Chapter 50 Section VII

After finishing the mental visual communication, Jiandibo did not leave his seat.He sat there, thinking for a long time. Compared with the advanced technology of the First Foundation, Candiba's spaceships are quite primitive, so the journey to Seychelle can't help but be very long.He just took advantage of this time to read every report on Trevize, covering almost ten years before and after. Whether it is based on Trevize's various conditions or the many recent events, Jiandibo can draw a definite conclusion, that is, Trevize should be able to become an excellent member of the Second Foundation.It's a pity that since the Pafo era, there has been a strict rule that the Second Foundation is not allowed to absorb people born on Terminus.

Over the centuries, Second Base has missed out on so much great talent.There are thousands of trillions of people in the galaxy, and it is impossible to evaluate them all, but Candib can be sure that no one has more potential than Trevize, and no one has ever been in a more sensitive position than him. Thinking of this, Jiandibo couldn't help shaking his head slightly.Whether or not Trevize was born and raised on Terminus, he shouldn't be overlooked.Fortunately, the CommScope observers saw this point, which is really indispensable. Besides, Trevize was already an adult at that time, so it was even more difficult to see this point.

Of course, Trevize was useless to them now, he was already too old to have any plasticity.But he still has a natural intuition, and can guess a correct answer based on quite limited information.also…… Although the old Sandys has entered his later years, he is the chief speaker after all, and in terms of overall performance, he is still quite good.Although he didn't have relevant information at hand at the time, and didn't know the inferences made by Candiba during this journey, Sandys saw the "besides..." and believed that Trevize was the key to this crisis. Why did Trevize go to Saxel? What is his plan? What is he doing?

In any case, he can't be moved easily! Candiba is very sure of this.Unless Trevize's exact role is figured out, any attempt to reform him would be a huge mistake.Those "anti-mules" - no matter who they are - are watching from the sidelines. If they take the wrong action against Trevize (especially Trevize), it may be tantamount to detonating a powerful bomb in front of them. The "micro-sun". He suddenly felt another mind lingering nearby, and he waved it casually without thinking, like waving away those mosquitoes that are a specialty of Trantor, only this time he didn't use the strength of his hand, but the power from his mind.Almost at the same moment, he felt an external pain, so he suddenly picked up his head.

Sura Novi rubbed her wrinkled forehead with her hand. "I'm sorry, master, I suddenly feel pain in my head." Candib immediately regretted his recklessness. "I'm sorry, Novi, I didn't pay attention—or should I say I was too focused." With quick and gentle movements, he smoothed the tendrils of his mind that were disturbed by him. Nuowei then showed a happy smile. "Suddenly it disappeared, master, your voice can help me heal my illness." Candiba said, "Great! What's the problem? Why are you here?" He didn't find out the answer himself, because he was more and more unwilling to invade her privacy, so he forbidden himself to enter the depths of her heart. .

Nuo Wei seemed very hesitant, and leaned slightly towards him. "I'm worried. Your eyes aren't looking anywhere, your mouth is making sounds, and your face is changing. I'm staying here, too scared to move, afraid you're weak—ill, no. Know what to do." "I'm fine, Nuo Wei, you don't have to be afraid." He patted the back of her hand lightly, and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of at all, do you understand?" Fear, or any strong emotion, somehow distorted or disturbed the symmetry of her mind.Chandib wanted her mind to remain peaceful, serene, and happy forever, but she was unwilling to use external force to achieve this goal.He had fine-tuned her just now, and she thought it was the effect of his words, but Candib believed this should be the best way.

So he said, "Novi, why don't you let me call you Sura?" She looked up at him with a troubled look on her face. "Oh, master, please don't do that." "But that's what Lu Feinan called you the day we met, and now I know you very well..." "I know that's what he calls me, master. A girl is not a man, not engaged, and...alone, that's what a man calls her. If you call me Novi, I'll feel better." Glory, I will feel proud. If I don’t have a man now, but I have a master, I am very happy. I let you call me Nuowei, I hope you will not feel angry.”

"Of course not, Novi." Her mind was immediately radiant and beautiful, and Candiba was pleased.Just so happy, should he be so happy? He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, because he thought that the mule should have been affected in the same way back then, attracted by the woman from the first base, Beda Darrell, and the mule's failure could be said to be caused by this. His own situation is of course different. This Amu woman is his weapon against alien minds, and he naturally hopes that she can exert the highest efficiency. No, that's not the real reason - if he no longer knows his own mind, or deliberately deceives himself to avoid reality, then he is not worthy of being a speaker.The real reason he feels relieved is that she can manifest inner peace, serenity and joy without being influenced by himself; the reason he is happy is purely because she is happy ), and there's nothing wrong with that at all.

He added, "Sit down, Novi." She sat down as promised, but sat at the farthest place from Chandibe, and only sat on the outermost edge of the chair, showing that her heart was full of reverence. He began to explain to Nuowei: "When you saw my voice, Nuowei, I was talking to a person far away in the way of a scholar." Nuo Wei suddenly showed a sad expression, staring at the floor. "I understand, master, I don't know much about the way of the oblique person, and I can't imagine it. It is a skill as high as a mountain, but I came to you and wanted to be a oblique person. I feel ashamed, master , why don't you laugh at me?"

Candiba replied: "There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of wanting something beyond your ability. Although it is impossible for you to become a scholar like me at your current age, you can always learn something new. Learn more things you couldn't do before. I'll teach you a little about the spaceship, and you'll know a lot about it when we get to our destination." He was in a good mood, and why not? He deliberately set aside all his prejudices about the Amish people.Does the diverse Second Base have the right to hold such stereotypes? Few of the next generation of Second Base members are suitable for important positions; and almost none of the children of speakers are qualified to be speakers.Three centuries ago, it was said that three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were speakers, but there were always suspicions that the one in the middle was not the real speaker.If this is the case, who of these people who shut themselves up in the university campus first started to be arrogant?

He saw the gleam in Novi's eyes, which made him feel relieved again. She said, "I will try to learn all that you have taught me, Master." "I'm sure you will," he said—and then hesitated, because it occurred to him that in his conversation with Comp, he had never mentioned that he was not alone, nor had he hinted that he had companions. It may be a matter of course to bring a woman with him, and Kang Pu will not make a fuss.But—an Eminem woman? Although Candib had figured it out long ago, the existing prejudices once again dominated his mind.For a brief moment he found himself thankful that Comp had never been to Trantor and therefore would not have recognized Novi as Eminem. But he immediately waved away this thought. It doesn't matter whether Comm knows or not, and it doesn't matter if anyone knows.He is the speaker of the second base, as long as his actions do not violate Seldon's plan, he can do whatever he likes, and no one can interfere. Nuo Wei suddenly asked: "Master, when we reach our destination, will we separate?" Candiba stared at her and replied: "We will not be separated, Novi." His tone seemed to be a little more serious than he expected. The Eminem woman immediately smiled coyly, looking like any other woman in the galaxy.
