Margret's words struck a chord in Connor's heart. Connor glanced at Margret with appreciation and nodded. "Stephen Ferguson, the ancestor of the Ferguson Family, faked his death and brought this crystal ball back to the Ferguson Family. He then sealed this Saita's Heart with a crystal seal. This crystal seal is a secret alchemy seal of the Serta Sect. It's very sturdy. I've tried many times, but I still couldn't break the second seal and take out Saita's Heart!" Margret nodded and said, "This crystal seal is a secret alchemy seal of the Serta Sect.
"So I have no choice but to think of Perrin. I've used a Mind-manipulating spell on Alex Sandro. From his memory, I found that Perrin is the only Wizard who has practiced the Crystal Seal among this generation of Serta Sect Wizards. So, in order to break the second layer of the Crystal Seal and retrieve the Saeta's Heart, I can only capture Perrin alive and use a Mind-manipulating spell on him to obtain the specific content of the Crystal Seal. I'll see if there's any way to find the weakness of the Crystal Seal!"
"Marguerite, if you had killed Perrin with an Ice Spear, although I could have used the Mind-manipulating Spell on his corpse, it wouldn't have been as effective as when he was alive. He might have lost a lot of memory fragments." Connor explained his plan to Marguerite in detail.
Marguerite nodded in response to Connor's explanation. However, she seemed to have thought of something. She asked Connor, "Connor, since the ancestor of the Ferguson Family, Stephen Ferguson, left this Saeta's Heart to you, Connor, didn't he leave you any way to break the seal?"
Faced with Margret's question, Connor, who thought he was quite eloquent, couldn't help but be at a loss for words. He couldn't possibly tell Margret that he'd transmigrated here and didn't have the aura of the Ferguson Family in his soul, and that he couldn't open the crystal seal through normal means, so he could only force himself on her.
Although it was awkward, Connor was quick-witted and quickly came up with a very good excuse. Under Marguerite's questioning gaze, he shook his head bitterly and explained in a low voice, pretending to be very regretful.
"It's been a few hundred years since Stephen's ancestor. It's been too long. Marguerite, you know that the Ferguson Family hasn't been doing very well in recent years. Not many of the old artifacts left behind by our ancestors have been preserved. I've searched the family for a long time, but I haven't found a way to break the Crystal Seal. Otherwise, I wouldn't have set my sights on Perrin!"
Perhaps Connor's acting was on point, or perhaps his excuse was very reasonable in Marguerite's eyes. In any case, Marguerite didn't suspect Connor's excuse and didn't pursue it. After thinking for a few seconds, Marguerite frowned and continued to ask Connor, "Perrin has already run away. Where are we going to find him?"
"Don't worry, we have this!" Connor smiled and took out a compass from his space ring. He showed it to Marguerite.
Looking at the compass in Connor's hand, Marguerite's eyes lit up. She asked Connor, "Did Walter just give her space ring to … Perrin?"
"That's right! My small bronze mirror is in Walter's space ring. What we need to do now is to deal with this factory, then rest for a while. We'll wait for Perrin to find a place to settle down, then we'll go find him! " Looking at the moving light spot on the compass that represented the position of the small bronze mirror, Connor said confidently.
Connor had just seen Walter give her space ring to Perrin. That was why he was willing to let Perrin escape for now. Otherwise, he would have killed Perrin even if he had to suffer some minor injuries.
Thinking of this, Connor couldn't help but feel pity for Walter. This woman risked her life to send Perrin away so that Perrin could avenge her. Who would have thought that in the end, she would give her space ring to Perrin in order to prevent her life's fortune from falling into the hands of her killer? Perrin's last hope for survival was destroyed. What a pity …
After telling Marguerite everything, Connor and Marguerite started to clean up the traces of the explosion in Jose's factory. Connor had already told Marguerite that Perrin and Walter were wizards from the Serta Sect who were good at using fire spells. Fire spells were naturally more effective against Marguerite's blood witchcraft. Therefore, Marguerite didn't use any blood witchcraft during the entire process. Instead, she used the spells of the Church of the Storm to fight her enemies. This also reduced the amount of work that Connor and Marguerite had to do. After all, no matter how hard they cleaned up the traces of blood witchcraft, the traces left behind by the blood witchcraft would still make people uncomfortable.
"Is it finally over?" An hour later, Marguerite wiped the sweat off her face after cleaning up all traces of the battle in Jose's factory. She sighed with emotion as she looked at the brand new factory.
"It's over?"
Hearing Marguerite's exclamation, Connor smiled and shook his head.
"Why isn't it over yet?" Sensing Connor's attitude, Marguerite was a little puzzled.
"You're underestimating the arbitrators from the Church of the Storm. Their noses are sharper than a dog's! " Connor shrugged and joked. He then took out bags of gunpowder from his space ring and placed them on the supporting pillars in the factory.
Seeing that Connor was going to blow up Jose's factory with gunpowder, Marguerite's eyes were filled with surprise. She didn't expect Connor to do that at all.
After hesitating for a moment, Marguerite raised a different opinion, "Connor, there's no need for that. The sound of the explosion will attract the attention of the arbitrators!"
In response to Marguerite's opinion, Connor continued to put gunpowder on the supporting pillars as he continued, "My last safe house was so well-hidden. I only leaked a trace of energy fluctuation and the Church of the Storm found me. Marguerite, do you know? After that, I removed all the alchemy mechanisms I installed in Ferguson's apartment, afraid that the church would find out! "
"Marguerite, you saw it just now. This factory was turned into a sea of fire by Perrin. Although you and I have removed the traces on the surface, in fact, some energy still seeped into the walls. It's very difficult for us to completely remove it, so in order to completely eliminate everything here, I can only choose to blow this place up into the sky with explosives!"
