Extraordinary Sailing

Even in the tentative short-term confrontation, Aiwen has already clearly felt that the opponent's witchcraft power far exceeds his own, which is an all-round and systematic power.

And the expression is relaxed, obviously far from using all his strength.

Zizizi.

The power of [Blood Plug-in Zekong Dragon] in the body began to surge, and Aiwen's black pupils began to gradually elongate, turning into dragon-like vertical pupils close to crystal color.

Currently, there are two plug-ins used in this innate spell, one is [Storm Dragon], which has been tested in actual combat and can cooperate with [Shenwei], and the other is [Zhoukong Dragon], which can control space power.

Cooperating with master-level swordsmanship, launching [Change Yourself] and [Activate Dead Objects] at the same time is the strongest attack that Aiwen can use. If he still can't win this opponent whose wizard level is almost higher than the old principal Princeton, he has to prepare Sa Yazi ran away.

At least in terms of escape ability, Aiwen, who has almost maxed out his skills, is still somewhat confident.

but.

Jeros, who was standing opposite Aiwen, didn't seem to feel the [Longwei] slowly overflowing from him.

On the contrary, after realizing that Aiwen could actually understand his own theory, he seemed to have met someone of the same kind, and began to introduce his own school's philosophy to him with great interest:

"The 'Ship of Theseus' that can be continuously updated is like this, and so is human beings themselves. Where it is broken, it can be replaced, and it will be stronger than the original one!

Of course, for wizards, the body and everything are trivial, and the completion of the soul is the fundamental.

Uh, but, although the school's original witchcraft has deeply studied this aspect, I am not sensitive to this technique of turning myself into a "soul stitching monster".

When I was promoted to the third level, without telling my teacher, I revised the concept of "replace what is broken" into a new concept of "the relationship between the whole and the part".

How about it? 【Innate Spells · Trait Incarnation】It was born because of this, isn't it great? "

In fact.

Aiwen can not only understand the "dialectical relationship between the whole and the part" in his mouth, but as a chief of the school, he can also deeply foresee the impact of the emergence of such a new concept on the old order.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What about your teacher? Is it so easy to give you the position of head of the school?"

Jeros combed his long hair made of flames indifferently, and smiled:

"My teacher? Ha, it's done.

The chief of the school from ancient times to the present, and the original founder Theseus, is a fool who has poor qualifications and has survived by depriving the soul fragments of the members of the school. "

Aiwen couldn't help but feel a chill in his neck:

"That's as good as you are happy."

It's really eye-opening, the world is full of wonders, and there is such a school of thought that raises livestock. It's just that Theseus, as the founder, played off himself and met this talented and ruthless man.

The "relationship between the whole and the part" is obviously superior to the idea of ​​"replacing what is broken", and it contributes more to the concretization of the final creation.

As a result, Ivan also had a more intuitive impression of the great adventurer Jeros.

'The deep-rooted contempt for authority, disdain for rules and etiquette, and doing as one pleases. Perhaps it was this that deeply attracted the eldest princess who was raised as the heir of the kingdom since she was a child, and who was deeply caught up in various rules?

Oh, let's add... that face that belongs to the handsome uncle. '

Until he finished explaining his ideas, Jeros didn't intend to do anything, but watched Aiwen's "Dragon Eye" and threw an olive branch at him:

"I am indeed collecting the 'Golden Compass' in the hands of the Thirteen Families, but I am also looking for a reliable companion who can go to the New Territory to explore the unknown world together after the door is finally opened.

But qualified companions are really hard to find, even more difficult than collecting 'Golden Compass'. You are different from those guys who have 'Adventurer's Blood' but can't support the wall with mud.

How about, do you want to come to my boat? Even after the "Ship of Theseus" is concretized in the future, one of the immortal places can be assigned to you. "

At this point, Aiwen also figured out what the other party was playing.

The peak strength of the above-mentioned wizards is already enough to break the wrist with the fourth-order transcendent, and the old antique battleship that must have been transformed into a mobile wizard tower, the ordinary third-order great knight may not be able to get into his eyes at all .

Even though Aiwen has never shown witchcraft, his strength as a powerful third-order "dragon vein" is enough for him to pay attention to.

Everyone's energy is limited, and information reception, knowledge level, vision, cognitive ability, etc. are also limited. At this time, even a great wizard cannot recognize Aiwen's job.

In order to show his sincerity, Jeros directly lifted his avatar state and stretched out his hands.

Crash.

Under the light of the morning sun, several golden objects appeared in Rogers' hands. Including the one that originally belonged to him, this great wizard already owned a total of five "Golden Compass".

They are held up by invisible forces to form a five-pointed star shape, and each compass has a part of the "Golden Kingdom" engraved on the back.

At this time, when they leaned together, a vision gradually appeared, and the subtle rays of light seemed to connect with each other and breathe as one.

"This is what we have spent several years collecting, plus the one in your family's hands, and the wild boy's family under the water, well, I don't know if we can find his family under such circumstances.

At least there are clues.

In this way, we have a total of seven compasses in our hands, and the number has already exceeded half. It will take a few years to collect all thirteen compasses and open the gate guarded by the 'Golden Kingdom'. "

Having said that, Gerald paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered something and patted himself on the head:

"Look at my memory, you haven't been to the Golden Kingdom, you probably don't know the secret behind the 'Golden Compass', let me tell you."

At this moment, the antique Calais galley had slowly arrived at the shore where they were standing.

Da da da.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of high heels hitting the deck, a beautiful lady in a thin white dress who was not afraid of the severe cold stepped out of the cabin, boarded the bow deck and looked at the two of them.

With a slight smile, he gracefully performed an impeccable skirt ceremony to Ivan, and invited:

"Sir, please forgive my husband's presumptuousness, we have no malice towards the members of the thirteen families who have deep mysterious connections.

Maybe it would be a great thing to end this involuntary adventurous urge for adventurer families with a small population and difficult continuation.

Why don't you just come on board and we'll sit down and talk about it? Aren't you curious about why family members go to the sea one after another, and the secret of the relationship behind the compass? "

Seeing the lady's appearance, Ivan was slightly shocked:

"You are Her Royal Highness Stephanie!"

When determining the identity of the middle-aged captain, Ivan had already foreseen this scene. But I was still a little surprised to see this princess who left the throne at her fingertips and eloped with the "wild man".

In addition to the beautiful appearance that is very similar to her mother and sister, the flaming and majestic life force field on her body shows that this is a stronger existence than Queen Isabella, who is already over 60 years old. He has almost reached the limit of the senior level, and will soon be close to the peak of the great knight.

Considering that he is less than forty years old, he is indeed a genius of chivalry.

Aiwen was a little hesitant, as a nobleman and general of Phalitis, whether to salute the former princess.

After all, from the moment the obituary of the Phalitis royal family was published, the eldest princess had already died legally. Even if she is actually alive, she is definitely no longer the princess, let alone the first in line to the throne.

"Huh? Fanny, is this one your acquaintance?"

The elegant and beautiful lady couldn't help being slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

"Excuse me."

Having said this, there is naturally no need to hide it anymore. Besides, judging from the attitude of the second princess when reporting the news before, the two sisters should at least have no conflicts.

Snapped--

Aiwen snapped his fingers, "Venom" changed automatically, and the original noble hunting outfit on his body had turned into a straight Major General Phalitis uniform. With black boots on his feet, a gilt command knife hanging from his waist, and a dark blue captain's cloak fluttering in the wind behind him.

Facing the direction of the galley, he gave a military salute neither humble nor overbearing:

"Good day, Your Highness, I am the guardian knight of His Highness the Second Princess Rivina, Rear Admiral Alvin Garriott of the Royal Navy."

Facts have proved that although Stephanie abandoned her responsibility and left the royal family for her own pursuit, her relationship with her family is still good.

The politeness that originally wanted to attract companions immediately became five points more enthusiastic.

After Ivan was invited to board the ship, the lady didn't talk about business first, but poured him a cup of tea with her own hands, and asked about the recent situation of her family.

Aiwen is familiar with Queen Isabella, the second princess Rivina, and Rose Sword Saint Ilvetia, the main family members of the Phalitis royal family, and it is not difficult to answer Stephanie's question.

"...Although the kingdom and even the alliance have experienced many major events, Her Highness Liwena has been promoted to a grand knight before the age of thirty, so she is able to take on this important task."

Of course, highlighting your own role is indispensable: Garriott-type heavy cruiser, Benin naval battle, Dahomey's destruction of the country, Ugol Island, the top-level design of the kingdom's political economy

Hearing that, Stephanie's eyes brightened.

"Really? That's great. The news from the newspaper is only on the surface. I'm relieved to hear you say that they will be fine. Although a poor guy who shirks his responsibility is not qualified to say such a thing, but I still want to ask you to help me protect them!"

As she spoke, she lightly kicked her husband who was sitting on the other side of her.

In this world, except for the existence of demigods and above, even great wizards are far from qualified to despise the monarch of a country. After all, Geros still feels very indebted to his wife who has no hesitation in giving up the throne and following him to the sea.

What's more, it is still a powerful kingdom with comprehensive national strength enough to rank among the top three in the world.

Facing Aiwen, the standard "mother's family" who "plays an important role" in the kingdom's political system, the powerful high-ranking wizard even softened his tone by three points, and told him the information he had in detail:

"The Black Sea, Treasure Sea, and Golden Sea are all just seas in the world map that we have already discovered.

Legend has it that if you pass through the perilous sea of ​​broken stars and the extremely bad storm belt, you can see the incomparably deep ocean, also known as the "Endless Ocean" Phorcus, where even the highest mountain peak can't reach the bottom of the sea when turned upside down.

No one has been able to set foot there yet, but according to my calculations, the territory of that piece of ocean should account for exactly half of the area of ​​this spherical world. We had only just set foot on the storm route, and hadn't gone deep into the storm belt, where it was already determined that only legendary battleships could pass safely.

Our original plan was to collect the remaining compasses, recruit adventurers who are willing to explore the unknown world, and then let the 'Theseus' complete a truly extraordinary qualitative change, and then start this journey."

Among them, there are some that Ivan already knows, and some that I don't know, and they are very detailed. From this, it can be seen that this great wizard is clearly a strict wife.

The next thing is a matter of course.

Ivan, who was about to explore the "Endless Ocean", agreed to join the invitation, but not as a crew member of the "Theseus", but a collaborator.

After being promoted to the third-level high-ranking wizard and hearing the horror of the "endless ocean" in his mouth, Aiwen is ready to start his own shipbuilding plan!

Even in the chat, I saw the eight ships reassembled from decaying materials in the captain's room, and gave Geros some suggestions about the fundamental issue of "The Ship of Theseus".

That is: the materials have been replaced eight times, is the ship under the feet still the original "Ship of Theseus"?

Ivan felt that the opponent's "School of Theseus" was somewhat similar to his revised "Tree of Life".

The cells in the human body will be renewed once in seven years, but no one will feel that they are another person after seven years.

so.

The basis for identifying a thing as itself is not the elements that make up this thing, but the internal structure of this thing—the relationship between elements, and the continuity of time and space of this thing!

There is a "principle of identity" in quantum mechanics, which says that particles of the same kind are essentially indistinguishable. Although the elements that make up the body have been replaced, the particles of the same kind are exactly the same, and there is no difference in nature. Use this hydrogen atom to replace that hydrogen atom in your body, and the nature of your body will not change in any way.

If we smash up a car and turn it into a piece of iron, we can make a metal statue out of that piece of iron. Although its composition has not changed, and it has the continuity of time and space. But its structure has been completely changed, we cannot say that the statue is the original car, they are not identical.

The two buildings have exactly the same structure, but they are still two things, because they are in different positions in space at the same time, without the continuity of time and space.

"Captain Geros, conceptualize the "Ship of Theseus" and strip it of its essence, that is: the specific relationship between the parts with the continuity of time and space! For the School of Theseus, this is the ultimate immortality!"

No matter how long time or power is, this concept cannot be destroyed, just like a true god cannot destroy a mathematical theorem.

Hearing Aiwen's theory, although Jeros, who had been thinking about this issue for a lifetime, did not have a sudden epiphany, he also felt a sense of enlightenment. Before him, there was actually only one school from ancient times to the present, and he had already seen the way forward. .

Before saying goodbye.

Rogers also gave Ivan a piece of advice: "In the future, if you have the opportunity to explore a land that no human has ever set foot on, there may be unexpected gains."

"Explore the unknown? The tide of the great voyage?"
