Chapter Seventy-Two
-
Mo Shi turned his head to look at the elder standing in the corridor. Dino hurriedly turned to face him. He shuddered when he saw the elder's expression.
The academy administrator's eyes widened, his face turned pale, and he was flushed with anger.
Dino immediately wanted to apologize, but he also knew that his apology was useless and unreasonable.
"Mr. Moshi!" ...... Moshi," Dino shouted quietly, tugging at Moshi's sleeve a few times.
Everyone was looking at them.
Even the students in the classroom poked their heads out to look.
The young man who was pulled by the necklace and fell to the ground has not yet recovered from his senses. The bullied young man fell to his knees, trembling and his lips trembling as he recited a prayer hymn.
"Mr. Moshi......" Dino was a little impatient, looked around, and then returned his gaze to Moshi's face, expecting him to be able to read his eyes. However, Mo Shi's expression was not moved at all, and he looked straight at everything in front of him. This made Dino suddenly come to his senses.
He straightened his back and looked around again.
"Lord Morr, it is our duty to be members of the Firebird family who support this great university. He said, "I believe that just now, my retainers have dealt with the wrong things that have happened in your school. ”
He could feel Mo Shi stunned.
After a while, he heard Mo Shi whisper, "It seems that you don't have to learn any more rhetoric." ”
Dino almost couldn't help but smile, but Mor Amethyst's serious face made him hold back the smile.
"Hey!" came a shout from behind, and Dino could tell that it was the young man who was teased by Mo Shi before, "Tell me your last name, I didn't hear it clearly." ”
Dino turned around and said succinctly, "Firefinch." ”
The answer was good, but it was clear and easy to understand, and he didn't ask his surname as he wished.
The young man paused for a few seconds, then turned his head to Mo Shi: "What about him?"
"He's—" Dino swallowed back the introduction he was about to blurt out, and said instead, "His Majesty's astrologer and blessed of Lord St. Tuan, Moshi Toyoho." ”
"A bastard! Firefinch, you ...... You," the young man gritted his teeth, "didn't you just say he was your retainer?"
"To be precise, Firesparrow prides himself on his loyalty. Dino did his best to answer in a way that made it difficult to grasp the mistake.
"Was it his spell that brought me the humiliation I just had?"
Dino couldn't lie about it.
"My father is Duke Goldmane, the cousin of His Majesty the King. The youth said.
This is indeed a high status, and Mo Shi and Dino responded by pretending not to care, and their expressions were calm. Dino felt that the tacit understanding between himself and his young teacher had reached its peak at this time.
"He should apologize to me, Firefinch. He pointed to Mo Shi and said to Dino.
Dinoton
Finally, Mo Shi spoke.
"If I should apologize to you, then you should apologize to that gentleman as well. Naturally, if you can apologize to him, I will apologize to you. ”
"Ridiculous! Why should I apologize to that despicable fellow? Shouldn't he be punished if he walks where he shouldn't?"
Mo Shi's tone sharpened: "Even if he is your servant, you have no right to humiliate him. If only those in high positions deserve an apology, then perhaps the meaning of the word 'sorry' should be changed. Or are you, despite your noble birth, under-educated?"
"A lowly lowly Heyal and a hairy boy who hasn't even differentiated yet, no wonder you help that-"
Standing on the porch looking out over the chaotic courtyard, Mor Amethyst, realizing that her majesty could not stop the students' noise in this way, finally shouted at her:
"Shut it all!"
-
Spinel Academy is divided into White Temple, Blue Temple, and Sand Temple.
This distinction has nothing to do with the subject, the region, the academic level, but only the family.
Among the Hyars, scholars from families of earls and above were assigned to the White Temple, and those below were assigned to the Blue Temple. The so-called House of Sand was not a school at all, it was located in a corner away from the main building of the Spinel Academy, and only offered courses in medicine and calculation, and was an educational place for the high-ranking squires of the nobility - there were no khyars, only commoners.
The boy who was bullied in the courtyard just now is from the Blue Temple.
To many of the sons of the great nobles of the White House, he was an insignificant fellow, even so poor that they hated him.
The boy should not be yet thirty years old, he has not differentiated into adulthood, and his face is thin. His name is Jia Nan Zhen, and like Dino and Mo Shi, he just entered school this year, so he accidentally walked into the wrong building.
And the reason why he was caught and bullied was of course very simple - because he was poorly dressed and submissive, and he happened to be discovered by the gentlemen who liked to have fun.
He was now standing with Moser and Dino at Mor Amethyst's desk, while the young man from Duke Goldmane's house had returned to the classroom, and the only "punishment" he received was to go to the prayer hall before dinner to set a bell.
Mo Shi and Dino had to accept the criticism humbly, while the boy knelt down and begged not to be driven away, his eyes frighteningly red, and tears falling like rain.
"My father begged our master so much that he begged for a letter of recommendation for me, and in order to send me to the central center, he sold everything of value - please, my lord, I have just come here, and I cannot leave the Spinel Academy like this...... I am indeed stupid to not only go the wrong way, but also to defy those noble masters......"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Mo Shi with both grief and resentment, and at the same time lowered his head sharply in fear.
Mo Shi felt irritable and couldn't help but move, and the staff in his hand made a little noise against the ground. And this caused the boy to tremble.
Mo Shi couldn't help frowning.
The elder looked at them with a sigh.
"Go back, kid. His voice was majestic, and he was clearly experienced in dealing with such things, "For a week from tomorrow onwards, you will clean the back garden of the Blue Courtyard every day and write a confession before going to bed. That's it, you can go back. ”
After sending the boy away, his stern gaze returned to Dino and Moshi.
He looked at the red-haired boy, the child of a true Western aristocracy, who was inappropriate except for his accent. His eyes were very bright and not yet dusty.
He slowly moved his gaze to the young man with a complicated identity beside him.
The young man wore a black cloak and did not take off his hood even indoors. He seemed accustomed to carrying the long black staff with him, and he wore gloves, which made him look odd.
Mor Amethyst was born in the central government, and has been in the spinel academy for more than 70 years, and he is a person who really "has seen the world" -
He knew that the surname "Toyoho" came from the south and belonged to the unrecognized illegitimate sons of the Hhyar (and since he was highly valued by the Fire Sparrow and received special care from the king and the holy priests, his father's status should not be low). However, Morr remembered that most of the southerners had light hair and eyes, but the young man's dark eyes and black hair on the sides of his cheeks were very rare in the south, even in the whole country.
It is not easy for young people to judge their age, they can only say that they are about fifty years old. Small, handsome (by snowwalkers' standards), almost more like a girl—if his temper were similar to that of the young man from the Academy, he would have been teased and ridiculed.
But judging from what happened before, he certainly won't be an easy person to get along with. There was a strange rebelliousness in his expressionless face, but at the same time it seemed like he had been holding back something for a long time, so he looked as if he had been crushed by shackles, gloomy.
