Chapter 53
Eliog stamped his feet in anger and cursed in front of his compatriots: Imbosi, you little brother, if you have the guts, come down and fight me in a duel!
In Persia snorted, turned around and hid in his father's arms. His arrogant attitude made the other three cats angry.
And the other side.
Levin was excited, and his eyes showed no trace of concealment.
If the probability of "Mr. Isius being ranked first" was only 80% before, now it is definitely more than 100%!
Otherwise, whose cat could solve the Matros problem?
He really didn't expect that his method could actually successfully find the number one human ranking!
But how should he get along with him? Before he knew it, Levin interacted with him very naturally. However, after he knew it, he became timid and didn't dare to get close to him at all. Especially after the four cats came back, Mr. Isius seemed to have formed an absolute domain around him, and he couldn't get close to him at all.
What should he do? Levin really wished the chancellor was there to give him advice!
And at the same time.
There are still some doubts in the audience, but the facts are happening before their eyes, how can they refute it?
There were about 3,000 people at the scene, and more than half of them were still unable to react. They were all in shock, with their minds filled with the image of Gray Cat holding a pen and solving Matros's puzzle.
Are cats now so powerful? How can we raise such powerful cats?
Several crazy cat lovers were envious and jealous, looking at the four cats around Hughes, and they were quite tempted to pounce on them and pet them.
Just ask, who can resist a cute and smart cat?
"By the way, who is the master?"
"I wonder too. Black hair and black eyes... he doesn't look like someone from our country."
"To be able to raise such a smart cat, his level should be quite high, why does he only look like level 32? Can anyone identify his true level?"
"No, I can't identify him. He looks like he's level 32. Is he just an ordinary person?"
"No, no, are you serious? It's not a cat at all..."
After the game, they should have left, but they wanted to stay and continue watching, and talked about it on the platform.
In another area, most of the magicians did not leave and were still whispering to each other.
"Do you know who that person is? Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere?"
"Him? I know. He's a magician who came from the Os Empire to study. He often brings his cat to the library. You probably saw him when you passed by, right? I see him often, but I didn't expect his cat to be so powerful..."
The magicians are still in shock and cannot fully accept this matter.
A problem that they had been struggling to solve, let alone understand, for so many years was actually solved by a kitten. This was a huge blow to their self-esteem.
In a sense, this incident can be recorded in the history of magic.
Historians would probably write this: In the year 1034 of the Human Era, a little kitten with gray fur and green eyes solved a crucial problem in the history of human magic, causing a sensation and leaving a significant mark in history.
Ah, it’s shocking just to think about it.
One magician was so skeptical that he stood up and shouted, "Teacher Milad, I don't think the magic beast can solve the Matros problem. There must be something wrong."
He spoke calmly and seemed to be merely raising a question.
He should be puzzled. Because that is not an ordinary problem, but the Matros problem, which has troubled many magicians for more than 800 years. Even this magician himself has been studying the Matros problem for decades and has written more than a dozen papers on Matros!
Now, the Matros problem has been solved. There was no sign at all, how can you let him accept it?
Magician Gil was not a troublemaker, he just wanted to be sincere. He bowed respectfully to Milad in the audience and said sincerely: "Teacher Milad, can I also watch the proof process?"
His doubts are very legitimate. Just because it is only certified by Millard does not mean that the solution is correct. This matter can still be questioned.
Hearing this, Milad suddenly raised his head from his shock and looked at the young magician Gil who was questioning him on the platform.
He thought to himself, I am more inclined to question this kind of thing, but I have also studied the Matros problem for three years, and now that the solution is out, I can tell at a glance whether it is true or not.
Of course, Milad is an old magician after all, so he would not say that to your face. Since someone has doubts, then go ahead and verify it.
He put away his shock, put on the aura of a mentor, and said to all the magicians present: "Okay, you can come and verify it. I also invite everyone to come and test it."
After hearing what Milad said, all the magicians on the field, whether they had doubts or not, became interested, and hundreds of them came down at once.
Milad saw this and said, "Limited to 10 people, come together."
Haha, let’s experience my shock together.
A group of ten was quickly formed and they walked off the stage to pass the papers around, but everyone's eyes widened.
They clutched the papers in their hands, shocked.
“It’s actually true.”
"It's perfect. So the Matros problem can be solved? I thought it was just something that Master Matros wrote randomly..."
"Idiot, how could Grand Master Matros write nonsense!"
The ten-member marking panel certified all the answers as correct, causing everyone present to gasp in shock.
The answer is indeed correct, this is the real solution!
The people from the Sword Saint family obviously had darker faces, each as black as the bottom of a pot.
Phoebe couldn't help but curse, "Grandpa, this must be cheating. A cat can't solve the Matros problem. Milad must have colluded with King Levin to intimidate us!"
The old sword master sneered when he heard this, and the wrinkles on his face were trembling. He said leisurely: "Whether it is or not, they all need to be taught a lesson."
If you offend the Sword Saint family and the descendants of the Sword God, even God will be skinned alive!
In any case, the game is over, and since so many magicians have verified it, there is no point in questioning the answer itself.
Unless you can find Grand Master Matros himself and ask him if the answer is like this, but Grand Master Matros is elusive, who can find him?
Let’s just forget it.
Looking at the situations at the various platforms, Levin shook his head, thinking that it was strange that a cat could solve the Matros puzzle, without even looking at who its owner was.
Even if it is impossible for it to answer this question, its owner can definitely do it. What if you continue to question and make Mr. Isius unhappy? Mr. Isius is a state guest!
Levin stole a glance at Isius and found that Isius was not angry at all. He was just watching from the sidelines with a kind of detached calmness.
Levin sighed in his heart, is this the magnanimity of the number one human being, not caring about these trivial matters at all.
Moreover, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the four cats and one bird didn't care at all, as if they had formed a kind of territory of their own. No matter how turbulent the outside world was, they just lived a peaceful and quiet life.
No one else can get close at all.
Levin hadn't felt it before, but now he just felt that Mr. Isius was really special.
At this moment, Hughes suddenly turned his head and heard: "Mr. Levin, the game is over, can we go now?"
Levin was stunned and said subconsciously: "Ah, yes, sure, I will send someone to your bookstore as a reward."
"Thank you very much."
"No, you're welcome."
Xius turned his head and glanced at the audience, a little embarrassed, "My child seems to have caused some trouble for everyone."
Levin shook his head immediately. "No, no, they are the ones who are questioning. The little gray cat is so smart, lively and cute. What's a mere Matros problem? Why can't it be solved?"
The gray cat was dumbfounded when he heard this. You human, you are trying to please my father by fawning on me, right? But you have a good eye!
The black cat sneered and really wanted to pat the human on the head. What was there to praise about this little brother!
"Mr. Levin is exaggerating. Although He is indeed a smart child who has loved learning since childhood."
Although Hughes was being modest on behalf of his child, his smile was harder to suppress than AK. As a parent, who wouldn't be happy!
However, the situation here seemed a bit complicated. Xius noticed some movement out of the corner of his eye and felt that it was not advisable to stay for long.
"That's all for today. I'll take them away first. We'll see you again if there's a chance."
"well!"
Levin hurriedly led the way himself.
At the same time, the announcement of the official end of the game sounded.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the first cat skills competition. The competition has now officially ended. Please follow the instructions and leave the venue in an orderly manner. If you have lost anything, please go to the announcement room and repeat it. Please leave the venue in an orderly manner. Guests with cats or other pets, please pay attention and don't forget to take your pets with you."
The announcement continued as people left the venue from the six channels.
But some people don't want to leave.
Just as Milad turned around and prepared to leave, someone from the Jupis family arrived.
A man in white stepped out of the void. Everyone who knew him knew that he was the second steward of the Jupiter family, who was good at cunning and sophistry and often appeared in the family's external affairs.
Seeing as if something was about to happen again, some people stopped and turned to watch.
The second butler came to question Milad.
He had a sharp face and shrewd eyes. He stood in front of Phoebe and the old swordsman, with his hands behind his back, slightly bent, staring at Milad, and said, "Teacher Milad, please stay. Regarding what just happened, is there a possibility that you and the king have worked together to set up a trap? You already knew the answer to Matros's puzzle, and you deliberately included it in the question to let the cat answer it, right?"
The atmosphere changed again, and everyone who hadn't left looked over. Many people were stunned, because they didn't expect the Jupis family to fall out directly.
The other party is a great magician. Does your family really have no scruples at all?
The second butler continued, "Millard, I heard that this question is not in the booklet at all, and you added it without permission. So, may I ask why you added this question?"
Milad was speechless in his heart about his doubts. If I knew the answer to the Matros puzzle, would I use it to engage in conspiracy? These idiots don't know the significance of academic research to them!
As one of the top magicians in the country, Milad is not someone who is afraid of trouble. He released his magic power and looked around the audience with cold eyes.
But before Milad could show his power.
The magician Gil who had just questioned couldn't help but jump first.
Kiel cursed: "What collusion? If Professor Milad knew the answer to the Matros problem, he would definitely publish it academically. Do you know what the Matros problem means?"
The other magicians were also indignant. If Mr. Milad knew the answer to Matros's puzzle, how could he not publish it? For magicians, who wouldn't want to carve their names into the history of magic? Even if it was just a few annotations, they would be deeply involved in the history of magic! Who would use it as a bargaining chip in a political struggle and lose the first right to authorship?
This is simply doubting the character and professional accomplishment of Mr. Milad as a magician! Even if you are from the Jupis family, it is too outrageous for you to say this.
These magicians are not the nobles in the city. They have the association as their backing and are not afraid of the Sword Saint Family, so they dare to fight back.
Mentor Milad focuses on magic research, and his strength is not bad, but he seldom takes action. Does the Sword Saint Family dare to bully the great magician?
The second butler frowned with an unpleasant look on his face. He really didn't know anything about magic research, but what if Milad could do it?
The second butler also had the support of the Sword Saint Family, so he was very confident. He turned to look at Milad and asked, "Why did you have to ask that question?"
Milad stared at the Sword Saint family and said coldly: "There are not many difficult questions I can think of, and I wanted to test it, so I chose that question, not deliberately."
Kiel said, "Are highly intelligent magical beasts rare? Why can humans raise difficult questions but cats can't? Are you discriminating against them?"
Most of the audience were cat lovers, and his words resonated with them immediately.
Someone muttered, "Yeah, why can't a cat solve a magic problem? What if it's a magical cat that's proficient in magic? Nothing is impossible in this world, right?"
"Yes, what if it is blessed by the goddess of wisdom? The goddess of wisdom can give wisdom to all things, and the blessed creatures are far more intelligent than other creatures."
The second butler was tired of listening and asked sternly: "Do you have any evidence?"
Before he could finish his words, the old swordsman walked out from behind him, scanning the entire place with murderous intent.
Everyone was horrified, and those who wanted to speak paused.
Milad snorted. He didn't like to cause trouble, but he wasn't afraid of it either. Who would be afraid of a head-on confrontation?
He walked out of the platform and was about to use his magic.
Suddenly a voice broke the deadlock.
"Well, I know why."
Everyone looked at the person who had spoken and saw that it was a woman in a purple robe.
She is also Xili.
Xili came to the Oedipus Empire from the Oss Empire a week ago to study. In the morning, she heard that there was a cat skills competition, so she came because she was a little interested. But she was late, and when she arrived, the competition was almost over. The winning cat was actually a cat she knew.
Xili was stared at by everyone and had to explain: "Mr. Isius is a student of Master Matros. I met him in the Os Empire before. I didn't expect that Mr. Isius would also come to the Oedipus Empire."
As soon as she finished speaking, the magicians around her fell silent and everyone stared with wide eyes.
"He, he is actually the student of Master Matros?"
Kiel remembered, "Yes, I heard that the student of Master Matros is a young man with black hair and black eyes. I have always wanted to meet him. I didn't expect to meet him today!"
"Wait, that makes sense!"
Milad was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "I was wondering how a cat could possibly solve Matros's puzzle. It turns out that its owner is a student of Master Matros. I was really scared just now."
Xili nodded. "I was also shocked. I guess I got the answer from being around the master."
A female magician said, "Indeed, what Mr. Milad asked for was an answer, and the cat knew the answer, so of course it gave it. Haha, I see. I was really scared just now. If the magic problem that has troubled humans for more than 800 years was solved by a little kitty, wouldn't humans really be inferior to cats?"
"But it's pretty amazing. It can grab a pen and write. It's really cute."
"He must be pestering his master to learn magic all the time, right? He's a good cat. Damn, I want to have one too, what should I do?"
After Xili revealed her identity, fewer people questioned her, because it was too reasonable.
I'm a student of Master Matros, so why can't I raise such a smart kitten?
You know, Master Matros is synonymous with miracles. He has invented and improved countless magics, and is a legend among legends. The students of such a great being must be omnipotent.
Matros's authority convinced almost all the magicians and most of the people present.
After all, the problem was named after Matros. No one could accept it.
The second butler watched the group of magicians shouting and singing, and was furious, but he remained calm on the surface. If I can't deal with it now, I can deal with it sooner or later.
Phoebe gnashed her teeth secretly and whispered, "So what if he is Matros's student? He is not Matros himself. And even if he is Matros himself, so what? We are descendants of the Sword God. Why should we not dare to kill him?"
The old swordsman laughed, waved his hand and walked away, leaving behind a sentence, "If you can't deal with it during the day, you can deal with it at night!"
A few seconds later, all members of the Jupis family disappeared.
Next, amid the noise, Milad returned to the room and remained silent for a long time.
Leaving aside the matter of Matros's problem, looking back, we have to say that the development of things was beyond imagination. It was the person recommended by the king himself who won the first place.
Levin left a long time ago. Didn't we set up a trap to find the No. 1 ranked person? Where is the No. 1 ranked person? You have completely offended the Jupis family. You have almost no high-level strong backers behind you, and you dare to offend them?
They can make you die without even knowing how!
Milad frowned deeply, as if he was also thinking about his position.
After what happened today, he undoubtedly became a supporter of the king. But he only cared about his research, so how could he care about so many things?
Milad overlooked one thing, so that he was close to the truth but could not think of the truth.
Regardless, there was no objection to the result of the match and it was recognized by the majority of the nobles and people present.
The news that the students of Grand Master Matros appeared in the Oedipus Empire soon spread throughout the imperial city.
As this news spread, the fact that the Matros puzzle was solved by a cat was covered up. Most people would just think that how could a cat solve such a complicated magic problem? It must have learned from its owner.
Only a very small number of people who witnessed the scene would think that the cat obviously solved the problem by itself at the time. It was thinking on the spot instead of just giving the answer.
In any case, the name "Isius" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and people are inevitably suspicious of him.
At this time, it was already dark and the time was already 18:30.
Milad had many questions in his mind and was a little worried about the safety of Levin and Isius. After all, the Sword Saint family would never let them go easily.
"A student of Grand Master Matros? But he only looks level 32. Is he hiding his strength, or is he..."
-
at this time.
Hughes had just said goodbye to Levin and returned home. He put the children down on the ground, then closed the outer door with a worried look in his eyes.
“It always feels a little dangerous.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the four cats' pupils shrank and they started grabbing with their claws.
The little rag doll jumped up immediately and threw itself into Hughes' arms, meowing.
Xius looked down and asked in surprise, "You said we don't have to worry about them because you can kill them all?"
“Meow!”
"Haha, you're still young."
"Meow!"
"Dad doesn't disbelieve it, it's just... you are still young."
The other three cats stared at the spoiled little puppet and rolled their eyes at him.
Beelzebub turned to Impos and said: Has He always been like this?
Inbosi nodded and said faintly: It has always been like this and has never stopped.
Beelzebub snorted.
Eliorg's face darkened. That position was originally mine!
Xius was amused by the little puppet and patted his head and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you something."
The four cats immediately became alert and wondered what their father was going to say!
Zeus slowly taught, "You were still young, so I didn't teach you this. I'm using today's incident to tell you that it's dangerous to show off your power in front of others, especially since there are too many unknowns in this world, the gods are capricious, and strong humans are not necessarily lawful and kind."
The four cats were stunned and listened attentively with extremely serious eyes.
Xiu Si's eyes were serious, with a hint of unquestionability, and he emphasized: "I know you all have the ability to survive, and you can escape back to the abyss in time when you are in danger, but you still have to be careful, understand."
The four cats nodded. The synchronization rate was so high that it was almost impossible to tell the difference.
Hughes couldn't help but smile, and he patted everyone's head again, and continued, "Of course, no matter what happens, it won't be your fault."
Theus's view of good and evil is relatively primitive, but he never teaches them to do good. Because survival always comes first, they are not human beings, and they will never be human beings. There is no need to act according to human rules, and they do not need to have any burden.
He continued, "Evil people do evil and bully others, but we don't have to reflect on our own problems. If we have any problems, then there is only one problem, and that is strength. Do you understand?"
Xius has experienced a lot of things. Back then, the brave team went in and out of the major divine kingdoms for missions. He has seen everything. Today's scene is not even a big one.
"but……"
He smiled, "If something happens and we can't fight, we can just run away. Inbos, you know teleportation magic, right?"
The gray cat meowed to indicate that the home was safe. It came over and put its paw on Zeus' bracelet, saying that no matter what danger he encountered, he just needed to inject magic power into it in time.
"good."
After getting to know more about Imbosi's abilities, Hughes trusted him more.
My child is worthy of having lived for more than 8,000 years. His understanding of magic is much stronger. The outside world does not know about this, so they question it.
He touched the gray cat's face and continued, "That family might be targeting us. Although I don't know why, we still have to be careful, understand?"
The four cats nodded immediately. They looked well-behaved and cute, but they were actually thinking that they were the ones who should be careful!
Xius spoke for about half an hour before the house finally had some quiet time.
Suddenly the door opened, and four cats tiptoed out of the dormitory, and then took human form in the bookstore.
Their overly beautiful appearance makes the entire space look classy, as if this is not a small bookstore but a top-notch aristocratic club.
Beelzebub leaned against the bookshelf, his long eyelashes slightly fluttering, revealing a pair of gem-like eyes. With his stern appearance and cold temperament, the whole demon was as cold as an iceberg.
"Then again, there is indeed a group of humans watching us."
Buyer smiled and blinked, his smooth silver hair spread out, his features were beautiful and delicate like a doll, his skin was extremely white, and his eyes were as blue as a lake. He said nonchalantly, "So what? Isn't it easy to deal with them?"
Eliorg turned his head and looked at Him, reminding him: "Father likes a peaceful life."
Buyer smiled proudly, "Why not build a country for your father? Let your father live there and do whatever research he wants. It will have everything he needs, and the years will be peaceful. Then we can delay the time for you to change history."
Inbos inexplicably asked: "The Truman Show?"
They more or less share their father's memories or knowledge, so they know some knowledge about their father's original world. "The Truman Show" created a false world for Truman, but did not tell Truman, so that the whole world could watch Truman's reality show.
Because Bossia thought it was too fake, he disagreed with it.
Beelzebub didn't care about this. He changed the subject and looked at Eliog, saying, "That's about it, Eliog. It's time to go to work."
Eliog frowned. He certainly knew what job Beelzebub was talking about, but he really didn't want to go find Amon and the others.
He was silent for a few seconds. "I want to tell you in advance that if Amon finds out something about me, we will be beaten up by Big Brother."
Because Amon will definitely tell his eldest brother Baal, and Baal will definitely beat them if he finds out.
Inpos wanted to oppose looking for Amon, but he also knew the necessity of this matter.
"Go ahead, we can talk about it later. History must be rewritten anyway, otherwise we wouldn't have to hide it from our father."
Beelzebub nodded and said to Eliog, "Just be careful. Amon's eyes can see through everything. Don't reveal any flaws. Oh, and be careful not to be followed by Him."
Amon ranks seventh among them, nicknamed the Hermit. His power is [Existence and Nothingness]. His ability is very troublesome, even perverted.
Sometimes you would rather offend Baal than Amon, because this guy can play with you to death, and he has a bad taste in nature. Except for his father, everything is a toy to him.
Eliog doesn't like Amon and hasn't spoken to him for more than three thousand years. Now that things have come to a point where he goes to ask him questions, he feels a little embarrassed.
But for my father...I’ll fight!
Seeing Him like this, Beelzebub also said, "I am leaving too. I have to investigate the mastermind behind this."
Eliorg asked, "What clue did you say you found? Why haven't you heard from me in three days? Did you forget it again?"
Beelzebub glanced at Eliog and said, "I haven't forgotten, but I'm not sure about some things."
Eliorg: "Okay, check it out first, I'll leave it to you."
Buyer watched their conversation and found it interesting. He smiled and said, "You two have a really good relationship."
Eliog and Beelzebub turned around and cursed at the same time: "What's good about this? It's been like this for so many years!"
Buyer smiled but said nothing. Perhaps he remembered something and warned them: "Don't let other compatriots find out again."
They agree on this point.
Because there can’t be any more!
Beelzebub reminded him, "You two should protect your father well. Don't just let your father play the role of the Lord of the Abyss just for your own pleasure. OK?"
Buyer snorted, "You guys obviously want to see it too."
"Anyway, don't mess around!"
"Okay~"
A few minutes later, there were only two demons left in the bookstore.
Buyer lay on the front desk, rolled over like a kitten, and said sadly, "Finally left."
Inbosi looked outside the door, and no one knew what he was looking at.
-
at the same time.
Xiusi in the dormitory had another dream. It was a very deep dream. He seemed to have fallen into the deep sea and couldn't swim.
Although he was clearly in the sea, he could hear sparse sounds in his ears, like the sound of wind blowing through the bamboo forest on a spring day.
Various senses are mixed together in dreams, hearing is also vision, vision is also smell, everything is a mess, mixed evenly, inseparable, and strangely harmonious.
Here, his spirit seemed to be able to rise infinitely and expand infinitely. As long as he wanted, and kept thinking, his spirit seemed to be able to cover the entire sea.
Once a person awakens from a dream, he or she will instinctively want to take back control of himself or herself.
So, although he was clearly dreaming, he was also invading dreams.
The more he honed his mental strength, the more he seemed to be able to control his mind. There was no time in the dream, and he explored it endlessly, just like picking up shells on the beach in his childhood. As long as he wanted to pick them up, he could pick them up continuously because the sea would keep hitting them up.
The spiritual resources of dreams are inexhaustible.
He felt curious about this, so he kept exploring and immersed himself in the depths of this dream.
He didn't know that Vashak suddenly woke up at this moment.
He looked at the spiritual power overflowing from Zeus in astonishment. It was the first time in more than 8,000 years that he saw spiritual power overflowing.
Although I knew that my father had great mental strength, I didn't expect that the value would be full.
What on earth is going on?
Even without asking the reason, what will happen if this kind of mental power overflows?
Vashak looked closely and even discerned multiple divinities.
Is the concentration of divinity in my father’s spiritual power too high?
He was about to think so when he saw that the concentration was still rising.
Straight up!
-
Almost at the same time, at 12:12 p.m.
The assassins from the Jupis family rushed to the door of the bookstore and surrounded the entire bookstore in a few seconds.
The identity of "Matros's student" did not dispel their desire to kill, but made them even more murderous.
They quickly arranged their positions and within a few seconds they found a breakthrough point and rushed into the house.
It would be enough to just kill that young man! They immediately looked for someone, sneaking in aggressively.
And the next second, they paused.
The room was dark, but there were two glowing gems hanging in the air.
It was actually a pair of eyes! No, that's not right, it was two pairs!
They retreated in fear, but the darkness faded, revealing two beings of extraordinary temperament.
A woman with silver hair and blue eyes, extremely beautiful.
A woman with black hair and blue eyes, she is very elegant.
"It's the Abyss Lords Buyel and Inpos!"
Someone recognized him on the spot, but died within a few seconds.
Buyer smiled and grabbed a man by the collar. He was smiling brightly just now, but the next second he was fierce and fierce. He whispered playfully, "Tell the strongest person in your family to cut off his hands and feet and roll over here within one minute, or I will go over there myself."
The man was covered in hair, his mind was blank, and he asked tremblingly: "What...what are you going to do?"
