Should I raise you too?

She took out two 5-pound gold coins and threw them into the mirror.

Simon accepted the gold coins and wrote the answer on the mirror: The Fourth Day.

Elisa waited for a long time, but no other words appeared on the mirror.

"...?"

The process!

Simon told the Magic Mirror that the solution process was priced separately, with three tiers: £10 for the basic version, £20 for the intermediate version, and £30 for the ultimate version.

What?! The process and the answer are sold separately! And the process even has three different pricing tiers!

My IQ is fine; a basic version should be enough.

Simon reminded the Magic Mirror that the store does not offer upgrade packages with price difference refunds. If you don't understand the basic version, you still need to purchase the advanced or ultimate version at full price.

Huh? Are you questioning my intelligence?

Elisa tossed over two gold coins and firmly chose the basic version.

Simon wrote down the basic solution: The villagers gradually ruled out the possibility of having blue eyes by observing whether anyone had died in the previous nights, and finally determined their eye color.

Elisa remained silent for a long time, then clutched her head: Why was I so confident! What kind of nonsense is this problem-solving approach?!

Simon once again pitched his packages to the Magic Mirror: the basic version could teach Homo sapiens, the advanced version could teach curly-haired baboons, and the ultimate version could disguise curly-haired baboons as university professors.

"Are you implying I'm not from the Homo sapiens species?!" Alyssa clenched her fists. "Your classification of intelligence is too harsh! Those ladies are clearly on par with me! They're all curly-haired baboons!"

Alyssa, feeling helpless, took out two banknotes from her wallet, one £10 and one £20, and threw them into the mirror.

Damn it, I shouldn't have bought the basic version!

This explanation was quite long; the servant used voice instead of text.

"The logical reasoning process is as follows. The villagers make the following assumption: Assumption 1, if there is one blue-eyed person on the island, and he cannot see any other blue-eyed people, he will immediately know that he is blue-eyed and die on the first night."

"Assumption 2: If there are two blue-eyed people, and they see each other as blue-eyed, and they follow the thought process of Assumption 1, they will find the other person is not dead the next day. Assumption 1 is not true. There is another blue-eyed person on the island, and that is themselves. They will die at midnight the next day."

"Assumption 3: If there are 3 blue-eyed people, each of them will see two blue-eyed people, think about Assumption 2, and on the third day they will find that the other two are not dead. Assumption 2 is not true, and there is still one blue-eyed person on the island, which is themselves... and so on."

“In this logical problem, the perpetrators did not provide any new information. The villagers already knew that blue-eyed people existed. The perpetrators simply turned a personal matter that everyone knew privately into a common matter that everyone knew.”

After delivering her answer, Elisa blinked.

I think I understand, but I also think I don't. This problem-solving approach is so convoluted!

Write this down first, and study it later.

Tsk, this male servant actually has such complicated questions. No wonder Miss Susanna said before that he should go to university for further studies.

Am I holding him back?

Elisa felt a little guilty.

Simon counted the coins, his heart filled with joy.

As for the joy, I'll leave it with you for now!

Damn it, I spent a whole 50 pounds! It was only supposed to cost 40 pounds!

"Put the money away." Simon reported Ophina's situation to the Magic Mirror. He felt that Ophina's identity was not simple, and the finger bone left by Butler Sheldon seemed to be related to some events at the top.

Chapter 55: The Girl's Night Raid...

"Finger bones"?

Elisa reached into the mirror and took out two "finger bones," which she played with in her hand. The ability to "travel through the mirror" can be used as a storage function to some extent.

Simon asked the magic mirror to tell the teacher about this. He didn't know what the finger bones represented, but he was sure the teacher would figure it out.

Sorry, your curly-haired baboon teacher doesn't know either!

Elisa pondered that after returning home, she would write a letter to her teacher and ask her to investigate.

Unfortunately, the archipelago is too far from the capital, and "Mirror Shuttle" cannot reach that far.

Simon asked the magic mirror if there were any other questions; if not, he would end the ceremony.

Elisa thought for a moment and then wrote down another question.

Are there any fun games that ladies can play?

If there had been a fun game at the pajama party, my relationship with Eleanor and Mabel might have improved a bit.

Eleanor and Mabel knew the Fourth Princess Ophelia, and even to some extent, felt like equals. Evidence of this is that Mabel was secretly laughing when Ophelia was being harassed by Lillian.

There is no doubt that Eleanor and Mabel are of noble birth.

I have to win them over! Time to get ready for the next pajama party!

Asking about fun party games is one of the important preparations.

That wretched valet will surely try to quote a price again; I can't afford to waste money this time! Refuse anything over 10 pounds!

Simon made an offer of £25.

What?! You really dare to ask for that?!

Elisa was about to refuse in annoyance when new words appeared on the mirror.

Simon added, "£25 for three games, plus a new logic puzzle."

What? Three games? And there are free gifts too!

I originally planned to buy one game for £10, but now it's £25 for three, which is less than £9 per game on average. That's more than £1 cheaper than my budget, and there are also free gifts!

What a great deal!

Elisa quickly opened her wallet and paid the corresponding amount.

Simon told the Magic Mirror three simple games: Guess the Identity, Guess the Picture, and Dare, as well as a new puzzle: Three Hats.

Elisa was already pleasantly surprised after reading the game rules, and she was even more delighted after seeing the puzzle.

But why is there no answer to this puzzle?

Oh no, is this a trap?!

Elisa panicked for a moment, but after careful consideration, she realized that the three hats and the red and blue eyes were the same type of puzzle, and much simpler than the red and blue eyes puzzle.

The problem is: There are 3 white hats and 2 black hats. A, B, and C each wear one hat and are arranged in a line. A can see B and C, and B can see C. A says they don't know the color of the hats, B also says they don't know, and C says they know. What color hat is C wearing?

She pondered for three minutes and easily solved the problem: it was a white hat.

It's not that difficult. As for the red and blue eyes question, I just didn't think of that approach!

Miss Elisa felt that she had evolved from a curly-haired baboon into a Homo sapiens.

She drifted off to sleep contentedly.

No, I can't sleep!

Sitting up from the covers, Elisa slapped her face hard.

Who knows what Ophelia might do next? Not only can't I sleep tonight, but I also need to be careful in the days to come.

After all, Ophelia's potential target, those two "finger bones," are indeed in my hands!

However, Ophelia could only guess that I had one, the one I got from killing the "spirit baboon," which probably hadn't been exposed.

As the night stretched on, Elisa opened "Simon's Journal" in an attempt to voyeuristically observe the male servant for amusement.

Simon lay on his bed, pondering what kind of dream he would have that day. He ultimately chose Miss Ophina and Miss Ruth.

What are you doing! What kind of dream do you want to have!

Also, don't fall asleep! What will I watch if you're asleep!

Elisa covered her face and sighed.

The only source of joy is gone; what can we do now?

I should have asked the male servant for more questions to do. No, these logic questions are quick if you know how to do them, but if you don't, you can't figure them out no matter how long you think about them. They're not suitable for killing time.

Elisa drew back the curtains and stared at the city in the night for a long time, feeling utterly bored.

I wonder if Eleanor is asleep? Are you free? Can we play games together?

She used the "Blood" spell to locate Eleanor, but in the bedroom... she wasn't there. Huh, she really wasn't asleep?

Expanding the scope of her techniques, Elisa continued her search.

A washroom...no, a kitchen...no, a small garden...no, but a hallway, an attic, and a servants' quarters...yes!

So you went to the male servant's bedroom. I thought you had sneaked out!

Elisa breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly realized something was wrong. She raised her hands and covered her head.

Why did you go into my servant's bedroom?!

In the dead of night, a lone man and a lone woman, what do you want to do?

He likes women like Ophelia and Rose! You have no chance!

Elisa immediately opened "Simon's Log" to check the situation.
