Chapter 40: Knowledge is Power

This night, Zhu Jue did not go anywhere else, but chose to stay in the tower.

He has a lot of questions, and his mind is like having a copy of "100,000 Whys".

Luckily, Attar was also quite talkative after drinking two cans of moonshine, and was no longer shy about certain topics, which gave Zhu Jue an excellent opportunity.

Because the tower was too stuffy, and the three-story shrine was destroyed by monsters, the two of them simply climbed to a ring platform at the top of the tower.

In the middle is the spire, surrounded by a circle of small platforms on the outer rim.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the night breeze is cool.

One person moved a wicker chair and lay down on the left and right sides of the spire, unable to see each other's faces, which was a chat of "people nearby" in another sense.

"What exactly is the so-called spiritual power or soul ability?"

Holding the dark blue pearl he had just gotten in his hand, Zhu Jue could feel his body, and stretched out a finger to flick the creeper vine leaves next to him, watching them freeze.

Zhu Jue knew how to use this ability, but he didn't know why he could use it this way, or to what extent.

This is like learning to drive, if Zhu Jue's existing ability is compared to a car, everyone knows to step on the accelerator and then turn the steering wheel, but for those beginners, it is limited to this, how to turn, how to reverse, how to hit the indicator light, and how to give full play to the performance of the car He doesn't understand.

Today, five years later, Zhu Jue still draws his knife to cut in the face of battle, not that this way is weak, after all, Zhu Jue's physical strength is indeed very strong.

Just remembering the colorful light in the dark night, the terrifying mass of flesh in the valley and the indescribable presence that appeared in the sky at that time, the Shogues in the ice field, and even the scavenger who is now in control of himself.

Strength is meaningless to these beings, no matter how fast and strong Zhu Jue swings his sword, can he cut through the light or those flesh balls that don't have a fixed form at all?

That's not a dimensional thing!

If you want to defeat them, you can only rely on special powers, such as the super magnetic device developed by the Monster Investigation Bureau for Star Color, and the dozen or so refrigerators that have been placed against the scavengers.

However, what Zhu Jue has used most so far is perception and his own control of ice and snow.

The perception ability is a reconnaissance ability, and there is nothing to change for the time being, but for the control of ice and snow, all Zhu Jue can do now is summon a blizzard and freeze some items like a refrigerator, and then it is gone.

Not to mention that there are still some weak wind element controls, about this ability, Zhu Jue is only used to slow down the impact of his own fall many times,

There was no doubt that they all had great potential, but they were helplessly abandoned by Zhu Jue, because he didn't know how to use them better.

Going back to the above analogy, to put it bluntly: a supercar worth millions and a car worth tens of thousands of dollars on the side of the road are no different for Zhu Jue today, because in his eyes, they are all an iron frame with four wheels......

In the real world, Zhu Jue had not yet found someone else to answer his questions, and now that he was in the dream world, he felt that he had to find a way to figure these things out.

"Knowledge is power. ”

Just as Zhu Jue fell into a state of self-examination and reflection, Attar's dream-like voice came from the other side.

"Hey, I'm not talking to you about philosophy or some famous quote right now, who doesn't know that knowledge is power?"

Zhu Jue, who was annoyed by Attar's sudden interruption, said as he held the little face of the wind chime, and Zhu Jue found that after drinking the water soaked in amber gems, its originally dark golden eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of amber brilliance, so he pinched the soft flesh between its neck and asked softly,

"Has there been any change in the body?"

Oh~

The wind chime called proudly, raised his paws and stretched out, and the sharp nails that were originally moon-white seemed to be coated with a layer of amber nail polish, and then he slapped into the stone wall next to him, which was not much different from pressing into a piece of soft tofu.

"You know, but do you really understand that humans rely on strong bodies to defeat beasts?"

The Great Elder of Attar on the other side didn't notice that the wind chimes were demolishing his home, and said to himself,

"No, humanity depends on knowledge, swords and magic, chariots and castles...... They are just an extension of knowledge, and the power you are looking for is actually in the book. ”

"What book?"

Zhu Jue naturally wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that Attar wanted to make himself a scholar.

"Nature is a book with mysterious powers, and we have to admit that human beings are always the best creatures to learn...... No, they are mere scribes, unspeakable beings who pass on their knowledge to their followers, and the believers choose to record them in the most primitive way in order to hold these mystical powers for a long time, which is why so many special books have been produced, such as the Codex Nackert, the Testament of Canamagos, the Spirits of Chaos...... These books are powerful, but they ...... Purr~"

Halfway through speaking, the sound of snoring sounded, and Zhu Juezheng listened energetically, how could there be any reason for him to sleep like this, and hurriedly summoned a very small wind and snow to the opposite side.

"Just what?"

"Hiss~sneeze...... It's just that that knowledge is not so easy to obtain, just like the inevitable sacrifice of human beings in the process of research and exploration, the result of mortals forcibly reading that knowledge will only make themselves fall into endless madness and confusion, and it is more likely to face the terrifying existence in those voids at some point and a moment, and at that time, knowledge will not only bring power, but also destruction...... Like the gods at the pinnacle of Qatars, they exist without letting anyone know about their existence, they are strong enough to rule the world, they are weak enough to need the protection of foreign gods to survive, and who can guarantee that there is a more powerful god above that foreign god....... The chaotic existence that is blind and foolish, who knows everything, but forgets everything...... Fuck, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will have to climb to the top of Kadass and let those gods dance for Lao Tzu....... Oh ~ I can't think anymore, I need to rest......"

Perhaps because he hadn't been able to talk to anyone about those things for a long time, Attar who had opened the conversation undoubtedly fell into some kind of logical and sequential confusion at the end of the conversation, but the information he inadvertently revealed still benefited Zhu Jue a lot.

"Knowledge is power. ”

Thinking back to what he had seen in the Book of Dekian, Zhu Jue realized that he should try to read the book in depth.

Is the power waiting for itself?
