Chapter 643 New Light

The incarnation of the God of Medicine came, shocking the world.

Suye and Euclid's reputation surpassed the day of the war ceremony.

Countless Greeks were sighing that Suye and Euclid saved Greece first and then Athens.

As for the matter of the Temple of Revenge, as for the death of the Grand Priest Leona, he became an insignificant little wave in the Aegean Sea, and he flew for a few times and disappeared.

Euclid's funeral was held in Dumb Harbor.

At dawn, the earliest group of people left their homes and headed to Yagang.

These people are the Athenians and their families who were tortured by the death and the epidemic, and there are thousands of them.

Soon, another group of people also went there because they all knew that Su Ye and Euclid were good friends, and Su Ye would definitely attend Euclid's funeral.

Finally, many Athenians went to the dumb port one after another.

On the beach of the Mute Harbor, with his back facing the Aegean Sea, a light brown wooden podium was erected.

In front of the wooden podium, magical temporary wooden chairs are arranged densely.

The wooden chairs were filled with teachers and students of Plato Academy, magicians from all walks of life, and a very small number of nobles.

Most people stood more than ten meters away, standing on the beach and roads.

More than 100,000 people can almost fill the entire dumb port.

Larence, the provost of Plato College, presided over the funeral.

At the end of the funeral, Larence announced: "At the end of the funeral, please ask Euclid's friend Aristotle to come forward and recite a sacrificial essay."

Aristotle walked up to the podium with his chaotic hair like a bird's nest. His face was dark, his bird's nest was deep, and bloodshot was woven into two large nets in his eyes.

He stood in front of the podium and stayed for a long time before he reached out his hand to touch his ring of space in a daze.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at the teachers and students of Plato College ahead, and looked at the tens of millions of dark people before he suddenly realized.

Aristotle wore a magic beard, took out a few pieces of white paper, spread it on the podium, and pressed it with magic.

The sea breeze in the mute port blew, making his hair look like a forest in the wind.

He stretched out his hand, gently stroked the white paper, then turned his head and looked at the deep blue Aegean Sea and the dark sky under the sun.

He turned around and glanced at the tribute in front of him.

When he watched it for the first time, he had already remembered it with his talent to remember it.

I watched it over and over last night.

Aristotle took a deep breath, raised his head, and glanced ahead.

He saw that the students of Plato Academy had red eyes, especially some girls, whose eyes were swollen like peaches.

Aristotle opened his mouth, but said nothing, and tried several times in a row before making a sound.

"I don't want to attend this funeral because I believe Euclid is still alive."

He paused, and suddenly there was a cry from the ground.

There are Euclid's students, his classmates from that time, and his friends.

Aristotle's eyes turned red in an instant.

He waited quietly, and waited for the sea breeze to blew and cried before continuing to speak.

"A friend gave me this tribute before leaving Athens. He said that he wanted me to preside over Euclid's funeral for him. I don't want to preside over it, but I should recite this article for him. The following 'I' refers to my common friend with Euclid, a seventeen-year-old boy who had to leave Athens, Su Ye."

Countless magicians gritted their teeth and clenched their fists.

"I am a fantasy person, so when I was very young, I thought about a question: What is the most fundamental difference between humans and animals?"

"It is humans who can use various tools, but animals cannot? In fact, monkeys can not only use tools, but also use branches to make simple tools."

"Is it because humans can speak? Various facts have proved that animals also have their own language systems, but we humans don't understand."

"Is it possible for people to use words or symbols? Even fish at the bottom of the sea will create some strange symbols when courting."

"Does people know how to love? We know that love among animals is equally warm."

"Is it curious? There is an animal called silly roe deer, who is more curious than humans."

"So, what is the most essential difference between humans and animals?"

"I thought for a long time until one day, I came up with an answer that might not be correct enough but I like."

"When we are thinking about why, we are essentially different from animals. When we are asking why and looking for the reasons, it is the beginning of becoming a sage."

"The great father of philosophy and magic, Thales, once asked about the essence of the world, and asked layer by layer. In the end, he believed that the essence of the world was water. Water constituted all things, water nurtured all things, and water carried all things. I believe that many people now do not agree with this essence, including me, but it is not important. What is important is that greatness, like him, has opened the door at the junction of animals and humans, so that we humans become real people, not better animals."

"It is precisely because of the layers of questioning that he proposed the concept of 'proof'. His previous mathematics and geometry were widely present in Egypt and the Mesopotamia. Because of the constant questioning, he realized that only proven existence is the real existence. Without proof, it cannot be truth. His 'proof' pushed open the door to mathematics, geometry, philosophy and magic, forming an abstraction from one to one, and then expanding from one to more. Through proof, we can obtain better ways of thinking, rather than just relying on instinct, feeling, and intuition to determine something."

"In the days that followed, inspired by Master Thales, Master Pythagoras studied mathematics and geometry, and Master Parmenides pursued 'existence'. Master Pythagoras' greatest feat was that on the basis of proof, he "abstracted' number. He clearly told us that the 'real world' we see in front of us is changing. For example, one person plus one person is equal to two people, and these two people will age, die, and completely disappear from human memory. However, 1+1=2, these numbers and relationships are eternal and exist in the 'real world'."

"Not only was Pythagoras influenced by Master Thales, but later, Liuqiber and Democritus also questioned the essence of the world. On the basis of Master Thales's 'water is the source of all things', these two masters went further and completely abandoned the existence of the 'real world', but created and abstracted a kind of invisible substance called 'atom', believing that this is the basis for the indissoluble of all things."

"After Thales, many sages began to pursue the essence of the world, some pursued ‘numbers’, some pursued ‘atoms’, while Master Socrates began to pursue ‘self’, and Master Plato wanted to pursue a ‘big self’, that is, a city-state, that is, to establish an ideal kingdom."

"Just a while ago, Master Eudox appeared and discovered a new door. Aristotle's logic opened this new door for mankind, allowing us to see a brand new world. Euclid followed closely behind not only established a complete geometry, but also used axiomatics to push the door to a new world again."

Aristotle paused for a moment, glanced at the audience and said, "This sentence is an off-topic. Aristotle wants to clarify that Eudox was indeed the first to discover the prototype of logic and axiomization, but the first hero who really promoted logic and axiomization was Su Ye, followed by me and Euclid. Therefore, whether it is the first author of "Syllogism" or "The Origin of Geometry", it is Su Ye. Well, next, I will continue to recite the sacrificial text."

"I know that many people don't care about these people, such as Thales, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Euclid, who are so far away from themselves, and paying attention to them will give themselves more money, bigger houses, and higher power?"

"I want to say, yes, paying attention to them will not make any profits for you. However, if you can learn their methods and learn the thinking behind the decision method, it will be beneficial to apply it in any field!"

"I have always been in awe and humble manner for these great men."

"It is the existence of these great men, the existence of these great men's followers, that accelerate the growth of our human beings."

"It is the existence of these people that makes us think that humans are on a big ship, but forget that we are on the sea."

"We can dislike them, we can not care about them, we can be lazy, we can give up, we can constantly struggle between happiness and pain, and even forget to pursue longer-term happiness."

"But please do not stop or laugh at them and their followers, because with them, we can be at ease without working hard."

"Otherwise, we will only become monkeys climbing all over the mountains and pigs in the pigpen."

"Their existence has preserved a glimmer of hope for mankind and for everyone."

"They shine like a bright lighthouse that towers into the sky. Anyone who wants to get rid of the past and become a better self can open his arms and embrace their brilliance anytime, anywhere, and then become a light-chaser and persevere until he becomes a new lighthouse."

"Anyone."

"Their greatness is not important, what matters is why they are great, and what can we learn."

"Euclid will not die, he will live in the world with axiomatic and Geometric Originals."

"I did not mourn his death, I was celebrating and shining on the new light of the world."

"Perhaps, something is blocking the glory of the ancestors, but the great light will surely break through the dark clouds and re-illuminate the world."

Aristotle put the manuscript paper in the ring of space.

He suddenly smiled naturally.

"I said that Euclid is still alive, and I see his new light."

"Thank you to every light-chaser who came here."

Aristotle nodded slightly and turned away.

He raised his chest high, and light burst out in his eyes.

Everyone looked quietly at the empty podium and at the end of the sky and the sea.

There, the new light flashed.
