Chapter 182 I said this disciple would be useful
Fang Wuwei and his three companions sat at the table, looking at the magic crystals on the table and thinking silently.
They have been here for a few days because they have no clues. Now the sudden appearance of such a thing has really given them a clear way out.
The castle was impossible to enter, and no useful information came out of it. All that came out every day was some gossip.
Fang Wuwei even tried to use illusion hypnosis to control and obtain information, but those people... seemed to know nothing. They didn't know how to break the barrier, how to bypass the barrier, and they didn't know any inside information.
The only thing they knew was that Ye Tian had been in the castle, and other than that, they knew how he had been slacking off.
The other four families in the central city also implement policies similar to those of the royal castle, but they are not as closed as the castle.
The four major families often interact with each other, and various noble ladies also go out shopping.
But the people below don’t know, and the people above don’t come out, so there is nothing that can be done.
They were also planning to find the right opportunity in a few days to sneak into one of the four major families to conduct surveys, but now... there is another way to go, which seems to be safer.
"That old man is saying that because magic crystals can store and release a large amount of magic, they are now regarded as strategic materials and are not easily passed on to others. The production location of these things... is somewhere outside the city."
Fang Wuwei pointed at the magic crystal and then pointed to a corner on the map. That place was already outside the central city and seemed to be in a dense forest.
Ikeuchi Higashihiko touched his chin, his face full of confusion.
"The production of magic crystals is closely related to the blood of the Chi Nei family. There is a special magic in our blood, so we can make these things, so the child's mother can't make them... What's more, making these things will also put a certain burden on our bodies. How can Ye Tian achieve mass production?"
Ikeuchi Dongyan picked up the magic crystal that did not belong to them and looked at it carefully.
"And both the color and quality are excellent..."
"So that means we need to go there and take a look now?"
Maki Ikeuchi looked at the map and calculated the distance. It wasn't too far.
"Yes... But for safety reasons, we still need to check out the situation first."
"When?"
"tonight......"
......................................................
The moon is bright in the sky, shining high in the sky, and the silvery moonlight is sprinkled in the dense forest.
Although it is not midsummer, there are still countless insects in the woods making long chirping sounds, bringing a breath of life.
Deep in the dense forest, there is a huge steel house, buried deep among countless trees, making it difficult to detect.
It was clearly late at night, but the houses were still brightly lit, and countless patrolling law enforcement officers were wandering outside, some holding knives and guns, or carrying magic wands.
"Hey, Chichuan, want one?"
"No, I was fined if my boss saw me."
Two of the law enforcement officers were leaning against the wall, and one of them took out two cigarettes from his pocket, apparently slacking off.
"Tsk, you are so timid."
The one who took out the cigarettes put one of them back in his pocket, picked up one, put it in his mouth and started puffing smoke.
"Didn't we always go fishing together before?"
"That's different... I said I don't want to smoke, but you really won't give it to me?!"
Chi Chuan reached directly into the other man's pocket and took out a cigarette, lit it amid the man's laughter and scolding, took a deep puff, and exhaled the thick smoke.
"Great... Oh, now I'm afraid of getting caught even when I smoke a cigarette."
"Yeah...it was okay to just slack off before..."
The two men just leaned against the wall. There was little light outside the house, so they huddled in the darkness, with only two sparks flickering.
"Those people in the Far East...are so disgusting. We can't even touch the fish now."
"............Stop talking. Who would have thought that someone would come here in the middle of the night to steal crystals?"
"Alas... that old witch is up to no good again. She has tightened the security and said that if this crystal is lost again, we will lose our jobs too... How about resigning?"
"Losing our jobs is still a good thing. If the Brun family knew about this, we would lose our heads, if it weren't for the old witch who suppressed us... And resign? You can resign if you want, but I can't. This is a stable job. I have an 80-year-old mother and a 3-year-old child waiting for me to take care of."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy, and then Chi Chuan took a deep puff of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go on patrol..."
"Alas, when will this day end~~"
The other person watched Chi Chuan leave, sighed deeply, crushed the cigarette butt directly in the palm of his hand and extinguished it, then threw it on the side of the road, raised his head and wailed, and left in the opposite direction.
Countless law enforcement officers were still on patrol, but it was obvious that they were not taking their patrol seriously at all. It was already late at night, and most of them were sleepy, yawning, and their eyes were dull.
Some of them have even found a place to curl up and take a nap... It can be seen that they are really relaxed at ordinary times.
Rather, they have actually stepped up their vigilance...in terms of magic.
Law enforcers, including the top brass inside, all rely on magical mental perception to detect whether anyone has sneaked in.
Now the law enforcement patrols have followed the rules and fully activated their magic mental perception. The range is very large, not to mention people, even a mouse coming in can be sensed.
Even those who were already asleep and slacking off, they secretly activated their all-round mental perception. No matter if they were sitting or sleeping in that area, as long as someone came in, they would immediately notice and wake up, and then go ahead to encircle and suppress them.
This is how magicians patrol. With powerful mental perception and a perception barrier, as long as they have this thing turned on, they don't really care if their bodies are slacking off.
The premise is that there is no relaxation of the release of spiritual perception.
With the dual protection of magic barrier and spiritual perception, the entire house and the surrounding area of dozens of meters have already been covered. In fact, most of them will be taken care of even when they are sleeping. They only need to be responsible for their own area.
But unfortunately, when magic appears, there will naturally be a corresponding nemesis.
Not far away in the dense forest, just out of perception, two little heads were staring at this place through telescopes.
Fang Wuwei and Ikeuchi Maki lay on the grass, each holding a telescope to observe the situation outside the house.
According to the intelligence, that's where the magic crystals are produced, and it's also where the old man came to steal things. But why does it look like... the security isn't very strict?
They were just robbed once not long ago, and now they don't learn their lesson again... No, the old man said that their patrol method is actually through mental perception as a surveying method... This method is much better than observation with the naked eye. Each one is a human-shaped radar.
but......
Fang Wuwei tilted his head and looked at Ikeuchi Maki who was lying beside him, and suddenly felt funny.
