"Miss Isabella, I've already told you to forget about what happened earlier. As long as we do what Miss Isabella told us to do and help her take care of Conner Ferguson, this might be a chance for us brothers to show our faces in front of the Lord!" Sabz's eyes narrowed as he looked at Sabz's expression. Sabz's eyes narrowed as he looked at Sabz's expression. "Miss Isabella, we've already agreed to let this matter go.
"If we can gain the recognition of that lord, the two of us will have a bright future in the Secret Society. It's even possible for us to become official Adepts and have a lifespan of several hundred years!"
At the end of his speech, a flash of ambition appeared in Grand Saber's eyes.
Hearing his brother's words, Little Saber, who was still regretting his decision to talk back to Isabella, paused for a moment. Then he thought about his brother's words, and his face lit up with excitement.
… ….
… ….
At this time, 100 kilometers away from the Catherine Hotel where the Sabitz brothers and Isabella were staying, deep in the mountains in the suburbs of Tunguska, Connor Ferguson, who still didn't know that he was being watched, looked at the familiar environment and nodded slowly. Then, he formed a seal in each direction. As Connor formed the seal, ripples appeared in the forest in the middle of the night. A few seconds later, the illusion formation that Connor set up here was removed by Connor, revealing its original appearance — a very hidden cave.
Connor waved at Varga, signaling her to follow. He then took the lead and walked into the cave.
He lit up the oil lamp he left in the cave, and the orange-yellow light lit up the cave like it was daytime.
Valga surveyed the surroundings of the cave. Her beautiful eyes flickered with radiance, as though she was very curious about this cave. A few seconds later, Valga shifted her gaze to a pile of black dregs at a corner of the cave. After sizing it up with interest for a short while, Valga pointed at the black dregs and asked Connor.
"Connor, what are these things?"
Connor glanced at the black debris in the corner of the cave that he hadn't gotten rid of in time. He didn't know how to answer Varga's question. He never thought that he would one day bring someone else to this secret cave, even if that person was Varga.
Seeing that Connor was in deep thought, Varga understood that Connor had something he couldn't say. Instead, she turned to Connor and asked, "Connor, when are you going to try to break through?"
"Waerga, wait for me in the cave. I'm going out alone to get something. I'll start trying to break through when I return." Waerga's understanding touched Connor. He deliberated over his words before saying softly, "Waerga, wait for me in the cave.
Hearing Connor's vague explanation, Varga still didn't understand. However, she suppressed her doubts and didn't ask further. She nodded obediently at Connor, indicating that she would stay in the cave.
Connor also nodded slightly at her, then turned and walked out of the cave. He walked towards the reeds on Mercedes Lake in the western suburbs of Tunguska, where the Magic Stone mine was located. Just like the previous times when he took the Magic Stones from the Magic Stone mine, Connor successfully obtained tens of thousands of Magic Stones. But this time, while taking the Magic Stones, Connor destroyed the ten mining puppets that were mining the Magic Stones, and buried the remains of the puppets in the abandoned tunnel of the Magic Stone mine.
Although refining mining puppets was a very difficult task, Connor didn't have a choice. His departure this time wasn't a short trip of a few weeks or a month. There was a high chance that he wouldn't be able to return to Loen for a few years. If he couldn't return to Loen, the alchemy puppets that he refined would be completely scrapped under the radiation of the Magic Stone mine if they weren't repaired. It was also impossible to move the ten alchemy puppets out of the Magic Stone mine that was dozens of meters below the surface.
Moreover, if Connor couldn't rush back to Loen for a long time, the ten alchemy puppets that had been corroded by the Magic Stone mine would also pollute the Magic Stone mine to a certain extent, affecting the quality of the Magic Stones produced in the future. Therefore, although refining alchemy puppets that could mine Magic Stones was a very troublesome matter, what Connor did was undoubtedly correct in the long run. After all, as long as Connor didn't die, he could refine ten alchemy puppets that could mine Magic Stones at any time as long as he had the materials.
After temporarily shutting down the Magic Stone mine, in order to ensure that the Magic Stone mine wasn't discovered by others when he wasn't in Loen, Connor rearranged the concealment array on the reed marsh above the Magic Stone mine. A few hours later, after dealing with the Magic Stone mine, Connor hurriedly rushed back to his secret cave. At this time, Varga was quietly waiting for him in the cave.
Looking at the well-behaved Varga in the cave, who was ready to help him break through, Connor's heart softened. He hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered to Varga, "Varga, do you know why I built such a secret stronghold here?"
Although he didn't know why Connor asked this question, Varga said without hesitation, "Connor, didn't you say that you used this place when you broke through to become an advanced Wizard Apprentice?"
"That's part of the reason, but the biggest reason why I came to a small town like Tunguska is that when I was still an intermediate Wizard Apprentice, I found a Magic Stone mine here. However, my ability was limited at that time, and I couldn't mine the Magic Stone mine alone, so I found Marguerite from the Church of the Storm to cooperate with me to mine this Magic Stone mine."
"And this cave is where I'm in charge of refining the raw Magic Stones mined from the Magic Stone mine. As for the black dregs you just saw, Varga, they are the impurities I refined from the raw Magic Stone mine!"
"Varga, the reason why I didn't tell you just now is because Marguerite and I have an agreement. No one is to reveal the existence and location of the Magic Stone mine to others!" Looking at Varga, Connor slowly explained.
"Connor, did you really find a Magic Stone mine here?" After hearing Connor's explanation, Valga, who was fully aware of the enormous value of a magic stone mine, was clearly astonished.
