Wizard Earl

At this moment, Varga did not notice Connor's change in mind. Although she was very disappointed to learn from Connor's introduction that the beautiful ring was not the one he had imagined to use to propose to her, Varga chose to hide her disappointment in order not to embarrass Connor. Instead, she pretended to be happy and took out the defensive magic item that Connor and his family had made for her from the ring box.

Holding the ring in her hand, Varga examined it carefully. She looked up at Connor with a smile and said, "Connor, I love the red glow on this ring! How about we call it the Rainbow Ring? It would match your silver pendant perfectly!"

"Rainbow Ring? What a great name!" Pretending not to understand Varga's hint, Connor smiled and nodded in agreement.

Although she didn't know if Connor genuinely didn't understand or was pretending, seeing that Connor didn't react, Varga gritted her teeth, placed the ring in her palm, and said to Connor, "Connor, this ring is so beautiful, which finger do you think would look better on me?"

Although Varga's tone was somewhat nonchalant and casual, as if she were simply discussing what to eat for dinner with Connor, Connor, who knew Varga's personality very well, clearly understood the hidden meaning in her words.

Seeing that Varga was somewhat persistent and seemed to have revealed her true intentions, Connor, who was not originally prepared to express his opinion so quickly, had no choice but to take a deep breath, take the ring from Varga's palm, and then carefully place the ring on Varga's delicate, white jade-like middle finger.

When Varga saw that Connor was only indicating that he was taken, she was disappointed again, as she had been hoping that Connor would put the ring on her left middle finger or ring finger.

Seemingly sensing Varga's disappointment, Connor pulled her into his arms, gently kissed her forehead, and said with absolute certainty, "Varga, now that Prince Boateng is dead, that biggest threat to me is gone for the time being. Once things settle down, I'll take you back to the Ferguson family and give you a proper status!"

Hearing Connor's promise, Varga, who had been filled with disappointment, was overjoyed. She had urged Connor time and again for the sake of a formal commitment, and now she finally saw a glimmer of hope...

Overjoyed, before Varga could say anything, she felt as if she had been instantly elevated. The cultivation bottleneck that had been troubling Varga and preventing her from making any progress had loosened.

Connor, holding Varga in his arms, immediately sensed what had happened to her. His eyes lit up with surprise. Varga's talent for cultivation was already top-notch. With the support of the secret society and her own alchemy skills, her cultivation resources had never been interrupted. Before coming to Frosinone, she was already at the peak of a high-level wizard apprentice. Once she crossed that cultivation bottleneck, she would truly be only one step away from becoming a first-level wizard.

Originally, in the wizarding world, it was extremely rare for someone like Connor to break through the cultivation bottleneck and become a first-level wizard in just a few years. Normally, it was common for people to be stuck at this cultivation bottleneck for more than ten years or even a lifetime. Therefore, neither Connor nor Varga was too worried when Varga was trapped by the cultivation bottleneck. They both believed that they still needed time to consolidate their cultivation.

But now it seems that Varga is quite lucky; her chance has finally arrived!

Realizing this great opportunity was coming, Connor immediately suppressed his desire. He gestured for Varga to use meditation to seize the chance, and without hesitation, he took out the last batch of magic stones he had brought from the Tunguska Mine and quickly set up an energy-gathering array and a concealment array for Varga.

"Don't be nervous, believe in yourself, Varga, you can do it!" Seeing Varga's slight nervousness, Connor gently kissed her forehead and whispered encouragingly in her ear:

With Connor's reassurance, Varga, who was not yet prepared to face the breakthrough, gradually relaxed. She nodded heavily to Connor and then entered the array that Connor had set up for her.

As Varga settled into the magic circle and began practicing meditation in an attempt to break through the loosening bottleneck in her cultivation, Connor also took charge of the formation. Under Connor's control, the thousands of magic stones placed within the formation released their energy for Varga, who was at a crucial juncture in her breakthrough, to absorb.

Meanwhile, with the help of the concealment array, the massive energy fluctuations caused by the release of energy from thousands of magic stones were all eliminated. The residents of Aryan Town, apart from feeling that the weather was slightly hot, seemed unaware of what was happening in Connor's courtyard.

Four hours later, just as the last magic stone in the magic circle released all its energy, and Connor, with a furrowed brow, was preparing to use other alchemical methods to create energy for Varga to absorb, Varga, who was meditating in the magic circle, finally showed a change, and her aura began to slowly rise.

Under Connor's watchful gaze, Varga's rising aura abruptly stopped just short of becoming a first-level wizard.

At this moment, Varga, who was at the center of the magic circle, slowly opened her eyes. Perhaps she had already sensed the changes in herself, and her eyes were full of excitement.

"Congratulations, Varga! You're just one step away from becoming a first-level wizard!" Connor smiled and congratulated Varga.

Although the success rate of a high-level wizard apprentice breaking through to become a first-level wizard is very low, in Connor's eyes, Varga, who has broken through her cultivation bottleneck, has a chance of becoming a first-level wizard with the help of his methods of assisting the breakthrough and the help of her own potions. This chance is no less than when he tried to break through in Tunguska.

It's even better than that. After all, back in Tunguska, Connor's breakthrough was basically all achieved by him figuring things out on his own. Now that Connor is a formal wizard, he can guide Varga based on his experience in breaking through!

Varga became a first-level wizard. Although this still couldn't change Connor's disadvantage against Reyes, Varga's loyalty to him would be a great help to him!
