The next morning, the Church of the Storm search that Marguerite had mentioned arrived as scheduled. Some arbitrators from the Church of the Storm disguised as priests and the imperial military police began the search in the name of cracking down on gangs and eliminating illegal firearms. What made the situation in Loen City strange was that these priests from the Church of the Storm, who were nominally assisting the military police in the investigation, were very meticulous during the search process, while the military police who were mainly in charge of the search didn't pay much attention to the search!
Knock! Knock! On the morning of the second day of the search, someone gently knocked on the door of Connor's apartment. From the sound of the knock, it could be heard that the person knocking on the door was very polite to the owner of the apartment, Connor.
Connor didn't need to use his mental strength to know that the person knocking on the door at this time was none other than to search his apartment. Shrugging slightly, Connor walked over and opened the door.
"Hello, Mr. Connor. We are the Loen City Defense Military Police. This is my ID. We are under orders from City Hall to crack down on gangs and eliminate illegal firearms. We are here to check your apartment. Please don't be nervous!" When Connor opened the door, he immediately saw a priest from the Church of the Storm and more than ten military police standing outside his door. The young military police officer leading the group held up his military ID in one hand and said to Connor in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Mr. Connor.
After glancing at the officer's young face, Connor took his ID from him. Seeing how serious Connor was, a hint of displeasure appeared on the young officer's face. Perhaps it was because he considered that this was the East Borough where rich merchants and nobles lived, but he didn't show his displeasure on his face because the man in front of him, who was about the same age as him, was either rich or noble!
"Venicius, Squad Leader of the Seventh Squad of the Third Platoon of the Loen City Defense Military Police, First Class Sergeant …" After confirming that there was no problem with the military ID in his hand, Connor returned the military ID to Squad Leader Venicius expressionlessly and stepped aside to open the door of his apartment.
"Squad Leader Venicius, as a noble of the Kaman Empire, it is my responsibility to cooperate with your legal investigation. You can go anywhere in my apartment, but I have to remind you that the first article of the Empire's Constitution is to protect the sanctity of the Empire's citizens' legal private property! Do you understand what I mean? " After taking out a bottle of wine from the kitchen wine cabinet and pouring it into a glass, Connor leaned on the sofa and shook the glass to sober up the wine as he spoke emotionlessly. At this moment, he looked arrogant like an arrogant descendant of a noble family.
Hearing Connor's "reminder", the eyes of First Class Sergeant Venicius were about to spit fire. However, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and said, "After you enter the apartment, you must check every corner carefully … But be careful!"
Venicius said the last few words almost word by word. After finishing his sentence, he waved his hand, and the dozen or so military police standing outside his door immediately filed into Kang's apartment.
On the surface, Connor was tasting the wine in his glass, but in fact, he was looking at the middle-aged man dressed like a priest of the Church of the Storm who was following the military police to check his apartment. After entering his apartment, this man didn't say a word, but his eyes were sharp like an eagle's. He kept looking at the decorations in Connor's apartment.
Although he didn't use his power of the will, Connor's experience told him that this guy wasn't a priest of the Church of the Storm at all. This guy was definitely an experienced arbitrator of the Church of the Storm, and his cultivation was the same as Connor's. They were both intermediate wizard apprentices!
The reason why Connor put on such an arrogant and condescending look in front of the young military police officer, Venisius, was that this was what a young hereditary noble should be like. He couldn't let this arbitrator of the Church of Storms have any doubts. As soon as he opened the door and saw this guy, Connor immediately understood that this was a simple character.
Connor could clearly feel that the arbitrator in front of him was using his power of the will to check the items in his apartment. Connor knew that if there wasn't an unspoken rule between nobles and church wizards, that the church wizards couldn't use their power of the will to check the nobles before a trial, this arbitrator's power of the will would have landed on him!
Although this arbitrator's power of the will was very detailed, Connor wasn't too worried about him finding the alchemy mechanism in his apartment. In order to deal with this kind of large-scale search, he had set up the alchemy mechanism in his apartment in a very secretive manner. In addition, after hearing from Marguerite that there was going to be a large-scale search, Connor had set up another layer of concealment for the sake of insurance. Connor believed that as long as the level of alchemy wasn't higher than him, even an advanced wizard apprentice wouldn't be able to find the alchemy mechanism in his apartment in a short period of time.
This was naturally a false proposition for this intermediate wizard apprentice arbitrator of the Church of the Storm who was checking Connor's apartment with his power of the will. If he was an alchemist and had a higher level of alchemy than Connor, with the scarcity of alchemists in the Sorcerer World, he naturally wouldn't have fallen to the level of an arbitrator. He would have been treated like a treasure by the Church of the Storm and stayed in the laboratory to research on how to refine magic items!
Sure enough, Connor's confidence wasn't without reason. After checking Connor's apartment with his power of the will, this middle-aged male arbitrator shook his head at officer Venicius. Obviously, his power of the will didn't find anything in Connor's apartment!
Venicius saw the signal from the Church of the Storm, who wanted him to listen to his orders. Although his subordinates were still carefully searching this luxurious apartment located in one of the most prosperous areas of Loen, Venicius still shouted, "Retreat!"
Hearing this, Connor was completely relieved. Although he was very confident in his arrangement, he was always on guard against the worst situation. As long as the arbitrator and the pair of military police made any strange moves, Connor would not hesitate to strike first to gain the upper hand and keep them here. Although Connor was very confident in his arrangement, he was still very cautious. As long as the arbitrator and the pair of military police made any strange moves, Connor would not hesitate to strike first and keep them here.
If you want to put on a show, you have to go all the way. Looking at these military police leaving his apartment, Connor still had a proud look on his face as he tasted the sober red wine in the wine glass in his hand. He didn't have the slightest intention of being polite with this group of military police!
