“Something’s not quite right?”
Confused, Leo Ray turned around and started scrutinizing the massive stone platform in front of him.
Since he had collected all of the Demon Energy Luminous Crystals placed on it into his Space Bracelet, there was nothing else to be found other than the slightly coarse surface and patterns on the platform.
“My Lord, to be more precise, the strangeness seems to be coming from underneath the blue stone platform.”
On the other side, with Leo Ray’s permission, Gideon Black stepped forward and effortlessly lifted the massive stone platform, easily moving it to one side.
This scene left Solomon Rue and Sylvia Moore standing nearby with their mouths agape.
At this moment, Gideon was wearing an Illusion Cloak, which made him look like an ordinary middle-aged farmer with a slightly hunched back.
The blue stone platform in front of him probably weighed at least a thousand pounds.
Realizing the huge difference in strength, the brother and sister pair couldn’t help but exchange glances with each other.
Good heavens, what kind of monsters are all these subordinates that belong to Lord Christopher?
Anyway, after Gideon moved the blue stone platform aside, a mysterious energy wave rippled out, stirring up some dust on the ground.
As the dust gradually settled, a colorful Hexagram Array spinning non-stop appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“There’s actually a magic prohibition array in a place like this…”
Surprised by the sudden appearance, Scarlett rubbed her eyes.
Then, realizing what was going on, she said: “I see, at the beginning, due to the Magical Resonance between the Demon Energy Luminous Crystals and this array, the actual Magic Restriction didn’t appear.”
“Exactly. After my Lord took away the Demon Energy Luminous Crystals, the magic prohibition array, which lost its resonance, revealed its nature.”
On the other hand, Gideon elegantly brushed the dust off his hands while adding his insight.
However, the combination of a middle-aged farmer’s appearance and gentlemanly actions made him seem quite peculiar, causing the ordinary farmers standing behind him to step back a little.
“Magic restrictions, huh?”
Leo Ray rested his chin on his right hand, propping his elbow with his left, showing a contemplative expression.
At first, he thought those rare Demon Energy Luminous Crystals were the so-called treasure.
However, given the situation now, it seemed that the real treasure was still hidden deeper within this mine.
“My Lord, Magic Restrictions are like a perfect magical lock. There must be something more below.”
On the other side, Gideon whispered to Leo Ray.
Confirming his suspicion, Leo Ray pondered a bit before asking: “Gideon, can you sense anything below the Magic Restrictions?”
“My Lord, unless the Magic Restriction is unlocked, I cannot sense anything.”
Gideon’s elegant and magnetic voice replied: “But I can be certain that this
Magic Restriction is only the first lock.”
“You mean there are other Magic Restrictions behind it?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray’s eyebrows rose, revealing an interested expression.
Undoubtedly, treasures protected by multiple Magic Restrictions would not be ordinary.
Realizing this, Leo Ray, eager with anticipation, couldn’t help but glance at Solomon Rue, who was peering over from not far away.
It seemed that this guy’s treasure hunting talent was even more amazing than he had initially thought.
With this in mind, Leo Ray steeled himself, gesturing to Taylor and the others hiding in the shadows to prepare for any unexpected situation, while commanding Gideon: “Open it.”
“As you wish, My Lord.”
After respectfully bowing to Leo Ray, Gideon walked over to the Hexagram Array.
The next second, he stretched out his hand, and a pure black energy leaped out of thin air.
Then, Gideon flicked his fingertip, and the pure black energy began to engulf the Magic Restriction.
As the two merged, the brilliance of the Hexagram Array quickly dimmed.
Before long, a series of crisp sounds like broken chains began to echo, and each time the sound rang out, the colorful light of the Array dimmed a bit more, until it eventually lost its luster and slowly dissipated into the air.
At the same time, a powerful energy wave rippled out, like a gust of gale-force wind, causing everyone’s faces to sting from the impact.
Boom, boom, boom…Accompanied by the sound of the metal sluice gate opening and the dust dissipating,
a new mine tunnel, leading downward, had appeared out of thin air where the magic array originally stood.
“Interesting.”
Upon seeing this, Leo Ray first nodded slightly towards Taylor and the others hidden in the shadows.
Then, he turned around and said to the siblings Solomon and Sylvia, “Alright, let’s continue moving.”
On the other hand, the two of them nodded hurriedly, both of them grasping the Tier 3 short sword that Leo Ray had just given them, and cautiously followed along with their subordinates.
As such, upon entering this newly emerged mine tunnel, an ancient atmosphere that had been sealed away for a long time immediately rushed towards them.
Sniffing slightly, and with the night vision effect of the Star Pupil, Leo Ray ouserveu.
From the surrounding environment, the structure of this new mine tunnel was clearly different from before.
Even the width of the tracks under their feet and the style of the damaged mine carts were vastly different, evidently done by different groups of miners.
However, the only similarity between the two was that they had undoubtedly been abandoned for a long time.
“My Lord, there is something strange at the end of the mine tunnel, you should come and take a look.”
Not long after they started walking, Taylor’s rugged and slightly surprised voice came through mind talk.
“I’ll be right there.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded to Gideon Black and Scarlett beside him and immediately sped up his pace.
About fifteen or sixteen minutes later, Leo Ray’s vision suddenly opened up. At this point, he found himself standing in an incredibly vast underground space.
Looking around, it was about the height of a ten-story building and had an area of at least two hundred square meters, just like the atrium of a large mall.
What was even more astonishing was that at the end of this underground space, there stood a gigantic metal door, which was at least the height of a three-story building.
“Good grief, is this the anomaly Taylor was talking about?”
The astounding sight left Leo Ray momentarily shocked.
After a long pause, he began walking towards the gigantic door under the protection of Gideon Black and Scarlett.
As he approached, Leo Ray noticed that the gigantic door was also covered in some kind of magical prohibition.
Although it was invisible to the naked eye, the closer he got, the more he could feel an extremely intense energy fluctuation.
“My Lord, there is a Tier 5 magical prohibition on this door!”
At this moment, Gideon Black’s voice, filled with disbelief, came through.
On the other side, Scarlett’s mouth was slightly agape, and her face was filled with an irrepressible surprised expression.
As for Solomon and Sylvia, and the others at the back, they were already in a bewildered state while panting for breath. “What do you think? Can the two of you open this prohibition together?”
Leo Ray inquired immediately, nodding slightly.
Without a doubt, the real treasure was behind this door.
However, what Leo Ray was even more curious about was what kind of object was hidden within this massive door and why it was built here in the first place.
“I’m sorry, my Lord. Unless there’s a Tier 5 magic system powerhouse here, the two of us can’t do anything about it.”
With a light sigh, Gideon Black helplessly shook his head, and Scarlett hurriedly chimed in.
“I understand. It seems we can’t open this door for now.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but show a hint of disappointment.
However, he soon recovered and said, “Forget it. We’ll come back when we have a Tier 5 magic system colleague.
I believe it won’t be long before the veil behind this door is completely lifted by us.”
Just as Leo Ray was softly saying these words,
Taylor’s rugged voice sounded again, “My Lord, there are three unfamiliar auras outside, rushing towards us at an extremely fast speed..”
