Normally, given enough time, many Witch Array Masters can decipher this witch array.

But the problem is, it might take hundreds of years.

In the contamination zone, no one can spend hundreds of years deciphering the witch array of this relic.

There's not that much time.

The Pioneer Squad from Serlandir is probably working tirelessly to decipher it right now.

They sent this footage back hoping to gather everyone's strength to decipher it together, quicker than doing it alone.

If they can't decipher it in a while, they'll probably abandon the relic.

There are too many uncertainties in the contamination zone, they can't stay there forever.

If they can't decipher it, they can only record the location and return once they figure out a solution.

But the situation within the contamination zone is unpredictable; the relic might be gone in a few days.

After observing the disk spinning once, Herag found it indeed extremely difficult to decipher.

The eight rings are eight witch arrays, each with hundreds of runes, and the interactions between the rings must be considered.

With the normal deciphering method, one has to observe the operational patterns to get some data first.

Then perform rigorous and precise calculations based on the data, the amount of calculations involved can't be done quickly.

Herag quickly thought of conventional deciphering methods and realized it's impossible to decipher it in a short time.

One must think of some clever methods to decipher this witch array, testing the mind's flexibility.

It's no wonder the Witch Array Master in the Pioneer Squad can't decipher it; that Master must not be a newbie and certainly has high attainments.

But this thing has nothing to do with experience; you can't decipher it if you can't think of a way.

Either know the correct solution or calculate the answer by brute force.

Though wizards have high spiritual power, they still can't calculate such complexities quickly.

Herag observed everyone else, finding most people engrossed in thought.

All attending this conference are elite Witch Array Masters, naturally noticing the deciphering difficulty of this witch array.

Some were already leaning beside the table, sketching on parchment paper with a quill, apparently starting calculations.

Herag glanced at them, knowing calculating on paper wouldn't work, at least not in a short time.

While others were deep in thought, Herag furrowed his brow pretending to think.

"Shenlan, start calculating and analyzing the solution for this disk."

"Task archival completed, analyzing and calculating, estimate twenty-three minutes," Shenlan gave the estimated time.

Herag pondered, "Twenty-three minutes, not too slow."

For Shenlan, simply going through each possibility suffices.

At its speed, twenty-three minutes is already quite long.

Herag silently waited for Shenlan to complete the calculation, occasionally glancing at others.

Just hoping Shenlan finishes before anyone else provides the answer.

Herag won't underestimate these wizards; each Witch Array Master is a genuine genius, anyone may find a way to solve it.

It's entirely possible.

The entire Avila Restaurant became tranquil, only the soft writing sounds on parchment were audible.

Some started writing, others like Herag believed calculation wouldn't work, thus kept observing the disk.

Ten minutes later, a raspy voice broke the silence.

"I think I know how to solve it." Old Man Muir emerged from the crowd, approaching Goodwin.

Goodwin turned with a smile, "Oh, it's Mr. Muir, you already have the answer?"

Old Man Muir backed his hands, scornfully glanced around, and said sternly, "I naturally have an idea; you all lack insight. It's merely a series of witch arrays, there's a fixed solution. Eight rings, view every two as a whole, then reverse backwards with the same thought."

Saying so, he produced a rolled parchment, handing it to Goodwin, "Try my solution."

Goodwin accepted, unrolling and inspecting it carefully.

After watching, Israel took it to look and passed it to three others.

"What do you think?" Goodwin asked Israel.

Israel furrowed his brow tightly, "This is mostly speculation without specific data support, not necessarily feasible."

Upon hearing this, Muir immediately shouted hoarsely, "What do you know? My method will work for sure!"

Israel shrugged indifferently, "I don't think it works, see what others think."

With five reviewers, only needing three to think it feasible to test it in the contamination zone.

Goodwin considered, "Without data support is a problem indeed, but I think the idea is worth a try, what do you think?"

The other three agreed similarly, thinking it's worth trying.

Herag observed silently, Shenlan still calculating, without a specific result yet.

Only hoping Old Man Muir's method fails; otherwise, the reward won't be his.

Goodwin took the parchment to the back, probably passing it to the contamination zone.

During the wait for Goodwin's reply, Old Man Muir glimpsed around disdainfully.

Seeing Herag still furrowing and thinking, recalling Herag's prior rudeness, he mocked, "What's wrong, kiddo? Can't think of it? Go read more books, but with your brain, books won't solve this problem."

Muir didn't know Herag or understand him, only thought him to be somewhat related to Israel as a young man.

"Whether I can solve it is unknown, but your solution certainly can't," Herag smiled.

When Muir handed Goodwin, the parchment was rolled.

Others, out of respect, wouldn't use magic sense to probe the contents.

But Herag had Shenlan's environment detection and already saw what Muir wrote.

Can only say the idea is viable, but doesn't match this disk's actual condition.

Even if treated with a holistic method, the relationships are still too complex, and Muir's parchment didn't address this.

Hence, Israel immediately dismissed it, Goodwin and others noticed the issue but thought the idea worth a try, maybe like hitting a dead mouse blindly.
