Wizard Earl

Chapter 691 The Appearance of a Mysterious Man

Struck by the black light, the pale purple crystal ball seemed to be stimulated by something. The purple light inside the crystal ball suddenly intensified, and then without any warning, a purple water arrow shot out from the crystal ball, heading straight for Connor's face!

Although the purple water arrow appeared suddenly, Connor was clearly prepared. His smile remained unchanged as he waved his hand, sending a powerful gust of wind that blasted the arrow against a nearby boulder about a meter long. The moment the boulder made contact with the water arrow, purple smoke immediately rose from it. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that in just an instant, the incredibly hard boulder had shrunk by more than half due to corrosion, demonstrating the immense corrosive power of the purple water arrow!

Shifting our gaze from the boulder back to the crystal ball, perhaps due to the release of the purple water arrow, the initial purple hue of the crystal ball was gone, and its color returned to the crystal ball's original transparent color.

Seeing that the crystal ball had changed like this seemed to be somewhat unexpected for Connor. Connor raised an eyebrow, his eyes revealing a slight doubt. He observed the transparent crystal ball for another minute, and after noticing any further problems, Connor picked it up from the ground and began to examine it seriously.

"Connor, is there something wrong with this crystal ball?" Noticing Connor's unusual behavior, Varga came to his side and asked curiously:

Hearing Varga's question, Connor snapped out of his reverie about the crystal ball, carefully placed it into his spatial ring, and shook his head, saying to Varga, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go back and discuss this!"

···············

···············

When Connor and Varga joined forces to defeat Old Victor, no one expected that on the beach of Alavés fishing village, a person who should have died from Old Victor's golden light slash would slowly rise from the sand.

"Ha ha ha ha····"

Looking at the endless, deserted beach before her, Martina, despite the excruciating pain all over her body, couldn't help but burst into laughter, overjoyed at surviving such a close call.

At this moment, Martina couldn't help but admire her foresight ten years ago. Back then, she had just broken through to the advanced wizard apprentice level, and due to a lack of cultivation resources, her cultivation progress was not very smooth. So, tempted by the abundant cultivation resources offered by the Duke's faction, she chose to betray the professor and become an undercover agent. Perhaps knowing what a terrible fate would be if she were discovered, Martina learned a very useless secret technique at that time!

This secret technique is called Silver Wheel. It's not very useful under normal circumstances, and it's extremely difficult to cultivate. The only reason Martina chose to cultivate it and persisted in cultivating it for ten years was that the only function of the Silver Wheel secret technique was to—feign death!

After a cultivator masters the Silver Wheel Secret Technique, when needed, they can use this technique and instantly lose all aura and life force, appearing no different from a dead person!

So when Old Victor's golden light slash came, Martina had the ability to defend herself even if she tried her best, but she knew that even if she managed to defend herself, she would die in Old Victor's next attack. So after hesitating for a moment, Martina directly used the Silver Wheel Secret Technique to make it look like she died in Old Victor's golden light slash.

Feeling the pain all over her body, Martina took out a potion from her spatial ring and swallowed it. Then, before the potion could fully dissolve in her body, Martina dragged her tired body toward Alavis. It seemed that although her faked death had temporarily fooled old Victor and Connor, these two were both smart men and might realize what was going on at any time and launch a surprise attack.

So for her own safety, Martina felt she had to find a fisherman in the small fishing village immediately to take her out to sea in a fishing boat, so that she could get rid of Connor and old Victor, those two dangerous men.

Fifteen minutes later, Martina had just approached the fishing village of Alavés when she noticed a person wearing a black raincoat emerging from the village entrance. Since it was daytime and there was no sign of rain, this person dressed in black immediately caught Martina's attention.

Moreover, Martina couldn't see the mysterious person's face clearly because of the raincoat, and the person seemed to have noticed Martina's presence, silently watching her from a distance.

This scene startled Martina, giving her a sense of foreboding. She instinctively reached for her spatial ring, where her last resort lay—the Kahn Magic Bow! Martina knew that although she was severely injured, if the situation became critical, she was willing to pay a terrible price to fire a green-glowing arrow from the Kahn Magic Bow.

After staring at the person in the black raincoat for about ten seconds, Martina, whose ominous premonition was growing stronger, turned around and headed straight for the woods near the fishing village without stopping, trying to shake off the mysterious person who had given her this ominous feeling. To Martina's relief, the mysterious person in the black raincoat did not follow her after she left.

Seeing this, Martina, who continued walking, couldn't help but laugh at herself. This person in the black raincoat was probably just an ordinary person who happened to make eye contact with her. She was just being overly nervous and seeing threats everywhere.

However, just as Martina reached the grove and was about to return to the fishing village of Alavés, a faint female voice suddenly reached her ears: "Martina, seeing you like this, I think I must have missed something?"

The appearance of that voice immediately made Martina's expression stiffen; she realized who it belonged to...

"Tap! Tap! Tap!"

Just then, footsteps sounded behind Martina again, as if someone had come up behind her. Noticing this, Martina took a deep breath and slowly turned around. She saw that the person behind her was the mysterious man in the black raincoat who had stared at her for more than ten seconds at the entrance of Alavés fishing village.
