"Didn't you say that this Langley planned to use the two explosions that I did as an entry point for him to attack Edel's WeChat?" Connor frowned and asked in confusion. He was now a little confused by Marguerite!
"That's right, these two explosions were the entry points he chose. But Connor, you have to know that him wanting to capture you and him personally capturing you are two completely different concepts, okay?" Looking at the somewhat confused Connor, Marguerite's lips curled into a faint mocking smile as she slowly explained.
"In the secret meeting, that old woman, Lena, is the person in charge of the Church's intelligence agency in Loen. Through the way you created the explosions, as well as the traces of energy from the array you left behind at the scene of the explosions, she deduced that you are an alchemist and have considerable attainments in arrays. Langley, on the other hand, judged that you are only an intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentice through the magical beast you contracted! So this time, Langley will not personally search for and capture you. Instead, he will leave it to a few Sorcerer-Apprentices he sent from the Church's headquarters! "
"Marguerite, just tell me the strength of the people I will be facing!" After beating around the bush for a long time, Connor really lost his patience. He waved his hand and asked Marguerite very directly.
"Langley came to Loen from the headquarters this time with four Sorcerer-Apprentices. One of them is an advanced Sorcerer-Apprentice, and the other three are intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentices. I only know that the advanced Sorcerer-Apprentice leading the four is called Epstein. As for the other four, I don't know what kind of meditation techniques they practice, or whether they have powerful magic artifacts in their hands! However, from the Sorcerers who came from the headquarters in the past, this group of people should have pretty good magic artifacts in their hands! " Speaking of these serious matters, Marguerite also restrained the smile on her face and introduced them to Connor seriously.
"Epstein, one advanced Sorcerer-Apprentice, three intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentices …" Connor began to calculate in a low voice, his eyes flashing from time to time. For him, the situation was still very dangerous when facing these four people, but as long as he didn't face an official Sorcerer like Langley, there was still room for him to turn the situation around!
"Here, this person is Epstein!" Looking at the flashing light in Connor's eyes, Marguerite pursed her lips and took out a scroll of oil painting from her space ring. After unfolding the painting, Marguerite's slender finger pointed at the burly middle-aged man with a trademark big beard and said to Connor.
Carefully looking at the bearded man in the painting, Connor nodded silently and didn't say anything.
Seeing that Connor didn't say anything, Marguerite comforted him for the first time, "You don't have to worry too much about these four people. According to my understanding of Edward, although he may not be able to defeat Langley, this old fox will definitely not let Langley be so arrogant in his territory. With his painstaking management in Loen for so many years and his ruthless character, plus the help of Lena, the old woman who controls the church's intelligence agency in Loen, who knows, Edward will clean up the four people brought by Langley before they can find you. If it really comes to that, Connor, as long as you don't continue to commit crimes, Edward might not even bother with you anymore!"

… … …
A touch of dawn appeared in the sky as the scorching sun slowly rose from the horizon. The first ray of sunlight in the morning passed through the window and shone on Connor in the quiet room of apartment 16, Lander Street, Loen East. At this time, Connor, who was in the quiet room, had blood-red eyes. His angular face showed that he was very tired, but his eyes were sparkling, making it difficult for people to look at him directly.
Marguerite left after briefing Connor about the situation he was going to face last night. However, this was enough to make Connor feel grateful to Marguerite. After knowing that his collaborator was going to be hunted down by an advanced Apprentice and three intermediate Apprentices, it was very risky for Marguerite to continue to inform him of the situation. If it weren't for Marguerite's information, he might still be in the dark about what he was going to face next.
Taking out the alchemy furnace from the space ring, Connor looked at the incomplete black pill alchemy bomb in the furnace. His expression became serious. After Marguerite left, he didn't do anything but sit in the quiet room and start to think about everything!
Before Marguerite came, he had been curious about the alchemy bomb that Old Victor commissioned him to refine for the God of Demons, which was similar to the gray crystal bomb he used in the two explosions. Originally, he couldn't figure it out, but when Marguerite told him about Edward, it made Connor realize a shocking possibility!
As Reyes's student, Connor believed that he understood Reyes's character. During the previous turmoil in Loen, Reyes paid a huge price and even ran away himself, but it seemed like he didn't get anything in return. Connor once guessed that his mentor Reyes did this to support his mole in the Church. And this mole was Edward, who became the bishop of the Loen Church after the turmoil in the Secret Society. There was a high possibility that this person was Edward, who became the bishop of the Loen Church after the turmoil in the Secret Society.
If Connor's conjecture was true, and Bishop Edward of the Loen Church of the Storm was the spy of the Secret Society's professor, then Old Victor's request for Connor to refine the alchemy bomb seemed to be understandable!
The Church of the Storm's Red-robed Archbishop Hummels arranged for his trusted subordinate, Langley, to become the Loen Church's Arbiter Commander. He wanted to get rid of Edward, who had once embarrassed him. Langley chose to use the two explosions that he created as an entry point to attack Edward's prestige in the Loen Church. He also eliminated the people he brought from the Church's headquarters to capture him.
Faced with the blatant provocation of a powerful foreign dragon like Langley, Edward, as the local tyrant, was naturally unwilling to resign himself to his fate. He would definitely retaliate. Although Connor didn't know how Edward would retaliate against Langley, Connor believed that if Edward was really a spy that his mentor Reyes had planted in Loen, then Edward's retaliation would very likely have something to do with the alchemy bomb that Connor Ferguson was refining!
