After hearing everything from Marguerite, Connor fell into deep thought.
According to Marguerite, Wang Jue's faction had ordered the Moro Union to send people to attack him in order to force Reyes out of hiding.
Now, Southgate and Bisping, the two trusted subordinates of Professor, had attacked the Moro Union. Obviously, the two of them had been ordered to do so by Reyes!
Although Connor didn't want to admit it, he knew that people would inevitably think that Reyes had attacked the Moro Union to avenge him. Although he didn't do it himself, since he had arranged for Bisping and Southgate to do it, it could be said that Wang Jue's faction had achieved their goal of forcing Reyes out of hiding!
Before Connor had time to think about it, he sensed that Marguerite was looking at him with a meaningful gaze. Although she didn't say anything, Connor obviously understood the meaning behind her gaze. He shook his head at Marguerite, then said helplessly, "I really don't have any contact with Reyes. To be honest, I haven't seen my teacher for almost ten years since we parted ways in Loen …"
When Connor said this, he and Marguerite's attention were focused on each other. Neither of them noticed the subtle change in Varga's beautiful eyes.
Seeing that Connor didn't seem to be lying, Marguerite still had some doubts in her heart, but she still nodded, indicating to Connor that she believed him.
After telling them about this matter, the three of them talked about other things in the cave. Marguerite quietly left the cave again, leaving only Connor and Varga in the cave.
"Connor, I have something to tell you!"
After hesitating for a moment, Varga looked at Connor and said very seriously, "Don't worry.
Looking at the serious expression on Varga's beautiful face, Connor was a little surprised. He then nodded, indicating for Varga to continue.
After receiving Connor's signal, Varga took out a palm-sized white jade box from her space ring and showed it to Connor. She then said, "Connor, do you still remember that before you were attacked by Diego Lopez, I wanted to talk to you about something?"
Hearing Marguerite's words, Connor was stunned at first. He then remembered that that day, Varga had asked him to talk about something at Ferguson Manor. He had been attacked by Diego Lopez on his way to Ferguson Manor. After that, because he had been seriously injured by Diego Lopez, he had focused all his attention on healing his injuries and had forgotten about the matter that Varga wanted to talk to him about.
Thinking of this, Connor's attention couldn't help but focus on the white jade box in Varga's hand. If he guessed correctly, the matter that Varga was talking about should have something to do with this white jade box.
Seeing that Connor finally understood, Varga handed the white jade box to Connor and said, "A few days ago, when I was collecting magic potions in the black markets of the surrounding cities, a wizard came to Ferguson Manor. He didn't trigger the restriction you left behind, so he left this thing in the freezer where I stored my magic potions. When I discovered the existence of this white jade box, I immediately asked you to meet me."
Connor, who had already taken the white jade box from Varga's hand, immediately looked at the white jade box with a grave expression. If Marguerite was right, there were only two possibilities for someone to enter Ferguson Manor without triggering the restriction he had left behind.
The first possibility was that the person who had come had a very high cultivation level and was very knowledgeable in alchemy. The restriction that Connor had set up couldn't be hidden from his eyes. That was why he had been able to sneak the jade box into Ferguson Manor without triggering the restriction that Connor had set up.
The second possibility was that the person's cultivation level wasn't low. He was at least an official wizard, but he was very familiar with the restriction that Connor had set up. That was why he was able to sneak into Ferguson Manor and leave this white jade box without triggering the restriction that Connor had set up.
However, ever since Reyes inherited alchemy, Connor had always kept it to himself. He had never taught anyone his alchemy, so it was impossible for anyone to be familiar with the restriction that Connor had set up. However, Connor's alchemy was inherited from Reyes. If someone was familiar with Reyes's Alchemy, or had received guidance from Reyes, then they might be able to sneak into Ferguson Manor without triggering the restriction.
Of course, no matter what the final result was, it would undoubtedly be very troublesome for Connor.
After carefully inspecting the palm-sized white jade box for a while, Connor had an answer in his heart. He hesitated for a while, then gently pressed his finger on the surface of the jade box according to a certain pattern. Under Connor's pressure, the originally calm jade box suddenly shone with colorful light. Varga, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
A few seconds later, the light on the jade box reached its peak. With a crisp sound, the jade box suddenly split into four pieces, revealing a letter inside.
"This is …?"
Looking at the letter in the jade box, Varga said in surprise.
"Reyes!"
After saying that, Connor stretched out his hand, and the letter immediately flew into his hand. This jade box was refined with Reyes's unique alchemy skills, so it was self-evident who sent the letter hidden in the jade box.
Under Varga's gaze, Connor opened the letter and took out the letter. However, after just one glance, Connor frowned.
Seeing Connor's expression, Varga was also very curious about the letter sent by Reyes. At this moment, Connor, who had only read the letter for ten seconds, unexpectedly put it down and frowned.
"Connor, what did Reyes say to you?" Varga couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked Connor.
Hearing Varga's question, Connor didn't say anything. He only handed the letter to Varga. After taking the letter, Varga's pretty face was also filled with astonishment.
This letter, which was placed in a jade box by Reyes and secretly sent to Ferguson's Mansion, was actually blank. There was nothing written on it!
