"You mean to say that the operation of this group of people who are good at dealing with Wraiths wasn't recorded? Could it be that it's a matter of authority? Marguerite, you don't have the authority to check the level of their operation? "Hearing Marguerite's statement, Connor thought for a moment and gave a hypothesis.
After carefully thinking about Connor's hypothesis, Marguerite finally shook her head and denied it. "I have Lady Elena's help, and I have the highest authority in the known Loen Church. What you said is possible, but the probability is not high!"
"You're very interested in this matter?" Connor looked at Marguerite and asked slowly. He didn't know why Marguerite was so concerned about this matter. The appearance of Wraiths should be a daily occurrence for the Church. Even if the losses were a little greater, Marguerite shouldn't be so careless.
Hearing Connor's question, Marguerite hesitated, but in the end, she shook her head and didn't say anything.
Connor didn't mind Marguerite's hesitation. Seeing that Marguerite didn't want to say anything more, he handed a list to Marguerite.
After receiving the list from Connor, Marguerite scanned it for a while and asked with a frown, "What do you need so many earth-elemental enchanted materials for?"
"Marguerite, I want to refine a simple alchemical item to detect minerals. Can you give me as many of the items on the list as possible within a week?" Connor wasn't surprised by Marguerite's doubts. He looked into Marguerite's eyes and seriously instructed, "Let's do it."
"Magic Stone Mine?" Marguerite was also a very smart person. She immediately thought of what Connor had hinted to her before and asked in a low voice with some anticipation, "Mmm, I might have discovered an Empire that hasn't been discovered yet.
"Yes, I may have found a magic stone mine that has not been discovered by the Church and the Empire. I want to go to Tunguska and find this magic stone mine. I need your help!" Since he had already decided to join forces with Marguerite, Connor didn't hide it from Marguerite. However, as usual, he didn't tell Marguerite where he was going.
"I want a share!" Although Connor had hinted to her before, now that she had received confirmation from Connor, Marguerite's eyes still revealed a look of excitement. If she found an undiscovered Magic Stone Mine, she estimated that all the resources she needed for her apprentice cultivation wouldn't be a problem. With her understanding of Connor, there was naturally a high probability that Connor would tell her with his cautious personality.
"Since I've told you, I naturally intend to cooperate with you. If everything goes well, you'll definitely get a share. Now, get me what I want. I only know the approximate location of this Magic Stone Mine. As for the exact location, I still need to investigate it on the spot!" Connor spoke very clearly. In order to get Marguerite to help him, he gave Marguerite a reassuring pill.
Waving the list in her hand, Marguerite said confidently, "I don't need a week. I can find everything in three days!"
"Very good! After you get it, put it in the same place! " A smile surfaced on Connor's face. He had always been very satisfied with Marguerite's efficiency.
Five minutes later, Connor, who had ended his secret meeting with Marguerite, smelled the faint fragrance that Marguerite had left in the apartment. His eyes flickered, and he immediately downed the red wine in his glass.
Connor found a map from his interspatial ring. The map was very precise, and from the markings on the map, it was Loen and its surrounding areas.
After taking out the map, Connor's attention immediately focused on the location of Loen's north district. He found a pencil out of nowhere and drew on the map while thinking.
After a moment, Connor ended his thoughts and looked at the dozen or so circles he had drawn on the map with a solemn gaze.
When Marguerite told him about the Wraiths, although he pretended not to care on the surface, Connor actually took it to heart. Of course, it wasn't because of Marguerite, but because …
"Judging from the map, there are as many as 11 villages that match the coordinates of a village in the northern suburbs given by Margaret!" Looking at the circle he had drawn on his map, Connor felt a headache coming on as he said, "That's right.
Shaking his head, Connor focused on the map again. He felt that he could find the answer from the map. Connor's efforts soon paid off. His gaze was completely attracted by a coordinate on the map. The name of the coordinate was "Lois Steel Factory."
If Connor remembered correctly, the Lois Steel Factory was controlled by the Valencia Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce owned 88% of the shares of the Lois Steel Factory.
The reason why the Lois Steel Factory attracted Connor's attention was not only because it was a factory controlled by the Valencia Chamber of Commerce. After all, there were dozens of factories controlled by the Valencia Chamber of Commerce in Loen, including seven steel factories. The real reason why Connor paid attention to the factory was that it was very close to the eleven villages in the north district of Loen that Connor had drawn on the map. The furthest village was only half an hour's walk away.
Even if a steel factory wasn't large in scale, it would have at least 100 employees according to the current level of productivity in this world. Among the 100 employees, at least half of them were engaged in jobs that didn't require high technical content. According to the factory's recruitment practice, these low-technical jobs were likely to be recruited from the local area. Some of the villagers in the rural villages in the northern region that Conner circled were very likely to be the villagers of this Ruiz Steel Factory.
Connor solemnly took out a small box from the space ring and looked at the red powder inside seriously. His mind was racing. He knew very well that Marguerite wouldn't pay so much attention to a normal Wraith incident, so there was definitely a problem!
The reason why Connor was so concerned about the Wraith incident was also because of this red powder. This red powder was refined in the Secret Society's safe house. Connor would never forget the rich Wraith aura in the red powder at the beginning.
The Valencia Chamber of Commerce was related to the Secret Society. This was information that had been confirmed many times. The Secret Society's safe house had stored red powder related to Wraith. Wraith had appeared in the villages in the north district that were very close to the Lois Steel Factory. Although Connor didn't know the truth behind all this, he had a feeling that there was an invisible hand controlling everything!
