Chapter 112 Prediction and Perception (Chapter 1)

Annan and Ghirlandaio were the first to leave the tea room.

To be more precise...they escaped from the crime scene.

"Uncle, what do you think?"

Annan took a deep breath and made a heavy voice.

Beside him, Ghirlandaio, the wizard of the School of the Prophets, tapped him on the shoulder.

"It'll be all right."

The middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes answered affirmatively: "Because they can't fight."

He has thick curly hair, deep eyes that seem to be deeply branded, and his face is as deep as a statue.

"So sure?"

"nature."

Gillandaio replied with great confidence: "That's why it's even more important to exclude variables."

"variable?"

"Well... you can understand that it is a variable in terms of nature, quantity, intensity, etc., on the basis of fixed phenomena..."

"No, it's not that I don't understand the word."

Annan shook his head and asked, "I mean. Do spells of the prophecy department need to exclude variables?"

"...Mostly, yes."

Gillandaio nodded and asked with some doubts: "Is there no mentor in the Prophecy Department in the Black Tower of Zedi?"

Without waiting for Annan to answer, he explained it like a mentor: "In short, the abilities and spells of the prophecy department are roughly divided into two categories. One is prediction and the other is perception.

"The ability to predict is to actively search for event information in the 'future record point'.

"For example, you can give me two numbers at will, and let me calculate the result... Because I can definitely calculate this problem, and its result is uniquely certain. So I can skip the process now and directly predict its result.

"Similarly, predicting ballistics, predicting answers, predicting heads and tails of coins,

They are all very simple abilities that don't even require spellcasting. For example, predicting who I will meet today, and predicting where we will go next will be much more complicated... In short, as long as it includes predictions other than myself, the difficulty and consumption will suddenly increase, and the error rate will also increase. rise. "

“In general, the more fixed and unique the answer, the easier the outcome will be. The more variable the process, the more difficult it will be to predict.

"For example, I can predict what you just wanted to say..."

Gillandaio stared at Annan, thought for a while, and said, "You want to say, 'Is the human mind a variable', right? The answer is, 'yes'."

--yes.

Annan nodded.

Although there are some differences in general... For example, what he wants to ask is actually "Do you want to exclude the variable of 'thought'".

This slight error should come from Ghirlandaio's misunderstanding of Annan and Gerald.

"So, you can briefly see the future?"

Annan asked.

"It's about seeing the short-term future," the uncle corrected, "what we can know is the information 'what we can know'.

"As long as the uncertain nodes affecting the future are clear, we can see the results in advance... that is the future in my eyes."

Gilandaio said, glanced at the tea room, and then glanced at Annan with a deep meaning: "As long as we all leave, they will definitely not fight; and if you and His Royal Highness Maria stay in, they will There is a high probability of a fight...

"But I just glanced at it casually, and I don't know what will happen next. But I personally tend to go in the direction of the future that can be determined, rather than change the future to an unknown direction."

"Is that so..."

Annan nodded slowly.

A strange idea suddenly popped into his mind.

To confirm the idea, he asked Ghirlandaio, "What about perception?"

"Perception..."

Gillandaio sighed inexplicably.

His answer this time was very simple: "In simple terms, the teacher suddenly perceives that he is about to die. This is perception. You cannot actively seek answers, and the answers may not be useful, but the results of perception are basically fixed.

"Because several key nodes anchoring this future have already happened, but we didn't realize it... In short, it's too late. It is absolutely impossible to change the future by one's own strength. Want to change what you get from perception Prophecy, but it has to introduce a lot of variables."

Annan roughly understood.

The principle of prophecy spells is basically active or passive, getting some fragmented information from the future self.

This is indeed quite a versatile spell.

The result of the "prediction" is the "possible future" and therefore can be changed at will.

And the result obtained in "perception" is the "next ending".

It is not that the perceived future cannot be changed.

However, it is difficult to shake the tide of fate by one's own strength alone.

Annan was silent for a while.

That being the case.

Is their ritual used to change the fate of "Michelangelo was killed"?

--yes.

So far, there is no solid evidence that "Michelangelo is dead".

They thought so only because the stone statue when they entered the door said so to them.

But what if the statue was telling a lie?

No, it doesn't have to be a lie.

Because of that stone statue, it never said, "Michelangelo is dead".

Not a word was mentioned.

It just published Michelangelo's suicide note. Michelangelo simply declared, "My murderer is among you".

But if he said, it is not "the past".

- But what about the "future"?

"Hey, David. Did you... think of something?"

Gillandaio said in a low voice.

Annan looked at him and was silent for a while: "What do you mean?"

"You're in this ritual that we're in."

The uncle stared at Annan and lowered his voice a bit: "Do you have any special thoughts..."

"What are you talking about?"

Just then, Maria's voice came.

She frowned slightly and looked at Annan with her arms crossed.

There was undisguised suspicion on that immature and delicate face, like a top-grade doll.

The mute old man Merlin lowered his head and stood listlessly behind her.

But Annan could sense an inexplicable strong sense of danger from him.

"—The three people in that discussion."

Before the uncle could speak, Annan answered first: "As long as we all leave, the three of them should not fight."

"Prophecy?"

Maria Lindong nodded thoughtfully, as if thinking of something.

At this moment, Annan suddenly asked:

"His Royal Highness Mary, what do you think of our current situation?"

"what you mean?"

For some reason, every time she talks to Annan, Maria always looks very vigilant.

She was silent for a while, but she replied seriously: "I don't think Melvin will be the only one who died.

"Someone will die in the future... Everyone should think so too. You can also know that there is only one murderer, and he can't kill two people, so they all hug each other... Like you, like us, like Claire and gold."

"So you think that Master Benjamin is the murderer?"

Annan asked.

Want to kill a golden rank wizard.

This master of transformation, who is infinitely close to the golden level, can undoubtedly do it. He has not teamed up with anyone now, and the suspicion is the biggest.

But the problem is...

Annan knew from the beginning that Benjamin was innocent.

For the same reason as Gerald.

Because Benjamin did not die here, nor did he successfully advance. Instead, he returned to the Black Tower alive and recruited new students...for example, Salvatore.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Maria shook her head firmly.

"No, I don't think he's the murderer."

she replied.

She looked at Annan and answered without hesitation: "I think...

"The murderer is you."
