Escalating Conflict

Olbins ultimately left through a teleportation array.

As the Ring of Space-Time's only student, it was not really appropriate for him to meet Anvis privately at this time.

It could easily be misunderstood as an instruction from the Speaker of the Magic Council, then interpreted by interested parties as some sort of private connection between the council and the Four Great Families of the Empire.

Olbins had deliberately chosen the Magic Light Hotel, which was completely controlled by the Magic Council, as their meeting place, likely for the same reason of avoiding outside attention as much as possible.

After obtaining the Three-Dimensional Magic Array recorded in that notebook, Anvis temporarily halted all his ongoing affairs and focused entirely on deciphering the array's encrypted information.

The array itself used the classic, traditional High Elf Triple Encryption. The composite, nested Three-Dimensional Magic Array was in fact composed of three different hybrid array structures.

To decipher its true message, one had to make use of Mana Particle Migration between similar arrays, gradually adjusting their operational paths without disrupting the array's overall functioning, until all three layers of arrays were completed.

The idea behind the deciphering was not particularly difficult, but the array's structure was exceptionally complex. Even with the assistance of some of Tower Spirit Bohemia's idle computing power, it still took Anvis a full three days to finish deciphering it.

In the notebook, the mysterious High Elf named Iverios Silver Moon's Ode had casually described it as "a little simple encryption." But what a Legend considered simple was an entirely different matter for those below Legendary Rank.

Once the deciphering was complete, Anvis successfully obtained a peculiar space-time coordinate, as well as an incomparably precise and elegant Rhombus Spell Model.

Most ninth-rankers who had once tried to decipher the Eternal Core had
