Chapter 211: Error

Chapter 211 Error

Many were drawn toward the sound of the argument.

Li Wei walked over and found that the one raising objections was none other than Melvin.

Melvin argued logically with the crowd, but no one supported him.

Everyone supported the opinion of the other person.

The opponent was the renowned Tier Three Array Master.

He was simply not someone a second-rate Array Master like Melvin could challenge.

"Do you understand better, or does Grandmaster Roy?"

"Grandmaster Roy says there is no problem, what else do you want to question?"

"Exactly, if you don't know, just shut up, don't come out and make a fool of yourself."

"You all!"

Melvin was so angry he couldn't speak.

Clearly everyone knew the plan had problems, yet they still staunchly supported Roy.

Only because Roy was the most famous Array Master among them.

Therefore, it seemed whatever he said was right.

Martin walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Seeing this, Roy stepped forward to explain, "We had some disagreements on the arrangement of the Tier Two Altar Magic Array, but it has been resolved now."

Melvin hurriedly said, "No, the problem has not been resolved!"

Roy glanced at Melvin displeasedly.

He was extremely annoyed by Melvin refuting his words time and again.

"Are you questioning my array skills?" Roy said looking at Melvin.

Melvin's face froze.

Naturally, he did not have the qualification to question Roy's array skills.

Undoubtedly, Roy's array skills were higher than his.

But on this issue, Roy's stance was problematic.

He was unwilling to admit his mistake and persisted in the error.

Others were unwilling to stand up and refute Roy, fearing to offend him.

Only Melvin had an honest character, bravely standing up and speaking out when seeing an error.

Hearing this, Martin looked at Melvin, then turned to Roy and said, "Just follow Roy's plan."

"Alright, start working, strive to complete the task by tomorrow."

Roy glanced at Melvin and chuckled, feeling as if he were looking at a clown who didn't know his own strength.

He turned and walked toward the crowd, saying, "Alright, everyone start working."

Melvin chased after Martin who was turning to leave.

Martin looked at him impatiently, "Is there anything else?"

Seeing this, Melvin's heart went cold halfway.

Words reached his lips, but he didn't know how to say them.

His lips moved a few times, helplessly lowering his head to say, "Nothing, trouble you, Mage Martin."

His voice was faint; nothing he said would matter.

Melvin was heavily struck, his mood depressed.

Li Wei walked over, looked at him and asked, "What is wrong with Roy's plan?"

Hearing this, Melvin looked up at Li Wei and let out a bitter smile.

"Under normal circumstances, Grandmaster Roy's plan has no problems, but I discovered that during the altar construction, the Tier Three main bodies were separated, not connected together."

"That is to say, if the magic array is arranged according to the original plan, ultimately only three independent large magic arrays can be obtained, unable to integrate the entire altar into one."

"The original magic array arrangement method must be changed to include all Tier Three altars within a single magic array."

"Sigh."

A sigh, full of helplessness and bitterness.

Melvin understood that from now on he would probably be ostracized by other Array Masters.

After all, he had offended Roy.

As a senior Tier Three Array Master, Roy had hopes of breaking through to become an Array Grandmaster.

Whoever chose would choose to flatter and support Roy, rather than choosing a nameless Array Master like him.

Li Wei asked, "If the magic array is arranged according to the original plan, do you have any remedy?"

Melvin said, "Yes, engraving an energy conduction magic array at the junction of the upper and lower tier altars will solve the problem."

"This could clearly be done very simply, but they..."

Melvin also didn't know what to say.

Sometimes persisting in being correct while different from others is actually a sin.

Li Wei said, "Can you do it alone?"

Melvin showed surprise. He hadn't thought of such a thing.

Li Wei's words reminded him that even if everyone chose the wrong option, he could rely on his own power to correct the error.

Melvin turned to look at the altar, pondered for a long time before saying, "I can."

He made up his mind, even if he had to fight for his life to achieve it.

This was a battle of ideals between him and Roy.

He was unwilling to submit to authority.

He only wanted to choose what was right.

Regardless of whether this correct choice would offend authority.

Li Wei said, "If I help you, how long will it take."

Melvin looked at Li Wei somewhat incredulously.

He weighed it over and over again, saying, "With two people, engraving the magic array overnight, we should be able to catch up with the schedule."

"Hmm, then you go do it."

"Do not tell anyone else about this matter."

Melvin was somewhat confused, he said, "Why?"

“If you believe my words, shouldn't you seek more people to help?”

Li Wei said, “Because some people cannot be trusted.”

Melvin was stunned for a long time.

He scrutinized Li Wei with a brand new gaze.

Melvin revealed a sincere smile, “Thank you for your trust.”

Li Wei smiled, saying nothing.

Melvin began to work.

An array mage accused him.

“What are you doing? What if you destroy the magic array like this?”

“Do not waste your strength, what benefit does this bring you?”

“Why bother? Is it not better to do as Master Roy says? Even if it is wrong, he takes the fall.”

This was the thinking of most people.

Not that they did not know there were problems, but simply because they dared not bear responsibility.

Following the crowd and submitting to authority were merely for self-preservation.

Melvin paid no mind to the idle gossip of others.

He buried his head in doing what he considered right.

Li Wei followed behind him, helping him charge and activate the magic array.

In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened.

Everyone had already returned to rest.

Melvin drank a bottle of mana recovery potion, restored some mana, then continued inscribing the magic array.

He had already used up many bottles of mana recovery potion.

Racing against time, chasing the progress.

He turned back to look at Li Wei, a trace of curiosity and wonder in his eyes.

Li Wei’s mana seemed never to run dry.

Never ending.

Charging and activating the magic array consumed more than him inscribing the magic array.

Yet he had never seen Li Wei drink a mana recovery potion.

Li Wei glanced behind, more than half was already completed.

He looked at the exhausted face of Melvin.

“That’s enough. Rest well, only then will you have energy to continue working tomorrow.”

Melvin shook his head saying, “I will inscribe a few more magic arrays.”

“You go rest first.”

Li Wei felt helpless.

Why was this person so stubborn?

Seeing this, he could only accompany Melvin.

Melvin inscribed the magic array, spiritual power overconsumed, body swaying, falling straight onto the ground.

He passed out immediately.

Li Wei carried him back into the tent.

“Shadow Servant, protect him.”

Li Wei feared someone might secretly harm Melvin.
