Therefore, to ensure the safety of everyone and the Ancient Chest, we have made this decision.”
“Well spoken.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray slightly pursed his lips and thought to himself, “Actually, it’s just to guard against the strong members of the mysterious organization who may be mingling among the guests.
However, this is clearly not the main force of this trap. It seems that the reason the Lord of Viennas City arranged this is to confuse the mysterious organization’s strong members.”
“Alright, esteemed guests, now please join me in admiring the true face of the Ancient Chest.”
The generous and impassioned auctioneer then nodded to several Mages who were standing ready not far away.
Following that, the Mages understood and stepped forward, directly coming to the Blue Stone Platform at the center of the auction stage.
In an instant, the lofty and distinct arcane chanting resounded.
A moment later, the strange colors flickering on the black square Barrier had noticeably dimmed by a few degrees.
“It seems this should be the spell to remove the Barrier.”
Watching the rather magical scene before him, Leo Ray slightly nodded, revealing a thoughtful expression on his face.
According to Kelsey’s earlier statement, this kind of special, high-intensity Magic Barrier has a unique sealing and unlocking system.
Each unlocking spell is completely different and requires multiple people to complete.
Most importantly, this is just one of the protective measures.
From this, one could see that the defensive measures of this Barrier were indeed quite comprehensive.
“No wonder the strong members of the mysterious organization haven’t acted before, as the vice-chairman, Gary Lewis certainly knows better than anyone else the difficulty in unlocking it.”
As Leo Ray thought of this.
On the other side, after the Mages on stage had finished casting their spells,
The auctioneer elder slightly nodded and took out a pale purple crystal from his bosom, gently pressing it onto the now dimmed and lightless black Barrier.
The following second, a crisp sound of shattering glass could be heard.
The black Barrier on the Blue Stone Platform began to collapse rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a short moment, a deep gray square box appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Upon close inspection, the box was perfectly square, without any parts like a lid or small drawers, looking very much like a Rubik’s cube.
Under the illumination of numerous Light Crystal Stones, its surface reflected a dim and eerie radiance, seemingly absorbing a portion of the light.
At first glance, the material used for the box seemed to be something between metal and crystal, quite magical in nature.
Moreover, it was covered with finely detailed carvings, making it look like a very complex maze, giving people a sense of inexplicable dizziness at first glance.
“Goodness, is this the Ancient Chest?”
With the help of the Wind Eye Pill, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a surprised expression as he carefully examined the chest.
Without a doubt, this box was far more mysterious than he had imagined.
“Just looking at it from this distance, the box exudes a sense of great time and antiquity, as if it possesses some kind of magic that makes it difficult for people to take their eyes off it. Surely, it is anything but ordinary.”
While rubbing his chin, Leo Ray continued to think, “Is it really a box for holding things? And which race left it behind?”
“Most importantly, what kind of secret is hidden within it that makes the mysterious organization so desperate to break in even knowing that this place is a trap?”
While Leo Ray was deep in thought,
On the other side, the old auctioneer on stage spoke slowly, continuing his introduction, “As you all can see, this is the Ancient Chest. According to our Viennas City’s senior archaeologists,
This object is very likely to have originated from the Blank Era three thousand years ago, as for which race it belongs to, it remains unknown.
However, by examining the clues left in the ruins, it can be determined that this object comes from a race other than our Human Clan, Elf Tribe, Dwarf Clan, and Half-Orc Tribe, making it a truly mysterious item.
After all, during that Blank Era, there were not a few races that disappeared without a trace, which further adds to the value of this chest.”
Having said that, the auctioneer elder looked at the focused expressions of the nobles and merchants below the stage, smiled slightly, and continued, “Additionally, after several attempts, we discovered,
Neither physically nor magically can this box be opened.
The reason we believe it to be a box is because we used an expensive Professional Magic Detection Scroll.”
Inside the box, a faint magical reaction was detected, which undoubtedly confirmed there must be some sort of mechanism hidden within.”
At this point, the old auctioneer paused again, stroking the white beard on his old face as he continued, “Therefore, out of respect for Lord of Viennas City, Your Excellency, we decided that since our Viennas City is indeed incapable of deciphering the secrets within,
It would be better to put this object up for auction, allowing those with destiny to compete for it. Perhaps, by doing so, the secrets within would be discovered. Who knows? And, if any guest should rise to prominence through this, do not forget our Viennas City then, hehe.”
