Even though he had memorized Paredes' ordinary figure and face, which could guarantee that Connor would be able to recognize him the moment he saw him, he didn't pay too much attention to it. Since this Mr. Paredes had the ability to disguise himself under Connor's watch, and was able to hide from Connor's spiritual sense at such a close distance while secretly monitoring him, it was obvious that it wasn't particularly difficult for him to find a mask to wear on his face.
"What the hell! Where did this guy come from? " Connor thought gloomily. As a spirit type Magus, his spiritual force and spiritual sense were far superior to other Magi of the same rank. However, the ability displayed by this Mr. Paredes seemed to be slightly above his own.
Although Connor still wasn't sure of the cultivation level of this guy who called himself "Paredes", but because of the super strong ability this Mr. Paredes had displayed, Connor decided for the time being that this Mr. Paredes was an advanced Sorcerer's Apprentice like himself. The reason why he was so sure that this Mr. Paredes was an advanced Sorcerer's Apprentice and not an official Sorcerer was because of the letter Paredes had asked the waiter to give him.
If Paredes was an official Magus, Connor didn't think that an official Magus would use honorifics like "respectful" to an advanced Apprentice Magus in the strict hierarchy of the Magus World. In fact, even Magi of the same rank rarely used honorifics like "respectful". This type of honorifics was usually used by Magi of a lower rank to address those of a higher rank.
The use of honorifics and the ability displayed by Paredes formed a strong contrast, causing Connor to have a strong curiosity about this Paredes.
Walking to the door of his apartment, Connor looked deeply at the mailbox erected in front of the door. He knew that there must be something waiting for him there.
Opening the mailbox, Connor took out the seven letters inside. He then fished out the apartment key, opened the door, and walked in.
As soon as he entered the apartment, he saw that the furnishings in front of him were no different from when he was a month ago. Immediately, an imperceptible light appeared in Connor's eyes. The apartment didn't seem to have changed at all, but it made Connor feel a trace of strangeness. Although this strangeness was very slight, Connor felt it very clearly. It felt as if someone had entered the room, stayed for a short while, and then left.
Connor used his power of the will to carefully check the entire apartment. After confirming that there was no one else in the room, Connor reached out and touched the only remaining alchemy mechanism he had set up in the apartment. He took out a crystal ball hidden in the wall of the apartment.
Immersing his power of the will into the crystal ball, Connor checked the video of the apartment during the month that he wasn't in. He found the source of his uneasiness. On a late night half a month ago, a stooped figure in a grey robe who looked very old appeared in his apartment. This person stayed in the apartment for about five minutes. After confirming that Connor wasn't home, he immediately left. The last scene recorded in the crystal ball before he left Connor's apartment allowed Connor to confirm the identity of this person.
The content of the video was the smile of this old man in a grey robe hidden in the crystal ball wall. Obviously, he had already discovered the existence of the crystal ball in the wall. Half of the wrinkled face of the man under the grey robe also allowed Connor to immediately recognize this uninvited guest. It was the butler of his mentor, Reyes, and the person he was determined to kill — Old Victor!
Looking at the slightly mysterious smile of Old Victor in the video recorded in the crystal ball, Connor's heart couldn't help but sink. After a long time, he opened all the seven letters in his mailbox. Immediately, he found the "special letter". Unlike the other six letters, this special letter only had an address and a time. There was nothing else in it.
"On the 12th, Senxi Villa Block 17 in the suburbs of Loen …" Reading the contents of the letter softly, Connor slowly sneered. Although the letter didn't state the purpose of the letter, together with the smile of Old Victor in the crystal ball in his villa, Connor could immediately tell that this special letter was clearly from Old Victor, who couldn't find him at his home, so he wanted to meet him.
If that's the case, this "Mr. Paredes" who paid for my meal and reminded me of the letter in my mailbox seems to be a member of the secret society too? Connor thought to himself. Today is the 9th, and the 12th is three days later. Senxi Villa Block is located in the suburbs of Loen East. It was built by Loen's famous real estate development company, Raiola Real Estate Construction Company. It's considered a high-end villa block in the suburbs of Loen, and it's one of the vacation destinations for many wealthy merchants and nobles in Loen East. Since Old Victor wants to meet me there, it seems that there should be a secret society's stronghold there!
Old Victor sent an invitation to Connor. "To go or not to go" was a dilemma that Connor had to face. He had to make a decision on this issue within 3 days. Furthermore, this decision was very likely to determine Connor's life and safety! "Old Victor sent an invitation to Connor.
If he chose to "go", according to the "Spiritual Spring Potion", "Kasyapa Demon Body Technique", and "Radiation Source in the Book" that Old Victor had given Connor during this period of time, there was a high possibility that Connor would be arrested if he chose to go.
If he chose not to go, it would obviously be an open break with the secret society. Then, it was very likely that Connor would be directly arrested by Old Victor the next time.
The sneer on Connor's lips gradually turned into a self-deprecating smile. Then, with a thought, a small flame appeared on his fingertip, burning the special letter to ashes.
In fact, there were no two choices. As long as Connor still wanted to stay in Loen, he could only follow Old Victor's request to go to Senxi Villa Block 17 on the 12th. Even though Senxi Villa was very likely to be a tiger's den to Connor. Otherwise, in Loen, where even Bishop Edward of the Church of the Storm was a member of the secret society, even if Connor stayed in his apartment, it would be no different from staying in Senxi Villa Block 17. The entire Loen City would be a huge trap targeted at Connor!
Connor pretended to be relaxed and shrugged his shoulders. He was very glad that he had read the letter at this time. It was the 9th, and the agreed date was the 12th. He had three days to prepare. Three days wasn't a long time, but it wasn't short either. It was enough for Connor to make some preparations. This could be considered a blessing in disguise!
