Wizard Earl

Connor's action immediately ignited the inner fire within Margaret. If Margaret hadn't restrained her emotions, she might have rushed out and chopped Connor Ferguson, the scumbag who had deceived her feelings, into pieces!

Fortunately, Connor's words of comfort and actions later pleased Margaret. In addition, she regained her senses and realized that she and Connor were destined to be unable to stand in the sunlight for a long time to come. After Connor became the Earl of Ferguson, the position of Countess could not remain vacant forever, so she tacitly accepted the fact that Varga had become the Countess.

However, this commotion with Connor created a problem. Margaret hadn't anticipated that she would tell Connor everything about Firo. In Margaret's eyes, since she was already with Connor, it was only natural for her to ask Connor for help when she encountered trouble.

However, after her argument with Connor, Margaret realized a problem: if she were to tell Connor about Firo and ask for his help, while Connor would certainly agree, the meaning would change. It would be as if Margaret was tacitly agreeing to Varga's marriage to get Connor's help, turning it into an exchange of benefits. Margaret didn't like that, which is why she didn't follow her original plan and reveal everything about Firo and the Blood Moon Codex to Connor.

However, because she was worried that Philo might leave Susspad and all her efforts would be in vain, Margaret pointed out to Connor that his uncle, Warren Ferguson, was problematic. Margaret knew that Connor was very capable.

Once Connor learns from him that Warrent Ferguson has a problem, he can quickly follow the trail and dig deeper into Philo's background. Then, when Margaret tells Connor about the Blood Moon Codex, it will seem natural, avoiding the embarrassment of revealing everything now!

Now all Margaret has to do is wait, wait for Connor to find out about the relationship between his second uncle, Warren Ferguson, and Philo and then come to her!

Three days later, in a very secluded cabin on the outskirts of Frosinone, Connor sat with his legs crossed, leaning back in his chair, intently reading a document. Beside him stood a man of unremarkable appearance, slightly overweight, but with a very upright posture, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, respectfully. This man was none other than Arbeloa, the general manager of Ferguson Minerals Distribution Company!

Since Connor's last visit to Arbeloa and his subsequent soul search, Connor confirmed that although Arbeloa concealed his wizard identity and remained within the Ferguson family, he was not a spy sent by the secret society to his side. Furthermore, Arbeloa was quite talented, and the Ferguson family's revival needed such talent. Therefore, Connor did not take any action against him, but instead placed a restriction in his mind to ensure that Arbeloa remained under his control.

A few minutes later, Connor finished reading the document, put it down, closed his eyes, and began to ponder. His fingers tapped lightly on the chair. After a moment of silence, Connor, with his eyes still closed, asked Arbeloa, "Where is he?"

Upon hearing Connor's instructions, Arbeloa, who was waiting respectfully to the side, immediately pressed the mechanism in the cabin. Instantly, a large hole appeared in the floor of the cabin, and a cross-shaped wooden stake rose up. On this cross-shaped wooden stake, a middle-aged man covered in wounds and blood was tied, with not a single unharmed spot on his body.

As the middle-aged man appeared, Connor opened his eyes. Although the middle-aged man on the wooden stake was covered in blood and his face was not visible, it did not prevent Connor from knowing who the middle-aged man was.

At this moment, the middle-aged man seemed to have also awakened from his painful unconsciousness. Seeing Connor Ferguson before him, he was initially stunned, then looked at Arbeloa, who stood respectfully to the side, a look of disbelief appearing in his eyes. However, he reacted quickly, accepting the fact in the next second, and pleaded with Connor, "Connor, I am Warren Ferguson, your second uncle!"

"It was Philo who came to me! I was forced into this situation. Please, have mercy on me! For your father Alfredo's sake, Connor, please spare me!"

Hearing Warren Ferguson's pleas, Connor showed no reaction, only coldly staring at the man before him—a man who seemed familiar from his memory, yet whom he was meeting for the first time—his "Second Uncle!"

After learning that Warren Ferguson had a problem, although finding him to perform a soul search wouldn't be difficult, Connor had other things to do, so he entrusted the investigation of Warren Ferguson to Arbeloa. Connor did this partly to find out what was wrong with his uncle Warren Ferguson, and partly to test Arbeloa's abilities!

Now that Connor has seen the results of Arbeloa's work, he is very satisfied with how well Arbeloa has completed the tasks assigned to him.

Arbeloa had dug up a lot of details about Warren Ferguson. Connor's "second uncle" had gone from an ordinary person to a junior wizarding apprentice. Not only that, Arbeloa also extracted from Warren Ferguson a wizard named Philo, who called himself the "Blood Moon Overlord." The reason Warren Ferguson was able to go from an ordinary person to a junior wizarding apprentice was all Philo's doing!

According to Warren Ferguson's confession, he met Philo at an auction about a year ago. Philo used some means to gain Warren Ferguson's trust and then said some very tempting things to Warren Ferguson, such as that becoming a wizard would prolong life and keep him young forever, which made Warren Ferguson yearn to become a wizard.

After successfully seducing Warren Ferguson into becoming a wizard, Philo told Ferguson that he disregarded Ferguson's identity and asked if Ferguson was willing to become a wizard. If Ferguson was willing, Philo could help him become a wizard!
