Chapter 753 (1/2)
Perhaps Chen ang has been looking at this text for a long time, which has attracted the attention of goblin guards in scarlet gold uniforms at the door. These goblins look a bit like golumbo and goblins common in the Western fantasy world. Their light green skin and short stature, as well as their greedy nature for wealth, all remind people of this fantasy race.
But the goblins in the Harry Potter World are another kind of creatures. They are not even intelligent life, but a magical creature.
The rampant fight with Muggle world mice often appears in the back garden of the wizard family. The image is like a bearded dwarf, but it is an annoying creature with low IQ. The two twins of the Weasley family often experiment with goblins. In Chen Ang's view, there is a trace of the style of our generation.
Chen ang brushed off the spell at the gate of the ancient Lingge and walked into the silver gate. Inside, there was a tall marble hall. About a hundred goblins sat on the high stool behind a row of long counters. The layout was like a bank in the 17th century. Those goblins did not lift their heads when they saw Chen ang coming in and focused on their work. Some of them used scales to check the weight and color of Jin Jialong, Some use eyeglasses to check gemstones, and some register books.
The currency value of jinjialong is very high. One jinjialong has about five pounds and the contract is 50 yuan. Moreover, jinjialong is not pure gold. Even in 1990, five pounds could not be exchanged for two grams of gold. If jinjialong is pure gold, there will be an absurd result. The value of jinjialong is higher than its currency value, even if the financial system of goblins is rough and backward, They are not so stupid.
For Chen ang, although the pound is as much as paper, gulingge bank also has regulations on the review and restriction of large exchange. Therefore, Chen ang has only exchanged 2000 gold galleons in total, which is enough to spend money.
The price in the magic world is not high. In lichen bookstore, Chen ang picked up some teaching materials and books, and picked up some old books at a low price, but it only cost a few hundred gold gallons. Chen ang slightly turned it over and found that, as expected, in the books of wizards, even in the spells and magic books at the core of the magic system, there are really magic related knowledge, It is also extremely incomplete and remote.
Not to mention the complete system that Chen ang learned, with a complete set of logical system and rational speculation of the arcane magic system, that is, the reorganized mage magic system after the fall of ancient arcane civilization is countless times better than these chaotic, fuzzy and unsystematic spell books. Most magic books in this world are really just spell books.
They only teach how to wave a wand and cast a magic.
There are detailed explanations for the gesture of holding a magic wand and the pronunciation of the spell, but there is little explanation for its essence. Some are only vague and strange descriptions. They look like a neurotic and confused old witch's babble, which is close to the image of most wizards seen by Chen ang.
People don't understand whether these messy magic books with clear language but chaotic internal logic have educated the Wizards in the magic world like this, or whether these wizards can only write this kind of magic book.
In those rare alchemy classics and magic medicine books written by Dumbledore and Nicole LeMay, Chen ang found some knowledge related to the essence of magic, but these things are not the cognition of the whole world, the universe and the plane, the analysis of energy rules and world rules, and the rational language full of mathematical formulas.
It is a set of things operated by empirical technology and mysterious philosophy. It uses a lot of symbols and visions, describes them in perceptual and fuzzy language, and obtains laws based on personal experience. It looks like a useful thing, but in fact it is a hybrid product of the set of rules, philosophy and symbolism of medieval alchemy secret books.
It cannot be said that they do not have sophisticated and in-depth research, but they are full of idealism, perceptual and personal feelings, rather than scientific and rational research based on a set of orderly rules.
Chen ang commented: ”the research of wizards in the magic world is a hybrid deformity of Western mystical idealism and Oriental empirical technological progress.”
”They don't study mathematics!” Chen ang sighed with his magic book covered. ”Can you study a bird?”
”No wonder Dumbledore won the Merlin medal because he found twelve new applications for dragon blood? Wizards in the magic world are a group of people who rely on experience and intuition, blind cats and mice, and generally touch universals to master the application of their magic instinct. They have no science, even reason does not exist, and most wizards can't even do four operations.”
