Chapter Twenty-Eight: Clinos White 2

readx;? Clinos did not return to the table, but in addition to the tavern. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He asked Ogst to bring the message back, saying that he was in a hurry. Clinos didn't know how long his trip would take, and the effects of constipation were not a good thing. But what worries him more is whether Serena will be too talkative, and her mind-reading trick is undoubtedly very dramatic.

Clinos had guessed correctly, the logic knight Ognell Nicholas had indeed visited Estile, and soon sent a message that he wanted to talk to.

Clinos exited the basement back door of the Dragon Tavern and was immediately below a series of circular slopes. This tavern is hovering above the city's peaks like a dragon.

It didn't take a few steps to a residential area, with its narrow streets and trolleys scattered everywhere. There were ropes above their heads to dry their clothes, and some people who were late to collect clothes poked their heads out of the windows, only to catch a glimpse of Klinus in a dress, and they couldn't help but look at it with curiosity.

Klinos followed the directions and found an antique shop with a sign that read "Inheritor". Klinus pushed the door open and walked in, his attention caught with a large, sketchy map of Tours on the wall. If you look closely, this thing is not hanging on the wall, but the whole wall is an antique. Sealed in glass by magic, no, it should be said to be a protective layer plated with glass. Every speck of dust on it is fixed where it belongs, and the boxy appearance makes people feel like a glass case.

Glass is a substance with Y-body characteristics, and the ability to make glass so plastic must be due to the use of magic to enhance its Y-body properties.

"It's getting late, I'm closing. "An old man with a goatee came out from behind the counter, he was too short to sit behind and couldn't see anyone at all. Carrying a strange cane, with three hollow grooves on the top, it looks like this wood grows like this. He held on to his crutches, and if you pulled it away, the old man would undoubtedly fall to the ground.

"Uh......" Clinos lowered his voice, feeling like it was enough to hurt the old man's body, "I know it's late, it's just that I need to find something urgently." ”

Naturally, there was nothing in the antique shop that the average person desperately needed, and the old man listened, and said, "I may know what you are looking for." ”

Klinus followed the old man's lead, and his slow pace made people sleepy. I finally made it to the counter of the store, and it felt like it was more strenuous than walking from the Dragon Tavern.

The old man poured out three more inconspicuous beads from an inconspicuous box, and said to Clinos, "That's what the man told you to find, right?"

............

Klinus rushed into a dimly lit cubicle, which was the church's prayer room, only the partitions between them were removed.

"It's faster than I expected, Mistress Clinois. ”

"It's easier than I expected, Lord Ognair. ”

The dimly lit cubicle couldn't see what Ognel was doing, but he should have covered his mouth and smiled nervously: "What do the three beads mean?"

Clinos did not like to repeat things, and said with disgust: "The three beads represent an unforeseen and unsolvable problem in academia, and even if there are harsh initial conditions in astrophysics, the interaction of three identical points of mass with each other will always tend to be chaotic." ”

"Yes, that's it. Ognel said: "The mere natural philosophy we have mastered, that is, physics in general, is completely incapable of solving a simple problem, and this is what our poor knowledge can do." ”

"You want to find the truth?" said Clinos, "then go to a book, or stay in the laboratory." ”

"No, Lord Clinois. Ognel said, "Truth can never be found by conventional means." ”

"Why, aren't the other axioms also derived from experiments?"

"The axioms we have summarized are only a small part of the world's truths, and the true truths cannot be derived through observation or experimentation. Ognaire, seeing that he did not speak, continued: "We can derive some truths about the simple structure of the world, such as the truth of the world that exists only by one point, and whose truth is as simple as existence or non-existence. When the world is complex enough to allow a line to arise, the essence of the thing needs to be described in addition to whether it exists or not, and the length of the line needs to be added. We also need to stipulate that there is no length for a point, or that the smallest unit of measurement for length is 'existing', otherwise it is considered to be non-existent. ”

Clinos followed Ognell's thoughts, "What do you want to say?"

"What about when things get more complicated?" Ognel giggled, "what about when things get more interesting? We allow other points to exist, we allow other lines to exist." Then the existence of a line needs to be described as intersecting or not intersecting a line. The world is full of polygons made up of intersecting lines, and at this time we need to add the word area to describe a figure. The intersection of the two lines brought by the way, we have to describe it in terms of angles. As we let go of our limitations on this world, the existence of a circle becomes acceptable, and curves become acceptable. We describe it as a pattern in which a line segment rotates one circle from one endpoint. What are the truths of this simple world that we have at this time?"

"The existence of non-unique points, lines, and curves is allowed in the world, the smallest unit of measurement in the world is the size of the point 'exists', any point can be made in the world, a point can be made a straight line with another point as the target, and any line segment can be made a circle with any end point as the center of the circle. Klinis said.

"Yes, these are the truths. They are not connected to each other, and at the same time they are indispensable to the important rules that make up the world. We conclude that truth cannot be deduced from other truths, do you agree? ”

"It's hard to object. Klinos said.

"These are the truths of the flat world that we are limited to, from which we can derive the method of calculating the area, the method of calculating the curvature, and the degree of pi. But none of this is the truth, but we who form the basis of the world see it as the truth. Ognell said, "But what truth can be obtained by those who live in squares? Perhaps they have not even seen a circle, and may have exhausted all their faculties, and may have only a small part of the truth." We are able to understand it because the world we created is so simple and is made according to our logic and rules. But in reality......"

"A finite observer, and an infinite world. Klinus said, "Do you want to say that?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. Ognair said, "I suggest you cooperate with us, and we can help you find the Stick of Truth." When it's over, we'll finally be able to see what the truth of the world is!"

Clinos could almost see Ognair's dancing eyebrows and exaggerated expression, "Who is 'we'?"

"Freemasons. Ognel whispered, "We can provide money, information, 、......" Ognel wanted to say something, but finally stopped.

"You know where the Stick of Truth is, why don't you go yourself?" asked Clinos.

"It's a pity we don't know, but we do know Martin Marcellus has clues. "For some reason, Martin thinks that only you have a chance to get the Stick of Truth," Ognel said. ”

Feeling tricked, Klinos said, "Thank you for the late news." ”

"I apologize to you, but we are not as well informed as the Marcellus family. Ognair said.

"If I cooperate, what will it cost?" asked Clinos.

"We take the rod of truth and make it work for the truth, not for the greedy. Ognair said.

The corners of Klinos's mouth twitched, and he said, "Forgive me, my lord, I must refuse." ”
