"Professor Lin, what should we do now?"
After the security team evacuated, Pierce, Darren and others all looked worried. Although the attackers had been dealt with by Lynn, no one knew whether there would be a second such attack, and no one knew whether they would become the next target.
"Or we can take the airship back to Yieta!" Lydia suggested, raising her hand high.
Everyone present suddenly felt their eyes light up. Running away was undoubtedly a good choice. After all, they would not return to Yieta, and these people would still chase them, right? However, Philip, Kevin, and Orlando shook their heads. Lin En had just been awarded a medal a few days ago, and even became a member of the Magic Council. He was the focus of everyone's attention and a rising star in the magic world! If he was scared and fled when Green Riel was in danger because of an attack, it would definitely be a huge blow to Lin En's reputation.
You know, the identity of a magic councillor not only represents rights, but also has corresponding responsibilities! "Why don't we take the initiative and kill all those wizards from the Doomsday Sect?" Alok said excitedly.
Compared to Philip and others who are always cautious, Alok is full of energy and believes more in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Of course, the most important thing is that he has learned magic for so long but has never had a chance to show it.
"No, we will do nothing. We will just strengthen the protection of the manor and leave the rest to the parliament to investigate." Lynn shook his head and rejected the two's proposal.
Judging from the soul restriction found in the attacker's mind before, this matter is likely to involve a great wizard, who is not an opponent he can deal with now.
But as Philip and others thought, leaving now would be tantamount to giving up most of the achievements made in the publication of the theory of universal gravitation.
Lynn said a few words to comfort everyone, and then he and the other professors set up trigger magic in some key places in the manor to prevent anyone from sneaking in again.
The two attackers were not that powerful, but the magic that could evade vision was too strange. Once discovered, they were no more difficult to deal with than a regular wizard.
The congressmen who were attacked one after another were probably killed without any resistance because the wizard land had been peaceful for a long time and their vigilance had been reduced to the extreme.
As for the dagger that could break the [Mage Shield], Lin En collected it as a trophy, and at the same time he was also thinking about whether he should study a witchcraft similar to heat induction.
Using magic wave echolocation to determine the enemy's position is a good idea, but he can't keep releasing this magic all the time.
…
In the next few days, while Lin En was thinking about how to crack the visual magic, Tik and others were immersed in the ocean of mathematical Olympiad and could not extricate themselves. They knew nothing about the attack in Greenrill City, but they had successfully solved all the fifteen mathematical Olympiad problems.
Some of them are specifically designed to test your computing power, while others are simply logical deduction questions, but the majority of them require you to deduce the corresponding solution formula based on some kind of mathematics.
According to Lin En's previous estimate, it would take at least a week for these wizards to figure out all the answers, but he obviously underestimated these people's enthusiasm for the Mathematical Olympiad.
In less than three days, someone figured out all the answers, and Lin En sent out the corresponding [Mystic Ring] as instructed.
In order to find these values, he spent three and a half days without sleep. He was deeply immersed in the process of exploring the unknown, and was also shocked by the strong logic of Olympian mathematics.
Tik vaguely felt that he had touched upon something called Olympiad thinking - that is, to find the corresponding rules, summarize them into Olympiad formulas, and finally solve the problems.
This is a bit like the research and development process of magic.
It took him ten hours to solve the first problem, five hours for the second, and only four hours for the third.
Once your mind is opened, those seemingly extremely complex and tedious questions will become particularly simple by simply performing some logical reasoning and changing your way of thinking.
However, even though he got all the answers, Tik still had a lot of doubts in his mind and couldn't wait to have a good communication with a true master of Olympiad mathematics.
I was even more curious about what kind of problem could actually trouble a master of Olympiad mathematics! Tik solemnly put away the manuscript on the table, and without even bothering to wash up, he casually cast a dust removal magic, and after replenishing some of his energy through an hour of meditation, he hurried to Lin En's manor.
To his surprise, the person in charge of reception was Philip, a professor of elemental studies at Iyeta College. After checking Tick's manuscript and confirming that the answer was correct, Philip handed over a [Ring of Mysticism].
Tik took it and pretended not to care, and asked casually, "I wonder if I am the first person to figure out the answer."
It took him about 75 hours to solve the 15 problems. Tik felt that his speed was unique, which was also due to the fact that he was exposed to Mathematical Olympiad earlier than everyone else! However, Philip paused for a moment, as if he didn't know how to answer, and finally said tactfully. "Sir Tik, this is the twelfth [Ring of Mysticism] I have issued!"
The twelfth? Tik's mouth twitched. Was he the last one? How was that possible?
Tik was puzzled.
Lin En had made it very clear before that the master of Mathematical Olympiads from the [Arcane Society] wanted to find some formal wizards to study a difficult problem in Mathematical Olympiads, probably to assist with calculations and the like, in order to ensure the final naming rights for the research results. Those great wizards who were proud of their status were unlikely to shamelessly participate.
He had some knowledge of the remaining official wizards who were proficient in mathematics, such as Ellison, who calculated pi to the ninth digit, and Alva, who focused on studying alchemical geometry...
There is no doubt about the talents of these people, but there is no reason why they should be faster than me who have been exposed to Olympiad mathematics in advance!
After much thought, Tikkis finally came to a conclusion that it must be because he spent too much time meditating to recover his energy, which delayed him some time!
