Fairy’s Box

Leaving the restaurant in Mars, Yale wandered aimlessly on the shore of the Lake of Fog. The so-called lakeside is actually a mile away from the real lake. It is covered with lush cold-resistant plants and is a paradise for ice fairies. .

The pebbles under his feet are like beautiful silk scarves, smooth and round pebbles, forming light green stripes like water waves, enough for fifty people to walk side by side. On the left is a wooden fence separating tourists, and on the right are hyacinths, kale, lilies, marigolds and other flower groups that are not afraid of freezing.

Most of the tourists stopped and crowded by the guardrail, wearing special telescope glasses, watching the Lake of Fog with relish. But today is not the day of the "Goblin War", what are these people looking at? The boring game of ice goblin and frozen frog?

The black-haired knight was curious, found a gap in the crowded crowd, squeezed in, and the transparent mist like a cicada's wings was rising from the lake, and the sunlight adorned it with a gorgeous brilliance.

In the depths of the mist, dozens of ice fairies gathered into a group, and looked at the bottom curiously. On the lake surface below them, a huge white stone was undulating with the slightly rising ripples.

uh, a stone floating on the water...

Yale's eyes widened and he tried to look over, but by coincidence, the stone was overturned to the back by a gust of wind, revealing a face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but the expression on the face of bitterness and hatred, scared the ice fairies to flee in all directions.

No... It's not a stone. Judging from the smooth surface, the shape of the ellipsoid, and the weight it can float on the water, it's clearly an egg about the height of an adult.

The giant egg turned towards the guardrail with a pair of tiger eyes, and said in a deep and mature tone: "Finally, I can breathe, stupid human! What are you still doing, hurry up and catch me up!"

"Damn it, the egg is talking! What is this, I have never heard of such a fairy in the Lake of Mist."

"It's expression is so serious, it looks so serious, but I don't know why... I want to laugh when I see it... giggle..."

"It asked us to fish it out. What should we do? According to the regulations, we can't approach the lake, let alone slam the things in the lake."

"Everyone back away! Everyone backs away!" Two staff members in beige uniforms ran over, one of them had a fistful of hemp rope hanging on his shoulder, stepped directly over the guardrail, and ran to the lake in one breath.

The short staff member tied the front end of the hemp rope into a loop, then grabbed the position three feet below the loop, made two circles in the air, and then threw a parabola, which accurately caught the giant ball. Egg.

"Nice job!" There were sporadic cheers from the crowd.

"Wait a minute!" The ice fairies suddenly surrounded the giant egg again. One was a little bigger than its peers, but the ice fairies who were still small stood out and landed lightly on the egg.

"The things in the lake, that is, our things, how can you just take them away." This ice goblin rarely speaks fluent Roservian.

"Give us the eggs first, and we'll exchange them for candy later." The slightly taller staff said impatiently.

"I don't want sugar!" The other party refused righteously.

"Stupid ice fairy, let me go over quickly, or you'll be dead!" Giant Egg squeezed out a fierce expression, and the next second he was sealed inside by hard ice.

"It's not impossible to want this egg." This ice fairy has beautiful short blue hair, three pairs of crystal wings spread out in a straight line on the back, and a pair of mirror frames on the delicate child face, which looks full of intelligence .

She glanced around with her head held high, and said seriously: "If you want this egg, just answer me a math question! I will only give things to people who can convince me intellectually!"

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone, including the staff and tourists, burst into laughter. What's the situation? The ice fairy, who is full of idiots and claims to only be able to calculate addition and subtraction within nine, actually promises to discuss mathematics with humans. Is this world going to be destroyed?

The taller staff suppressed his smile and said nonchalantly, "Okay, you can ask whatever you want!"

"Okay, listen carefully." A proud smile hung on the corner of the ice goblin's mouth, flying into the air, and the crisp voice spread throughout the lake:

"It is not appropriate to divide a cube into the sum of two cubes, or a fourth power into the sum of two fourth powers, or in general a power higher than the second into the sum of two equal powers. Possibly. I'm sure I've discovered a wonderful proof of this, and you can take this weird egg by just giving it proof."

The confident expression of the staff member froze on his face. He has never heard of such a complex math problem in his life... let alone solving the problem, he can't even understand the other party's language as a number symbol.

"What? Can't you answer?" The ice goblin adjusted her glasses and said disdainfully, "The wisdom of mortals."

"This... this..."

The man was sweating profusely and froze in place, looking at his colleague for help, but the other party could only helplessly close his shoulders and said that he didn't understand a word.

"Then... that's really the ice goblin known as an idiot? This guy looks completely intelligent."

"It sounds so complicated, I don't understand what she's talking about? According to the rumors, don't they even know how to add and subtract?"

"That guy seems to be the elite of the ice fairies, even so, it's too abnormal for someone with high intelligence."

After the IQ superiority was shattered, the tourists whispered to each other as if they were in a dream, and no one could believe what was happening at the moment.

"Among you, as long as someone can give the correct proof, you can take this egg." The ice goblin proudly challenged everyone present. After speaking, she touched her chin:

"This problem will be called the Ice Fairy Law from now on. I guess none of you can solve it."

Facing the rude provocation of this little goblin, many math fans among the tourists immediately took out paper, pens and various calculation tools, and immediately fell to the ground, starting the long proof process.

Among these people, some people think that the ice fairies are talking nonsense. Even so, they have to prove on the spot that this so-called "big law of ice fairies" is wrong!

As a math idiot, Yale knew that he did not participate in it. He just looked at the giant egg carefully a few miles away, feeling an inexplicable heart palpitation.

After a while, he heard a familiar footstep coming behind him:

"That's the legendary egg of prophecy..."

Aivis walked to the black-haired knight, grabbed the guardrail with both hands, looked serious and scary, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth:

"The black egg breeds life, the white egg releases death, the king of terror descends from the sky, the stars fall to the ground, the full moon is like blood, the sky moves, the earth perishes... The seven seals are all lifted, and the sun will never rise again."
