Detection Countermeasures in Practice: The Banquet

Within the Adventurer's Guild.

President Bert Jin took out a delicate wooden box and opened it. Four metal nameplates with a full metallic texture and a light cyan luster were quietly placed on the red cushions.

"Fine Steel" nameplate!

It is completely made of Fine Steel, a metal material like Advanced Tier, which has an affinity for magic. Its hardness exceeds Orichalcum and Mithril. The value of the material itself is very expensive.

"I hope Team Leader Tang can leave the "Free Will" nameplate of "Gold Rank" in our Adventurer's Guild."

President Bert Jin held up a wooden box with both hands, his face full of solemnity and excitement, and bowed deeply to Tang Zheng. Every move he made seemed very ceremonial.

Facing the eager gazes of countless adventurers around him.

"I understand."

Tang Zheng looked at President Bert Jin, who was over 50 years old and had some gray hair on his temples, and sighed softly.

Place the two Gold Rank nameplates on the tray that the waitress Adventurer's Guild has been holding.

"It's strange, Captain, you don't usually wear gloves." Enri stood on one side and looked at Tang Zheng's hands wearing light-colored gloves with some confusion.

"It is our Holy Kingdom Adventurer's Guild's honor to retain the nameplate "Free Will"."

Seeing this scene, President Bert Jin became even more excited and had a bright smile on his face.

According to the regulations of the Adventurer's Guild, if the adventurer changes the nameplate after upgrading the level, it does not necessarily need to be returned to the Adventurer's Guild.

These nameplates also have a certain commemorative significance for adventurers.

"Is that the "Fine Steel" nameplate? This is the first time I've seen it."

"I heard that that small piece of material is worth more than 500 gold coins. These four Fine Steel nameplates are worth... hiss, 2000 gold coins."

"Hmph! How can such a thing be measured in money?"

"Unfortunately, "Free Will" is not the adventurer of our Holy Kingdom, but the adventurer team of the Kingdom."

"I heard that they already have a Adamantite Adventurer team called "Vermilion Drop"."

"...!"

"That's awesome, so Kingdom already has two Adamantite Rank teams."

Intense discussions and passionate emotions filled Adventurer's Guild, and the adventurers were excited that they could witness this scene.

Being able to witness the birth of the Adamantite Rank adventurer team with your own eyes is a blessing for all adventurers!

There are also many adventurer teams who dream that they can also become Adamantite Rank adventurers and attract as much attention as "Free Will" in front of them.

Tang Zheng picked up the red cushion of the wooden box and found the four Fine Steel nameplates, which were slightly heavier in texture and had the name of the team "Free Will" engraved on the front.

Even if you don't recognize the word, it doesn't prevent you from guessing it.

"Four?"

"I thought it would be two."

Tang Zheng muttered in his heart.

The information he registered at the Adventurer's Guild actually only has two people, uh, to be precise, one person and one dog.

Don't look at Enri and Verdant Leaf Witch. In the eyes of outsiders, they are members of "Free Will".

In fact, according to formal procedures, there are only two real registered members of "Free Will", one is Tang Zheng and the other is Barghest.

"That's fine."

Tang Zheng secretly thought in his heart and said to President Bert Jin:

"There is a banquet in Guest House. It sounds like a celebration banquet. President Bert Jin should also be invited."

"Indeed, to be honest, I am not interested in this kind of banquet." President Bert Jin reluctantly moved his eyes away from the Gold Rank nameplate, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed a lot.

"Since Team Leader Tang and Miss Enri also plan to participate, as the president of the Adventurer's Guild, I will naturally not be absent."

Bert Jin President Gentleman spoke respectfully, then suddenly thought of something, his eyes moved:

"I heard that Khalinsha nobles of all sizes will participate, and there may even be nobles from outside."

Speaking of the words "foreign nobles", President Bert Jin's voice was obviously lowered and accentuated.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Tang Zheng understood in his heart and responded gently, leading Enri towards the Adventurer's Guild and leaving.

The moods and eyes of the adventurers on both sides became more awe-inspiring, and also more passionate. Some even shouted for autographs.

Huh?

Tang Zheng The corners of his mouth twitched and his steps quickened.

Sure enough, he still needs to spend some time in the future to learn the writing of this world. Now he is completely relying on "Decode Magic" to step into the field of semi-illiteracy.

After President Bert Jin personally sent Tang Zheng and the two away, he immediately returned to the Adventurer's Guild in a hurry, ignoring the doubtful looks of all the adventurers.

"Place the original Gold Rank nameplate "Free Will" in the most conspicuous place in the guild!"

"Yes!"

"Put it on the center wall facing the door, hang it there, and decorate it with transparent glass."

"What? No?"

"Go buy it immediately and let the craftsmen make it!" President Bert Jin said loudly and excitedly.

There are nameplates left by Adamantite Rank and "Free Will" hanging here. Adventurer's Guild, whose presence is not high, will definitely be improved!

Horse carriage marching--

Barghest controlled Bone Chains, pulled the carriage, and started to drive in the direction of Guest House.

For the so-called banquet.

Tang Zheng is also not interested. According to his previous behavior style, after Abelion Hills Incident is solved, it is almost time to leave Holy Kingdom.

But because of "Assimilation Potion".

He needs to deal with it reasonably, and among Abelion Hills Incident, in the end he helped Demi-Human and stopped Kelart, which will inevitably have a certain impact.

""Assimilation Potion", Abelion Hills, Demi-Human." Tang Zheng's eyes flashed slightly.

"Free Will" may need to fade away for a while. He needs to carry out some actions secretly and upgrade his level, which are the most important things.

Thinking room.

Tang Zheng raised his arms casually and took off the light-colored gloves on his hands. Light blue magic power poured into the gloves.

Gloves made of ordinary materials simply cannot withstand the power of magic.

The palm of my hand trembled.

The two gloves turned into pieces in the palm of my hand!

Tang Zheng clenched his fists and stretched out the carriage window, opened his palms, and the fine glove fragments flew from his fingertips and dissipated in the air.

"Captain?"

Enri's light brown pupils were full of confusion and confusion.

Tang Zheng The fingertips swayed slightly, feeling the cool breeze blowing between the fingers in the evening, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"In magic, there is a type of magic called "object positioning", as well as many similar detection magics, which can lock the user's location through objects."

Tang Zheng opened his mouth and took out a Fine Steel nameplate he got from President Bert Jin, and handed it to Enri:

"Of course, this also requires certain conditions, and it requires the positioner to carry something with him for a long time."

"As an adventurer, if an enemy locates your location through objects on your body. If you set up traps and carry out targeted attacks without your knowledge, you will be in an extremely dangerous situation."

How could Tang Zheng not take precautions against an item like the adventurer's nameplate that was clearly related to him?

Enri Hearing these words, his face suddenly became nervous, and he immediately understood why the captain had to wear gloves.

I want to completely isolate the connection with the "gold" nameplate!

Um?

This doesn't seem right either.

Enri seemed to have discovered something, opened his mouth, and wondered if he was overthinking it.

"Are you thinking that temporary isolation with gloves doesn't make much sense?"

Tang Zheng saw the tangled look on Enri's face, smiled and took back the palm that was sticking out of the carriage:

"Because the "gold" nameplate is fake."

"I asked a craftsman to make it temporarily last night. Gold is a soft material, but it is much easier to make than Fine Steel."

From beginning to end.

The two "gold" nameplates given to the Adventurer's Guild and Tang Zheng have never really come into contact with each other. Even if they were temporarily hired by craftsmen, they were all completed through "Charm Species: All".

If someone really wants to locate his location through the "gold" nameplate in the future, he will only be able to locate the ordinary craftsman at "Khalinsha".

Detection and counter-detection are inherently intelligence and information games!

"If someone really does this in the future, they will be able to obtain certain information in disguised form."

Tang Zheng This thought flashed across his mind.

Of course, normal detection magic cannot locate items that have been away from the original user for too long.

This does not prevent Tang Zheng from taking precautions. After all, the magic he knows is only a small number. Even if Tier Magic cannot do it, what about some Super-Tier Magic?

Especially the most special one "Wish Upon a Star".

"I understand!" Enri nodded seriously, holding the Fine Steel nameplate tightly with both hands, feeling full of excitement and happiness.

She has never been exposed to this kind of knowledge before, but now that the captain told her, he agreed with her.

Guest House.

It is located in the center of the city and is built in a very grand manner. Although this city is a Fortress city, it is also the only Holy Kingdom city that must pass through to communicate with the outside world.

In addition, "Khalinsha" belongs to the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Holy King Family, so Guest House naturally became a place to entertain nobles or important people from other countries.

At this moment!

It's already evening.

Guest House is brightly lit, and Everlasting Light hanging on the wall and overhead exudes soft light, illuminating the hall.

neatly dressed attendants, carrying food and wine glasses, shuttled back and forth in the hall.

Some men and women in formal attire were standing in the center of the hall dancing, some were communicating in low voices, and some were drinking quietly.

There were also people wearing armor and weapons hanging on their bodies. As they walked, they kept making the sound of metal colliding.

This is not a normal banquet, it should be regarded as a "celebration banquet" to celebrate everyone's resolution of the crisis caused by Undead of Abelion Hills.

That's right!

Most of the people present were the surviving members of Holy Knights and Cleric Corps, and there were also some nobles and important figures from "Khalinsha" present.

Faced with this disaster that caused a large number of companions to leave, although everyone was at the banquet, their mood and interest were not too high.

This banquet came quite unexpectedly.

Enri sat in the corner, glanced at everyone at the banquet, picked up a piece of fruit and took a bite. She was indeed a little hungry.

Delicious!

The captain was not at the banquet, but left with the Remedios leader.

Just after taking a bite of fruit, someone came over again, and Enri could only get up with a headache to deal with it.

He's obviously hiding in a corner...

"Enri, are you bored? Do you want the two of us to have a fight?" A rough voice sounded from the front, full of excitement.

"Mr. Auland."

Enri saw a muscular man with a messy beard walking towards her.

"Red" Auland raised his thick arm and waved it, showing an expectant look.

"Well, I can't exert that kind of power now, Mr. Auland."

Enri refused. Many people inquired at the banquet, but she followed the captain's instructions and said it was because of Innate Talent.

"What a shame."

"Red" Auland looked straight at Enri, who had no muscles on his body and no trace of training, and shook his head in disappointment.

"Mr. Pabel, are you okay?" Enri asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, he is a strong man."

"Red" Auland grinned, but there was still a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

"Oh."

Enri feels that Mr. Pabel should be very sad.

After all, her wife died on the battlefield, which reminded her of what the captain seemed to have mentioned about "fate" before.

And at this moment.

On the upper floor of the banquet hall, in a luxuriously decorated room.

Kelart and Remedios, one curious and the other expressionless, looked at the six tubes of medicine on the table.

"This is what you call "Assimilation Potion"." Kelart's eyes sparkled.

This time she returned to "Khalinsha" with the permission of Her Majesty the Holy Queen, who gave her high authority on this matter.

"These three bottles are "Assimilation Potion". The general effect has been introduced just now, and there is a certain degree of danger."

Tang Zheng spoke calmly, and then pointed to three other red transparent medicine bottles:

"And these three bottles contain the blood of Demi-Human, which is also the material for refining "Assimilation Potion"."

As soon as these words came out.

Kelart's eyes showed surprise.

For such a precious potion, the other party would actually hand over the refining materials?

Originally, she was planning to figure out the ingredients for the potion, but she already had the idea of bleeding heavily for this purpose.

"You will definitely find a way to study the potion you took. This is inevitable and it is not difficult to guess."

Tang Zheng chuckled and spread his palms, his eyes colliding with Kelart's in the air:

"The materials are provided directly to you. You can try to make "Assimilation Potion". If you can make it, then congratulations."

"If you can't make it, let's continue talking instead of doing some useless experiments like now."

Kelart's look of surprise was fleeting, the corners of his narrow eyes raised, and he smiled sinisterly, "Heh, heh."

"Team Leader Tang is so confident, it seems he has determined that we Holy Kingdom cannot be produced."

Tang Zheng did not speak, which itself also represents a response.

"Bang!"

"Hey! The matter of preventing the elimination of Demi-Human is over!" Remedios saw Tang Zheng and Kelart talking and laughing, and slammed the table hard.

Kelart remained silent, but his eyes fell on the three vials containing Demi-Human's blood, thoughtfully.

"It seems that the leader Remedios did not understand." Tang Zheng said calmly.

"What do you mean?" Remedios said angrily.

"I am Alchemist, a Alchemist who is good at using Demi-Human blood to make potions."

Tang Zheng At the end of the sentence, his gentle look disappeared and he spoke coldly, "This is my purpose and reason!"
