Marguerite originally wanted to directly remove the arrow from her shoulder, but when she heard Connor's instructions, a look of doubt suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes. Although she was a little puzzled, she still chose to believe Connor without hesitation. She nodded slightly to indicate to Connor that she would not touch the arrow.
Seeing this, Connor was relieved to prepare to clean up the scene. Connor took out two large barrels of specially processed kerosene that he had already prepared from his space ring and poured it on the traces of the battle between Marguerite and Martina. Although this was a rural area with few people, the risk of being discovered was not small because it was not very far from Loen City, so he had to be careful!
Connor moved very quickly. Within a minute or so, the kerosene that Connor had prepared had covered all traces of battle on the ground. After finishing this, Connor nodded with satisfaction. Although this black, viscous and pungent liquid was called kerosene on the stone steps, it actually had another very resounding name on Earth — — petroleum!

Although petroleum had been discovered in this world, the value of petroleum had not yet been widely recognized due to the industrial level of this era. The use of kerosene was still in the initial stage of exploration. At this stage, coal was still the unshakable number one industrial raw material in this world.
When Connor discovered kerosene in Loen's mineral market a year ago, he was really excited and couldn't wait to buy nearly a ton of it to do alchemy experiments. He was eager to see what kind of wonderful reaction would be produced when alchemy and petroleum, the blood of the industry, collided in this extraordinary world … The special kerosene that Connor was using now was the result of his experiment after combining petroleum and alchemy.
A thought passed through Connor's mind and a small flame immediately rose from his fingertip. Connor gently blew a breath of air at it. Immediately, the small flame gently floated to the top of the kerosene and landed. When the flame made contact with the black kerosene that Connor had specially made, it was as though dry firewood had been ignited upon contact with a raging fire. In less than a second, the area that the kerosene had reached had turned into a raging sea of fire. Even the injured Margaret, who was standing at the side, could not help but reveal a trace of surprise in her eyes when she saw the ferocity of the fire.
Looking at the rapid fire in front of him, Connor Ferguson, as the initiator, had a complacent look in his eyes. In this world, he might have the deepest understanding of petroleum, and he was also the only person who knew how much energy it had. The special kerosene that was burning now was specially prepared by Connor Ferguson for today's operation. He added several additives to the petroleum and then carefully refined it. This way, once the special kerosene burned, the fire would be very rapid and burn very thoroughly. However, this kind of burning would not last long, and the longest time it would burn would not exceed a minute. Combining these three characteristics, this special kerosene was simply the best treasure to kill people, destroy people, and clean up the scene!
With this item, Connor no longer needed to use his Spirit Fire and black flame to clean up the scene bit by bit. Not only was it faster, the consumption was lower, and it was also cleaner.
The fire lasted for about half a minute before it was completely extinguished. The ground was pitch black, and there were no traces of the battle that took place here more than ten minutes ago.
Seeing this, Connor smiled and turned to Marguerite, who was beside him, and said, "It's done. Let's go!"
Hearing Connor's voice and witnessing the magical scene in front of her, Marguerite, who was looking around with amazement in her eyes, came back to her senses and nodded at Connor.
… …
… …
Twenty minutes later, in the villa that Leonie bought for Connor and Marguerite on the outskirts of Loen, Connor and Marguerite, who had ambushed Martina, rushed back. As Marguerite's shoulder was still pierced by the arrow, Connor didn't have any rest and immediately started working.
Under Marguerite's gaze, Connor took out a bottle of pale yellow medicinal wine, a small but extremely sharp silver knife, and some white powder with a strange fragrance from his space ring.
Marguerite glanced at the serious expression on Connor's face and the tools that he took out from his space ring. She couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked Connor, "Connor, what's so special about this arrow that you need to go through so much trouble?"
Upon hearing Marguerite's question, Connor didn't answer her question immediately. Instead, he focused on the preparation work of removing the arrow from Marguerite's shoulder. He used his Spiritual Flame, the black flame, to carefully burn the extremely sharp silver knife that he took out from his space ring.
After disinfecting the silver knife, Connor waved his hand and motioned for Marguerite to reveal her shoulder to him. When Marguerite unbuttoned her clothes and revealed her fair and delicate shoulder to him, Connor picked up the bottle of pale yellow medicinal wine and gently cleaned Marguerite's wound while saying slowly, "Marguerite, I'm sure that the mastermind who killed Tussam with an arrow in front of me is Martina! The arrow that Martina shot at you is exactly the same as the one she shot at me when I killed Tussam! "
Marguerite, who was being cleaned by Connor, didn't seem to be surprised by Connor's affirmation. She nodded and said, "Connor, did you leave a mark on Martina's body?"
Marguerite's question immediately caused an undisguised bone-chilling killing intent to surface in Connor's eyes. He said expressionlessly, "Of course, it's just that Martina isn't a careless person, so I set up my Spiritual Mark on her body very covertly. Although it's more likely to fool Martina this way, the mark's effect isn't very obvious. I can only vaguely sense Martina's current location now."
After listening to Connor's explanation, Marguerite shook her head slightly regretfully and said somewhat helplessly, "That's the only way. The power of that longbow in Martina's hand is really terrifying. If I hadn't cast a spell to block it just now, I would've been seriously injured even if I didn't die." At this point, a trace of dread flashed through Marguerite's eyes.
