Rob's discovery of the Mystic Lock was partly due to luck. He first sensed the existence of the Mystic Lock when one of the nineteen people trapped inside cast a wind-type spell.
This guy's idea was very good. He probably intended to use a strong wind to blow the fog away, but unfortunately, it was useless. The thick fog in the Mystic Lock seemed to have a direct effect on the spiritual level. It would not be easily blown away by the wind like the fog in the natural world.
However, his futile effort had inadvertently alerted the future Supreme Wizard, Your Honor, to the existence of the Mystic Lock.
He had to admit that the Mystic Lock was very good at camouflage and confusion. People outside the Mystic Lock couldn't see the people inside, hear the sounds inside, or feel the magical fluctuations inside. However, the Mystic Lock only worked on the "people" inside the Mystic Lock. The lake, the trees by the lakeside, and various other natural things were not affected. Wind happened to be one of the most common things in the natural world.
As a result, Rob saw a very strange scene. A tier-2 spell called Small Tornado inexplicably appeared in an open space not far from him.
The Archmage immediately realized that he was probably at the edge of an unknown Mystic Lock.
In fact, if the future Supreme Wizard, Your Honor, could recover to his peak, he could rely on his extraordinary senses to capture the almost undetectable magical fluctuations by the lakeside and directly sense the existence of the Mystic Lock.
Unfortunately, he had lost a part of his mana source to save Bevinadet. After falling from tier-6 to tier-5, his senses had also been weakened to a certain extent. This difference was not too obvious when he was bullying low-leveled players, but it was completely exposed when he encountered an expert. For example, when he encountered the One-eyed Butcher in Sethevia Port. If Rob was still tier-6 at that time, the battle would not have been so difficult. Of course, if Mankun Udisi had also recovered to his peak, the Archmage could only carry Lolo on his back and run for his life.
And tonight, Rob knew that he had encountered another expert.
Mystic Lock. The Archmage did not know the name of this Mystic Lock, but it did not stop him from sincerely admiring the guy who invented it. Rob had a wide range of knowledge. As the personal disciple of Steins and the future guardian of the human race, he had super authority in the Magic Association, second only to the President, Vice President, and the nine directors. Almost all the areas in the Association's library and archives were unconditionally open to him.
Because of this, the future Supreme Wizard, Your Honor, could master so many unpopular spells, including many schools that had disappeared in history. Rob had a certain understanding of them. Before this, the Archmage had never encountered a Mystic Lock that he was completely unfamiliar with.
In terms of concealment, the Mystic Lock could be ranked in the top five of all the Mystic Locks that Rob had ever seen, and it was only a tier-3 Mystic Lock. This alone showed that the guy who invented this Mystic Lock was not simple. But what surprised the Archmage the most was the operating rules of this Mystic Lock.
The operating rules of the Mystic Lock were not complicated, but it was a set of things that he could not understand at all. Rob walked a small circle around the edge of the Mystic Lock, trying to crack the Mystic Lock from several directions. Unfortunately, in the end, he failed. However, the thick fog that pervaded the Mystic Lock reminded him of something.
The Archmage's heart skipped a beat. He remembered the secret treasure brooch that he found in the underground city. It was also of the spiritual attribute and had the ability to create illusions. The structure of the secret treasure was also something that he could not decipher with ordinary means. Could it be that the two were somehow related?
After Rob obtained the brooch, he did not stop studying it. The more he studied it, the more he could feel the uniqueness of this secret treasure. Step by step, the Archmage had grasped a small part of the Mystic Lock's structure, but Rob could only barely understand the structure. He could not understand why it was like this. In other words, the future Supreme Wizard, Your Honor, was still in the state of knowing but not knowing why.
But that was enough. Rob no longer tried to crack the operating rules of the Mystic Lock. Instead, he used the structure of the brooch as a "key" to open a "back door" in the Mystic Lock's Mystic Lock.
Rob was only trying his luck. After all, the few methods he had left to crack the Mystic Lock were either too time-consuming or required harsh materials. Both he and the person who set up the Mystic Lock did not want ordinary people to notice their existence. Therefore, both sides would stop by dawn at the latest. There was not much time left for the Archmage, so he could only try his luck.
However, Luo Bu didn't hold much hope. The brooch and the magic array before him were designed using the same principle. The probability of such a thing happening was simply too small.
Secret treasures were left behind by the previous civilization. Although they also used magical elements to function, it was obviously different from the path chosen by the current human race.
The academic world had always been passionate about the study of secret treasures, mainly because many mages believed that as long as the secrets of the secret treasures were revealed, human's knowledge and understanding of magic would definitely take a leap and get closer to the essence of magic.
However, in recent years, only a handful of people had succeeded in this aspect, not to mention that the Endless Sea of Trees was tens of thousands of miles away from Gudilesi. If he did not see it with his own eyes, it would be hard for him to believe that the two were really related. Therefore, when Rob succeeded, he was stunned.
Really? What a coincidence!
The Archmage speculated that the guy who created the Mystic Lock probably had a secret treasure too, and the maker of that secret treasure was the same as the one who made the brooch. That was the only way to explain the magical connection between the two.
Luo Bu secretly thanked his lucky stars. Strictly speaking, he hadn't cracked the Mystic Lock yet, but because of the back door, he could move freely in the magic array without being affected by the fog.
But then, Rob realized another problem. The range of the Mystic Lock was so wide that it directly covered the entire lake and a considerable part of the lakeside. It could not be an outsider who could set up such a large Mystic Lock in the school without anyone noticing. It was very likely that the secret guardian behind the Holy Roland Brotherhood Academy of Magic was behind what happened tonight.
This guy was very arrogant. He knew that so many people had snuck into the school to look for him, but instead of keeping a low profile, he made such a big scene.
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor knew that he had been too careless this time. Since the other party dared to gather so many people together, there was no reason for them not to monitor the area. Previously, he had used his perception to search the surroundings and did not find anyone else, so he let his guard down. But when he saw the Mystic Lock, he realized that the other party was more powerful than he had imagined. Although Rob did not feel any magical waves around, he could not guarantee that he was not under the other party's surveillance.
