Yes, numbers. The contents of the common sense implied in these stone tiles are numbers one after another. Most of these large floor tiles have one or two numbers on them, while a few stone tiles are completely blank. In addition, Dorothy also found common sense with meanings other than numbers at the bottom of some stone pillars.
"Numbers? Interesting... It seems that the secret door opening is not written directly on the surface..." Dorothy thought to herself. At first, she thought that the secret in the Prayer Light Church might be like the remains of the Star Number Book Society under the Holy Crown University, that is, a secret door that can only be seen and opened by the Beyonder of "Initiation" with the help of the General Knowledge. In the end, the General Knowledge does exist, but there is no clear information about the secret door. Instead, there are a bunch of numbers that seem incomprehensible at first glance.
Dorothy thought that she had discovered the secret on the floor tiles, and then she pretended to be visiting and began to walk around the hall, recording the patterns on each floor tile. After walking around for a while and making sure there was nothing noteworthy, Dorothy found a place to kneel down and pray for a while, and then left the hall.
After leaving the Prayer Church, Dorothy walked all the way to the hotel where she was staying. After taking off her head and veil, Dorothy sat on the chair on the balcony, where she recalled all the information recorded in her mind today, especially the numbers in the hall.
In her mind, Dorothy analyzed all the floor tiles in the hall. She memorized the numbers on all the tiles, arranged them according to the original positions of the tiles, and then quickly discovered the mystery.
"This... is a math game..."
Thinking about the arrangement of the numbers on the floor tiles in the hall, Dorothy realized in her heart that the many numbers written on the floor tiles of the temple were essentially a mathematical game.
Not all tiles have numbers on them. Tiles with numbers and tiles without numbers are staggered on the floor of the hall. A careful analysis will reveal that these numbers are related to each other. The numbers on the numbered tiles can be used to deduce the numbers on the blank tiles. Dorothy saw the rules for deduction on the common mark under the edge of the pillar.
Although there seem to be many differences, this math game is still similar to the Sudoku in Dorothy's previous life.
The numbers on the floor tiles in the hall are divided into two parts. One part is the largest question area, and the other part is a very small answer area. The answer area is located in front of the altar. The floor tiles there are written with basic number structures such as zero to nine. If they are combined with each other, you can get the numbers on the blank tiles in the question area.
Dorothy guessed that the secrets hidden in the temple would only be revealed after she solved this alien version of the Sudoku puzzle. She needed to step out all the answers in the puzzle-solving area in front of the altar and offer a "divine dance" to the god that was supposed to be enshrined in this temple. This seemed to be a traditional sacrificial activity of the First Dynasty.
"It really is worthy of being an ancient civilization that has inherited a lot of inspiration. Even the sacrifices are performed by playing math games. Fortunately, the difficulty of this math game is not high. I should be able to figure it out with a little calculation."
Dorothy thought so in her heart, and then she closed her eyes and began to seriously calculate the large Sudoku that seemed to be in another world with the entire temple floor as the theme paper, trying to calculate all the answers. After a quick calculation, she couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"That's not right... I can't come to a conclusion no matter how much I calculate. Is there something wrong with my calculations? No, that's not right. It's because he didn't give enough conditions!"
Suddenly, Dorothy discovered that there was a problem with the math game. She should have missed a number on the floor tile. On the floor tile that should have had a number, there was a blank space. And because of the lack of this necessary number, the whole problem became invalid. The conditions were not sufficient, and a necessary data was missing. No matter how she tried to solve the problem, it could not be solved.
"There is one floor tile missing... What's going on? Is there something wrong with the structure? Or is one of the floor tiles damaged? But the traces don't seem to indicate that..."
The calculation activity came to a standstill, and Dorothy fell into deep thought for a moment. She touched her chin with her hand, trying to think of what was wrong. Finally, she thought of the row of obelisks at the entrance of the hall that were said to be able to attract lightning.
'If I remember correctly, it was said in Berard's third notebook that the people of the First Dynasty believed in thunder and lightning, and in sacred numbers. They regarded letters and numbers as given by God. They believed that wisdom was brought to the world by thunder, and therefore thunder was a sign of revelation.
'Now if I think about it carefully... those obelisk arrays that can attract lightning are not the ones that guide revelation. According to the tourist introduction, after lightning strikes an obelisk, it will jump to the tip of other obelisks, and then there will be a scene where several obelisks are connected by lightning.'
Dorothy thought about this, and then carefully recalled the simple picture in the tourist guide that depicted the scene of lightning and lightning. The lightning between the obelisks in the picture seemed to be a number in ancient Ufficiale, as if it was seen from a bird's-eye view. After thinking about this number, Dorothy suddenly understood where the missing number in the hall came from.
'So that's how it is. The obelisk arrays are the sacrificial tools for seeking enlightenment from thunder. When lightning strikes one of the obelisks, different arc connections will be generated between the tips of the obelisks. If you look at these connections from top to bottom, it's a number, a number from the First Dynasty.
'If you bring this number into the math game in the hall, the whole game can be successfully run and all the questions can be solved. Since the number produced by each lightning strike is random, after substituting it into the math game, the appearance of the whole game is also random and different, and the final answer is also different.
'In a sense, this is a question from thunder and lightning to humans. For the people of the First Dynasty who respected thunder and numbers and believed that thunder brought enlightenment and wisdom to living beings, this is a very meaningful way of worship.'
Nodding silently, Dorothy thought to herself that if she wanted to solve the puzzle in the temple now, she only needed to guide a lightning bolt to strike the obelisk. After getting the number revealed by the lightning, she would bring it into the puzzle in the hall to calculate, and after getting the answer, she would step on it in front of the altar.
This operation was not difficult for Dorothy, but the problem was that all these operations had to be carried out in the Prayer Light Church, and the whole thing would cause quite a stir. Now, the Prayer Light Church was the territory of the Savior Advent Sect, with Red Cheng-level Extraordinary people in charge. Would she dare to do all these operations under their noses?
