Hogwarts: My Spell Infinite Derivation

Chapter 79 Knowledge is Spirit, Arrival at Hogwarts!

"Memory palace?"

"A method of spiritual cultivation?"

Charles raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise in his eyes.

This palace in my mental world is the product of Deep Blue's second brain-closing surgery, the so-called mental cultivation method.

Aside from his improved mastery of the brain-sealing technique during the second deduction process, Charles did not experience any immediate changes.

How does this so-called memory palace enhance mental well-being?

At that moment, Deep Blue also gave a mechanical explanation.

"Endless knowledge nurtures an infinite spirit; knowledge is the food of the spirit."

"The host can store the knowledge they have acquired in the memory palace. Once stored, this knowledge will be difficult to be affected by any forgetting spell."

Even if the host falls into complete madness, this knowledge will still be imprinted in the soul and never be forgotten.

"The more knowledge stored in the memory palace, the larger its area will become, and the host's spirit will be nourished, becoming more resilient and powerful..."

After listening to Deep Blue's explanation, Ciel understood the principle behind the memory palace's ability to enhance mental strength.

Just like a saying he had heard in his past life—"A person with a wealth of knowledge naturally exudes elegance."

The more one reads poetry and books, the more one's temperament naturally becomes extraordinary, and this so-called temperament is actually a manifestation of one's spirit.

Reading and learning can enhance one's spirituality; this is a consensus in both the Muggle and magical worlds.

The memory palace essentially visualizes this process, while also being more efficient.

Every time Shire finishes reading a book or learns something, he stores it in his memory palace, where he can visually see the progress of his mental growth.

At this moment, Ciel could see that the memory palace already contained a great deal of knowledge that he had acquired.

For example, Animagus Transfiguration, Dragon Language Magic, Glowing Charm, etc.

Charles nodded and sighed.

"Knowledge is power; the ancients were right."

"Looks like I have another reason to go to the Hogwarts Library."

"If I were to store all the magic books accumulated over thousands of years into my memory palace, my mental capacity would probably grow to a terrifying level."

"Hogwarts, a treasure trove!"

Although Shire had not yet arrived at Hogwarts, he had several boxes of books he had bought from Flourish and Blotts.

Simply filling these memories into the memory palace would surely allow Ciel's mind to make great progress.

Immediately, Charles pulled out a book titled "Thirty Practical Spells" from his bag and began to read it.

Under the effects of the brain-blocking technique, Ciel read with extremely high efficiency, without a single distracting thought, much like the immersive feeling he had when he secretly read novels under the covers during his school days in his previous life.

With the rustling of pages turning, half a day later, Charles finished reading "Thirty Practical Spells" carefully.

With his current level of magic, he could easily learn the cleaning and repair spells recorded here at a glance.

In the memory palace of the spiritual world, a new book, "Thirty Practical Spells," has also been added.

Charles placed it in his memory palace for safekeeping. The next moment, as Charles carefully sensed it, his spirit seemed to have been subtly strengthened.

Charles frowned and checked the time in reality.

Even at his learning speed, it took him a little over an hour to finish reading the already short "Thirty Practical Spells".

If this were a lengthy book on Transfiguration, like "Transfiguration from Beginner to Tomb" that Ciel once read, it would take five or six hours just to flip through the pages.

At this rate, when will they ever be able to empty the Hogwarts Library?

It probably won't work even in a few decades or a hundred years!

Charles sighed.

"As expected, simply reading books won't get you anywhere."

"I still have to cheat!"

He then took out a magic book, waved his wand, and made the pages turn rapidly.

With the eyesight of an ordinary young wizard, he probably wouldn't even be able to see the words clearly at such rapid page turning.

However, due to the influence of his ancient dragon form, Shire's physical abilities in his wizard form were ridiculously strong, and his eyesight was also greatly enhanced. He was able to scan the handwriting completely at this speed.

In less than half a minute, Charles had flipped through the entire book.

Then, Charles spoke to Deep Blue in his mind.

"Deep Blue, you can deduce the knowledge in this book and let me master it directly. It doesn't need to be to the point of instinct; just count it as me learning it. How many points would that cost?"

A moment later, Deep Blue responded.

"Since the host already possesses a certain level of magical knowledge, and only needs to acquire that knowledge, no further deductions are required..."

"100 deduction points are needed to achieve this requirement."

Charles did the math: one hundred books, ten thousand books would only amount to one million.

With one million points, unless you invest them in areas like brain surgery that can address your weaknesses, there's not much improvement you can expect.

However, using this knowledge to fill one's memory palace can genuinely enhance one's mental state, and the input and output seem to be more stable.

As for the fact that he didn't learn the skills himself but was helped by Deep Blue, if he were still a teenager in his previous life, he might feel a little uncomfortable, feeling that the results were not achieved through his own efforts, and he would feel uneasy.

But now, all Xia Er wants to say is, to hell with effort, what good is effort anyway?

If you have a cheat code and don't use it, you're an idiot!

So Charles didn't hesitate at all.

"Deductive reasoning, give me all the deductive reasoning!"

He waved his wand, and one magical book after another flew out of the box and hovered in the carriage.

Ceiling, walls, behind doors, windows...

Every gap was filled with books whose pages were constantly being turned.

Charles's gaze swept across the scene, and a dizzying amount of text flooded his field of vision, which was then transformed by Deep Blue into knowledge that Charles had mastered.

In his mental world, within his memory palace, one book after another fell like raindrops, filling the palace with Ciel's memories.

Ten books, twenty books, fifty books...

One hundred books, two hundred books...

As Ciel continued to fill his memory palace with knowledge, his previously imperceptible mental enhancement finally became significant.

Charles was so engrossed in the process that he almost forgot about time.

As soon as the Hogwarts Express pulled into the station, the loud whistle broke through the soundproofing spell that Shire had casually set up, and excited screams surged through the aisles of the carriages.

A knocking sound came from the carriage door, accompanied by a reminder from the Hogwarts Express conductor.

"Young wizards, please change into your school uniforms and prepare to head to Hogwarts. Do not linger on the train!"

Charles then came to his senses.

"Have we arrived at Hogwarts?"

At this moment, Charles took a deep breath, a very strange look appearing in his eyes.

The world before my eyes seems to have been wiped clean of dirt, and is completely different from now on!
