According to Ella's arrangement, Aztlan's warriors set up a temporary high platform in the east, west, south, north and center of Winchester. In fact, it doesn't matter if there is a high platform or not, but Ella wants to make these warriors as tired as possible to facilitate their attack tomorrow night.

"Well, let's let the other side believe it for now...but I always feel like they will suddenly become suspicious at some point."

Ella was a little unsure of her awesome behavior this time.

"Let's try to pretend to be more like...what are those priests doing at this time?"

The priests in Gotland have been eradicated due to the coup, which makes Ella not see what sacrifices look like for a long time. In fact, she had never been interested in sacrificial activities before and had never watched them carefully. Now that she suddenly had to pretend to be a priest, she racked her brains and could only find one or two vague memory fragments.

"Well, it seems that I need to spread my hair first, and then draw some paintings on my face. Then I will dance on the spot, purring and purring at the same time..."

Several Aztlan soldiers pushed a small cart and hurriedly came to Ella. They had to arrange the venue before nightfall. The task was very heavy, so they trotted all the way: "High Priest, the incense has been prepared. You think we can continue to decorate it like this, okay?"

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr`

Ella waved her hands widely and jumped around on the ground like a monkey. At a certain moment, she suddenly stopped. Under the shocked eyes of the Aztlan soldiers, her body shook as if she had been struck by lightning——

"God just told me that He is very angry! The matter is serious!"

The Aztlan soldiers panicked: "Angry? What, why is this?"

"What are you pushing here?"

"Incense?"

"I know it's incense, but why is it a round jar? Gurgling! Gurgling! Gurgling!"

Ella started dancing her paws from side to side again as before.

The Aztlan soldiers were confused: "Round jar? What happened to the round jar?"

"You used to offer sacrifices to the sun god, so you used jars that were as round as the sun. Now you want to invite other gods, what's the point of using round jars? Change them to square ones!"

"Fang? Okay, we'll do it right away..."

"Wait a minute, Gulu, Gulu! The gods also have instructions, Gulu, Gulu, Gulu! The round thing must become a square, but the area must be the same as the original circle! Gulu, Gulu, Gulu!"

"If you turn the circle into a square, the area will be the same?"

"Aren't you Aztlans very good at math? You can't solve this problem, right?"

Ella muttered angrily. But she probably felt that this sentence was a bit out of place, so she hurriedly straightened her posture and started to scream "Gurgling" like before.

As soon as this group of Aztlan soldiers retreated, another group of Aztlan soldiers ran over.

"High Priest! The largest altar in the city has been set up. Go and take a look!"

"Too small! Expand it!"

The Aztlan soldiers were stunned: "Too small? But you haven't gone over to see it yet?"

"Grrrrrrrr! God's eyes are looking in all directions. Do you still need me to go and see? It's too small. Expand! Double the area!"



"Double it? Okay, let's do it right away..."

"Wait a minute! God still has instructions!"

Ella kept turning her head like a madman and waving her hair in the air:

"Grrrrrr! The area must be doubled, but the shape must be exactly the same as before! The length and width must maintain the same proportions as before, and there must be no deviation! Grrrrrrrrrr!"

"Keep the original shape, but double the area? Okay, let's do it..."

After sending away two waves of Aztlan soldiers, Ella continued to wave her hair and hands, jumping left and right on the ground like a monkey.

"Well, although I feel weird watching the priest jump, I still feel quite energetic when I jump up. Grrrrrr! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Soon after, the first Aztlan soldiers came back pushing a cart of incense.

"High Priest! It's changed, it's square now!"

Ella stopped, walked to the cart with disheveled hair, and looked at the square jars on the cart through her hair.

"How did you turn a circle into a square of equal area? Tell me?"

"This..." The Aztlan soldiers looked at each other, unable to answer.

Ella suddenly screamed strangely: "God is watching every move you make! Just wait and receive God's punishment!"

"No, don't!" Aztlan soldiers hurriedly knelt on the ground and grabbed Ella's legs. "High Priest, it's not that we don't do it seriously. It's just that we can't figure out how to turn a circle into an equal area. Please help us negotiate with God..."

"Talk to God? How could God..."

Before he finished speaking, an Aztlan soldier took off the gold chain around his neck and stuffed it into Ella's shoes.

Ella coughed a few times: "Well... okay. I'll give you some pointers. You have to find the center of this circle first..."

"How to find the center of a circle?"

"First find two random points on the circle and draw a line, then make the mid-perpendicular of this line and intersect the circle at the new two points. Connect the new two points with a line and find the midpoint, which is the center of the circle! You Aziz Tran doesn’t even know this?”

"I, we are all mortals, how can our wisdom be as good as that of God's messenger... Find the center of the circle, and then what?"

"Measure the radius, then find a long piece of paper and cut the width into half the radius of the circle! Then roll up the long side of the paper and wrap it around the circle to form a cylinder, subtracting the excess. The one after spreading it out The area of ​​a rectangle is the same as the circle at the bottom! If you think it’s too long, just cut it along the long side and splice it together. The area will remain the same. Just make the container according to this mold, and it must be finished tonight!"

The group of Aztlan soldiers withdrew gratefully. Soon after, a second group of Aztlan soldiers came back.

"High Priest! Our altar is decorated."

"Okay? How did you arrange it?"

"Just double the length and width! It's a lot bigger and it took us a lot of effort!"

"Gulu, Gulu! The god...the god is angry again! He said that the current altar is four times the original area! In order to punish you, he will let the plague ravage the entire Aztlan!"

"How, how could this happen?" The group of soldiers knelt down like the previous group and grabbed Ella's legs. "High Priest, you must save us!"

With previous experience, Ella is already familiar with the way: "Save you? What about your sincerity?"

One of the soldiers took off the pearl jewelry on his hand and stuffed it into Ella's shoe.

"There is really no way, your math level is too bad." Ella coughed, "First make a square with the long side and take the diagonal. Then make a square with the short side and take the diagonal. Put these two diagonals together to form a new altar, and the area will be twice the original size.”

"Thank you, we'll do it right away!"

"Wait a moment!

Ella's body shook again.

"The gods have seen everything! He has begun to doubt the wisdom of you Aztlan people, and is going to set a basic question to test you! The altar must be doubled, but not the area, but the volume! The length, width, and height must be maintained The original proportion remains unchanged! If you can’t finish it tonight, you will all be punished!”
