"It is estimated that he will ask you to look for him in a month. Be prepared!"
Looking at the short words on the letter, Connor, who was leaning on the sofa in the apartment, had a faint smile on his face. A black flame ignited on his finger, burned the letter to ashes, and sent it into the sewer.
Although there was no signature or signature on the letter, Connor knew very well that it was a letter from Martina to him, and the "he" mentioned in the letter was undoubtedly referring to that old Viktor.
Connor wasn't surprised that Old Viktor wanted to see him. Not only did the long-prepared operation fail to kill Marguerite as planned, but it also cost the lives of Paredes and Emoson. If Connor were Old Viktor, he would definitely interrogate the survivors who participated in the operation.
But what really surprised Connor was the time that Old Viktor wanted to see him! A full month! What did this mean? This meant that Old Viktor was now in a terrible fix and was busy cleaning up his mess. Otherwise, with his personality, he would have interrogated him now, let alone a month.
After reading the letter, Connor walked out of his Ferguson apartment. He had a lot of things to do today. Although he had Marguerite as a channel, Connor still planned to visit the Loen's black market, underground auction, and Warlock Exchange after much consideration. If his luck was good and he really found a suitable magical beast for testing the potion, then there was no need to trouble Marguerite. After all, Marguerite was the core of this incident, and she might also be in a terrible fix. He had searched all the places that he needed to search. If he really couldn't find it, then there was no other way but to disturb her.
In the next ten hours, Connor ran all over Loen where he knew there might be news of magical beasts. As for the results? It wasn't that he didn't find anything, but he also didn't find anything substantial. But what surprised Connor was that the news of magical beasts in the Regillon Forest was most likely true. Many sources, including a few very reliable sources, had confirmed this news. This made Connor interested in the Regillon Forest.
But unless Marguerite also found nothing here, Connor might consider venturing into the Regillon Forest.
Connor, who didn't find anything substantial, helplessly found that things had returned to the beginning. He still needed to rely on Marguerite, who was in the Church of the Storm, to help him get magical beasts.
In the evening, Connor came to the Empire Department Store and found Leoni. But what surprised Connor was that after Leoni led him into the inner hall of the lingerie store, she asked him, "I haven't sent you the news that Marguerite wants to see you. Why are you here?"
"Marguerite wants to see me?" Upon hearing Leoni's words, Connor's heart sank. At this time, Marguerite probably didn't want to see him for anything good. Could it be that something unexpected had happened?
Yes! It's quite urgent. Marotta's Warehouse No. 7 is at 11 p.m. tonight. Don't you know about this? Then why are you here, Connor? Seeing that Connor didn't seem to know that Marguerite was looking for him, the surprise on Leoni's face deepened.
"I'm here because I have something that I need her help with. But it seems like she has something to look for me too. Leoni, I wish you a prosperous business!" After knowing the time and place of the meeting, Connor gave Leoni a brief explanation before hurriedly leaving the Empire Department Store.
At 10: 30 p.m., the black-clothed Connor arrived at Marotta's Warehouse No. 7. However, to Connor's surprise, Marguerite was actually waiting for him there.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Connor frowned and walked up to Marguerite. Marguerite's abnormal behavior gave Connor a bad premonition.
"There's good news and bad news. Connor, which one do you want to hear first?" Connor's premonition seemed to have deviated. Compared to Connor's nervousness, Marguerite's tone and expression were very normal. She even had a hint of joy.
"The bad news!" Seeing Marguerite like this, the nervousness in Connor's heart eased a little. After pondering for a moment, Connor said to Marguerite. Connor personally liked to suffer first before rejoicing.
"I'm going to leave Loen temporarily. I'll be away from you, Connor for some time!" Marguerite shrugged and said to Connor. Although Marguerite said that it was bad news, the joy in Marguerite's eyes came from the bottom of her heart. Clearly, Marguerite's temporary departure seemed to be a good thing.
Without waiting for Connor to ask why, Marguerite took the initiative to tell Connor, "Edward paid a huge price to make me shut up about this matter. He recommended me to cultivate in the Heart of the Storm for three months!"
Marguerite's explanation left Connor a little confused. This was the first time he had heard of the Heart of the Storm, but from the name, it was definitely a place related to the Church of the Storm. And judging from Marguerite's joy, it should be a place that was very helpful for cultivation.
"What's the good news?" Looking at the happy Marguerite, Connor continued to ask Marguerite with a smile on his face. As Marguerite's collaborator, Connor was really happy for Marguerite to have such an opportunity.
"This is for you!" Marguerite smiled mysteriously, then took out a beautifully wrapped small wooden box from her spatial ring and handed it to Connor.
Looking at the small box and the smile on Marguerite's face, Connor had a lot of expectations for the small box's contents. Taking the small box from Marguerite's hand, Connor opened it in front of Marguerite. Inside was a green stone about the size of a warm stone.
Although it looked like a green stone, it was very beautiful and emitted a jade-like luster. As an alchemist, Connor had seen a lot of treasures, but when he saw this green stone, he couldn't take his eyes off it. While concentrating on it, he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. But this wasn't because of the stone's beauty, but because Connor had discovered the true identity of this green stone.
