Wizard Earl

When Connor saw that Varga had discovered his actions, he wasn't surprised. The location tracking of the enchanted item was two-way; he could track Varga, and Varga could track him. The tracking traces were not difficult to find on the enchanted item. In fact, Connor knew very well that Varga would soon discover his location tracking, but the fact that she came to him so quickly was still somewhat unexpected for Connor.

"Connor, why did you deliberately ask me if I went to buy potions when you knew I went to the Carlos Theater? You... don't trust me anymore, do you?" Seeing that Connor didn't speak, Varga asked him coldly. As she finished speaking, Varga couldn't control her emotions, her voice trembled slightly, and crystal tears slid down her face.

Sensing the sadness in Varga's voice, Connor pondered for a few seconds, then looked up at Varga and said, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have done that!"

Connor's reply was clearly not the answer Varga wanted. A sad smile appeared on her pretty face as she continued, "Even now, Connor, you still choose not to ask me why I went to the Carlos Theater..."

"Valga, I respect your choice. If you're willing to tell me, then you will naturally tell me. If you don't want to tell me, then there's no point in me asking!" Under Valga's resentful gaze, Connor shrugged and replied indifferently:

"Since Connor, you're so enlightened, why did you even bother testing me?"

Varga wiped away her tears, her face streaked with tears, and asked Connor with a cold smile. This was the reason she was so emotional; she couldn't accept Connor testing her. For lovers to be tested meant there was no absolute trust between them.

Connor fell silent at Varga's question. Though reluctant to admit it, he had to acknowledge that Varga was right. After arriving in this world, he was immediately confronted with a murder, followed by Reyes, a mentor with ulterior motives. From then on, suspicion became ingrained in him; he habitually held back from everyone, unable to fully trust anyone. Even though Varga was arguably the closest person to him in this world, Connor still harbored a sliver of wariness…

"snort!"

Seeing that Connor remained silent, Varga let out a cold snort, her resentment in her eyes becoming even more pronounced. Just when Connor thought that Varga would storm off in a fit of rage, Varga spoke up to explain to him, "The day after you left Frosinone, Adolf found me."

Hearing Varga's story, Connor was slightly surprised. However, upon closer reflection, although Adolf's search for Varga seemed somewhat unexpected, it made perfect sense. While the Secret Society didn't lack apothecaries, they had more than enough apothecaries like Varga, who was a formal wizard-level wizard. The Secret Society was willing to go to great lengths to recruit her!

Seeing Connor's thoughtful expression, Varga shook her head and said, "Connor, you're mistaken. Although Adolf came representing the First Duke, he didn't come to win me over. Instead, he came to..."

Margaret paused for a moment, but seeing Connor's questioning gaze, she finally made up her mind and said to Connor, "Adolf asked me to help him concoct a potion. His condition was very urgent at the time, but you were out on business, so I couldn't ask for your opinion."

"However, considering that you, Connor, have always wanted to unite with the Dukes' faction against Reyes, after careful consideration, in order to ease the tension between us and the Dukes' faction, I finally decided to agree to help Adolf. Just now at the Carlos Theater, I handed the potion to Adolf!"

After speaking, Varga glanced at Connor's facial expression, mustered her courage, and said to Connor, "Connor, you know that as a doctor, I have an obligation to protect the identities and medical conditions of my patients!"

Connor, having grasped the implication in Varga's words, was about to ask her who she was concocting the potion for and what its effects were when he was immediately taken aback. He seemed not to have expected Varga to preemptively shut him down. Looking at Varga's somewhat pleading eyes, Connor felt a pang of pity. Although he knew that Varga would definitely tell him the answer if he asked, Connor ultimately chose not to violate Varga's professional ethics as a healer. He simply nodded to Varga, indicating that he understood.

Seeing Connor nod, a surprised smile finally appeared on Varga's face. The reason she chose to lie to Connor's test was because she knew that if she told Connor the truth, given his personality, he would definitely ask her all sorts of questions, and she would not be able to refuse his inquiries. Therefore, Varga, who had a strong sense of medical ethics, was caught in a dilemma. So, under Connor's test, she hastily made a foolish decision.

Varga looked relieved after the explanation, but she seemed to have thought of something. However, given the situation just now, she didn't dare to ask Connor directly. She could only look at Connor cautiously, hesitating whether to start.

Seeing this, Connor naturally knew what Varga wanted to ask. He pondered for a moment and then said, "Before I left last time, I had Arbeloa begin preparations to find out the details of our family's people. He should have gained something by now. I'll go find him now!"

Upon hearing this, Varga's eyes lit up. Connor's promise to her was her greatest hope. Before Connor spoke, Varga was naturally worried that today's events would have a negative impact on their relationship, but Connor's words now reassured her.

"Okay! Come back soon!" Varga kissed Connor on the cheek and whispered in his ear:

After saying goodbye to Varga and leaving the Fati Hotel, Connor headed towards the Arbeloa family's house, his expression gradually darkening.

Varga's refusal to tell him who the potion was for, what its effects were, and that this matter was related to the Duke's faction, made Connor absolutely furious. For a fleeting moment, Connor even felt that Varga had betrayed him, and for a brief instant, he even considered postponing his plans to marry Varga...
