Stroking the quaint ring on his finger, Connor sent his mental strength into it. In this spatial ring, apart from some of Connor's miscellaneous items, there was also a dark blue suitcase that looked a little old. This suitcase was something that Bisping had given to Connor in the secret society's safe house.
Connor didn't know what the organization that Reyes and Bisping belonged to was, but it seemed like he, Connor Ferguson, had automatically become a member of this organization without anyone asking for his opinion!
At the thought of this, Connor's expression couldn't help but turn ferocious. He hated the feeling of having his fate dictated by others. His own fate should always be in his own hands! Furthermore, Connor had always been careful and cautious when it came to his own life. Yet, this secret society had killed a bishop of the Church of the Storm in Loen, causing an uproar in Loen. How audacious was this?
Wasn't hanging around with them the same as licking the blood on the tip of a knife and sticking his head to his belt?
Shaking his head and restraining the ferocious expression on his face, Connor sighed. What was done couldn't be undone. There was no point in thinking about it now. The objective fact that he had become a member of the secret society wouldn't change just because of his subjective will. Now, he could only take one step at a time!
After returning to Grimm University in the evening, Connor immediately walked to Reyes's villa near the university. Although he didn't know what was in the suitcase that Bisping had given him, Connor could tell from Bisping's serious attitude when he handed it over to him that it definitely contained something extraordinary.
Driven by his desire, Connor had tried to use the A.I. Chip to examine the suitcase, but the A.I. Chip only detected a layer of blood-red patterns on the surface of the suitcase that couldn't be seen with the naked eye. Other than that, there was nothing else. After careful consideration, Connor gave up on the idea of taking the suitcase out of consideration for his own safety.
Since he had already decided to give up, Connor didn't want to keep the hot potato that was the suitcase by his side. Whether the suitcase was good or bad, he would leave it to Reyes to decide.
When he arrived at the villa, before Connor could knock on the door, Connor received a telepathic message from Reyes. "Come directly to the study!"
"Mentor, this is what Bisping wanted me to pass to you!" Connor walked to the study without any obstructions. He respectfully took the suitcase out of his spatial ring and handed it to Reyes, who was sitting behind the desk.
After receiving the suitcase, Reyes stroked the surface of the suitcase with his palm. Following his movements, a layer of strange blood-red light immediately appeared on the surface of the suitcase. The blood-red light lasted for half a minute before gradually dimming. Reyes nodded in satisfaction and looked at Connor with a smile, "I believe that blabbermouth Bisping must have told you some things about the Secret Society. However, I should now formally introduce the Secret Society to you. After all, whether you want to join or not, you are now a member of the Secret Society."
"The Secret Society is an organisation of dark Magi, and Connor, your superior is undoubtedly me!" After saying this, Reyes pointed at himself.
Connor stared intently at Professor Reyes. Seeing that he didn't say anything after saying "your superior is me", he couldn't help but feel strange. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Mentor, are you done with your introduction?"
"That's right! It's very concise, isn't it? "Reyes nodded, seemingly very satisfied with his own introduction.
After receiving an affirmative answer from Reyes, Connor didn't say anything, but the strange feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger. He originally thought that Reyes would tell him some bullsh * t about the order of the organization and that he had to carry it out to the letter.
As if he had seen through Connor's doubts, Reyes smiled and shook his head. "Connor, you are my disciple. From the beginning, some of the rules of the Secret Society didn't apply to you. You just need to remember not to betray me!"
Hearing this, Connor's expression froze. He immediately stood at attention and bowed deeply to Reyes. With a serious expression, he said, "Mentor's great kindness, Connor will forever remember it in his heart. How could I be ungrateful?"
"Mentor believes in you!" Reyes nodded with a smile. In front of Connor, he opened his briefcase and took out a small pouch, handing it to Connor.
"This is … a magic stone?" Connor took the small pouch and sensed the pure energy fluctuation of the black crystal in the small pouch. He said in disbelief, "That's right.
Reyes pointed at the small pouch and gave an affirmative answer. "Low-grade magic stones, suitable for apprentice-level Magi!"
Looking at the dozen or so black crystals in the pouch, Connor said sincerely to Reyes, "Thank you for your guidance, Mentor!"
"This is nothing …" Reyes smiled and waved his hand. He muttered to himself for a while, then opened the first drawer of his desk and took out a crystal ball, placing it in front of Connor.
A ripple appeared in the crystal ball, and the face of a petite and cute girl slowly appeared.
Looking at the familiar face of the girl that appeared in the crystal ball, Connor could not help but cry out, "Varga?"
Reyes had a playful smile on his face, and said leisurely, "Connor, this is your little lover. Recently, many people have been looking for her and her grandmother …"
Hearing Reyes's words, Connor was shocked. He did not have time to refute Reyes's claim that there was nothing between him and Varga. He hurriedly said, "Mentor, do you mean that there are people looking for trouble with Varga and her grandmother?"
"Your little lover and her grandmother were originally from a family of Magi in the Religion of the Earth that specialized in potions. However, there was an internal struggle for power in the family. Varga's parents were killed, and Varga's grandmother fled with Varga to Loen. They have been hiding here ever since!"
"According to the information obtained by the Secret Society, Varga's grandmother, Mary, copied all of their family's potion formulas before they fled. Therefore, many Magi organizations, including the Spirit Worship Sect and the Secret Order, are looking for them. About a week ago, Mary's grandmother exposed her whereabouts. If it weren't for our Secret Society destroying the seventh secret warehouse of the Church of the Storm and having the Church of the Storm conduct a thorough search of the city, I believe that they would have become prisoners by now!" Reyes said calmly.
When the Religion of the Earth obtained information about Varga's background from Reyes, Connor was shocked. When he saw Varga's grandmother, Connor had a hunch that she was also a Magi. Otherwise, how could an ordinary old lady remove the anti-magic bullet from her chest and heal her gunshot wound?
