Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2964 1620: Questions and Doubts (Part 2)

Beyond the stone wall, the secret chamber was a small room of only a dozen square meters, looking empty without any furnishings, just an extremely dim magic array on the floor, slowly rotating and emitting faint red, yellow, and blue lights.

From the dimness of the light, it was easy to see that the magic array had been fully deciphered, like an unlocked shackle, with only the last step of removing it remaining.

“It really is the triple magic prohibition of the Light Elves! This technique is said to be one that only the core royal family members of the Light Elves can dismantle.”

Moli’s eyes widened in astonishment as she blurted out.

Having said that, Moli glanced at Xue Li, who stood respectfully beside Leo Ray, with an expression of amazement.

One must admit, there are truly dragons and tigers hidden around this guy; to be able to open such a special ancient magic array, something even the Forest Elves couldn’t achieve.

“Alright, let’s head over now.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly and took the first step forward.

Upon reaching the entrance of the secret chamber, Leo Ray nodded at Xue Li again.

Next, it was naturally the time to completely remove this shackle.

“As you command, Your Majesty.”

Xue Li understood, and with a wave of her magic wand, melodious chanting filled the air.

Not long after, accompanied by a crisp “crack” resounding within the secret chamber, the already dim triple magic prohibition completely collapsed, dissolving into countless energy particles and swiftly dissipating.

As the sound echoed, Leo Ray’s Rolanddel appeared before them, with other strongmen poised in readiness.

The last time Xue Li had used a deciphering formation here, quite a few golem puppets had appeared, so Leo Ray was certainly not taking any chances this time.

However, even after the formation completely vanished, nothing stirred around them, leaving the chamber seemingly empty and vacant.

“Hmm? It doesn’t seem like there’s any sign of a summoning array appearing.”

Moli, gripping her magic wand in a ready stance, expressed her confusion, “To be more precise, there’s no other sign at all. What exactly was the triple restriction array guarding?”

“It’s indeed peculiar. Logically, once the ‘lock’ is opened, the ‘gate’ or whatever lies beyond it should reveal itself.”

Xue Li furrowed her brows slightly, appearing utterly perplexed.

“Could it be that the subsequent magic array to reveal the ‘gate’ has failed due to its age?”

Fei’er pondered briefly, seemingly in thought.

“That’s a possibility. Regardless, we can’t leave here empty-handed.”

Leo Ray nodded at the strongmen, instructing, “Go in and explore; Taylor and the others will stay here on guard.”

Hearing Leo Ray’s command, the demigod powerhouses cautiously approached the secret chamber, while Taylor and the newly promoted subordinates kept watch outside the door.

Although these former main force subordinates longed to follow closely beside Leo Ray, their current strength was limited, so they could only protect the rear for him.

Nevertheless, since they all had received enough star promotion potions, they privately vowed to quickly return by Leo Ray’s side and never be a burden to him.

Upon crossing the threshold of the secret chamber, Leo Ray surveyed his surroundings.

Though the room was only a dozen square meters, it already felt cramped upon entering with the crowd of half-step Seventh Stage strongmen, even with the half-giants all in human form.

Originally, when the triple magic prohibition was operating normally, the place seemed extremely mysterious, but once the magic array was dispelled, it seemed to already be no different from an ordinary room.

After a period of careful sensing and investigation, the strongmen all furrowed their brows tightly.

There were no energy fluctuations or traces of magic arrays not yet activated, only a layer of thick dust, with no special characteristics, not even a crack on the polished smooth walls, resembling a regular ruin room.

“Could it be that before this place was completed, it encountered the Era of Blankness?”

Hollis gently stroked his chin, pondering, “Could it be that there was actually nothing here in the first place?”

“Unlikely, with the Elf Tribe’s rigor, everything would have been prepared, then the triple magic prohibition would be deployed.”

Fei’er shook her head slightly, denying, “There must be some clue here, either as Xue Li said, or due to some other reason, the original ‘gate’ is hidden.”

“Sister Fei’er is right. You wouldn’t lock something without preparing the ‘gate’ or its contents first, right? It doesn’t make sense.”

Moli’s response was swift this time, affirming, “We must have overlooked something.”

Upon hearing Fei’er and Moli’s words, Hollis became reinvigorated, starting to meticulously investigate again.

But the area of the room was extremely limited; even in human form, it was easy to see the end with a single glance, except for the unreachable ceiling.

Thinking this, Hollis instinctively looked up, gazing towards the ceiling of the secret chamber, and suddenly froze, promptly exclaiming to Leo Ray, “Lord, look at this!”

Following Hollis’s line of sight, Leo Ray looked up as well, but he didn’t notice anything unusual, while Hollis clearly appeared to have made a new discovery, still pointing at the top corner of the wall.

“Could it be that something is only visible from a specific angle?”

With this thought in mind, Leo Ray quickly moved to stand beside Hollis and looked up again.

This time, in the direction Hollis pointed out, Leo Ray indeed saw a triangular transparent contour, adorned with intricate patterns, much like part of a giant gate.

This section was located beneath the ceiling, floating on the wall before them, and it would be easily overlooked if not keenly observed.

“This resembles the uppermost part of the giant gate, but why is only a part revealed?”

After a moment of contemplation, Leo Ray quickly realized.

Currently, he and Hollis were standing directly opposite it, revealing a part of the transparent contour.

Could this mean that if others stood around us, looking at the surrounding area of the transparent contour, the entire gate would manifest?

With this hypothesis, Leo Ray did not hesitate and immediately gathered everyone in the room, particularly positioning the petite and delicate Moli and Fei’er at the front of the group.

Sure enough, when everyone looked towards the opposite side together, a complete gate silhouette appeared upon the previously blank wall.

In the exact moment the entire gate silhouette unveiled, an ancient wooden door emerged before everyone, accompanied by a dazzling flash of golden light.

“So this is the ‘gate’ hidden in the chamber!”

Seeing this scene, everyone appeared astonished.

“Curiously, I’ve never seen this pattern on the door; it doesn’t seem to come from the Light Elf Tribe.”

After a thorough examination, Moli couldn’t help blurting out.

As a Forest Language Singer among the Forest Elves, she hadn’t had much contact with the Light Elves, yet learned plenty about the distant kin through various documents.

“Indeed, the relief patterns we’ve seen along the way were very different from those on the door.”

Fei’er had also noticed this immediately and concurred, “This door doesn’t seem to be of Ancient Light Elf craftsmanship.”

“What? If not from the Ancient Light Elves, then why does this door appear behind the triple magic prohibition?”

Hollis’s steadfast face showed even more confusion, expressing full puzzlement.

“Something is truly odd here.”

Recalling the Dark Elf statue standing in another area during previous explorations, Leo Ray addressed everyone, “Regardless, since a new path has appeared, let’s venture in and unravel the mystery.”
