In the end, ten minutes passed …
It was the same machine-like calculation, and it was the same new spell matrix. Hogg felt a bit numb at this time. When he sent two more spell matrices, Hogg felt his mind go blank. He only knew how to take the piece of paper and activate the array, just like a puppet.
When the 8th spell matrix was sent, Hogg suddenly discovered that there was one more person in the research room!
"Don't look around!" Star Sage Joy was hiding in a blind spot of the crystal ball, and when he saw Hogg looking over, he immediately made a threatening expression.
"Oh, oh …" Hogg's mind had been blank, but when he saw Star Sage Joy appear, he recovered.
"Next time, send this spell model over …" Star Sage Joey secretly took out a piece of paper and passed it to Hogg in a very discreet manner.
"Okay." Hogg nodded, his gaze sweeping over that piece of paper. He was suddenly startled, and when he looked at Star Sage Joy, disbelief could be seen on his face. "This, this, this … This wouldn't be …"
"What are you being long-winded for? I told you to send it!"
"Okay …" Hogg helplessly nodded, and when he looked at the crystal ball again, there was a bit of sympathy in his eyes.
'Great Mage Merlin, oh Great Mage Merlin, this is Sir Joy's idea, it has nothing to do with me …'
'I hope you can calculate this spell matrix before next year.'
The entire Fanrusen Formula had over three hundred spell matrices. After more than ten years of hard work, the entire research team had already solved around a hundred. As long as they solved the remaining two hundred or so, the Fanrusen Formula would be more or less complete.
Among them, Star Sage Joy had the fewest spell matrices, only twenty in total, but the difficulty could only be described as frightening. Even the other two Archmages were deathly pale after seeing Star Sage Joy's work, shaking their heads and withdrawing.
There was no need to even mention Hogg …
Each of the spell matrices in Star Sage Joy's hands was like a heavenly book to Hogg. Just understanding them would take a lot of time and effort.
Now, the Spell Model that Joy took out was one of the twenty or so Spell Models!
A spell matrix that was enough to make an Archmage pale …
Hogg felt that this Great Mage Merlin would probably have to spend a few months …
Soon, Lin Yun completed the calculations for the two spell matrices in his hands. When he sent the results back, Hogg also sent Star Sage Joy's draft paper over.
Then, Hogg saw that the young Great Mage in the crystal ball frowned the moment he received the piece of paper.
As expected …
Seeing this scene, Hogg actually let out a sigh of relief, then raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.
That young Great Mage's performance was too shocking and frightening. Hogg's workload for a few months was completed in less than an hour by that young Great Mage. For a while, Hogg thought that he was hallucinating. Otherwise, how could someone be so abnormal?
Fortunately, no matter how abnormal that young Great Mage was, he was still a normal human.
If the other side didn't frown after receiving the spell matrix, Hogg would really wonder if he was having a nightmare that he would never wake up from.
At this moment, Hogg's mind was filled with the thought that he had finally stumped him.
"Sorry, High Mage Hogg, I might need some time." After looking at the spell matrix on the other side, Lin Yun knew that it wouldn't be so simple this time. This was definitely one of the core spell matrices of the Fanrusen Formula.
"It's fine, it's fine …" Hogg had a smile on his face before asking with concern, "Do you want the Sage Tower to help you prepare a research room? It looks like you don't have a complete set of magic tools."
"Magic tools?" Lin Yun froze when he heard this. He then shook his head and spread out the piece of paper on the refining table before meticulously making calculations.
"Sir Joy, isn't this spell matrix a bit too difficult?" Hogg pretended to look for something and went to a blind spot in the crystal ball's field of vision.
"Take a look and you'll know."
"Oh right, Sir Joy, these are the eight spell matrices completed by Great Mage Merlin. I'll report them to you first, this is …" Hogg saw that Joy was in a good mood and promptly took out the eight spell matrices Lin Yun had completed, hoping to use this opportunity to redeem his bad impression in Joy's heart.
Hogg had just introduced two spell matrices when he was rudely interrupted by Sir Joy. "Fuck, shut up!"
"Ah?" Hogg was startled. He thought that he had made a mistake and had angered this temperamental Archmage.
"Shut up! That kid has already sent you the results!"
"Shit!"
Hogg was so scared that he almost burst into tears. He frantically crawled over to the crystal ball and saw Lin Yun activating the array and sending over the spell matrices he had just finished calculating.
"Mage … Great Mage Merlin, y-y-you … Don't you need to rest?" Hogg held a few pieces of paper and wanted to squeeze out a smile, but the corner of his mouth twitched and the smile he squeezed out was even uglier than crying.
At this time, Hogg was no longer worried about whether the other side would be tired or not. Instead, he was worried about whether his heart would be able to take it if this continued.
Lin Yun was somewhat exhausted as he massaged his eyebrows. He had completed so many spell matrices in a row, and one of them was the core spell matrix of the Fanrusen Formula. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't tired, but Lin Yun didn't want to rest yet, because Lin Yun would be entering the Bone Plane soon, which might take two or three days. Thus, he had to take advantage of the time he had to spend on the Cloud Tower's research.
Thus, after thinking about it, Lin Yun shook his head. "No need."
"Ha … Ha … Haha, Great Mage Merlin, you are truly …" Hogg awkwardly chuckled. He wanted to say a few words of flattery, but he found that he didn't know what to say.
But when Joy saw him like this, he unhappily glared at him. "Give this to him!"
"Oh …" Hogg took another piece of paper from Joy's hands and looked at it. 'Okay, it's another core spell matrix of the Fanrusen Formula.'
Hogg was already completely numb this time. He only rolled his eyes and passed that piece of paper over.
Sure enough, half an hour passed …
The 3rd piece of paper, the 4th piece of paper, the 5th piece of paper …
One piece of paper after another was passed through the crystal ball to the Gilded Rose, and then to the Cloud Tower. More and more people came to Hogg's research room. At first, it was only that Master Alchemist from the Mercury Tower, but then two Archmages also came. At night, even those two who were absent from today's meeting entered Hogg's research room.
No, it wasn't just them …
At this time, the entire Cloud Tower was spreading the news. Everyone knew that there was a young Great Mage calculating the core spell matrices of the Fanrusen Formula, and that he had already completed close to ten in a few hours. This news was like a bomb being dropped on the crowd, making the entire Cloud Tower explode.
Several dozen High Mages rushed into Hogg's room just to see how abnormal that young Great Mage was. Even more Great Mages crowded at the entrance, all of them existences with far higher statuses than them. They couldn't see what was happening inside the crystal ball, so they could only listen to the discussions of the High Mages.
The originally spacious research room was suddenly filled with people. In order to prevent Lin Yun from Thousand Sails City from noticing, Star Sage Joy even used an 8th Tier Spell to forcibly create an illusion that could deceive the crystal ball.
Time slowly passed, and it was already late at night. But at this time, no one cared about the passing of time. Everyone was attentively staring at that crystal ball, afraid of missing a moment of brilliance.
Ten pieces of paper, eleven pieces of paper, twelve pieces of paper …
When Lin Yun sent the last piece of paper back to the Cloud Tower, the first ray of dawn had already appeared in the eastern sky. At the same time, the entire Cloud Tower burst into deafening cheers. Every mage was rushing to tell the others, and every High Mage was clapping their hands in celebration. The Fanrusen Formula that had troubled Star Sage Joy for over a decade had finally been solved today!
"What's going on?" A trace of doubt appeared on Lin Yun's face when he heard the cheers.
"Haha …" Hogg stood in front of the crystal ball, only giggling, not knowing what was going on.
"Go away …" Star Sage Joy walked over and pushed aside the hindering Hogg. He stood in front of the crystal ball with a smile on his face, and under everyone's stunned gazes, he deeply bowed towards Lin Yun. "Thank you, Merlin."
"This …" Lin Yun was suddenly startled. This was Star Sage Joy, the master of the Cloud Tower, one of the strongest Archmages of the kingdom. "Sir Joy, y-y-you … How could I accept such a thing?"
"No, no, no, listen to me …" Joy shook his head with a smile. "That bow just now was me thanking you on behalf of Noscent's countless mages. I'm thanking you for everything you did today, for making them take fewer detours in the magic world. The next bow is me thanking you, thanking you for letting me fulfill my decades of desire …"
After saying that, Star Sage Joy deeply bowed again.
