If Marguerite was still in this secret room at this moment and saw the glass ball that Zanna Moretti dug out from his mouth, she would definitely recognize it with great vexation. This crystal ball was the rumored Oxus Glass Ball, created by Alchemist Oxus. It only had one use — to disguise the loss of life waves — and nothing else. Clearly, Zanna Moretti was very cunning just now and used this Oxus Crystal Ball to fool Marguerite.
Zanna Moretti looked at Kevin Sousa, who was still unconscious and covered in blood. Seeing that they were both members of the Church of the Storm, she hesitated for a moment before taking out a light green pill from her pocket and putting it into Kevin Sousa's mouth. It looked like Zanna Moretti's pill was very effective. The pill had only been in his stomach for a few seconds, and although Kevin Sousa had yet to wake up from his coma, his breathing had stabilized.
Seeing that Kevin Sousa's vital signs had stabilized, Zanna Moretti was relieved. She ignored him and walked towards the crystal vase placed in the corner of the secret room. Due to Marguerite's departure, the air wall that was blocking Kevin Sousa from rushing towards the crystal vase had already disappeared. Zanna Moretti walked over with ease and picked up the crystal vase. She then took a deep breath and flung the crystal vase in her hand onto the floor.
"Scrape!"
With a crisp sound, the crystal vase that was smashed to the ground instantly shattered into pieces. As the crystal vase shattered, the mechanism of Kevin Hotel was triggered. Colorful fireworks were ignited and instantly shot into the sky!
Marguerite, who had already walked a few hundred meters away from Kevin Hotel, also sensed something the moment the fireworks rose up. She turned around and looked in the direction of Kevin Hotel.
Looking at the dazzling fireworks blooming above Kevin Hotel, Margaret's heart skipped a beat. Then, she couldn't help but curse.
After cursing out loud, Marguerite still didn't know why the mechanism of Kevin Hotel was triggered even though she had clearly knocked out everyone in Kevin Hotel, including the guests. However, Marguerite no longer had the time to consider this. She immediately turned around and ran towards the forest in the suburbs.
In Marguerite's original escape plan, she would have six hours to run, but she only needed three hours to get on the train from Loen to any city. By the time Edward realized that the information had been stolen and her true identity, she would have already left Loen on the train and gone to an unfamiliar city. Edward would have no chance of finding her.
But now, the fireworks above Kevin Hotel had completely disrupted Marguerite's plan. As a former high-ranking member of Loen's Church of the Storm, Marguerite knew very well how close Kevin Hotel was to Michelia Cathedral. According to the Church's deployment, Michelia Cathedral was one of the most important churches in Loen. It was a permanent arbiter of an advanced Sorcerer-Apprentice and two intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentices. According to the rules, after a secret stronghold like Kevin Hotel sent out a distress signal, the surrounding churches had to provide support immediately. Otherwise, they would be severely punished by the Church!
Therefore, Marguerite felt that it wouldn't take more than ten minutes for the Church of the Storm's pursuers to appear behind her. And with her current injured state, although it wasn't that she didn't have the strength to fight against the pursuers, it was obvious that she wasn't suitable to fight with others. Therefore, Marguerite's current priority was to run as far as possible and avoid the pursuers behind her.
Since the original plan to leave Loen's train station had failed because of the fireworks above Kevin Hotel, Marguerite could only use her backup escape plan.
Before coming to Kevin Hotel, Marguerite had studied the map around Kevin Hotel. If Marguerite remembered correctly, after passing through the forest in front of her and crossing a small hill, a small town called Hames would appear in front of her. Although there was no train station in that small town, the railway to Massasa City in the central part of the Kaman Empire passed through that small town. Although Marguerite was injured now, it wasn't difficult for her to climb onto the train.
Although Marguerite tried her best to run faster, unfortunately, her injuries couldn't help but affect her speed. Half an hour later, Marguerite, who was enduring the pain from her injuries in the forest, couldn't help but stop because of the unbearable pain. She took out a healing medicine from her interspatial ring, intending to recover.
However, just as Marguerite drank the medicine and was about to meditate to neutralize the effects of the medicine, Marguerite's eyes suddenly narrowed as she sensed a cold light in front of her. Without any time to think, she immediately dodged. As soon as she dodged, an icicle that was half a meter long and shimmering with a cold light came directly at her location.
Marguerite, who had just dodged the rapidly approaching icicle, knew that the pursuers had caught up to her. She sighed in her heart. Marguerite, who didn't want to fight with the pursuers, wanted to continue to use the body-lightening spell to continue running. However, before she could do anything, she saw a skinny old man in a white robe appear not far in front of her.
Margaret's heart sank at the sight of this skinny old man. The Church's pursuers had come much faster than she had imagined. What surprised her even more was that this old dog, Kohler, was the one who had come. Decades ago, when he had broken through to become an advanced Apprentice Wizard, this old dog had received some favors from Edward. All these years, he had been following Edward's lead blindly. Whether right or wrong, he had always been very faithful in carrying out all of Edward's orders.
Although Kohler's character was despicable, Marguerite, who had worked with him before, knew his strength very well. Kohler had been an advanced Apprentice Sorcerer for many years and had tried to break through to become an official Wizard several times. Although he had long lost the hope of breaking through to become a Rank 1 Wizard, his many years of consolidation in the realm of advanced Apprentice Sorcerer had given him a very strong strength in this realm.
It seemed that he understood the importance of the information from Nightingale in his hands and wanted to take back this important information about the Valencia Chamber of Commerce!
