After receiving the note, Connor lowered his head and scanned it before destroying it in front of Leoni. Now that he knew the location and the method to retrieve the items, his purpose for coming here today was over. He said to Leoni, "If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave!"
Leoni sized up Connor with a complicated expression and shook her head.
Although Leoni's gaze was a little strange, Connor didn't think too much about it. He nodded and walked out of the small room, leaving the Empire Department Store.
Without any delay, Connor left the Empire Department Store and went straight to the Alpha Warehouse that Leoni had mentioned. The process of retrieving the materials was very smooth. Connor didn't alarm anyone and just found the two hidden compartments. He then used the method recorded in the note that Leoni had given him to open the compartments and found three spatial rings inside.
Connor quietly left the Alpha Warehouse with the spatial rings and returned to his apartment at 16th Rand Street. He was going to complete his research and refining the alchemy puppet here!
The next day, Connor studied the alchemy puppet refining method in "Reyes' Alchemy" for the entire night. Just as he was about to continue his work, a strange expression flashed across his face.
He found a piece of paper that was flickering with white light from the spatial ring. When the white light dissipated, Connor saw the familiar handwriting of his mentor, Reyes.
"Female Sorcerer, Blood Witchcraft, Intermediate Sorcerer Apprentice. After finding this person's whereabouts in Loen, send it to my villa's mailbox. Viktor is in Loen!"
After reading the message that Reyes had sent him, Connor only felt a buzzing sound in his head!
Blood Witchcraft itself was a forbidden spell. If the two churches and the Empire found out about this spell, it would lead to an irreconcilable outcome. Very few people even knew about it, let alone practicing it. Connor felt that if he didn't have the backing of the Secret Society and Reyes, as well as the huge amount of knowledge that Reyes had given him, he might not have known about Blood Witchcraft.
There were very few people who dared to practice the forbidden spell, Blood Witchcraft, and a female Sorcerer. In terms of probability, it could be simply said that half of the people were eliminated. In addition, the two conditions of being in Loen and being an intermediate Sorcerer Apprentice could narrow down the scope. Connor felt that the person that Reyes was looking for was already obvious to him.
"Marguerite!"
That's right! After reading the message that Reyes had sent, the figure of his collaborator, Marguerite, immediately appeared in Connor's mind. The four characteristics that Reyes had mentioned in the message were simply tailor-made for Marguerite.
After receiving the message, Connor could no longer calm himself down and continue studying alchemy puppet knowledge. He desperately wanted to know what Marguerite had done to make Reyes act so abnormally!
… …
… …
Just as Connor was burning with anxiety and wanted to find Marguerite, in a tavern in the east of Loen, which was filled with the stench of men's sweat and cheap perfume, two old men were drinking like old brothers who hadn't seen each other in years.
"Mr. Adele, thank you very much for coming to meet me in person!" Amidst the surrounding clamor, the stooped Viktor raised his wine glass in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing as he toasted the elderly man opposite him.
Adele was a very common name in the Kaman Empire, but there was only one person who could make Reyes's butler, Old Victor, who was also an advanced Sorcerer's Apprentice, treat him in such a manner.
Although the old man sitting opposite Old Victor looked nothing like Adele, who was now the Bishop of the Loen Church of the Storm, no one could imagine that the Bishop of the Loen Church of the Storm would personally meet a Dark Sorcerer in such a messy place!
"Get straight to the point!" Adele didn't have the slightest intention of being courteous with Old Victor. If Reyes hadn't personally sent him a letter asking him to meet his butler, he wouldn't have come to such a filthy place to meet this person.
Edward and Viktor appeared to be in the middle of this chaotic tavern, but in fact, there was a transparent barrier around them. They could clearly hear what was going on outside, but no one outside could hear a single word of their conversation inside the barrier.
Although Old Victor was being ignored, he didn't show a trace of embarrassment on his face. He naturally took back his wine glass. Old Victor was very clear that with his status, there was no way he could meet this person. The only reason this person came to see him was because of Professor's instructions.
"I'm sorry to disturb you. I contacted you through the professor because I had no other choice. One of our Secret Society's important locations has been invaded. We must capture this person as soon as possible!" Old Victor spoke earnestly to Adele after choosing his words carefully.
"About that thing?" After hearing Old Victor's explanation, Adele, who had completely changed his appearance, muttered to himself.
This time, Old Victor didn't say anything. He just nodded his head heavily!
Seeing Old Victor nod his head, Adel's face under his disguise became solemn. He said in a deep voice.
He asked, "How can I help you?"
Upon hearing Edward's words, Old Victor, who usually didn't show his emotions, couldn't help but reveal a look of joy. He knew Edward's identity and how much power he could mobilize in Loen. Without any hesitation, Old Victor told him the plan he had long thought of, "Let's talk about the future of Loen.
"Mr. Adele, I need you to mobilize all the Church's Arbiters in the name of investigating the Dark Magi to conduct a search in Loen. Although we haven't captured the person who invaded our important place, we already know some of her characteristics. She's an Intermediate Apprentice Magus, a female, and she cultivates Blood Witchcraft!" Old Victor purposely emphasized the words' Blood Witchcraft '.
"Blood Witchcraft!" Adele muttered softly with a hint of astonishment in his voice.
"That's right. I've personally investigated the scene of the battle. I'm basically certain that this Magus has cultivated the forbidden Blood Witchcraft!" Old Victor said with certainty.
