By the time I got back to Buck's bookstore, it was already sunset.

Under the rays of the setting sun, Nie Yuan and Nancy walked into the bookstore, and after saying hello to Gustav, who was already free, Nie Yuan went to Buck to report the mission.

Roughly described what happened today at Count Lilian's place, and gave Buck a rough description.

Buck nodded when he heard this, indicating that Nie Yuan had done a good job and that there were no mistakes.

Then, in Nie Yuan's heart, the matter that had accumulated for an afternoon.

He tentatively said, "Buck, there's something I want to tell you. ”

Buck smiled: "I also have something to tell you, but maybe we are talking about the same thing, you can talk about it first." ”

Nie Yuan was surprised when he heard this, and said, "I was robbed of ten silver coins today, well, but this Rubik's Cube is worth three gold coins, if Count Lilian didn't lie to me." ”

Buck had an expression of "expected" and said, "Guessed, follow me upstairs." ”

Then he turned around and led Nie Yuan to the dining room on the second floor.

From the book with the [Handwriting of Truth] in it, Buck pulled out the yellow paper, handed it to Nie Yuan, and said:

"Look at it, this is what happened shortly after you left."

Nie Yuan took the yellow paper, looked down, and thought about it.

He wasn't too surprised, after all, he was mentally prepared.

The "1+1=will" presented on the yellow paper is undoubtedly connected with what happened to me today.

It's just that Nie Yuan needs to further corroborate a lot of speculation.

This yellow paper, whether it predicted that he would be robbed, or was it the answer given after the robbery happened?

This is very important.

Because of an accurate prophecy, and a "report" that comes out after the event has occurred.

There is a world of difference.

Accurate prophecy is something that cannot exist in one's previous cognition.

No matter how powerful a prophet is, it is impossible to be so accurate, predicting that within a certain day, a very small probability event will inevitably occur.

Even if there is, it's either a blind cat that has touched a dead mouse, or there is a human factor in it.

That is an ability that mortals cannot master, not to mention that as long as they can refine enough [Truth Handwriting], it is very likely that they will take measures to prevent the slightest occurrence before those events occur.

And if it is presented again after the incident, although it is just as powerful, after all, without any material transmission medium, it is very extraordinary to be able to directly present the situation that happened in the distance.

But compared to accurate predictions, it is still too inferior.

Nie Yuan thought for a while, then looked up and said to Buck: "When the abstract source is triggered by special abilities, it is often accompanied by some unpredictable events, among which 'bad events' are mostly regarded by some ancient books as the price that needs to be paid for using special abilities to obtain benefits.

In those descriptions, the world is very balanced, and what you get, you will give as much as you want, but there are also many people who come up with special abstract sources that are not in the category of 'balance theory' to refute that kind of statement.

It is difficult to say what kind of thing the handwriting of truth is, and whether it can be completely summarized in the abstract source, but the effect of its expression is completely worthy of our in-depth exploration, and such an effect is really somewhat ...... It's against the sky. ”

Buck had listened well, and while listening, he nodded in agreement, but he was stunned when he heard the word "against the sky".

But he quickly understood, smiled, and said, "I can always come out of your mouth some strange words, but I can understand."

Yes, the utility of the handwriting of truth, no matter how you look at it, is entirely worth digging into, and it may be of great use in special times.

And its appearance also let us know that those two "Lost Alchemy" are real miraculous things, as long as they can be used, they will produce unimaginable energy. ”

"Yes, as long as we can decipher the raw materials above, supplemented by advanced alchemy techniques, we can master all kinds of wonderful abstract sources."

Nie Yuan first agreed with Buck's words, and then said, "But it also takes a long exploration process to verify how the alchemy creations recorded in it can trigger their characteristics.

And whether there will be some 'bad consequences' like abstract sources in the process of use.

This handwriting of truth actually contains some paradoxes, which need to be verified in depth.

For example, he did give the answer, I would be robbed if I went out today, but if it was a foreknowledge, I saw the answer before I went out.

If I choose not to go out, will I not be robbed?

If so, then the answer to it is wrong, I don't go out, and the established fact of 'being robbed' has not been achieved, then its efficacy is questionable.

If not, it would be even more terrifying, I would stay at home and be robbed.

Isn't it too terrifying to prove that you, Nancy, and Gustav together can't resist the robbers, and that they will be forcibly robbed of their belongings?

So what if I get the conclusion that I will be robbed today and hide in the central church? Or even hide under the protection of the true body of the gods? ”

Speaking of this, Nie Yuan stopped talking, Buck will definitely be able to understand the rest of the words, and there is no need to explain too much.

Because if the answer to "robbed" today would definitely become an established fact.

So if you hide under the protection of the gods, won't you jump out of an existence that is stronger than the gods to take away your belongings?

Or is it the gods themselves who will rob themselves of their ten silver coins?

Isn't that the equivalent of manipulating the gods?

Buck smiled after listening to Nie Yuan's narration, and said, "Indeed, this thing still needs us to explore and experiment deeply, but it's not that exaggerated, it's refined by me, and I know that its material is very ordinary."

And when it came up with the answer in the afternoon, it could feel that something beyond its level could not be answered.

For example, if you ask it about the gods, then there will definitely be no answer, and it will be ignored.

Even if, as you said, refining a very high-level 'handwriting of truth', it is actually difficult to invisibly manipulate the situation around you through the established answers.

Because when you're strong enough, its answer today is 'won't be robbed'. ”

Nie Yuan reacted when he heard this.

Ha.

Seems to be the case.

Sure enough, I thought too much.

Thinking of this, Nie Yuan changed the topic slightly and said, "I'm just putting forward a hypothesis, with a slightly exaggerated rhetoric, because if this thing is of high enough quality and the questions answered are complex enough, it is indeed possible to promote certain things through the answers."

For example, will the king die today? After getting the exact answer, we can still rely on knowing in advance that the king will die, and do some of the things we need.

Let's not mention these more in-depth things, the most important thing now is actually to verify whether the efficacy of this thing is predicted in advance.

After all, as you said, it was only after I had been gone for a while that it came to its conclusion, and you have to know whether this conclusion surfaced before or after I was robbed. ”

Buck smiled, "I was prepared, I don't know if you can recall the exact time, and when I sensed it came to the answer, it was 2:15 p.m." ”

Nie Yuan spread his hands when he heard this, and said, "I don't know the exact time, but I can recall it about 2:30 p.m." ”

"I gave the poor man ten silver coins at the twenty-sixth second of 2:17~"

Suddenly, Nancy's voice, who was playing alone not far away, rang out.

When Nie Yuan and Buck heard this, they both turned their heads to look at her suspiciously.

Looking at Nancy's sworn gaze, Nie Yuan was surprised: "Why can you remember the time so accurately?" ”

Nancy thought for a while and replied truthfully: "Because sometimes you need to know the time when you hide in a place where others can't see it, and you also need to know the time when the orphanage is cooking. ”

"Is that so?"

Nie Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "Then little Nancy, what time is it?" ”

"At 6:47 p.m. and the thirty-eighth second, it has been 47 minutes since the Green Fox University renewed its theater today...... Barker, can you buy a radio, I've saved up several theaters, and the new theaters are of very high quality, I haven't listened to them for a few days, and I'm not used to it. ”

"Okay, I'll buy it tomorrow."

Buck agreed to Nancy with a smile, and then looked up with Nie Yuan, and the pendulum clock behind Nancy showed the time:

6:47。
