Wizard Earl

Connor waved his hand and explained, "Margaret, don't get agitated. I'm not doubting the accuracy of your information. Firo is searching for the ruins hidden in the Navas Forest, so he'll definitely be wandering around Frosinone. I'm just wondering why he's in the town of Spal, and from what you've said, Firo seems to have had a fight with someone there!"

Margaret nodded, saying with absolute certainty, "I'm ninety percent certain that the battle scars in the town of Spal were caused by Philo. The reason I'm so sure is that there's a spell in blood magic that allows one to absorb the lifeblood of living beings to heal their injuries. However, while the healing effect is remarkable, it has significant side effects, and practitioners of blood magic rarely use it unless in a critical situation!"

"Based on the current information, although it's still unclear who Firo fought near the town of Spal, the fact that six people have gone missing in just three days strongly suggests that Firo is using magic to absorb the life essence of living beings to heal his injuries. The fact that he's absorbed the life essence of six people is quite significant, indicating that Firo's injuries are severe. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so recklessly absorbing the life essence of living beings to recover!"

Connor clearly agreed with Margaret's analysis. He nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked Margaret, "Margaret, what are you planning to do? Should I go to the town of Spal?"

"Not at the moment!" Margaret rejected Connor's suggestion without hesitation.

Margaret's clean and decisive refusal surprised Connor. After listening to Margaret explain the whole story, Connor originally thought that Margaret's purpose in asking him to meet today, besides telling him about what happened to the Ferguson family, was to have him go to the town of Spal to see if he could take the opportunity to kill Firo and obtain the complete Blood Witchcraft Codex. So, before Margaret could speak, Connor took the initiative to suggest it to her. But now it seems that Connor misunderstood Margaret's meaning.

Seeing the curiosity in Connor's eyes, Margaret smiled and said, "Connor, I know you mean well, but now the two major churches have sent a joint team to the town of Spal. Even if you go there, Connor, you won't have any good opportunities."

"Furthermore, Connor, you are registered and have files with both the Church of Storms and the Church of Earth God. Although they can turn a blind eye to your existence, Connor, it's best if you don't show up in front of them on your own initiative, and don't get involved in their actions in any way. This will not do you any harm, Connor or the Ferguson family!"

"I was just letting you know that Philo has reappeared, so Connor could be prepared. I have a feeling this time things aren't so simple..." At the end, Margaret's smile faded, and she asked Connor very seriously:

Margaret's words immediately reminded Connor of what Philo had told him in the forest about his grudges with Reyes. He said thoughtfully, "Margaret, are you saying that the attack on Philo was orchestrated by Reyes's men?"

"That's possible, but I have no evidence right now!" Margaret shook her head, then looked at Connor, who was frowning and seemed lost in thought. She blinked her beautiful eyes, gently kissed him on the cheek, and said goodbye, "I've said what I needed to say. I have to go now!"

Seeing that Margaret was about to leave, Connor immediately ended his thoughts and grabbed Varga's hand, saying, "My family's affairs can be handled at any time. If you're going to Spal to find Filo, remember to let me know, and I'll go with you!"

"Don't worry, I won't go to Spal Town. Although I've recovered a lot of strength, because the meditation technique is only a mid-level version of blood witchcraft, if I encounter Philo, my spell power will be severely restrained by him. I'd be lucky to be able to use half of my full strength. If I really encounter Philo, even if he's injured, I definitely won't be his match."

"Actually, I'm waiting for news from the church's joint team. The Earth God Church's official wizard Reina, who is leading the joint team this time, is a formidable character. Although he only broke through to become an official wizard seven or eight years ago, his strength is indeed very strong. He killed one of the Dark Beacon's official wizards in a one-on-one situation, plus several other high-level wizard apprentices who were assisting him. If Philo is still in Spal Town, there is a high probability that he will be captured!"

"If Philo falls into the hands of the Earth God Cult, I might have a chance to get the complete Blood Moon Codex from him!" Varga told Connor about her idea.

"Be careful!" Connor, who hadn't noticed anything wrong with Margaret's plan, nodded and instructed her.

Margaret returned Connor's sweet smile, removed the soundproof barrier, left the Calderon Clock Tower, and disappeared into the vast darkness of Frosinone.

A few days later, a very simple black carriage drove out of Ferguson's mansion in the Hoffenheim community of Frosinone. The strong and honest coachman drove the horses toward Ferguson's estate in the suburbs. Inside the carriage, the elderly butler Martinez was leaning wearily against his seat, leaning on his cane.

Although news of Jack Ferguson's failed suicide attempt had been circulating within the Ferguson family for several days, and news had been received from the doctor that Jack Ferguson had indeed ingested the poison Croton Fruit and was still not out of danger, Butler Martinez still remained skeptical about the matter.

Jack Ferguson was practically raised by Martinez, the butler who had served the Ferguson family for decades. Butler Martinez believed he understood Jack Ferguson's character very well. While Jack Ferguson was indeed concerned with his image, he feared death far more than anything else. After all, he was a wealthy man; wouldn't all that money be wasted if he died?
