56: Detection and warning array deployment

Eric raised his eyebrows and said with interest, “Oh? Speak freely then.”

After a moment of thought, Brian said, “Although the matter of the Hellfire Demon appearing has been resolved, it’s hard to guarantee that similar situations won’t happen again in the future. Inspector Eric, do you have any suggestions on how my territory can better guard against such dangers?”

Eric stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, “Actually, you don’t need to worry. You should know that our world is a super-plane.

After the war over 1700 years ago, when we shattered several layers of hell and over 60 layers of the abyss, no known super-plane has dared to attack us since.”

“After all, fighting 2 against 1, from being invaded to counterattacking both sides, and winning—no one is foolish enough to try anything in our world.”

“The rest are just historical issues, none exceeding level 6. I see you have a level 6 Magic Formation protecting you, so there’s no need to worry.”

“Moreover, if there’s a problem, our Empire’s inspection center will handle it immediately. You just need to set up a large-range level 6 detection and warning Magic Formation within your territory.”

Eric explained in detail to Brian.

Upon hearing this, Brian’s eyes lit up.

So our world is that strong?

However, setting up a large-range detection Magic Formation is indeed a good idea.

At that time, Spirit Eye can monitor every movement within the territory and dozens of kilometers outside it at any time.

“Is it difficult to set up this level 6 detection and warning Magic Formation? Does it require any special materials?” Brian then asked Eric.

Eric smiled and said, “It’s not too difficult to set up; I can help you. As for materials, you can buy them if you have money.”

After saying the previous sentence, Eric gently rubbed his fingers again,

and said with a hint of slyness, “However, the price for setting up a level 6 Magic Formation is quite substantial.”

After speaking, he quietly looked at Brian,

his eyes revealing a ‘you know what I mean’ look.

Brian understood instantly.

‘Isn’t it just money? I don’t care about money!’

He then nodded and smiled, saying, “No problem, you name the labor fee for setting up the Magic Formation!”

Eric readily agreed. He said,

“No problem, since you trust me, I will definitely help you set up this Magic Formation properly. However, before setting it up, we first need to prepare the necessary materials.”

“As for the price of setting up the Magic Formation, it’s 50,000 high-grade magic stone. After all, this level 6 large-range Magic Formation is not a small-range one. This price is very fair!”

Saying this, Eric took out a long list of materials from his spatial ring and handed it to Brian.

It detailed all the materials needed to set up the level 6 detection and warning Magic Formation.

Brian took the list, read it carefully, and then said,

“Okay, the price is fine! However, I don’t have most of these materials. Let’s go back to my Mage Tower and purchase them on the magic net.”

Eric heard Brian agree so readily and also said cheerfully,

“Good, then I’ll fly my Mage Tower over too.”

Brian was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, “That would be even better.”

“Alright, let’s go,” Eric said, waving his hand lightly. The Mage Tower instantly flew towards the territory.

In just a few seconds, it arrived above Brian’s Mage Tower.

Then the Mage Tower quickly and steadily landed next to Brian’s Mage Tower.

Soon, the two arrived in front of Brian’s Mage Tower.

Brian raised his hand and waved, and the Mage Tower’s door opened. The two walked in.

“Let’s go to the reception room; I’ll have someone bring a magic net terminal.”

Brian said, leading Eric to a lavishly decorated room.

“Spirit Eye, please arrange for a robot to bring a magic net terminal; I need to place an order.”

Brian said to Spirit Eye as he walked.

“Understood, creator.”

Spirit Eye’s voice appeared in the room the moment Brian finished speaking.

Before long, a robot came over with a magic net terminal.

Brian took the magic net terminal and began searching for the required materials on the magic net.

Eric stood by, occasionally offering suggestions.

Soon, Brian found all the necessary materials.

“Alright, all materials have been ordered and will be delivered soon. I’ll have the robot go fetch them later.”

Brian turned around and said to Eric.

Eric nodded and smiled, “Then we’ll wait for the materials to arrive and start setting up the Magic Formation.”

Brian also smiled and replied, “Alright, with Inspector Eric here, I believe this Magic Formation will definitely be set up smoothly.”

The two exchanged smiles, then sat down in the reception room.

While waiting for the materials to arrive, they continued to discuss the details of the Magic Formation’s setup and some magical knowledge.

To repay his patron, Eric also shared his past experiences in setting up Magic Formations and various situations he encountered.

Brian listened attentively, occasionally raising his questions and insights. Eric patiently answered each one.

For a time, an atmosphere of magical discussion filled the entire room.

Not long after, Spirit Eye came to report that all purchased materials had been transported via the teleportation array.

Subsequently, a robot was seen entering with a spatial ring, which it respectfully handed to Brian.

Brian stood up, took the ring, and then handed it to Eric.

Eric looked at the materials and nodded with satisfaction: “The materials are all complete and of good quality. Then we can start setting up the Magic Formation.”

Brian’s spirits lifted: “Then I’ll trouble Inspector Eric. Where should we begin setting it up?”

Eric said to Brian, “We need to first determine the core position of the Magic Formation.”

“Then let’s place the core inside the castle.”

Brian felt that this Mage Tower would be rebuilt sooner or later, so it would be best to place it directly on the top floor of the castle.

Brian then led Eric to the top floor of the castle.

The top floor was spacious and well-lit, with some ordinary magic crystals embedded in the surrounding walls, emitting a soft glow.

Eric looked around and nodded slightly, saying,

“This is indeed a good choice. The space is large enough, and there are no factors around that would interfere with magic power.”

Saying this, he squatted down and took out some special magic powder from his spatial ring,

and drew a complex circular pattern on the ground.

Lines intertwined within the pattern, subtly emanating mysterious magical fluctuations.

Eric explained as he drew:

“The core of this level 6 detection and warning Magic Formation lies in precisely sensing abnormal magic power in the surrounding space. These lines and rune combinations can maximize the gathering and transmission of magic power information.”

Brian squatted beside him, carefully observing Eric’s every movement, occasionally nodding to show understanding.

After the core pattern was completed, Eric stood up, clapped the powder from his hands, and said,

“Next, we need to embed various materials into this core pattern in a specific order and position.”

Saying this, he successively took out various materials from his spatial ring,

including faintly glowing magic crystals, thin metal sheets covered with runes, and liquid containers holding special energy, among others.

Eric picked up a magic crystal, placed it on a key node of the pattern, and said, “This crystal can enhance the Magic Formation’s ability to sense evil auras.”

Then, he embedded a thin metal sheet in another position, “This sheet can filter out some irrelevant magic power interference.”

Brian watched intently from the side, occasionally reaching out to help hand over materials, while silently noting the function and placement of each material in his mind.

As more and more materials were embedded into the core pattern, the entire pattern began to emit a soft glow, and the magic power in the top floor space also became more active.

Eric wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said,

“The core part is complete. Next, we need to set up some auxiliary magical devices around it to expand the Magic Formation’s detection range.”

So, Eric began to busy himself around the top floor space again,

installing various magical devices,

such as magic loudspeakers that resembled small horns,

used to sound an alarm when danger was detected;

and magic reflection devices that looked like mirrors,

which could feedback detected information to the central control.

During the process of setting up these auxiliary devices,

Eric continuously explained their working principles and how they cooperated with each other to Brian,

and Brian also learned exceptionally diligently, occasionally raising his own ideas and questions, which Eric patiently answered one by one.

After some effort, all the auxiliary devices were installed, and the entire level 6 detection and warning Magic Formation was finally initially set up.

Eric looked at the Magic Formation in front of him, which was emitting powerful magical fluctuations, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face as he said,

“Now, we will proceed with the final debugging and activation.”

When Brian saw Eric’s expression, he suddenly thought of a well-known phrase and expression!

‘Now is the moment to witness a miracle!’

Therefore, Brian really wanted to say:

‘Please begin your performance!’
