Chapter 402: How many floors does the Tower of Babylon have?
“~~”
Whistling in his mouth, Lao Li sat behind his desk, casually flipping through the information sent back from all over Dachu, although there were special personnel responsible for reviewing it below, but he still liked to flip through it himself if he had something to do.
"Owner! Landlord! ”
Suddenly, there was a call from outside the door, Lao Li frowned slightly, but still spoke:
"What's the matter?"
"There is a tall finger outside who wants to see you, and he has been repaired to the eighteen falls in yellow clothes, which is already at the level of gold clothes, and he says that he is your old man!"
Dressed in a coarse caftan brown, with a towel on his shoulder, the young man who looked like a running hall opened his mouth and said, although he looked like an ordinary junior second, but if he really fought, three or five grandmasters would not necessarily be able to take him.
"The deceased?" Lao Li raised his eyebrows, although he didn't think there was any old people in this realm, he still nodded and said:
"Take him to the Bamboo Forest Pavilion, I'll be right there."
"Gotcha!" The young man turned to leave, but Lao Li stood up and moved his body slightly, then he pinched a small red clay teapot and walked slowly towards the Bamboo Forest Pavilion.
A minute's stunned road made him walk for almost ten minutes, but as the door of the Bamboo Forest Pavilion opened, he swooped into the house and closed the door, and then he was surprised:
"Haven't you already returned to Infinity City? I thought you had closed the door! ”
"The door is closed, but there are advent rules!" Feng Xue spread her hands and took a sip of tea calmly, Lao Li pretended to pat his head and said suddenly:
"Look at me, I forgot that your Xuanjun is already a strange talk, what is the matter with coming back this time?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that there are some things I want to ask." Feng Xue lifted Erlang's legs, and seeing his appearance, Lao Li also relaxed, took a sip of the rice wine in the teapot, sat opposite Feng Xue and said:
"Ask me? What's up? If you want to know anything now, just go to the tavern and buy it, right? Or is it a matter of 100 things? ”
"There are no more 100 things in this world." Feng Xue said calmly, Lao Li didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a long time before digesting Feng Xue's words, glaring and saying:
"What do you say?"
"I said that there are no more Hundred Things, and Qingxing Lamp has swallowed all the strange stories of Hundred Things, and there are only a few in front of the Great Tengu and Tamamo left." Feng Xue was also afraid of stimulating Lao Li ruthlessly, so she didn't tell him that he had hammered the Hundred Things by himself.
But Lao Li, as an old antique of the same era as Hundred Things, even if it was just such a result, it had already caused him an unimaginable impact, and he muttered "how could this be" and "impossible" and the like, as if he was stunned, Feng Xue clapped his hands vigorously before waking him up.
"Anyway, I just wanted to ask you, what's on top of the Tower of Babylon?"
Hearing Feng Xue's question, Lao Li suddenly broke away from his still somewhat confused state, and frowned:
"Why do you ask this?"
Looking at Lao Li's appearance, Feng Xue couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, just this posture, he suspected that the previous demonic posture was all pretended by Lao Li.
But it doesn't seem to make sense to care about this, he didn't give a positive answer, but responded very calmly:
"It's just curiosity, after all, the Tower of Babylon is so high, and it's the center of Infinity City, everyone will be curious, right?"
"I'll just assume you're curious." Lao Li didn't dwell on this question, just like Feng Xue didn't bother with whether he pretended to be garlic or not, he just pondered for a moment, and then as usual when Feng Xue asked him a question, he first threw out a rhetorical question-
"Do you know how many floors there are in the Tower of Babylon?"
"Who knows? A thousand or two thousand? Anyway, from the outside, it's a few kilometers away, right? "I have to say that this question does touch Feng Xue's knowledge blind spot, after all, the exterior and interior of the Tower of Babylon are completely two kinds of structures, from the outside, it has no concept of layers at all, if you want to say it, only the ten-meter-high door can explain the height of the first layer.
But as far as the interior is concerned, each floor of the Tower of Babylon is more like an independent space, with the sky, the sun and the moon, even if these are false heavenly vaults similar to landfills, each floor is at least a few tens of meters high, after all, on each floor, there is a department store of more than twenty meters.
Hearing Feng Xue say this, Lao Li showed a strange smile, he shook his head, and reported a number that surprised Feng Xue a little-
120 floors.
"Only one hundred and twenty floors? Doesn't that mean that there are only 6,000 strange stories when it is full? For this unexpectedly small number, Feng Xue showed a surprised expression, but Lao Li nodded and said:
"To be exact, there are only 5,021 strange stories when they are full."
"5021 ......" For such a meaningful number, Feng Xue thought about it slightly, and then had a conjecture, and immediately said: "The first hundred floors are fifty per floor, the last twenty floors are one per floor, and there is a tower master at the end?" ”
"That's it." Lao Li didn't seem surprised that Feng Xue could guess, and said in a flat tone:
"Actually, what I told you is only what I learned from others, and I don't know if it's true, after all, I only climbed to the 67th floor, and told me that the Tower of Babylon has one hundred and twenty floors, and it is also a sixty-six-story resident, well, it seems to be called ...... It's called Sugawara ......"
"Sugawara Michizane?" When Feng Xue heard the surname "Sugawara", she immediately thought of one of the three evil spirits in the legendary Eastern Kingdom, and Lao Li immediately slapped him and said:
"That's right, it's him!"
"But Sugawara Michio should have been a man more than a thousand years ago, if he had become an acquired monster at that time, how could he be on the Tower of Babylon? If it's the power of modern stealing weird talks, how did you get the divine position of such a great god from under the nose of Hundred Things? And this kind of great god shouldn't be so easy to usurp the throne, right? ”
With just one name, Feng Xue had all kinds of doubts in his heart, Lao Li listened to his question, but did not explain much, just shook his head and said:
"I don't know the specific reason, but what I can tell you is that Sugawara Michizane should really be an acquired monster born a thousand years ago, as for whether he has been alive until today because of the incense, or whether he has been resurrected from the legend for some reason, I don't know, but what I can tell you is that from the fifty floors upwards, there are not many such antiques."
"In other words, there are many strange tales that were once worshipped as gods in ancient times that did not completely die out, but took refuge in the Tower of Babylon? That's not right, isn't Infinity City less than fifty years old? ”
Feng Xue was completely confused, but Lao Li just shook his head calmly and said:
"This is not something I can know, in the end, I am only in my thirties as a strange talker, you ask me these questions involving the elderly, I don't know, if you want to know, then you can only ask yourself, of course, first of all, you must first lay the basic plate, otherwise I will be stolen by someone when I climb the tower halfway up, that is the tragedy of the world."
