The Crystal of Antique was not only difficult to mine, but it was also very risky. Therefore, even if the person in charge of mining the Crystal of Antique was an official knight who was far more powerful than the average person, it was still impossible. The prerequisite for mining the Crystal of Antique was that the person in charge of mining had to be a wizard. Only a wizard could bring the Crystal of Antique back to the shore from such a deep place.
Although it was a prerequisite for a Magus to be the mining staff, it did not mean that every Magus could become a mining staff. After this prerequisite was met, the Magus still had to undergo strict professional training. Only one in ten could become a professional mining staff. Therefore, due to various reasons, the annual production of Antique crystals was extremely low.
The specific location of the source of Antique crystals was rumoured to be a top secret of the Church of the Storm. Even now, there was not a single trace of information about this source in the Magus World. From this, one could see how much importance the Church of the Storm placed on this matter.
Due to the high level of secrecy and strict control of the source, as well as some unknown reasons, this type of crystal that contained high purity energy was basically digested within the Church of the Storm. It was very rare for it to leak out.
Therefore, the outside world only knew that this type of crystal contained extremely high purity energy, but very few people knew its specific uses. As for Connor, he had only seen some records of this type of crystal in ancient books. This was the first time he had seen the real thing!
Apart from deducing that the main alchemical material of this Storm Token that belonged to Humail was Antique crystals, Connor could also confirm that the red dot in the middle of this Storm Token should be some kind of fire elemental alchemical material.
This discovery really made Connor feel a little strange. After all, as the Red Cloaked Archbishop of the Church of Storms, where more than 90% of the wizards cultivated storm energy, the appearance of a fire element alchemy material on the Storm Token, which symbolized his authority, was simply incomprehensible from the perspective that the Storm Token represented the authority of the Red Cloaked Archbishop.
Furthermore, the Storm Token was a specially refined item. According to the rumors, it was custom-made according to the Arch-Cardinal's cultivation characteristics. If that was the case, could it be inferred that Humail's cultivation was related to fire-elemental energy?
Just as Connor was feeling a little puzzled by his discovery, Milik showed the Storm Token in his hand to Dezerby. Then, he carefully put it away in his space ring like it was a treasure.
Although Milik took out the Storm Token that belonged to Humail to prove his words, the remaining five Adjudicators of the Church of the Storm beside Dezerby still did not make any statements. They all looked at Dezerby, the official Magus, with inquisitive gazes.
Although Humail, the Cardinal, had great power in the Church of the Storm, and was faintly showing signs of being the next Pope, as the saying went, "A county official is better than a local official." For these Adjudicators of the Church who only had the cultivation of a Sorcerer-Apprentice, Humail, as a Cardinal, was too high up. He was not someone that they, who worked at the bottom, could come into contact with.
These Adjudicators of the Church who worked for the Church knew of Humail, but Humail definitely did not know of their existence. On the contrary, although Dezerby did not have as much power as Humail, he was closer to them and seemed more practical. Therefore, before they carried out their orders, they had to first consult Dezerby's opinion and see what this old man's attitude was.
Seeing the reactions of these Adjudicators, although Milik did not say anything, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. Then, he looked at Dezerby. Under the gaze of almost everyone, Dezerby did not hesitate too much, nor did he question the authenticity of the Storm Token in Milik's hand. He raised his head and said to Milik,
"Milik, logically speaking, we have to carry out the orders of Red-robed Archbishop Humail, but you should know that we are carrying out a very important mission, which was also personally approved by Red-robed Archbishop Humail and given to Agency Blake to carry out. The priority level is also very high!"
Milik was obviously prepared for Dezerby's opinion. He smiled slightly, and said confidently, "Dezerby, you're right. The plan you are carrying out is indeed approved by Humail personally, so it has a very high priority. However, the mission given to you by the higher-ups is not in conflict with the operation that Archbishop Humail has ordered to kill Firo. In fact, it can even help you carry out this mission!"
At this point, Milik paused for a moment, and took a deep look at Dezerby. He then glanced at Connor, who was standing at the side and watching silently. He then said, "The plan this time is divided into two parts. One part will be completed by you, Dezerby, and the other part will be completed by me. The two parts complement each other and share the risks."
"Now that something has happened on my side, we can take advantage of this opportunity to capture Firo!" At this point, Milik confidently clenched his hands into fists, and continued, "Firo has always been scheming against Firo.
"Firo has always harbored ulterior motives. He kept the information he knew for a high price and refused to tell the Church the truth. If it weren't for the Church's mercy, we would've been able to pry open his mouth and obtain the information. Now, we can take advantage of this opportunity to capture Fei and dig out all the information he knows about the ruins related to Reyes!"
Although Milik's words were beautiful, and he appeared to be very confident, everyone, including Connor and Dezerby, were not stupid after hearing his far-fetched statement. They all understood that he was looking for them to pay the price for his treatment of Firo, and to make up for his mistake.
Although that was the truth, the Church of the Storm's token that symbolized Hummel's power was in Milik's hands. Although there was no explicit rule in the Church of the Storm that stated that the appearance of the token was equivalent to the presence of the Arch-Cardinal, under normal circumstances, the believers of the Church of the Storm would also respect the orders of the person holding the token out of respect and reverence for the Arch-Cardinal.
