Large tracts of mountains are covered with dense and lush forest land. Between the mountains and hills is a winding double-row carriageway. The white carriageway winds and extends into the depths of the green mountain forest. After a few turns, there is no end.
No end in sight.
In the afternoon, the sky was gloomy and gloomy. On the driveway, carriages were crisscrossing, some were still entering the sand forest, and most of the carriages were running out. Occasionally, when I met someone I knew and the windows of the carriages were in the same place,
The owners of the carriage smiled and nodded to each other, appearing polite.
Among them, on a small white carriage that was driving into the forest, an ordinary-looking boy with short brown hair was looking around at the passing carriage. The complicated and gorgeous coats of arms on the carriage made it difficult for him to turn away.
He was wearing a clean white silk coat, a gray cloth vest, some tight blue trousers and black boots. He looked similar to the average young country aristocrat. He wanted to be fashionable, but he didn't know himself.
Her outfit is completely out of place and rustic.
The person driving next to the boy was a somewhat bald, middle-aged man wearing servant-style gray cloth clothes. These two people were Angelet and Henderson who were heading to the college's registration office.
The carriage moved forward rapidly. While on the way, Henderson began to explain the situation of Port Academy to Angelet carefully. "Master Angelet, madam, please let me remind you that if the courses at Port Academy are not necessary, it is best to
It's best not to study, otherwise the fees you pay will be of no use to you..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious.
Angelet nodded: "I understand. But can anyone get into Port Academy as long as they have money?"
Henderson licked his lips. "I've never heard of anyone being too rich to get in. I guess so."
Angelet nodded clearly. This port college is equivalent to a private college on earth. If you have money, you can enter and study. The quality of teaching inside is probably not high. But compared to the original one in the castle, Angelet nodded.
If you are eating, drinking and having fun all day long, or if you are confused and confused, you can only rely on the chip. Even if the teaching content is simple, it will be much better.
"In addition, the college's admission fee is not high, and some children of small businessmen also study there. For those who cannot afford the tuition because the tuition is too high, they tend to surround themselves with some students who have taken classes and choose to pay some price.
By imparting knowledge and courses to these students, the price paid to the students is much less than the price paid to the instructor. So this is also a relatively common phenomenon in colleges. You can also consider this method." Henderson said kindly.
remind.
"Thank you, I will consider it." Angelet smiled and stopped talking.
You don't need to guess to know that if you want to obtain knowledge from other students, you obviously need more than just money. You may also need to be humble and grovel to flatter others. This is obviously impossible for Angelet. Although it is only very precious,
But as he has a chip, he doesn't really need to wrong himself so much.
The carriage quickly followed the driveway and drove deep into the mountain forest. At the end of the driveway was a steel fence gate more than ten meters wide, with tall walls stretching to the top of the mountain on both sides. The gate was open, and outside was a large piece of empty grass.
There were also four or five small carriages parked. There were various heraldic designs, and the horses driving the carriages were expensive and cheap. From time to time, some richly dressed people came out of the iron gate and got on the carriage. The carriage that drove in drove over and parked.
In the open space, the people who got off the carriage were all young boys and girls. Most of them were dressed gorgeously, and only a few were dressed simply. They were probably all here to register for school. These boys and girls ranged in age from twelve to thirteen years old, to
There are people aged fifteen or sixteen. It seems that the academy has no rules on the minimum age.
After parking the carriage, Angele followed Henderson and entered the iron gate. Like many young people who came to sign up, he looked around the entire academy with curiosity.
Entering the iron gate, you will see a wide green grassland and a row of five or six-story white buildings facing the gate. A cobblestone path extends from the iron gate to the entrance of the white building.
There are two rows of bronze statues standing on both sides of the cobblestone road. There are inscriptions engraved on the bronze bases.
Angelet glanced at a bronze statue casually as he passed by. The inscription on it read: Earl Albert Burlington donated 20,000 gold coins to Harbor College in 1307.
Angelet looked at the other bronze statues speechlessly and found that all the statues were remembered as people who donated money. The minimum was about 10,000 gold coins. He withdrew his gaze and stopped looking. He followed Henderson directly into the white building.
The first floor lobby.
In the middle of the hall, which was as gorgeously decorated as a cocktail party, a middle-aged man with a mustache was sitting at the table, holding a quill and registering the students who came to register.
Angelet lined up at the back of the team, turned his head and looked forward. He found that there were still twenty or thirty people. Henderson took Aunt Maria's token and went directly to Sir Siwa. Everyone behind and behind him was interested.
Keeping a distance from Angelet, these people all had a hint of disgust and contempt in their eyes.
Without waiting long, Henderson followed a man with blond curly hair and walked over. He took Angelet away from the team and entered a side door of the hall.
After quickly paying the fee, Angelet got the identity form assigned to him. It was a piece of white leather paper with his student number, grade, accommodation room, personal information and other information written on it, as well as the payment on behalf of him.
After paying the fee, Henderson took the initiative to say so and left directly.
Angelet took the identity form, followed the instructions above, and walked into a building on the left to find his dormitory. The dormitory building was very crowded, and many rooms were open. Some students were walking back and forth between each other.
Every floor was noisy. This reminded Angelet of the preparatory knight students in his father's castle. However, compared to those students, most of the students in this academy were dressed gorgeously, and all of them behaved and spoke slowly.
Tuntun, it feels very pretentious and elegant.
Of course, Angelet himself is no longer a nobleman as a knight. The Rudin Kingdom is now in turmoil and faces the danger of national collapse at any time. His father decisively chose to leave the motherland and go to the Andes, which was obviously a choice to give up his title. So now Angelet has
He is just an ordinary civilian. Fortunately, in the Andean Federation, the regulations on the color of clothes that symbolize status are not very strict. Common people can also wear ordinary colors. Otherwise, just the white clothes on his body would be considered a felony.
The rooms are private, and the college probably took into consideration that the nobles would not be willing to live in the same room as others.
The bedroom is a room only big enough for a wooden bed, a desk and a chair. All the furniture is made of brown wood, without paint, and a light wood fragrance permeates the room.
Angelet packed up his things and was about to change clothes.
"The new course arrangement is out!" A boy's voice came in from the stairwell outside. "It was posted outside our fifth building. The price this time is five gold coins per person, no more charges are allowed!"
"Each of us has to pay at least 100 gold coins. How can we get back our money when we only have five gold coins each!?"
"This is Sir Banner's price. If you have any objections, please go to Sir. I'm just responsible for spreading the word."
The stairwell suddenly became noisy.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on Angelet's door. He walked over and opened the door. A freckle-faced black-haired boy stood at the door, wearing a red aristocratic uniform with yellow edges. "New here? Did you hear the price just now?"
"
Angelet nodded.
"That's good. This is the new price set by Mr. Banner himself. If you want to earn money by teaching civilian students, you must abide by this rule. Is it okay?" the boy said quickly.
Angelet nodded again. "No problem." He had no intention of using this to make money.
"That's good." The boy nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left. "By the way, seeing how sensible you are, don't forget to pay for the classes according to the course list on the back of the information sheet."
Angelet closed the door, with a thoughtful expression on his face. He picked up the information sheet on the table, and on the back, there were rows of unclear course schedules. It looked like they were disposable.
It was printed, not handwritten, so it was so unclear. It was thanks to the boy's reminder.
The courses and corresponding price list are clearly printed on it.
Music - two classes totaling one hour, 20 gold coins. Painting - two classes totaling one hour, 20 gold coins. Dancing - two classes totaling one hour, 20 gold coins. Equestrian combat - two classes totaling one hour,
20 gold coins. Unarmed combat - two classes totaling one hour, 30 gold coins. Alliance history - two classes totaling one hour, 10 gold coins. Tactics - two classes totaling one hour, 50 gold coins. Swordsmanship - two classes
One hour in total, 20 gold coins. Swordsmanship - two lessons in one hour, 20 gold coins. Two-handed heavy weapons - two lessons in one hour, 30 gold coins. Archery - two lessons in one hour, 50 gold coins.
Language - two classes, one hour in total, 20 gold coins.
There are 10 classes in total, and the next round of classes will be scheduled one month later. Fees need to be paid on the day.
Angelet frowned. After calculation, a course would cost at least a hundred gold coins to complete. This was a big burden for him. He brought two high-gold cards this time. These represent two thousand gold coins.
Meaning. The high gold card is a gold card with a representative amount issued after gold coins are deposited into the college. You can go to the college logistics office to exchange for corresponding gold coins at any time.
