"Memory Palace?"
"Mental cultivation method?"
Charle raised his eyebrows, a look of surprise in his eyes.
This palace in his spiritual world was the product of Deep Blue's second deduction of Occlumency, a so-called mental cultivation method?
However, apart from the further improvement in his Occlumency skills during the second deduction process, Charle hadn't felt any immediate changes.
How did this so-called Memory Palace enhance his spirit?
At this moment, Deep Blue's mechanical explanation sounded.
"Endless knowledge nurtures infinite spirit. Knowledge is the food of the spirit."
"The host can store the knowledge they have mastered in the Memory Palace. Once stored, any Obliviation Charm will find it difficult to affect this part of the knowledge."
"Even if the host falls completely into madness, this knowledge will still be imprinted in the soul, never to be forgotten."
"The more knowledge stored in the Memory Palace, the larger its area will become, and the host's spirit will also be nourished, becoming more resilient and powerful..."
Listening to Deep Blue's explanation, Charle understood the principle behind the Memory Palace's enhancement of the spirit.
It was like a saying he had heard in his previous life – Poetry and books in the belly make one naturally refined.
The more poetry and books one read, the more extraordinary their temperament would naturally become, and this so-called temperament was actually a manifestation of the spirit.
Reading and learning could increase one's spirit. This was a consensus in both the Muggle world and the wizarding world.
The Memory Palace essentially visualized this process, while also making it more efficient.
Every time Charle finished a book or learned a bit of knowledge and stored it in the Memory Palace, he could directly see the progress of his spirit becoming stronger.
At this moment, Charle could see that the Memory Palace already contained a lot of the knowledge he had mastered.
For example, Animagus Transformation, Dragon Language Magic, Lumos spell, and so on.
Charle nodded and sighed.
"Knowledge is power. The ancients truly did not deceive me."
"It seems there's another reason to go to the Hogwarts library."
"If I could put all the magic books accumulated there over a thousand years into my Memory Palace, my spirit would probably grow to a terrifying level."
"Hogwarts, a treasure trove filled with treasures everywhere!"
However, although Charle hadn't reached Hogwarts yet, he had several boxes of books bought from Flourish and Blotts with him.
Just filling these into the Memory Palace would surely allow Charle's spirit to make significant progress.
Immediately, Charle randomly pulled out a copy of Practical Spell Thirty Articles from his bag and started reading.
In the state of Occlumency, Charle's reading efficiency was extremely high, without any distracting thoughts, much like the feeling of secretly reading novels under the covers when he was a student in his previous life.
Accompanied by the rustling sound of turning pages, after a while, Charle finished reading Practical Spell Thirty Articles carefully.
With his current level of magic, he naturally understood the Cleaning Charm, Repairing Charm, and other spells recorded within at first glance.
In the Memory Palace in his spiritual world, another copy of Practical Spell Thirty Articles appeared.
Charle placed it in the Memory Palace for storage. The next moment, under Charle's careful perception, his spirit seemed to have subtly strengthened by a trace.
Charle frowned and checked the time in reality.
Even with his learning speed, it took him over an hour to finish reading Practical Spell Thirty Articles, which wasn't a long book to begin with.
If it were a large volume like Transfiguration, such as Transfiguration: From Introduction to Interment which Charle had read before, even just flipping through the pages would take five or six hours.
At this rate, when would he be able to empty the Hogwarts library?
Decades, even a hundred years, might not be enough!
Charle sighed.
"Indeed, honestly reading books is still not the way."
"I still have to cheat!"
He took out another magic book, waved his wand, and made the pages start flipping quickly.
With the eyesight of an ordinary young wizard, they probably wouldn't even be able to see the words under such rapid page-flipping.
But due to the influence of his ancient dragon form, Charle's physical fitness in his wizard form was ridiculously strong, and his eyesight was also greatly enhanced. At this speed, he could completely scan the text.
In less than half a minute, Charle had flipped through a book.
Then, Charle said to Deep Blue in his mind.
"Deep Blue, deduce it for me and let me directly master the knowledge in this book. It doesn't need to reach the point of being able to cast it instinctively, as long as it counts as me having learned it. How many points would that roughly require?"
After a moment, Deep Blue's reply sounded.
"Since the host already possesses a certain level of accumulated magical knowledge, and only needs to master the knowledge without requiring additional deduction..."
"Achieving this requirement will cost 100 deduction points."
Charle calculated. One hundred points for one book, one million points for ten thousand books.
A million points, unless invested in an area that directly addresses his shortcomings, like Occlumency, wouldn't significantly improve him right now.
But using them to master this knowledge and fill his Memory Palace could genuinely strengthen his mind. This investment and return seemed more stable.
As for the process not being him learning it himself but Deep Blue helping, if he were still a teenager from his previous life, Charle might feel a bit uncomfortable, feeling like the results weren't earned through his own effort and feeling uneasy about it.
But now, Charle just wanted to say, Effort, my ass! What's effort good for?
Not using a cheat? That would be stupid!
So Charle didn't hesitate for a moment.
"Deduce, deduce it all for me!"
He waved his wand, and one magic book after another flew out of his trunk, hovering in the compartment.
The ceiling, the walls, behind the door, the windows...
Every empty space was filled with books whose pages were constantly turning.
Charle's gaze swept around, and a dizzying amount of text flooded into his vision, then was converted by Deep Blue into knowledge Charle had mastered.
In his mental world, within his Memory Palace, book after book fell like rain, being filled into Charle's Memory Palace.
Ten books, twenty books, fifty books...
A hundred books, two hundred books...
As Charle continuously filled his Memory Palace with knowledge, the previously imperceptible mental improvement finally became significant.
Charle was immersed in this process, almost forgetting the passage of time.
It wasn't until the Hogwarts Express stopped at the platform, and the loud whistle broke through the soundproofing spell Charle had casually cast earlier, that the tide of excited screams from the carriage corridor surged in.
There was a knocking sound at the compartment door, accompanied by the reminder from the Hogwarts Express conductor.
"Please, young wizards, change into your school uniforms and prepare to head to Hogwarts. Do not remain on the train!"
Only then did Charle snap back to reality.
"Hogwarts is here?"
At this moment, Charle took a deep breath, a very strange look in his eyes.
The world before him seemed to have had the dirt wiped away, and from now on, it was completely different!
