Section 2547 Decryption

From the perspective of the naked eye, this alchemical blueprint is only a thin layer. But in the eyes of wizards who understand magic patterns, they can see two layers of magic patterns of different properties stacked together.

These two layers of magic patterns are intertwined, sometimes emerging and sometimes hiding.

One layer of magic patterns is the real alchemical pattern; and the other layer of magic patterns is a "lock".

To see the true face of this alchemical blueprint, you must unlock this intertwined "lock".

This kind of "lock" is very common on alchemical blueprints in ancient times. It is a kind of protection measure for alchemists at that time to their original works.

Nowadays, the alchemy circle of Sky Mechanical City has undertaken most of the copyright protection, and this kind of "lock" has gradually disappeared.

Inger had only seen records of this kind of "lock" in books before, and this was the first time he saw a "lock" with his own eyes.

This "lock" uses the alchemical magic pattern of the enchantment system, so it is best to let the enchantment alchemist to unlock it. Of course, with Lord Aesop's attainments in magic patterns, there is a chance that he can unlock this "lock". However, this "lock" is a bit special. Once the order of decryption is wrong, the alchemical drawings will be directly self-destructed. Therefore, Lord Aesop did not rashly solve it, which led to Angel's mission.

Before decryption, Angel had already seen the overall situation, but when he really started, he was still very cautious.

At the beginning, decryption was not difficult, but as time went on, multiple entanglements began to appear in the places where the engraving pen was needed to continue. In other words, the alchemical lines and the decryption lines are intertwined, and there are often multiple forks.

It is not too difficult to simply distinguish between alchemical lines and decryption lines. The most difficult thing is that the decryption lines will also be mixed together, and there will be multiple forks, which requires Angel to judge which decryption line comes first and which decryption line comes later.

It sounds like it is just a judgment of the order of precedence, and the difficulty seems to be just that. But in fact, this requires Angel to perform quite tedious calculations in his mind, and he has to perform multiple calculations, and finally confirm that it is correct before he dares to write.

The energy and effort consumed here are definitely not something that can be described in one or two sentences.

From Angel's full forehead of sweat, you can see how difficult it is to decrypt.

......

"Three hours have passed." At this time, Kael, who was next door, looked at the direction of the cave where Angel was, and said with worry.

"Why, do you think the super-dimensional wizard can't complete the decryption?" Dox, who was sitting on the soft sofa with his legs crossed, looked at Kael.

Kael shook his head: "No, Master Super Dimension came from the Research and Development Institute, and his alchemy strength is naturally unquestionable. It's just... I'm worried about the mental attack on the blueprint."

Even Lord Aesop only persisted for half an hour, and Angel had been facing the alchemy blueprint for three hours. I don't know if there will be any problems.

Dox pondered for a moment: "This is indeed worrying. However, when he faced the alchemical blueprint before, he was completely calm, so he should have a strategy to deal with it."

"Besides, this is just a trivial task for him. If he really can't cope with it, he can just give up. Even if the alchemical blueprint is destroyed, do you dare to ask him for compensation?"

Kael said a little embarrassedly: "Your Excellency is right..."

If it is really destroyed, there is nothing we can do. He certainly doesn't dare to say no.

However, what Dox said gave Kael some confidence. Angel will definitely not do anything beyond his ability. If it is really difficult, just give up. Now three hours have passed, and Angel has not appeared yet, which means that at least for now, everything is still under Angel's control.

......

The guess of the two people next door is actually correct. Indeed, the simple decryption is still under Angel's control.

However, decryption itself is not difficult, but what Angel did not expect is that the decryption on this alchemy drawing is layered. The person who drew this drawing must be full of evil taste. At first glance, it may only take a few hours, or even half an hour to solve it.

But after really starting to decrypt, I found the sinister intentions of the painter. There are too many traps in it, and many puzzles are hidden under the alchemy magic pattern, which makes it impossible to find them when observing. Only when decrypting can you know how complicated they are.

Long-term decryption consumes Angel's mind very much. He can only free up his magic hand and constantly feed himself with potions to replenish energy.

Although these potions are not expensive, they are large in quantity, and accumulating them is also a great consumption.

Seeing the empty potion bottles around him pile up higher and higher, Angel's spirit also rose.

Decryption tasks and alchemy tasks should obviously be separated, and decryption tasks are probably more difficult than alchemy tasks!

As a result, Aesop only issued an alchemy task, and the decryption was just mentioned briefly, as if there was no difficulty. This is information asymmetry, and it is a big loss!

After returning, I must ask Aesop for reimbursement!

While gritting my teeth and cursing in my heart, I have to control the stability of my hands and continue to decrypt.

Time keeps passing in this situation.

......

Twelve hours later, Kael was already a little drowsy, and suddenly, the space node around him became abnormal.

At the same time, a voice with a strong dissatisfaction came through the space node: "Come in!"

Kael couldn't help but trembled, his neck stiffened, and he turned to look at Doakes.

Doakes shrugged, indicating that it had nothing to do with me, and at the same time, there was an expression on his face that he was watching a good show.

Thinking about it, originally, the abnormal space node alerted Kael, but Angel also made a special sound, which shows that Angel was very angry at this time.

This was the first time since Doakes met Angel that he could feel Angel's emotional ups and downs so clearly.

It can be seen that Angel is really angry this time.

But Doakes was also puzzled. What was so exciting about decryption? Or is there a pit here?

Thinking of this, Doakes pushed Kael: "Hurry up, I want you to go in."

Doakes couldn't hide the look on his face as he watched the show. But Kael was a little scared. After all, he was a researcher and rarely faced the wrath of an official wizard.

But listening to Angel's voice at this time, he knew that his mood was not right, and his feet were so stunned that he could not move forward.

"It's going to happen anyway, and you can't hide from it. Besides, it doesn't necessarily mean it will be a bad thing."

Kael looked at Doakes silently: Don't you feel guilty if you speak without conscience? It's not a bad thing, is it still a good thing? !

Seeing that Kael was still trembling, Doakes wanted to know what happened so much that he had no choice but to say: "In this way, if he wants to kill you, I will help you stop him and protect you from death."

Kael: "Really?"

Doakes: "Believe in my character."

Kael really wanted to say that Doakes' character was worthless. But there is nothing we can do now, as Doakes said, we have to go anyway.

Kael sighed, trembling his legs, and took steps towards the cave.

Doakes immediately followed him. As for his words of guaranteeing that Kael would not die, they were really just words. He knew very well that even if Angor was really angry, he would not kill Kael. After all, there was Aesos behind him, and Aesos was a close friend of Reinmut, the leader of the Savage Cave.

Therefore, Kael will definitely not be killed, but I don’t know if Angel has the habit of abusing people?

It would be so interesting to see the scene in the princess's room. Thinking of this, Doakes couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and felt itchy in his heart. Maybe he would give Angel some ideas?

Soon, Kael and Doakes arrived at the door of the cave.

"Come in." Angel's voice came from inside.

Compared to just now, this voice was obviously much calmer, just like usual, without revealing too much emotion. This made Kael feel a little less worried.

However, at this time Doakes started to get angry again: "Kael, you know, the calmer some people are, the more suppressed their anger is. On the contrary, those who express their anger directly are easier to appease."

After hearing this, Kael's legs finally stopped shaking and started to shake again.

Doakes was secretly happy.

No matter what, when you get here, you still have to open the door and enter.

Kael opened the door with the mood to die. As soon as he entered the door, before he could see where Angel was, he felt a breeze blowing on his face.

This gentle breeze is not ordinary, just blowing over the body, the mental fatigue magically disappears.

Accompanying the breeze is the soft light that shines on the body, and the faint fragrance in the air.

Whether it is the breeze, the radiance, or the fragrance, it makes people feel extremely comfortable, as if they are wandering in the moonlight ocean, and every part of the body is being massaged by soft hands...

While Kael was enjoying the sudden comfort, a voice rang in his ear: "Why, it's very comfortable, isn't it?"

As soon as Kael heard this familiar voice, he immediately got excited and raised his head to look at the opposite side.

I saw Angel with a tired face, standing under the faint light. There was a kind of decadent beauty in the interlacing of light and shadow.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Moonlight Praise." At this time, Doakes's voice sounded, accompanied by the "ding, clang" sound of the glass bottles colliding: "How many bottles of Moonlight Praise have been used? Look at the bottle format, some are still It’s a top-level potion.”

Kael followed the sound and saw that Doakes had walked near the table.

Under the table, there are stacks of antibacterial bottles, some of which look ordinary, while others are very gorgeous, and even the bottles are engraved with magic patterns.

Moonlight Salute...Kael remembered Doakes saying the name.

As a person who has been hanging around various wizard fairs all year round, how could he not know the name of Moonlight Praise.

Although this is a low-level potion, it is the top-level potion among the low-level potions. It is extremely valuable, even more than the average mid-level potion. Its effect is to eliminate fatigue and restore mental strength. For ordinary people, even just bathing in the moonlight can increase physical strength.

With Kael's wealth, he could afford a bottle of Moonlight Praise, but... looking at the densely packed potion bottles on the ground, Kael felt that even if he sold himself, he wouldn't be able to afford so much moonlight. Praise.

Moreover, there are also unknown mid-level top-grade potion bottles mixed in, and the prices are sky-high.

"Sir...Sir, these potion bottles..." Kael stuttered, trying to say something.

Angel's expression was calm: "To decrypt."

This simple sentence made Kael's throat choke. The worst result has come. As expected, these valuable potions were only used for decryption.

This means... he has to pay for all these.

Kael felt dizzy, and the next second he collapsed on the ground.

Dox laughed and said, "Let me calculate how many magic crystals were used in this potion, one, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand..."

It seemed that he was deliberately speaking to Kael. Every time he added a certain amount of magic crystals, Dox paused. Kael's expression changed from despair to the final godlessness.

Looking at Kael, whose soul was almost scared to death and had no consciousness, Dox shook his head and said, "Academicians are academicians. Their psychological quality is really poor."

After speaking, Dox came to Angel: "Did you really use so many potions to decrypt this time?"

Even though he was still bathing in the moonlight praise, Angel's face was still obviously tired. This was the result of exhaustion: "I was tricked by Aesop."

Just one sentence, Dox understood.

"Compared to alchemy, this decryption is the most difficult, right?" Although Dox was questioning, his tone was very firm.

Angell only replied with one sentence: "In the entire southern region, no one else can solve it except me."

Maybe it was a bit exaggerated, but Dox believed it, because even Lord Aesop couldn't bear to look at the blueprint for half an hour, and others might not be able to do it.

And Angell not only spent more than ten hours looking at this blueprint, but also spent a lot of effort to calculate and decrypt it. This is definitely not an easy task.

Dox felt that this task was too difficult just thinking about it. Even the seniors in the R&D Institute couldn't complete it.

And as far as Dox knew, the task assigned to Angell by Aesop was just "alchemy".

The most difficult decryption was completely omitted by Aesop.

Angel was trying to solve a simple puzzle, but ended up in hell mode. It's no wonder that Angell was so angry.

If it were Dox, he would have exploded at this time. Maybe he wouldn't even solve the alchemy blueprint.

Hey! Speaking of alchemy blueprints, could Angell really not solve it because of impulse?

Dox asked about it quickly.

Angel: "I spent so many bottles of potion, if I don't solve it, will I be worthy of my potion?"

After Angel said that, he spread out the alchemy drawing casually: "Look for yourself, it has been solved."

Dox turned his eyes quickly, he didn't want to bear the mental impact.

"After solving the external puzzle, it will no longer affect the mental power."

After hearing this, Dox turned his head and looked. Sure enough, the alchemy drawing no longer had any mental impact, and revealed its true face.

A dagger drawing with a very special shape, and there were a lot of magic pattern instructions next to it.

Anyway, Dox couldn't understand it.

"Now that you are going to do this, you have used so many potions. Do you plan to take Kael's life, or do you want to torture him like Modia, and then take his life."

Although Kael on the side had lost his mind, he still heard Dox's words. He just felt dizzy, and it turned out that no matter what choice he made, Dox hoped that Angel would take his life!

Angel did not answer immediately, but thought silently for a moment.

What Angel was thinking about was not how to kill Kael, but what he had gained this time.

Yes, what he had gained.

He did not gain nothing this time. Although a lot of potions were consumed to solve the puzzle, the puzzle itself became Angel's benefit.

When this puzzle was solved, the external magic array was also solved. Angel found that this was a very special magic array, a magic array that was not even recorded in his book "Enchanting Encyclopedia - Perfect Edition".

The effect of this magic array is of course not only used as a "lock", it is to continuously produce mental power shocks on people.

It can be said that this is a very interesting and very threatening magic array.

Angel believes that the wall in the nightmare world is estimated to have a similar magic array effect.

The only drawback is that this magic array is not perfect and cannot adjust the intensity of mental power shocks.

If the intensity of mental power shocks can be adjusted to be comparable to that of the wall in the nightmare world, Angel can completely wear this magic array and use it as a mental power self-propelled artillery to knock down anyone he sees. Even the True Knowledge Wizard, or even Rhine's level, can probably be affected.

Unfortunately, flaws are flaws, and we can only think about it.

However, the wall in the Nightmare Realm Naraku City may have clues to adjust the intensity. If there is a chance, Angel really wants to see it.

"You have been thinking about how to deal with Kael for so long? Otherwise, I will give you some advice, which is guaranteed to be more interesting than Modia's method." Dox said excitedly.

Kael, who was slumped on the ground, had lost all hope in life.
