After looking around, Leo Ray noticed.
At this moment, what appeared before him was not a giant castle or similar underground ruins as he had imagined.
Instead, there was nothing but a rough and cracked stone wall.
With a puzzled look, Giant Axe General Burt walked over and gently tapped the wall, listening carefully to the sound it made. He then reported to Ariel Watson, “Princess, the wall is solid behind. Apart from soil, there is nothing else.”
“What’s going on?”
Hearing this, Ariel, who had been full of expectation, frowned in confusion and looked at Holy Light General Joshua beside her doubtfully.
After pondering for a moment, Joshua could only helplessly shake his head.
It’s worth mentioning that not long ago, after Leo Ray signaled Taylor to save Joshua once, the young Kingdom’s female general, who was about thirty years old and had a beautiful face, seemed to have slightly less hostility and caution in her eyes towards Leo Ray.
“Lord, there really is nothing here.”
Stepping forward, Gideon Black, dressed in a black priest’s robe, bowed gracefully.
“Lord, have we found the wrong place?”
Scarlett approached with small steps and asked.
“Impossible, even if we’ve found the wrong place, those Goblin strongmen who were willing to attack the city with their army to attract Dragon’s Lair’s attention wouldn’t have come here just to visit and explore, right?”
After a brief hesitation, Leo Ray continued, “It seems that just like those Metallic Flame Giant Lions that suddenly appeared earlier, there must be some magic or physical mechanisms we haven’t triggered.”
“You make sense.”
Hearing this, Ariel’s furrowed brows relaxed, and she nodded thoughtfully, “There must be some mystery here.”
Soon after, a crisp chant of spells followed.
Ariel closed her eyes, and her white metal magic staff conjured three golden hexagram magic circles, spinning continuously.
As the chanting became more intense, the three golden magic circles spun faster and faster, and the golden patterns on them became clearer.
“Radiant Holy Mark!”
Finally, with Ariel’s soft shout, the three magic circles surrounding the magic staff suddenly expanded and changed shape.
The next second, with Ariel’s feet as the center, an array of winding or straight lines of light quickly expanded across the ground, looking like the patterns on a circuit board or even cracked earth.
Moreover, these magical patterns could not only extend on the ground but also spread on the walls, appearing quite miraculous.
“Lord, it seems this is a detection type of magic.”
Looking at the golden magic patterns on the wall, Scarlett whispered into Leo Ray’s ear, “However, it seems to only work on fixed objects and is an analytical detection magic.”
“I see.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
As he learned more about this world, Leo Ray understood clearly.
In this world, detection magic could generally be divided into two types.
The first type was analytical detection magic.
It was mainly used to find underground treasures, hidden mechanisms, or secret chambers, etc., and almost only worked on stationary objects. The effect on moving objects was very weak.
Obviously, Ariel was using this type.
The second type was perception-based detection magic.
On the contrary, this type of spell focused more on dynamic objects, such as invisible opponents or stealthy ones.Just as Leo Ray was pondering in secret.
Ariel Watson on one side had already expanded the light trace on the ground to the walls, and it was about to extend to the ceiling of the underground square.
After a short moment, Ariel, who was closing her eyes in concentration, suddenly opened her star eyes, raised her head slightly, and her sharp gaze pointed directly at a location where a wall met the ceiling.
Following her gaze, Leo Ray noticed.
That part of the wall was not covered by a large amount of light lines.
Or rather, once the light lines touched that area, they automatically changed direction, ultimately forming an island-like conspicuous region.
“Seems like the secret is right there.”
Noticing this, Leo Ray immediately became enlightened and nodded slightly.
Then, the pale golden magical wings emerged, and Ariel directly flew up and began to approach that special area.
Just as she was about to get closer, it seemed as if she was affected by some sort of sensation.
Suddenly, on that special area, a golden lion pattern roared, which was the symbolic emblem of the Coldflame Royal Family.
The next second, the gold lion and red bottom shield emblem suddenly shone brightly.
Immediately afterward, as Ariel deactivated the detection magic,
A massive light gray magic array that kept spinning began to slowly emerge on the wall.
“Is this a teleportation array?”
Feeling the bizarre energy fluctuation constantly coming from the array, Leo Ray nodded slightly. He had only encountered such sensation when using teleportation crystals.
“So that’s how it is.”
Ariel, who had landed back on the ground, revealed an enlightened expression and muttered to herself, “If my guess is correct, the resting place of our ancestor isn’t here; this is just the entrance to the resting place!”
“Your Highness, hold on. After all, the origin of this teleportation array is unknown. Let me try it first. ”
Watching Ariel, eager to try and ready to step forward, the white-haired Burt slightly bowed and walked to the light gray magic array that appeared on the wall first.
However, when he tentatively touched the array with his finger,
An invisible force emerged from the spinning magic array and directly pushed him away, obviously resisting his touch.
Then, Joshua went forward and attempted the same, but was also rejected by the array.
“It seems that only those who have Coldflame Royal Family blood and are descended from the Hero King can successfully enter the array!”
Upon seeing this, Ariel eagerly stepped forward and walked straight toward the magic array.
Bang!
However, accompanied by a dull sound,
Her smooth, fair forehead was left with a conspicuous red mark, clearly unsuccessful.
“How could this be?”
As she covered her aching forehead, Ariel’s face was filled with confusion.
Curling his lips slightly, Leo Ray, who was positioned at the back of the team, took a small step forward, intending to examine the array more closely.
Without saying more, he naturally wouldn’t dare try the mysterious teleportation magic array casually.
“Tsk, even I, who possess the blood of the Royal Family, couldn’t enter. You shouldn’t bother meddling…”
However, before Ariel could finish speaking,
The next second, under everyone’s astonished gaze-
The light gray magic array suddenly shone brightly, and even without approaching, it directly sucked in Leo Ray alone in an instant.
