"Heh heh heh, Church of the Storm? The police department's special operations team? " As if she had been provoked by something, Margaret sneered when she heard these two names. Even her devastatingly beautiful face had faintly become somewhat distorted.
Secretly observing Marguerite's expression, Connor's suspicions rose. What could have happened to make Marguerite, the youngest confidant of Cardinal Elena in the history of the Church of the Storm, become like this?
Marguerite wasn't a simple person. After losing control of her emotions for a short while, she immediately adjusted her emotions. She didn't have the slightest intention of wasting words with Connor and coldly said to Connor, "Book me a first-class unregistered ticket on the Ivanka Cruise from the imperial capital in three days!"
Feeling Marguerite's somewhat commanding tone, Connor immediately sneered and said with some mockery, "I want to respectable Miss Marguerite, who do you think you are? And who do you think I am? "
Marguerite didn't have any reaction to Connor's mockery. She coldly swept her gaze over Connor and said, "I've investigated your Ferguson family. In the history of the Ferguson family, there has been a Magus, but it was a Fire Magus. And Connor, the advanced meditation technique that you practice, if I'm not wrong, should be of the spiritual force and the dark attribute. So your advanced meditation technique definitely didn't come from the Ferguson family!"
"The value of an advanced meditation technique doesn't need to be explained, right? Connor, you can practice an advanced meditation technique and also practice alchemy. That's enough to explain a lot! "After saying this, Marguerite looked deeply at Connor.
After Marguerite said this, Connor's face didn't show any signs of shock. On the contrary, he smiled and sat on the sofa. He gestured to Marguerite and said, "Continue. What else did you think of?"
Connor's indifference seemed to be beyond Marguerite's expectations. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but she still said very seriously, "Connor, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. I don't believe that you haven't sensed the smell of blood that is about to envelop Loen. Believe me, helping me is helping yourself!"
"Helping you is helping me?" After carefully pondering over the meaning of this sentence, Connor looked up at Marguerite and said, "Give me a reason to help you. Although it's difficult to get a first-class unregistered ticket on the Ivanka, I don't believe that you can't do it!"
"Of course I have a way to get a ticket, but the problem is that if I use this method, I will be discovered!" Marguerite spread her hands and a helpless expression appeared on her face. "As for why you want to help me, the reason is simple. This ticket is very important to me, and if I live well, it will be very beneficial to you, Connor. You are an alchemist, but you went to the Prosper Club to buy low-end alchemy materials. This means that you lack the source of alchemy materials, right?"
"Now that the Prosper Club is on an indefinite break, it must be very troublesome for you to obtain alchemy materials, right? You know my identity. I can provide you with alchemy materials from the Church of the Storm's storeroom. How about it? I'm still valuable to you, right? "Marguerite calmly analyzed.
Seeing that Marguerite was determined to get him, Connor wanted to reject her flatly, but he had to admit that Marguerite's analysis was correct. Alchemy materials were indeed a big worry for Connor.
Loen was clearly in a state of panic, as though a storm was brewing. Connor wanted to temporarily flee to avoid trouble, but Reyes didn't agree. Therefore, in order to better protect himself during this turbulent situation, Connor decided to temporarily flee to avoid trouble, but Reyes didn't agree. Increasing his strength was the most important thing, and Connor had just stepped into the Magus World not long ago. It wasn't realistic for him to suddenly become an intermediate Apprentice from a Beginner Apprentice, and there was also the risk of losing control. Therefore, there was only one way to increase his strength, and that was to obtain a magic artifact!
And if he wanted a magic artifact, everything else was easy, but he had to at least have alchemy materials, right?
After thinking carefully for a while, Connor gave his conditions in response to Marguerite's request. "Tell me your plans and objectives in full detail. If I find anything suspicious, then it's absolutely impossible!"
"No! Absolutely not! " Marguerite's reaction to Connor's conditions was very fierce, and she directly rejected them.
"Since we can't reach an agreement, then please leave, Miss Marguerite!" Connor said indifferently, and he picked up the cup on the tea table. He looked like he was sending her off!
"Connor! You … "Seeing that Connor's attitude was so firm and he didn't want to talk more, Marguerite's pretty face showed an angry expression for the first time.
"Dear Miss Marguerite, forgive me for being blunt, but the basis of our mutual trust is the Eye of Arbitration, and the scope of trust is only the spells that you and I practice. Now, you've put forward a request that has exceeded the scope of trust. To be honest, I don't trust you in this matter. I admit that your conditions are very tempting, but for my own safety, I have to know the cause and effect, and then assess the risks before I tell you whether I want to help you or not!" Looking at the unusually angry Marguerite, Connor said sincerely.
Hearing Connor's words, Marguerite's face turned pale. After a while, she said in a low voice, "I can't tell you the whole story, but I can tell you the general idea. Someone left me something on the Ivanka, and I want to get it back!"
Hearing that, Connor nodded and continued, "Marguerite, thank you for your trust in me. Can you tell me what you want to get on the Ivanka?"
Marguerite glared at Connor. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. However, Connor, who read her lips, had a strange expression on his face.
If he wasn't mistaken, Marguerite was talking about the blood sea urchin, which was a kind of rare creature native to the New World. It was a very effective medicine for treating blood diseases. If Marguerite wanted it, it meant that there was a possibility that something went wrong with her blood witchcraft.
Anyway, everything made sense now. Someone on the Ivanka gave Marguerite a blood sea urchin, and Marguerite wanted to get it. She could get a ticket from the Church of the Storm, but she definitely didn't want the church to know that she was on the Ivanka.
