The massive motorcade slowly approached the main gate, halting fifty meters away.
Chad, in the front passenger seat of the Lincoln, lifted his right hand. Magic power flowed into the ring on his ring finger, and an invisible ripple spread outwards.
Sensing the ripple, Lorelei’s gaze sharpened. She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then ordered, "It’s Chad. Open the barrier!"
At her command, several Canticle members behind her began to chant softly.
Words imbued with magic power filled the air.
The magical barrier, which enveloped the entire Clock Tower like a protective dome, shimmered and then parted, creating an opening large enough for the motorcade to pass through.
"Oh?? The Clock Tower’s defensive barrier is pretty impressive. Who set it up?" Haru asked, his eyes narrowed slightly as he observed the large-scale barrier, almost perfectly integrated with the Ley Lines. He chuckled softly.
Chad gestured for the driver to proceed, then turned his head, his expression calm, and spoke respectfully to Haru in the back seat through the partition.
"Your Excellency, the initial framework for the Clock Tower’s defensive barrier was established by the Director. The current warning systems were added and modified by subsequent Lords."
