Once, there was an evil dragon who did all kinds of evil and captured the beautiful princess of a country. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The king used all his methods, but he could not help the evil dragon, so he had to publicly declare that if any warrior could kill the evil dragon and save the princess, he would marry the princess to him.

Sure enough, a young and heroic swordsman, with three of his buddies he had just met in a tavern: a young thief who had just obtained a union license, a trainee wizard, and a reserve priest, rushed into the dragon's lair in high spirits, beheaded the villain, and rescued the princess.

Then the king, with great disdain, despised the poor origin of the hero and drove him out of the castle. But the princess has fallen in love with her savior, and on a dark and windy night, she secretly eloped with the swordsman. They then fled with great difficulty in the constant search of the kingdom's army, until they finally lost their whereabouts.

In the infatuated words of the warrior and the princess, the majestic wind music, the gentle string pulling, and the passionate drum beating also follow the changes of the plot synchronously, playing a beautiful timbre with ups and downs.

It's called an opera house, but it's actually more like a café, in a small room, Xiao You and Xiao Xing sit opposite each other at a round table, listening to the climactic drama in their ears and sipping hot drinks in their mouths. It's just that the girl's eyes were already red, and after wiping countless tears, several dozen white handkerchiefs were scattered around the seat like snowflakes.

"This story is so vulgar, and the plot is so fake." The agency waited for more than five hours, and finally waited for the end of the opera, and couldn't help but evaluate.

"Where's the fake?" Xiao Yu asked casually.

"The king can't help the evil dragon, the evil dragon can't help the brave, why is the brave being forced so embarrassed by the king and fleeing?"

"Shut up, you idiot," Xiao Xing raised his red eyes and said in a very annoyed tone, "The person concerned is here, you dare to doubt the authenticity of this story!" ”

"The parties?" Yiyi asked in surprise, "Master Xiaoxing, are you the princess, and Master Xiaoyou is the warrior?" ”

"Ahem, I was born without a heroic life," Xiao Yougang took a sip of his drink and couldn't help choking, "That thief is the one who said." ”

"Smack!" Xiaoxing stood up and kicked it angrily, "Stupid, I'm the apprentice wizard." ”

"Master, it turns out that you were so weak at that time?"

"Nonsense, I think back then, I was in the prime of my life," Xiaoxing seemed to fall into a long memory, "At that time, I hadn't chosen the spell mastery school, what fireballs, wind blades, earthquakes, lightning chains, meteor showers, they were all used if they wanted, and they came as soon as they reached out." ”

"At that time, I really wanted to kill that evil dragon and rob it of its hidden treasure," Xiao Yu continued, "so I lured the rookie who didn't know the depths in the hotel, and wanted to make up cannon fodder to fight the front, but I ran into the sister of the reserve priest and the sister of the apprentice wizard." ”

"Yes, this is the first time I've met my sister and brother, and we both thought we were pretending to be good," Xiaoxing sighed, "I didn't expect that after encountering the dragon, the three of us joined forces and slaughtered it in a few rounds......"

"As a result, our swordsman captain took the dragon head and hugged the princess and left, leaving the three of us to divide the property in the dragon's lair," Xiao You's tone was very emotional, "and then we suddenly felt very close to each other, so we worshipped in the name of the water god Vortephne." ”

"Brother, I still want to enjoy the opera again," Xiaoxing's eyes flashed, "This is a precious past from five hundred years ago, and it will take several times to reminisce about it." ”

And so the wonderful love story of the warrior and the princess is played out again.

"Master, did the elopement of those two succeed later?"

"Of course it worked," Xiao Yu said slowly, taking another sip of hot tea, "otherwise you wouldn't have heard this opera today." ”

"Master, what does this mean?"

"Well, because the lines you heard from the two protagonists were performed by themselves." Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and pulled the long line next to the table, and a curtain in the room slowly rose.

The machine people were surprised to see that on the wall behind the curtain, there were two heads with vivid faces, one was a handsome and tough man, and the other was a beautiful and delicate woman.

"These two friends asked me to help them escape, and I took them out of the country, but after three years, they didn't pay my offer." Xiao You spread out his hands, revealing a helpless expression, "It's a pity that I have to make them into a collection to pay off this debt." ”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Brother, you always keep a high-level collection like this in the secret room, and you are reluctant to take it out," Xiao Xing's face was excited, "It seems that your embalming technology has finally made a breakthrough, and you can use it for a long time without petrification." ”

"That's right," Xiao Yu nodded, "those old guys who only have one breath left, petrified and petrified." But a beautiful head must be in the form of flesh and blood to have artistic value. ”

"Master, what are you talking about?"

"Yiyi, do you remember the marble statues on both sides of the road when you came in? As I told you, those were the learned professors of the City of Truth. ”

"Yes."

"Then I'll tell you now, in this university in the hostel, these marble statues are all alive." Xiaoxing laughed, "When they were about to die, they asked my brother for immortality, and my brother petrified their heads, sealed their souls inside, and brought them here to continue their academic research. ”

"A lot of people have been research freaks all their lives, and as long as they are given enough conditions, they can study like crazy until the end of the world." Xiao You said lightly, "It is precisely because of these people in my place, in the hostel in the ash field, that they will not be left far behind by the progress of the outside world." ”

"The complex social structure and the extensive group activities are the driving force behind the generation of knowledge and the stepping stone for the progress of civilization," Xiaoxing also looked like a mentor, "No matter how talented you are, your energy is limited after all, and you can't explore all disciplines at the same time." Therefore, it will not take many years for a master who escapes from the world and does not interact with the outside world to be thrown off by the wheels of the progress of the times. ”

"Oh," the agency man seemed to think it made sense, "then master, you also seem to be living in seclusion, how can you keep yourself from being abandoned by the times?" ”

"I usually keep in touch with some mage associations and exchange research results." Xiaoxing replied, "But every few decades, I may choose to leave the hostel for a while, go to the mainland to find a college, and start from scratch like an ordinary student." ”

"I have collected the famous teachers who are dying in the City of Truth and let them continue to engage in disciplinary exploration, which is nothing more than to expand the number of scholars here and form a complete academic research system." Xiao You coughed, "It's because these researchers should actually be dead, so the students called this school a dead man's university." ”

"So, master, this warrior and this princess, what are you collecting their heads for?"

"Oh, these heads are even more precious, they're all works of art." The boy replied serenely.

"Is it more precious than the heads of those teachers?"

"The discipline of reason has its own deductive logic, and no matter what theorems and laws, as long as civilization has enough development, it can be studied." A burst of brilliance flashed in Xiao You's eyes, "And art cannot be replicated, which determines that artistic achievements are more valuable than rational achievements." ”

"For example, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, such as the Pythagorean theorem, such as pi," Xiaoxing explained, "whether it is human society, or the elven world, or the orc tribe, or the dwarf race, what is explored in the discipline of reason is exactly the same knowledge." ”

"But an epic that has been sung through the ages, a miraculous painting, a heavenly sound that cleanses the soul, and a dance music that flutters and flies, if it is annihilated in the long river of history, it will never be recovered." Xiao Yu sighed softly, "So my enthusiasm and effort to save beautiful things are much more invested than in the University of the Dead." ”

"Like warriors and princesses, for example?"

"Beautiful life is art in itself," Xiao Xing nodded, "if these people are old, dead, turned into white bones and loess, and leave nothing, but in my brother's collection room, they can stop forever in the most perfect moment, and even retain their souls." ”

"If the previous machine man was a rational creation, you are an artistic product." Xiao You smiled and said, "Yiyi, do you know that you are different from ordinary agency people?" ”
