"Shouldn't your rune be out of energy by now? How did it get discovered?" It seemed that the blonde woman was very confident in her "dead man's" alchemy skills. When she asked the question, her face was full of surprise.
"It seems that I've met an expert …" The fat middle-aged man patted his head, which had only a few strands of hair left, and hesitated for a moment before saying,
"You know my little sister, Susan, right? She's very well-informed. After she knew that I was coming to Loen with you, she told me that in Loen, the Secret Society is very powerful. Old man, you must be careful. Don't be like what Emperor Laurel said, and fail in the sewers when you're old! " The blonde woman seemed to have seen the seriousness in the man's eyes. She handed the peeled apple in her hand to the man, and then asked with concern,
After taking the apple from the woman, the man took a big bite out of it, and then chewed the apple while muttering to the woman, "I'm just here to make a deal with them. I'll exchange the potion knowledge passed down by our ancestors for a bottle of potion. How can I fail in the sewers? Besides, it's not like I'm not prepared for this in Loen. I've investigated, and it seems that there are only three official wizards in the Church of the Storm in Loen, Edel, Langley, and Lena. With the strength of you and me, no matter who comes, you and I can easily escape … "
"You old thing, keep bragging. We're just two advanced wizard apprentices. How can we stop an official wizard?" Although the blonde auntie's tone towards the fat uncle was somewhat mocking, from her determined eyes, she actually believed that the uncle's words were not wrong.
In the face of the woman's mockery, the man, who was eating the apple personally peeled by the woman, smiled and did not refute. He continued to eat the apple happily.

"Is this the little thing that hid in the book 'Pandev's Potion Essentials' and followed me?" The next day in the safe house, looking at the crystal ball that Connor showed to her in front of her, Varga asked Connor in disbelief. In her line of sight, there seemed to be only a black dot in the crystal ball. This black dot was so small that she could not even see what it was.
"That's right, this is a magical rune. Because it's currently very fragile, I've stored it in my crystal ball. Currently, I can only detect that this rune has a tracking function. As for whether it has other functions, I still need to conduct further research!" Connor nodded towards Valga and said with certainty. "That's right.
"Connor, you said it's an Occult Rune, but why can't I feel any energy from it?" Valga opened her beautiful eyes and earnestly observed the black dot in the crystal ball in Connor's hand. She asked somewhat puzzledly.
"This is normal. The energy of this Occult Rune has been used up. In the world of alchemy, energy is conserved. The more energy you put into the rune, the more energy the rune emits, and the clearer the energy fluctuations it emits. On the other hand, if you put less energy into the rune, the energy fluctuations it emits will be smaller, and it will be easier to hide. According to my deduction, the energy on this rune can only be used for a week at most!" Pointing at the black dot in the crystal ball, Connor explained to Varga in detail with a smile.
"The letter that was mailed to me didn't have this kind of rune on it?" Varga tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked Connor softly.
"I've checked it. There's no problem with the letter, and except for the book, there's nothing wrong with it!" Connor shrugged and smiled as he took out "Pandev's Selected Pharmaceutics" from his space ring and handed it back to Varga.
After receiving the book, Varga's pretty face showed a hint of hesitation. She asked Connor with uncertainty, "Connor, do you think I should follow the letter and go to Ural Villa to meet those people?"
"Ural Villa District is in the eastern suburbs of Loen. It's a high-end resort. Many rich people in Loen would choose to spend some time there every year. Although there's a small Church of the Storm there, the church didn't build the Eye of the Storm there for various reasons." Connor didn't directly answer Varga's question. Instead, he changed the topic and introduced the situation of Ural Villa District to Varga.
"Varga, I don't object to you wanting the second half of 'Pandev's Selected Pharmaceutics.' As an alchemist, I also understand your desire to gain knowledge, but with all due respect, it's not a good idea for you to go to Ural Villa. Who is the person who sent you the letter? What kind of strength does this person have? What's his purpose for doing so? We still don't understand any of these questions. Now, this person is in the dark, while you are in the open, Varga. Under such circumstances, you still want to go to the place he designated to meet him. I think this decision is too crazy! "
"And most importantly, there's no Eye of the Storm in Ural Villa District. Although the Eye of the Storm will monitor the appearance of energy fluctuations and pose a threat to our whereabouts, this threat is relative. At the same time, it poses a threat to the person hiding in the dark. With the existence of the Eye of the Storm, he will be wary of the Church of the Storm. He might not dare to make a move on you, Varga. But without the Eye of the Storm, he won't have any scruples." After introducing the situation of Ural Villa, Connor explained to Varga without holding back.
Upon hearing Connor's words, Varga immediately lowered her head and fell into deep thought. After a long time, she looked up at Connor and said, "Connor, what do you think I should do?"
"Don't go to Ural Villa!" Connor said resolutely. After giving the answer, Connor continued to explain to Varga, "We can meet them, but the time and place must be decided by us. Only in this way, Varga's safety can be guaranteed. Varga, believe me. If they are sincere, they will contact you again after you don't go this time. But if they don't have good intentions from the beginning, they will …" Connor didn't finish his sentence. Instead, he made a throat-cutting gesture at Varga.
In Varga's eyes, Connor's suggestion was very constructive. She only hesitated for a while, then nodded and agreed to Connor's suggestion. "Connor, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say!"
