"The Church of the Storm doesn't want to work with a Dark Warlock like me at all. They just want to use me to deal with Reyes. This time, I learned a lot of things. Reyes is involved in the succession of the royal family. The Church of the Storm wants him dead this time!" Connor said in a low voice.
"Succession of the royal family?" Varga's beautiful eyes flashed with a touch of doubt. She asked Connor in puzzlement.
Under Varga's puzzled gaze, Connor nodded and told Varga the information he got from Marguerite in full detail.
After listening to Connor's story, Varga fell into silence just like Connor when he first heard this from Marguerite. Varga, who digested the information, recovered from the shock and asked Connor, "Connor, how do you need me to help you?"
"It's very simple. I need Marguerite to get information about the Church of the Storm. This information can help me understand the situation inside the Church of the Storm in more detail. However, I'll probably be targeted by the Church of the Storm soon, so I won't be able to meet Marguerite, so …" Connor looked at Varga, who was in his arms, with a questioning gaze.
"So Connor, you want me to contact Marguerite for you and get the information from her?" Varga realized Connor's purpose and asked.
"Yes, this is very important. I need someone who Marguerite and I can trust to do it!" Connor nodded and said.
"Marguerite can trust me?" Varga thought for a few seconds and said doubtfully.
"Of course! Although the relationship between the two of you may not be very harmonious, Varga, you're not unfamiliar with Marguerite after all. You know each other's identities. After all, Varga saved her life when you were in Loen! "
"Although Marguerite has never expressed the fact that you saved her life, Varga, she still remembers it in her heart. Most importantly, Marguerite is a priest of the Church of the Storm. It's very risky for her to contact you, so if she doesn't trust you, she definitely won't take the initiative to contact you this time," Connor explained to Varga very seriously.
There were still two days before Connor would meet with Cristante. Although Connor was the one who initiated the meeting with Cristante this time, Connor knew that even if he didn't mention it, Cristante wouldn't let him off and would definitely come looking for him. Since that was the case, he might as well take the initiative to bring it up. At least he could gain some initiative.
Although they hadn't met yet, Connor already had a vague idea of the outcome of this meeting with Cristante. After this meeting, he probably couldn't delay the matter of how to deal with Reyes in the face of pressure from the Church of the Storm. He had to take practical action to show Cristante and the Church of the Storm behind him.
Therefore, most of Connor's time and energy would be spent on dealing with them. The Church of the Storm would also be keeping a close eye on Connor to prevent him from betraying them. Therefore, under such circumstances, how to obtain information about Marguerite and understand the internal dynamics of the Church of the Storm was very important to Connor!
"Connor, how did you know that Marguerite contacted me?" Marguerite asked Connor with some doubts. As soon as she finished speaking, she realized something and asked Connor again with some jealousy, "You met with Marguerite?"
Although Varga's words sounded like a question, from her tone, Varga clearly believed that Connor had met with Marguerite behind her back.
Connor, who felt guilty, didn't refute Varga's question. He just smiled awkwardly as a tacit admission.
Seeing Connor's attitude, Varga glared at him hatefully. However, because of the previous agreement with Connor, she couldn't say anything more. After thinking for a while, Varga said in annoyance, "Alright, I'm fine with it. I just don't know what that woman is thinking!"
Seeing that Varga agreed, Connor's chiseled face showed a smile. He said, "Varga, don't worry. Marguerite is as sensible as you. She definitely won't make things difficult for you at such a critical moment!"
Hearing Connor's words, Varga was a little annoyed. She couldn't help but glare at Connor again. Then she said helplessly, "I hope so …"
Time flew by while Connor was busy preparing. Two days passed in a flash. Connor asked Cristante to meet up with him. Connor arrived early. The meeting place was Kilian Tavern. He booked a private room and waited for Cristante's arrival.
Connor might have arrived a little early, but Cristante arrived an hour after him. He arrived at Kilian's Tavern and stood in front of Connor.
"Mr. Cristante, it's a pleasure to meet you here. This tavern is Flosinone. It's a very unique tavern. Some of the Flosinone local dishes are quite authentic. May I know what you like to eat, Mr. Cristante?" Connor said with a smile as he handed the tavern's menu to Cristante.
The last time he met with Cristante, Connor chose a suitable strategy to deal with Cristante based on the information he had at hand. Now that Connor had more information, Connor's strategy to deal with Cristante naturally had to change!
Even the experienced Cristante couldn't make sense of Connor's sudden change in attitude. He didn't know what Connor was planning. Cristante frowned and hesitated for a few seconds before he made a decision. He took the menu from Connor, but he didn't choose to open it and order. Instead, he put the menu down and said to Connor, "I'm here to discuss something. As for eating, I'll skip it!"
Although his warm face was stuck to Cristante's cold butt, Connor didn't feel awkward at all. He still maintained his smile and said, "Alright, then I wonder, Mr. Cristante, how do you plan to cooperate with me?"
Hearing Connor's words, Cristante's eyes revealed a hint of coldness. He then said coldly, "Firo told me that he has already revealed his plan to you!"
