Old Man Muir's face was cold: "How could my thought process be understood by a young lad like you? Just wait and see."
Herag smiled and said, "Then let's see."
After looking at Old Man Muir's solution, he was almost certain that it was impossible to solve.
In his vision, Shenlan's analysis and calculations were still ongoing and needed ten more minutes to yield results.
Eight minutes later.
Goodwin came out with the sheepskin scroll of Old Man Muir, with a smile still hanging on his face.
Old Man Muir knew Goodwin always wore this expression, and couldn't be sure if his method worked, so he could only ask, "Mr. Goodwin, has it been solved?"
Goodwin smiled and said, "It's truly a pity, but those people over there still couldn't crack this Wheel of Fortune Witch Array after trying."
"How is that possible! It must be that his method has a problem!" Old Man Muir still firmly believed he was right, thinking the issue was in their practical operation.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Muir, those over there confirmed that the operational process was flawless, but your method is still not perfect, considering things too one-sidedly," Goodwin explained gently.
Old Man Muir didn't continue to argue, his face changing uncertainly as if contemplating something.
Seeing Muir silent, Goodwin looked around: "Does anyone else have any good methods?"
There was no response from those around, clearly, no one had found an effective method yet.
Several people had already sat down at the table, writing furiously, calculating something intensely.
Herag glanced at the progress in his vision—it was almost done.
After waiting about two minutes, Shenlan gave the results.
"The Wheel of Fortune Witch Array has been cracked. The solution is as follows."
Herag quickly checked it, and Shenlan directly provided specific steps.
Shenlan had numbered the eight rings inside the disk, from outside to inside, as Wheel One to Wheel Eight.
The first step was to embed a designated rune in a specific position on the Third Wheel, followed by embedding another rune on the specified position of the Seventh Wheel.
...
The steps were extremely complicated; Herag found there were a total of ninety-eight steps.
The operation volume was substantial, but after reading it all, it indeed seemed very feasible.
Herag ran the steps in his mind according to the given instructions and felt that the success rate was extremely high, with every step being reasonable and justified.
Shenlan provided the calculation process for each step, which was exceptionally complex, with a massive set of formulas.
But the process was very convincing because the data was extremely clear.
As long as there's data backing it, every step of the process could be justified.
Herag took out his quill pen and a stack of sheepskin parchment from the Space Ring and began writing in a corner.
He didn't attract much attention, as many others were also engrossed in writing and calculating just like Herag.
Old Man Muir, however, was the first to notice Herag's actions and sneered disdainfully.
He didn't believe Herag could come up with anything noteworthy.
If he couldn't solve the problem, how could this young lad? Impossible.
Israel glanced at Herag and, seeing Herag's serious expression, nodded slightly.
Herag picked up the quill pen and began to transcribe Shenlan's given steps onto the parchment.
Due to the complexity of the steps, one sheet of parchment was far from enough.
The stack of parchment Herag brought out was quickly used up, leaving a pile of densely written sheepskin on the table.
He immediately took out another stack of parchment from the Space Ring and continued writing furiously.
As time passed, the sheepskin parchment on Herag's table had piled up thickly.
Israel had already come over, observing Herag's writing process.
He was initially just curious and didn't think Herag could come up with an effective solution so quickly.
But after watching for a while, Israel was shocked.
He himself was a Level 2 Witch Array Master, naturally possessing high proficiency in witch arrays, also being an expert.
Just after watching for a moment, Israel understood what Herag was doing and also recognized what Herag was writing.
As Herag continued to write, Israel silently deduced in his mind based on Herag's content, finding all of it correct.
Israel only regretted coming late and missing the earlier parts.
When he got there, there was already a thick pile of sheepskin parchment on Herag's table.
Judging from the current content, there were no issues.
Herag wrote for over forty minutes before laying out the complete process of cracking on the parchment.
The stack of parchment was so high that it couldn't be held with one hand.
"Whew." Herag exhaled, feeling somewhat tired after writing for so long.
Israel asked, "Finished writing?"
"Hmm." Herag nodded.
"President Goodwin, come have a look at Herag's method," Israel said towards Goodwin on the other side.
During this period, several people had already submitted their methods to Goodwin, but none had passed the review.
Goodwin turned his head to glance at Herag and Israel, then walked over.
Herag handed over the thick stack of parchment: "President Goodwin, take a look and see if it works?"
Goodwin nodded, took the parchment, and began reading from the very top.
As soon as he started reading, Goodwin sensed that this solution was different from everyone's.
This was a solution with comprehensive data calculations, where each step could be independently deduced and verified by the reader.
Goodwin quickly immersed himself in the solution, silently reading, while calculating in his mind.
His actions drew the attention of others, with many looking over.
Upon seeing the thick stack of parchment in Goodwin's hands, many people were surprised.
It hadn't been long, how did this young man named Herag write so much?
Of course, writing a lot was of no use unless it could solve problems.
Old Man Muir thought the same way, looking at the stack of parchment with an expression of surprise and uncertainty.
He was also doubtful whether this youngster had really managed to come up with a solution, but upon further thought, he believed he was overthinking it.
Through this period of reflection, Muir had discovered the shortcomings and loopholes in his method and realized even more the troublesome nature of this Wheel of Fortune Witch Array.
He did not believe this was a problem that could be solved in a short time.
After reading, Goodwin still wore a smile and handed the stack of parchment to Israel.
Israel waved his hand: "I've already looked over part of it, and I think it's worth a try."
Goodwin nodded without speaking, then looked at Herag before turning to hand the parchment to the other three reviewers.
