The little pastor is taking care of the weirdness of divinity

Chapter 73 Whale Song: Pi

"92653. Is this question so simple?" Chabron said to the [Messaging Stone] at hand, snapped his fingers, released [Time Sequencing], and turned off the turn-based mode.

"92653?" At the communication gem at the other end, in front of the magic tower, Arya thought about the meaning of this string of numbers.

In order to avoid using the exhaustive method to solve the problem, as long as the password is entered incorrectly three times in a row, there will be a 3-minute cooling time - I don’t know how Mr. Duncan came up with this idea.

And just before, she had entered the wrong number twice.

After some thought (and after confirming that she really couldn't understand Xia Bulin's thinking), the girl with an orange mage finally decided to try this string of numbers first.

With the mentality of "even if the answer to the puzzle is wrong, it's just a 15-minute cooling down", Arya stretched out her slender, crystal-clear fingers and slowly touched the red numbers on the stone tablet.

"9"

The touched number lights up with a gorgeous red light.

Behind her, the mage Bilaron, who had a +4 intelligence adjustment value and a -2 perception adjustment value, did not hear the sound of the [Messaging Stone], but heard the string of numbers that Arya silently recited, and then he was also confused.

"2"

Bilaron led the invisible wind elemental creature and walked behind Arya.I saw her trying to touch the numbers on the stone tablet to solve the puzzle and open the door.

"6"

"Hey, little girl, I believe this is just a typical prank played by Mr. Duncan Shinestone as a dwarf."

"5"

"After trying hundreds of solutions over the past few months, we have concluded that there is probably no solution to this problem."

"3"

"No matter what you enter, there is no way to open the door. If you don't believe me, you..."

"Crack!"

crunch.

The door opened.

Billalon looked at the open door of the magic tower, and the reins in his hand fell to the ground.
-
3.141592653, isn’t this pi?
On the other side of the [Messaging Stone], Chabron, who was still on the train, couldn't understand why such a simple question was used. Even if he got to the 20th digit of pi, it would still be a bit difficult.

Chabron looked out the window at the receding scenery, his face reflected in the windowpane.

Then, the handsome but slightly childish figure in the mirror frowned slightly and fell into deep thought:
"It seems too simple,

"Mage Duncan, as an intelligence professional, obviously designed a riddle that would not be so simple. The answer 92653 should have been tried many times.

"If you just want to test the first few digits of pi, just set this as a question instead of listing the five numbers 31415 first.

"As an infinite non-repeating decimal, there is no substantial connection between the first few numbers and the following numbers. Mr. Duncan listed the first five numbers, obviously asking us to find the pattern of the sequence, and then deduce the last five numbers.

“The purpose of deliberately using a familiar set of numbers is to mislead the answerer and make the answerer naturally think of pi!
“What a cunning mage, I was almost fooled!
“31415？这组数有什么特点呢？3+1=4，4+1=5？

"Is this Mr. Duncan's little idea? If we continue to deduce according to the above ideas..."

[Messaging Stone] On the other end, the voice belonging to Arya interrupted Xia Bron's thoughts:

"Great! The door is open!
"The answer is really 92653!"

[System prompt: Puzzle solving completed, gain 600 experience points]

[Upgrade progress: 1500/6000]

[(Small print) Note: Priests of the God of Knowledge will gain experience points after solving difficult puzzles and exploring answers]

what?
That's it?

Is it really 3141592653?

There are even experience points for solving puzzles.Just this kind of puzzle?High difficulty?

What on earth was I thinking just now?
The corners of Xia Bron's mouth twitched slightly, and his blue eyes were filled with embarrassment. He didn't know whether to complain that his IQ was too high or too low.

Xia Bilun just stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what expression to show for a moment.

At first he was speechless.

Then there was dumbfounding.

Then a smile ready to breathe a sigh of relief.

The smile solidified.

Then came fear.

Also, the extreme cold that penetrates the bone marrow.

The boy's fear filled his emerald eyes, and his crystal-carved face turned pale.

"······PI······"

Of course, the smart Xia Bron realized what this meant, and a thick numbness spread from his back to his whole body.
-
After Bilaron shouted at the top of his voice, "Wow, everyone, come and see, the puzzle left by Professor Duncan Flashstone has been solved!" Within a few minutes, a small group of people gathered over - basically everyone Some students from the nearby Royal Academy of Magic.

"The horrifying mystery of the dwarf associate professor" is one of the favorite topics of conversation among students during the long curfew.

This made Arya somewhat at a loss.

"Mr. Duncan Shinestone's mystery solved?"

"I already said that the exhaustive method is useful."

"Do you think that girl is just like you, planning to try a hundred thousand times (10 to the 5th power) despite the cool-down period for wrong answers?"

"(Vulgar verb has been blocked)! Associate Professor Flashstone actually set the answer?"

"Wait a minute, so that's not a stone tablet that prompts 'wrong answer' when touching a number five times?"
-
In Duncan's magic tower, in the bondage room.

"Tip: The door has been opened"

A gentle and cold voice sounded in the tower.

Duncan Flashstone had just finished calling the magic circle that summoned a certain devil, and his body trembled slightly when he heard the sound.

A group of black mist gushes out from the magic circle and quickly condenses into the shape of a white bone-shaped devil - its appearance is like a skinned humanoid creature, and its skeleton is tightly wrapped with dry skin.The terrifying creature is 3 meters tall, with a terrifying skull-like head and a scorpion tail. The air around it is filled with the filthy smell of corruption.

[Bone Demon (Level 10/Purgatory Creature (Devil)]]

"We meet again, Mr. Duncan - now, mortal, I represent the will of my master and have come at your call. You must..."

"I'm sorry to interrupt!" The dwarf mage, who was about as tall as the bone devil's knee, turned around and waved his hand impatiently, "I have something urgent now, you can go back."

"Mortals, don't try to deceive me! I have warned you in the name of my master, and you should know..."

"If you hang on to your crappy Common Tongue vocabulary, I swear I'm going to kick you in the shin with my boot the next time we meet. Yes, I swear."

The dwarf ignored the huge bone devil and looked directly at the papers plastered on the wall.

The dwarf mage's bondage room was in a mess, with many stacks of papers taped to the wall, including various designs of magic ships and scrolls with yellowed ancient spells written on them.

Duncan Shinestone's eyes moved to a piece of plain kraft paper in the corner, on which was written knowledge that even children in the entire Rioli world knew -

"The length of the side opposite the 30-degree angle in a right triangle is exactly [1/2] of the hypotenuse."

"The sum of the squares of two right-angled sides is exactly equal to the hypotenuse raised to the power [2]."

"Through a point outside the straight line, there is and is only [1] straight line parallel to the known straight line."

"The circumference of a circle is exactly [3] times the diameter of the circle."
