The Possessor of gods Chapter 21

Mary thought carefully for a moment and then responded: "If I were that young man, I would say, 'I will die by hanging.'"

"Very good." The little snake narrowed its cold vertical pupils and continued its story: "The young man thought, since you gave me this opportunity, of course I can't give up."

"'I will die by hanging,' he said forcefully. If the king thought this was a lie, he should be hanged. But in doing so, it would prove that the young man was telling the truth and should be burned at the stake. If If he is really sentenced to death, it proves that the young man is lying and should be hanged. "

"This paradox is endless. No matter how the king chooses to kill the young man, he can refute it. Thinking of this, the young man smiled confidently. What an honor it is to escape after scolding the king It would be better if the king could be alerted and make him change his mind. "

When Mary heard this, she thought it would end like all fairy tales - the warrior would achieve his glory, wisdom would be the crown of the young, the king would be impressed, and the people would live a good life.
