After asking the residents of the town, Connor found out the location of the ancient castle of Fabinho, Rebecca's father.
Crossing the streets of the town, Connor walked up a hill near the town. Looking at the dilapidated ancient castle with its outer walls covered in green plants, Connor recalled some information about this ancient castle.
This ancient castle in the town of Dhaka did not originally belong to the great merchant Fabinho. Instead, it belonged to a baron in the town of Dhaka. The ancient castle was the ancestral home of the baron's ancestors. However, the baron mortgaged the ancient castle to Fabinho's bank in exchange for a loan in order to maintain his extravagant lifestyle.
The noble who got the loan was naturally very happy and continued his extravagant lifestyle. However, the loan had to be paid back eventually. When the loan was due, the baron squandered all his money. Unable to pay back the loan, the baron could only leave dejectedly and hand over the ancient castle that he and his ancestors had lived in all their lives to the great merchant Fabinho.
Logically speaking, the ancient castle should not be in such a dilapidated state now that it had fallen into the hands of the rich Mr. Fabinho. Unfortunately, Mr. Fabinho had too many houses like the ancient castle that were mortgaged. He did not care about the ancient castle in the town of Dhaka at all. The annual renovation cost of the ancient castle was also a large sum of money. Therefore, in order to save money, Fabinho only left an old servant in the ancient castle to look after the ancient castle. The rest of the people were left to fend for themselves.
Quietly approaching the ancient castle, Connor hid in a forest. He took out a telescope from his pocket and carefully observed everything in the ancient castle.
Due to the years of disrepair, the outer walls of the ancient castle had a lot of damage. It was no longer as unapproachable as it used to be. With the help of the telescope, Zhang Tongming observed that there was a well in the ancient castle. Other than that, there was no other water source in the ancient castle.
Seeing all this, Connor, who was hiding in the forest, had a strange smile on his chiseled face. After the field investigation, he was now more and more confident in his plan!
With his current skills, he could use the damage on the outer walls of the ancient castle to sneak into the ancient castle. The well in the castle was Connor's trump card. The knockout powder he got from Vallejo was very powerful. It only took three to four grams to put a lion to sleep. However, the only drawback of this knockout powder was that it would not take effect immediately after ingesting it. It would take effect after an hour.
When Rebecca came to the ancient castle the next day, Zhang Tongming only needed to sneak into the castle and put the knockout powder in the well. Then, it would be a success. Connor did not believe that Rebecca could go a day without drinking water. Maybe if he was lucky enough, he wouldn't even need to use the Kurun knife and revolver that he spent a lot of money on. He could capture Rebecca alive without shedding a drop of blood!
After taking a few deep breaths to calm his excitement, Connor slowly retreated into the depths of the forest. Although there was a hotel in Dhaka, he had already decided to sleep in the wilderness tonight. The police of the Kahman Empire were not useless. He was here to kill, so it was best to reduce his traces as much as possible.
At six o 'clock the next morning, Connor, who was sleeping in the forest, opened his eyes on time. There were only four trains a day from Loen City to Dhaka. They were at seven in the morning, a quarter past nine in the morning, a quarter past three in the afternoon, and a quarter past six in the evening! The information that Valverde gave him only recorded that Rebecca had bought a train ticket from Loen to Dhaka, but it did not specify which train she had bought. Therefore, Connor needed to wait from the earliest train.
Time ticked by, and soon, it was seven o 'clock. Connor had already hidden himself in a hidden spot with a good view. He had already taken out his monocular to observe.
It only took an adult twenty minutes to travel from the train station in Dhaka to the ancient castle. In other words, Rebecca, who was Connor Ferguson's goddess, would become Connor's prey in twenty minutes at the earliest!
At seven eighteen in the morning, two minutes earlier than Connor had expected, a purple figure appeared in Connor's monocular while he was observing the only path between Dhaka and the ancient castle. It was a woman in a purple robe with a black veil over her face.
Although her body was covered by a large robe and her face was covered by a veil, Connor's intuition told him that the young woman who was walking towards the ancient castle was none other than Rebecca!
Connor put away his monocular and took a deep breath. Then, he hung the Sun Badge that Professor Reyes had given him on his chest. Rebecca was hanging out with the cultist, Psalm Worship Church, Vidal. She might know some sorcery, so he definitely couldn't let his guard down.
Seeing that Rebecca had walked into the ancient castle, Connor began to act on his own. He took out his Kurun knife, revolver, and knockout powder from his zither case. Then, he quickly snuck under the outer wall of the ancient castle. After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, Connor decisively jumped over the outer wall and entered the ancient castle.
At this moment, Connor wasn't in the mood to observe the magnificent decorations and the heavy sense of age in the ancient castle. According to his plan, he quietly came near the well and poured the knockout powder into the well. Watching the colorless and odorless knockout powder melting in the clear well water, Connor smiled silently with eyes full of madness.
After pouring the knockout powder, Connor didn't stay in the ancient castle any longer. He once again snuck out of the ancient castle and returned to his original hiding spot. Now that all the preparations were done, Connor had to wait. He had to wait for Rebecca to drink the well water mixed with the knockout powder and fall into his fatal trap.
Looking at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He took out his pocket watch and saw that it was eleven o 'clock. He estimated that more than three hours had passed since he had poured the knockout powder. Moreover, the weather was so hot that Rebecca should have drunk the well water. If he wasn't mistaken, the knockout powder should have taken effect and she should have fallen unconscious on the ground!
