Chapter 34: Abel

readx;? Abel stayed at Saunders' house as a diner and was well taken care of by Noah, setting up his room next door to him. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info also gave Abel some aristocratic courses, such as reading and writing, history, horseback riding, swordsmanship, archery, and court etiquette. However, Abel was not very happy with those boring things, forcing Noah to cut history and court etiquette, "Reading and writing must be learned, and you must learn it as soon as possible, and you will not be able to learn anything when you are old." Noah said.

But Abel didn't believe those words, thinking that it was just that they had grown stupid and couldn't rely on their age.

"You're ten years old now, which is too late by human standards. Noah said, "So you'd better work harder." ”

Abel put on a scholar's robe, and in addition to the close-fitting clothes, he put on a long robe, which dragged all the way to his feet. A muslin cloak was fastened to Abel's right shoulder with an iron clasp, and the cloak was also so wide that it dragged to his feet like a robe. The gold-patterned robe was accompanied by a cloak, and Abel was wrapped in cloth layer after layer like a cabbage.

"I prefer things like chain mail, at least not this one...... "Abel spun around in front of the mirror, looking around at the dress with both hands, just a few casual groping, Abel also found at least four pockets. The robe, the undergarment, full of pockets, reminded him of the leather armor that Serena wore when she traveled, the same pockets, and always pulling out something of value.

"Students should dress like this. Noah said, "This is a tradition, and all scholars and scholars wear it like this." When I was a kid, I loved it. ”

"You must have ......spent your childhood with prickly heat," Abel said irritably, "Aren't all nobles mainly to learn how to ride horses and fight?"

"No, the nobles' first and foremost thing is to remember all the families, their genealogies and proverbs. ”

"Why?"

"This is etiquette, and the nobleman needs to be immediately aware of which lord this is, whether he has a wife, which family his wife belongs to, whether he has children, how many sons and daughters, how old he is, whether he is a friend or foe. ”

"Can you remember it all?" Abel didn't believe Noah could do.

"Sometimes we need some time to prepare, but yes, I can remember it all, it's a necessary skill for a nobleman. Noah said with some pride: "Actually, we don't need to remember too much, we just need to remember the people who are stronger than us." ”

"Why, isn't that etiquette?" Abel asked.

Noah seemed to sigh and said, "Although I am very reluctant to say this, there is no need for nobles to negotiate with people whose power is much weaker than themselves. ”

Most of the nobles of Rant were subject to centralized power, but the further they went in the direction of Tours, the nobles still had a lot of power and fought for power. There is no need to deal with the weak cruel rules, which speak silently about these things.

After finishing the chores, Abel went to the teacher's room in an inconvenient robe.

Abel didn't like the robe, but Noah said that there was no chain mail, scale armor, leather armor, or plate armor in the whole city, and the angry Noah told him almost all the armor. But he was still replied by Abel, is there a rattan armor?

Able longed for adventure and the battlefield so much that even if he was illiterate, he had seen many different weapons in the theater. Every time he climbed through the window into the auditorium of the theater, he imagined himself to be an invincible warrior, bloody, elegant, or ruthless. A typical, child's dream.

Almost every child thinks so, at least thinks about it. But Noah didn't think so, he deliberately wanted to keep Abel away from these things, and Abel didn't understand it very well.

He had heard that two other children, both younger than Abel, would also join him in class. Noah specifically instructed him not to hit them. Unlike the tone he kept joking, Noah really told himself not to hit them.

"Please come in, we're about to start class. A man said in a cool voice, and Abel noticed that he had walked to the place where the class was held. The door was open, and the teacher stood in the doorway waiting for him.

"Don't make us wait!" said one of the children, who were brothers, Bert Sanders and Haydn Sanders.

"Diners......" said Haydn impatiently, "still an orc, and still come to delay our lessons." ”

"That's right. Bert said, "Tell the one who supports you, hire a teacher yourself." ”

The teacher seemed to get used to their tone, and only apologized to Abel with a smile, "I'm Hugo Ernest, and I'm in charge of the reading and writing courses of the two young masters and you, and I will also be in charge of the rhetoric, court etiquette, and history of the two young masters in the future." ”

"That's ......" Abel looked at the two noble young masters, who sat crookedly with a sneering smile, finally knowing why Noah asked him not to beat them. "Mr. Hugo has worked hard. ”

"It's just a matter of responsibility. Hugo said.

Although Abel is illiterate, he can be regarded as knowing some ways of speaking, and he is clearly mocking the two brothers just now. If it is a pity to say that Ebner can't understand people's ridicule, it is really a tragedy like these two brothers who not only don't understand but are also proud.

"The hairy one, don't waste other people's time. Bert said.

"That's right. Haydn echoed his brother, "Time is a treasure." ”

Abel didn't expect the relationship between two such mean people to be so good, so he found a chair and sat down.

This was the bedroom of the two brothers, and like all the nobles, the teacher was invited here to give a lecture, not the student to go to the teacher.

Abel saw that the two of them were not many years old from him, and if it was too late for him to learn to read and write at the age of ten, then these two people were not very good. They wore close-fitting silk wool jackets with gold embroidery that stretched across the chest, which was fastened with buttons and lacing and tights. It made them look very eccentric, with an unobstructed view of their stomachs and thick legs, and with stockings up to their knees, Able felt like he was surrounded by two clowns.

If it weren't for Tour's more ridiculous attire, Able would have almost burst out laughing. Some of the nobles of Tours liked to tie their calves tightly to make themselves look as if they were wearing a pair of loose underwear, and they liked to weave with four colors of fabric, one color on the left and one color on the right side of the blouse, and one color for the left and right legs of the trousers, and the whole body was dyed in four parts.

You never know where fashion is going to be funny.
