With the magical effect of the magic slate, Chen Rui successfully entered the closed ancient magic tower.
Just now, Leo used the privilege of individual consultation. This time, Chen Rui wasn't the only one who entered the magic tower. Coincidentally, Master Xhosa was also inside, and there were a few masters he didn't know.
As soon as Master Xhosa saw Chen Rui, he said with a smile, "It turns out to be Master Arthur. You entered the magic tower for consultation so soon? It should have been Rummenigge. I guess it was that guy who gave you the time. He has a granddaughter who seems to know you. Is Rummenigge trying to win you over step by step and finally tie you to the Asmodeus Royal Family through marriage? Unfortunately, I only have one son. You probably don't like him, right? "
In fact, Master Xhosa guessed it right. Rummenigge did have such a long-term idea, but he hadn't shown it yet.
Chen Rui was still smiling initially, but he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he heard the last sentence. That's too ridiculous! I don't look like a gay person at all!
"What nonsense are you talking about!" A mature female Great Demon master on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "This is Master Arthur, right? I saw your style in the arena finals last time. It's really admirable. Ignore this old guy. He likes to talk nonsense the most! "
In fact, Xhosa was a little embarrassed when he saw Chen Rui. At that time, he wanted to accept him as an apprentice, but he turned out that Chen Rui was also a master. Xhosa immediately smiled, "Master Fimi, I heard that Master Arthur likes mature and plump women the most. Your figure is well maintained, and you have a good figure. You should have a good chance. Let's get closer later."
"Old bastard! Do you believe that I won't shove that broken wine bottle up your ass if you dare to talk nonsense again? "The mature plump woman's face turned red, and then her incomparably tough words shocked everyone present.
It seemed that the "race" of mechanical masters were mostly abnormal types. Anderson and Rummenigge were the rare normal Demons among the masters of the association.
Chen Rui had a long-lost feeling. Mars was dangerous. It was better to fly back to Earth.
After all, time in the Ancient Magic Tower was very precious. After they introduced themselves, they went to the third or fourth floor and began to study or record on their own.
Chen Rui didn't have much time last time and could only skim through the information. Although he had recorded a lot of data, it wasn't very complete. Moreover, the Ancient Magic Tower was very mysterious, and the data this time was different from the last time. He didn't bite off more than he could chew. He stayed on the third floor and activated < Deep Analysis >. While comparing the results of the two analyses, he was also trying to understand the mystery.
The data on the third level was indeed incomparable to the first and second levels. The changes in the data were complex and mysterious. Every time they were arranged and combined, new results could be obtained, and new ideas could be obtained. Last time, Chen Rui was immersed in it because of this. However, it was quite difficult to form a complete formation, even with the assistance of < Deep Analysis >.
No wonder those masters had studied for many years, but it was still difficult to "decipher" a complete magic circle.
< Deep Analysis > seemed to be constantly adding algorithms. There were more arrangements in Chen Rui's mind, but the hole in the completeness was getting bigger and bigger.
Chen Rui frowned and began to ponder. There was a saying in < Xunzi >: Thousands of changes, but the path is the same.
That was to say, it doesn't deviate from its original path.
No matter how complicated the magic was, it couldn't be separated from the six elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and dark. Even the necromancy derived from dark magic or the space magic (lost) transformed from wind and water magic were the same. The same was true for the magic circle.
What was needed now wasn't to turn simple into complicated and add countless changes, but to turn complicated into simple and precipitate the most basic and the most critical context.
Chen Rui thought for a while, stood up, walked downstairs, and returned to the first floor.
Time always passed quickly when he was focused on something. In the blink of an eye, eight hours had passed.
When Chen Rui retreated from his thoughts, he happened to see Master Xhosa walking down from the second floor.
Master Xhosa saw him sitting on the first floor and was taken aback, "Why are you still here? With your ability, you should at least be on the third floor. Even a master can only enter the magic tower for a limited time every month. Don't waste it! "
"I'm about to go up." Chen Rui knew that Master Xhosa meant well. He nodded, stood up, and took out a bottle of wine. "By the way, I haven't had the time to thank Master Xhosa for your care and help. This bottle of wine was given to me by the old prime minister, Sir Lamarr. Now, I'll give it to you."
Although Xhosa didn't understand what Chen Rui meant, when he heard Lamarr's name, his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly came over to take a look at the wine and put it into the storage ring as if it was a treasure, "This is the best thousand-year-old fruit wine! The old prime minister is famous for his wine collection in the capital. I owe you for this! "
As Master Xhosa was about to walk out happily, he suddenly turned back and said, "If you want to go out in advance, you only need to walk through the front door like me. The countdown of the magic slate will automatically end, and the remaining time can be accumulated until next month. Once the time is up, the magic slate can also automatically teleport you outside. "
Chen Rui thanked Master Xhosa and walked to the second floor. He sat on the second floor for another eight or nine hours. Some of the previous people, including Master Fimi, teleported out, and some stayed for some time. They walked all the way to the bottom floor. In addition to this group of people, a few more entered. Along the way, they were surprised to see the most dazzling genius rising star unexpectedly stuck on the second floor in contemplation. Master Fimi kindly reminded him, but she didn't say too much and walked toward the exit of the lower floor.
Chen Rui used [Deep Analysis] twice on the first floor. He spent more time organizing and thinking. He used it once on the second floor. Until now, he finally solved some key problems and stood up happily. Only then did he feel his stomach growling. After eating something, he confidently walked to the third floor.
Outside the magic tower, it was already the morning of the next day. President Anderson was having breakfast with several masters including Rummenigge in the restaurant on the fifth floor. Master Leo walked over and said, "Did you guys hear? It's been more than ten hours, and the trio-specialized 'genius' is still on the second floor. It's really a waste of Master Rummenigge's kindness. "
"At least Master Rummenigge still has the intention. At least it's for the alliance and the empire." Master Xhosa looked at Master Leo mockingly, "It's much better than some people who only gloat."
Leo's eyes narrowed, "Xhosa, what do you mean?"
"All the masters present here know what I mean!" Master Xhosa sneered, "Savice's death is self-inflicted. He has been taking the initiative to provoke Master Arthur. If it's me, I won't only need Savice's hands in the contest! It's just the death of a hellhound, but the alliance has one more dragon! Moreover, this dragon still has unlimited room for improvement! You're targeting Master Arthur like this, that's why I want to ask you, what do you mean? "
Leo didn't have a good relationship with others, so he immediately felt the unfriendly gazes of the masters around him. Feeling very uncomfortable, he coldly snorted and said, "I'm just stating the facts. Even if he's proficient in three elements, he might not be able to do it!"
Master Rummenigge said, "As a master, it's his first time entering the ancient magic tower. No one can predict what will happen in the future. At least, I have confidence in him."
With Rummenigge's reputation and identity, Leo couldn't say anything more for a while. He left after saying that.
"The higher you guys praise him, the more he will fall!"
Master Anderson frowned. Out of concern for this new genius master, there were new reports of his movements from time to time in the following time.
"Arthur went to the third floor from the second floor."
"He seems to have taken out the magic slate, but he hasn't recorded it."
"Arthur went to the fourth floor from the third floor."
"He started to record on the magic slate!"
"…"
These news also appeared in Master Leo's ears. When Master Leo heard that Chen Rui used the magic slate on the fourth floor, he was relieved. He secretly gave an evaluation of Chen Rui as ambitious and flashy.
If Chen Rui had been staying on the third floor, it would be worth being vigilant. However, he went to the fourth floor now. Although this young man is trio-specialized, he hasn't really reached the level of the top master in terms of single specialization. Even if he was a top master, it was quite difficult to understand and copy the complete magic circle on the fourth floor, let alone cracking it.
It was precisely because Leo was good at this that he had an outstanding position in the alliance. Even if he behaved improperly usually, President Anderson just turned a blind eye.
Just as the sky was getting dark, the masters of the Mechanic Association finally received the news that Chen Rui came out of the ancient magic tower.
It seemed that "Arthur" went directly to the president's office, and he even attracted several masters to follow him. Leo heard the "news" brought by the apprentice in his lab. After thinking about it, he left the lab and walked toward the building.
Sure enough, there were several masters in the president's office. They were competing to look at a magic slate, and the president, Master Anderson, was holding two magic scrolls full of words.
"Isn't this Master Leo?" The one who spoke was Leo's nemesis, Xhosa. "You came just in time. You can admire the magic circle that Master Arthur just cracked."
"Cracked?" Leo thought he heard it wrong. Isn't it a copy? No, even if it's a copy, it's impossible. How long has it been? Didn't Arthur spend 16 to 17 hours on the first and second floor? Counting up until now, it's only 10 hours on the third and fourth floor. It's less than 2 days in total. How can he copy the complete magic circle? Let alone cracking it!
Leo grabbed the slate that the masters were looking at in disbelief. He ignored the masters' dissatisfaction and quickly looked at it. This … is actually a complete magic circle. It's a quasi-four-star!
No! There's more than one. There's a quasi-four-star and a four-star. Leo didn't give up and carefully looked at the magic circle, trying to find the mistake. However, with his eyesight and knowledge of magic circles, he had to admit that the two were absolutely complete magic circles!
"How is this possible!" Just as Leo said this, Master Xhosa had already snatched the slate back.
"If you want to see the decipher, go to the president! Don't stop us from studying! "
Usually, when a complete magic circle came out, the masters would first study it and then compare it with the decipher result. This way, they could deepen their understanding and inspiration. Apart from the president, studying the decipher result also required a certain amount of contribution points.
Leo came to Master Anderson's table and heard Master Anderson saying to Chen Rui, "It's indeed a perfect decipher. The description is very detailed. Recording the complete quasi-four-star is 1000 contribution points and the four-star is 1500 contribution points. Deciphering quasi-four-star is 5000 contribution points and the four-star is 6000 contribution points. Then, your contribution points have increased by 13,500 points this time. Plus the 100 points you got when you joined the alliance, it's a total of 13,600 points. You're the first to reach the black-star contribution level as soon as you joined."
President Anderson's positive evaluation made Leo lose the courage to pick on the two magic scrolls that recorded the decipher information. He had confirmed one thing. This "Arthur" was indeed a true genius that only appeared once in 10,000 years in the mechanics industry. Not only was he proficient, but he was also good enough to look down on his peers in all fields.
Seeing Master Leo walking out in a daze, Master Anderson shook his head secretly. However, Chen Rui's performance was too dazzling. Excluding the preliminaries, this was the first time he officially entered the ancient magic tower. In less than 30 hours, he deciphered and recorded two complete advanced magic circles. I'm afraid no one can surpass this record.
From now on, Leo's monopoly contribution in magic circles no longer existed. If he didn't pay attention to his words and deeds, he would definitely become the target of public criticism.
Chen Rui reached the black-star contribution level, but he wasn't in a hurry to exchange for materials. The current materials for "Thunderous Sound" were all gathered, but his aura was still a little far from the sky-high price of 10 million to buy the blueprint. The Mechanic Association was rich in resources. It was equivalent to a material warehouse for various approaches. The mystery of the ancient magic tower had yet to be uncovered. Not only that, there were a large number of books, notes, and experiences which were very important supplements for Chen Rui.
Of course, the identity of mechanical master was derived for a certain purpose. It could be used as a cover or a way to survive. However, Chen Rui's biggest pursuit was definitely not just an alchemist, even if it was a grand master. However, there would definitely be more artifacts in the exchange center in the future. At that time, materials would be the biggest problem. Joining the core of the Mechanic Association could solve this problem very well.
In fact, the two magic circles that Chen Rui handed over this time were only a small part. According to the deduction of [Deep Analysis], it was definitely more than that. He didn't want to reveal too much. It would be fine as long as his contribution reached the black-star level. The only regret was that he still couldn't go up to the fifth floor.
Despite that, Chen Rui had become a rare treasure in the eyes of the masters in the Mechanic Association. He was indeed a rare genius. Not only was he proficient in three specialties, but he also had such an incredible talent in magic circles!
Chen Rui didn't exchange for materials. He just used his black-star authority to borrow some notes left by the senior top masters. Then, he showed a tired look and said that he was exhausted. He had to return to the Custer Family to recuperate for a while. The foreshadowing was basically laid, and the plan should really start.
The masters had studied magic circles before. They knew that it was extremely brain-consuming, so they didn't doubt it. They even told Chen Rui to rest more and come back to the association after he recovered his energy.
However, the masters of the Mechanic Association didn't wait for that day because something that shocked the entire Shadow Empire and even the entire Demon Realm happened. Master "Arthur" was attacked by an unknown person when he went out and his whereabouts were unknown.
