As Leo Ray’s vision cleared once more,
he found himself and his powerful allies standing at the center of a lush, green island.
The size of the island was small, with an area of only two or three hundred square meters.
Upon closer inspection, the island was covered with knee-high weeds, with no other objects in sight.
The island was surrounded by a dense fog, making it impossible to see beyond its borders.
Even the sunlight that penetrated through the fog lent the entire scene a sense of mystery, reminiscent of a hidden paradise.
Without hesitation, Leo Ray proceeded to try to reconnect with Orion Wolfe and Amelia using mind talk, only to find he still could not establish a connection.
With a slight frown, he tried to contact Belinda Wright, who was in his territory, but once again received a notification that the connection could not be established.
After several more attempts, even Taylor and the others around him could not be reached.
“It’s safe to say now,” with a helpless smile, Leo Ray thought, “that there must be a strong interference mechanism in this barrier area. It seems that unless I find Orion and Amelia in person, I won’t be able to communicate with them using mind talk.”
On the other hand, Kara, the last one to enter and the battalion commander of the Mystara City Defense Army, was surprised, “Where is this place? The island where the City Lord Mansion is located is at least ten times larger than this area.”
“Don’t worry, it’s the automatic correction mechanism of this barrier area that has relocated the City Lord Mansion and its island to another part of the barrier. According to ancient records, this location should be near the central area of the barrier!”
Scarlett blinked her signature big eyes, nodded at Kara, and replied, “And this is the original entrance area of this ancient barrier.”
“That’s correct.” Gideon Black, taking in the unique scenery around him, agreed after a moment of perception, “I must say, this barrier area is indeed quite special.”
“Alright, let’s not waste any more time. Everyone, start investigating.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray gestured for everyone to split up and investigate, then took on a thoughtful expression.
As Gideon had said, this place was indeed very different from the previous Half-Elf Barrier.
Upon reflection, the previous Half-Elf Barrier resembled a miniature forest, almost indistinguishable from the outside world.
This fog shrouded island, however, appeared much more mysterious and unpredictable.
“Wait, could this be an illusion realm?” Thinking back to his previous encounter in the Half-Elf Barrier, Leo Ray looked apprehensive and immediately voiced his concern.
“Please rest assured, my lord.”
On the other hand, Gideon bowed slightly, the golden glasses on his nose bridge reflecting a glint of white light as he respectfully said, “As a dark healer, I have an extremely keen sense of illusory techniques. Even if I can’t see through them, I can detect some traces and will not unknowingly enter an illusion realm.”
“I see.” Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly, his tense expression slightly relaxed, and couldn’t help but look thoughtful.
Gideon’s signature move, Dark Manifestations, was essentially a form of psychic attack, similar in effect to illusion techniques.
As Leo Ray pondered, Gideon added after a moment’s consideration, “By the way, my lord, the Illusion Crystal we discovered earlier has a certain sensing effect on other illusion realms as well.”
From now on, if you’re unsure whether you’ll enter an illusion realm, simply hold the Illusion Crystal in your hand.”At that time, once you really step into the illusion, the Illusion Crystal will automatically emit a red light warning.”
“I see, I didn’t expect the Illusion Crystal to have such a remarkable function.”
With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Leo Ray took a step forward, and under the escort of Taylor and Bianca White, began to look around.
Just as he had walked only a few steps,
From not far away, Scarlett’s surprised voice came over: “Sir, come and take a look!”
“What’s the matter?” Confused, when he approached, Leo Ray noticed.
Scarlett’s location was right at the edge of the island, and the thick fog in front of it had opened up a big hole, with a faint burnt smell.
It seemed that the girl had just shot a fireball at the dense fog.
However, when Leo Ray concentrated his mind and looked into the big hole, he immediately showed a surprised expression.
Outside the dense fog, the fluffy white clouds were almost within reach, and the two suns, one big and one small, were almost on the same horizontal line as the island.
As for the area below the island, instead of being the waters Leo Ray had imagined, it was a continuous range of tiny mountains.
In short, everything was like the scenery seen from an airplane.
“Goodness, are we actually in the sky?” After being stunned for a moment, Leo Ray murmured in disbelief.
“Sir, the scene below should just be a reflection of the Pine Sound Range.
However, what can be confirmed is that we are indeed in mid-air.
Or rather, this is a floating island in the sky!” Following that, Scarlett’s clear voice rang out again.
Upon hearing Scarlett’s words, everyone, including Kara, who had just arrived, couldn’t help but show surprise.
“A floating island? This Barrier is indeed extraordinary.” Gideon Black exclaimed softly and then bowed to Leo Ray: “However, Sir,
If that’s the case, then the race that built this Barrier is quite obvious.”
“Oh?” Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly, indicating Gideon Black to continue.
“Replying to Sir, this race is the Winged Race, which, like the Elf Tribe and Dwarf Clan, is equally renowned!”
On the other side, Gideon Black maintained his elegant bow as he introduced the race to Leo Ray.
“That’s right, the ability to keep the island floating in the sky is indeed a unique and magical technique of the Winged Race.”
Scarlett also nodded and said, “I didn’t expect this place to be the ancient barrier of the Winged Race…
You know, this almost completely isolated race is even more mysterious than the Elf Tribe and Dwarf Clan!”
“The Winged Race?” Hearing this, Leo Ray stroked his chin and revealed a contemplative expression.
He had naturally heard of this race.
It was said that this magical race was born with a pair of pure white wings, much like angels.
Most notably, while the magic powerhouses of other races could condense magic wings only after reaching Tier 3, the Winged Race was the exact opposite.
Only after reaching Tier 3 could they master a mysterious secret technique that allowed them to retract their white wings into their bodies, making them look no different from ordinary humans.
“That’s right, the first offensive spell I learned, Whale Fall Thunder Explosion, came from a Winged Race.
And now, I’m in the ancient Barrier area built by the Winged Race? I have to say, it’s quite a connection with this race.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly and pondered in his heart: “Well, let me see what’s so magical about this Winged Race’s Barrier.”
