Chapter 11 It's a matter of talent
"Mr. Richter, I hope you will have the right attitude, your current behavior is not conducive to our good communication" What are you kidding. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Coulson and Melinda don't believe what Evenson said. After all, it is no longer the obscurantist Middle Ages, but the 21st century, and science is king. Nowadays magic is only found in fairy tales, novels and movies. "For us, magic is unscientific, and all special abilities that are beyond the norm are mutations. ”
"Don't rush to define it first. Evenson shook his head, "How do you assume that there is no such power as magic in this world?"
"Our world, the current civilization, is based on science, science creates everything, science explains everything. Mankind's achievements today depend on the power of science, not the mysterious magic, which will only restrict the progress of mankind. Coulson calmly expounded on the idea of the supremacy of science and his disdain for magic.
Listening to Coulson's words, Evenson applauded very slowly. "Nice talk, but I think your understanding of magic is a bit skewed. ”
Coulson was a little impatient, a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., discussing the existence of magic here, this kind of thing is ridiculous to think about. "Mr. Richter, I don't think it's necessary for me to spend my time on these ......."
"Is magic and science contradictory?" Evenson interrupted Coulson abruptly and loudly. "Centuries ago, the use of hot water to help mothers give birth was considered witchcraft, and midwives would be burned alive at the stake. And now such a bloody thing as a caesarean section is generally accepted because it's science. A weapon that can destroy a city at a time, that is a weapon that only gods have, and now this kind of weapon can explode the earth hundreds of times, also because of science. Only the gods were able to go to the moon, but now humans have done the same, and it's all because of science. However, these sciences were invariably called magic or even mythology at the time. So, magic is a science that can't be explained yet. Evenson spoke this passage so quickly that he didn't give anyone a chance to interrupt at all.
Coulson rubbed his temples helplessly, "Magic is science that can't be explained yet?" He's a science fiction writer. ”
"I think he's a pioneer of science, or of magic. Evenson was adamantly opposed to Coulson's disdain for the novel's author. "Accept it, magic is not a superstition to worship idols, nor is it a foolish idea to eat ore into medicine, it is the same as science, it is the pursuit and exploration of truth, but from a different angle. In the end, Evenson spoke as solemnly as if he were preaching.
The agent duo sighed in unison, feeling like they were all about to be brainwashed. Now they just wanted to get to the end of the conversation as soon as possible, so Melinda said, "Well, magic is an alternative science, so there's nothing wrong with saying magic is an ability, and there's nothing wrong with you being a magician being an ability." ”
"No, the first I am not a magician but a warlock, and the second ability is that the ability is through mutation, which is sudden, undeterminable, and irreproducible. And I got strength through study and exercise. Evenson corrected with a blank eye.
I'll it, you said you're addicted, and there's no end to it. The two Secret Service Evenson's truths could only smile bitterly at each other. But their expressions suddenly froze, and although it was funny, they didn't care. Because they realized that there was a subtle word in Evenson's words just now. If what he said is true, does it mean that S.H.I.E.L.D. can also wield this power?
"Learning, you mean your strength is through learning?" Coulson asked, somewhat uncertain.
"Of course. When Evenson heard this, he knew what the other party meant, but he still answered in the affirmative.
"Well, you can learn as well as ...... Magic?" Coulson asked more carefully, for fear that this would be another nasty joke.
"Of course" is still a resounding yes.
"Can everyone learn?" Coulson was a little uncalm at this time, and his voice was raised.
"Of course...... No. Agent skills are also learned, can anyone become an agent? It's a matter of talent. Evenson's tone was like a stupid question.
Actually, Coulson regretted it as soon as he asked, if everyone could learn this kind of power, it wouldn't be superhuman. "What kind of person can learn, or what kind of talent is needed?" Coulson's eyes were eager. Need talent? No problem, S.H.I.E.L.D. is full of talents, and top agents can even challenge the limits of human beings, can't you find a talent? Even if you don't have it, it doesn't matter, as long as you know the standard, with the ability of S.H.I.E.L.D., that person can be dug out even if he hides in the cracks in the ground.
"Talent?" Evenson thought for a moment, "strong spirit, strong will, broad thinking, etc. ”
"Some...... General. Coulson thought about the conditions for a moment. First of all, what is mental power, let's count it as a magic term, but how strong is it to be strong? Strong-willed, this is understandable, but how firm is firm, does it count like this? And has a wide range of ideas, how broad? Does a neurological patient count?
"Magic, after all, is a little different from science, and some places are not so... Preciseness. "Evenson" This is not bad, this is just a condition for becoming an apprentice, you can only learn some simple spells, if you want to learn advanced magic, you need more subtle talents, there is no standard at all, it is completely judged by experience and feeling. ”
Evenson didn't say that. Once when he was in the orphanage, he had already begun to study the "Warlock Spell Encyclopedia", after all, study hard, every day. But the orphanage is a collective environment, even if you are cautious, there are always times when you are knocked down. But it was at that time that he realized that no one had ever paid attention to him reading another book. Yes, people can see him, but they don't pay attention to what he's doing. The book is not invisible, but subconsciously ignored. There was only one person in the whole monastery who could see it, and that was the abbot, the old nun who was extremely devout to God and the Virgin Mary. But she just sees it, don't talk about the content of the book, you just have to talk to her, distract her a little, and she will immediately forget about the book, completely forget what just happened. That Evenson understands that this book distorts the perception of those who are not mentally strong enough, and the book is in front of you, but you turn a blind eye. Even if you see it, you will forget it when you look back. That's why Evenson left the orphanage so quickly, and it's not a good thing that perception is too distorted.
So, this thing really depends on talent. If you don't have talent, you don't even have the opportunity to be enlightened as an apprentice, let alone sail a hundred volumes.
ps, on the question of saying that the magic is actively exposed. This will be explained in a later section.
ps2, I was drunk today, and my brain was groggy, so the update was late, apologize.
