Although on the surface, the villa area where Sevallos lived was no different from the other areas in the manor, Connor, who was an alchemist who refined magic artifacts and a Spirit Wizard with strong mental strength and keen perception, could feel an indescribable but distinct feeling from this area.
Connor wore the silver pendant on his body. His mental strength was enhanced by the silver pendant, so he could sense the abnormality in this villa more clearly. After squinting his eyes and observing for a long time, Connor finally got an answer from the lawn surrounding the villa.
These lawns didn't look any different from the other lawns in the manor, but in fact, there was a kind of sensing array hidden under the soil. The alchemist who arranged this sensing array was very ingenious. He hid the array deep in the soil and reduced the energy fluctuations of the sensing array to a minimum, reducing the possibility of the sensing array being exposed. It was also for this reason that Connor didn't discover any clues at the first moment. He only had a vague feeling.
On the other hand, the grass all over the lawn had become the tentacles of the sensing circle because of its deep roots in the soil. As long as an outsider stepped on this lawn, there was no doubt that it would trigger the restriction of the circle.
"These grasses don't seem to have any abnormalities, but as long as I step on them, these grasses should turn into mutated magic herbs under the effect of the magic circle."
After discovering the problem, Connor focused all his attention on the grasses. After carefully studying them for a while, Connor's face turned gloomy as he muttered to himself in a low voice.
The lawn he was facing now seemed to be a very classic trick in the world of alchemy. The person who set up this method should have something on hand that could prevent the sensing circle from being triggered. There wouldn't be any problems if he walked across the lawn with this thing. However, if he didn't have this thing and walked across the lawn, he would be sensed by the sensing circle. At that time, the grasses on the lawn would turn into terrifying mutated magic herbs according to Connor's imagination and stop him from continuing to sneak in.
If a normal wizard encountered this situation, they would basically only have two choices. The first was to fly over, and the second was to walk over with brute force. It wasn't impossible to use other technical methods to break the magic circle, but obviously, it would take a certain amount of time. And right now, what Connor lacked the most was time.
If he chose to fly over without touching the lawn, then the sensing circle under the soil would naturally not sense him. However, the lawn was not small. No matter which angle he flew from to the villa in the middle of the lawn, he would have to fly at least a hundred meters. During the process of flying, he couldn't have any contact with the grasses on the lawn. Otherwise, the sensing circle under the ground would be triggered.
Only an official Magus could fly a hundred meters. If it was an Apprentice Magus, even if it was an Advanced Apprentice Magus, by relying on the Light Body Technique, they could at most fly ten meters at a time. Therefore, it was obvious that Connor could not choose this method.
If he chose to walk in with brute force, Connor couldn't be sure how powerful the mutated magic herbs on the lawn were. With his strength, he might be able to break through like a hot knife through butter and quickly enter the villa. However, there was also a possibility that he would be trapped inside. Connor couldn't be sure, but the only thing he could be sure of was that if he chose to walk in with brute force, Gursie, who had been lured away from the mountain, would be the first to know that he had invaded.
His eyes flashed quickly. Connor made his decision. He carefully took out a small box from his space ring.
As a potion master, Valga could not only concoct potions that were beneficial to Magi, but he could also concoct poisons that could kill people without leaving a trace. The small box in Connor's hand contained a type of poison that Valga had given him before. This poison was said to be able to exterminate the life force within a living being, and its effects were extremely tyrannical. Previously, Connor was not proficient in using poisons, and was afraid of accidentally injuring himself, so he left it in his space ring. Now, in this situation, it was very likely that he could use this poison to try and see if it could destroy this mutated magic herb.
If this kind of poison couldn't destroy the grass on the lawn, then Connor could only try to fight the mutated magic herbs with brute force.
Gently opening the box, Connor took out a test tube containing dark purple poison powder. He took a deep breath and then held his breath. He slowly wrapped the poison with his magic power and sprinkled it on the lawn.
"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! "
Under Connor's expectant gaze, the dark purple poison powder played an amazing role as soon as it fell on the lawn. He saw that the originally lush green grass withered directly. In just a few seconds, the lawn that was full of vitality became dead in an instant.
Taking a deep look at the shocking scene that he had caused, Connor once again took out the antidote that Varga had specially prepared for this kind of poison from the small box. A white capsule was swallowed into his stomach. After taking the antidote, Connor did not have any hesitation and directly broke into the lawn that was full of dead silence and no vitality.
Without any obstruction, Connor went directly to the villa standing in the middle of the lawn. As soon as he opened the door and walked into the villa, Connor smelled a strong smell that belonged to magic herbs.
"Swish! Swish! "
Before Connor had time to scan the interior structure of the villa with his mind power, he felt two thick vines whipping towards him.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Connor's palm fiercely chopped in the direction of the vines. Suddenly, a pitch-black light burst out from Connor's palm and chopped the two vines to the ground.
This pitch-black, gloomy, and cold light slash was a newly comprehended spell from the high-grade meditation technique "Abyss Secret Technique" that Connor practiced after breaking through to become an Advanced Wizard Apprentice. The light blade of this Shadow Magic Slash was very sharp, and because it used dark energy, it was very difficult to heal the wound after being slashed. It was most suitable for cutting this kind of vine and the like.
"Zizizizi …"
The vines that were chopped to the ground by Connor suddenly spilled highly corrosive dark green juice on the ground, making the tiles of the villa become bumpy.
"Connor Ferguson, it's actually you?"
Under the lock of Connor's mind power, about ten meters away from Connor in the villa, a long-haired young man shouted in horror.
