"Turns out it's the Fess Formula …" Lin Yun only smiled after taking the piece of paper. He casually took out a quill from his pocket and started writing on the refining table.
"Pretentious …" Griffith coldly snorted as he looked at Lin Yun with an indescribable disgust.
Originally, Griffith had been disgusted by the young man's boasting. He was clearly in his twenties, yet he was boasting shamelessly that there were two ways to solve the Darkness Evil Python Skin's magic solidification problem.
But now, after the young man said the words "Fess Formula", Griffith's disgust immediately turned into disgust.
Truly ridiculous …
This Mafa Merlin didn't even know the name of the formula …
What Fess Formula …
That formula had been copied by Griffith from the ruins of the 3rd Dynasty thirty years ago. It was clearly written on it, and it was called the Lauren Formula. It was one of the three major formulas personally written by the famous Artisan of the 3rd Dynasty, Lauren, who was known as the Life Alchemist.
But this Mafa Merlin …
Pretending to understand something he didn't understand, saying that it was the Fess Formula …
As he thought of this, Griffith didn't say anything and only sneered at the other side.
At this time, Lin Yun simply didn't notice the change in Griffith's gaze. He was completely focused on deciphering the alchemy formula. To Lin Yun, this level of alchemy formula was nothing to worry about. It only took him a few minutes before he put down the quill and handed the paper back to Griffith.
"Mafa Merlin, right? I want to give you a piece of advice. It's a good thing for a young man to be ambitious and want to become famous, but sometimes, you will disregard everything for the sake of fame, even losing respect for the knowledge of the wise sages. This is a bit excessive …" Griffith didn't rush to look at the paper, instead sighing with flagging interest.
"Eh, Master Alchemist Griffith, can you take a look first?"
"Hehe, look, what are you looking at? Look at how you pretend to know what you don't know and how you spout nonsense? "Alright, Mafa Merlin, you don't even know the name of this formula, what qualifications do you have to show me …"
"Hmm?" Lin Yun was stunned for a moment. That's impossible. This old man really gave me the Fess Formula.
This was something that Lin Yun was quite certain of …
Lin Yun might be mistaken about other things, but the Fess Formula was one of the few formulas that could be used for physical enchantments. This was a very important technique at the end of the Magic Era. It didn't need to rely on mana, it only needed to rely on physical attacks to complete the enchantment. Lin Yun had used it more than once to deal with Sand Beasts, so how could he be mistaken about the Fess Formula?
"To tell you the truth, the Fess Formula you are talking about should be called the Lauren Formula. It was the work of the famous Artisan of the 3rd Dynasty, the one who was once a classmate of Emperor Zhantui and the Gaugass King. What Fess Formula? What a joke. Alchemists who don't understand aren't scary, what's scary is pretending to understand …"
After saying this, the old man didn't spare a glance at Lin Yun. He casually threw the piece of paper on the ground and turned to leave the laboratory.
'Lauren Formula, Lauren Formula …' Lin Yun repeated it twice before suddenly slapping his forehead. 'Damn, how could I forget this …'
This was a huge misunderstanding …
The Lauren Formula and the Fess Formula were actually the same formula …
It was just a different name.
This was simply a joke played by history …
But the specific truth was something that only Lin Yun knew in this era.
It couldn't be explained in a short time …
Lin Yun looked at the old man, who had already reached the laboratory's entrance. He could only say from afar, "Whether it is the Lauren Formula or the Fess Formula, the seven variables will never change. The key to cracking this formula is to calculate the seven variables. This shouldn't be too difficult …"
"Hmm?"
Griffith, who had already reached the laboratory's entrance, suddenly stopped.
"In fact, it's just an application of the five-colored theorem. It's not as complicated as I thought."
"What did you say?" The old man fiercely turned his head and looked at Lin Yun with a fixed gaze. He stared at Lin Yun for no less than ten seconds before suddenly walking over and bending down to pick up the piece of paper that he had personally thrown on the ground. He impatiently looked at it at a very fast speed.
As he looked at it, the old man's expression suddenly changed.
At first, he was only a little surprised, but as he read on, his surprise turned into shock. Then, his entire face was filled with disbelief. As he looked at the thin piece of paper, he shook his head vigorously. "Impossible, impossible, how could it be so simple …"
Lin Yun spent less than five minutes deciphering this formula.
But the old man spent no less than twenty minutes reading it.
After twenty minutes, the pale old man let out a long sigh and slowly put the piece of paper back on the refining table. He then bitterly smiled. "But why don't you know that it is called the Lauren Formula?"
"Because a few millennia ago, Sir Lauren, known as the Life Alchemist, had a disciple called Fess. Fess, the Wind Sage who would personally kill the Dark Phoenix a hundred years later. Don't tell me you haven't noticed that this alchemy formula is completely different from Roger's style …"
"You mean …" Doubt appeared on Griffith's face.
After thinking about it, it seemed a bit strange …
The style of this alchemy formula was completely different from Lauren's other two alchemy formulas.
'Could it be …'
"Haha, this is very normal. If you had researched the history of the 3rd Dynasty, you would have found out that there were many bad practices in that era. For example, after an alchemist accepted a teacher, all the results of their research would be put under their teacher's name within thirty years. You can see from Lauren's will. Before dying, Lauren repeatedly said that he owed Fess and left all his inheritance to Fess. This debt, haha …"
"This … Could this be only your guess?" To the meticulous Griffith, a sage like the Life Alchemist Lauren was like an idol that couldn't be doubted or blasphemed. Even if Lin Yun's words were reasonable, the old man couldn't help doubting him.
"Regarding this point, I actually have some evidence, but I don't have enough time today. If Master Alchemist Griffith is interested, I can discuss this with you after I solve the enchantment of the Darkness Evil Python Skin. What do you think?"
"Good, good …" Griffith repeatedly nodded. But after nodding, he suspiciously looked at Lin Yun and asked, "Merlin, can you really solve the enchantment of the Darkness Evil Python Skin?"
"Haha, as I said, I have two methods …"
"…"
"Uncle Griffith …" Seeing that the old man was still doubtful, Suyass couldn't sit still and whispered in Griffith's ear with a strange expression, "Merlin's alchemy skills are actually above mine …"
"What!?" Griffith almost jumped up.
Better than Suyass …
Although Griffith could be considered Suyass' teacher in the field of alchemy, this irascible and inflexible old man knew that Suyass had already surpassed him in the field of alchemy. He had already entered the ranks of peak Master Alchemists a few years ago.
But now, this peak Master Alchemist was saying that Mafa Merlin's alchemy skills were even better than his own.
Wouldn't that mean that he wasn't far from the Artisan realm?
This …
Griffith was truly dumbstruck. This was too outrageous. The youth before him was at most in his early twenties, and he wasn't even as old as his own disciple's disciple …
Yet he was already a peak Master Alchemist not far from the Artisan realm!
'Am I crazy, or is this world crazy?'
"He … He isn't your disciple?" Griffith asked with a strange expression.
"Eh, Uncle Griffith, don't joke around …" Suyass was startled when he heard this. 'You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want …'
The temperament of the person before him wasn't very good …
In this aspect, I'm about the same as you, old man.
'You should have heard of the Black Tower's Herman. Not only does he have the frightening ability of the Devouring Hand, he also has the Evil Dragon Eye, a True Spirit Magic Tool. But if he wasn't careful and offended him, wouldn't he be out of luck? He should still be in the laboratory downstairs, being tortured by that strange Ghost Wolf.
'It doesn't matter if you talk nonsense, but don't cause trouble for me …'
"Looks like he really isn't your disciple …" Griffith had lived for over a hundred years. Although he was inflexible and irascible, he still had the ability to read people's expressions. Seeing the fear on Suyass' face, he knew that he had guessed wrong. How could a teacher be so afraid of his disciple?
But after thinking about it, he still felt that it was outrageous. "How could there be such a young peak Master Alchemist …"
"Haha, I also don't understand."
While Lin Yun was giving the two pieces of paper to a Great Alchemist, Griffith continued whispering to Suyass, "Is there really such a genius in this world? He only used a trifling twenty years to walk a path that many alchemists wouldn't necessarily be able to walk in a few lifetimes. Isn't this a bit too excessive? "
"Yes, Teacher values him very much. If not for the incident at the Golden Forest Plane, Teacher would have personally waited for him to come over. I reckon that Teacher wants to bring him to the Starry Sky Academy …"
"That's right, the Starry Sky College … Those old monsters might be interested in him. That's right, that must be it …"
