“Any trouble recently…”
Samantha pondered, and she instantly recalled something.
Her eyes lit up as she blurted, “Pantheon…”
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Valdis waving his hand.
Valdis sneered, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
“I didn’t expect that someone would manage to escape back then.
Charles Krueger… Hah! The more I think about that name, the more disgusting it gets.”
“Master, you think Charles revealed something that led to Kendrick and Jay’s deaths?”
Although Samantha thought of that, she could not connect the two events.
“Samantha, you’re in charge of the disciples’ etiquettes and punishment, and you can apprehend any disciple,” then, Valdis glanced at Samantha, asking, “What are the steps?”
Samantha answered without hesitation, “First, look for evidence.
If the evidence is conclusive, then arrest the offender.”
“What if there’s no evidence?” Valdis added meaningfully, “After all, there are things that the disciples did not do on a whim but were planned.”
“As long as the person is identified, sometimes there’s no need to give evidence,” Samantha replied confidently.
Samantha understood what Valdis wanted to express.
Not everything required evidence.
However, if one’s hands were clean and left no clues, then the only thing that could turn into a loophole could change doubt to confidence.
Samantha nodded.
“I get it now.
Thank you for the lesson.”
Valdis closed his eyes and ordered Samantha, “Samantha, I want you to do two things for me next.”
“Sure, Master.”
“Firstly, find out what route Charles traveled since he entered Earlington of Efrax, who he was in contact with, and what went on in the Pantheon.
Last but not least, try to be as secretive as possible.
Nonetheless, I also allow you to reveal your identity at critical moments but don’t let the other party doubt the purpose of our investigation.”
“Yes, Master!” Samantha nodded.
Valdis gave her a deep look and added, “Especially the Heavenly Stars Sect disciples.
They were in contact with Charles for a long time.
The longer the person interacted with Charles, the more necessary it was to investigate them.”
In the sentence, Valdis almost directly named Caspian.
“Understood!” Samantha responded with a stern expression.
“Secondly… ” Valdis took a deep breath, obviously struggling and hesitating.
Finally, he made up his mind.
“Go and help me prepare a few things.
You have to find these things in person, and don’t let others know about them.”
The tone of Valdis’s words was more cautious than when he said the first one.
Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was very afraid that the matter would be discovered by others.
“Master, do tell.” Samantha followed Valdis for many years, and she knew well how he worked.
It must be a big thing to make him so cautious.
“Okay.
Help me find the following materials within ten days as quickly as possible.”
Then, Valdis quickly named more than a dozen materials.
At first, Samantha was confused, but her face gradually turned pale.
When one looked at the few materials mentioned, one would not think they could be used for anything, not formations nor alchemy.
However, anyone who understood a forbidden technique would realize Valdis’s purpose upon hearing all these items, conjuration!
Conjuration was a type of the Way of the Ghosts.
All beings must have souls, which would gradually dissipate after the body of the living being died.
