Chapter 94 Reyes's Message (Please add to your favorites and vote!)

He took out two shadow daggers from his spatial ring. Although the shadow daggers were still pitch black, a layer of cold silver light could be clearly seen at the blade.

With a thought, Connor's two shadow daggers spun rapidly, hovering in mid-air in front of him, and gradually becoming transparent.

Connor's gaze swept to a metal plate in the corner of the apartment, and anticipation immediately appeared in his eyes. He waved his hand at the metal plate, and the Shadow Dagger shot out with a "whoosh".

"Click! Click!"

After two crisp sounds, under Connor's control, half of the two enhanced Shadow Daggers were embedded in the metal plate. Under the sunlight shining through the apartment window, the two hollow gaps in the metal plate looked incredibly eerie.

A faint smile appeared on his face, and Connor whispered the incantation: "Show!"

As Connor's incantation was performed, the two shadow daggers emerged from their transparent state on the metal plate.

This metal plate was specially crafted by Connor to test the power of enchanted items. It was entirely made of refined steel. Even so, Connor was still somewhat uneasy, so he covered its surface with a layer of Persis Cullen steel, further increasing its hardness. Judging from the effect of the Shadow Dagger hitting this steel plate, Connor was quite satisfied.

Although the Shadow Dagger does not yet have the effect of breaking magic, its power after enhancement is sufficient for now. After he has thoroughly studied the part about breaking magic in "Reyes Alchemy" for a while, he will add the magic-breaking effect to the Shadow Dagger, and its power will surely be even more amazing!

As for the Shadow Dagger's enhanced special ability of invisibility, Connor felt it was a bit of a pity. The Shadow Dagger's invisibility could only be temporary. According to Connor's estimate, the Shadow Dagger's invisibility could only last for about ten seconds. After ten seconds, it would reappear, and it could not be used twice a day. In this way, the Shadow Dagger's invisibility effect could only be used for sneak attacks and could not be used in regular combat.

With a slight sigh, Connor consoled himself, "Something is better than nothing. Ten seconds is ten seconds, and if used well, it might be a crucial backup plan in a fight!"

Just as Connor was hesitating whether to waste one use to test the effect of the repaired Violet Ring, he suddenly felt a tremor in his spatial ring.

With a slight frown, Connor channeled his mental energy into his spatial ring. After a quick scan, he discovered that the anomaly in the ring originated from the communication paper Professor Reyes had given him. At this moment, the communication paper was emitting a dazzling white light, clearly indicating that Reyes was sending him some message.

Since it involved his mentor, Professor Reyes, Connor dared not delay and immediately put aside the matter of the experimental violet ring, hurriedly taking out the communication paper from his spatial ring.

Three seconds later, the white light on the transmission paper dissipated, and Reyes's notes were clearly revealed on the notebook paper.

"Keep a low profile and be careful lately. Don't bother me if I need anything. I left something for you under the third big locust tree at Mendi Reservoir!"

After carefully reading the message left to him by his mentor Reyes three times, Connor's gaze became extremely solemn. After sending Varga to Dr. Gulsi's private hospital last time, Connor went to Professor Reyes's villa to request the next action plan, but was stopped by old Victor because the professor was not there.

Even at Green University, Connor had heard that Professor Reyes had been granted a three-month sick leave by Green University on the grounds of illness. Now, upon receiving this news from Professor Reyes, Connor's heart tightened immediately.

Without a doubt, Professor Reyes's actions indicate that the Secret Society's plan has reached its most critical moment...

"Dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to crush it!" Connor murmured, his heart filled with unease. All signs pointed to Rune being unsafe for some time to come, plunging it into a perilous situation. He considered adopting the advice of Mr. Mustafa from the Mönchengladbach Club to leave Rune, to avoid further harm and temporarily lay low—perhaps a wise choice!

After hesitating for a moment, Connor decided to test Reyes. Using his mental power as a pen, he wrote on a communication paper: "Mentor, if things are not going well, may I temporarily retreat from the fray?"

After writing the last question mark, Connor watched the words on the communication paper gradually disappear and send it to Reyes. He couldn't help but feel nervous. He didn't know how Reyes would react to this message. Would he agree immediately and allow him to leave, or would he fly into a rage and not let him go?

Connor chose to consult Reyes instead of making the decision himself for several reasons. Besides wanting to gauge Reyes's attitude, he was also cautious to avoid any misjudgment. After all, he knew quite a few of the secret society's secrets, and if he kept quiet and went to avoid trouble, Reyes might think he was planning to defect, which would be disastrous…

Given the secret society's extensive resources, Connor didn't believe they would be unable to find him.

Holding the message paper, Connor waited a full ten minutes before Reyes responded again: "I'll contact you again when I need you to leave!"

"Sigh..." Connor sighed softly, a small fireball rose from his fingertip, burning the communication paper to ashes. The communication paper could only receive three messages, and the three had just passed. The communication paper had lost its magic and become an ordinary notebook.

Reyes' attitude was clear: he wouldn't let him leave first. Since that was the case, Connor had no choice but to plan ahead. He put on his trench coat, top hat, and sunglasses, and quietly slipped out of the apartment. He was going to Mendy Reservoir to retrieve the things Reyes had left for him under the third big locust tree at the reservoir.

Driving the carriage he had rented from the carriage company, Connor arrived smoothly at the Mendi Reservoir, the source of freshwater for the people of Loen.

Mendy Reservoir is a reservoir whose expansion was approved by the Looney City Council ten years ago, and was completed and put into use five years ago at a cost of £300,000. Originally named Leicester Reservoir, it was renamed in honor of Mendy, the chief engineer of the library expansion who worked tirelessly during the project and tragically passed away from illness.

Before the Mendi Reservoir was built, Loen would experience intermittent water outages during the summer due to a shortage of fresh water. However, after the Mendi Reservoir was built, the three northeastern and western districts of Loen, except for the southern slum, have not experienced any water outages for several years!
