Chapter 315: Being Targeted

"Thank you for me, the master of your family, I will come to thank you in person another day. ”

Alan instructed Stanise to give the servant two gold coins and sent him away in high spirits. As soon as the servant was gone, his face sank.

"Was Ogy's presence just a coincidence? Or did they already see who they were and what they were trying to do?"

Alan paced around the room, trying to figure out if Og's purpose for showing up had something to do with him.

"But how do you figure it out?

Allen's heart moved, since it was Og who brought the crystal back from the doorman and gave it to Eloth, then if his identity was discovered, I believe that the magic crystal must have been moved. Thinking of this, he hurriedly rushed back to the bedroom, found all the magic materials he had brought over, and began to assemble the magic array according to the previous design plan.

After the combination of the magic array plate was completed, Eren inlaid the magic crystal disguised as a colored stone, and then began to replenish the magic crystal.

"Huh?"

In the process of replenishing the crystal, Alan keenly sensed that there was a trace of abnormality in the crystal, which was a slight leakage of a magical element, if it weren't for his unusually sharp mental power, he might not have felt this change at all.

It seems that this is where the problem arises.

As the most powerful magician in alchemy on the continent, Alan understands very well that it is normal for there to be flaws on magic crystals, except for those crystals of the highest rank, there are also flaws on other crystals. According to the degree of flaws, there will be different degrees of leakage of magic elements in the middle and low-level magic crystals, which may not be a problem if used in a general magic array, but it will be very dangerous if used in a powerful magic array, especially this time the magic array specially designed by him to assassinate Des Hepburn. This time, the magic circle was designed to release magic energy very quickly, and if there is a flaw in this case, it may cause the magic crystal to break, resulting in the failure of the magic release.

"See what they did with the magic crystals?"

Alan took off the crystal and looked at it carefully, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

"Strange!"

Although the leakage of the magic element just now was very slight, it was clearly there, and it was impossible to be without problems. Alan washed off the dye on the surface of the crystal and looked at it again, this time he finally found the source of the problem, and then the cold feeling of being stared at by the snake appeared again,

There are several tiny defects the size of sesame seeds on the surface of the magic crystal, which were previously covered by dye so they cannot be seen, and even if they are washed off, they may not be noticeable if they are not looked at closely.

This can only be one possibility, and that is to let yourself fail to cast spells.

What a clever trick! It seems that there is a shadow of a magician who is proficient in alchemy behind this matter.

It seems that his piercing eyes have already been recognized!

As for why it was discovered, Alan is still unsure, but the Baker family has a blood feud with Des Hepburn, and they should not betray themselves. Unless the hatred of the Baker family is simply fake, and if the Baker family is fake, then this task is also fake and does not exist at all.

Holland actually sent him a mission that didn't exist at all.

Allen, who figured all this, felt that he was not just being stared at by a poisonous snake, but was bitten hard by a poisonous snake, and the deadly venom was being transmitted along the blood vessels towards the heart.

"I feel like we're being targeted. ”

Alan called Stanny, Miranda, and the two elves into the house, and said after casting a soundproofing spell at the door.

"Aren't we already being targeted as soon as we come?"

Stanny remembers that on the first day he arrived, he had noticed that there were many people watching near the reception center, and he reported it to Allen, but Allen didn't take it seriously.

"Our purpose has been discerned by the people of the Holy See. ”

Alan further explained.

"Brother Allen is saying that the Holy See knows that we are here to assassinate Des Hepburn?"

The little girl was taken aback and asked.

"Yes. ”

Alan presented his findings to the four of them.

"Great Elder, let's withdraw as soon as possible. ”

As soon as Alan spoke, the four of them immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, especially the two elves, who almost immediately suggested retreating.

"It's too late. Now that we are in the inner city, the Holy See will not give us the opportunity to leave easily. ”

Alan shook his head, Vanston's inner city was like a trap, since he had already come in, it would be difficult to get out, he only hoped that the Holy See would only deal with himself, so that others would have a chance to escape.

"Always try. ”

Fresnel doesn't give up.

"Okay! We'll split up tomorrow. ”

Alan agreed.

The next day, the five men left the reception center in three groups, walked around the city twice, and then headed straight for the city gates. The two elves were the first group, and they made it out of town without any obstacles, and the second group of Stanny and Miranda went equally well.

"Mr. Baker, stay here, our master has something important to discuss with you. ”

Allen, who was at the back, breathed a sigh of relief, and as he walked towards the city gate, a shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Sure enough!"

Alan sighed and stopped, and at some point a group of black-robed people appeared behind him.

The four people who went out of the city outside the city waited for Allen on the left and did not show up, and Allen on the right did not show up. The anxious little girl saw that it was getting late and the city gate was closed, so she was about to re-enter the city to find Alan, but was pulled by Stanny.

"Brother Allen said that no matter who it is, as long as you come out, you must never go back. ”

"If you are to be left alone, I will go back to him. ”

The little girl broke free of Stanny.

"I'll be with you. ”

Fresnel finally had a chance to share Miranda's opinion.

Stanny and Sergei couldn't stop the two women, so they could only prepare to accompany them into the city, but who knew that this time they were stopped when they walked to the city gate and were not allowed to enter. Only then did the two of them remember that all the seals they had used when they entered the city were in Allen's hands, and without these seals they would not have passed the inspection.

"What now?"

Sergey asked.

"You two go back to the Elven Forest for help, and we'll stay here and wait for Brother Alan. ”

Stanny thought for a moment and made arrangements.

As Alan had expected, Eros didn't have anything important to discuss with him, and he turned it over and over again to talk about the olive oil business. If he didn't know that his identity had been exposed, Alan would have done something perfunctory, but now that he knew that the other party was cheating on himself, he even suspected that the other party's identity was not a businessman at all, so he didn't even have a perfunctory interest, and only chatted a few words before leaving with physical discomfort. Of course, when he left, he was followed by a group of nervous black-robed people.
