301 AH (1627 AH), United States of Baron

Henrietta University, located in Norton, the capital of the United States of Barron, is one of the top universities in the United States of Barron, with more than 30 different general disciplines and more than 10 modern magic disciplines.

In the classroom, the history teacher pointed to the information projection on the blackboard and asked: "In the year 1326 of the Barron calendar, the literary works of the Barren Kingdom at that time suddenly developed explosively, and many works reflecting the social, cultural and humanistic relations of the time appeared, among which Harvey Adrian's "The Count of Monte Cristo" is the representative, so who can answer which other famous works appeared at the same time?" ”

The students in the seats looked at each other, and they didn't dare to take a breath for a long time, saying that one or two works are fine, and three or four works are fine, but looking at the posture of the history teacher, he must say everything.

Only one female student in the huge classroom raised her hand, she had blonde hair, and her face was dignified and beautiful, but somehow exuded a sense of pride that no one else could enter.

"Miss Trise Cromwell, you answer this question, I remember you happened to be doing the research, right?"

"Yes, Teacher."

"Because there are still many ambiguities about this record, I want to restore the true image of history as much as possible." Triss stood up straight and bowed her head slightly, and then replied: "At that time, in addition to "The Count of Monte Cristo", a total of fifteen books appeared in that year, namely "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë, "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë, "Agnes Gray" by Anne Brontë, "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, "Frozen" by Harvey Adrian, "Mary Barton" by Elizabeth Gaskell..."

The 15 films that appeared in the concentration caused a strong sensation in the literary circles at that time, further promoted the development of new literature in the literary circles at that time, and opened up a new pattern of literature in the kingdom at that time. At the same time, all of the above appeared in the speeches of the Count Devon Henrietta at the time, which helped him to obtain the position of president of the Literary Society at that time..."

"Although these works are very well-known, there is very little information about the author, and for a long time the outside world only knew the author's name, except for Harvey Adrian, none of the authors in these works appeared in public, nor did they have any video records that kept their identities..."

"A year after the collection appeared, people at that time wondered why they didn't see information about the authors, and they couldn't find the follow-up works of these authors, and many later writers have studied it in depth, naming it "The Ocean Tide Incident", describing this literary wave as turbulent as the tide of the sea, and after the tide recedes, there are no clues at all, and there are rumors that the truth is hidden in these..."

Triss finished speaking in a gloomy manner, and it was not until she sat down that the female teacher standing on the podium came back to her senses, and praised with an embarrassed wry smile: "Very good, Cromwell's analysis is very complete, and it also contains his own opinions, which is very rare." ”

Henrietta University, Office of the Rector.

The headmaster, a lady with frosty white hair, meticulously organized and dignified, sat behind her desk and looked at Triss and said lightly: "Miss Triss Cromwell, in view of your excellent academic performance, your application has been approved, and you can consult the information documents on the fifteenth floor and below of the library at will. ”

Triss bowed politely and said, "Thank you very much, Director, but I have some confusion, is it really because of my excellent academic performance that I passed the application?" ”

The headmaster clasped his hands together and said meaningfully: "Tris, I know that you are trying to find the truth of the turmoil in the literary world of the Kingdom of Barron three hundred years ago, you are not the first person and not the last in so many years, if there is anything special, it is probably your surname, make good use of it, it can help you dig deeper than others." ”

"Of course, I'm proud of my family." Triss raised her chin proudly, she had the capital of pride.

The surname Cromwell has long been famous all over the world, with a history of more than 300 years, compared to those real aristocrats may not be senior, but Cromwell is the world's largest integrated field company, covering countless fields, holding more than 20% of the world's wealth, its influence is comparable to that of a superpower.

Trise Cromwell is one of the core family members of this business empire.

······

Cromwell has always pursued elite education, all family members will be professionally evaluated before taking over the family business, including but not limited to the family members' living habits, achievements, learning scores, etc., these evaluations will affect the future of the members, if the score fails, then even the core members with the surname Cromwell will be kicked out of the family business circle.

Triss was not very interested in literature, she was interested in what happened to the Kingdom of Barron, which was only a remote kingdom three hundred years ago, when commerce, politics, culture, and modern magic were all developing by leaps and bounds, and even the Cromwell Company was the most direct beneficiary of that wave.

The only clue she gets is the name Harvey Adrian, who is most deeply associated with that era, and is known as the greatest writer, inventor, and spellcaster in the history of the kingdom, and the record of Harvey Adrian is still vague, and there are legends that he still seems to be alive somewhere in the world.

However, there are records of that era that can only be accessed by those who actually stood at the top of the Cromwell family.

Now that Triss has gained access to the Academy's advanced data room, which even ordinary teachers can't enter, her eyes are shining brightly, and she must find out what happened to the Barron Kingdom, the Cromwell family, and Harvey Adrian at that time.

······

The library of the University of Henrietta is more than 20 storeys high, and the first 10 floors contain more than 30 million books, which are accessible to outsiders at will, and have been read by countless famous scholars throughout history. The next 10 floors are not open to the public, and are generally only accessible to distinguished guests or senior teachers.

Triss took the elevator to the eleventh floor, and saw a ball of light the size of a basketball floating in the center of the floor, the soft light emitted was not dazzling, Triss walked over and asked, "Administrator, where are the books that record the history of the Kingdom of Barron stored?" ”

The ball of light projected a screen indication, and a pleasant female voice replied, "Miss Diana, the book you are looking for is classified on the twelfth floor, the history of the kingdom on the right. ”

Triss bowed slightly: "Thank you very much." ”

The ball of light projects a smiley face with a waving pattern.

Triss returned to the elevator, the magic circle at her feet lit up slightly, verifying her identity and projecting a row of virtual buttons in front of her.

"The twelfth floor."

The virtual projection button is automatically retracted and the elevator is in operation.

Arriving on the twelfth floor, Triss found the bookcase containing the historical information of the Barron Kingdom, and after a cursory search, her delicate brow furrowed after turning around a few bookshelves, there was nothing she was looking for.

She came to the center of the twelfth floor, encountered the same ball of light as just now, and asked cautiously, "Manager, I want to find historical information about the Barun calendar around 1326, do you have any suggestions?" ”

The photosphere projected a translucent screen to display the phrase: "Miss Diana, are you looking for information about Harvey Adrian?" ”

Triss was surprised for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

The fact that the intelligent light sphere was able to come to such a quick conclusion seemed to have gathered quite a lot of information, which meant that there were quite a few people like her who came to find information about Harvey Adrian.

"All book records of Harvey Adrian are kept on the fifteenth floor, please check them carefully."

"Thank you very much." Triss took the elevator to the fifteenth floor, which was noticeably different from the others, and Triss could faintly feel a strong wave of magical power, and the magic trinkets she wore on her body vibrated slightly to remind her of the danger here. The spiritual perception was slightly released, and Triss felt a deep shock in her heart, she knew that if she had the slightest abnormal movement here, even if she had high-level magic and prop protection, she would be forcibly repatriated in a very short period of time, or... Erase.

Harvey Adrian was a legend in history, but she couldn't figure out why a domain-level security magic array was used in the place where personal information was kept, which was more advanced than the bank vault operated by Cromwell Corporation, and could only be set up by lord-level spellcasters.

There are no more than 100 lord-level spellcasters in the world, and each of them is a national treasure.

"Interesting."

Triss's little face turned crimson, and she became more and more excited, because the deeper the information was preserved, the more it showed its value.
