Chapter 2367: History Textbook

After leaving the Negative Energy Research Institute, Gelinqi still accompanied Xia Duo to stroll around Capital University for a while, and the two exchanged contact information, agreeing to meet again at Chixin University in three days.

By then, Gelinqi would take Xia Duo to visit his former mentors, among whom were bigwigs capable of swaying the review of advanced study applications, and these three days were the time left for Xia Duo to prepare for the "interview."

Chixin University was not easy to get into; even with Gelinqi's help, it was only a slightly better chance than that of an ordinary retired individual, and whether he could truly seize it depended on Xia Duo's own efforts.

……

Chixin University.

Under Gelinqi's arrangements, Xia Duo temporarily stayed at the school's guest house, after which Gelinqi left, and Xia Duo went straight to the Headquarters Library of Chixin University.

Gelinqi had already disclosed the content of the "interview" to him; this was not really a secret, but the key was that ordinary people would not even have the chance for an interview.

"It actually has to do with the high school entrance exam!"

Xia Duo was quite surprised when he first heard this news, but he soon realized that Chixin University's normal admissions were also aimed at high school graduates.

For someone like him who had finished Specialized College and then served in the military, most did not meet the conditions of a high school graduate during normal admissions; the first point was that he did not satisfy the requirement of being an Arcanist.

Secondly, it had to do with the foundation; being able to advance to an Arcanist by the age of 25 meant that one's foundation in all aspects before university was laid very firmly.

Wasn't the reason Maruente went to Specialized College because his foundation was weak, and he failed to advance to an Arcanist in one go!

Now, wanting to go to a university for advanced studies, an ordinary university might show some consideration for the status of an outstanding retired medal recipient and let him pass, but top-tier universities would likely not work that way.

Therefore, right now, Xia Duo needed to at least prove that he possessed the quality of a fresh high school graduate; of course, the more outstanding, the better, as this related to the choice of subsequent advanced study subjects.

After entering the library, Xia Duo headed straight for the section where textbooks were located according to the index prompts, finding the latest full set of high school textbooks, as well as some supplementary teaching materials.

These could also be traced back in Maruente's memories, but after all, they were not Xia Duo's own memories, and many contents had become somewhat blurred, making them difficult to trace.

Furthermore, nearly fifty years had passed since Maruente was in high school, and textbooks would have changes and updates; looking at the latest version would never be wrong.

"History class?"

In the reading room, the first thing Xia Duo noticed were three thick history books; although Gelinqi had hinted that history might not appear in the interview questions, Xia Duo was still very interested in how the Chixin Tribe had developed over these fifteen hundred years.

Previously, there were related memories in Maruente's memory, but except for remembering a few major events, the rest had been forgotten by him completely.

Not to mention that even for major events, different people's understandings were different; Xia Duo wanted to read for himself what the history described in the student textbooks was actually like.

Opening the first page of the book and seeing a silhouette of an Elf with two horns on his head, Xia Duo could not help but smile knowingly; wasn't this the image he had in his previous projection!

The first leader of the Chixin Tribe, Maruen!

The history textbook written for high school students was no longer just the history of the Chixin Tribe, but also the history of other countries in the Northland, and even a comparison of major events in different countries during the same period.

In the first-year textbook, Xia Duo saw descriptions of the first leader and the first Executive of the Chixin Tribe working arduously to open up a New Homeland; many things he had just experienced not long ago had now become history on paper.

Xia Duo truly had a feeling of being in another world; it was not just a feeling, but that he had indeed traveled through fifteen hundred years of time!

"Eh—it's that child!"

When seeing the description on one of the pages, Xia Duo could not help but stop his hand from turning the page; at this moment, the book was writing about the first newborn of the Chixin Tribe whom he had personally delivered, who later actually became an Executive.

After stepping down from the Executive position, he had been engaged in research and teaching work, and the most critical thing was—that guy had actually served as the president of Chixin University, and even now was still the honorary president.

Still alive!

This was truly a wonderful coincidence!

However, Xia Duo did not think about going to acknowledge the other party; there was no need, and it was too dangerous. Now, this Chixin Tribe was no longer the simple situation of the past where one could see the end at a glance; there were many things he could not even understand at all.

The water in here was too deep; he felt he could not grasp it.

It was better to follow the original plan: first obtain the Advanced Permission Level reserved previously, get as much of the harvest sown previously as possible, and then leave silently.

……

According to the high school history textbook, in the fifth year after the Chixin Tribe established the nation and set up the system, which was two years after Xia Duo left his previous projection, the Akaola Kingdom in the Listar Forest was established.

After that, the Northland spent a relatively long period of peace for the Chixin Tribe, about three hundred years, and Siluwende was established, because Xia Duo had occupied the land corresponding to Siluwende in the Main Plane in order to build a New Homeland for the Demon Descendant during his previous projection.

Siluwende in this Projection Plane still took a fancy to that piece of land; after all, that land was the old home of Aryvandaar, and there were many ruins within it; even if it were archaeology, one could excavate a powerful country.

With the support of the Evereska Alliance and Akaola, Siluwende launched a war against the Chixin Tribe; the reason was quite ridiculous—the Siluwende side merely brought out an Aryvandaar Noble and claimed that this piece of land where the Chixin Tribe was located belonged to them.

This was obviously not recognized by the Chixin Tribe; furthermore, Aryvandaar had already been overturned and had lost the legitimacy of rule; what qualifications did a mere old Noble have to claim that the territory belonged to them.

Thus, the war happened without any surprise, and this war lasted for nearly four hundred years.

And during these four hundred years, Jielunsita, Wuweilun, Saibohomu, Aotelaisi, and Saladesi were established one after another, and the alliance between the Chixin Tribe and Yiner was also formed during this period.

This war was called the "War of Founding" in the history books of the Chixin Tribe, and it was called the "War of Covenant" in the history of the Alliance.

It was also because of this protracted war that the entire Northland gradually formed a pattern of three major camps, among which many details were not recorded in the high school textbooks, but there was a relatively detailed description regarding the end of this war—

The evil Evereska Alliance failed one after another in multiple battles, and there was public resentment within the Alliance; among them, the initiator of the war—Siluwende—even experienced a coup, and it was that coup that completely changed the direction of the war.

It was just that the two sides had been fighting for a long time, and the hatred had long been hidden deep in their hearts; neither side was willing to take the initiative to propose a ceasefire. In the end, it was the three countries of Wuweilun, Saibohomu, and Saladesi, who were worried about being implicated in the war, that came forward, and under their mediation, the two sides stopped fighting.

But it was only a ceasefire; theoretically, the two sides were still in a state of war.
