"Master Ian, it's your turn. ”

The boy, known as Ian, looked up and looked around, the room was empty. Just now, a few people had stayed here, and the smell of sweat in the air covered the scent of red roses.

They all stepped on the red carpet in front of Ian and left the room, and they all looked at him in unison, but Ian kept his head down and did not respond.

Ian slowly closed the book and placed it on the table with the old family crest.

For the country, he is a monster.

is a person who should not exist in this room.

"I thought they were going to kill me outright, I didn't have the strength to fight them. Ian looked at the little devil flying towards him, still sitting.

Kars looked like the demon in his memory, even though it belonged to the guardian of the Ian family, his family crest.

"You really forgot, Ian, that Manda is the land of lies. ”

"As I said, this is not my country. Ian's voice slowly weakened, and he pulled out a palm-sized badge from his body, which seemed to still smell of blood.

"Master Ian, this is ...... A new lie?" Kars landed on Ian's shoulder, his face confused.

"No......" Ian held back what he wanted to say, just staring at the badge in his hand.

I'm not going to lie.

But here, lies are honored.

The world doesn't look much different from Earth, and the candles don't have any magic to keep them burning. Along the way, however, Ian sees things that are completely outside of his knowledge, such as robots powered by steam or wizards riding broomsticks.

But Kars told him that these were all the spoils of lies

With no magic and no science, Manda maintains an old, medieval style that no other country has outside of this country.

People, the pursuit of the ultimate lie.

"The seventh liar, Ian IV, please stand trial in the House. ”

A clear voice broke into the room through the hallway, and the noise outside exploded inside the House of Lords like boiling hot oil.

"Young Master, have you really figured out what to say?"

"I can try, I'm here anyway. With a trembling hand, Ian tucked the badge back into his pocket, stood up, and straightened his gown under Kars's instructions.

On the wall in front of the door, there were several lines of small lettering, and dust had fallen on them, because everyone knew it, but Ian felt unfamiliar.

"Lies are commendable qualities. ”

"If no one sees your lie, it comes true. ”

"The elves will judge all this, pay for your lies, and be judged by the House, and success or failure will depend on your wisdom. ”

Ian disagrees from the first sentence.

He doesn't like to lie, even if he leaves his original world and comes to Manda because he tells the truth, it is simply a punishment in disguise.

But he still doesn't like to lie.

Pushing open the door, behind the gloomy hallway, is the bright council chamber.

Before he could get to the light, Ian had already heard the crowd talking.

"It's really him, I thought the prime minister was lying. ”

"I guess he's not in the mood to lie about it, which means that someone lied to us about it, to all of them...... Most of the nobility. ”

"Who was the person who released the news in the first place? If he can hide everyone's lies, why didn't he come to the House of Lords and let the lies come true?"

"Ian IV...... The last man of the Ian family, what is he doing in the House of Lords?"

"Who will support him? None of his family has come, and liars cannot lie about their lies. ”

Many people's eyes unconsciously fell on the few empty seats on the right side of the House of Lords. There are only about 20 people in the House of Lords, and these vacant seats are very glaring.

Ian stepped onto the podium and stood at the center of Manda's power.

Here is the House of Lords, the House of Lords made up of Prime Ministers, Ministers and Nobles. Although the number of people is small, all the decisions discussed here will be put into the House of Commons for discussion.

The House of Commons represents all the citizens of Manda.

And what can rid the House of Commons of prejudice is the lies of liars.

This lie will be judged indiscriminately by all the people, who will pay their own lies, just like voting for elections, to achieve or eliminate lies.

Ian put his hand on the affidavit.

"I have learned all the duties of a liar, and have voluntarily surrendered my words to the judgment of the elves. If no one sees what I say is true, the elves will fulfill my lie, and if what I say is true, then the lie value of the lie bet will go to Ian IV. If...... When my lies are exposed, or my truth is proven, I will pay the value of the lies that this 'fact' represents, to all those who take part in the trial. ”

After stumbling through the words, Ian looked at the people in the House of Lords, but their shock had long since dissipated, replaced by indifference and unfazedness.

You can never tell if he is lying from people's expressions, this is a proverb in the country of Manda.

"The Ian family is the most lying family in Manda, and we are looking forward to your lying today. ”

The Prime Minister said to Ian, who was only 16 years old, with a smile on his face.

The more obvious the lie, the more it represents his contempt for you, which is also a proverb in the country of Manda.

Kars folded his wings and honestly lay on Ian's back, not daring to make a sound.

"I'm ready. Ian nodded to the Prime Minister, took a deep breath, and slowly regained his composure.

The prime minister pressed the device in his hand, and a suspended virtual screen appeared in front of everyone, and the numbers on it had been cleared.

As soon as Ian put his hand on the affidavit again, what he said was a lie.

To lie, it is not necessary to tell a lie. But for the Manda country, only lies can profit the liars.

Tell the truth, even if no one sees through it, you can only get the value of the lie that everyone bets, in other words, the money.

What would Ian choose to say?

"I, Ian IV, am ...... God's agents. ”

This is a simple declarative sentence.

But Ian saw the shocked expressions on everyone's faces.

This sentence is irretrievable, and Kars, as the guardian spirit of their family, will fulfill its responsibility to evaluate the value of the lie needed to realize this sentence.

Lie Value, is the common currency of Manda.

Bet on heads and tails for the lie itself, and the sum of heads and tails equals the total value to end the judgment.

Lies are too grand to realize, too ordinary and easy to manipulate, and the weight of lies depends entirely on the wisdom of the liar.

The liars who say that the kingdom of Manda will be destroyed tomorrow have three feet of grass on their graves.

But this time, even Kars couldn't immediately estimate the value of the lie.

The House of Lords has begun to whisper that lying is not child's play, and that each liar is responsible for his or her own words, because if everyone guesses the truth of the statement, then Ian will have to pay for the lie himself.

"He's crazy, what is he talking about?"

"Is his hand really on the affidavit?"

"Agents of God?Where did the gods come from in the kingdom of Manda, if there is no God......

"He's lying, it's an obvious lie! There is no god in Manda, and there is no one who can act as God!"

"Not to mention the cursed Ian family, they are so good that the gods will only be jealous. ”

"It's true, the elves have already begun to calculate the value of this sentence, oh my God, I don't dare to think about it......"

"How do you press, true or false?"

"I want to ask the patriarch. ”

"Quiet, quiet!" At that moment, the prime minister also put away his playful expression and stood up.

He looked at young Ian, and he could see panic and fear in the other person's eyes, but the prime minister could not tell whether this sentence was true or false.

Ridiculous, if you lie with this statement, if you succeed, then you are not rightfully a god?

This is an obvious lie.

There has never been a man in Manda who is so retarded to tell such a lie, let alone that this is the House of Lords, not to mention that the other party is one of the four ancient families.

Someone got up and left the chamber, and the Prime Minister looked at the first person to leave his seat, it was his own Chancellor of the Exchequer, from the Fettir family, who was about to ventilate the news.

The latter did not even look at the Prime Minister and left the House of Lords in full view of everyone.

"Mr. Ian, could you please add to this statement. "The Prime Minister stepped forward and was condescending.

"According to the rules, supplemental descriptions would be detrimental to the interests of the liar. Regardless of the outcome of the bet, the liar will receive a five-percent reduction. Kars's voice came from overhead.

The Prime Minister turned to look at the House of Lords, his hands behind his back clenched into fists, and made a secret gesture. A few nobles exchanged moments with their companions, and finally nodded.

"Could I please add a description of what kind of being is the god you are talking about?" the Prime Minister put his hand on the affidavit.

Ian could clearly feel his heartbeat, the oppression of these adults was as heavy as a mountain, and what he was doing seemed to outsiders like a child who had made a mistake, being forced to tell him the truth.

However, Ian is no longer the same Ian.

Lying takes skill and practice, and Manda has countless question banks to train you on how to lie.

However, it does not teach you how to tell the truth.

Ian looked up, as the Prime Minister saw, he was afraid, fearful, but, sincere.

"God is real, and He is in control of everything in this world and who makes the rules of this world. He is part of this world, but he is an independent thinker. I want you to admit that there is a real God in this world, and that I am indeed His agent in the kingdom of Manda. ”

Before the words fell, Kars finally calculated the value of lying. Together with Ian's word-and-sentence description, it became a nightmare for the House of Lords.

1000000001。

A billion lies are worth it!

That's one-tenth of the annual tax revenue of Manda!

This means that to complete this lie, the pros and cons must bet at least 500 million lies.

It's a game-shattering gamble!

"Inform the House of Commons and all the people that the seventh 'liar', Ian IV, has taken the oath and is about to vote and decide. ”
