LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 582: Chapter 545 Magic Seal Chapter 582: Chapter 545 Magic Seal Although Rocky was quite displeased with being dragged along, once Orton finished reading the diary, he couldn’t help but become intrigued.

Originally, he, like Aniye and others, thought that the Wanzhong Kingdom couldn’t invent anything significant. During the Land Era, every country conducted various research to combat Demons, but the research results were often tied to national strengths. For instance, Wensel, who invented the Mana Rune, was the top grandmaster in the Mana field in the Kohen Country, a well-known major power on land, equating with today’s three major forces. Under such circumstances, the combination of the two finally resulted in the creation of the unparalleled Mana Rune.

In contrast, the Wanzhong Kingdom was different. Even if they dedicated national resources to research, limited national power made it difficult for them to achieve much.

However, after reading the diary Rocky found, especially the part about the research, Orton became interested. Even though he still didn’t believe the Wanzhong Kingdom had any cutting-edge technology, he was indeed curious about what they had stirred up, thus agreeing to Rocky’s request to go investigate together.

As a result, the group set out again, but this time, not only Rocky and Karina were heading for the ruins; Master Orton was also aboard the War Steed.

Without a word throughout the journey, they quickly returned to the research institute standing within the ruins.

“Is this the research institute you mentioned?”

Utilizing flying magic to hover in mid-air with Rocky and Karina, Orton glanced downwards before saying, “Let’s go, you lead, and I’ll follow.”

“Teacher, you must be careful after descending, as there will be magical attacks.”

“Stop babbling, do I need your worry?”

Giving Rocky a sidelong glance, Orton muttered as he cast several magic shields upon himself, thoroughly encasing himself in rounded shields.

Although Orton wasn’t a Void Magic Warrior, he was a rare mage today, and just a step away from being an archmage—a Ninth-level Grand Magus—in magic expertise, making his defensive abilities no less than opening the Defensive Net of a Void Magic Armor after casting several magic shields.

Seeing this, Rocky ceased further comments and dove downward with Karina.

Just as before, as they approached the research institute, magic energy beams attacked, but they were experienced this time. They opened the Defensive Net and slowed their descent, waiting for Orton to catch up.

Afterward, Rocky and Karina, like a moving shield, protected Orton behind them, quickly and smoothly entering the third-floor window of the research institute.

Back inside, the werewolf desperately wanted to take Orton to the first floor, but Orton ignored them, meticulously examining the magic circle on the wall instead.

“It is indeed a magic circle from the Land Era…”

Standing before the wall, Orton mumbled while gently tracing the magical engravings with his hand, “Such magic circles are no longer used today, and there’s hardly any record of them in books…”

His words sounded like mumbling to himself, yet as though he was speaking to Rocky and Karina, so they obediently stood beside him. Though they couldn’t understand, they pretended to look at the wall.

“What are you looking at?”

Awakening from his focus on the wall and noticing Rocky and Karina beside him, Orton curiously asked.

“Looking at these magic circles.”

“Can you understand them?”

“No.”

“Then why bother! Wasting my time, get to the first floor!”

After shooting a glance at them, Orton walked directly toward the stairs, leaving Rocky and Karina bewildered. They quickly followed and finally reached the first-floor hall shortly after.

In the hall, even without Rocky’s explanation, Orton noticed the Array on the walls and floor immediately and walked over.

“These are…”

Standing before the hall walls, Orton examined the magic circles closely, furrowing his brow, and occasionally touched them, brushing away ashes to see more clearly.

Seeing such actions, Rocky and Karina dared not disturb him; otherwise, they’d face a scolding, so they stood patiently to the side.

Thus, time swiftly passed over half an hour. Orton meticulously observed, circling the hall until finally ending up in the center where he glanced at the floor.

Walking about, while inspecting the ground, his slow strides showed considerable attention. After another half hour, he finally lifted his head.

“The Array here is indeed different from the one above.”

Lifting his gaze towards Rocky and Karina, Orton began, “If I’m not mistaken, the entire hall comprises a giant Array that bears no relation to defense but is a large sealing magic circle.”

“A seal? Sealing what?”

Hearing the first half of Orton’s statement, Rocky and Karina both sighed with relief, as it affirmed their suspicion; something was indeed hidden here. But Orton’s latter part confused them, what did the seal magic circle aim to confine?

“You know too little about magic.”

To their confusion, Orton shook his head, “During the Land Era, magic application extended beyond combat, just like today’s Mana. While used in combat, Mana is essential in life, as was the Land Era’s magic. Hence, this seal magic circle wasn’t meant to seal anything but akin to a lock, a door lock.”

“As long as the lock is opened, the door will open.”

Orton’s words left Rocky and Karina dumbfounded, not quite comprehending his meaning.

And Orton clearly didn’t intend to explain further; they understood too little about magic to grasp it, so he motioned for them to stand back with a wave.

Seeing this, Rocky and Karina quickly retreated behind him.

Standing in the center of the hall, Orton slowly extended his hands. Simultaneously, magical power gradually emanated from inside him. In a blink, countless visible magics shot from his hands, which, upon appearing, scattered everywhere, not vanishing, but being absorbed by the hall wall’s magic circle!

Once imbued with magic, the Array glowed brilliantly, illuminating the hall with vivid magical patterns spreading from the walls to the floor, lighting up the floor’s Array too!

And right after the Arrays were fully illuminated, a rumbling sound followed, accompanied by a large stone pillar emerging from the hall’s floor!
