Chapter 440 - 440: Trouble in Estel part 5 (1/2)
[Along the street of Estel]
[Ray point of view]
Through experimentation with various people, I can summarize few things regarding this silver barrier
1. It's a barrier that's almost on par with the one appearing during the incidence at the New Headquarters. Almost on par since it lack the same defensive capability as the one appearing back then
2. It can produce fake doppelganger of those touching it with the intention of harming it. While some regular citizens do touches it, they done it so more out of curiosity, and as such, nothing happens to them, nor does the barrier summons forth their fake doppelgangers counterparts. Whereas, us adventures and knights that were trying hard to destroy it were greeted with surprise. I myself had fought a magician version of myself, and thank goodness I prevailed.
3. Almost nothing can enter nor leave the barrier, making Estel basically one large prison. A very very large prison. I can't communicate with mom and dad who are just outside the Rock and Sea dungeon, and neither them can do the same.
(Almost nothing since...) [Ray]
Liyana with her quick thinking manage to summon a low level slime golem to communicate with them outside. The process is a bit complicated, but it get the job done. Basically
She summon forth a slimy slime golem through Serpie to the nearest communication stones --> The slime in response to her mana and instructions rearrange themselves forming a word --> The adventures outside in response did the same --> The results were interpreted by Serpie
So far, that's the only way we can communicate with them, and for now, that's good enough
(This also mean one thing) [Ray]
That there are other ways, a blind spot that we can use to our advantage. This barrier isn't a perfect one. You can tell that the plan to erect this barrier has been made for quite some time, but at the same time, my instinct tell me that the silver barrier was erected prematurely. As such, I believe we can find a way to overcome it
”Ray, anything new?” [Mile]
My little sister, Mile who is part of the Valkyrie spotted me walking across the street
”No. I try searching for portal stone or something similar to it, but none. How about you?” [Ray]
”Same here. The Trainee Valkyrie and I tried to search for any anomalies, but we found nothing so far” [Mile]
”I see. How about the situation in the castle? Any changes?” [Ray]
”Unfortunately no... I'm worried for King Estel, Fourth Queen and Zaidi safety” [Mile]
While the hidden vampires guard of Princess Diana try to approach the castle, they were in for a surprise, as the castle is surrounded by a stronger silver barrier on it peripherals. Just like the barrier that surrounds the country, nothing goes in or out of it, and that includes communication in and out.
”And the vampires guard try every secret routes possible, but they couldn't even find a way to infiltrate it” [Mile]
”That's to be expected... From what happen, we all can tell that the source of the barrier is in fact, hiding inside the castle itself” [Ray]
