Just like that, after leaving the reception room, Leo Ray and his group proceeded along the luxurious corridor covered in red carpet.
Not long after, they encountered a room that was currently in a closed state.
At first glance, the entrance of this room was equipped with a thick double metal door.
Two large green plants were placed on the left and right sides, exuding a fresh and natural botanical scent.
Above the door, the characters “oriole hall” were written in a lively and graceful manner.
Moreover, above the metal door, colorful streamers flashed, indicating that an extraordinary magic restriction was arranged.
“My Lord, this exhibition hall is solely managed by our side members, and will only be opened when receiving VIP guests of the Trading Conference. Please enjoy your visit, my Lord,” said Kelsey as she performed a respectful bow and pulled out a fist-sized, cylindrical, milky-white crystal stone.
She then squatted down and gently pressed the crystal stone to the lower left corner of the door.
In an instant, circles of magical ripples emanated from the lower left corner of the door, shimmering brilliantly.
Crack.
Accompanied by an ethereal unlocking sound, the door opened in response.
“So that’s how it works. The crystal stone is the ‘key’ to opening the magical restriction, and it has to touch a specific spot on the door for it to open?”
Looking at the unusual scene before him, Leo Ray stroked his chin, revealing a contemplative expression as he murmured, “It seems, even if one acquires the crystal stone, the door won’t open if it’s placed in the wrong position, right?”
“Yes, my Lord, that is correct,” Kelsey replied while making a welcoming gesture. She then went on to explain, “This magic restriction possesses a comprehensive alarm and automatic defense system.
If someone tries to intrude, it will trigger a chain reaction that not only activates the surrounding magic traps but also instantly alerts the nearby guards to provide assistance.”
“I see.” Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully and stepped inside the exhibition hall under Kelsey’s guidance.
This underground Trading Conference showroom was incredibly luxurious.
Whether it was the exquisite golden relief sculptures on the walls, the smooth and bright marble floors, or the dazzling light crystal stone and amber chandelier hanging from the ceiling, it all exuded an elegant and noble atmosphere.
In the open room covering nearly a hundred square meters, transparent display cabinets were sporadically placed throughout.
Exquisite works of art were displayed inside, and realistic paintings depicting battlefields, knights, fortresses, and flags were hung on the walls.
So, it seemed more fitting to call this place a high-end art gallery rather than just a showroom for selling goods.
“I didn’t expect that I would have exclusive access to such a luxurious venue one day,” said Leo Ray while looking at the surrounding opulent scenery and walking into the hall.
“My Lord, please follow me this way,” Kelsey said as she nodded and closed the door again.
With Kelsey’s proficient guidance, Leo Ray and the others slowly proceeded while looking around at the exquisite artworks.
They eventually arrived at a transparent vertical display cabinet.
This cabinet was divided into two levels. Leo Ray was very familiar with the items at the bottom — the Illusion Cloaks they were currently wearing – five in total.
The top level, however, contained five identical rings.
Upon close inspection, these rings were made from a bright silver material with a frosted effect. Their surface was engraved with unusual patterns, and their simple yet elegant design made them look quite refined.
“My Lord, these are five Concealment Rings, originating from the nearby Saint Night Kingdom. They are attached with an extremely remarkable special concealment technique that can be activated as long as a little energy is infused into them,” Kelsey explained.With a smile at Leo Ray, Kelsey began to introduce: “After activation, it will be hard for anyone below Tier 1+ to identify the wearer’s true strength or locate them through their aura.”
Of course, if the wearer himself is a Tier 1+ powerhouse, it will also have an effect on opponents who are several stars above their level.”
At this point, Kelsey extended her slender hand, opened the display cabinet and continued to introduce Leo Ray: “Originally, these rings were prepared by my father for the traps at tonight’s auction.”
However, because the Lord of Viennas City found a mercenary powerhouse who can cast a Tier 4 group stealth spell, they were stored here instead.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray casually picked up a shiny ring and opened its attribute column. [Name: Concealment Ring]
[Grade: Tier 3•Excellent (Blue)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional Effect: Tier 3 Stealth ‘Can hide the wearer’s aura and energy fluctuations, has a miraculous effect on Tier 3 and below powerhouses’]
[Remark: This concealment ring is personally enchanted by a stealth master from Saint Night Kingdom. Wear it and blend into the darkness, becoming the brightest child of the dark world.]
“Not bad, this ring not only allows powerhouses below Tier 3 to see through the wearer’s true strength but also has a stealth effect. Whether it’s paired with Illusion Cloaks or Invisibility Cloaks, it will add a finishing touch!”
With a satisfied nod, Leo Ray continued to ponder, “Imagine if our Tier 2 Elite Squadron were to be fully equipped with Illusion Cloaks and Concealment Rings, as long as there are no Tier 4 or above powerhouses nearby.
They could march into enemy cities without anyone noticing!”
Thinking this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but show a hint of joy on his face while feeling the ring’s matte surface.
“My Lord, please accept these five Concealment Rings and five Illusion Cloaks as a token of my appreciation!”
On the other side, seeing Leo Ray’s satisfied expression, Kelsey hurriedly spoke with a joyful look on her pale face.
“I won’t be polite then.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray waved his hand and collected all the items in the display cabinet.
Without hesitation, he began to upgrade.
In the end, he obtained 200 Illusion Cloaks, 3 Invisibility Cloaks, 300 Concealment Rings, and 2 Vanishing Rings.
“Vanishing Ring?”
Hearing the upgrade prompt, Leo Ray immediately opened the new ring’s attribute column. [Name: Vanishing Ring] [Grade: Tier 4.Epic (Purple)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional Effect: Tier 4 Stealth ‘Can hide the wearer’s aura and energy fluctuations, has a miraculous effect on Tier 4 and below powerhouses’]
[Remark: This Vanishing Ring is enchanted by the Dark Elf race, famous for their stealth abilities. Wear it, and the night will merge with you, making everywhere you go darkness itself!]
“Good thing, has the stealth level increased? If we equip Serena and Stella with this, coupled with their own assassin stealth skills and Invisibility Cloaks with some stealth effects.
With the triple effect, let alone Tier 4 powerhouses, even monitoring a Tier 5 powerhouse at a certain distance would hardly be detected. Let Taylor test the effect later.”
Delighted, Leo Ray nodded satisfactorily.
With the new Vanishing Rings and Invisibility Cloaks, their chances of monitoring Clyde Thompson and his son, as well as actions at the final auction tonight, are undoubtedly greater!
