And just as the green will-o '-the-wisp erupted, Martina, who was hurriedly fleeing from the pine forest in the distance, also seemed to have sensed it. She stopped and took off the grimace mask on her face, revealing her cold and elegant face. Looking at the center of the forest where the green will-o' -the-wisp erupted, a strange smile appeared on Martina's face. She whispered to herself in a low voice, "Connor, are you ready? Our game is about to begin … "

In the basement of Connor's safehouse on Ramsey Avenue in the North District of Loen.
Connor, with a gloomy face, leaned on the big sofa, his eyes carefully looking at the iron arrow with a faint green light in his hand. A few hours ago, it was this iron arrow that pierced through Tussam's temple, directly killing him on the spot. It also completely destroyed Tussam's soul, making it impossible for Connor to use his Spirit Manipulation on Tussam.
In the chase just now, the mysterious person who shot the Green Light Arrow had shot a total of six Green Light Arrows, but because the last five had exploded on Castilla's enchantment, only this one actually fell into Connor's hands, the one that killed Tussam.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact was right in front of him. He, Connor Ferguson, had been schemed against. He and Tussam had fought, and in the end, the third party had indeed benefited from it!
After returning to Loen, before coming to the safehouse, Connor went to the Loen Railway Station. After going there, he pretended to be a passenger and learned from the railway station staff that the train that Tussam was going to take from Loen to Garotania was suddenly canceled by the Loen Railway Administration last night, which was the night before the train officially departed! As for the reason for the cancellation of the train, there was only one word — unknown!
Although the railway station staff didn't give any reason, how could Connor not understand that Tussam was killed by an arrow in front of him? Why didn't the train, which should have started normally, suddenly get canceled? There was no doubt that someone was behind this! And this person who was playing tricks should be the one behind the scenes that Tussam was talking about. He was most likely the one who shot the Green Glowing Arrow in the pine forest and killed Tussam!
Judging from the information that Tussam had divulged to him, the reason why Tussam was able to attack Varga was because of this mastermind's instigation. Once Tussam had finished attacking Varga, the mastermind would have achieved his goal. Tussam would no longer be of any value to him, and he would then kill Tussam!
Thinking of this, Connor's eyes became gloomy. He threw the iron arrow in his hand to the ground. Tussam was right about one thing. The mastermind was like a snake, lurking around him!
The Rubik's Cube that he found in the trunk of the pine tree was a psychic power radiator. It created psychic waves to attract his psychic power to lock onto it, so that he would mistakenly think that the Green Glowing Arrow was shot from somewhere. Back then, in order to catch up to the person who shot the arrow, Connor was careless and fell into the trap of the Rubik's Cube. He was lured to the vicinity of the pine tree by the Rubik's Cube.
However, what Connor did not expect at that time was that the Rubik's Cube was not only a diversion, but also a trap within a trap. It was a trap to kill him. The design of the Rubik's Cube was very ingenious. Although it was a psychic power radiator, it hid Kuilin's Venom.
The so-called Kuilin's Venom was the venom of a magical beast called the Kuilin Serpent. An adult Kuilin Serpent was equivalent to an advanced Sorcerer-Apprentice, and its Venom was the main attack method of the Kuilin Serpent. The Kuilin Serpent's Venom was extremely terrifying. It was different from the venom of ordinary snake-type magical beasts. Although the Kuilin's Venom was liquid under normal conditions, when it attacked the enemy, it would spontaneously combust into a mass of poisonous fire that covered a large area. This poisonous fire was extremely lethal. In the Sorcerer World, many advanced Sorcerer-Apprentices had died from this Kuilin's Venom, which led to its illustrious reputation.
Although Connor did not know how the Rubik's Cube was able to hide the highly toxic and corrosive Kuilin's Venom inside, he knew that if he had not smashed the Rubik's Cube to the ground in anger and exposed the Kuilin's Venom to the air, it would not have taken long for the Rubik's Cube to completely corrode it. At that time, if Connor, as an alchemist, had wanted to study the Rubik's Cube and put it in his space ring, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Connor himself might not even know how he died!
In a sense, when Connor found out that he had been tricked, he was so angry that he smashed the Rubik's Cube to the ground as if to vent his anger. In a sense, Connor's life was saved. Thinking about it now, Connor's back still felt cold. He felt very fortunate that he had saved his life! However, after rejoicing, Connor carefully thought about two unusual points. He realized that the mastermind behind the scenes was definitely very familiar with him!
First, the mastermind behind the scenes knew that his mental strength was very strong and could lock onto the position of others as soon as they made a move. That was why he had set up the Rubik's Cube, a mental strength radiator. Mental strength locking sounded very simple, but it was very difficult to do. Even as a mental strength wizard, Connor had spent a lot of effort to master this. As for other advanced apprentices who could master mental strength locking, it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that only one out of a hundred advanced apprentices could master it. However, to say that only one out of fifty advanced apprentices could master it was not an exaggeration at all!
Secondly, the mastermind behind the scenes also knew of his obsession with alchemy. A mental strength radiator like the Rubik's Cube was an absolutely rare item in the Sorcerer World. Although Connor had heard of it, he had never seen it with his own eyes. Therefore, it was still very tempting to an alchemist like him. In fact, after Connor smashed the Rubik's Cube to the ground, he regretted it a little. He wanted to pick it up and put it in his space ring, so that he could study it properly when he returned to Loen.
He was familiar with Connor's habits as an alchemist and knew that Connor could perform mental strength locking. From these two points, it could be seen that the mastermind behind the scenes had a very deep understanding of Connor Ferguson.
