Volume 1 Chapter 107 (1/2)

Only a chess piece

Putting his hand on the door, Xu Yi wanted to use force when a chill filled his heart and he withdrew his hand.

In that instant, he clearly felt a strange magic fluctuation coming from the door.

On this ordinary door, there was actually Magic Array!

If Xu Yi kept using force, the Magic Array would definitely have been activated.

Xu Yi felt into deep thought before stretching out his hand again.

His finger softly touched the door and Xu Yi felt a very faint magic coming from his finger. He investigated the Magic Array on the door bit by bit.

In order to research suitable magic machines, Xu Yi had reached a very high realm in terms of researching Magic Arrays, so he easily recognized that it was a Third Grade Wind Magic Array on the door, the Wind Burst Array.

Once this Magic Array was activated, it would send out intense air currents from the Magic Array.

Although a Third Grade Magic Array wasn’t strong, with the wind gusts being unable to take people’s lives, the gusts of wind would still be able to send people flying. Even if they didn’t die, they would still be injured.

After checking the door to the room, Xu Yi moved his finger from the door to the wall and investigated the faint magic energy traces on the wall.

In the end, he found that other than the door, there were actually Wind Burst Arrays placed on all four walls and the two windows!

This meant that in this room that wasn’t too big and didn’t seem that outstanding, it had actually been turned into a little jail cell!

Xu Yi took back his hand and slightly knit his brows.

The person who laid this trap didn’t seem to want to take his life, they just wanted to trap him here for a bit.

But this was the royal palace and wouldn’t others notice if he had been trapped here for a long time?

Xu Yi thought about this and instantly understood.

The other side should be trying to ruin his audience with the king.

Xu Yi had left the office at around four and had spent around half an hour on the way to the palace. Adding in the time he had spent waiting here, it was almost five which was Xu Yi’s time for his audience with the king.

Perhaps the person who prepared the trap didn’t want to get him stuck here, they just wanted to trap him for a while and make him unable to make it to his audience with the king on time.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi’s heart sunk.

With his current status, being able to obtain an audience with the king was very hard to get. If he missed this rare opportunity and showed up late to the meeting, he would without a doubt leave a bad impression on the king.

Even if Xu Yi could explain this, it wasn’t certain if he would have the chance to have another audience with the king. Even if he did, it wouldn’t mean that the king would trust him.

No matter what, if he missed this chance, it would be a very large hit to the plan that Xu Yi had in his heart.

Time was short and although Xu Yi had many questions in his heart, he didn’t have time to think it over. Taking a look at the gate that was shut, he gave a soft snort and slapped it.

Magic that was several times stronger than when he was investigating came out of his palm and instantly countless lines covered the door to the room.

The Wind Burst Array on the door was already covered by Xu Yi’s magic, but there wasn’t any signs of triggering. Instead, it was being erased bit by bit by Xu Yi’s magic.

After a while, a weak blue glow came from the door and then a breeze blew through the air, slightly moving Xu Yi’s hair.

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile. The Wind Burst Array on the door had already been broken by him and couldn’t be activated anymore.

After losing the obstruction of the Wind Burst Array, Xu Yi just needed to make a small change to the Wind Magic on the door and break the plug blocking the door.

With a “zhiya” sound, the door opened.

“Relying on a Third Grade Array to stop me, you really are looking down on me too much.” Xu Yi gave a soft snort. He kicked open the door.

When he wanted to walk out, several figures suddenly appeared outside the door and blocked Xu Yi off.

“Who is it? Daring to be this audacious in the palace! Catch him for me!”

With an angry roar, three large men wearing the uniform of palace guards charged at Xu Yi.

Seeing these three fierce men charging at him, Xu Yi hesitated a bit.

Breaking property wasn’t a problem, but if he moved against the palace guards, it would really cause trouble.

But he couldn’t hesitate at this time, as three guards were already in front of him. If he didn’t react, they would have caught him.

Xu Yi gave a sigh in his heart. He raised his hand and prepare to shoot out a spell.
