Israel watched as Goodwin left with the stack of parchment, and sighed, "It's hard to imagine that you came up with these in such a short time."

If he hadn't witnessed the latter half of Herag's writing process himself, he would have found it hard to believe.

One can only sigh that sometimes the gap between people is larger than between people and dogs.

Herag put away the quill and leftover parchment and poured himself a glass of red wine on the nearby dining table.

After writing for so long, he was feeling a bit thirsty.

Many people were watching him, and everyone here saw the thick stack of parchment that Goodwin was holding.

This was the second solution to pass review after almost an hour had passed.

The previous one was from Old Man Muir, whom many people were familiar with.

A Level 2 Witch Array Master, with deep qualifications and rich experience, so nobody found it strange.

Old Man Muir's solution opened up many people's minds, prompting them to attempt cracking it according to that approach.

Thus, when Old Man Muir provided his solution, it didn't surprise anyone.

However, Herag was an unfamiliar face; among those present, only a few knew Herag, while most had no idea who he was.

Seeing Herag's solution was in such a thick stack, it seemed quite impressive.

Herag ignored the observing gazes and approached Israel, saying, "I also don't know if it will work, just giving it a try."

"I think there's a good chance it will succeed. I looked at the latter half of your calculation and it seems to have no major issues," Israel wasn't entirely sure because Herag's writing speed was too quick for him to fully calculate, only roughly browsing through it.

"Hopefully," Herag replied.

This time, Goodwin was gone for a long time, unlike last time when he returned in just a few minutes.

Many people waited for Goodwin's results this time; the longer they waited, the more they felt hopeful about Herag's solution working.

Some continued to furiously write, still buried in calculations, unaffected by external influence.

The wizard community has extremely high focus, with spiritual power highly concentrated when focused on tasks.

In truth, Herag was quite confident, with a high degree of certainty.

But outwardly, he couldn't appear overly confident and had to show some uncertainty.

Old Man Muir stood among the crowd; due to his height, he was surrounded by legs as he peeked at Herag through the gaps.

By now, even he was unsure, as Goodwin had been gone for an unusually long time.

Normally, a quick test would reveal the result, with no need for further testing.

Goodwin being gone for so long meant the initial attempts were successful, but the cracking process hadn't been fully completed.

The longer it took, the higher the likelihood Herag's solution would succeed.

If the first half was problem-free, the latter half would presumably be fine as well.

In other words, there was now a high probability that Herag's solution was workable and might have reached the final validation stage.

A while later, Goodwin returned, with a smile on his face, and the stack of parchment was nowhere to be seen.

He had been gone for half an hour.

Everyone turned to look at him, waiting for Goodwin to announce the result.

Goodwin walked over to Herag and said with a smile, "Congratulations Herag, your solution successfully cracked the witch array at the relic entrance. Ten thousand magic stones and five hundred contribution points will be issued to your account shortly."

For a moment there was silence at the scene, followed by many exclamations as they all turned their attention to Herag, looking at this unfamiliar young man.

They had thought the Wheel of Fortune Witch Array would take quite some time to solve, perhaps even proving unsolvable.

But unexpectedly, it was deciphered in just around two hours.

The person who cracked it was so young and unknown; had a famous witch array master solved it, they would have remained unfazed as they were familiar with them.

Upon Herag providing the solution, many began to truly regard this young man seriously and started whispering, inquiring about Herag.

Goodwin exclaimed, "You're indeed a remarkable young man. Keep up the good work! I believe, as long as you advance to Level 2 Wizard, passing the Level 2 Witch Array Master assessment will be no problem for you."

"Thank you for the praise, President," Herag replied with a humble smile, showing no arrogance or pride, maintaining a very modest demeanor.

Many took notice of this, raising their opinion of Herag substantially.

If it were an average young person with Herag's intellect and achievement, a bit of pride would be expected.

It's normal for youth to be somewhat arrogant, but Herag displayed remarkable composure.

For wizards, steadiness is a highly esteemed quality.

The wizard community is never short of talent, but the number who reach far is few.

Elders like Goodwin and Israel had seen countless such cases, which made them very fond of Herag's character.

At this point, Old Man Muir walked over, eyed Herag, and croaked, "Boy, add me as a Talisman Stone friend. You can ask me questions if you're confused. Also, tell me about your solution today."

Herag hadn't expected Old Man Muir to be this gracious, not caring about past slight annoyances.

Seeing Herag's expression, Old Man Muir said, "I just don't like Israel. I wouldn't stoop to bickering with a junior like you. You show some talent in witch arrays, so I'm willing to guide you a bit."

As Old Man Muir said this, Herag naturally wouldn't needlessly make enemies.

He and Old Man Muir actually had no real conflict, so it was best to turn hostility into friendship.

After adding Old Man Muir as a Talisman Stone friend, Herag began explaining his cracking process.

Old Man Muir listened intently without interrupting Herag, just focused on listening.

As Herag explained, several other witch array masters also gravitated nearby to listen attentively.

Herag held nothing back, there was no need to keep secrets about this.

Once Herag completely explained his cracking method, the people around him were left with only admiration in their eyes.

Herag's thought process was so clear that once heard, it was evident there were no issues with it.

That's not the focus; the point is Herag completed the cracking in a very short time.

Herag then added a few more people as Talisman Stone friends, remaining humble and not arrogant.

Since the primary purpose of this exchange meeting had been achieved, it proceeded to the regular exchange meeting and dance segments.
