Wizard Earl

Although Connor could understand Butler Martinez's idea of ​​putting the family first, he couldn't tell Butler Martinez Varga's true identity right now. So Connor could only solemnly tell Butler Martinez that Varga becoming his wife would be entirely beneficial to the Ferguson family. Then he abruptly ended the topic and forbade Butler Martinez from discussing it further.

Although this might cause some complaints from Butler Martinez, Connor was certain that if Varga, that jealous little devil, found out about these things, she would do something outrageous. Therefore, for the sake of the Ferguson family's future and Butler Martinez's safety, Connor had no choice but to make this reluctant decision.

Connor patted Varga's small hand, which was massaging his temples, and whispered, "I know what to do. I won't alert the Church or the Ninth Bureau. I'll slowly kill them and make them regret everything they've done!"

Just as Connor finished speaking, and Varga was about to say something, a slight energy fluctuation suddenly emanated from Connor's body. Although the energy fluctuation was very weak, it was still detected by Varga, who was standing right next to Connor. Varga seemed to know what the energy fluctuation represented. She gave Connor an annoyed look, who looked embarrassed, and then turned and left, leaving Connor alone.

After Varga left, Connor took out the communication jade ring that Margaret had given him from his spatial ring, and then used his mental power to sense the information inside. A few seconds later, after sensing the information inside, a glint appeared in Connor's eyes. Then, without hesitation, Connor dressed and walked out of the house, heading towards the city of Frosinone.

Luxury private room on the second floor of the Smith Hotel in downtown Frosinone.

In the brightly lit room, Margaret, already possessing stunning beauty, appeared even more alluring in the candlelight. With a half-smile, she raised her glass to Connor, saying, "Connor, your Ferguson family's official letter has been submitted to the Empire. It won't be long before you inherit your father's title and become Earl Ferguson. Congratulations!"

"Of course, Connor also wants to congratulate the apothecary in your room; she's about to become a distinguished Imperial Countess!"

Sensing Margaret's sarcastic tone, Connor gave a wry smile, but he still raised his glass and clinked it against Margaret's, then said softly, "Thank you!"

After the two drank a glass of champagne, Margaret stopped talking and just looked at Connor with a smile.

Seeing Margaret's reaction, Connor touched his nose and spoke up, "Margaret, what does the Church think about me becoming Earl Ferguson?"

An hour ago, Margaret told Connor through the telepathic jade ring that the Church of Storms was preparing to send a special envoy to meet with him regarding his becoming Earl of Ferguson. Although Margaret did not tell Connor in the message what the church's envoy intended to discuss with him, Connor, knowing the gravity of the matter, did not dare to delay and immediately rushed from Ferguson Manor in the suburbs to meet with Margaret.

Upon hearing Connor's question, Margaret's smile slowly faded. She sighed and said with a hint of resentment, "Connor, you're really practical. We haven't been on a date for over a month, and the first thing you do when we meet is ask me about the church. You don't even care how I've been doing lately..."

Connor was somewhat surprised by Margaret's attitude. Looking at the resentment in Margaret's expression, Connor gradually realized that although he and Margaret had reached an agreement on his marriage to Varga, the matter still had a significant impact on Margaret at this moment. Realizing this, Connor's guilt towards Margaret resurfaced in his heart.

"According to regulations, if a formal wizard-level dark wizard appears in the jurisdiction of any of the Storm Church's churches, and this formal wizard is to reside permanently in the jurisdiction, then the bishop of the church in the jurisdiction will assess the danger posed by this dark wizard and submit the assessment report in writing to the church headquarters."

"This assessment report will determine many things. If the local bishop determines that this officially recognized black wizard in his jurisdiction is very dangerous and poses a threat to the secular world, then the church headquarters will send experts to deal with it. If the assessment report is positive, then this black wizard will be very lucky. As long as he does not do anything excessive, the church will tacitly acknowledge his existence."

"Connor, you fall into the second lucky category. The current Archbishop of the Church of Frosinone, Del Pizarro, isn't one to cause trouble. He's tacitly accepted your existence. However, because you, Connor, aren't hiding like other dark wizards, you're stepping into the limelight and inheriting your father's title to become the hereditary Earl of Ferguson, things have become complicated. The Church of Ferguson's policies towards ordinary dark wizards don't quite apply to you, Connor!"

"Because of your noble status, Del Pizarro didn't dare to make decisions on his own. So he gave the church headquarters a vague and ambiguous assessment report, passing the buck to the church headquarters. After receiving the assessment report, the church headquarters also attached great importance to it. After several high-ranking officials had a heated discussion, they reached a consensus that they would send someone to talk to you, Connor, to further determine the approach to you." As Connor felt guilty, Margaret told him what she knew.

Although Margaret's words didn't contain a lot of information, it took Connor a full minute to process them.

Raising his head again, Connor looked at Margaret and continued, "Margaret, do you know who from the Church of Storms will be meeting with me?"

Margaret didn't answer Connor's question immediately. Instead, she slowly took a sip of her champagne before, under Connor's gaze, she casually said, "I know!"

After saying "I know," Margaret didn't continue, but instead continued sipping her drink slowly, seemingly deliberately manipulating Connor...
