Chapter 74 What a Great Wisdom
Magnus's smile disappeared from his face, his eyebrows furrowed and slightly widened instead of getting angry at Morse's roundabout sarcasm. His mouth reinforced the innocent grievance in him.
“Are you criticizing me?”
The red giant stood under the library’s high ceiling covered with exquisite murals and asked. He glanced at the library aisle helplessly. The thousands of collections of classics in the tall white wooden bookshelves on the left and right sides seem to be able to draw the power of refutation from the wisdom and knowledge of countless predecessors.
“But, you know, the knowledge is there, generously allowing us to use it. There are risks in everything we do, and it is for those of us who are capable to explore and help more people People pass through the treasure house doors we opened safely... Flames can also burn our hands and destroy a house or even a city. Why do we still use flames for cooking, lighting, and forging? ”
Perturabo walked next to Morse, and it seemed that it was his talent to accurately grasp the core of the problem from large paragraphs: "The Emperor does not support the use of psychic powers?"
Magnus bowed his head. He glanced at the ground that was cleaned as clean as a mirror every day, and carefully sat down in the middle of the aisle where no one passed by. His big copper-colored hands straightened the ends of the parchment-colored cloth robe so that he could stand with the two men who were less than half his height. people having normal conversations.
"He talks to me through the ether." Magnus said, as if he had found a breakthrough, leaning forward, his arms slipped out of the cloak and rested on his knees, "This is what my father is doing The master. He taught me how to borrow the power of the original creator. "What did he teach you?" Morse muttered, "Did he teach you to play with fire?"
"Actually, he just taught me how to use fire." said Magnus. "I learned a lot from him."
"Didn't he give you any warnings that sounded like 'psionic recipes that can also be used by insects' or a guide to using ether?" Morse patted Perturabo on the shoulder, "Even if you are like this, A brother will also write a construction safety code for his construction team."
"I pretended not to hear 'even'," said Perturabo.
The color in Magnus's eyes changed to crimson and gray, and he lowered his head, "He sometimes says that I am too confident."
Perturabo remained silent. , recalling Morse’s ironic assessment that the gift he received was large enough to publish a book.
Morse looked at Magnus for a while, his eyes swept over the feathers he was wearing, his expression and tone became gentle, even a little persuasive: "I don't want to accuse you, I just want to listen. Listen to your thoughts - do you think your confidence is turning into arrogance? ”
"Well, I don't think my personality fits the common definition of arrogance in any sense, unless the word arrogance has a different extension in your cultural context."
Magnu Si looked serious and believed in his own words.
“You also traveled outside the material universe and arrived at Prospero in a body of light. We all see the calmness of the vast ocean, right? We are just making a safe attempt.”
< br>Perturabo's fingers resting on the edge of the white wooden bookshelf on the bottom floor knocked on the wooden board unconsciously.
Morse nodded slightly and did not refute: "In my field of vision, I do not guarantee that the vast ocean I see is the same area as what you see. But when I look at it from your perspective, Before I look at your world, I have no reason to deny you.”
"There are not only the upper planes that ordinary people think of, secret passages for high-speed passage of interstellar fleets, and super telegraph machines between astropaths, but they also contain many secrets. And you may really be a unique and amazing genius. , unintentionally invented a method to re-explore the psychic space, right?"
"Not really..." Magnus stroked his fluffy red hair embarrassedly, I almost tore off the crown that held my hair in place, and quickly fixed the crown back in place with both hands. "I'm just doing some theoretical research that others can't do."
Morse shrugged. "Theories are often constantly updated as we observe the universe more deeply. Tens of thousands of years ago, we all agreed that objects would automatically suspend their motion without being driven by force. But now probably no one thinks so - at least they shouldn't."< br>
“Ah, does anyone think that?”
"For example, most of my citizens here in Olympia itself," Perturabo said.
“So, I don’t intend to deny you too early, Magnus. Personally, I even hope that you can prove to me that you are right. After all, one more wise man in the world is often more beneficial to mankind. "
"If you can show me another unusual scenery, after we return to Terra, I will definitely tell the Emperor how great your wisdom is and how you are on the path of psychic energy. What an impressive pioneer he is."
Morse's overly gentle smile forced Perturabo to try his best to maintain his calm expression, but Magnus didn't notice anything wrong. , leading Perturabo to guess that Magnus had never been deceived.
Or maybe you have never found out that you have been deceived.
"Oh, oh..." Magnus's cheeks flushed with surprise, "Then how can I prove it?"
"Wait until I make some preparations." Morse retracted his smile and said calmly, " I need you to lead me into the vast ocean. As I said before, I want to see the warp from your perspective."
"Okay," said Magnus. "Me too. I can tell you about my new discoveries! I have never dared to bring the Prospero people in with me. The vast ocean is still too stressful for their bodies... Every time I have a new research target, I Find a way to turn it into a problem that everyone can participate in!"
He paused, holding back his excitement, "What do you need to prepare?"
"Some personal things? ritual," Morse said. "I will wait for you outside Tizca City later. You will see my beacon."
Magnus nodded vigorously and looked at Perturabo: "Then let me introduce my collection to you first? For example, the mechanical bird I made a few days ago."
"This is also me "Perturabo said, "In terms of craftsmanship, I don't want the only person I can communicate with in the future to be Morse."
Morse laughed. Magnus patted his robe and prepared to stand up.
While Magnus was busy getting up without knocking anything over, Perturabo mouthed to Morse: "Let's not go too far."
< br>"Now it's time for you to talk to your fourth brother, Magnus, who is full of deep brotherly love."
Morse said with an easy smile, nodding towards the boy-sized Perturabo, who was stooping like a classical orator.
"I will leave the venue for the time being and go backstage."
