"System, what level of a scanning technique should be used to evade your detection?"
[Champion Level technique. Any scanning technique up to the peak Warrior Level can be detected by the system.]
Daneel had known this fact, but he had still decided to ask the system for confirmation.
This meant one of two things, both of which did not bode well for him at all.
One, there was a Champion observing him right now.
Two, there was someone like him, who was capable of using techniques above their own level, spying on him right now.
The only consolation was that Daneel felt no sense of danger.
The fact that he was detecting something which the system couldn't, could only be attributed to one thing: the breakthrough he had had before.
This raised the value of this new level in his mind further, as it basically meant that he had somehow gotten a level of awareness that was parable to a Champion.
Regardless, the issue right now was that he had to decide what to do.
One thing was weird about the scanning: the feeling of being seen never stayed, ing and leaving in waves as if he were an ant hidden in tall grass with someone above trying to spot him by looking in his area again and again.
As a formation which was one of the strongest in Central Angaria, the Dragon-Heart formation had certain anti-surveillance capabilities which stopped others from peeking into the Palace easily.
Hence, Daneel became hopeful that the formation was actually doing its part, but the one scanning was adamantly trying to remove the veil and peek through.
First, Daneel proceeded to move to his chamber, as there were too many things in the Energized Training Chamber which couldn't be seen by anyone else.
Then, after thinking for a while, he finally got an idea to locate whoever it was that was spying on him.
"System, using the Anti-Surveillance Tool, scan the area around me for locations from which you receive no surveillance data."
The anti-surveillance tool of the system worked in such a way that the system scanned the area using its capabilities.
If he was right, whoever was scanning him had definitely also hidden themselves with a technique at least at that level, if not stronger.
After all, if he were the one doing the surveilling, he would always prioritize hiding himself over the level of scanning technique used.
[Scanning using parameters given. 1 null spot found east of host.]
Grinning briefly seeing that his guess had been correct, he contacted Kellor using the oathstone.
"Kellor, do what I say without asking any questions, I'll explain later."
.....
Meanwhile, at the location that had just been 'detected' by Daneel's system.
This was actually a small private forest in one of the mansions which were adjacent to the Royal Palace, owned by one of the ministers who was still in service in the government.
Although all of the mansions were protected by expensive formations which would require the power of at least an amateur Warrior to be breached, it seemed that they hadn't given any difficulty to this duo.
"Any luck, Sister?
