    Next, without hesitating, Scarlett exined, “Because the Barrier Area here is not in a normal state, but in a special self-repairing state!”


    In a self-repairing state, not only does the Barrier Area not emit any conventional energy fluctuations.


    Moreover, it can automatically absorb some external energy particles.”


    As a result, these external energy particles merge with the energy particles originally existing within the Barrier Area, creating a magical phenomenon called the Magical Convection Phenomenon.”


    However, this Magical Convection Phenomenon is generally difficult to detect, which is why the vast majority of powerful beings are unfamiliar with it.”


    “So, the unusual energy fluctuations we just sensed were caused by this Magical Convection Phenomenon?” Upon hearing this, Leo Ray’s furrowed brows slowly rxed as he pondered aloud.


    “Yes, Your Excellency, that’s exactly it.”


    Scarlett nodded slightly, her signature starry eyes blinking as she continued her exnation: “And the reason the energy fluctuations we felt just now were so intense.”


    The only answer is that this Barrier Area is undergoing a massive self-repair!”


    “A massive self-repair, huh? That’s indeed a very rare situation.”


    Hearing this, a sh of white light shot through Gideon ck’s sses as he pondered and nodded, “Since each Barrier Area represents the crystallization of wisdom from various races,


    as a result, Barrier Areas inherently possess nearly perfect self-repair functions, able to exist for a long time even without maintenance.”


    Moreover, even if the hidden Magical Protective Barrier at the entrance of a Barrier Area is broken, it can’t be considered arge-scale self-repair.”


    Unless the entire Barrier Area itself has experienced significant issues.”


    “That’s right, from the current situation, there’s only one answer.


    That is this unknown Barrier Area has already be incredibly ancient and long-forgotten!” On the other side, Scarlett nodded vigorously and affirmatively, “From this, we can also draw a conclusion.


    Everything is almost impossible to be man-made, otherwise, the previous anomalies would not have urred.


    After all, the Barrier Areas were created to exist covertly.


    Barring any idents, that Barrier Area should be an abandoned ancientnd that is still functioning in some way.”


    “That makes sense. This way, the anomalies we mentioned earlier and the sudden appearance of an Advanced Magic Puppet can be fully exined.”


    After pondering for a moment, Gideon ck adjusted his Gold-rimmed sses and began, “Firstly, the asional abnormal energy fluctuations, as exined just now, were caused by the Magical Convection Phenomenon.


    Secondly, the sound of shattering ss often heard at night is due to the ancient Barrier Area’s Magical Protective Barrier aging phenomenon, caused by its long-neglected state, only simr in sound.


    However, it was quickly repaired automatically, so no traces could be detected.”


    Last but not least, the decline of water levels in the Protective City River and the Lake in the Ind at the city center is due to the unstable nature of the Magical Protective Barrier at the entrance of the Barrier Area.


    This instability caused some water from theke to flow directly into the Barrier Area.”


    As Gideon ck was speaking, Kara nodded thoughtfully and said, “The Protective City River on the outskirts of the city and the Lake in the Ind at the city center are indeed connected through underground rivers.


    As soon as the water level drops in one ce, the other will inevitably experience a simultaneous decrease!”


    “So that’s how it is…”


    Hearing this exnation, Gregory Mason’s resolute face brightened in understanding, only to disy confusion once again as he asked, “How do we exin the disappearance of so many Orioles then?”


    “That’s actually very simple.” Scarlett nced at the now peaceful surface of theke, then continued, “I’m sure everyone is familiar with the Orioles’ unique self-preservation mechanism, right?


    It involves emitting strange sound waves to hide themselves, so predators can’t locate their exact positions through scent.


    Within the realm of Magic, these sound waves have long been proven to create a special resonance effect with certain Barrier Areas, even capable of interfering with the function of Magical Protective Barriers.”


    However, this resonance is extremely weak under normal circumstances, virtually negligible.”


    But, since this Barrier Area at the center of Mystara City is in a long-neglected state.


    It can be easily exined as long as there are no idents.”


    “I see, so you’re saying these Orioles inadvertently opened the entrance to the Barrier Area and flew in?” Upon hearing this, Kara, looking enlightened, murmured, “Right, the Mystara City residents who reported Orioles’ disappearances were indeed concentrated near the city center, which corresponds perfectly to this point!”


    “In summary, it is indeed an ancient, unknown Barrier Area that caused all of these events to happen.


    And the entrance to this ancient Barrier Area is right in the heart of this Lake in the Ind!”


    On the other side, with a sh in her starry eyes, Scarlett’s gaze once again fixed on the now calm and emptyke center, concluding her exnation.
