At a location near the coast of Angaria that was north of the Alliance, Daneel was standing in the air while looking with an extremely confused expression at a building that had clearly been erected quite recently.
There were almost no formations, and especially those that could have come from Big Four which he expected would be protecting this place were not present. If he had simply scanned the entire continent, which he might have resorted to if he hadn't seen any other option, he was have spotted this place anyway.
That was one of the reasons why he was so puzzled. From this building, he could feel the signs of powerful formations being deployed which were needed if one wished to cut Ether blocks.
Also, from the back, where there seemed to be some kind of warehouse, men were carrying out boxes that jingled almost exactly like the pouches that Daneel had just seen on his own mages to a spot where they were repeatedly being teleported away.
