Just one street away from Semedo Mansion, in a residential building in Simone Community, Connor was holding up a pair of binoculars and looking at Semedo Mansion in the Bi Villa District. As Marguerite was still working at the Church of the Storm, it was impossible for her to follow Connor to keep an eye on Semedo Mansion. Therefore, she returned to the Church of the Storm, leaving Connor to keep an eye on Semedo Mansion alone and wait for Old Victor to appear.
Connor had a deep understanding of Old Victor's abilities and the strength of his intelligence network in Loen. Even though Old Victor didn't leave a mental mark on Martina like he did and could track her location, with the "help" of the Church of the Storm and the Secret Society's intelligence network in Loen, there was no reason for Old Victor not to discover Martina's whereabouts. In Connor's eyes, it was only a matter of time before Old Victor discovered Martina. Besides, Connor believed that Martina also understood this point. Then, why didn't she choose a safer way to leave Loen, but chose to hide in Semedo Mansion?
Was it because Martina wasn't afraid of death? Or did Martina have other motives? Connor still didn't know the answer to this question, but if Connor were to guess, Connor believed that the latter was more likely!
Although he also didn't know what Martina was plotting, Connor had a hunch that if the situation were to drag on, it wouldn't develop in a direction that was beneficial to him. Therefore, Connor had secretly made up his mind to make Martina and Old Victor break out into a conflict as soon as possible. If Old Victor didn't discover Martina hiding in Semedo Mansion within three days, Connor decided that it was necessary to intervene. He would secretly inform Old Victor through Varga's channels.
Just as Connor continued to look at Semedo Mansion with the binoculars, he was slightly taken aback as though he had sensed something. Then, he took out a piece of notebook that was shining with a faint white light from his space ring.
Although Connor believed that his mentor, "Professor" Reyes of the Secret Society, didn't have any good intentions when he took him in as a student, taught him meditation techniques, and taught him alchemy, he had to admit that Reyes didn't hide anything when he imparted knowledge to him. Some important spells and cultivation insights were also given to him by Reyes without any reservations. This was also why Connor couldn't understand Reyes' intentions. If Reyes wanted to harm him, he didn't seem to have any reason to impart his knowledge to him without any reservations. Or was it that Reyes was so confident that he could easily kill him even if he learned his knowledge?
The transmission paper was one of the alchemy items that Reyes had given to Connor without any reservations. As an alchemy item created by Reyes, it was undoubtedly very valuable in the field of communication. However, Reyes still recorded the materials and refining process of the transmission paper in great detail in "Reyes Alchemy" and gave it to Connor.
As an alchemy item for communication, the refining of the transmission paper was very complicated. The difficulty of refining it wasn't any lower than a normal level-2 magic item. In fact, it was even more difficult in some aspects. Even with the help of the auxiliary A.I. Chip, Connor had experienced more than ten failures before he was finally able to refine two of them a few months ago. Compared to Reyes's transmission paper that could be used three times, Connor's transmission paper was more like a defective product. It could only be used twice at most. After that, it would be scrapped.
Because there were only two of them, Connor didn't know if he should keep one and give the other to Marguerite or Varga for emergency communication. Therefore, after the two transmission papers were refined, Connor couldn't make a choice between Marguerite and Varga. He decided to refine the third transmission paper and give it to himself, Marguerite, and Varga.
Connor's plan was perfect. However, before he could refine the third transmission paper, he encountered the trap set by Marguerite. Therefore, Connor gave one to Marguerite. During the previous mission, Connor and Marguerite were able to communicate so smoothly because of the transmission paper.
Now that Marguerite was actually using the transmission paper for the second and final time, Connor was greatly surprised. After all, he had only been separated from Marguerite for less than two hours. In such a short period of time, what kind of important message did Marguerite have that she had to use such a luxurious transmission paper to send to Connor?
Under Connor's gaze, the white light on the transmission paper slowly dissipated, revealing a line of scribbled words.
"Adair's trusted aide, Vice Arbiter Commander Zagnolo, led thirty Arbiters and suddenly moved out. Their whereabouts are unknown. Be careful! "
Reading the dozens of words that Marguerite sent, Connor's expression suddenly changed. After reading the message three times, Connor's expression gradually returned to normal, but his gaze became complicated. After knowing Marguerite for so long, Connor could recognize her handwriting. It was very elegant and neat. However, the scribbles on the transmission paper were indeed left by Marguerite. There could only be one explanation for such a situation.
After parting with him, Marguerite suddenly learned of this important news after returning to the Church of the Storm. In a hurry, she passed the message to him. The two words that Marguerite left in the message also told Connor how dangerous the situation was.
A ball of black flame rose from Connor's hand, and he destroyed the worthless transmission paper. However, before Connor could carefully analyze where the Church's arbiters would go in Margaret's message, Connor's expression suddenly changed. His powerful mental strength seemed to have sensed something, and he hurriedly walked towards the telescope by the window.
Raising his binoculars, Connor did not look at the Semedo Mansion that he had been observing for the past hour where Martina was suspected to be hiding. Instead, he looked at Lewandowski Avenue in the distance. He did not know when, but the number of pedestrians had started to disappear.
Seeing this, Connor's expression instantly became serious. He understood everything in his heart. What was supposed to come was finally coming!
