Hearing Connor's answer, Philo, who was disguised as Mr. K, was obviously disappointed. Although his face couldn't be seen because of the gray cloak, he still had some shrewdness. Although he was disappointed, he didn't show it too obviously.
Van der Beek, who was beside him, didn't have such good self-control. He ignored Mr. K's attempt to stop him and sneered at Connor, "Connor Ferguson, are you playing with us?"
Facing van der Beek's ridicule, Connor did not refute it. Instead, he coldly glanced at van der Beek. Under Connor's gaze, van der Beek, who was arrogant and unscrupulous just a second ago, suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He recalled the pain caused by Connor's Mental Energy Storm and the anger in his heart instantly cooled by half. However, for the sake of his face, he still stubbornly endured and did not show any weakness. Instead, he pretended to be ferocious in front of Connor.
At this moment, Firo, who was disguised as Mr. K, said with a wry smile, "Connor, you know that I'm also a man of my word. If you do this, I won't be able to report to my teacher. I know that your teacher is a very cautious person, and he won't easily reveal the secret to others. However, we believe that Connor Ferguson, with your ability and means, you will definitely discover it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Firo turned his gaze back to Connor. Vander Bekke also looked at Connor the same way.
Under Firo and Van der Beek's gaze, Connor smiled and said, "You really think highly of me, but you're right. Although he didn't tell me, I do have some clues. I think I can tell you that the relic you're looking for should be near Flosinone. However, I still need to go back to Flosinone and use the information in my family's library to deduce its specific location."
Van der Beek and Mr. K had different reactions when they heard that Connor said that the relic was near Flosinone. Van der Beek was very surprised, while Mr. K didn't seem surprised at all. He even seemed a little dissatisfied with Connor's answer.
"Three days later, I want to meet Cristante in Kilian's Pub in Flosinone. Help me pass on my message." After secretly observing Van der Beek and Mr. K's expressions, Connor said to Van der Beek, "Don't worry.
Van der Beek, who was immersed in the joy of finding the relic near Flosinone, didn't expect Connor to talk to him. He was stunned for a moment, then said coldly, "I'll pass on your message, but Sir Cristante might not be willing to meet you!"
"Don't worry! As long as he's not stupid, he'll definitely meet me! " Connor said confidently. After that, Connor ignored the two people in front of him and directly turned to walk towards Iprua. If he remembered correctly, there would be a train from Iprua to Flosinone in half an hour. If he left now, he would be able to catch the train and return to Flosinone as soon as possible. This was very important for Connor who was pressed for time.
Looking at Connor's back, Van der Beek suddenly said to Mr. K in a serious tone, "Sir Cristante is right. Connor Ferguson is a dangerous person!"
Mr. K, who was thinking about something, smiled bitterly after hearing Van der Beek's evaluation of Connor. He also glanced at Connor's back, which had already turned into a black dot, and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, he's very dangerous!"
… …
… …
Four hours later, Conor Ferguson, who had returned to Flosinone from the city of Ipurua, confirmed that the surroundings were fine.
After confirming that he was safe and that no one was spying on him, the first thing he did was to ask Marguerite to meet him.
It seemed that Marguerite was also waiting for Connor at the same time. The two of them hit it off and soon met at Spezia Park in downtown Flosinone.
They sat on a bench in the park with their backs facing each other. Before Connor could ask, Marguerite took the initiative to ask anxiously, "Connor, what happened on your side?"
Hearing Marguerite's question, Connor's heart skipped a beat. He faintly had a bad premonition, so he immediately asked, "Marguerite, what happened?"
"A day ago, the Church of the Storm in Flosinone secretly sent out two level-1 wizards, Dezerby and Milik. They each led a team of arbitrators to monitor the surroundings of the Ferguson Residence and Ferguson Manor. At the same time, the Flosinone City Hall has also restricted the members of the Ferguson Family from entering and exiting the Ferguson Residence and Ferguson Manor for road repairs and other reasons."
"In the Ferguson Residence, your Miss Potion Master has already met with Dezerby, who is in charge of monitoring the Ferguson Residence. Your Miss Potion Master's temper is really terrible!"
"Connor, you should feel lucky. Lucky that the level-1 Magus in charge of monitoring the Ferguson Residence is Dezerby and not the hot-tempered Milik. If not for Dezerby's calm personality and restraint, your Countess might have been taken down by the Church of the Storm yesterday!" Marguerite quickly explained to Connor.
"How is Varga now?" Connor did not have the time to pay attention to the jealousy in Marguerite's words. Worried about Varga's safety, he immediately asked.
"In the beginning, when she realised that the Church of the Storm was monitoring the Ferguson Residence, she seemed to think that you were in danger and was agitated. She wanted to leave the Ferguson Residence and almost got into a conflict with Dezerby because of this. Afterwards, I saw that she had lost her rationality and was about to force her way out of the Ferguson Manor."
I used some methods to pass a message to her, telling her that you were fine for the time being and that the Church of the Storm was using the Ferguson Residence to threaten you. After that, she became much quieter and obediently stayed in the Ferguson Residence! "Marguerite calmly explained.
Although Marguerite had downplayed the situation, Connor was very clear that under such circumstances, Marguerite had to take a huge risk in privately contacting Varga, who was under the surveillance of a level-1 Magus and a team of Arbiters. If there was even the slightest mistake, Marguerite would not be able to escape calamity and would face an internal trial from the Church of the Storm!
