Chapter 33: What the Academy Sees

Walking along the eastern avenue of the palace's six-pointed star building, in less than ten minutes, you will see a large and stable portal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This portal is located between the Imperial Palace and the Soul Tower, the most central center of the entire Imperial Capital.

However, the Soul Tower was built later, in fact, at the beginning, this place was next to the imperial palace as the private small world of Nicholas the Great.

The words "Central Royal University of Magic and Magic" are clearly marked on the door.

This is the only magical university in the entire Magic Empire that openly occupies an entire small world as its school address.

July is not the first month of school, but there are many people coming and going every day.

When he saw Edison's sorcerer robes, many of them from afar, he stopped, kept his head half-bowed, and waited until Edison walked past them before continuing to do his own thing.

Stepping into the portal, the most conspicuous thing is the Central Royal Library, which is piled up with countless books spiraling up, like the "Tower of Babel".

The entire outer wall of the library is a living and powerful magic book, but it has been condensed by people with great strength, turning into a tower of knowledge that should only exist in fantasy books, showing the ultimate meaning of magic.

But the shells of these books are just expressions, touchable, but not read, but the knowledge inside has already been encrypted layer by layer and burned into the library.

......

Before the first emperor left, he established a knowledge secret, inheritance, and exchange with major families...... and the contract of common progress and support, which led to the prototype of the Central Imperial Library, which at that time was nothing more than a simple circular fortress.

In the beginning, this was the royal family, the three spiritual power families, and the nine magic councils, the family inheritance library of the 13 magic families.

Later, as more and more magic families attached to these 13 magic families were attached, some families gradually began to store some of their own magical knowledge into them.

But at that time, this kind of move, to a large extent, was just a signal for the small family to show favor to the big family, and the knowledge stored by many magic families was only some upper-middle level knowledge, and most of them were castrated and encrypted magic materials.

Because at that time, only these 13 big families had the authority of the library, so that they could supervise each other's forces and ensure that their own magic inheritance materials would not be leaked inexplicably.

Such a closed inheritance model did not change until the first "Death of the Mage", when the undead dominated the slaughter of the four continents.

The legends of the 13 major families suffered heavy casualties, and the more and more detailed magic families stored in the Central Royal Library, the greater the advantage of post-war reconstruction, so there was room for some legends with foreign surnames who were not 13 families to meddle in the library's authority.

After the first "Death of the Mage", until the end of the second and third "Death of the Mage", that is, the 8000~15000 rooms of the Magic Empire calendar, can be classified into the era of the rise of the family in the era of the rise of the magic family.

It was also from that time that the core of the inheritance of the entire Magic Empire gradually began to be built around a library, and the effect of the entire library was not only a library at that time, but also the foundation for the survival and inheritance of many forces.

This is just like Edison's previous life, many people will store their own things on the network disk, but many forces are not at ease about storing private knowledge here, they will encrypt it, and they will keep their hands.

There are also characters like the Lone Ranger who will leave all kinds of knowledge behind, but some of them are more extreme in the security settings of private knowledge.

For example, many people will choose to self-destruct their research materials after an accidental death without a designated successor.

However, there are also many magicians who can't bear to be buried by death because they can't bear to bury their research results, so they will choose to semi-public, or fully disclose their magic research materials.

Semi-public magic information refers to the magic information that someone can obtain after completing the client's will and passing on the verification of the inheritance, and there are also some such magic materials that will choose to self-destruct or be fully disclosed after no one completes it for a certain period of time.

It is these relics of the predecessors that Edison now has the magic materials in the public area of the Central Emperor's Library that Edison can browse at will.

At the time, the library was somewhat similar to a quest guild, with the appearance of a tall castle.

And now this fantasy style is inseparable from the Nikola Tesla who came 3,000 years ago.

Speaking of which, this one actually has a lot of things, such as the floating fortress was obviously repaired in secret, but as a result, 51% of the authority was locked, if it weren't for the core order of the divine power incarnation this time being activated by the soul stone inheritance, until the destruction of the empire, this secret is estimated not to be exposed.

Anyway, on another world line, that's what happened, yes.

However, this can be regarded as a good thing, because 51% of the main tower is locked, which makes it impossible for all families to view other people's family's magic materials at will, and the library's self-destruct data option is removed.

Therefore, in the next 3,000 years, there were more and more semi-public and fully public magical materials, and at the same time, the concept of libraries also spread, and the types were not limited to magical materials, but were also inherited and included in various knowledge books that ordinary people could read.

Topics like "legal philosophy, literature and art, biological illustrated, geographical encyclopedia, biographies, ......" are indispensable reading materials for ordinary people.

These books, in fact, can not be regarded as people in the Central Royal Library, at most the so-called books in the outer library, many rich people, as long as they can pay a sum of money, can apply for a library card, free way out, and borrow and copy books from it.

As for printing books on a large scale and reading them to ordinary people, this is something that only "publishing houses" at the national level can do. However, due to the limitations of the teleportation array, many books are limited by cost issues, and they cannot be transported too far at all, and at most they are circulated in one place.

This has also led to some strange phenomena in many parts of the empire, such as the basic knowledge that is regarded as common sense by ordinary people in some places, but it has become strange and even unheard of knowledge among ordinary people in some areas.

In terms of education level, the average person in the Central Continent is the continent with the highest average level, which also causes the people in the Central Continent to be inexplicably a little arrogant and prejudiced when looking at people from other continents.

......

It's a pity that the incarnation of divine power only says that Nikolai has read the magic materials in it at that time, but there is no specific content, and the three-day reading time in the forbidden book area does not know if it is enough to see what he wants to see.

Thinking about it, Edison walked towards the forbidden book area of the library, which was his preferential treatment as the youngest magician in the Empire, and also the upper echelons of the Magic Empire, after obtaining full permission, for the first time, someone received 100% permission recognition, and could enjoy a full view of the forbidden book area, which was claimed to be absolutely encrypted.
