Wizard Earl

Sensing the resolute tone in Margaret's words, Connor, who was about to take Margaret to Varga, was suddenly stunned. He really hadn't expected that Margaret had such a deep-seated prejudice against Varga that she would rather die than accept Varga's treatment.

Based on his examination of Margaret's body, although she is not in immediate danger, her magical power is beginning to show signs of becoming uncontrollable. Moreover, the blood witchcraft energy within her body is even affecting her mind. Although there are no immediate problems, if this continues without effective intervention, Margaret's death, or even a more serious loss of control, is highly probable!

"Margaret, I've reached an agreement with Varga. We can absolutely coexist peacefully!" After a moment of silence and careful consideration of his words, Connor spoke to Margaret with utmost sincerity:

"Connor Ferguson! I'll say it one last time, I, Margaret, don't need Varga's help!"

Seeing Connor continue to mention Varga's name in front of her, Margaret became agitated and shouted at Connor through gritted teeth. Fortunately, Connor had set up a protective barrier in the private room beforehand; otherwise, Margaret's voice would have been heard throughout the entire café.

Seeing Margaret's highly agitated state, Connor refrained from provoking her. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "I understand! I won't bring Varga here!"

After saying that, Connor gently pulled Margaret into his arms. Leaning against Connor's strong chest, Margaret's somewhat agitated emotions gradually calmed down. After a few dozen seconds, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and broke free from Connor's embrace.

After observing Margaret for a moment and seeing that she had returned to a calm state, Connor felt relieved. After hesitating for a moment, he asked Margaret, "Margaret, do you know where this Philo is now?"

Upon hearing Connor inquire about Firo's location, Margaret immediately realized what Connor intended to do. She glanced at Connor and then warned him, "Connor, I know your strength has increased rapidly since you became a full-fledged wizard; you may even have killed a Level 1 wizard. But I want to tell you that Firo, who has mastered the Blood Moon Codex, is far more powerful than any of the Level 1 wizards you've ever encountered!"

Before Margaret's voice had even finished, a look of doubt immediately appeared in Connor's eyes. Margaret hadn't been in Frosinone for very long, so why did her words sound like she knew about what he had been doing in Frosinone?

Seeing the doubt in Connor's eyes, Margaret hesitated for a moment, but still decided to be honest with him: "Connor, you don't really think both churches consider you useless, do you? The things you did in Frosinone, including your close interactions with the Royalists, both churches have heard about it for a while, even though they don't have complete evidence yet. Connor, you're now on separate files and listed as a key target for investigation by both the Earth God Church and the Storm Church!"

"The reason why the two major churches are not taking any action against you, Connor, is entirely because you have now become a formal wizard, not some minor character who can be easily manipulated. Therefore, given your strong destructive capabilities, as long as you don't do anything outrageous, the two major churches will generally turn a blind eye to your existence. This is also the standard practice for white wizards towards black wizards who have become formal wizards!"

"As for how I know about you, Connor, it's because before I came to Frosinone, I asked a good friend to show me the information the church had gathered about you!" Margaret explained to Connor.

Upon hearing Margaret's explanation, Connor suddenly understood. No wonder he felt no threat from the two major churches after arriving in Frosinone. He had originally thought that the Earth God Church in Frosinone had overwhelmed the Storm Church, and that the Earth God Church's doctrines were relatively mild, which was why this was the case!

But now it seems that's how it is. As your strength increases, even the Church, which used to seem high and mighty, will change its strategy towards you, from trying to exterminate you to acknowledging your existence!

Having finished his internal monologue, Connor smiled slightly at Margaret and said, "Margaret, my current strength might be a bit greater than you think! Tell me where you've hidden Philo?"

Despite some hesitation, seeing Connor's confidence, Margaret made up her mind. She said to Connor, "Connor, I can tell you where Philo is hiding, but you must promise me that you'll take me with you when you go to find Philo. I'll help you secretly!"

"Okay! No problem!" Connor smiled and nodded in agreement.

After receiving Connor's promise, Margaret felt somewhat relieved. She took out a map of the area surrounding Frosinone from her spatial ring and pointed to the town of Saspede, 130 kilometers away from Frosinone, saying, "Connor, do you remember me telling you that I monitored your second uncle, Warren Ferguson, and Firo's communication? During that communication, I used the positioning bead to confirm that Firo was hiding here!"

Hearing Margaret say this, Connor's gaze involuntarily focused on the seemingly inconspicuous town on the map. Just then, Margaret continued with some regret, "Although we can confirm that Firo is hiding in Saspede, unfortunately, I cannot pinpoint his exact location within the town!"

Margaret's words immediately made Connor realize how serious the situation was. According to Margaret, Philo could be anywhere in the Sasped region!

Judging from the map, the town of Saspede, where Philo is hiding, is not just a single town, but an area encompassing fifteen villages, hundreds of square kilometers, and tens of thousands of people. Finding Philo in such a large area is like finding a needle in a haystack, which may be an exaggeration, but it's close enough!

After carefully examining the map of Susspad, and combining this with the information Warren Ferguson had given about Firo, Connor had his own ideas about how to find Firo...
