Lena didn't panic at all when the three people in the meeting room stared at her. She didn't answer Bishop Edward's question directly. Instead, she calmly turned her gaze to Marguerite, who was sitting at the back, and asked, "Marguerite, you were the one who experienced the explosion in Loen City. Can you share your thoughts with us?"
Marguerite was puzzled when she saw Lena kicking the ball into her court, but she still stood up and nodded. "I agree with the intelligence department. The bomber is very likely an alchemist. A few hours before the explosion, the Eye of the Storm in the nearby church discovered energy fluctuations in the house. That's why we went there to investigate. I investigated the ruins of the house that exploded in Loen City, but I didn't find any valuable traces. The bomber cleaned up his own traces very well. Obviously, he's a very careful person!"
"I personally think that the bomber carried out some kind of energy activity in that house, and accidentally caused the energy to leak out, which was discovered by the Eye of the Storm. The bomber was very alert. He realized the risk, so he decided to abandon the house. He cleaned up all the traces there and placed the alchemy bomb in that house!"
"I think there are two reasons why he placed the bomb. First, he used the explosion to completely cover up and eliminate his own traces in the house. Second, he wanted to test if the church had discovered the house!"
"I'm so scared …" Lena looked at Marguerite with admiration. She clapped her hands gently and praised, "Marguerite, you are indeed the person that Cardinal Elena thinks highly of. You have a very clear mind!"
"You flatter me, Madam Lena!" Marguerite wasn't very excited about Lena's praise. She bowed slightly to Lena and sat back in her seat.
"Three hours after the explosion in Loen City, I went to the scene to investigate, and I found this at the scene!" While speaking, Ms. Lena took out a piece of broken floor tile from her Space Ring and showed it to the other three people in the conference room.
This piece of floor tile was about half the size of a fist. It was milky-white in color, and the relatively smooth surface had some decorative patterns engraved on it. It looked like a portion of a floor tile sold at the Loen Renovation Market for five pence each.
"What is this?" Compared to Edward and the silent masked man, Margaret, who had just said that she didn't find any traces of the explosion and was slapped in the face by Ms. Lena, was obviously a little impatient. She took the initiative to ask, "What's the matter?
"This is a Felipe brand floor tile. It's mostly used for mid-grade renovations. Loen North's flourishing renovation market costs seven pence a piece at retail, and five pence a piece wholesale. The floor tile itself isn't important. What's important is what this floor tile experienced in the house?" Lena explained unhurriedly, "That's right.
"Release the energy!" The gray-robed masked man, who had been sitting quietly in his seat, suddenly said in a hoarse voice.
"That's right! Lord Langley is right. There are traces of energy release on this floor tile! "Ms. Leo smiled and nodded at the gray-robed masked man.
Hearing Ms. Lena say the words "release the energy", Marguerite's expression suddenly became enlightened, as though she had understood something.
"As everyone knows, the phenomenon of energy release is caused by an array. When an array is constructed in a place for a long time, the array's energy will inevitably gradually erode the surrounding environment. This phenomenon is difficult to avoid as long as the person who set up the array doesn't have very, very deep attainments in the art of arrays. Although the energy release phenomenon can be removed at a later stage,"
"The removal process is not only very troublesome, but also requires a very long time. Although the energy release phenomenon on this floor tile exists, it isn't very clear. To discover this phenomenon, one needs to have the mental strength of an official Wizard. This is also why Marguerite didn't discover this phenomenon at the scene of the explosion."
"The energy release phenomenon on this floor tile shows that, just like what Marguerite said, the bomber was forced to abandon the house after realizing the threat. He didn't have a plan to evacuate the house. Otherwise, with this person's cautiousness, he wouldn't have left these traces of energy release on it!" Ms. Lena explained the situation of the broken floor tile in one breath.
"I saw the incident assessment report saying that the destruction of the protective array of the secret warehouse in Mallorca was also related to the array?" After carefully listening to Ms. Lena's description, Edward narrowed his eyes and said.
"That's right! The traces of energy release on this broken floor tile and some of the items at the scene of the explosion in the secret warehouse in Mallorca were handed over to Master Smolin for inspection three days ago. Before the start of this meeting, Master Smolin had already given me the results of the inspection! " Speaking until here, Ms. Lena withdrew the faint smile on her face and said with a serious expression,
"Master Smolin can basically conclude from the energy release on that broken floor tile that the main function of the array set up before the explosion in the Loen City District was to conceal the building. Furthermore, Master Smolin believes that, although the method of the person who set up the array is relatively ordinary, the structure of the array is very exquisite. It doesn't match the level of the person who set up the array!"
"As for the explosion in the secret warehouse in Mallorca, Master Smolin, after inspecting many of the items I sent over, believes that the bomber was able to destroy the protective array of the secret warehouse because he used some kind of array!" At this point, the serious Ms. Lena shook her head and said with some regret, "This bomber is very crafty.
"The Bomber is very cunning. He knew that he didn't have much time left. There were traces of his looting in the secret warehouse, so he used the explosion to cover it all up. Now it seems that he has achieved his goal. Because of the explosion in the ruins of the secret warehouse in Mallorca, many of the traces were covered up. Otherwise, we might be able to deduce his strength, realm, and more based on those traces!"
"An intermediate Apprentice Wizard! That bomber is an intermediate Apprentice Wizard! " The mysterious gray-robed masked man, who had just been called Mr. Langley by Ms. Lena, spoke again with his unusually hoarse voice.
