Lorenzo was transferred here to strengthen Suero's power. When he joined the Tower of China, he was not well-known. He spent most of his time studying academics and array formations, which also increased his strength. Now he is getting further and further on the road to high-level.
When Catalina and Wu Qi found him, he was checking Suero's invisibility detection array: "The arrays here are all old guys. If the opponent's level is higher, it is very likely that they can hide it."
He used a pen to add a few strokes to the magic circle and added two new structures, then input a trace of mental power to make the magic circle work. Catalina, an outsider, couldn't see anything, but Wu Qi exclaimed: "Amazing!"
Lorenzo smiled and said, "I still don't have the means to transcend the Tower of Talismans. By the way, what do you want from me? Tell me!"
Catalina explained the whole process and finally said, "We want to ask you if it is possible to find out what went wrong with the teleportation array at that time."
Lorenzo asked, "Did you bring any information or records?"
Wu Qi gave him all the records of the communication room and the transmission room. Lorenzo searched for a while and said, "The last time the transmission room was used, the night before, the target was an intelligence agent? Everything was normal... Call time... Connection time... Transmission time... It all seemed to be within the normal range. More than normal, these parameters couldn't be better. That's right, I designed and built this transmission array from scratch. It's been less than a month. It's impossible for something to go wrong so soon!"
Lorenzo handed the diary back to Wu Qi and said with a curled lip, "This is simply a disgrace to my reputation. I didn't know about this matter before, but now I know it, I can't let it go. I must find out the truth no matter what. This idiot is really bold. He plotted against me and even played tricks on my most proud formation. He messed with me, a formation master. No matter who he is, he is dead."
Catalina was delighted, for she knew very well who Lorenzo was. There were few people in the entire Chinese Tower who were more experienced than him in plotting and scheming.
Lorenzo asked Wu Qi, "Tell me, when the teleportation array was activated, where were you and Zhang Hong? And why did the teleportation fail?"
Wu Qi recalled: "At that time, we received Suero's instructions in the communication room and went to the next door to open the teleportation array. Suero's order was for them to initiate the call and then connect us. We just need to charge first and then answer.
At that time, Zhang Hong said that I would be responsible for controlling the magic array on the console, and he would place crystals on the magic array on the ground to charge them. I didn't pay much attention to how he placed the crystals, because my attention was on receiving Suero's signals. I remember that he just went to each position where the crystals were placed, and it seemed that he didn't touch other parts of the array. Especially the middle position of the array, he must have never entered it.
Later, Suero called us, and I received a magic signal and established a space connection. Everything seemed normal, but when it came to expanding the space channel, we tried several times and failed. At that time, the control array showed abnormal energy interference. Zhang Hong and I checked several times, but we didn't find any damage to the magic array. I also replaced several energy crystals, but it didn't work. Finally, Zhang Hong said that time was running out and we couldn't waste time here, so we went to the communication room to report the situation. "
Lorenzo asked: "Does this guy named Zhang Hong have any special skills in formations? Or does he have any special abilities?"
"I haven't heard of that. From the files I have here, I only know that he practices the Hanging Feather Method. He is good at elemental magic and can also use some spiritual magic. Moreover, his progress in practice is quite fast. After all, he reached a high level in less than two years." Katarina said.
Wu Qi said: "It seems that he is very active in participating in various magic lectures and courses. I have met him several times in various courses. However, he is indeed talented, better than me anyway."
"Magic lecture?" Lorenzo lowered his head and pondered. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I remember it. He has attended my lectures on formations twice, and one of the lectures was about the energy supply of formations."
Lorenzo took out a large A-size booklet from his space ring. This was his array design book. He turned to a page marked "Black Wood Pass Teleportation Array" and looked at it for a while. He pointed to a corner and said, "As long as you make a move here, the array will have the problem you mentioned."
Wu Qi looked carefully for a while and said, "I checked this corner and it's not damaged. If they really wanted to destroy such a hard array base, there would be no movement and no traces."
Lorenzo raised his lip and said, "You're thinking the wrong way. You don't have to destroy the existing formation to tamper with it. You can also use the materials used to draw the formation to add a stroke here. If a hole is blown up in the formation, you will naturally find it easily, but what if you just add a stroke to so many complicated lines?"
Wu Qi was speechless.
Lorenzo's finger swiped across the formation diagram. "Look, if we add a ten-centimeter arc here, we can increase the energy output in this corner, and then the originally balanced energy output will be disrupted. This is one of my class assignments, and the parameters don't even change much."
Wu Qi said, "So that's how it is! It seems that he did have the opportunity to do this. After taking over Black Wood Pass, Shi Hao asked all of us mages to participate in the work of adding to and reinforcing the Black Wood Pass magic circle. As a high-level mage, it's normal for him to have some materials for drawing magic circles. At that time, he only needed to block with his body to complete the task."
"So it's very likely that it was Zhang Hong." Catalina said.
"According to what you said, it's a sure thing. In any case, it's impossible that there is something wrong with my formation."
"But, why would he become a traitor and do such a thing? I really don't understand what his motive is," said Wu Qi.
"When you're trying to uncover a conspiracy, starting with the motive can sometimes lead you astray, because the motive is often hidden deep down." Lorenzo tapped his sketchbook, "These are the only real things."
"However, this is not conclusive evidence. We cannot verify what the formation of Heimu Pass is like." Catalina said.
"It can't be verified? Who said that!" (To be continued)
