Chapter 1181 The Library Is a Good Place

The supreme ruler of the North is called Ed Stark.

Gu Ding looked up at the banner at the gate of the city, on which was a silver-gray wolf.

"That's a direwolf. Only the northern region of the entire continent has this kind of wolf. It is huge, about the size of a male lion. In the northern region, this kind of animal is at the top of the biological chain. They are not only powerful in individual combat, but also good at teamwork. , the sense of ethnicity is very high. This should be why the Lord Lord's family uses it as a family emblem."

Noticing the direction of Guding's gaze, the blacksmith explained.

Gu Ding could tell that even a blacksmith who had a bad face to everyone still respected the king of the north.

It had been three days since the two of them arrived in Winterfell, and the blacksmith had also found a place in the city to settle down. He hadn't been idle for the past few days, and he planned to reopen the blacksmith shop.

Gu Ding was only less than six years old, and he also knew that it would be difficult for him to survive without the blacksmith.

In the past few days after arriving in Winterfell, besides helping the blacksmith, he often chatted with some refugees nearby, and learned a lot of information about Winterfell from them.

He also found out that in the northeast of Winterfell, there is a library tower built by the Stark family, which is open to everyone for free.

However, most of the library towers are entered and exited by nobles, and there are almost no civilians. Not for other reasons, but ordinary civilians seldom read and write. Education in this world is not very popular, only nobles can get the opportunity of education. Even rich merchants are far inferior to nobles, so many rich people are willing to pay a high price for a noble title with little real power.

In addition to the library tower, another place with a large number of books is the bachelor's tower, which is located in the southwest corner of Winterfell. But only bachelors can enter and exit here, and there are even soldiers guarding the door with spears.

And a bachelor is not an ordinary title, one must be proficient in at least one subject, pass a special assessment, and get a bachelor necklace to be called a bachelor.

Guding naturally gave up the choice of the bachelor's tower at the first time, and after saying hello to the blacksmith, he went straight to the library tower.

The blacksmith's shop was not open, and there was no time to take care of Guding. In his opinion, it is normal for children to be excited when they change to a new environment. He was not afraid of Guding being lost, he knew that Guding was much smarter than ordinary children.

The area of ​​Winterfell is small, and Guding arrived at the Tower of Books in about half an hour.

Seeing that all the boys and girls in gorgeous clothes came in and out, Gu Ding didn't care at all, and walked directly into the library tower.

On the left side of the entrance of the library tower is a woman in her forties who seems to be the administrator here.

There are many people reading in the library tower, but it is silent.

"Madam, I want to learn how to read. What book should I read?" Gu Ding stood in front of the woman's desk with his feet on his feet. He was not as tall as the desk, and even with his feet on his feet, he only showed a pair of eyes.

Hearing Gu Ding's voice, many young people in the library tower looked towards him.

Seeing Gu Ding's clothes covered with patches, many people were a little surprised, and a few people showed contemptuous expressions.

The woman who was looking down at the book was taken aback for a moment, then looked towards Gu Ding and found that it was a little doll. She was about to ask whose child it was, when she suddenly saw the patch on Guding's clothes, and realized that Guding was a commoner. He immediately changed his tune and asked, "How old are you?"

"Six years old." Gu Ding grinned.

"Want to learn to read?" The woman smiled. She is a female bachelor, and she is very happy to see children who are eager to learn.

"Well, can you tell me which book I should start reading?" Gu Ding nodded very seriously.

"If it's just for character recognition, you can start with the "Common Dictionary", which contains more than 5,000 most commonly used words." The female bachelor said, beckoning to Gu Ding, "Come with me!"

The female bachelor led Guding to a bookshelf, took out a book, and handed it to Guding.

"Find yourself a place to sit and watch. If you really want to learn, stay later at lunchtime,

I will teach you pronunciation. "The female bachelor said to Gu Ding, "Also, the book can't be taken away, it can only be read here. After looking good, put it on my desk, and I will organize it when the time comes. "

"Thank you ma'am!" Gu Ding grinned with a sunny smile. He didn't expect to meet another good man.

Gu Ding looked around, found an empty table and sat down, flipping through the "Common Dictionary".

Looking across the first page, Gu Ding only took a moment, and then turned to the second page, followed by the third page, and the fourth page...

In less than a minute, I finished reading a "Common Dictionary" with more than 300 pages.

"I actually memorized all the contents of this book..." Gu Ding himself was a little surprised. Although he didn't understand the words of this world at all, he clearly memorized the writing of all the words. It's just that he doesn't know how to pronounce these words or what their meanings are.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Ding stood up and walked towards the bookshelf just now.

The boys and girls sitting next to him all looked towards him, and they all had a question in their hearts, "What is this illiterate kid going to do?"

Gu Ding glanced over the bookshelf, and soon landed on the thickest book on the right side of the top shelf. He guessed that it should be a complete dictionary, because there is a word on the spine that is the same as the one that the lady gave him before.

Gu Ding climbed up the bookshelf vigorously, pulled out the book, and then landed on the ground without making a sound.

Holding the heavy book with more than 8,000 pages in his arms, Guding returned to his previous seat and began to flip through it quickly.

As soon as he opened the first page, Guding knew he had found the right one, because the format of this book was almost exactly the same as the previous one. He immediately flipped through the pages and wrote down everything.

Seeing him flipping through the book, the boys and girls next to him thought he was just flipping through the book for fun, and they stopped paying attention to him.

It was almost time for lunch, and the 8,000-page dictionary was also read by Gu Ding.

The other teenagers in the library tower left one after another, and the female bachelor also walked towards Gu Ding, and was about to ask Gu Ding how he was reading, when he suddenly saw the big dictionary.

"Who gave you this book?"

"I don't know, I already had it when I was sitting here." Gu Ding didn't tell the truth, and he was also afraid that the female bachelor would not teach himself because of his random flipping.

The female bachelor frowned, but didn't say much. He took the large dictionary aside, sat next to Gu Ding, spread a piece of yellowed paper on the table, and started writing on the paper with a pen made of an unknown feather.

"I'll teach you basic pronunciation first..." (To be continued.)
