Until one day half a month later, a major event occurred in the school city that caused the sky to collapse.
Early that morning, Lin En entered the school city at the right time as usual.
But as soon as I came in today, I found that the whole school city seemed to be in a boiling pot. Everyone's face looked as if their family was ruined and they were extremely desperate!
After a little inquiry, I found out that the core of the academic city, since the establishment of the academic city, is the countless books accumulated by countless outstanding scholars and sages of the past generations over thousands of years.
All gone!
Overnight!
Both the trainee bachelors and the Ph.D.s in the city all looked broken and despairing!
"A killer with a thousand swords!"
"The end, this is the end!"
"Ah! Damn thieves, they even stole the books I put on my bedside!"
"They even stole the library's bookshelves and lights!"
Lin En curled her lips and thought to herself,
"A matter for scholars!"
Then he shouted with a look of despair:
"It's over! I just came here! I haven't become a bachelor yet!"
Such a devastating event occurred in the school city. The lords of Old Town, the Hightower family, blocked all the entrances and exits of Old Town at an extremely fast speed, and no ship was allowed to leave the harbor dock.
The Old Town garrison searched everywhere like crazy. Everyone was ordered to stay at home and were not allowed to go out in broad daylight! They searched house to house.
Even the inn where Lin En lived was searched nine times in one day.
The garrison even pursued him outside the city and along the avenue for two hundred miles.
The Hightower family even sent warships to chase all the merchant ships that left the port yesterday.
To say that the noise of the wind, the roar of the cranes, the roar of the grass and trees, and the soldiers are all insignificant.
These days, anyone who has the slightest suspicion will be arrested first and tortured.
That is to say, Lin En was personally introduced by the Duke, and his whereabouts have always been very stable and can be traced, otherwise he would also be a key suspect.
In the past few days, he went to the school to watch plays every day, no, to sigh!
Sitting in the empty library with everyone, I feel like crying without tears!
After a few days, he felt that if he had the skill of acting, he would definitely be able to advance several levels!
These maesters are indeed desperate,
No matter how smart or knowledgeable a person is, how many books can he memorize? And there are more than tens of millions of books lost!
The total number of bachelors in the city is only one hundred, including seven or eight doctors! Even if they exhaust themselves to death, how much content can they write?
How to study without books?
Maybe they can still tame ravens and train bachelors, but if they still want to train countless talents with excellent knowledge and talents as before, it will be much more difficult!
In a word,
The foundation of the school city is empty!
In desperation, the school city issued a request, hoping that all bachelors from all over the country would collect all the books they could collect and send them back to the school city to reorganize and fill the big library.
But I also wonder how many books there are among the people. Even if there are, they are all short stories, biographies and the like.
There are very few books with real academic value and research value!
Doing this is really a helpless move.
In a big city like Oldtown, the blockade cannot last forever. After ten days of frantic searching with no results, we had to face the apparent blockade.
The city reopened, some of the bachelors and novices left, and some stayed.
Lin En was the one who was leaving. The reason he came to the academy was to look for a cure for greyscale disease. He encountered this kind of thing just a few days after arriving. There was really no reason to stay.
And there is no one to keep an unpopular person like him.
Before leaving, he found Fat Sam,
"Sam, what are you going to do?"
Sam was also desperate. He had only been here for two or three months. In addition to carrying excrement, urine and food every day, he also moved books with the professor, leaving very little time to study.
Since arriving in the school city, apart from saving a greyscale patient, I have learned almost nothing.
It's okay now. The school city he longed for has become like this. He is at a loss for a while and doesn't know what to do.
After thinking for a long time, Sam replied to Lynn:
"I'd better stay for a while. The doctors are nice to me. Even if the book is gone, I can still study with them and learn at least two courses."
After Lin En understood his wishes, she did not dissuade him, said goodbye and left.
When I walked out of the city gate, I turned back three times and looked at the city library in the distance, as if I was extremely reluctant to leave!
"Fill it in slowly! I will definitely come back!"
…
After Lin En left the city, he came to the dock, found a merchant ship and booked a first-class cabin. He took the sea route all the way to the prosperous Sunspear City, and then disappeared without a trace!
He did this to make his whereabouts traceable and to remove suspicion. He did not believe that the city would have no doubts about him. The reason why he disembarked in Sunspear City was not to frame the fault, absolutely not!
Linn, who quietly returned to Storm's End Castle, announced that a new school would be built in the city close to Storm's End Castle. The new school would be called Storm's End Castle University.
The initial plan was to enroll two hundred students, and the school originally located in the church was renamed Storm's End Primary School, with a four-year schooling system.
Students who graduate from primary school will have two options to choose from after swearing allegiance to Duke Lynn. One is to serve in the municipal administration of various cities, and the other is to continue studying at a university.
At the same time, a lot of money is spent to recruit teachers. After passing the personal assessment of the Duke, they will teach in the university.
Moreover, Duke Linn has also issued a reward. In order to fill the newly built library of the university, Storm's End will spend a lot of money to ask for books!
Anyone can come to the university with any book, and as long as it is deemed valuable after appraisal, they can receive a gold coin reward that far exceeds the face value.
The construction of the university is proceeding at a rapid pace, and Linn is having dinner with Little Rose at Storm's End.
"The city library was stolen. Does it have anything to do with you?"
Linn denied it, "I didn't, don't talk nonsense, it's none of my business!"
Little Rose rolled her eyes at him: "Go ahead and lie to ghosts! You bad guy, the thief of Green Valley City, you need five hundred kilograms of fodder in one meal!"
As she spoke, she giggled to herself,
"Why are you so happy that the city's library was stolen?" Lin En asked in confusion.
Little Rose smiled and explained: "Although Highgarden is the nominal lord of the Reach, do you think all the lords of the Reach listen to us?"
It turns out that Aegon the Conqueror led his army deep into the Reach, and the entire royal family of the Reach Kingdom was killed. The Tyrell family, the High Steward of Highgarden at the time and the acting lord of the city, surrendered to Aegon. In return, Aegon surrendered Highgarden Castle.
The ruling power of the Reach region was given to the Tyrell family. However, other families with nobler bloodlines and stronger strength only obeyed superficially.
Among them are the Hightower family, which rules Oldtown, and the powerful Tarly family of Hornhill.
Therefore, the Rose family is very happy to see the consequences of the school city's misfortune!
