Daytime.
A carriage stopped in front of the residence of the great scholar Surades, and Richard got out of the carriage.
The reason why Richard came to the great scholar Suradi was related to the books handed down from the Black Spirit Empire.
As for the clues hidden in the books, Richard tried many methods but could not find them. He decided to find some commonalities among many books to summarize and decipher them.
This is obviously a stupid way, but sometimes it is also the most effective way.
To do this, you need to get more books, and then you need to get more information about the books through the great scholar Suradis.
"Da da da… "
After getting off the carriage, Richard walked towards the porch. The servant standing in the porch had already recognized Richard, and this time he did not stop him and took the initiative to get out of the way.
Richard nodded to the other party and walked into the courtyard. As a result, a tall and thin figure walked out of the house like a wind, bumped into Richard's shoulder with a "bang", and said rudely: "Let's go." Open up!" Then he strode onto the street.
Richard turned around and saw a cold face and a pair of sharp eyes like knives.
The other party glanced over, as if scornfully, but also as a warning, and walked away quickly.
The servant whispered on the side: "That is a student taught by the great scholar Surades a long time ago. His personality is a bit... well, withdrawn. He has not contacted the master for a long time. I don't know why he suddenly came today. It seems that... It's not very pleasant to communicate with the master. Of course, it may be that the other person is like this usually. In short, don't mind."
"Uh..." Richard responded, "It's okay."
Take a step and walk towards the courtyard.
While walking, when passing by a small garden, Richard suddenly stopped and looked at the flowers on one side, and saw many flowers swinging.
Um
Richard's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was a little wary. The next moment, with a "squeak", a person stood up from the flowers. It was the cat slave girl Heidi, the granddaughter of the great scholar Surades whom he had met before.
Heidi was obviously very surprised when she saw Richard. She looked like she had not expected it at all. Her eyes widened and she said weakly: "Mickey..."
Um? Which one is right
Just as Richard was wondering, the flowers next to him began to rustle.
Heidi's eyes flashed, and she ran quickly into the moving flowers, bent down as if looking for something, and came out after a while holding a black cat.
"Um, um..." Heidi, who was holding the black cat, walked up to Richard and explained, "Um, that Mickey suddenly disappeared yesterday afternoon. Grandpa doesn't know where it went. I have been looking for it with great difficulty. I just saw it in the garden and was about to catch it, and then here you are.”
"Is this so..."
"You're here to see my grandpa, right?"
"Yes, the scholar and I have an appointment this morning. He should be free now, right?"
"Yes." Heidi nodded, "I see that he has been in the study. Except for a cold guy looking for him, there is no one else. You can just go to see him directly. I... won't take you there. , I’m going to give Mickey a bath. Look at how dirty he is. He’s gone crazy this night. Ah! There’s blood on his palms! Really, he must have been fighting with the wild cats outside again! He must be washed well. Just take a shower.”
Heidi said and ran away quickly, while Richard shrugged and walked into the living room, followed the corridor, and headed towards the study.
Stopping in front of the study, Richard knocked lightly on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Come in!" The voice of the great scholar Surades sounded from inside the door.
Richard stepped in and saw the great scholar Sulazhong hunched over a papyrus scroll on his desk, his brows furrowed as if he had encountered a great difficulty. After seeing him come in, the other party raised his head slightly, then lowered his head and continued to look at the papyrus scroll, and said casually: "Well, Richard, right, you... wait for me a moment, I have something to deal with, I'll be there soon .”
"Okay." Richard nodded, sat down next to him, and waited patiently. He fully understands how some people don't want to be disturbed when they are studying something, because once some ideas and inspiration are disturbed, it is difficult or requires a lot of energy to retrieve them.
And this wait was more than two hours.
More than two hours later, Surates slammed the papyrus scroll on the table with a "pop" sound. His whole face turned red, and he breathed heavily and cursed: "Damn it! This damn question! This is simply not possible." Can’t answer, this…”
After cursing for a while, Surades realized something, suddenly stopped talking, and looked at Richard with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Um, um..." The great scholar Suradi looked at Richard and asked, "How long have you been waiting?"
"It's almost noon." Richard replied.
"Well, it's been so long. I'm really sorry." The scholar said, "I'm rude. There is really a problem that bothers me."
"Uh." Richard responded without saying anything more.
The great scholar Sucrates, however, thought of himself and said: "It was an old bastard who tortured me on purpose! This old bastard and I are also considered friends. After a period of time, my professors and students felt that there was nothing to learn from me. Students will be sent there to continue their studies.
But today, he didn't know why he was crazy. He asked one of my students long ago to send me a question and asked me to answer it. He said he wanted to see if my brain had become rigid due to old age. Originally, it seemed to be just a very simple question, but the more I thought about it, the more complicated it became. Two hours had passed by accident. Now, if you are interested, you can take a look and maybe you can give me an idea. "
After hearing this, Richard walked over with his eyes flashing. He quickly scanned the papyrus scroll and saw the scrawled writing on it:
In White Rock City, there is a notorious thief named Rady. He thinks that he is not only outstanding in stealing things, but also extremely smart. If he were not forced by life, he would become an outstanding scholar.
But Sulla, the fake scholar, felt that what Rady said was completely wrong. Not everyone can become a scholar, even a fake.
Radi was unconvinced and challenged Sulla, who readily accepted it.
Radhi asked Sura such a question. He said, in your courtyard, there are thirteen houses lined up in a row. I will steal one of your treasures and hide it in any one of these thirteen houses. , every day I would move to an adjacent house and hide again.
If you want to get back your treasure that I stole, you have to search the house to find me, but you can only search one house a day.
So, is there any way you can use your wisdom to find me without relying on luck? If you can't, then I can stay in the house forever and you will never find your baby, which proves that I am smarter than you.
After hearing this question, Sulla said that it was very simple, but when he looked carefully, he found it very difficult.
So...my wise old friend Surates, as a great scholar, can you answer this question? Can you help the fake scholar Sulla defeat Rady
If you can, it proves that you are still the smart Sulla before. If you can't, then maybe your name is Sulla.
An old friend, Yadodd.
