London is also known as the 'foggy capital', and the weather is gloomy for most of the 365 days a year, either rain or fog, so that British men are used to wearing a waterproof trench coat when they go out, and it has gradually turned into a fashion.

In late January, the fine winter rain has been falling continuously for a long time.

Early that morning, dressed in a dark gray trench coat and a suit of the same color, with a bowler hat on his head, a black long-handled umbrella, and shiny brown leather boots, Zhang Chujiu strolled out of No. 11 Popton Street and into the rain.

On the road, his gaze occasionally made eye contact with pedestrians, whether it was a vigilant patrolman, a hurried urban elite, a lazy student or an artist, they all smiled at this exotic boy who looked like an orthodox British gentleman, and many people who also wore hats also held the brim of their hats as a sign of greetings.

Whenever this happens, Zhang Chujiu smiles and nods and raises his hat as a salute.

10 minutes later, following the directions of the navigation through two blocks, he came to a well-known British restaurant on the Internet, ate an unappetizing breakfast, and once again hailed a taxi to Mint Cat Street in South London.

Unlike West London, South London's industrial and commercial neighbourhoods are full of middle-class neighbourhoods, which are more down-to-earth, and although they are also cloudy, they give people a sense of prosperity and vibrancy.

After getting out of the taxi and being surrounded by crowds, Zhang Chujiu inexplicably felt like he was back in the modern era, and followed the flow of people to a school that looked like a city park, with no walls but a comical gate and a sign that read 'Preparatory School for Languages in Europe'.

According to his heart's desire, what he wanted to do most at this time was to break into the virtual realm near London, but because he came to the UK to cover up the big crimes committed in China under the guise of a study tour, he couldn't act too casually.

Therefore, after the baptism of brutal slaughter of the same kind, Zhang Chujiu, who has become more and more ruthless, mature, and good at disguise, temporarily suppressed the desire in his heart, and planned to sign up for a language school for a few days first, and then realize his wish in response to the study tour.

The language school he chose online to prepare for admission is the 'National European Language Preparatory School'.

These colleges are generally run by private teaching consortiums for the purpose of making money, and there are two main types of recruits: one is foreign students who come to study in the UK but are stuck in the language barrier;

One is for UK students who plan to study in a non-English speaking country.

Relying on his wisdom, although he was in the mood for the occasion, Zhang Chujiu still enrolled in a one-person class in five European languages: English, French, Italian, German, and Greek, and he was very busy every day.

Originally, he thought that in a week or two, he would find a reason to end his studies and go to various parts of Europe to see the style of the exotic realm.

But I didn't expect that after the introduction to Greek, I accidentally found a book of ancient Greek mythology in the school library, and I read it half-well and became fascinated, not only did not end the course in the language school, but also learned Latin, Hebrew and even Cree... and other ancient Western languages and scripts were added to the plan.

It is far more difficult to learn those ancient languages that have been eliminated by time and continue to be used by no ethnic group in reality, and only exist in the minds of historical documents and scholars.

However, the British Library, which has the largest collection of literary and historical materials and books in the world in central London, only needs to apply for a library card, Zhang Chujiu can find a variety of systematic ancient language teaching course videos in the library database, although it is much more difficult to learn than real people, but his brain is enough to cope.

In addition, there are scanned copies of original documents written in various ancient languages in the database, which can be used for him to study the language while conducting historical research, and soon entered a virtuous circle.

In this way, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and London has entered late spring from harsh winter, and from late spring to midsummer.

Originally, according to Zhang Chujiu's previous plan, he would return to China at the end of June, but the ocean of knowledge contained in the British Library delayed his footsteps, and finally Zhang Chujiu changed his attention and postponed the return date to mid-August.

One day in July, at 10 p.m., Zhang Chujiu sat in his study at 11 Popton Street, holding a tablet, reading a comparative version of El Dorado in Latin and Ancient Greek.

If a student from Jingnan No. 1 Middle School sees him now, he must not recognize the man in front of him who has a focused expression, a deep light of wisdom flashing in his eyes, and a calm and confident temperament that makes people can't help but ignore his age.

In the process of reading ancient documents that have left a profound mark on the course of the Blue Star civilization, especially those ancient Chinese, Greek, Roman, and Hebrew philosophical books, Zhang Chujiu and countless ancestors and sages who looked at the starry sky and thought about the operation of the universe in the barbaric era of Ru Mao drank blood, and absorbed infinite nutrients.

In just 200 days, he completely jumped out of the trap of young people in the county.

As he was reading the entrance, there was a knock on the door of "Da Da...", and he came back to his senses in shock.

Subconsciously looked at the antique clock hanging on the wall, and found that it was not early, Zhang Chujiu thought in his heart: "It's 12 o'clock, it seems that Ferguson is delivering food." He raised his voice and said, "Ferguson, are you here to deliver lunch, please come in." ”

As the words landed, Ferguson gently pushed open the door of the study, followed by a maid with a dinner plate into the study.

When he came to the desk, he said in a warm and worried voice: "From the morning to now, it is half a day of reading without leaving home, sir, I have to warn you, although you are the wisest and hardest working young gentleman I have ever met, the future must be promising."

But the body is 1, knowledge, strength, wealth, these indispensable embellishments in life, no matter how precious it is, it is only 0 behind 1, you are so tireless, well-fed reading, it is easy to lose your health, when the time comes..."

"Oh, Butler Ferguson, as a transcendent being, my most confident thing is not my head but my body, so don't worry. Zhang Chujiu interrupted Ferguson's words with a smile, pointed to the "El Dorado" in his hand and said casually: "The ancient Greeks believed that dividing society and constructing a democratic order with slaves was the ideal El Dorado.

As for the ancestors of the British, they paid attention to the inheritance of the backbone elite class in society, and allowed the top authority figures to grow freely, so they left behind the strange news that the duke and earl were illiterate and could not even sign their names, but any feudal nobleman's butler could directly serve as a university professor.

As for us, the Chinese people, in the most glorious period of known antiquity, invented the imperial examination system, and selected the wisest people from all over the country to govern the people as leaders.

Although these three different social forms seem to be very far away from today, they are still imperceptibly influencing our consciousness.

For example, when you keep admonishing me to get rid of this or that bad habit, you are not only concerned about me, but also subconsciously think that although you are serving me, you are smarter than me.

And the reason why I know that you are right, but I have always refused to repent, in addition to being physically strong, there is also the subconscious that since you serve me, then there must be no smart subconscious of me.

The source of these two potential consciousnesses comes from the differences between the different social formations of China and England in ancient times.

However, it is a miracle that you, the order of the highest leadership class of British society, which is mostly reckless and stupid, has existed for hundreds or thousands of years.

I've been wondering if this was a fortuitous choice in social evolution, or the result of human guidance, which prepared Britain to complete the constitutional monarchy, the rise of the bourgeoisie, and the industrial revolution ahead of any other country in the Blue Star.

It is a pity that we should have completed the Industrial Revolution first, but the old ruling class, which was too elite, prevented this process. ”
