After ascertaining that there was nothing written on the letter, Valga shifted his attention to the letter itself. After carefully inspecting the letter, Valga couldn't discover anything and asked doubtfully, "That's right.
"Connor, what's going on?"
Hearing Varga's question, a touch of bitterness appeared on Connor's face. He then shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know what's going on either. The only thing I'm sure of is that this is just an ordinary letter. There's no alchemy on it …"
Varga's beautiful eyes were full of confusion. She subconsciously murmured in a low voice, "What does the professor mean by this?"
"I don't understand either … Maybe my teacher just wants to use this jade box to give me a warning!" Connor said indifferently.
"Varga, how many more days do I need to recover?" Connor thought for a while and asked seriously.
Varga rolled her eyes at Connor's question. She then said in annoyance, "Do you want to go out and fight with others again?"
"No! I want to leave. I want to leave Flosinone. "Under Varga's gaze, Connor was silent for a while before he said indifferently.
Connor's answer surprised Varga. She then hesitated for a while before she asked Connor softly, "Can you tell me the reason?"
"To be honest, I don't know why either. Maybe I'm scared. Besides, my injuries are so serious. Even if I stay with Flosinone, what can I do?" When he said this, Connor's expression was very calm, but his tone could not hide his loneliness.
Ever since he broke through to level 1 wizard, Connor was very confident. He thought that after becoming an official wizard, he could turn from a chess piece to a chess player. However, after coming to Flosinone, Connor deeply realized that things were not as simple as he thought. Even with the help of Varga and Marguerite, his two confidantes, the most he could do was to struggle for survival in the struggle between the major forces. Connor was already exhausted.
When he first came to Flosinone, Connor knew that it would be difficult for him to deal with Reyes alone. He wanted to borrow the power of Reyes's natural enemy, Wang Jue's faction, to fight against Reyes. However, Wang Jue's faction only wanted to stay out of it. Connor then wanted to borrow the power of the Church of the Storm to deal with Reyes.
However, compared to Wang Jue's faction, the Church of the Storm disappointed Connor even more. This group of trash actually allowed Reyes to plant so many spies. It was fine if they were not capable enough, but what made Connor almost despair was that in their hearts, they were all thinking about how to fight among themselves and how to kill their competitors. It was as if Professor Reyes of the Secret Society was just an insignificant character!
During this period of time in the underground palace in the Navas Forest and the attack by Diego Lopez, Connor constantly hovered between life and death. It was the last straw that broke the camel's back. He couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.
Sensing the helplessness and depression on Connor's face, Varga's heart ached for him. She gently leaned into Connor's arms, and the two of them stayed like this quietly for a while.
After a while, seeing that Connor's mood had improved, Varga asked in a low voice, "If we leave, what will happen to the Ferguson Family?"
"Let them elect an Earl Ferguson themselves. After all, the Ferguson Family is a hereditary Earl and has quite a bit of influence among the hereditary nobles. The Church of the Storm will more or less have some misgivings and won't do anything to them. As for Reyes, I don't think … Maybe I shouldn't have returned to Flosinone!" Connor stroked Varga's beautiful hair and sighed.
"Connor, don't say that. You've already done your best!" Varga comforted Connor.
… ….
… ….
"It's interesting."
In the hidden wooden house not far away from the Mensaka Manor, Elena, who had heard the conversation between Marguerite and Connor, said in a low voice with a faint smile.
Seeing Elena's attitude, Marguerite sighed and said faintly, "To be honest, after experiencing this incident, I'm not so sure whether Reyes really wants to harm Connor."
"Don't think too much. Reyes is a professor of the Secret Society. He's the person who turned the Church of the Storm upside down. If you can easily guess his thoughts, then you're really amazing, Marguerite!" Seeing that Marguerite's mood was not quite right, Elena comforted her.
"Sister Elena, what do you think now?" After listening to Elena's comforting words, Marguerite pondered for a while and asked again.
"What I think isn't important. What's important is what others think!" Elena looked at Marguerite and said meaningfully.
As soon as Elena said this, Marguerite's heart skipped a beat. She asked tentatively, "What does someone want to do to Connor?"
In response to Marguerite's question, Elena did not give a direct answer. Instead, she said calmly, "Reyes is involved with many people in the Wizard World. The number of friends and supporters he has is the same as the number of people who want to get rid of him …"
"Of course it's fine if he's alone. After all, he's a top figure among level-2 wizards. Even if he meets a level-3 wizard, he can easily escape. These people can't do anything to Reyes, but they can deal with the people around Reyes. After all, these people don't have the same ability as Reyes. And as a professor of the Secret Society, Reyes's entire life is either launching or creating schemes. He doesn't have the energy to take care of the people around him."
"Therefore, in order to protect the people around him from harm, Reyes has to think of ways to protect them. For example, he has to establish this person as his enemy. This way, his enemies won't cause trouble for this person because of Reyes. By the time everyone realizes it, it's already too late. This person already has extraordinary strength, so it's very difficult to deal with him!"
After Elena finished speaking, Marguerite's expression became more and more unpleasant. It was obvious that Elena was talking about Connor Ferguson. Before, she could still defend Connor, but now she didn't know what to say.
