“Reporting to the Lord, I can confirm with certainty that this is a highly pure Barrier Crystal! ”

In awe, Orion Wolfe combed through his shoulder-length hair before speaking the words.

At the same time, Joshua Bingaman and Scarlett, who were standing next to him, also nodded their heads in agreement.

“Barrier Crystal?”

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly, signaling for the other party to continue.

On the other side, seeing that he finally had a chance to perform, a touch of joy appeared on Orion Wolfe’s fair cheeks.

Orion then gathered his spirits and continued, “As the name suggests, Lord, a Barrier Crystal is a magical object that can instantly deploy a previously stored Magic Barrier as long as mana is infused into it!

Moreover, as long as the type of Barrier stored inside is not changed, it can be deployed or withdrawn an unlimited number of times, making it very convenient.

Of course, to maintain an expanded Barrier, the same continuous supply of mana is required, just like with regular Magic Barriers.”

“So that’s how it works. This is simply a portable hard drive designed specifically for Magic Barriers.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but show a contemplative expression amidst his astonishment.

Before this, through several conversations with Jasper Richardson, who had once been a Tier 5 Nine-Star Space Magician, Leo Ray clearly understood.

In this world, Magic Barriers are a very broad term that encompasses many fields in both life and war.

But they can be divided into three main types:

The first type is a variety of ordinary functional Barriers.

The second type is Magic Restrictions.

The third type is Barrier Regions.

Firstly, there’s no need to mention the ordinary functional Magic Barriers.

Not long ago, the “Eye of Insight” constructed by Daisy Sasha and her elite Mage Squad in the territory was one such example.

These Barriers generally have unique functions.

For example, the ‘Eye of Insight” can weaken or break the effects of invisibility and illusion within its effective area, leaving enemies attempting to infiltrate the territory with nowhere to hide.

Another example would be the Barriers separating the alchemists during the Golin City Alchemist Convention, which had the effect of isolating sound and smoke, among others.

“It seems that the kind of Magic Barriers that can be stored in this Barrier

Crystal fall into this first category.”

Thinking about this, Leo Ray continued to ponder.

Secondly, regarding Magic Restrictions, also known as perfect magical locks, he had encountered them several times before.

For instance, the Treasure Vault door of Cyan Town’s former City Lord, the hidden restrictions at the entrance of the Elf Underground City, and the unopened deep areas of the Elf Underground City and the Immortal Gate.

“Having said that, although this kind of Magic Restriction is referred to as a

perfect magical lock, it is not merely a lock on a door.

Instead, it is a massive Barrier that seals an entire room or even an entire area.

Therefore, if one cannot unlock it, it would be impossible to enter the area enveloped by the Magic Restriction, no matter from which angle.”

With a slight twitch of his lips, Leo Ray fell into thought once again.

Taking the Immortal Gate with its Tier 5 Magic Restriction as an example:

Even if someone tried to take a different path, open a new passage from another angle and detour around it, it would be impossible. However, as long as it was in the direction leading to the Immortal Gate, they still only encountered the same strength Tier 5 Magic Prohibition in the end.

“Furthermore, this kind of magic restriction is a self-contained existence with complete energy storage and absorption functions, which is why it can exist for a long time.

Without the corresponding strength or the matching ‘key’, it is absolutely impossible to open.”

Thoughtfully, the conversation with Jasper Richardson resurfaced in Leo Ray’s mind.

As for the last type of Barrier Area, he had also experienced it himself; that was the Half-Elf Barrier that forms its own space.

This type of Barrier Area is also the most complex magic barrier, and when constructing it, they need not only the relevant technology of the first two kinds but also the help of space mages. It can be quite cumbersome.

“In short, even constructing the simplest functional magic barrier is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive task, which can be seen from the construction process of the Mage Squad.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray looked at the crystal-clear giant Barrier Crystal in front of him and couldn’t help but ponder.

From this, it can be seen that the Barrier Crystal, which can unfold the preset magic barrier at any time, is indeed a very convenient item.

For example, on the battlefield, if a defensive-type barrier is stored and activated at a critical moment when attacked by the enemy from a distance, It could significantly reduce casualties for their own soldiers!

“However, it is said that defensive barriers, especially large-scale wide-range barriers, are the most magic consuming and cannot be maintained for long. But one can imagine that if used properly, they can still have unparalleled effects!”

Realizing this, a trace of joy appeared on Leo Ray’s face.

Undoubtedly, following this train of thought,

This Barrier Crystal, capable of instantly deploying a magic barrier, can obviously become his trump card, playing a significant role at critical moments.

“Lord, the Barrier Crystal is an extremely rare existence, only possessed by some aristocratic families. Moreover, the size and purity of this Barrier Crystal are among the best I have ever seen.

These two factors are crucial to determining the quality of a Barrier Crystal and also directly related to the effective range of the stored magic barrier and the amount of magic power consumed.”

On the other side, stunned by the scene, Orion Wolfe respectfully saluted Leo

Ray and said, “I’m afraid that in the entire Coldflame Kingdom, only the Coldflame Royal Family’s Barrier Crystal can rival this one.”

“Not bad, this is a good thing.”

With a slight nod, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a more curious expression, and then asked, “Does this Barrier Crystal contain some kind of magic barrier?”

“Please wait a moment, My Lord.”

After saluting Leo Ray again, Orion Wolfe calmed down and took a step forward, placing her slender hand on the crystal-clear Barrier Crystal in front of her.

In an instant, a faint golden energy emerged from her lean and strong body, which then wholly flowed into the Barrier Crystal in front of her.

The next second, the Barrier Crystal emitted the same bright light for a moment, then immediately returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, a trace of disappointment appeared on Orion Wolfe’s delicate face.

She sighed softly, then helplessly shook her head and said, “Reporting to the Lord, since the Barrier Crystal stores a non-human race’s magic barrier, I cannot activate it.”

Subsequently, Scarlett and Joshua Bingaman, eager to try, also gave it a shot with Leo Ray’s permission.

In the end, they all obtained the same result of being unable to activate it.

“Does this mean that the original owner of this Barrier Crystal was another non-human race? If that’s the case, why would such a precious Barrier Crystal appear in a place like this?”

With doubts, Leo Ray once again opened the Attribute Column of the Barrier Crystal, and found that the original   had changed to something new..
