Wizard Earl

Chapter 706 Suspected

Without its master's support, the spiritual power residing in Margaret's divine sea was no match for Connor. Faced with Connor's powerful spiritual attack, it did not last long before gradually beginning to crumble.

As the cleansing began, the feeling that this spiritual power belonged to Old Victor grew stronger and stronger in Connor's heart. Connor was basically certain that Margaret had suffered a severe mental attack from Old Victor, which was why she had not yet fully woken up!

Furthermore, judging from the letter Margaret wrote to him pleading for help, she was severely injured by Old Victor only two or three days prior. This undoubtedly made Connor even more curious about what exactly happened between Margaret and Old Victor while he and Varga were recuperating in the safe house…

Although the actual cleansing process went relatively smoothly, Connor remained vigilant, continuing to concentrate and meticulously nibble away at the spiritual energy resembling Old Victor's within Margaret's divine sea. Eliminating this spiritual energy wasn't his goal; his aim was to remove it without causing any damage to Margaret's divine sea. Connor's spiritual energy, fundamentally, was also a form of invading Margaret's divine sea, so even the slightest movement from him could easily harm it!

The mental energy was gradually cleared away. Although the clearing of the mental energy that Old Victor had left in Margaret was much smoother than expected, this ease made Connor feel a little suspicious. In his memory, Old Victor's mental energy was very difficult to deal with. How could the clearing work be so easy? Could it be that Margaret's mental energy was not left by Old Victor?

But wait! This feeling of spiritual power is clearly Old Victor's. What's going on...? Could it be that Old Victor is dead? As the work on spiritual power was nearing completion, Connor, whose doubts were growing, couldn't help but have a bold idea rise in his mind.

Mental power is a very mysterious force, closely related to wizards. Even when used as a mental attack, it will still be affected by the wizard's state. If the wizard falls, mental power will be relatively easier to deal with.

With Connor's efforts, the mental energy of old Victor in Margaret's mind was quickly cleared away. After checking Margaret's mind and confirming that there were no problems, Connor slowly withdrew his mental energy from Margaret's mind.

"How is it? Is there a problem?" Seeing Connor's puzzled expression after finishing with Margaret, Varga felt a little heavy-hearted and asked:

Varga's question immediately snapped Connor out of his reverie. He shook his head and said, "It went smoothly. I've completely cleared away the spiritual energy that was lurking in her mind!"

Hearing Connor say this, Varga breathed a sigh of relief. She could tell that this woman named Margaret had a special relationship with Connor, and that Connor valued her highly. If Margaret died, or really became a vegetable, Connor would probably be depressed for a while, which was something Varga didn't want to see. Moreover, Connor had already made a promise to her that if Margaret recovered, Connor would cut off all ties with her. So Varga also wanted Margaret to wake up.

Relieved, Margaret took the calming stone from her mouth and returned it to her. Seeing Connor still looking preoccupied, she assumed he was still worried about Margaret's safety and couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She said irritably, "Don't worry, this woman won't die. In a few hours, she'll wake up and recognize you!"

Seeing Varga's intense jealousy, Connor shook his head, amused and exasperated. He then pulled Varga close around the waist, and after a token resistance, she resigned herself to being held in his arms. Holding Varga, Connor whispered in her ear, "Who do you think mentally attacked and injured Margaret's divine sea?"

Hearing Connor's words, Varga's heart stirred, and she turned to look at Connor, whispering, "What are you trying to say?"

Connor didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "I discovered that the injuries in Margaret's divine sea were very likely caused by Old Victor. And most importantly, my removal of the spiritual energy residing in Margaret went much more smoothly than I expected. Given this situation, it's possible that Old Victor has already perished!"

Connor's guess that old Victor was dead was undoubtedly shocking news for Varga as well. She was stunned for two or three seconds before she came to her senses. Once she recovered, Varga quickly asked Connor again, "Connor, how likely is that?"

"Very likely!" Under Varga's gaze, Connor nodded heavily, giving his conclusion. He then continued, "Margaret and old Victor have a deep-seated hatred for each other, and I've given Margaret the floor plan you gave me regarding old Victor hiding in the Oyar noodle factory!"

Connor hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Margaret and I originally planned to ambush and kill Old Victor while he was fighting Martina. However, Old Victor moved too quickly, and Margaret and I lost contact. I was alone while chasing Martina, so I got cornered by Old Victor. Even with our combined efforts, Old Victor was badly injured and forced to retreat. If Margaret had attacked Old Victor at that time, it wouldn't have been impossible to kill him!"

After stating his guess, Connor felt a sharp pain in his lower back. He saw Varga in his arms, glaring at him resentfully, her delicate hand giving his waist a sharp twist. She said gruffly, "So that's why you always made excuses when we planned to kill old Victor together, Connor! Turns out you already had a plan with another woman!"

Hearing Varga's complaint, Connor quickly reassured her, "Varga, I want to take good care of you and don't want you to take any risks. You and I both know how strong old Victor is. After severely injuring Martina, he was still able to calmly retreat from our combined attack. If we were to join forces to kill him, Varga, I'm really afraid I wouldn't be able to protect you!"
