After sitting in the carriage for about half an hour, Connor and Martina arrived at a two-story villa on the outskirts of Loen City. The villa's surroundings were very good, and it was surrounded by lush greenery. However, what was surprising was that there was only this villa within a five-kilometer radius of such a good location. There were no other buildings apart from this villa.
The villa's exterior design style was typical of the Kaman style. It was gorgeous, but it was also mixed with a simple and solemn feeling. However, once they entered, they would discover that this was an unfinished house with a layer of cement on the ground. The gorgeous exterior and the rough interior gave people a strong visual impact.
"There are a total of seven rooms in this villa. Connor, you can choose any room. We have to stay here until the operation begins." After casually introducing a few words to Connor, Martina turned and walked to the rightmost room on the first floor. It seemed like she had already chosen her room.
Hearing Martina's introduction, Connor's heart skipped a beat. He released his mental strength, and the situation of the remaining six rooms in this villa immediately appeared in Connor's mind. After thinking for a while, Connor withdrew his mental strength, stepped onto the second floor of the villa, and chose the first room on the second floor.
Sitting cross-legged on the cement floor of the room, Connor helplessly glanced at the potholes and red brick walls. In fact, there wasn't much to choose from among the seven rooms in this villa. Other than some slight differences in the layout of the rooms, there was no difference at all. They were all ugly unfinished houses. The reason why Connor chose this room was only because Connor wanted to keep a certain distance from Martina as much as possible.
Since the last time they met at the coffee shop on Rand Street, Connor could always feel a sense of danger from Martina. In today's meeting, Connor felt a sense of danger from Martina. This attracted Connor's attention. After all, as a Spirit Wizard, Connor's perception was quite sharp. This also made Connor's intuition very accurate and rarely made mistakes.
Although the room Connor was in didn't look any different from a normal unfinished house, he still had to stay in this place for the next few days. Therefore, out of caution, Connor still carefully inspected the room. This inspection was amazing. Connor actually found some abnormalities. A trace of doubt emerged in his heart. Connor broke off a small piece of the red brick exposed on the wall.
Looking at the small piece of red brick in his hand, the doubt in Connor's eyes deepened. On the surface, this red brick didn't look any different from a normal brick used to build a house. Even if he used his mental strength to inspect it, he wouldn't be able to find any difference. However, if you touched it with your hands, you would obviously feel the difference. First of all, this red brick was at least five times heavier than a normal brick of the same volume. Second, in terms of hardness, this red brick was actually as hard as a steel plate.
Intuition and the alchemy knowledge that Connor had learned told him that this red brick wasn't simple. This situation was most likely due to the addition of some alchemy materials or the use of a special refining method in the making of this red brick.
After pondering for a while, Connor took out a silver beaker from his space ring. Then, with a move of his finger, he crushed the small piece of red brick he broke off from the wall into fine powder and poured it into the silver beaker. Just as Connor wanted to continue with the next step, Connor heard Martina's footsteps gradually coming from the stairs. Connor frowned slightly and quickly put the beaker back into his space ring. He was the only one on the second floor of the villa. Obviously, Martina could only come upstairs to look for him.
Connor's guess wasn't wrong at all. Sure enough, after a few seconds, Marguerite gently knocked on Connor's door.
"What's the matter?" Connor, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor in the room, said faintly. He didn't seem to have the slightest intention of getting up to open the door for Martina.
However, what made Connor a little unprepared was that even though he didn't open the door for Martina, Martina didn't seem to need him to open the door either. In the corridor, Martina moved her finger and the wooden door of the room was forcefully opened by her. Her cold and elegant face appeared in front of Connor.
Seeing that Martina actually dared to ignore him, Connor's face darkened. Without the slightest hesitation, he directly attacked her with a mental attack. In the face of Connor's mental attack, Martina, who had fought with Connor many times, didn't panic at all. The light blue ring on her left little finger quickly emerged with a clear blue light shield, blocking Connor's mental attack for Martina.
"I'm a little regretful now that I brought you here, Connor …" Martina pointed her finger lightly and withdrew the blue light shield that appeared in front of her. She looked at Connor with a complicated gaze and said faintly, "You're right.
The corner of Connor's mouth curved up. He knew that although Martina's gaze was looking at him, she wasn't just looking at him. She was also looking at the wall behind him! The small piece of red brick that he just broke off was broken off from the wall behind him.
"In short, Martina, I might as well give you a suggestion. Instead of letting me discover it myself, why don't you tell me in person? As long as it makes you look more generous, what do you think?" Looking at Martina with a faint smile, Connor tried to trick Martina.
"As long as your alchemy is able to do it, Connor, then it's up to you!" After taking a deep look at Connor, Martina didn't fall into Connor's trap. She actually turned around and walked down the stairs as if nothing had happened and returned to her room.
Martina's reaction really surprised Connor a little. However, this also aroused a strong interest in Connor's heart as to what the red brick could be used for.
Connor took out three steel balls from his space ring and placed them in the corner of the room. He then silently formed a seal and hit the three steel balls with it. In the next second, Connor, who felt that all the auras in the room had been blocked, had a faintly discernible proud smile on his face.
Once again, he took out the silver beaker that contained the red brick powder from his space ring. This time, with the three steel balls blocking the energy fluctuations, Connor didn't have any worries. A black flame immediately appeared in his palm and started to burn the silver beaker.
Under the burning of the black flame, the red brick powder in the silver beaker didn't change much at first. It still looked like powder. However, 30 seconds later, the red brick powder gradually started to vaporize. A faint pungent smell drifted into Connor's nose.
