The Immortals Of The Wizarding World

Chapter 8 Learning

What is the fastest way to understand a world?

Eli thinks it's history.

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

Eli browsed the "Complete Works of Imperial History" and gained a deeper understanding of this world.

Of course, the deeper understanding is about the Byrne Empire.

Byrne Empire.

Located in an area south of the Dark Mountains and north of the Endless Sea, there are four principalities under the empire, namely the Frostwolf Principality, the Angry Lion Principality, the Elk Principality, and the Giant Whale Principality.

The four duchies are located in the four sides of the empire, and they are managed by four dukes respectively. King's Landing City is located in the center of the empire, managing the vast land of the vast empire, and coordinating various marquises, earls, barons, viscounts, and other forces.

Each aristocratic territory is managed by itself, and the empire does not ask too much. Therefore, although the empire is in a unified state, wars have been happening all the time.

There is even such a sentence.

Every noble has waged war with the king.

Of course, this is just a joke, but it can also reflect the current situation of this huge empire.

And "The Complete Works of Empire History" is all the things that happened in the empire from its establishment to its subsequent development. There are detailed details of each war, and some major events occurred in it.

But the strange thing is that the name of the first king who established the kingdom was not written in it. Eli was a little surprised, but he ignored it.

Eli sat on the chair and flipped through the book page by page.

He only reads each page once. If you look at it from the perspective of other people, you can see that Eli seems to be flipping through the books quickly, without any memory at all.

But only Eli himself knows, he really remembers.

"It's so cool." Eli had never felt this way before.

This is Eli's feeling at this time.

Words are printed into Eli's brain one by one, as if engraved in the brain, and will never be forgotten. Every word and every punctuation mark can be clearly recalled by him.

If Eli had this kind of memory in his previous life, where would he have had the chance to work overtime for more than a month? It should be the one that made other people work overtime.

After watching the complete anthology of imperial history for a while, Eli closed it to one side and opened the "Aristocratic Heraldry" on the other side.

If the history of the empire is not only remembered in books and in the brains of people in the past, then there is another place where he is definitely the most condensed, and that is the coat of arms.

The coat of arms was originally just a badge representing the identity of the family, but with the development of the empire, it was also instilled with deeper meanings by the nobles and knights. In addition to representative signs, the nobles would also engrave some historically significant symbols. Show family honor.

It can be said that a coat of arms is the condensed history of a noble family.

As far as he knew, the coats of arms of the four dukes were Frostwolf, Angry Lion, Elk and Giant Whale.

There is also the king, who is said to be Violet. Therefore, the family of the king, also known as the Violet family, represents its supreme honor.

Therefore, heraldry has always been one of the most popular aspects of the empire, and it is also called by the nobles of King's Landing as an elegant knowledge that only true nobles can master.

Of course, this is just the rhetoric of the nobles.

Eli naturally doesn't take it too seriously, but he will still remember it, after all, his position determines what he will do.

If he was in other countries, he might not even look at it, but he still has to live here for a long time, and the upcoming test determines that Eli must master it.

"Hey, three days should be enough." Eli looked down at him for four books.

None of these books are independent of each other, and are all aspects of Maester Lemon's speaking.

"After mastering these, I should memorize dozens of books, so it should be no problem!" Eli memorized the unique coat of arms one by one, while flipping through the history of the empire to study.

He didn't know how difficult the test was, so he could only go all out.

Time passed little by little.

Eli was so immersed in the book that he had completely lost track of time.

...

"Hey, is there anyone else here?"

Clutching the books, Clement returned from outside the library.

As a bachelor, he also took care of some nobles' consultations, and that was exactly why he went out just now. He didn't just return after finishing his work, and saw that the reading room that was supposed to be closed was still lit.

"Could it be some careless kid who forgot to turn off the lights?" Maester Lemon frowned.

He put the sorted books aside, then walked towards the reading room, and saw Eli who was still reading with his head down.

"That kid during the day." Seeing some strange figures inside, Maester Lymon remembered something.

Isn't this the kid who asked him what the exam was for?

What are you doing! reading a book!

He did seem to have said that they were allowed to stay and read.

"But...is this called reading?" Maester Lemon's mouth twitched as he watched Eli flip through the books quickly.

That speed is simply outrageous.

It's all nonsense!

"Eli? What are you doing?" Bachelor Lemon, as a veteran scholar, finally couldn't stand Eli's blasphemy of knowledge anymore, and said angrily.

Hearing the sound, Eli raised his head and saw Maester Lemon with an angry face.

?

Eli was a little confused, but looking at the slowly approaching Bachelor Lemon, he said in an uncertain tone, "I'm reading... What's the problem?"

"Reading? You call that reading?" The corner of Maester Lymon's mouth twitched.

One page per second, what do you call reading? You call it sweeping books.

"I have been observing for half a minute. During this time, I saw you flipping through the book aimlessly. Eli, I thought you were a good boy during the day. You disappointed me so much." Bachelor Lemon Shaking his head, he looked at Eli with disappointment in his eyes.

Ah this!

Eli didn't expect such a thing to happen, so he immediately said:

"Bachelor Lemon, I was really memorizing just now, but I have read all the previous ones, so I quickly read them."

No way, he can't say that he is really remembering.

"Hmph, so don't you remember everything?" Maester Lemon also realized that he was getting agitated, but he still asked, "I don't believe you can remember so much?"

"Remember." Eli replied.

"Remember?" Clement felt that his extinguished flames were burning again, staring at Eli and said, "Okay, then I will test you. If you can't answer, you don't need to take the test."

"Let me ask you, how many barons are there in the empire?" Bachelor Lemon asked a question that he thought was treacherous. After all, who would memorize the number of barons?

"Two thousand two hundred and twenty-one." Eli blurted out.

Lemon:? ? ?

so fast? At first glance, it was really two thousand two hundred and twenty-one.

Coincidence, must be a coincidence.

ten minutes later.

Clement stood there with a dazed expression.
