The Eye of Arbitration! It was the solution to Connor's lack of trust in him and Marguerite!
The Eye of Arbitration was a powerful entity discovered by the powerful Byzantine Wizards from another plane during the Byzantine Era. It wasn't a life, but more like the law of the world. When Wizards signed important oaths, they would use the Eye of Arbitration as a witness.
As the law of the world, the Eye of Arbitration had a very strong binding force and was very strange. If one used it as a witness to sign an oath, they would definitely suffer a backlash from the Eye of Arbitration if they violated it.
Marguerite's vigilance and her strange Blood Witchcraft forced Connor to temporarily give up on his plan to attack and kill Marguerite.
Using the Eye of Arbitration to guarantee that he and Marguerite wouldn't betray each other was Connor's last stubborn and helpless compromise. After all, if the two of them couldn't reach an agreement, there would only be one outcome — a fight! Only one of them could survive in this house. After all, neither he nor Marguerite could accept leaving their fate and safety in each other's hands without any insurance!
Although they had the advantage of location and there were several alchemy mechanisms in the apartment, Connor wasn't sure if he would be the final winner. Even if he was lucky enough to be the one to survive, Connor didn't know what kind of heavy price he would have to pay.
Instead of being uncertain and full of unknowns, it was better to use a strong insurance to ensure that he and Marguerite wouldn't betray each other.
"The Eye of Arbitration?" Hearing Connor's suggestion, Marguerite couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a long time, she opened her cherry lips and spat out a word, "Okay!"
Seeing that Marguerite agreed to the Eye of Arbitration, a smile appeared on Connor's face. The spell he was preparing in his heart slowly stopped. If Marguerite's answer was no, then Connor would undoubtedly have already brazenly attacked and kept Marguerite here at all costs.
With the consensus that they didn't want to expose their identities and confirmed the solution of the Eye of Arbitration, Connor and Marguerite quickly finalized the content of the oath.
After looking at each other deeply, Connor and Marguerite stood facing each other and whispered an ancient incantation at the same time.
The incantation lasted for a full minute, and some kind of strange energy fluctuation appeared in the apartment. Then, a huge crack appeared in the space of the apartment, and a strange vertical eye squeezed out of the crack and appeared in front of Connor and Marguerite.
While continuing to chant the incantation with Marguerite, Connor narrowed his eyes and sized up the huge vertical eye in front of him. This vertical eye was white in color, and the pupil was golden. When this vertical eye appeared, although it didn't have any powerful pressure accompanying it, it gave Connor an invisible pressure, causing him to feel extremely depressed mentally.
"Under the witness of the Eye of Arbitration, I, Connor Ferguson, swear that under the premise that Marguerite Rodriguez doesn't betray me, I will never betray Marguerite Rodriguez. If I violate the oath, I am willing to accept the oath arbitration of the Eye of Arbitration!"
"Under the witness of the Eye of Arbitration, I, Marguerite Rodriguez, swear that under the premise that Connor Ferguson doesn't betray me, I will never betray Connor Ferguson. If I violate the oath, I am willing to accept the oath arbitration of the Eye of Arbitration!"
After saying the oath in unison with Marguerite, the Eye of Arbitration flashed a few times in succession, and then suddenly exploded, scattering bits of starlight that floated on Connor and Marguerite.
As the starlight entered his body, Connor could clearly feel the invisible binding of the oath on him. He shook his head, and the last trace of hope in his heart disappeared.
After the oath was made, Marguerite glanced at Connor. She looked like she didn't want to say anything more, and walked straight to the door.
"Miss Marguerite, please wait!" Standing in place, Connor said with a smile.
Hearing Connor's voice, Marguerite stopped and turned around to look at Connor with vigilance.
When they made the oath just now, the two of them tacitly didn't add the clause that they couldn't hurt each other. Not betraying each other didn't mean that they couldn't kill each other.
"Miss Marguerite, don't misunderstand. I don't mean anything else. If you want to leave now, I definitely won't stop you. With the oath of the Eye of Arbitration, I have absolute trust in Miss Marguerite!" Facing Marguerite's vigilant gaze, Connor smiled and waved his hand to explain, "But Miss Marguerite, aren't you curious how I found you?"
Hearing Connor's explanation, the vigilance in Marguerite's eyes eased a little. She hesitated for a moment, then walked back to the sofa and said coldly to Connor, "What do you want to say?"
"It's very simple. I feel that with the Eye of Arbitration as a foundation of trust, we can answer some questions that both of us are interested in!" Although Marguerite's tone was very cold, Connor still had a smile on his face when he spoke. His tone was gentle and unhurried.
"Very well, then let me ask you a question first. How did you discover my identity?" Miss Marguerite didn't have the slightest intention of being polite with Connor, and took the initiative to ask the question that interested her.
"Your voice! After we parted at Eivar Manor, your humble servant was completely infatuated with Miss. I didn't have any appetite, and my mind was filled with Miss' voice. Miss Marguerite, you reverted to your real voice just now, so I naturally recognized you! "Resisting the goosebumps all over his body, Connor pretended to be affectionate and said.
"Hmph, Connor, you're really hypocritical to the extreme. You didn't have any appetite for me, and you were completely infatuated with me? If I had revealed even the slightest flaw to you just now, wouldn't you have stabbed that magic artifact of yours into my heart without hesitation? "Miss Marguerite snorted disdainfully and mocked.
Even with Connor's thick skin, he didn't feel embarrassed when his true thoughts were seen through by Marguerite. He continued to look at Marguerite with a smile on his face.
"You also want to ask why I know your true identity, right? It doesn't matter if I tell you. You were already suspected by the church when you killed that Soul Worship Sect acolyte, Vidal. It's just that the church doesn't have the energy to pay attention to a small ant like you now that a storm is brewing! "Marguerite's tone carried a trace of pride as she mocked.
Although he was shocked by the content of Marguerite's words, Connor still maintained a calm appearance on the surface. He nodded with a smile and said, "The church discovered me? Looks like I'm very lucky to have a companion like Miss Marguerite at this time? Haha! "
