Five days later, Connor carefully buried the last piece of black diamond-shaped metal into the ground under the watchful eyes of Emoson and Martina in a large abandoned factory in Loen's north district. As the metal piece was buried, the entire factory instantly emitted a faint wave of energy. Martina and Emoson, who were standing to the side, revealed expressions of joy when they sensed the energy wave.
Connor wiped the fine beads of sweat off his forehead and turned to Emoson as he said plainly, "In order to not arouse suspicion when the target enters the factory to search, the location where the metal piece is buried must be sealed with cement and camouflaged. I'll leave this task to you, Emoson. After all, this should be your specialty, right?" Connor purposely emphasized the word "specialty" when he said it.
Emoson smiled faintly when he heard the probing intent in Connor's words. He didn't seem to be displeased at all. He shifted his gaze to the empty space in the factory and said with a smile, "Leave the camouflage work to me. Although I don't know much about alchemy arrays, I'm sure the array you've created won't disappoint us after using so many precious alchemy materials, right, Mister Kane?"
"Now that the array is set up, if Mister Emoson is interested in giving it a try, then we can give it a try right now. Treat it as a test of the array's power!" Connor looked at the eager Emoson with a faint smile when he heard the meaning behind Emoson's words. He then directly invited Emoson. Although Connor had determined that Emoson was an assassin and an advanced Apprentice Adept, Connor still didn't know what kind of strength this assassin had. Since Emoson was interested, Connor naturally didn't mind testing Emoson's strength!
"Alright!" Emoson, who had the intention of testing the power of the magic circle, naturally agreed without the slightest hesitation when he heard Connor's invitation. Seeing that Emoson and Connor had reached an agreement to test the power of the magic circle, Martina, who was standing at the side, couldn't help but frown slightly. She seemed to want to say something, but she seemed to want to stop the agreement between Connor and Emoson. However, perhaps she also wanted to see how powerful the magic circle was, so she didn't say anything in the end.
"Please!"
Connor put away the smile on his face and pointed at the empty space in the factory that Emoson was observing. That empty space was the area where he had set up the array.
Following Connor's' please ', Emoson's expression immediately became very serious. He gave Martina a reassuring look, and then stepped into the open space where the magic circle was located without looking sideways.
"Mister Emoson, this array is merciless. If you can't withstand it, please tell me as soon as possible. Don't try to be brave, or else …" Although Connor knew that the array he had set up was mainly used for trapping and hiding people, and didn't have much destructive power, he still purposely tricked Emoson. Connor didn't say everything, but Connor believed that Emoson would definitely understand what he meant.
Emoson smiled slightly when he heard Connor's "kind reminder". He said loudly, "Mister Cain, I've traversed the four seas and encountered many arrays, but none of them have been able to hurt me. Don't worry, Mister Cain. If your array can hurt me, then my conceit will have nothing to do with you!"
Connor didn't say anything else. His eyes were full of concentration, and he spoke the ancient Byzantine language perfectly, "Rise!" As soon as he finished speaking, thirteen one-meter-long black pillars of light shot out from the ground around Emoson. Before anyone could take a closer look at these black pillars of light, they strangely merged with each other. In the blink of an eye, they formed a black light barrier around Emoson.
"Don't worry, I still have to carry out my mission. I won't hurt him!" Connor turned to Martina and said calmly. After that, Connor walked into the black light barrier.
After entering the black light barrier, Connor couldn't help but smile strangely as he looked at the black fog that filled the sky. Testing Emoson's strength was only Connor's first goal. Apart from this, Connor also had a second goal, which was to contact Marguerite through the array!
During this period of time, Connor, Emoson, and Martina had been staying in the villa. Emoson and Martina had been keeping a close eye on him. Connor hadn't found a chance to activate the bracelet and contact Marguerite. Moreover, once the array was set up, there wouldn't be much time before he made his move on Marguerite. If he didn't contact Marguerite now, it would be too late. Therefore, after refining the last metal piece for the array last night, Connor thought about it again and again. In the end, he decided to take the risk and contact Marguerite today.
Although this idea sounded quite crazy, since Emoson and Martina would be by his side, it was clear that the risk factor of this idea was actually very low if one thought about it carefully. Firstly, Connor had personally refined the array. Connor couldn't be more familiar with the functions of the array. Secondly, neither Martina nor Emoson had the ability to control the array. The array could only be controlled by Connor. According to Connor's ability, the array would be equivalent to a small independent space under his control. Within this space, whether it was Emoson or Martina, Connor was confident that he could contact Marguerite without alerting them.
This was also why Connor had provoked Emoson at the very beginning. Connor wanted to provoke Emoson and make him take the initiative to test the array. Only then would Connor have the opportunity to control the array.
"This Emoson is quite interesting …" Connor murmured with interest as he observed Emoson with his mental power in the array clock.
At this moment, Emoson displayed a very powerful concealment ability. He didn't choose to try to break through the array by force. Instead, he chose to hide in the array's black fog, which was beyond Connor's expectations. His concealment was very brilliant. He actually hid in the array without making a sound and didn't seem to be affected by the array's black fog at all.
Although Connor was very confident in the formation, due to his cautious nature, he didn't relax his inspection of Emoson at all. Therefore, under the powerful detection of Connor's mental force, Emoson's figure could be said to have nowhere to hide. He could clearly see Emoson.
