The World of Deities
Chapter 369: Reality and Truth
Euclid solemnly said: "What do you mean by not using is too wasteful? It is an insult to geometry! Geometry is a great philosophy and the foundation of magic. Even if it is not used, even if it is merely conceived in the mind, it has irreplaceable meaning and value. Practical? It’s an insult to geometry. We can only explore deeper truths if we get rid of the narrow thinking of “pragmatism”! If we are based on practical and sensory judgments, we will inevitably be bound by the so-called practicality in front of us, like walking in the dark. We need a beacon of truth to guide our sight! The logic should be rearranged."
Su Ye was helpless. This was a kind of extraordinary thinking of ancient Greek philosophers. They believed that the real world that the eyes can see is not important, and the truth that the mind touches is more important.
In their view, everything in reality is a trick, and it is not enough. Only the truth world of ideas and theories is eternal.
In the eyes of those masters, the present reality cannot change the truths of ideals and theories, but truth can easily determine reality.
In the eyes of Greek philosophers, geometry has nothing to do with mathematics. Even the Pythagorean school of thought that "all things are number" regarded mathematics as a part of philosophy.
Philosophers and magicians only see magic and philosophy. The others are branches of philosophy and magic, so you don't need to care too much.
The value of this kind of thinking is counter-intuitive and counter-experience, and it feels very wrong, but Su Ye knows that this is one of the important reasons for human transcendence.
"Teacher, what you said is too right. Don’t go against the correct logic. You should use truth to dominate common sense, not common sense. Truth can explain everything, but common sense is only an example of truth. It can never replace or equal truth. For example, geometry is Truth is the great use of uselessness!" Su Yedao.
Euclid's eyes lit up, his smile resumed, and he nodded: "Okay, very good! I really like this saying that it's useless! I am also an excellent member."
After speaking, Euclid carefully wrote down on the magic book.
Su Ye coughed lightly and said, "I mean, you can do some brain-training games in your spare time, such as designing a beautiful toothbrush that conforms to geometry to let others know the beauty of geometry. At the same time, Some funds can also be obtained for continuing to study geometry, forming a virtuous circle."
Euclid pondered for a few seconds, and said: "I don't care if others can understand the beauty of geometry, but if it only takes a small amount of time, I can continue to study geometry, I am willing to do it. However, I will give the best Plan, and then go to Archimedes, he likes to do this kind of thing. Humph!"
Euclid made no secret of his dissatisfaction with Archimedes.
Su Ye was about to speak, and Euclid continued: "Don't make the same mistakes as Archimedes. He is overly seeking to analyze the real world in front of him, and then pursue the truth backwards. This method is not wrong, but may mislead us. Of course, Archimedes knew very well that he was only pursuing the truth, and everything in the real world was nothing but a means. However, others might not be able to distinguish this order. Most people just think that Archimedes discovered technology through reality. Discovering truth from technology and reality is Archimedes’ thinking of pursuing truth. His attention to reality is only a means, not an ultimate goal."
"Teacher, you are right, I must have this kind of positive logical thinking." Su Yedao.
"Positive sequence logic? Good." Euclid took it down again.
Other warriors only feel pain in their foreheads. Is this the daily life of a magician?Can a mouthwash and a face wash extend such a profound truth?
Only Castor and Comodes listened and thought carefully.
Although I don't understand.
Not long after, two Spartan soldiers carried back to the black barrel.
Su Ye saw that it was barley porridge, mixed with some other coarse grains and a bit of bacon, and light green olive oil floating on it.
Several Spartans frowned slightly. Although they hadn't eaten this barley porridge before, this porridge was too thin to sustain a high-intensity battle.
"This is too little food. Everyone eats the food I store, but try to save as much as possible. After all, I don't have much." Su Ye said, taking out some meat, including ham, bacon, and fish.
The soldiers' eyes lit up, and they each took enough meat to eat.
After eating, Su Ye and others walked out of the blocking courtyard and looked around.
There are makeshift tents everywhere in the open space, and some are magic earthen houses built by golden magicians using magic, which can last for more than ten days.
Compared with the Spartan warriors, most warriors have old armor, and their skin color is not so healthy. They have no look in their eyes, but they are not desperate. They just seem to look away from everything in front of them and become indifferent.
The entire fortress is in a mess. Some people are still drinking porridge snoringly, some are slowly cutting their own dried meat, some are beginning to practice combat skills, some are sitting quietly, and some are young The people were excited, talking about the upcoming battle.
The older soldiers looked at the young soldiers with complicated eyes.
Everything seems to repeat itself.
Not long after, a messenger came over and respectfully handed Su Ye a wax board and a bronze dagger.
After Su Ye thanked him, he took the wax board to read.
It turned out that this was an appointment order issued by the legendary warrior coalition commander General Mitaiyade himself, allowing Su Ye to lead the Spartans to act on the spot without violating the higher-level military order.Afterwards, various codes, military sequences, and command lists were added.
Su Ye collected the wax boards and waited quietly.
I saw many messengers traveling around, constantly issuing orders, and orderly in chaos.
Around eight o'clock in the morning, the fortress was illuminated by the sun.
The fortress room was still dark, the ground was still muddy, and the soldiers were still covered in dirt.
However, the world seems to have a little more life.
Su Ye led thirty Spartans and Euclid out of the northern gate.
The morning sun dissolves the mist in the distance, the salty sea breeze slowly blows from the east, and the distant sky is blue.
On the edge of the azure blue, the Persian camp is like a black demon cow crawling on the coast.
Lines of neat or messy Persian soldiers are slowly walking out of the camp, looking from a distance, like a piece of dark field moving.
Su Ye blinked and saw flying snakes leisurely flying in the Persian camp. Those flying snakes had four black wings and were red all over. When they breathed, thin flames emerged from their noses.
Each flying snake is seven or eight meters long and has a waist thickness.
Those flying snakes with blood of angry snakes and fire dragons formed the ace army angry snake army.
In the camp, many Persian magicians are meditating, and a magic lamp is suspended in the air, devouring magic power.
Su Ye carefully looked at the teams that kept pouring out of the Persian camp.
Exactly as stated in the book, a large number of soldiers seemed to have just walked out of the farmland, with yellow and thin faces, muddy and dusty legs and feet, wearing ragged clothes and holding rough spears.
Some spears are not even polished, with thin wooden thorns standing on them.
I thought they would all be listless, but unexpectedly, each of them had a fierce light in their eyes, and even slights of contempt.
Su Ye was thoughtful. Perhaps Persia had occupied Euboea. These soldiers were still immersed in past victories and did not put the Greeks in their eyes. At the same time, they must have been inspired. As long as they occupy Greece, they will definitely be rewarded. Pay.
When a large number of light infantry came out, a group of brightly armored soldiers walked out.
These new soldiers are neatly equipped, mostly wearing high-quality leather armor, with shields and spears, a few even like the Spartans, with shiny spears behind their backs, and the reflective spearheads are like the stars in the day.
A few of them even wore metal armor with better protection.
These are the main force and regular army of Persia, directly under the king of Persia, commonly known as the king's army.
After the King’s Army, a group of soldiers wearing dark red armor walked out like human-shaped cans, and each human-shaped can’s left chest was engraved with a bright red scimitar logo.
These undead army steps forward uniformly, like puppets.
Su Ye regained his consciousness and looked at the soldiers on the Greek side.
The warriors on the Greek side consisted of people from multiple city-states, and they could be considered colorful. However, all Greek warriors, even the most sloppy and poorest-looking warriors, also wore old leather armor.
Most warriors have metal armor, or metal breastplate, or metal arm armor. This is in sharp contrast to the Persian army on the opposite side.
Greek warriors do not have many yellow-faced and thin people. Most of them have well-proportioned bodies, and their average height is obviously higher than that of Persians.
After a simple verification, Su Ye led people into the Chinese Army, while Euclid separated from the others.
Su Ye was standing in place, observing the situation of the Chinese army while discussing with the experienced soldiers in the team.
Comodes and Castor said nothing, their battlefield experience is not as good as those of ordinary Spartan soldiers.
Soon, the commander of the Chinese army, senior general LaMarcus’s herald, found Su Ye and gave some suggestions, hoping that this Spartan team could help hold the Chinese army, and only allowed to leave the Chinese army during the pursuit. Go to the flank.
"Obviously, this General LaMarcus can't look down on our team." Castor curled his lips.
"We don't care about the attitude of others, we only need ourselves." Su Yedao.
"Should we contact those golden mages?" Comodores said.
Su Ye followed Comodes' gaze and looked at the place where Euclid was. He saw more than a dozen golden mages and Euclid together, chatting and laughing.
Those golden wizards are all over forty years old, and there are even old wizards with white hair and beard, and they are kind to Euclid.
"No, Euclid will help us in secret. Now if we get too close to Euclid, we will be noticed by those who care. Next, we will mainly protect me, and I will mainly use traps to delay the Persians." Su Yedao .
Time passed slowly.
Among the Persian army, the horse-riding messenger kept giving orders, and the ranks of the king's army and the undead army gradually became orderly.
At the same time, generals on the left, center and right of Greece began to use magic beards to speak.
Both sides lined up.
