The Eternal In The Magic World

Chapter 2: The Test

After reaching a certain age, his body essence no longer changed.

More precisely, his lifespan would not change, but he would still bleed when injured and die when killed.

It was basically the buff that gave Harold immortality.

So, Harold was an immortal in the magical world…

An eternity?

Sounds silly.

Since ancient times, countless kings and even people from Earth tirelessly pursued a longer lifespan, using all sorts of methods.

But in the end, Harold achieved that goal so easily.

Many thoughts flashed through Harold's mind.

Now that he had just moved on, his understanding of this world was limited to the memories of his original host. However, just from that, he already knew that this world was completely different from Earth.

Whether it was social rules or social systems, they were all extremely cruel towards commoners. Knights were above ordinary people, and nobles were above most people.

There is danger everywhere.

Since that was the case, he had better follow the path of the original host's life and work in the library first, understanding this world while trying to master the book's overwhelming power.

This should be the safest plan.

‘I don't want to be too relaxed, but this is what I have to do to survive in this world.’ He sighed.

“I have made my decision. I will slowly expand in the library for decades before I leave it.”

Harold took a deep breath and immediately made up his mind.

Although his development period was rather long, he was immortal!

Decades will pass quickly.

Suddenly, a blinding sunlight shone into Harold's eyes.

Harold turned his head and saw a glimmer of light outside the window, and the sun had already peeked a little.

It was dawn.

…

Harold walked out of the house.

The piercing sunlight made him cover his eyes. A few seconds later, he regained his sight.

After confirming the direction, Harold walked towards the library in his memory while observing his surroundings.

He appears to be in the slums. Most of the buildings were made of stone and wood, looking very dilapidated and low. The streets were also heavily damaged, and disgusting things were often seen.

Pedestrians on both sides of the road also wore rough linen clothes. Most of them had blue or black eyes, which was the main eye color of Byrne Kingdom. Most of their hair is brown, black, and gold.

On the other hand, Harold was wearing a shirt and rough Linen short-sleeved shoes. The original host has no properties. Fortunately, he had found a job as a librarian. Otherwise, even if Harold had moved on, he would not have known how to survive.

Coming from a bustling modern city to a backward and extraordinary medieval world, not many people can adapt quickly, not even Harold. This was also why he chose to continue working in the library.

Of course, there is another more important reason, which is poverty.

Money is just as important in this world. It is a guarantee to survive.

After passing through the slums, Harold entered the urban area.

As soon as he entered the city, the scenery suddenly changed.

Whether it was buildings or pedestrians, there was a huge difference between this area and the slums. It could even be said that it was two different worlds.

Soon, Harold, who had passed through several roads, arrived at his destination.

He looked up.

In front of him was a tall building.

The pure white stone reflected the sunlight and emitted a soft light. The oval dome was raised, and its outer walls were carefully carved with beautiful sculptures, looking extremely majestic.

This is the Imperial Library.

Harold took a deep breath, then entered through the small door at the side.

Walking out of the room, Harold walked into the library.

Harold looked up. There was a large glass window on the top floor. At this moment, the dim sunlight shone, reflecting all kinds of beautiful colors. All kinds of epic scenes were depicted around him.

There were three levels below, and they were made of a type of wood that was extremely valuable in the Empire. Bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books.

“This will be my place of work from now on!”

Harold looked at the library. It was still closed, so he had to sort through the books first.

Harold had trained before, so he was well versed with the process.

While organizing his books, Harold also thought about the future.

Naturally, he had to be patient.

However, how to be patient is another matter.

After all, this is a magical world. Even though he had the power of immortality, he did not have the strength to protect it. Even a training knight or a stronger commoner could easily kill him.

“So, I need a certain amount of power.” Harold put the book on the shelf and thought of how to gain power.

Currently, the Empire was promoting the knights.

Cultivating to become a Knight was a good choice.

However, Harold was not a knight. Knight laws were usually passed down from generation to generation among the nobles. This meant that knights were generally passed down from generation to generation as well.

He could contribute to the nobles or receive rewards from practicing Knight law, or he could join an organization like the Army. They might give away the Knight's law, but this was no match for Harold at the moment.

Therefore, Harold rejected this path, and the only way left was to become a witch.

According to the title page, the author of the book seemed to look down on the knights, calling them low-level, weak, and stupid. Does that mean that witches are stronger than knights?

Well, Harold wasn't really given a choice.

In fact, compared to a Knight training that required a lot of potions and even money, it seemed that the mage method, which only required meditation at the beginning, was more suitable for him.

However, the book warns that he will need a lot of money later in his training.

After all, how could the consumption of mages be lower than the consumption of knights?

“Harold, what do you think!!”

Suddenly, a voice sounded. Harold turned around and saw Kart who was also wearing a vest.

He had a head of golden hair, and his eyes were an ordinary blue color. In his memory, he was also one of the librarians.

It is said that his grandfather was once a Baron, but he committed a crime and his family's noble status was stripped. After that, he came here.

“I'm fine. It's just that I'm a little depressed when I think about so many books here, but I haven't read many of them.” Harold is not very familiar with Kart, so he decides to blow it up.

Kart combed his golden hair with his finger, and his gaze stopped on the bookshelf for a few seconds. Then, he turned to Harold and nodded in agreement. “Indeed, I haven't read many books either.”

As Harold was about to reply, he heard Kate suddenly stop, then said, “I just read a few hundred books!”

Harold fell silent.

She prepares to reply with a regular sentence, but Kart follows her with it. How did Harold respond?

Although there seemed to be no problem with what Kart said, Harold still felt dwarfed.

However, in his memory, Kart had always been like this. He always had a sense of superiority. Not because he looked down on others, but he was just arrogant. He's like a farewell speech on Earth.

“Kart, I suggest you don't talk like that.” In the end, Harold was unwilling to advise him.

“What do you mean?” Kart sounded doubtful as if he did not understand Harold's intentions.

“I mean, you have to speak correctly!” The corner of Harold's mouth twitched.

“How do I speak inappropriately?” Kart confused.

He looked at Harold as if thinking of something and continued, “How are you preparing for the exam three months from now? I heard that only two new librarians can take the exam this time. The rest should go.”

The tests?

What tests?

Upon hearing this, Harold was slightly surprised.
