Chapter 17: The Decryptor
"Actually, it's so troublesome..."The white wolf looked at the blood in front of him, and scratched his head with some annoyance, he was cracking the curse runes in the blood, counting, he had failed hundreds of times.
In the past three days, the white wolf has spent the rest of his time in the basement except for sometimes coming out to guide Lika to learn to cook, drinking some cold water when he is thirsty, and nibbling on dragon jerky when he is hungry.
The white wolf has its own method of studying magic runes, which basically follows three principles: from part to whole, from effect to cause, theory to practice. This time, his research on this curse rune also followed these three principles.
At the beginning, it was indeed very effective, through the study of fire element runes and wind element runes, the white wolf gradually summed up a set of his own unique rune theory, the white wolf called his theoretical system the texture construction theory, the basic idea is that each rune is composed of different lines, and the impact of each pattern on the effect of this rune is very clear. According to the theory, as long as the role of each line of the rune is tested separately, the mathematical functions corresponding to these lines can be obtained, and finally all the pattern functions are synthesized, and the solution obtained is the core parameter of the rune, and the core parameters are obtained, which means that the rune is completely mastered by the white wolf.
At that time, he can modify the rune according to these parameters, and achieve the purpose of transforming the function by modifying the texture, so as to modify the effect produced by this.
Since this rune is only contained in a drop of blood, the white wolf's sense of it is quite weak, so the white wolf must be careful to crack it, and testing the function of each pattern requires the white wolf to exert twelve points of energy, and he feels like he is carving on rice.
Fortunately, the white wolf had enough patience and was quite meticulous in operation, and it only took him more than an hour to crack a quarter of the peripheral lines at first
The white wolf was even a little overjoyed to think that he would be able to crack this rune in an afternoon and save Alyssa's mother.
However, it backfired, as the white wolf's test of the runes gradually deepened, he found that his previous method was not very effective, testing a pattern ten times in a row, and the functions obtained each time were different, and some of the lines were tested without even feedback at all, and no function could be measured, but the white wolf could definitely be sure that these lines definitely had their effect, and this effect was crucial.
After testing, the white wolf found that about a quarter of the lines gave a function that was random, and the other quarter of the lines belonged to the type of no feedback at all, and the white wolf chose to make it easy first and then difficult, first analyzing those lines that accounted for half of the entire rune with stable reactions, and the remaining half made the white wolf feel quite tricky.
"This should be some kind of encryption," the programmer's thinking immediately popped into the white wolf's mind. He didn't think that these random lines could make such a stable rune, and he didn't believe that the guy who designed the rune would make a quarter of the useless runes, which were redundant for a programmer to remove.
Now that I have been convinced that this is some kind of encryption method, the next thing is to decrypt, the white wolf is not clear about the law of these lines of encryption for the time being, so he can only use brute force cracking methods, that is, one by one, the complexity of this method is shown to increase with the increase in the number of lines and show a geometric progression, for example, if there are n lines, then you have to try n×n times, and now the white wolf has not been able to parse the lines There are 50, and it takes a total of about 2500 times to unravel it.
Looking at such a large amount of work, the white wolf really had the idea of giving up, but he was a more serious guy, and it was difficult to turn back once he made a decision, so after a moment of hesitation, he began this heavy work.
At the current speed of the white wolf, he can try 10 possible decoding combinations in about an hour, that is to say, if he wants to try them one by one, it will probably take 250 hours, that is, a little more than ten days, but with the increase of decipherment lines, the white wolf has probably figured out the law of this encryption method, a pattern that will produce a random function, and the non-feedback pattern it affects will have a linear relationship of 1 to 3, after a general understanding of the encryption method, the rest of the decryption problem will be solved.
After cracking all the encrypted lines, the white wolf finally got the function of all the lines and calculated the core parameters.
Immediately afterwards, the white wolf changed several core parameters of the rune, and at the moment when the parameters changed, it was like the correct password was entered into the combination lock, all the encryption was turned off, and the rune structure became very different from the original, if it weren't for the white wolf personally cracking the rune, he would definitely not recognize that the rune in front of him was the same as the curse rune hidden in Alyssa's mother's blood.
Looking at the rune in front of him, the white wolf even had a sense of admiration, not so much that this is a rune, but that this is a work of art, hundreds of lines according to a certain law, some chaotic arrangement at the same time, but rich in some kind of internal order beauty, the white wolf is a little intoxicated by it, from a programmer's point of view, he really wants to meet the guy who created this rune now, and then shout admiration.
The white wolf carefully modified a few functions in the curse rune, turned it into a rune that did no harm to himself, and then imprinted it in his mind.
The white wolf finally mastered this rune at this time, he called the elemental power that this rune can mobilize as the dark element, this rune has no input, output or storage functions, but through this rune, the white wolf can feel that something is calling him in the underworld.
Calling him to the south...
The white wolf modified a few parameters again, and in an instant, the curse runes that existed in Elisa's mother's blood melted away like ice and snow meeting flames.
"Alyssa, I've got good news for you" Just as Alyssa was about to go out again the next morning, the white wolf stopped her.
"What's the good news?" Alyssa turned and looked at the white wolf in confusion.
The white wolf didn't speak, but silently picked up a plate from behind him, which contained Alyssa's mother's blood, but now the color of this blood was a little different from before, that is, it changed from the original black color to bright red.
It was the color of the blood that had been removed from the curse.
