Wizard Earl

"The Church of Storms never wanted to cooperate with a dark wizard like me. They just wanted to use me to deal with Reyes. I learned a lot on this trip. Reyes is involved in the royal succession issue, and the Church of Storms is determined to kill him this time!" Connor said in a low voice.

"Royal succession?" A hint of doubt flashed in Varga's beautiful eyes as she asked Connor, somewhat puzzled.

Under Varga's questioning gaze, Connor nodded and recounted to Varga the information he had obtained from Margaret in detail.

After hearing Connor's story, Varga, like Connor when he first heard it from Margaret, fell silent. After a long silence, Varga, having processed the information, finally recovered from her shock and asked Connor, "Connor, how can I help you?"

"It's simple. I need Margaret to get information about the Storm Church. This information will help me understand the situation inside the Storm Church more clearly and in detail. However, I will probably be under constant surveillance by the Storm Church and will not be able to meet with Margaret, so..." At this point, Connor looked at Varga in his arms with a questioning gaze.

"So, Connor, you plan to have me make contact with Margaret for you and get information from her?" Varga asked, realizing Connor's intentions.

"Yes, this is very important, and I need someone that both Margaret and I can trust to do it!" Connor nodded and said.

"Can Margaret trust me?" Varga thought for a few seconds, then said with some doubt:

"Of course! Although your relationship might not be very harmonious, Varga, you are not unfamiliar with Margaret, you know each other's identities, and you even saved her life back in Rune!"

"Although Margaret hasn't explicitly stated that you saved Varga's life, she still remembers it. And most importantly, Margaret is a priestess of the Church of Storms; contacting you would be a great risk for her. So if she didn't trust you, she definitely wouldn't have contacted you this time," Connor said earnestly to Varga.

In two days, Connor will meet with Christant. Although Connor took the initiative to suggest the meeting, he knows that even if he hadn't, Christant wouldn't have let him off the hook and would have definitely come looking for him. So he might as well take the initiative and at least gain some control.

Although they haven't met yet, Connor already has a rough idea of ​​the outcome of this meeting with Christant. After this meeting, he realizes that he can no longer delay in dealing with Reyes in the face of the pressure from the Church of Storms. He must take concrete actions to show Christant and the Church of Storms behind him.

Therefore, Connor will likely spend most of his time and energy dealing with them in the coming period. The Storm Church will also keep a close eye on Connor to prevent him from betraying them. So, under these circumstances, obtaining information about Margaret to understand the internal dynamics of the Storm Church is of paramount importance to Connor!

"Connor, how did you know Margaret contacted me?" Margaret asked Connor with some confusion. She immediately realized what she was doing and, a little jealous, asked Connor again, "You met with Margaret?"

Although Varga's words sounded like a question, her tone clearly indicated that she was convinced that Connor had met with Margaret behind her back.

Connor, feeling guilty, did not refute Varga's question, but simply smiled awkwardly, which was taken as an admission.

Seeing Connor's attitude, Varga glared at him resentfully, but because she had already made an agreement with Connor regarding this matter, she couldn't say anything more. After thinking for a while, Varga said irritably, "Fine, I have no problem with this, I just don't know what that woman thinks!"

Seeing that Varga had agreed, Connor's angular face broke into a smile as he said, "Varga, don't worry. Margaret, like you, is a sensible person and would never make things difficult for you at such a crucial moment!"

Varga was even more annoyed by Connor's words. She glared at him again and said helplessly, "I hope so..."

Time flew by as Connor busied himself with preparations. Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day arrived for Connor to meet Christant. Connor arrived early and booked a private room at the Killian Tavern, the meeting place, waiting for Christant's arrival.

Connor was probably a bit early; Christant arrived at Killian's Tavern an hour after him, finally standing before Connor.

"Mr. Christant, it's a pleasure to meet you here. This tavern is quite unique in Frosinone, and some of the local dishes are quite authentic. I wonder what you'd like to eat, Mr. Christant?" Connor said with a smile, handing the tavern's menu to Christant.

During his last meeting with Christant, Connor chose a suitable strategy based on the information he had at the time. Now, with more information at his disposal, Connor naturally needs to change his strategy towards Christant!

Even the experienced Christant was momentarily bewildered by Connor's abrupt change in attitude, unsure of Connor's intentions. Frowning and hesitating for a few seconds, Christant made his decision. He took the menu Connor offered, but instead of ordering, he placed it aside and said casually to Connor, "I'm here to discuss business. As for dinner, let's skip it!"

Although his enthusiasm was met with a cold shoulder from Christant, Connor showed no embarrassment and continued to smile, saying, "Very well, then, Mr. Christant, how do you intend for me to cooperate with you?"

Upon hearing Connor's words, Christant's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly, "Philo told me that he has already revealed his plan to you!"
