"Sir, what would you like to have? Our restaurant's grilled steak and roasted lamb leg are all imported from the Odin Plains by train. They are very fresh, and we also brew our own beer. The taste is very refreshing and mellow. You won't be disappointed."
A tall and skinny waiter in the Durst Tavern didn't notice the strange interaction between Connor and Cristante. When he saw Connor find a seat, he thought that Cristante and Connor were together. He immediately put on a standard smile and introduced their tavern's dishes and drinks to Connor.
Glancing at the enthusiastic waiter, Connor took out a one shilling note from his wallet and threw it to him. He then said indifferently, "Give me a glass of lemonade and a grilled steak!"
"Understood! I'll send it over right away! "
The tall and skinny waiter took the one shilling note from Connor and replied to Connor. He then walked to the back kitchen.
After the tall and skinny waiter left, Connor once again focused his gaze on Cristante, who was eating with relish in front of him.
Cristante Eddingkamp, also known as Cristante, according to Marguerite's information, this person was born in a family of priests of the Church of the Storm in Loen. He received the most orthodox theological education from a young age. Due to his talent as a Magus, he joined the Church of the Storm's adjudicator system at the age of fourteen. In less than twenty years, he went from a beginner Apprentice Magus to an advanced Apprentice Magus and transferred out of the adjudicator system of the Church of the Storm.
After leaving the adjudicator system, Cristante became a priest of the Church of the Storm and preached in the Bentgodia region in the southwest of the Kaman Empire. Thirty years ago, under the protection of the Storm Goddess, he successfully broke through from an advanced Apprentice Magus to an official Magus. He was then transferred to the headquarters of the Church of the Storm in the imperial capital, Bernabeu.
This was Cristante's resume and also his identity information. However, that day in the private room of the Smith Hotel, other than telling Connor about this, Marguerite also told Connor about her other conjectures about the identity of Mr. Cristante, the representative sent by the Church of the Storm to meet Connor.
Due to the limitations of her authority in the Church, Marguerite did not obtain any strong evidence to prove the true identity of this Cristante. However, according to the rumors she heard in the Church over the years, Marguerite guessed that this Mr. Cristante's true identity was not as simple as a priest of the official Magus rank in the Church of the Storm.
According to semi-public information, when Cristante became an advanced Apprentice Magus, he left the adjudicator system and transferred to the Church of the Storm's church in the Bentgodia region in the southwest of the Empire. He became a priest there and was responsible for preaching to the people there about the morality of the Church of the Storm. However, Marguerite believed that it was just a smokescreen. The Church of the Storm was trying to use such a method to conceal Cristante's true identity.
In fact, Marguerite believed that after leaving the adjudicator system, Cristante Edinkamp relied on his good performance as an adjudicator to join the Church of the Storm's most mysterious intelligence organization – Blake's Organization!
Cristante developed step by step in Blake's Organization. Finally, with the help of the Church of the Storm's cultivation resources, he broke through and became an official Magus. After so many years, Cristante's current true identity was very likely to be the head of the infamous intelligence organization in the Church of the Storm's headquarters, Blake's Organization.
Because Blake's Organization was the most important department in the Church of the Storm, in order to show its importance, the head of Blake's Organization had always been the Pope of the Church of the Storm or the successor of the Pope of the Church of the Storm.
The current head of Blake's Organization was a strong contender for the next Pope of the Church of the Storm, Cardinal Hummel. However, because Hummel wasn't familiar with intelligence work, and in addition to his own cultivation, he had to deal with some internal matters of the Church, he was usually very busy.
Hence, although Hummel was the head of Blake's Organization in name, he was only a figurehead. He only made decisions on some important matters. The daily work of Blake's Organization was all done by the second in command, which was the head of Blake's Organization.
In other words, Mister Cristante, who was sitting in front of Connor, was very likely to be the biggest head of intelligence in the Church of the Storm!
Although Marguerite didn't tell him the basis of her speculation, and there was no evidence to prove her speculation, Connor, who was familiar with Marguerite's personality, clearly understood that since Marguerite was willing to share her speculation with him, it meant that she was very confident in her speculation. If she wasn't certain, she would never tell him about it.
When he heard this from Marguerite, which was only her speculation, Connor was also very shocked. However, Connor soon realized that if Marguerite's speculation was correct, Mister Cristante, who was sent by the Church of the Storm to meet him, was really the head of Blake's Organization. This meant that Cristante wasn't here for him.
Although he was an official Wizard and had inherited the title of Earl Ferguson, which made him the backbone of the hereditary nobles of the Kaman Empire, his identity was very sensitive. It was a very difficult problem for the Church of the Storm to deal with him, a Dark Wizard. However, no matter how difficult it was to deal with him, it wouldn't be enough for the Church of the Storm to send the head of Blake's Organization's intelligence. Such an absolute high ranking member of the Church of the Storm specially came from the headquarters of the Church of the Storm in Bernabeu to meet him.
Since he wasn't here for him, why did Cristante come to meet him?
Connor vaguely had an answer to this question in his heart.
While Connor was waiting for his food, Mister Cristante finally finished all the food on his plate. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the grease at the corner of his mouth. He then looked at Connor and said, "Connor Ferguson, you're more confident than I thought."
"Is that so? Then I'm quite honored! "Connor was neither servile nor overbearing in the face of this great intelligence head's praise.
"Unfortunately, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too confident. It can easily turn into arrogance!" Cristante put away the handkerchief and shook his head as he spoke to Connor.
