Chapter 221: The Game of Heavenly Selection (45)
For the citizens of Newlun City, which has suffered many disasters, the New Year of 2013 in the Guangming calendar is definitely bad.
After the dissolution of the Provisional Council of the City Hall, the main defender of this social order was lost, and the situation of the whole city was already precarious. On the first day of the new year, it was reported that the Knight Association had been destroyed, from the only trainee knight who had just joined to the founder of the Knight Guild, the third-order professional Tirio Fer, all the members of the Knight Guild, a total of 241 knights of all levels were killed in battle. The corpses were scattered throughout the Knights' Guild, and many of the knights died in a horrific manner, but not a single intruder's body was found.
Who did this? People began to ask frantically.
The Professional Alliance did not deliberately conceal the information, and soon, the news spread, the murderer is the Professional Alliance, this alliance currently consists of eight professional associations, namely the Wizards Association, the Mage Association, the Warrior Association, the Priests Association, the Warlock Association, the Ranger Association, the Thieves Association, and the Druid Association - in fact, Shen Qian of the Druid Association has died in battle, but this news has not spread.
These eight professional associations are almost evenly distributed throughout Newun City, and people may not have an idea of the strength of the professional alliance, but there are many people who know how powerful the professional associations are at their doorstep. Especially Huo Run and Bob, they are not low-key at all, and they can stop the crying of children with exaggerated words, even if it is a very low-key wizarding association, Yechen's two pets are also quite notorious.
The murderer was found, but no one went to avenge the Knights' Guild, no one dared, and no one wanted to do so. Various professional associations still exist here, and many professionals have been recruited under the help of murderous names.
Very suddenly, in just a day or two, the professional organizations of Newlun City began to fight among themselves, from the old city to the new city, almost every block has professionals fighting.
Perhaps it's because the actions of the Professional League have completely ignited a long-standing sense of insecurity.
Some trialists may find it ridiculous, but in fact, even after several months of world change, a considerable number of citizens still have the illusion that the town hall can organize and lead everyone against the invasion of wildlife in the face of such a catastrophe for human civilization.
In modern society, once a major natural and man-made disaster occurs, the government will come forward to mobilize social forces to resist it, and people are also accustomed to relying on state institutions. Even in the face of such a big world change, this kind of inertial thinking still exists and is deeply rooted, and even many people say that the end has come and mankind will eventually be destroyed, but in the depths of their subconscious, they still do not believe, or do not realize that this level of world change will lead to the complete collapse of state institutions.
But now, with the demise of the Knight Guild, not to mention everyone, at least the leaders of the professional organizations have realized that times have really changed, and if they are not strong enough, they will really die. If a person wants to become strong, he needs to go to the forest to find wild animals and work hard, but if an organization wants to be strong, he has to go to other professional organizations to seize the living space and compete for excellent professionals. The easiest way to do this is to destroy other professional organizations, as the Professional League did.
The New Year of 2013 was accompanied by a thick blood, and most of the professional organizations were fighting desperately with each other, and some of them even found the wizarding association. You don't have to worry about these Yechen, the idle and boring hurt rain can't resist the urge to do it.
As for Yechen......
"What are you doing?" Hypatia asked.
She originally had something to discuss with Yechen, but when she entered the door, she saw Yechen sitting on the sofa, looking at a plate of fish on the coffee table in a daze.
Hypatia's question woke her up, and she gestured and said, "How about a taste of this fish?" ”
Hypatia smiled and said, "What, you've come up with a new recipe?" She knew that Yechen also had a "cook" profession and could make a lot of delicious food.
Hypatia sat down opposite Yechen, tasted a piece of fish, and said, "It's a little cold, but it tastes good, what's wrong?" ”
Ye Chen frowned slightly and said, "Have you ever felt that this plate of fish has no soul." ”
"Nonsense, you've made it into a dish, can you still have a soul?"
"No, I mean to say...... This fish has no spirituality, no sense of that kind, you understand? Yechen gestured, but he didn't know what he was gestureting, and said, "That's how it feels." ”
The smile on Hypatia's face disappeared, and she said a little coldly: "Chen, I remember that you are a person with scientific thinking. ”
Yechen furrowed his brows, chuckled, and said, "Remember what we talked about before?" The scientific thinking you are talking about, or I have blindly called it classical scientific thinking, is actually mathematical thinking. ”
"Yes, I remember you agree with that."
Yechen stretched out a finger and shook it, and said, "First of all, I want to emphasize that I just agree, not very much. It is true that many problems in this world can be solved with mathematical thinking, at least one can get a similar answer, but the world is so complex, and some things are too complex to be beyond the scope of mathematical thinking we imagine. ”
"For example." Hypatia still has a straight face, it's strange that a wizard has such a persistent mathematical mind.
"For example, art, such as painting, sculpture, literature...... You agree that these things are far more complex than modern mathematics, right? ”
"Not necessarily, I've recently seen some very esoteric mathematical theories, such as chaos theory......"
"You should know that the mathematical model constructed by chaos theory is still very shallow compared to the real world, especially the art categories I just mentioned."
Hypatia was silent for a while, and then said, "I remember that cooking is a skill, not an art!" ”
The two of them have talked about this topic before, and the consensus is that there is no difference between the two, but the laws of technology are relatively clear, but the laws of art are very obscure. And cooking is the ratio of the taste of various ingredients, which is relatively certain. For example, if you want to achieve the taste of a fish, you need to follow a fixed method and use a fixed ingredient, which can be replaced, but in general it is relatively certain. And art is different, art that pays too much attention to technology is often called too heavy craftsmanship, and there is no such feeling, which is the feeling that Yechen just said.
"Yes, that's exactly what I thought before." "But now I've changed my mind, for the simple reason that psionic abilities are too complicated. ”
If you want to make a dish with a specific taste, there are rules to follow, and this Yechen can do it, but for her, the most important thing in cooking is not to cook the ingredients, but to cook the spiritual energy in them.
This one is very complicated, different mutant creatures contain different sizes of psionic energy, and there seem to be differences in types, and what is more troublesome is that it is not constant.
The best piece of meat for a pig is the inner loin, this is certain, all pigs are like this, but the size of the psionic energy contained in each different part of a wild boar is completely different. Ye Chen suspected that this was different from the discovery of the mutation of creatures, as I had said before, even if it was the same creature, there were different types of mutation directions, and different types of mutation directions were too complicated to subdivide. Yechen has even seen two wild boars of the same species, one of the left front leg has more concentrated spiritual energy, and the other right front leg spiritual energy is more concentrated, what is this!
Because of the uneven distribution of spiritual energy in the ingredients, and Ye Chen's mastery of how to mature spiritual energy is not very good, so she is really like making art when she cooks now, it all depends on her feelings. Sometimes it feels a little better, but often it happens to be in this situation, and it feels bad, similar to the artist's inspiration drying up. Yechen has made three fish tonight, and the taste is actually similar, but the degree of maturation of psionic energy is very different, and none of them is satisfactory to her.
"Okay." Hypatia spread her hands and said, "You know, I don't know anything about art, and if you want someone to try it, I can help, but I really can't make any constructive suggestions." ”
After thinking about it for a while, Hypatia said, "And I think this fish is already very good." As he spoke, a pair of chopsticks went down again. Hypatia didn't know how to use chopsticks at first, but most of the food she cooked was Chinese, and many dishes were more suitable for chopsticks, and they weren't very complicated, so she learned it quickly.
"Okay, this plate of fish is yours." Yechen stood up and said, "There's one fish left, I'll try again, if it doesn't work...... Come here today, and talk about it tomorrow. ”
Yechen got up and went to the kitchen, slaughtered the fish, and when he was marinating it with condiments, he said to Hypatia, who was still eating the fish slowly, "By the way, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
Hypatia is a very polite person, and the third floor of the Soul Abyss Wizard Association is considered by her to be Yechen's private space, and she will not come up if there is nothing to do.
Hypatia looked back, and Yechen was busy again, so she had to walk to the kitchen door with a plate and said, "That's right, many wizards have recently submitted applications, hoping to join the wizarding association. ”
Ye Chen adjusted the sauce in his hand and said, "That's good, isn't that what we want?" ”
Indeed, the chaos in Newlun City now is exactly what Yechen and Huorun are looking forward to, and everyone's heart is full of insecurity, how can they ensure the safety of their lives? It's as simple as joining a powerful organization, such as a professional association.
The slaughter of the entire Knight Guild overnight certainly made many people think that their professional guild was too brutal, but considering the real background, this kind of brutality may not be regarded as a solid support. It is only under such environmental conditions that their professional associations can be truly developed.
"I know." Hypatia seemed to think of something bad, and said with an ugly face, "Some wizards are really ...... It's just too much. ”
With a faint smile on his face, Yechen said, "You know, wizards are like that. ”
Although not as serious as a warlock, a wizard with the help of soul power is not a good person, and all kinds of emotions in the soul can also pollute the soul of a wizard, as we all know, any emotion that cannot be controlled is definitely a bad thing. Affected by the various emotions in the soul, there are not many sane and sober people among the wizards, most of them have strange tempers, and as for a few, they are really evil people.
"I know, I know." There was a pent-up anger on Hypatia's face, and she said, "But some wizards are just too much, they really do everything. ”
Yechen looked into Hypatia's eyes, and when she saw that she was a little empty, she retracted her gaze and said, "I remember that we had established the rules and regulations of a wizarding guild before, right?" Did those excessive wizards break the rules and regulations? ”
"Yes, why not? There are more places where they break the rules. Hypatia said.
This is normal, Ye Chen's requirement is that he must be promoted to two levels to become a member of the Wizards Guild, and now it is only a few months before the world changes, and many trialists are only two levels. If you want to level up, you have to fight with the wild animals in the forest. Hurt Rain is already a very good trialist, and he also has an extremely strong self-healing talent, and he has been carried back by Serena several times and almost died. As for Yechen himself, he is also risking his life to level up, but it is not his own life that is risking, but the lives of those pets, Serena, Tamamo, and Ansu have all had times when their lives were in danger. Yechen had heard from Huorun that there were really trialists who died in the process of leveling, and they didn't encounter traps, and no one sneaked up, just because one was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, and he couldn't carry it, so he died. So don't say that people hiding in the city are too cowardly, if they really go out to level up, they may die faster. But the reality is like this, if you don't level up, you will die sooner or later, if you level up, although it is very dangerous, but at least there is a trace of vitality, seize this trace of vitality, and promote to the second level, the mortality rate will be much lower.
Think about it, if you live in this environment and rise to the second level, how can there be good people? And the profession is still a wizard, and the soul is easily polluted. Therefore, it is normal for the wizards recruited by Yechen's wizarding association to be unruly.
"Since you don't follow the rules, you will be punished." Yechen said.
"However, we do not stipulate the content of the punishment." Speaking of this, Hypatia is still a little embarrassed, the rules and regulations of the Wizarding Association were drafted by her, and then discussed with Yechen to confirm them one by one, but she actually forgot the punishment regulations, only indicating what she could not do, as for what would happen if she did it, there were no regulations at all. Hypatia didn't know what was wrong with her brain at that time, how she had made such a big mistake.
The corners of Ye Chen's mouth were slightly hooked, and he said, "What punishment content do you need, aren't you lacking experimental materials?" ”
