Early the next morning, Ron rode towards the Beiguan Fort. In addition to informing Angus and other high-ranking officers of Art's southward journey, ten hunter-turned-soldiers other than Matthew were selected to accompany them to the southern part of the valley.

Art summoned George to his side after breakfast, intending to inform him of his admission to the school.

“…… Father, are you looking for me? George gently pushed open the door to the official room on the first floor of the wooden castle, poked his head in and looked around. Camille, who was following behind, saluted Art and left.

"George, come here." Art beckoned George to come to her.

"Early in the morning, I heard your mother say that you went to play somewhere else. Tell your father, what did you do? Looking at the unwiped dirt on George's trouser legs and the dirt left in his nails, Art asked, without the slightest hint of blame. He then hugged George to his lap.

"That's right, Father. I went to the open field with a few friends who were having a good time near the wooden castle to compete in the open space. ”

"Sword match?" Although Art knew that his son liked to dance and play with swords, he didn't expect this little guy to be so obsessed with swordsmanship.

"Then tell your father, who won this sword competition?" Art asked with interest.

"Of course I won, even the kid who was a few years older than me couldn't beat me." George looked proud and proud.

It's not like nothing that Art hasn't seen when George is playing with other children. In his memory, the older child was much more qualified than George, and he would not lose to his pampered son in any way. There's only one explanation - that guy deliberately let George in the competition.

Although George is not very old now, he has begun to compete and rejoice. Not only is this not conducive to his growth, but it is not something worthy of boasting and showing off by the heir to the throne of the Earl of Wales.

After thinking for a moment, Art said to George, "George, do you know why you won?"

George looked puzzled, turned his head to look at Art, and said, "Because I'm better than him!"

"Because you are the son of an earl!" Art then corrected George's opinion.

George, who was still young, naturally didn't know why Art didn't agree with him, and just hung his head quietly.

"Child, you have to know. The reason why you can win now is not because you are strong or skilled in swordsmanship, but because they are in the way of your identity, they deliberately let you. Father is telling you this now, and you may not understand. But you have to remember that just winning others in swordsmanship is not a glorious thing, to win, you must win people's hearts. Art said to George with a serious face.

"People's hearts?" George was a little curious, "What is the human heart?" ”

"Do you know why my father was able to lead an army to defeat the enemy and make everyone loyal to me?"

George shook his head helplessly, a look of adoration flashing in his eyes. Because in his eyes, his father is a tenacious, brave, and victorious man.

"Because my father won hearts and minds."

In this way, George seemed to understand something, but he still couldn't understand it.

"That's all for today, and you'll slowly understand when you grow up." Art set George aside, and he walked straight to the table to the side and poured himself a Welsh beer.

"Father called you here today mainly to tell you something." Art felt refreshed after taking a sip of beer, and his tired face regained a glimmer of light. "You're not too young, I've discussed it with your mother, and I'm going to send you to the Valley School to be educated with other children."

"Father, you mean I'm going to stay with those lifeless, serious-looking priests all day." As soon as Art's words fell, George resisted. Because he had heard from other children that they were "pressed" by the academy masters all day long to learn arithmetic and history and other boring things. And George himself secretly went outside the school window to "verify" what those guys said was true. Therefore, this young master Kuo, who was accustomed to being wild all day long, was extremely disgusted with the school, and said that he did not want to stay with those boring clergy.

After some persuasion, George still didn't listen, like a stubborn donkey.

"What do you think?" Art really can't help his son, so he has a plan. "If you promise to go to the academy to study, your father will take the time to teach you how to use a sword and how to control a horse~"

George, who was sitting on one side of the chair, suddenly jumped up and asked excitedly, "Father, are you telling the truth?"

"If you promise me to go to the academy and study hard, my father will never break his promise."

"Good! I promise you yes. ”

In this way, George agreed to go to the academy under the persuasion and temptation of Art's bitter words.

"Honey, or do you have a way to ......"

After George left, Lottie, who had been eavesdropping outside the door for a long time, walked in.

"Now you can rest assured, the child has finally agreed to go to the school~" Art took a deep breath and felt a little headache for his son.

Lottie walked up behind Art, kneading his aching shoulders and neck.

George had intended to go to the school, since he had heard from other children that dealing with dull priests in the school was not much better than dealing with the devil. In addition to learning words and arithmetic every day, it is better to recite the words of the Bible, and it is better to play with your friends. Lottie kept grunting.

"No wonder he resisted entering the academy so much, it turned out to be this reason."

"I think you might as well change the model of the school, so that maybe the children will be more willing to take the initiative to be educated. Dealing with church people all day long, no one can stand it, let alone these children~"

Lottie's thought reminded Art of the truth.

"You're right, now that the place is bigger and there are more people, it's time for the education model of the school to change. Well, when I return from my survey of the valley, I'll start with the school reform. I went to the school a few days ago to have a look, and because there were too many people, I had to use the school building in batches. It's time to expand the size of the academy so that more talent can be trained. ”

Lottie nodded in agreement, happy that George was no longer in that old-fashioned education.

"I also recently found a problem, like the group of people who have received the academy education before, in addition to doing things according to the rules of the academy, their brains are not flexible enough. Except for some fixed positions that suit them, it's really hard to take on big responsibilities. For example, the military judge Matthew, who had studied in the academy before, didn't have anything to say about this guy's mission, but his brain was not flexible enough. ”

"What about Ron?" Lottie asked.

"Ron is different, he has always been by my side, his ears and eyes are very flexible, and his brain is much more flexible, otherwise I would not have made him my knight......"166.com
