"Although the Church has yet to fully grasp the magic transformation technology, from all the clues that the Church currently possesses, the Church has already reached a consensus. The mysterious organization that transforms ordinary knights into magic knights must have extremely profound research and technological reserves regarding magic beasts and knights!"
"Although the Secret Society is mysterious and powerful, the Church has clashed with them countless times in the dark, and is very familiar with the Secret Society. In the field of alchemy, the Secret Society is definitely at the top of the Magus World, with all sorts of mysterious magic artifacts emerging endlessly. However, when it comes to magic beasts and knights, the Secret Society's standards are far inferior to their alchemy!"
"Based on this understanding of the Secret Society, the Church's preliminary judgment is that the mysterious organization that created the magic knights is not the Secret Society. However, the Secret Society is definitely related to this organization. Moreover, the Church discovered traces of a unique alchemy technique on that abandoned island. It's very likely that the magic knights were secretly developed by this mysterious organization and the Secret Society," Marguerite explained to Connor with a solemn expression.
Hearing Marguerite's words, Connor's suspicions about the ambush in his heart immediately dissipated. As long as it wasn't someone from the Secret Society who was after him, he was still considered safe!
"Why are you telling me so much?" After pondering for a while, Connor raised his head and looked at Marguerite. Having known Marguerite for so long, he definitely wouldn't believe that Marguerite would tell him so many of the Church's secrets just because of the information exchange agreement that they had just reached.
"Click!"
Without directly answering Connor's question, Marguerite lightly snapped her fingers. The image on the screen released by the Image-Recording Orb immediately changed from Bisping and Drifting to another person. It was a haggard old man who was covered in wounds and had chains on his arms and legs. He looked like he was being interrogated!
"Do you know who this person is?" Marguerite pointed at the old man on the screen and asked Connor.
Although he didn't know what Marguerite's intention was, Connor still carefully looked at the miserable old man on the screen. After thinking quickly for a while, Connor, who had no recollection of this old man, shook his head at Marguerite, indicating that he didn't know this old man at all!
"I knew you wouldn't know him, Connor. This man is called Politano. He's 75 years old this year and was captured by the Church in Kaiserslautern Castle three months ago. Actually, his name isn't important at all. What's important is that his grandmother's name is Stefano." After saying the name, Marguerite didn't directly say her surname. Instead, she paused for a while, then stared into Connor's eyes and said word by word, "Stefano Ferguson …"
Hearing the three words "Ferguson", Connor's expression suddenly changed. He narrowed his eyes and subconsciously thought of his family. The surname Ferguson was very rare in the Kahman Empire. Whether it was in Flosinone City where his family was located or in Loen, Connor had never seen anyone else with the same surname other than the Ferguson family. Now that Marguerite deliberately mentioned this surname in front of him, could it have something to do with his family?
Connor's guess was right. After saying the name "Stefano Ferguson", Marguerite continued, "Connor, I believe you've already guessed it. That's right, Politano's grandmother is Stefano Ferguson. According to seniority, she's Connor's great-aunt, the aunt of your father, Count Ferguson …" At this point, Marguerite looked at Connor's astonished face with interest.
"Stop! I'm asking you why you're telling me so much about the internal secrets of the Church, not introducing me to some bullsh * t great-aunt! "Staring at Marguerite, Connor said impatiently with a dark face.
"Be patient! Connor, I promise you'll be very interested in what I'm going to say next! " Marguerite comforted Connor with a smile in response to Connor's impatience. However, from Connor's perspective, the smile on her pretty face looked like an evil smile with ulterior motives …
What Marguerite said today was undoubtedly one bomb after another for Connor, but Connor had to admit that his curiosity was indeed piqued by Marguerite. He really wanted to know what tricks Marguerite was playing with him!
"Simply put, Connor, when your great-aunt married Stefano's grandfather, she took some dowry from the Ferguson family. Some very special dowry. Do you understand what I mean, Connor?" Marguerite continued to speak to Connor with a smile. When she said the word "special," she deliberately winked at Connor playfully.
"Stop beating around the bush. Marguerite, what are you trying to say?" Connor really didn't want to play riddles with Marguerite, so he said directly with a sullen tone.
Seeing that Connor seemed to be a little angry, Marguerite pursed her lips and snapped her fingers again. The light screen released by the Image-Recording Orb began to play like a video. Politano's intermittent voice immediately entered Connor's ears.
"My name is Politano. I've been practicing the meditation technique for three years. The source of the meditation technique was found in a book among the dowry that my grandmother, Stefano Ferguson, brought from the Ferguson family. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who saw that book."
Just as Politano finished speaking, Marguerite snapped her fingers again and the light screen paused. She then looked at Connor with a smile.
With a sneer, Connor's face also showed a mocking smile as he faced Marguerite. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Marguerite, don't tell me what you're trying to say in the end. You know that the Ferguson family has a Magus Meditation Technique?"
In the face of Connor's mockery, Marguerite's expression didn't change. She said slowly, "No, no, no! Of course I won't do that. The Church has known about the Fire Element Meditation Technique for more than a hundred years. The Church also has a part to play in the reason that the Serta Sect didn't dare to cause trouble for the Ferguson family in Flosinone. In fact, although there aren't many hereditary nobles in the entire Kahman Empire who have a Magus Meditation Technique, there are still quite a few of them. What I've shown you now is just the beginning.
