I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Lorelai's Reef?

Char raised his hand, and a German topographic map appeared floating beside him and slowly opened.

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

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

In other words, it is actually possible, but it is too brain-consuming. The amount of information contained in the entire world is very huge, and a lazy person like Xia obviously will not do it.

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

Char looked through the river and searched under the river, but he didn't find anything that looked like a treasure.

Or is it covered by magic?

His eyes were once again filled with magic, and soon, he discovered something under the river bed.

It seems that it is indeed here, but there are still some things or steps needed to get there.

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

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

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

Xia actually wanted to go there and see for herself, but...

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

They were lying on a hanging basket.

The hanging basket was made by Xia Ya a few days ago and placed on one side of the courtyard. It was covered with pillows and quilts and could be laid horizontally.

Lying here, watching the surrounding lakes and mountains, gradually disappearing with the action of the castle, the hanging basket is gently swaying, accompanied by the gentle breeze, taking a nap here could not be more comfortable.

Scientifically speaking, when people have close contact such as hugging, the human body can secrete a hormone called "oxytocin", which can regulate nerves, relieve stress, and greatly improve people's happiness.

When men and women hug, women secrete more oxytocin than men, almost three times as much, so that hugs bring more happiness to women than boys, so women like the feeling of hugs more.

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

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

The time when such a change occurred was probably after Isabel left.

An eldest sister is like a mother, and Alicia still has some scruples in front of this biological sister.

In short

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

Let's wait for her to wake up first

. . . . . .

Cage and Heilang didn't hesitate too much. Although Heilang's injury hadn't healed yet, time was not waiting for him.

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

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

A dozen people suddenly jumped from the surrounding rooftops. They were wearing assassin uniforms that were very similar to Heilang's. They wore hoods, and their appearance was hidden in the hood.

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

“Are they the ones from that cult you mentioned?

What to do now, run? "

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

These dozen assassins all bowed their heads to Heilang.

"tutor."

This is of course not the title of the leader of the Brotherhood. As the founder of the Brotherhood and the imparter of the Brotherhood's assassin spirit, the members of the Brotherhood are happy to use this title to call Heilang.

Cage looked at Heilang.

"They are all my people." Heilang explained.

The leader of the assassin pulled his hood back. He was the assassin named "Hoover" that Char and others met during 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 has two 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 okay, please don't act alone next time. Wait until our people are here."

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

He pointed at Cage beside him.

"His name is Nidala Cage. His ancestor was a magician. Our information was given by him."

After hearing that Cage's ancestor was a magician, Hoover and the assassins behind him looked at Cage with expressions that felt a little strange.

Cage was also a little strange. To be honest, in his memory, most people who heard that his ancestor was a magician would definitely not believe it. They would even be wary of it, thinking that he was a liar.

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

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

To be honest, this actually surprised Xia Ya.

Confucianism advocates cultivating oneself, regulating one's family, governing the country and bringing peace to the world, starting from studying things to gain knowledge.

The meaning of "investigating things to achieve knowledge" means to study the principles of things and obtain knowledge, which can actually be the origin of scientific thinking.

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

Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty interpreted the "thing" in the study of things to achieve knowledge as "things in the world".

Zhu Xi's point of view is to obtain knowledge through investigating affairs. Regarding the meaning of "Gewu", Zhu Xi gave two explanations: one is that "Gewu" is implemented on things; the other is "Gewu" is the pursuit of profound principles of things.

Lu Jiuyuan, who was at the same time, held the opposite view to Zhu Xi. He believed that "studying things to achieve knowledge" meant to eliminate material desires and seek the principles of nature through words and expressions, and opposed to seeking knowledge outside the heart by exhausting principles.

Wang Shouren of the Ming Dynasty also objected to Zhu Xi's idea of ​​"impossible principles for things", arguing: "The ancient Confucian understanding of things is to check things in the world. How can we get the things in the world? Moreover, it is said that every plant and tree is reasonable, so how can we check it now? How can we get the plants and trees vertically, but how can we get our own ideas sincerely?"

Therefore, Wang Shouren believed that "to know" means to have good knowledge, and "to investigate things" is to know the right things, so he said "to know things to achieve knowledge" as "to know things", which means "to develop my conscience in everything"

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

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

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