Martina, who was trapped in the Castilla array by Connor, actually calmed down. She urged her combined magic artifact to form a protective barrier around her. Then, she quickly took out a bottle of red and blue potion from her space ring and swallowed it. After drinking the potion, Marguerite's condition immediately recovered a lot, and her breathing also stabilized.
Connor, who was outside the array, saw this situation and his eyes revealed a faint trace of helplessness. The entire process of killing Emoson seemed very easy, but in reality, it still consumed a lot of the array's energy. After all, Emoson was still an advanced Apprentice Adept. Therefore, Connor had no choice but to attack Martina the moment she was trapped in the array.
A few spells were cast into the array, and a moment later, ten Black Warriors, under Connor's command, hid in the black fog near Martina. After doing all this, Connor turned his head to the side and said seriously to Marguerite, who was also taking a potion and adjusting her breathing, "This woman has a combined magic artifact. Marguerite, help me hold the array. If this woman rushes out of the array, immediately kill her with your blood witchcraft!"
"I know, Connor, be careful. Her combined magic artifact is very powerful!" Marguerite nodded and reminded Connor with concern.
Connor smiled at Marguerite and walked into the Castilla array, secretly holding the silver pendant in his hand. Just as Connor was about to launch another mental attack on Martina, Martina seemed to have sensed that Connor had already entered the array. She said faintly, "Connor Ferguson, I think we can talk. I originally wanted to build trust with you through Varga, but now we might have to be more direct!"
"Trust me! I'm not trying to stall for time, and I don't need to do that! It won't do you any harm to have a talk with me now, Connor! "
Hearing Martina mention "Varga" again, Connor, who was about to launch an attack, couldn't help but hesitate. He didn't know what Martina was planning. After making a quick decision, Connor decided to give Martina a chance. He said softly, "You have ten seconds to tell me what you want to say!"
"That's impossible! First, I need to understand the relationship between you and Marguerite, Connor! " When Martina heard that Connor only gave her 10 seconds, she immediately shouted angrily, "What are you doing?!
However, Connor didn't seem to care about her anger. His deep voice once again sounded in the Castilla array, "You have five seconds …"
Martina glared angrily at the black fog surrounding her with her beautiful eyes. In the last second of the ten seconds that Connor gave her, she gritted her teeth and said, "James Trading Company!"
"Who are you, Martina?" After getting the answer from Martina, Connor didn't launch an attack on Martina after ten seconds. Instead, he pondered for a moment before asking Martina another question.
"Connor, I've already answered one of your questions. Now, it's your turn to answer mine. What's your relationship with Marguerite? Have you joined the Church of the Storm?" This time, Martina didn't choose to compromise. She asked Connor very seriously.
"Marguerite is my friend. That's all. I have nothing to do with the Church!" After thinking for a long time, Connor decided to answer Martina's question.
"Connor, you and I aren't kids anymore. This isn't my first day knowing you, Connor. Do you think I'll believe that you and Marguerite are just friends? Will you risk your life for a friend? " Martina asked back with a sneer. She even emphasized the word 'friend', as if hinting to Connor that she knew something.
Realizing that Martina seemed to have misunderstood his relationship with Marguerite, Connor frowned. However, it was obvious that Connor couldn't explain everything to Martina in the current situation. Could it be that he had to tell her, "Oh! I know that Marguerite knows the forbidden blood witchcraft. Marguerite knows my true identity. I have something on her and she has something on me. We have too many benefits intertwined between us. Are we tied to the same rope? "
"You can think whatever you want. But I have nothing to do with the Church!" After hesitating for a moment, Connor said faintly. He emphasized that he had nothing to do with the Church to prevent Martina from misunderstanding. As for his relationship with Marguerite, since Martina had already misunderstood, then he might as well let her make the best of it. Anyway, Martina's way of thinking could explain everything that happened.
"Very well!" Martina seemed to be very satisfied with Connor's attitude. She pondered for a moment and said to the black fog in the magic circle, "Connor, Varga should have told you about the relationship between the factions in the secret society, right?"
"Martina, I don't have much time to waste on you. You'd better get to the point!" Connor was a little impatient with Martina's cautiousness. He wanted to hear what he was interested in from Martina.
"I'm a spy that His Majesty the Duke planted in Professor's faction!" After hesitating for a moment, Martina finally revealed her secret.
Although Connor had already vaguely guessed Martina's identity from the words' James Trading Company 'that Martina mentioned, he was still very excited to hear this news from Martina.
"If I remember correctly, Martina, your surname is Conti?" Although he was very excited, Connor still maintained his vigilance and asked a question that he was very confused about.
"It seems that you don't understand the secret society, Connor. We are a Magus family. There are hundreds of people in our family with the surname Conti. I'm just one of them. I'm just a junior with some potential to Augudo Conti, also known as His Majesty Conti. However, because of my identity, I'm very valuable to His Majesty the Duke. Do you understand, Connor? " Martina did not beat around the bush with regards to Connor's doubts. Instead, she gave a very clear explanation.
After listening to Martina's explanation, Connor fell into deep thought. He was very excited and conflicted at the same time. He had to admit that Martina's explanation was very reasonable to him. It was enough to make him believe that Martina was a pawn that His Majesty the Duke planted in Professor's faction. However, reasonable reasons did not mean that what Martina said was necessarily the truth. There were many reasonable reasons in the world, but how many of them were true?
