Hearing this, the baron hesitated unusually and glanced at Austin not far away: "However, Austin is still so young." ”

"No, it's not small, the children of other old nobles have already begun to enlighten, do you want our children to lose at the starting line? Or do you want him to be ridiculed just like you did? "Mrs. Smith, who is usually mild-mannered, is now extremely tough.

Hearing his wife's words, Adams couldn't help but have a look of embarrassment on his face.

Because it was only in his father's generation that the Smith family became a nobleman, his background was not as good as other nobles who were originally nobles and were awarded.

Therefore, the so-called aristocratic education he received when he was a child was not very perfect, and as for his wife's ridicule, he was ridiculed because he was ridiculed at a banquet when he first met his wife, because of his shallow knowledge of some nobles who should be familiar with knowledge.

Finally, the baron made up his mind: "You're right, you really can't let your child lose at the starting line, it's time for him to start receiving enlightenment, but it's up to you to arrange." ”

The Brian family was originally a branch of the Marquis family in the kingdom, so the inheritance is very deep, and it is very appropriate for Anna, who was born in the Brian family, to arrange the enlightenment education of children.

Although Austin on the side did not stop the movements of his hands, he had quietly pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation between the two.

The aristocracy of this world implements elite education, and the heirs of each nobleman will receive a strict education when they are young, so that each generation is passed down, although it is inevitable that there will be some gentlemen, but the nobles are still some people who stand at the top of this world, firmly holding power and knowledge.

At the same time, the aristocracy had a firm monopoly on the spread of knowledge, and the cost of education here was sky-high for the common people.

As far as he knew, among the servants in the castle, except for the butler, who had received a relatively good education, only a few of the most powerful knight squires had learned some writing in the training camp, and the rest were illiterate.

Adams and Anna on the throne glanced at each other, taking in Austin's small movements.

"Austin, would you like to start initiation now?" Mother Anna asked aloud, her tone soft, but the firmness in her eyes revealed her determination.

I'm afraid that if Austin is not willing to accept a boring education, she will use her mother's majesty to crush this naughty little one.

"I do! Mother. Austin put down the knife and fork in his hand and said loudly: "I can't wait, life on weekdays is too boring!" ”

At this time, he had a happy look on his face, looking like a good child.

In fact, this is a true role, due to his status, Austin has almost no playmates of the same age around him, of course, even if there is, he himself can't play with those little kids.

At the same time, those adults don't communicate with him as a peer, and with his younger age, he is now almost idle.

……

The Baroness was quick to move, and the next morning a well-dressed old man was invited into the castle of the Smith family.

The scholar seemed to have known the Baroness well enough to become his governess, and entered the study that the Baroness had prepared for Austin.

"Good day, teacher, may I ask what your name is......?" Austin greeted politely.

"Anthony Field. You can call me Anthony," Anthony looked at the polite Austin in front of him with interest, a look of surprise on his face.

It wasn't the first time he had served as a governess for these noble heirs, but it was the first time he had seen someone as polite as Austen. After all, children at this age are the time to be naughty.

"Okay, Mr. Anthony. So what will you teach me next? "Austin gets straight to the point.

"The lingua franca of the continent." Anthony paused before continuing: "Actually, as a noble heir, you have to learn a lot of things, from the most basic linguistics, deities, to aristocratic etiquette, general history of Visat, calculation and coordination, power and strategy, and so on.

However, for you at present, learning the lingua franca is the most suitable choice, and the study of the gods should be taught by your uncle, and the rest depends on your father's follow-up arrangements. ”

Speaking of this, Anthony's face flashed with pity, as a scholar, he believed in the recorder of natural color knowledge, the god of knowledge Ogma, but the baron's family firmly believed in the god of the coast and the port, so the teaching of deity would eventually be taught by the Church of the God of the Coast and the Port.

"Shall we start learning now?" Austin asked.

"Of course!" Anthony smiled lightly, took the chalk and began to write on the blackboard, he used a kind of flower script, although it looked a little complicated but very beautiful.

"Do you know what those five words mean?" Anthony tapped his fingers on the blackboard.

"I don't know!"

"Ancient Byronic Empire!" Anthony's face showed a look of longing: "Before I teach you the lingua franca of the mainland, let me introduce you to its origin."

Thousands of years ago, the entire world of Viat was shrouded in the glory of one empire, that is, the ancient Byron Empire, but unfortunately, the last emperor of the Empire, known as the god of knights, arrogantly waged war against all the churches, angering the true God.

For a time, many true gods sent oracles and even sent incarnations into the world of Visat, and finally the powerful and prosperous ancient Byron Empire collapsed overnight, and was divided into dozens of kingdoms after the war. The Kingdom of Stanley, to which our Duchy of Lane is attached, is one of them. ”

……

At noon, Anthony, having finished the lesson, left in a hurry after staying to share lunch with the baroness. As a well-known scholar, he was also short on time.

In the morning, when Anthony taught him the lingua franca, even though he had already restrained himself a little, the pace of his studies had exceeded the scholar's expectations, and he complimented him at the dinner table, much to the delight of the baroness.

After resting for a while, the baroness led Austin to a playground inside the castle.

At this time, there were more than ten knight attendants in the playground with their upper bodies practicing swordsmanship under the scorching sun.

Under the big tree next to the playground, there stands a wooden weapon rack with cross-swords, riding spears and other weapons.

At this time, a large man in leather armor was already waiting here.

"Austin, one of our family's two chief guards, Andrew, is my father's right-hand man, you can call him Uncle Andrew."

Austin looked at the big man in the vest in front of him with some curiosity.

The other party is burly and has a rough face, and just standing there gives people an invisible sense of oppression.
