Before the class restarted, the teacher asked such a question. The young public-funded student couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart - how could he know this - and then shook his head honestly:
"have no idea."
"This pavilion is called 'Mirror Pavilion'. Mirror of mirrors."
Zheng Qing's eyes couldn't help but fall on the tall floor-to-ceiling mirror in the center of the pavilion.
"That's right, it's because of it." The gentleman raised his hand to hold the Roman column on the side of the floor mirror. Zheng Qing noticed that the goat-horned bat-winged devil that was pressed under the column seemed to quietly lift its wings and cover its head.
.
He couldn't help but smile.
The gentleman also smiled: "...Although the pavilion is named after the mirror, the mirror has no name. Strictly speaking, it is also called 'Anonymous'. Many people who know it will call it 'the mirror in the pavilion'"
'Mirror of the Pavilion' to call it."
"This is a mirror that exists between illusion and reality...including this pavilion."
"Most wizards can't find them."
This way of describing is magical. An expression of interest appeared on Zheng Qing's face, and his thoughts were reluctantly pulled out of the quagmire caused by Zhu Si, and he focused more on his teacher's course:
"But sir, you said before that we are now at the First University..."
"That's right."
"You also said that this mirror is between illusion and reality?"
"Did anyone tell you that First University only exists in the real world?" The gentleman asked, "Have you ever traced the origin of the name of the island 'Phuket Island'? If it only exists in reality, what does First University have?"
Are you qualified to become one of the three pillars supporting the wizarding world?"
The boy took a gentle breath.
The gentleman smiled, shook his head, and led the young wizard to continue walking around the 'Anonymous' floor mirror, while patiently explaining:
"The most difficult line to draw in the world is between reality and illusion. Sometimes it's difficult for you to know whether you are in reality or in illusion."
"It's like time."
"For high-level wizards, time does not exist. It is just a calculation method. It is not essentially different from kilograms, meters, and dimes."
"But for low-level wizards, time is real. They believe that time has been passing, eternal, non-stop day and night... So Albert would say, 'The difference between past, present and future is just
It's a stubborn illusion'..."
Zheng Qing knew Albert, who was a genius wizard in the 20th century. In the magic philosophy class, Professor Yao once introduced the achievements of this wizard to his classmates. His three papers "The Four-Dimensional Properties of Magic Power"
"New Method for Measuring the Length of Time" and "Dimension Ascension" laid the foundation of modern dimension theory and made great contributions to the birth of the first forbidden curse.
The reason why we pay special attention to this great wizard is not because of the forbidden spell or the professor’s instructions in class, but because this Albert has a more famous name in the world of Bai Ding, Einstein.
It is said that the great wizard is still staying in a laboratory in Alphaburg, and Zheng Qing has been looking forward to getting his signature.
The husband put his hand on the boy's shoulder a little harder to signal him not to be distracted, and then summed up the long paragraph he said above in one sentence:
"...So, you look at time as if it is eternity. And eternity looks at time, just like you look at other people. There is nothing special about it."
This evaluation sounds calm and objective, and simply depicts the difference between illusion and reality.
But Zheng Qing didn't fully understand.
He could only deeply understand the gap between low-level wizards and high-level wizards from his husband's description. The gap was terrifyingly large.
A piece of 'time' cuts off everything.
It was hard for him to imagine what kind of vision his husband was using now that he was holding him in his arms and giving him lectures.
Like a flower farmer sitting in front of a flower pot, humming a song and watering the seeds?
Or is it like a naughty child holding an ant on his fingertips and telling it about his dream yesterday?
The husband put his hand on the boy's shoulder with a little force again, signaling him not to be distracted.
Zheng Qing immediately took out his notebook and started copying what his husband had just said. Since he couldn't control his thoughts, he forced himself to concentrate.
The gentleman did nothing to stop the wizard.
Instead, he stopped and slowed down his speech:
"...I brought you to the 'Mirror Pavilion' today because I want you to intuitively feel the subtle differences between reality and illusion. It will make you fall into confusion and then get rid of it."
“As the saying goes, ‘Those who know do not be confused’.”
"Before entering the mirror, I once asked you what you thought of the school. You used the word 'chaos' to describe it. It was appropriate, but not precise enough. To be precise, you were just confused about the current chaos of the school. You didn't know what to say.
Which side to stand on, I don’t know which side to support, I don’t know what to do.”
Zheng Qing nodded vigorously.
The gentleman’s summary deepened his previous feelings very well.
"It's the same sentence... He who knows will not be confused." At this point, the gentleman paused for a few seconds, as if he wanted the boy to put an emphasis on these four words, and then continued:
"Here, we first need to clarify a concept, what is a 'knower'?"
"To put it simply, a 'knower' is a wise person, a smart person, a person who knows the 'knowledge'. If you have a seed of order, in a sense, you can be regarded as a person who knows the 'knowledge'.
"
"Let's take 'order' as an example - the justice and freedom of Alpha Academy require order to maintain; the justice and equality of Jiuyou Academy require order to maintain; the faith of Atlas requires the participation of order; the arena of Starry Sky Academy
, order is more needed as arbitration.”
"As small as a magician from the North District, when he took out a bunch of flowers from his hat, he knew that this action would consume his magic power, and he would not be confused by this simple action."
"The exiles who are as big as the deep starry sky know what their future should be before they set foot on the starry road. They will not be limited to this small world and just sit there and become enlightened."
"It must be pointed out here that the 'knower' is not the 'all-knowing one'."
"They will make mistakes, they will make mistakes...and they will also improve."
"If you reach a realm like mine, you can see the colorful and eye-catching patches on the sky - those are the gifts of the forerunners to this world. They are using their wisdom and hard work to make up for the wizards and the world.
The gap between them."
"For example, the 'Austrian Equilibrium' and 'Silence Theory' that you are now familiar with are actually just a 'patch'. God is selfless, and the world does not actually care about the wizard's life and death, breaking the world, and destroying Baiding."
"But we care."
"Knowing this, you won't be confused between these two theories."
