After listening to Martina's introduction, a playful expression appeared on Old Victor's wrinkled and aged face. He pondered for a while and asked Martina in a casual manner, "Martina, what do you think is going on?"
Upon hearing Old Victor's question, a hint of hesitation flashed across Martina's eyes. After pondering for about a minute, she replied, "The current information isn't enough for that 'me' to make a judgment, but I think this is definitely related to Connor!"
Old Victor nodded his head and continued to ask Martina, "Connor, where is this little fella now?"
"I'm not sure. He might have sensed the appearance of the Selta Sect and left the apartment. He might have gone into hiding!" Martina said without hesitation this time.
"Gone into hiding?" Old Victor murmured to himself in a low voice. After that, he thought for a while and said slowly, "It seems that Connor has other places to stay in the city."
After saying that, Old Victor took another sip of black tea and pondered for a while before ordering Martina, "Tell the subordinates that I don't care what method they use, they have to dig out Connor and all the places where he is hiding! But remember not to alert Connor! "
"Understood. I'll pass down the order in a while!" Martina nodded.
"What's the reaction from the Church?" Old Victor tapped his fingers on the sofa and shifted his attention back to the explosion last night. The appearance of the three advanced sorcerer-apprentices also attracted his attention.
After all, according to the current information, they could not be completely sure that the goal of these 3 elite wizards was Connor Ferguson. They could not be sure that there were only 3 elite wizards in the Loenselta Sect. What if they had an ulterior motive and made a fake attack on Connor but were actually targeting the secret society? That would be troublesome. Although the possibility of this was very small, they still had to be careful!
"Last night, half an hour after the explosion, Balero led a team to the scene. But according to our informant, the scene was very clean. The people of the Celta Sect did not leave too many traces, so Balero should not have found anything. But the informant said that because it involved the existence of an advanced Wizard Apprentice, we can't rule out the possibility of Langley personally checking the scene!" At this point, Martina paused for a moment. She looked down at the watch on her wrist and continued, "I'm not sure if it's the right time or not.
She then continued, "Because the incident is not small, Bishop Edward will have a closed-door meeting with the head of the intelligence department, Miss Lena, and the arbiter commander, Langley, in an hour. They will discuss whether to start a large-scale search of the city!"
Old Victor seemed to be very satisfied with Martina's work. He nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "The Church will not conduct a large-scale search in the city. However, with Langley as the leader, they will conduct a three-day secret search and capture of all the Adepts in the city! This operation will target the sorcerers, the H Gang, the factories, and the docks. It won't affect them too much. Just tell your men to be careful! "
Although Old Victor did not say how he knew that the closed-door meeting of the Church's higher-ups would take place in an hour, Martina was not surprised. She nodded to indicate that she had noted it down.
Seeing that Old Victor had no more questions, Martina hesitated for a while. Then, under Old Victor's murky gaze, she said in a low voice, "The Church's spy said that Marguerite might end her training in the Storm Heart early and return to Loen in a week's time!"
Hearing the name "Marguerite" from Martina's mouth, Old Victor raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "What's the reason?"
"The spy guessed that Marguerite's progress is much faster with the help of the Storm Heart. The effect is far better than expected. In a few days, the Storm Heart will affect Marguerite again, so she will naturally return to Loen!" Martina explained.
"I know. You can go back to your work …" Old Victor squinted his eyes and said expressionlessly.
After a while, when Martina left Senxi Villa, Old Victor's eyes were filled with killing intent. He lowered his head and murmured to himself, "Little girl, since you're back, why don't you play with this old man for a while?"

… …
In the safe house on Ramsey Street, Connor looked at the crystal ball in his hand. It wasn't affected by his incantation at all, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Ever since he decided to take the long view, Connor had been staying in his safe house to recuperate and train at the same time. Connor didn't pay much attention to the small bronze mirror in his apartment because he had set it to respond automatically. However, during the past few days, Connor sensed that something was wrong. After checking it, he found out that he couldn't control the small bronze mirror anymore.
Although Connor didn't know what happened, he could guess that his small bronze mirror must have been discovered and taken away by someone.
Thinking of that, a strange smile appeared on Connor's face. He took out a crudely made compass from his interspatial ring and put the crystal ball on it. In an instant, the compass emitted bursts of light, and the needle on the compass began to spin.
This was a backup plan that Connor had prepared when he set up the small bronze mirror. If the small bronze mirror was discovered and fell into the enemy's hands, he had engraved a very hidden rune on the small bronze mirror with his own blood. This rune was integrated with the small bronze mirror just like his blood, so it was very difficult for others to discover it. However, as long as the rune was still in Loen, even if it was placed in his interspatial ring, it would be captured by Connor's compass. Therefore, Connor could determine the location of the enemy.
About ten seconds later, Connor looked at the direction where the needle on the compass stopped. His eyes were filled with surprise. Judging from the needle on the compass, the small bronze mirror should be in Sails Factory District in the north district of Loen. Sails Factory District wasn't far from Ramsey Street where he was now. If he took a public carriage, it would only take him half an hour to get there. Connor didn't expect to be so close to the person who took away the small bronze mirror. This aroused a sense of interest in Connor, and he had the impulse to go and see who was hiding in the dark!
