Black Scepter Chapter 15: Aristocratic superiority
Let the collection fly for a while.
----------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------
For the Byzantine empire, Constantinople is the same as the heart. This heart has various reputations such as the largest population on the mainland, the most developed economy, and the strongest military strength. For the time being, it is not compared to its authenticity. The most important point is that This city has a powerful hematopoietic institution recognized by the mainland.
"St. Pamir School of Divinity", "Cauchy School of Knighthood" and "Pansell School of Magic", three mainland recognized schools include the training of clergy, knights and magicians. These three types of people almost support half of the entire empire, not only because of this The noble status of the three types of people is different from that of civilians, and their main members are nobles of the empire.
A nobleman can choose to enter a similar academy at about ten years old, get a "graduation certificate" from five to eight years, and then enter various corresponding departments, either in politics or army, or continue to be Dude, in short, will never worry about his way out.
This is almost a process that every nobleman must go through, including Morpheus who lived a dull life in the Ducal Palace.
For a full two months, Morpheus was close to the main gate in the Duke’s Palace. Although a nobleman could not be quick, no matter what teacher, he would be amazed by the master’s learning ability and imitation ability. ——Or, they simply feel that the young master in front of them no longer needs to learn anything.
From the basic etiquette posture of the nobleman, to all the details of the clothes worn when riding a horse, and even the deserving words that are said when tasting wine, this guy seems to have... learned.
It’s just that he still has some instinctive resistance to communication. The nobility of the aristocracy can’t be quick. Just like the Windsor Duke’s Palace displays a portrait in the hall of the family heads, no one knows a patriarch with a calm smile. What kind of honor and disgrace experienced in the end can precipitate that calm.
However, the old housekeeper who originally wanted to make this "wild boy" from the forest become a qualified aristocratic young master as soon as possible within three years, I still see it, I really see this young master in the two Out of the manners and temperament of the Duke’s Palace after a month, he would never think of what a teenager who had just turned sixteen had done when he was just found.
"Master Duke brought it, Master, you can choose your own college, but Lord Duke will conceal your identity and enroll in school."
The words of the old housekeeper are no surprise to Morpheus. As the son of the duke, he is extremely natural, but the identity of the illegitimate child is always a criticized old man. It seems to be hidden. It is really a means for the Duke to protect Morpheus-but Having said that, in the past two months, apart from occasionally seeing the Duke enjoying afternoon tea in the garden, Morpheus did not even make eye contact with his father.
Unfamiliar father and son, unspeakable emotions.
The Morpheus, who has no profound understanding of the various colleges of the Empire, looked up and looked at the old housekeeper and asked softly, "Which one can enter to become stronger?"
"Stronger..." The old housekeeper was asked, "What kind of power you have depends on your physical fitness, maybe you will become one of the Knights of the Round Table of the empire, or Sword Sage, of course, a Cardinal and Or Archmage is equally possible."
"Then go to an academy with everything, I will find this way myself."
"Everything..."
The old housekeeper was stunned for a long time. The imperial colleges were very specific—all of the famous colleges were independent and without other side branches. The three major hematopoietic pillar colleges could not have been bloated. The branch of the academy, in Constantinople, where the land is rich in gold, the only king is the maximum utilization of limited resources.
"It seems that there is only a second-class college in the Bol district...but there is no aristocratic college, young master, your identity and qualifications should not waste time in that kind of place..."
"Time to find the right path is not wasteful, is it?"
Morpheus exhaled. The children of the family raised their hands and put their fingers on the feet to make it all right. "What needs to be prepared, what to pay attention to, tell me in advance, I will go back first."
"Observe the order, young master."
The old housekeeper bowed and then quietly watched the teenager who came to Constantinople but hadn’t enjoyed the rest of the rest of the day leave.
Non-genius, but it has the advantage that genius is hard to reach-not the arrogant person who enjoys glory and wealth from birth, when people stand in the low position, they often see how many peaks they want to climb. high.
From ancient times to the present, all those who have achieved success are the ones who bowed their heads in silence, without complaining, without noise, and they began to climb after identifying a target, regardless of difficulties and obstacles.
......
When a humble wagon enters the "Tarens School" in the Bol district, no one knows the identity of the people in the two horse-drawn carriages. Although they are not as poor as the poor, they are not Where is luxury going, ordinary in the carriages around.
For Morpheus, a son of a duke riding a horse-drawn carriage to report to a second-rate school is not a "condescension". He is still him, the hunter who is like a fish in the jungle, but now he is dressed up A robe that can be taken off at any time.
The driver wearing an ordinary and indifferent expression lifted the curtain for the carriage. The opening ceremony is about to begin. As the largest college in the Boer district, this school has another title-"Merchant School", which means simple That is, the tuition here is one of the most expensive in Constantinople. Even the "Cauchy School of Knighthood" called "The Grand Cradle" of the Empire is not as good as the tuition here. Even if you don't need to buy expensive horses and sophisticated equipment, the entrance fee is enough. Can not afford Constantinople Jiucheng family.
Of course, "Pansell School of Magic" known as "Gold Coin Incinerator" is excluded.
Constantinople colleges are basically one of the most well-developed groups on the mainland, gradually diversifying from the earliest popular seminaries, such as Morpheus’s upcoming Tarens School~IndoMTL.com~ except for one of the highest churches in the Bol district In addition, there are two rows of luxuriously decorated student dormitories, and a teaching area that covers a large area, including a large library that is worthy of Constantinople after the royal family, a horse farm for riding exercises, and various types of Tower and stone building for teaching.
The Morpheus walking off the carriage was wearing a gray robe with dry and simple colors. There were no extra accessories on his body, only the Naples magic steel short sword donated by Tang Jidi de was worn around his waist-this is the only sign that represents the identity of the nobility Because civilians are not allowed to wear weapons, even though he is a plain robe, he still attracts many people's attention.
Tarens School is a place disdainful for most upper class aristocrats, because this is a mixed academy with dragons and dragons, and it is also a place of "impure bloodlines". In other words, not all of the students here It is a noble, but contains the children of many wealthy merchants in Constantinople, or rich second or third generations, most of them are rich, but basically have no nobility, and the nobles who go to school here are mostly ordinary people with qualified qualifications. Either the family status is not high, or the children are not upset.
In short, compared with several universities, Tarrens is a bloated and uneven mixture.
Enrollment here does not require any assessment or submission of proof-similar things are available at the Imperial Knight Academy or the Magic Academy, but here, the only thing that needs to be submitted is the golden Aztec coins enough.
Morpheus looks a little numb as people walk away. The coachman beside him seems to be the only attendant. In the eyes of the rich people around him, he can be described as a model of "poor nobles". Sometimes the scornful eyes naturally leave no room for Morpheus. Slightly uncomfortable.
He is wondering, what are these people despising themselves?
