Chapter 37 How Many Days Are There in a Year?
Loki defected, and the giant hired lawyer Wang Yun, no matter how you look at it, there is no reason to lose this time.
Regarding the preparation for the trial, Li Youcai couldn't help much, he was more concerned about the gossip of the Aesar God Clan.
Li Youcai: "Why did Loki defect?"
Giant: "It is said that a while ago, Loki wanted to release the giant wolf Fenrir, but he was discovered, so he had to escape from the Aesir Domain. β
Li Youcai: "What is his relationship with that wolf?"
Giant: "Fenrir the Giant Wolf is Loki's child. β
Li Youcai: "Loki is a werewolf?"
Giant: "That's not it, Loki himself can change everything, and the child he gave birth to could be in any pose, for example, he turned into a mare, seduced my horse Swadir Farly, and gave birth to Odin's mount, the eight-legged horse Slepnis." β
Li Youcai: "Wait a minute, is Loki a man or a woman?"
The giant wasn't quite sure: "But a man or a woman?"
Zhong Pingping finally couldn't help it: "I said that you came here to make trouble?"
Li Youcai: "I'm sorry, you go on, I just heard a gossip and was a little excited." β
Wang Yun: "Actually, there is no need to prepare anymore, the court will be held at five o'clock tonight, now relax well, so as not to be nervous at night." β
With the support of the chief lawyer, Li Youcai dug into Loki's melon again: "Since you don't need to prepare anymore, let's continue the topic just now, who did Loki give birth to?"
Giant: "And the giantess Angelberda, they have three children in total, Fenrir the wolf, JΓΆrmungard the serpent, and Hela, the goddess of death." β
Li Youcai: "Wait a minute, what did you say that giantess was called?"
Giant: "Angelberda." β
Li Youcai remembered the giantess he pulled that day, and it seemed that she was indeed going to attract the attention of the gods of Aesir and create an opportunity for Loki.
Li Youcai: "Then why did the Aesir Protoss imprison Fenrir, and what did it do?"
Giant: "Fenrir has done nothing wrong in his own right, and imprisoned it only because of a prophecy." β
Li Youcai: "What prophecy?"
Giant: "That's the weirdest thing, no one remembers this prophecy." β
Li Youcai: "Huh?"
Giant: "No one knows what the prophecy is, Fenrir was imprisoned not long after he was born, in fact all three of Angelberda's children did not make a mistake, but as soon as he was born, Fenrir was taken to the Aesir Domain, and then the gods tried to imprison him by all means. JΓΆrmungard was sealed in the depths of the sea. Hela was banished to the Realm of Death, but she was very powerful in her own right, unifying the Realm of Death and becoming the goddess of death.
Li Youcai said in surprise: "Do the gods of Asa have a grudge against Angelberda, or do they have a grudge against Loki?
Giant: "It shouldn't be like this, although Loki likes to play pranks, but he has a good relationship with the gods of Asa, and Angelberda will not be so targeted by the gods." β
Li Youcai: "Is it all because of a prophecy that no one knows?"
Zhong Pingping: "It should be, many of the gods can predict the future, and they can predict it quite accurately, so they will seal or eliminate those monsters that will destroy the world in the future in advance." β
As Wang Yun said, there is no need to make too many preparations at this time, because everything has been prepared before. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Text.Net
When the time came to four o'clock, the four of them were ready to go.
At this time, the giant called Li Youcai aside and asked him in a low voice: "Youcai, can you turn off the small function on your car first?"
Li Youcai didn't understand: "What is the function of making smaller?"
Giant: "It's the function that forcibly reduces people to your human size, and you know that if you shrink me, I'll become a dwarf." β
Only then did Li Youcai understand what the giant was talking about.
The five-short figure that the giant became when he got on the bus last time was not decided by himself, but by the taxi.
To put it simply, if a passenger who is too large wants to get into the car, the taxi will reduce the size of the passenger to the size of the taxi owner's race after a part of his body enters the car (e.g. the last time the giant came in a little fingertip).
To put it simply, although it is not known whether the Giant is a Mountain Giant or a Frost Giant or any other giant, his body size is five short in his own group, so he will become five short when he gets on the car, even though he is actually twice the size of a normal Mountain Giant.
In fact, even if the giant now maintains a height of two meters, his body proportions are not the same as ordinary people, intuitively his head is on the large side, although he has been a little cute after watching it for a long time, but it is still different from normal people.
Li Youcai smiled: "What, are you afraid of losing face in front of girls?" and glanced at Zhong Pingping as he spoke.
The giant was a little embarrassed: "You can just help me close it." β
Li Youcai: "You don't need to turn it off, you just keep the current height of two meters and go in, and it won't trigger that function." β
After getting Li Youcai's reply, the giant got into the car with peace of mind.
Coming out of the giant's house, Li Youcai drove directly to the Court of the Gods.
The Court of the Gods is located in a strange space known as the Gap of Time.
Time is completely suspended in the Gap of Time, and no matter how long you stay inside, not a second of time passes outside.
Li Youcai asked when he heard the characteristics of the gap between time: "Then if you cultivate into great power inside and then come out, wouldn't it be super cool." β
Zhong Pingping scoffed at his remarks: "Do you think cultivation is so easy? Let's not talk about the problem of the mind, the interval between time must be completely closed to make time stand still, and after it is completely closed, the total amount of energy inside is constant, even if you absorb all the energy inside, it will not improve much." β
"What's more, the air pressure difference can deform the metal, not to mention that the energy inside disappears completely, even a small part of it disappears, and the pressure difference generated by the energy will directly destroy the entire time gap. β
Although Xiuzhen Xiaobai Li Youcai was despised, he also understood that there was no shortcut to cultivation.
Coming out of the space tunnel, the taxi arrived at the courtroom.
What appeared in front of Li Youcai was a gate, a gate that allowed the giant to pass through at his original height.
Zhong Pingping explained: "Honesty is a rule that the court must abide by in all civilizations, and the plain exterior just reflects this." And in order to show absolute justice, there can be no decoration here that is biased towards any civilization, but any decoration has its own civilization characteristics, so in the end this place was designed like this. β
Looking at the simple and tall building in front of him, Li Youcai nodded approvingly, this place is indeed full of majesty.
As the four of them got out of the car, the giant also regained his tall size.
Giant: "Don't be surprised, no transformation spells may be used in the Court of the Gods, and all living beings must be in their true form. β
Li Youcai put away the taxi, and the four of them entered the courtroom together, the space here is very strange, whether it is the size of a giant or the size of Li Youcai's three people, the distance they walk into is exactly the same.
Glancing at Li Youcai and Wang Yun's surprised expressions, Zhong Pingping continued to popularize science for them: "There is a powerful space here, otherwise you are not allowed to take transportation indoors, and if you want to walk over, you have to exhaust those small races that can't fly to death." β
Soon they arrived at the plaintiff's waiting room, which was also very modest.
Li Youcai just glanced at the door, but was stopped by the guards at the door, he was not a member of the plaintiff group, because he was not there when the case was filed and adjusted out of court.
Li Youcai had no choice but to sit in the auditorium, which was directly opposite the judge's seat, with the plaintiff's bench on the left hand side and the defendant's bench on the right.
After waiting for a while, I chatted with Yang Yuhuan on chat software for a while, and it was time for the trial.
A majestic voice rang out throughout the courtroom: "The gap in time is about to close, the flow of time from the outside world is about to be isolated, and all communication will be blocked." β
This voice was repeated several times, and Li Youcai realized that it was probably played in a different language, but it sounded Huaxia to himself.
Soon, a strange feeling enveloped the courtroom, and Li Youcai's demon-altered mobile phone also lost its signal.
The defendants and plaintiffs were already seated, and only the judge's seat was still vacant.
Then the voice just now came out again: "Since both the original defendants are Europeans, we will use the European language as the lingua franca of this trial." β
The Nordic Nine Realms are the gods believed by the Nordic people on the European continent.
The European continent has been divided for many years, so the beliefs of Northern, Central and Southern Europe are not the same, but their lingua franca is European.
Soon the voice happened again.
"Stand up. β
All the creatures present stood up.
"The judge is seated. β
There is a presence in the judge's seat, which cannot be seen, but it is understood that it exists there, and no one can see his race, gender, age, and his voice is the same as that it is impossible to distinguish any information about him.
This is the Supreme Judge, created by the gods and heavens in order to maintain justice, which has no emotion, only determines justice, and its judgment is based on the "Code of the Gods" and the evidence and arguments provided by the original defendant.
"Sit down. β
"Hearing. β
With the majestic voice announcing the opening of the trial, the trial also entered the official beginning stage.
This time, the Aesir sent Sakya, the goddess of history.
The trial begins with the plaintiff stating the grounds of appeal, then the defendant responds and can challenge it, and the plaintiff refutes the defendant, and so on.
Soon the intersection of the case was centered on the first point of divergence.
Sakya exclaimed, "The plaintiff has no evidence to prove that we sent Loki to seduce the plaintiff's god horse, Swadir Fali, and the plaintiff's accusation that we maliciously interfered with the progress of the project is unreasonable. β
Wang Yun also replied in a loud voice: "Then may I ask, why does Odin's mount, Slepnis, have the blood of Svadilfari and Loki at the same time?"
Sakya didn't budge: "That only means that Loki is having an affair with the stallion, but it doesn't mean that we are maliciously interfering with the progress of the project." β
Wang Yun argued: "From the time Slepnise was born, we can deduce the time when Loki and Swadir Farli met, and this time is the last few days of the construction period. β
Sakya said confidently: "But that can only be determined around the time of the winter solstice, not exactly what day it is." And as far as I know, Swadir Farli disappeared after that, and there is no evidence at all for what you say. β
Wang Yun scratched his hair irritably, and said unrelentingly: "Even without Swadilfari's help, my client has completed the work. β
Sakya replied contemptuously, "The contract we signed stated that it should be completed in half a year, and the time of signing it was the summer solstice, and the time for him to complete it was one o'clock in the afternoon on the winter solstice, which is already beyond the time. β
Wang Yun seemed to have lost confidence, and said in a low voice: "Half a year is 183 days, so my client is in ......"
Before Wang Yun could finish speaking, Sakya interrupted: "A year is 365 days, half a year is 182 days and 12 hours, and one o'clock in the afternoon on the winter solstice is already beyond the time stipulated in the contract. β
Judge: "The defendant, please do not interrupt the plaintiff's speech at will, and give you a warning." β
Sakya nodded slightly at the judge, "I'm sorry." β
Wang Yun said loudly: "It's okay. β
He swept away all his previous unconfidence and depression, and said loudly and quickly: "The defendant just said something wrong, a year is not 365 days, but 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes and 9 seconds, so half a year is 182 days, 15 hours, 4 minutes and 345 seconds." According to what you have just said, the contract you signed with my client is calculated from 0:00 on the summer solstice, and the deadline for the construction period should be 3:04:34 p.m. on the winter solstice. You also said that my client completed the work at 1 p.m. and completed it within the construction period, so you should fulfill the contract and pay my client in full. β
Sakya was speechless for a moment, unable to organize an effective counterattack.
Judge: "Does the defense have any evidence or rebuttals?"
Sakya: "His calculation is not right, there are only 365 days in a year. β
Wang Yun said to the judge: "Your Excellency, the contract between the two parties does not clearly indicate the specific number of time and days, only the period of half a year, and does not indicate how many days a year is, so I think it should be calculated according to the basic facts, a year is 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes and 9 seconds." β
Judge: "What statements or evidence does the defense have?"
Sakya: "Your Excellency, I think we should make a decision according to the time that is usually used by people. β
Wang Yun: "I object, Your Excellency, if we want to talk about people's common time, then do we still have to think about the Chinese calendar? According to the Chinese calendar, a year ranges from 360 to 390 days. β
Sakya: "You're messing around. β
Wang Yun: "I'm seeking truth from facts. β
Judge: "Quiet, according to the principle of general facts, there should be 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes and 9 seconds in a year, is there any problem for the plaintiff?"
Wang Yun stood up and bowed to the judge: "No, Your Excellency, we look forward to your fair trial." β
Judge: "What about the defense?"
Sakya gritted his teeth and said, "No. β
Judge: "Then this court pronounces the verdict." β
