After completing his trip to the underground palace with Marguerite, Connor had originally planned to take a good rest and conserve his energy. He planned to make further plans after completing his "one-month agreement" with Varga in half a month. However, even though that was his plan, things didn't go according to his wishes. Connor only stayed at home for a few days to get rid of the fatigue from the trip to the underground palace. Before he could digest the "benefits" from the trip to the underground palace, a letter from Martina broke Connor's peaceful life once again.
In the southern suburbs of Loen, in the northwest corner of the DuPont Racecourse, on a quiet and remote lawn, Connor and Martina were both dressed in tight-fitting attire. Each of them was riding on a strong and unusually handsome BMW.
Connor adjusted the hat on his head and looked at the endless lawn in the distance. He then whispered to Martina, who was beside him, "What's the matter this time?"
"Can't I look for you if there's nothing?" Martina asked faintly. For the first time, she had put on a thick layer of makeup today. It made Martina, who had an ascetic temperament, look unusually beautiful.
Upon hearing Martina's question, Connor didn't say anything. He only shifted his gaze from the lawn in the distance to Marguerite and looked at Martina seriously. Although he had taught Martina some alchemy skills in order to complete the alchemy mission given to him by the secret society in the secret manor last time, their relationship had improved and was no longer as hostile as before. However, it wasn't to the point where they would visit each other for no reason.
Facing Connor's gaze, Marguerite shrugged and said, "Alright, you guessed right! I, no, to be precise, the secret society is indeed looking for you! You have to go to Fatikaro Cathedral in the North Borough at six o 'clock tomorrow night! "
"You want me to go to Fatikaro Cathedral? Are you sure you're not crazy? "Upon hearing the name" Fatikalou Cathedral ", Connor immediately sneered.
Loen City was an important economic city on the west coast of the Empire. It had a population of over a million. As the traditional sphere of influence of the Church of the Storm, there were a total of eighteen churches of various sizes in the four districts of Loen. Some of these churches were large while others were small. The Fatikaloh Church that Martina mentioned was the second largest church out of the eighteen churches other than the Church of the Storm's headquarters in Loen. In the Loen Dark Sorcerers' world, there was a message that the Church of the Storm hid a secret prison for Dark Sorcerers. In the church, the Church of the Storm would arrange for an official Sorcerer to be in charge of guarding this secret prison.
This rumor might not be true, but as the second largest cathedral of the Loen Church of the Storm, it was definitely heavily guarded! If a Dark Sorcerer like Connor were to go there, wouldn't it be like a mouse paying a visit to a cat?
"Connor, don't be agitated. Let me finish!" Martina wasn't surprised by Connor's reaction and continued, "I'll tell you a secret. You should have heard of the rumor about Fatikalou, right?"
"You mean … the secret prison?" Connor's heart skipped a beat.
"That's right! I can tell you responsibly that this rumor is 90% correct! "Martina nodded and said with certainty.
"90% correct? In other words, there's still a 10% chance of being wrong? "Connor thought to himself.
Without waiting for Connor to ask, Martina continued in a low voice, "Under Fatikaloh is the legendary secret prison of the Church of the Storm. There are thirteen Dark Sorcerers imprisoned there. However, because the Dark Sorcerers imprisoned there are only beginner Sorcerer-Apprentices, the Arbiters of the Church of the Storm who are in charge of guarding the secret prison aren't official Sorcerers like in the rumors. Instead, they are a small team of seven Arbiters led by an advanced Sorcerer-Apprentice, including two intermediate Sorcerers!"
Hearing Martina describe the situation of the Dark Sorcerers and the people in charge of guarding the secret prison in such detail, Connor was secretly shocked. Could it be that among the people in charge of guarding the secret prison, there was a ghost from the Secret Society?
"Connor, you don't have to worry that the Eye of the Storm in the Fatikaloh Church will expose your identity. There are people from the Secret Society in the Fatikaloh Church. They will set up a small glitch in the Eye of the Storm at two o 'clock tomorrow afternoon so that the Eye of the Storm won't operate normally. Without the Eye of the Storm, Connor, you only need to disguise yourself well and conceal your aura. There won't be any problems!"
"After entering the Fatikaloh Church, Connor, you only need to pretend to be someone going to the church to pray. The person who will meet you will sit in the inner hall of the church, the second seat from the left in the third row. After you arrive, you will sit in the second seat from the left in the fourth row. The person who will meet you will say the secret code to praise the Goddess and ask the Goddess to bless me so that I can continue to increase my wealth. You will answer the secret code to the Goddess to bless the health of my family. Then, the person who will meet you will give you something. You have to keep this thing safe and give it to me a week later!" Martina explained in detail what Connor had to do the next day.
"Why do you want me to go?" Connor looked into Marguerite's eyes and asked in a low voice. From Martina's description, it seemed that there was no danger in this operation. No one would have thought that the people from the Secret Society would meet at the Church of the Storm. However, Connor could not understand why the Secret Society wanted him to go. What was the purpose of this action?
"Connor, you actually have a choice. However, I suggest that you accept this mission!" Martina smiled and said, "Do you know why that thing has to be kept in your hands for a week before I have to go and retrieve it?"
Connor looked coldly at Marguerite. He had no intention of answering Marguerite's question.
"Connor, you should have heard of the Dark Sorcerers organization, the Lighthouse of Darkness, right? The Loen Secret Society will take action against the Lighthouse of Darkness in the next week. So, Connor, you now have two choices. Either you attack the Lighthouse of Darkness and I go to Fatikaloh to retrieve the item, or you go to the Fatikaloh Church to retrieve the item while I attack the Lighthouse of Darkness. "Seeing that Connor did not speak, Martina did not feel awkward.
She smiled faintly and explained, "To be honest, I do hope that you, Connor, will go and attack the Lighthouse of Darkness. After all, those two old fogeys are very troublesome. If you go and attack them, I will have a lot of free time. Of course, you can also choose to reject the mission given to you by the Secret Society. However, Connor, you should know the consequences of doing so very well!"
