At the end of the 15th century in Europe, in The Hague, Netherlands, the monk Jacob discovered a strange black stone beside the canal. The surface of the stone is as smooth as a mirror and can answer any question posed with precise logic in written form. The Stone of Truth quickly shook the intellectual landscape of Europe. Antwerp's scholars, clergy, and printers were all caught up in a huge storm of language, logic, and belief. The ambiguity and ambiguity of language, the monopoly of power on the interpretation of truth, and mankind's endless pursuit of certainty are all exposed by the precise answer of the Truth Stone.
Lucas, a young scholar who graduated from the Sorbonne University, returned to his hometown of Calais from Paris and passed through Antwerp when he witnessed the huge shock in philosophy and religion caused by the Stone of Truth. He was keenly aware that the appearance of the stone was not a miracle. He tried to pursue the truth through language and logic, but found that every question he asked gradually revealed deeper unknowns and confusions. Lucas comes to realize that the real truth may not come from the answers, but from the way the questions are asked themselves.
