After leaving the interrogation room, Baron stopped the attendants from following him and returned to the upper floor of the castle alone.
Baron Amborite returned to the study on the top floor of the castle, closed the door, and opened the secret room.
After entering the secret room, he used a magic ring in his hand to open an underground passage in the middle of the secret room.
The passage in the middle of the castle was cleverly designed and sealed by magic. There was a narrow spiral staircase in the middle of the passage, which led directly to a basement at the bottom of the castle. This basement was the magic laboratory that Leo had heard about.
Qiankun Pagoda's scanning function could penetrate solid matter, but the scanning range would be greatly reduced in solid matter. Therefore, Feng Chou had long known about the passage in the middle of the castle, but the basement below the passage was beyond Qiankun Pagoda's scanning range.
It was not difficult to guess that Baron went to the basement at this time, of course, not to do any magic experiments. There was most likely something like a tunnel that led to the outside of the castle.
Feng Chou immediately let the magic pet fly around the base of the castle's outer wall.
Although Qiankun Pagoda's scanning range was greatly reduced in solid matter, only one-fifth of its original range, it could still penetrate five or six meters into the ground. If there was a tunnel in the castle that led to the outside, it would be difficult to escape Qiankun Pagoda's scanning.
But the result of the scan surprised Feng Chou and there was no tunnel.
Feng Chou quickly reacted. In this world with magic, there was a better way to escape than a tunnel.
He hurriedly commanded the Green Owl to fly back to the roof of the castle and flew into the study through the window.
The door of the study was closed. Without Baron's call and permission, no one would come in.
After the Green Owl landed in front of the desk, Feng Chou immediately switched places with it.
Baron left in a hurry. Not only was the door of the secret room wide open, but the passage in the middle of the secret room was also wide open. The panicked Baron obviously did not care about this.
Feng Chou pulled out the two knives at his waist, activated the Invisible Ring, and rushed into the passage.
At the end of the passage was a basement that was more than ten meters underground.
This basement was indeed a magic laboratory, and a very good one at that. There were binding circles, protective circles, and other standard features of an intermediate magic laboratory.
The laboratory was an open hall with no passages around it. Qiankun Pagoda's scanning also told him that behind the walls of the laboratory was thick soil. There were no secret doors or passages.
Feng Chou took out a scroll of "Arcane Vision" from the scroll bag and cast the spell. After casting the spell, he saw an open safe in the corner of the laboratory, there was a faint magic light floating in front of it.
From the intensity and color of the spiritual light, the Universe Tower quickly determined that someone had activated the "Teleportation Spell" there.
Feng Chou walked to the safe. It was a safe made of black steel, and the door was locked with a magic lock. At this time, the door was wide open. Some magic gems and several boxes used to hold rings, bracelets, and other accessories were scattered in the cabinet and on the ground in front of the cabinet. There was also a set of Baron's clothes on the ground next to it.
Looking at everything in front of him, Feng Chou could not help but kick the safe hard.
There was no need to mention how angry he was in his heart. He had schemed and calculated everything, but at the last moment, he had let the cooked duck fly away.
But there was no point in being angry. Feng Chou suppressed his anger and ransacked the magic laboratory. He also moved all the magic books and materials in the secret room upstairs into Qiankun Pagoda.
In the process of ransacking, Feng Chou gradually calmed down and began to analyze where Baron Amborite could go.
With Baron Amborite's crime, he would definitely not dare to stay in Antalya County. The Counts Of Antalya, Pei Di, and the Church of the God of Nobles and Knights would not let him go. Under the power of magic, if he stayed in Antalya, he would soon be dug out.
Therefore, he would definitely leave Antalya as soon as possible.
Judging from this line of thought, and considering the basic teleportation distance of 200 kilometers, there were only two possible destinations for the baron to teleport to. One was the city of Antalya, and the other was the town of Fergesack.
At this time, the last place Baron would want to go was Antalya. He would most likely choose Fergesack as his destination!
After thinking this through, Feng Chou did not hesitate to switch places with the Green Owl.
A Green Owl suddenly flew out of Baron's study and shot into the sky like an arrow, flying in the direction of Fergesack Town.
… …
After arriving at Fergesack, the Green Owl circled around the town's pier for a while before going down with the flow and sweeping past merchant ships at its fastest speed …
After passing more than ten merchant ships in a row, the Green Owl suddenly slowed down. After circling around a merchant ship, it soared into the sky and slowly soared a hundred meters above the merchant ship's head.
After receiving the report that Qiankun Pagoda had found Baron Amborite, Feng Chou could not help but wave his fist in excitement.
Looking at the image of Baron Amborite projected by Qiankun Pagoda's holographic projection, Feng Chou could not help but click his tongue. To think that Qiankun Pagoda could actually recognize him.
At this time, Baron Amborite had turned into a dispirited middle-aged mercenary wearing worn-out medium armor. He looked nothing like the original Baron Amborite.
The reason why the Universe Tower was able to recognize him was because of the priceless magic equipment hidden under the tattered armor of this dispirited mercenary. It was too dazzling.
The Universal Tower's scan was actually unable to detect magical aura or magical waves. However, this kind of scan could analyze the insides of the equipment and observe the magical patterns formed by different materials within the magical equipment. Through alchemy knowledge, it could determine the alchemy level represented by these magical circuits.
Who would have thought that the worn-out medium armor worn by this dispirited and dirty middle-aged mercenary was a + 5 armor worth more than 40,000 crowns?
Who would have thought that the two-handed sword at his waist was a + 5 magical weapon worth more than 20,000 crowns?
Who would have thought that the worn-out cloak fluttering behind him was a + 5 magical equipment with a level-5 spell, "Teleportation"?
Who would have thought that there were more than a dozen mid-level magical items hidden under his worn-out clothes?
Who would have thought that there were dozens of magical gemstones worth hundreds of thousands of crowns hidden in the interlayer of his worn-out backpack?
Not to mention the documents of property rights that were placed together with the elemental gemstones, including a knight's manor in the suburbs of Adonis City, a villa in the city center of Adonis City, and two commercial buildings in the bustling area.
After discovering these, Qiankun Pagoda immediately activated a "Secret Eye" spell scroll and blessed the Green Owl with the spell. Through the Secret Eye, he identified the "Transfiguration" spell that shrouded the middle-aged mercenary …
With these conditions combined, it would be strange if this person was not Baron Amborite.
