Count of Wizards

"Hey, sir, do you have any change in your hand? I want to make a stagecoach, but I have full money in my hand. Can you exchange it with me?" Just as Connor walked out of Rand Street, he was about to When heading to his safe house in the North District, a fashionable woman with heavy makeup came over to Connor out of the blue and asked:

Hearing the woman's question, Connor, who was about to avoid the limelight, subconsciously became wary, and then secretly looked at the woman who greeted him in front of him. This woman was about twenty years old, and she was not bad. She is quite pretty, and she is also boldly dressed. At first glance, she looks like some special workers. Many pious men on the road are sneaking at her.

There is nothing wrong with this woman. Thinking that this was just an ordinary repayment of money, Connor didn't say a word. After waving at the woman to indicate that he didn't have any change, he was about to leave again, but to Connor's surprise, he just took a step. The woman actually posted it again, and said with a hint of coquettishness in her tone: "Sir, please help me, I really don't have any change in my wallet, do you think this is okay, I will give you a shilling, and you can find it for me." Tenpence will do, won't you?"

The woman's repeated pestering made Connor a little annoyed. Just when he was about to take his hand out of the woman's hand, Connor was stunned. He found that the woman's fingers were very covertly directed at him Aware of this situation, Connor narrowed his eyes immediately, hesitantly pulled his hand out of the woman's hand, then fished out ten penny coins from his wallet and handed it to the woman. Then he said coldly, "One shilling!"

After taking the ten coins from Connor, she achieved her goal. The woman who was acting like a baby with Connor immediately showed a disgusted expression on her face, and took out a crumpled The one-shilling bill she had just thrown into Connor’s arms, and then she turned around and walked towards the Bulletin Coach Station across the road. After taking a step or two, she still seemed a little puzzled, and spat hard on the ground , has shown contempt for Connor.

Connor didn't seem to care about women's contempt at all. He put the crumpled one-shilling bill in his arms properly, then smiled like a money fanatic on his face, and continued to walk along the front of the road.

Two hours later, Connor looked at the building in front of him that he had been to several times, raised his eyebrows, then triggered the restriction, and quietly entered the safe house belonging to the Loen Storm Church.

Although it was a bit unbelievable, Connor had to suspect that the woman he met two hours ago, with heavy makeup and suspected special worker, seemed to be someone he was very familiar with...

Just when Connor was about to reject the woman's request for money exchange, the meaningful look in his eyes made Connor change his attention. After getting the one shilling note from the woman, Connor found a random cafe, and then In the coffee shop, I studied the banknote. As Connor expected, the one-shilling banknote really had a mystery. On the banknote, an address was written in Byzantine in a special way, and this address It is where Connor is now. Margaret has been in the safe house of the Church of Storms that brought him several times. It is obvious that the woman has a relationship with Margaret just now, maybe she is...

After discovering this trick, Connor in the cafe spent half an hour thinking about it, and the answer after thinking about it was that he decided to trust Margaret once.

Although he decided to trust Margaret, Connor, who entered the safe house, checked the safe house from the inside to the outside for safety reasons. When Connor finished all this, he confirmed that the safe house itself had no After the problem, there was a slight energy fluctuation in the safe house again, and someone triggered the restriction of the safe house and wanted to enter the safe house.

Seeing the graceful figure of Margaret walking in through the door of the safe house, Connor secretly heaved a sigh of relief and went up to her. He was still a little worried that this was a trap aimed at him.

"What's going on now?" Walking in front of Margaret, Connor, who was not interested in fighting Margaret, asked Margaret straight to the point:

After giving Connor a blank stare, Margaret walked into the inner hall of the safe house on her own, and then said angrily to Connor, "Don't tell me Connor that you didn't think about it when you killed Mariano. The reason why I asked you to kill him!"

"But Margaret, you didn't tell me that killing him would cause such trouble!" Connor, who followed Margaret into the inner hall, said to Margaret word by word:

"Well, Connor, you are right, this is indeed a big trouble, but this big trouble is not your big trouble, nor my big trouble, but someone else's big trouble!" Blinking at Connor , Margaret seemed to have a deep smile and said:

"What do you mean?" Connor asked back, frowning. Although judging from Margaret's attitude and words, it seems that this matter will not involve himself and Margaret, but Connor still Want to find out what happened and what Margaret is planning!

"The Skull and Bones killer is a cover. In fact, it was Edel who wanted to kill me. Mariano was sent by him to kill me, so I had to do Mariano first, so in order to clear the relationship, I found Connor, you came to do this for me, and afterwards I framed this incident and blamed it on others, this is what happened, does Connor understand?" Margaret said lightly, her tone Although it was plain, there was a smug look on her charming face, obviously she was very satisfied with her own plan.

Speaking of Margaret's words, he listened to every word. Connor took a deep look at his collaborator in front of him, then raised two fingers and said, "Two questions!"

Margaret nodded with a smile and pointed to Connor, motioning for Connor to please speak.

"First of all, why didn't you tell me all about your plan and the reason for this matter from the very beginning? If that's the case, you know that I will not refuse your request to protect you. After all, I have done this for you. Alright?" Connor stared at Margaret and asked lightly:
