"Look, I just looked at the recording of today's events. That Mafa Merlin only recorded some data in the first few hours, but then he maintained the same posture and stared at that mysterious crystal. Do you know what this means?"
Just as he said that, an Artisan immediately grabbed the crystal ball and started looking at the recording of today's events. Sure enough, that was what he saw.
Suddenly, no one said anything. Zeith stared at the crystal ball with a serious expression.
"At first, he used five hours to research the first truth rune. His research method wasn't much different from an ordinary Artisan's. But later on, he started using other methods to research.
Other than casting [Sharp Mind] and [Berserk Transformation] on himself, there was also a support spell that I didn't recognize, which sped up the speed of his research by several times. That new support spell should be able to nullify most of the side effects of [Berserk Transformation], allowing his mental power to be constantly in an excited but stable state.
"But this isn't enough. He didn't record the key data, which means that his research method is different from ordinary Artisans. What did he use to record and calculate that huge amount of data?
"The core mysteries and data can't be calculated with a Magic Tool. Could it be that he used a Magic Conducting Rune? "But I don't remember a Magic Conducting Rune that was good at calculations having such formidable power …"
Zeith frowned as he pondered. The other mages also pondered, but no one could figure out what the problem was.
The intense discussion went on for half an hour, but no one could figure out what was going on. Zeith rubbed his head.
"We don't need to discuss it anymore, this is a good thing for us. After all, the more truth runes Mafa Merlin researches, the more data he obtains will be given to our Starry Sky College. This will be a great help to our research on that mysterious crystal.
'After so many years, our research on truth runes has reached a bottleneck. It's very difficult to continue. Damn it, who can figure out why the more we research truth runes, the more difficult it is and the more time it takes to research them …'
"Pay close attention to that Mafa Merlin. Take out a crystal ball and record the entire process of Mafa Merlin's research. Pay attention to him, but don't peep at anything outside of the mysterious crystal. Whether our research can break through the bottleneck will depend on that Mafa Merlin …"
Lin Yun didn't know that the Starry Sky College's people had already deduced that his research on truth runes might have exceeded three. Lin Yun returned to his room and slept very soundly. He rarely slept for so long.
The stronger one was, the more their physical and mental state would be maintained at their peak. Even if they were tired, they would be able to recover to their peak state after closing their eyes for a few minutes. But this time, they slept for a full six hours …
This was inconceivable for a Heaven Rank powerhouse. Heaven Rank powerhouses completed the Extraordinary transformation and could be said to have become another species. As long as they weren't seriously injured, they wouldn't need to eat or starve to death, they wouldn't need to sleep or get tired, they would always be maintained at their peak state.
Not to mention that Lin Yun had walked out of the Gate of Rebirth and his body had been completely remolded. He had completed the Extraordinary transformation in the most perfect state.
Even so, he still slept for six hours. And while Lin Yun was sleeping, his soul started transforming and evolving at the fastest speed after entering the Heaven Rank. His mind power was also rapidly increasing, its quality and quantity were frantically rising.
This was the benefit of completing the Extraordinary transformation in a perfect state, because no one knew how many benefits one would receive after walking out of the Gate of Rebirth. They could only be sure that one's potential would be great, but no one knew anything else, because there were no records of it …
And now, a hidden benefit started appearing ahead of time. Super high endurance, super high recovery speed, rapid increase …
If an ordinary 1st Rank Heaven Mage dared to release a dozen Berserk Transformations on himself for ten hours straight, they might have already suffered from the aftereffects. They wouldn't feel tired and be fine after a good night's sleep.
After waking up the next day, Lin Yun felt that his soul had become stronger, his mind had become more resilient, and even his mana and Extraordinary Power had slightly improved. His understanding of Laws had also become a bit stronger and he could faintly feel the surrounding spatial fluctuations.
After all, this was a completely sealed space. Being able to feel the spatial fluctuations meant that the secrets of this place might not be safe.
Lin Yun was a bit surprised by these changes.
'Could it be that researching truth runes has so many benefits? It only took one day for him to make such a huge improvement? Or is it because of Berserk Transformation and Steel Heart? Or is it because of the Magic Array's research? '
A series of speculations flashed in Lin Yun's mind, but Lin Yun temporarily put these speculations aside. Time was very tight, he only had half a year to research truth runes. After half a year, he might have to wait ten years before he could see the Whisper Crystal again.
After waking up, Lin Yun immediately started researching truth runes. The next day, after perfecting the method, his research speed was a lot faster than the first day and he researched five truth runes.
The 3rd day, the 4th day, and on the 10th day, Lin Yun returned to his residence. The few Artisans of the Starry Sky College once again gathered together and looked at the scene recorded on the crystal ball. They all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"Today is the 10th day and he is still the same as before, he looks like he is staring at the mysterious crystal in a daze. But I calculated that his gaze moved away from the mysterious crystal a total of five times. According to his research over the past few days, he would study a truth rune in one go before stopping to record a mark on a piece of paper.
"In other words, he might have already researched five truth runes today. What a terrifying speed …"
An Artisan pointed at the scene on the crystal ball, his eyelids twitching as if he had seen something inconceivable. His voice was somewhat frantic.
Zeith took out a few pieces of paper and wrote some key data on them.
"These key data are all recorded by Mafa Merlin in the past few days. I calculated that these key data points to the core data of a certain truth rune. In total, there are about fifty truth runes!"
The few Artisans looked at some of the key data and shock could be seen in their eyes.
After so many years, the research data they had accumulated regarding truth runes could already be piled up into a library. The mysteries contained within every truth rune might be different and everyone's research direction might be different.
But there was one thing that wouldn't change, the core parameters of every truth rune wouldn't change. No matter how they developed, those core parameters would always have a fixed value.
And the most crucial part of every truth rune was this. As long as they understood this, it would be a lot easier to comprehend the mysteries within each truth rune. Moreover, it would also be easier to use the mysteries of alchemy.
Without comprehending those core parameters, even if they researched some of the mysteries contained within a truth rune, it wouldn't be particularly helpful.
As for the Starry Sky College's Artisans, they had already reached a bottleneck in their research. They could no longer continue their research, or it could be said that their research speed was too slow. It might take a few years or even a dozen years to complete a truth rune.
They started inviting foreign Artisans to participate in the research in order to obtain more new truth runes that they hadn't researched yet. This was a profitable business and the Starry Sky College would obtain even more benefits.
Ever since they had obtained the Whisper Crystal, this was the first time they had seen someone research 50 complete truth runes in 10 days. This had shocked Zeith and the others.
"Apart from Mafa Merlin, how is the research speed of the other Artisans? Perhaps the runes that emerged from the mysterious crystal are relatively simple this time … "
An Artisan calmly asked, but no one took it seriously. They were only holding onto the fact that the mysteries contained within the truth runes had been researched by everyone, so they could explain it so quickly. If everyone was that fast, then it would be normal.
Another Artisan had a strange expression. He took out a crystal plate and a lot of data appeared on it. They were all records regarding the Artisans being researched.
"Reid Mosh, in ten days, researched seven truth runes. Kate Mosh, researched eight complete truth runes.
Gurrig had researched ten complete truth runes, while Albert had researched eleven complete truth runes.
"Arsa researched …
"Finally, apart from Mafa Merlin, Albert researched the most truth runes …"
Even Zeith looked a bit horrified when he heard this data. But as the person with the highest status here, he could only remain calm.
"It's Mafa Merlin's first time coming into contact with truth runes. He was a bit faster at the start, so he can understand. It's not Albert's first time here. Researching eleven in ten days is already very good.
"Pay attention to Mafa Merlin. Separate three crystal balls and record all of Mafa Merlin's scenes.
"No, apart from him entering his residence, don't record the crystal balls as long as he enters his residence. It's best not to make him feel disgusted, he is truly a terrifying guy.
"Oh right, according to the intelligence, is that Mafa Merlin really only 30 years old?"
After Zeith finished his words, the few Artisans were stunned. The youngest one among them was already over five hundred years old. Heaven Rank powerhouses had a long lifespan, even a 1st Rank Heaven Mage would still be at their peak after five hundred years.
Previously, everyone had only been paying attention to alchemy and didn't care about mage ranks. After all, the Artisans that could come here were all Heaven Rank powerhouses. Gurud's situation was extremely rare.
"Sir Zeith, are you joking? Are you joking? That Mafa Merlin is only 30 years old? I heard that he served as the Patriarch of a Mage Family and has already stepped down … "
An Artisan exclaimed in alarm. Who would believe this? Was there something wrong with their heads?
Everyone's expression became strange. Another Artisan quickly checked the information.
"According to the information, that Mafa Merlin is only 32 this year and is a Peak 9th Rank Archmage. His burst power is extremely powerful and he can burst with the power of a 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse.
"Moreover, he isn't an ordinary Artisan. The magic staff and Magic Tool in his hands were all crafted by himself. This shows that he is proficient in Magic Tools. Moreover, he has a puppet army and a Peak Level 39 puppet following him. This also shows that he is proficient in puppeteering.
"In the Raging Flame Plane, he displayed formidable array attainments. Moreover, it is said that he is most proficient in potioneering …"
After saying that, that Artisan couldn't continue. His hands were shaking as he was scared. Previously, everyone had only been paying attention to the matter of truth runes. Who would pay attention to other things? The Artisans that could guard this place were all thinking about truth runes.
They saw Artisans every day, and this time, the twenty or so people were all Artisans. Who would pay special attention to the identity of an Artisan?
But now, the group of people were a little confused.
Surprise could be seen in Zeith's eyes.
"What? He is only a Peak 9th Rank Archmage in the information? Is there a mistake? "
"There is no mistake, this was verified when he came to Neverwinter City. Moreover, Mafa Merlin fought against the Jackson Family's Layford. Although he was powerful, he didn't have any Extraordinary Power. He was only one step away from the Extraordinary transformation …"
Zeith's expression changed and his hands shook. He then softly sighed.
"Alright, I understand. Mafa Merlin went out for a few days when he came to Neverwinter City. He completed the Extraordinary transformation in those few days. That terrifying guy completed the process of advancing to the Heaven Rank in the Odin Kingdom, and it wasn't far from Neverwinter City.
"But our intelligence didn't have any information." He is truly terrifying. When I saw him, he was only a few meters away from me and I could clearly feel the powerful Extraordinary Power slumbering within his body. It is far more powerful than the average Heaven Rank powerhouse.
However, his control over his power has reached an unimaginable level. I can even sense the power of the rules of space on his body, which blocks everyone else from sensing him. Even I am unable to sense how strong he is. I can only sense that he is extremely terrifying.
"Those idiots of the Jackson Family actually provoked that kind of person. Before Mafa Merlin advanced to the Heaven Rank, he was already on par with him. Now that Mafa Merlin advanced to the Heaven Rank, if nothing unexpected happens, he might be able to get rid of Layford.
"Pay attention, we can't let those idiots of the Jackson Family go too far. I don't want to see him die here, nor do I want to see Heaven Rank powerhouses fight here."
Zeith cautiously gave an order and a crystal ball immediately started focusing on Layford's body.
The few Artisans had strange expressions. Even if they were Artisans who risked their lives for alchemy and didn't care too much about things like mage ranks, they were still scared.
"A Heaven Rank powerhouse in his thirties … According to the records, he wasted a few of his years in vain. In other words, he used less than thirty years to advance to the Heaven Rank, and he is also an all-rounder Artisan. This isn't something a human should be able to accomplish.
Zeith gave the order with a stern expression before turning to leave. After leaving the conference room, he couldn't help being shocked. He couldn't close his mouth and his hands were shaking, he was scared.
'Damn, a Heaven Rank powerhouse in his thirties, an Artisan … Is that guy the reincarnation of a God?
'Thirty, sh * t, I was still complacent about advancing to the Archmage realm when I was thirty. At that time, the entire family was celebrating and even a Heaven Rank powerhouse personally appeared.
'Sh * t, that guy is actually only thirty and already advanced to the Heaven Rank. How could such a monster appear in the Andalusia Kingdom? The Starry Sky College's current record was 188 years old under normal circumstances. The fastest record was 106 years old.
'But the youngest Artisan to advance to the Heaven Rank was 380 years old.
'That Mafa Merlin actually accomplished these things in his thirties, and the speed at which he researched truth runes was so fast.
'Monster, a pure monster. As long as he doesn't die, the Starry Sky College might have to listen to him in a few hundred years.'
Zeith thought for a bit before suppressing this matter. He turned to look at the other Artisans and specifically warned them not to leak this matter, because according to the Starry Sky College's intelligence, Lin Yun was still a Peak 9th Rank Archmage.
It might only be one step, but the gap could be compared to crossing Noscent's entire continent.
Zeith wanted to report this matter, but after thinking about it, he decided to focus on his Artisan status. Apart from the matter of truth runes, everything else should be put aside for the time being. He would deal with it after the end of the gathering.
