Holding the compass in his hand, Connor checked the room of about 150 square meters. He found some women's clothes that matched Varga's figure in the wardrobe, as well as some women's products in the bathroom. But most importantly, he found a silver ring hidden in the ashes of the fireplace, and a metal cube in the sponge of the sofa.
After finding these two things and checking them, Connor took out the alchemy item hidden in the door frame. Just as Connor had guessed, it was a crystal ball about the size of a child's glass ball. Rather than a crystal ball, it would be more accurate to call it a crystal bead.
The reason why Connor didn't take the crystal bead out of the door frame was because he was worried that there might be other alchemy items in the room. If he took the crystal bead out, it would cause a chain reaction, leading to some uncontrollable consequences. In fact, Connor's careful decision was not wrong. There was indeed a connection between the crystal bead in the door frame, the silver ring in the fireplace, and the metal cube in the sofa.
After checking the three alchemy items for a few minutes, Connor came to a conclusion about their functions. The crystal bead was responsible for recording the images of people who entered the room. The metal cube on the sofa was some kind of sensor device. Once it sensed energy fluctuations in the room, it would be triggered to send a signal to a certain place. As for the silver ring hidden in the fireplace, although it looked like a space ring, it was actually a connecting hub that connected the crystal bead in the door frame and the metal cube in the sofa!
Among the three alchemy items, the silver ring hidden in the fireplace was the most difficult to find. Even with Connor's means, he had to find the metal cube in the sofa and determine that there was another connecting hub. Only then did he spend a lot of effort to find the silver ring in the fireplace. No matter if it was the metal cube in the sofa or the crystal bead in the door frame, the silver ring would be triggered immediately and activate a certain function.
As for the specific function of the silver ring, Connor still didn't know. He needed to conduct a further analysis of the three alchemy items to find out.
After searching the room, Connor didn't find any other clues apart from the three alchemy items. Therefore, when Connor was about to use the three alchemy items one by one, he suddenly sensed something and frowned slightly.
At this moment, under the cover of the night, two dark figures stealthily avoided the patrolling security guards of Verona and crept towards the exquisite three-story building in the center of Connor's neighborhood.
"Matthew, do you think we can find the item that Boss wants us to find in this Apothecary's house?" They quickly arrived at the second floor of the small building, which was also the entrance to Varga's house. A skinny man in a black windbreaker asked his companion in confusion.
At this moment, his companion, who was called Matthew, was squatting on the ground with some tools in his hands. He was trying to find a way to open the door without leaving any traces behind. When Matthew heard his companion's question, he stopped what he was doing and thought for a while before he said, "Charles, I don't know if we can find it here, but since Boss wants us to come here, we can only do as he says. After all, our anti-magic potion is in his hands!"
"Sigh … Why do you think Boss is doing this now? Once those guys from the Secret Society find out what we are doing now, do you think they will let us go? I have a bad feeling that something bad is going to happen to us this time, "Charles said with a sigh.
Hearing Charles' sigh, Matthew continued to fiddle with the lock of the door in front of him while saying self-deprecatingly, "Something happened? Aren't we always in trouble now? We demonized knights are always living a life of licking blood on the tip of our blades. Who knows when we might die? "
"Charles, there were about a dozen of us when we first came to Loen, but in just a few months, there are only two of us left. Last time, Morata and the other three went on a mission with Boss for the Secret Society, and what happened? None of the four of us survived. All of us died! You and I are lucky to be alive now. Who knows when the two of us will die … "
Charles could empathize with Matthew's self-mockery. He nodded in agreement, then said with some regret in his voice, "I shouldn't have been greedy for this damn power back then. If I were still at home now, I might have a wife now …"
"It's done! Stop sighing and get to work! There's no medicine for regret in this world! " Matthew shrugged helplessly at Charles, then opened the door and walked into Varga's house first.
"These damn members of the Secret Society! We can live in such a nice house, but we have to live in that cold and damp warehouse … "Charles gritted his teeth as he walked into the room and looked at the exquisite furniture and furnishings in the room. He even spat on the floor of the room, on the luxurious Portia carpet! …
Matthew frowned slightly when he saw Charles' action. He was a little displeased. Charles was outside the house just now, so it didn't matter what he did. However, his and Charles' mission required them to be discreet and not leave any traces behind. Although Charles' spit didn't seem to be a big problem, it could very well lead to their failure in the mission.
Just when Matthew was hesitating whether he should warn Charles or not, he seemed to have sensed something. His expression changed all of a sudden, and he wanted to run out of the door. However, before he could move, he suddenly felt as if his head was hit by a sledgehammer, and he fainted on the ground. The last thing he saw before he fainted was his companion, Charles, lying on the ground …
Connor walked out of the darkness and looked at the two Magic Knights who had fainted on the ground with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He had been hiding in the dark and had heard the entire conversation between the two. If Connor wasn't wrong, the Magic Knights who had followed Great Alchemist Southgate to the Secret Society didn't seem to be welcomed by the Secret Society. They often did some very dangerous missions, and the Magic Knights were quite resentful about it.
