After the Counts Of Antalya left, Mr. Pei Di, who had calmed down, remembered that he had accepted Tatarin's report request that had been repeated several times.
It was not until then that Mr. Pei Di realized that a Rogue had sneaked into the Mage School while he was not there yesterday.
Feng Chou did not expect that the Mage Tower Spirit had actually discovered the sneaking Rogue, but it did not have the authority to deal with it. This was due to his lack of understanding of the Mage Tower.
In Feng Chou's view, if the Mage Tower discovered the sneaking Rogue, there was no reason to ignore it. Since it ignored it, it meant that it did not discover it. He did not know that the authority of the Mage Tatarin in this world was actually not as good as that of his Qiankun Pagoda. Even if it was a passive defense, it had to follow the rules set by the Mage. It was rigid and there was no room for flexibility.
Without the authorization of the Mage Tower's owner, as long as the intruder had no intention of invading the Mage Tower itself, the Mage Tower had no right to launch counterattack measures.
The Mage Tatarin knew that a Rogue had sneaked in because it had the authority to monitor all the movements in the Mage School at all times. It also knew that a Rogue had sneaked into a laboratory, but the Mage Tower Spirit did not know what the Rogue had done in the laboratory. Because without the authorization of the Mage Tower's owner, it could not invade the laboratory that was in use, the residence of the Intermediate Mage … and so on.
After learning the location of the Rogue from Tatarin, Pei Di immediately summoned an apprentice who served him and asked him to investigate who rented the laboratory.
The investigation soon came to a conclusion. The person who rented the laboratory at that time was an apprentice named Leo.
Pei Di knew about Leo. When Darnel arranged for Feng Chou to enter the Mage School, he specifically negotiated with Pei Di about Leo, so Pei Di knew that this Leo was related to a high-quality underground trade route.
In fact, most of the El Chamber of Commerce was owned by Antalya's family. Darnel was just a manager who owned a small amount of shares.
Back then, in order to win over Pei Di, the Counts Of Antalya gave Pei Di 5% of the shares of the El Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, if this trade route was opened, Pei Di would also be able to obtain a portion of the benefits.
But that was not the key. The key was that once this trade route was opened, Pei Di would be able to obtain a large amount of precious alchemy materials from the Dark Zone at a low price and sell the products of his alchemy factories to the Dark Zone at a high price.
It was impossible for the El Chamber of Commerce to monopolize such a high-quality underground trade route. In the end, it would be shared by many parties. At most, it would be managed by the El Chamber of Commerce and set up checkpoints to collect taxes.
Therefore, Pei Di was still quite concerned about Leo's safety.
After knowing that the place where the Rogues invaded was the laboratory rented by Leo, Pei Di immediately authorized the Mage Tower to explore and observe the interior of the laboratory. Although they did not find any trace of Leo, fortunately, they did not see any corpse either.
He immediately sent someone to inform Darnel.
After Darnel received the news, he immediately went to the Mage School …
In the picture that Qiankun Pagoda sent to Feng Chou, Darnel walked into the laboratory accompanied by a young beginner Mage. The Rogues who followed Darnel in, under Darnel's signal, searched around the laboratory …
Seeing this scene, Feng Chou used the excuse of going to the bathroom and gave the money he won to a guard who was watching the fun on the side. He asked the guard to play a few rounds for him, then turned and left the dormitory.
Feng Chou took advantage of the moment when he walked out of the dormitory and took out an unattractive cloak from Qiankun Pagoda and put it on his shoulders.
This cloak wasn't an ordinary cloak. It was actually a magic item called the "Cloak of Detection Evasion".
Detection Evasion: The recipient or the subject will not be detected by prophecy spells such as Sharp Ear, Eagle Eye, Locator Items, Detect Thoughts, and all detection spells of level three and below.
For spells of level three and above, Detection Evasion also has a certain probability of evasion. The probability of evasion is related to the casting level of the caster.
Putting on this cloak, Feng Chou watched the movements of Darnel and his party through the monitoring equipment left in the Mage School while wandering in the courtyard.
Sure enough, after Darnel came out of the laboratory, he went straight to the residence of Intermediate Mage Brand.
Not long after Darnel entered Intermediate Mage Brand's residence, the Detection Evasion Cloak sent a message to Feng Chou telling him that someone was using the level four spell "Bio-Location" on him. The cloak successfully evaded the detection spell.
However, the other party did not give up. Detection Evasion could only evade spells of level three and below with a 100% probability. For spells of level three and above, there was only a certain probability of evading. The higher the level of the detection spell, the higher the casting level of the caster, and the lower the probability of evading the cloak.
Feng Chou's Detection Evasion Cloak was made by another Intermediate Mage from the Antalya Mage School. Feng Chou bought it for a high price of more than four thousand crowns. This Intermediate Mage's casting level was one level higher than Mage Brand's. "Bio-Location" was only a level four spell, so Feng Chou's Detection Evasion Cloak had a relatively high probability of evading Brand's Human Location spell. It wasn't until the ninth spell that the Detection Evasion Cloak sent a message that it had failed to evade the detection.
Feng Chou did not panic about being detected. In fact, the reason he wanted to sneak into the Bruce Chamber of Commerce was to let Darnel detect him. The reason he used the Detection Evasion Cloak was to make things more realistic.
After receiving the message that he was successfully detected, Feng Chou took off the Detection Evasion Cloak and returned to the dorm.
When he returned to the dorm, Feng Chou found that the person who played cards for him had lost most of the money he gave him.
Feng Chou obviously didn't care about one or two crowns, but Potter did. Potter had never been a generous person.
So, Feng Chou pulled up the person who played cards for him with an unhappy expression and sat down.
The few of them played a few more rounds, and Feng Chou continued to lose. Not only did he lose the one crown he won earlier, he also lost another.
Potter and the other guards were only in charge of patrolling the chamber of commerce. Their job was much safer than that of mercenaries, but their income was also much lower. They only received twenty to thirty crowns a month. Two to three crowns was not a small sum to them.
Feng Chou looked like he had lost a lot and urged them to continue, but the other three were unwilling to play. They used the excuse that they had to go to work soon and left the table.
Seeing Feng Chou's gloomy expression, the guard who helped him lose mocked, "Hey, Potter, you must've peed on your hand just now, right?"
Feng Chou cursed, "Get lost, you unlucky bastard. Do you think I'm like you, peeing on my hand every time?"
The few of them began their night shift while cursing.
