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

Past the stone barricade, the hidden chamber presented itself as a confined space, scarcely larger than a dozen square meters. It was devoid of any furniture, save for an exceptionally dim magic array etched onto the floor, which spun slowly, casting faint crimson, amber, and azure luminescence.

The subdued glow emanating from the array clearly indicated that it had been thoroughly deciphered, much like a released restraint, with only the final act of its removal pending.

"It is indeed the triple magic prohibition of the Light Elves! Experts say this method is only accessible to the elite members of the Light Elf royal family for dismantling."

Moli's eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed.

Having voiced her astonishment, Moli cast a sideways glance at Xue Li, who stood composedly by Leo Ray's side, her expression one of profound wonder.

It had to be acknowledged that truly formidable individuals were present within Leo Ray's circle; the ability to unseal such a specialized ancient magic array was something even the Forest Elves could not accomplish.

"Very well, let us proceed now."

Leo Ray offered a subtle smile and initiated the movement forward.

Upon arriving at the threshold of the concealed chamber, Leo Ray once more acknowledged Xue Li with a nod.

The next crucial step was, naturally, the complete dismantling of this barrier.

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Xue Li responded with understanding and, with a flick of her magic wand, began to utter melodic incantations that filled the air.

Shortly thereafter, accompanied by a distinct "crack" that reverberated within the chamber, the already faint triple magic prohibition crumbled entirely, dissolving into myriad energy particles that rapidly vanished.

As the sound faded, Leo Ray's Rolanddel materialized before them, with other formidable figures standing by, prepared for any eventuality.

During Xue Li's previous attempt to decipher a formation in this location, several golem constructs had emerged, prompting Leo Ray to exercise extreme caution this time.

However, even after the complete dissipation of the formation, no movement occurred in their vicinity, leaving the chamber appearing vacant and undisturbed.

"Hmm? There doesn't seem to be any indication of a summoning array appearing."

Moli, her magic wand held firmly in a ready position, voiced her bewilderment. "To be precise, there are no other signs whatsoever. What exactly was this triple restriction array safeguarding?"

"This is indeed quite peculiar. Logically, once the 'lock' is opened, the 'gate' or whatever lies beyond it should manifest."

Xue Li's brow furrowed slightly, her confusion palpable.

"Could it be that the subsequent magic array responsible for revealing the 'gate' failed due to the passage of time?"

Fei'er engaged in brief contemplation, lost in thought.

"That is a conceivable explanation. Regardless, we cannot depart from here without obtaining anything."

Leo Ray nodded towards the assembled strongmen, issuing instructions: "Proceed inside to investigate; Taylor and the others will remain here to maintain guard."

Acknowledging Leo Ray's directive, the demigod-level powerhouses advanced cautiously towards the chamber, while Taylor and his recently promoted subordinates took up positions outside the entrance.

Though these former main force subordinates harbored a strong desire to remain closely by Leo Ray's side, their current capabilities were limited, thus confining them to protecting the rear.

Nevertheless, having each received an ample supply of star promotion potions, they silently resolved to swiftly rejoin Leo Ray and never become a hindrance to him.

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

Despite its limited area of a dozen square meters, the room felt constricted once the crowd of half-step Seventh Stage powerhouses entered, even with all the half-giants having assumed human form.

Initially, while the triple magic prohibition was actively functioning, the space exuded an aura of profound mystery. However, once the magic array was dispelled, it transformed into a space indistinguishable from an ordinary room.

Following a period of meticulous sensing and thorough investigation, the strongmen collectively furrowed their brows.

There were no discernible energy fluctuations or traces of unactivated magic arrays. The only feature present was a thick layer of dust, lacking any unique characteristics. Even the walls, polished to a smooth finish, showed no cracks, resembling a typical ruin chamber.

"Could it be that before this place was completed, it was impacted by the Era of Blankness?"

Hollis gently stroked his chin, contemplating. "Perhaps there was actually nothing here from the outset?"

"That is unlikely. Given the meticulous nature of the Elf Tribe, all preparations would have been made before the triple magic prohibition was implemented."

Fei'er gently shook her head, disagreeing. "There must be a clue here. Either, as Xue Li suggested, or for some other reason, the original 'gate' remains concealed."

"Sister Fei'er is correct. One wouldn't install a lock without preparing the 'gate' or its contents beforehand, would they? It simply doesn't add up."

Moli's response was prompt, her affirmation clear. "We must have overlooked something crucial."

Hollis, hearing Fei’er and Moli’s words, felt a surge of renewed vigor and resumed the meticulous investigation.

However, the available space within the room was remarkably confined. Even in their human forms, the entirety of the chamber, save for the inaccessible ceiling, could be surveyed with a mere glance.

Considering this, Hollis’s gaze instinctively drifted upwards toward the secret chamber’s ceiling. Abruptly freezing, Hollis then exclaimed to Leo Ray, "Lord, look at this!"

Following Hollis’s line of sight, Leo Ray also looked up, yet he discerned nothing out of the ordinary. Hollis, meanwhile, clearly appeared to have stumbled upon something significant, still gesturing towards the upper corner of the wall.

"Could it be that something is only discernible from a specific vantage point?"

With this thought, Leo Ray swiftly moved to stand beside Hollis and peered upwards once more.

This time, in the precise direction Hollis indicated, Leo Ray indeed perceived a triangular, transparent outline. Intricate patterns adorned this section, strongly resembling a fragment of an enormous gate.

This part was situated just below the ceiling, seemingly suspended on the wall before them. It was the sort of detail that would easily escape notice without careful observation.

"This indeed resembles the uppermost portion of the colossal gate, but why is only a fragment revealed?"

After a brief period of reflection, Leo Ray quickly understood.

At that moment, he and Hollis were positioned directly opposite it, which consequently revealed a segment of the transparent contour.

Could this imply that if others were positioned around them, viewing the surrounding areas of this transparent outline, the complete gate would then materialize?

Acting on this hypothesis, Leo Ray wasted no time and promptly gathered everyone present in the room, specifically placing the petite and delicate Moli and Fei’er at the forefront of the group.

As anticipated, when the collective gaze of everyone turned towards the opposite side simultaneously, a complete gate silhouette materialized upon the formerly bare wall.

The instant the entire gate silhouette was unveiled, an ancient wooden door materialized before everyone’s eyes, accompanied by a brilliant flash of golden light.

"So, this is the ‘gate’ concealed within the chamber!"

Witnessing this spectacle, everyone displayed visible astonishment.

"Strangely, I’ve never encountered these particular patterns on any door before; they don’t appear to originate from the Light Elf Tribe."

Upon close inspection, Moli couldn’t refrain from voicing her observation.

As a Forest Language Singer among the Forest Elves, she had limited direct interaction with the Light Elves. However, she had acquired considerable knowledge about their distant kin through various acquired documents.

"Indeed, the relief patterns we observed during our journey felt distinctly different from those adorning this door," Fei’er added.

Fei’er had also noted this anomaly right away and concurred, stating, "This door does not seem to be a creation of the Ancient Light Elves."

"What? If it’s not from the Ancient Light Elves, then why does this door appear beyond the triple magic prohibition?"

Hollis’s usually resolute expression now displayed even greater bewilderment, clearly conveying complete confusion.

"Something is truly amiss here," Leo Ray remarked.

Recalling the Dark Elf statue encountered in another section during their earlier explorations, Leo Ray addressed the group, "Regardless, since a new pathway has now become available, let us proceed inside and uncover the truth behind this enigma."
