After finding out where Firo was hiding, Connor exchanged some information with Marguerite before bidding farewell to Café Cagliari and returning to their respective residences.
Connor returned to Hotel Fati, which was located on Quebec Avenue. This hotel was one of the high-end hotels in Flosinone. Connor and Marguerite had been staying here for the past few days.
Varga, who had just finished his cultivation, noticed Connor's grave expression. He approached Connor and comforted him, "Connor, you are doing this for the sake of your family. I believe your family members will understand you."
Connor, who was thinking about how to deal with Firo, was a little surprised when he heard Valga's comforting words. However, he soon realized that his gloomy expression had made Valga think that he had killed Warren Ferguson. That was why Valga had come to comfort him.
In fact, even though Warrent Ferguson was indeed Conner's second uncle in terms of blood relations, it was a pity that Conner didn't have much of an impression of this second uncle of his. It was the first time that Conner had met him in the wooden house, so he naturally didn't have any feelings for him. Moreover, the reason for executing Warrent Ferguson was completely justified. Warrent Ferguson deserved to die for killing Jon Ferguson, an elder of the Conner Family.
Therefore, even though he had killed his second uncle with his own hands, Connor didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. In his eyes, Warren Ferguson was no different from the hundreds of vengeful spirits who had died in his hands. He wasn't worth wasting his feelings on.
Connor understood that Varga had misunderstood him, but he didn't intend to explain it to Varga. After all, if Varga knew that he was upset because of Marguerite, she would be upset for a few days.
Since that was the case, Connor might as well make the best of it. He squeezed out a smile on his solemn face, and gently scratched Valga's nose. "Don't worry, I'll adjust my emotions!" he said to Valga.
Varga nodded when he heard Connor's answer, but he still leaned against Connor to accompany him and enjoy the warmth of Varga's body. Even though it was a white lie, Connor still felt a little sorry for Varga.
Even though he felt sorry for Varga, Marguerite's condition was closely related to Marguerite's health, so Connor continued to think about his plan to go to Saspede to find Firo.
Although Connor had just promised Marguerite that he wouldn't act rashly and would take Marguerite to Saspede to find Firo, it was just a promise.
Although Marguerite's health didn't seem to be in danger yet, it was foreseeable that as long as Marguerite fought with someone, no matter what the result was, her health would definitely worsen. Therefore, for Marguerite's safety, Connor definitely couldn't take Marguerite to Saspede. As for the reason that Connor had promised Marguerite in Kagliari, it was only to comfort Varga and not make her worry.
Although Connor now knew why Marguerite was so anxious to get the Blood Moon Codex, Connor still insisted on his original opinion. He didn't think that Marguerite's plan to make a deal with Firo would work.
Although he hadn't come into contact with Firo, in Connor's eyes, Marguerite's plan to obtain the Blood Moon Codex from Firo through a deal was more feasible than Connor's plan to kill Firo and then use the Spirit Manipulation on him to obtain the Blood Moon Codex.
Moreover, even if Firo was willing to make a deal and sell the Blood Moon Codex, according to the principle of equivalent exchange in the Wizard World, he would ask for an astronomical price. Marguerite had consumed more than ninety percent of her cultivation resources to break through to become an official Wizard. She simply couldn't afford to pay such an astronomical price to Firo. Once the deal was made, the final price would undoubtedly be borne by Connor in place of Marguerite.
If in the end, Connor really needed to bear the cost for Marguerite, as a man, Connor naturally wouldn't run away from it. However, before that, Connor still wanted to try and see if he could make a deal with Firo without any capital. After all, the price would make Connor's heart ache just thinking about it.
After pondering for a long time, Connor's plan gradually became perfect. Shortly after, he mustered up his courage and whispered to Varga beside him, "Varga, there's something I'd like to ask you to do me a favor."
Hearing Connor's words, Varga, who was holding Connor's arm and leaning on Connor, seemed to have realized something. Her expression changed slightly, and she quickly moved closer to Connor's body, as if she was searching for something on Connor's body.
Seeing Varga's actions, Connor also seemed to have realized something. Although his expression didn't change much, he secretly became nervous. After meeting Marguerite in the Cagliari Café, Connor had cleaned his body and clothes in order to prevent Varga from sensing Marguerite's presence behind him on the way home.
However, although he had made preparations, Varga was still a pharmacist and was extremely sensitive to some clues. Therefore, Connor was still very worried that Marguerite would find some flaws on his body.
"Why would Connor use a Cleaning Spell on himself for no reason?" Varga, who had searched Connor's body for a full minute, found nothing. She pretended that nothing had happened and asked Connor, "What's wrong?"
Hearing Marguerite's question, Connor immediately understood that Marguerite had begun to suspect that he had met Marguerite. However, while Connor was thinking quickly about how to answer Varga's question, Varga didn't wait for him to explain and continued to speak as if nothing had happened.
"Connor, do you know? If you need my help, you'll never be so polite. You'll just tell me what it is! "
