The Curse from Knowledge Itself

Judging from what I have seen today, the general character of witches is very strange.

They advocate efficiency, and they are extremely wasteful, and will arrange a completely wasteful mode of transportation such as a subspace rail commuter bus on campus.

Yes, waste.

Eslen Witch Academy is very large, according to the map, this place that is said to be a school covers an area of four hundred and fifty square kilometers, but it is not to the point where you need to use this thing to commute, Jiang Cha thought for a long time before coming to a conclusion.

They seem to be just trying to save ten minutes of commuting time.

The amount of energy consumed for this, the amount of equipment to manufacture, is an unacceptable astronomical amount in the common sense of her head.

But on the contrary, witches are extremely laid-back and retro in terms of daily life.

They maintained the aristocratic lifestyle of medieval Europe, liked to read and drink afternoon tea, and would spend a lot of time for personal interests.

For example, the dilapidated academic office in front of you is located in the woods in the most remote northwest corner of the school, and a long path leads from the drop-off point to the front of the house.

From an urban planning point of view, this is very puzzling.

Because there are no other landmarks in the vicinity, it means that if it is not a technical problem, the commuter bus can completely locate the station directly in front of the academic office, instead of requiring the witches to walk for ten minutes as it is now.

The time saved by high-tech commuter cars is all spent in this inexplicable... Sense of ritual?

Or bad taste.

This makes Jiang Cha a little difficult to understand.

But in any case, she does currently live in this strange witch society, and she will not have a chance to leave here for the next few years or even more than a dozen years.

There's no way to change it.

So she can only choose to adapt.

Coming out of the academic office, the girl held the three books with a confused look, a little unbelievable.

Although she was mentally prepared for the witch's waste and strange sense of ritual, she was still shocked because the collection of teaching materials in this academic office was self-helping.

After swiping the pass card and confirming the identity, a strange machine with a steampunk-looking and rivet-welded spit out three books.

It is not the high-tech knowledge carrier she imagined, nor the magic parchment magic book, this is really just an ordinary book, printed with a flower body, and the fragrance of ink on it.

It's not even written with a magic automatic quill pen, it's really just an ordinary mechanical structure.

Although the entire process of making a book can be condensed into a single machine, this technical content is not much higher than the world in her common sense, but the witches have only made three ordinary books with such high-tech things.

'The society of witches... It's really an incomprehensible waste. '

In the high-tech world, it is enough to print books in ink, but is it really necessary for students to make a trip to pick up books? There is a courier in the school!

"Introduction to the History of the Witch", "Simple Magic Mechanics", "Introduction to Basic Magic"

Coupled with "Witch Fighting Arts", which is not available in the curriculum, this is all the lessons that the first year will learn during the year.

Considering that the knowledge of witches will cause mental pressure when learning, this course should be just right for little witches, but it is quite easy for students whose innate magic power is far beyond ordinary witches.

It's no wonder that Senior Si Nan said that the first year of the course was very easy. '

Although I don't know the specific value, I can still roughly distinguish Qu Sinan's magic power in Jiang Cha's perception, at least in the order of ten thousand.

The spirit coefficient is closely related to the magic power, and the spirit coefficient determines the speed at which a witch learns knowledge per unit time, so in the witch academy, it is completely possible to simply equate the magic power with the qualification.

Of course, this does not mean that low-magic witches have no way out, at least from what Jiang Cha learned in the entrance manual, low-magic witches can still successfully counterattack and obtain higher social status by specializing in potions, alchemy and other disciplines.

——Even if it is rotten, it does not matter, the extremely rich resources of the witch society can fully support a high welfare society.

Although Jiang Cha now completely confused why the witches could have so many resources.

After receiving the teaching materials from the Academic Affairs Office, the girl did not return to the dormitory for the first time, but took a commuter bus according to the map to the library known as the Great Book Library.

As a traverser witch with a weak understanding of society, the most important thing for Jiang Cha at present is to learn more common sense.

So even though she was curious about magic and magic, her rational brain made her decide to read some of the Introduction to the History of the Witch first.

It was quiet in the big library.

In other words, except for the teaching area and the dormitory area, everything in the school is sparsely populated from what I have seen along the way.

Eslen Witch Academy is already the top educational institution in the witch society, but under the concept of elite education, there are not many witches, including the teaching staff, the number is about 20,000 to 30,000, and the sixth and seventh grade seniors are basically interning outside.

Compared to the area of many countries that surpass the human world, it can be called desolate.

So even if this 'library' is very large and the books are perfect, there are only a few dozen people reading during this class time, most of them are just reading quietly, and no one speaks.

"Hello, welcome to the Big Library, I'm the librarian here, you can call me More, well... Do you want me to call the Wind Discipline Team? Skipping class is against school rules. "

A brown witch dress seems to be custom-made, or changed by yourself, obviously loose clothes after the change to highlight the woman's explosive figure, the tight place is tight, the loose place is loose, the seemingly random few strands of furrow texture and the loose lower robe form the ultimate contrast.

The soft face has a slight smile, and behind the glasses are playful brown eyes.

Her long bright purple hair added a hint of dangerous charm to her.

Perfect big sister image.

'Hmm! My good ball area! '

Jiang Cha screamed sadly in his heart.

Maybe she used to be nervous and speechless in the face of such a beautiful big sister, after all, there is a lot of information about big sister type girls in 'common sense', but sadly, under the effect of inherent magic, Jiang Cha's heart does not fluctuate at all.

"Hello Miss More, I'm a transfer student, I just reported today, and the class will officially start tomorrow."

The girl saluted slightly, blinking her eyes and tilting her head to pretend to be very well-behaved: "So I want to preview my homework today... Please don't report me. "

"Eh, it's really a cute new student, I'm really sorry to misunderstand such a beautiful young lady."

Mohr covered his mouth with a look of surprise, but his expression was a little fake.

Didn't think about disguising at all.

Perhaps, what she just said was just a joke? '

"How about I recommend a few books to you as a gift?" They allow you to integrate into the school faster - there is still a big gap between here and outside. "

"If you are a transfer student, you should be very distressed about this, right?"

"That's really helpful."

Jiang Cha patted the rise and fall of his chest, slightly relieved, and looked grateful: "Then trouble Sister Moer~"

The title in his mouth climbed directly up, bringing the relationship between the two closer.

"It's an accident that you actually call me sister."

She covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Then let me recommend a few books to my sister." "

Mohr seemed to know everything about the books in the large library, and just frowned and thought for a few seconds before making a list of books for Jiang Cha.

"These are some books that supplement common sense, and they are the lowest level of knowledge infestation, which is very suitable for you."

"Thank you so much."

'Librarians are hidden guys... This strange stereotype of common sense actually works in the witch world. '

The girl originally just held the idea of trying it and not losing money, but she didn't expect that this Miss Moore was really hidden.

To be able to recommend books to others should be at least read, and considering the number of books in the large library that cannot be seen at a glance...

Even if they are all low-grade extracurricular reading materials as supplementary knowledge, the infection contained in them is not something that ordinary witches can bear.

However, Jiang Cha did not think too much about the librarian's affairs, it is strange that the witch who can manage such an important place as the big library is not a sweeping monk, even if it is necessary to establish a good relationship, there is no need to rush for a while, for her what is urgently needed at present, is still common sense about the world.

With the help of guiding elves - the so-called elves actually have no fixed form, some are like ordinary animals, and some are just a ball of magic power.

They are interesting creatures with different personalities.

With the help of this little guy who looked like a thunderbolt elf, the girl successfully arrived at the seat that the system automatically assigned to her - it seems that considering that witches like to keep their privacy, the position will not be assigned to a place where there are people when they are very wealthy.

So quietly start reading.

'Memory is much faster than common sense. '

Twenty minutes, Jiang Cha put down the book in his hand.

With the help of the witch's super vision, she is not a problem to see one page at a time, and the witch's brain, greatly enhanced by inherent magic, can organize the memory of this knowledge verbatim into the memory attic.

The knowledge in it becomes nourishment, gradually becoming understanding, and building the foundation soil of the attic - that is, the girl's perception of the world.

In other words, it only took Jiang Cha twenty-one minutes to completely digest and absorb a book of tens of thousands of words, and this speed will be faster as she becomes more familiar with this reading method.

From the first book to the end of reading all the thirteen books on the list, Jiang Cha took two and a half hours.

This is already the limit.

And...

The real witch knowledge is more difficult to learn than she thought, the infection of knowledge is really not a simple matter, ordinary miscellaneous books are quite good, the pressure can hardly be felt, but will accumulate some fatigue compared to her physical energy.

But when she opened the witch textbook with a high concentration of knowledge, she finally realized what the so-called knowledge invasion was about.

With each new point of knowledge, the soft, black mist consumed her spirit.

It is impossible to resist, it cannot be stopped, and the process of reading knowledge can only be actively stopped before the mental limit is reached.

It's more like a curse than an infestation.

- a curse from knowledge itself.
