I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 151 The Statue of Deja vu

Lorelei's Reef
Shaar raised his hand, and a topographic map of Germany appeared beside him, floating and slowly opening.

According to the place names on the map, he followed the Rhine River and quickly found Lorelei's location.

Although his clairvoyance can observe the whole world, it cannot observe every corner at the same time.

In other words, it is actually possible, but it is too brain-intensive. The amount of information contained in the entire world is huge, and a lazy person like Shaar obviously won't do it.

Just as Cage said, this river is extremely deep, with many reefs, and the river surface is not as clear as the place where they stayed.

Shaar looked through the river below the river, but he couldn't find anything that looked like a treasure.

Or is it covered by magic?
His eyes were filled with magic again, and soon, he found something under the river bed.
It seems that it is indeed here, but to get there, some things or steps are needed.

There was a curse on the treasure, so after killing Siegfried, Hagen did not take the treasure for himself, but threw it into the river bed.

But obviously, he is still greedy for the treasure, so he still left some entrances, such as the key to open the treasure.

He should have given the key to his descendants, and the English on it was obviously written by later generations.

Xiaya actually wanted to go there to see for himself, but...

He lowered his head and looked at the beauty sleeping soundly in his arms, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a vague smile on the corner of her mouth.

They were lying on a hanging basket.

The hanging basket was made by Shaar a few days ago, and it was placed on one side of the courtyard, with pillows and quilts spread inside, so it can lie horizontally.

Lying here, watching the surrounding lakes and mountains, gradually going away with the action of the castle, the hanging basket is shaking gently, accompanied by the breeze, it is very comfortable to take a nap here.

From a scientific point of view, when people have intimate contact such as hugging, the human body can secrete a hormone called "oxytocin", which can regulate nerves, relieve stress, and greatly improve people's sense of happiness.

When men and women hug, women will secrete more oxytocin than men, which is about three times, so that hugging brings more happiness to women than men, so women prefer the feeling of hugging.

As the saying goes, where there is need, there is desire.Women's desire for hugs is stronger and more frequent than men's.

So Alicia likes to sleep with Xia in her arms. She may be a little reserved at first, but later she has no scruples.

The time of such a change should be after Isabel left.

The eldest sister is like a mother. In front of this real sister, Alicia still has some scruples.

In short
Xia looked at Alicia who was sleeping soundly in her arms.

wait for her to wake up
. . . . . .

Cage and Hei Lang didn't hesitate too much. Although Hei Lang's injury was still not healed, time didn't wait for him.

After tidying up, they got up and left Cage's house.

But not long after they left the house, when they walked into the alley.

A dozen or so people suddenly jumped down from the surrounding roofs. They were dressed in assassin uniforms very similar to Hei Lang's, with hoods on their heads, and their appearance was hidden in the hoods.

Cage obviously didn't realize that they were wearing the same clothes as Hei Lang, he took a step back subconsciously, and said to Hei Lang nervously.

"Are they the ones from the sect you said?

What now, run? "

However, just when he was about to turn around and run.

The dozen or so assassins all bowed their heads to Hei Lang and said.

"tutor."

Of course, this is not the title of the leader of the Brotherhood. As the founder of the Brotherhood and the instructor of the Brotherhood's assassin spirit, the members of the Brotherhood are willing to use this title to call Hei Lang.

Cage looked at Hei Lang.

"They are all my people." Hei Lang explained.

The leading assassin pulled his hood back. It was the assassin named "Hoover" that Shaar and the others encountered in the Headless Horseman incident.

Among the three people I met at the beginning, there were two men and one woman. One of the men was older and calmer, and that was Hoover.

Three years later, he had two more obvious nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose.

"Our people have been looking for you around here for a long time." Hoover said, "As long as you are fine, please don't act alone next time, wait for our people to arrive."

"Time waits for no one." Hei Lang sighed with emotion in a low voice, "However, although I didn't get the key, I also found some useful information."

He pointed to Cage beside him.

"His name is Nidala Cage, and his ancestor was a magician, and he gave us our information."

Hearing that Cage's ancestor was a magician, Hoover and the assassins behind him looked at Cage with something strange.

Cage was also a little strange. To be honest, in his memory, most people who heard that his ancestor was a magician definitely didn't believe it. They even had a kind of vigilance, thinking that they were a liar.

Because there are actually many examples of pretending to be a wizard to deceive people.

Germany is very close to Beichen, and the natural sciences in this world originated from Beichen in a sense, so the thinking of people here is naturally influenced by Beichen.

To be honest, this actually surprised Shaar a little.

Confucianism advocates self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country and the world, starting from the investigation of things and the acquisition of knowledge.

Investigating things to gain knowledge means studying the principles of things to obtain knowledge, which can actually be the origin of scientific thinking.

However, in Char's world, later generations did not develop this claim into science.

Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty interpreted the "things" in Gewu Zhizhi as "things in the world".

Zhu Xi's point of view is to obtain knowledge by investigating things.For the meaning of "gewu", Zhu Xi made two explanations for it. One is that "gewu" is implemented in things; the other is that "gewu" is the profound truth of pursuing things.

The contemporary Lu Jiuyuan held the opposite view to Zhu Xi, believing that "investigating things and extending knowledge" meant to seek the principles of nature by dispelling material desires, and opposed pursuing knowledge outside the mind.

Wang Shouren of the Ming Dynasty also opposed Zhu Xi's "that is, the principle of poor things", and thought: "Confucianism in the past interpreted the object as the object of the world, how can the world be obtained? It is said that every plant and tree are also reasonable, how to evaluate today? How can you get the grass and trees in the grid, but how can you be honest with yourself?"

Therefore, Wang Shouren believed that "extending knowledge" means extending conscience, and "getting things" is the right thing, so he said "getting things and extending knowledge" as "extending knowledge and investigating things", that is, "to extend the conscience of my heart to everything."

However, whether it is Zhu Xi, or Lu and Wang, the significance of their "investigating things and extending knowledge" lies in personal moral cultivation, not in the understanding of natural physics.

These scholars have always adhered to the orthodox concept that only the study of Confucian classics is orthodox, so they only regard the study of mathematics and natural science as unorthodox in the service of production and development.

They believe that only by improving their self-cultivation and continuous thinking can they understand the world.

For them, studying things to know is just a tool and cannot be used as the main means.

Therefore, in ancient my country, there were very few people who took the study of science to explore the principles of the world as their lifelong ideals, and only those who wanted to benefit the people through scientific research.

In this way, science itself no longer exists subjectively.

From a philosophical point of view, later Confucian Neo-Confucianism clearly referred to the relationship between man and man in its understanding of the relationship between man and nature, and believed that reason ruled all things in the world.

In this way, to a certain extent, the problem of studying the objective world is transformed into the study of people themselves, and science cannot be formed.

Taoism uses Dao to unify the objective world, and puts forward many dialectical viewpoints, but their ultimate goal is not to explore in nature, but to achieve a state of freedom.

None of these ideas provide a philosophical basis for science.

Although the historical process of this world is still respected by Confucianism, it has included a hundred schools of thought with the inclusiveness of Confucianism, so that the study of things and knowledge has been extended.

This is why the country's territory is so large.

Shaar felt that the Beichen of this world might have had one or two traversers in the past.

In short, the attitude of these people made Cage feel a little different.

He obviously didn't know what Hoover and others experienced three years ago.

"Let's go back to Montney first." Helang said, "Let's go back and discuss the follow-up plan."

"Yes." Hoover nodded, "There just happened to be a group of newly trained assassins in the manor who need you to guide them to formally join the Brotherhood."

Then, a group of them left here and left the town on horseback. The place they were going to was not far from here, and it took a few hours to ride a horse.

During these three years, it seems to be due to the blessing of fate.

Under the operation of Helang, the Brotherhood has been fully developed.

While fighting against the Nightmare Order, they are also carrying out assassination missions, assassinating the nobles and upper-class people who exploit the people.

They redistributed some of these people's wealth, and the other part was used as operating funds for the fraternity.

They met some like-minded friends in it and were happy to provide financial support for the fraternity.

So they actually have a lot of wealth.

About a year ago, Heilang took the place of a nobleman and obtained a fief, which was not very big, it was a small manor-style village.

There is the headquarters of the Brotherhood, and the weaving of the Assassins and the forging of the Hidden Blade actually come from here.

When Cage arrived near this manor, the first thing that caught his eyes was the tall city wall.

The city wall is built according to the outline of the mountain, roughly circular, with a total length of 570 meters.

There are 14 equidistant towers and 2 gates, and the main street connecting the two gates in the city is roughly in a straight line.

On the main square, there is a Romanesque church with a simple facade, as well as Renaissance-style noble and merchant residences.

On the small streets outside the main square, give way to houses and small shops facing the garden.In times of war, these gardens could provide the food necessary for survival when surrounded by the enemy.

Entering the interior of the manor, stepping on the small road paved with bluestone, people in the shops on both sides and people on the street are warmly greeting Heilang and the other assassins.

Some of the civilians here are the families of these assassins, while the other part are rescued by the assassins from the nobles, and they have nowhere to go, so they are placed here.

"father!"

A girl ran out from one side and threw herself into Hei Lang's arms happily.

"You are finally back!"

The girl is about seven or eight years old, she looks very juicy, with a pair of delicate twist braids, and a pair of big juicy eyes on the face of the doll with some freckles, and the little rabbit teeth that are exposed when she smiles are very cute .

Hei Lang touched her head softly, took out something from his pocket and gave it to her.

"I made it for you."

It was a grasshopper made of straw, very delicate and small.

The girl seemed to like it very much, with a happy smile on her face.

"Thank you dad!"

"Hey, I'll go to the secret room with other uncles to discuss something, you can go and play by yourself." Hei Lang said.

The girl was also very obedient, knowing that she shouldn't bother Hei Lang at this time, so she turned and left.

"Do you have such a big daughter?" Cage said in surprise.

"She is, my adopted child from the south of Britannia."

Hei Lang stared at her leaving back with deep eyes and said.

As if he didn't want to continue discussing this topic, he continued to take Cage to a villa inside the manor.

"We are a group of people who come together because of like-mindedness and unity.

Although our current enemy is the Nightmare Order.

But they are not our only targets. "

His words paused, and continued.

"After my parents were killed, I experienced despair like never before.

Because my enemy is not just that unknown sect, but also a noble with military power.

He looked at my family's factory, so he helped the religious order to put an unwarranted charge on my family.

However, I was also lucky. I met one of the most important beings in my life. He taught me a lot of knowledge and gave me a creed that will be carried out throughout my life.

I managed to get my revenge by killing the nobleman, but as I stabbed the man's chest with my Hidden Blade, many thoughts popped up in my mind.

Such nobles are not an exception. There are too many people in this world who are exploited and bullied by nobles.

These upper-class people control unimaginable wealth, power, and land.

They already have everything, but because of this, the demon named desire expands infinitely in their hearts.

I was thinking, when I encounter this kind of thing, I can meet a noble person, but when other people encounter this kind of thing, who should they rely on?

And who can give them fairness and dignity?
law? "

Hei Lang looked at Cage with deep eyes.

"Do you believe?"

Cage fell silent.

"This is also the meaning of our place."

Heilang looked around and muttered softly.

"When the law fails to bring justice to the parties, we are when we appear.

I know that we may not be able to save everyone, and we may not be able to do our best, but at least, in this long dark night, we can light up a lamp that makes the lost people have the courage to move forward again.

Let the good ones stop crying, and let the evil ones be punished as they deserve.

until dawn.

We are the sword of Damocles hanging over the exploiters.

We are a fraternity.

We are assassins. "

Listening to these words, Cage's heart was a little stirred.

To be honest, when he first met Hei Lang, he thought he was just an unlucky guy who was robbed by robbers.

But after hearing his story and seeing the moment when the group suddenly appeared, he knew that this was not a simple person.

But no matter which time it was, the shock it brought to him was actually not as good as what he said.

He couldn't describe his feeling at this moment, and he didn't know what it was that shocked him.

If there is a modern person here at this moment, maybe he can answer him.

That is an ideal, a belief.

Hei Lang led Cage straight into the villa, and opened a secret passage leading him down.

This is the secret room built by the original owner of the villa. It is a circular hall, but there is actually a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the manor.

At this moment, this place has become the meeting hall and place for these assassins to swear.

Entering this hall, there is an unfinished statue standing against the wall in the middle of the hall, only a faint outline is carved out.

But for some reason, Cage always felt that this statue seemed to have been seen somewhere
