Chapter 1645: The Sage of Knowledge (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription, Asking for a Recommendation) Asking for a Monthly Pass!!
Solam is a person who represents trouble.
This is not someone else's slander, but the fact, this guy is a disaster, basically wherever he goes, something will happen. Even Soram himself can't deny this, and even he sometimes complains about himself, wondering if he has been cursed by some kind.
After thinking about it, Soram decided to throw the pot to Lady Doom, and in Solam's opinion, he had this troublesome curse on him since he had been with Ben Saba. This guy completely ignores that he was also a trouble basket before he even touched Bensaba.
But this time, Soram really didn't make a fuss, and he couldn't be more low-key. In Solam's opinion, he was just out for a tour, with no purpose at all, and he wouldn't even stay at Candlestick for too long. So he didn't understand at all why the intellectual monks would come to him.
Soon the monk was standing in front of Solam and them.
"Is this Lord Solam?"
Very polite, very humble attitude, and although this monk is not handsome, and even his hairline is about to retreat to the back of his head, he has a natural affinity, which makes people look very comfortable, especially his smile, which always gives people a feeling of 'this guy is a good old man'.
"If there is no second man named Solam, then you are looking for me, respected proclaimer, what are you looking for me?"
The monks of the monastery of knowledge generally call themselves propagators, and their greatest duty is to proclaim knowledge, in addition to learning and protecting it. Most of the monks of the Monastery of Knowledge are followers from Ogma, and Ogma's greatest wish, at least at this stage, is to eliminate illiteracy, so the Monastery of Knowledge, which is deeply influenced by Ogma's teachings, is also doing its best to spread knowledge.
At the same time, these advocates are also the largest book buyers on the continent, and they like to find people to buy books for them, especially those rare books, which they want at all costs.
Of course, they won't use force, but they will use stratagem, after all, there is really no shortage of scholars, tricks or something.
"I'd like to make sure, did you order a large batch of books in the Knowledge Islands?"
The good-looking monk of knowledge was straightforward in stating his purpose, but he soon realized that he seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. It's even a little rude. So he quickly apologized sincerely to Solam.
"I'm sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry and forgot to introduce my name. My name is Phil Coulson, a seventh-order intellectual sage. ”
Soram didn't care much about his politeness or impoliteness, because Solam felt that this guy didn't have any malice, although Solam was stingy, but in the case that the other party didn't hate it, and there was no malice, Solam was still very generous, at least he wouldn't care if he was polite or not, anyway, Soram himself was not a humble gentleman.
But when he heard this Phil Coulson introduce himself as a seventh-order knowledge sage, Solam was really stunned.
It's not that Soram knows him, it's that his job title is really scary.
The Sage of Knowledge is a title unique to the Monastery of Knowledge, and in summary, it can be regarded as the leadership class of the Monastery of Knowledge. In the Monastery of Knowledge, those knowledge monks also have ranks, generally speaking, the first to the fifth rank are all called knowledge monks, and only those who reach the sixth rank can be called sages.
In Faerun, the title of sage is not something that can be worn casually, and although Solam doesn't know if there is any selection mechanism in it, the title of sage is really rare. The Monastery of Knowledge, on the other hand, is one of the very few organizations in the mainland that can issue this title on its own. At least the rest of the mainland still recognizes this title.
And the selection mechanism of the Monastery of Knowledge is also very simple, that is, the examination. Well, it's the kind of exam you imagine, one exam paper and one pen. The only difference is that the invigilator has become a god, and this exam, known as the pre-divine exam, is conducted in the presence of the god of knowledge.
Moreover, the most important sage exams attract the attention of many gods, such as the gods of the knowledge system, and sometimes the goddess of magic, Mystra, the god of mages, Azus, and the lord of radiance, Losanda, also participate.
In particular, the Great Sage Examination for the Supreme Leader of the Monastery of Knowledge will all be present. In short, it is precisely because it is paid attention to and certified by the gods that the sages of the Monastery of Knowledge enjoy an extremely high reputation in the mainland.
And this Phil Coulson is actually a seventh-order sage, which is definitely a big shot, at least Soram has to be very polite to him. Although Solam is a rough man, he still has a natural respect for a reader of this level.
"I did order a batch of books in the Knowledge Islands, but how could this bother a wise man of knowledge, why would he find me? Could it be that Candlecastle has some laws restricting the purchase of books in large quantities? ”
Solam still wondered why this intellectual sage of such a high position would come to him. Candlecastle is Ogmar's territory, and the king of knowledge, the naming of all things, has always supported the spread of knowledge. It stands to reason that Solam's approach is definitely in support of Ogma's teachings, so it is impossible for Ogma's followers to oppose it, right?
"No, no, no, you're mistaken, how could Candlecastle have such a mad law? Knowledge is created to be disseminated, and if knowledge is hidden, it is contrary to the essence of knowledge. So don't get me wrong, I'm not here to stop you. ”
It seems that all the gods are this virtue, and when it comes to the teachings of their beliefs, they are all like they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they can't be excited, even if they are sages. And according to the words and deeds of this one, this is clearly an intellectual sage of the radical faction.
The same is true of the moderate intellectuals, or sages, who have an attitude that nothing should be excessive, and they believe that some knowledge should not be known, at least not by some unsuitable people. And some knowledge itself is too evil to control, and it needs to be strictly controlled.
In short, the two factions are almost irreconcilable at this point, and if they weren't both Svens, they would have fought a long time ago. But for so many years, the two factions have continued to engage in heated debates every year. But so far, the radicals have not won once.
It's a sad story, and it's a shame that these people are really hard-headed, and even after countless years, this great debate is still going on, and maybe even forever, knowing the end of the world.
"Then you are ......"
