Bisping looked at the gentle smile on Reyes's face and sensed that Reyes was in a good mood. He hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to ask, "Professor, what should we do next?"
Reyes's smile faded a little when he heard Bisping's question. He calmly glanced at Bisping. Bisping instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Just as he was about to apologize to Reyes, Reyes slowly said, "Have you observed the movements of the Church's other forces in Flosinone?"
"Yes, I have. Other than a small number of arbitrators who went to warehouse number 3, the main forces of the Church are all biding their time in their original positions!" Bisping hurriedly replied.
Reyes raised his eyebrows at Bisping's answer. He sighed with emotion, "Cristante is quite capable. He actually knew what I wanted to do …"
As soon as Reyes finished speaking, Bisping seemed to have realized something from Reyes's lamentation. A hint of shock appeared in his eyes.
Reyes seemed to have sensed it as well. A smile appeared on his elegant and handsome face once again. He stood up from the recliner and said to Bisping, "Let's go to Southgate. He has just walked out of the laboratory. He should be bringing us good news!"
Reyes then led Bisping to the basement of the villa. There were all kinds of alchemy tools in the basement. A black and white fog with a pungent smell filled the air.
Reyes narrowed his eyes after observing the fog. The next second, an exhausted Southgate with bloodshot eyes walked out. He handed a black and white jade box to Reyes with a wry smile.
"Although there are still some small flaws, it has basically met your requirements, Professor." Southgate looked at the black and white jade box with a complicated expression.
Reyes took the jade box from Southgate and placed his hand on it. He narrowed his eyes and felt it. A few seconds later, he nodded with satisfaction. He then looked around at Bisping and Southgate and said calmly, "I think the two of you must be very curious about what exactly I want to do …"
Bisping and the exhausted Southgate both perked up after hearing Reyes's words. They focused their attention on Reyes and waited for Reyes to continue.
Under the gazes of Bisping and Southgate, Reyes said faintly, "Actually, it's nothing much. I just want to use this opportunity to try and break through to become a rank 3 Magus."
Bisping and Southgate were both stunned when they heard Reyes's words. They couldn't understand why Reyes would say that. Logically speaking, if Reyes wanted to break through, shouldn't he find a secluded place to recover from his injuries before bitterly cultivating? Why would he make such a big move in Flosinone?
Although he could sense the doubts in Bisping and Southgate's hearts, Reyes didn't seem to be interested in explaining the reason for his actions to them. He only said something that had a deeper meaning.
"I originally thought I understood it well enough, but only then did I realize that I was still far from it. I needed to personally experience the terror before I could transform into it."

… …
In the southern part of Flosinone, on the main road leading into the city, DiMazio Street, squads of armed soldiers had set up checkpoints and were inspecting the people coming and going on the road.
"Hello, this is a routine identity check. Please show me your documents!" A middle-aged officer in charge of the checkpoint inspection said to a young couple sitting in a carriage that was about to be inspected.
Hearing the officer's question, the young couple on the carriage looked at each other. Then, they didn't reject the officer's request. The young man took out two documents and handed them over. Then, he asked curiously, "Why do we have to enter the city all of a sudden? We didn't do this after we left Flosinone a while ago. "
The middle-aged officer checked the documents of the young couple and said casually, "The higher-ups didn't tell us why. They just want us to check the identity of the pedestrians."
After saying that, the middle-aged officer raised his head and looked at the well-dressed and elegant young couple in the carriage. Perhaps he felt that the other party was either wealthy or had a background, so the officer didn't question them further. He returned the documents to the other party and gave a military salute to the other party before saying, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
"Please keep your documents. Thank you for your cooperation!"
"Thank you for your service!"
The young man in the carriage took back the documents from the middle-aged officer and said politely. After that, he took off his hat and drove the carriage away from the checkpoint and towards the city of Flosinone.
After the carriage was three streets away from the checkpoint, the quiet young woman in the carriage suddenly said, "Connor, there are people from the church in the shop not far from the checkpoint!"
After hearing Marguerite's voice, Connor, who was driving the carriage, nodded slightly and said, "Two intermediate apprentices, one advanced apprentice, and one Eye of the Storm!"
"The Eye of the Storm?" Marguerite was surprised.
After saying that, she seemed to have understood something. She murmured, "No wonder the inspection was so lax. It turns out that the checkpoints were only a cover. The real purpose was to buy time for the Eye of the Storm to take effect."
"That's right. It seems like something happened in Flosinone when we weren't around!" Connor narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
Two days ago, in the Navas Forest, Connor decided to meet the youngest Red Cloaked Cardinal in the history of the Church of the Storm. He wanted to know what she wanted.
Since he had decided to meet Elena, Connor's original plan of returning to Flosinone with Dezerby was meaningless. Therefore, after a discussion with Marguerite, Connor didn't delay any further and rushed back.
