Chapter Fifty-Three: The Knight Academy

PS: Thank you for the Stone Town Reward! ~

The knight class in this world, in fact, the most obvious difference from the Middle Ages on Earth is that the knights of the Middle Ages on the Earth, as the lowest nobles, can own fiefs and fiefs, while here, the knights are more like senior employees of the company, but the contract is for life......

Leo turned over and dismounted under heavy protection, since he knew the church's intentions, he began to pay attention to his own safety every time he traveled, although according to the professor's analysis, the church will not do it for the time being, but where there is a completely absolute thing

Taking off his gloves, Leo raised his head and looked at the gate of the academy not far away with some emotion, and before he got close, he could feel the quaint and vicissitudes of life coming from it, which is a kind of precipitation and accumulation from history

The gate for eight carriages was flanked not by the usual walls or fences of the college, but by a structure similar to the parapet of a castle, with two prismatic watchtowers on either side of the corners for lookout guards

After walking forward to the gate, in the center of the main road, instead of the usual pool or flower bed of this era, a tall knight's whole body statue stands tall in the most prominent place

Although the time is close to the depths of winter, you can still see many students wearing simple white cotton robes or light armor moving around the academy in twos and threes......

That's right, Leo finally accepted Saru's invitation to Lealdo, although Auston kept hinting that the other party had a different purpose, but Leo, who didn't care much about the chaos in the imperial capital, still wanted to meet this legendary knight in person

**********************

Handing the gloves to Finn behind him, Leo couldn't help but clap his hands lightly and sighed to Saru, who was beside him

"The more I contact, the more I can feel the deep shock brought by the imperial capital, this thick sense of history is an existence that no city can imitate, I think, through this trip to the imperial capital, I have learned a lot, my friend!"

"I feel extremely honored by your compliment, Your Excellency Leo, since its establishment, the Imperial Capital Knight Academy has always been the pride of all the people of the Empire, and for hundreds of years, many great figures and legends have been born among the knights trained by the Academy......

Probably near the Knight Academy, Saru, who usually has a loud voice, also lowered his voice at this time, for fear of affecting the tranquility in front of him, and the expression on his face was extremely solemn

Nodding, Leo looked at the surrounding scenery and motioned for Saru to follow and walk forward slowly, "Dear Saru, before you meet Your Excellency Lealdo, can you give me a brief introduction to the situation of the Academy, you know, I am very curious about these."

"Of course, I'd love to," he said, handing the whip to his attendant, Saru organized his vocabulary before speaking slowly

"Although the college has undergone a long period of development and has been constantly changing and improving in terms of training and education, in general, it is mainly summarized in these aspects."

Patting the long sword at his waist, Saru smiled

"First of all, of course, horseback riding and various combat skills, every reserve knight here has to be trained and honed in riding and various combat skills for up to 3-5 years, as far as I know, there are currently more than 10 weapons subjects in the academy......."

"It's really unbelievable, is the combat skill of all the weapons here a skill that the knight must be proficient in? With all due respect, Lord Saru, I'm afraid this will take a long time! ”

After listening to Leo politely, Saru seemed to have expected the other party's question, and said with a smile

"It is impossible to be completely proficient, and there is no need for this, the knight's main weapons are still a few conventional ones, but for other types must also have a detailed enough understanding, as well as relatively skillful use, because on the battlefield, any situation will happen, and the enemy is impossible to wait for you to find the right weapon!"

"Very wise conclusion, can I know which of you said this?" For the first time, Leo was a little surprised, and in this ignorant world, especially among the stereotypical knights, he didn't expect anyone to say such a thing......

"You will soon see him, and it is the Venerable Lealdo who has made this change after taking office!"

Saru replied with a smile, admiration in his eyes but no pretense, paused, and after seeing that Leo had no doubts, he continued to introduce

"In addition, the preparatory knights also have to learn various languages, well, for example, classical languages and modern languages, which will facilitate their dealings with some ancient families, and a certain amount of demeanor and etiquette courses must also be systematically studied, which combined with these will play an important role in improving the cultural literacy of knights and standardizing the behavior of the entire upper class society, including the urban aristocracy!"

As Saru narrated, Leo listened quietly and nodded approvingly from time to time, having already made up his mind that after returning to the Northern Territory, he must also have his own knight academy in Stormwind City......

As he walked and talked, Leo's originally peaceful gaze suddenly froze, and he frowned and stared at a middle-aged man with a kind smile and a middle-aged man dressed in the costume of a church priest, constantly shuttling and talking among the students, and he wondered

"I'm sorry, Saru, my friend, I didn't know that the students of the Imperial Knight Academy still have religion?"

Following the direction of Leo's eyes, Saru only glanced up to understand what was going on, exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and explained with a wry smile

"No, except for a few people, most of the Academy's top officials, including Lord Lealdo, are disgusted by the Church's infiltration and demagogy of the students, and they believe that the only faith that knights need to uphold is that they should be loyal, and those with strong minds should not pin their hopes on mysterious and ethereal gods, but ......"

Cautiously looking around, Saru leaned close to Leo and said lightly, "It's just that, I don't know why, Recently, Your Majesty listened to the proposal of the second prince and agreed to cooperate with the church in politics and other aspects, which is why these nasty flies appeared!" ”

"Oh?" The first thing that came to Leo's mind was ***** thoughts, but he quickly put aside these irrelevant issues, whether it was church infiltration or other intentions, he didn't need to pay too much attention to it for a short time

Patting Saru's shoulder comfortingly, Leo smiled and said, "I guess the progress of these church personnel is not so smooth, right, most of the talents who can enter the academy should be determined people?" ”

"On the contrary, Your Excellency, these carefully selected priests and missionaries of the Church, with a little occult trickery and great knowledge, have won the favor of the majority of the students, and Lord Lealdo has often been troubled by this matter lately......"

"Speaking of Lord Lealdo, dear Saru, I think the Lord has already greeted you......" Leo smiled and pointed to the group of people standing outside the main building of the academy not far away, one of them was a tall and muscular figure at the front, standing straight against the cold wind......

Hearing this, Saru raised his head and glanced at it in some surprise, and then laughed loudly, "It seems that your Excellency is very much looking forward to meeting with you, Your Excellency Leo, in my impression, except for His Majesty's presence in person, I have hardly seen your Excellency come out to greet anyone in person......"
