In addition, although Marguerite could contact Connor through Varga, to be honest, Marguerite trusted and distrusted Varga at the same time. The reason why she said this was because Marguerite believed in Varga's feelings for Connor. Varga wouldn't harm Connor, so Marguerite was willing to believe in Varga when it came to matters concerning Connor's interests.
But now that Elena wanted to meet Connor because it involved the internal strife of the Church of the Storm, and the matter was so confidential, Marguerite believed that Varga was a Dark Sorcerer from the Secret Society and wasn't trustworthy at all. Therefore, Marguerite insisted on going to the Navas Forest to meet Connor personally.
After making up her mind, Marguerite thought for a while, then found a pen and paper on the desk in the room and began to write at a rapid speed. After ten minutes, Marguerite stopped writing. Looking at her elegant handwriting on the letter, she nodded in satisfaction and blew on the ink that hadn't dried yet. Then, she put on her veil and coat, walked out of the room, and went to the street. She sent the letter to the post office and mailed it.
Although she had decided not to contact Connor through Varga, and she also wouldn't tell Varga that Elena wanted to meet Connor, according to the discussion before Connor left Flosinone, Marguerite had to discuss with Varga before making a decision if there were any changes after he left. Therefore, Marguerite felt that although there was no need to tell Varga the details, she should at least tell him that she was going to the Navas Forest to look for Connor.
After handing the letter to the post office, Marguerite, who didn't have any worries, immediately walked out of Flosinone City to the Navas Forest. Cristante must have started his operation by now. The sooner she arrived at the Navas Forest, the less danger Connor would face.
… …
… …
Connor, who still didn't know that he was involved in the internal strife of the Church of the Storm, was currently searching in the Navas Forest with Firo according to his plan.
Walking in a pine forest, Firo, who was walking to Connor's left, suddenly leaped onto a ten-meter-tall pine tree without any warning. It was unknown how old this pine tree was, but it had lived for an unknown number of years. From its vantage point, it looked into the distance.
Feeling Firo's movement, Connor immediately looked at him with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He didn't know what Firo was doing. Just when Connor was about to ask Firo about it, Firo, who was standing on the pine tree, took the initiative to explain to Connor, "I have a feeling that the place we're looking for is right in front of us!"
When he said this, Firo's expression didn't change at all. Although his tone was very calm and there wasn't any fluctuation in his emotions, Connor frowned slightly when his words fell into Connor's ears. He looked at Firo with some surprise.
After ambushing and killing Milik, Connor and Firo experienced a crisis of trust. Fortunately, at the critical moment, perhaps because Firo knew that he was no match for Connor, he swallowed his anger and didn't fight with Connor. However, the relationship between the two became tense. It seemed that the slightest spark was enough to ignite the flames in their hearts and cause them to fight.
Under such a sensitive atmosphere, Connor and Firo checked two suspected sites in the Navas Forest in four days. In those two sites, Connor and Firo didn't find anything, but they didn't find any clues related to the ruins.
As for now, Connor and Firo were heading to a place called Green Leaf Slope in the depths of the Navas Forest, three hundred miles away. Connor and Firo believed that this place was the third and last possible location of the ruins in the Navas Forest. If they still couldn't find the ruins at Green Leaf Slope, then all of Connor and Firo's plans regarding the ruins would officially be declared bankrupt.
Therefore, on the journey to Green Leaf Slope, the atmosphere between Connor and Firo was quite gloomy. Both of them knew that if they still couldn't find the ruins related to Reyes at Green Leaf Slope, the two of them shared a common interest. Then the Green Leaf Slope would become a small flame that ignited the accumulated conflicts between Connor and Firo. The two of them, who were originally cooperating with each other, would start a cruel fight in which only one of them could survive.
In such a situation where their cooperation was on the verge of bankruptcy, Firo suddenly told Connor that the place they were looking for was right in front of them. Let alone Connor, even other people would inevitably think that Firo had some tricks up his sleeve.
Standing on the pine tree, Firo saw Connor frowning and seemed to realize Connor's thoughts. He flew down from the pine tree and shook his head slightly at Connor. He said very frankly, "I know it's hard for you to believe me, Connor, but what I want to say is that I really have such a premonition."
"Do you still remember what I told you after we met for the first time? Did you tell me that my father was invited by Reyes to go to the mysterious ruins related to his rise? "
"Connor, I think you've already noticed that I lied to you about this matter. Given your teacher Reyes's personality and ability, why would he invite other people to go to the ruins related to his secrets?" Firo looked at Connor in front of him and said in a deep voice. He didn't seem to care that he had lied to Connor.
Connor, who didn't believe Firo's nonsense from the beginning, wasn't surprised when he heard Firo's words. He sized up Firo who was right in front of him. He knew that Firo would continue to speak.
Sure enough, he didn't disappoint Connor. Seeing that Connor didn't have any intention to speak, Firo continued, "Connor, although I lied to you about this matter, I didn't lie to you about my father's relationship with Reyes and the existence of the ruins."
"Although it might be a little embarrassing, I have to admit that my father is a very greedy person. Although Reyes took the Blood Moon Codex back from the inheritor of blood witchcraft, my father was never satisfied. He was always ambitious and wanted to obtain more benefits …" Firo recalled the past and said with melancholy.
