"As you can see, this Connor Ferguson lives in the busiest place in Loen, Rand Street. This place is covered by the Church of the Storm's Eye. If we do anything to Connor Ferguson here, I can guarantee that in less than half an hour, the Arbiters of the Church of the Storm will move out. Then, we will be hunted down by the Arbiters of the Church of the Storm. You know that Loen is the traditional sphere of influence of the Church of the Storm, so even if an official Magus appears among the Arbiters of the Church of the Storm, it wouldn't be surprising!"
Walter shrugged and continued. Although the content of her words was very serious, there was a hint of mockery in her tone!
"Corella is my brother, but that doesn't mean that I have to follow his footsteps in everything I do. That's not what I want!" The name "Corella" from Walter seemed to have hit Perrin's soft spot. Perrin raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "What are you talking about?
Seeing Perrin's expression, Walter's face looked innocent, but a trace of cunningness and pride appeared in her eyes. She had walked on more bridges than Perrin, so she naturally didn't know what Perrin was concerned about. She purposely mentioned Corella's name to provoke Perrin. She couldn't handle this operation alone. She needed the help of this genius Magus with a rebellious personality. Judging from Perrin's reaction, she wasn't far from success!
"What do you plan to do?" After retorting to Walter, Perrin thought about it again and asked Walter, "What do you plan to do?
"So you've chosen your big sister?" Walter threw Perrin an M eye and said seductively.
"Hmph!" Perrin snorted coldly in response to Walter's M eye. He then said in an unfriendly tone, "It's not like you don't know that I don't get along with that bitch Emily. Emily and Sandro are both Professor van der Vaart's students. They've always had a good relationship, so I can't work with Sandro!"
Walter seemed to be convinced by Perrin's reason. She swirled the coffee in her cup with a smile and looked at the luxurious Ferguson condominium not far away outside the window. She said slowly, "Perrin, have you heard of a famous quote from Emperor Laurel?"
"What saying?" Perrin frowned and asked in return.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!" A strange smile appeared on Walter's face as she said each word clearly. If Connor was here, he would definitely be amused by her strange Chinese pronunciation.
Then, Walter turned his attention back to Perrin. Seeing that Perrin was frowning and deep in thought, Walter explained, "This sentence means that the mantis wants to eat a type of insect called 'cicada', but what the mantis doesn't expect is that behind it, a bird is also waiting to eat it!"
Perrin's eyes lit up as soon as he heard Walter's words. Clearly, Walter's explanation made him understand what Walter's plan was.
Walter smiled when she saw Perrin's eyes light up. She looked out the window at the Ferguson Apartments and continued, "I know Sandro very well. He doesn't have much patience, and he's known for his ability to execute orders. So, Sandro will definitely take action against Connor Ferguson in a week or half a month! The two of us only need to wait until Sandro takes action and the Church of the Storm's attention is all on Sandro. Then, we can take the item from Sandro! "
Speaking up to this point, Walter glanced at Perrin before continuing, "We need a scapegoat to help us fend off the Church's arbiters, and Sandro is the best choice. Perrin, go and buy two tickets to the New World in half a month's time!"
"Why are we going to the Khoy Continent?" Perrin asked with a look of confusion in his eyes.
Seeing that Perrin didn't realize her intentions, Walter rubbed her forehead helplessly and said, "After the Church of the Storm finds out about Sandro's identity, the Church of the Storm will definitely investigate the route from Loen back to Garotenia. In order to avoid the Church of the Storm, we won't go to Garotenia after taking the item. Instead, we'll take the opposite route and go to the New World. Then, we'll go to the New World from the New World to the Porsis Empire, and then return to Garotenia from the Porsis Empire. Although it's a detour, our safety is guaranteed!"

In the safe house, Connor, who hadn't realized that he was being watched, squinted at the cube crystal in front of him.
He had been recuperating in the safe house for the past few days. Varga was right. This wasn't the first time he suffered from the backlash of his magic power. Although a genius pharmacologist like Varga was doing her best to help him recover, he still had to be careful and not let his guard down. Varga had warned him repeatedly that if Connor suffered from the backlash of his magic power again, he would be in big trouble!
In order to not leave any sequelae, Connor had been strictly following the treatment methods left behind by Valga these past few days, recovering and treating his mana backlash injuries. As for Valga herself, because the secret society gave her a mission to concoct potions, she had already returned to the hospital 2 days ago to concoct potions, leaving Connor alone in the safe house. However, Valga said that she would come back a week later to check on Connor's recovery.
The treatment method left behind by Valga was very effective. Therefore, Connor, who had recovered most of his strength in the past few days, couldn't stay idle in his spare time. He couldn't help but take out the large crystal and ponder over it. Whether it was Stephen Ferguson's strength, the value of the cube crystal itself, or the letter with the words "Blood" and "Soul" written on it, Connor was filled with interest towards this cube crystal. Somehow, Connor had a feeling that this cube crystal left behind by Stephen Ferguson, the ancestor of the Ferguson family, would have a great impact on his future!
After studying the letter with the words "blood" and "soul", Connor believed that it was a hint. Stephen Ferguson was hinting to the descendants of the Ferguson family how to use the large crystal when they opened the ruby space ring in the future!
The reason why Connor thought so was not because he thought of it out of thin air. Instead, it was a conclusion that he came to based on the combination of the ancient books and his research on this cube of crystal in the past few days!
