Alchemy bombs were a destructive and highly lethal item. Moreover, there was a high possibility of accidentally killing civilians when it was used. It was extremely dangerous to the stability of the S Society. Therefore, once there was an incident related to alchemy bombs, not only would the Church of the Storm investigate, even the empire's secret department, which had always turned a blind eye to Dark Sorcerers, would also do their best to find the Sorcerer who used alchemy bombs and the alchemist who refined them. This was also why Stroman was so hesitant when he saw that the alchemy materials in the space ring were for refining alchemy bombs. He knew the fundamental reason why he tried to make Martina give up on this decision.
Although the alchemy bombs were in her hands and would explode with just a thought, Martina decided that as long as her life wasn't threatened, she would never use the alchemy bombs. Thinking of this, Martina found a jade box and put the five Avar alchemy bombs into it. She then carefully put it back into her space ring.
After doing this, Martina was about to cultivate for a while. However, she seemed to have discovered something unusual. She raised her eyebrows and pointed at the wall. The bronze mirror hidden in the wall immediately popped out. The image in the bronze mirror was the figure of Stroman who was rhythmically knocking on the door according to the secret signal.
Martina looked at the bronze mirror with a touch of doubt in her beautiful eyes. Stroman had clearly come yesterday and passed the alchemy bombs to her. Didn't she tell him not to come here these few days to avoid being noticed and exposing his identity? Why did he come again in less than a day?
Although Martina was a little unhappy with Stroman's visit, she still pointed at the bronze mirror and let Stroman walk in while the bronze mirror returned to the wall.
Because she was by the side of the cunning Old Victor, Martina was also very careful with her own protection. She never contacted the Duke directly and always let the James Trading Company handle it. However, the James Trading Company was destroyed in the hands of Old Victor, and only Stroman was left. Therefore, Martina had no choice but to hand over the communication channel with the Duke to Stroman.
Stroman was not a fool. Yesterday, Martina told him not to come for the next few days and to pay attention to his concealment. However, he came today. What did this mean? He said that Roman must have something important to tell Martina. That was why he disobeyed Martina's orders and came to Semedo's mansion!
Stroman, who was knocking on the door, suddenly felt the bronze door in front of him lighten. His refined and fair face instantly relaxed. He vigilantly swept his gaze behind him. When he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in. When he received the news through the communication channel, he didn't dare to waste any time. He immediately disobeyed Martina's orders and came to Semedo Mansion to look for Martina.
Just when Stroman thought that he was hiding his tracks, he would never have thought that in a dense pine forest five hundred meters behind him, a figure was silently observing all of his movements.
"Stroman, what happened?" In the secret room, Martina frowned slightly as she looked at Stroman who was in a hurry. She then said to Stroman:
Stroman didn't say anything in response to Martina's question. In fact, he didn't have much to say. He simply took out a piece of paper filled with words from his space ring and handed it to Martina.
Martina took the paper from Stroman and glanced at the densely packed words on it. Her expression instantly froze as she stared at the paper.
"Do I need to leave?" Stroman hesitated for a moment and asked when he saw Martina's gaze on the paper. After receiving the paper, he had already seen the contents of the paper. It was nothing more than some poems and prose.
Stroman had been a member of the Secret Society for several decades. He knew the rules of the Secret Society. He knew very well that the poems and prose on the notes had no value. The real message was hidden on the mountain of notes underneath the poems and prose.
Hearing Stroman's question, Martina immediately recovered from her gaze. After pondering for a moment, she shook her head at Stroman and said, "No need, you can just stand here!"
After saying that, Martina formed a seal with her hand and hit the paper in her hand. The paper filled with her words immediately bloomed with a light blue light. Under the reflection of the blue light on the paper, a faint wry smile appeared on Martina's cold and elegant face.
The paper in her hand that was emitting a blue light was called Carrick Paper. It was the proud work of the Alchemist Master Carrick of the King's Faction. This paper looked no different from ordinary paper on the surface. Words could be written on it with an ordinary fountain pen. However, when the Carrick Paper was filled with words with a fountain pen, a special spell would be used to hide the words written by the fountain pen. If one didn't use a special spell to check, no one would discover the hidden content on the Carrick Paper. Due to its strong concealment ability, the King's Faction used the Carrick Paper to transmit secret and important messages.
As a matter of fact, the reason why Martina saw Carrick's paper and stared at the worthless poems and prose on it was not because it was her first time seeing Carrick's paper. Martina had used Carrick's paper for numerous times. The real reason why Martina did this was that she had been in contact with Connor Ferguson for a long time and had used this guy's secret letter method to transmit contents many times. When she saw the Carrick Paper full of content, Martina subconsciously tried to find the pattern of the words on it.
Looking at the blue light on the Carrick Paper that had been shining for a minute without any signs of extinguishing, Martina shook her head helplessly. The Carrick Paper was extremely secretive when it came to information. If one didn't know the spell to decipher the information, even if one was a level-2 official wizard, it was impossible to decipher the Carrick Paper. Unfortunately, the decipher of the Carrick Paper was too slow. It required a full three minutes to decipher it.
Now that she saw the shortcomings of the Carrick Paper, Martina couldn't help but think of the benefits of Connor's secret method of communication.
