The one with the goatee took on a distinctly sneering tone. "What would be the 
point of having a King in that case?" he said. "He does not take his 
decisions from any book. King Coyote has built a mighty thinking machine, 
Wizard 0.2, containing all the wisdom in the world. When we bring a book to 
this place, his acolytes decipher it and consult with Wizard 0.2. Sometimes it 
takes hours for Wizard to reach its decision. I would advise you to wait 
respectfully and quietly in the presence of the great machine!"
