There are two study rooms in the Matou family.
There is one room on the first floor. It is not very big and does not contain many books. It is more like an office for successive family heads than a study.
The other one is located at the deepest part of the underground, with an area equivalent to an entire floor on the ground. It has a longer history than the buildings on the surface. It was designed and arranged by Zouken Matou himself, and was filled and renovated by Scathach and Orange.
For magicians, knowledge is the most valuable resource and wealth. In addition to the imprints implanted in the body, books are the most important source of knowledge.
Therefore, every magus family has a rich collection of books, and as the family continues, the collection becomes richer and richer. So far, the Matou family's collection of books is comparable to a miniature library.
Among them are various magic books and magician's notes handed down from the Matou family or obtained in other ways, as well as various ordinary books that have nothing to do with mystery - mystery needs to be hidden, but magicians have to live in this world, not to mention that magic is inextricably linked to science, history, and humanity.
Because it is located deep underground and the original designer is Zouken Matou who is good at insect magic, the style of the study is dark and gloomy. In addition, there is no obvious light source in the study, only a desk lamp illuminates a very small area, which adds a thrilling atmosphere to the whole space.
However, the young man under the lamp was not affected by the atmosphere and was still concentrating on flipping through the book in front of him.
He flipped the pages very quickly, and every few seconds, there was a slight rustling sound of pages being turned.
The cycle goes on and on, seemingly with no end.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of footsteps broke the silence in the study.
"Brother, why don't you turn on the other lights as well."
A gentle voice with a hint of anger was heard, and a strand of long purple hair fell over the boy's shoulders.
"You said it's bad for your eyes."
The girl stretched out her hand and drew a lavender rune in the air. As the rune took shape, the shadow under the girl's feet quickly extended forward, extending to the wall at the end of the study and climbing up a protruding device.
With a "pop" sound, the ceiling of the study was lit up, and the originally dim room instantly became bright. The rows of bookshelves illuminated by the lights and the neatly stacked books on the bookshelves added an indescribable sense of oppression to the entire study, which was the weight of knowledge.
The light on the ceiling did not make the extended shadow disappear. It was not until the runes in the air dissipated that the shadow withdrew from the passage between the two rows of bookshelves and curled up meekly at the girl's feet. Two faint lights could be seen.
The boy took his eyes off the book, glanced at the shadow on the ground, then reached out and ruffled the girl's hair.
"Your manipulation of the 'Shadow Apostle' is becoming more and more ingenious. Yes, my sister is amazing."
"Hehe." The girl squinted her eyes and shook her head in response to her brother's touch. "Brother, haven't you finished reading it yet? It's been an entire afternoon."
"There's more content than expected. It may take another half an hour."
Although most of the book in my hand has been turned through, there are still a lot of pages left.
"Then let's eat first. Mom brought back a lot of delicious food. If we go too late, Sister Elquet will eat it all."
"This guy is really getting more and more hungry, and it's winter now, so it gets dark early."
Shinji closed the book in his hand helplessly and stood up. It got dark early, which meant that Elquet woke up early. She was like a vampire in only this respect.
Sakura, who didn't know Elquet's true identity, tugged at Shinji's clothes and said, "Brother, can I sit next to you at dinner today?"
"Okay." How could Shinji refuse his sister's small request
Ying quietly made a victory gesture behind her back. When she was little, the seat next to her brother had always been hers, but now there are more and more girls in the family, and more and more people are fighting for seats. Ying has a gentle personality and rarely fights for anything, but that doesn't mean she is willing to give up this seat.
I will never give my brother to you!
Waving her fist to cheer herself up, the girl trotted to catch up with her brother.
Before leaving, she casually glanced at the cover of the book. With the knowledge passed down by Scathach, she recognized the English title on the cover at a glance.
"The Fall of Rome. Why would my brother want to read this kind of book?"
...
Why do you read this kind of book? Of course, it’s because you need it.
Why did Rome fall? The reasons are complicated, but it is undeniable that Attila's continuous westward advance of the Hun army was one of the important reasons.
Because of the national characteristics of the Huns, historical books about them are very scarce, and Shinji can only start from Rome, which is closely related to them, to find information.
As for the reason for looking for information about Attila, it was undoubtedly for Altila.
Although the two people have known each other by name and are no longer strangers, they still need more communication and understanding to become acquaintances or even higher-level friends.
Altira has no experience in this area. Apart from staring at you with expectant eyes, he can't even take the initiative to talk to you. In the end, it all falls on Shinji, and Attila's deeds are the entry point chosen by Shinji.
Attila's life is Altila's most precious memory, and this conqueror, one of the few in human history, is also one of the heroes that Shinji is very interested in. Long before the birth of the Fate series, he had heard of Attila's deeds and his famous saying - "No matter how unpleasant the Huns' words are, hold back your temper and listen to them, don't rush to kill them with a knife."
Hearing this, a rough and majestic male image instantly became clear, and then compared with Altira in front of him... The sense of disobedience is off the charts, okay? Did you really say this
In response, Altira said that she did say such words, and that it was taught to her by a Hungarian elder who raised her. He is one of the few wise elders among the Hungarians. Before, when Shinji said that he was an enemy of "Sefalu", Altira did not attack Shinji directly, but gave Shinji time to explain, which may have been influenced by this sentence.
Apart from this, the other famous quotes said to be attributed to Attila have little to do with Altila himself, such as:
"A great leader cannot be too serious." - Altira is still very oppressive when he doesn't speak, and Attira rarely speaks.
"In political warfare, beware of what's behind you." -Politics, what is that? Altira asked, tilting his head.
"There must be a reason to make an enemy." - Enemies? Just destroy them. Altira said seriously.
"The Huns must have a long-term vision." - Only by looking far ahead can we destroy all enemies! Altira thought about it and expressed his understanding.

What else could Shinji say
Go to TAMIAOHISHI's history book, this is the Type-Moon Universe!!!
PS: Jian Shao is indeed an African. Recently, he got lucky twice by plundering Yu Mei's luck. He got Ereshkigal 60 and Hokusai 25, which was really explosive. As a result, the remaining 225 stones and 21 talismans were thrown into the glittering pool without any splash. It turns out that the aura of the chief is extraordinary. I wanted to try Musashi, but now it's also failed. It just so happens that the krypton gold price of the Japanese server has skyrocketed by 100 recently, which also gave up the idea of krypton gold. It's better to take advantage of the 415 single krypton to get the highest krypton gold.
