Chapter 275 Three Magic Barriers and Barrier Crystals
“Lord Qi, I can be absolutely sure that this is an extremely pure barrier crystal!”
While being amazed, Faxia smoothed her short, frizzy, shoulder-length hair and blurted out the words first.
At the same time, Xue Ya and Chao Yan also nodded and expressed their agreement.
"Boundary crystal?" Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and motioned for the other party to continue.
On the other side, seeing that he finally had a chance to perform, Fasha's fair cheeks suddenly showed a hint of joy.
Seeing her cheer up, she continued: "Lord, the barrier crystal is as the name suggests.
It is a magical item that can be unfolded at any time as long as magic power is injected into it, and the magic enchantment is stored in it in advance!
Furthermore, as long as the type of enchantment stored in it is not changed, it can be expanded or retracted unlimited times, which is very convenient.
Of course, if you want to maintain the unfolded enchantment, you have to have a continuous supply of magic power just like an ordinary magic enchantment."
“So that’s it, this is simply a mobile hard drive exclusive to the magic enchantment.”
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look thoughtful while being surprised.
Before this, through many chats with Jiang Li, who was once a fifth-level nine-star space mage, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
In this world, magic enchantment is a very broad term that is involved in many areas of life and war.
But it is divided into three types:
The first type is a variety of ordinary functional barriers.
The second type is magic ban.
The third type is the boundary area.
First of all, there is no need to mention ordinary functional magic barriers.
Some time ago, Zhusha led a squadron of magicians to build the "Eye of Insight" in the territory, which is this kind of thing.
Most of these enchantments have unique functions.
For example, "Eye of Insight" can weaken or break the invisibility and illusion effects in the effective area, so that enemies who try to sneak into the territory secretly have nowhere to hide.
For another example, during the Gelincheng Alchemist Conference, the barrier wall that isolated each alchemist had the effect of isolating sound and smoke, etc.
“It seems that this is the only type of barrier crystal that can be stored.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao continued to think.
Secondly, regarding the magic restriction, also commonly known as the perfect magic lock, we have encountered it many times.
For example, on the treasure house door of the former city lord of Kongqing Town, the hidden restrictions at the entrance to the Elf Ruins Dungeon, as well as the depths of the Elf Dungeon and the Immortal Gate that have not yet been opened, etc.
“Speaking of which, although this magic restriction is called a perfect magic lock, it is not just a lock on the door.
Rather, it is a huge barrier that seals off the entire room, or even the entire area.
Therefore, no matter from which angle you look, it is impossible to enter such an area that is surrounded by magic restrictions."
Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly, and fell into thinking again.
Let’s take the Immortal Gate with its fifth-level magic restriction as an example.
Even if you find another way, open another passage from another angle and take a detour.
But as long as you go in the direction leading to the Immortal Gate, what you encounter in the end is still the fifth-level magic restriction of the same intensity.
“In addition, 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 corresponding "key", it is absolutely impossible to open it."
While thinking deeply, the content of the conversation with Jiang Lei reappeared in Lei Xiao's mind.
As for the last type of enchantment area, we have also encountered it, so it naturally becomes a semi-elf enchantment in its own space.
This kind of enchantment area is also the most complex kind of magic enchantment. When building it, it not only requires the related technologies of the first two magic enchantments.
Moreover, it requires the help of a space magician, which is very cumbersome.
“In short, it is the simplest first functional magic barrier to build.
It is also an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive thing, which can be seen from the previous construction of the magician squadron."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression as he looked at the crystal-clear giant barrier crystal in front of him.
“It can be seen that this kind of enchantment crystal that can unfold a predetermined magic enchantment at any time is indeed an extremely convenient item.
For example, on the battlefield, if a certain defensive type of barrier is stored, it can be deployed at critical moments such as being attacked by the opponent from a distance.
Then, it is obvious that the casualties of our own soldiers can be greatly reduced!
However, it is said that defensive barriers, especially large-area barriers, consume the most magic power and cannot be maintained for too long.
But it is conceivable that if used properly, it can still have unparalleled effects!”
Realizing this, Lei Xiao's face suddenly showed a hint of joy.
There is no doubt that according to this idea, continue to think.
This kind of enchantment crystal that can instantly unfold a magic enchantment can obviously become a trump card for one's side and play a huge role at critical moments.
“Lord Qi, the barrier crystal is an extremely rare existence, and only some nobles and wealthy families possess it.
Furthermore, the size and purity of this barrier crystal are the only ones this subordinate has ever seen in his life.
These two items are important indicators to measure the quality of a barrier crystal.
At the same time, it is also directly related to the effective range of the stored magic barrier and the amount of magic power consumed.
I am afraid that in the entire Lengyan Kingdom, only the barrier crystal held by the Lengyan royal family can rival this one."
On the other side, Faxia was amazed and respectfully clasped his fists at Lei Xiao.
“Not bad, this is a good thing.”
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show an increasingly curious look, and then asked: "Is there some kind of magic enchantment stored in this enchantment crystal?"
“Please wait a moment, my lord.”
Saluted to Lei Xiao again, Faxia composed himself, then took a step forward and placed his delicate hands on the exquisite and clear barrier crystal in front of him.
In an instant, a faint golden energy emerged from Faxia's body, and then poured into the barrier crystal in front of him.
The next second, the barrier crystal emitted the same light for a moment, and then immediately returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Faxia sighed softly.
Then he shook his head helplessly and said: "Lord Qi, because this enchantment crystal contains a non-human magic enchantment, my subordinates cannot activate it."
Shortly afterwards, Chaoyan and Xueya, who were eager to give it a try, obtained Lei Xiao’s permission.
I also tried them separately, and finally got the same result of being unable to activate.
“In other words, is the original owner of the barrier crystal a non-human race?
If this is the case, then why does this precious barrier crystal appear in such a place?"
While confused, Lei Xiao opened the attribute bar of the barrier crystal again and found that the original "???" on it had changed.
