Chapter 44: Who Am I?

When Seeger found Professor McLaren, he was in a lecture hall in a circular lecture hall.

McLaren is Grandma Fanny's lover, and according to gossip rumors, the love between the professor and Grandma Fanny once caused a sensation in the entire royal capital, and the final tragic ending made many people shush.

Now a professor of philosophy, he also enjoys researching things related to the occult, but only in research.

Fanny had told him before that McLaren was a very knowledgeable elder and that if there was anything he didn't understand, he could ask him.

Sig didn't bother the other party's class, so he casually found a seat and sat down, waiting quietly.

......

"What is the nature of this world, and what are we?"

Professor McLaren scribbled a few large chalk words on the blackboard, then pushed his glasses and looked at the students with a smile.

"I've asked a lot of people these two questions, but no one has ever given me a convincing answer. McLaren smiled at the students and said, "People often say that the world is not the world, composed of flowers, flowers, plants, land and water. But...... Is that really the case?"

"I used to study the occult, and there was a spell called illusion. The powerful Mystic is able to construct an entire world within the illusionary space with his spiritual powers, and then sink the enemies who fall into it forever. ”

Then, after his enemies fall into the illusion, they will naturally think that the world they live in is the real world. Isn't that the same as what we think now? Have you ever thought about it, maybe...... This world is just a fantasy world, and we are just illusionary creatures forcibly created by powerful mysteries?"

McLaren smiled playfully as he looked at the students as they lost their thoughts.

Sig sat in the back row, and suddenly became interested. He felt that what the old man was talking about was much more interesting than that of the group of revolutionaries outside.

The nature of the world?

That's a good question.

Sigurt hadn't thought about it before, or rather, he had never realized it, but the old man's words just now made him think about it with great fear.

He's been through a vision!

Good illusions often give people a very real feeling, and it is difficult to detect falling into them.

But the professor says that the world is all an illusion, which Seeger disagrees with.

"The more real the illusion constructed by the Mystic, the more calculations need to be made, and the more mental power is consumed. If a mysterious person wants to construct such a huge world, he really doesn't know how much mental power it will take to calculate. Not to mention the amount of more it takes to maintain the illusion. Seeger shook his head, he disagreed, but the inspiration Professor McLaren had just given him was striking.

With these two questions as a starting point, Professor McLaren began his philosophy course today.

......

Time flew by, and soon only Sieg and McLaren, who were tidying up the podium, were left in the classroom.

Sieg got up and walked over slowly.

"Classmate, what's the matter?" McLaren pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Professor, I am a mystic who adores you. Sigurt didn't identify himself, he introduced himself: "I came here this time, I want to ask you about something." ”

Fanny once said that she should not bother him.

McLaren was slightly stunned and said, "Mystery?"

Sieg nodded.

"Understood. McLaren nodded and said, "Come with me." ”

The professor didn't seem to be a stranger to the Mysteries, not even surprised, and it seemed that there was probably no shortage of similar people in his social circle.

In the next time, Sieg showed his intention, and the other party readily agreed. Seeger then began to study ancient Bailun with McLaren. The professor is a very sunny and humorous person, very knowledgeable.

Under his guidance, Sieg quickly cracked the meaning of the last few words, broke through the last barrier of the Bailun language, and all the word systems were connected in a string, and slowly had a feeling.

Before leaving, Seeger couldn't help but ask the same question from the previous class.

"What do you think, Professor, is the nature of our world, and what is our own nature?" said Seeger, curious.

McLaren smiled slightly, closed the book, his eyes shining wisely through the thick lenses, and said, "I don't know this question." ”

"Don't know?"

"Yes. McLaren seemed to be recalling something, and suddenly said inexplicably: "I used to think that I was who I was, because I thought, so I existed." But...... Later I came across a mysterious event, and in that incident...... I saw me dead, my body already decomposing, giving birth to maggots, and being bitten by scavengers. ”

He shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I thought it was just an illusion at first, but it felt so real...... Even I myself thought I was dead at one point. ”

Sieg sat next to him, silent.

"Well, I said something inexplicable to make you laugh. McLaren paused for his books and began to clean up the table.

"Professor. Sieg suddenly spoke, "You say...... You saw your own body, where did that happen?"

McLaren shook his head and said, "It's a lot of young things, and my memories are a little blurry...... I think it was when I was in the Wilden family castle. ”

"Thank you. Sieg put away his book in Baillen, said goodbye, and left.

Professor McLaren's words just now brought his memory back to that scene not long ago.

It was in the citadel of Pahlavi that he also saw his own body, the terrible state of being cut into pieces!

"I ...... What is it?" Seeger began to ponder the philosophical question.

......

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another few days passed.

On this day, Sieg received an invitation from the largest Red Fox auction house in the North District, and the inviter was Nyusis.

"The auction has finally begun. Sieg put away the letter.

During this time, he relied on selling small batches of [Night Elixir] to harvest a large number of magic energy stones, and even brought Niusis to make a fortune, and the cooperation between the two became more and more frequent.

According to the description in the letter, this underground auction may be the largest in the Kingdom of Blackhold in the last ten years, and there will probably be no less than 100 mysteries alone.

A mystic with a scale of 100 people, this scale is unprecedented in the Black Castle Kingdom. And according to Niusis, these mysteries come from the major bloodline families in the kingdom, and most of them are rushing for the finale item of the auction - a mysterious map.

Even Niusis didn't have the authority to know about this map, he only knew that the matter was very important, and the high-ranking officials of the Red Fox Company even came here in person to preside over the auction.

That map attracted countless bloodline families, and even people from other nearby kingdoms to join in the fun.

Sieg didn't care what the mysterious map was, and he wouldn't get it anyway. What he really cared about was whether he could buy the relevant occult books at auction.

Knowledge is what he is most concerned about at the moment.

Of course, in addition to knowledge, Sieg is also looking around for the corresponding spatial items. Only with space items can he successfully build a passage to the world of gluttony.

However, space items can only be made by the mysterious space school, and there are very few circulating on the market, and there is no clue for Niusis to find his head, and Sieg can only hope that this auction will be fruitful.
