He shook his head and said, "Martina, you've overestimated my alchemy skills. I've only refined something as dangerous as an alchemy bomb once or twice under my mentor's guidance. It's hard for me to even be proficient in refining it, let alone improve its stability. Don't treat me as an alchemy genius like Connor Ferguson. I'm just an ordinary intermediate apprentice and an ordinary alchemist!"
Martina was speechless after hearing Stroman's words. After thinking for a while, Martina made up her mind and said, "Stroman, you can refine the Avar Bomb!"
"No problem! I'll give it to you in two days! "Stroman nodded and promised.
Although Stroman promised without hesitation, it was obvious that Martina still had some lingering fears after hearing Stroman's introduction of the Avar bomb's stability and concealment. She hesitated for a while and decided to add, "Although I need the Avar alchemy bomb urgently, but …"
Although Martina didn't finish her sentence and hesitated, her expression expressed the meaning of her words incisively and vividly. Stroman wasn't an idiot. He naturally understood what Martina wanted to say. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Martina. I'll refine it seriously and try my best to ensure the quality of the Avar Alchemy Bomb!"
"Very good. Thank you very much, Stroman!" Martina's expression relaxed after hearing that. She nodded slightly and said sincerely to Stroman.
"You're welcome, Martina. If you don't have anything else, I'll go back and prepare for refining." Stroman put the space ring that Martina had given him, which contained the materials for refining the alchemy bomb, into his pocket.
Martina didn't say anything and only nodded to indicate that Stroman could leave. Stroman also bowed slightly to Martina and walked out of the secret room, which was Martina's hiding place in Semedo Mansion.
A minute later, Martina, who was alone in the secret room of Semedo's mansion, saw that Stroman had already walked far away and disappeared from the range of her mental power. A hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes. If it weren't for the fact that the Duke's stronghold in Loen, the James Trading Company, had been discovered by Old Victor and uprooted, would Martina have been reduced to such a state where she needed Stroman to refine an alchemy bomb for her to defend herself?
Stroman was an employee of the James Trading Company that was uprooted by Old Victor. He was also the only surviving member of the Secret Society's royal faction. Luckily, Stroman was an alchemist, so his identity in the James Trading Company was very well hidden. Not many people knew about his existence. Otherwise, with Old Victor's terrifying methods, Stroman wouldn't have been able to survive.
Although Martina was lucky that Old Victor didn't find any evidence of the destruction of the James Trading Company, the only helper she had left was Stroman, an intermediate wizard apprentice who wasn't good at fighting. Now, when Martina needed help the most, her reinforcements could only come from the faraway Imperial Capital, Bernabeu, by train.
At this moment, compared to the conflict between Connor and Old Victor, Martina was more concerned about her own life. She didn't know if Old Victor would choose to attack Connor or continue to pursue her after this advanced wizard apprentice who used blood witchcraft failed to kill her.
Although she didn't know what choice Old Victor would make, it was obvious that Martina had to prepare for the worst to guard against Old Victor's possible surprise attack. As Old Victor's former assistant, Martina knew how powerful Old Victor's intelligence network was in Loen. She never expected that her hiding place could be hidden from Old Victor forever. However, Martina hoped that this place could be hidden until her reinforcements arrived in Loen seven days later.
Of course, it wasn't that there wasn't any good news for Martina. A few days ago, she had the foresight to ask Old Victor for reinforcements through Stroman's channel. Therefore, she only needed to wait for one more week and Old Victor's two advanced wizard apprentices would arrive in Loen. By then, Martina's safety would be guaranteed and she wouldn't need to fear Old Victor as much as she did now.

"Martina, she's hiding around here. Connor, are you sure? "In Mr. Demiral's café at No. 17 Lewandowski Avenue in the west district of Loen. In a corner of the café by the window, Martina secretly glanced at the building outside the glass window. She then transmitted her voice to Connor who was sitting opposite her with some doubts.
At this moment, Martina was disguised as a blonde girl while Connor had changed into the image of a black-haired young man. The two of them once again acted as a couple.
Since Connor confirmed the plan to sit on top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight three days ago, Connor and Marguerite began to search for Martina's hiding place in Loen based on the spiritual coordinates that Connor left on Martina. Today, Connor finally locked onto Martina's location on Lewandowski Avenue in the west district of Loen.
In the face of Martina's inquiry, a hint of hesitation flashed across Connor's eyes. Although the feedback from his spiritual mark on Martina was that Martina was nearby, his rationality told Connor that if Martina's hiding place was nearby, it would be too crazy!
One must know that Old Victor was at No. 67 Oyarr Flour Factory on Naboli Avenue in the west district of Loen. It was only three streets away from Lewandowski Avenue where he and Marguerite were now. The straight-line distance was no more than five kilometers.
There were only two possibilities for such a situation to occur. The first possibility was that when Marguerite and Martina were fighting that day, the spiritual mark that Connor secretly left on Martina was discovered by Martina. Furthermore, Martina had the means to make use of Connor's spiritual mark to deliberately lead Connor to the vicinity of Lewandowski Avenue. If this was the case, then it was obvious that this was a trap, a trap that Martina had specially set up for Connor!
