Chapter 581: Olive branch (4,300 words)

Even in the tentative brief encounter, Ivan has clearly felt the opponent's witchcraft power far surpassing him, which is a kind of all-round systematic power.
And the expression is relaxed, obviously it is far from using all his strength.
Zi Zi Zi...
The power of [Bloodline Plug-in Universe Dragon] in the body began to surging, and Ivan's black pupils began to gradually elongate, turning into a dragon-like vertical pupil close to crystal color.
Currently, there are two plug-ins used in this talented spell, one is [Storm Dragon] that has been tested in actual combat and can cooperate with [Shenwei], and the other is [Space Dragon] that can control space power.
Cooperating with master swordsmanship, simultaneously launching [Change Ones] and [Activate Dead] is the strongest attack that Ivan can use. If he can't win this opponent whose wizard level is almost higher than the old principal Princeton, he must prepare Sa Yazi ran away.
At least in terms of escape ability, Aiwen, who has almost fully used his skills, is still somewhat confident.
but.
Jeros, who was standing across from Ivan, didn't seem to feel the [Long Wei] slowly spilling out of him.
On the contrary, after realizing that Ivan could understand his own theory, he seemed to have met someone in the same way and began to introduce his own school of thought with interest:
"This is the case with the'Ship of Theseus' that can be continuously updated, and so is the human being. It can be replaced wherever it breaks, and it will be stronger than the original one!
Of course, for wizards, the body and everything are all minutiae, and the complement of the soul is the fundamental.
Well, although the original witchcraft of the school has been deeply researched in this area, I am very grateful for the technique of turning oneself into a "soul stitching monster".
When I was promoted to Tier 3, I concealed my teacher’s idea of ​​‘what’s broken and replace it’ and revised it into a new concept of "the relationship between whole and part".
how about it? [Talent Spells · Trait Incarnation] That's why it was born, not bad? "
In fact.
Aiwen can not only understand the "dialectical relationship between whole and part" in his mouth, as a school chief, he can also deeply foresee the emergence of such a new concept and the impact on the old order.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask curiously:
"What about your teacher? Did you give you the head of school so easily?"
Jeross brushed his long hair made of flames indifferently, and chuckled:
"My teacher? Ha, killed it.
The chief of the school from ancient times to the present, and the original founder Theseus, a lowly qualified idiot who survived by depriving the members of the soul fragments of the school. "
Aiwen could not help feeling a cold neck:
"This... as long as you are happy."
It was an eye-opener, the world is so great that there is such a school of livestock-raising. It's just that Theseus, as the founder, got out of it and met this ruthless man with extraordinary talent.
The "relationship between the whole and the part" is obviously better than the concept of "Where is it broken?", and it contributes more to the actualization of the final creation.
From this, Ivan also had a more intuitive impression of the great adventurer Jeros.
‘Contempt for authority, disdain for rules, etiquette, and do whatever you want. Perhaps this is what attracted the great queen who was cultivated as the heir of the kingdom since childhood and was trapped in various rules, right?
Oh, plus...that face that belongs to the handsome uncle. ’
Until he finished explaining his own ideas, Jeros didn't mean to do any more, but watched Irvine’s "Dragon Eye" throw 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 Territories to explore the unknown world after the door is finally opened.
But qualified companions are too hard to find. It is even more difficult than collecting the "Golden Compass". You are different from those who have the "Adventurer's Blood" but the mud can't support the wall.
How about, do you want to come on my boat? Even after the "Ship of Theseus" is concretized in the future, one of the immortal places can be allocated to you. "
At this point, Ivan also understood what the opponent was playing.
The strength of the peak of the above wizard is enough to break the wrist with the fourth-order transcendents, and with that old antique battleship that must have been transformed into a mobile wizard tower, ordinary third-order knights may not be able to see him at all. .
Even though Aiwen has not revealed witchcraft, his strength as a powerful Tier 3 "Dragon Vessel" is enough to make him pay attention.
Everyone's energy is limited, and information reception, knowledge level, vision, cognitive ability, etc. are also limited. At this time, even a great wizard can't recognize Aiwen's own job.
In order to show his sincerity, Jeros directly lifted his incarnation state and stretched his hands.
Wow...
Under the early morning sun, several golden things appeared in Rogers' hands. With the addition of the one that originally belonged to him, the great wizard already has five "golden compasses" in total.
They were held up by invisible power and formed a five-pointed star shape, and the back of each compass was engraved with a part of "Golden Kingdom".
At this time, being close together gradually gave birth to a vision, and the subtle rays of light seemed to communicate with each other and breathe together.
"This is the result we have spent several years collecting, plus the one in your family's hands, as well as that of the wild boy under the water. Well, in this case, I don't know if his family can be found.
At least there are clues.
In this way, we have a total of seven compasses in our hands, more than half the number, and within a few years we will be able to gather all 13 compasses to open the gate guarded by the ‘Golden Nation’. "
Having said that, Jeroston gave a moment, and suddenly remembered something and patted his head:
"Look at my memory, you haven't been to the Golden Country yet, and you probably don't know the secret behind the'Golden Compass'. Let me tell you..."
At this moment, the old-fashioned Calais galleon slowly came to the shore where they stood.
Da da da...
Accompanied by the crisp footsteps of high heels hitting the deck, a beautiful lady in a thin white skirt who was not afraid of the cold came out of the cabin and boarded the bow deck to look at the two of them.
With a slight smile, he elegantly gave an impeccable dress-lifting ceremony to Aiwen, and invited:
"This gentleman asks you to forgive my husband's presumption. We have no malice against the members of the thirteen family who have deep and mysterious connections.
Perhaps for the family of adventurers who are not prosperous and continue to struggle, it may be a good thing to end this involuntary urge to take risks.
Why don't we please come to the boat and sit down and discuss in detail? Are you not curious about why family members go to the sea and the secret behind the compass? "
Seeing this lady's face, Irvine was slightly shocked:
"You are Stephanie... Your Highness!"
When determining the identity of the middle-aged captain, Irving had already foreseen this scene. But she was a little surprised to see the prince who left her handy throne and eloped with the "wild man".
In addition to her beautiful appearance that is very similar to her mother and sister, the flame-like vitality field on her body shows that this is a more powerful existence than Queen Isabella, who is over 60 years old. It has almost reached the limit of senior level, and is about to approach the peak knight.
At the age of less than forty years old, he is indeed a genius in the way of knights.
Aiwen hesitated, as a noble and general of Falitis, whether or not to salute the former queen.
After all, from the moment the obituary of the Falitis royal family was reported, the prince had already died legally. Even if she is actually alive, she will definitely no longer be the prince's daughter, let alone the first heir to the throne.
"Huh? Fanny, is this one of your acquaintances?"
The beautiful lady with elegant demeanor couldn't help being slightly surprised.
"Excuse me, are you..."
Having said that, naturally there is no need to conceal any more. Moreover, from the attitude of the second queen when reporting the news before, the two sisters should at least have no contradiction.
Snapped--
Aiwen snapped his fingers, "Venom" changed automatically, and his original aristocratic hunting outfit had turned into a stiff Major General Falettis uniform. Stepped on black boots, a gilt command knife hung at the waist, the dark blue captain's cloak hunted in the wind behind him.
Facing the direction of the sailing boat, he saluted the military salute without arrogance:
"Good day, Your Highness, my humble position is the guardian knight of the Second Queen Livina, Rear Admiral Ivan Garriott of the Kingdom."
.......
Facts have proved that although Stephanie gave up her responsibilities and left the royal family for her own pursuit, her relationship with her family is still good.
The politeness that originally wanted to solicit companions immediately showed five points of enthusiasm.
After Aiwen was invited to board the ship, the lady didn't talk about business first, but after pouring a cup of tea for him by herself, she asked about the current situation of her family.
Alvin and the main family members of the Falettis royal family, Queen Isabella, Second Queen Livina, and Rose Sword Saint Ilvid are all familiar, and it is not difficult to answer Stephanie's questions.
"...Although the Kingdom and even the Alliance have experienced a lot of major events, His Royal Highness Livina has been promoted to the Great Knight before the age of thirty, and is able to take on this important task."
Of course, it is indispensable to highlight its own role: the Garriott heavy cruiser, the Benin naval battle, the destruction of Dahomey, the Ugric island, the top-level design of the political economy of the kingdom...
Stefanie's eyes were full of brilliance.
"Really? That's great. The news in the newspaper is only superficial. I'm relieved to hear you say that everything goes well with them. Although a bad guy who evades his own responsibility is not qualified to say such things, but I still want to ask you to help me protect them!"
While talking, he kicked the husband who was sitting on the other side.
In this world, in addition to the existence of demigods and above, even the great wizard is far from qualified to despise the monarch of a country. After all, Jeros still feels very indebted to his wife who gave up the throne and followed him to the sea.
What's more, it is still a powerful kingdom with comprehensive national strength enough to rank in the top three in the world.
Facing Aiwen, the standard "maternal family" who was "important" in the kingdom's political system, the powerful high-ranking wizard even softened his tone by three points, and told him the information he possessed in every detail:
"The Black Sea, the Treasure Sea, and the Gold Sea are all just seas in the world map we have proven.
According to the legend, passing through the perilous broken star sea and the extremely severe storm belt, you can see the extremely deep ocean, also known as the "endless ocean" Fulcus, even the highest mountain can't reach the bottom of the sea.
No one can set foot there yet, but according to my calculations, the area of ​​the ocean should occupy exactly half of the area of ​​this spherical world. We had just embarked on the storm route, and we had not yet penetrated into the storm belt, where it was determined that only the legendary warship could pass safely.
Our original plan was to collect the remaining compasses, recruit adventurers who are interested in exploring the unknown world, and then let the ‘Theseus’ complete a truly extraordinary transformation before starting this journey..."
Among them, there are some that Aiwen already knows, and some do not know, very detailed. From this it can also be seen that this great wizard is clearly...a strict wife.
The next thing is logical.
Alvin, who was about to explore the "Endless Ocean", agreed to the invitation, but not as a crew member of the "Theseus", but as a collaborator.
After being promoted to the third-tier high-ranking wizard and hearing the horror of the "Endless Ocean" in his mouth, Aiwen was ready to start his own shipbuilding plan!
Even in small talk, I saw the eight boats in the captain's room that were reassembled with decaying materials, and gave Gerlos some advice about the fundamental problem of the "Ship of Theseus".
That is: the material has been replaced eight times, is this ship still the original "Ship of Theseus"?
Ivan felt that the other party's "Theseus School" 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 think that seven years later, he will be another person.
and so.
The basis for identifying a thing as itself is not the elements that make up the thing, but the internal structure of the thing-the relationship between the elements, and the temporal and spatial continuity of this thing!
There is an "identity principle" in quantum mechanics, which means that particles of the same kind are essentially indistinguishable. Although the elements that make up the body have been replaced once, the particles of the same kind are exactly the same, and there is no difference in nature. Replace the hydrogen atom in your body with this hydrogen atom, and the nature of your body will not change in any way.
If we smashed a car into iron blocks~EbookFREE.me~ use this iron block to make a metal statue. Although its composition has not changed, and it has temporal and spatial continuity. 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, and they do not have the continuity of time and space.
"Captain Jeros, conceptualize the "Ship of Theseus", stripping out the essence, that is: the specific relationship between the parts with continuity in time and space! For Theseus school, this is the ultimate immortality!"
No matter how long time or how powerful it is, this concept cannot be destroyed, just as a mathematical theorem cannot be destroyed by a powerful god.
Hearing Alvin’s theory, Jeros, who had been thinking about this problem all his life, did not have a sudden epiphany, but he also had a sudden sense of enlightenment. Before him, there was actually only one person from ancient times to the present, and he has seen the way forward. .
Before farewell.
Rogers also gave Ivan a piece of advice: "In the future, there may be an opportunity to explore a land that has never been visited by humans. There may be unexpected gains."
