Angor's daily life was still the same as before. However, he looked much better than before.
While he was working on the puzzles, he noticed something strange.
The Redbud seemed to be circling in a small area.
Not long ago, Angor saw the red rock he saw for the first time half a month ago again. This was the fourth time he had seen this unique rock in the past half a month.
Angor believed that The Redbud did not plan to leave Devil's Water. It was just circling nearby.
Angor tried to talk to the navigator on the ship, but the navigator only mumbled and did not respond.
Obviously, the navigator knew that The Redbud was circling in the same place. However, since the navigator did not want to talk about it, Angor guessed that someone important was behind this strange behavior. He could not say it. Or rather, he did not dare to say it.
Who could control the helm of The Redbud? Without a doubt, it could only be a supernatural — a wizard.
With that in mind, Angor did not ask further. No matter what the wizard wanted to do, he was just a mortal. How could he stop it? Besides, he could only rely on The Redbud to survive in the boundless Devil's Water. No matter what the wizard decided, he had to obey.
He did not like this feeling of powerlessness, but he had to obey. He only hoped that he could have the power to protect himself in the future, so that he would not have to put his life in someone else's hands.
…
Today was the 167th day since Angor left Grue Town. It was also the last day he worked on puzzles.
Angor carefully opened the red wooden box in his luggage. Inside the box was a square crystal tablet as thin as a cicada's wing. It was the size of a matchbox.
The crystal tablet did not come from this world. Jon brought it from Earth.
The crystal tablet was only a holographic communication tool back on Earth. It was made into a watch and distributed all over the world. The smartwatch's strap had long been damaged over the years, so Jon simply tore it off and threw it away. Only the core tablet was left intact.
Angor closed the door and skillfully pressed the button on the bottom right corner of the tablet — the key to unlock.
A simple holographic screen projection with a row of holographic buttons appeared in front of him out of nowhere.
A row of Chinese characters was displayed on the screen:
[The screen is locked. You need to answer the questions set by the administrator to unlock.]
Question 100: Correct the hologram below using the Five Seidel Aberrations and use the Vigenaar Matrix to decipher the final password according to the spectral arrangement.
The 100th question was the last one Jon gave him.
Before he boarded the ship, every time he used the tablet, he would secretly remember the questions and turn it off. It was only after they boarded the boat and had their own private space that they became bolder.
Every time a question was solved, the next question would automatically appear. Angor tried to decipher Jon's questions from various subjects, such as chemistry, physics, medicine, mathematics, and even philosophy. Although the physical constants in this world were slightly different from those on Earth, Angor was able to handle them since they were all basic applications.
Today, he would solve the final riddle.
It took him an entire afternoon. When he finally finished the last question, he was stunned by what he saw.
“9371201。”
It was a number that no one else could understand, but Angor did.
The calendar of the Goldspink Empire: 937 of the Goldspink calendar, the first day of the Month of Freezing Earth (December 1st).
It was Angor's birthday.
"So this is the final answer?" Puzzled, he entered the number into the answer column on the screen.
After the number was entered, the screen changed, followed by a line of system text.
[Correct answer. Screen unlocked. Administrator may set a new login password in the system.]
As the words disappeared, a clean picture of a grassland appeared in front of Angor. There were two icons on the top right corner of the screen. One was a folder, and the other was a text document named "To Angor".
Angor heard Jon talk about how to operate a smart watch, but this was the first time he tried it himself. With a little curiosity and expectation, Angor reached out his hand and touched the document icon.
In the next second, an electronic letter appeared in front of him.
[To my student Angor,
I wonder how long you've been troubled by these 100 questions? I don't know where you are at this moment.
I think you're too hard on yourself. You don't have to risk your life for an old bag of bones like me.
I once told you that my hometown is an ancient civilization with a history of five thousand years. Of course, compared to the history of this world, it's not "ancient". In the neighboring country of my hometown, there was another country with a long history. In that country, there was a poet who lived his life into philosophy. He once said, "There are no traces of wings in the sky, but I have already flown."
I was born on Earth, and I died on a strange planet. It was a wonderful life. I saw two different dimensions, but the same blue sky. Pity for my poor wife and child. I thought it was just a research trip for a few days. Sigh … I never thought I'd never see them again.
But think about it from another perspective. My wife and daughter are also traces of my existence in the sky of Earth.
Angor, my student, you are the trace I left in the sky of this strange world. Not only did you inherit the culture of Huaxia, but you'll also light the fire of civilization on Earth.
Speaking of which, my "bird" left a great trace. Not only did it cross time and space, but it also crossed the quadrant of the universe. Other people's transmigrations are all about fighting back and slapping their faces. I'm here to spread the gospel of civilization. Hahaha! I may die earlier than those main characters in novels, but I'm living a better life than you, right?
Speaking of the wizarding world, I'm really interested. I thought this world was as boring as Earth. I didn't expect it to hide such a mysterious corner. But I don't think I'm lucky enough to see this corner of the supernatural, right?
What a pity.
But I can't see it, but you can. So, I hope you, my student Angor, can walk the wizarding world to its peak. Like every scholar who is loyal to his or her subject, use the concept as the singularity and knowledge to ignite the new universe.
Now that I've finished the 100 questions, I'll give you a new one. Write a thesis that carries out the true essence of the wizarding world. Are you willing to do it?
Apart from what I said just now, I'm writing this letter to you. Actually, I want to tell you to use the knowledge I taught you well. Some of the physical constants in this world are wrong, but for a scholar, the result is important, but so is the way to calculate it. I've taught you the way, and I hope you can find your own path.
By the way, if I'm not mistaken, you're at sea now, right?
There's no entertainment on the sea, so I've stored something in this smart chip. Consider it my last gift to you. I hope you like it.
Jon's. ]
After reading the letter, Angor remained silent for a long time.
He closed his eyes and clenched his fists. He felt a strange sadness in his heart. He didn't know how Jon felt when he left the letter, but he could feel the love behind every word.
Angor recalled the life he spent with his teacher all these years and fell into a daze.
He only came back to his senses in the middle of the night.
He sighed. Nobody knew who was the one who was sighing, or what he was sighing about.
Angor recalled his teacher's instructions and carefully saved the letter. He even created a new file and copied it.
Then, he closed the letter.
With a trace of disappointment and an inexplicable expectation, he opened the only folder on the desk.
