Chapter 1638: The Lions (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription, Asking for a Recommendation) Asking for a Monthly Pass!!
"If you're smart, think about the relationship and you'll know why I'm saying that." Soram said.
Serileph calmed down, and slowly thought about the meaning of Solam's words, she was very smart, so she vaguely thought of something, but she couldn't understand what was wrong, and finally she gave up.
Selly Leph is a gifted paladin, but she's just a gifted paladin. She had experienced too little. She has always been just a flower in a greenhouse, growing up with everyone's praise and care, she is very smart, but there are some things that can be figured out more than just being smart.
"That'...... You tell me, you didn't just say, you can tell me if I need it. Selly Leph looked at Solam pleadingly.
This time Soram didn't say anything more, he stood on his own side and said everything that should be said to Seri Leph, as for whether she listened or not, Soram didn't care, anyway, as Soram said, they were not destined to be all the way, and he had no obligation to continue educating her.
So this time Solam didn't sell off, but told Serie Leph directly.
"Like I said, I can tell you if you need to. Don't you want to know, why do I say that Ascatra is doomed? So I'll tell you why, because the city has lost its soul. Solam shrugged, and without waiting for Serie Leph to ask, he said to himself, "I'm not playing tricks, I'm the truth." The city has lost the basis of its existence, and that's what I mean by soul. ”
"The world is dangerous, Cyre, always. What is the foundation on which a city is built in this dangerous world, do you know? ”
Solam's question was a little too profound, and Selly Leph listened to it. As Soram said, she felt that Soram was playing tricks.
Seeing her like this, Solam despaired of Sokoya's education.
"Have you read history, Sally?"
"Church history? I've read it, and I've got the first place in every exam! Although she didn't understand why Soram asked, she replied anyway, and she was a little proud.
"Church History...... And theology? Tut...... Sure enough, it's a god stick family. Soram pouted, a little disgusted. There is a chain of disdain between classes, and generally speaking, the caster will always be at the top of all chains of contempt, despising others as much as they want. In fact, this is also the case, and the biggest reason for this is that mages feel ignorant of other professions.
Church history and theology, in the minds of the mages, are rubbish. It's a collection of lies and shameless praises, after all, this is written by the church itself, except for the church history of a few gods that will be fairer, the history of other gods is more or less made up by various historical inventors, and there is no reference value at all.
So Solam couldn't help but express his disdain when he heard that Serileph had not systematically studied world history, but only church history and theology.
"Any questions?" Although she didn't know why, Selileph still sensed Solam's disdain, so she was a little angry.
"No problem!" Solam was smart not to argue with a devout believer about the falsity of the church's history, which was completely uncomfortable. "Do you know how cities are built?"
"Uh...... I don't know. "Serie Leph really doesn't know, the church didn't teach this in history.
"Tsk...... Knowledge, add knowledge, Cylie, or you'll look ignorant! Ignorant women aren't very lucky, you know. "In the education of mages, history is a subject that must be studied, because if people only have power, they are only reckless, and mages happen to hate reckless people, so every mage is a polymath, because only by reading more can you understand how to master power. And history is precisely the greatest collection of human wisdom. (Humans here do not just refer to the human race, but to the intelligent race)
History contains millions of years of human wisdom, stupidity, tragedy, comedy, in short, history itself is a great treasure, it can enlighten people, but also give people a warning.
So the mages had to learn history.
Serileif was a little unconvinced in the face of Solam's hatred, but she didn't know how to refute it, plus she was begging Soram now, so she could only shut up angrily and didn't refute.
Soram didn't continue to tease her, but said it eloquently.
"Like I said, the world is dangerous, so a long, long time ago, people learned an efficient way to survive, and that was to live in groups. Because there is a lot of strength in numbers, a group of people living together will be much safer for individuals. This is the very beginning of the city, people come together, start to divide the work, some people are responsible for collecting food, some people are responsible for building, some people are responsible for management, in short, as more people gather, there is more division of labor, but among these divisions of labor, there is one division of labor that is the most important. Do you know what it is? ”
Selly Love listened very carefully, and what Soram said was also very simple, so she also understood. Still, she couldn't answer Solam's question for a while. But luckily, she already knew what to do.
"I don't know!" Soram would answer her anyway, and she didn't bother to think about it.
Soram didn't know whether to call this woman lazy or stupid.
"It's safe! I've always said that the world is dangerous, and that's what people came together for in the first place! When a city is built, it is bound to be threatened, whether it is from monsters or other people. So if a city wants to stay tall, it has to tell people that it's safe! Therefore, the most important division of labor in a city is safety! ”
"It's like a pack of lions, a pack of lions often pays the most not the male lions who lead the pack, but the lioness who have the largest number. Hunting goes to the lioness, and raising young lions also goes to the lioness. It seems unfair, right? But in fact, everything is fair, although the male lions do not have to hunt, nor do they have to take care of the cubs, but they must be responsible for the safety of the entire lion pack, once the danger comes, the male lion must stand up, it needs to intimidate the enemy, defeat the enemy, let everyone know that this lion pack cannot be provoked! ”
Still a little confused, she didn't understand why the conversation had turned to the lion. But she knew that Soram must have had her own intentions. So he listened patiently.
"It's the same for the city, the whole city is a pack of lions, and the government of Ascatra is the male lion! If they want to protect the whole city, they must act like a male lion, intimidating the enemy and letting them know that they can't mess around the city. In the past, Ascatra did a good job, and even mages needed to buy a spell casting license to cast spells. But now? Any idea why I say the city has lost its soul? That's it! ”
