Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 254: The answer

"Sorry, this dress is completely broken now." Sol took off his tattered clothes and looked at Beth apologetically.

"I only want you to live." Beth's eyes were full of tenderness.

But after a while, Beth rolled her eyes and suddenly got an idea.

"I took a lot of hard work to make this dress. Since it's broken now, how can you compensate me?"

"Compensation? Okay, what do you want?"

"I want to know how you predicted the arena competition." Beth asked instantly, obviously prepared.

"This is a big secret, I want to know the price is not small!" Saul smiled and turned his head.

Beth didn't flinch, just stared at Saul with open eyes.

Saul opened his hand on the bed, raised his hand and pointed to his mouth playfully.

Seeing him acting strange, Beth curled her lips secretly, apparently already used to this kind of trick. Flicking her hair, Beth bent her knees to ride on Thor's waist, then bowed her head gently.

These two shameless guys, come again? So let’s not talk about that bad guy, how come even sister Beth has become so unreserved? Petty hides behind the partition wall alone, looking restless.

After a sweet kiss, Saul smiled and shook his head.

"Not enough, learn two cat calls to listen to."

Beth can't laugh or cry, but think about that she has prepaid the down payment, now it's not worth shrinking, and her curious curiosity obviously prevailed. So she raised two small fists in front of her chest and made a ‘meow’.

"Yeah, it's pretty cute, but why does your cat look like you're not full? Learn two more pig calls." Sol continued to make things difficult.

Pig cry! ?

"You...I...Yeah! I did it with you!" Beth threw into Saul's arms angrily, and the two laughed together.

"Goo~!" Petty made a faint grunt hiding behind the partition wall, and hurriedly covered her mouth, not daring to laugh too loudly so as not to be caught, suddenly felt a little envious of Beth and their feelings.

The two fought for a while, and Saul put his arms around Beth and combed her smooth hair with his paws.

"Actually, the answer is so simple that you will understand it when I say it."

"Say it, then." Beth arched in Thor's arms.

"Well, I went to Byron Bian to meet the arena competition at first. I think it was an opportunity to have the astrological scam. But in fact, I am not sure about the whole scam. After all, there are so many smart people in this world."

"The answer to the scam is in the five thousand letters sent to the major families. Have you found that the total number of letters written by the two of us each time is the same as the number written by Stanter and Diller?" Thor inspired Beth.

"I found it, but the five thousand letters were evenly divided among four people. Isn't the number allocated to each person the same? Ours is the same as theirs. What can be found?" Beth answered puzzled. .

"Well, it makes sense for your understanding in this respect, then I will ask you again, have you carefully read the content of the letters written by the four of us? Is it the same?" Sol asked again.

"...Isn't it the same?" Beth was a little confused. At that time, everyone had to write more than a thousand letters, and she was dizzy. How could she read them all.

Besides, the letter template was provided by Saul. Beth remembers taking a glance at it. The four letter templates seem to be the same.

"Every semi-final match, including the names of both sides of the match, are all the same. There is only one difference, and the answer lies in this tiny place. What you and I wrote is that someone wins, Stant and the others It is written that someone is negative."

"So... how?" Beth asked uncertainly, feeling as if she had grasped something, not specific.

"This means that from the first game, regardless of the outcome of the game, we guessed at least two thousand and five hundred letters correctly, and the other two thousand and five hundred letters were definitely wrong. We corresponded to the wrong two thousand and five hundred letters. 'S family is eliminated, leaving two thousand and five pairs."

"Then came to the second game, we divided the remaining 2,500 letters in half, and four people wrote them, half won and half lost. You think about the total number of letters we wrote since the second game. Did it suddenly decrease a lot?" Saul smiled.

"Ah, I see!" Beth screamed suddenly and jumped up from Saul.

"The remaining 2,500 letters in the second game are still half right and half wrong. After the game, there are still 1,250 letters left, which is a correct prediction. Then in the third game, half points and half points continue. To the last scene."

"I’ll do the math, one thousand two hundred and fifty... six hundred twenty-five... three hundred..., the last one corresponds to the remaining after eight games... exactly nineteen families or twenty families, I Are you right?"

Beth's tone was very excited, her little head turned quickly, and even the whole person trembled with excitement, as if she had seen a big secret in an instant.

"Yes, there is not much difference between nineteen families or twenty families. When these twenty or so families are left in the end, the result in their hands should be all pairs in eight games, regardless of the outcome of each game."

"The reason why I didn't rush to withdraw money, deliberately waited for the arena competition and gambling to pass before composing an astrological story. I just wanted to dispel their doubts a little bit at the level of will."

"Anyway, as long as they can't see through the secrets, they may be hooked. My initial requirements are not high. As long as ten of the 20 companies are arrested, or even a few less, it’s okay. We didn’t have much cost. Why? It's all earned empty-handed."

"Unexpectedly, luck, all the last twenty companies sent money." Saul put his arm on his arm and looked calm.

"So in the final analysis, you didn't make any predictions at all. You just showed them the known answers in a different way, right?" Thinking about those days of empty-handed cheating, Beth still feels like a dream.

"Ha, it seems that you, a little maid, often follow the master and become a lot smarter." Saul rubbed her head.

"You really are... a big liar, big badass!" Beth lay on Saul's chest, rubbing her head, and for a while she didn't know how to describe Saul.

"Thank you for your appreciation. I never believe that there are innocent people in the world who can use their money to build our own paradise. This is undoubtedly a very meaningful thing."

"In fact, the biggest key to the whole scam is the problem of vision. The vision I am talking about does not refer to people's experience and knowledge, but refers to different positions and different visions."

"Every time they receive a letter, they are in a one-to-one contact with me. Maybe they can guess that other families must have received letters, but they did not take the number of this'other family' in a broader direction. miss you."

"And as the sender here, I am single to five thousand. This is a secret overall situation. It's not that those Patriarchs have no overall view of the overall situation, but that they are in a position where they simply cannot see the overall situation."

"If you put this overall situation under the light on the table, those people must have figured it out a long time ago." Sol concluded.

"Tsk...Tsk, this is forty thousand golden eagles and six hundred thousand silver coins!" Beth couldn't help but exclaimed.

"So I said you are a little money fan." Saul put his arms around Beth, his two heads leaning together again.

Petty hid behind the wall, covering her mouth and was a little shocked. She originally thought that Sol and the others were talking about a small game, but something was wrong. The five thousand big families of Byronbian, the country of knights, what did they do?

And it sounds like they cheated six hundred thousand silver coins. How big is that? Petty couldn't imagine it at all. She shouldn't have eavesdropped on other people's big secrets, she was a little flustered, quietly turned around and opened the door and sneaked out decisively.

But before she could take a few steps, a voice suddenly rang behind her, and Sol and the others opened their doors. not good! Petty's heart squeezed, and she turned around in an instant, as if she was about to ask Saul if they needed anything.

"Are you leaving?" Petty greeted them with a smile.

"Yes, take a break, it's time to go back to the territory." Beth replied.

Saul didn't speak, but he held his hands with a half-smiling expression, and looked at Petty meaningfully.

Petty felt a little hairy in his heart when Sol saw him. Did he find his peeping? Petty thought about it for a moment. It was impossible. Before he took a peek, he used his sleeve to dust the wall so as not to stick to his face. He couldn't find it.

"What are you... looking at me?" Petty forced her composure and gave Thor a white glance.

Saul smiled slightly and didn't speak, just taking Beth as if he was about to leave.

Just when Petty breathed a sigh of relief, Thor suddenly stopped in front of her, grabbed her waist and dragged her into his arms.

"Yeah! What are you...what, you let me go." A hot male breath rushed towards her face, and Petty's entire face flushed instantly, a little flustered for a while, struggling in Sol's arms.

"It doesn't matter if you hear it. This is actually not a big secret. Someone will guess it soon, but at least for now. So you'd better not talk nonsense, otherwise I will be very cruel to the enemy. The lord's father can't keep you."

Suddenly, Saul leaned close to her ear, like an intimate hug, and whispered in Petty's ear. After speaking, he took a bite on her little earlobe, causing Petty to tremble.

"Next time you overhear professionally, your eyes will become lattice-shaped." Sol rubbed Petty's head and pulled Beth away.

Lattice? What do you mean?

Petty stood there in a daze, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his eyes, and the whole person was suddenly annoyed. She thought about the dust on the wall just now, but she forgot to stick to the wall for a long time, and the marks around her eyes were stamped out by the cracks in the bricks, but they still haven't disappeared.

"She just overheared us?" Beth was a little shocked, but the red marks around Petty's eyes were clear.

"It's okay, the little shiitake mushroom is just naughty, I have scared her. Let's go, go to Stant and them first." Saul smiled.

Sol did notice a little at a moment, but after the wall, Petty herself was an ordinary person, and the faint breath seemed to be nonexistent, so in the end he didn't care too much.

Anyway, waiting for Byron Bian to let go of the investigation, and once the news of the five thousand families were collected, there would be any secrets. The clever Princess Caroline must have guessed it a long time ago.

As for the fake name, Saul also regretted a bit. He didn't expect to involve the royal family at the time, but just used a Buu casually. Since Byron Bian is neutral on the mainland, there must be their eyeliner in the north and south.

When the time comes, you can compare the evil deeds you committed in the Southern Territory, and you will definitely not be able to hide your true identity, but the territory should still have enough time to develop before it is revealed.

In fact, even if it is revealed, it is nothing more than cheating some money. Saul does not believe that Caroline will still be unable to attack the whole country.
