The Eternal In The Magic World

Chapter 8: Learning

Under the bright candlelight, Harold took a deep breath and quickly drew up a spiritual model of the Fast Memory Spell in his mind.

A few seconds later, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He lowered his head, opened the book, and began to read.

What is the fastest way to understand the world?

Harold thought it was history.

History is not just a simple record of what happened in the past. It also bears all traces of the world's past, as well as changes in thought and appearance.

As Harold traced through ‘the complete history of Empire’, he also gained a deeper understanding of this world.

Of course, he had a deeper understanding of Byrne Kingdom.

Located in the South of the dark mountains and endless Sea in the North, there were four duchies under the Empire. They were the Duchy of Frostwolf, the Duchy of Enraged Lions, the Duchy of Deer, and the Duchy of Giant Whales.

The four ranks of a duke were located on four different sides of the Empire, and they were managed by four Dukes. Jun Ling City was located in the center of the Empire, and it managed the vast Imperial land. It also coordinated the various Marquises, Earls, barons, and Viscounts, as well as other powers.

Each noble territory was self-managed, and the Empire would not ask for too much. Thus, even though the Empire was in a unified state, there was still a war going on.

There is even a saying.

Every noble has started a war with the king.

Of course, this was just a joke, but it could also reflect the current situation of the Great Kingdom.

“Empire”'s history is about everything that happens from the founding of the Empire to its subsequent development. It had detailed information about every war and some major events.

However, strangely enough, the name of the first king to establish a kingdom was not written on it. Harold was a little surprised, but he didn't care.

Harold sat down on a chair and flipped through the pages of book after page.

He only read each page once. If it was from someone else's point of view, they would see that Harold was flipping through the book as if he was flipping through it randomly. He flipped through the book quickly, as if he was just reading casually.

But only Harold himself knew that he actually remembered everything.

“It's too good.” He's never felt like this before. Harold was experiencing what it was like to have a photographic memory.

One by one, the words were imprinted on Harold's brain as if etched into his brain, never to be forgotten. Every word, every punctuation mark, he could remember it clearly.

If Harold had such a memory in his previous life, he wouldn't need to work overtime for more than a month. He should be the one to make others work overtime.

After reading through the entire history of the Empire for a while, Harold closed it down and placed it on one side, and opened the ‘symbol of the nobles’ on the other.

If there was a place where the history of the empire was reflected, it was an emblem.

In the beginning, the emblem was just a badge representing the identity of a family. However, as the Empire grew, it was also instilled with a deeper meaning by the nobles and Knights. In addition to representative symbols, the nobles will also carve several important historical symbols to highlight family honor.

It could be said that a herald was the history of a noble family.

As far as he knew, the four Duke runes were Frost Wolf, an angry lion, a deer, and a giant whale.

The king's heraldry was a purple flower, so the king's family was also called the purple family, which symbolized their highest honor.

Hence, the emblem had always been one of the most popular fields in the Empire. It was also known by the nobles in Junlin city as an elegant lore that only true nobles could master.

Of course, this was only an excuse from the nobles.

Naturally, Harold would not remember it, but he would still learn it. After all, it was part of his examination.

If it was another country, he might not even see it, but he still had to stay here for a long time, which meant Harold had to master it.

“Three days are enough.” Harold looked down at the four books he had obtained.

These books were not separate from each other, and were all in the area mentioned by Clement scholars.

“After I master this, I will memorize a few dozen more books. There should be no problem!” Harold recalled the unique heralds one by one as he flipped through the studies on the history of the Empire.

Time passes slowly.

Harold drowned in his book and completely forgot the time.

…

“Eh, there are still people here?!”

Clement returned to the library with the books in his hands.

As a scholar, he also had to take care of some noble questions, which was why he had just come out. As soon as he finished his work and returned, he saw the reading room that was supposed to be closed was still on.

“There must be a careless boy who forgot to turn off the lights.” Scholar Clement frowned.

He put down the books he had tidied up and walked towards the reading room. He looked at Harold who was still reading with his head bowed.

“That's the kid that was this morning.” Looking at the foreign figure inside, the scholar Clement thought of something.

‘Isn't this the kid who asked him what he should learn for the exam?

‘What did he do? He is reading!

‘I did say that I would allow them to stay and read.

‘But ... You call this reading?’ The corner of scholar Clement's mouth twitched as he watched Harold quickly flipping through the book.

That speed is outrageous.

This really doesn't make any sense!

“Harold, what are you doing?” As a veteran scholar, scholar Clement could no longer tolerate Harold's blasphemy and shouted furiously.

Upon hearing the voice, Harold looked up and saw the Furious Clement scholar.

Harold was a little confused, but looking at the slowly approaching scholar Clement, he said hesitantly, “I am reading a book ... Is there a problem? ”

“Reading books? You call that a read?” The mouth of the Scholar Clement twitched.

One page per second, you call that reading?

“I've been watching you for half a minute. All this time, I've seen you flipping through your book aimlessly. Harold, I thought you were a good boy, but you let me down.” Scholar Clement shook his head, looking at Harold with a disappointed expression.

Not expecting such a thing to happen, Harold immediately said, “Sarjana Clement, I am really reading. I have read the first few pages, so I immediately flipped through them again.”

He has no choice. He couldn't possibly say that he had a Quick Memory spell.

“Did you tell me that you have memorized everything?” Scholar Clement also realized that he was a little agitated, but he kept asking, “I can't believe it!”

“I want,” replied Harold.

“Really?” Clement felt his anger burning. He looked at Harold and said, “ alright, let me test you. If you can't answer, you don't need to take the test.

“Let me ask you, how many Baron territory there are in the Empire,” Scholar Clement asks a question that he thinks is very cunning. After all, who would remember the number of barons?

“Two thousand two hundred twenty-one.” spray Harold.

Clement remained silent.

He took the book to check. That's really 2221.

‘It just so happens, it must be a coincidence.’

Ten minutes later.

Clement stood on the spot with a puzzled expression.
