The Four Colleges are extremely traditional and can even be said to be conservative. In addition to professional courses, the Four Colleges provide their members with rigorous legal training and also provide students with general university education content.
But it is limited to sculpture, history, music, and some aristocratic etiquette. Then, depending on the academy affiliation, the members will be explained to the members the "Book of Storms" by the Church of Storms or the "Apocalypse of the Night" by the Church of Night.
It sounds good, but for people like Rawls or Count Wolfe who have received similar education since childhood, it is a kind of torture.
The lecturers in these colleges all have extremely profound experience and insights in the law, but in terms of etiquette and music, they are not necessarily as good as etiquette or music teachers like Count Wolfe.
"Hahaha, the four major colleges have indeed become more and more conservative in the past hundred years. If not all barristers must be from the four major colleges, I am afraid they will be overwhelmed by Loen's new education system."
In the past dozen years, the Kingdom of Loen has been developing education. In the past few years, it has promulgated the "Elementary Education Law" to reward the lower and middle education committees and provide special financial allocations.
In just three years, many public elementary schools were established on the premise of incorporating many church schools. They strictly maintained the principle of religious neutrality and did not involve themselves in the disputes between the Lord of Storms, the Goddess of Night, and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.
Because of the strong development of primary education, higher education in Loen has also been given opportunities to develop. However, the four major colleges still maintain their independence and tradition.
But it is not as good as the more conservative landed aristocrats whose thinking is still stuck hundreds of years ago.
Count Wolfe laughed and asked Rawls to sit down.
After choosing a single sofa near Wolfe's left side, Rawls smiled and said:
"The Kingdom has indeed spent a lot on education in the past ten years. When I was studying in Tingen, the universities, grammar schools and public elementary schools there were all very well developed."
Count Wolfe curled his right index finger, shaved his mustache, and looked relaxed:
"The establishment of the "Corn Act" greatly alleviated the kingdom's financial crisis, and only then was it able to consider the issue of education. More than a hundred years ago, Russell once said that education must be established even in poverty, so
Intis became strong."
Rawls lost no time in showing a smile of approval, which may have eased the financial crisis of the nobles.
There were many reasons for the establishment of the "Corn Act", such as the war with Intis more than 20 years ago, the reduction of grain production, etc. But the biggest force driving its establishment was the landed aristocracy.
After the grain production decreased, the price of grain rose, and the land aristocracy increased the land rent accordingly, doubling or even five times the land rent to satisfy their extravagant and luxurious life. However, the farmers who rented the land soon discovered that the income from their own cultivation was not enough to meet the land rent.
There are only two solutions: lower rents or continue to increase food prices.
The nobles used their huge influence in Parliament to establish the "Corn Act" to maintain the price of food in the country.
"Ruen will also be more prosperous because of its investment in education."
Earl Wolfe shook his head and said:
"Maybe, don't talk about these, talk about something more relaxed. How much do you know about the history of the Southern Continent?"
Rawls frowned and said sheepishly:
"Actually, it's not a lot. You know, apart from law-related things, the college doesn't actually teach many things, and it's not in-depth. I don't know as much as Todd does."
Count Wolfe waved his hands casually, but with a warm smile on his face:
"Todd doesn't know much. The main reason he likes history is that my family has collected too many related cultural relics. He has followed me to learn about these things since he was a child. He is just more obsessed with the stories behind the cultural relics, rather than the cultural relics themselves.
"
"Then Todd and I are very similar. I think that except for a few cultural relics that are extremely precious in themselves, many more cultural relics are actually precious because of their stories."
"Oh? That's a very good idea."
…
Rhoside Islands, the generous city of Bayam, the home of "Artisan" Sharf.
Looking at Alger who was drinking a bottle of Sonia blood wine, the craftsman Sharf's eyebrows and the wrinkles on his forehead were squeezed together. He pulled out a high-backed chair and sat down, wondering:
"Where have you been these two days? Don't you even care about drinking? Are you so hungry?"
After finishing a bottle of Sonia blood wine, Alger casually wiped his mouth to wipe away the remaining wine stains, his voice hoarse:
"I have urgent matters to attend to, so I don't have time to buy wine."
"Artisan" Sharf took another bottle of Sunia blood wine, took out two glasses, and said while pouring the wine:
"Is it an urgent matter? You said it was urgent last time you came here, but you haven't given me an answer yet. Do you want to make a cane using the extraordinary characteristics of the 'lucky one'?"
"Because there are more important things these days, I haven't contacted him yet. I wonder if he agrees?"
Alger felt that his recent luck was really bad. First he was admitted to an organization called "Tarot Society", and he became one of the founders of the Tarot Society.
Then someone was "forced" to ask for an extraordinary weapon, and it was also required to be a cold weapon or a heavy weapon. In order to complete the request, I rushed from Pulitzer Port to Bayam in three days, and I was almost at my limit.
I found Sharf, but I didn't have a suitable extraordinary weapon. I finally came up with an idea, but I didn't know the "Emperor's" opinion, so I could only wait.
I originally thought I could rest for a few days, but the church sent me another mission, asking me to intercept a "listener" from the "Aurora Society".
At first, I thought it was just a simple task, just a "listener" who went crazy from time to time. Although I was not promoted to a Sequence 7 "navigator". But this was a "furious people" dealing with a "listener" at sea.
enough.
But when the ship the "Listener" of the Aurora Society was traveling on was about to collapse under the attack of Alger's "Blue Avenger", it suddenly went crazy.
"The Listener" coughed up a large mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs, and then the blood mixed with internal organs turned into a flesh bomb.
Not only did it blow a huge hole in Alger's "Blue Avenger", but Alger himself was also affected by the bomb, but fortunately he only suffered minor injuries.
A Sequence 8 "Listener" can actually use the ability of a Sequence 6 "Bishop Rose". These madmen from the Aurora Society are really scary!
Fortunately, I had an unexpected gain. Not only did I learn about the ability of "Bishop Rose" from the bishop, but I also learned about the ability of the corresponding Sequence 5 "Shepherd".
Qilingos' "Creeping Hunger" is probably made with the extraordinary characteristics of the "Shepherd", so it must devour the soul and flesh of a living person every other day.
It's almost time. After tomorrow's Tarot session, you must take the magic potion and become a "navigator". As for the "Emperor's" weapons, if he is satisfied, I will let him pay more; if he is not satisfied, I can only buy another one.
