Chapter 866 848. Understanding of God
"You want to say that now everyone is interested in the group of 'Demon Hunters' because of me, and they have studied it in depth, not wanting to let go of any hint. So. Your concern for witchers is normal and common, and there is no reason to be suspicious, right?"
Under Lan En's calm question, Vilgefortz also answered calmly.
“Of course, I have to admit it. I was already interested in the witcher before these things happened. But that was not because of anything else, but because: the witcher is the most important person in the world at present. The law of accident has entangled the most and most common group of people.”
“Who can’t be interested in the elusive fate?”
Lan En interjected: "Especially for an Archmage like you, who has already stood at the top of the wizards, is it even more attractive?"
"Otherwise, what else could it be? What else could seduce you?" What about my desire?"
Wilgefortz said matter-of-factly.
“I read your thesis when I came to Arethusa, Sir. I also had a comprehensive understanding of the crystal cultivation project you took over from Tisaya. I have to say that some of the The sharpness of her thinking amazes me.”
“Under her leadership, although news occasionally came out, it was still regarded as a joke by everyone. But after you took over, the project progressed by leaps and bounds. It has begun to become practical, and now it is even making money every day.”
"So unlike those mediocre people, I know very well that I am facing a wise man with rich knowledge reserves, clear logic, and quick thinking. Rather than a fierce and cruel man who just waits to kill a few people every day to refresh himself, in addition to showing off his strength and venting He seems to have no other pursuits in his life."
"So I think you should understand my desire for knowledge."
Lan En nodded lightly.
"Understanding is understanding, but I do not support the temptation of the law of accident. Some things in this world are obscure, but it is a protection for those who seek knowledge."
"Like a cabbage Trying to explore the causes and effects of its existence, the result of thinking is called the "eternal and mysterious conflict between the head and the roots", and the rain is regarded as an unpredictable high-latitude induced force. "
"You compare me to a cabbage?" Wilgefortz was not angry, but became curious. "So in your opinion, what is the so-called 'rain falling from high altitude'?"
Lan En looked at the oil painting in front of him. Tishaya's face didn't look much different from now. , but at that time, her eyes were still as smart as a deer.
The witcher just shook his head, then turned and left.
"You are lying, Vilgefortz, I can feel it. You are hiding something from me. Your interest in the witcher is not because of the law of accident, but for some other reason."
“That’s okay, after all, everyone has things they don’t want to say. But in return, I won’t satisfy your curiosity.”
Lan En can sense other people's emotions from the smallest details, which is a talent of being the Emperor's son.
The Emperor's Children often use this gift to inspire people and gain insight into the direction of the battlefield.
Wilgefortz's slightly disordered breathing when he first saw him meant that he couldn't hide too deeply in front of Lan En.
He said that he became interested in demon hunters because of his exploration of the ‘Law of Accident’.
But in Lan En's view, what this guy desires is not a certain type of knowledge, but something more specific.
An object, or. a person.
He is indeed, as Margarita said, a dangerous person who is ambitious and good at hiding himself. Such people often have clear goals.
Even if they pursue something ethereal, such as the law of accident, they will definitely seize a practical and concrete road to move forward.
But it's a pity.
As he said himself: he mistakenly mistook the reflection in the lake for the sky full of stars.
This ambition for knowledge and power is so obvious, but he does not realize the truth of the world.
Wilgefortz is too young.
Lan En, who was walking away, shook his head and thought of Tissaya in the oil painting again.
Lane said that Wilgefortz was young, but of course he was not speaking from his own perspective. After all, the witcher was only in his early twenties.
This ‘young’ refers to the history of wizards. Young wizards think that they have understood the laws of nature, believe that they are the only ones who use reason and logic to move forward on the path of supernatural power, and refute everything except themselves.
But in the eyes of a veteran wizard like Tissaya, who has lived for nearly five hundred years, or even a spell caster with a longer history?
Tissaya once wrote some papers in his early years to explore how the clergy's spellcasting ability came from.
After all, in Melitelli's temple, in the hands of Cliff's priests, and in Freya's hall, the clergy do not need to learn theoretical knowledge, nor do they need to recite incantations.
The spellcasting method they used was completely incomprehensible to the warlocks. They just prayed, and then the spell appeared.
In his early years, Tissaya had vaguely put forward some ideas in his paper, namely, "the true existence of gods." And after Lan En had long-term contact with the Lady in the Lake, Tissaya had confirmed her original thesis.
But among the younger generation of warlocks, these sensual and self-respecting spell casters no longer have this sense of inquiry at all.
According to Geralt, his sweetheart who sounded very strong, Yennefer of Vengerberg, once wanted him to spend the night together in a certain temple.
Make sex in front of the statue!
The attitude of the younger generation of warlocks towards the gods is evident.
They only thought that the sacrifices in the temple were similar to the witch doctors and goddesses in the countryside, relying on the power of imagination to try their luck to induce the magic of chaos.
And blindly pursuing a higher level of power and knowledge without considering or even knowing the existence of gods. Lan En is not optimistic about this move.
Wilgefortz listened to the footsteps slowly walking away, and then turned his gaze from the oil painting in front of him to Lan En's back disappearing into the shadows.
His expression did not show any disappointment or anger at being rejected, it was just meaningful.
"No, he hasn't seen through me yet, Lydia."
Suddenly he turned around and said something without any end, and in the direction where he turned his head, a woman with an abnormally stiff face came out.
She seems to be unable to speak, so she only uses telepathy to communicate with Vilgefortz.
“He only noticed that I lied, but he had no way of knowing my exact target.”
He was talking to himself without any end, but Lydia was next to him. But he frowned.
"Such a person is scary, right? As soon as we meet and say a word, you know that I lied. Tsk, how many years have I not been seen so clearly?"
Vilgefortz said indifferently, and at the same time turned his face to the oil painting on the Glorious Corridor.
The low voice seemed to be muttering to himself.
"But I can be sure that as long as we still want to get the ancient blood, we will definitely face each other. He has a close relationship with Geralt."
"Well, yes Ah. You are right, Lydia. Not only is he terrifyingly sharp, but he also has the magic of Aretuza. The level makes me feel amazing. Each of them is as good as two Philippa Earharts. But before this meeting, I always felt that Philippa was more difficult than the two of them combined. ”
"Because they lack ambition, decisiveness, and persistence, it is not difficult to deal with them even if they are powerful. But coupled with this demon hunter, he seems to think that he has a deeper understanding of the world than I do, which makes it even more interesting. "
Wilgefortz pondered, and then smiled with interest.
“It seems that it will be very difficult to accomplish my goal as long as this demon hunter is still there.”
The youngest member of the Wizarding Council in history chuckled, as if pinching Playing with his steel staff like a straw, he led his female assistant gradually into the darkness of the corridor.
But no matter how things in this world ferment, Lan En has already entered a new world riding a unicorn.
