What's the fastest way to understand a world?

Yin Lai thought it was history.

History is not just a simple record of what happened in the past, but also carries all traces of the world's past, as well as changes in thoughts and appearance.

Yin Lai browsed "The Complete History of the Empire" and gained a deeper understanding of the world.

Of course, the deeper understanding is about the Byrne Empire.

Byrne Empire.

Located in an area south of the Dark Mountains and north of the Endless Sea, there are four principalities under the empire, namely the Frostwolf Principality, the Raging Lion Principality, the Elk Principality and the Giant Whale Principality.

The four principalities are located on the four sides of the empire, and are managed by the four dukes respectively. King's Landing is located in the center of the empire, managing the vast land of the vast empire, and coordinating the various marquis, earls, barons and viscounts, as well as other forces.

Each noble lord is managed independently, and the empire does not interfere too much. Therefore, although the empire is unified, wars are actually happening all the time.

There is even such a saying.

Every nobleman waged war with the king.

Of course, this is just a joke, but it can also reflect the current situation of this huge empire.

The "Complete History of the Empire" contains everything that happened in the empire from its establishment to its subsequent development, including details of each war and some major events that occurred in it.

But strangely, the name of the first king who established the kingdom was not written in it. Yin Lai was a little surprised, but he ignored it.

Yin Lai sat on a chair and read the book page by page.

He only read each page once. If you look at it from the perspective of others, you can see that Yin Lai seemed to be flipping through the book randomly, flipping through the book quickly without any memory.

But only Yin Lai knows that he really remembers it.

"It's so cool." Yin Lai had never felt like this before.

Ten lines in one glance plus photographic memory, this is how Yin Lai feels at this time.

Each word was imprinted into Yin Lai's brain, as if it was engraved in his brain and would never be forgotten again. He could clearly recall every word and every punctuation mark.

If Yin Lai had such memories in his previous life, there would be no chance for him to work overtime for more than a month. He should be the one who asked others to work overtime.

After reading the complete history of the empire for a while, Yin Lai closed it and put it aside, and opened "Heraldry of the Nobles" on the other side.

If the history of the empire is not only remembered in books and in the brains of past people, then there is one place where it is definitely condensed the most, and that is the coat of arms.

The coat of arms was initially just a badge representing family status, but as the empire developed, it was also imbued with a deeper meaning by the nobles and knights. In addition to representative symbols, the nobles would also engrave some symbols of historical significance.

Show family honor.

It can be said that a coat of arms is the condensed history of a noble family.

As far as he knew, the coats of arms of the four dukes were the frost wolf, the angry lion, the elk and the giant whale respectively.

There is also a king, who is said to be a violet. Therefore, the king's family is also called the violet family, which represents its supreme honor.

Therefore, heraldry has always been one of the most popular aspects of the empire, and is also called by the nobles of King's Landing as an elegant knowledge that only true nobles can master.

Of course this is just the rhetoric of nobles.

Yin Lai naturally won't take it too seriously, but he will still remember it. After all, his position determines what he has to do.

If he were in other countries, he might not even take a glance at it, but he still has to live here for a long time, and there are upcoming tests that Yin Lai must master.

"Hey, three days should be enough." Yin Lai lowered his head and looked at him to get four books.

These books are not independent of each other, and are all aspects of what the bachelor of Laimeng said.

"After mastering these, I will memorize dozens of books, and it should be no problem!" Yin Lai memorized each unique coat of arms while flipping through the history of the empire.

He didn't know how difficult the test was, so he could only go all out.

Time passes little by little.

Yin Lai was immersed in the book and completely forgot about time.

…

"Hey, is there anyone else here?"

Laimeng returned from the library with his books in his arms.

As a bachelor, he also took care of the consultation of some nobles. This was precisely why he went out just now. Not only did he just return after finishing his work, he saw that there was still light in the reading room that should have been closed.

"Some careless boy must have forgotten to turn off the light, right?" Bachelor Laimeng frowned.

He put the arranged books aside and walked towards the reading room, where he saw Yin Lai who was still reading with his head down.

"That boy during the day." Seeing some strange figures inside, Bachelor Laimeng thought of something.

Isn't this the boy who asked him what he was taking the exam for?

What are you doing! Reading!

He did seem to have said he would allow them to stay and read.

"But... this is called reading?" Bachelor Lai Meng's mouth twitched as he watched Yin Lai flip through the books quickly.

That speed is simply outrageous.

It’s all nonsense!

"Yin Lai? What are you doing?" As a veteran scholar, Bachelor Lai Meng finally couldn't stand Yin Lai's actions that seemed to blaspheme knowledge anymore, and he said angrily.

Hearing the sound, Yin Lai raised his head and saw Bachelor Laimeng with an angry face.

?

Yin Lai was a little confused, but looking at Bachelor Lai Meng who was slowly walking towards him, he said in an uncertain tone: "I'm reading... is there any problem?"

"Reading? You call that reading?" Bachelor Laimeng's mouth twitched.

One page per second, what do you call reading? What do you call scanning?

"I have been observing for half a minute. During this time, I saw you have been flipping through the book aimlessly. Yin Lai, I thought you were a good boy during the day, but you have disappointed me so much." Lai Meng.

The bachelor shook his head and looked at Yin Lai with a disappointed look in his eyes.

Ah this!

Yin Lai didn't expect that such a thing could happen, so he immediately said:

"Bachelor Laimeng, I was really memorizing just now, but I have already read the previous ones, so I flipped through them quickly."

There was no way, he couldn't say that he was really remembering.

"Huh, don't you remember everything before?" Bachelor Laimeng also realized that he was a little emotional, but he still asked: "I don't believe you can remember so much?"

"Remember." Yin Lai replied.

"Remember?" Lai Meng felt that his extinguished flame was burning again. He stared at Yin Lai and said, "Okay, then I will test you. If you can't answer the question, you don't need to take the test."

"Let me ask you, how many baronies are there in the empire?" Bachelor Lamont asked a question that he thought was very treacherous. After all, who would memorize the number of baronies?

"Two thousand two hundred and twenty-one." Yin Lai blurted out.

Laimeng:???

Is it so fast? At first glance, it is really two thousand two hundred and twenty-one.

Coincidence, it must be a coincidence.
