Chapter 82: The Answer
The answer to this question is to ask the same question to each of the two gatekeepers: "If I ask another guard, the guard will say which one is the door". ”
Wang Xiaotian's voice echoed in the main hall, and the many nobles who were still waiting to see the joke gradually began to quiet down, and slowly, the whole hall could hear the needle, only Wang Xiaotian's not grand voice echoed in the ears of many nobles.
"Stand in front of one of the guards and ask the other guard which one is the Shengmen!"
Wes muttered in his mouth, thinking about Wang Xiaotian's answer, and the more he thought about it, the darker his face became, as if this answer could solve this problem perfectly.
"Yes, when the Traveler asks the real guard, he must be pointing behind the lie guard, and when the traveler asks the lie guard, the lie guard must be false, and therefore, he is also pointing to the door behind himself. ”
"For this question, both guards will point to the Death Gate, so that the traveler can walk through the other door and leave calmly!"
“...... And so it was. ”
......
The voices in the entire hall began to gradually recover, and the mouths of the nobles began to murmur, according to Wang Xiaotian's answer, the question of the omniscient seemed to have been solved.
Wang Xiaotian was at the center of everyone's conversation, shrouded by the magic of the All-Knowing, he just quietly looked at this wonderful magical creation, and his heart was already confident.
Hearing the whispers of everyone in the hall, Weiss's face became more and more gloomy, and his eyes when he looked at Wang Xiaotian became more and more maliceful. He is a dignified prince, and countless nobles and wise men under him have not passed the test, and Wang Xiaotian, a local nobleman from a remote area, actually gave him such a faceless in Magnolia, which made Weiss's face very ugly.
In fact, this problem is not a difficult problem, it seems that this omniscient person has some logical questions for the questioning session, but it is easy to induce others to enter the misunderstanding, or grasp the misunderstanding of people's thinking, like this question, the principle is actually very simple, and the double negation is yes.
"Congratulations, young human, you have successfully passed my questioning test, and you have three chances to ask me three questions, and if I can't answer all three questions, and you can give the correct answer, you will pass the test. ”
The voice of the All-Knowing, as always, made Dean Leonard's eyes shine, and it was already remarkable that he was able to successfully pass the first test.
"Young nobleman, on behalf of the Bellery Academy of Magic, can I make a reluctant request to you!"
In the stunned eyes of everyone, Dean Leonard slowly spoke, and a rare smile appeared on the face of the serious and old-fashioned ** teacher, because of the perennial straight face, academic ** teachers like Leonard spend almost all year round in the mage tower, these rational mages show very little emotion, therefore, when Leonard showed a smile, Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but start to worry in his heart.
"Reluctantly?"
"Yes, reluctantly. ”
Wang Xiaotian looked at Leonard, his eyes kept flashing, he didn't know what this old man had in mind, Wang Xiaotian looked at Leonard like this, waiting for his next step.
And the surrounding aristocrats exploded.
"Didn't you say you couldn't receive outside tips during the test, and why could Dean Leonard communicate with him?"
"The reluctant invitation of the Boleri Academy of Magic, this is a great favor!"
“......”
The voices of the nobles who were originally whispering in the entire hall became more and more noisy, and Dean Leonard frowned, and pressed his left hand lightly.
"Silence!"
"Decree: Silence!"
Leonard, as a golden mage, especially an academic mage, has dabbled in many kinds of magic, and a simple silence can still be used.
As the nobles of the hall discussed, when Wang Xiaotian answered the question of the All-Knowing, the magic effect that shrouded him was automatically lifted, and at least he could communicate with others without barriers.
In fact, for the omniscient, its mission is not to test everyone, it is a magical creature with a reserve of knowledge, and asking one question is a test, and the last three questions are considered supplementary knowledge.
As a knowledge-based magical creature, it has the function of absorbing new knowledge in its instincts, so it will not restrict Wang Xiaotian from finding difficult problems, on the contrary, the more difficult the topic, the more in line with its original intention of creation.
Soon, the invisible magic of the law was activated, and the noisy hall immediately fell silent, and Dean Leonard didn't care about everyone's reaction, but watched Wang Xiaotian explain slowly.
"The All-Knowing, Derstanbrev, has learned through our Academy's search of ancient texts that this is not a simple ancient magical creation," Leonard looked at Wang Xiaotian quietly, and there was excitement in his old words, "Ever since the Void of Life and Death sent it out of the White Tower, we have been investigating its origins. ”
"What does its origin have to do with me?" Wang Xiaotian looked at Leonard directly.
"Young man, you must know that it may not be difficult to create a simple storage type of magical creature, but to be able to make such a tower-like magical creature that can make self-judgment and flexible calculations, at least it is necessary to enter the existence of the Holy Realm, and the omniscient is obviously a more advanced existence. ”
There was a rare hint of excitement in Leonard's voice.
"In ancient times, there were people who passed the first test of the omniscient, and the last three questions asked themselves whether they were sure whether they could be omniscient. Therefore, in ancient times, some wise ** masters, they would ask about the difficulties of a certain magic experiment, and many of the major magical breakthroughs recorded in the Boleili School of Magic were the powerful computing power and rich knowledge reserves of the omniscient. ”
The more Leonard talked, the more excited he became, for a magical science maniac, there was nothing more attractive than solving puzzles, especially since there were several projects in the Berery School of Magic that were being tackled recently, and the consumption of gems and potions these days was like running water, if this all-knowing person could solve this difficulty, it would be a hundred benefits for the Berery School of Magic.
Listening to Old Man Leonard's words, Wang Xiaotian understood.
This omniscient person, at the very beginning, was created for the purpose of serving as the tower spirit of the super mage tower, which has a large amount of ancient knowledge stored in it, and can serve as the tower spirit must have super high computing power, therefore, with the decline of the ancient mages, the descendants of the occasional fate also use it as a "super brain".
Generally speaking, most of the opportunities for later generations to ask questions about the three questions are used to ask about major difficulties in the field of magic.
"That'...... What do you mean, old man?"
Wang Xiaotian looked at the old mage who was reluctant to face Wesna's gem mine and the Potions Valley, and there was obvious excitement in his words at this moment, Wang Xiaotian naturally muttered in his heart, he was afraid that if he angered the old mage, he would probably have to go out sideways.
"I mean...... The knowledge base and computing power of the all-knowings are legendary, if we are not sure, can these three questions be asked by our Bellery Academy of Magic? ”
Leonard's words are very straightforward, nothing more than that the knowledge base of the all-knowers is very strong, and the computing power is also very powerful, and instead of wasting three problems in vain, it is better to cooperate with the Bellery School of Magic, and they are willing to pay the price in exchange for the right to use the "all-knowing computer".
"This ...... Well...... this."
Wang Xiaotian looked at Leonard and groaned, to be honest, as a time-traveler, he came from a world completely different from the development of magic, Wang Xiaotian believed that the omniscient may indeed be great, unparalleled in the field of magic, but it can't even know scientific things! Therefore, he is sure to pass the test.
......
The other side.
"Your Excellency!"
Seeing that Wang Xiaotian successfully solved the first problem, George couldn't help clenching his fists excitedly, and a flush swelled up on his face, which made Jenny scramble again.
"Brother George, don't get excited, if you can pass the first test, that adult will not suffer," Jenny comforted softly, a pair of beautiful eyes revealing a deep sense of guilt, and the magic in her hand couldn't help but rush to George.
George listened to Jenny's reassurance, and couldn't help but turn his head and look at Jenny.
"I haven't seen each other for two years, and the shy little girl of the past has grown up," George thought with some relief.
In his memory, Jenny was still the shy girl who lived in the town, and her face was flushed when she laughed a little, and she hadn't seen her for two years, the thin girl who always wore an old gray dress in his memory, and after two years, George saw her again, and he was a little afraid to recognize her.
She had become pretty, so thin that it was doubtful that a gust of wind could blow it down, and now it was beginning to plump, and George could feel the warmth in Jenny's arms. The girl who used to have a slightly yellow face, but with a simple atmosphere of a small town girl, her white facial features now reveal a coldness, and the power of magic makes her look like a special charm.
"She's changed!"
George thought silently in his heart, looking at this strange and familiar face, George suddenly felt that he seemed to have done something wrong. He probably shouldn't have interrupted Prince Wes's marriage arrangement for Jenny.
She was now so noble, so radiant, that she should have danced at the banquets of the nobility, and not here for a guard with his hands covered in blood.
"Alas!" sighed lightly, George's originally resolute face gradually softened, and the eyes that had been full of enthusiasm for Jenny just now gradually dimmed, and he found that he was no longer worthy of this noble mage, perhaps, he should let Jenny go, she should be the brightest star of Violet, instead of being unknown to him in the wild places of the West.
Despite his decision, George could feel a sharp pain in his chest, a heart-rending pain. He still remembered that in the side hall of the Colorful Hall, he had been eating with Kuru and the others, and when he heard that the guards of Prince Wes were laughing and talking about the fact that His Royal Highness Wes was going to pursue Master Jenny on behalf of Joborg, the dazzling magic nova, George picked up his sword and rushed into the main hall without hesitation.
When facing the elemental guards and academy guards of the Bolery Academy of Magic, George did not hesitate, and the rune war knife in his hand couldn't stop striking the ultimate blow, and he only had one thought in his heart, that is, to really meet Jenny.
Silently feeling the pain in his heart, the corners of George's eyes glistened with crystals, this iron-blooded tough guy who was bombarded by countless elemental guards outside the main hall and passed through the sea of corpses and blood was actually crying.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
Holding the frail George, Jenny was also looking at this young man who was a childhood sweetheart.
"He's ......"
After looking at it for a long time, Jenny said silently in her heart.
In that town, the young man with a blank face lying in her arms at this moment, he used to have the heartiest smile in the whole town, and Jenny remembered that every evening the boy would always run to her excitedly with the softest bread in town. It was the best time she can remember, George smiled unforgettablely, this big boy did not have the deceit of the nobility, and the simple words revealed unspeakable care.
Today's George, the sunny boy seems to have grown up, his face has become resolute, and the edges and corners are clear and cold, without that immaturity, and a little more manly calm.
Feeling the gloom in George's eyes, Jenny also flashed a trace of confusion in her eyes, she didn't know what was wrong with George, and she didn't know that at that moment, the man who loved her deeply chose to give up.
Perhaps Jenny felt that George had grown up and matured, and that she had a strength and fortitude that the Magnolian nobility did not have, and that made her feel gratified.
However, she didn't think about the price behind this growth.
From the melee of multiple lords in the west, to the confrontation between Felix and the north and south, and then to the later overturn of the earl, the war almost swept the entire western provinces. While George struggles in these troubled times, Jenny learns valuable knowledge in the ivory tower.
George didn't regret it, he didn't regret giving Jenny the opportunity to learn magic in the first place.
Even if George really walked through the sea of corpses and blood later, on the battlefield, this small town boy escaped death again and again, and finally he became a warrior of Viscount Felix of Maple Leaf and became a qualified warrior.
Just two years.
George followed the town's militia to kill the wandering trolls, then followed the lord to the west, was defeated by Felix and co-opted, and he went on a crusade against the lords in the northwest, and finally he became the current Wang Xiaotian's personal guard.
This war, fighting again and again, made that sunny and cheerful boy gradually grow up, his coldness, his strength, every step is forged by blood.
......
Just when the lovers were speechless, Wang Xiaotian happened to catch a glimpse of this scene, and immediately, the corners of his mouth hooked and he spoke.
"Dean Leonard, I don't think three questions will make you give up on a good young mage, right? As you can see, my knight and Gen Jenny are in love, and as their lord, I want to give it a try!"
