Offer your allegiance to Chaos!

It still has nothing to do with the so-called "simple woman".

But on the other hand, this sentence seems to be closely related to his present life. At least every time he hits a wall in a personal relationship, every time he dies at the hands of a woman, it seems that it is because he doesn't understand what a "simple woman" is.

Damn.

Too complicated.

It is [-] times more complicated than all the intrigues and intrigues between the families.

At least whether it's him or Ms. Sicily, they can handle all kinds of domestic and foreign affairs of the family with ease and ease.

And it won't be like it is now, with chicken feathers all over the place.

Ashe had a splitting headache.

"It looks like you have a headache."

Unknowingly, the silver-haired woman let go of her hand, and the expression on her face had changed from complicated to indifferent again, as if the impulsiveness and outburst just now were not her fault. She turned her head and looked out the window, and said lightly:

"Aren't you trying to use reason and thinking to analyze what a pure woman is?"

"Shouldn't reason and thinking be used to analyze a new concept that has never been deeply understood?" Ashe replied subconsciously.

"Humph."

The silver-haired woman said coldly: "It seems that what the Book of Slaanesh took away from you is not just pure love, but even the entire way of thinking has been rewritten by it."

Chapter 59 job change task?

mindset?

Ashe was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you think you are a very contradictory person?" The silver-haired woman said: "On the one hand, you are reckless and almost blindly chasing happiness, and on the other hand, you try to analyze everything with rational thinking. Appears in the most sensual and the most rational, but in you, it's all there."

"This..." Ashe paused and said, "Are they contradictory?"

"Aren't they contradictory?" The silver-haired woman asked back: "Absolute hedonism, absolute rationalism, ask yourself, is it possible for them to coexist peacefully in normal people?"

Ashe looked uncertain.

In the past, he never thought about his own thinking mode. Today, after Ms. Sicily pointed it out, he suddenly realized it.

Yes, absolute hedonism, the pursuit of stimulation that almost burns through the nerves, buried in the genetic instinct, and absolute rationalism, using logic to sort out all concepts and compulsively rigorous and demanding thinking, the two are fundamentally in conflict with each other. right!

If the latter is used to measure the former, then happiness should not be something worth desperately pursuing at all. If the former is used to define the latter, then all aspects of his thinking should revolve around how to obtain happiness, completely becoming a person who only wants to be happy. A "beast of the moment" that lives for pleasure.

But now, the two do not interfere with each other in a strange and clear manner, as if they are operating along two completely different system paths, only coming out at necessary critical moments to affect the overall situation.

This is not normal.

This is absolutely not normal.

But why?

Is it because of Amy?Being deprived of all extreme emotions, can such an effect be achieved?

Or, the existence of the Book of Slaanesh itself caused him to have other, unknown alienation?

The Book of Slaanesh...

and many more!

Suddenly, Ashe noticed the strangeness of the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, the sound disappeared.

Time stood still, the body of the silver-haired woman remained motionless, the melted ice cream did not fall, and the heavy snow outside the window hovered in mid-air.

The one who came out was a girl with platinum-blonde hair and a robe.

Amy.

"I didn't expect to meet my brother again so soon."

Amy smiled like a flower.

Ashe was dumbfounded.

"You can actually appear in the real world? Can you still use time stasis? Even Ms. Sicily can't get rid of your control?" Ashe asked questions one after another, as if seeing the Arabian Nights.

"It's not that exaggerated. This is a dream, although compared to the outside world, it's still time."

Amy shrugged, unceremoniously picked up the half-eaten ice cream on the table, took a bite out of it with a spoon, put it in her mouth, and said vaguely: "Just now, my brother's thinking touched a certain keyword. , so I let my brother fall asleep for a moment, and pulled him in."

"Key words?"

"Or maybe it's the key point. All in all, my brother discovered the contradictory nature of his mind. This is one of the changes that the Book of Slaanesh made to his soul, and it is also one of the triggering elements buried in his soul before his birth in this life. one."

Amy snapped her fingers, "When my brother has made his first advancement in the Book of Slaanesh, and he perceives the contradictions in his own mind with his own subjective consciousness, a certain multiple-choice question will be triggered. To be specific, it may be more complicated Confused, let me explain it with a simpler example.”

"Roughly speaking, this is like the career choice in the game. The second advancement of the Book of Slaanesh is based on the contradiction between sensibility and rationality in my brother's mind. When my brother chooses one of them as the future development direction, The ability to update the Book of Slaanesh in the future will also focus on it."

"Professional choice? Sensibility and rationality?" Ashe said in a daze, "What kind of profession is this? Shouldn't it be based on the three basic attributes of strength, wisdom and charm, and be divided into fighters and mages?"

"So it's just an analogy, don't pay attention to these details." Amy waved her hand and said, "Afterwards, since it is a career choice, there are also professional tasks of course, and the direction of emotional and rational emphasis is not something that my brother just said casually. It can be established, but it depends on which task the brother has completed, and the Book of Slaanesh will recognize the choice of the brother."

"...Tell me, what is the task? Could it be that you can't upgrade from fighting monsters?" Ashe asked.

"The choices that involve the essence of the mind and soul are naturally impossible to upgrade from killing monsters. They are all fundamental tortures of my brother's outlook on life and values. It is not so much a task as a trial, a trial of the soul. "

Amy spread her hands and said: "The emotional choice requires my brother to feel what 'love' is under the premise of my extreme emotions. In other words, the easiest way to pass is to fall in love with someone. Pay attention. This is true love here, you can’t fool the Book of Slaanesh, let alone yourself.”

"The rational choice is also related to love, but it is to 'understand' what love is from a rational point of view. Published by the Slaanesh journal, my brother is considered to have passed the level."

"Well, isn't it all interesting?"

"..."

Ashe blinked.

Lots of information.

The second advancement of the Book of Slaanesh...?

To be honest, after learning from Amy for the first time that the Book of Slaanesh has advanced levels, he has considered what conditions will be required for the next advanced level.

This is very important to him.

There is no other reason. Even after the first advancement, the Book of Slaanesh, which is not a combat specialty, does not seem to be an opponent of the Book of Khorne in the hands of Lady Sicily. She wants to escape from Lady Sicily and save Dirk Sass and Laplande, he urgently needs stronger power.

If you can't beat the first level, you can't beat the second level, right?

But he didn't expect that the conditions for the second advancement would be so... bizarre.

Before this life was born, was buried deep in the soul by the Book of Slaanesh... Is there a mental contradiction?

Career choice based on sensibility and rationality?

For some reason, Ashe chewed the words of this sentence, she always had a vague and strange feeling.

——After all, why does the Book of Slaanesh, the Book of Slaanesh, and the book named after Slaanesh have anything to do with reason?Why would he bury this contradiction in his soul before he was born, and use it as a watershed-style transfer level?

But that's not the point, the point is...

"Since it is a choice that involves mental contradictions, will my mind change after the choice? For example, completely abandon sensibility or rationality?"

Ashe asked seriously: "And, since it is a profession, what are the names of the two professions?"

Chapter 60 Gentlemen

"Unfortunately, I don't know the specific answer."

Amy shook her head: "I'm just my brother's auxiliary elf. When the mechanism buried in the Book of Slaanesh is triggered, I will get the corresponding knowledge, but other than that, my brother's intelligence inventory is exactly the same... I can only say that unless my brother is willing to abandon the Book of Slaanesh, there is no need to worry about it. Sooner or later, my brother will meet the requirements of a certain task and advance to the next level. Before that, thinking about these things is just a waste of energy."

After a pause, as if to give Ashe a reassurance, she comforted: "However, since the knowledge given to me by the Book of Slaanesh is 'emphasis', at least my brother doesn't have to worry about losing his sensibility or rationality completely—— It is impossible for a living person to completely lose one of them, otherwise he would not be a human being, either a beast or a machine."

He said what he didn't say, but he still gave Ashe some psychological comfort. He nodded: "Okay...then when can I return to the real world?"

"Are you in such a hurry to leave me?" Amy sighed: "I don't mind sending my brother back now, but I still suggest that my brother think quietly here for a while, anyway, this place is still compared to the outside world."

"Thinking about what?" Ash wondered.

"Use a rational way to analyze how to deal with the Sicilian lady." Amy shrugged and said, "I didn't mean to encourage my brother to choose the rational route, but my brother's current emotional intelligence is too easy to piss off that lady. It is convenient for my brother to complete his plan... In contrast, how about trying to analyze how to please her in a rational way? On the one hand, it is a tentative progress on professional tasks, and on the other hand, it is also a solution to the current problems."

This passage touched Ashe's heart. He was almost desperate for his emotional intelligence in love. Rather than pissing off the Sicilian lady again and again, so that the boundaries of his freedom were tightened step by step, he might as well find another way , Think about using other methods to find out the way to break the game.

"How long can this dream last?"

"half an hour."

That's enough.

Ashe took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and fell into thought.

——It has to be said that he is the only one who cosplays as a "meditator" in order to study how to please a woman.

……

……

Unexpectedly, the harvest was quite rich.

During the half hour of stillness, Ashe thought a lot.

Now is the time to test the results.

On the side of the silver-haired woman, Ai Xi's half-hour-long dream was just a flash in her eye. In her field of vision, Ai Xi seemed to be in a daze for a moment, and suddenly became different.

How is it different?

The eyes of the silver-haired woman became subtle.

——Ashe looks better.

It doesn't mean that Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder, but in a literal and conceptual sense, Ashe's charm has gone up a whole level in an instant.

What a beautiful young man.

The "temperament" that is difficult to describe in words, if you have to say it, it is like the clear spring flowing in the mountain stream in the morning. You pass through the bamboo forest, hold a spring water, sprinkle your head on your face, and through the crystal water drops between the eyelashes, the golden The sunlight refracted the colorful brilliance, and at that moment, the whole world was different.

——Just looking at him, it's like washing your eyes with a clear spring.

The golden sunlight was like his shining pupils at the moment.

and many more.

Golden... pupils?

Suddenly, the silver-haired woman who had fallen into a dazed state woke up suddenly, she shook her head vigorously, her expression became strange.

"This is……"

"Charm."

Ashe said: "One of the natural abilities of the Book of Slaanesh, I rarely use it, but it seems to work well."

"Not only is it good..."

Couldn't help taking another deep look at the young man's clean face, the silver-haired woman took a deep breath, suppressed the turbulent throbbing in her heart, turned her head to look out the window, and said in a calm voice, "Why are you so blunt all of a sudden? Are you a seductive little fox? I remember you are not a cat?"

"Is it an apology?" Ashe scratched her head, "The most important thing to deal with interpersonal relationships in a rational way is to do what you like. After all, equivalent exchange is the truth of the world. For you, what I can give One of the best things about me, that is, my value as the opposite sex... This is actually the same reason for negotiating with the family."

"Do you think I'm some kind of shallow woman?" The silver-haired woman raised her eyebrows, "I admit that your face, especially your current face, is very exciting, but I don't just treat you of……"

"I know, so this is just the beginning." Ashe smiled, stood up, touched her chest with one hand, bowed slightly, and performed a typical Syracuse gentleman's salute.

In the slightly astonished eyes of the silver-haired woman, he stretched out his hand and said respectfully: "Can I invite you to enjoy the snow together?"

As he said, according to the logic of rational thinking, he completely copied the set in the family negotiation to the "dating". The current posture is just like that in the city of Rome. At the dance held in the past, the elegance he showed was exactly the same.

Although she did not attend those banquets in person, even in Turin, Ms. Sicily had heard a little about the "Texan boy" who had long been famous in the upper female circle.

Sure enough, it was worthy of the name.

Surprisingly, not annoying.

"...a few words, it made you find a detour." The silver-haired woman stretched out her hand, held it with Ashe, and stood up gently, with a faint smile on her lips: "But it is also an effective detour, Although it is drawn from so-called rational thinking, it is also a correct conclusion-in fact, the so-called simple women are often so simple. No matter what your heart is, just try to please her and create a so-called romantic relationship as much as possible. atmosphere, no woman would not like it.”

Is this also regarded as the person being attacked personally teaching the attacker how to attack?Ashe smiled wryly from the bottom of his heart, but he finally relaxed a bit. He thought that a "gentleman" who was "hypocritical" might actually arouse the disgust of the Sicilian lady. Now it seems... Sure enough, sometimes women are really quite innocent.

However, his happiness didn't last long.
