The Grude Royal Library is the largest library in Eastern Brobdingnag. To enter, there are no identity restrictions, but a silver coin is required, which is not something most people are willing to spend. Therefore, the library is usually not very crowded.
Pirus got off the carriage and casually tossed a silver coin into the hand of the attendant, then told the coachman behind him, "Wait for me outside!"
Inside the Grude Royal Library, the collection is extensive, encompassing the entire recorded history of Brobdingnag, including events related to Brobdingnag the Eleventh.
After asking a silver-haired girl at the front desk, she pointed upwards: "Third floor, third shelf on the left. You can find it on the top layer. There’s a ladder at the entrance, but why do you need this? This material has been prohibited for research for a long time, and most of the truth has been destroyed. What is recorded now is based on later people's memories, so its authenticity cannot be fully guaranteed!"
"My mentor will test me on history later, and this period is very important, so I wanted to come and check some materials!" Pirus nodded politely and then hurried up the stairs, his small backpack bouncing with each step.
Only Bai Yujing and Shen Fei accompanied him; everyone else stayed in Pirus's room. After all, hiding five or six people in Pirus's backpack would be easily discovered, and there was no need for that many people to come along this time!
"What should we do, teacher?" Pirus quietly asked Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing immediately replied, "It's okay; we can start from the beginning and look things up slowly. How did your Meditation Method practice go yesterday?"
"I stood for two hours but had to take breaks several times. I'm sorry, teacher; I didn't meet your expectations!" Pirus said with some embarrassment.
Bai Yujing knew that when Pirus got up this morning, his legs were a bit unsteady. It was Bai Yujing who taught him some massage techniques that helped him feel much better: "Practice requires perseverance; you can't fish for three days and sunbathe for two. When you go back, strengthen your routine—two hours of Meditation Method every morning and one hour of martial arts practice!"
After reaching the third floor, Pirus quickly bounced around until he found the book he wanted and pulled it out immediately. Bai Yujing then asked him to find a few more books to put in his backpack. Bai Yujing and Shen Fei hid in a small compartment of the backpack, afraid that Pirus would discover them.
In the following days, Pirus woke up early every day to study the Diamond Star Fist that Bai Yujing taught him. Meanwhile, Bai Yujing stayed in Pirus's room while he went to school, reviewing books borrowed from the library that were placed on the table.
Gradually, after going through some historical records and general analyses, Bai Yujing gained a comprehensive understanding of what happened during the time of Brobdingnag the Eleventh. Lemuel Gulliver likely arrived here when King Brobdingnag the Eleventh was thirty-six years old.
The location where they landed at that time should have been similar to where they were, but with a slight deviation; it was in Shenait City. When they arrived here, apart from Lemuel Gulliver, there were two other people. However, these two seemed to have died while resisting the capital of Brobdingnag, Robrugrud, leaving only one person remaining: Lemuel Gulliver!
At that time, Lemuel Gulliver was contained in a small transparent bottle and presented to King Brobdingnag the Eleventh. Thus, he was referred to as the little man in the bottle or the demon in the bottle. At that moment, Lemuel Gulliver offered the king a series of reform measures regarding the military and politics, as well as how to control others and balance the power of the entire nation through political means and a bit of cunning.
The king of Giant Country was astonished by Lemuel Gulliver's words. Later, during the reforms, he integrated the fragmented nation caused by the feudal system. Many feudal nobles were very dissatisfied with the king's actions toward centralization and united with the prince at that time to overthrow Brobdingnag the Eleventh's rule. They discredited Lemuel Gulliver's words and actions, claiming that Brobdingnag the Eleventh had been bewitched by a demon, which led everyone to unite against him.
As for Lemuel Gulliver, when Brobdingnag the Eleventh was thirty-eight years old, which was two years later, he crafted a small airship with the help of artisans and departed from Blood Duke Castle in Shenait City, leaving Brobdingnag behind!
The subsequent records became somewhat chaotic; it seemed that later someone spotted Lemuel Gulliver's shadow in Shenait City along with many absurd legends involving wizards and demons among other rumors.
"I must go to Blood Duke Castle," Bai Yujing confirmed his next target after borrowing books from the library again.
"Ah! It's you again, Pirus! What a narrow path for enemies! You said in school that one day you would make me pay and that you would defeat me. Such arrogance! This time I wonder who can save you; you're doomed!" Looking up, he saw a Little Fatty blocking Pirus's way at the alley entrance. Behind Little Fatty were two others: one tall and thin and another short-legged Bowl Cut.
Today Pirus came over right after class without bringing his coachman and unexpectedly ran into this group of 'enemies,' which made him feel scared and panicked as he immediately looked around!
Bai Yujing quickly said, "Don't panic, Pirus. You are not the same as before; you can defeat them. Just do as I say; there will be no problem!"
Pirus still felt somewhat timid: "But teacher, there are three of them!"
At that moment, Little Fatty had already grinned maliciously as he approached and shouted, "Get him!"
The tall and thin one rushed to Pirus first, swinging his fist toward Pirus's face. Bai Yujing immediately shouted, "Duck down and kick his leg!"
Pirus had become somewhat accustomed to Bai Yujing's commands and trusted his teacher, Bai, immensely. The moment Bai Yujing spoke, Pirus's body seemed to mechanically follow his instructions. After crouching down and sweeping his leg, he saw a tall, thin individual throw a punch that missed. The immense force caused the person to lose balance, and Pirus tripped him, sending him crashing against the wall with a loud thud that made everyone wince in pain.
"What? You dare to resist!" the chubby one shouted angrily as he charged forward. Bai Yujing yelled, "Block, right fist, don't extend your punch too far, keep your fist loose!"
Pirus immediately blocked the chubby one's kick and countered with a punch to his nose. Although Pirus had not yet mastered the explosive power of inch strength, he had learned some techniques over the past few days. His strength may not have been great, but he combined his waist and legs to channel his power throughout his body, causing the chubby one to bleed from his nose and scream as he fell to the ground.
This success boosted Pirus's confidence. The Bowl Cut, seeing how fierce Pirus was, began to retreat. Pirus quickly charged at him, grabbing his shoulder. Bowl Cut turned around and threw a punch, but Pirus used the method Bai Yujing had taught him to grab Bowl Cut's hand and flipped him onto the ground, rendering him unable to move.
"How about it? Do you dare bully me again?"
"I won't! Pirus, we were wrong!" Bowl Cut cried out as his hand was twisted behind him in pain.
After releasing him, Pirus noticed the other two slowly getting up from the ground, looking at him in terror. The three of them hurriedly fled the alley, which made Pirus feel extremely proud. "Teacher, this Diamond Star Fist is indeed powerful!"
"Hmph, what do you mean powerful? It's simply embarrassing. Until you cultivate your Fighting Spirit, you have only just begun. You can barely unleash even one ten-thousandth of this technique's power!" Bai Yujing immediately replied.
Pirus lowered his head; indeed, after practicing for so many days, he hadn't even activated his Fighting Spirit. Compared to that senior who activated their Fighting Spirit in three days, he was far behind. Pirus quickly set aside his pride but felt elated for having defeated his nemesis; it felt as if he were walking on air.
"By the way, I believe Blood Duke Castle in Shenait City is likely where Lemuel Gulliver will descend. We need to go check it out in advance; prepare here and choose a time to set off!"
"Yes, teacher!"
