Early the next morning.

Xia Zuo came to the test flight platform and installed auxiliary modules on his tower.

He bought 3 expensive modules from the outer temple.

The first one is [Beam Ability Field Expander]. The function of this thing is to increase the energy density of the beam energy field. The beam ability field, which originally could only hold 3.6 million points of elemental energy, was expanded by about 10%, increasing the overall capacity to 3.96 million points. A beam ability field adapted to the future 36 million energy shields.

The second one is [Stress Deflection Shield Generator].

When facing the threat of projectiles, you can rely on armor plates and energy shields to resist, or you can have the tower mage personally cast [Reflect Projectiles] and [Deflect Projectiles] to deal with it.

But if the incoming projectiles are too dense, it is better to use a stress deflection shield generator. It integrates two functions: quick response and automatic response, which can help the tower mage block 99% of the projectile attacks.

The third module is interesting. Hey, Xia Zuo is very satisfied with it.

This is a [Camouflage Suit] that can dress Xia Zuo's tower into a stone building, making it look the same as a normal tower.

The appearance of Xia Zuo's current tower is a colored light building with blue lines as the outline and filled with various solid color squares. It is very unusual. This is the inevitable result of the extensive use of beam energy fields.

With the camouflage suit, Xia Zuo's tower will no longer be so eye-catching.

When the Starry Sky Strange Demon sees his tower again, he will only treat it as an ordinary tower.

The starry sky monsters will attack those places that they think are weak points, but they don't know that Xia Zuo's tower is covered from head to toe with a beam energy field that can automatically repair. There is no so-called weak point...

After installing the auxiliary modules, it’s time for the exciting testing session.

Xia Zuo was eager to start the test and completed all projects, large and small. As expected, he was promoted to another level.

At this point, the construction of the tower is completed.

He can apply for promotion to Archmage.

More than half a month had passed since he got the auxiliary module from Beatrice, and Xia Zuo stepped into her study again.

Beatrice is controlling six palms made of silver sand to write text. The desk and bookshelf are filled with official letters waiting to be processed.

Sure enough, once some major events occurred in the kingdom that were difficult for the nobles to control, Beatrice would come out, take over the power of managing the kingdom's affairs, and return to busy official duties.

"Xia Zuo, you came just in time. I have something to entrust to you." Beatrice raised her head from the pile of official letters and pointed to the chair opposite the table.

"Please tell me, teacher. I will do it." Xia Zuo sat down and said.

"After the monsters were released, there was a little trouble in the central mountainous area." Beatrice took out a hand-drawn map and handed it to Xia Zuo through the air. "A group of monsters detained by the army escaped from Masano City. In the central mountainous area. We have been keeping a close eye on every group of monsters, but this group of monsters was able to escape our tracking and successfully escaped into the mountainous area. It is difficult not to make people suspect that the Church of Strange Demons is causing trouble."

The hand-drawn map shows that this group of monsters passed through three open military defense lines and one secret defense line secretly set up by the academy mage. They set out from the western city of the kingdom, Masano City, and entered the central mountainous area straight away. The four lines of defense along the way did not have much impact on this group of monsters, and the two sides did not even meet each other.

It was as if these monsters had already understood the light and dark lines of defense.

The problem here may be more than just the infiltration of the Strange Demon Church.

The kingdom's defense line set up in the open is useless, and it is understandable that monsters can penetrate it. This is not a mockery of them, but the kingdom's army at this stage has little experience in facing monsters, whether it is in terms of tactical equipment or strategy. In terms of arrangement, it is difficult to pose a fatal threat to monsters.

But how could the secret defense line deployed by the academy’s mage be penetrated by monsters?

This was arranged by Beatrice herself.

"You suspect that there is a traitor in this academy mage team, right?" Xia Zuo raised his head and asked.

"It's not necessarily a traitor, or it's just someone being negligent."

Beatrice crossed her hands on the table, "If this situation had happened before, I would have sent Dem over to investigate the matter. But this matter involves a plan to release monsters. I have never been concerned about this plan. The top secrets mentioned by any resident mage. Now, I must call them back and use spiritual media and enchantment to search their memories. If there is no problem with the academy mage, I will send it back to the original post. If there is a problem, just do whatever you want. Yes, such behavior as collaborating with the enemy is also a death sentence in the Starry Night Kingdom."

Xia Zuo pondered for a moment, "So, you still don't know who betrayed the school, or in other words, you can't be sure whether a betrayal occurred, right teacher? Even so, you plan to read all the memories? "

"Did my act of directly reading the memory make you feel uncomfortable?" Beatrice asked.

"Yes, teacher." Xia Zuo nodded.

Xia Zuo thought of a lot at this time.

If the act of reading memory is classified as a means of collecting evidence.

In the eyes of modern people, this method will involve infringement of privacy and human rights. However, it is obvious that under the rule of the Temple, although the so-called concepts of privacy and human rights also exist, they are not important. Only loyalty is supreme.

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.

If a mage affiliated with the temple does not accept memory reading, then his loyalty to the temple becomes a question worth considering, which will often lead to more investigation and questioning.

In contrast, letting the head of the hospital whom you respect to read the memory has become a good choice to prove your innocence and avoid trouble.

Assuming that Xia Zuo is a member of this mage team, after something happens that points to a crime of collaboration with the enemy, actively accepting memory reading may become the first choice.

This is true for Xia Zuo as a person who has received modern education, let alone those academic mages who have grown up in the kingdom and been instilled with the concept of academic supremacy.

They may be dissatisfied with the reading of memories, but rather than being suspected of being traitors, it is better to actively accept the reading of memories.

Beatrice had faced such scenes many times and knew very clearly how Xia Zuoxin felt. If it were her, she would also be resistant to reading memories.

Beatrice sighed softly and said:

"Xia Zuo, from the time you entered Starry Night Academy, to the Eastern Continent for further studies, and then back to Starry Night Academy, you have never made a mistake, nor have you directly faced the Tribunal. So you don't know how powerful the Tribunal is when investigating cases. Cruel and cold-blooded.
