Eloria City, the heart of the kingdom, is currently bathed in the afternoon sun.
Within the towering city walls, the wide stone streets are crowded with people and traffic.
The hustle and bustle is in sharp contrast to the embarrassment of days of trekking in the wilderness.
The mansion given to Benjamin by Ottorek III is located in the middle-class aristocratic district of Royal Capital. Although it is not luxurious, it occupies a large area and is equipped with pavilions and pavilions.
The door of the mansion is closed, and it seems peaceful, but in some unknown corners, a few pairs of eyes are watching every move in the house through the subtle surveillance Magic Array.
These are the surveillance personnel sent by the palace.
In their opinion, this "Lord Jack" has a mysterious origin and unparalleled abilities. Although His Majesty the King praised him profusely, he never let down his guard.
"Today's target person behaved normally." A monitor wearing a standard robe whispered to the crystal ball. His eyes penetrated the phantom of the crystal ball and looked at Benjamin's figure in the study at this moment.
In the crystal ball, Benjamin is sitting at the desk in the bedroom, holding his chin in one hand and casually tossing a few copper coins in the other hand.
The copper coins flew in the air, making a crisp collision sound, and then accurately fell back into his palm, or scattered on the table.
The regular sound of metal collisions made even the surveillance officer feel a little sleepy. After all, since arriving in this mansion, he spent some time doing such "boring" actions every day.
"It's been almost a week. Apart from playing with his small coins every day, he just reads books or goes for a walk." Because the work was too boring and boring, another monitor yawned impatiently.
"Is he too cautious? Or is this the normal behavior of Orc spies? They just arrived in a new environment and don't dare to act rashly?"
"Who knows? His Majesty the King said that the origin of this Jack is unknown. He may be a spy sent by Orc. Golden Port and the five Legend Even if is broken, he can bring those nobles back alive, which is weird in itself." The previous monitor frowned, "There is nothing wrong with being careful. Even if he is just an ordinary adventurer, a strong man of this level is worthy of our investment in manpower monitoring."
"Hey... it's so boring." The young monitors complained. Although their eyes were still staring at the surveillance screen, their spirits began to become a little slack without realizing it.
At this moment, Benjamin, who was described as "boring" by the monitor, was looking at the copper coins scattered on the table, with an imperceptible arc at the corner of his mouth.
He raised his hand, gathered all the copper coins into his palm, and tossed them up again.
The copper coins jingled down, forming an obscure hexagram.
"The art of divination... is still very useful in this environment." Benjamin whispered in his heart, brushing a copper coin with his fingertips, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.
With Benjamin's interest in Cultivation Civilization, it is natural that he has learned this special technique. Although he has not studied it in depth, he thinks it is not bad.
When he was at Noren Plane 13, he rarely used this monk's method.
The main reason is that the Noren plane and Noren Workshop itself are subordinate to Wizard Civilization, and Level 9 Wizard in Wizard Civilization is too powerful.
The contract signed when he first entered school was not just a contract with the Noren Academy. In addition to the contract regarding military service, a large part of the contract stated that the person signing the contract must not betray Wizard Civilization in any form.
This mandatory contract signed at the beginning of cultivation is basically one of the foundations for Wizard Civilization to be able to conquer multiple planes.
But in order to ensure that the wizards will not be squeezed out of any information once they are caught, these contracts are directly linked to Level 9 Wizard.
So theoretically, every wizard has an indirect causal relationship with Level 9 Wizard.
This makes Benjamin very helpless.
Divination may seem mysterious, but in fact it involves a lot. If you are not careful and touch the cause and effect of Level 9 Wizard, you will be seeking your own death.
What's more, the essence of divination is the use of the origin of the world. When you first come to a new plane, you know nothing about the rules of the plane and have no way to use it.
In many cases, it is far less direct and effective than directly hiring a Fate Wizard to help calculate.
But at this moment, in this situation of being surrounded by internal and external surveillance, the method of divination shows its unique convenience.
After all, to outsiders, he was just playing with coins out of boredom, and there was nothing unusual about him.
When he was Golden Port, he had begun to meticulously sense and study the rules of heaven and earth, the direction of spiritual veins, and the mixed atmosphere in the mortal belief network of Eloria Plane.
Through the previous two months of research, Benjamin already has a deep understanding of the rules of this world, and he can finally use this unknown method of divination.
Just now, with the help of divination, he accurately calculated the only surveillance blind spot in this mansion.
In fact, it cannot be regarded as a blind spot for monitoring, because professionals who arrange Magic Array will not make such mistakes.
Strictly speaking, that's just a visual blind spot for surveillance personnel.
It is a visual point that monitors will subconsciously ignore for various reasons at a specific time and location.
"It's almost time." Benjamin's eyes flashed.
He stood up seemingly bored, left the bedroom and walked towards the study on the other side.
The movements are natural and smooth, no different from the movements of the previous few days.
As he passed by the corridor, his hand flicked slightly.
In the crystal ball of the surveillance personnel, Benjamin was still under their surveillance. He walked into the study room to find a book and sat down to read it.
But in the mansion, Benjamin had a wanton smile on his lips.
Because just now, he used his Wizard Artifact to create an exquisite illusion in the entire study area.
There are many types of surveillance spells in the mansion, and it is very difficult to invade them one by one.
Moreover, the various servants in the mansion are also considered spies, so simply changing the monitoring is meaningless.
Therefore, directly using illusions to simulate his activities in the study is the most convenient and most covert way.
The servants did not dare to enter the study without his permission. After all, in this world, books are quite valuable property.
In the eyes of outside surveillance personnel, Benjamin will continue to be in the "sight", doing his daily reading, walking, and even playing with those copper coins.
Looking at the several surveillance cameras that had been shrouded in illusions, Benjamin smiled and the door closed softly.
He can finally take real action.
From Space Expansion Bag, Benjamin continued to take out various materials - shimmering rune stones, sheepskin scrolls exuding elemental atmosphere, and even a few metal parts refined by special techniques.
He carefully placed these materials in the center of the room and began to install them according to the instructions.
A few days later, night fell and the palace was brightly lit.
A grand welcome banquet is being held to welcome the Orc, Elf and Dwarf delegations from afar.
Benjamin, as the "Kingdom's Special Advisor", wore a fitting aristocratic dress and shuttled among the crowds of people drinking and drinking.
With a decent smile on his face, he occasionally chatted with various nobles, ministers, and priests, collecting information from various sources.
"Consultant Jack, your heroic deeds have spread throughout Royal Capital, you are the hero of the kingdom!" A fat Duke raised his glass and praised with a trace of awe and curiosity in his eyes.
"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty and everyone." Benjamin smiled back, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Benjamin's eyes narrowed slightly.
The various desires and emotions of the nobles also turned into complex Mortal Aura, which was silently absorbed by the Talisman Seal in his Dantian.
At this moment, his body stiffened slightly.
Perhaps because he had used divination too frequently recently, his perception had undergone some strange changes. Benjamin suddenly caught a few unusual auras.
These breaths had no change compared to the surroundings, but they carried a kind of fluctuation that made him feel threatening.
Being able to make him feel threatened means that these people are extremely powerful and should have surpassed Level 2 Being.
But the fact is that the number of Legend in the entire banquet is extremely rare, and each one is in a very conspicuous position, which does not fit the area perceived by Benjamin.
The most important thing is that although the opponent's strength makes him feel threatened, Benjamin feels like he is acting on a whim.
He still doesn't know exactly what this whim means, but it doesn't feel like it's dangerous.
Out of curiosity, Benjamin quietly searched the crowd and finally located the source of these auras.
The first one is a dazzling female Elf in the Elf mission.
The other party has a beautiful appearance and elegant temperament, which has attracted the attention of countless nobles.
Her smile was perfect, but Benjamin felt that there was a vague fierceness about her that was inconsistent with her noble temperament, like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
On the other side, among the Orc mission, a rough and heroic Orc warrior was eating meat and making a loud noise.
His language is vulgar, his temperament is reckless, and he exudes wildness.
There is another one in the Dwarf mission. A bold and rough-looking female Dwarf is holding a wine barrel and drinking heavily. Except for the eye-catching beard, she doesn't look like anything special.
These three happened to be members of the alien mission.
"Strange..."
Benjamin has been observing secretly for a while. Although he did not dare to observe too carefully for fear of alerting others, he has not found any relevant connection between these people and himself for the time being.
"Let's do some calculations? Forget it, let's not commit suicide."
After all, there are gods in this world. If you can make yourself feel threatened at the Level 1 Being stage, it is most likely related to the gods.
If you count the gods behind the opponent, then Benjamin can perform a sudden death on the spot.
"Tsk, just wait and see what happens."
On the other side, the nobles started to commotion. Benjamin glanced to the side and couldn't help but marvel in his heart:
"Is that Sage's apprentice? I didn't expect such a big shot to come to this banquet..."
Benjamin shook his head, put on a smile and reintegrated into the banquet.
