Wizard Earl

Chapter 504 Intelligence!

"Use magical beasts to test the medicine?" Upon hearing Connor's answer, Margaret's expression changed, as if she was very surprised by Connor's answer.

Connor nodded emphatically, indicating that Margaret hadn't misheard; he did indeed want to use magical beasts to test the medicine.

After processing the shock Connor had given her, Margaret thought for a moment and then pressed Connor for confirmation, "Connor, is that potion you're testing for humans or magical beasts?"

"It's for humans! An ancient Byzantine potion. Because it's so old, although it's been prepared according to the pharmacy's instructions, we're not sure if it will still work for us, so we want to test it!" To help Margaret better solve his problem, Connor thought for a moment and decided to reveal more information to Margaret.

Hearing Connor utter the word "we" undoubtedly caught Margaret's attention. As an alchemist, Connor's constant supply of potions had always intrigued her. Furthermore, during their several joint battles, Connor had given her a few potions, and knowing the quality of his potions, Margaret had always suspected that Connor had a highly skilled apothecary providing him with potions. Now, Connor's slip of the tongue, using "we," only strengthened Margaret's suspicions.

A woman's intuition told Margaret that the pharmacist beside Connor was very likely a woman, and a very beautiful one at that. Furthermore, the relationship between this beautiful woman and Connor was definitely not ordinary. Thinking of this, Margaret couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

"Are you an idiot?! Why would you use a magical beast to test a human-grade potion?" Although she felt uncomfortable inside, Margaret, in order to avoid Connor discovering her inner thoughts, calmly and casually asked in return:

"I know that using magical beasts to test potions for humans isn't a good idea, but this potion is for wizards. Where am I supposed to find a few wizards willing to test it on me?" Connor, completely oblivious to Margaret's unusual behavior, said with a wry smile.

Hearing Connor's complaints, Margaret chuckled but didn't answer his question directly. Instead, she took out a very exquisite gold ring with a pale yellow gemstone set in it, along with a briefcase, from her spatial ring and handed them to Connor, saying:

"This ring is my only defensive enchanted item. When I return from the Heart of the Storm in three months, you absolutely must see it repaired, Connor. Also, the things in the briefcase are alchemy materials you might need; knowing your habits, I added quite a lot!"

Taking the briefcase and Mallorca ring from Margaret, Connor put them back into his spatial ring and said to Margaret in a serious tone, "Don't worry, if I can't repair your Mallorca ring, I'll make you a new one, but of course you'll have to provide the materials yourself."

Margaret rolled her eyes at Connor, her smile fading. After carefully choosing her words, she said to Connor, "Connor, you've probably heard the rumors about the Fatica Cathedral, haven't you?"

When Margaret mentioned the rumors about the Faticalo Church, Connor paused for a moment, then nodded at Margaret as if he understood something.

"The rumors are true. There is indeed a secret prison for dark wizards at the Faticalo Church. It holds novice wizard apprentices captured by the church. Because the secret prison has limited space, the church executes a few people every now and then. Tomorrow is the day the church will execute a prisoner. The execution will take place at 10:00 AM at the Casano Manor in the South Loen District, and will be carried out by two novice wizard apprentice arbitrators," Margaret explained in a low voice.

"Margaret, do you mean you want me to storm the execution ground?" Connor frowned and asked Margaret after considering the information she had provided.

"Connor, one thing you might not know is that there are two secret prisons in the Church of Loen. One is the dark wizard Faticalo is in charge of guarding junior wizard apprentices, while intermediate and advanced wizard apprentices are imprisoned in the dungeon below the Storm Cathedral. To the church, Faticalo only imprisons some small fry. If they weren't still of some value to the church, they would have been killed long ago."

"At Casano Manor, they'll be burned at the stake. After that, their remaining G-ash will be transported to the nearest junkyard. As long as you, Connor, do a good job and don't reveal too much strength, and don't take out the two executioners, there shouldn't be any major problems. Right now, the Church of Loen is embroiled in internal power struggles, with Edel and Longley locked in a fierce battle. Nobody has the time or inclination to care about the life or death of a mere lackey!" Margaret said nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders.

"I've told you everything I need to tell you. Whether you go or not is up to you, Connor!" Margaret said with a smile. After speaking, she looked deeply into Connor's eyes, which were as clear as autumn water. Then, to Connor's surprise, Margaret suddenly leaned in and gently kissed his lips with her warm, fragrant tongue. Before Connor could react, Margaret had already said, "Bye-bye, see you in three months!" Then, with a light laugh, she left the warehouse and disappeared into the dark night of Rune.

Under the bright moonlight, Connor, still standing in the warehouse, savored the lingering fragrance of Margaret. He gently touched his lips, which had just been kissed by Margaret's cherry lips, then shook his head with a wry smile before disappearing into the warehouse in a flash.

At 9:58 a.m. the next day, in a secluded corner of the streets of Casano Manor in the South District of Rune, Connor, wearing a top hat, secretly observed that, just as Margaret had said, a black carriage stopped in front of Casano Manor two hundred meters away from him. A strong young man stepped down from the carriage and began to look around.

In terms of both public security and the economic situation of its residents, the South Rune district is undoubtedly significantly different from the other three districts. However, the area near Casano Manor is relatively safe, perhaps because it is home to the only Storm Church in the South Rune district. As a result, the streets in front of Casano Manor are quite quiet.
