Chapter 75 Rule: Fools shall not survive.



Xiu summoned Mengyan, carried Du Ze and rode on him. Mengyan neighed, raised its hooves and ran towards the entrance.

By the time they reached the statue, almost everyone had arrived. When Du Ze got off the nightmare's back, his legs were so weak that he almost fell. Although he didn't feel any pain because of the necromancy, his hands and feet were so sore that they didn't feel like his own.

Xiu held Du Ze in his arms and let him lean on him. Because of the aura, no one dared to ask the gloomy lich about Du Ze's abnormality. Xiu's dull eyes scanned around, and when he saw the drunken First Magic God holding a wine bottle, the soul fire deep in his pupils shook slightly.

"Young man, nice to see you again. I heard about you from Xiao Mi'er. It turns out that we all know each other." Antonio shook the wine bottle and said with an ambiguous expression, "I didn't expect you to be willing to save these little bastards..."

The words of the First Law God seemed to have other meanings. Xiu's pale face looked very gloomy in the dim light. Antonio looked at Xiu, and his hazy drunken eyes understood everything. "They gave you the certificate, right?"

Xiu didn't avoid Antonio's gaze and nodded slowly: "Yes."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn. Antonio stared at Xiu with a look of scrutiny in his eyes. Old John and others gathered on Xiu's side without making a sound. The Golden Mercenary Team stood in the middle, looking around in confusion. In this explosive atmosphere, Antonio suddenly took a few gulps of wine and sighed heavily: "There is nothing we can do."

The First Mage stretched out his hand. Moore and the others subconsciously became alert, but they saw black flames representing their certificate appear on Antonio's palm.

"Give the old man a ride, too."

Du Ze watched Xiu silently accept Antonio's certificate, then glanced at the Golden Mercenary Squad, and suddenly understood something.

Cute Lord: The plan works.

With Antonio's joining, they no longer had to look for books or rush through the next level. Antonio was an encyclopedia, and it seemed that there was no problem he didn't know. The group of people supported by the First Magic God happily reached the last level. What appeared in front of them was no longer a statue of a monster, but a real monster with a human face and a sphinx. The monster was squatting on the road, with nothing behind it. It had the face of a beautiful woman. When it saw Du Ze and others, the monster shook its wings and changed from a prone position to a sitting position.

"This is the last question. You only have one chance to answer it." The Sphinx said, "What creature walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?"

Du Ze almost fell to his knees. The last question was so simple. How could a man not have heard of that famous Greek myth? Everyone knew the answer was "man"!

"I've never heard of this kind of monster..." Rachel sighed, "Am I too ignorant?"

Enoch said with a sad face, "I think we really need a Warcraft encyclopedia right now."

Mir pulled Antonio's robe. "Grandpa, do you know what that is?"

"My dear, grandpa is not omnipotent." Antonio opened the wine bottle helplessly, took a sip and fell into deep thought.

Seeing everyone's reactions, the silly reader suddenly realized that this was not Earth. If he didn't know the answer in advance, this puzzle would be really difficult. When he first heard this question, he couldn't answer it at all.

Emma hasn't encountered this kind of benefit for a time traveler for a long time!

“The answer is people.”

Everyone looked at Du Ze. The black-haired young man was pressing his earphones, his expressionless face showing an unusual calmness.

“I think the answer is people.”

"You made the right choice."

The Sphinx smiled beautifully, and then turned into gold powder, forming a golden road leading to the distance in the void. Everyone was a little slow to react. Enoch scratched his head and asked Du Ze curiously: "Hey! Brother, how did you come up with the answer?"

Jian Xiu also looked over. Du Ze was about to give his explanation, but at the moment he realized something and broke out in a cold sweat - he seemed to have underestimated this question.

The Sphinx said "choice" instead of "answer". The morning, noon and evening in the question refer to childhood, middle age and old age respectively. On Earth, the only answer to this question is human, but he is now in a foreign continent; here, whether it is orcs, elves or dwarves, they can all be the answer to this question. The answer to this question is no longer unique, so when answering, you must also choose the answer that satisfies the monster the most...?

Seeing that Du Ze had a cold face and did not answer, Enoch shrugged and stopped asking. He ran in the front out of habit, asking the people behind him to catch up quickly.

"Let's go, let's go~ I think we can leave this damn place soon. The thief's premonition is always accurate!"

Because the BOSS is ahead, boy.

The road made of gold powder seemed to slowly dissipate as time passed, and Du Ze and others were once again urged forward by the divine tower. On the golden road, Du Ze was still thinking about the question just now. Although he accidentally chose the best answer, what would happen if he chose other races as the answer?

——Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

At this moment, Du Ze finally realized which race this copy belonged to.

Whether it is Edward's story and the tower climbers competing with each other, or the library copy, the sphinx that symbolizes wisdom and knowledge, and most obviously the last puzzle, all of them are interpreting one sentence: [Humans paid for tolerance and took away learning.]

The golden road came to an end, and a small reading room appeared before him. A man with long brown hair sat on a soft chair, reading a book, with a long, thin wooden staff beside him, and a crystal ball on top of it was emitting soft light.

"There are three things in this world that cannot be taken away by others. One is the food in your stomach, the second is the books in your brain, and the third is the dream in your heart." The man closed the book in his hand with some regret and turned his head to look at me. "But my dream has been taken away."

The man didn't look old, but his rustic and bookish air made him look old.

"Welcome to the Hall of Wisdom. I am Soth, the chief god of the human race."

Emma is indeed a human copy... Du Ze looked at the human god still sitting on the chair, and seemed to have no intention of fighting with them. Judging from the previous situation, this boss battle should also be a knowledge quiz?

"I prefer to solve problems with wisdom rather than force." Soth said, "Fools cannot survive. This is the rule of the Hall of Wisdom. I have asked you enough questions before. Now it's your turn to ask me questions."

If I can stump you, I can pass the level, that's what it means. Du Ze suddenly felt that the BOSS of the human race dungeon was too friendly. Only when you have been a test taker, you will know how satisfying it is to be a test setter.

"Under the rules, the questions you ask must be understandable to me and have a certain degree of truth or popularity - either a theory that few people know about, or a widely circulated anecdote. Most importantly, you must know the answer; for questions with multiple answers, I only need to answer one."

Completely restricted. A certain silly and cute person was speechless and choked up. This is unscientific. Every time the protagonist of a YY article encounters this kind of level, doesn't he always use the universal "which came first, the chicken or the egg" to trick his opponent?

But Soth's rules are not over yet.

"Both sides have ten minutes to ask questions and answer them. You cannot discuss, you can only choose three people to ask questions, but..." Soth glanced at Du Ze and the Golden Mercenary Squad. "For the sake of our fellow race, I can give each human a chance to ask questions, but the others can only remain silent."

Du Ze was shocked by the partiality of the human god. There were five people on the scene, including Antonio, Mi'er, Bart, Enoch, and him. Although Old John and others could not speak, they had five chances. The main force of this quiz game was Antonio, who had the most profound knowledge. But if the first magic god also failed, Du Ze could not think of anyone else who could come to the rescue except Xiu, who had the halo of the protagonist.

Xiu glanced at everyone, then said to Soth in a hoarse voice: "Let all the humans ask questions."

"There are five humans here—"

"No." Xiu interrupted Soth: "There are more than five humans here."

The first half of Xiu's words still had the hoarseness of an undead, but later it became a very pleasant young man's voice. In the surprised eyes of Enoch and others, the handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes smiled at the main god of the human race and said: "——And me."

Du Ze felt Xiu's hand holding his become soft and warm, and he couldn't help but cover his face. He almost forgot that Mengzhu also had a cheating tool called bloodline conversion.

"...Okay, you will have six chances." Soth stared at Xiu, his eyes full of complex light. "Let's start, who wants to ask the first question?"

When Soth said to start, Vila suddenly felt a force that made her lose the ability to speak. She held Alice's hand and looked at Xiu and his group with worry. The human race present looked at each other in bewilderment. Bart, the great man, was sweating in embarrassment. For him, it was better to let him fight with the Lord directly than to think of a question that would stump the Lord. Enoch kept scratching his head, as if he could come up with a suitable topic this way. Antonio and Xiu were the two who looked the calmest. One was drinking and thinking, and the other was holding his silly neck in thought.

Du Ze was being repaired and began to desperately search his memory. As a time traveler, after nine years of compulsory education and three years of college entrance examination hell, he should at least show his domineering side at this time.

But all he could come up with were some nonsensical brain teasers. How could he solve them? QAQ Just when a silly little girl was silently mourning for giving all her knowledge back to the teacher, Mier was the first to stand up. The little girl raised her head and told Soth her question, which turned out to be a riddle.

"There is a true god who only speaks the truth, and a false god who only speaks lies. There is a door behind each of them, leading to the upper world and the lower world respectively. You don't know who is the true god and who is the false god. You can only ask one question: How can you find out the door to the upper world?"

It was so much more sophisticated and fashionable than Duze's idea that a certain silly boy was confused just by listening to it. However, Soth just smiled and gave the answer: "I would ask, 'Will another god say that this door leads to the upper world?'"

Mi'er didn't expect that her puzzle was solved in an instant, and she frowned and looked a little aggrieved. Mi'er's question seemed to inspire Enoch, and the thief spoke excitedly: "I also thought of one. Five people share a cake, and they can only cut it three times. How can we divide it equally?"

"First, cut off one-fifth of the cake with one knife, then cut off the remaining four-fifths with one knife; stack the two two-fifths of the cake together, and finally cut it with one knife."

This time, Soth answered without hesitation. Du Ze felt Xiu's hand pause slightly. When he looked over, he found that Xiu seemed a little surprised, as if he had received an unexpected answer. Because they were now in the BOSS-fighting stage, Du Ze couldn't ask Xiu.

"Hey, you answered it so quickly? I thought about it for a long time." After hearing Soth's answer, Enoch scratched his short hair. "My friend also said that I can kill one with one sword, and then use two cross-shaped swords to kill the remaining four people, hahahaha——"

...What a brutal topic!

The first two questions were easily solved by Sos. Seeing the human god's proud look, a certain fool felt that it was a bad idea. At this time, Antonio took a big sip of wine, then walked forward, bent down and touched Mier's hair.

"The riddle the old man asked is based on Xiao Mi'er." Antonio exhaled, even though his face was still red from being drunk, his eyes were clear. "There are three gods, named 'Truth', 'Falsehood' and 'Randomness', and you don't know which one they are. The God of Truth always tells the truth, the God of Falsehood always tells lies, and the God of Randomness tells random truths and falsehoods. You need to identify who these three gods are. You can only ask three questions with the answer of 'yes' or 'no', and each question can only be directed to one god. The gods can understand what you say, but they will only answer you in their own language. In their language, whether it is da or ja, you don't know which one is 'yes' and which one is 'no'." (Note 1)

After Antonio finished speaking, everyone was silent. This question combined "language barriers", "truth and illusion" and "randomness". For the first time, Soth fell into deep thought, and Duze was in a state of confusion.

Time passed by little by little, Du Ze looked at Sos nervously, the main god of the human race had already taken out a pen and paper to list the trees. It was almost the stipulated ten minutes, but Sos smiled at this time.

"That's a good question," South sighed. "I almost got caught up in it."

Soth raised his hand, and the paper he was writing on flew spontaneously into Antonio's hands.

“That’s my answer.”

Antonio finished reading the paper in his hand, then waved his hand to Xiu with a sigh. "There is nothing I can do. I can only help you up to this point."

Xiu nodded to Antonio to express his gratitude. Du Ze was still trying hard to think of a countermeasure. He was thinking so hard that his head hurt, but he still couldn't think of a difficult problem that could defeat the BOSS. The situation was already starting to get bad. The most promising First Mage couldn't get rid of Soth, and the rest except Xiu were cannon fodder. Mengzhu, a big killer, must be kept for the last. Seeing Bart's helpless look, Du Ze decided that he should take the lead first.

Just as Du Ze stepped forward and pressed his earphones, he was suddenly stunned - why did he have to come up with such a difficult puzzle like Antonio and the others? His greatest advantage was not this, but his identity as a time traveler.

——He thought of a question that no one in this world could answer.

Absolutely not.

Soth saw the black-haired young man raise his head and look at him, his expression was cold and without any emotion.

"Do you know what the nature of this world is?"

The author has something to say:

Author: There are three things in this world that no one can take away from you. One is the food you eat, two is the books you read, and three is the dreams in your heart.

Reader: (focusing on the second point)

Protagonist: (staring at the first point)
