Donner didn't know how long he had been standing in the sun. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When he slowly recovered from the shock, he repeatedly muttered a sentence in his mouth: "The knight goes north, the mage goes south......" He vaguely felt that this sentence was probably not so simple.

Most likely, his "crossing" was not an accident, but a part of the doctor's plan, and even more daringly, he even suspected that this plan had been secretly formulated when the Jingwei was built.

So, the name "Jingwei" is a hint, and the doctrine of the God of Light is also a hint.

So, could it be a hint that the doctor deliberately arranged the two major forces of this world?

Knights to the north, mages to the south...... Donner thought about it for a moment, but in the end he didn't think of any possible answer.

Before getting back into the carriage, he glanced south. What is there in the equatorial belt where the kingdom of heaven is mistakenly located? Could there also be a spaceship in the southern hemisphere south of the equator?

If so, they would have the same mission as him, and if not, the genetic factories in the southern hemisphere would still be functioning normally, and sooner or later, there would be monsters and aliens that were so powerful that Downer feared them.

Perhaps, after Donner has resolved the contradictions between Middle-earth and the Magic Continent, the next enemy to face is from the Southern Hemisphere.

Thinking of this, Donner withdrew his gaze, shook his head slightly, got into the carriage, and headed for St. Petersburg.

He had to suppress the shock in his heart and calmly face everything in front of him.

......

Two days later, on the southern outskirts of St. Petersburg.

On this day, the day of the completion of the Seven Bridges in St. Petersburg, all the members of the Inspectorate gathered in the open space on the east bank of the St. Francis River.

Downer dismissed all the workers a day earlier. Now, the site, which has been chaotic for five months, has been given a makeover.

Six stone arch bridges lead from both banks to the two small islands in the middle of the river, and there is also a bridge between the islands that connect them to each other.

On both sides of the river, where the stones were stacked and where the workers rested, were laid with grass, and there was no sign of the construction site at all. The small island in the middle of the river has been renovated into two beautiful parks.

"I can't believe that all of this was done in five months...... President Grantis smiled.

The gray starling on the shoulders of the elder also said softly: "I really can't think of it...... I can't imagine ......" drew laughter from Miss Nancy and the others.

"John, I'm afraid the budget is more than budgeted if it's done so quickly, right?" said President Grantis, his face suddenly becoming a little embarrassed - whenever he considered the budget and funding, Grantis would always frown.

Before Donner could speak, Vincent, the vice president of the society, had already said with a smile: "Elder, budget has long been not a problem for John. ”

Grantis looked at Donner with some bewilderment. This old man, who is immersed in a pile of papers and only does learning, probably has no habit of caring about current affairs.

"It's a little over budget, but it's fine...... Donner explains with a smile.

"No problem, how can it be okay if you exceed the budget?" Grantis's old face immediately pulled down: "John...... There's no extra money to fill in......"

Speaking of which, Grantis realized that everyone was looking at him with a smile, as if everyone did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

"What the hell is going on?" he wondered.

Donner was about to answer, but this time Miss Nancy took the lead.

"Grow up...... Don't you know? John is now the most money-poor man in St. Petersburg......" The middle-aged Maitim woman, who had been an assistant to the president for more than ten years, glanced at Donner with a smile.

"Is this true, John?" exclaimed President Grantis.

Miss Nancy is exaggerating...... I've been making some money lately, though. Donner shrugged.

"Thousands of amethysts...... Grow up...... In the days that John was away from the Academy, he had earned at least a few thousand amethysts......" Vincent, the vice president, continued.

"Thousands...... Thousands of amethysts?oh my god, is this true?John ......" Grantis glared at Donald.

"I can't figure out exactly how many, most of them have been replaced with cores......" Donner smiled wryly.

"Why do you want so many cores?" asked Grantis.

"Elder, you're so focused on your studies," Vincent slapped his ass without a trace, and said with a smile, "...... I don't even know that St. Petersburg has recently produced a genius of the magic array......"

"John, so you've been spending all your energy on the magic array lately?" Grantis's face was a little ugly.

"My lord," Donner explained with a bitter face, "I started out just to make some money and fill the budget holes in the bridge project, but then I didn't control it, and it ended up like that...... However, now that the bridge has been built, I will get back to business. ”

"Not controlled?" Vencent looked at Donner with strange eyes, making such a big move in a few months, and it was only because he didn't control it?

"Hmm...... The budget was enough," Grantis smiled again, and pretended to complain, "Who told you to do it, saying that it could be built in five months." ”

"Well, it's good that it was done......," Donner raised his arm, wiping the sweat from his forehead that wasn't there.

"However, in order to punish you without distinction ......," said Grantis, "your salary will be withheld until the end of the year." After saying this, the elder glanced at Donner, intentionally or unintentionally, presumably observing his reaction.

"Oh......" Donner nodded with a sad face.

"Come on, let's take a look at the notice you made......" The elder was pleased with Donner's reaction and led the group to the bridge.

In front of the bridge on the east bank of the St. Francis River, Donner made three stone tablets for the craftsman to inscribe the math puzzle for which the bounty was offered.

That is, the Fermat conjecture, the four-color conjecture and the seven-bridge problem. The problem of the shortest path proposed by the two vice-presidents of the Inspectorate has been solved by Grantis himself.

"Hey, what does that name mean?" said Vice President Vincent, pointing to one of the steles, puzzled.

"Oh, yes, I found out about the Seven Bridges problem because I was inspired by a bridge-builder...... So I named the question after him...... Donner explained.

"Hmm...... Darwin's Labyrinth...... That's a nice title. Grantis looked at the stele on Vincent's finger and nodded slightly.

......

Many years later, when talking about Darwin's labyrinth, the bridge-builder Ada still remembers the distant afternoon when the lame man took him to see the stele.
