As Elanev hadn't been able to deduce exactly whether there was anyone watching him on the Palace Grounds, Daneel and Faxul had decided to use this ruse so that there wouldn't be much suspicion when the two walked into the forest.
"So much confidence? I'm confident that you can't stand a single punch from me anyway, but I like the idea of fighting in the forest. Hey, maybe the foliage will even cushion your fall when you go flying! Let's go."
Speaking in the same prideful manner as Elanev, Daneel led the way.
For caution's sake, they had chosen to go to the forest adjoining the one which the strange man had gone into.
After entering the forest, the duo went deeper and deeper until Daneel checked with the Surveillance Tool that there was no one watching them.
Back in the sparring ground, the system had alerted him that at least 1 individual had his/her eyes on them, but Daneel had no way of knowing whether it was someone actually keeping a watch or someone who was idly watching, like Elanev had been when he saw the strange man.
The forest seemed to stretch on endlessly, with visibility so low that the two couldn't even see 20 feet in front of them. Thick foliage and aged trees were all around them, making Daneel feel thankful that neither of them was claustrophobic.
Taking a sharp right, they headed to the place they had e to check out.
Yet, only after a half hour, the duo had to stop again at Daneel's signal.
This was because the system had just sent the message that there was a hidden formation in front of him, which would send an alert when someone crossed it.
Of course, Daneel had asked the system to scan everything around them using the 'Hidden Object Identification-1' tool. Hence, he had avoided blindly stumbling into this formation which was clearly there to keep outsiders out.
"System, how do we circumvent it?
