Arshe gripped the Iron Magic Staff in her hand, sitting down somewhat nervously.
"Would you like something to drink?"
Tang Zheng asked with a smile, his tone gentle.
"Anything is fine," Arshe replied quickly, sitting up straight.
"Then we'll have another Black Tea," Tang Zheng said to the server, noticing her nervousness.
It wasn't difficult to find this golden-haired, shoulder-length girl, especially since she was a student at the Imperial Magic Academy.
Moreover, Arshe was quite famous.
At her age, she had already mastered Third Tier magic, a talent that would definitely place her among the Geniuses in another world.
Tang Zheng glanced at her, and another similar girl came to mind.
In E-Rantel, there was an Adventurer team called Darkness Sword, which included a girl named Ninya who disguised herself as a boy. She was very similar to Arshe.
In the eyes of the people of that world, both were considered Geniuses.
However, the only difference was that Arshe's talent had already reached its limit. She had essentially exchanged all of her talent in advance.
The other girl, according to the novel, had the potential to surpass the Hero Domain and become the fifth Aberrant One among human Magic Casters.
When Tang Zheng was in E-Rantel, he had specifically investigated the information about this Adventurer team, but there was no relevant information, indicating that they had not yet been formed.
After a short while.
A steaming cup of Black Tea was placed in front of Arshe.
"Sir, may I ask what you need me for?" Arshe's voice lowered as she said, "Um, the reward..."
"This is an advance payment of ten Gold Coins. I found you because I want to use your Innate Ability to test the effects of a Magic Item I just purchased."
Tang Zheng took out a pouch filled with Gold Coins and handed it directly to Arshe, speaking generously.
Looking at the Gold Coins in the pouch, Arshe's blue eyes widened slightly, and even her nervousness subsided a lot.
She was indeed very short on money right now. Since her father had been stripped of his title, the family had no source of income, but her parents continued to live the lifestyle of nobles.
This was quickly depleting their savings, and Arshe had already begun to consider earning money. The ten Gold Coins in front of her were a complete lifesaver.
And it was just an advance payment...
"Sir, there may be some discrepancies in the information you heard about my Innate Ability."
"My ability can only observe Magic Casters and the highest tier of magic they can use. It doesn't have the ability to inspect Magic Items."
Arshe didn't immediately pick up the Gold Coins but explained seriously, "Also, it can only observe Mana-based magic."
The young man in front of her, with his striking black hair and seemingly gentle nature, appeared to be a faith-based Magic Caster from his attire.
"The Magic Item I purchased has the effect of hindering detection magic, but the true effect of this item remains to be verified."
Tang Zheng smiled gently and explained, "That's why I wanted to use your Innate Ability to confirm it. Of course, I can also use Mana-based magic."
Hearing this.
Arshe was relieved and also somewhat surprised.
A Magic Item that hinders detection? I've never heard of it. But such a Magic Item must be very expensive.
He's rich and powerful.
Arshe sighed inwardly and then quickly said, "Right here?"
"If it's inconvenient, we can change locations," Tang Zheng said, not minding.
"No problem."
Arshe's expression turned serious as she looked up at Tang Zheng, her blue pupils emitting a faint magical glow.
Under her Magic Eye of Insight, the higher the level of tier magic a person possessed, the brighter the Mana aura surrounding them would be.
However, at this moment! In her eyes, Tang Zheng didn't have any mana aura at all, looking like someone who wasn't proficient in mana-based magic.
If she had encountered this situation before, she might have thought that way.
A look of surprise couldn't help but appear on Arshe's face: "I can't tell at all. The Magic Item you purchased, sir, has an excellent effect."
"Thank you."
A smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face, his gaze somewhat profound.
He didn't have any Magic Items on him at all.
As early as in the Royal Capital, he had noticed a concise characteristic behind his Innate Ability Player.
Innate Ability: Player (Unobservable, Unseizable).
At that time.
Because he had just transmigrated, he didn't pay too much attention to this aspect. Now, after spending half a month in the Imperial Capital, he suddenly remembered this characteristic when summarizing his own abilities.
Battles are not just about pure strength, but also include some characteristics and countermeasures.
For example, the 'Undying Spirit' Tang Zheng obtained from Khajiit was a mental countermeasure against charm-type magic.
In addition to this, there are also detection countermeasures, and time countermeasures that must be prepared for after reaching level 70, and so on.
The "Unobservable" ability made Tang Zheng realize that his Innate Ability 'Player' might inherently have a certain anti-detection characteristic.
Now it has been verified! "This is another reward." Tang Zheng took out another ten Gold Coins and handed them over.
Arshe was a little tongue-tied. To be willing to spend 20 Gold Coins just for a verification was truly the act of a wealthy person.
"By the way, Miss Arshe."
"I wonder if you have any classmates who have mastered detection-type magic? I would like to verify it again." Tang Zheng smiled and spoke again.
As soon as the words fell.
A figure appeared in Arshe's mind, but she didn't speak.
"If it's possible to invite the other party over, I can pay the same reward as before. Of course, your classmate's reward will be paid separately."
Tang Zheng saw the hesitation on Arshe's face and immediately pressed on.
"Okay."
Arshe tightened her grip on the Magic Staff, raised her head, and looked at Tang Zheng with clear blue eyes. "However, please try not to mention money in front of her. Also, if she offends you in any way, I hope you won't mind."
"Of course."
Tang Zheng nodded, feeling a burst of joy in his heart.
He really came to the Imperial Magic Academy for the right reason this time.
If it weren't for the restriction on outsiders entering, Tang Zheng would have really wanted to visit and maybe obtain a lot of useful magic, or even basic professions.
Arshe picked up her staff and left in a hurry.
Tang Zheng then instructed the staff in the restaurant to remove the two cups of Black Tea on the table and ordered some food.
About half an hour or so.
Arshe appeared outside the restaurant with a blonde girl of about the same age.
Unlike Arshe's somewhat cramped attire, the other party was wearing a dark blue mage robe. Although she wasn't holding a Magic Staff in her hand, she was wearing a similarly water-blue holy seal on her chest.
This not only represented the god she believed in, but was also a precious Magic Item.
The blonde girl pushed open the door of the restaurant and walked in, immediately locking onto Tang Zheng's location and striding over.
"You are Arshe's friend?"
The blonde girl raised her head and sized Tang Zheng up and down without any scruples, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes: "You're older than Arshe, but it's not a big problem."
"Frianne!" Arshe quickly tugged at the blonde girl's sleeve, her face a little red.
Tang Zheng glanced at Arshe, then stood up and smiled: "Yes, I am."
"Let me introduce myself, Frianne Vearia Lan Gucimond." After Frianne finished speaking, she sat down directly.
Gucimond?
While investigating Renner's information, Tang Zheng also collected information on some famous nobles within the Bahharuth Empire.
The girl before him was the daughter of a duke.
However, she didn't have much of a role in the anime, so she was obviously a minor character.
Regarding this.
Tang Zheng tried his best to appear surprised.
"Bring me an iced Macatia," Frianne skillfully said to the server beside her, then turned to look at Tang Zheng, "Now, what do you need me to do?"
"The only detection magic I've mastered so far are two types. One is Life Detection, and the other is Object Location. However, I'm not very proficient with the second one, and I can't locate things that are too far away."
"Could you use both types of magic?" Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he smiled.
"No problem."
"Life Detection."
Frianne aimed her hands at Tang Zheng and chanted softly.
This was a relatively common detection spell that could detect the presence of life in the surrounding area, but it didn't work on Undead.
"I can sense your presence normally. This Magic Item of yours is really special. It can hide from Arshe's Innate Ability, but it can't block ordinary detection magic?"
Frianne opened her eyes and said with some curiosity.
Hearing this, Tang Zheng pondered slightly.
Unobservable...
Logically speaking, since even the "Evil Eye of Annihilation" couldn't detect his situation, then Life Detection, a common detection spell, shouldn't be able to detect him either.
But the opposite was true.
Did this mean that his Player ability blocked "scrying" detection magic?
Like *Clairvoyance, Crystal Monitor, and Astrology* type spells.
But it couldn't block perception-type magic like Life Detection, *Magic Detection*, or similar "Ki Detection" from the Monk class.
