The First Mage

To be honest, Palin was somewhat proud.

It's just that this kind of pride is not enough at certain times. I am a mage anyway, but now it is often useless. It is wrong to say that Palin has a thick skin, at least sometimes, Palin is still eager for Lynch's strength...

It would be nice to say that I can reach Lynch's level...

"Damn it, it seems that after returning to Oakland College, we must devote ourselves to studying and strive to catch up with Lynch's progress as soon as possible..." Palin muttered secretly in his heart.

A day and a night of silence followed.

During this day and night, Lynch counted without sleep and food, and almost never stopped to rest, and Palin's nerves were always tense. After such a long time, even he felt a little tired. As for Lynch, Undoubtedly more tired, and even his face turned slightly pale.

Palin wanted to remind Lynch more than once to stop and take a break, but he reminded him once before, and all he got back was a cold look from Lynch. Immediately, Palin didn't dare to say anything more. Speaking of which, when Lynch calculates these things, his temper really becomes extremely irritable...

But this is not surprising.

For example, Hawking, like other archmages, once they are disturbed by outsiders when doing calculations, their temper is probably no better than Lynch. Palin is already used to it, including the one who always has a warm smile Hawking, when the calculation process was interrupted by an outsider, he almost broke that person's arm with a cold face...

However, it has been a day and a night, and Perrin really can't figure out what happened to Lynch's calculations, whether he has made a breakthrough, whether he has penetrated the mystery of the Rita symbol ?

Looking at Lynch's draft paper that was still all over the ground, Palin was not sure. It stands to reason that if the calculation process went smoothly, he would continue to calculate steadily at any rate, instead of constantly throwing it down like Lynch. Abandoned scratch paper, which does not fit the normal calculation process.

Could it be that after such a long time, his calculations still haven't made any breakthroughs?

Perrin couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded at the thought, didn't he? Could it be that the Rita symbol is really so profound that even an alchemist like Lynch can hardly make any breakthroughs?

In fact, although most of Perrin's ideas were wrong, but this time, he really guessed right...

Although it has been a long time, Lynch is really annoyed now, not for anything else, just because his calculations have never had a critical breakthrough, and he does not know why, his own calculation process, It keeps breaking off suddenly.

If it was interrupted at the third step and the tenth step, Lynch might not feel so disgusted, but the problem now is that every time Lynch gets stuck, it is the first step of calculation, in other words, after a day and a night of calculation At that time, Lynch didn't even cross the first threshold.

"Damn it, it won't be so difficult..." To be honest, at the beginning, Lynch was quite confident about his alchemy level, but this kind of confidence, in front of the Rita symbol, can be said to have been beaten. Broken to the core, after countless failed attempts, Lynch now faintly has less and less confidence in himself.

After another failed calculation and throwing down a piece of discarded draft paper, Lynch finally couldn't help throwing down all the draft paper in his hand: "Damn, I can't figure it out."

At this moment, a deep sense of frustration shrouded Lynch's heart. If he was not really desperate, Lynch would never say such dejected words under normal circumstances, but now, Lynch had to say it because His alchemy level is far from being able to completely decipher the Rita symbol.

Deciphering the Rita symbol and translating the elven text are two completely different concepts. To translate the elven text, one only needs to know the meaning of a certain word, but the Rita symbol requires insight into the mysteries of all symbols. Find a way to crack it from inside, and finally overthrow the entire Rita symbol.

It can be said that there is a huge gap between the two, and the difference in difficulty is not even a little bit. Just look at Lynch's current situation. It can be said that he is not so weak when translating elven words.

But when facing the Rita symbol, Lynch really felt a sense of despair...

"Ah? Failed?" Although he had guessed for a long time that Lynch might not have made any progress, but hearing this sentence from Lynch's mouth, Palin couldn't help being dumbfounded: "How could it be, how could it be Even you can't break it?"

"I'm not omnipotent. This Rita symbol is too esoteric, and I can't decipher it with my current alchemy level." Lynch shook his head.

"Then what to do, if you can't decipher it, wouldn't we be able to go out?" Perrin stared at the dark environment around him in horror. Lynch couldn't decipher the Rita symbol, which meant that they would be trapped in this road. Endless corridors, until death, was definitely not what Palin wanted to see.

Lynch is naturally aware of this.

But at this moment, Lynch didn't know what to say. It wasn't that he didn't want to crack the Rita symbol. In fact, he was more urgent than Palin, otherwise he wouldn't have wasted so much time, but sometimes it was a waste of time. Time does not necessarily pay off.

Now looking at the Rita symbol on the wall, Lynch is really powerless.

"It seems that we can only think of another way." Lynch sighed, since they couldn't crack the Rita symbol, they had to use other ways to leave the cave.

However, that hope seems slim...

After all, in the relevant historical records, no one can successfully go out without cracking the Rita symbol. The Rita symbol itself is like a huge closed cage. If you haven’t broken this Before the cage, it was almost impossible to get out safely.

However, Lynch has no choice now. If he can't find another way, it will be the same as what Palin said, and he can only wait here to die...

"Huh? There seems to be a vibration?" Just when Lynch was having a headache, he suddenly felt a tremor.

Not only he felt it, but Perrin also felt it. The whole cave seemed to be shaking, not just a simple tremor, even gravel and powder were constantly falling from the top of the cave.
