After pondering for an entire night in the apartment, he finally came up with a plan that he thought would guarantee his safety. However, Connor was helpless because although he had a plan, there was a very real problem in front of him. He couldn't confirm whether Paredes was spying on him from outside the apartment. If Paredes was really spying on him from outside the apartment, Connor couldn't go to the Empire Department Store to find Leoni and ask her to contact Marguerite.
Therefore, before carrying out the plan, Connor had to confirm whether Paredes was spying on him. If he wasn't, everything would be fine. However, if he was spying on him, Connor had to dig him out. Otherwise, his plan wouldn't be able to be carried out at all.
Connor's eyes flickered a few times. He had an idea in his mind. He put on his black windbreaker again and took out his silver pendant from his Space Ring. He secretly clasped the silver pendant on his hand, then walked out of the apartment and hailed a carriage on Lander Street.
"Sir, where are you going?" The old carriage driver, who was about 40 or 50 years old, asked Connor very respectfully. The old carriage driver knew very well that people who could live in a place like Lander Street were undoubtedly rich and powerful in Loen. As long as he was respectful, he would definitely tip him a lot.
"Harland Cemetery!" Connor said to the old carriage driver without hesitation. He then reminded him, "Don't go to Harland Cemetery directly. Go around the East District a few times before you go there."
"Sir, our carriage association has a rule. If you take a long detour while carrying a passenger, you'll be fined …" the old carriage driver said with a bitter expression.
Connor didn't want to talk nonsense with the carriage driver. He took out his wallet expressionlessly and took out two one-shilling notes. He threw them into the carriage driver's arms and said flatly, "If you do this to my satisfaction, I'll give you two more shillings!"
Hearing Connor's words and seeing the two notes thrown by Connor, the old carriage driver didn't get angry at all. Instead, a surprised smile appeared on his face. He carefully put the two one-shilling notes into his arms and smiled flatteringly at Connor. He then stopped talking about the fine and promised to Connor solemnly, "Sir, please don't worry. I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"
Connor squinted his eyes and nodded. He then waved his hand and signaled the carriage driver to drive away. After receiving Connor's order, the carriage driver didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately whipped the horses. Under the spur of the whip, the four workhorses immediately galloped on the street.
Connor sat in the carriage. He squinted his eyes and looked like he was asleep, but in fact, his finger was gently tapping on the silver pendant in his hand. After becoming an advanced Apprentice Wizard, Connor discovered a new function of the silver pendant that could only increase his mental strength. That was to prevent mental strength detection. Although this function of the silver pendant was very complicated and tedious to use and had high requirements for the user, once Paredes' mental strength was successfully used by Connor, he would definitely be able to discover traces of Paredes as long as his mental strength was below Connor's.
Last night, Connor thought about it all night. The more he thought about Paredes' strength, the more he felt that something was amiss. He had a feeling that Paredes wasn't as strong as he thought!
According to Connor's request, the carriage driver circled around Loen East twice and immediately asked for instructions from Connor. With Connor's permission, he began to move towards Harland Cemetery.
Looking at the scenery outside the glass window, which had gradually changed from tall buildings to grasslands and forests, Connor knew that he had left the city and came to the suburbs. However, even here, the silver pendant in his hand still didn't detect any mental fluctuations.
This situation made Connor smile self-deprecatingly in his heart. It seemed that he was overthinking. Paredes didn't seem to continue monitoring him at all. His purpose of going to Harland Cemetery this time was to lure Paredes out. He didn't want to go to Harland Cemetery to do anything at all.
After hesitating for a while, Connor still didn't stop the carriage that would arrive at Harland Cemetery in ten minutes. Ten minutes wasn't a long time. Since he wanted to put on a show, he might as well go through with it.
Ten minutes later, the carriage arrived at Harland Cemetery. Connor took out two one-shilling notes from his wallet and threw them to the carriage driver. He then said calmly, "Wait for me here for a while. I'll be back to the city in a while!"
"Understood! Sir! " The old carriage driver, who had earned four shillings from Connor in a simple trip, was pleasantly surprised when he heard that Connor was going back to the city. Under normal circumstances, he could only earn about one shilling after running around Loen City for a day. Now that he had such a good job like Connor, he could earn four shillings in one trip. Two trips to and fro would earn him eight shillings. Of course, he wouldn't let go of this opportunity!
Connor got out of the carriage and tightened his black robe. He looked around the surroundings and walked into the cemetery. To his surprise, after just a few steps, Connor was surprised to find that the silver pendant in his hand was emitting a faint sense of warmth.
Connor's heart skipped a beat when he felt the warmth from the silver pendant. This meant that the silver pendant had detected that there was mental strength spying on him secretly. After confirming this situation, Connor immediately became alert. However, he still looked calm as if he hadn't noticed anything.
"That's right! That's the feeling!
Connor thought to himself. At the same time, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. The silver pendant had detected the mental strength spying on him, but Connor didn't discover anything. How similar was this to the day when he was spied on by Paredes in the Tottenham Hotel?
Connor entered the cemetery quietly and found a tombstone. He stood in front of the tombstone and pretended to mourn. On the surface, he seemed to be mourning, but in reality, Connor was very careful. He was using the silver pendant to sense where the mental strength spying on him came from. For some reason, Connor's mental strength couldn't detect where the mental strength spying on him came from.
