When the explosion happened last night, Connor had already suspected that Reyes was behind it, and Reyes's message during the day clearly proved it.
Connor was very satisfied that Reyes told him to take refuge in the safe house under the Sassuolo Port. The explosion of the Cathedral of Storm was obviously just the beginning and not the end. As the most unyielding Church of the Storm in the Kaman Empire, how could the Church of the Storm let it go so easily?
If Connor guessed correctly, the police and military police's city-wide search today was just a statement from the City Hall to express their support for the Church of the Storm. The truly powerful Church of the Storm's counterattack should still be coming later. If he didn't want to take advantage of the situation now, leaving was a good choice.
Quietly entering the Sassuolo Port, Connor found the warehouse where the safe house was located. He successfully passed through the secret passage and arrived in front of the bronze door that he had been to before.
Stroking the bronze door in front of him, Connor recalled the method of opening the door that his mentor Reyes had taught him on the transmission paper.
"Tap, tap, tap!"
Connor concentrated and knocked on the bronze door rhythmically with his right hand. When Professor Reyes finished his last knock, the huge bronze door didn't make a sound and silently opened a gap that could accommodate one person.
Without any hesitation, Connor immediately walked in and gradually closed the door according to the method that Reyes had taught him.
As Connor walked into the originally dark safe house, the gas lamps hanging on the wall bloomed with flames, covering the small safe house with a layer of orange light.
At this time, the safe house was empty except for Connor. But for some reason, standing in this safe house, Connor had a creepy feeling …
… ….
… ….
Just when Connor arrived at the safe house of the secret society, an important meeting was secretly held in a huge manor on the outskirts of the eastern part of Loen.
"Ms. Lena, has your intelligence department found the cause of the explosion of the Cathedral of Storm?" Seeing that no one in the room had the intention to speak first, Abidal, a God's Punisher of the Church of the Storm in the Mediterranean, had a flash of helplessness in his eyes. He then coughed softly and asked a graceful middle-aged blonde lady next to him.
Ms. Lena didn't seem surprised to hear that Abidal was the first to ask her. There was no trace of panic in her eyes. She immediately stood up and answered.
"Reporting to Sir Abidal, our intelligence department rushed to the cathedral as soon as the explosion happened. According to our careful investigation and the evidence we have, we believe that the reason for the explosion of the cathedral was that 300 tons of black gunpowder in the cathedral was ignited by a timer …"
"300 tons of black gunpowder … Hahaha …" Halfway through Ms. Lena's report to Abidal, there was a burst of sarcastic laughter in the originally silent room.
The laughter made Ms. Lena stop her report. She didn't turn around and said directly, "Captain Lucas, if you have any objections to the conclusion of our intelligence department, you can state it directly. There's no need to be so sarcastic!"
"Okay! If you want me to state it directly, I'll state it directly. If you say that someone put five kilograms of black gunpowder in the Cathedral of Storm, I'll believe it. But 300 tons? Do you think we're all three-year-old children, Ms. Lena? With the security of the Tempest Cathedral, don't even talk about three hundred tons of gunpowder. Even an official Magus wouldn't be able to sneak into the Tempest Cathedral! " The handsome young man in a blue formal suit, who was called Captain Lucas by Ms. Lena, questioned.
Facing Lucas's questioning, Ms. Lena did not panic at all. She said slowly, "Captain Lucas, please pay attention. I just said that the reason for the explosion of the Storm Cathedral was because 300 tons of black gunpowder was ignited and detonated with a timer. When did I say that these 300 tons of black gunpowder were secretly placed in the Storm Cathedral?"
After that, Ms. Lena ignored Captain Lucas's shocked expression and took out a leather bag from her dimensional ring and handed it to Abidal. She said solemnly, "This is the 17th secret order issued by His Holiness the Pope half a year ago. Because of the explosion of the cathedral yesterday, the original copy inside has been destroyed. This is a copy left by our intelligence department. The original copy has the signatures and seals of Cardinal Constantine and Cardinal Hummel from the headquarters."
"This order has two copies. Although the original copy of the order here has been destroyed, the headquarters must have the evidence! Now, Mr. God's Punisher, please take a look at the handwritten copy of this document. This document records in detail why the headquarters of the Cathedral of Storm secretly stored 300 tons of black gunpowder! "
As Ms. Lena said so, everyone in the room focused on the leather bag that Ms. Lena handed to Abidal. Abidal's eyes narrowed. He took the leather bag doubtfully and took out the document in front of everyone.
After a while, Abidal put the document back into the leather bag with a dignified expression. He pondered for a moment and said to everyone in the room, "I will personally confirm the contents of this document with Cardinal Hummel. The debate about the 300 tons of black gunpowder has come to an end. Ms. Lena, please continue the judgment of your intelligence department!"
Ms. Lena looked around. After glancing at everyone in the room, she said lightly, "As we all know, as one of the five cathedrals of the Church in the Empire, the Loen Cathedral of Storm has Leon's Magic Circle. It is basically impossible for a Level-2 Wizard to sneak into the Cathedral of Storm without being discovered. And the place where the black gunpowder is secretly stored is bound to be discovered even if a Level-2 Wizard sneaks in!"
"This morning, we checked the black box of the destroyed Divine Eye System. There is no abnormality in the data inside!"
"There are only three possibilities for such a situation. The first possibility is that if it was done by an outsider, then the person who sneaked into the cathedral is at least a Level-3 Wizard!"
"The second possibility is that the person who sneaked in is a Level-2 Wizard with a special magic item that can avoid detection by the Divine Eye System and Leon's Magic Circle!"
"The third possibility, I believe everyone should understand without me saying it …"
