After pondering for a while in the safe house, Connor went out again. He wanted to take advantage of the time when the other members of the Selta Sect had not discovered Salah's death to secretly observe their stronghold. Then, he would report their location to the Secret Society and ask them to help him solve this problem. From Salah's memory, other than the leader, Lindelof, they also had an intermediate Apprentice Wizard. If he went alone, he would be outnumbered. It would be very dangerous. Therefore, after confirming their location, he would leave such a dangerous matter to the Secret Society.
Soon, Connor arrived at the stronghold of the Selta Sect in Salah's memory. It was a very hidden warehouse in the suburbs of the East End. However, to his surprise, the warehouse was pitch black from the outside, as if it had been burned. There was also a cordon at the entrance of the warehouse. A few uncles in their fifties or sixties were guarding there to prevent passersby from approaching the warehouse.
This situation really made Connor confused. "What the hell are the people of Selta Sect doing in the warehouse?" he wondered.
After thinking for a while, Connor put on his disguise and walked over with a smile. First, he handed a cigarette to an old man guarding the cordon and asked, "Uncle, what happened to this warehouse? Why is it burned like this?"
After taking the cigarette from Connor, the old man did not take any precautions. He slowly said to Connor, "I don't know what happened. I only know that this warehouse suddenly caught fire two days ago. The Metropolitan Police Department came to check it out and said that it was a fire caused by years of disrepair. Now, the owner of this warehouse has to deal with it himself!"
"Oh! That's it! What a pity for such a big warehouse! "Connor's eyes unconsciously narrowed as he pandered to the old man.
"That's right. Such a big warehouse must have cost at least a hundred gold pounds!" It was obvious that the old man really felt sorry for the warehouse.
After getting the information he wanted, Connor was still not at ease. He sneaked into the warehouse. However, the fire seemed to be very clean. There were no useful clues. Connor found nothing in the warehouse.
Instead of returning to his shelter, Connor sat in the carriage and began to think. In Salah's memory, Connor was the second most important person in the Celta Sect in Loen after Lindelof, an advanced Sorcerer's Apprentice. He was responsible for purchasing supplies for Lindelof and other Celta followers in the stronghold. The last time he left the stronghold was three days ago.
According to the uncle, a fire broke out in the stronghold one day after Salah left. Of course, Connor did not believe a word about the fire. There were only a few reasons why the warehouse was set on fire. The first was that Lindelof and the others in the warehouse were attacked, and Lindelof or the attacker cleaned up the scene. The second was that there was an accident. Lindelof and the others were forced to leave the warehouse and use the fire to cover their traces.
With too little useful information at hand, Connor did not continue to think about it. He now had to go to a place to get a letter. Today was the day he had agreed to receive the letter in the mailbox of Reyes' villa.
The carriage stopped in front of a cafe called "Mr. Desilio's Café". Connor paid the coachman and got off the carriage. He entered the café and casually ordered a cup of coffee. After drinking for a while, Connor walked to the place where newspapers and books were placed. He found a smelly and long "Carmen's Dictionary" in the most deserted area.
Opening the "Carmen's Dictionary", Connor saw an unopened letter lying inside as he had expected. He was very excited. Suppressing his excitement, Connor put the dictionary back in its original position. After drinking some more coffee, he paid the bill and left.
After returning to his safe house, Connor could not wait to open the letter. The letter was written in the secret language of the secret society. On the surface, it looked like a love letter, but after deciphering the secret language, the meaning was as follows.
"We have found the stronghold of the Selta Sect and started the operation two days ago. However, an intermediate Apprentice Sorcerer named Salah and an advanced Apprentice Sorcerer named Lindelof are still on the run. Lindelof was severely injured by us. We are currently continuing to search for them. Please protect yourself, sir!"
There were only a few dozen words, but Connor was half happy and half worried. He was happy that the secret society was really efficient. Without him telling them, they had already found the warehouse and killed the Selta Sect.
What worried him the most was that the leader of this group of Selta followers, the Advanced Sorcerer-Apprentice Lindelof, had escaped. Fortunately, this guy was now seriously injured. With his current strength, even if he had to face this Advanced Sorcerer-Apprentice one-on-one, Connor was confident that he could protect himself!
Thinking of this, Connor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. These days, the Selta Sect was like a fishbone stuck in his throat. For the sake of safety, he had been hiding all day long. Now, the only Selta Sect member left in Loen was the severely injured Lindelof. Perhaps he could relax a little. With the efficiency and ability of the secret society, Lindelof would not be able to hide in Loen for long.
Although the safe house was hidden and safe, it was only temporary. After carefully hiding the safe house, Connor was ready to return to his apartment. However, when Connor's carriage arrived at Lander Street, he ran into an "old friend".
"Young master Conner, where have you been these days? I've been looking for you for days!" Inspector Roderi said to Conner with an excited look.
"I've been staying at my friend's place for the past few days. Officer Roderi, are you looking for me because you've caught the thief who robbed my apartment?" Looking at Inspector Roderi's excited expression, Conner asked.
"Yes! Thanks to our hard work in the past few days, we've successfully caught the thieves who robbed your apartment. They're the Reintel brothers. They're famous thieves around Loen. This time, we've finally brought them to justice, but … The Reintel brothers have committed too many crimes. They'll definitely be hanged, but they don't have enough money to compensate for their crimes. So, I'm afraid that the loss of your apartment … "Inspector Roderi put away the excitement on his face and said with a bitter expression," I'm afraid that the damage to your apartment will be … "
