Chapter 540 541. Various news
“Ahaha, every time I talk to you, it makes me feel happy, Lan En. It feels great.”
Slightly stature A short, fat man with a big beard, Socrates suddenly burst into loud laughter, free and joyful.
At this time, he was standing with Lan En, both of them holding wine glasses, but they seemed to be so immersed in the conversation that they both forgot that they had something to drink in their hands.
“Don’t make it sound like I have refuted some of your points, Socrates.”
Lan En's tone was very familiar. Alcibiades, a student of Socrates, was the lead. The two had actually known each other for some time.
“I never debated with you, I was just talking to you.”
“And this is where you are better than other people who call themselves orators. "
Socrates patted Lan En's arm eagerly, his eyes showing the joy of gaining new knowledge.
This look once surprised those who knew him, but when these people saw Lan En standing next to him, the surprise disappeared.
"You never debate with me. No matter how carefully and skillfully I design the topics and traps, you never jump in. You just talk to me. And there is no winner in the conversation. Without a winner, there is no loser. And the winner. You are invincible!"
"Ah, this is another new thought I have discovered from you."
Lan En tilted his head: "You can interpret it however you want, as long as you don't annoy everyone at the reception."
"The knowledge and logic that are unfamiliar to you are here Here." Lan En smiled and tapped his temple.
“But as we said when we first met: I am not a philosopher, I just passively received knowledge and logic training from my hometown, and they have now become a part of my thinking. And I I don’t even have the ability to summarize and refine them again.”
"If you're curious about this stuff, do what you do best - explore my ideas through chatting, questioning, reaching out."
"That's what makes me excited about this time Why can't I sleep?" Socrates said calmly.
"Seriously, do you really not consider living at my house? I can treat this as a job and pay your bills! I really want to talk to you day and night."
If it was Alcibiades who said this, then the words would inevitably have a flavor of ambiguity.
But the person who said this was Socrates, a philosopher who believed that indulging in desire would destroy human intelligence potential, so Lan En's response was very calm.
"But will your performance after receiving money really be the same as your daily performance, Socrates?"
"Oh! Guided questions!" The short, fat philosopher with thick hair said with a smile. sigh.
"It seems that as I explore the knowledge and logic in your thinking, you are also learning from mine. This is awesome! Knowledge is being transferred and grown between the two of us!"
Lan En, who was chatting happily with Socrates, saw Cassandra walking straight over carrying two amphorae out of the corner of his eye.
“There is no need to try this trick with me and Socrates.”
Lan En raised his hand to press Cassandra's hand that wanted to pour wine, and shook his glass at her.
“The two of us hardly drank much.”
“According to what you said.” Kassandra looked at Lan En teasingly, “It seems that I was lucky enough to find it all at once. Two wise men."
Lan smiled at this teasing, which made Cassandra stunned.
At this time, Lan En dragged her to face Socrates. "This is my friend, [Falcone] Kassandra. She is trying to find a woman who escaped from Sparta."
“But she is right there.” Socrates grinned. He could tell at a glance that this woman was from Sparta.
“Good eyesight.” Cassandra came back to her senses, straightened the braids on her shoulders, and admitted her identity, “But what I’m looking for is another one, one who is nearly twenty years old. A woman who escaped from Sparta years ago."
"Do you know how many strangers came to Athens last month, let alone twenty years ago?"
Kassan. Della sighed and said, "No, I don't even know if she's really been here."
Socrates shook his head, biting his lower lip, thinking about something. "If she goes north by land, she will definitely go through Argos."
Kassandra's heart sank. She didn't even know if her mother left on foot. "Argos is huge."
"Yes," Socrates agreed, "but there are also mountains there and there are robbers everywhere. But there is a way through Asclepius Saint The path to the sanctuary. The priests there were famous for providing refuge to the homeless and the needy."
"Ah," Socrates whispered, "but there is another person there. Friend, Dr. Hippocrates, he was trained there. He is not a priest, but he has a photographic memory of details and people's faces."
"If you are looking for a Spar who came from the north. Master. Especially if you are a woman traveling alone, no one will remember it more clearly than him.”
"She wasn't walking alone, she was carrying a seriously injured baby."
"That would be even more impressive, wouldn't it?"
Cassandra nodded and expressed. I remember Socrates’ intelligence support.
At this moment, Lan En suddenly looked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
“Aspasia is here, hey, it seems the banquet is about to reach its climax.”
A woman with healthy wheat-colored skin, delicate and deep facial features and eyebrows was walking out of the door.
She was like a hostess, greeting and greeting each banquet guest. And everyone here who is quite prestigious in the city of Athens will also politely return her greetings.
Cassandra was surprised to find that even Socrates bowed slightly when Aspasia looked over.
Socrates was not a person who would bow to others because of his power and beauty. He was only humble towards wisdom.
This means that he recognized the wisdom of the woman who appeared at the banquet.
Lan En also nodded towards the beautiful woman and received a response.
But he didn't seem to want to stay any longer.
"Aspasia will probably talk to you soon. She is indeed a powerful woman with wisdom and skill. The help she can give you is no less than anyone here."
Lan En handed the pottery cup from which he had only taken a few sips to the passing servant, shook the Athenian robe on his body, turned around and left.
"After talking to her, you can come out to me. Remember to bring weapons and armor, our hunt will be tonight."
