MTL - Eternals of the Wizarding World-Chapter 8 study
What's 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 little changes in thinking and appearance.
Eli browsing "The Complete Works of the History of the Empire" also has a deeper understanding of the world.
Of course, a deeper understanding of the Byrne Empire is.
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 Duchy, the Angry Lion Duchy, the Elk Duchy and the Giant Whale Duchy.
The four principalities are located in the four corners of the empire and are managed by four dukes respectively. King's Landing is located in the center of the empire, managing the vast land of the vast empire, as well as coordinating various marquis, earls, barons and viscounts, and other forces.
The various nobles are managed by their own, and the empire does not ask too much. Therefore, although the empire is in a unified state, wars are actually happening all the time.
There is even such a sentence.
Every nobleman 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 the History of the Empire" is everything that happened from the establishment of the empire to the subsequent development. There are detailed details of each war and some major events.
But the strange thing is that the name of the king who first established the kingdom was not written in it. Eli was a little surprised, but ignored it.
Eli sat in a chair, flipping through the pages of the book.
He only looked at each page once. If he looked at it from other people's perspectives, he could see that Eli seemed to be flipping through the book at random, quickly flipping through the book without any memory at all.
But only Eli knew, he really remembered.
"It's so cool." Eli He once had this feeling.
This is how Eli felt at this moment.
The words were printed into Eli's brain, as if they were engraved in his brain, and would never be forgotten. He could clearly recall every word and every punctuation mark.
If Eli had this kind of memory in his previous life, how could he still have the opportunity to work overtime for more than a month, it should be the one who made others work overtime.
After watching the Complete Works of Imperial History for a while, Eli closed it and put it aside, and opened the Noble Heraldry on the other side.
If the history of the empire is not only memorized in books and the minds of people in the past, then there is one place that he has condensed the most, 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 imbued with deeper meanings by the nobles and knights. In addition to the representative signs, the nobles also engraved some historical 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 the frost wolf, the angry lion, the elk and the giant whale.
There is also the king, who is said to be the violet, so the family of the king, also known as the violet family, represents its supreme honor.
For this reason, heraldry has always been one of the most popular aspects of the Empire, and it is also known by the nobles of King's Landing as a noble study that only true nobles can master.
Of course, this is just the rhetoric of an aristocrat.
Naturally, Eli would not take it too seriously, but he would still remember it. After all, his position determined what he was going to do.
If in other countries, he might not even look at it, but he has to live here for a long time, and the upcoming test determines that Eli must master.
"Hey, three days should be enough." Eli looked down at him and took four books.
None of these books are independent of each other, and they are all aspects of what Maester Lemmon said.
"I have mastered these, and then I am memorizing dozens of books. It should be no problem!" Eli memorized each unique coat of arms while reading the history of the empire.
He didn't know how difficult the test was, so he could only go all out.
Time passed little by little.
Eli was so engrossed in the book that he completely forgot about time.
…
"Hey, is there anyone here?"
Lemon returned from outside the library holding the book.
As a bachelor, he also took care of the consultation of some nobles. It was for this reason that he went out just now. Not only did he return from finishing things, but he saw that the reading room that should have been closed still had lights.
"Which careless kid must have forgotten to turn off the lights?" Maester Lemon frowned.
He put the sorted books aside and walked towards the reading room, where he saw Eli who was still reading with his head down.
"That kid during the day." Seeing some unfamiliar figures inside, Maester Lemon remembered something.
Isn't that the kid who asked him what the test was?
What are you doing! reading a book!
He did seem to have said that they were allowed to stay and read.
"But... this is called reading?" Maester Lemon's mouth twitched, watching Eli quickly flipping through the books.
That speed is simply outrageous.
Complete bullshit!
"Eli? What are you doing?" Maester Lemon, as a veteran scholar, finally couldn't bear Eli's actions like blaspheming knowledge, and said angrily.
Hearing the voice, Eli raised his head and saw Maester Lemon with a face full of anger. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
?
Eli was a little confused, but looking at the slow-moving Bachelor Lemon, he said in an unsure tone, "I'm reading a book... is there any problem?"
"Reading? You call that reading?" Maester Lemon's mouth twitched.
One page per second, what do you call reading? You call it scanning books.
"I've been observing for half a minute. During this time, I saw you flipping the book aimlessly. Eli, I thought you were a good boy during the day, but you disappointed me so much." The bachelor shook his head, looking at Eli with disappointment.
Ah this!
Eli didn't expect such a thing to happen, so he immediately said:
"Maester Lemon, I was really memorizing just now, but I've seen the previous ones, so I quickly read them."
No way, he couldn't say that he was really remembering.
"Hmph, didn't you remember it before?" Maester Lemon also realized that he was a little emotional, but he still asked, "I don't believe you can remember that much?"
"Remember," Eli replied.
"Remember?" Lemon felt that the flames that had been extinguished were burning again at this time, stared at Eli and said, "Okay, then I will test you. If you can't answer, you don't have to take the test."
"I ask you, how many barons are there in the empire?" Maester Lemon asked a question he thought was treacherous. After all, who would remember 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.
Lemon stood there dumbfounded.
