Chapter Eighty-Three: The Brain in the Jar

Looking at Loki's brother's gobbling up, little Fatuna was not to be outdone.

The little girl sat beside him and fought for food, giggling from time to time.

There was a warm feeling in the room.

The delicious hot food made both of them have a good meal.

Little Fatuna hiccuped happily as she lay on the clean, soft bed with her bulging belly.

Loki found a clean handkerchief, put a basin of warm water, and finally made the dirty half-elf girl look cleaner after half a day.

Little Fatuna felt so comfortable, giggled, and rolled happily on the bed.

Looking at the relaxed little girl, Loki said slowly, "Little Fatuna, let me ask you a few questions. ”

He also emphasized, "If you really can't remember some of these problems, don't push yourself. ”

When the half-elf girl heard this, she nodded quickly, indicating that she understood.

Loki said: "In addition to the common words of the Angelo Hotel and the barrel tavern, what other words did your mother teach you?"

Little Fatuna snapped her fingers, thought about it and said, "I can write the names of my father and mother, the signs of hotels and taverns, I can also write those words, and the rest, I want to think about it." ”

"Well, there's also a pharmacy, I've seen these words, and I've learned them......"

Loki asked gently, "Do you remember, where did you see these words, or where did you learn them?"

The little girl scratched her head, her eyes were foggy, and she thought for a while before saying, "It seems that I used to write down the pharmacy store I saw in my small town." ”

Then I asked my mother these words, and she told me how to write them, and she sold me a candy, and that was the first time I ate candy, and the sugar was really sweet. ”

Loki's gray eyes were a little dark, and he took a pen and paper, handed it to little Fatuna, and asked her to write it and try it.

The little girl gnawed on the tip of the pen for a long time, biting a bald piece of the quill pen, and then wrote a few words of the pharmacy store crookedly on the paper.

There is no mistake in the writing of these lingua franca.

Loki smiled and patted her on the head, praising her for her good writing, and the half-elf girl's eyes were happily bent into a crescent.

"Do you know how to write sweet candy?" asked Loki again.

Little Fatuna clenched her pen, thought about it, her eyes lit up, and she wrote down two more words crookedly, which were the words sweet sugar.

"I remembered, after eating candy for the first time, I asked my mother again to teach me how to write this word, hmm. ”

On the little girl's face, there was an invitation to praise me, and it seemed very accomplished to write these words.

Loki complimented her a few times, and then looked at the somewhat crooked words on the paper, but his eyes were more complicated than ever.

'Potion Shop' 'Sweet Candy', there happens to be a 'Sweet Candy Potion Shop' in Silent Town, and the owner is a half-elf middle-aged lady whose name is, Maria Sweet Candy.

There are very few places where the common word appears in Silent Town, probably only 'SAINT ANGELO Hotel' and 'Barrel Tavern', which happen to be familiar to the little girl.

Even the handwriting on the signboard, almost the same as the one on the piece of paper in her hand, seems to have come from little Fatuna.

In Loki's heart, there are indescribably complicated feelings.

Silent Town, a town made up of half-elves.

Quiet and peaceful, every resident is a really good person, this fairytale world-like town, can it exist in reality?

It is more like a fairy tale land in a child's heart, a place of imagination.

Every resident of Silent Town has a chaotic memory, and the town's instructor, Barney Longbow Sr., who claims to be an experienced adventurer, not only has no experience in weapons, but even the memory of adventure is as wildly exaggerated as a child's imagination.

Nothing in front of you feels like the real thing.

Silent Town, the townspeople, or rather, these are fantasies that only exist in the child's head, the beautiful imagination of a half-elf child.

Loki's throat was a little dry, and a ridiculous idea arose in his mind as he looked at the half-elf girl who was happy there.

Am I intruding into the beautiful imagination of a little girl, little Fatuna? What about me, in what form do I exist?

Loki's mind was in a mess, and he thought of a hypothetical from his previous life, a brain in a vat.

Also known as the brain in the bucket, it is a thought experiment in the branch of philosophy.

The main thing is that a person's brain is in an illusion created by a computer. The illusion is so real that it doesn't even matter at all.

For the human brain, it seems that all the people, objects, and the sky still exist, and their own movements and body sensations can be input.

The human brain can also be input or intercepted memories, and these memories and feelings are a mess of code, and tampering with them at will will not arouse the suspicion of the human brain.

Well, the 'brain in a vat' is left with a problem at the end.

'How do you know for sure if you're really in such an illusion?'

Loki's scalp is a little numb, and he fell into this predicament shortly after meeting the evil witch in the cave, could it be that he was caught by the evil witch and fell into some evil witchcraft that confuses memories and feelings?

Little Fatuna grew closer and closer to him, grabbing a strand of Loki's hair.

Her little fingers swirled around there, as if she could have been so happy all day.

This is such a real feeling, the little girl around her who has gone from autism to ignorance and happiness, although she has forgotten a lot of things.

But how could such a real little Fatuna be an illusion?

Loki put down speculation about the illusion in his heart for a moment.

He was going to get to the bottom of the other issues in Silent Town first, and he wasn't quite sure if the fog around the town really had no way out.

And who built the cave, and whether there would be any secrets on the other side of the waterhole.

The half-elf boy didn't think about it, but opened the rag bag he had just brought.

It used to be some of the little girl's collected rags, but now it's full of leaves and stems of strange plants.

Among them, there are also herbs that Loki ate last time to treat anesthetic toxins.

This was all picked on the way back to town, when little Fatuna reminded Loki.

Some plants that seem to be weeds everywhere have the effect of medicine.

This half-elf girl has a certain talent for distinguishing between plants and potions.

Crossbows and other weapons were also packed, and the bags suddenly became heavy, and seeing that the half-elf girl was also full of energy, Loki naturally wouldn't stay here for long.

Loki and little Fatuna, one big and one small, left the SAINT ANGELO Hotel.

They walked around the town again and bought a lot of food and supplies.

The most bought were pine resin torches and some ignition tools, as well as a large number of ropes.

It took a lot of copper, and little Fatuna kept biting her lower lip, and she gently tugged at the corners of his clothes from time to time.

The little girl looked like she was helping Loki feel sorry for the expenses.
