To Connor, the forbidden Blood Witchcraft that Marguerite practised was the foundation of his trust in Marguerite. If the Church of the Storm were to find out that Marguerite had practised such a cruel and bloody forbidden technique, then there was no doubt that what awaited Marguerite was death, or an outcome even crueler than death.
Hence, Connor was never worried that Marguerite would betray him to the Church of the Storm!
"Connor, I have calculated that the second layer of the underground palace will be at its weakest in the past year. I have to venture there. If I don't go this time, I don't know how long I'll have to wait for the next opportunity. If I'm not wrong, only a Magus who practises Blood Witchcraft can break the restriction in the core area of the second layer of the underground palace. Hence, Connor, you only need to help me pass through the outer perimeter of the second layer of the underground palace occupied by the Azureflower Serpents. I believe you already have a plan, right? As for the rest of the matters after passing through the outer perimeter of the second layer of the underground palace, I can handle it myself! " In order to dispel Connor's doubts and get Connor to agree to help her, Marguerite revealed many secrets about herself.
Looking at Marguerite who was looking at him with eyes full of hope, Connor helplessly sighed and nodded in agreement.
To Connor, if everything in the underground palace was as Marguerite had described, then as long as he was prepared, the risk wouldn't be too great. Moreover, it seemed like Marguerite had a request for him, but in reality, he also had a request for Marguerite!
If he rejected Marguerite, there was no doubt that Marguerite would reject him as well. Without Marguerite's help, Connor didn't think that he had any chance of killing Old Victor. If he couldn't kill Old Victor, Connor could only passively wait for the Secret Society to make a move on him. Therefore, rejecting Marguerite was like pulling a domino.
After getting a satisfactory answer from Connor, Marguerite's peerlessly beautiful face instantly revealed a radiant smile from the bottom of her heart. For a moment, Connor, who originally thought that he was tired of looking at Marguerite's beauty, was completely captivated.
"Ahem …" Connor was quite shrewd. As soon as he was captivated by Marguerite's smile, he quickly returned to normal and coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment.
Marguerite didn't notice the change in Connor's heart. She happily promised Connor, "If everything goes well, after I get that thing, my Blood Witchcraft will reach a new level in a short period of time. My strength will also be greatly enhanced. At that time, I will be able to help you kill more people!"
Connor nodded. He took out a pen and paper from his Space Ring, and gave Marguerite a list of more than ten materials.
"Give me these materials within three days, and I will have a way to help you deal with those snakes in Azedin!" Connor said seriously as he handed the list to Marguerite.
"Don't worry!" Marguerite's eyes swept over the list that Connor gave her, and she immediately agreed.
After reaching an agreement, Connor and Marguerite discussed some details. Soon after, Connor and Marguerite left the safe house that belonged to the Church of the Storm separately.
… …
… …
Three days later, in the basement of the safe house in the north district of Loen, Connor was seriously operating the alchemy furnace in front of him.
The matter of accompanying Marguerite to the second floor of the underground palace was too rushed in terms of time. Just three hours ago, after receiving the alchemy materials from Leonie, Connor hurried to his safe house and began the work of refining poison bombs, gas masks, and alchemy bombs.
Connor had to refine four alchemy bombs, two poison bombs, and two gas masks within three days. Otherwise, he would have to start heading to the underground palace with Marguerite in three days. He wouldn't be able to refine these things on the train. Marguerite did a good job of keeping secrets. Connor still didn't know the exact location of the underground palace. Marguerite told him that she would tell him when the two of them boarded the train.
A few hours later, Connor used a set of skillful fire control techniques to carefully seal the four glittering gray crystal alchemy bombs in the alchemy furnace. Only then did he completely heave a sigh of relief. He patted the alchemy furnace to take out the bombs and put them in the wooden box that he had prepared beforehand.
Taking out a white towel, Connor wiped off the sweat on his forehead and meditated for a while to recover his energy. After that, he started to check the four alchemist's bombs carefully. If he could finish refining the four alchemist's bombs today, he would have more time to refine the poison bombs and gas masks tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Therefore, he would not be too nervous.
After confirming that there were no problems with the four newly refined alchemy bombs, Connor put the small wooden box containing the alchemy bombs into his spatial ring. After giving Varga two alchemy bombs for self-defense, he only had one left. Now that he had refined four more, he had a total of five alchemy bombs. This made Connor feel a little relieved.
Although he had a lot of confidence in the poison bombs he had refined, it was better to be safe than sorry. If the poison bombs didn't work as he expected and could make the Azedine Serpent lose its sense of smell, Connor might have to use the alchemy bombs to open a bloody path.
After a few hours of high-intensity alchemy, Connor was somewhat exhausted. Alchemy bombs weren't like other things. If they weren't handled properly, it was very likely that they would explode in the alchemy furnace. If you wanted to refine an alchemy bomb, you had to be bold and careful. You had to not panic in the face of danger. During the entire refining process, you had to focus all your attention on the bomb in the alchemy furnace.
Connor could be considered a bold person. Refining alchemy bombs shouldn't be more than two alchemy bombs, but Connor was confident that he had the help of the auxiliary A.I. Chip. As a Spirit Wizard, his mental force was very powerful. Therefore, in order to save time, Connor gritted his teeth and refined four alchemy bombs at once. Fortunately, Connor's alchemy skills were excellent, and his luck wasn't bad either. Refining four alchemy bombs at once was a daunting experience!
Connor took out a crystal ball from his spatial ring. He was somewhat surprised. He didn't think that the Secret Society would be so fast. They had delivered what he wanted in just three days!
