Dorothy put away the potion box with some helplessness and began to talk about the business of coming here today.
"Sister, I want to know about the deeds of the three kings, especially the deeds of the Demon King. The information on the magic network is too messy, so I don't know if you have more reliable information here. Of course, if there is someone who specializes in research
It would be better if you have someone with knowledge in the area.”
The otaku witch said expectantly.
"The deeds of the three kings?"
Upon hearing the eldest lady's request, Senior Sister Dinah thought for a moment, but soon her brows furrowed.
"Miss, we have a lot of books about the deeds of the Three Kings. I can ask someone to write a list of books for you. As for people who specialize in research in this area..."
The intellectual senior sister stretched out her hand to adjust the single-frame glasses on her face, and her tone became a little entangled.
"Yes, this is true, but it's just the character of Senior Sister Fanny..."
Dinah shook her head and changed the subject.
"Miss, you'd better go read the book list and study on your own."
But her behavior made Dorothy a little curious.
"What's wrong with that senior sister? If she just has a bad personality, I think I can tolerate it."
After all, you are asking for help, so your attitude should naturally be lowered, and it is quite common for talented people to have some quirks, so the otaku witch doesn't think there is any problem with this.
If she really couldn't find anyone to consult, she would have no choice but to study on her own, but since there were really people in the True Seeing Eye Society studying this, Dorothy didn't want to waste that time anymore.
Although learning is not difficult for her, people always have things they like to learn and things they don't like to learn.
Her interest in learning is mainly in the theory and application of magic. What she likes is the process of researching and developing new magic spells. She is really not interested in the boring history of witches and celebrity biographies, which seem boring and boring.
, I doze off easily and feel uncomfortable all the time.
She was bald after studying five thousand years of history in her previous life, but the history of the witch world in this life spans more than 100,000 years, and the deeds of the three kings still run through the entire history of witches. Basically, all the major events in the history of witches have the three kings behind them.
In the shadow of the three kings, studying the deeds of the three kings is basically equivalent to studying the history of witches. Even the deeds of the youngest demon king have to be traced back to 20,000 years ago.
This is too difficult.
Therefore, Dorothy felt that as long as the character of Senior Sister Fanny was not too outrageous, she should be able to tolerate it for a while.
Faced with her questioning, Dinah also sighed and spoke again.
"Miss, do you know the curse of knowledge?"
She did not directly talk about the senior sister, but asked such a question.
Dorothy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and was a little speechless.
"Ah, senior sister, you mean those senior sisters Fanny are infected with the curse of knowledge?"
She now understood why the senior Dinah in front of her would rather let her study on her own than introduce her to the senior who specializes in the history of witches.
The Curse of Knowledge, although named as a curse, is actually more like a psychological disease, a troublesome symptom that even a powerful race like the witch finds troublesome.
As mentioned before, the power of witches may be very powerful, and the outstanding individuals among them may have surpassed the limits of those alien races as soon as they were born, but in the realm of the soul, witches are no different from mortals.
Except for a few Long Aotian cheats, most of the lives of powerful witches who stand at the top of the witch world are actually a magnificent story of the growth of the protagonists, filled with blood and tears. They have all been tempered step by step through suffering and setbacks.
The heart of a strong man.
And when some people succeed, others will naturally fail. The glory of successful people is mostly the same, but the reasons for failure are often varied, and the curse of knowledge is one of the most common ones.
The mainstream growth paths of witches today are the two paths of omnipotence and omniscience. Most of the witches who can take the path of omnipotence are the beauties of heaven. There is nothing to say, just win by lying down, but most of the remaining witches are still walking
Although the road to omniscience seems to have a very low threshold at first glance, the risks and difficulties involved are not common to outsiders.
Just like what Dorothy often heard people say in her previous life, you can work hard on other things, but if you don't know math, you just don't know it. This sentence is the same when it comes to magic.
Every year, countless witches who are on the road to omniscience are driven crazy by the obscure magical knowledge. They cry bitterly and shout that I really don’t know this, and then they stay up all night to study without giving up. In the end, they learn more and more.
Crazy.
This is the most common curse of knowledge - the impotent rage of the fool.
Well, that's right, there are many kinds of curses of knowledge. This actually refers to the general term for the mental illness that causes witches to suffer from mental illness due to knowledge. There are also a bunch of detailed symptoms below, just like there are many kinds of cancer.
Among them, the Fool's incompetent rage is already the mildest kind. For such witches who have gone crazy with learning, they are usually thrown into the hospital. They can be saved by asking a spiritual witch doctor to treat them, but other more serious knowledge curses are very troublesome.
.
People's self-awareness is a very magical and idealistic thing. Generally, the formation of self-awareness is often related to many aspects such as growth environment, knowledge level, character, etc., and if it is a little more systematic, it is the so-called self-awareness.
I, ego, superego.
The easier-to-understand explanation is the three parts of instinct, sensibility and rationality. (ps: I made the settings nonsense. If you really study psychology, don’t take it too seriously. I’m just a writer of novels. I don’t understand the professional knowledge.
.)
People often say that knowledge makes people progress, and this is indeed true, especially since witches can more directly transform knowledge into power. The more knowledgeable a witch is, the stronger she will be.
Some people may say that with greater power comes greater responsibility, but this is a bit too idealistic.
The greater the power, the greater the desire. After all, not everyone has the great awareness to sacrifice oneself for others. Most people will definitely not think about doing charity or repaying the motherland after they suddenly become rich.
, but will buy a house and a car as soon as possible to enjoy life.
This difference is the battle between instinct and rationality, with the perceptual part of the human self coordinating between the two.
The same goes for wealth, and so does knowledge. When a witch on the path of omniscience's desire for knowledge exceeds the constraints of her sensibility and reason, the curse of knowledge is born, which will have a huge impact on the witch's mind.
To put it more bluntly, mad scientists, fanatic believers who pursue the truth, terrorists who study taboo black magic, etc. were born.
Most of the crimes in the witch world today originate from this. It goes without saying that once the person who controls the power loses control, it will cause terrible consequences, especially for a powerful existence like a witch that is almost equivalent to a god. Once the person loses control, an evil god will be born.
This is what is really scary about the curse of knowledge. Whether those scumbag students go crazy with their studies is just a small problem. The most terrifying thing is those who are obsessed with studying theology. This is a big problem.
Well, for example, Zhang San, who has studied law all his life, suddenly wants to try out his research results.
Is this scary?
Yes, it's really scary.
And now, Senior Sister Dinah actually said that there was such a patient with the Curse of Knowledge in the True Seeing Eye Club. At this moment, Dorothy almost wanted to rush out of the door and run away.
