Thus, Lin Yun very carefully read – Explanations of the Max Formula –.

He was turning through the pages far slower than he had been when he browsed – Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm –.

As Lin Yun would soon enter the Bone Plane, every battle that Max fought against the undead was worthy of his attention, even if they weren't Bone Devils. Nothing guaranteed that after Lin Yun put an end to the Bone Devils and occupied the Nether Iron Vein, he wouldn't come across other kinds of undead.

While Lin Yun was conscientiously browsing through – Explanations of the Max Formula –, Solon suddenly looked toward the entrance of the library as a shadow flashed past. After some time, someone beckoned to him from the entrance.

”...” Solon suddenly shook, as that person was clearly Solomon.

Why would an esteemed High Mage act like a thief...

Solon came out of the library, filled with questions. When he arrived at the door, he was pulled aside by Solomon, who asked, ”Is that person reading – Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm –?”

”Yes… What's wrong…” Solon felt a bit strange. Someone reading – Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm – shouldn't gather so much attention from a High Mage…

”It's not important!”

”...”

”Don't mind it, you leave first.” Seeing that Solon wanted to ask a question, Solomon hurriedly waved his hand and drove his only disciple away.

How could he tell his disciple that he had only come to the library to find out the young mage's opinion on – Magic Conducting Rune Creation Paradigm –? He wouldn't be able to keep his prestige as a teacher if he did.

This seemed very ridiculous, an esteemed High Mage coming to the library while sneaking like a thief to try to find out what a young mage thought of a particular book. If this spread out, who would believe it?

But the problem was that it really was the case...

Recently, the mages of the kingdom had been fervently discussing those four pieces of information that he had submitted. That information might likely prove the Fanrusen Formula's mistakes. It was just that these mages still only knew that this information had come from the Mage Guild of Thousand Sails City, from the disciple of Star Sage Jouyi, Solomon.

But Solomon knew that this had all come from a young mage named Mafa Merlin that was about twenty years old. He had been a failure of a Magic Apprentice that was unable to form his Mana Whirlpool a few months ago.

But Solomon never said anything publicly...

It wasn't because Solomon wanted to take credit for proving the mistakes of the Fanrusen Formula, but rather because Solomon knew that even if he explained the truth, no one would believe it. The facts were too strange and ridiculous. If ten people heard it, then all ten of them would consider it a joke.

Let alone others, even Solomon, who had experienced it himself, didn't dare to believe it.

For this reason, he probed the young mage's breadth of knowledge during the Black Horn Auction.

In the Sage Tower's box, the two had a long discussion.

At that time, Solomon didn't show anything on his face, but his mind was already in shock.

Solomon had realized that this young mage was a person who could actually discuss magic with him on a deep level...

Although Solomon took the initiative to bring up the topic, wanting to probe him by any means, the other side seemed to know what he was trying to do, and would be careful not to overdo it.

But he was able to reach the core of any topic with just a few sentences.

Indeed, it was that kind of feeling.

No matter how complicated or challenging the topic was, it felt as if that young mage only needed a few words to make it sound much more understated, to the point that it even made Solomon feel the misconception that the topics he chose were that simple.

But once Solomon returned and thought carefully about it, he was startled. These weren't topics that could be casually understood and solved. Even he himself, as a respected High Mage, would need a few years or perhaps even a dozen years to solve all of them, yet that young mage was able to grasp the key points.

Solomon remembered very clearly that when he asked some questions, that young mage seemed a bit absent-minded, but when he started talking, it hit the core of the matter. That felt like a kind of frightening instinct, a subconscious action.
