He was a waiter in the tavern and a member of the Turtledove Alliance. His name was Uzov Gantia, and he was born and raised in Storm Bay.
When he became an adult, he traveled for a while. It was during that time that he got in touch with a few like-minded companions and was pulled into the Turtledove Alliance together. His mother died early, and because his father's health deteriorated, he returned to his hometown and took over the tavern. Relying on his savings from his travels, even if the tavern's business was bad, he could still get by. At the same time, he could also help some members of the alliance.
As the meeting place of the alliance, it was not forced by anyone. It was just that he was willing to do it, so he drew the mark of a three-feathered bird in the corner. When he got tired of being a secret receptionist, he would erase the mark. Other than his brothers in the alliance who were familiar with him, no one else would know his former identity.
But before he got tired of it, he first got tired of life in the tavern. Coupled with the recent death of his father and the foul atmosphere in Storm Bay because of the Hanen Society, he had the idea of leaving. He was just waiting for an opportunity that he himself could not describe.
This feeling was wonderful. The reason he did not leave was that he felt like there was something he had not done yet, so he stayed. This feeling had saved him several times in the past, so he would rather wait and see what that opportunity was.
Now that he saw it, he believed that it was that destined 'opportunity'.
A sister in the alliance hoped that he could point out the location of Carefree Palace. He thought that he would be asked to draw a map of the city, but when he came up to take a look, he realized that it was really just him pointing out the location.
A small panoramic view of Storm Bay, and he could even see people moving around. Every building, every inch of the city wall, every corner, was so realistic. No! That should be real, because he could even see the ragged flag swaying in the wind.
"This … How did you do it?" Uzov was flabbergasted by this thing that completely overturned his worldview.
"In a word, it's magic. The theory behind it is very deep. Even if an official mage came to ask, I would have to waste my breath. So you might as well understand it simply and know that it was done by magic. Then, where is Carefree Palace? "Lin used what he thought was the most approachable way to explain.
Not knowing if he could touch the object in front of him, Uzov tiptoed and bent over slightly. He extended his arm and pointed at a rather large cluster of buildings, saying, "This is the territory of Carefree Palace. There were five buildings and three courtyards in the front, middle, and back. It was a rather luxurious residence in the city. I'm not sure where the important people of the Hanen Society live. But in the past, the most important members of the Medici family lived in this building. "Uzov pointed to a grayish-white building with two floors and a spire protruding from the center.
"Girl," Lin called out. Kaya had long since taken over the control of this map that the three of them were used to. She didn't need any explicit instructions to know what her teacher was thinking. She immediately zoomed in on the map and focused the panoramic view on Carefree Palace, increasing the overall scale by quite a bit.
Uzov whistled in admiration. Not only could the object in front of him be zoomed in, but he also noticed the moving figures and could vaguely make out their faces. If one had to point out a flaw, it would be that there was no way to 'see' the situation inside the building, and of course, there was no way to see the 'people' inside.
However, Lin was somewhat dissatisfied with such a performance. He frowned and said, "Expand the scope of the surveillance to include the first row of houses outside of Carefree Palace."
Although she didn't understand her teacher's intentions, Kaya still did as she was told. However, she didn't adjust the scale of the map. Instead, she controlled the coffin and expanded the scope of the map slightly to include the surrounding houses.
Lin took a look and circled a few people standing on the roofs of the surrounding houses, saying, "This should be their lookout post. Record the range of their movements and use the method of keeping track of their footprints. Also, record the time of changing posts. "
The two girls wouldn't question their teacher when it came to things they didn't understand. At most, they would ask 'why?'. The dwarves wanted to raise their doubts, but when they thought of a certain person's attitude, they shrank back.
On the other hand, Uzov's eyes lit up when he heard this. Based on what he saw and his own experience, the figures on the roofs were most likely Carefree Palace's hidden sentries. However, most people would be moving on the ground and would subconsciously ignore the situation above their heads. If one looked down from above, these hidden sentries could be seen at a glance.
Even so, even if a normal person could see from such a perspective, they wouldn't have the relevant experience and would ignore the threats on the roofs. Thus, the man who would notice this and could use this strange object before him had piqued Uzov Gantia's interest.
"Yes, teacher." Kaya didn't have that many psychological changes. She only followed the instructions and pulled out a small recording board. Soon, she recorded the relevant information and her teacher's request.
After capturing the people on the roofs, Lin looked at the figures that had appeared on the windowsills. After confirming that there were no watchers on the windowsills, he turned his gaze to the interior of Carefree Palace. "Girl, thermal imaging."
After receiving the instructions, Kaya immediately changed the viewing mode of the actual scene. Infrared thermal imaging could distinguish between people with high and low temperatures. This wasn't something that the brick walls of the maze could block. Instantly, all the moving living people in Carefree Palace were revealed. If there was a flaw, it was that the faces couldn't be seen clearly. However, it was possible to roughly determine the person's gender and size from their body temperature.
"Girl, record the number and type."
The various procedures for counting and locking people had been done a long time ago. Thus, Kaya only used the functions that had already been completed and quickly figured out the number of people in Carefree Palace.
However, Lin didn't give any other instructions. After thinking for a while, he said to Fen, "I haven't done any of these observation modes on the undead. What do you think the situation of your old subordinate is like? Does he have a body temperature? Are there any other characteristics that can be observed? "
Even though she hadn't done any actual research in the past, with the Lich's current understanding of "living things," she said after thinking for a moment. "That guy is a sewn up corpse. When he's still and not moving, he's no different from a dead person. However, as long as there's movement and muscle contraction, there will be a body temperature. There will be a difference depending on the activity. This is because there's no circulatory function in his body, so there won't be any thermoregulation function. "
"Hmm." After thinking for a moment, Lin asked, "Girl, can you observe any 'corpses' or abnormal body temperature?"
"No, Teacher. Based on the characteristics of the body temperature, there are no Homo sapiens creatures outside of our records. "The recorded samples included most of the races in the maze. There were only a few rare races that didn't include most of the humanoid creatures like the Orcs and the Draconians.
"What other creatures are there?" Lin asked about the non-human creatures.
"Fourteen creatures that look like dogs, sixty-three rats, ordinary insects aside, and one that looks like a mid-sized magical beast."
"I heard that they have a Thunder Leopard. Perhaps the magical beast you saw was that one. Hmm, does this count as seeing it? "Uzov added.
Kaya had recorded all the information that could be recorded after a few operations. She turned her head and asked, "Teacher, should we use ultrasonic waves to scan the target?"
"No, Magic Breakers are very sensitive to magic. That kind of large-scale active detection might alert the enemy. Let's not consider that for now. "Lin Shenyin asked after a moment," Can we try recording the sound? Also, how's the progress on the lip-reading project? "
The transmission of sound depended on the vibration of the air. In other words, as long as one could observe the changes in the wind element, one could find a way to revert it into sound, or even turn it into words to record it.
Lin had put in a lot of effort into this research back in the Tower of the Great Sage. Especially for spies who hid in the crowd and stirred up the crowd's emotions, the location of their voices, and the content of their words. Also, as long as they opened their mouths to speak, no matter how loud or loud their voices were, they could be programmed to revert these subtle signs.
Lin Shenyin would never admit that it was the perverted personality of a peeping tom in his bones at work.
The way these things were presented reminded Lin Shenyin of when he was playing video games back on Earth and saw a bunch of NPCs with dialogue boxes on their foreheads. The advantage of turning the dialogue into words was that it was easier to record and refer to than the original sound source.
In this kind of processing of large amounts of text, it just so happened that the "forum index" program that Kaya had written in the past came in handy. She had even written an alarm mechanism. As long as certain words were mentioned, the relevant dialogue would be stored separately and a notification window would pop up in a conspicuous place.
However, although it seemed that a lot of things had been done, they only seemed to be high-end. In fact, there was no real progress. Lin also knew that as long as he continued to monitor patiently, he would find the target sooner or later or find the relevant clues, but he did not want to spend too much time here.
The only reason that Lich had stayed was to take care of the traitor, Juyan Hanen. With Fen's current strength and the use of Blink, it was completely possible to execute the decapitation strategy, but the premise was that there was sufficient information to support it. If they did not even know where the head was, how could they execute the decapitation strategy? Therefore, he kept thinking about whether there was a faster way to determine the enemy's location.
"Well, girl, can you zoom in on everyone's faces that can be seen?" The reason why he did not mention analysis was that the original series of surveillance images from the Arcane Eye in the Maze Land was not a problem at all.
Although Kaya did not understand the purpose of this, she still did as she was told. Enlarged human faces replaced the dialog boxes and stood on top of the heads of the moving humanoid figures. Seeing this, Lin said to Fen, "Take a look. Is there anyone who looks like your old subordinate?"
"What for?" The Lich was also confused.
"If they look alike, they might be related. You didn't hear it just now. The Hanen Society wants to revive their ancestor. If they are related by blood, maybe we can use a prophecy spell to find the person you're looking for. Then, we'll go over and slap them. That's simple. "
