Wizard Earl

Chapter 540 Healing Wounds

Sensing the question in Varga's eyes, and knowing perfectly well what she was thinking, Connor felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He didn't answer Varga, but instead looked at Kararov and said calmly, "Can we begin to draw up the contract?"

Half an hour later, in the grove, Leconnor and Varga stood side by side, gazing into the distance. In their view, the middle-aged, portly man, Kararov, and the blonde woman who had been leaving had become two small black dots. Just now, they had finally completed all their oaths at the Eye of Arbitration. Kararov had given Varga everything that was due, and promised to come to Rune in six months to collect the Salerin potion.

As the couple gradually disappeared from sight, Varga turned her gaze to Connor, looking utterly bewildered and hesitant.

Turning to look at Varga, Connor's eyes were filled with complex emotions. A few seconds later, under Varga's shocked gaze, Connor's previously normal face instantly turned deathly pale, and his breath became extremely weak. If it weren't for the support of the Castia Staff, Connor would have collapsed to the ground.

Seeing Connor like this, Varga quickly pulled him close, placing a delicate hand on his chest to check him over. Tears welled in her beautiful eyes with worry as she said in a trembling voice, "Connor, don't scare me!"

"Don't worry, it's just a bit of magic backlash!" Leaning against Varga and smelling her familiar scent, Connor said in a low voice. However, his voice was very weak at this moment, a complete opposite of the one he had just faced when he risked everything against Kararov.

Connor was very clear about the injuries he was currently facing. He had been an advanced wizard apprentice for several decades less than Kararov. Although he was superior to Kararov in terms of mental strength because mental wizards were good at mental power, he was still quite far behind Kararov in terms of the depth of his magical cultivation.

After a fierce battle, although Kararov's mana output was slightly higher than Connor's, both Kararov, with their combined strength, felt their mana running low and were almost trapped and killed by Connor within the Castilian magic circle. Connor, whose mana cultivation was inherently inferior to Kararov's, was in an even worse situation. In fact, until the very end, Connor was constantly enduring the blow, teetering on the edge of mana backlash. This is the real reason why, when the final mental shock truly injured Kararov, and Varga asked him whether they should press their advantage and finish off Kararov and the blond-haired Shen, Connor ignored her.

In fact, at that time, Connor was already at his limit and was in no better condition than Kararov, who had suffered a mental shock. He did that only to prevent Kararov from discovering his condition, and he was just putting on a brave face.

Now that Kararov was gone, Connor naturally stopped trying to hold on. The strength he had mustered dissipated, and he naturally felt weak.

After carefully examining Connor's body and confirming that he had only suffered from a backlash of magic, the fear on Varga's tear-streaked face eased slightly. A backlash of magic, while not a major injury, was not minor either. Severe cases could lead to death or a drop in cultivation level. However, if you receive proper treatment within the golden period of one day after suffering a backlash, your injury will be greatly reduced. Furthermore, if a pharmacist can provide excellent post-injury recovery treatment, the backlash might not even leave any lasting effects!

Honestly, the biggest reason Connor dares to be so reckless and arrogant, risking the backlash of his current magical power, is because of Varga's existence. Varga will make it easier for him to recover from his injuries.

"This isn't the first time you've suffered a backlash from your magic. If it happens again, I won't be able to help you!" After taking out several potions from her spatial ring and giving them to Connor, Varga said to him with a hint of reproach:

After drinking the potion and recovering somewhat, Connor smiled and nodded, then took out a handkerchief and handed it to Varga.

Varga reluctantly accepted the handkerchief Connor offered, wiped the tears from her face, and carefully placed it back into her spatial ring. She then looked at Connor and asked, "Should I get you a carriage? I'm going to use a few more tricks on you when we get back to the safe house!"

Although Varga's tone was strained and resentful at the end, her eyes were filled with heartache.

"I'm not that badly injured yet!" Connor shook his head, took a deep breath, and then swayed as he straightened up.

Although she still wanted to find a carriage for Connor, Varga ultimately gave up on her plan after seeing the determination on Connor's angular face.

An hour later, Connor and Varga returned to their safe house in the city of Rune. As soon as they got back, Varga led Connor to the bathroom, where there was a large bathtub that was originally used by Connor and Varga for bathing, but now it had a new purpose!

After settling Connor in, Varga got busy. First, she filled the bathtub with water, then heated it using fire magic. Once the water was hot, Varga began taking out various bottles and jars from her spatial ring. She then meticulously and precisely determined the dosages, adding various powders, potions, and magical substances, some familiar and some unfamiliar to Connor, into the hot water. To ensure that all of these substances would dissolve in the hot water and be absorbed by Connor, Varga used magic to reheat the water in the bathtub a second time.

Once she was sure the medicinal bath was ready, Varga waved to Connor, who, who was already prepared, immediately entered the bathtub.

As soon as he entered the bathtub, Connor felt a slight burning sensation all over his skin. At the same time, the energy from the medicinal bath seeped into Connor's body through his pores.

"Activate the meditation technique to digest the energy in the potion!" Varga nodded in satisfaction as she watched Connor begin to absorb the energy in the medicinal bath, then guided Connor to his next move.

Connor obediently accepted Varga's instructions and began practicing the Abyss Secret Technique in the medicinal bath. However, as the Abyss Secret Technique was activated, Connor suddenly felt that the speed at which he absorbed the energy in the medicinal bath had increased significantly, but this also brought some stinging sensation to his pores.
