Thus, Lin Yun read – Detailed Explanations of the Max Formula – very carefully.
The speed at which he flipped the pages was far slower than when he was flipping through – Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm –.
To Lin Yun, who was about to enter the Bone Plane, Max's battles with the undead were worthy of his attention. It didn't matter even if they weren't Bone Devils, because no one could guarantee that after Lin Yun eliminated the Bone Devils and occupied the Nether Iron Vein, he wouldn't encounter any other undead.
Just as Lin Yun was earnestly flipping through – Detailed Explanations of the Max Formula –, Solon suddenly saw a silhouette flash past the entrance of the library. After a long time, that person waved at him through the crack in the door.
"…" Solon suddenly shivered, because that silhouette was clearly Solomon.
An esteemed High Mage, how could he act like a thief …
Solon came out of the library with a dark expression. Just as he reached the entrance, he was pulled to the side by Solomon. "Is that guy looking at Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm?"
"Yeah, what's wrong …" Solon was a bit baffled. A Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm shouldn't make an esteemed High Mage move like that, right?
"It's nothing!"
"…"
"Alright, alright, you can leave first." Seeing that Solon still wanted to ask something, Solomon hurriedly waved his hand and drove away his only disciple.
'What a joke, if my only disciple learns that I came to the library to know what that young mage's opinion was on – Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm –, how could I put on my dignity as a teacher?'
This seemed a bit absurd. An esteemed High Mage sneaking into the library like a thief just to find out what a young mage thought of – Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm –. Who would believe this if it was spread?
But the problem was that this was the truth …
Recently, the mages of the kingdom had been enthusiastically discussing four pieces of data that could very well prove that the "Fanrusen Formula" was wrong. However, the majority of the mages only knew that these four pieces of data came from the Thousand Sails City Guild of Magic, from the disciple of Star Sage Joy, Saruman.
But Solomon knew that those four pieces of data didn't belong to him. They belonged to a young mage who wasn't even twenty years old. That young mage was called Mafa Merlin. A few months ago, he was just a failed Magic Apprentice who couldn't form a mana whirlpool.
However, Saruman never told anyone about it …
It wasn't because Saruman wanted to take the glory of proving the 'Fanrusen Formula' wrong for himself, but rather because Saruman knew that even if he said it, no one would believe him. It was too absurd and too bizarre. If ten people heard it, perhaps ten of them would treat it as a joke.
Not to mention others, even Saruman, who had personally experienced all of this, could not believe it.
For this reason, he'd even probed the Black Horn Auction House.
In the private room of the Black Horn Auction House, the two of them had a long conversation.
At that time, Saruman didn't show anything on his face, but his heart was already in a state of turmoil.
Because Saruman suddenly realized that this was a guy who could directly talk to him through magic.
Although he took the initiative to start a topic and tried every method to probe him, the other side seemed to know what he wanted to do. Every time they talked about a topic, he would stop there, simply not giving him the opportunity to continue.
But with just a few words, he was always able to point out the essence of the problem.
That's right, it was this kind of feeling.
No matter how complicated or difficult the problem was, in the hands of that young mage, it seemed as if he could solve it with just a few words. It was to the point that at that time, even Saruman himself had fallen into an illusion, feeling that this problem should have been that simple.
But when Saruman came back and carefully thought about it, he was immediately startled. This wasn't a problem that could be easily solved. Even as a High Mage, it took him a few years to solve these problems, but how could that young mage be able to grasp the crux of the problem?
Saruman clearly remembered that there were a few times when he asked a question, and the young mage was a little absent-minded, but when he opened his mouth, he was able to hit the key point of the question. That feeling was like a terrifying instinct, a completely subconscious behavior.
This discovery caused Saruman to feel a little cold all over his body …
At that time, Saruman truly believed that those four pieces of data had truly come from that young mage.
And now, it was the same library, the same young mage, and the same millennium-old problem …
Saruman really wanted to know what this young mage thought about the Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm.
Unfortunately, Saruman was disappointed.
After copying the Magic Array's construction method, Lin Yun put down – Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm – and started seriously flipping through – Explanations of the Max Formula –. This made Solomon, who had been waiting outside the door, feel like he had stepped on empty air.
'What the hell …' Saruman waited outside for a long time, but Lin Yun didn't put down – Explanations of the Max Formula –. The High Mage couldn't help inwardly cursing, 'Is he deliberately trying to set himself against me?'
Saruman was very clear about the contents of – Explanations of the Max Formula –. Although it was said to be about the Flame Tyrant's experience in controlling fire magic, there wasn't much relevant content. There were more practical examples. Saruman himself had once described it as "very entertaining".
Logically speaking, there was no need to be so serious about reading such an entertaining magic book.
But this time, Saruman had wrongly accused Lin Yun.
The reason why Lin Yun was so serious wasn't because the Flame Tyrant's experience in controlling fire magic really needed to be studied so seriously. To Lin Yun, he had already thoroughly researched fire magic ten years ago. Even if the Flame Tyrant was resurrected, he might not necessarily be better than Lin Yun in terms of theoretical knowledge.
Lin Yun was studying those practical examples. To be more precise, it was the battles between the Flame Tyrant and the undead.
After all, the one who wrote this book was the disciple of the Flame Tyrant.
Most of the battles that the Flame Tyrant had experienced were personally experienced by the author of this book. This kind of battle was the most important to Lin Yun, especially the battle with the Bone Devil.
– Explanations of the Max Formula – recorded a total of two battles with Bone Devils. The first time was when the Flame Tyrant had already advanced to the High Mage realm and completely crushed a dozen Bone Devils. There was nothing much to say about that battle, but the other time was when the Flame Tyrant was still a 5th Rank Great Mage and encountered a Bone Devil outside Ghost City.
That time, it was a truly fierce battle. Generally speaking, the battle prowess of a Bone Demon was between level-15 to level-19, which was equivalent to a level-5 to level-9 Great Mage. At that time, the author of this book had just started following the Fire Tyrant, and it just so happened that he had personally experienced this battle.
According to his memories, the Bone Devil that the Flame Tyrant had encountered was infinitely close to the High Mage realm. The Flame Tyrant had used almost all of his trump cards, and in the end, he had braved the danger of mana backlash and used a Spiritual Magic Tool to painstakingly get rid of that Bone Devil. That battle was also one of the most dangerous battles of the Flame Tyrant's life.
Such a dangerous battle naturally left a deep impression on that disciple, and the description of that battle was exceptionally detailed. Moreover, what made Lin Yun pleasantly surprised was that this disciple also mentioned that after the Flame Tyrant recalled that battle many years later, he reflected on it and listed some of the mistakes he had made. He even claimed that if he hadn't made those mistakes, he wouldn't have needed to use his Spiritual Magic Tool to get rid of that Bone Devil.
This memory was very meaningful to Lin Yun.
This was tantamount to pointing out a bright path for Lin Yun, a path that would allow Lin Yun to challenge a Bone Devil when he was still a 5th Rank Great Mage.
Thus, Lin Yun was very serious, so serious that he didn't even notice Solomon outside the door.
…
While Lin Yun was reading – Explanations of the Max Formula – in the Sage Tower, the Gilded Rose was also holding an alchemy exhibition.
The contents of that exhibition included four Outstanding Magic Tools, two Enchanted Weapons, as well as a mining puppet named Miner. But the real focus was a potion called "Hope".
That's right, the Hope Potion that could let Magic Apprentices easily reach the 9th Rank.
Following the appearance of the Hope Potion, this small-scale alchemy exhibition immediately caused a sensation in Thousand Sails City.
And the name of the Gilded Rose was remembered by countless people following this alchemy exhibition. Many people started to know that the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce hadn't disappeared after Locke Merlin's death. They still had an alchemy shop in the Victorious Return street called the Gilded Rose. That miraculous potion that could let Magic Apprentices easily reach the 9th Rank was developed by this Gilded Rose.
After doing all that, the old butler smiled and marked the price of the Hope Potion at 200,000 gold coins. He also announced to the public that he only had this one bottle on hand at the moment. After it was sold, the next bottle would only appear for at least a month.
Two hundred thousand golds could only deter some ordinary Magic Apprentices. They didn't have any background or savings, so two hundred thousand golds was an astronomical figure to them. But apart from these ordinary Magic Apprentices, there were many extraordinary Magic Apprentices in Thousand Sails City. Some were the children of the leaders of major forces, while others came from wealthy merchant families. Just like Mafa Merlin, two hundred thousand golds simply couldn't stop them. The only thing they had to worry about was whether they would act fast enough.
