Chapter 9 Everyday Life
History, like a mirror, reflects pure human nature, in fact, man is a very simple creature, Bran used to hear others say that the human heart is complicated in his previous life, but in fact, if you look at history, you will know that people are actually very simple. Because most people are selfish, that is, self-interested creatures, what they do, they will do it in their own advantageous direction, except for the difference in hardware conditions such as IQ, different people face the same situation, their choices are the same.
If you read more history and learn more about the deeds of our predecessors, you will find many people and many things in history. Although the ages are different and the characters are different, the events that took place are strikingly similar. This is the necessity of chance in history, just like probability, the more sample examples can be collected, the probability will be infinitely closer to the possibility of that theory.
But what about the choices people made in history? They make a choice of things, not in two directions, not in two directions, but in one direction, and that is in the direction that is beneficial to themselves. This is determined by human nature, which is in favor of one's own direction, and this kind of egoism makes people become very simple creatures. Those who say that people have complicated hearts underestimate the IQ of others and overestimate their own.
If you do an experiment and give each of 1,000 single dogs a high-quality girlfriend, and you can choose whether you want it or not, then there are two possibilities, and each probability accounts for 50%, but in reality? Only a neurotic would choose not to.
If there is no history, many people will never know in their lifetime that many years ago, there were many people like themselves, facing the same situation as themselves, and making the same choice.
Some people believe in the theory of parallel space, different spaces have different themselves, each of them is different, in fact, no matter how many self there are, as long as it is a person, then in the face of choice, people have only one simple way, which is beneficial to themselves. This is also the reason why Bran loves history, because history is always strikingly similar. Ancient people paid attention to reincarnation and said reincarnation, but in fact, they also discovered this law. Many people think that people's personalities are strange and diverse, but Bran thinks that there are only a few types of people, thinking back to elementary school, junior high school, high school, different classes, different people, and different ages, but there are always a few people who are particularly similar.
Every class has a proud and beautiful class flower, a taciturn thin boy who doesn't like sports, a school committee who likes to study, a serious and responsible class leader, and a sports committee member who doesn't study well but stands out for justice.
It's not that Bran makes people think of people, it's that they are really face-painted, and sometimes Bran thinks too much, and he wonders if he is living in a virtual world, and everyone else is an NPC that has been set......
"Bran," an angry voice rang out
"Huh?" Bran said blankly.
"What is the language of the Lannisters?"
"The Lannisters have debts to pay." Bran subconsciously replied, Bran remembered this little devil often said, just as his father often said that winter was coming.
"No, no, no, that's a proverb, the Lannister's language isn't that, think about it." Maester Lewyn was completely angry with this listless student, and wondered if this student was really as intelligent and quick-witted as Duke Stark had said, and remembered the smug feeling he felt when Duke Stark came back to ask him for advice. In his words, the Stark family finally has a man who eats with his brain.
"I don't know". As a high school veteran fritter who has experienced the baptism of many teachers, Bran naturally knows. When the teacher asks you to answer the question, he doesn't really ask you to answer the question, but you slip away and get distracted, and the teacher wants to find an excuse to teach you. If you really answered word for word, it would be a slap in the face to the teacher, and besides, Bran really didn't know, isn't it a clan language to pay debts? What does the little devil always say?
"Hmm." Master Lu Wen is very satisfied, that's right, I haven't taught it yet, it's strange if you can know, see if you dare to sleep with your eyes open in my class next time.
That's right, Bran uses his intelligent assistance system to control the body, which seems to be listening carefully, but is actually daydreaming, why, because since activating the Slow Activation Shapeshifter talent, Bran has often felt sleepy, sleeping soundly at night, and unable to wake up during the day. I can't wait to sleep 24 hours a day, and I have reached the level of the Lord of Jue, and I am about to become the Emperor of Jue.
Bran also vaguely knew what this mental energy was, that is, human energy, the so-called mind, mind, and mind in the previous life. Or the spiritual power of a magician. If you don't have this stuff, you don't have the spirit. It's as if the body is hollowed out. Bran didn't have any good ways to add, and this was not a magical world, and I couldn't find a magician's cultivation manual, or meditation methods or anything like that. I had to use the simplest way to sleep.
If you are really sleepy during the day, you can buy a can of Nescafe and Red Bull in the system's mall for only one copper. If nothing is important, Bran will let the intelligent assistance system control his eyes to open, his chin nods from time to time, and then sleep by himself, don't laugh, really, when Bran was in high school, he was the master who could fall asleep while standing, and he had an intelligent assistance system. Don't sleep too easily.
By the way, do you have a name for the system? Always call you an intelligent assistance system, there is a suspicion of cheating the number of words.
"Ding, although this system is called an intelligent assistance system, there is no self-consciousness awakening, please name the host"
"In this way, see that your message pop-up function is so similar to your phone, call you Siri"
"Ding, the naming is successful, and the host will silently say in his heart, 'Hi, Siri', and the system will be turned on."
You're really thinking of yourself as a mobile phone. "Remind the host, Maester Lewyn just called you three more times, do you respond?"
Damn, I'm asleep again, I still don't want to ride a horse or climb a tree recently, it's too dangerous if I fall asleep while riding a horse, or halfway through climbing a tree.
"Bran, do you remember what I said?"
"Remember...... Remembered"
"Then you repeat, what is the Lannister language?"
"System, what did Lu Wen say just now?"
But Bran didn't hear a response, well, you're ruthless
"Hey, Siri."
"Ding, what can I do for you?"
"Tell me what Master Luwen just said."
"Ding, I can't do that, you can choose to play the audio signal that your ears just received"
"Okay, you're ruthless, play audio."
"Ding, please select the time, 1 minute ago, 2 minutes ago, 3 minutes before ......"
"Three minutes ago." The words of Maester Ruwen three minutes ago rang in my ears.
Bran listened for a while, and finally heard the answer, "....... The Lannisters are: Listen to me roar"
"The Lannisters speak to hear me roar," Bran replied quickly
"Very good, sit down, let's move on to the lesson"
"Master Lewen, may I ask you a question?" Bran really has no interest in the history of Westeros, a book of boring, smelly and long notes, and various family pretenses to boast, which is not interesting at all, far worse than what the starting gods of the previous life wrote.
If that's all there really is, that's it. Due to the age of time, because of the damage of the recorded parchment books, the negligence of the scribes, all kinds of contradictory and flawed records, there is no archaeology in this era, all kinds of right and wrong histories, and the stories made up by the bards, and the stories told by the grandmother, whether right or wrong, are recorded in the book.
So much so that later, people can no longer distinguish where the real record is in the book, where is the virtual mythology, this is like ancient Greek mythology, Homer's epic, the Book of Mountains and Seas, and the list of gods, people can no longer distinguish the truth of the things in the book, after all, this continent, the ghosts alone have disappeared for 8,000 years, and in the Middle Ages, where the average life expectancy is only 30 years old, time is enough to destroy everything.
It's no wonder that people don't believe that the ghosts are back, in their eyes, the ghosts are just ghost stories that deceive children, after all, even the night watchman who resists the ghosts doesn't believe that there are ghosts, who else will believe them, Bran thinks that if someone tells him that he has found a creature in the Book of Mountains and Seas one day in his previous life, Bran will also think that this person is crazy.
In the previous life, it was said that the history of China was up and down 5,000 years, but in fact, it was really recorded, and it was more than 2,000 years, which was also attributed to the Spring and Autumn Period of the Zuo family, and there were books such as the Legend of the Ram in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the original of these books were gone.
"Master Lewyn, how's that night watchman named Will doing?" Bran shifted the topic skill to level ten, and his skill was level nine.
Old people always have a desire to talk, if you ask him something, he will talk about everything he knows, related to this matter, and even forget what he is doing.
In my previous life, Bran had this experience, if in class, you asked the young teacher something, he would not hesitate to glare at you, and then tell you that something that has nothing to do with the class will be said after class. In his eyes, he doesn't care to talk to a little kid like you, and he might as well finish the paper early and go back to the office Dota. But if you ask an older teacher, he will be enthusiastic and talk endlessly, and the teacher who is in charge will watch the time, and stop the topic when the paper is almost finished, and finish the set of papers before the bell rings, and the irresponsible teacher can directly chat with the students for a whole lesson. At this time, some students who are not interested in the topic will secretly start their own careers, and the rest of the students listen to the teacher's story with relish. A class will be mixed up like this.
Master Lu Wen is also an old man, and naturally he is no exception. Sure enough, listening to Bran ask about the Ranger thing, his eyes lit up, and he talked about sex. "I thought you had forgotten that young man, he has been nagging me these days, wanting to thank you in person for saving his life, he was greatly frightened, these days, with wolf grass and earth dragon root decoction, it has been a lot better, at least he won't go crazy anymore."
"With Master Luwen, you can take action, and naturally the medicine will cure the disease," Bran patted a little fart
Master Luwen seemed to wave his hand proudly, "A little basic application of herbology, if I hadn't majored in occultism, a tranquilizer would have been fine for him, alas, he told me and the Duke about the events of that day, and the current savages are too treacherous, they even killed their own people, put broken corpses on the ground, and then turned into strange ghosts to scare people, maybe they were sacrificing some ancient ritual, the gods they served, but they were much crueler than the old gods and the seven gods."
"Can't it really be a ghost?" Bran couldn't help but ask
Master Leuven waved his hand, a "non-existent" meme. "If it's a strange ghost, what if they ride a big white spider? If it's a stranger, why don't you eat human flesh? The strange ghost is so powerful, that young man with small arms and legs, can he run out? ”
"People call this grass and scare snakes, let you know, send a dragoon to investigate, with dragon flames, they can break the Great Wall of Despair, but they didn't expect that now the Targaryen family is not only gone, but even the dragon is dead."
There is magic on the Great Wall, and the strange spirits can't cross the Great Wall, and now they want dragons.
