Chapter 362 The White Tower 2
Moreover, the place was filled with glittering Light Crystal Stones, which had lasted through the long passage of time.
Although the radiance emitted by these Light Crystal Stones had greatly diminished, they still provided a good lighting effect.
Immediately following, Leo Ray waved his hand casually.
10 Earth Guardians wielding heavy swords and shields appeared out of thin air.
Accompanied by a series of heavy footsteps, they began to guard the entrances of the first floor and various key points in the lobby area.
At the moment, given that everything was still not clear, it was naturally better to be cautious.
"My Lord, there are not only stairs leading to the upper level but also passages leading underground," Gideon Black's slightly surprised voice came into Leo Ray's ear.
"Understood. In that case, let's go downstairs first." Hearing this, Leo Ray gave a slight ponder and then nodded to his subordinates around him.
"Yes, My Lord!" Upon hearing this, the subordinates bowed their fists together and respectfully responded.
Following along the not-so-steep white marble steps downward,
it didn't take long for Leo Ray and his party to arrive at a mottled metal door guarded by more than a dozen tall Winged Race statues.
"I didn't expect the penetration power of the Petrification Magic to be so strong."
Seeing this scene, Gideon Black, who was next to him, pushed up his Gold-rimmed Glasses and couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems that
the entire Winged Race in this area may have been petrified at the same time."
"It has to be said that such powerful Petrification Magic is unheard of."
Orion Wolfe, who was beside him, subconsciously stroked his messy hair, then chimed in.
"That's right, we can imagine that at that time, the Winged Race within this Barrier Area must have encountered a very powerful and mysterious enemy."
On the other side, Scarlett took a deep breath and continued solemnly, "You have to know, just like Uncle Priest said,
the backlash effect of Petrification Magic on the caster is extremely strong."
"Therefore, we must do our best to enhance our abilities as soon as possible. The great catastrophe that may happen at any time may already be imminent.
At that time, it's still uncertain whether a terrible disaster will befall the heavens and earth as mentioned in the prophecy."
Upon saying this, Leo Ray changed the subject and continued, "Alright, for now, let's focus on the task at hand."
"Yes, My Lord!" Gideon Black, Scarlett, and Orion Wolfe, the three Magic powerhouses, immediately began to investigate the metal door in front of them.
This giant metal door, with the naked eye, could clearly see
that there was a faintly colorful Magic Flow Light flashing on it, apparently sealed with a magic lock.
Next, after a detailed investigation,
Gideon Black returned to Leo Ray's side, bowed, and reported, "My Lord, this metal door was originally subjected to several powerful Magic Restrictions.
However, they are now all in an extremely unstable state of collapse, and opening it should not be difficult with just a little pressure applied."
"Oh? Why did this happen?" Hearing this, Leo Ray couldn't help but show a puzzled look.
It should be known that Magic Restriction, also known as a perfect magic lock, is not as simple as a lock on a door.
It is a huge Barrier that seals an entire room, or even an entire area, all on its own, and has a complete energy storage and absorption function, which allows it to exist for a long time.
For example, the Immortal Gate of Golin City and the Elf Underground City deep inside that has not yet been opened, etc.
"My Lord, if my guess is correct,
these Winged Race Magic Restrictions are rather special and not self-contained entities."
Instead, they share a common high-power Magic Power Supply point, or a High-power Magic Power Supply Array.And this high-power magic power supply array is already in a damaged state with its magic power nearly exhausted."
On the other side, Gideon Black pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and began to explain, "The advantage of the Winged Race doing this is that it can strengthen the solidity of the magic restriction.
Compared to the common energy supply magic array that can maintain only one magic restriction.
This high-power magic array, although its magic power output is extremely powerful and has a self-circulating mechanism.
However, the weakness is also very obvious.
That is, it requires frequent maintenance, and after three thousand years of neglect, this magic restriction has finally fallen into a damaged state on the verge of collapse."
"I see, so this magic restriction is to strengthen solidity at the expense of duration, right?"
Thoughtfully nodding, Leo Ray muttered, "I suppose the Winged Race here never thought that one day they would be petrified by an unknown enemy all at once, did they?"
Then, Leo Ray refocused and said, "Alright, let's open this metal door."
"As you command, my Lord." Hearing this, Gideon Black returned to the heavy metal door, slowly placing his shimmering dark golden palms on the surface of the door.
A moment later, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass.
The magic flow light on the surface of the giant metal door began to fade rapidly, visible to the naked eye, until it disappeared completely.
Next second, with a slightly harsh "creaking" sound, the metal door opened in response.
And so, surrounded by his subordinates, Leo Ray stood at the entrance of the metal door looking inwards.
A look of surprise crossed Leo Ray's face.
In this vast underground space, where the end could not be seen, there were hundreds of large and small magic arrays of various colors flickering.
These magic arrays were of different shapes, including the most common hexagram, circle, ellipse, triangle, and even irregular polygon patterns, and so on.
Moreover, some magic arrays were attached to the walls and ground, some floating in the air, some spinning quickly, some moving slowly, and some simply standing still.
At a glance, the dazzling colors were like a giant, operating precision machine, leaving one amazed and overwhelmed.
In addition, it could be clearly seen that among these magic arrays, many of them had dim or flickering light, looking as if they were about to stop operating.
At the same time, an extremely strong energy fluctuation rushed towards them from the metal door, filling the air with an ancient and old taste.
"My Lord, it seems that this is the focal point of the barrier area!"
On the other side, Scarlett's eyes lit up in surprise, and she couldn't help but blurt out.
Hearing this, Gideon Black and Orion Wolfe, the two magic powerhouses of their own side, were astonished and nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, then this place is entrusted to Gideon Black and Scarlett. Restore these magic arrays to normal as soon as possible."
After a while, Leo Ray, who had recovered from his surprise, instructed, "I will leave six Earth Guardians here to protect you.
We will be there at the first sign of any unexpected situation."
Undoubtedly, although they couldn't communicate with their subordinates through mind talk in this barrier area.
However, if the Earth Guardians were attacked, Leo Ray could still detect it in real-time.
"Understood, my Lord!" On the other side, Gideon Black and Scarlett bowed their fists and responded in unison.
"Alright, let's go with the rest of us. Let's take this opportunity to continue searching this white tower for any other gains."
After nodding to the two of them and placing six Earth Guardians at the door, Leo Ray left the underground space with Taylor, Orion Wolfe, and the others.
After that, they went up along the staircase.
On the second floor of the White Tower, Leo Ray's party quickly found an area similar to a storage room.
In this area, many fully armed winged warrior stone statues guarded the entrances of the rooms, making it appear extremely secure.
"I didn't expect to find something this good here!"
So, after some investigation, when Leo Ray saw the sparkling, multicolored objects in a small warehouse, he couldn't help but show a look of excitement.
