Chapter 79 Knowledge is Spirit, Arrival at Hogwarts! "Memory Palace?" "Spiritual training method?" Charles raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise in his eyes. This palace in his spiritual world is the product of Deep Blue's second deduction of brain closure surgery, the so-called spiritual practice method? However, apart from the fact that his attainments in brain occlumency were further improved during the second deduction process, Charles did not feel any immediate changes. How does this so-called memory palace enhance the mind? At this moment, Deep Blue also gave a mechanical explanation. "Endless knowledge breeds infinite spirit, and knowledge is the food of the spirit." "The host can store the knowledge he has mastered in the memory palace. Once stored, any forgetfulness spell will have difficulty affecting this knowledge." "Even if the host falls completely insane, this knowledge will still be engraved in the soul and will never be forgotten." "The more knowledge stored in the memory palace, the larger its area will be. The host's spirit will also be fed back, becoming more resilient and powerful..."
After listening to Shenlan's explanation, Charles also understood the principle of how the memory palace could enhance the spirit. Just like a saying he had heard in his previous life: A man of culture is naturally elegant. If you read more poetry and books, your temperament will naturally be extraordinary, and the so-called temperament is actually a manifestation of the spirit. It is a consensus in both the Muggle and wizarding worlds that reading and studying can enrich one's spirit. The memory palace actually makes this process more concrete and more efficient. Every time Charles finished reading a book and learned a little knowledge, he would store it in the Memory Palace and could visually see the progress of his mental strengthening. At this time, Charles could see that a lot of the knowledge he had mastered was already stored in the memory palace. For example, Animagus Transfiguration, Dragon Language Magic, Luminescent Spell, etc. Ciel nodded and sighed. "Knowledge is power. The ancients were right." "Looks like there's one more reason to go to the Hogwarts library." “If I were to place all the magic books accumulated in it over the past thousand years into my memory palace, I’m afraid my spirit would grow to a terrifying level.” "Hogwarts, a place full of treasures!" Although Ciel had not yet arrived at Hogwarts, he had several boxes of books bought from Flourish and Blotts. Just filling these into the memory palace would surely allow Charles to make great progress mentally. Immediately, Charles randomly pulled out a copy of "Thirty Practical Spells" from his bag and started reading. In the state of brain occlusion, Charles read very efficiently, without any distractions, and felt as absorbed in reading novels as when he was secretly reading under the quilt at school in his previous life. Accompanied by the sound of turning pages, half a while later, Charles finished reading the book "Thirty Practical Spells" carefully. With his current level of magic, he would naturally be able to learn the cleaning spells, repair spells and the like recorded in it at a glance.
In the memory palace of the spiritual world, there is also a book called "Thirty Practical Magic Spells". Charles put it into the memory palace for storage. The next moment, as Charles felt it carefully, his spirit seemed to be slightly strengthened. Ciel frowned and checked the time in reality. Even with his learning speed, it took him more than an hour to finish reading the short "Thirty Practical Spells". If it were a big book like Transfiguration, such as the "Transfiguration from Beginners to Divine Servant" that Charles had read before, it would take five or six hours just to flip through the book. At this rate, when will the Hogwarts library be emptied? I'm afraid even dozens or hundreds of years won't work! Ciel sighed. "Sure enough, just reading books honestly still leads to no solution." "I still have to cheat!" He took out another magic book, waved his wand, and the pages began to turn rapidly. With the eyesight of an ordinary little wizard, he might not even be able to see the words clearly when turning the pages so quickly. But due to the influence of the ancient dragon form, Charles' physical fitness in the wizard form is extremely strong, and his eyesight is greatly enhanced. At this speed, he can scan the handwriting completely. In just half a minute, Charles had flipped through the book. Then, Charles spoke to Deep Blue in his mind. "Deep Blue, you can deduce and let me master the knowledge in this book directly. I don't need to use it instinctively. As long as I learn it, it will be fine. How many points will it take?" After a moment, Deep Blue responded. "Since the host has accumulated a certain amount of magical knowledge, he only needs to master the knowledge and does not need to do any additional deduction..." "100 deduction points are required to achieve this requirement." Charles calculated that one book was one hundred, and ten thousand books would only be one million. One million points, unless you invest them in a field like Occlumency that can address your shortcomings, it won't be a big improvement for you. But mastering this knowledge and filling the memory palace can actually enhance the spirit, and the input and output seem to be more stable. As for the fact that he did not learn this process by himself but had the help of Shenlan, if he was still a teenager in his previous life, Charles might have felt a little uncomfortable, feeling that it was not the result of his own hard work, and would have felt uneasy. But now, Charles just wants to say, go to hell with the effort, what’s the point of hard work? If you have a cheat but don’t use it, you’re an idiot! So Charles didn't even hesitate. "Deduction, deduction for me!" He waved the wand in his hand, and one magic book after another flew out of the box and hovered in the carriage. Ceilings, walls, behind doors, windows... All the gaps are filled with books whose pages are constantly turned. As Charles looked around, a dizzying amount of text flooded into his field of vision, and then was transformed by the deep blue into the knowledge that Charles mastered. In the spiritual world, in the memory palace, books one after another fell like raindrops and were filled into the memory palace by Charles.
Ten, twenty, fifty... One hundred, two hundred... As Charles continued to add knowledge to his memory palace, his originally imperceptible spiritual improvement finally became noticeable. Charles was so immersed in the process that he almost forgot the time. It was not until the Hogwarts Express stopped at the platform that the loud whistle broke through the soundproofing spell that Charles had casually cast earlier, and excited screams flooded in from the aisle of the carriage. There was a knock at the door of the carriage, accompanied by a reminder from the Hogwarts Express attendant. "Little wizards, please change into your school uniforms and prepare to go to Hogwarts. Do not stay on the train!" Only then did Charles come back to his senses. "Already at Hogwarts?" At this moment, Charles took a deep breath, and a very strange look appeared in his eyes. The world before my eyes seemed to have been wiped clean of dirt, and it has become completely different ever since! (End of this chapter)
