Wizard Earl

Chapter 716 Untitled

Margaret absolutely did not want either of these situations to happen, so after much hesitation, she decided to keep the matter to herself and not tell Connor for the time being.

After a moment of contemplation, Margaret shook her head and sighed again. She could see that Connor's feelings for Varga were no less than hers. Even if Varga truly was a bloodthirsty maniac, given Connor's thick-skinned, ruthless nature, he wouldn't care much. However, if she were to be with Connor a year from now, she would have to be very careful and wary of Varga...

············

············

Connor, unaware of Margaret's thoughts, did not return to his own room after leaving Margaret's room. Instead, he headed towards Varga's room. Before leaving Rune, he and Varga, bound by the oath of the Eye of Arbitration, still had one thing to do: Varga had promised to brew the Salerin potion for the Karalov couple!

Varga successfully concocted two bottles of Salerin potion half a month ago, and tomorrow is the day that everyone agreed on half a year ago, when Connor and Varga will deliver the Salerin potion to the Kararov couple!

So today, Connor felt it necessary to give Varga some instructions, just in case. When he arrived at Varga's door, she didn't, like Martina, deliberately close the door, pretending to meditate and prevent Connor from entering. Instead, she left the door ajar, seemingly hinting at something to him…

Seeing that the door was ajar, Connor didn't bother with formalities and walked straight into the room. Upon seeing Connor enter, Varga, seemingly sensing Margaret's scent on him, sat on the sofa and said to Connor with a hint of jealousy and sarcasm, "Didn't you get enough to eat at her place?"

Seeing this, Connor shook his head helplessly and said, "Valga, I've come to tell you something important."

Hearing Connor say that, and thinking about the day she would meet the Kararovs tomorrow, Varga's red lips were still slightly pouting, but the look in her eyes became serious!

"Valga, the meeting place tomorrow is Manor No. 37 on McKinsey Avenue outside Rune. I'll go alone tomorrow with the Salerin potion. You use the Eusebio Mask to change your appearance and buy two train tickets from Rune to Tunguska three days from now!" Connor said seriously, looking at Valga.

"Connor, if we're going, let's go together. Kararov's strength isn't much weaker than old Victor's. If you go alone..." Varga said, looking at Connor with some concern.

Sensing the concern in Varga's words, Connor smiled and waved his hand, then said, "I'm not going to fight him to the death tomorrow. I'm just going to deliver the potion to him. Even if he really wants revenge for the arrow I shot last time, I won't fight him. I'm practically a local strongman in Rune. If I want to run, Kararov definitely can't stop me!"

Hearing Connor's words, Varga looked at the smiling Connor with some surprise. Seeing Varga looking at him like that, Connor couldn't help but ask, "Varga, what's wrong? Is something the problem?"

"It's nothing! Connor, this isn't like you. Normally you would have killed Kararov, since he and that blonde woman know who we are!" A faint, cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes as Varga said in a low voice:

Varga's words made Connor chuckle. After carefully considering his words, Connor spoke very frankly to Varga, "Varga, that's what I originally thought too, but things have changed. I want to play it safe now and don't want to take any risks at this critical juncture. If it weren't for the oath we made with the Karalovs under the witness of the Eye of Arbitration, and the punishment we would face from the Eye of Arbitration if we didn't deliver the Salerin potion to them, I wouldn't even want to see the Karalovs!"

After Connor finished speaking, Varga frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Connor, "Connor, are you worried about old Victor?"

"No! Old Victor is finished. After you and I joined forces to defeat him, Margaret happened to go to the Oyar noodle factory to assassinate him. Margaret's injuries were inflicted by Old Victor, and Old Victor himself died at Margaret's hands!"

The news of old Victor's death that Connor told her shocked Varga immensely, her cherry-like mouth forming an "O" shape. Although Connor had told Margaret after treating her injuries that Margaret's wounds were likely inflicted by old Victor, Varga never imagined that the unfathomable old Victor in her memory would die at Margaret's hands.

Connor shrugged slightly at Varga's stunned expression, showing no surprise whatsoever. Although he knew that Margaret's strength was probably above his, Connor was still incredibly shocked when he confirmed this information with Margaret herself.

"Is Connor's information reliable?" It took Varga a good seven or eight seconds to recover from her shock, but she still asked Connor with some disbelief:

Under Varga's gaze, Connor nodded firmly and said, "Margaret just told me this herself. I believe Margaret would never lie to me. And logically speaking, after we forced Old Victor back together, he left injured. Margaret's actual combat strength is also above mine. At that time, if she went to kill Old Victor, Margaret's chances of success would have been quite high!"

After listening to Connor's analysis, Varga nodded thoughtfully. After a moment's thought, Varga seemed to understand something more and said to Connor, "Now that old Victor is dead, the Secret Society only has Roberto and a few other intermediate wizard apprentices left in Rune. If you and I join forces, they are no match for us. Connor, could we... not leave Rune?"

"Valga, do you remember I told you that there's a spy of my mentor in the upper echelons of the Church of Rune Storms? This spy is very likely a legitimate wizard. If we don't leave Rune, my mentor might order this spy to attack us!" Connor explained.
