Chapter 18 Banquet
The Royal Palace is located just north of the Municipal Square, on the central axis, and its architectural style is inherited from the Frost City, also known as Medimus Palace. Peter's carriage stopped in front of the palace gate and was handed over to the palace gate attendant, and the two entered on foot through the side door.
In the hall of the main hall, the food for the banquet was already full. Peter took Ace and other scholars to introduce them, and then began to chat with a bearded scholar. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Ace decided to look around.
There are only a few people in the whole hall wearing black robes, and the others are white robes with red ribbons or white robes with purple ribbons, and they are very conspicuous due to their young age.
He saw a young hook-nosed noble surrounded by several young citizens, chatting lively.
Captain, the hero is really powerful. When our captain waved his hand, it was such a big fireball, which directly burned the barbarian wrestlers who killed so many of us to ashes.
said a little citizen with a baby face, excitedly.
That is the power of a hero. If it weren't for the captain, how could you have the opportunity to participate in the feast as the representatives of the soldiers of the Third Legion? Be sure to behave calmly and decently, and don't lose the captain.
The young nobles surrounded in the middle reprimanded in a low voice.
Yes, yes, captain, when will you be able to use your authority? Give my brothers eyes. Babyface was not afraid of him at all, and said jokingly.
You rascal, Captain, although I don't know power, I know power. I'm a descendant of Frost. If I don't have the right shape, I'll freeze you into a snowman.
The right hand of the young nobleman was crystal clear instantly, and a burst of cold air came.
The baby face suddenly became serious, and lowered its head, not daring to speak.
It seems that the city-state should be a meritorious soldier who conquered the barbarians. Recently, the supply of slaves in the market is sufficient, and Ace has heard a little about the victory of the city-state.
He continued to walk around, casually listening to everyone chatting, but he heard the latest news from many city-states. The joint invasion of murlocs and barbarians, the new king Tedeus Medea wiped them all out in Dunqiu.
Some time ago, Turner Fishing Port, which worshiped the Son of the Sea, received the gift of the sea. A large number of sea fish fell from the sky every day for a week. The states in the northern part of the Salia Peninsula were attacked by demons and suffered heavy losses.
Suddenly, the noisy conversation at the banquet stopped abruptly. It turned out that the royal guards had arrived. Peter waved to Ace, and Ace hurried away. Everyone stood in an orderly manner, with the heroes of the city-state standing in the front row, followed by the nobles, and the others at the back.
His Majesty the King is here, salute!
Heroes bow slightly, nobles bow forward, and everyone else bows at 90°.
After a speech and thanks from the king, the long-awaited project began. The most popular activity of the royal banquet, the exchange of strange objects.
Here, even ordinary people may exchange for a strange item. The so-called strange item is the product of heroes projecting their power onto the utensil intentionally or unintentionally. It may be a sword commonly used by heroes, or it may be a Flowers, except for a few descendants of God of Craftsman who can freely create strange things, ordinary heroes cannot control the appearance of strange things, everything is a miracle.
Peter said happily, Ace had never seen him like this before, his snow-white goatee was up and down, showing how happy its owner was.
This is my collection. I copied a whole room of books for a hero. He liked my beautiful bird characters. Peter opened his left hand.
Ace looked at Peter's left hand, which was a small bronze mirror. Looking at it, Ace felt calm for a moment, seemed to lose his emotions, and his thinking became active at the same time.
Bronze mirror for calm thinking. His original owner, a descendant of the God of Knowledge, focused on thinking about things in front of the mirror. After recovering, he found that the bronze mirror has become a strange thing. It has the ability to calm emotions, think Sensitive and miraculous effects. But you can’t watch it for a long time, and put it away quickly when it has an effect. Ordinary people will have a splitting headache after watching it for a long time.”
Peter quickly put away the bronze mirror in his voluminous robe,
Afraid that Ace would scream with his head in his arms. Ace couldn't help but think of the situation when he overused his mental power, and he also had a splitting headache. What's the relationship between the two? If you have the opportunity, you can borrow the teacher's bronze mirror to experiment.
While the two were talking, a hero had already come to the stage and brought out a strange item.
A sharp wooden sword that can easily cut through steel.
He swung his sword to easily cut off a standard dagger, I want to exchange it for a strange object that can produce protection, or something else of interest.
Afterwards, the heroes came to the stage one by one to introduce the wonders in their hands. With the king as guarantee, everyone was very relieved.
Ace also wants some strange things. Healthy pearls will be immune to most diseases after wearing them, and the body and spirit will be full. Ordinary people will prolong their lifespan if they wear them for a long time.
There are also arrows that must hit, which can be blocked, but cannot be dodged.
All kinds of magical items opened Ace's horizons, but there is nothing to exchange for. Not everyone has the good luck of Mr. Peter.
Throughout the banquet, Ace was just a passer-by. He witnessed the power of the city-state heroes and the magic of strange things, and he firmly believed that he would close the door in Buku Town to build his own manor, laying the foundation for the extraordinary.
Slavery and private ownership of land determine that the owner is the highest point of the manor pyramid. He can freely experiment with the technologies and concepts of his previous life in the manor. As long as he pays all taxes, the manor is his independent kingdom.
At the end of the banquet, the crown prince's attendants found him and gave him a word or two of encouragement. This is a great person, without really reaching their level, even appreciation is separated by a layer.
When he returned, Peter told him: According to the usual practice, the scholars participating in the banquet will gather tomorrow on the second floor of the public library. This is the default academic exchange at the highest level in the city-state. Everyone has to speak on their own academic field. You go back and prepare for it. You can talk about the topic, whether it is the idea of a dictionary or your opinion on medicine. This is your opportunity to integrate into the circle of scholars, and once successful, it will provide great help for your experiments and the promotion of your ideas.”
Ace came home and didn't fall asleep. What are we going to talk about tomorrow? There is no need to consider a dictionary, a reference book, there is nothing to talk about in detail. New medical concepts have not been tested, and it is difficult to be convincing. It is better to wait for a few years to accumulate before taking the initiative. So what are you talking about?
After thinking carefully, Ace wrote down a new coined word - logic, a fusion of the two words thinking and rationality, and it is also the most direct interpretation, rational thinking.
He intends to throw out a bait, to promote his ideas, and to seek approval through time.
A group of like-minded people must be needed to study the path of the transcendent. Only those who exclude a priori and conjecture, can think rationally, and conduct objective and neutral research can meet his requirements and can explore the mysteries of the transcendent together with him.
At this stage, it is necessary to put on the skin of medical research, but it might as well release the core idea in advance. After making up his mind, Ace spread out the parchment and began to write What is logic and its decisive significance in academic research with a quill pen.
