Wizard Earl

Chapter 541 Is there anything you want to ask me?

At first, Connor was able to endure the stinging sensation without showing any expression, but after more than ten minutes, he could no longer bear it, and his face became contorted with pain.

"Hang in there, you'll be alright soon. You only have 30% of the energy left from the medicinal bath!" Seeing Connor's miserable state, Varga, though she had expected it, still felt a pang of heartache in her eyes as she comforted him.

Although the pain intensified with every second he endured, Connor gritted his teeth and remained silent so as not to worry Varga. Although each second felt like an eternity, the medicinal bath eventually came to an end. After a few minutes, seeing that Connor had absorbed most of the medicinal effects, Varga quickly pulled the temporarily immobile Connor out of the bath and gave him a recovery potion.

Even after leaving the medicinal bath, Connor still felt a lot of pain in his body. However, to his relief, the pain was gradually decreasing. After a while, a glint appeared in Connor's eyes as he recovered from the pain. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the injuries caused by the backlash of magic on his body had healed by nearly half.

"Valga, what kind of potion is this?" Connor, overjoyed, looked up at Valga and asked. What was happening to him now could only be described as a miracle!

After checking Connor's injuries again and confirming the medicine's effectiveness, Varga's face lit up with pride. She gave Connor a mysterious look, then said casually, "It's nothing. I just learned a new treatment method after seeing your magic backlash last time, and it seems to be working quite well!"

After saying that, seeing that Connor had almost recovered, Varga gently pinched the soft flesh on Connor's waist and then said to Connor, "Get into bed!"

Hearing Varga's words, Connor was taken aback at first, then a suggestive expression immediately appeared on his face. Seeing Connor's lustful look, Varga, knowing he had misunderstood her, blushed as well. She spat lightly and said to Connor in an annoyed tone, "What time is it? Still thinking about that? I told you to lie in bed so I could apply ointment. This kind of medicinal bath has a very miraculous effect on treating magical backlash, but it's also very irritating to the body. If you don't treat it in time, it will leave hidden dangers in your body!"

As she spoke, Varga's tone grew increasingly serious, and she seemed very earnest. Connor, realizing the gravity of the situation, was somewhat disappointed, but he stopped causing trouble and obediently lay down on the bed.

Varga took out a blue medicine jar from her spatial ring and extracted a black, unusually fragrant ointment. She then applied it to Connor's skin. As the ointment spread, Connor immediately felt the slight stinging sensation on his skin from the medicinal bath subside. To Connor's even greater surprise, although Varga's technique was somewhat clumsy, it was clearly not an ordinary technique. It fully utilized the effects of the blue ointment. After the treatment, Connor was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.

After applying the essential oil, a somewhat tired Varga looked at Connor, who was thoroughly enjoying himself. As if remembering something, her expression turned melancholic. After a long silence, she looked at Connor and said softly, "Connor, don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

Varga's question caused Connor, who had initially intended to feign ignorance and pretend he hadn't noticed anything, to fall silent. After a moment's hesitation, Connor softly said, "Varga, I believe you wouldn't harm me!"

During the battle with the Kararov couple, Connor, knowing he couldn't withstand the blonde woman's Green Bees, originally planned to let Varga run first while he covered the rear. However, Varga's use of the red liquid from the seeds changed everything. The red liquid wiped out the vast majority of the Green Bees, changing the situation where she and Connor were suppressed by the Kararov couple, and laying the foundation for the final agreement she and Connor later reached with the Kararov couple!

However, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is the red liquid that Varga used to kill the Green Bees with the seeds. This gave Connor a sense of déjà vu. If Connor remembered correctly, several years ago when he was still an intermediate wizard apprentice, he had followed the wealthy Rune merchant Emery, who was connected with the Secret Society, at the Imperial Department Store. Unfortunately, his follower was discovered by Emery. Not only did he fail to find out what Emery was doing, but he also had an encounter with a bronze-masked man!

In that encounter several years ago, both the bronze-masked man and today's Varga used seeds to unleash red liquids with remarkably similar power. Like Varga's red liquid today, the bronze-masked man's liquid was also extremely corrosive, almost failing to withstand the Castilian defensive barrier! The only difference between then and now is that back then, the bronze-masked man first attacked Connor's Castilian protective barrier with vines, only resorting to the red liquid after failing to break through. Today, Varga, however, completely bypassed the vine attack, directly unleashing this highly corrosive red liquid upon the green bees.

When Connor saw Varga unleash the red liquid and kill the Green Bee, he immediately thought of the bronze-masked man from before. Connor had investigated the man's identity carefully back then, but without any results. In addition, since nothing further happened afterward, the matter was naturally dropped, and Connor simply dismissed it as a coincidence.

However, to Connor's utter surprise, he would see the red liquid on Varga's body today. Although Connor was reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that all the evidence in his hands pointed to Varga. The bronze-masked man who had fought a fierce battle with him was very likely the little woman in front of him who was so considerate and loyal to him!

Besides the seed that burst out with red liquid, Connor had two other pieces of evidence. First, he had confirmed that Mr. Emery was related to the Secret Society, and that he might even be the Secret Society's mole in Rune. At that time, Varga had also been personally lured into the Secret Society by him. Furthermore, Varga and the bronze-masked man had the same cultivation level at the time, both being intermediate wizard apprentices!
