After doing all this, Connor's expression finally relaxed. If he remembered correctly, the word "Warnes" displayed on the silver coin meant "ready to open" in Pedro's memory regarding the Church of the Storm's secret message.
At first glance, one might be confused as to why the Church of the Storm would send Pedro the message "ready to open".
But if one combined it with Pedro's mission of guarding the potion in the cellar, then the meaning of "ready to open" could be said to be very simple. It was obvious that the Church of the Storm was going to activate the potion that Pedro was guarding!
Although Marguerite did not explain in detail to Connor, Connor could clearly feel that the potion that was transported from the Church of the Storm to Flosinone was extremely important to Flosinone. It was not something that could be used just because someone gave an order!
If Connor's guess was correct, Elena had secretly sent a message to Marguerite to get Marguerite to retrieve the potion and treat her injuries. Then the person who gave Pedro the order to "prepare to open" was obviously not Elena, but someone else.
Then, who would have given Pedro the order to prepare the potion in the cellar when Cristante died in battle and Elena did not give the order?
Just as he pondered over this question, a name appeared in Connor's mind. It was the Church of the Storm's Cardinal — Humail!
As a person whose authority in the Church of the Storm was only below Pope Ilsank, Humail obviously had the authority to prepare the potion in the cellar. More importantly, when Marguerite received the secret message, Marguerite had already warned Connor and guessed that Humail had come to Flosinone. This was also why Connor immediately thought of Humail.
In addition to being able to receive orders from the Church, this silver coin engraved with the image of the Goddess of Storm also had some additional positioning functions.
Although it was not difficult for Connor to remove the positioning function in the silver coin, it was a pity that the Church of the Storm would discover that something was amiss if he removed this function. So, as an alchemist, Connor made a small modification to the positioning function. The positioning function of the silver coin still transmitted the location information of the factory, and did not completely remove the positioning function in the silver coin. Although this ensured that Connor could receive information from the Church of the Storm, it also brought a certain amount of risk to Connor.
And now, assuming that Connor's guess was right and that Humail had really given the order to prepare the potion in the cellar, it meant that someone would soon head to the cellar in an attempt to retrieve the potion.
And this also meant that after obtaining an empty cellar without a single potion, the Church of the Storm would be the first to come. Therefore, Connor's small modification would be discovered by the alchemists of the Church of the Storm. Then, within a few hours, the Church of the Storm would be able to determine Connor's true location. Without a doubt, when that time came, Connor and his Ferguson Family would be in big trouble!
This was also the reason why Connor made a prompt decision to crush the silver coin he had obtained with great difficulty and put it into the sealed black box. This black box was an alchemy tool that Connor had specially refined. It could isolate a lot of energy sources and was specially used to store sensitive things.
Although the positioning function of the silver coin was completely destroyed when the silver coin was crushed, if the alchemists of the Church of the Storm were skilled enough, they might be able to locate the location of the silver coins. Although the possibility of this happening was very low, because this forest was close to the Ferguson Manor, it would be easy for people to link it to him.
Therefore, Connor did not want to take the risk and chose the safe way to put the silver coins into the black box. This way, no matter how skilled the alchemists of the Church of the Storm were, they would not be able to find any clues.

In Flosinone, in the Garian Church of the Church of the Lord of Storms, in a room, there was a middle-aged man in a red robe without any decorations. He was very burly and had short silver-white hair. He was sitting on a chair in the middle of the room with his eyes closed.
"Come in!"
Without any warning, the middle-aged man, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke. His voice was very deep, and there was a sense of dignity to it even without being angry.
At this moment, Dezerby was standing outside the room and was about to knock on the door. After hearing the middle-aged man's order, he immediately opened the door respectfully and came in front of the middle-aged man who was sitting in the chair.
Although Dezerby was not familiar with the man in front of him and did not have much contact with him in the Church, he obviously had not heard of this man's personality. Therefore, he did not ask. After bowing to the middle-aged man, he opened his mouth and said, "Reporting to Lord Humyers, the batch of magic potions shipped from the headquarters has disappeared. Although the body of the apprentice who was in charge of guarding this batch of magic potions has not been found, it can be confirmed that he is dead. Davit Chilia has already started to investigate this matter!"
After hearing Dezerby's report, the middle-aged man who was sitting in the chair with his eyes closed was the most powerful person in the Church of the Storm under the Pope. He still did not open his eyes and looked at Dezerby. Instead, he calmly asked Dezerby who was standing respectfully in front of him, "When can this matter be investigated clearly?"
Although Humyers' voice did not have the slightest trace of emotion, nor did he have any intention of blaming Dezerby, when he heard this question, cold sweat involuntarily appeared on Dezerby's back.
After muttering to himself for a moment, Dezerby recalled that Humyers did not like to beat around the bush and hated the fact that his subordinates lied to him. His expression became more dignified. After hesitating for a second, he gritted his teeth and chose to be frank with Humyers. In a deep voice, he said, "Reporting to Lord Humyers, Davit Chilia and I have just gone to the scene. The sorcerer who took away this batch of magic potions is very experienced. There are no traces left at the scene at all, nor are there any valuable clues."
