"Has the victim been identified as an Arbitrator of the Church?" Marguerite ignored the youths who were secretly looking at her. She frowned and asked in a serious tone, "Yes.
"Yes. Although the dead man's body was cremated, we've confirmed it through the soul lamp in the church that the dead man is White from the fifth arbitration team. His team was sent to collect information from a missing informant's family two days ago, but all three members of his team went missing. Judging from White's body, the other two members of his team should be … May the Goddess of Storm bless them!" The middle-aged Arbitrator said in a low and sorrowful voice. He made a gesture of blessing from the Church of the Storm in front of his chest.
"May the Goddess of Storms bless them!" Marguerite replied. She also made a gesture of blessing in front of her chest that was covered by her large robe. After that gesture, Marguerite continued, "Report to Bishop Constantine. The person who killed an Advanced Apprentice and two Intermediate Apprentices without even being able to call for help is likely to be an official Wizard!"
"An official Wizard?" The middle-aged Arbitrator gasped. He immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He bowed slightly to Marguerite and was about to leave to report to Bishop Constantine.
"Wait a minute. Did you just say that this squad of Arbitrators went to an informant's house to look for clues?" Marguerite's beautiful eyes flickered as if she had noticed something.
The middle-aged Arbitrator thought for a moment and gave an affirmative answer, "Yes, my Lady! Every time an Arbitrator carries out a mission, there will be an action log. This is what was written in the last action log of the Fifth Arbitrator! "
"Send me a copy of the informant's background!" Marguerite nodded and gave an order.
Hearing Marguerite's order, the middle-aged Arbitrator's weather-beaten face showed a hint of bitterness. He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Lady Marguerite, you may not know this, but according to Bishop Constantine's orders, I am not allowed to leak any information in Loen to anyone without his permission. I'm sorry, my Lady, but if you want to know the informant's background, I need Bishop Constantine's permission!"
Marguerite's beautiful face showed a hint of anger when her order was rejected. However, she didn't vent her anger. Instead, she took a deep look at the middle-aged Arbitrator in front of her and said calmly, "Prepare the information. I will look for Constantine." She then turned around and left.

Although Loen City was a port city and didn't have other rich minerals, due to its developed shipping industry and the fact that it was the best deep-water port on the Empire's West Coast, more than 50% of the cargo ships carrying all kinds of ores from the New World to Kaman would stop at Loen to unload. This directly led to Loen having a rich ore market — the Leipzig Super Ore Market.
Walking in the largest ore market on the Empire's West Coast and the third largest ore market in the Empire, Connor casually sized everything up.
Outside the Leipzig Super Ore Market, there were many workers with labels like "Know how to operate mining machines", "Speak Khoi", and so on around their necks, hoping to get a job. Around them, there were some stalls with all kinds of strange ores. Connor could recognize some of these ores, but Connor was still confused about most of them.
Walking into the supermarket, Connor immediately felt the smell of regularity and order. There were many shops here, and all kinds of signboards promoting ores could be seen everywhere. However, one could also see well-dressed capitalists arguing loudly with others in the shops at any time to reduce the price by one penny.
After glancing around, Connor fixed his eyes on a shop called "Mihailovich Ore Company".
After tidying up his formal attire, Connor walked into the shop with his head held high.
"Hello, sir! Is there anything I can help you with? "A lady at the front desk, who was wearing a professional suit that revealed her slender and beautiful legs, saw Connor walking in. She secretly sized up Connor's attire, and immediately showed a sweet smile on her face as she greeted him.
Glancing at the simple but elegant decorations in the shop, Connor nodded and took out a business card from his pocket. He handed it to the lady, "Give this to your boss. I was recommended by the owner of the business card to buy something from your company!"
The lady at the front desk took the business card from Connor with both hands. When she lowered her head and saw the words "Sanchez Bank" on the business card, the flattering smile on her beautiful face deepened.
She said softly to Connor in a sweet voice, "Sir, please sit on the sofa and wait for a while. I'll go look for our boss now." After saying that, she turned and walked to the second floor of the shop.
Sitting on the soft sofa, Connor narrowed his eyes and began to think.
The reason he came to this "Mihailovich Ore Company" was very simple. With the help of the A.I. Chip, Connor used less than a week to learn the principles and methods of making some basic alchemy items in "Reyes Alchemy". After learning the methods, Connor was naturally itching to try it out. He wanted to test out the effects of what he had learned and put it into practice.
After careful consideration, Connor chose the Shadow Dagger as his test subject among the few simple alchemy items that he had learned. The main reason he chose the Shadow Dagger was that the method of making it was simple and not cumbersome. The raw materials were metals that could be bought in the market. In addition, the Shadow Dagger could be used to attack people from a distance, just like the flying swords in Xianxia novels in his previous life. Most importantly, one of the Abyssal Secret Methods that Connor cultivated was a method that allowed him to control objects remotely using his mental strength.
After deciding to refine the Shadow Dagger, Connor did not directly come here to buy the raw materials. Instead, he contacted his good friend, George. Connor was not familiar with the ore industry and had limited funds to buy raw materials. The Leipzig Super Ore Market was very complicated, so he needed a guide to help him. The first successor of Sanchez Bank, George, was naturally the best choice for a guide.
