Wizard Earl

Chapter 703 Rescuing Margaret

Seeing Varga's confusion and shock, Connor knew the situation was urgent and there was no time to explain. He could only place Margaret in the quiet room and earnestly say to Varga, "Varga! This person is a very important friend of mine in Loen. She has helped me a lot! Her injuries are very serious. You must save her!"

Sensing the urgency in Connor's words, and upon closer inspection of Margaret's pale yet stunningly beautiful face, Varga seemed to sense something. Without saying a word, she gave Connor a deep look. Just as Connor was feeling uneasy, Varga placed her right hand on Margaret's head, closed her eyes, and began to carefully examine Margaret's physical condition.

After examining her for about a minute, Varga removed her hand from Margaret's head and looked at Connor expressionlessly.

Although Varga's pretty face showed no anger or sadness, Connor could still sense the turbulent emotions surging within her beneath her calm expression. He gritted his teeth and confessed to Varga, "Her name is Margaret. She's a friend of mine within the Church of Storms. She's helped me a lot. I gave her that Guardian Pill... I know the Guardian Pill is very precious, but..."

Upon hearing Connor's account, Varga glanced at Connor and Margaret, who were both covered in wounds, and then calmly said, "Her injuries are severe; I cannot guarantee she will survive!"

"Varga, please..." Upon hearing that Varga might not be able to save Margaret, Connor's expression became increasingly anxious, and he hurriedly said to Connor:

Sensing Connor's worry for the unconscious woman before her, Varga looked at him with a hint of coldness. However, seeing Connor's state, Varga's heart softened slightly, and she said softly, "I will do my best to save her!"

After saying that, Varga glared fiercely at Connor, then said resentfully, "As for you, Connor, you'd better think about how you're going to explain this to me! Humph!"

After saying that, Varga ignored Connor and took out a bottle of pink potion from her spatial ring, which she gave to the unconscious Margaret. Then, Varga solemnly took out a silver needle that was at least thirty centimeters long from her spatial ring and began to slowly pierce Margaret's vital point between her eyebrows with great concentration.

Seeing Varga begin to cast spells to heal Margaret, Connor, who had great confidence in Varga's medical skills, gradually calmed down. However, as he relaxed, he couldn't help but inwardly groan. Just as he had imagined, the perceptive Varga had begun to notice the unusual relationship between him and Margaret. Without a doubt, given Varga's temperament, she would not let this matter rest easily; she would absolutely not allow it to pass so easily…

However, he couldn't tell Varga everything about his relationship with Margaret. Given Varga's jealous nature, she might kill Margaret if she knew the full extent of their affair. But Varga wasn't stupid; she would see through the lie if it had even the slightest flaw. What should he do?

Caught in a dilemma, Connor's mind raced, hoping he could come up with a perfect solution...

Just as Connor was trying to figure out how to get through this, Margaret, who had been unconscious, finally reacted under Varga's acupuncture treatment. A look of pain appeared on her face, which immediately caught Connor's attention. After carefully examining Margaret's condition, a look of joy appeared on Connor's face.

Connor's medical knowledge made him realize that although Margaret's face showed a painful expression, it was a good thing. It meant that Margaret was gradually regaining consciousness and feeling pain. Losing consciousness and being unconscious without any reaction, as before, would have been the most dangerous situation.

Although he was happy that Margaret was beginning to recover from her dangerous condition, Connor's smile vanished as he glanced at Varga, who was intently treating Margaret. He sat up straight, but this time Connor seemed to be overthinking things. As the doctor, Varga's attention was entirely focused on Margaret, and she had no energy to pay attention to his condition.

Seeing the pained expression on Margaret's face, Varga, who was casting the spell, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then she placed her hand on Margaret's forehead, closed her eyes, and checked Margaret's physical condition. After a few dozen seconds, Varga opened her eyes, removed the silver needle from between Margaret's eyebrows, and carefully put it back into her spatial ring.

"Connor!" After removing the silver needles, Varga wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and called out to Connor:

Connor, who was observing Varga's movements, immediately replied when Varga called his name, "Yes! Varga, what's wrong? Do you need my help?"

"Well, the situation might require your help later, but before that, I want you to make a decision for your female friend!" Varga said to Connor with a serious expression.

Upon hearing Varga ask Margaret to make the decision, Connor asked Varga with some confusion, "What decision?"

"Treatment plan! Connor, this woman is your friend, not mine, so now you need to choose a treatment plan for her! As you can see, your friend is basically out of danger thanks to my spell, but this is not the end, but the beginning! Her injuries are beyond my current capabilities to fully restore her to a healthy state!"

"So now, Connor, I'm offering you two treatment options. The first is conservative treatment, which can wake her up within a week, but that's all. She won't be able to walk normally for a year, and she won't be able to use magic or mental power for three years. Moreover, the probability of her breaking through to become a formal wizard will be greatly reduced!"

"The second method, a radical treatment, if successful, will allow her to awaken within three days and use magic and mental power in about two months. Although it will negatively impact her breakthrough to become a formal wizard, it will not damage her fundamental abilities, and the negative impact will be limited."
