Chapter 21 Another Puzzle

To carry out this type of logical reasoning, you can only use the elimination method to deduce one condition after another. That is, assuming that any person is telling the truth, then the other three items are lies, and then derivation, as long as you find a self-corresponding

Any contradictions will be eliminated.

Of course, there is usually a trick for this kind of questions - find two items that are contradictory to each other.

For example, in this question, the Master said: I am buried in the thief's tomb. The thief said, I will not be buried here.

It can only be established when one of the two is correct, so you can save the need to exclude the two options of warrior and archer and start directly with both.

The thief's statement is more clear, so let's first assume that his words are true.

The soldier said: The place where my bones are buried is not here. If it is false, then he is buried in his own tomb.

The mage said: I am buried in a robber's tomb. It is a lie. Since the warrior is buried in his own tomb, he has only two choices, the mage's own tomb and the archer's tomb.

Let’s look at the archer’s statement: I was buried in the tomb of a mage. It’s a lie. He can only be buried in the tombs of thieves and mages.

And the thief said he would not be buried in his own tomb. It is true, then the archer can only be buried in the mage's tomb.

Since the archer is in the mage's tomb and the warrior is in his own tomb, the thief can only be in the archer's tomb and the mage is in the thief's tomb.

There is no contradiction in it. Looking back, it completely matches the conditions.

correct.

Major walked up to the statue of the thief.

The statue and its base are about two meters high. Judging from the race, it seems to be a dwarf. It holds a dagger in its back hand, bends over and bends its knees, and stares forward. It has delicate lines, exquisite knife work, natural movements, and vivid expressions. It is obviously the work of a skilled craftsman.

.

Major walked around behind the statue.

The stone door of the tomb is tightly closed, and there is a stone knob on the right wall.

Major twisted hard.

The stone door rumbled open, and a stale smell rushed straight into the nose.

With a little light, Major could see clearly what was going on inside. It was a small, empty room, with an opening on the floor in the middle that could allow one person to pass through, and a narrow stone staircase winding downwards.

Major took a deep breath, walked into the cave, and walked down the stone stairs.

Darkness, dead silence, and the smell of death filled the air. After the Dragon God merged, Major could see through all the darkness, and he didn't feel any inconvenience. It was just that the anger here was too suppressed, and it was silent and there was no sound at all.

The long corridor leads to the depths of darkness. It looks like a scene in a horror movie. Even if Major is brave, he can't help but feel scared at this time.

This should be the tomb passage. It seems that the owner of the tomb had a high status during his lifetime. From Papaliunas, it can be seen that Master Bracken designed this sphere very cleverly. Whatever is stored in the sphere, whether it is soul or

Real objects should all have existed in reality.

It seems that we must find the place where the coffin is stored, as that is the hub leading to the next scene.

Major still underestimated this task. He thought he would be able to pass successfully by doing two reasoning questions. But now it seems that they are just appetizers and the main meal has not been served yet.

He walked forward slowly, fearing that something like a trap would suddenly appear. After walking for a while, his eyes suddenly opened up and he entered a hall.

It is said to be a hall, but it is only a relatively narrow corridor, with a length and width of less than 10 meters. There are several decayed wooden doors on both sides, and I don't know what the rooms are.

Or maybe it's not necessarily the place where the coffin is stored.

Major touched his waist and saw that the dagger he had snatched from the enemy was still there. With the weapon in his hand, he immediately felt relieved. He walked to the door of the first room, kicked the wooden door away with his kick, and immediately jumped out.

Three meters away, staring closely at the door.

After a few seconds of silence, a squeaking sound sounded in the room, like the sound of grinding teeth amplified countless times.

Major suddenly felt his heart pounding and his hands were covered in sweat.

The strange voice rang for a while and quickly approached the door. A skeleton staggered out of the room.

Two faint green fires came out of its eyes, and it held a long straight-edged knife in its hand. When it saw Major raising the long knife, he swiped the head and struck it.

Major was startled.

It has been several days since I came to this world. I have seen dwarfs, kobolds, and high elves. I know that it is only a matter of time before I encounter undead creatures such as skeletons and zombies. I can really see their true faces.

, still surprised.

Surprise is surprise, not to the point of fainting. The skeleton's move is ordinary, it cuts straight up and down, don't dodge too easily.

Major raised his feet and moved to the side.

The long knife missed the target, but the skeleton turned its wrist and slashed at Major's calf.

This was so strange and unexpected that Major didn't expect it at all. He tiptoed and relied on his super physical fitness to jump more than one meter high and avoid the inevitable blow.

The skeleton was unwilling to give up, and his moves were still young. He lowered his body and raised his body upwards with his backhand.

Major suddenly made a 180-degree turn in mid-air, with his head and feet stretched out to block the long knife with his dagger.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the skeleton's whole body was shaken. He took a few steps back, holding his left hand on the ground to prevent him from sitting on the ground.

Major landed and broke out in a cold sweat. He secretly thought that he was lucky and calmed down a little.

There have been many fights in the past few days, but they were all bare-handed fights and relied on unreasonable physical fitness. Now facing a hand-to-hand fight with both sides holding weapons, the shortcomings of inexperience were immediately revealed.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and blocked the first attack. The question is, isn't this a test of wisdom? Why was there a physical fight?

He immediately used his trump card and stretched out his left hand, "Absolute Shock"!

The skeleton shook for a moment, shook his head, and rushed forward again. Nothing happened. Major slapped his head. Undead creatures are immune to shock in this brain, and they have forgotten basic common sense.

He raised his hand again and prepared to hit the skeleton with "Absolute Heat", but the skeleton had already rushed in front of him and slashed at him with a knife. By the time Major got into position and recited the spell, his head might have also flown into the sky. Major quickly interrupted the spell.

, stepped back. Damn, this guy is not stupid!

He raised the dagger again to block it, shook the long knife away, took a deep breath, held the dagger behind his back, turned slightly sideways, put his left foot in front of him and his right foot behind him, and assumed the starting position of Silver Tower's primary dagger fighting technique.

His grandmother's skills taught by Master Yutan came in handy for the first time.

The skeleton slashed back with another knife. This time it changed its attack, instead of slashing hard on the head, it straightened the knife and stabbed Major's throat.

Major twisted his waist, turned around, walked around behind the skeleton, and just swung the dagger towards its neck. This was one of the three dodge movements in the beginner's dagger-using skills. His super physical fitness made him faster than before.

It was several times faster when I learned it, and my accuracy was greatly improved. If it were my previous body, I might have lost my center of gravity when I turned around, and if I tried to maintain my balance later, there would be no room for counterattack.

But the skeleton seemed to have anticipated Major's move, and without looking back, he bumped his right hand back, and the hard knife handle accurately hit Major's left rib. Before Major could even bother to cry out in pain, the skeleton swung his right hand forward again.

, the long knife passed over its left shoulder at a strange angle and stabbed Major in the face.

Major quickly turned his head, narrowly avoiding the blade, but still got a cut. A stream of hot blood flowed out and seeped into Major's mouth.

The skeleton actually had a follow-up move. It returned the knife and kicked Major's right leg with its right foot at the same time. It made a big turn with its upper body and swung the long knife from bottom to top again. If you couldn't dodge this time, immediately

It means disemboweling the body, and possibly even exterminating the descendants.
