Chapter 2089 The Formidable Magnus Zelinsky

Chapter 2089

Magnus had been hunched over for ages, scribbling odd patterns on pieces

of paper. He’d often direct Quintus to tweak the helicopter’s path, sometimes

flying so low they almost skimmed the lake’s surface. After nearly thirty

minutes of back–and–forth, just as frustration set in, Magnus finally pieced

together the dozen patterns he’d drawn.

With a satisfied grin, he announced, “Alright, I think I’ve got it. There’s

something hidden deep down in this lake!”

Everyone exchanged surprised glances.

Quintus frowned, skeptical. “Magnus, don’t mess around! Even after dumping

a million carp into the lake, I only see a few here and there. From just these

sightings, how could you figure out where anything’s buried in a big lake?”

Magnus just smirked, circling nine spots on his makeshift map. “Those hidden

supplies? They’re likely in one of these nine areas.”

Everyone was stunned, considering that the search area had dramatically

shrunk if Magnus was right.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Mackenzie asked, “How did you figure this

out?” She admitted to herself that his observation and deduction skills were

far beyond her own.

Still grinning, Magnus explained, “It’s winter, and water temperatures in the

lake vary by depth. Carp tends to sink to warmer, deeper spots to hunker

down for the season. So, when they were tossed into the lake, most dove

straight down. But some, either because they’re more resistant to the cold or

didn’t grab a good spot, rose back up to look for better places. By watching

where they surface, I can get a rough idea of what’s at the lake’s bottom:

whether it’s cluttered, polluted, or just uncomfortable for the carp.”

is confident explanation left the group baffled. Quintus turned to Rhett and

asked, “Rhett, does this make any sense to you?”

Rhett snorted and stayed silent, thinking, Do I really have to admit I don’t get,

it? I’m the king of Ophanim–I have my pride.

Quintus pressed on, asking Claudette, “Do you follow?”

Claudette laughed. “Maybe I have memory loss–none of this rings a bell.”

Quintus then asked Lexi, “How about you?”

Lexi responded, “I get a general idea, but I can’t figure out how Magnus can

forcing them to the surface.”

recorded all their behaviors and movements on these papers.”

Starting to understand, Mackenzie realized why he’d spent so long sketching.

“Well, how can you remember all those details just by glancing?”

Magnus explained with a smug smile, “It’s all about grouping patterns, not

individual fish. Remembering each one would be impossible, but identifying

make them easy to pick out!”

Still confident, he continued, “If the fish are naturally cold–resistant, they’ll

keep swimming near the surface. If they disappear after a while, I mark the

area they are in. Any spot I mark more than twice becomes a key area.”

Quintus still looked mystified, and so did everyone else.

Laura laughed. “This feels like watching some complex game show. I still don’t

get the rules.”

Mackenzie’s eyes widened with sudden understanding. “Now I get it! Magnus,

you really live up to your title as ‘Magnus the Genius.‘ Watching you work is

truly mind–blowing!”

Everyone in the vicinity shared the same astonishment. Rhett and the others,

ready captivated by Mackenzie’s keen insight, couldn’t help but admire the

talent of someone who could make even her feel outmatched.

Having stood beside Mackenzie for years, Lexi was particularly shocked. She

had never witnessed Mackenzie giving such heartfelt praise to anyone

before.

“Thanks, Mrs. Lowe,” Magnus replied, grinning. “Now, where do you think we

should start searching? I’m sure you’ve already figured it out.”

Mackenzie nodded, pointing decisively to a spot on the map. “Quintus, let’s

get everyone started here.”

he others leaned closer, intrigued, questioning why she had chosen this

area first among the nine options.

“It’s the area Magnus marked the most,” Mackenzie spoke simply.

“Your Holiness, your insight is remarkable–you noticed details the rest of us

overlooked! You’ve been paying close attention!” Rhett remarked, impressed.

Mackenzie shrugged. “Compared to Magnus, I’m just scratching the surface.

Alright, let’s get moving!”

“On it!” Quintus replied, his enthusiasm increasing. Though he didn’t fully

grasp the plan, he was eager to see if Magnus‘ deductions were right.

“Hold up!” Magnus called, turning to Claudette with a playful smile.

“Claudette, want to see something cool?”

“Uh, sure?” Claudette replied, intrigued.

Magnus chuckled, “Remember when I used to show you the ‘fish leaping over

the waterfall‘ as a kid?”

Claudette blinked, surprised. “Wait, that’s real?”

With a smirk, Magnus turned to Mackenzie. “Mrs. Lowe, I’ll need a favor.”

“Of course,” she replied, just as intrigued. She thought, Honestly, seeing how

don’t know. I’m starting to see him in a different light. I don’t dislike him as

much as I used to.

“I’ll need four nets to close in on this spot, and I’ll need you to crank up the

engines and create some noise as a barrier. If all goes well, you’ll see the

carp leaping over a ‘makeshift barrier‘ we set up.” Magnus laughed

confidently.

Though still confused, everyone got to work.

“Okay!” Mackenzie agreed, turning to Quintus. “Go ahead, follow his

instructions!”

Got it!” Quintus then chuckled and added, “I don’t know if Claudette will find

this, but I can’t wait to see some funny responses! Magnus, I’d love to see

your reaction if you make a mistake. Haha!”
