Wizard Earl

Chapter 709 Varga's Provocation

A minute later, recovering from the excitement of the bottleneck loosening, Connor fell into deep thought. It has to be said that Margaret had given him a tremendous amount of information.

First, Margaret killed old Victor. With old Victor dead, there is no doubt that the Secret Society is now leaderless in Rune. Furthermore, because Reyes is in the capital Bernabéu and is unable to leave the capital for some time due to certain matters, it is clear that the situation of the Secret Society being leaderless in Rune due to old Victor's death will not be resolved in the short term.

This made Connor waver slightly over his earlier decision with Varga to leave Rune. The reason Connor and Varga chose to leave Rune was because they had broken ties with the Secret Society at that time. If they continued to stay in Rune, Old Victor was likely to kill them all. In addition, the Ferguson family in Frosinone City might have something that Connor was interested in, so Connor decided to leave Rune with Varga.

However, with the passing of Old Victor, the situation has changed drastically. With the deaths of Emerson and Tusam, the Secret Society in Rune is left with only four high-level wizard apprentices: Varga, Roberto, Martina, and Old Victor. Now, Martina has been killed by Old Victor, Varga is on his side, and Old Victor has also been killed by Martina. It seems that the Secret Society in Rune now only has Roberto as a high-level wizard apprentice!

Although the Secret Society has several intermediate wizard apprentices in Rune besides Roberto, if Connor wanted, he could easily join forces with Varga, the two advanced wizard apprentices, to wipe them out quickly and send them to join the dying old Victor!

Thinking about this, Connor began to analyze the pros and cons in his mind again. After a long while, Connor shook his head and rejected his idea of ​​staying in Rune.

Although the Secret Society's power in Rune has been greatly weakened by the death of old Victor, and it seems that he and Varga have a slight advantage by joining forces, the Secret Society's power in Rune is not just old Victor's group. You should know that the bishop of the Storm Church in Rune, Edel, is a Secret Society spy within the Storm Church.

Although Edel, this local tyrant, is now restrained by Langley, the nominal leader of all arbitrators in Rune, he still has countless subordinates in Rune. Furthermore, Edel is a veteran, officially recognized wizard. Based on the information Reyes left him in the crystal ball, if he doesn't follow Reyes's orders and leave Rune, Reyes might very well have Edel take action against him and Varga. Moreover, Margaret is also about to flee, and the Storm Church is no longer providing him with any information. In that case, Edel might only need to lift a finger to bring about his and Varga's annihilation!

Therefore, the best course of action now is to leave Rune and break through to become a formal wizard. Although becoming a formal wizard will lead me into a trap set by Reyes, only by becoming a formal wizard will I have some self-protection power in front of Reyes and will not be at his mercy!

After figuring things out, Connor wanted to find Margaret. He had some questions he wanted to get from her, but when he checked the time, only a few hours had passed. Margaret, who was recovering from her serious injuries, was probably still processing the medicine given to her by Varga. It was inconvenient for her to be disturbed while she was meditating and healing, so Connor had to temporarily suppress his thoughts and resume his meditation.

The next day at noon, Connor was immersed in meditation in his room when he suddenly felt something and slowly stopped, ending his practice and opening his eyes.

Meanwhile, at the doorway of Connor's room, Varga and Margaret unexpectedly met. Perhaps both understood that the other's relationship with Connor was unusual, so neither spoke first, and they stared at each other, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere between them.

"Hello, are you Varga? I'm Margaret, thank you for saving me!"

Looking at the woman before her, with delicate features and a petite figure who bore a striking resemblance to the oil painting Martina had given her, Margaret knew immediately that this was Varga, the pharmacist behind Connor whom she had always wanted to know. Perhaps considering that Varga had saved her life, Margaret smiled and took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere, thanking Varga profusely.

Hearing the woman named "Margaret" thank her, Varga knew in her heart that this woman, who was even more beautiful than herself, had an unusual relationship with Connor and was most likely her rival in love. However, she knew it was better not to hit someone who was smiling, and besides, they were at Connor's door, so it wouldn't be worth arguing with her. Therefore, she suppressed her disgust and forced a smile on her pretty face, saying:

"It's alright. You're Connor's good friend. He always talks about you, saying you've provided him with a lot of alchemical assistance and are a very good partner. This time you need help, and Connor and I should lend a hand!"

When Margaret heard Varga's hostile tone from the start, referring to herself as "Connor's woman" and categorizing herself as "a partner who provides Connor with alchemical materials," Margaret's eyes narrowed instantly, and a surge of anger rose within her. Of course, Margaret was not one to be easily bullied, and she immediately prepared to retort.

However, before Margaret could speak, Connor, who had sensed Margaret and Varga about to argue in the quiet room, resolutely opened the door and awkwardly said, "What a coincidence, Margaret and Varga, you're both here!"

As soon as the door opened and Connor came out, Varga, quick as a flash, seemed to want to assert her dominance. She immediately took Connor's arm right in front of Margaret, moved closer to him, and then looked at Margaret with a smile.

Sensing Varga's actions, and for some reason, under Margaret's gaze, Connor instinctively wanted to look away. However, after processing the thought, Connor didn't reject Varga's intimacy...

Although Varga was smiling as she linked arms with Connor, Margaret perceived her smile and the gesture of linking arms as provocative. This undoubtedly intensified Margaret's resentment.
