Chapter 172: Can Humans Really Solve These Questions?

Recent appearances of powerful creatures within the Magic Stone Mine and the sudden emergence of the Doomsday Sect made Lynn sense a hint of danger.

The former wasn't something he could meddle with. Even if those legendary wizards joined forces and couldn't solve this trouble, his own efforts would likely be futile.

The latter concerned Ougust, the current overseer. However, Lynn wasn't about to entirely rely on others for his safety. Finding a way to enhance his own strength, to adeptly deal with potential threats, became an urgent matter.

Continuing to advance in wizard ranks seemed the best choice, but he had only recently ascended to the Second Circle. Despite the enormous power gained from the "Eye of Death" not yet entirely depleted and his magic still in rapid growth, the distance to the next promotion remained substantial.

So, Lynn had to approach this from another angle. Just like when confronting Herlram previously, with the computational support of nine Third Circle wizards, he could briefly contend even against a Fifth Circle Grand Wizard!

Though during that encounter, he had outwitted Herlram and caused a magical backlash, leaving Herlram's strength reduced to merely about thirty to forty percent of his original power. Still, it was enough to crush the strength of ordinary official wizards!

Precisely because of this, during these days in Grenreil, besides preparing speeches and experimental materials, Lynn spent most of his time crafting new "Rings of Arcana."

To distinguish them, these newly made rings weren't as glamorous as Harof's and didn't transport the wearer "beyond space-time." Instead, they connected to a planet within the magical realm. The brain was currently working fervently to quickly determine the location for the second assembly.

Ultimately, Lynn settled on twelve people for this journey! The reason for limiting the number was twofold: first, his brain's computational capacity was limited, and more computational power didn't necessarily mean better results.

Secondly, the magical realm was in its nascent stage. If too many people were brought in at once, there was a risk of exposure.

As for the legendary wizard Harof, who had previously entered the magical realm, Lynn didn't dare allow the brain to attempt deciphering his mental frequency. Given the huge gap in their strengths, it might be noticed. The true targets were those Third Circle wizards.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

With a "Diversionary Force Field" for defense and "Spatial Vibrations" as an offensive measure, even when facing a Grand Wizard, he wouldn't be completely defenseless.

Thus, upon learning that a master of numerical studies from the Society of Mystical Arts intended to invite twelve formally recognized wizards who excelled in arithmetic to tackle a major numerical problem, Tiek became instantly intrigued.

Confidently, he believed he could be one of the twelve. After all, compared to other wizards, he had attended numerology classes two months earlier, laying a solid foundation.

With these thoughts, Tiek didn't even bother looking at the so-called "Fundamentals of Numerology" but directly flipped open the more advanced "Advanced Numerical Studies." However, upon seeing the first question, he froze.

"Find the sum of the formula 1^2+2^2+3^2+4^29999^2!"

After confirming he hadn't misread the exponent symbol, Tiek couldn't help but gasp. Adding squares from 1^2 to 9999^2 would take up dozens of pages just to write out the entire formula. It might take days or even half a month of sleepless calculations to arrive at the result!

And this was only the first question!
