Wizard Earl

"And Connor, the fact that you're being so polite and using honorifics shows that the favor you need from me isn't your problem. And given your personality, the only person who would make you come to me for help is probably that woman, Margaret, right?"

"Connor, you don't need to do this. Since I've already promised you, as long as you don't bring her to me, I naturally won't cause any trouble!" After saying that, Margaret looked at Connor with great certainty.

Hearing Margaret's insightful analysis, Connor couldn't help but marvel at how women in love could be like Sherlock Holmes; before he could even explain, they had already discovered everything…

Now that Varga had already discovered the truth, there was no point in hiding it anymore. So, under Varga's gaze, Connor nodded with a wry smile, indicating that Varga was right about what she was thinking.

Then Connor explained, "I met Margaret today. She's now a full-fledged wizard, just like you and me. However, due to some issues, Margaret's health has deteriorated. So, Varga, could you perhaps concoct some potions for her?" Connor looked at Varga expectantly, awaiting her reply.

Upon hearing Connor's question, Varga didn't immediately agree without hesitation, as she usually did when concocting potions for him. She calmly smoothed a stray strand of hair from her forehead and then asked, "Connor, is this your idea, or did Margaret ask you to come to me for help?"

Margaret's words immediately intensified the bitterness on Connor's face. Given Margaret's gentle yet strong-willed nature, she would rather die than let Varga diagnose her. How could she possibly let Connor help her find Varga to make medicine?

Having Varga concoct potions for Margaret was Connor's unauthorized decision without Margaret's consent, even though Margaret strongly resisted Varga and would not accept the potions she made.

However, given Margaret's current physical condition, after much deliberation, Connor decided it was better to prepare some potions just in case, so that he wouldn't be helpless and anxious at a critical moment. Moreover, if that happened, Connor could act first and report later. As long as Connor insisted that the potions were not made by Varga, Margaret would have no way of knowing who made them.

Seeing Connor's wry smile and silence, Varga asked him again, "What would you do if I refused, Connor?"

With a sigh, Connor met Varga's gaze and said in a deep voice, "Varga, whatever your opinion is, I will respect it and will not force you!"

"So, I'm not the only apothecary. If I refuse, Connor, you'll find someone else to brew the potion for Margaret, right?" Connor's words sounded perfectly reasonable, but having followed him for so many years, Varga naturally understood his underlying meaning and continued to ask:

This time, faced with Varga's question, Connor did not want to deceive her, so he did not give her an answer, but simply looked at her quietly, which was taken as tacit agreement with Varga's words.

For Connor, Margaret's safety was of utmost importance. Whether Varga was willing or not, brewing potions for Margaret was something he had to do. If Varga didn't help him with this, Connor naturally had other plans. Just as Varga said, although potion makers were rare in the wizarding world, they weren't the only ones!

Seeing Connor's attitude, even though she had anticipated this answer, Varga couldn't hide her disappointment. She calmly said, "Since you've made your decision, Connor, then go find someone else. I'm sorry, Connor, I can't help you with this!"

After speaking, Varga turned and left Connor's side, returning to her own room. Seeing Margaret's room door locked, Connor, while understanding Varga's choice, couldn't help feeling a little disappointed...

Although Connor could find several apothecaries to concoct potions for Margaret, there was no doubt that in terms of potion-making skills, even if all of them were combined, they would still be a level below Varga! Even if they were to concoct potions, Connor had absolutely no confidence in the effectiveness of the potions they produced on Margaret's body!

To be honest, Connor originally wanted Varga to help him, not for Margaret, but to accompany him to the town of Saspede to meet the "Blood Moon Overlord" Philo!

Connor's original plan to deal with Firo was for him to take the lead, with Margaret assisting him, so that the two of them could defeat Firo in a two-on-one fight. However, due to her physical condition, Margaret is naturally unable to fight now. But it should be noted that Margaret is not the only formal wizard by Connor's side. Varga has successfully broken through and stabilized her realm. If a battle really breaks out, she is fully capable of fighting!

However, considering that Varga has just broken through to become a formal wizard, and given her background as an apothecary, she's bound to be somewhat adept at combat. For her first battle as a formal wizard to encounter such a formidable opponent as Firo carries considerable risk…

Furthermore, the thought that Varga would be heartbroken if she knew that he had put Margaret in danger for her sake made Connor reluctant to ask her for help. He only wanted Varga to help him concoct a potion for Margaret. Unfortunately, Connor underestimated Varga's prejudice against Margaret.

After a moment of contemplation, Connor spoke to Varga through the door, "I'm going out for a few days to take care of some business. By the time I return, Arbeloa should have already figured out the situation of our family. Then I'll take over the family and bring you back!"

After saying that, Connor seemed to remember something, took out a spatial ring from his person, and continued, "Valga, this spatial ring contains ten thousand magic stones, as well as blueprints for some enchanted items I'm preparing to craft for you. Take a look and see which one suits you best. I'll explain it to you in detail when I return after I've finished my business!"

After speaking, Connor placed the spatial ring on the table. He glanced around the room, then turned and left. However, to Connor's surprise, just seconds after he left, Varga opened the door and, through the glass window, watched him walk out of the Fati Hotel with a complex expression…
