Chapter 58: The Teacher's Teachings
Although Thomas began to study the death patterns that Cheng gave him, his way of thinking was still mainly to explore the essence of the soul, and the first thing he studied was the magic patterns related to them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Every time he studied a magic pattern, he would ask himself what it had to do with the soul, what role it could play, whether it was consumed or strengthened.
In Thomas's teachings, he unconsciously mentions several complaints about the lack of soul, and this is very clear.
Not only the souls of the skeletons created by the White Skeleton King, but even ordinary souls, Thomas is very scarce.
Although Makoto didn't know where the soul he had studied before came from, he felt that he could decide where the teacher's soul would come from in the future.
Elena's soul was badly damaged, so Makoto almost took Thomas's research seriously.
Of course, things in the realm of the soul are very important in Makoto's cognition, and even if Elena is not damaged, he will find a way to let this teacher continue to study.
Interestingly, Thomas's research on the essence of the soul was to strengthen his necromancy and repair his soul.
But what Makoto wants is the knowledge of the essence of the soul itself, and countless religious ideas in previous lives have mentioned the soul as a substance, and Makoto's thirst for this knowledge is even far greater than that of Thomas himself, who is eager to mend his soul.
"Teacher, do you know any islands around, preferably low-level islands where there aren't too many intelligent undead gatherings. ”
Thomas didn't seem surprised at all by Makoto's question, and said, "Yes, yes, I have used spells to watch, and there are indeed such islands around, but this island is a bit special, and not all ghost ships will come over." ”
"But I'm ......" Speaking of this, Makoto's face changed, and he stared at Thomas and said, "The teacher already knows?"
Thomas smiled and said, "I've lit the Lamp of the Revenant, but even when the oil burns out, the ghost ship has never come. ”
"But you ...... before"
"You didn't mention it, did you? Honestly, you must not have much contact with people, you must know that there are some things that you can't easily say even if you understand them, and too directly will scare others away. Words should be said at the right time to be effective. ”
Makoto's face changed a few times, and finally he sighed weakly and asked, "So the teacher knew my condition from the beginning?"
"I didn't know, I just knew you could come here and wasn't worried about not being able to leave. ”
Thomas smiled, gave Makoto a map and said, "This is a simple map of the surrounding islands, and I'm afraid there are not many undead with complete wisdom on it, after all, not every island has a fragment of a god." ”
Cheng looked at this map, a little helpless, and at the same time a little angry, and said in a deep voice: "So the complaint that the teacher inadvertently revealed in the previous conversations, that the soul is not enough, is actually guiding me to tell the story?"
Thomas didn't care about Makoto's temper, but asked instead, "Makoto, do you remember what you said before, you said that you want to learn all my knowledge." ”
"Yes, I did. ”
"Then this is a lesson in grasping the human heart, and I think you will understand. ”
Hearing Thomas's explanation, Cheng was a little helpless, and said, "You can tell me directly, do you think that with words, I can't understand?"
Instead of answering the question, Thomas changed the subject: "Do you know the most regrettable thing in my life?"
Thomas suddenly mentioned this, Makoto was a little surprised, and asked, "What is it?"
"It's because I 'know', because I knew so many things in my life, so when I died, I still didn't achieve anything. ”
"I don't understand?"
Thomas looked at Makoto with a puzzled look on his face and said, "No, you understand it very well, it's just that you never noticed, maybe this is the common problem of people who think they are smart." ”
Seeing that Makoto was at a loss, he continued: "There is also a difference between understanding and understanding, Makoto is very smart, you understand too many things that others don't understand, you can easily grasp any small point, and even guess every clue after that, but because of this cleverness, you think more than you do, but you must know that pure knowledge can't be immediately transformed into energy." Like this time, maybe I said it, but it's hard to apply it to the next time you interact with someone. ”
Cheng said angrily: "Hmph, in addition to this, I have other secrets, can the teacher also guide them." ”
Thomas said, "Is there anything else that matters to me?"
Of course it doesn't matter, the identity of the soul of the different world, or the blessing of death has no effect on Thomas after all, what he wants, I'm afraid he has already gotten it.
It was only then that Makoto understood how disgusting Thomas's ability to play with people's hearts was as he had mentioned.
Makoto left Thomas's room with a dejected face, and the pride of his previous smart man was ravaged to pieces by Thomas's words, which obviously made him unhappy.
Tidlight sneered in his heart, "Fool, I'm right, you're a fool. ”
"Shut up. ”
"Hmph, by the way, I forgot to tell you that Vinitica has already left, don't think that you have a big backer behind you when you do things in the future, so you dare to do whatever you want. ”
"What!"
"Hmph, do you think I can't see it, the reason why you are so confident in any situation, you always seem to be very calm, in fact, it is not because you know that the backer behind you is very powerful. ”
Tidlet's taunt made Makoto feel a little better, and a wrong answer apparently made him recover a lot.
The reason why Cheng easily believes in the village chief Jim, believes in the villagers, and trusts Mas is more because the five little skeletons he saw at the beginning looked innocent, which gave him all the skeletons a very simple idea, which is his confidence.
As for the ethereal Grim Reaper, Makoto will subconsciously ignore it, because whenever he thinks of God, all that comes to his mind is the image of conspiracy and intrigues, and this kind of blasphemous thinking is obviously not a good thing.
He unfolded the map in his hand and looked at it, and sighed, "When will I reach the point where Mr. Thomas can make others give everything they have in almost simple words?"
Tiddelit scoffed, "Fool, you'll never be able to do that with such a thought. ”
"Why?"
"Because Thomas's greed is far less than you think, he just guides you, in fact, his expectations for the result are not as high as you think, as if he didn't know that you mastered the death spell at first, and this time, he probably doesn't know that you are not able to summon a ghost ship, but a ghost ship itself, he has been guiding you, but the result is actually he didn't know it in the first place. So his greed simply doesn't go to the level where you say you want you to give everything. ”
"In other words, if the teacher had understood that I had mastered the Death Pattern from the beginning, I'm afraid it would have taken another means, such as directly catching and reading memories?"
"Of course. ”
Cheng shook her head, and suddenly said curiously: "Tidlet, I suddenly found that you are much smarter than when I first met!
"Die because of the power of Vinitica's blessing!"
