book of old days

Chapter 168 Ulysses' Invitation

It's quite scary when you think about it. The only good thing is that the god-locking urn still has the effect on the things inside, although it is really just an ordinary metal bottle.

From this point of view, becoming a believer in God has a fatal weakness.

No matter how powerful the power of belief in God is, it will also be affected by the source of the power of faith. If your believer 1 thinks you are afraid of this bottle, then you are really afraid of this bottle.

Although it was not clearly stated in the book, Sean could guess it.

The spirit seance must have really fought against these mysterious beings, and used these urns to seal them one by one.

I just don't know if this organization is still there.

He quickly flipped to the last chapter of the book, which stated that the Seance had been disbanded more than 200 years ago.

Forget it, right after the Nord Conquest Wars.

He sighed, and felt a little headache again. He found out the origin of the bottle, but he was still a little uncertain about what was inside, so he had to put it away for now.

He nodded at the old man, "Thank you, this book has helped me a lot."

"You're welcome, so you did get a Gushen Urn, right?"

Sean didn't hide it this time.

"That's right, I did get one by accident. I bought it from an antique dealer for five gold pounds. At first I wondered what was in it. Should I open it and have a look, but now I finally understand."

"Although the inside is empty, such things are still of great research value. Are you interested in making a move?"

"Sorry, I'm not short of money."

"Okay," the old man shook his head regretfully.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ulysses Evantus, a researcher of occultism, and currently a professor of folklore at the University of Sword Castle. If you are interested in making a move in the future, you can find me at the University of Sword Castle. .”

Sean immediately realized when he heard the name, isn't this the author who wrote "Nord Mythology"?

Moreover, this person turned out to be a professor of folklore at the University of Sword Castle.

"Professor Ulysses? I have read your work, the "Nord Mythology Test", which has benefited me a lot. Speaking of which, we are still colleagues, Sean Forrest, University of Swordsburg Literature Department professor."

"Ah, you're Sean. I've heard your name before. I'm impressed by your book Thirty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. A lot of people write technology novels, but what they write is not so much technology. It is too exaggerated and groundless to say it is magic, I can see from your book that you are a very scientific person, I did not expect you to join the Society of Rationality."

"Since you have read the Nord mythology test, you must be interested in mysticism."

Xiao Enlian said: "Well, I just watch it occasionally, and I'm not particularly keen..."

"There is no need to be so cautious young people. Those who can enter here are their own people. For those of us who are rational enough, there is no need to cover up the taboo knowledge of ordinary people. Those ancient mysterious rituals, witchcraft Magic, being able to spread widely around the world, naturally has its magical features, and it is normal to be interested in it.

In fact, a few friends and I organized a small club for the study of occultism, and occasionally held parties to exchange knowledge in this area, and there was nothing to worry about. "

Xiao En smiled awkwardly, and was a little speechless. The Rational Society understands things like feelings internally, but how deep does it understand?

"Why is it taboo for ordinary people?"

"Of course, ordinary people are too easy to be agitated. They are ignorant and blind, full of fear of the unknown. For thousands of years, how many evil people have used myths, religions, and beliefs to manipulate people's hearts and do many evil things. We must avoid The recurrence of the tragedy can only isolate the dangerous knowledge of these occultism from ordinary people.

The rulers since ancient times always like to rule the world with violence and superstition. This is not an accident, but the inevitable product of the combination of humanity and extraordinary power. "

Xiao En couldn't help but feel a little disapproving after hearing this, "Even if there is no superstition, doesn't rule have to be evil?"

Take Brighton as an example, the living standards of civilians living in this era may not be as good as in the old era.

The old man smiled, "The game of civilization is like this. One group of people dominates another group of people, and one group of people exploits another group of people. The details may be different, but the process is similar. The difference is that in a rational world, the oppressed can Aware of the mistakes, and in a world ruled by mysterious forces, people will attribute all the misfortunes they encounter to the illusory gods, and pin their hopes on illusory things.

"But those of us who are rational enough are different. Although I think that human beings should not pursue that power too much, the reason why supernatural powers are considered supernatural is precisely because they are beyond common sense and cannot be interpreted by reason. Power is difficult to control, and such power is doomed not to be a help to human beings, but can only bring destruction and disaster.

But to avoid this disaster, a certain understanding is very necessary. If you can use this power in absolute safety, it is not impossible. I made suggestions in this regard several times at the annual meeting of the Society of Rationality , Unfortunately, not too many people understand.

Are you interested in this power young man?If you're really interested, maybe we can do research together, just as an academic research of course. "

Sean resolutely refused, "No, no, I'm just curious, because writing a book requires some relevant knowledge, and I don't intend to learn more about it."

Are you kidding me, I have the book of the old days in my hand, extraordinary power is at my fingertips, so why not get together with you two knives?

Besides, the water of the Rational Society is too deep, so we should not participate in it.

Back in the valley in the afternoon, Sean summoned three dwarfs from the tree hole.

"You guys will be called NO.11, NO.12, NO.13 from now on."

Sean didn't let them inherit the names of the three dwarfs who died before, mainly because he was afraid of misremembering.

Strange to say, the dwarf goblins summoned in the past were often very nervous when facing him, a strange summoner, and even got out of the tree hole after calling for a long time, but the three dwarf goblins summoned this time As soon as he appeared, he immediately showed a look of respect and admiration to Sean, without any fear at all.

Xiao En understood what was going on after thinking about it for a while. This is probably also the influence of the power of faith. He became the "protector of dwarf goblins", and there is a high probability that he has a constant "dwarf goblin affinity +10" 'A kind of BUFF.

Well, at least it's much more convenient to command in this way.

"Come on guys, it's time for us to go home."

He took the three gnomes back to the castle, housed them, and fed them another meal of acorn bread.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, at night Sean was lying on the bed, ready to dream.
