist chip, calculate how much my mana purity has increased since I took the Candice Energy Potion?" Leaning back on the sofa in his apartment, Connor squinted as he swirled the Romano Conti in his glass, silently commanding the assist chip in his mind.

"Beep! In accordance with the subject's will, mission established! Calculating, estimated completion time 15 seconds... Calculation complete. According to the chip's calculations, the subject's mana accuracy has increased by 8.39 percent since consuming the Candice Energy Potion!"

Hearing the cool female voice from the auxiliary chip in his mind, Connor felt slightly disappointed. According to the records, some wizards' mana purity increased by more than 30% when they took the Candice Energy Potion for the first time. He didn't expect that it would be less than 10% for him!

However, upon further reflection, Connor understood. He was practicing the Abyss Secret, a high-level meditation technique rarely seen in the wizarding world. The mental and magical power he cultivated was already above that of ordinary wizards of the same level. According to the records, the purity of magical power increased by taking the Candice potion for the first time was not constant, but varied depending on the individual wizard's condition.

Some wizards, for various reasons, don't naturally possess very pure magical power. Therefore, the Candice Energy Potion's effect of increasing magical power purity is naturally quite significant for them. However, for wizards like him, who cultivate advanced meditation techniques or for other reasons, whose magical power purity is already quite good, the effect of the Candice Energy Potion on the first use is naturally not very noticeable. After all, reaching even the highest level is extremely difficult!

Connor retrieved all five letters from his mailbox as he left the apartment. Three days had passed since he gave Margaret the list of materials for making the alchemical bomb, and according to Margaret's usual practice of sending him replies about where to pick up the materials, they should have arrived by now.

As Connor opened the five letters one by one, his eyes fell on one that seemed to be a letter recruiting members for a salon, and a complex look immediately appeared in his eyes.

Although he didn't find Margaret's letter among the five letters, he did find this one. The contents of this letter were written in a secret code known only to him and Varga. The letter seemed to contain hundreds of words introducing how high-class he was, but the real content was only six words: "See you at the safe house tomorrow!"
