The next two pages in the book describe how the item was circulated in the hands of superhumans during the Fourth Epoch.
The Quaternary is an era of darkness and turmoil. Dark creatures occupy most of the material world, and cannibal tribes run rampant in the world. The intelligent life races can only assist each other to survive together, which led to races such as humans, elves, dwarves, elves, and dragons. The relationship between them was quite good in the early fifth era, and it directly led to the emergence of multi-racial hybrid creatures .
For example, the Miss Fiona Drago that Shad saw in the ruins of the Gaddis library in the dead valley, she obviously has both human and red dragon blood.
The powerful relic [Source of Chaos] also has many stories in the fourth era, and the "Book of Fools" showed Shad those tragic and terrifying past events. Xia De flipped through it quickly, and realized that these stories written in ancient languages are a kind of strange power in themselves.
But it is a pity that even the writer of "Book of Fools" could not have predicted where the outsiders in the winter of 1853 in the Sixth Era would find this relic in the Fourth Era.
"This book will not abruptly display unnecessary content. It seems that the 'yellow moon' requested by the bard refers to the sage-level relic [Source of Chaos]. Yesterday, Miss Daniste also mentioned over this relic."
Xia De thought in his heart, closed the book, and said to Sir Priscia rather embarrassedly:
"The knowledge given to me in this book is the preparation method of potion-love potion and the learning method of thaumaturgy-[Love Charm]. This very immoral thaumaturgy allows the caster to unconditionally obtain the opposite **** within a certain period of time. Favorable, learning conditions require [breeding] [red moon] [**] [love] and other spiritual runes."
He said some of the contents of the "Pink Book", Sir Priscia did not doubt it, but said with a smile:
"Maybe "Book of Fools" thinks that you are troubled by emotional problems and need this right now."
"Yes Yes."
Xia De gave a helpless half-truth and half-false response:
"Don't mention Margaret."
"Oh, detective, I did not mention His Highness's name."
The smile on Jazz's face became more obvious. Seeing Xia De's embarrassed face, he didn't continue to tease him, but said: "From the information, only a few people can directly get the most useful information from this book." Knowledge. Mr. Hamilton, your wisdom is indeed recognized by this book."
"I don't have any wisdom. I just know more things than most people."
Shad said modestly, Sir Priscia only thought that Shad meant that he knew a lot as a ring magician, and didn't know that it was a metaphor for an outsider.
"Sir Priscia, what did you see just now?"
Xia De pretended to ask curiously, it was a test.
Jazz hesitated for a moment, considering that Xia De took the initiative to share the knowledge he saw, Jazz finally spoke:
"Some secrets about this world, knowledge and wisdom."
What he said was very vague, but these contents seemed to be the conditions required for the ceremony of the chosen one obtained by Luvia's divination. But judging by Sir Priscia's disappointed look just now, the "Book of Fools" should not give him enough knowledge.
"Knowledge and wisdom."
Xia De sighed softly, leading the topic into the direction he wanted to discuss:
"Speaking of which, mortals are really amazing. Relying on the inheritance of knowledge and the spark of wisdom, our civilization can advance to this stage."
Sir Priscia nodded, he didn't mind talking to Shad about his understanding of wisdom and knowledge:
"It's really miraculous. This is a great achievement that belongs to mortals. I think the gods will favor us like ants because they have taken a fancy to the miracles created by our knowledge and wisdom."
"But knowledge always has weight, and we can only bear a little bit."
Shad pinched his fingers and said, Sir Priscia laughed:
"I love knowledge, and I love books. For me, even if the pursuit of knowledge comes at a price, I'm willing to pay the price until I get to a point where I can no longer advance."
"I met an old professor some time ago, and he also used this attitude to pursue knowledge and wisdom."
Shad mentioned Professor Drake again:
"But it's a pity that when he really touched the knowledge and wisdom he longed for, he himself became afraid."
The carriage was turning at the corner of the street, Jazz frowned slightly:
"Sorry, what do you mean scared?"
"He longs for knowledge and wisdom that he doesn't know, but when he really knows what he has got, he is terrified by the truth of the world."
"We live on a peaceful island called Ignorance, surrounded by an endless black sea, and we should not have sailed far. The black tomb is here, and I will sleep here, listening to the wind and waves-this is the What a professor said. In the end he gave away his gifts, his memory, parts of his body, and gave up that knowledge forever."
Xia De has no opinion on Professor Drake's choice. After all, the last time we met, the professor also said that he has no regrets in his life, and when he goes to eternal sleep, he will be extremely stable.
But Sir Priscia had a mocking expression on his face:
"Mr. Hamilton, I don't intend to criticize your friend, nor do I intend to criticize the life that others have chosen for themselves. But that professor is a little too... cowardly?"
He was clearly sitting opposite Xia De, but he seemed to be facing the sea with open arms:
"Even if the world is like a black ocean, we live on a calm island called ignorance, but we still have to go to sea. To explore, to witness, to desire, to seek knowledge. Don't see the unknown scenery with your own eyes, just seek peace Sleep forever, so why do people live?"
Shad understands his point of view:
"The old professor is also afraid because he has learned the danger of extraordinary knowledge. After all, once an accident occurs, the disaster caused by that knowledge and wisdom will also affect other people."
Xia De smiled and said:
"There are many people who have the courage to break through the island of ignorance and explore the dangerous black ocean, but people always have to worry about whether their actions will lead those dangerous and weird monsters living in the black ocean to the peaceful island. .”
For a moment, Shad seemed to see a sarcastic smile on Sir Priscia's face, and he wasn't sure if he was wrong.
[That's right. 】
"Mr. Hamilton, the process of seeking knowledge is always dangerous, but it should not stop you from moving forward."
"So, we've got to get that measure right. The balance, yes, the balance between danger and knowledge."
Shad said, Sir Priscia also nodded, but he had lost interest in talking to Shad.
Xia De could also feel that he was not the same kind of person as the gentleman from the Carson Rik United Kingdom in front of him. They were all brave enough to seek knowledge, but Sir Priscia was probably a little too unscrupulous.
The carriage first sent Shad to Saint Teresa Square, and then drove Sir Priscia away.
Xia De had no other travel plans today, so he read books and checked the accounts for the past year in the study. After all, it was the end of the year, and he had to do a good job in his own financial management to prevent mistakes made by the Kingdom Taxation Bureau during tax inspections.
After lunch, Miya took a nap on the window sill of the study, and Xia De took out the "Book of Fools" to check the information of the sage-level relic [Source of Chaos]. But the sound of a bell came from downstairs, and Xia De got up to open the door.
The napping cat heard the sound of Xia De getting up and going away, so he jumped from the window sill to the ground, jumped onto the chair from the ground, and jumped onto the desk.
"Meow?"
It noticed the book that Xia De had spread out on the desk, so he lowered his head and looked over. On the originally wordless page, large swathes of text and illustrations immediately appeared.
The big amber eyes were full of doubts, and Mia stepped back a few steps so that she could see the whole picture of the page clearly. It stared closely at the things it couldn't understand, and then the book automatically turned to the next page in front of the cat, with dense text and images behind it, the cat continued to stare carefully, nodding slightly, as if it was real. understand the above content.
"doctor?"
It was Dr. Schneider who appeared downstairs at Xia De's house. Seeing Xia De inviting him upstairs, the doctor waved his hand:
"I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving in a while. Last Tuesday, you entrusted me to spy on Lykins Priscia's desires. Today is exactly one week. Let me tell you about the situation."
He talked to Xia De in the hall:
"This is a very strange person, very strange. According to your request, I did not get close to him, let alone dreamed, but just observed from a distance. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for your invitation letter. I participated in this week A lot of high-end banquets... digressed. In short, Rakins Priscia's desire is bigger than anyone else. Not to mention compared with ordinary people, even compared with ring warlocks, His desire is also a little too strong."
Seeing Xia De frowning, the doctor added:
"Don't worry, it's not a bad desire, it's a desire for knowledge. A very crazy desire for knowledge, a desire for new knowledge, and a desire for wisdom. I don't even need to use extraordinary power to feel the intensity of that kind of desire directly with my eyes." .”
He pointed to his eyes:
"I dare say, with such a powerful desire, as long as he doesn't die, he will definitely do great things."
Xia De asked with some concern:
"No matter what kind of desire it is, too strong will never be a good thing, right?"
"But it's not necessarily a bad thing. The key lies in whether Sir Lykins Priscia can control his desires."
The doctor evaluated it cautiously.
