"I'm sorry, but this dress is completely broken now. Thor took off his tattered clothes and looked at Beth apologetically.

"I just want you to live. Beth's eyes were full of tenderness.

But after a few moments, Beth's eyes rolled and she suddenly had an idea.

"I've spent a lot of effort making this dress, and now that it's broken, how can you compensate me?"

"Okay, what do you want?"

"I want to know how you predicted the Arena tournament. Beth made an instant request, apparently prepared.

"It's a big secret, and it's a big deal!" Thor smiled and turned his head.

Bey didn't flinch at all, just stared at Thor with her eyes open.

Thor threw his hands out on the bed, raised his hand and pointed at his mouth playfully.

Seeing his strange appearance, Beth pursed her lips secretly, obviously used to this little trick. Brushing her hair, Beth bent her knees and rode on Thor's waist, then gently leaned down.

These two shameless guys, here they go again? Don't talk about the bad guy from Thor, why has even Sister Beth become so unreserved? Petty hides behind the wall alone and looks restless.

After a sweet kiss, Thor smiled and shook his head.

"It's not enough, learn to listen to the cat twice. ”

Beth couldn't laugh or cry, but thinking that she had already made the down payment, she couldn't afford to back down now, and her curiosity clearly prevailed. So she raised two small fists in front of her chest and 'meowed' twice.

"Mm-hmm, it's cute, but why don't you cat look like you're not full? Thor continued to make things difficult.

Pig bark!?

"You...... I...... I'm fighting you!" Beth threw herself into Thor in grief, and the two laughed together.

"Goo~!" Petty let out a faint muffled snort from behind the partition wall, and hurriedly covered her mouth tightly, not daring to laugh too loudly so as not to be discovered, and suddenly felt a little envious of Beth's feelings.

The two of them fought for a while, and Thor put his arms around Beth and combed her smooth hair with his paws.

Actually, the answer is outrageously simple, and you will understand it as soon as I say it. ”

"Say it quickly. Beth arched in Thor's arms.

"Well, when I first went to Byron Bian, I happened to encounter the Arena Competition, and I thought it was an opportunity, and that's why the astrology scam came about. But in fact, I am not sure about the whole scam, after all, there are so many smart people in this world. ”

"The answer to the deception lies in the five thousand letters sent to the major families, have you noticed that the total number of letters written by the two of us at a time is the same as the number written by Staunt and Diller?" Thor inspires Beth.

"Yes, but isn't it true that the five thousand letters are divided equally among the heads of the four men, and that each of them receives the same amount?

"Okay, you can understand it in this way, then let me ask you again, have you carefully read the contents of the letters written by the four of us? Is it the same?" Thor asked again.

“...... Isn't it different?" Beth was a little confused, how could she read them all when she was already dizzy when everyone had to write more than a thousand letters.

Besides, the template of the letter was provided by Thor, and Beth remembers taking a cursory glance at it, and the four letter templates did not seem to be different.

"Every semi-final, including the two sides with the same name, is the only difference, and the answer is in this small place. Me and you wrote that someone wins, and Stante they write that someone loses. ”

"That's ...... How's that?" Beth asked, uncertain, feeling as if she had grasped something, but not specific.

"This means that from the first game, regardless of the result, we guessed at least 2,500 correctly, and the other 2,500 were definitely wrong. We excluded the 2,500 letters that were wrong, and there were only 2,500 pairs left. ”

"Then we came to the second game, and we divided the remaining 2,500 letters in half, and four people wrote them, half winning and half losing. If you think about it, the total number of letters we wrote has suddenly decreased a lot since the second session. Thor smiled.

"Ah, I see!" Beth screamed and jumped out of Thor.

"The remaining 2,500 letters in the second game are still half right and half wrong, and the 1,250 letters left after the game are correct. Then the third game was split in half and continued until the last game. ”

"I'll do the math, one thousand two hundred and fifty...... Six hundred and twenty-five ...... Three hundred...... , which corresponds to the remaining ...... after eight games Exactly nineteen or twenty families, am I right?"

Beth's tone was very excited, her little head was spinning rapidly, and even the whole person trembled with excitement, as if she had seen some big secret in an instant.

"Yes, there is not much difference between nineteen families or twenty families, and when there are only twenty or so families left in the end, the result in their hands should be eight matches, regardless of the outcome of each game. ”

"The reason why I didn't rush to withdraw money, and deliberately waited for the arena tournament and gambling to pass, before making up an astrology story, was just to dispel their suspicions a little more at the level of will. ”

"Anyway, as long as they can't see through the secret, they may take the bait. My initial requirements were not high, as long as ten of the twenty were caught or even a few less, it would be no problem, we didn't have much cost in the first place, no matter how it was calculated, it was a big profit. ”

"Unexpectedly, I was lucky, and in the end, all 20 families sent money. Thor leaned his arm on a calm face.

"So at the end of the day, you didn't make any predictions at all, you just showed them the answers you already knew in a different way, didn't you?" Thinking about those days of cheating with her bare hands, Beth still felt like a dream at the moment.

"Ha, it seems that you, the little maid, have been around your master a lot, and have become a lot smarter. Thor rubbed her head.

"You're a ...... Big liar, big bad!" Beth lay on Thor on his chest, rubbing her head and rubbing her head, not knowing what to say about Thor for a moment.

"Thank you for your appreciation, I have never believed that there are innocent people in the world who can use their money to build our own paradise, and this is undoubtedly a very meaningful thing. ”

"In fact, the biggest key to the whole scam is the problem of vision, and the vision I am talking about does not refer to people's experience and knowledge, but to the different positions and different views. ”

"Every time they receive a letter, they are in one-to-one contact with me, and maybe they can guess that other families must have received letters, but they don't think about the number of this 'other family' in a broader direction. ”

"And I, as the sender here, is one-to-five, which is a hidden big picture. It's not that those heads of the family don't have a sense of the big picture, it's that they are in a position where they can't see the big picture at all. ”

"If you put this overall situation under the light on the table, those people must have figured it out a long time ago. Saul concluded.

"Tsk...... Tsk, that's 40,000 gold eagles, 600,000 silver coins!" Beth couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's why I said you're a little money junkie. Thor put his arms around Beth, and the two heads were pressed back together.

Petty hid behind the wall, covering her mouth in shock. She originally thought that Thor was talking about some small game, but it sounded a little wrong, the five thousand big families of Byron Bian, the country of knights, what did they do?

And it sounded like they had cheated them out of 600,000 silver coins, which was a lot of money? Petty couldn't have imagined. She was a little flustered, quietly turned around and opened the door and slipped out decisively.

But before she could take a few steps, a voice suddenly came from behind her, and Thor's door opened. Petty's heart tightened, and she turned around in an instant, as if she had just arrived, as if she was going to ask Sol if the two needed anything.

"Are you leaving?" said Petty smiled as she greeted the two of them.

"Yes, after a rest, it's time to head back to the territory. Beth replied.

Thor didn't speak, just clasped his hands and looked at Petty meaningfully with a half-smiling expression.

Petty was a little hairy when he was seen by Saul, could he have found out about his voyeurism? Petty thought about it for a moment, it was impossible, he had brushed the dust on the wall with his sleeve before peeking, so as not to stick to his face, he couldn't have found out.

"You...... What are you looking at me for?" Petty forced her composure and gave Saul a blank look.

Thor smiled slightly, didn't speak, and just took Beth with him as if he was leaving.

Just as Petty was secretly relieved, Thor suddenly stopped in front of her, grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into his arms.

"Ah......h What to do, you let go of me. The scorching masculine breath rushed to her face, and Petty's whole face instantly turned red, and she was a little flustered for a while, struggling in Thor's arms.

"It's nothing you heard, it's not really much of a secret, someone will guess it soon, but at least for now. So you'd better not talk nonsense, or I'll be cruel to my enemies, and your lord father won't be able to protect you. ”

Thor suddenly leaned close to her ear, whispered something in Petty's ear as if in an intimate hug, and then bit her little earlobe, making Petty shiver.

"The next time you eavesdrop on the professional, your eyes will become checkered. Saul rubbed Petty's head and pulled Beth away.

What does it mean?

Petty stood there stunned, subconsciously raised her hand and touched her eyes, and the whole person was suddenly annoyed. She thought about the dust on the wall just now, but she forgot to stick to the wall for a long time, and the marks around her eyes were pressed by the brick cracks, and they haven't been erased yet.

"She just eavesdropped on us?" Beth was a little shocked, but the red marks around Petty's eyes were clear.

"It's okay, little shiitake mushroom is just naughty, I've already scared her. Let's go, go find Stante and them first. Thor smiled.

Thor did have a little sense of it at some point just now, but across the wall, Petty himself is an ordinary person, and that faint aura seems to be there, so he didn't care too much in the end.

Anyway, when Byron Bian let go of his hand to investigate, and the news of the five thousand families was summarized, where would there be any secrets, the clever Princess Caroline must have guessed a long time ago.

As for the fake name, Saul also regretted it a little, and he didn't expect to involve the royal family at the time, so he just used a Buu casually. Since Byron Bian is neutral on the mainland, the north and south must also have their eyeliner.

When the time comes, if you combine the evil deeds you committed in the south, you will definitely not be able to hide your true identity, but before it is exposed, the territory should still have enough time to develop.

In fact, even if it is exposed, it is nothing, just to cheat some money, and Saul does not believe that Caroline will not be able to attack the whole country.
