Chapter 31: Still a magician
"If the dead child is not abandoned, will it rot in his arms?" The short witch's eyes were full of oppression, as if she was the one who looked down on the people from the top of the mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
All in all, it's scary! Miss Pache Norregi, the Witch of the Seven Dawns, is so scary!
"The research has not yet been carried out, the experiment has not yet been shadowed, and the effort has not been paid!" I raised my hand in protest, "It's too early to talk about failure and abandonment!" ”
"Whatever the foreseeable circumstances," Patchy said, standing on the porch, a head above me, so she was indeed looking down at this point, and pointed her index finger at the center of my eyebrows, "Isn't it the proper attitude of a magician of good character to be mentally prepared?" ”
"I—I see."
"You can teach."
Do I really get it? How can it be! The new theory is still in the early stages of waiting to be perfected, and it is not too much to think about abandoning it in the future. If the new theory is a small step forward from reality, Patchy's worries can be described as three leaps forward, and even if I vaguely understand that Patchy's concerns are very reasonable, I will not immediately discourage my enthusiasm for the new theory. This is the attitude that ordinary people who are diligent and diligent on the road should have!
Genius idea, Miss Alice doesn't want to know about it!
"Anyway, is there something wrong with Patsy's Seven Yao magic research system?" I asked.
"I don't know," Patchy said, "I have a hunch that the real bottleneck - rather the end - will come suddenly, rather than slowly in research, in the measurable, so I can't figure out where the end of the Seven Dawn magic is, but it may be coming." ”
"Caution is right, but pessimism is not necessary."
"Pessimistic? No, magic makes it not suitable to be pessimistic, the end of a study is only the beginning of another peak, and understanding this truth is the only way to keep going. ”
"Okay."
Miss Patchy opened up the conversation box about her old profession: "Let's be realistic, my system of seven yao magic is really not extensive enough to reach all things in the world, and many new discoveries cannot be integrated. After all, the establishment of this rudimentary system dates back almost a century, and if it was thousands of years before the early twentieth century, the establishment of a system would normally allow magicians to spend their whole lives studying and not become obsolete, but in the era of the Big Bang, magic has multiplied the knowledge of the world in the same geometric way as humans, and some seemingly solid and credible systems have suddenly become ridiculously flawed.
The so-called Qiyao magic is just a method of simplifying the world's phenomena into seven basic points, and then studying more complex concepts and phenomena flowing from the seven basic points, and the seven basic points are almost all taken from the Eastern classical naïve materialism and Western astrology and occult worldview. The stubborn worldview assumed by the Seven Yao Magic is no longer overwhelmed by the weight of knowledge advancement, and it will collapse sooner or later, without any suspense. ”
"Maybe one day, the theory of relativity and quantum theory will be updated beyond recognition, and it will basically be like being abandoned."
"This is the attitude of human beings towards the mysterious world, always seeking and breaking certain ideas, and they do their best to break certain concepts." "We are human beings, we are more intelligent than humans, and we must be more open-minded than humans in our approach to knowledge," Patchy said. ”
"Ah...... Ah—you've said something similar before. ”
"Because, because, there is no other magic to talk to!"
"So, what does Patchy think of Marisa's attitude?"
"If she has been willing to be a fool who wields weapons and sets off fireworks everywhere, she will eventually become just an engineering mechanical expert, talking about theoretical explorers."
"As long as, as long as we tweak/teach more, I'm still hopeful for Marisa......"
"Don't talk about her, it's not sure when she'll come back."
Patsy was right.
But it's not that easy for me to forget Marisa, and I'm a magic apprentice who has put a lot of energy into me.
Patchy sat down again, her legs sticking out of the porch, the soles of her feet dangling like a child because her legs weren't long enough, swaying back and forth - in a sense, Patchy was a child, and she couldn't get rid of the shadow of a child since she became a witch in anger.
I was finally able to retract my apology and listen to the teachings, and sit back next to Patsy.
"What are you thinking?" She asked, seeing that I was not talking.
Since I can't tell the truth, I can only say nonsense: "I'm wondering if improving my fighting ability is something that needs to be considered." ”
"On this matter, there are different opinions," said the witch of knowledge, "this world has always been like that, sinister, malicious, unjustified hostility, and the danger of death without a place to bury if you are not careful—now we know that most people have actually fallen into the cycle of life and death, so it is only a lifetime of knowledge and affection that has disappeared—at least until Yakumo established Gensokyo, the sinister haunting us all has never dissipated." ”
"I don't have any special feelings...... "I don't think I've ever remembered the exact date, but I think I was born in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, and I didn't have much of an impression of the outside world because I had been staying at home and doing research on the documents my parents had left behind." ”
"It's lucky for no human to intrude into your territory," Patchy's voice became soft and agile, "That's why Alice has never had an intuitive understanding of life and death fighting." ”
"Although I haven't met or participated in it, I still know that it is dangerous!" As for the "accident" that killed Reimu, it should be impossible to count, "Did ancient youkai and humans survive in that environment?" Therefore, the aggressive temperament has not been worn out so far. ”
"Perhaps," Patchy glanced at me and then turned her gaze back in the direction of the torii, "Alice, whether as a human being, or after becoming a magician, until today, has spent every day in a stable environment, which is incomparable luck and happiness, and perhaps the invisible god of fate has never been far away around you. ”
"Is this—is this a compliment to me?" I touched my cheek and said, "Patchy has had any unpleasant things happen to her in the past?" Was it ridiculed by the old men of the academy? But no, you didn't care. ”
"When I first started, I couldn't help it if I cared about it a little!" Patchy snorted, "But it's not a big deal, and I'll soon understand it." It is true, however, that some unpleasant experiences have been with me for some time, and that I have not mentioned to you before, but I can say it now. ”
"What?"
ps: Everything is not going well (including the scrapping of two 2t disks in half a year, the physical examination report is slightly abnormal, the rolling 5 old dead machine and many unclear dark emotional outbursts), the invasion of the May disease mutant, the muddy nightmare, and the world is dark, so I will rest and recuperate for two days after tomorrow.
