"I don't know what qualifications you have to decide whether I can take equestrian training lessons." Claude looked at Albert coldly, his eyes full of contempt: "Compared to someone who spent more than five silver thalers.
For the idiot who still can't ride a horse, I can ride a horse without spending a penny, and I can ride it better than you, which means that I am very talented in equestrian, so you are jealous and don't want me to be good at equestrian.
Keep improving so that you can satisfy your petty vanity, right?"
"You, who are you calling an idiot! I, I will be jealous of you..." Albert jumped up all of a sudden, his face turned red. It was obvious that Claude's words were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.
The most critical place.
It has been about half a year since the time traveler became Claude. He sometimes feels that the different world he has traveled through is very strange. Compared with his previous life, there are many similarities. For example, there are also seven days in a week. On Sundays, people go to the temples of their respective beliefs.
Pray. For example, the Kingdom of Ovilas also has basic education for all, including national primary and secondary schools, etc...
But there are many differences. Not to mention the two moons in the sky, even the temples people believe in are polytheistic rather than monotheistic, and these temples have their own functions. For example, farmers believe in the goddess of the earth who can bring good harvests, and sailors worship and govern.
The sea god of storms, the god of war that warriors believe in, the silver moon goddess who symbolizes love and health, and the sun god who brings light to the earth...
What makes time travelers feel most weird is national education, which is very different from the exam-oriented education in previous lives. National education is also divided into subjects, but it is not divided into liberal arts and science, but into liberal arts and physical education. The key courses of liberal arts
It is the six subjects of grammar, history, arithmetic, theology, geography and nature.
Grammar class is not the language of the previous life, this is what the time traveler thinks. The lingua franca of the Kingdom of Ovilas is Hebraic, which is a language that evolved from the ancient Hertzian language and is spoken in the eastern part of the Farea continent.
Regions such as the Kingdom of Nasseri, the kingdom's mortal enemy, and the Principality of Berkeley, which was annexed by the kingdom, all speak Hebraic.
The grammar class in elementary school is very simple. You need to be literate, read and write fluently. Hebraic characters are not letters, but a diamond-shaped character, which is characterized by large top and small bottom, with a drum in the middle. It is beautifully written.
The fonts are like little tadpoles standing up one by one. In a certain way, the Hebian characters are a bit like the square characters that travelers are familiar with. There are more than 6,000 characters included in the dictionary. The same letters are used to pinyin, and the same
Knowing the meaning of a word.
The grammar class in junior high school is more like a comprehensive course. In addition to continuing to learn some new words that are not commonly used, you also have to learn to write various administrative and business styles. At the same time, you also have to learn two new languages, which are popular in
The Jimil language in the northern part of the continent and the Leishicht language in the central part of the continent also evolved from the ancient Hertzian language, and can be said to be close relatives of Hebraic.
History is a key course in junior high school, but time travelers have complained privately that this history course has a very good brainwashing effect. Because the focus of this history textbook issued by the kingdom is not on telling the history of the Farea continent, but on
In describing the arduous process of establishing the Kingdom of Overas and the great achievements of successive kings, especially the achievements of Sterling IX, most of them are described. Just like the focus of each exam is mostly the "three-color scepter" that revived the kingdom.
"War", a certain battle in the kingdom's three-year civil war, what tactics the great Sterling IX used to defeat the enemy, etc., made the time-travelers extremely annoyed.
Needless to say, arithmetic is the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in elementary school. The difficulty level in elementary school is quadratic equations. Geometry and algebra in the previous life are all missing. What makes the time traveler puzzled is that the writings on budget and audit are
The format is also included in the scope of arithmetic. What the hell is this?
Theology can basically be viewed as myths and legends, but it is worth noting that different gods have different prayers and sacrificial rituals, as well as different taboos in life. This is an important point that every student must keep in mind.
Geography is more like a business plan. In addition to describing the geography and mineral knowledge of several known continents, islands, and oceans, it also describes the landscapes and customs of various places. The focus is on the specialties of various places and their sale to other places.
profit difference between.
Nature is also a comprehensive subject. Travelers believe that the kingdom’s education department irresponsibly combines biology, plants, and common sense to form this course called nature. The majority of the textbooks include various animals, plants, and insects.
This is perhaps the most thorough and detailed study by scholars of the Kingdom. For example, there are clear conclusions on which part of the fur of a Kunshan antelope is most suitable for making a scarf...
Generally speaking, it is easy for outstanding graduates of the liberal arts department in the Kingdom to find a job with a salary sufficient to support their family in various administrative departments, major commercial banks and workshops in the kingdom. Just like Claude's eldest brother Albert, with his white
He graduated first in the liberal arts department at Luzhen Junior High School and was recommended to become the personal secretary of National Congressman Sir Fox.
Physical education is actually several courses that hone students' physical fitness. It includes common long-distance running exercises, fencing, boxing, wrestling, iron throwing, long stick fighting, and equestrian training classes that start in the second grade of junior high school.
and musket shooting training for the third grade of junior high school, so much so that travelers sometimes thought they had entered some kind of boot camp.
Although the junior high school in the Kingdom of Ovilas is divided into liberal arts students and physical education students, they are not divided into classes, but the focus of study is different. Each student has the same curriculum arrangement. Liberal arts students also have to take physical education classes, and physical education students also have to take physical education classes.
Science students also have to take liberal arts exams.
The Claude possessed by the time traveler had really bad grades in liberal arts, so he became a physical education student early. Fortunately, his physical fitness was very good, and he was among the best among the physical education students in the school. As for his eldest brother Al
Although Bette graduated with first place in liberal arts, it is said that his performance in physical education was appalling and he was at the bottom of the school.
Take the equestrian training class as an example. After a month of equestrian training, most students in the second grade of junior high school will be able to ride well. After another month of review, a third grade student will be able to have a good body.
His riding skills are so good that he can ride any mount he wants.
But as the school's outstanding liberal arts student, Albert, after experiencing a two-person equestrian training class in the second and third grade of junior high school, which cost a total of two silver thalers, he probably had a conflict with the horse.
He still couldn't ride steadily on the horse, and from time to time he had to perform various tricks to fall off the horse. So his equestrian training class time became a rare happy moment for junior high school students. Not only was he nicknamed an equestrian idiot, he even had good things going on.
The bettor placed a bet on how long he could hold on to the horse...
In this era when horses and carriages were the main means of transportation, Mr. Morsan once again had to spend three silver thalers to hire an equestrian instructor to give his eldest son private equestrian training. However, the result was regrettable, for one and a half months
Later, the equestrian instructor had no choice but to say to Mr. Morsan: "Your eldest son is like a stiff piece of wood when riding on a horse. He can still sit still when the horse walks slowly, but he will fall off if it goes a little faster, let alone a small step."
Run away. I'm sorry, your eldest son doesn't have any athletic ability, there's nothing I can do..."
Fortunately, the horses were docile, the grass was soft, and the instructor was very protective, so Albert fell off the horse countless times without suffering any serious physical injuries. This really made Claude feel very sorry. But this
From then on, Albert regarded horseback riding as a daunting task, and Mr. Morsant also gave up on letting his eldest son learn equestrian skills.
"Shut up, Claude!" Mr. Morsant scolded with a sullen face: "You are a physical education student, and Abel is a liberal arts student. Don't compare your strengths with your elder brother's shortcomings. If your liberal arts scores
If you are as outstanding as your elder brother and become number one in the school, then you are qualified to make irresponsible remarks in front of your elder brother."
Claude curled his lips. He didn't want to be the first in liberal arts. Last time, the school collected the papers of the top liberal arts students and published this sample essay for students' reference. Albert's graduation examination essay was also on it, and he also typed it.
It got full marks. As a result, Claude almost vomited when he saw it.
This is an article praising Sterling IX. All kinds of adjectives such as greatness and righteousness are piled on top. In fact, the article itself is empty and boring. There is nothing interesting except flattering people and refreshing people. I don’t know how shameless I am.
Only a thick person can write such a shameless article. No wonder the school teacher who corrected it had to give full marks. Because any modification means his dissatisfaction with the great Sterling IX. No smart teacher is willing to make such a shameless mistake.
The wrong route is tabooed by the Stirling royal family.
Mr. Morsant took out a black deerskin wallet with gold edges from his arms, took out a shiny silver taler and placed it on the dining table: "Claude, I will give you whatever you deserve."
You. As a father, I will not favor any of my children, nor will I treat any of them badly. When your eldest brother was in junior high school, he spent one silver thaler on equestrian training for two semesters, so you don’t
Exception. When little Booker grows up in the future, he will be treated the same as you."
Claude looked at Yintale on the table: "But father, I still want some money to buy some books. I heard Boa say that a batch of new books just arrived in our town two days ago, and I want to take a look.
"
Albert stared at the big silver coins on the dining table with fire in his eyes, and couldn't help but explode when he heard Claude's words: "Are you going to buy books? You are just looking for an excuse to cheat money from your father and go out with you."
Those few friends are just fooling around together! There are more than a hundred books in the study at home. If you want to read, you can read as much as you want there!"
Claude smiled: "As my brother, you have disappointed me. My father gave you the right to use the study, but you did not use it properly. I have read all the books in the study in the past six months.
, and I also took a lot of notes. If you don’t believe it, you can look at the bookmarks and creases in the middle of the pages, they are all left by me.”
"You, have you read all the books in the study?" Mr. Morsan was also a little unbelievable.
"Yes, Father." Claude nodded: "I also rearranged all the books in the study and arranged them on the bookshelf by categories. You were too casual in placing them before."
"Very good. It's a good thing to love reading." Mr. Morsan was a little happy and took out a small silver coin from his wallet: "Is one riaso enough? Forget it, I'll give you two riaso.
Go buy books."
Claude smiled and nodded, picking up a large silver coin and two small silver coins on the dining table: "Thank you, father. I'm full, and I'll go to school now."
Then he ran upstairs, and his schoolbag was still in the attic upstairs.
Angelina on the side wiped her mouth with the linen napkin on the table and stood up, "I'm full too, I'm going to school."
I picked up the small deerskin schoolbag that I had put aside and went out.
"Father..." Albert looked at his father.
Mr. Morsant waved his hand gently: "Abel, you are indeed a bit harsh on your brother. In fact, I don't care about Claude asking me for pocket money. What I care about is whether he made excuses to lie to me.
He said that if he buys a book, the result will be very simple. It will be clear if he buys the book and how much it costs."
