"What's this?" Sitting opposite Martina, Connor naturally wasn't as obedient as Martina. He caught the bracelet that Martina tossed over and asked coldly, "What's wrong with you?"
"I heard from Old Victor that you're an alchemist. Why don't you take a look for yourself?" In the carriage with only herself and Connor, Martina no longer had the gentleness and smile that she had at the entrance of Connor's apartment. She found a bracelet that was exactly the same as the one she gave Connor and wore it on her fair wrist. Then, she closed her eyes and said with a hint of mockery, "You're right.
Hearing Martina's words, Connor placed his gaze on the bracelet. At the same time, he slowly played with the bracelet in his palm.
After a while, Connor hesitated for a moment, but still wore the bracelet on his wrist. Following Connor's action, the carriage they were in also started moving.
Connor knitted his brows slightly as he looked at Martina who was resting with her eyes closed. However, he didn't ask any more questions about where they were going. If he wasn't mistaken, the carriage that he was riding on right now was actually a magic item even though it didn't look any different from an ordinary carriage on the outside.
Although Connor recognized that the carriage was a magic artifact, he still couldn't identify the specific use of this carriage. However, Connor discovered that the bracelets on his and Martina's wrists were a type of alchemy artifact that came with the carriage. The carriage and the bracelet together could only serve to confuse the mental strength of a Wizard, causing them to be unable to identify the direction and path of the carriage they were in!
This was also why Connor didn't ask Martina where they were going. If the Secret Society could use this method to make him and Martina go there, it was obvious that they didn't want to tell him the destination of this trip. Moreover, Martina was wearing the same bracelet as him. There was a high chance that the Secret Society didn't tell her where they were going.
Closing his eyes, Connor pretended to be like Martina, resting with his eyes closed. However, at this moment, his mental strength was secretly circulating, trying to sense the carriage's route. Although he knew that the Secret Society used this method to prevent him from knowing the carriage's route and location, this method must have its advantages. However, due to his fear of the Secret Society and the fact that his mental strength was far superior to Wizards of the same rank, Connor couldn't help but want to give it a try.
After persisting for about ten minutes, Connor secretly shook his head and stopped his actions. If he guessed correctly, the carriage he was in now used a material that could block mental strength. Apprentice Wizards below the rank of an official Wizard had no way of releasing their mental strength in such a carriage. Moreover, the bracelet on his hand wasn't simple. In the past ten minutes, it had discovered that Connor was using his mental strength, so it had been trying to interfere with Connor. If it weren't for the fact that Connor was a mental strength Wizard, he might not have been able to use his mental strength in the carriage!
Due to the interference of the carriage and the bracelet, Connor had stopped using his mental strength to sense the outside. However, this didn't mean that he was at his wit's end. Connor felt that if he took out the Silver Crown Pendant to increase his mental strength, his mental strength would be very close to that of an official Magus. In that case, his mental strength might be able to break through the restrictions of the carriage and the bracelet and sense the outside of the carriage. However, if that was the case, the commotion would be too great. Putting aside the fact that Martina was sitting right in front of him, the coachman outside would definitely notice it.
Thinking of the coachman driving the carriage outside, Connor's heart couldn't help but tighten. Although he didn't have any evidence, Connor faintly felt that this person, who was covered in a black robe, was somewhat similar to the Occult Knight Isa, who had lost his life at the hands of Langley.
"Skull Association? Southgate? " Once he thought of the Occult Knight, these two words appeared in Connor's mind. If he didn't remember wrongly, when he possessed Epstein's body, Langley wanted to lead the Occult Knight to betray the Skull Association and join the Secret Society! Could it be that the Secret Society's covert search for him was related to the Skull Association? Had the ambush in Castle Schalke been exposed?
Thinking of this, Connor's mood couldn't help but become even heavier. However, it seemed that he didn't have a better plan at this point. He could only take it one step at a time.
Although there was no way to know the route and location of the carriage, Connor could still sense the time the carriage had traveled. Just as Connor estimated that the carriage had traveled for about an hour and a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped moving forward.
"Give me the bracelet!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, Martina immediately opened her spectacles and said to Connor, "Don't worry.
Connor casually removed the bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Martina. Soon after, he walked out of the carriage. Standing outside the carriage, Connor surveyed his surroundings.
At this moment, he was surrounded by an extremely spectacular dense forest. Connor's mental strength could sense the existence of a boundary in the depths of the forest. If nothing unexpected happened, the destination of his trip was the location of that boundary. Feeling the sea breeze caressing his face, a trace of radiance flashed through Connor's eyes. However, this radiance only lasted for an instant before it returned to normal.
Martina also walked out of the carriage ten minutes later. She whispered a few words in a language that Connor didn't understand to the coachman, who was suspected to be a Occult Knight. The coachman nodded and soon after, he raised his whip and drove the carriage out of the forest.
"At least you have some eyesight!" After sweeping a glance at Connor, Martina abruptly said to Connor, "Don't worry.
Although Martina's words didn't make sense, Connor immediately understood her meaning. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said, "My alchemy is very complicated. Although I'm not very proficient in formations, mechanisms, and restrictions, I've learned a bit of them!"
Without saying anything else, Martina directly moved forward towards the boundary in the depths of the forest. Connor's speed wasn't slow either. He followed closely behind Martina by a step or so. Wherever Martina stepped, he would step as well. Where Martina didn't step, Connor absolutely wouldn't touch it.
Looking at Martina who was walking in front of him, a hint of disdain flashed across Connor's eyes. This woman was simply the epitome of a brainless Big Bear. She thought too simply of herself. She actually deliberately slowed down by ten minutes just to let him get impatient and take the lead. Then, she would use the mechanisms, restrictions, and magic circles along the way to trick him!
