Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 581

Chapter 581: Chapter 416: The Disappearing Ice Gate and the Ice Knight on the Ice Surface_1

At this moment, Leo Ray clearly noticed, when Joshua Bingaman’s fair and slender fingers attempted to touch the Giant Ice Gate for an instant.

Accompanied by a sudden wave of energy fluctuating out, the Giant Ice Gate in front of him began to disintegrate and melt rapidly, starting from the spot where Joshua’s hand touched, sweeping like a wildfire.

In the blink of an eye, the Giant Ice Gate, which had just stood here and was at least ten meters thick, completely disappeared.

It was directly transformed into energy particles in the air, leaving not even a drop of water behind.

Not only did the others surrounding Leo Ray notice this, but even Joshua himself, with his delicate face, revealed a hint of astonishment.

“My Lord, I didn’t do anything just now… How could this happen?” Joshua asked in confusion after a moment.

“Yes, my Lord, what exactly happened just now? Why did the Giant Ice Gate disappear all of a sudden?” Bianca White shook her fluffy tail and curiously asked as well, “Could this be a new trap?”

“Gideon Black, what do you think?”

Signaling everyone to calm down, Leo Ray turned to the muscle-bound Priest nearby.

At this stage, apart from Jasper Richardson who had not yet returned, Gideon Black, who was the strongest magic powerhouse in their territory, naturally had the most say.

“My Lord, judging from the energy fluctuations just now, the possibility of a trap can almost be ruled out. This Ice Gate was indeed unintentionally broken by Joshua,” Gideon Black replied while pushing his gold-rimmed glasses up his nose in an elegant bow. “As for why Joshua was able to break this strange Ice Gate so easily, there is only one answer according to the current situation.

It is that the caster of the Ice Gate—or the creator of the Map of Chaos—intentionally left a specific magic backdoor so that if the intruder meets certain conditions, they can automatically break through.”

“Indeed, there are such amazing spells,” Scarlett joined in while holding half a chocolate cookie. “Generally speaking, the mystery of these magic backdoors is very likely to be the bloodline power of the same clan!”

“Bloodline power? So, the creator of the Map of Chaos, or the owner of this hidden cave, used to be a member of Joshua’s clan?”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray stroked his chin and looked thoughtful.

Come to think of it, whether it was the “key” Magic Ice Mirror for breaking the Map of Chaos or the location of this cave near Firsdale City, they did indeed have a more or less connection with Joshua’s Rivers Family.

After all, Ice Magicians are extremely rare compared to the common Four Elements System (Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind) Magicians.

As far as Leo Ray knew, the only large-scale ice magic family in the entire Coldflame Eastern Region was Joshua’s Rivers Family.

With this in mind, Leo Ray hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Joshua, do you have any clues about this?”

On the other side, Joshua bowed slightly and replied, “My Lord, after being reminded by Gideon and Scarlett, I did vaguely sense a very familiar magic fluctuation and a gentle, similar aura when I was in front of the Ice Gate.

I am almost certain that the builder of this hidden cave was an ancestor of my family.”

After saying this, Joshua pondered for a moment, then continued, “Furthermore, in the history of the Rivers Family, there have been some rather unusual rangers and sages, some of whom are even famous throughout the Coldflame Kingdom and the various human countries.

However, most of these ancestors from the Rivers Family were unfettered and loved freedom. They did not want to be bound by the aristocratic rules, hence some have short records in the family history, and some have even been completely expunged from it.

Therefore, given the current situation, I cannot determine which ancestor from which era of the Rivers Family built this hidden cave.”

After she had finished speaking, Joshua’s fair and exquisite face couldn’t help but reveal a touch of excitement and gratitude.

She thanked Leo Ray, saying, “Anyway, thanks to my Lord’s discovery of this vast and boundless Pine Sound Range, I was able to find a trace of this ancestor. Otherwise, I fear I would never have found any trace of them in my lifetime!”

“No need to be polite. In that case, let’s go ahead and see what we can find.”

Leo Ray smiled slightly and took the lead, walking with the crowd surrounding him.

After passing through a long tunnel, Leo Ray noticed that the lingering magic energy in the tunnel walls made it clear that the thickness of the Giant Ice Gate they had just encountered had been at least 30 meters—unbelievably thick.

“Goodness, this can’t even be called an Ice Gate anymore, can it?”

Realizing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but smile wryly and mutter to himself.

Just as he thought this, the view around him suddenly opened up, and he found that as the surrounding temperature gradually dropped.
