The young people quickly became acquainted with each other after using the battle they had just spoken as a common language.

Originally, Tristan was respectful to Gawain, the knight, but Gawain persuaded him for a while before letting him talk to him as an adventurer.

After the three of them drank the wine in the cup again, the world is not so strict about the management of drinking, for ordinary people, being able to make money and drink is half of a man's maturity, and the other half is to find a mother-in-law to have a baby.

Tristan asked, "What about another brother, why didn't he come?"

Lancelot took the opportunity to pour wine to prevent Tristan from seeing his expression, and Gawain smiled and said, "Eat meat over there." ”

At this moment, Isolde of Tristan was holding a basket in one hand and a low table in the other. She placed the low table on the grass, then took a plate of roasted chestnuts and a small plate of roasted sausage slices from the basket and a few forks sharpened from wood and placed them on the low table.

Just as Gawain and the three of them sat down to chat, Mordred, who was holding a light glass of honey water as a drink, walked over with a full burp.

As soon as Mordred sat down, Tristan said, "I can't see that this little brother has so much strength and can fight in such heavy armor." ”

Then Mordred's face darkened.

Although there was a small fuss, several young people quickly chatted happily with each other.

Lancelot asked Tristan, "You are good at archery, and you must not be bad at swordsmanship, why don't you become an adventurer if you have such good skills?"

Tristan, who was peeling roasted chestnuts, shook his head and said, "My uncle and I used to be adventurers for a few years just to eat, and I don't want to do that kind of life anymore. ”

"There are quite a few people in our factory who used to be adventurers or soldiers, and many of them are wounded to some extent. When they arrived, they were able to sleep peacefully under the protection of the high walls. ”

"Like today's big herd of fire monkeys, now we can use the walls and slowly consume them, if the village that was a little weaker before would be breached, and then the grain, the livestock, and even the children would be eaten by them. ”

"Now the life here is not bad, usually feed the chickens, when the monster comes, we will go to the city wall to fight off the monster, and after the fight, we will drink to celebrate, and it is not a disappointment to this strength. ”

As he spoke, Tristan peeled all the roasted chestnuts, which were picked up in the woods in the autumn and often used as snacks.

Lancelot picked up a chestnut and ate it, and said, "The world is so big, don't you want to see it?"

"Maybe. Tristan gave Isolde a chestnut, "In a few years, Isolde and I will have a child, and then I want to go out with the caravan and make some money, and when the child grows up, he will send him to study in the Knowledge City." ”

At this time, Gawain, who had just stopped Mordred from eating a roasted sausage slice and stuffed a roasted chestnut in her hand, said: "Studying in the city of knowledge costs money, everything is expensive there, only the sea breeze is free." ”

At this moment, Tristan's face began to darken, and even the knight said that reading was expensive, so it would be difficult for him to afford it.

After eating the chestnuts, Mordred said: "If your strength is about the same as that of Brother Gawain, it will be easy to do, and the bonus from the monthly exam can ensure a normal life for more than a month." ”

"Really?" The one who was surprised was Lancelot, who had just passed the trial of the blue ice goblin in the pond and was given a sword, and was now in the stage of self-confidence.

Although he thought that the ice elf had a problem with his brain, the ice magic released by the goblin was in the attack blind spot directly in front of her.

"Really. Mordred replied, "But you have to enroll in the school first, and the condition for admission is that you have a noble recommendation of a baron or above, or pay a large registration fee to the school, or pass the entrance exam." ”

Lancelot ruled out the first two options and asked, "What is the exam like?"

He didn't want to go to school himself, but he wanted Gnavelle to go, because Linda's hired teacher said she was very talented.

"The exams mainly test the two basic subjects of writing and arithmetic and other optional subjects such as swordsmanship, magic and painting, and the scores of each subject are taken into account when admitting students from different schools. ”

Tristan turned his head and asked Isolde, who was sitting next to him, "Why don't we go to the exam, I heard from the night school teacher that your grades are good." ”

Isolde smiled and said, "Try it if you want to." ”

Tristan was visibly a little moved, and was a little absent-minded in the rest of the chat.

As the men in the factory had to work the next day, they went back to their homes at ten o'clock in the evening to rest, and there was only the flotilla left in the square, and they needed to relax after being on board for so long.

At about half past six the next morning, the sound of wake-up calls wafted over the residential area.

There is only one table clock in the whole factory, and there are three people with inconvenient legs and feet who take care of it in three shifts. There was a sundial outside the room where the clock was kept, and the man on duty at noon was in charge of keeping time. Every morning and at commute, the person on duty will blow the trumpet.

Tristan's breakfast at home was a piece of bread and a bowl of dried fish, and Tristan was distracted from breakfast this morning, and a spoonful of soup almost went into his nostrils.

His uncle Mark, who sat across from Tristan, had only one arm, so Isolde would break the bread and put it in the soup when he helped him prepare breakfast.

Eating breakfast, Mark soon noticed that something was wrong with Tristan, and he asked, "Tristan, what are you thinking about not eating well?"

Tristan replied, "Uncle, I want to work in the factory early." ”

Mark frowned, he didn't speak, just stared at Tristan.

Tristan was a little uncomfortable stared at, and he said, "I want to do something that pays a lot of money." ”

Mark looked at Tristan, who was not behaving normally, and then at Isolde, who was next to him, who should know what was going on, and asked, "You guys got killed?"

"No! no!" Tristan hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, and Isolde next to him blushed and lowered his head.

Tristan said cautiously, "Isolde and I are going to try our luck in the Knowledge City. ”

"Are you serious?" Mark's expression turned serious.

Tristan nodded firmly and said, "Yes, uncle." The teacher at the night school said that if you want to live a good life, you must have a civilized mind in addition to a strong body. ”

Mark frowned again, then silently ate the breakfast in front of him.

Seeing that his uncle was silent, Tristan and the others were silent.

After a silent breakfast, Mark left the house and walked to the workshop, where he now works every day
