After listening to Margret's explanation, Kang Na immediately sensed the thorny situation and her expression turned grave. Margret's meaning was clear. She only knew that the potion was hidden in the Achilles Community, but she didn't know which house it was hidden under, or which tree it was hidden in. Marguerite, on the other hand, knew where the potions were hidden.
That would be troublesome. The Achilles Community was one of the largest communities in the city of Flosinone. It covered an area of a few hundred hectares and had a complete set of facilities. It had hundreds of residential buildings and tens of thousands of residents.
Therefore, to find a batch of potions in such a large area was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It might be an exaggeration, but it was definitely not an easy task.
After pondering for a while, Connor seemed to have thought of something. He immediately asked Marguerite, "Marguerite, didn't you say that this batch of potions needs to be stored in cold storage all day long? Is there a freezer or something like that in the Achilles Community? "
Before Connor could finish his sentence, Marguerite understood what Connor meant. However, Connor was disappointed. Marguerite shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "If it was that simple, I wouldn't be unable to find it. Although this batch of potions needs to be stored in cold storage all day long, the Church has placed each potion in a crystal box. Therefore, this batch of potions can be stored at room temperature and not in a freezer."
After hearing Marguerite's words, Connor immediately felt a little awkward. However, on second thought, although the crystal box wasn't a particularly good thing in the Wizard World, it was worth at least ten Magic Crystals.
Moreover, each crystal box was a single-use item. Each crystal box could only be used for three months at most. Therefore, the cost of using the crystal box wasn't cheap. The potions stored in the crystal box would definitely be expensive. Connor estimated that this batch of potions would be worth at least tens of thousands of Magic Crystals. Thinking of this, Connor began to look forward to this batch of potions from the Church of the Storm. … …
Connor and Marguerite were lost in their thoughts on the street. It was noon, and they hadn't eaten anything since they met yesterday. Connor held Marguerite's hand and said to the gloomy Marguerite, "Let's eat something and think about where the potions are while we eat. It's impossible for us to find the potions now."
Without waiting for Marguerite's reply, he pulled Marguerite towards a well-decorated restaurant named Uncle Giroux's Beer House. Although she didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Connor's decision, Marguerite thought that it would be better for them to have a meal together and relax since they couldn't think of anything now. With that thought in mind, Marguerite didn't reject Connor and accompanied him into Uncle Giroux's Beer House.
Since it was lunchtime and it was located in the Achilles Community Pedestrian Street, which was a prime location, there were a lot of people in the restaurant. Although they didn't know how good the food was, there were still a lot of people in the restaurant. There were only two empty seats in the corner.
"Waiter, give me a private room!" Connor scanned the restaurant's environment and said.
Hearing Connor's shout, the waiter who came over to greet the customer immediately showed an awkward expression, but before he could refuse, he saw Connor throw him a fivepenny coin.
Looking at the coin in his hand, the waiter hesitated for a moment, but when he was about to refuse, he saw the expressionless Connor toss him another five pence. Looking at the ten pence in his hand, which was enough for him to work for a week, the waiter finally made up his mind, and said to Connor respectfully, "Sir, please follow me."
Connor and Marguerite followed the waiter to a private room on the second floor. Connor casually ordered a few dishes, then told the waiter to leave. The waiter hesitated for a while, then said to Connor in a pleading tone, "Sir, this private room is reserved for VIP guests. Could you please hurry up?"
Hearing that, Connor was displeased, but Marguerite didn't want to cause more trouble, so she smiled and nodded at the waiter before Connor could say anything. "No problem, we'll do it as soon as possible."
Hearing Marguerite's promise, the waiter was grateful. He thanked Connor and Marguerite, then went to ask the kitchen to serve the dishes.
After the waiter left, Marguerite persuaded Connor in a low voice, "Alright, alright, we're in troubled times now. It's better to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Since Marguerite said that, Connor didn't say anything. He could only shake his head helplessly.
Uncle Jiro's Beer House was quite fast. Within 20 minutes, the dishes Connor ordered were delivered to Connor's table.
Connor and Margaret chatted as they enjoyed their meal. It didn't take long for them to finish their meal and pay the bill. Just as they were about to leave Jiro's Beer House, three muscular men suddenly strutted into the restaurant. They were all wearing casual clothes and looked like ordinary people. However, as a Spirit Adept, Connor could tell that they were Adepts with a single glance.
The leader of the three was a man with a buzz cut who wore a grey cotton robe. He was an advanced apprentice. The bald man and the mustache behind him were two intermediate apprentices.
Although Connor was a bit surprised to see these three apprentice adepts appear, he didn't find anything special about them after sizing them up. He'd just been advised by Margaret to avoid unnecessary trouble, so he didn't pay much attention to them. However, what made Connor a bit surprised was that Margaret seemed to have discovered something from these three people. She was sizing up these three people in a very covert manner.
"Marguerite, what's wrong?" Connor asked in a low voice.
Under Connor's gaze, Marguerite's eyes lit up. She then moved closer to Connor's ear and whispered, "I think I've found a clue about that batch of magic potions …"
