Wizard Earl

Chapter 560 Letters

After carefully reading through Margaret's letter, Connor's face showed a strange expression. Although Varga did not explicitly state in the letter where they used to meet, he naturally knew that this so-called "old place" referred to the Storm Church safe house, which Margaret had taken him to several times.

Although Margaret didn't say why she wanted to meet him at their usual spot or what they wanted to talk about, Connor felt that Margaret's early return from the Heart of Storms to Rune wasn't simply because her training in the Heart of Storms was better than expected, as Margaret's secret letter had stated. Based on Connor's understanding of Margaret, her early return must be related to what she wanted to tell him.

However, no matter what, Margaret's early return is very good news for me. With Margaret around, I no longer need to struggle with choosing between Martina and Varga as my helper!

Putting down the secret letter Margaret had given him, Connor picked up the one Martina had given him. If he was curious about the contents of Margaret's letter, then he was extremely eager to know what Martina's letter contained.

Martina's previous secret letter freed him from a completely passive situation where he knew nothing. He learned that the Celta Cult was secretly plotting against him, as well as the Celta Cult's manpower situation in Rune. Of course, most importantly, he also learned about Old Victor's and the Secret Society's attitude towards the Celta Cult's troublesome actions. All of this made Connor no longer completely clueless and reliant on guesswork when facing his opponents.

With such a good start as the first secret letter, Connor naturally had reason to look forward to the contents of Martina's next secret letter even more. Perhaps this letter could reveal the identities of the man and woman who appeared in the Sals factory area today.

Because his correspondence with Martina was infrequent, Connor couldn't immediately decipher the true content of Martina's secret letter as he could with Margaret's. After finding the codebook, Connor spent more than ten minutes translating the letter's true contents.

After carefully scanning the contents of the secret letter, Connor's face lit up with delight. Martina hadn't disappointed him again. His decision to let Martina go against the majority opinion at the Zaka textile factory had indeed been a wise one; otherwise, where would he get all this information now?

The first paragraph of Martina's secret letter tells Connor that the Secret Society has discovered two more figures in Rune that appear to be Celta wizards. These two are Wanda, a senior wizard apprentice, and Perrin. Reliable sources say that these three people were present at the explosion site—the southern suburbs of Rune—on the night of the explosion that occurred during leveling up.

"The alchemical bomb exploded?"

Connor was startled upon seeing the word. At the time of the explosion, he was focused on recovering from his injuries in the safe house on Ramsey Street and hadn't felt anything happen. He only learned about the explosion the next morning from the "Rune Morning Post" delivered by the messenger. However, it was completely different from the alchemical bomb Martina was talking about now. The "Rune Morning Post" described the explosion as a chemical plant explosion caused by worker error, and the fire and damage caused by the explosion were brought under control by the Rune City Hall immediately!

At the time, Connor didn't think much about the explosion, because chemical plants were still very dangerous in this era. Not to mention the entire Kaman Empire, just in the Rune region alone, there were explosions every year. However, the profits from chemical plants were indeed very large, so the construction of chemical plants continued.

So at the time, Kang An didn't think much about the explosion, but now that he thinks about it, it was another joint operation by the church and the city hall to prevent public panic.

As for Wanda and Perrin, the two high-ranking Celta Cult apprentices mentioned by Martina in her secret letter, although Martina did not provide more information about them in the letter, their names are typical of men and women from the southern region of the Kaman Empire. Combined with the cultivation level of the man and woman who appeared in the Cels factory area today, and the name Sandro mentioned in their conversation, Connor felt that there was a high possibility that the man and woman were Wanda and Perrin, the high-ranking Celta Cult apprentices mentioned by Martina in her secret letter.

In the second part of the secret letter, Martina revealed even more explosive information to Connor: Old Victor, in order to enable these three Celta Vigo members to deal with Connor so that he could sit back and watch them fight, obstructed the Storm Church's pursuit of the three and did not rule out secretly providing them with assistance, making these three high-ranking Celta Vigo wizard apprentices his pawns to deal with Connor!

After reading the message, Connor's lips curled into a cold smile. Although Martina did not say in her letter what method Old Victor used to thwart the church arbitrators' pursuit, Connor, who knew about the relationship between Bishop Edel of the Church of Rune Storm and the secret society, naturally understood the reason behind it!

Now that old Victor has made his move, let's see who's the last one standing! Thinking this, Connor's eyes flashed with murderous intent!

The third and final message in the secret letter, unlike the first two, was not from Martina to Connor, but from Martina to Margaret. Martina asked Connor to tell Margaret that Old Victor already knew about her early return to Rune, and warned Margaret to be careful. Since what happened last time, Old Victor harbored resentment towards her, and it was possible that he would personally take action against Margaret!

Upon seeing this, Connor's heart tightened, and he became somewhat worried about Margaret. Although Connor considered himself a "master" among advanced wizarding apprentices and could even kill ordinary advanced wizarding apprentices, he truly felt that if he were to face old Victor one-on-one, he would only be able to barely keep his life in old Victor's hands, and would hardly pose any significant threat to him!

If old Victor were truly going to take action against Margaret personally, then Margaret's whereabouts would be nowhere to be hidden in his eyes. After all, Archbishop Edel of the Storm Church was a member of the Secret Society. If Margaret was unaware of this, and old Victor were to launch a calculated yet unexpected attack, she could be in real danger...
