Chapter 20: Seeking Life and Death
Those who are capable but not show off are called humility, while those who are not capable but not show off can only be called guilty. Chen Yan wants to slap them in the face with a pure and fruitful slap in the face, that I am not low-key because I am guilty, but because I am well-educated and humble!
The purpose of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is to eat it in the end. If you keep pretending to be a pig, you must be a pig.
Chen Yan's sword was shining and then put it in the sheath, which made people feel completely different from each other, and the other side was even more stunned. Standing in front of Shen Yan, he felt that his hands and feet were redundant and were inappropriate no matter how they were placed.
Now that we are popularizing compulsory education, we may not have any feelings for scholars. Now it is a swear word to say "your whole family is an intellectual." But in ancient times, having knowledge is really more important than having money. And the more illiterate a person, the more blindly worshiping the knowledgeable person. The failed scholars in ancient times could fool a group of farmers to help him rebel. Moreover, there is a difference between ancient and modern times - don't listen to those people brag about the ancient times, it is so good and awesome - the top scholars who wrote eight-legged essays in ancient times are not as valuable as graduates from a modern comprehensive university.
Why do those who traveled to the Tang and Song dynasties all have a half-selling and half-giving attitude, and throw knowledge out casually?
According to the idea of ordinary people, it would be great to turn all my knowledge beyond the times into commodity monopoly in the whole world! You see, all the money is mine, and the beauty is mine, and the emperor is the best. Isn’t it pleasant to be? However, that is impossible. From a scientific point of view - if I can really travel through the Tang Dynasty, then adding the GDP of the Tang Dynasty and even the whole world together can’t afford the knowledge in the mind of a college student. So what if I don’t give it away? There is no wealth in the world that can exchange this knowledge equivalently.
I have to pay for it before I sell it. That is to use my neck to test whether Li Shimin's knife is sharp or not.
The education situation in this world is not clear, but according to his observation, the words known to the entire fleet of about 200 people may not be as large as theirs, so it is ridiculous to talk about education.
However, what Chen Yan didn't understand was that the real situation in this world was even more serious than he thought.
All the knowledge in this world is in the hands of the state and traditional aristocrats, and civilians cannot contact them at all. Among the sub-ethnics, elves and dwarves control almost all the knowledge. Lizard people have a little bit of it, and knowledge is also strictly prohibited from being out of the way. Those apprentices who follow magicians and alchemists may be the only civilians who can get in touch with knowledge. These apprentices have a very small probability of becoming magicians, but in the future, even if they have no achievements in magic, they can become consultants... no, they are sages.
Then he set foot in the palace and was eventually absorbed into the aristocratic circle. That's it - the spread of knowledge is closed again. Among all these races, the lizard man with the least knowledge is the one who has the most open attitude towards knowledge.
By the way, there are books.
In the world outside the drawing room, there are very few books, among which useless knight novels and lace literature account for more than half of the number. Most of the remaining books still need to be read, because you may not believe it - in the world outside the drawing room, the text that attempts to explain and record rules is actually powerful! The deeper the narrative, the stronger the power! The magic books made by legendary magicians can double their own strength.
Knowledge is power, no longer a slogan.
Because in a world where mysterious power exists, thinking is also a kind of meditation, and people who study rules and magic, and theology are the same type of people. Newton will definitely become a legendary wizard in this world, and maybe he can become the god of classical mechanics; and Einstein is even more amazing. He may become a killer of the gods because he reconnects the rules of separation. Research on mathematics is worse than physics. After all, mathematics is a tool, so legendary caps... This is simply the sacred kingdom of science!
As for those who are engaged in humanities, music, painting and novels, they are still slags in other worlds - even if they change their name to Reslin, it is useless.
Of course, the above are all ultimate fantasies - because the basic rules of the world and the world are different, it is impossible to apply them directly. Moreover, the knowledge copyright in the mapping room does not belong to the United States or the Eagle Kingdom, and that is all the property of the great god Io!
It is precisely because Io erased the power of words that the mapping room became a unique pure theoretical world, and so that such rich theoretical knowledge was born.
It is precisely because the text has no magic power that there is a big difference between the rules in the world of the mapping room and the outside world. The only thing that really understands is Ao himself. This knowledge is all cute building blocks of Ao, and it is the material for him to build the world. If others use this knowledge to pretend (such as Shen Yan), if they try to become a god with this knowledge, they really don’t know how shit is leaked. Ao teaches the most awesome gods in shit in minutes!
Well, after saying so much, Shen Yan didn't say a word afterwards. Not saying anything at this time is more powerful than saying it.
Milton left in disgrace.
On the way, Milton sarcastically repaired the tiger and then asked him to go out to patrol - well, from the point of trashing the blame, he was already a qualified leader. After all the irrelevant people left, only Oma who was silent and the unknown Catherine were left, Milton said to Catherine half complaining, "I'm talking about why the food is distributed more and more properly. It turns out that Shen is helping you... Why didn't you say it earlier?"
As a leader, he certainly doesn't care who eats more and less. But he will care whether anyone is hungry, whether the food is wasted, and whether it is sufficient. In the past, Catherine did a mess in managing logistics! Just because it was the same for another person, everyone pinched their noses and endured it, and spent one day in a hurry. But recently, as the efficiency of food distribution becomes more and more efficient, waste is reduced, and even according to Catherine's opinion, a hunt was organized to supplement meat, and the situation has improved significantly!
Milton was very satisfied with this. After so many things happened, Milton thought Catherine had finally grown up, but he didn't know that it was Shen Yan who helped him behind the scenes. But the key to the problem is not here...
"I want to learn to tell you first, not to take credit for him." Catherine explained embarrassedly - the key to the problem is here. Catherine didn't realize the true value of Shen Yan! She didn't realize how important the things Shen Yan wrote and painted in the notebook! This made Milton and others make such a big mistake!
"Okay, it's not your fault... Catherine, please arrange it and change the car to the middle of the team... Just change them to a good car! Then prepare some delicious food... and send it to Oma! Alas, I will discuss the rest with Oma." However, after sending Catherine away, the two looked at each other, not knowing what to say. There was originally a large piece of gold, but it was almost thrown away as a stone. Although it was not thrown away, the gold was angry and he seemed to be about to explode.
Milton felt this way. If you ask me what to do, I was also very desperate.
"Oma, why don't you..."
"Milton," the Lizard Ranger raised his hand seriously, preventing him from continuing. "I am waiting for you here just to tell you what I thought before... If Chen Yan and the dying man were driven away by you, I will leave with me, this is my decision! And this is not the next time, that's it." After that, Ozmart turned around and left unhappily! He actually thought that I would give up my persistence for the sake of the "big picture" - who gave you the illusion?
My country has rebelled!
"Oma!Oma~! My grass, who am I going to provoke me?!" Milton, who was embarrassed again, felt the pain on his face. He wanted to be a tiger villain stepping on it a hundred times. "Why did I listen to that boy's stupid words..." He actually knew who to blame, but he always had to give himself some face, and then it was okay for the tiger to take the blame. "Damn, I said, why did Xiao Shen always scold the tiger? He really deserves to scold him!"
After a while, Catherine came back with regret. "He refused all of them. He also said that he would not take money without credit... But he said that life-saving grace should be repaid with spring water. He would not leave until he found the spring water. He would teach a few smart children if he had time, but don't bother him during this time on the road."
"Oh." Milton sighed.
It’s Oma’s kindness to save life. I only took care of a few meals at most, and it’s just a dry noodles pancake…
"Oma doesn't tell me what mathematics is."
****
The convoy was not big, and Chen Yan could see Milton's entanglement clearly. He felt a little funny. Milton was not a qualified leader. The qualified leader should not consider how to leave Chen Yan, but consider whether he could control a sage from the sky with his own ability.
In fact, Panni had a question in the morning, and Chen Yan did not answer positively. It was the one that "even if the convoy really settled and grew up, it was just a small town. Will it help our dreams?" The content can be changed to "Is it good for us?"
Of course there are benefits.
Chen Yan discovered something interesting when he was observing. It seemed that Milton was too confident about building a village! This is interesting...
You should know that when Milton made a decision, he had not met Oma yet. Just relying on his subordinates to establish a village-level administrative unit, it was a fool to think about building a village-level administrative unit. Moreover, although Milton was strong, it didn't matter if he could not be a rebel. But Milton was very confident. His performance seemed to be like I could still do it in this matter even if there was no one else. Thinking of the guerrilla brigade they were in before, his main responsibility was to loot all valuable materials in the war zone, Chen Yan seemed to have figured out something.
Milton should have accidentally discovered something amazing during the previous search, and then hid it secretly, neither Catherine nor Tiger knew about it.
This kind of thing should have a much greater effect on children than adults, and the entry threshold is low, making it easy to popularize, and can help Milton establish new forces in a short period of time. This is where Milton's confidence in taking in orphans, building villages and realizing his dreams. This is a magical world, so it should be a formula for some kind of magical items or alchemy potion that can strengthen the physical fitness of children. In addition, Chen Yan could not imagine other possibilities.
As for catching children for evil purposes, haha, it’s not that Chen Yan looks down on them, evil also requires level! How many Dr. (Doctor) can do it? If it’s a demon sacrifice, people like Oma shouldn’t be summoned to join the team with obvious justice camp.
"Chen Yan, Xiao Yanyan?" Panni's call finally brought him back to his senses.
"What's up?"
"...The person next to you has been trying to talk to you. If you ignore her, I look pitiful." Panny was a little speechless. She began to reflect on whether she cut Chen Yan's perception too low? Is Perception 4 a manifestation like this? Someone next to him couldn't hear anything. Catherine lowered her collar and gave him benefits but didn't respond? Is he slow or ED? No, I have to urge him to exercise tomorrow, practice perception first!
Chen Yan had no time to answer when he heard this, so he hurriedly turned his head.
Only then did he realize that the "dead man" turned his body sideways, clamped Chen Yan's arms with his two bare upper arms, and shook them hard to wake him up. Unfortunately, her limbs were all disabled, and the little bit of power she could use was insignificant, and she had to face the desperate mountain of slow perception.
"Stop, stop." Chen Yan quickly patted her and signaled that she knew. You must know that her body is now broken inside and outside, and it hurts to the bone when she moves! Her life is like a candle in the wind. If she shakes like this, her own life will be gone first.
Feeling Chen Yan's slap, she finally stopped, gasping slightly, her face with an abnormal redness. The two empty eye sockets seemed to be staring at Chen Yan, which seemed a little scary under the illumination of the silver moon. She opened her mouth and made an intermittent tearing sound.
"Are you... going to talk to me?" Chen Yan felt sad when he noticed her unusual "spirit", and he felt that she was looking back.
He hurriedly approached his body, pressed his ear against her mouth, and carefully distinguished the words she squeezed out of her throat.
Chapter completed!
