Wizard Earl

Chapter 666 What was bound to happen has finally happened.

Just across the street from Semedo Mansion, in a residential building in the Simone neighborhood, Connor was holding a pair of binoculars, watching Semedo Mansion in the villa district across the street. Margaret, because she was still working at the Storm Church, couldn't stay with Connor to keep watch on Semedo Mansion for long, so she went back to the Storm Church first, leaving Connor alone to watch Semedo Mansion and wait for old Victor to appear.

Connor was well aware of Old Victor's abilities and the strength of his intelligence network in Rune. Although Old Victor hadn't left a mental mark on Martina like he had to track her location, with the "help" of the Storm Church and the Secret Society's intelligence network in Rune, there was no reason why Old Victor wouldn't be able to find Martina. In Connor's eyes, it was only a matter of time before Old Victor discovered Martina. Moreover, Connor believed that Martina understood this as well, so why didn't she choose a safer way to leave Rune, instead choosing to hide in the Semedo Mansion?

Was it because Martina was fearless? Or did Martina have ulterior motives? Connor doesn't know the answer to this question yet, but if he had to guess, he believes the latter is more likely!

Although he didn't know what Martina was plotting, Connor had a feeling that things wouldn't develop in his favor if they dragged on. So Connor secretly decided that he would make Martina and old Victor clash as soon as possible. If old Victor hadn't discovered that Martina was hiding in the Semedo Mansion within three days, Connor decided it would be necessary to intervene and secretly notify old Victor through Varga's channels.

Just as Connor continued to look at the Semedo Mansion through the binoculars, he paused slightly, as if sensing something, and then took out a piece of notebook paper that shimmered with a faint white light from his spatial ring.

Although Connor believed that his mentor, the secret society "Professor" Reyes, hadn't taken him in with good intentions, teaching him meditation and alchemy, he had to admit that Reyes hadn't held back anything when imparting his knowledge. Reyes had shared important spells and cultivation insights without reservation. This was what made Connor extremely puzzled about Reyes's motives. If Reyes wanted to harm him, there seemed to be no reason for him to share all his knowledge so openly. Or was Reyes so confident that even if Connor learned his knowledge, he could easily kill him?

The communication paper was one of the alchemical items that Reyes gave to Connor without reservation. As an alchemical item created by Reyes, its value in communication was undoubtedly very high. However, Reyes still recorded the materials and process of making the communication paper in great detail in "Reyes Alchemy" and gave it to Connor.

As a communication alchemy item, the crafting of communication paper is extremely complicated. The difficulty of crafting it is no less than that of ordinary level-two enchanted items, and in some aspects it is even greater. Even with the help of auxiliary chips to construct models and simulate the crafting process, Connor experienced more than ten failures before finally managing to craft two pieces a few months ago. Moreover, compared to the communication paper that Reyes crafted, which could be used three times, the communication paper that Connor crafted himself was more like a defective product, which could only be used twice at most before being scrapped.

Because there were only two pieces, Connor didn't know whether to give the other one to Margaret or Varga for emergency communication after keeping one. So, after the two communication papers were made, Connor, unable to decide between Margaret and Varga, kept both for himself, planning to make a third one and give one to each of them.

Connor had a wonderful plan, but before he could craft the third communication paper, he encountered a situation where he had to team up with Margaret to set a trap for Martina. So Connor gave one of his papers to Margaret. During the last operation against Martina, the communication paper played a crucial role in the smooth communication between Connor and Margaret!

Now, Margaret was surprised to find that she was using the communication paper to send him a message for the second and last time. He had only been separated from Margaret for less than two hours. What important information could Margaret possibly have that required such a luxurious method as communication paper to send to him?

Under Connor's gaze, the white light on the communication paper slowly dissipated, revealing a line of slightly messy text.

"Eder's trusted arbitrator, Vice Commander Zaniolo, has suddenly led thirty arbitrators out, their whereabouts unknown. Be careful! Be careful!"

Upon seeing the dozens of words Margaret had sent, Connor's expression immediately changed. After reading the message three times, his expression slowly returned to normal, but his eyes became complicated. Having known Margaret for so long, Connor could still recognize her handwriting—it was very beautiful and neat, absolutely not sloppy. However… the sloppy handwriting on the message was indeed left by Margaret. So, there was only one answer to this situation!

That is, after Margaret parted ways with him and returned to the Church of Storms, she suddenly learned of this important news and hurriedly passed it on to him. The two "be careful" notes Margaret left in the message also told Connor the extent of the crisis.

Connor conjured a ball of black flame in his hand, destroying the worthless communication paper. However, before Connor could analyze in detail where the church arbitrators who had suddenly appeared would go, as indicated in Margaret's message, Connor's expression suddenly changed. His powerful mental energy seemed to have sensed something, and he hurriedly walked towards the telescope by the window.

Raising his binoculars, Connor didn't look towards the Semedo Mansion, which he had been observing for the past hour and which was suspected to be Martina's hiding place. Instead, he looked towards Lewandowski Boulevard in the distance, where, for some time now, there wasn't a single pedestrian.

Upon seeing this, Connor's expression instantly turned serious. He understood everything; what was coming was finally about to happen!
