Connor's words were very effective on Valga. Just a second ago, she was still full of jealousy and resentment, but at this moment, the resentment in her eyes had mostly disappeared.
Seeing this, Connor couldn't help but feel relieved and rejoice! When Marguerite had rejected Varga's suggestion to kill Old Victor with him, he had expected this day to come. So, he had thought of this excuse a long time ago. His preparation was not in vain.
However, just when Connor thought he had passed this time, Varga's intelligence took over the high ground again. She looked at Connor again and asked, "Now that your female friend is almost fine, don't you think you should introduce her to me?"
"Erm … Varga, what do you want to know?" Hearing that Varga had turned her attention to Marguerite again, Connor complained in his heart again. His brain was working quickly to find a solution.
"Connor, you can tell me anything you want. I want to know everything about you and her!" Varga said to Connor with a smile. At the end, she added, "Connor, you better tell me yourself. Otherwise, if I find out in the future … Hmph!"
Connor smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "Varga, do you still remember the Prospering Club?"
"Yes, what about it?" Varga asked in confusion when Connor mentioned the underground wizard exchange. She clearly remembered that when she was selling potions at the Prospering Club, she was robbed. It was Connor who saved her. It was also then that she found out that Connor was also a wizard!
"When I was still an intermediate wizard apprentice, in order to earn cultivation resources and alchemy materials, I took some jobs to make alchemy items at the Prospering Club. That's how I met Marguerite! Later, Marguerite provided me with alchemy materials and some information about Loen. I made magic items for Marguerite. After we worked together for a long time, Marguerite knew about the conflict between Old Victor and me! "
"At the same time, I also found out that Marguerite actually knew that I was a member of the Secret Society. She got close to me because she wanted to know more about Old Victor. She had a blood feud with Old Victor, so she wanted to kill him for revenge. We had the same goal and benefits, so we were very close!" Connor told Varga the story between him and Marguerite.
What Connor said was the truth, and he didn't lie to Varga at all. He tried to use the one-sided truth to lead Varga to believe that he and Marguerite were only together because of benefits. Connor had to admit that he was a jerk. He couldn't choose between Marguerite and Varga, these two women who had been with him for a long time. He couldn't abandon either of them, so when Varga asked, Connor could only choose to avoid it and delay it.
Varga wasn't stupid. Although Connor deliberately led her to believe that he and Marguerite were only together because of benefits, based on Varga's understanding of Connor, he would never be so concerned and nervous because of a friend who benefited from him. She still remembered how Connor carried this woman into this safe house just now. Varga sized up Connor and asked, "It's that simple?"
"Of course!" Facing Varga's gaze, Connor looked back at him calmly.
"She's a wizard from the Church of the Storm?" After looking at Connor for a while, Varga turned his head to look at Marguerite, who was lying on the bed, and asked, "What do you think?"
Hearing Varga's question, Connor froze for a moment. Then, he instantly realized that in order to let Varga treat Marguerite, he had made a slip of the tongue and accidentally revealed Marguerite's identity. However, since he had just said "Marguerite is a wizard from the Church of the Storm", changing his words now would be too insulting to Varga's IQ. Therefore, Connor could only nod helplessly.
Varga looked at Connor and then at Marguerite who was lying on the bed. What surprised Connor was that Varga did not say anything more. Instead, he took out a bottle of potion from his space ring and handed it to Connor, saying, "When she wakes up later, remember to let her drink this!"
After Connor received the potion, Varga continued to say to Connor, "I'm going to rest for a while. Remember to call me if you have any questions!"
"En!" Connor nodded in response. Marguerite did not pursue the matter, which really surprised him.
After Varga left the room, only Connor and Marguerite were left in the room. Seeing that Marguerite's complexion had improved after the treatment, Connor's face unconsciously revealed a look of concern.
However, what Connor never expected was that under his gaze, Marguerite, who had been lying on the bed with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Connor.
Seeing that Marguerite had woken up, Connor's heart was shrouded in ecstasy. He wanted to say something, but before he could, Marguerite, who was lying on the bed, placed her index finger on her lips and gestured for him to speak softly.
Although he didn't know why Marguerite did this, Connor still obeyed Marguerite's instructions and whispered to Marguerite, "Marguerite, it's great that you can wake up!"
"She saved me?" After waking up, Marguerite still looked very weak. She also whispered to Connor, "I just woke up."
Upon hearing Marguerite mention Varga, Connor asked in surprise, "You just regained consciousness?"
Marguerite nodded, then slowly sat up from the bed. She scanned her surroundings and continued, "Where is this?"
"This is one of my safe houses in Loen. Don't worry, you're safe now!" Connor introduced to Marguerite. After that, Connor paused for a moment, then said to Marguerite in embarrassment, "Erm, Marguerite, there's something I need to tell you. I was a little anxious just now and told Varga that you're a warlock from the Church of the Storm. Varga was the doctor who treated you just now. But Marguerite, don't worry! I can guarantee that Varga will never betray you! I'm really sorry! "
Marguerite didn't seem to mind that Connor had revealed her identity to Varga. She just waved her hand and said softly to Connor, "It's fine! So be it. I'm leaving the Church anyway! "
