Wizard Earl

Chapter 714 Connor's Decision

After saying this, Connor stood there, pondered for a moment, and then said to Margaret, "Although old Victor is dead, I'm almost certain that Bishop Edel of the Church of Rune is the Secret Society's mole. So I plan to leave Rune in a few days. My destination should be back in Frosinone, where my family is located. Margaret, what are your plans? Would you like to come with me?"

When Connor asked if she wanted to come with him, a warm feeling welled up in Margaret's heart. However, without hesitation, she shook her head and said softly, "No, although I'm leaving Rune and the church, I have some things to do!"

Although Margaret didn't say what she was going to do, since she said she had something to do, Connor didn't press her further. He then smiled and said, "In that case, Margaret, after you're done, be sure to remember to come find me at the Ferguson family's place in Frosinone!"

"Of course, we have an agreement. If you don't fulfill it, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Margaret threatened Connor, feigning ferocity.

"If I, Connor, can't do it, I, Connor Ferguson, will commit suicide to atone for my sins, without you even having to lift a finger, Margaret!" Connor said with a smile, his smile full of confidence.

Seeing Connor's confidence, Margaret rolled her eyes at him again, but the next second she was pulled into his arms and they cuddled for a while. Then, as if he had thought of something, Connor took out a spatial ring from his spatial ring and handed it to Margaret.

"What is this?" Margaret blinked her beautiful eyes, looking curiously at the spatial ring that Connor handed her.

"Ten thousand magic stones!" Connor shrugged. Since Margaret wasn't coming with him, it was time to part ways. Connor didn't have anything good to give Margaret, so he gave her all the magic stones he had left.

Faced with Connor's "generous gift," Margaret seemed somewhat reluctant. She parted her lips slightly, about to refuse Connor's kindness, but before she could speak, Connor added, "Have you forgotten our magic stone mine in Tunguska? I'm going there to harvest some more. Margaret, consider these magic stones as your advance share!"

Hearing Connor's words, Margaret finally accepted the spatial ring he offered, placing it in her pocket. Seeing Margaret accept his magic stone, a smile appeared on Connor's face. He did indeed need to visit the Tunguska magic stone mine before returning to the Ferguson family in Frosilone…

However, Connor still had reservations about what Margaret had to say. Besides telling Margaret that he would scavenge for magic stone mines before leaving, Connor also wanted to do something else: try to break through to become a full wizard in the cave near the magic stone mine, the one where he had last broken through to become an advanced wizard apprentice.

Connor has decided to attempt to break through to become a full-fledged wizard within a week. The signs of his breakthrough are becoming increasingly obvious, and he can't delay much longer. He certainly can't wait until he returns to Frosinone City to attempt the breakthrough. In that case, the cave outside Tunguska where he last broke through to become an advanced wizard apprentice is undoubtedly the best place for Connor to attempt the breakthrough. It is both secluded and safe, and no one else knows about it except Connor himself.

Moreover, not far from that cave is the magic stone mine that Connor and Margaret discovered. Connor could easily take the raw magic stone from the mine, refine it, and use it directly in the cave. The whole process would only take about a day to complete.

After handing the magic stone to Margaret, Connor exchanged a few private words with her before preparing to leave her room. However, just as Connor reached the door and was about to open it, Margaret, as if remembering something, suddenly spoke, "Connor..."

Upon hearing Margaret's question, Connor turned around and looked at Varga. Margaret's eyes flashed twice in response to Connor's gaze, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak. She shook her head at Connor, indicating that she had nothing to say.

Seeing Margaret's hesitation, Connor, unsuspecting, assumed it was because she was reluctant to part with him. A smile appeared on his face as he walked back to Margaret, gently brushing the bridge of her nose, and said, "Margaret, finish your business as soon as possible and come find me in Frosinone. When that time comes, I think I'll give you a big surprise!"

"Hmm!" Margaret concealed the strange look in her eyes in front of Connor and responded softly.

Connor gently kissed Margaret's smooth forehead before leaving her room, feeling reassured.

However, to Connor's utter surprise, after realizing that he had walked away, Margaret stopped suppressing her expression, and a clear look of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Margaret was certain that what she had just seen outside Connor's room was the first time she had actually met Varga, the secret society's potion genius behind Connor. Before that, she had only seen Varga's portrait through Martina. But for some reason, seeing Varga outside Connor's room gave Margaret a very strong sense of déjà vu, as if she had had a fierce conflict with Varga long ago…

After Varga's provocation, Margaret returned to her room. While still angry with Connor, she also pondered the matter, trying to figure out where her feeling of déjà vu with Varga came from. Just one minute before Connor entered the room, Margaret finally understood the source of this feeling. At the same time, an image of a figure wielding a magical short sword and wearing a bronze mask flashed into her mind…

Several years ago, when Margaret was still a mid-level wizarding apprentice, she discovered clues about the Secret Society while investigating a case of vengeful spirits in the rural area of ​​northern Loen. Following this lead and the inside information left for her by Cardinal Elena within the Loen Metropolitan Police Department, Margaret discovered that Dr. Gulsi's private hospital might be a secret base of the Secret Society in Loen.
