"Martina didn't die?" Hearing that Martina had also reached a deal with Marguerite, Connor frowned in surprise.
If he didn't remember wrongly, that day on the beach, Martina's green arrow didn't manage to kill Old Victor. Seeing that the situation wasn't good, he abandoned Martina and escaped alone. Although Martina's reaction wasn't slow, she was still injured and her running speed wasn't fast enough. After being struck by Old Victor's golden light slash, she fell to the ground and lost her life. “
In Connor's eyes, Martina who was seriously injured at that time should have been dead after being struck by Old Victor's golden light slash. However, from Marguerite's words, he seemed to have underestimated Martina's ability. Not only did Martina not die in Old Victor's hands, she even clashed with Marguerite!
"Yes! She didn't die, but it was obvious that her body wasn't in good condition. Even if she survived, the chances of her breaking through to become an official Magus in this lifetime would be extremely small! "Marguerite nodded and said.
"Marguerite, what kind of deal did you make with Martina?" After hearing Marguerite's words and thinking about how Marguerite killed Old Victor, Connor understood that the reason why Marguerite could do so was because of Martina.
"What deal? It's very simple. I will let her go and let her escape to the new continent. In return, she will tell me what I want to know! "Marguerite pretended to be mysterious and winked at Connor.
Although he knew that Marguerite was purposely trying to arouse his interest, Connor had to admit that Marguerite had achieved her goal. He was really curious about what Marguerite knew from Martina's mouth.
Seeing that Connor's interest had been piqued, Marguerite didn't keep him in suspense and directly said, "Martina knows more than I thought. She told me about Old Victor's injuries, the characteristics of Old Victor's ability, and the place where he recuperated. It was all thanks to Martina's help that I was able to kill Old Victor!"
After hearing Marguerite's words, Connor nodded secretly and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes. He was right. Old Victor's death was definitely related to Martina. Old Victor's death was also very beneficial to Martina. With Old Victor's death, Reyes's most capable and loyal butler was also dead. The risk of Martina being discovered by the Secret Society in the New Continent, which was filled with all sorts of people!
"There are also some things about Varga!" After hesitating for a moment, Marguerite told Connor the truth. After that, Marguerite took out an oil painting from her space ring and handed it to Connor.
Looking at the portrait of Varga on the oil painting, Connor asked Marguerite in astonishment, "Did Martina give this to you?"
Hearing that, Marguerite nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "Yes, Martina gave this to me!"
Connor didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing Marguerite's answer. It seemed like Marguerite had done a lot of digging about Varga's existence in private as well …
Connor knew very well that the reason why Marguerite paid so much attention to Varga wasn't because of other reasons, but because of him. Therefore, Connor changed the topic and continued to ask Marguerite, "Did Martina tell you anything else?"
"Connor, is your mentor really that person from the Secret Society?" Marguerite hesitated for a while, then asked Connor with a serious expression.
Hearing that Varga mentioned "his mentor", Connor sighed in his heart. He knew that Marguerite had found out about this secret from Martina. When Marguerite had just woken up, she had said, "I'm afraid that your Secret Society and your mentor will take revenge on me!" Connor felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was extremely shocked!
The number two figure in the Secret Society, Professor Reyes, was Connor's mentor. It could be said that Professor Reyes was Connor's biggest secret. Even in the Secret Society, not many people knew about it. Only Old Victor, Martina, Varga, and a few others knew about it.
After being with Marguerite for so long, Connor had never once mentioned this to Marguerite! Connor wanted to keep it a secret. He knew very well that before he became an official Magus and had the ability to protect himself, it was better for fewer people to know that Reyes was his mentor. Connor didn't know about other enemies of Reyes, but he knew very well that once the Church of the Storm found out that he was Reyes's student, the official Magus of the Church would probably hunt him down!
Seeing that Connor remained silent, Marguerite, who thought that Connor didn't want to answer her question, naturally understood the stakes involved in her question. She understood Connor's choice very well, so she took the initiative to change the topic. "Martina also told me that before meeting me, she made a deal with you, Connor. She will tell you some things and you will let her go …"
"Professor, who is the second in command of the Secret Society in your eyes, is my mentor. Old Victor, who you want to kill, is his butler. I'm sorry, Margret, that's all I can tell you!" Connor suddenly broke the silence when Margret was about to continue, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Margret, but this is all I can tell you!"
Marguerite was a little surprised by Connor's sudden admission. She slowly concealed the shock in her eyes and said in a low voice, "Martina told me that Professor is your mentor and that Professor has a deep motive for you, Connor. She also told me to tell you not to worry. Although she has escaped, she will never tell anyone that you are Professor's student!"
"Martina also said that although the deal between you wasn't completed because of Old Victor's interruption, she has left Loen after all. So, she told me to tell you that the answer to the third matter between you is to complete the deal between you two. She also told me to remind you that the answer to the third matter is also her guess based on the information in her hands. There's no guarantee that it will be correct. Connor, you can choose to believe it or not. She won't force you!"
Hearing Varga's words, Connor was stunned. If he remembered correctly, the third matter of the deal between him and Martina was about what tricks Reyes had used in the "Abyss Secret Method" that he imparted to him!
