Chapter 554
Connor Lint, who had been at the Allied Forces’ camp, had been lured by Sarkegar to the outskirts of the camp where Antirianus had lain in wait. Once there, he fell under Antirianus’s hypnosis and was transported to the sewers via mass teleportation. As a result, he had no idea what was happening.
Despite this, he didn’t attempt to escape, likely because he was somewhat familiar with Antirianus. After all, he had been kidnapped by Antirianus once before. It wasn’t a pleasant sort of familiarity, but it was familiarity nonetheless.
Honestly, Connor Lint could have escaped if he wanted to. However, despite his panic, he eventually did not do so.
“So, what do you want from me?” he asked.
Although I hadn’t explained everything in detail, Connor Lint knew I was trying to deal with the Gate Incident in my own way.
He was fundamentally a good guy. He hadn’t just been lured here by a woman; he probably just couldn’t ignore someone asking for help and wanted to lend a hand.
Of course, it would be a lie to say we didn’t hold any advantages over him.
“What could I possibly want from you?” I asked rhetorically.
“My supernatural power?” he replied.
“That’s right. I’m trying to get into a place that’s hard to access.”
Connor Lint was a fool, but he wasn’t a complete fool. The fact that I’d sought him out, despite having powerful mages with me in the capital, meant I was trying to enter a place inaccessible by magic.
“Is it the Temple? What are you planning to do there...? Ellen is at the camp, isn’t she?”
