The World of Deities

Su Ye sighed and said half-jokingly: "Fortunately, I have been mentally prepared, otherwise I have hidden my face now. If I expected it to be good, your magic talent should be better than your performance."

"I can be promoted to Bronze a long time ago, but my heart is full of countless doubts. I don't know if my path is right or wrong. I am worried that I will become the same person as the few Miletus mages and finally learn endless knowledge. But I always stay in the sanctuary, unable to witness the legend. I am looking for you, just to understand the inner things of Plato Academy, and to learn the essence of magic." Clemera said.

"If you are asking for the essence of magic, I can't say that you are looking for it wrong. I can only say that I am also searching. At this point, we are like-minded people. Even the legendary masters do not necessarily understand magic. In other words, the magicians have spent thousands of years to pursue the essence, and they may only approach the essence, but cannot reach the essence." Su Yedao.

"I can try it." The girl's eyes brightened again.

"Well, I really like your courage, let's try it together."

The two smiled at each other.

Su Yedao: "With your talent and family background, it is easy to enter Plato Academy to study. I first wish you to become a student of Plato Academy, Crimella sister."

"School girl? I like this name." Crimella laughed happily.

"Since you want to be a student of Plato Academy, then, on behalf of the teachers of Plato Academy, I will ask you a question that every second-year freshman needs to answer. Now put your hand on the magic book and I will ask the question. Later, you have to write down the first thought that comes to your mind. Remember, you must write it within three seconds. If you can’t write it out, I will abort the course.”

"it is good."

"The question is, if Master Plato finds you and orders you to climb Mount Olympus, what will you do? One...two..."

Climella was taken aback, hesitated for a second, and wrote a word on the magic book.

"...Three! Tell me what your first thought was." Su Ye said.

A hesitation flashed in Climella's eyes, and said, "I have a more offensive question in my head. Can I change it?"

"If you are in school, you can change your intentions to hide your true intentions, but there are only you and me. You speak boldly."

"Okay. My first thought at the time was to ask Master Plato why he gave this order?" Klimela stared at Su Ye's eyes.

Su Ye smiled relievedly, and said: "You are a very good child. Asking questions without further inquiry is worthless. So, I personally ask you a question. In addition to the nature of magic that I cannot teach, you still want to What have you learned here?"

Crimella's eyes drooped slightly, and after a while, she raised her head, her eyes were like stars, her skin glowing, and she said, "I want to be ignited."

Su Ye stared at the pink diamond eyes and was silent.

Climella is talking about Socrates' famous saying.

Education is not instilling, but lighting the flame.

Crimella explained: "My former magic teacher, or teachers in all other fields, almost instilled knowledge. They are teachers, they are very kind, they also have profound knowledge, they have rich experience, they Have a strong ability in their own field. However, I can say a harsh truth, they are not educators, not even qualified educators. But I know that Master Socrates is an excellent educator, and Master Plato is an excellent Educators, I also believe that there must be other outstanding educators in Plato Academy."

"Are you really only twelve years old?" Su Ye asked with a smile.

"I am more ignorant than my peers." Crimella smiled slightly, her eyes flashing with unspeakable happiness.

"Yes, we will always feel ignorant, and we will be even more ignorant."

The two smiled at each other.

Su Ye picked up the magic quill that came with the magic blackboard, walked to the blackboard, looked at Climella's eyes, and said, "I can't teach you the nature of magic, and I won't even be a qualified educator. This In the first class, I don’t teach you magic, language, writing, phonetic transcription, or anything that you can learn directly in school, and even no teacher has taught me."

Clemella straightened her body instinctively, her eyes brighter.

Su Ye wrote on the magic blackboard.

"I am a person who likes to think and think, so I have accumulated a lot of questions in my mind. I didn't learn a lot of things until I entered the Plato Academy, but it was not enough. In the first grade, I was very confused. I don’t know how to do it at all. I didn’t suddenly realize a concept until not long ago. I don’t remember whether the similar concept was heard from people in Lion Harbor or read in a book, but this concept, this word What I can share with you in this class is what I think every child should learn from an early age...not knowledge, but a kind of thinking."

Su Ye thought in his heart, Aristotle, I don’t know if you have completed "Metaphysics" and if you have proposed the concept that is passed down to posterity, but in order to calm this enchanting student, you can only use your big killer. Up.

Su Ye pointed at that word with a magic pen.

Climella's eyes widened.

"First principles!"

"So, what is the first principle? Simply put, there is a first principle in every field or system. This principle is a proposition or hypothesis and cannot be deleted or omitted, and cannot be violated. This The first principle is the law of the law, the method of the method, the cognitive cognition, the thinking of thinking. Once you understand the first principle in a certain field and practice it repeatedly, then you are Everything in this realm is like... standing on the roof and pouring water down, venting it down, like a knife splitting the sections of bamboo, unstoppable."

"Of course, this is a narrow interpretation, because it is too absolute, and it is difficult to explain clearly with simple sentences. As we said before, it is difficult to find the essence of magic, and the essence of magic is a kind of first The principle of sex."

"The hard first principles only exist in some truth subjects. Such subjects as philosophy, mathematics, geometry, botany, history, etc."

"For example, in geometry, we can assume an axiom, or call it an axiom of plane geometry, such as'there is one and only one straight line passing two points'. Another explanation of this geometric axiom is that two points determine a straight line. In the field of plane geometry, we cannot overthrow this axiom. This is a first principle in plane geometry. The example I gave you will find it very simple, and you might even think it is like this, even fools. You know, right?" Su Ye asked.

Clemella nodded sincerely.

"You will think this is very simple, or even very useless, but great science and magic are built on these seemingly simple and useless things. Because of this seemingly simple and useless axiom, you can deduce and look at It seems that there are no useful theorems, but these useless and powerful theories together will form a huge force and promote the development of mankind at an incredible speed."

Su Ye hesitated for a while and didn't say anything deeper.

"I don't quite understand, because I have also studied geometry, but I don't understand what axioms, axioms or theorems are." Klimela frowned slightly.

Su Ye thought that although some theories have been proposed, which can be regarded as axioms or theorems, no one has clearly proposed strict definitions of terms such as "axioms" or "theorems." The completion of the birth of Ji Lid.

Now, both Aristotle and Euclid are too young.

The geometry of the current Pythagorean school can only be regarded as a geometric theory, barely regarded as a generalized geometry. Euclid's "Elements of Geometry" is geometry in the true sense.

Su Ye smiled and said: "These are all great knowledge, we will talk about it slowly in the future, but here, it is just an example. Since geometry is difficult to understand, let's change to an easy-to-understand example in magic. "Smile Legend" Master Crete, and his teacher Leu Giber proposed the famous "atomic theory". He believed that everything is composed of an indivisible smallest thing. He could not be sure what it was, but named its smallest thing 'Atom'. We don't care whether this atomism itself is right or wrong, we will find that all the legendary master's understanding, behavior, thinking, etc. of the legendary magic are based on this'atomic theory' and firmly believe in all magic All matter is made up of one kind of atom. And atomism became the foundation of his promotion to legend. Isn't it wrong with this matter?"

Climella nodded and said: "Yes, this matter is right. His old man himself said that his magical achievements are based on atomism."

"So, in his eyes, the essence of magic is'atomism', and atomism is the first principle in the field of magic that he'thinks'. Can you understand this?" Su Ye asked.

"Can understand the surface meaning." Klimela looked at Su Ye with a trace of solemnity and solemnity.

Su Ye continued: "Let me take myself as an example, you will understand better. When I was studying magic, I was always looking for a "first principle of magician fighting". I thought, when I was fighting, I can’t fight indiscriminately. I can’t just fight by instinct. I should find the most basic, essential, strong, and most suitable method for me. Use this method to guide my battles. Try to ensure that this method is suitable for any battle. ."

"I thought about it, this is impossible. Because we will encounter countless possibilities, no one method can be applied to any battle, if we pursue a method that is suitable for all battles, we will definitely encounter accidents." Pull firmly.

However, in the next moment, Climella's face was reddish, and her pink eyes were filled with light water, and she hurriedly said, "Sorry teacher, I shouldn't talk nonsense."

Su Ye complimented: "You are doing a good job! This is the way I like to see it. This is communication and sharing. You have to keep it in the future. And, you are right. My initial thoughts are exactly the same as you. , Because I found that fighting with ice wolves requires a set of methods, but fighting with demon cows requires another method, fighting with a fighter requires a method, and fighting with another fighter of the same rank may have to change another method. So, I thought and thought, and suddenly a question came to my mind, “Why do I have to use this method during battle? Is there any supreme way to help me win outside or before the battle?”
