However, Elena was severely injured by Reyes. Even her level-3 magic item, the Violent Frost Staff, was severely damaged. To be honest, in Connor's eyes, Elena couldn't even survive in Flosinone, let alone deal with Reyes!
Therefore, now that Elena couldn't deal with Reyes, Connor and Elena didn't have a common enemy. Therefore, Connor and Elena didn't have a basis to cooperate. Connor didn't need to cooperate with Elena anymore …
If it was only because there was no need to cooperate, Connor wouldn't reject Marguerite's suggestion. After all, in a sense, helping Elena was helping Marguerite. Even if there was no need to help, it wasn't a big deal for Connor to lend a hand and help Elena!
However, the problem now was that Hummels was here!
According to Marguerite, Elena's number one confidant, Hummels most likely came to Flosinone to deal with Elena. Hummels wanted to get rid of Elena, who was the biggest threat to him becoming the next Pope of the Church of the Storm. Therefore, Elena didn't dare to look for the alchemists she knew. She was afraid that Hummels would follow the vine and find the melon. Therefore, Elena turned her attention to Rhode.
After listening to Marguerite's story, Connor was speechless. Although he admired Elena for being so calculative, Connor wanted to greet Elena's ancestors more.
Are you afraid that Hummels will follow the vine and find the melon? Am I not afraid?
Hummels was going to deal with Elena. If Rhode went to repair Elena's Violent Frost Staff and help her recover her strength, wouldn't that be the same as asking Hummels to kill him?
If Hummels wasn't in Flosinone, Connor might have done it for Marguerite. However, Hummels was in Flosinone now. It was impossible for him to hide the fact that he helped Elena to repair her Violent Frost Staff.
After all, he was the only official Alchemist in Flosinone, and he was the only one who had the ability to fix Elena's Blizzard Magic Staff. Therefore, if Humail heard that the Blizzard Magic Staff was being fixed, he would definitely think of Flosinone's existence.
Connor didn't need to think to know that once Hummels found out that he was helping Elena, he would have to bear the wrath of the most powerful and influential Cardinal of the Church of the Storm. Besides, Rhode was a Dark Wizard. Hummels didn't even need a decent excuse to deal with him.
Currently, Reyes alone was already enough to make Connor rack his brains and worry endlessly, not to mention the addition of Hummel, who was equally as powerful as Reyes!
In the Sorcerer World, it was best not to offend someone like Hummels. Even if he had to, he couldn't do it in front of Hummels.
What's more, Connor wasn't a loner who had enough to eat and didn't have to worry about his family. He still had Valga and the entire Ferguson family. If Hummels really wanted to deal with him, they would be his lifeline!
Therefore, to Connor, repairing Elena's Violent Frost Staff was a matter of great harm and no benefit. As long as one's brain wasn't filled with water, who would know what choice to make?
Although Connor had told Marguerite that he hadn't thought of a reason to help Elena after spending half an hour, in reality, Connor had already made his choice after listening to Marguerite's explanation. During that half an hour of silence, he was thinking of how to tactfully reject Marguerite's request and minimize the damage to his relationship with Marguerite.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. He and Marguerite parted on bad terms. Connor couldn't help but feel a slight headache at the thought. He shook his head and took out a gold pound note from his wallet. After placing it on the table, Connor quietly left the coffee shop without alerting anyone.

"Splash! Splash! "
Early in the morning, when Galliardini, who was tied to a wooden stake, was sleeping soundly, a bucket of cold water was suddenly poured on his head. Galliardini instantly woke up from his sleep.
Galliardini, who was dreaming of clapping with the young widow next door, subconsciously wanted to curse, but when he saw the fierce-looking strong man holding a bucket in front of him, he immediately closed his mouth. Not only that, but a flattering smile quickly appeared on his face.
At this moment, Galliardini was as humble as he could be, but he didn't care. For people like him, being alive was more important than anything else. Dignity was an unnecessary luxury for people like him.
The fierce-looking strong man didn't seem to be convinced by Galliardini's flattery. After giving Galliardini a threatening look, he silently retreated to a corner of the room.
Just as Galliardini was feeling a little puzzled and unsure of what to do next, the deep voice of Galliardini, who had posed the Heavenly Question, echoed in the dark room once again.
"Galliardini, your answer is quite honest. Now, I have another question for you. Do you know the name of the boss behind Marat Grigorian?"
Hearing this question, Galliardini's head immediately shook like a rattle drum, then he said with certainty, "I only know that this man is a very stylish old man with a walking stick and bodyguards. Marat Grigorian is very respectful to him, nodding and bowing to him from time to time and calling him Sir Ferguson. Other than that, I don't know anything else!"
After Galliardini finished, the voice remained silent for a few minutes. During these few minutes, the strong man who was standing in the corner of the room turned his fierce eyes to Galliardini. It seemed that he was eager to have a fight with Galliardini.
