"That's not right."
"More precisely, it's hostility."
"Anyone—or any monster—with hostile intentions toward my Maple Leaf Territory can't pass through this magic array."
As everyone speculated, Lan Qingyou descended from the sky.
She explained the principles behind the magic array to them.
As for whether openly revealing all this counted as giving away secrets...
Lan Qingyou could only say they were underestimating her.
Even if this information got out,
anyone who wanted to tamper with the magic array would have to think twice.
The alloy plates inscribed with Magic Circuits had been buried at depths ranging from a dozen to several dozen meters underground.
Although a few Earth and Wood Element spells would be enough to tear up the ground at that depth,
Lan Qingyou had learned from the Abandoned War and installed additional safeguards around the edge of the magic array.
These safeguards were somewhat similar to those used by the War Tree Demon.
But they didn't use a War Tree Demon.
Instead, she'd developed a semi-permanent warning system and fully automatic War Magic Puppets.
Unlike ordinary humanoid Magic Puppets,
these buried puppets had a shape similar to the Bone Pincer Worm they'd encountered before.
When activated, only half of each puppet emerged above ground.
The other half continuously drew Magic Power from the magic array.
In other words, the Pincer Worm Puppet couldn't be defeated without first dealing with the half buried inside the magic array.
And destroying the buried half required destroying the magic array first.
But the magic array was protected by the Pincer Worm Puppets.
That created a vicious cycle.
Of course,
Lan Qingyou certainly wasn't going to mention these security measures.
It wasn't that the information was especially valuable.
She mainly wanted to see what expression anyone might make if they spotted the potential
