Chapter 31: I've never seen anyone so brazen

(Ask for collections, ask for recommendation tickets, ask for investment!) )

Seeing that Qin Rongshuai decisively rejected him, Pythagoras felt a little incomprehensible, and said anxiously, "You don't understand what you rejected, we are not those ordinary sects, we advocate knowledge and truth, we hold the key to the mystery of life, we can be as immortal as knowledge and truth, you can obtain these." ”

"As immortal as knowledge and truth? Do you mean eternal life? Qin Rongshuai sneered twice, "I said so many lofty slogans, and in the end, it wasn't to hide my greed." What you pursue with your knowledge is not the truth, but you just want to make yourself immortal. ”

"No, you're mistaken." Pythagoras hastened to explain, "When we say immortality, we mean the spirit, the knowledge you leave behind. Join us and spread the truth with us. ”

Qin Rongshuai smiled and suddenly asked, "In that case, do you dare to put down the scepter in your hand and say this again?" ”

Pythagoras was startled, and subconsciously clenched the Hermes scepter in his hand. Then he realized that he had fallen into the trap of Qin Rongshuai's words, and tried to explain: "No, you misunderstood me, I just want to have a longer time to pursue knowledge and explore the mysteries of the world......"

Qin Rongshuai didn't speak, just kept watching Pythagoras defend himself, Pythagoras himself couldn't go on, he said in a dry tone: "How did you know the secret of the scepter?" ”

"I know far more than you do, don't think you're the only one who holds the key to infinite knowledge." Qin Rongshuai said proudly, he pushed away Qin Ruishi in front of him and walked in front of Pythagoras, "You are most proud of mathematics, the famous Pythagorean school, then I will use mathematics to defeat you and let you see who holds the truth in your hands." ”

Pythagoras suddenly became interested, and his face became solemn, "Come on, let's have a good debate." ”

Qin Rongshuai looked up at him and muttered for a few seconds, "Can you turn that thing off?" It's too glaring. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry." Pythagoras hurriedly hid the scepter's brilliance.

Qin Rongshuai looked up again, "No, I mean, you better wear a hat." ”

“……”

"Forget it, don't worry about these details." Qin Rongshuai took a deep breath and began a series of questions. "I heard that you invented the Pythagorean theorem, but someone in my country has long proved that the sum of the squares of the two right-angled sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse."

"Do you know what the circumference of a circle is to its diameter?"

"It's three!" Pythagoras replied quickly.

"Wrong, mathematicians in our country calculated roughly between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927, although it is very close, but it is actually an infinite non-cyclic number."

"No, it's impossible!" Pythagoras exclaimed, "There is no such number, there is no such number in this world." ”

Qin Rongshuai sneered, "Do you know what an irrational number is?" Do you remember that disciple of yours who was thrown into the sea and drowned, Hippasus? If you keep saying that you want to spread knowledge and truth, but you only disseminate knowledge that you believe in yourself, and you can't listen to the theories put forward by others in the slightest, is this what you call spreading the truth? You call it the exclusion of dissidents and the stifling of the truth, but you have made a high-sounding excuse for yourself, and you are going around falsely saying that you want to spread the truth. ”

"You!" Pythagoras' intuitive eyes darkened, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shut up, shameless old thief." Qin Rongshuai directly interrupted the other party's words, "Haoshou horseman, gray-haired old thief, I have never seen such a brazen person!" ”

Pythagoras trembled angrily, pointed his finger at Qin Rongshuai for a long time, and didn't say a word. After a long time, he let out a long sigh, as if he was ten years old, "I'm sorry, I want to be quiet, I'll come back to you tomorrow." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out slowly.

It's a pity.

Qin Rongshuai looked at Pythagoras' distant back with regret, his mouth cannon attack did not break the defense, was it because he didn't use it well or the opponent's face defense was too high?

Qin Rongshuai didn't think about debating mathematics with Pythagoras at the beginning, if he changed the time, he could give the other party a hundred big questions, and let him have a good understanding of what it means to be a five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation.

Not tonight, he had to hurry to Leonidas and inform him that it was useless to go to the temple of Delphi and ask for an oracle, for those people had long been bought by Persia.

After all, completing the main quest is the most important thing, and the Hermes Scepter is too tricky to take down in a short time, so you can slowly figure it out when you are free.

Unfortunately, he was delayed by Pythagoras for a while, and when he arrived near the temple of Delphi, he saw Leonidas walking out of the temple with an angry and helpless face, and it seemed that things were not going well.

Qin Rongshuai greeted him and asked pretending not to know, "Your Majesty, have you gone to the Delphi Temple to ask for an oracle?" ”

"Oh? Qin, what are you doing here? Haven't you slept yet? Leonidas was a little surprised, he didn't expect to look at Qin Rongshuai here, "It's a difficult thing to fight against Persia, I'll go to the temple and talk to the priests." ”

"Your Majesty, there is something I want to tell you." Qin Rongshuai pretended to hesitate, and said in a heavy tone, "I suspect that the people in the temple of Delphi have colluded with Persia. ”

"I know." Leonidas sighed.

"You already know?" Qin Rongshuai was slightly stunned.

"They forbade Sparta to go to war with Persia and made me want Xerxes to submit." Leonidas said with a sneer.

Qin Rongshuai suddenly remembered the plot in the game, and he asked tentatively, "Are the people in the temple all wearing masks and black robes?" ”

Leonidas was slightly stunned.

Seeing Leonidas's expression, Qin Rongshuai knew that he had guessed correctly, "They are the people of the Kosmos Cult, that is a secret organization, they have long been in collusion with the Persians, and their purpose is to let Xerxes rule the whole of Greece." ”

"I've known this for a long time." Leonidas sighed, "They already had a showdown with me in the temple just now, but what if they knew. ”

"Then let's deal with them." Qin Rongshuai said solemnly.

"My friend, you don't know about this, it's easy to kill them, but after killing them, things will be serious." Leonidas reluctantly patted Qin Rongshuai on the shoulder, "The Temple of Delphi has a very important position in Greece, and no ruler will try to challenge their authority. ”

"I'm not talking about killing them." Qin Rongshuai smiled slightly, and said in a seductive and encouraging tone, "What I'm saying is that we can control them. ”

When Leonidas heard this, he was immediately surprised, and hurriedly asked, "How do you control them?" ”

"Kill all the disobedient first, leave those who are willing to obey us, and then send our people to replace them slowly." Qin Rongshuai pulled out his machete.

"It's a difficult plan, they have their own tightly organized system, they have their own branches in each city-state, they usually hide in various corners, and they wear masks when they meet. Except for the people in the organization, no one knows their true identity, and will often communicate in secret letters and code words, our people don't know anything, and they will soon be recognized. Leonidas frowned.

Qin Rongshuai was shocked, it turned out that Leonidas knew so much about the Cult of Kosmos, it seemed that he had also thought about how to infiltrate the other party.

"This is not a problem, because I already control a branch in Athens, and their secrets are already in the hands of my people." Qin Rongshuai said confidently, "Now my secretary is the head of the Athenian Kosmos Branch, I can ask him to come over tomorrow and help Your Majesty the King to rectify the Kosmos Cult in Sparta together." ”

When Leonidas heard this, a gleam suddenly appeared in his eyes, "I'm going to get my people up now." ”

Although the words were simple, there was a strong murderous aura in the tone.
