House Witch

102 Chapter 101. The Curse of Knowledge

Dorothy put away the potion box helplessly, and began to talk about the business of coming here today.

"Senior sister, I want to know about the deeds of the three kings, especially the deeds of the devil. The information on the Monet is too messy, so I don't know if you have any reliable information here. Of course, if there is a special research It’s even better if you’re knowledgeable.”

The house witch said with a look of expectation.

"The story of the Three Kings?"

Hearing Missy's request, Senior Dinah thought for a moment, but soon frowned.

"Miss, we have a lot of books about the deeds of the Three Kings. I can ask someone to write you a book list. As for the people who specialize in research in this area."

The intellectual senior reached out to help the single-rim glasses on her face, and her tone became a little tangled.

"Yes, there is, but it's the character of Senior Sister Fanny."

Dinah shook her head and changed the topic.

"Miss, you should read the book list and study by yourself."

It's just that her appearance made Dorothy a little curious.

"What's wrong with that senior sister? It's just that if she has a bad personality, I think I can bear it."

After all, she is asking for help, so her attitude is naturally lowered, and it is not uncommon for talented people to have eccentricities, and the house witch doesn't think there is any problem.

If she really can't find anyone to consult, she can only study by herself, but since someone in the Eye of True Sight Society really studies this, then Dorothy doesn't bother to waste that time.

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 spells. She is really not interested in the boring history of witches and biographies of famous people. Those things look boring. , easy to doze off, always uncomfortable.

In her previous life, she was bald with a history of 5,000 years, but in this life, the history of the witch world is more than 100,000 years old, and the deeds of the three kings still run through the entire history of the witch. Basically, there are three kings behind all the major events in the history of the witch. Studying the deeds of the Three Kings is basically equivalent to studying the history of witches. Even the deeds of the youngest demon king can be traced back to 20,000 years ago.

This is too difficult.

Therefore, Dorothy felt that as long as that senior Fanny's character was not too outrageous, she should be able to bear it.

Facing her questioning, Dinah sighed and spoke again.

"Miss, do you know the curse of knowledge?"

She didn't directly say anything about that senior, but asked such a question.

Dorothy was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, she was also a little speechless.

"Ah, senpai, do you mean that those Fanny senpai are infected with the curse of knowledge?"

She now understands why the senior Dinah in front of her would rather let her learn by herself than introduce her to the senior who specializes in the history of witches.

The curse of knowledge, although it is called a curse, is actually more like a mental illness, a troublesome symptom that even a powerful race as powerful as a witch finds it very troublesome.

As I said before, the power of witches may be very powerful, and perhaps the outstanding individuals among them have surpassed the limits of those different races since they were born, but in the realm of the soul, witches are no different from ordinary people.

Except for a few dragons, the lives of most of the powerful witches who stand at the top of the witch world are actually a magnificent history of the protagonist's growth, full of blood and tears. The heart of the strong.

And if someone succeeds, there will naturally be someone who overturned. The glory of the successful people is mostly the same, but the reasons for the overturned people are often varied. The curse of knowledge is one of the most common ones.

The current mainstream growth path for witches is omnipotent and omniscient. Most of the ones who can walk on the path of omnipotence are heavenly girls. There is nothing to say, just lie down and win, but most of the remaining witches are walking Although the road to omniscience seems to have a low threshold at first glance, the risks and difficulties involved are not humane.

It's like what Dorothy often heard people sigh in her previous life. You can work hard on other things, but if you don't know mathematics, you just can't. This sentence is the same when it comes to magic.

I don't know how many witches on the road to omniscience every year are driven crazy by the obscure magic knowledge. They cried bitterly and shouted that I really don't know how to do this, and then stayed up all night to learn without admitting defeat, and finally learned 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, which actually refers to the general term for witches to suffer from mental illness because of knowledge. There are also a bunch of subdivided symptoms below, just like there are many kinds of cancer.

Among them, the incompetent rage of the fool is already the mildest kind. For this kind of witches who have gone crazy, they are generally thrown into the hospital. It can be saved by asking the witch doctor of the psychiatric department to treat and enlighten them, but other more serious knowledge curses are very troublesome. up.

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, and so on. I, ego, superego.

It is easier to understand the three parts of instinct, sensibility and rationality. (ps: It’s all my nonsense about the settings. If you really study psychology, don’t be serious. I’m just a novel writer, so I don’t know the professional knowledge.)

People often say that knowledge makes people progress, and this is indeed true, especially after witches can more directly transform knowledge into power, the more knowledgeable witches are, the stronger they will be.

Some people would say that with great power comes great responsibility, which is a bit too idealistic.

The greater the power, the stronger the desire is. After all, not everyone has the great awareness of self-sacrifice and self-sacrifice. Most people will not think about doing charity and repaying the motherland after they suddenly become rich. , but will go to the first time to buy a house and a car to enjoy life.

Such a difference is the contest between instinct and rationality, and the perceptual part of human beings is coordinated between the two.

This is true of wealth, and so is knowledge. When a witch on the path of omniscience's thirst for knowledge exceeds her sensibility and rational constraints, the curse of knowledge is born, which will have a huge impact on the witch's mind.

To put it more bluntly, mad scientists, fanatics who pursue the truth, terrorists who study taboo black magic, etc. were born.

Most of the crimes in the world of witches today stem from this. It goes without saying how terrible the consequences will be if a person with power loses control, especially a powerful existence like a witch who is almost equivalent to a god. Once out of control, it will be the birth of an evil god.

This is where the curse of knowledge is really scary. Whether those scumbags learn to go crazy is just a small problem, and the most terrifying thing is that the kind of theology that becomes obsessed, this is a big problem.

Well, for example, Zhang San, who has studied law all his life, suddenly wants to try his own research results.

Is it scary?

Yes, really scary.

And now Senior Sister Dinah actually said that there is such a patient with the curse of knowledge in the Eye of True Sight Society. At this moment, Dorothy wanted to rush out of the door and run away.

The house witch is trembling

There are signs of recurrence of lazy cancer today, but it’s not a big problem. I still have 2000 words and I should be able to hold back after a short rest. Full attendance, hehehe, my full attendance
