Wizard Earl

Chapter 707 Margaret Awakens

Connor's words pleased Varga. Just a moment ago she was jealous and full of resentment, but now the resentment in her eyes had almost completely disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Connor felt a sense of relief and exclaimed with joy! He had anticipated this day when Margaret refused to join Varga in planning to kill old Victor, so he had prepared this excuse long ago, and it was indeed worth the effort.

However, just when Connor thought he had gotten away with it, Varga's intelligence prevailed once again. She looked at Connor again and asked scrutinizingly, "Now that your female friend is almost alright, Connor, don't you think you should introduce her to me?"

"Uh... Varga, what do you want to know?" Connor inwardly groaned as he heard Varga shift her attention back to Margaret, his mind racing to come up with a solution.

"Connor, you can tell me anything you want, I want to know everything about you and her!" Varga said to Connor with a smile, then added at the end, "Connor, you'd better tell me yourself, otherwise if I find out later... hmph!"

With a wry smile, Connor asked, "Valga, do you remember the Mönchengladbach Club?"

"I remember, so what?" When Connor mentioned this underground wizarding exchange place, Varga asked in confusion. She clearly remembered that when she was selling potions at the Borussia Mönchengladbach Club, she was robbed and Connor came to her rescue. It was from that moment that she discovered that Connor was also a wizard!

"When I was still an intermediate wizard apprentice, I would take on jobs crafting alchemical items at the Menxing Guild Hall to earn cultivation resources and alchemical materials. That's how I met Margaret! Later, Margaret provided me with alchemical materials and some information about Runes. I crafted enchanted items for Margaret, and as our collaboration progressed, Margaret learned about my conflict with Old Victor!"

"And I also learned that Margaret already knew I was a member of the secret society. She approached me to learn about old Victor. She has a blood feud with old Victor and wants to kill him to avenge herself. We have common goals and complementary interests, so we became very close!" Connor recounted his story with Margaret to Varga.

Connor's words were all true; he wasn't lying to Varga. He was trying to use these fragmented truths to lead Varga down the path that his relationship with Margaret was merely for personal gain. Connor had to admit he was a bastard; he couldn't choose between Margaret and Varga, the two women who had been with him for so long. He couldn't abandon either of them. So when Varga asked, Connor could only choose to evade and delay…

Varga wasn't stupid. Although Connor had deliberately led her to believe that he and Margaret were only together for mutual benefit, Varga knew Connor as well as she did. He would never be so concerned or anxious about a friend for personal gain. She vividly remembered Connor carrying this woman into the safe house. Varga scrutinized Connor for a moment, then pressed, "Is it really that simple?"

"Of course!" Connor met Varga's gaze without flinching.

"She's a wizard from the Church of Storms?" After a moment of eye contact with Connor, Varga turned to Margaret, who was lying on the bed, and asked:

When Connor heard Varga ask this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then instantly realized that he had inadvertently revealed Margaret's background in order to get Varga to heal her. However, since he had just said that "Margaret is a wizard of the Church of Storms," ​​it would be too insulting to Varga's intelligence to change his mind now. So Connor could only nod helplessly.

Varga glanced at Connor, then at Margaret lying on the bed. To Connor's surprise, Varga didn't say anything more. Instead, she took a bottle of potion from her spatial ring, handed it to Connor, and said, "Remember to give her this when she wakes up!"

After Connor received the medicine, Varga continued, "I'm going to rest for a bit. Remember to call me if you have any problems!"

"Hmm!" Connor nodded in response, and Margaret didn't press him further, which really surprised him.

Varga left the room, leaving only Connor and Margaret lying on the bed. Looking at Margaret, whose complexion was beginning to improve after some treatment, Connor couldn't help but show concern.

However, to Connor's utter surprise, Margaret, who had been lying on the bed with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them without warning and looked Connor in the eye.

Upon seeing Margaret awaken, Connor, overwhelmed with joy, immediately wanted to say something. However, before he could speak, Margaret, lying on the bed, put her index finger to her lips and gestured for him to whisper.

Although he didn't understand why Margaret did this, Connor followed her instructions and whispered to her, "Margaret, it's so good to see you awake!"

"She saved me?" Margaret, still looking very weak after regaining consciousness, whispered to Connor as well.

"You just regained consciousness?" Connor asked, somewhat surprised, upon hearing Margaret mention "Valga."

Margaret nodded, then slowly sat up in bed, glanced around, and continued, "Where is this?"

"This is a safe house I have in Rune. Don't worry, you're safe now!" Connor introduced to Margaret. After a pause, he said somewhat apologetically, "Um, Margaret, there's something I need to tell you. I was in a bit of a rush earlier and told Varga that you're a wizard from the Church of Storms, and that Varga is the healer who just treated you. But don't worry, Margaret! I can guarantee that Varga would never betray you! I'm really sorry!"

Margaret didn't seem bothered that Connor had revealed her identity to Varga. She simply waved her hand and said softly to Connor, "It's alright! So what if he said it? I'm leaving the church anyway!"
