With a mobile Arcane Eye with a detection range of ten kilometers and a violent combination of Blink, how many things could he accomplish in half a day?
The answer was the territories of several nobles, large and small.
This was to avoid missing areas. After all, the detection area of each circle had a serious overlap. Marco Lin didn't cross the limit, so the detection area was only connected at the edge. This time, he wasn't simply recording the map that he had walked through. He was searching for something on the ground with a target. In order to avoid the target that he was looking for from a blind spot, he could only use this clumsy method.
While Luke was lamenting the low efficiency, Uzov Gantia, who used to be a professional spy, began to doubt himself, as if he had lived half his life in vain.
He saw Luke suddenly disappear. After he came back, he used the same method as he used to show the Carefree Palace to shrink the terrain of nearly ten kilometers (100 kilometers) and restore it to his eyes. If the direction of the terrain was correct, there were even some dangerous areas that ordinary people couldn't enter. There were either ferocious magic beasts or rumors that people couldn't get out after they entered.
However, it wasn't over yet.
After dinner, Lin began to process the topographic map of the surrounding area that he had captured. Because it was a method that he had never done before, he had to start everything from the beginning.
First of all, he removed the "trees" that occupied the most ground. However, it wasn't so easy when he actually processed them. Because in the beginning, he could only remove one leaf at a time … After only two leaves, a certain someone went crazy! What a joke. More than ninety percent of the area was forests. How long would it take to remove the leaves one by one?
He tried to treat the same things as a whole and then remove them all at once. After working for a while, all the "green" objects on the map were removed as he wished, leaving only tree trunks and branches …
Well, at least it was progress. With the experience of removing leaves, it was much easier to remove tree trunks. In terms of quantity, the number of individual trees and the number of leaves weren't on the same level. If the latter could be processed, there was no reason for the former to be stuck. Also, the process somehow reminded him of the time when he photoshopped pictures before he transmigrated.
Sighing was one thing, but after clearing all the trees and looking at the bare landscape, the troublesome part began. How could they distinguish whether there were man-made structures within a radius of nearly a hundred kilometers? Using human eyes was undoubtedly the most accurate but also the least efficient method. What Lin Xiang did was to use the machine learning method of image recognition to distinguish.
As for how to use images to identify man-made traces, because this was a topic that had not been developed yet, there was no accumulated information in this area. Therefore, Lin could only make a rough identification based on the abnormally flat surface and the right angle. And the result was as expected, nothing.
He thought of several geophysical methods that could be used to explore the surface of the earth. He did have the theory, but he was clueless as to how to operate it. Conclusion: Not an undergraduate major.
If the scientific method didn't work, then they would use magic to make up the numbers. Similar to some of the special substances on Earth that emitted magnetic forces or radiation, some of the special substances in the Maze would automatically emit a certain proportion of Authority. This was especially true for various magical materials and some corpses that were very powerful when they were alive. Ordinary substances, on the other hand, would not have the detection reaction of the Authority of Magic.
Using this idea to change the way the landscape was presented, he soon displayed all the anomalies of the Authority of Magic. And the number … was also more than he had imagined. It made sense when he thought about it carefully, because most of these anomalies came from "living beings" or "magical beasts." The image capture of the Eye of Arcana was not limited to the terrain in the first place, so it was normal for living beings to exist in the landscape.
After thinking for a moment, Lin directly removed the Authority of Magic that existed on the ground. The rest were buried underground, but their origins were quite strong, so the Authority of Magic could be seen on the surface and be observed. But these things … seemed to be useless. Realizing that his progress was stuck, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and pinched his chin with the other hand, deep in thought.
"Hey, big brother." Watching from the side, Jermaine finally couldn't help but ask, "What are these colorful things that you're displaying?"
Hearing the silver-bearded dwarf's question, the few people who had been recording and observing around the Carefree Palace also turned their heads curiously to look at Lin who was working alone. And to the question, Lin subconsciously wanted to give a more correct answer, so he took out the original material database and compared it. He pointed at a few places and answered, "This should be pyrite, this is cyan crystal, and this place might be some kind of mineral that is accompanied by metalu copper. As for the rest, I don't know. "
"Big brother, you're saying that this is a mine?!" Jermaine's voice was an octave higher, and his eyes were shining.
However, Lin Sheng did not see the silver-bearded dwarf's expression, and only said with a bit of resentment, "Yes. From the size of the area where the Authority of Magic is being emitted, this is a pile of useless minerals, and not the location of the tomb that we're looking for. Unless that person's grave was not a small grave, but an entire mausoleum with a bunch of powerful magical weapons as a burial mound. How is that possible? Damn it, all the time spent on work was wasted. "
Lin Sheng's complaint was unimaginable to the silver-bearded dwarf who was used to living a life lacking in resources. In his hometown, as long as a mine other than stone was found, it would be a big event that could be celebrated for seven days and seven nights. How could there be so much disdain?
The same complaint made Uzov Gantia feel like he was about to collapse. If the location of these mines was known by the nobles, even if they pulled a group of farmers with pitchforks, no matter how dangerous the destination was, their greed would be enough to drive them to set fire to the place where the mines could be opened, and all the resources buried underground would be excavated.
Even if the person who knew was not a noble, with this information, he could still sell it for a good price. And such a place was actually near his hometown where he had lived for most of his life. Storm Bay had developed for hundreds of years, and no one had discovered it! And a guest who had just arrived had gone out for a walk and found so many minerals in less than half a day. Uzov felt like he was about to go crazy.
However, for a certain Lich, whether there were mines or not was not what she cared about. Instead, she was curious about a certain person's operation that she had never seen before. She even asked a few technical questions in a row, and at the same time, she offered her own opinions and ideas. After opening the conversation, Fen remembered what happened before and could not help but ask, "Why didn't you use this trick when you were at the World Tree? That way, you wouldn't have to sneak in yourself. "
"I wanted to," Lin replied very obediently, just like how he answered Fen's question earlier. "I tried, but when I observed the World Tree, all I saw was a bunch of dimensional windows, or there was no image blind area. As for the interior of the World Tree, there was no need to mention it. None of the preset observation modes could be used normally. They were all blocked by the protective patterns on the bark. "
"You can't 'see' it?"
"Yeah. Even now, I still don't know what the Arcane Eye is observing. " Somewhat disheartened, Lin simply closed the map around him and walked behind the two girls. "Did you find anything here?"
Kaya shook her head in acknowledgment. Hallumi seemed to want to show off, but she opened her mouth but could not say anything. She could only lower her head in disappointment.
Not getting an answer, Lin did not continue asking. In front of the two girls, apart from the map of Carefree Palace and a bunch of human figures with people standing on their heads, there was a bunch of windows that recorded memos. Kaya even recorded different information in different memos. Lin glanced at them and had a rough idea. He asked, "Did you find the original core members of the Hanen Society?"
"Yes, Teacher." After a series of operations, apart from highlighting specific people in the real scene, Kaya also showed the information she had learned from Uzov to Lin.
"Pull out the records of the conversations related to them for me."
As instructed, Kaya soon pushed the windows with several pages of content to Lin. However, before he started looking, he noticed that the man born and raised in Storm Bay shook his head with a bitter smile. "Young man, what's wrong? Do you think we did something wrong? "
"Wrong? No, Sir, I just feel that people like me will be useless in the future. "Uzov looked at the real scene of Carefree Palace in desolation, an indescribable bitterness in his eyes.
Facing someone who might only be a little younger than him, Lin still put on a mature appearance and said with a smile, "Young man, there's no need to belittle yourself. You see, this seems very impressive, and in fact, it is. However, this kind of information gathering is a passive method, to record and wait for the target to reveal themselves. However, after working for half a day like you, did you really get any useful information? This method is only suitable for a long time and is not so urgent. You can hide in the dark and take your time without anyone knowing. Moreover, the information gathered might not be useful. If you have the skills to be a spy, it is still useful. There are many things that you won't get any useful information if you don't take the initiative, especially when the other side is very tight-lipped. "
While comforting Uzov, Lin quickly browsed through the records Kaya had made. The content of the conversations of the core members of the Hanen Society had been recorded in great detail. However, it was a pity that he hadn't perfected the process of converting voice to text or lip-reading. Many of the conversations were still confusing.
It was like watching a foreign movie before transmigrating, but the subtitles were translated by Google. He could clearly recognize the translated words, but he could not understand them when they were put together. The good thing was that if he tried to guess, he could more or less understand the intentions of the people talking.
Suddenly, a paragraph of text fell into Lin's field of vision. He pondered over the meaning of the words and suddenly clapped his hands. "There's a chance! This is it! "
Seeing someone so excited, the others naturally gathered around to see what was going on. However, most people still did not understand how a conversation about going on a long trip could become an opportunity for someone.
