Chapter 13: Sleepless Nights on the Day of the Tree 4
Clinos was talking about incomprehensible humorous jokes, and everyone in the conversation could only laugh and pretend to understand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
One day the father asked his son, who was studying in Kanta, "What do you learn in school?" and the son replied, "I study natural sciences and philosophy." The father brought the freshly made roast chicken and said, "What's the use of learning this?" The son said, "In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just an ordinary roast chicken." But philosophy makes us realize that in addition to the roast chicken on the table, there is also an ideal perfect entity. My father said disdainfully, "I think you can go and eat that ideal roast chicken to fill your stomach." Clinos said.
As a result, no one laughed, because they didn't understand philosophy very well, and they couldn't understand the ridicule. Philosophy is studied in both the mage's curriculum, as both the mage and the elf believe that magic is an understanding and use of nature. How to make a stone float, we must first have a perfect understanding of the object of stone. Know who you're casting and use your awareness to put magic to work for your consciousness.
When elves teach magic, they use ancient elven language to interpret the truth of matter. Magic teaches abstract ideas to future generations through language. Even so, the elves were confused. The knowledge of things comes only from the opinions of the predecessors, but this is always just a guess about the unknown, and no one guarantees that they are all correct.
Philosophically, or as the elves call wisdom. The world is imperfect and defective, a shadow of a perfect world. There is no absolute beauty and eternity in the world, and everything exists only in the absolute perfect world. Behind everything is a glimpse of a perfect illusion, which can outline an eternal paradise. Many people believe that it is the kingdom of God. The arcane energy we receive from the sun is a glimpse of the heavenly ideals.
So magic is the gift of visionaries, the gift of making their wild ideals a reality.
Studying philosophy is a point, but more important is the perceptual talent for the arcane, and many famous scholars are also ignorant of magic.
"In my opinion, philosophers are talking about metaphors that are both copied and copied. They themselves don't understand what they mean, and they say it to confuse everyone. If you do, philosophers will be happy because their well-thought-out deception has fooled people. A drunken woman said.
Another accountant's wife laughed and said, "Then my husband must be a very good philosopher, and he always talks about profits, interest, and depreciation." ”
"Mr. Klinos, it seems that no one understands the meaning of your joke. It's better to have some popular fun," someone said.
"I'll tell you one!" someone said, "A man goes to a blacksmith and prepares to make a kitchen knife." The blacksmith said, "You are pig iron, and you can't make a kitchen knife." The man said angrily, I threw it into the pot and boiled it overnight, and it was no longer pig iron!"
The joke was so easy to understand that it made everyone laugh.
Clinos also smiled and said, "It's a good joke for a fool to do something stupid." But when smart people do stupid things, the joke will be passed down through the ages. ”
Ebna thought for a moment and said, "It's like you think you have a palm-sized mosquito in your room and you don't dare to close your eyes for a week?"
"Are there really palm-sized mosquitoes?" someone asked.
Later, he almost demolished the walls of the room, and he didn't find the mosquito, so it was just a nightmare. Ebner recalled with a blank face.
"Maybe it was a nightmare, but I was 10 years old. Klinos smiled and said, "And it's really scary to be afraid to watch out for a mosquito that doesn't exist." ”
Everyone laughed even harder, and someone chimed in, "Mr. Clinos, you are right. It's funnier for one smart person to do something stupid than for 10 fools to do something stupid. ”
Only then did Ebna realize that he had done this kind of amusement, even though he was simply stating the facts that fit the topic. Ebner looked at Klinos' expression and wondered if it had made him angry. But Ebna couldn't even see the person who was angry, let alone observe the complicated expression of Klinos.
Klinos didn't care much about Ebner's claims, after all, it was true, and there was no exaggeration. In order to find the mosquito, Clinos was almost ready to burn his house, but fortunately he was still sane.
Serena suddenly appeared in Klinos' ear and said, "Borrow a step to speak......"
Klinus knew what news she had dug up, or that she had committed a murderous occupational disease, so it was better to find out first. Klinos turned away from the crowd, who were still asking Ebner about himself. This time, Ebner kept his mouth very tight, so as not to make people unhappy again.
Clinos followed Serena to a place where no one was looking, and as he went:
"Did you notice anything again?"
Serena glanced blankly and said, "Something happened in the church shelter at the west end of the village, which may also be the cause of the resentful spirits. ”
Clinos said with interest: "Are there any sightings?"
"There was a drunkard who had seen a translucent woman, and I made sure he wasn't lying. ”
"I've heard about the spirits from the villagers, but there are only 3 victims. They went up to the mountains together to hunt and were killed. Such a vicious spirit did not move for months afterward. There is no suffocating wailing in the night, no darkness that freezes the air, which is completely inconsistent with the style of the wraith. I had expected it to be some murder disguise, and if I wanted to kill someone I would have made up a lie about a ghost, but this sighting made things interesting. Klinos said.
"Brother Harris of the church is in charge of the burial, and he can tell you about it, and it must have something to do with the Imperial Guard. Serena said.
"Why do you think so?"
"Because Bill thinks so, I guess so. ”
"Is there anything else I need to know?" The complicated Wraith event excites Klinos, and the things that excite Klinos will arouse his competitive spirit, and it seems that he is ready to go all out to solve the Wraith matter.
Serena was as happy as a child with a new toy when she saw Klinos, and said mockingly, "One more thing you need to know, I heard of a man who was afraid of the mosquitoes he had hallucinated in, and didn't sleep well for a week. ”
"Miss Serena, sometimes I want to blind you in the eye. Clinos said helplessly.
"Don't blame me, it's all your own eyes, and you repeat it repeatedly. Serena laughed.
Klinos was about to go to this trouble when he suddenly realized, "Miss Serena, you tell me these things, what are you going to do yourself?"
"Regardless of your affairs, you go and find the truth in your own way, and I will use my own way to find it. ”
"And rightfully so...... Miss Serena. ”
With that, Serena left the party.
Klinus was back to the noisy crowd he had been telling around Ebner jokes he didn't understand, and in fact Ebner didn't understand any jokes.
Klinus interrupted, "Abner, go find Abel, he has a tracer on him, it is not difficult to find, make sure he does not run to the west of the village." ”
Ebna also knew about the spirits, and the west of the village was now a source of conversation.
"I don't think I'm going to be led by the nose by a 10-year-old kid who will stay away from me on the west side of the village. Abner said.
"That's the best, I'll go to the church in the west of the village now. Ask about the spirit, I don't want that curious kid to get in any more trouble. Klinos said.
Abel was playing with other children not far away, and the children had never seen an orc, and they were curious to touch Abel's fur. Some wanted to pull Abel's tail, almost leaving scratches on their faces.
