48 Magic Array (1/2)

”Yes, I just advanced.”

”...” Solon stood there in a daze for a long time before he could recover from the shock.

For some time, his mood was quite complicated. Thinking about it, when this young mage called Merlin came to the Sage Tower, he had just formed his Mana Whirlpool. He could barely be called a 1st Rank Mage at that point. But it hadn't been a few months yet and he was already ready to engrave a Magic Conducting Rune, ready to step into the ranks of the Great Mages.

'When I worked to become a Great Mage, I spent ten years!'

It wasn't bad, but compared to him, Solon wanted to curse...

As he stood there, Solon very much wanted to ask whether he was a human or something else...

”Mage Solon, Mage Solon…” Seeing Solon being silent for such a long time while just staring, Lin Yun couldn't help calling his name twice.

”Ah, nothing, nothing…” After being brought back to his senses, Solon hid the grief and indignation, and in order to cover up the fact that he had forgotten himself, he promptly looked for the two books that Lin Yun had asked about.

He was Solomon's disciple. If another mage saw such a situation, a shadow might be cast over their heart, influencing their future on the path of magic.

From 1st Rank Mage to Great Mage in a few months, this wasn't something a human could do...

The two books Lin Yun was looking for weren't very rare, and after some time, Solon found them and handed them over, reminding him, ”I heard Teacher say that this Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm recently stirred quite a controversy…”

”Yes, I know.” Lin Yun nodded, not going into any more detail.

– Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm – was a very controversial book. Lin Yun already knew that, in fact, some ten thousand years later, this book would be mentioned by those mages at the pinnacle, and as a textbook on what not to do, because it had way too many mistakes.

But in this era, the research of the Magic Conducting Runes was far from mature enough, so the controversy could only be felt by the mages at the top.

Moreover, even they could only feel it, nothing more...

No one could point out what exactly was wrong.

In this era, the only one able to raise an issue was Lin Yun.

Lin Yun closed his eyes and estimated the number of errors that would appear in this book. Lin Yun clearly knew why such errors would appear and how they would be corrected from his time in the decaying library.

But Lin Yun didn't come to play ”find the differences” today.

The matter of finding out the mistakes would be left for the mages of the future.

Lin Yun came today to find a typical Magic Conducting Rune that had been repeatedly mentioned by those powerful mages in this book.

The name of that Magic Conducting Rune was Magic Array.

Of course, this was a name that would only be attributed to this Magic Conducting Rune ten thousand years later. In this era, people knew of that Magic Conducting Rune as the Discarded Rune, or the Worthless Rune.

The first time it was called this was in – Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm –, where the Magic Array was used as a teaching example to show various negative things. The author pointed to the Magic Array and emphasized how important it was to build the Magic Array properly. If not carefully created, it would become a Discarded Rune later.

This was also the only method for Lin Yun to build the correct Magic Array.

Just building a Magic Array wasn't difficult, but managing to create a complete Magic Array was a whole different story. Let alone now, even at the peak of the magic civilization, there were no more than five mages that had a complete Magic Array. Moreover, these five mages never passed down the Magic Array as their inheritance.
