"Most importantly, Martina became a spy for the Duke's faction not because she was loyal to them, but because of the temptation of benefits. Now that Martina's identity has been exposed, and she's seriously injured, her potential to become an official Magus has greatly decreased. She's no longer of much use to the Duke's faction. This is also the reason why Martina fled to the Khoy Continent and didn't return to the Duke's faction!"
Hearing Connor's explanation, Varga nodded and no longer suspected that the appearance of the Duke's faction on the train was Martina's doing.
After hesitating for a moment, Varga asked Connor, "Connor, did the Duke's subordinates come to you to deal with your mentor?"
"Perhaps that's their plan. This is the first time we've met, so they didn't tell me much!" Connor said calmly.
As if thinking of something, Connor asked Varga, "Varga, have you heard of the name Isabella in the secret society?"
Back in the fishing village of Alavis, Martina had told Connor that she was the only one left from the Duke's faction in Loen. Before that, she had asked for help from the Duke's faction, and the Duke's faction had sent two advanced Magi apprentices who were adept at combination spells, the "Sabitz brothers", to Loen to support Martina. The Isabella that Connor had seen on the train was a woman, and obviously not the Sabitz brothers that Martina had mentioned. From this point of view, the identity of Isabella, who claimed to be from the Duke's faction, was still a little doubtful in Connor's eyes.
"Isabella?"
Hearing Connor mention this name, Varga's eyes seemed to flash with a hint of surprise, as if she was curious as to why Connor would mention this name.
"Varga, do you know her?" Seeing Varga's expression, Connor's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but ask again.
Varga sorted out his words and nodded, "About this woman, although I haven't seen her with my own eyes, I've heard of her in the secret society. It's said that she's an advanced Magi apprentice and is very beautiful. She has many suitors in the Duke's faction, but it's said that she's very close to the Duke's right-hand man, a rank 1 Magus, and there's even a rumor that she's Vermaelen's mistress!"
"Connor, how do you know about Isabella?" After telling Connor what he knew, Varga asked Connor curiously, "Isabella, the Duke's faction's faction's faction.
"The subordinate of the Duke that I just chased off the train called herself Isabella!" Connor's eyes flashed with slight surprise, choosing not to hide it from Varga.
Hearing Connor say that the person who contacted him on the train was actually Isabella, Varga's pretty face also showed slight surprise.
Touching Varga's tender face, Connor shrugged and said with a smile, "Get ready, since the Duke's faction can appear on the train to find me, then they might also know that the destination on our train ticket is Tunguska, and then appear at the train station in front of us. We're now only about ten kilometers away from Tunguska City. In order to prevent them from blocking us at the train station, we'll jump off the train later and walk to Tunguska!"
Seeing that Connor had already made arrangements, Varga nodded obediently. Although the speed of the trains in this era couldn't be compared to the high-speed trains on Earth, which could reach hundreds of kilometers per hour, it was only forty kilometers per hour. Even so, if an ordinary person jumped off the train at this speed, they would either die or be injured. Of course, for advanced Magi apprentices like Connor and Varga, there was basically no risk at all.

"You didn't discover them? Aren't you very sure that Connor and Varga's destination is Tunguska City? "
In the evening, in the most luxurious room of the Catherine Hotel in Tunguska City, Isabella, who was wearing a dark green veil, was scolding two men in grey robes not far away from her with a gloomy expression. They were in their thirties.
The two men who were being reprimanded by Isabella looked very similar, especially the two of them had a pair of very eye-catching hooked noses. The only difference between the two of them was that one of them had a black mole on the left side of his chin, while the other had a black mole on the right side of his chin. Other than the different positions of the mole, the two of them were almost identical in appearance and body shape.
Without a doubt, these two men were a pair of twin brothers. At this moment, the two brothers were standing there with a helpless look on their faces, accepting Isabella's scolding.
If Martina was in this room right now, she would definitely recognize the twin brothers in grey robes with hooked noses at first glance. They were the Sabitz brothers that the Duke's faction had sent to her as reinforcements. The one with the black mole on the left side of his chin was the older brother, while the one with the black mole on the right side of his chin was the younger brother, Sabitz Jr.
Facing Isabella's scolding, Sabitz Jr. seemed a little unconvinced. He raised his head and said to Isabella, "Miss Isabella, the pharmacist, Varga, who was with Connor, bought a train ticket at the Loen Train Station. His destination is this small town. The two of us don't know why Connor and Varga didn't get off at Tunguska Train Station. Perhaps something happened on the train …"
Before Sabitz Jr. could finish, his older brother, Sabitz Sr., who had a black mole on the left side of his chin, quickly interrupted his younger brother with a cold voice.
"Shut up!"
Hearing his big brother's order, Little Sabbiter, who had wanted to say something, shut his mouth. He was still unwilling to accept Isabella, but under his big brother's authority, he obediently kept his mouth shut.
After stopping his younger brother, Sabitz Sr. turned his head to look at Isabella who was staring at him coldly. He immediately bowed deeply to Isabella and said in a deep voice, "I'm very sorry, Miss Isabella! Please forgive my younger brother for offending you! "
Isabella ignored Sabitz Sr.'s bow and apology. She looked at Sabitz Jr. who was still unsatisfied. She said coldly, "Are you blaming me for alerting the enemy?"
Sabitz Jr. was about to say something when he felt his older brother's gaze. Although he was helpless, he could only bow ninety degrees to Isabella and say in a deep voice, "I wouldn't dare!"
