After sending the Draconic Beastman away, Lin Yun started focusing and carefully observing the changes in his Magic Array.
After deciphering the 8th character of the Book of Death, Lin Yun had been trying to use runes to simulate these mysterious characters. Lin Yun had already made some progress in Edge Canyon, but his efforts were ruined by Rieser's recklessness. Thus, Lin Yun spent a few more days on this.
Fortunately, with his previous experience, Lin Yun's simulation wasn't as difficult as before. Today, when the caravan was about to enter the Four Seasons Canyon, Lin Yun finally made a breakthrough in close combat. The first mysterious character was successfully simulated by Lin Yun.
In order to simulate this character, Lin Yun used over a thousand runes. If they were used to establish a spell matrix, it would be at least a 7th Tier Spell. In other words, this was already the power of an Archmage.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun didn't have the time to experience this kind of power. As soon as he finished the simulation, Lin Yun threw this mysterious character into his Magic Array. The nine Magic Arrays revolved at the same time and instantly memorized this mysterious character.
It turned out that Lin Yun's choice was correct.
Just as the Magic Array finished memorizing the runes, the mysterious character simulated by over a thousand runes collapsed and returned to its original rune state.
Nothing could be done about it, the power of these mysterious characters was too high. Three characters could open a Planar Path, two characters could complete positioning, and the last two characters could be used for teleportation. Even Lin Yun had never heard of such power.
Lin Yun even suspected that this wasn't a power that Noscent should have.
Even with Lin Yun's abilities, he could only try countless times and rely on luck to find an opportunity to use his own runes to simulate this mysterious character.
But it was only a simulation.
Lin Yun did his best, but he could only simulate this mysterious character for a short moment before being unable to control it. He could only let this mysterious character revert back to its original rune state.
But to Lin Yun, this short moment was enough.
In a split second, the Magic Array had already memorized that character, and the rest would be a lot simpler. The Magic Array's formidable computing ability would slowly decipher that character, and it would ultimately be able to merge that character with the Magic Array.
In fact, the Magic Array had already started doing so.
Lin Yun could clearly feel the nine Magic Arrays within his body operating at full speed, constantly mobilizing a huge amount of mana. After all, the Magic Array was the Magic Array because it was a complete system. Even if a mage didn't provide mana, the Magic Array could still operate very well. This was fundamentally different from other Magic Conducting Runes.
But now, the Magic Array, as a complete system, was mobilizing such a huge amount of mana. From this, it could be seen how frightening this mysterious character was.
'Now, I can only wait …' After confirming that the Magic Array was working properly, Lin Yun felt relieved. Now, he could leave everything to the Magic Array. The only thing Lin Yun had to do was wait patiently.
And that would be a very, very long wait.
This mysterious character had been simulated using over a thousand runes. Its complexity even surpassed a 7th Tier Spell Matrix. Even if the Magic Array's computing ability was formidable, it wouldn't be able to complete the calculation in a short time. After all, the Magic Array Lin Yun had was only in its original form.
Unless Lin Yun could immediately step into the High Mage realm and fuse the nine Magic Arrays into one. At that time, the Magic Array would undergo a true transformation, pushing the already frightening computing ability to an even more shocking level.
The next two days of travel were still boring. After the initial formation, the leaders of the eight major forces of Thousand Sails City no longer frequently went to Lin Yun's carriage. Now, only acquaintances like Solomon and Cadgar would climb into Lin Yun's carriage. Sauss would occasionally come over to take a look.
But to be honest, Sauss was quite afraid of Lin Yun. Moreover, William Merlin still harbored a grudge against him after being betrayed by him. He was now next to him and would misinterpret his words from time to time, scaring Sauss to the point of sweating profusely. After a few times, he gradually didn't dare to come again.
With no one bothering Lin Yun, he was happy to be left alone. He gave pointers to William Merlin's Crimson Heart Meditation Law Set while secretly paying attention to the changes in the Draconic Beastman. The days could be considered quite fulfilling.
A spirit mana crystal was indeed a spirit mana crystal. It had only been two days since the Draconic Beastman wore that silver necklace, and a faint magic pattern had already appeared on his arm. This also meant that Xiuban was no longer a simple Highland Beastman. The casting ability brought about by the Draconic Bloodline was gradually appearing on his body.
But Xiuban was far from being proficient in this kind of casting ability.
"I'll say it again, focus!" After a whole day of dawdling, Lin Yun was already a bit angry.
Beastmen were Beastmen. Whether it was a Highland Beastman or any other Beastman, they couldn't be praised when it came to magic. Xiuban, with his Draconic Bloodline, could be considered blessed by the heavens? But Xiuban hadn't been able to master such an innate magic pattern even after an entire day.
If this had happened to a human mage, he would have already found a block of tofu and killed himself.
"Sir, I'm only a Highland Beastman …" The problem was that Xiuban didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. How could a Highland Beastman be focused? Usually, they would pick up their weapons and randomly slash. What? What if you can't win? Can't you mount a sneak attack? Can't you play dead? Can't you surrender? Okay, you definitely aren't a Highland Beastman!
"…" The excuse of being a Highland Beastman was too useful. Lin Yun almost couldn't breathe.
In the end, Lin Yun thoroughly lost his patience.
"Syudos!"
"Sir, I'll focus!" When the Upper Rank Flame Spirit appeared, the Draconic Beastman immediately knew that the situation wasn't good.
Unfortunately, it was too late …
"Syudos, take my place and tell this Highland Beastman what it means to focus!" After saying that, Lin Yun closed his eyes once again and entered a deep meditation state.
As for how the Draconic Beastman screamed and howled, Lin Yun didn't have time to care.
Early the next morning, when Lin Yun opened his eyes, he saw the dying Draconic Beastman looking at him with a pained expression.
"Drink this first." Lin Yun shook his head and raised his hand to throw a bottle of Health Potion. After seeing Xiuban drink it, he was about to ask him about the results of the night, when he suddenly felt the carriage stop.
"Merlin, we are here!" Solomon's voice then echoed.
"We arrived at the Four Seasons Canyon?" Lin Yun opened the door and jumped out of the carriage. He saw a rugged path that was very narrow and could only fit one person at a time. There were steep cliffs on both sides, damp moss, and messy weeds. With one glance, it could be seen that this was a desolate place.
"Let's go in first." Solomon walked in front, following the rugged path towards the depths of the Four Seasons Canyon while turning to tell Lin Yun, "The main forces of the major forces arrived three days ago. They have already established camps in the Four Seasons Canyon and are trying to explore, but the situation is a bit bad …"
"Oh?" Lin Yun suddenly frowned. In his memory, the Four Seasons Canyon was a barren desert. As long as they didn't get close to Vaughn's laboratory, there would be no danger. Why did it sound like danger was lurking in every corner from Solomon's words?
"The magical beasts inside are very powerful. Level-17 and 18 magical beasts can be seen everywhere, and there are also quite a few level-20 and above …" At this point, Saruman slowed down a little. "Moreover, some of the plants here seem to have mutated and are very ferocious. Be it magical beasts or humans, once they are entangled by those mutated plants, almost no one can return alive …"
"Plants?" Lin Yun was startled.
'What's going on? Magic beasts are one thing, but why are there plants?
'Could it be that after coming to this era for a year, my memory finally started making mistakes?'
'But there shouldn't be such a big mistake …'
He clearly remembered that Vaughn's laboratory was discovered 1,700 years later. At that time, the development of alchemy had already entered its golden age. Great alchemists started emerging one after another. Within the borders of the Andalusia Kingdom, there were four alchemists that successfully became Saint Alchemists, and there were no less than a dozen Artisans. The first one to break into Vaughn's laboratory was an Artisan from Okland Magic School.
It was clearly written in that Artisan's notes that the Four Seasons Canyon was a barren desert with no greenery to be seen from the south to the north. Vaughn's laboratory was buried under this barren desert, and the Artisan and his team spent half a year to excavate it.
'Hold on, time …'
As he thought of this, Lin Yun suddenly stopped.
'That's right, time!'
There were still more than 1,700 years until that Artisan discovered Vaughn's laboratory. Something must have happened in these 1,700 years for the Four Seasons Canyon, which was filled with ferocious magic beasts and mutated plants, to turn into a barren desert, even burying the entire laboratory.
