Wizard Earl

Chapter 667 On the Verge of Eruption

Although it's late at night, there are several famous pubs and barbecue restaurants on Lewandowski Boulevard that stay open until late, so groups of drunkards can often be seen walking around the area late at night. The fact that it's so quiet now can only mean one thing: Lewandowski Boulevard has been blocked off!

As for why the road was closed, and recalling the information Margaret had hastily relayed, the answer immediately became obvious to Connor…

Inside the secret chamber of the Semedo Mansion, Martina, who was meditating on the ground, opened her eyes. A look of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes. For some reason, she suddenly felt a bit restless and couldn't calm her mind. No matter what she did, she couldn't enter a peaceful meditative state as usual. It felt like she had a premonition that something was going to happen.

Taking a deep breath, Martina pointed at the wall of the secret chamber, and a bronze mirror sprang out from within, showing her the situation in front of the Semedo Mansion. Seeing that there was no disturbance in front of her door, Martina's unease was temporarily suppressed. After thinking for a moment, Martina cast a spell on the bronze mirror, and the image on the mirror immediately turned into ripples on water. A few seconds later, the ripples dissipated, and the image displayed showed an area within a hundred meters of the Semedo Mansion. After carefully examining the area on the screen, Martina still couldn't find anything unusual. However, after seeing this, Martina's premonition that something was going to happen only grew stronger and stronger!

Feeling the unease in her heart, Martina simply attributed it to the tension and sensitivity caused by the immense pressure of worrying about Old Vic's arrival. Shaking her head helplessly, she tapped the wall of the secret chamber again, putting the bronze mirror away, intending to enter into meditation. She had been a high-level wizard apprentice for quite some time, and had already reached the pinnacle of that level. How to become a true high-level wizard apprentice was an urgent question before her!

In fact, as the third-in-command of the Secret Society, and a descendant of the family of the second-level wizard Conte, Martina was willing to betray the professor and become a spy planted by the Duke's faction within the professor's faction for a very important reason: the Duke promised to solve this problem for her and provide her with all the cultivation resources she needed to break through to become a formal wizard.

This is a privilege that Martina would never normally enjoy. In Martina's mind, she originally had less than a 30% chance of breaking through to become a formal wizard, but with the support of the Duke, that chance would increase to a full 70%. This is a probability that would drive any advanced wizard apprentice crazy. With such an opportunity right in front of her, Martina knew that this was an opportunity she could not refuse. If she missed it, she would definitely regret it!

Despite having used the bronze mirror to observe the entrance and surrounding area of ​​the mansion and finding nothing unusual, Martina's unease persisted, preventing her from calming down and entering a meditative state, which frustrated her greatly.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

However, just as Martina was in a bad mood, there was a heavy, urgent knocking on the door of her secret room. Hearing such disrespectful knocking only worsened Martina's mood. Just as she flung open the door, preparing to unleash a torrent of abuse on Stromann for his rudeness, Stromann, who barged into the room, abandoned all decorum and rushed ahead of Martina, shouting anxiously, "Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! This area is under lockdown!"

Strootman's anxious shout made Martina's heart tighten, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Strorootman, what are you talking about?"

Anxious, Stroman didn't waste any more words with Martina. He pulled a fist-sized crystal ball filled with impurities from his spatial ring and cast a spell on it. The crystal ball immediately shone brightly, and a light screen appeared above it. Although the image on the light screen was blurry and not very clear, it was still discernible. The image showed the situation on Lewandowski Boulevard. At this moment, Lewandowski Boulevard was completely silent, with no one present except for a few stray cats begging for food.

Upon seeing this scene, Martina was immediately startled, a chill running down her spine and up to her head. She wasn't stupid; she naturally understood why!

A fleeting bitterness flashed in Martina's eyes. She finally understood why she felt uneasy and had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. Her "blind spot" had not been able to hide it from Old Victor until her reinforcements arrived. Old Victor was about to make a move against her!

The villa area where Semedo Mansion is located is a densely populated area. Attacking a senior wizard apprentice in such a location would have a very negative impact on society. Therefore, in order to reduce the negative impact, it is natural to close the roads and seal off the community to minimize the chances of the wizard fight being discovered!

Seeing the seriousness on Martina's face, knowing that Martina had realized the gravity and danger of the situation, Strootman carefully put away the crystal ball that was displaying the light screen. Although the crystal ball looked very cloudy and the light screen it emitted was not very clear, it was the most prized alchemical item in his decades of alchemy career, which had helped him avoid danger many times!

Seeing Martina's tense expression and silence, seemingly lost in thought, Stroman, out of fear of death, disregarded everything else and quickly said to Martina, "Martina, isn't there a secret passage in this Semedo Mansion? Open it quickly so we can both leave!"

Strootman's words immediately drew Martina's attention to him, but to Strootman's surprise, Martina's eyes were filled with bitterness, and she slowly shook her head at him.

Before Strootman could even process what was happening, the gates of the Semedo Mansion suddenly exploded open, followed by an aged voice that echoed through the mansion: "Martina, hiding here really surprises me..."
