According to Connor's understanding, there were basically two types of secret departments in the Kaman Empire. The first one was the Ninth Department, which was under the command of the royal family of the Kaman Empire. Although the name sounded simple, it was a terrifying intelligence agency for dark wizards. The Ninth Department was responsible for maintaining the royal family's respected status in the Kaman Empire. Once a dark wizard was caught by the Ninth Department, he would be better off dead than alive. Since Loen, where Connor was from, was the traditional sphere of influence of the Church of the Storm, the Ninth Department was very low-key in Loen. It was so low-key that it was easy for people to overlook its existence. Therefore, Connor didn't know much about this agency. He only knew that the Ninth Department had many subordinate agencies, and the "Hunters" who were stationed at the Loen Railway Station were a branch of the Ninth Department.
Other than the Ninth Department, the other secret department in the Kaman Empire was the military's secret department. Compared to the Ninth Department, the military's secret department was even more low-key. It was so low-key that Connor didn't even know the name of the department. He only knew that they existed.
And now, it was very likely that "Uncle Gigi" and "Rabio" were rumored to be members of the military's secret department. Compared to the arbiter of the Church of Storms sitting in front of the waiting room, who he had interacted with countless times, they undoubtedly attracted Connor's attention.
From the sound transmission, the arbitrators of the Church of the Storm, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Uncle Gigi, and Rabio, the four intermediate apprentices seemed to be waiting for one person. A junior apprentice with an unusual identity. Connor couldn't help but wonder who this person was.
While Connor was secretly guessing, the middle-aged man and Uncle Gigi suddenly froze. Then, they each took out a notebook and a pocket watch from their arms and lowered their heads to look at them.
A few seconds later, the middle-aged man was the first to react. After exchanging a glance with the middle-aged woman, the couple walked out of the waiting room hand in hand. Connor slightly frowned and didn't know what was going on. Through his power of the will, he eavesdropped on Uncle Gigi's voice transmission to Rabio again.
"Let's go. The target has appeared in Loen. In ten minutes, there will be a train that will pass by Tunguska and head to Loen's freight station. His Excellency wants me to take this train to Loen."
After receiving Uncle Gigi's voice transmission, Rabio nodded, and walked out of the waiting room with Uncle Gigi one after another.
Rubbing his nose with a wry smile, Connor took out his train ticket from Tunguska to Loen in ten minutes and shook his head helplessly.
Fifteen minutes later, Connor, who was sitting on the train, looked around his carriage and felt relieved. Fortunately, there was no trace of the old man and the young girl in this carriage. It seemed that they were arranged in another carriage.
While Connor was still unaware of what had happened, in a meeting room in the new Church of the Storm in Loen East hundreds of kilometers away, the upper echelons of the Loen Church of the Storm were having a meeting.
"Ma 'am Lena, is your intelligence department certain that the target has entered Loen?" Bishop Edward, who was sitting at the head of the table, asked Ma 'am Lena, who was sitting on the first seat to his right, very solemnly. When he said the word "target," Edward deliberately raised his voice.
"Yes, Your Excellency. The intelligence department is certain that the target has already entered Loen. The Eye of the Storm has already captured some images. Please take a look!" Ma 'am Lena, who was dressed exquisitely and had an intellectual vibe, immediately took out a crystal ball the size of a cobblestone that she had already prepared from her interspatial ring and handed it to Edward.
After taking the crystal ball from Lena's hand, Edward didn't hesitate and immediately immersed his mental strength into it to check. A minute later, Edward retracted his mental strength from the crystal ball and nodded before putting it into his interspatial ring. Then, he said to Langley, who was sitting upright on his left, "Commander Langley, the target has already entered Loen.
"Commander Langley, the target has already entered Loen. After the meeting, discuss it with Ma 'am Lena and begin controlling the target. Don't touch the target for the time being. Wait for my orders. Take action when I tell you to! By the way, the military seems to have set their sights on the target as well. They have sent two intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentices, and they are now rushing from Tunguska to Loen. Keep an eye on them and don't let them interfere with our operation. Try not to clash with them, but if they don't know what's good for them, it's fine as long as you don't harm their lives. Do you understand what I mean? "After saying that, Edward cast an inquiring look at Langley.
"I understand what Lord Bishop means. I will get it done!" Hearing Edward's question, Langley replied expressionlessly.
After getting a positive answer from Langley, Edward was very satisfied. He shifted his attention from Langley to everyone in the conference room. After pondering for a moment, he said very seriously, "Today's matter is classified as a first-class secret. I don't want to hear anything that shouldn't be heard outside. Violators will be severely punished. Do you all understand?"
After saying that, Edward's gaze swept across everyone in the conference room. Under Edward's gaze, the higher-ups of the Loen Church of the Storm nodded without exception, indicating that they understood Edward's meaning.
"Very good! That's all for today. Everyone may leave! " After looking around at everyone, Edward nodded with satisfaction and waved for everyone to leave. However, just as Marguerite was about to leave the room, Edward's voice sounded in her ears, "Marguerite, wait a moment. I have something for you!"
Although she didn't know why Edward was looking for her, she still had to listen to the Bishop's orders. Marguerite returned to her seat in the conference room with some doubts.
After everyone else in the conference room had left, Edward slowly said to Marguerite, "Marguerite, put your work aside for a moment. I have a very important mission for you. Have you heard of the Skull Order?"
"I have some impression of them. They seem to be a dark Sorcerer organization in the New World of Khoy. The organization is developing rapidly. The leader of the organization, Skull King, is rumored to be a level-2 Sorcerer. Does the mission for me have anything to do with them, Your Excellency?" Marguerite thought for a moment and replied to Edward.
