House Witch

   Chapter 102 101. 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. These materials are too messy on the Monet, so I don't know if you have any reliable materials here. Of course, if you have special research It’s even better if you’re knowledgeable.”

  The house witch said expectantly.

   "The deeds 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 here. I can ask someone to write a book list for you. As for the people who specialize in research in this area."

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

   "Yes, there is, but it's just Sister Fanny's character"

  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, but 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 quite common for talented people to have eccentricities. The house witch doesn't think there is any problem with this.

   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, Dorothy doesn't bother to waste that time anymore.

  Although learning is not difficult for her, there are always things people 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. The shadow of studying the deeds of the three kings is basically equivalent to studying the history of witches. Even the deeds of the youngest demon king have to be traced back to 20,000 years ago.

  This is too difficult.

  So, 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 talk about that senior sister, 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?"

   Now she understands why the senior Dinah in front of her would rather let her learn by herself than recommend to her 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 mind, 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 growth of the main character, full of blood and tears. The heart of the strong.

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

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 a sentence that Dorothy often heard people sigh in her previous life. You can work **** 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. This actually refers to the general term for the 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 the witch, the stronger she will be.

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

The greater the power, the stronger the desire is actually. After all, not everyone has the great awareness of self-sacrifice and self-sacrifice. Most people will definitely not think about doing charity and giving back to 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 lives in coordination between the two.

  Wealth is like this, 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 can learn to go crazy is just a small problem. The most terrifying thing is that the kind of theology is obsessed, which 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 this 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 2,000 words and I should be able to hold back after a break. Full attendance, hehehe, my full attendance
