Wizard Earl

Chapter 682 Old Victor Arrives!

Moreover, it wasn't just Martina; the information Margaret had previously revealed to him about Stefano Ferguson and Politano being rescued by old Victor also indirectly confirmed the speculation that Martina's current boyfriend, Reyes, was his uncle.

Thinking of this, Connor secretly made up his mind that after this incident, he must find Margarita and get the second half of the video of Politano's trial. Given his current relationship with Margarita, Connor believed that Margarita would not hide anything from him anymore.

Connor's eyes flickered a few times, then he turned expressionlessly to Martina and continued, "My second question is, where is Reyes now? Will he have time to deal with me?"

"A few days ago, the Royal Family sent me a message to appease me. In the letter, in addition to telling me that their reinforcements would be arriving in Rune soon, they also told me that Reyes was currently in the capital city of Bernabeu. Not only him, but also the great alchemist Southgate who had just defected from the Skull and Bones Society to join the Secret Society, as well as Bispin, whom you once met, and several other formal wizards, all accompanied him to infiltrate Bernabeu."

"Although the royal faction didn't tell me in their secret letter what Reyes and his group were planning in the capital, Bernabéu, they assured me that Reyes and his other official wizards would definitely not return to Rune for at least a year! You have a year to do whatever you want, Connor!" Martina hinted meaningfully to Connor.

"Martina, since your reinforcements are about to arrive in Rune, why do you still want to sail out to sea and leave Rune? You're probably going to the New World, aren't you?" Connor sensed the hidden meaning in Martina's words, but he didn't fall for it. Instead, he calmly asked Martina a question in return, putting her in a difficult position!

Upon hearing Connor's words, Martina's face instantly turned ugly. Relying on the fact that Connor was bound by the oath of the Eye of Arbitration, preventing him from harming her, she glared at him hatefully, then said in a low voice, "Connor, since you've already figured it out, why are you deliberately humiliating me? I'm of no value to the Royalist faction now, so for my own future, I'm going to the New World to start over. Are you satisfied now?"

Connor shook his head upon hearing this, then asked Martina, "Since you've chosen to leave the Royalist faction, I'll just ask you one more question: how many days until your reinforcements arrive in Rune, and what is their strength?"

"The Sabitzer brothers, a pair of twin high-level wizard apprentices, are very powerful and often help the Duke's faction with dirty work. Because they are twins, they can cast a combined spell. They will enter Rune from Thornbird Wharf in two days. As for anything else, I don't know!" Perhaps she really intended to leave the secret society, Martina glanced at Connor and did not refuse Connor's request for this bonus question, answering without hesitation:

Martina's honesty pleased Connor, who nodded in satisfaction. He then held up one finger at Martina and said, "One last thing, how did you know that the meditation method I practiced was an Abyss Secret Technique, and what methods Reyes used within it?"

"Connor, you know your mentor Reyes is also a psychic wizard, right? Although the Duke and the Professor nominally maintain the unity of the Secret Society, in reality, the two factions have already split. The Red Baron, the head of the Duke's intelligence department, has already begun researching the Professor as a potential enemy. As their mole planted in the Professor's faction, I inevitably had to share some information with the Red Baron to help me gather more valuable information, allowing me to understand and judge what information is valuable to them!"

"That's why I had the opportunity to obtain from the Red Baron their speculations about the professor's background. The Red Baron also speculated that after becoming a full-fledged wizard, the professor switched to Abyss Arcane Arts, so I suspect he had you also switch to this advanced meditation technique!" Martina explained.

However, just as Martina was about to continue speaking, Connor raised an eyebrow, seemingly noticing something. Without hesitation, he unleashed his innate spell in Martina's direction. Seeing Connor attack her, Martina, who was about to continue speaking, was utterly astonished, not understanding why Connor would suddenly attack her, bearing the consequences of violating the oath of the Eye of Arbitration…

However, just as Martina subconsciously tried to defend herself, Connor's Abyss Chains swept across Martina's body and struck the seemingly empty air beside her. The air struck by the Abyss Chains immediately rippled with energy, and then a silver needle about the length of a finger, gleaming with a faint blue light, appeared in mid-air.

Struck by Connor's innate spell, Abyssal Chains, the silver needle, which had been concealed from view, trembled violently, halting its attack on Martina and flying back towards the fishing village of Alavés at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing the silver needle appear nearby, Martina understood everything. She knew Connor had saved her life. Giving Connor a grateful look, she decisively ran behind him. At that moment, Connor had no time to pay attention to Martina's movements behind him. His gaze was fixed on the direction of the fishing village of Alavés. He sensed the appearance of someone he knew very well, and also someone he greatly feared…

Three seconds later, under Connor's gaze, a small black dot slowly appeared in front of Connor in the direction of the fishing village of Alavés. As time passed second by second, the small black dot gradually transformed into the hunched figure of old Victor leaning on his cane.

As Connor saw Old Victor suddenly appear in his field of vision, his heart sank. It had only been about three hours since Martina left the Semedo Mansion, and Old Victor had found this place so quickly. He was quite surprised. This old guy was indeed not simple!

Martina, who was hiding behind Connor, also looked at the appearing old Victor, and a look of despair immediately appeared in her eyes. Now that the old Victor had caught up with her, even if Connor let her go and Steve, who was piloting the boat for her, was not dead, she was doomed!
