Chapter 23: Mathematicians

"Thank you for your willingness to answer, in fact, this question is very simple, after all, I am not a devil. Xavier grimaced with a gloating expression, "And there must be an answer." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he wrote down the question on a piece of paper and presented it to the lamp god in front of him.

"Please prove that x^n + y^n = z^n has no integer solution when n is greater than 2. ”

This is actually the famous Fermat's theorem, which was proposed by the civil science lawyer Fermat and took more than 300 years of human history to be proved by mathematician Andrew Wiles in 1994.

So obviously, it has an answer, but can the almighty lamp god give it?

Looking at Xavier's devilish smile, the lamp god was originally a little worried, but when he saw the problem, he instantly showed a smile and said disdainfully: "Hehe, I thought you were asking a question, this is simple!"

Xavier: "???"

He didn't expect the Lamp God to give such an answer, which made him feel a little pressured.

Could it be that this lamp god is still a mathematician, and he can solve such a problem that humans have spent hundreds of years solving?

No way! Xavier didn't believe it! He didn't believe that the god of lights could be such a god!

Even if he did prove it, Professor Wiles would have written hundreds of pages back then! Then I'll see if you can write so many pages! Looking at the thoughtful expression of the lamp god, Xavier thought in his mind.

Following his gaze, he saw that the lamp god had imagined a piece of paper and began to write on it, but at an extremely slow pace, probably to stop for a few words.

Is he scaring me? Or is he really that smart? Looking at the pile of strange patterns and words, Xavier shook his head silently, and finally chose to believe in himself and the difficulty of the question.

"You can solve it slowly, I'll go first. ”

"Phew, stupid human, how can a small problem stump the almighty lamp god, you just wait!" the lamp god snorted at him, and then continued to throw himself into the process of solving the problem.

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it. ”

~~~~~~

Stepping out of the room, Xavier came to the door of the inn, ready to go out and settle for today's dinner.

But at this moment, he saw that the innkeeper seemed to be in trouble, and he couldn't help but look away.

"That's what you said last time, when will you give me the money?"

A tall and strong man with tattoos shouted as he watched the innkeeper shout.

"Wait another day, please trust me, just wait another day!" the innkeeper kept bowing, but only made the man in front of him even angrier.

"No, if you don't pay protection money, you still want to do business here, I tell you, if you don't pay today, the goddess won't be able to save you!"

"Please wait a little longer......"

Obviously, this is a case of extortion, that is, one party forcibly obtains money from the other party through force, and although Xavier does not know why this is happening in the capital, the sense of justice in his heart still makes him nosy.

"That's it!" Xavier said the line he had been trying to say.

Hearing the words spoken by the swordsman, the tall and strong man and the boss couldn't help but be stunned, and they all turned around and looked at Xavier.

"Who are you?" came from the strong man.

"I'm an ordinary person with a lot of interest. Xavier replied unemotionally.

“......”

At first, the tall man wanted to go over and intimidate the dark-haired man into not being nosy, as he had done to the innkeeper, but when he saw Xavier's two blades, he knew he shouldn't mess around, and chose to ask questions like 'Who are you' to test the other person's identity.

As a result, the other side actually replied with an answer that was not an answer at all, which made the strong man start to think deeply, could it be that this is a big man, and he persuaded me to stop through this kind of hint?

Yes, he may mean that he is still an ordinary person, but once I do it, he will become a messenger of justice who punishes me!

But...... It's also possible that he grasped my psychology to scare me not to move, but in fact, he has no ability to stop me at all!

In just a few seconds, a large number of thoughts flashed through the strong man's mind, and he didn't know how to choose. But in the end, he chose to be cautious and did not want to have a conflict.

Who knows if those two blades are ornaments or not? If there is a powerful swordsman on the other side, then he won't be able to beat it! If his life is gone, he will be gone, but the protection money can be taken somewhere else!

Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision, forced a smile, and said to the innkeeper: "Everyone is an ordinary person, and they can understand your difficulty, then okay, this month's protection fee will not be charged." ”

Then, he ran away under Xavier's gaze, so fast that Xavier had already run out of the hotel before Xavier could speak.

Suddenly, Xavier was very confused.

Didn't I just say a word? Why did the other side seem to be afraid of me? Could it be that my reputation for dealing with the Assassins in the square had spread here? Xavier stroked his non-existent beard, and thought to himself.

The innkeeper next to him was also very confused, why was the strong man so afraid of this outsider? Could it be that this swordsman was a big man?

In the midst of his thoughts, the boss's mind suddenly remembered the document that the swordsman had shown him, but he didn't look at it carefully, thinking that it was an outsider and didn't need to pay too much attention to it.

But if you think about it now, this foreign swordsman did tell himself that he was going to participate in that knight competition, and how could the person who could participate in that kind of competition be an ordinary person?

It seems that he himself is short-sighted, and he can't recognize such a high mountain in front of him! I don't know if the swordsman will blame himself for his previous rudeness!

So in the next moment, the emotion of regret immediately appeared in the innkeeper's thoughts, and he hurriedly said to Xavier: "Mr. Swordsman, thank you very much for your help!

He secretly changed his title from 'Outsider' to 'Mr. Swordsman'.

"Well, no. Xavier waved his hand and politely declined the boss's request, "I didn't do anything at all." ”

"No, no, no, your presence is already the greatest help to me. The innkeeper said with a smile.

After some pushing, Xavier finally got a refund of fifty percent of the rent, and he couldn't help but be grateful to the strong man in his heart, he actually stood up like this, and he could get the rent reduction, could it be that God saw that I had suffered that kind of assassination, so he gave compensation?" he thought to himself.

After sighing in his heart, Xavier quickly made the move of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and asked the boss: "Do you need to call the police and arrest that strong man?"

Hearing this question, the boss suddenly showed a wry smile: "No need, Mr. Swordsman." ”

"Because what the police have done to us will only be more ......"
