Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter viii: arts and gynaecology

“I don't know what qualifications you have to decide if I don't go to equestrian training.” Claude stared coldly at Albert, full of contempt: "Compared to some idiot who spent five polysilver towers and still couldn't ride a horse, I didn't spend a penny riding a horse, and it was better than you, indicating that I had a gift in equestrianism, which is why you were jealous and didn't want me to continue to improve in equestrianism to satisfy your narrow vanity, was it? ”

“You, you idiot! Me, I would be jealous of you...” Albert jumped up and blushed, obviously Claude's words were like a sharp knife, just stabbing the worst part of his heart.

It has been about six months since the crosser became Claude, and he sometimes finds it strange to cross this alien world, which is similar to previous generations, for example, seven days a week, when people take Sundays off to pray in the temples of their respective beliefs. For example, the Kingdom of Ovilas also has basic education for all, national primary and secondary schools, etc. …

But there are also many different places, not to mention the two moons in heaven, that the temples that people believe in are also polytheistic rather than monotheistic, and that the functions of these temples, such as the farmer's faith in earth goddess, sailors worship the sea god who manages the storm, warriors believe in the goddess of war, and the silver moon goddess who symbolizes love and health, and the sun goddess who bring light to the earth...

The weirdest thing about the passers-by is the national education, which is very different from the exam education of previous generations. National education is also divided into subjects, but not into literature and science, but into literature and gynaecology. Grammar, history, arithmetic, theology, geography, and nature are the six key lessons in literature.

Grammar classes are not the languages of previous generations, as the transcenders see it, and the common language of the Kingdom of Ovieras is Hebrew, a language evolved from ancient Hertz that runs through the eastern regions of the Farea continent, such as the kingdom's dead enemy, the Kingdom of Nasserley, and the Principality of Berkeley, annexed by the demise of the kingdom, all speak Hebrew.

Literary classes are simple, literate, read and able to write fluently. The Hebrew text is not an alphabet, but a diamond-shaped text, characterized by a large, small, and intermediate drum. Write beautiful fonts like a standing tadpole. In one way, the Hebrew script is a bit like the square script known to penetrators, with more than 6,000 words included in the dictionary, the same phonetic spelling with letters and the same hieroglyphic meaning.

Grammar classes in the country are more like a comprehensive curriculum in which, in addition to continuing to learn some new words that are not commonly used in isolation, students learn to write administrative and commercial texts. At the same time, two new languages, Gymyr in the northern part of the continent and Lesihet in the central part of the continent, which have also evolved from Gukherz and can be described as close relatives of Hebrew, are to be studied.

History is the focus of the course, but the passers-by have spoken privately, and this history lesson has served as a good brainwasher. Because the historical material issued by this kingdom focuses not on the history of the Farea continent, but on describing the difficult history of the creation of the kingdom of Orvilas and the great successes of successive kings, especially Sterling IX, which accounted for the bulk of the performance, as if each examination focused mostly on the "tri-colored scepter struggle” for the revival of the kingdom, one battle in the three-year civil war of the kingdom, what tactics the great Sterling IX used to defeat the enemy, etc., annoying the passers-by.

The arithmetic goes without saying that national elementary school is the most basic plus or minus multiplication, and the difficulty in the country is the quadratic equation, like the geometry of previous generations, algebra, these are all gone. What makes the passers-by wonder is, what the hell is it that budget and audit formats are also included in arithmetic?

Theology can basically be seen as mythological, but it is worth noting that different gods have different prayer words and sacrificial rituals, as well as different taboos on their lives, which is the point that every student must bear in mind.

Geography is more like a commercial planning book, which, in addition to describing the geographic and mineral knowledge of the oceans of several continental islands, is more about describing landscapes and terroirs everywhere, with a focus on local specialties and the margin of profit between traffickers elsewhere.

Nature is also a comprehensive discipline, and the transcenders believe that the Kingdom's educational sector irresponsibly combines biology and plants, as well as common sense, to form this curriculum called Nature. The most common material is the distinction and characteristics of all kinds of flora and fauna and insects, which is perhaps the most thorough and careful area studied by kingdom scholars, such as a Kunshan antelope which part of the fur is best suited to make a scarf has a clear conclusion...

Generally speaking, excellent graduates of Chinese Language in China can easily find a job in the kingdom's various administrations and major commercial firms, as well as in factory workshops, as Claude's older brother, Albert, was recommended as a close secretary to Sir Fox, a member of the National Assembly, on the basis of his first graduation in Chinese Language in Bai Lu Town.

Physical science is actually a few courses of various polishing of students' physical qualities. These include common long run exercises, swordsmanship, boxing, horn power, iron chunking, long stick kills, and equestrian training classes started in the second grade of the country and firearm training in the third grade of the middle school, so that the passers-by sometimes think they have entered a recruit training camp.

In the kingdom of Ovillas, although there are divisions between baccalaureate and somatology students, there are no divisions of classes, but the focus of study is different. Each student has the same curriculum. Literature students are also taught gymnastics, and gymnastics students are also taught literature exams.

This claude possessed by the crosser, because his literature grades were really scum, he had long since become a physician. Fortunately, he was a very good physician and ranked among the top physicians in the school. As for his older brother Albert, although he graduated first in literature, he was said to have had an intolerable physical record and to be a school-bottom figure.

In the case of equestrian training courses, after a month of equestrian training, students in the second grade of a country can mostly ride like images. If the third grade of the country refreshes for another month, they can have a good riding technique, which can be managed by pulling and riding.

But Albert, the school's top literary student, after two one-horse equestrian training sessions in the second and third semesters in China, spent two silver tall people, probably with horse offenders, he still couldn't ride steadily on horses, and from time to time he had to perform a stunning landing horse pose. So his equestrian training time became a rare happy moment for Chinese high school students. Not only was he nicknamed an equestrian idiot, but even the good guys opened a plate to bet how long he could hold on to it...

In an age when horses and carriages were the main vehicles, Mr. Morsan had to spend three more silver towers hiring equestrian instructors to train his eldest son in private equestrian techniques. But unfortunately, a month and a half later, the equestrian instructor could not help but say to Mr. Morsan: "Your eldest son is riding on a horse like a stubborn piece of wood. He can still sit when the horse walks slowly, and he will fall a little faster, let alone run away. I'm sorry, your eldest son doesn't have a bit of athletic skills, there's nothing I can do...”

Fortunately, the horse is gentle, the grass is soft, and the teaching is guarded by the side, so Claude is deeply sorry that Albert has not suffered any serious bodily harm from falling off the horse countless times. But it also made Albert look at horseback riding as if he were in awe, and Mr. Morsan's death made his eldest son learn equestrian mind.

“Shut up, Claude!” Mr. Morsan scolded in a gloomy face: “You are a gymnast, Abel is a literary student, don't compare your strengths to your brother's weaknesses. If your literature is as good as your brother's, you will be qualified to say three or four words in front of your brother. ”

Claude leaves his mouth shut, he doesn't want to be the first in any literature. The last time the school collected the first volume of literature for students to reference, Albert's graduation exam composition was also on top and scored full. And Claude almost threw up.

This is an article that celebrates Sterling IX, and all kinds of brilliant and positive adjectives are piled up. In fact, the article itself is empty and boring, and there is nothing to look at but a refreshing kiss on the ass. No wonder people with such a thick face can write such brazen articles. No wonder the approved school teaching has to give full marks. Because any modification implies dissatisfaction with the great Sterling IX, no wise teaching is willing to make such a taboo route for the Sterling royal family.

Mr. Morsan pulled out of his arms a black deerskin purse with gold silk edges and grabbed a shiny silver towel from it and put it on the table: "Claude, I'll give you everything you deserve. As a father, I would not prefer any child, nor would I be unhappy with any of them. Your brother spent two semesters in middle school on a Silver Tall equestrian training fee, so you're no exception. When Little Booker grows up, he'll be treated just like you. ”

Claude looked at the silver taller on the table: "But Father, I want some money to buy some books. I heard from Boa that our town had just arrived in a new book the other day, and I wanted to check it out. ”

Albert stared at the big silver coin on the table with a flame in his eyes and couldn't help but explode when he heard Claude say, “Would you buy a book? You're just trying to find an excuse to cheat money out of your father and hang out with your friends! There are over a hundred books in the study, you can read them there enough! ”

Claude smiled, “You disappoint me as my brother. Father gave you access to the study, but you didn't use it properly. I've read all the books in the study over the past six months and made a lot of notes. If you don't believe me, you can look at the bookmarks and creases in the middle of those pages, which I left behind. ”

“You, have you read all the books in the study?” Mr. Morsan is also somewhat incredible.

“Yes, Father.” Claude nodded: “And I rearranged all the books in the library once, sort of on the shelves, and you used to put them so casually. ”

“Good. Loving books is a good thing.” Mr. Morsan was a little happy and pulled another little silver coin out of his purse: “Is one Riasso enough? Forget it, I'll give you two riazos to buy a book. ”

Claude nodded with a smile and picked up a large silver coin and two small silver coins from the table: "Thank you, Father, I'm full, I'm going to school. ”

Then he ran upstairs, and the bag was still upstairs in the attic.

Angelina on one side wiped her mouth with the linen napkin on the table and stood up, "I've had enough too, I went to school. ”

Pick up the deerskin bag on the side and go out.

“Father…” Albert looked at his father.

Mr. Morsan waved softly: "Abel, you are indeed a little harsh on your own brother. Actually, I don't care if Claude asks me for change. I care if he's making excuses for lying to me. He said buying the book was so simple that it was clear whether he had bought the book back and the price geometry. ”
