The main structure of the Hall of Mind is a lakeside library.
The surface of the lake is calm, and the water is pure and clear, reflecting the library in its depths.
The library's reflection beneath the lake holds all the true memories, including those of the past life, the existence of the Krypton Card Drawing System, and the traces of the Mind Closure Technique itself.
What is left in the actual library, however, are the life experiences of the original body and the behaviors and thoughts of Link, the blacksmith's son from a remote island, after his spirit crossed over.
Anything that could reveal Link as a transmigrator is carefully hidden by him beneath the reflection in the lake.
After constructing the Hall of Mind, Link discovered an additional benefit: he now has an eidetic memory.
Well...to be exact, as long as Link categorizes and stores all of his daily experiences in the library in a timely manner, he can remember all the images he has seen, the sounds he has heard, the textures of objects he has touched, and the smells he has encountered.
Furthermore, since Link has practiced the Mind Closure Technique to the highest level, he doesn't need to worry about his brain being overloaded by an excess of stored memories.
In short, the Mind Closure Technique is wonderful - anyone who uses it will understand its benefits!
...
Five days passed.
The White Sail arrived at the main continent, docking at a pier at Manham Harbor, Tudor region, on the west coast.
Link finally saw Wizard Palo again.
However, he only caught a brief glimpse of him. From afar, Link saw Wizard Palo and a few other wizards disembark from the ship early, board a small aircraft docked at the harbor pier, and fly off to an unknown destination.
Yes, an aircraft, a very beautiful aircraft. It was far more beautiful than any of the futuristic fighter planes that Link had ever seen in images online back in his previous world.
Its smooth lines, stunning design, and elegant posture all deeply fascinated Link at first glance.
He was amazed and his desire to possess it grew instantly.
Link could almost feel a version of himself from Shaanxi residing within him, shouting wildly, "Mine, mine, it's all mine!".
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing Link in a trance, cross-eyed Jimmy asked curiously.
Just before the White Sail was about to enter the harbor, the five people from the Quete Archipelago had gathered on the deck in advance.
"Nothing."
Link shook his head and withdrew his gaze. The aircraft had already flown out of sight.
"I just saw Wizard Palo."
Christina, who often went unnoticed, softly spoke up.
"I saw him too."
Both Chris and Jasmine echoed at the same time.
A look of surprise flashed across Jimmy's face. He had been distracted by an extremely attractive woman.
Seeing Link in a trance, he had assumed Link was looking at the same woman. He had even wanted to compare their taste in women.
"Ah!"
Jimmy opened his mouth in an slightly awkward manner, then quickly changed the subject, "Let's move forward, there are too many people here. The faster we walk, the sooner we can disembark."
There were indeed a lot of people.
During the five days at sea, Link had been a homebody and was unaware of how many New Bloods the White Sail was carrying.
It was only now that Link realized there were at least 2000 people on the White Sail.
From the Quete Archipelago alone, only five New Bloods that met the requirements were selected from eight noble territories of various sizes.
Even if the proportions varied across different islands, it wouldn't differ too much.
Link made a rough estimate and realized that there must be more than four hundred islands in the Stormy Sea.
This is an estimated number based on the average area and population of the Quete Archipelago, which should be quite reliable.
However, this only accounts for the islands in the Stormy Sea off the west coast of the main continent. There are also the Endless Sea off the east coast, the North Ocean to the north, and the South Ocean to the south.
A glance through the tube reveals the vastness of the Wizard's World, far beyond the imagination of an ordinary person.
"Have you all read the brochure, do you have any wizard organizations you want to join?"
Moving slowly through the crowded crowd, Link asked casually.
"I'm planning to go to the Metal and Flame Business Society, to become a wizarding apprentice who specializes in creating machines."
Jimmy was the first to respond.
He has a high affinity for the metallic and fire elements which perfectly suits him.
However, a business society is different from a college. Although it has better financial benefits in the short term, it may limit one's personal development in the long run.
It's a double-edged sword.
"We plan to go to Shadow City."
Chris added, he and his sister have an affinity for the rare shadow element.
The "Overview of Wizard Organizations in the Tudor region of the West Coast" only recorded three places suitable for Shadow element new blood. First is Shadow City, Second is Night Curtain Society, and third is Dacknes University.
The entry requirement of the Night Curtain Society is very high, they only recruit new blood with qualifications below the fourth rank.
Chris and Christina's wizard qualifications are both only third-tier, which doesn't meet the Night Curtain Society's standards.
Dacknes University has a requirement that new blood may need to cooperate with the teachers' human experiments.
For personal safety reasons, Dacknes University is ruled out by Chris and his sister.
Shadow City became the best and the only suitable place for them.
"What about you, Jasmine?"
Link turned his head to look at the little rich girl, Jasmine Kidman.
Jasmine wrinkled her nose, a little bit entangled. She has an affinity with three elemental systems, which actually gives her a lot of choices.
But the more choices she has, the harder it is to decide.
After a while, Jasmine had a bright idea and suddenly remembered that Link was highly compatible with two of her three Eelemental systems, the water and wood elements.
Perhaps, Link's choice could be a reference for her?
In turn, Jasmine asked: "Where are you planning to go, Link?"
"Ravensmouth Biological and Medical College."
There was nothing to hide about this, Link simply stated his decision.
Jasmine continued to ask, "Can you tell me why?"
"I'm not into battles and fights. I enjoy planting flowers, raising animals, and treating people. I feel that suits my personality."
Link shrugged innocently, sharing his candid thoughts.
"Ah, this..."
Jasmine was surprised by Link's answer.
But after considering it very thoroughly, the more she thought about it, the more it made sense.
Coming from a noble family, Jasmine knew more about the Wizard's World than ordinary people. She's aware that conflicts between individual wizards or wizard organizations are common.
But battles have risks. So, being a logistics and medical personnel could be a perfect fit for her.
Jasmine curved up a joyous smile, saying, "I'm also going to attend Ravensmouth Biological and Medical College."
Link raised his eyebrows, surprised but not shocked at Jasmine's decision.
With her affinity for water, wood, and earth systems, Jasmine was the best fit for Ravensmouth Biological and Medical College, even more suitable than Link himself.
He just didn't expect that Jasmine chose it because of what he just said.
But Link isn't naive, he didn't start hallucinating thoughts like "Does she like me?"
