Traveling at the same time, creating the door of truth

"Now let's start the formal class."

Holding a teaching staff in her hand, Medea coughed lightly.

Amon, who was sitting on a chair, held an ordinary notebook and pushed up his monocle curiously. "Teacher Medea, what is the difference between magic and science?"

Amon, now He has begun to learn to change.

Maybe it's because the mystery is destined to wake up, and his future is already doomed.

Maybe it’s because he knows that Adam is his brother and his father at the same time...

Realities about several of my fathers.

Of course, it may also be because He found new joy and began to explore other directions starting from divine life.

"Science, magic, where did you hear that?"

Amon raised the notebook in his hand, and the eyes of Master Bo Shi appeared on the cover of the notebook.

"Obtained from the participants of the Stigma War..."

"Well, let me first tell you what real magic is."

"There are two types of magic, one is rational science, and the other is blind metaphysics."

"Metaphysics?" Amon said to himself curiously: "Mysticism, is it also metaphysics?"

"Not really." Medea shook her head.

"Occultism and mystery are two concepts."

“We need to know a premise.

In the extraordinary world, because of the initial split, every person has the original body, any life, and everything in the world is affected by this power.

Extraordinary characteristics materialize extraordinary concepts, extraordinary characteristics make magic potions, and extraordinary characteristics become sealed objects. These are not real...[mysterious]. "

Mitya held the chalk between her fingers and wrote a series of numerical symbols on the blackboard.

"In the first era, ancient races such as demon wolves, giants, elves, dragons, vampires, etc. were promoted by devouring the corpses of their enemies, that is, the extraordinary characteristics extracted from the corpses. During this period of time, there was no desecration of the stone slab, everything was... a natural evolutionary order.”

"You can think about what will happen when the ancient gods gain wisdom and rationality by expelling their unnecessary extraordinary characteristics, build that tall and magnificent palace, and give birth to the most basic system of slavery."

"What happened?" Amon said, holding his chin.

"Slavery, the ancient gods will find extraordinary characteristics, no...maybe it's not the name."

“Hmm… should a kingdom be established?

Like today's humans, start to rule the world? "

After hearing Amon's answer, Medea nodded.

"Yes, establish a kingdom. When reason exists and wildness is restrained, order will emerge.

Slavery, feudalism, social Darwinism?

In short, after the initial order pattern was born, it began to gradually observe the extraordinary characteristics, record the potion formula for promotion, give birth to the most basic mysticism, and... extraordinary sequences! "

"It may be different from the sequence that was born due to the desecration of the stone slab due to changes, but the essence is the same, the control, research, application, and thinking of extraordinary power."

Through observing, recording, summarizing, and thinking about the manifestations of extraordinary characteristics in nature, we get answers, and finally overturn the answers again and again.

And this use of "occultism" is a kind of science.

"This is the difference between occultism and mystery." Medea said calmly.

“The true mystery, the so-called metaphysics, and even the fabricated laws of heaven are essentially a kind of superstition – no doubt about the statement of facts.

Therefore, to a certain extent, firmly believing in scientific hypotheses and scientific and pseudo-products, without conducting research or thinking, and rigidly drawing inevitable conclusions is also a kind of superstitious metaphysics about authority. "

"Well, let me give you an example. Have you ever heard of an idiom from before the First Era?

——My uncle died after having his head shaved in the first month of the year. "

"Does it mean that having a 'head shave' in the 'first month' will 'kill my uncle'?" Amon held the pen and wrote down this sentence in his notebook.

“No, here, I am using Adam as an example.

One day Adam felt his hair was too long, so he decided to cut it to broaden his horizons. Then the next day, the police from the Kingdom of Loen came to his door, preparing to arrest him.

Adam said, "Although it is said that my uncle will be killed by shaving his head in the first month, I have already asked my uncle. He is in good health and can eat three bowls of rice at a meal. He can also jump and jump. Why are you arresting me?" 】

The police replied [attempted homicide].

Adam remained silent as he was led away for trial.

However, the origin of the death of my uncle by shaving his head during the first month is just a custom, a recognized...fun. "

"This is ridiculous." Amon commented bitterly.

There was no reason, just for fun, so Adam was taken away and committed a case of attempted murder.

"This is one of them." Medea continued to tell the example.

“One day, Adam was walking on the road and because he rubbed shoulders with someone, he angrily said, ‘I curse you to kill your whole family in the future’.

The next day, Adam was taken away by the Luen police. Adam was puzzled and asked why.

The police informed Adam that he intended to kill. Although Adam did not take action now, he was already prepared to kill. "

“One day Adam did nothing.

But the next day, he was taken away by the Loen police and became the murderer of a murder case. The reason was that when the police burned incense and turtle shells for divination, they got the answer that Adam was the murderer. "

"Of course, the Adam here is just an ordinary person, and he lives in an ordinary world. Without extraordinary power, the ability of a diviner does not exist."

Holding the chalk, Medea drew down the definition of mystery and metaphysics.

"Metaphysics is a kind of irrationality that relies entirely on your own thoughts and feelings.

You think there are pigs flying in the sky, so flying pigs were born. As for the reason, there is no reason, just do whatever you want.

If you think this way, this result will appear, and you should firmly believe it. "

"So, what is science?" curious student Amon asked together.

He blinked, very curious.

"Most of the ordinary birds you've seen fly on their wings, right?"

"Yes." Amon nodded.

Most of the ordinary birds he saw relied on their wings to fly. There were occasional exceptions, which were also due to the mystical power generated by the extraordinary characteristics in their bodies.

"Then, when you discover this, you have a question - why do these birds rely on their wings to fly? Can't they fly by other means?"

"You think about it and you feel you need to know the truth about it."

"Then you remove the bird's wings, dissect it, tear it into pieces piece by piece, and through dissection and study again and again, you discover the different organs in its body and know the reason."

"Because... forget it, this example is enough." Mitya drew this series of processes.

"Then you come to the conclusion that birds fly on their wings because..."

"This process is science."

Observe, record, summarize, think, and get answers to questions.

This set of things combined together is the charm of science.

"Occultism, creating potions through the combination of extraordinary properties and auxiliary materials, trying to understand the properties of extraordinary properties, is also science."

After Amon concluded, he expressed his opinion.

"Yes, this is also science." Mitya tapped her finger on the blackboard.

When you delve into the principles of any thing, even in the world of Cthulhu, a world of blindly eating fish, it is also science to conclude which method is more likely to attract the response of Cthulhu and other evil gods of the past. !

Perhaps in Cthulhu's view, this is just the arrangement of ants that attracts his attention, but compared to blind superstition and one thing, this process, conclusion, and overturning and reconstruction of the truth all reflect science. Charm.

“Summarize the natural changes in the world, think about the principles behind them, analyze the causes and consequences of a process, and discuss with other people what the answer to the problem is.

Not only in the occult, it can be seen in all aspects of life.

As large as thinking about the sun, moon and stars, exploring ancient and modern history, and why the universe was born. As small as food, clothing, housing and transportation, ordinary and ordinary plants and trees. "

"I understand." Amon touched his chin and said to himself: "Occult science is based on the observation of natural phenomena such as the spiritual world, extraordinary characteristics, extraordinary concepts, and the star world, and then makes a conclusion."

"Yes, okay, the basic content has been explained, and now the formal class begins."

Taking out the blackboard and erasing it all, Medea glanced at Adam who was sitting next to Amon and looked at him casually "taking a nap". He held the chalk between his fingers and gave him a headshot.

"Class, don't get distracted!"

"Hahahaha." Amon held his stomach and patted his "brother" on the shoulder.

This is really interesting!
