Wizard Earl

Chapter 715 Margaret's Guesses

So, despite her best friend Leonie's advice, Margaret secretly sneaked into Dr. Gulsi's private hospital. However, after successfully infiltrating the hospital, Margaret was surprised to discover that a young male doctor named Cevallos, who looked like an ordinary person, was actually a doctor with intermediate wizarding apprenticeship.

Just as Margaret had drugged Dr. Salvador and was preparing to use a truth serum to uncover the secrets in his mind, a mysterious figure wearing a bronze mask and wielding a short, enchanted dagger entered. This mysterious figure was very powerful, skilled in using vines and poisons. He fought several rounds with Margaret, who was using blood magic, and neither of them was at a disadvantage. In the end, the mysterious figure seemed unable to defeat Margaret and withdrew on his own.

Margaret, realizing that her whereabouts had been exposed and that staying at the Gulsi Private Hospital was too risky, was forced to abandon her exploration of the hospital and quietly slipped away.

Because of the appearance of this mysterious person wearing a bronze mask, the raid on Dr. Gulsi's private hospital did not uncover the secrets of the hospital as Margaret had expected. Therefore, Varga still regrets it to this day. As a result, Margaret is also very curious about the identity of this mysterious person who suddenly appeared wearing a bronze mask, and has thought about and investigated it deeply.

First, Margaret considered that, judging from the person's familiarity with the hospital, this mysterious person must be an insider at the hospital, and very likely also a member of a secret society. Otherwise, she could have left so calmly that Margaret couldn't find any trace of her departure! Moreover, judging from the groaning sound made after being injured by Margaret, the mysterious person should be a woman.

Secondly, Margaret didn't believe that this mysterious person was after her. Her investigation of Dr. Gursey's private hospital was a spur-of-the-moment decision; she had only told Leonie about it half an hour beforehand. If this mysterious person was after her, then it would be impossible unless this mysterious person wearing a bronze mask could use the legendary art of divination to predict Margaret's actions.

It was obvious that the mysterious man, who was only an intermediate wizard apprentice at the time, could not have done this. Therefore, Margaret believed that her meeting with the mysterious man wearing the bronze mask was a complete coincidence. Margaret thought that the mysterious man's purpose was to kill the doctor named Cevallos, and he just happened to run into her!

However, Martina felt extremely unlucky upon realizing this, but ultimately there was nothing she could do. After her infiltration, the security at Dr. Gulsi's private hospital had been greatly increased, and Margaret never had another chance to infiltrate. The informant in the Metropolitan Police Department who had provided Margaret with information about Dr. Gulsi's private hospital, Cardinal Elena, also died in an accident. From then on, Margaret could no longer know anything about Dr. Gulsi's private hospital and could only silently observe this secret society's secret base in Rune.

However, Margaret continued to investigate the identity of the Bronze Masked Man. After a covert investigation, although Margaret did not find out who the Bronze Masked Man was, the results she found were extremely shocking. Although she could vaguely discover that high-ranking officials in the Storm Church and the Rune Metropolitan Police Department were deliberately concealing the existence of the Bronze Masked Man, Margaret alone found five massacres related to the Bronze Masked Man in the past three years, as well as a total of seventeen other murder cases of varying sizes. It is conservatively estimated that hundreds of people died at the hands of the Bronze Masked Man. In other words, the Bronze Masked Man was an out-and-out murderous monster!

Because she discovered that some people within the church had begun to notice her investigation into the bronze-masked man, Margaret stopped investigating. Furthermore, having no further contact with the bronze-masked man, Margaret gradually forgot about the matter.

This all happened several years ago. If Margaret hadn't met Varga today, she might have forgotten it all. But after seeing Varga today, Margaret slowly remembered it again. Combined with the sense of déjà vu that Varga gave her, Margaret felt she had reason to believe that Varga was the bronze-masked man who wanted to kill Ceballos that night!

Besides the sense of déjà vu that Varga gave her, Margaret unexpectedly discovered that Varga also matched other characteristics of the bronze-masked man.

Varga is a genius in the Secret Society's pharmaceuticals, and Dr. Gulsi's private hospital is suspected to be a secret stronghold of the Secret Society.

Varga is an apothecary, and the bronze-masked man is skilled in using poisons and vines—attack methods related to apothecary science.

Varga is a woman, and that night, after the bronze-masked man was injured by her, he unconsciously let out a woman's moan.

While it's not yet definitively proven that Varga is the Bronze Mask Man, considering all the evidence pointing to Varga, the petite, cute, and jealous apothecary Varga next to Connor is most likely the bloodthirsty maniac who killed hundreds of people in just three years—the Bronze Mask Man!

Realizing this, Margaret instinctively wanted to tell Connor what she had discovered. That's why she tried to stop Connor when he was about to leave. However, after calling out to him, Margaret suddenly realized something: Connor was also a member of the Secret Society, and he probably knew that Varga was the Bronze Mask Man!

Since Connor might already know, what would Connor think if I told him about this? Would he think I was being nosy?

If Connor was unaware of this, then if she told Connor about her discovery, he would definitely demand that she provide evidence. What Margaret found frustrating was that all the clues she discovered were just her guesses and feelings, without any solid evidence!

Without any evidence, relying solely on feelings and speculation, even Margaret herself helplessly thought that if she were Connor, upon hearing her words, she might think that she was deliberately smearing Varga, or even that she was the kind of woman who was deliberately trying to sabotage his relationship with Varga in order to win his favor!
