Abel took out the two shadow daggers from his space ring. Although the shadow daggers were still pitch-black in appearance, a layer of cold silver light could be clearly seen at the edge of the blade.
With a thought, the two shadow daggers suddenly rotated and floated in the air in front of Connor. They gradually became transparent.
Connor glanced at a metal plate in the corner of the apartment, and a sense of expectation suddenly appeared in his eyes. He waved his hand at the metal plate, and the shadow dagger immediately shot over with a "swoosh".
"Ka! Ka! "
After two crisp sounds, under Connor's control, the two strengthened shadow daggers were half embedded in the metal plate. Under the illumination of the apartment's window, the two empty holes in the metal plate looked very strange.
A faint smile appeared on his face. Connor whispered an incantation, "Appear!"
As Connor chanted, the two shadow daggers appeared from their transparent state on the metal plate.
This metal plate was specially refined by Connor to test the power of the magic artifact. The whole thing was made of well-tempered steel. Even so, Connor was still a little worried, so he covered the surface with a layer of Posis Cullen steel plate to increase the hardness by another level. Judging from the effect of the shadow daggers hitting the plate, Connor was quite satisfied.
Although the shadow daggers did not have the effect of anti-magic, the strengthened shadow daggers' power was enough for the time being. After a period of time, he would thoroughly study the anti-magic part of "Reyes' Alchemy". If he added anti-magic to the shadow daggers, their power would be even more amazing!
As for the shadow daggers' special ability of invisibility, Connor felt that it was a pity. The shadow daggers' invisibility could only be used temporarily. According to Connor's estimate, the shadow daggers' invisibility could only be used for about ten seconds. After ten seconds, they would appear and could not be used twice in a day. Therefore, the shadow daggers' invisibility could only be used for sneak attacks and could not be used in regular battles.
With a slight sigh, Connor comforted himself. "It's better than nothing. Ten seconds it is. If I use it well, it might be a crucial trump card in a fight!"
Just as Connor was hesitating whether or not he should waste a usage to test the effects of the Violet Ring's restoration, he suddenly felt a vibration in his space ring.
With a slight frown, Connor sank his mental strength into the Space Ring. After a brief scan, Connor discovered that the abnormal movement in the Space Ring came from the transmission paper that Professor Reyes had given him. At this moment, the transmission paper was emitting a dazzling white light. Clearly, Reyes was sending him some message.
When it came to his supervisor, Professor Reyes, Connor didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately put aside the matter of experimenting with the violet ring and hurriedly took out the voice transmission paper from his spatial ring.
Three seconds later, the white light on the transmission paper dissipated, and Reyes's notes were clearly displayed on the paper.
"Keep a low profile and be careful in the near future. Don't disturb me if I have something to do. I've left something for you under the third locust tree in the Mendi Reservoir!"
After carefully reading the message that Professor Reyes had left for him three times, Connor's gaze became extremely solemn. After sending Varga to Dr. Reyes's private hospital, Connor went to Professor Reyes's villa to ask for the next step of the plan, but he was stopped by Old Victor because the professor wasn't around.
Even at Greene University, Connor heard that Professor Reyes had been approved for three months of sick leave by Greene University on the grounds of illness. Now that he received such a message from Professor Reyes, Connor's heart suddenly tightened.
Without a doubt, the actions of his supervisor, Professor Reyes, meant that the Secret Society's plan had reached the most critical moment …
"Dark clouds are looming over the city!" Connor lamented in a low voice. He was quite conflicted. Now, all the signs indicated that Loen would no longer be safe for a period of time and would fall into a dangerous situation. Taking the advice of Mr. Mustapha from the Men Xing Club and leaving Loen to seek benefits and avoid harm might be a wise choice!
After hesitating for a while, Connor decided to test Reyes. He used his mental strength as a pen and wrote on the transmission paper: "Supervisor, if things don't work out, can I temporarily avoid the danger?"
After writing the last question mark, Connor looked at the words on the transmission paper that gradually disappeared and sent it to Reyes. He couldn't help but feel nervous. He didn't know how Reyes would react when he saw such a message. Would he agree and allow him to leave, or would he fly into a rage and refuse to let him go?
The reason why Connor chose to ask Reyes instead of making the decision himself was not only to test Reyes's attitude, but also to be careful to prevent any misjudgment. After all, he knew a lot of the Secret Society's secrets. If he went to avoid trouble without saying anything, it would be terrible if Reyes thought that he was going to defect to the enemy …
With the Secret Society's extensive network, Connor didn't think that they wouldn't be able to find him.
Holding the transmission paper, Connor waited for a full ten minutes before Reyes responded again. "I'll contact you again when I need you to leave!"
"Alas …" Connor let out a sigh, and a small fireball rose from his fingertip, burning the sound-transmitting paper into ashes. The sound-transmitting paper could only accept messages three times, and after the third time, the sound-transmitting paper had already lost its magic and became an ordinary notebook paper.
Reyes's attitude was very clear. He didn't want him to leave first. Since that was the case, Connor had no choice but to make a long-term plan. Putting on his windbreaker, top hat, and sunglasses, Connor quietly slipped out of the apartment. He was going to the Mendi Reservoir to retrieve the item that Reyes had left for him under the third locust tree in the Mendi Reservoir.
Driving the carriage rented from the carriage company, Connor successfully arrived at the source of fresh water for the people of Loen City — the Mendi Reservoir.
The Mendi Reservoir was a reservoir approved by the Loen City Council ten years ago. It was built five years ago at a cost of three hundred thousand pounds. The Mendi Reservoir was originally named Lester Reservoir. However, in order to commemorate the chief engineer of the library expansion, Mendi, who had unfortunately passed away from overwork due to his illness, the Lester Reservoir was renamed to the Mendi Reservoir.
Before the Mendi Reservoir was built, Loen's water supply would be cut off from time to time due to the lack of fresh water supply. However, after the Mendi Reservoir was built, except for the Southern District of the slums, the other three districts in the northeast and west of Loen City had never had a water cut this year!
