Wizard Earl

Chapter 696 Margaret, who came prepared (1)

Having been with the Secret Society for so many years, Connor was well aware of his mentor Reyes's methods. Don't be fooled by his current pretense, seemingly offering a choice. If he truly refused and followed Reyes's advice, it meant that Connor Ferguson was of no value to Reyes. And for someone of no value, Reyes would absolutely not spare his life out of consideration for being his student. At that point, Connor believed that once he fell into Reyes's hands, even death would be a luxury…

"well···········"

With a slight sigh, Connor calmed his mind, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to meditate and cultivate. From another perspective, the information Reyes left in the crystal ball was not all bad news for Connor. At least since Reyes wanted to wait for him to become a formal wizard, he would not pursue him too fiercely now!

In this way, he should be safe for the time being and can stay in this safe house to recover and heal his injuries.

···············

···············

While Connor was recuperating in the safe house, Margaret, dressed in a linen robe to conceal her figure, appeared on a street corner in the late night of Naples Street in the Deruyn West district. Under the cover of the darkness, Margaret quietly gazed across the street at the Oyar Noodle Factory at No. 67 Naples Street.

After gazing at it for almost a minute, Margaret took out a very ordinary-looking church amulet from her bosom, gently kissed it, and whispered, "Sister Eileen, I'm going to avenge you."

After speaking, Margaret carefully put the amulet back into her bosom. Then, with a grim expression, she took out a silver mask from her spatial ring, put it on, and quietly approached the Oyar noodle factory.

Meanwhile, in the Oyar noodle factory, in a secluded two-story building, old Victor was meditating and healing. Although his complexion was still not good and his aura was much weaker, it was significantly better than when he had just escaped from Connor and Varga.

As Old Victor breathed, visible golden energy particles appeared around him. On the walls of this airtight chamber, faint energy runes could be seen, which firmly locked the energy fluctuations caused by Old Victor's cultivation and the golden energy particles within the chamber, preventing the outside world from sensing anything unusual.

Three hours ago, after escaping from the Castia magic circle, old Victor, who was quite injured, returned here to heal. This time, his injuries were not particularly serious, but they were still quite severe. After all, at that critical moment, it would not be an exaggeration to say that old Victor almost capsized in the gutter and was defeated by the two young men, Connor and Varga.

What truly troubled old Victor was that, despite his immense strength, he was, after all, old. His body was no longer young, and even with the support of medicine, his body's ability to recover from injuries had declined significantly.

It will take anywhere from one to three years for your injuries to fully heal, and that's just the initial healing. To return to your pre-injury condition will take even longer! For old Victor, whose life is nearing its end and who is preparing to complete this mission by going into complete seclusion to launch his final assault on becoming a full-fledged wizard, this is practically a nightmare!

When he realized the state of his body, old Victor felt a chill in his heart. He knew very well that even if he eventually recovered from his injuries and returned to his pre-injury condition, the injury would leave him with a chronic condition, further reducing his already low success rate in becoming a formal wizard!

"Who?"

Seemingly sensing something, old Victor, who was meditating in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, stared intently at the hidden door of his secret chamber, and demanded sharply:

Upon seeing that Old Victor had discovered him, the mysterious man who had sneaked to the secret door began to conceal himself. A short but intense energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from the doorway, and then, under Old Victor's gaze, the secret door of the secret society suddenly exploded, the terrifying power instantly blasting the secret door of the secret room into pieces!

This sudden turn of events caused Old Victor's expression to change slightly. As the owner of this secret room, he knew very well that although the hidden door looked ordinary, it was anything but. The hidden door was made with a specially made alloy as its framework, then a kind of metallic cement was injected into it, and then it was forged using a very complex alchemy process. Don't underestimate this hidden door just because it's a hidden door; its actual defensive capabilities are enough to withstand the explosion of a typical forged bomb, comparable to a top-tier first-order enchanted item. And now it was destroyed so easily, which clearly meant that the person who came was definitely aggressive and well-prepared!

After the secret door exploded, a large hole appeared in the wall of the secret chamber. However, to Old Victor's surprise, the mysterious, ill-intentioned figure outside didn't immediately enter through the hole…

Seeing this strange scene, old Victor hesitated for a moment, then took out his cane from his spatial ring, and swung it. Instantly, three golden light slashes shot towards the empty, shattered hole.

These three golden light slashes were powerful, extremely sharp, and incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, they had entered the large hole. Then, under Old Victor's watchful gaze, the three golden light slashes seemed to have been swallowed up, leaving no trace in the hole. Seeing this, Old Victor, feeling the trouble he was dealing with, couldn't help but become serious, and his mind became heavy.

Just then, a dark purple blade wheel flew out from the hole, heading straight for Old Victor's throat. Seeing that the mysterious person outside the door had finally made a move, Old Victor, who had been on guard, had a cold glint in his eyes. He placed his cane in front of him, and the cane immediately emitted a golden light, forming a golden light shield that protected Old Victor!
