Could it be that Firo was telling the truth?
After discovering that both of Milik's arms were in perfect condition, and there were no special energy waves coming from his body, Connor couldn't help but raise this question in his heart.
With this question in mind, Connor returned to his original position and began to meditate to recover while secretly sizing up Milik, who was meditating with his eyes closed not far away. In this slightly strange atmosphere, Connor, Milik, and Dezerby waited for the other Arbiters to scatter and escape amidst the sound of the unceasing flowing water of the small waterfall.
In the next hour, another two Arbiters with the cultivation of intermediate Apprentice Magi ran back to the small waterfall in a very sorry state, shaking off the pursuit of the Black-Blooded Foxbear.
Looking at the five Arbiters of the Church of the Storm beside him, Dezerby, who was in charge of leading the team, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. As an experienced veteran rank 1 Magus, he clearly understood that the golden time to shake off a magical beast like the Black-Blooded Foxbear was an hour. After an hour, the possibility of escaping from the Black-Blooded Foxbear's pursuit could only be described as minuscule.
When Flosinone followed him out, it was a full team of ten Arbiters! Now, only a few days had passed, and the team of ten Arbiters was left with only five Arbiters. They had lost half of their manpower. This could be said to be a very serious casualty in the Church of the Storm. Even though Dezerby was an official Magus and had a respected position in the Church of the Storm, if he were to return to the inner circle of the Church of the Storm with such results, he would definitely be severely punished by the higher-ups.
After waiting for another ten minutes, seeing that no one had returned, Milik opened his eyes from meditation and scanned the crowd. He spoke in a low voice, "They were just one step ahead of us and returned to the embrace of the Storm Goddess." After saying this, Milik immediately began to chant an incantation.
"Martini Kaku … Kurdba … Long Ankesta … Nesasa … Andrefusakotsi …"
Following Milik's incantation, all the Magi of the Church of the Storm, including Dezerby, began to chant. The low incantation filled the area around the small waterfall for a moment.
Although Connor wasn't a Sorcerer of the Church of the Lord of Storms and didn't know what the incantation the Sorcerers of the Church of the Lord of Storms were chanting, Connor could still clearly feel the sorrow contained in the low incantation. Clearly, this incantation was a spell used by the Church of the Lord of Storms to calm souls and summon spirits.
The incantation lasted for about three minutes. Milik, who had calmed the soul of the Arbiter of the Storm who had died in the hands of the black-blooded fox bear, swept his gaze over Connor and Dezerby, then said, "Now, I'll pass on an order to all of you. The Church of the Storm's first-class fugitive, Firo, is currently in the Navas Forest!"
"Cardinal Hummel has already given the order! All followers of the Church of the Storm are to pursue Firo with all their might. If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse! "
After saying this with murderous intent, Milik directly took out a circular crystal token with a red heart in the middle from his space ring!
Connor, who wasn't a Dark Magus of the Church of the Storm, didn't know what this crystal token was, but he noticed that Dezerby's expression didn't change at all after seeing this crystal token, but his hands were tightly clenched into fists. On the other hand, the few Arbiters beside Dezerby who were only Magi apprentices weren't as calm as Dezerby. After seeing this crystal token, all of their expressions changed. One of the Arbiters muttered to himself in a low voice, "This is the Cardinal's Storm Token …"
Although this Arbiter's voice was very soft, it still reached Connor's ears very clearly. Hearing this, Connor's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
According to some rumors in the Sorcerer World, every time the Church of the Storm gave birth to a Cardinal, who was second only to the Pope, the alchemists within the Church of the Storm would create a Storm Token according to the characteristics of their cultivation. This token symbolized the authority of the Cardinal in the Church of the Storm.
As it was tailor-made according to the characteristics of one's cultivation, every Storm token was unique. And after the Arch-Cardinal passed away, the Storm tokens were taken back by the Church.
It was rumored that this Storm Token not only symbolized the authority of the Red Cloaked Archbishop within the Church of the Lord of Storms, but it also had a great use. However, other than the upper echelons of the Church of the Lord of Storms, no one knew what it was used for.
And from Milik's words, the Storm Token he took out should be the exclusive Storm Token of Hummel, the Cardinal in the Church of the Storm who had the highest chance of succeeding the Pope. And Hummel actually handed over the Storm Token that symbolized his authority to Milik. It could be seen how much he trusted Milik.
Thinking of this, Connor couldn't help but quietly focus his attention on the Storm Token in Milik's hand. As an alchemist, Connor was naturally very curious about the Storm Token, which represented some kind of chill and contained some kind of unknown secret.
Looking at this Storm Token from the perspective of an alchemist, there was no doubt that the main material used to make this Storm Token was crystal. And from the feedback that Connor got from his spiritual perception, the crystal used to make this Storm Token wasn't an ordinary crystal. It seemed to be the most mysterious crystal in the Magus World, which contained the highest amount of energy — the Antique Crystal.
This small discovery made Connor a little excited. If he guessed correctly, this Storm Token that belonged to Hummel really had the Antique Crystal as its main material. Then it would be an eye-opener for him today!
The Antique Crystal was an alchemy material that stood at the top of the alchemy world. It was said that it was only produced on a mysterious island in the Ocean of Storms that was completely controlled by the Church of the Storm.
It was said that the Antique Crystal had only grown a little after a few hundred years. In addition, the mine was located deep under the sea. Not only was the mining environment extremely harsh and difficult, but the mining risk was also very high.
