6. Aristocrats
An uncle was surprised: "Free? ”
He lowered his head and asked, "Do you want to learn?" If you want to learn, did you hear what the principal said? We won't have to pay for four hours, can you hold on? ”
The child's eyes were resolute, and he gritted his teeth and nodded, "I can." ”
A person next to him immediately patted the uncle on the shoulder and said, "Do you want your son to die?" You don't look at the sun in the sky either, and you let a ten-year-old stand for four hours in this weather? Was it your own? ”
That's right, standing under the scorching sun this season, even if it's a soldier, it's rare to do this, let a teenager go to the punishment station?
Crazy, right? It's going to die.
This is no longer something that can be solved by insistence, let alone four hours, two hours will kill people, does this headmaster not want civilians to learn magic? Even if it were, there was no need to humiliate us in this way.
In the aristocratic carriage, four children glanced at each other.
"To go or not?"
A fat man shrank his head and whispered: "I'm me, I'm not going, it's not that I can't pay the money, why should I suffer." ”
"It's so uncomfortable to stand for a few minutes, let alone for a few hours."
Are they worried about whether they will die, there is a great mage here to guard, and they can still let you die in the sun? Don't say four, if the Grand Magus is willing, even if you are allowed to bask for a day and a night, nothing will happen.
So death does not exist, and it is estimated that it is only a test of the perseverance of the students.
……………………
Learn magic for free.
After this village, there will be no such shop, do I really want to go home and farm?
The child who was asked by the uncle before is now struggling very much, he is afraid of death, but he is not willing to work in the middle of the field for the rest of his life and live the same life as his parents. Every time he sees the efforts of his parents, he feels that his parents deserve a better life.
Two gold coins.
Not to mention two, even ten silver coins can't be taken out by their family, and my younger brother was dragged to death by a minor illness three years ago. If you don't have money to cure your illness, can you still have two gold coins to learn magic?
He twitched his arm and found that his father had a firm grip on his hand, and he couldn't break free for a while.
The uncle used to want his son to work hard, but now when he hears the words of others, he is very scared in his heart, and he also feels that this is an impossible task.
Even if it is yourself, you will stay in the field for half an hour at most, and then you have to go to a shady place to rest and drink a sip of water. Otherwise, they will definitely faint in the field, and doing what they can is the only belief they have in their lives until now.
"No one?" Li Yue asked.
Everyone was silent, but they also came out with a way.
Dozens of richly dressed people came down from a dozen carriages, and even the slaves who bowed and nodded were better dressed than the commoners present, and the masters and little masters were even more dressed in gold and inlaid with precious stones.
A middle-aged man walked in the front, his golden hair was draped over his shoulders, and he was as soft as a woman, Li Yue felt that in modern times, countless shampoo companies would look for this person to advertise.
"Hello Master Li Yue, I'm Yuri, Marquis of the Kingdom of Behemoth, and I'm glad to be able to meet you here."
Li Yue put down his hood, put his left hand on his chest, and made a courtesy at the same time as the marquis.
It is necessary for the marquis to salute Li Yue, but Li Yue is casual, the status of the Grand Magister is several levels higher than that of the marquis of the kingdom, just like the provincial governor and the county magistrate meet.
"Well, is Yuri-sama here to send the children to school?"
"Yes, I have a daughter, a son, who is studying at the Royal Academy of Magic, is about to graduate, and is the jewel of my palm. My son is only 12 years old and has not yet started learning magic. ”
"Then your choice must be right, although our Hogwarts is only in its infancy, the future is extremely bright, and you and your son will not regret their choice in the future."
Yuri laughed and said, "Of course, we all believe in Master Li Yue's strength. ”
He beckoned to the back and said, "Hausman, Mark, come here." ”
The two children separated from the crowd and walked up to Li Yue, who had heard many stories of magicians since they were children and were envious of magical magic. Now standing in front of Li Yue, the pinnacle of the magic world, his expression is timid.
Li Yue nodded: "Don't be afraid, your magic talent is good, you will definitely be able to become a well-known magician in the future, work hard." ”
Yuri took out a bag of gold coins and said: "Hausman is my son, Mark is my friend's child, I have been raising my friend since he died, just like my own, these two children will be handed over to you in the future, I hope to take care of them more." ”
Yuri handed the gold coin bag to Li Yue, who reached out and took it and took out six gold coins from it. Then he returned the gold coin to Yuri.
"The tuition fee of four gold coins, plus the food expenses of the two gold coins I collected on my own initiative, a total of six gold coins, you can take the excess back, I will not charge it."
In the eyes of the aristocracy, gold coins are just a pile of metal, more or less unconceptual. In the eyes of the common people, the astronomical number is actually just a meal in their concept, and he was a little stunned when he saw Li Yue receiving so little.
It's true that the teaching fee is four gold coins, but this meal is only two? These are still two people, if it is one person, then isn't it only one gold coin a year? What can you eat? Pork meat?
Li Yue saw his expression and explained: "All our students here are treated equally, and the meals are all eaten in the cafeteria, so it's not too good, but the nutrition will definitely be able to keep up, and you won't be hungry for your son, don't worry." ”
Yuri nodded, thinking that I couldn't give the money to my son so that he could go out and eat by himself when he wanted to eat.
Seeing that Li Yue was going to throw the money on the table for people to write down, Mark quickly stood up and said, "No, I don't have to spend tuition, I want to see how long I can last under the scorching sun." ”
Ori's face changed, and he scolded: "Are you crazy? You're going to stand there with those civilians? ”
He pointed to the clearing in the distance where people had begun to stand, and it was full of commoners who had no money, and the nobles had not passed over to any of the twenty or so children who had come today, and were still looking at them with contempt.
In their eyes, this is a sign of lack of money, that is, poverty.
Although Yuri didn't think about it like this, it was humiliating to let his nephew stand with those people and be watched by the nobles.
"No kidding, I've already got two gold coins, and you'll study hard at Hogwarts in the future, and I hope you'll already know a magic or two by the next time you get home."
Mark wasn't joking, he secretly glanced at Li Yue, and after seeing Li Yue's appreciation for himself in his eyes, he was even more sure of his thoughts.
