Chapter 31 (2/2)

With Isaac's self righteous degree, he certainly won't doubt it. I'm afraid it will be taken for granted.

”But speaking of Isaac, he was actually the first to take the initiative to go to vimpal college and want to become a wizard apprentice.” the old man's eyes showed the lines of memory. ”He came from a village south of the college and was penniless when he came to the college.”

”His parents are both farmers and devout believers of the Holy Cross. What's more, he has no money to support his studies.” the old man suddenly smiled: ”but Dalton gave him a chance to be a part-time librarian and spend a month remembering all the books in the library.”

”So it is...” Lauren nodded thoughtfully, ”I guess he didn't spend a month at all, did he?”

”It took him only three days, two days before he was still literate. Then Dalton and I realized that perhaps the highest achievement of vimpal in the future was the highest achievement that Isaac Grantham could achieve.”

”In order to protect him, I didn't hand him over to any other tutor, but let Dalton take charge, so that Isaac can be separated from the other apprentices without criticism or interference.”

This point can be understood more or less - this era is different from the world they used to be, and birth often determines everything. Even Isaac himself never talked about his family, which is enough to illustrate the problem.

However, Loren found another thing. Both himself and Isaac had to become Dalton's apprentice for some special reason. What was the reason for the little wizard ain Rand?

Loren felt more and more curious.

”Whether it's you, Isaac or ain, you all have some secrets that can't be known, but these things shouldn't be your burden.” Peter pushed his ridiculous single eye: ”the more lonely people are, the more they should trust their friends rather than guard against them. Try and see, you won't be disappointed.”

”Thank you for your instruction.” Lauren bowed his head ”solemnly.” I won't forget it. ”

”I hope you can really find a friend you can absolutely trust.” the old man smiled and prepared to get up and leave, but suddenly stopped: ”ah... I heard you're trying to study mystics and emptiness, aren't you?”

”Just a little curious.” Lauren smiled: ”so far, none of the contents I have seen about the void has described its existence in detail, so it is inevitable to have some doubts.”

”No one can really understand it, and you can't 'understand' it.” Peter suddenly said a meaningful sentence: ”emptiness is never simple enough to describe, let alone be explained.”

Can't ”understand”, let alone be explained? The old man's words made Lauren think. What I have seen before also mentioned that the void ”exists because it does not exist”, which is like what it implies.

Are you reminding yourself that emptiness is not a real existence with shape to describe, but a completely abstract concept?

When he recovered, the old man had already left. After a little silence, he seemed to understand why the other party had to see himself.

Loren couldn't help laughing and looked down on him.

Trust others wholeheartedly, trust another individual who can never be fully sure of himself, believe that the other party will take himself rather than themselves as the first when considering problems, and will not betray himself under absolutely favorable conditions?

Well... That's against humanity, isn't it?
