Wizard Earl

Chapter 634 Letter

After returning to his Ferguson apartment, Connor, though he hadn't received any secret messages from anyone, was still impatient and sent secret messages to both Martina and Margaret, inquiring about Varga's situation. In order to receive replies from Martina and Margaret as soon as possible, Connor did not return to the safe house but stayed in his Ferguson apartment.

While waiting for news, Connor naturally didn't slack off in his cultivation. Moreover, after his battle with Tusam, Connor seemed to have some unexpected joy; some of his previous cultivation bottlenecks had eased this time. Sensing this, Connor hesitated. From a cultivation perspective, returning to the safe house to cultivate would undoubtedly be safer for him, allowing him to use more auxiliary cultivation techniques and be more unrestrained. However, in order to know about Varga as soon as possible, Connor chose to stay in Ferguson's apartment to cultivate!

As time passed, the sound of the tides emanating from Connor grew louder and clearer. Along with this sound, complex blue-black restrictive runes appeared on the four walls of the bedroom, blocking the sound of the tides from leaking out of the room.

These blue-black restrictive runes are Connor's latest alchemical achievement, and also the source of his confidence to continue his full-fledged cultivation even knowing that the Eye of the Storm is monitoring energy fluctuations on Rand Street. These runes will perfectly shield all the sounds and energy fluctuations generated by Connor's cultivation within the room, preventing the Eye of the Storm from sensing anything unusual in Ferguson's apartment.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud sounded from Connor's body, and with that thud, the tidal sounds around him immediately ceased. A few seconds later, Connor, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, gradually came to an end and awoke. Opening his eyes, a faint smile appeared on Connor's angular face. The muffled thud made Connor feel as if a cage imposed upon him had been broken, and he felt completely refreshed.

Connor had been a senior wizard apprentice for quite some time, and his cultivation had been steadily progressing. He had been preparing to break through to become a full wizard, but only just now did he realize that he had truly reached the peak of the senior wizard apprentice realm. Before, he had only reached the standard of the senior wizard apprentice in terms of magical power, but now, in terms of his understanding of energy, mental power, control of magical power, and so on, Connor believed that he had reached the very top of the senior wizard apprentice realm. The next thing he needed to do was undoubtedly prepare to break through and become a full wizard!

Connor took out two bottles of potions that Varga had concocted for him from his spatial ring and consumed them to recover from the mana depletion caused by his recent breakthrough. He then walked out of his apartment and retrieved all the letters from the mailbox outside the door. Two or three days had passed since he sent a secret letter to Martina and Margaret to inquire about the matter. Logically speaking, it was time for Martina and Margaret to give him their feedback!

Connor placed the seven love letters from his mailbox on the table, lined them up, and began to carefully examine them one by one. After five minutes, he had read six letters, but his expression darkened, and the hope in his eyes diminished considerably. None of the six letters were what he wanted; they were either from factories seeking investment, restaurant flyers, or self-promotional messages from real estate agents—nothing of value to him whatsoever.

Turning his gaze to the last letter, Connor knew that if this wasn't the one he wanted, he might have to wait a few more days for a letter from Margaret and Martina.

Picking up the ordinary white letter, Connor removed the red ink, took out the letter paper, and began to read its contents. After quickly scanning the contents, he realized that this was not the password he shared with Martina and Margaret. A look of disappointment appeared in Connor's eyes, and without giving it a second glance, he slammed the last letter onto the table.

However, just a few seconds later, Connor seemed to realize something incredible. A strange expression appeared on his face, and he picked up the letter he had just put down from the table and began to examine it. The result was exactly the same as when Connor read it for the first time: the text of the letter, whether it was Connor's password with Margaret or his password with Martina, still did not match.

But when Connor took out the third set of codes to check the contents of the letter, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the contents of the letter matched his code perfectly at every step without any errors!

"I was attacked by Tusam, but I'm fine now, don't worry! See you at the usual place on the 16th!"

Muttering the true contents of the letter to himself, even Connor, usually so composed and never showing his emotions, revealed a look of wild joy on his face. He never expected that instead of replies from Martina and Margaret, he would receive a letter from Varga! Yes, this white letter—this letter was actually a message left for him by Varga!

The fact that this last letter was from Varga was completely unexpected for Connor. If the contents of the letter hadn't perfectly matched his and Varga's secret code, Connor really wouldn't have believed it.

Although Connor had been somewhat relieved after confirming from Tusam's words that Varga was still alive, he estimated that Varga must have been injured after encountering the powerful demonized knight Tusam. Therefore, it would probably take some time before he could make contact with her again. So, Varga's letter was a truly unexpected surprise for Connor.

Connor did not doubt whether the letter was indeed from Varga, as he suspected. First of all, the content of the letter was written using a code he and Varga had agreed upon, and it was written thirty years ago by Professor Maurizio Sari, a history professor at the University of Carmen, in the chapter "The Glorious Empire: The Tulips of the Glorious Empire," published by the Imperial Press.

Aside from the cipher known only to Connor and Varga, no magic was used in this letter. So no matter how high your cultivation level is, without knowing the cipher, you would only think it's an ordinary sales pitch and wouldn't be able to discern its true content.
