Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Familiar History Lesson
I'll tell you when you win me one day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a typical trick to sell guanzi, Lin Qiu once used this sentence to fool the young Liya, but he didn't expect that feng shui would take turns, and he himself tasted the consequences.
This was not a big deal, but the more Andrew sold it, the more curious Lin Qiu became. So for the rest of the whole history lesson, he was figuring out about it. Fortunately, their history teacher has not been replaced, and it is still the old gentleman with a hunched back and slurred speech. Lin Qiu didn't have to worry about the old gentleman suddenly rolling up his sleeves, revealing his long-cherished biceps, and punched out Julius and his absent-minded self.
"Ella, who did you say Andrew's head was talking about?" At this time, Ella was struggling with the first draft of today's daily newspaper in this good morning. It's not uncommon to have a sword instructor in a swordsmanship class, it's the two sides of the swordsmanship that are strange.
One is Lin Qiu, a figure who has been on the cusp of the daily newspaper since he came to the imperial capital, and the other is Andrew, one of the most heavyweight swordsmanship teachers in the Wind Furnace Academy.
She has only written a few lines, and she has already created the feeling of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow about fighting at the top of the Forbidden City.
Lin Qiu hurriedly glanced at the content of the daily newspaper, and felt that if he continued to write down the current content, he was afraid that the charges for causing the Hundred Years War would be pinned on his and Andrew's heads in the end. Apparently Ella had taken his advice to "write exaggeratedly", so within a month, she had cast Princess Sophia as the man behind everything behind the scenes.
Including Albert's succession and Richard's fall from grace, the evil princess planned it.
Lin Qiu felt as if he had become Ella's second target.
"How do I know?" Ella replied absentmindedly, while trying to scandalize Andrew's head as much as she could. After all, all the people in the imperial capital targeted by the "Imperial Capital Incredible" daily newspaper are only a small part of the people who have seen Andrew.
Lin Qiu read Ella's description of Andrew again, and basically except that he only had one head, the rest of the content completely deviated from the fact itself.
Especially the description that Andrew will become a werewolf as soon as he fights, Lin Qiu reserves his opinion.
"Cut, you know what, these are artistic processes!" said Ella, nonchalantly.
But the most dissatisfied person should be Julius. He buried his head on Richard's desk, listlessโhe had been kicked out of the field at his most desirable sword class, but he had to sit in on the most boring history class, and he had no interest in the history of Holutiah.
Young people should sweat in the snow and jungle to challenge the most vicious monsters. This is Julius's definition of manly youth, which, of course, is opposed by the vast majority of the students in the class.
It is worth mentioning that Richard and Lilith were not recorded as absent from school. The reason is that before class, the old gentleman was pleasantly surprised to hold Phoenix's wings with both hands, and said while shaking: "Lilith, I didn't expect you to become slim again after not seeing you for a few days...... Ah, I've already received the neutral literature you sent last time, thank you so much!"
Then he turned his head and looked at Julius, "But you, Richard, haven't changed at all." โ
I don't know if it was because the old gentleman held his wings, Phoenix's history lesson seemed very excited. She not only listened carefully, but also made up for the shortcomings of teaching for the old gentleman at all times:
Charles II, with his insight into the situation in neutral countries, initiated a series of internal reforms, such as the abolition of slavery and the change of the original military structure, so that commoners could enter the army, and if they performed on the battlefield, they could be knighted and become nobles. Because of this, the civilians were particularly brave on the battlefield, and the first group of civilians became the victorious army that was later talked about by the people of neutral countries. โ
The old gentleman selected some relatively important contents from the thick historical documents, and said to the dizzy students.
The leader of this victorious army was Harrod, who, though valiant on the battlefield, had a terrible reputation at home, and after receiving the knighthood, he lived a dissolute private life, and was rumored to have had affairs with a dozen prostitutes, and in his later years he died of a venereal disease at his own expense. โ
Phoenix's voice lifted the students, and she stood proudly on the table and looked around before continuing: "In addition, Charles II had a very strict control over public opinion in the country, so most of the literature about him in later generations was mainly positive, but in fact, during the reign of Charles II, the private life of the nobles was generally chaotic, and even Charles II himself had an affair with the daughters of several counts. โ
"Lilith is right. The old gentleman was not annoyed or angry at the "student" who interrupted his lecture, and said happily: "What Lilith is saying is the opinion of one of the historians, and these historians who are dedicated to the history of Charles II have come to a similar conclusion after collecting a variety of unofficial documents and records. โ
The old gentleman was an out-and-out obsessive lover of history, and held a high position in the historical society of the imperial capital. He enjoys discussing different perspectives on history with his students in class.
"You should be like Lilith-san studying for a very deep understanding of that history. โ
How to go deeper?
Phoenix holds her head high, she has witnessed the history of Charles II with her own eyes! She can even name the noble ladies who had an affair with Charles II!
"But!" The old gentleman suddenly took his attitude to the side, and he strode towards Lin Qiu, who was wandering outside, and his expression became extremely stern: "Tyr-san, how many times have I reminded you, studying the history of Herutia is extremely important to your understanding of this world in the future, I heard some students say that you are the chief student of this class, but please understand that every course in the Wind Furnace Academy has its necessity!"
The more the old gentleman talked, the more angry he became.
He rarely rushed off the stage, but when he praised "Lilith", he happened to see a scene in the front row of Lilith that annoyed him.
What about the chief student? Even if you are the chief student, you can't ignore the teacher!
This is especially true for the old scholars of history.
As he spoke, he grabbed "Lin Qiu" by the ear and lifted him up from the stool: "How many times have I warned you that you are not allowed to write those reports of yours in my class!"
Although the old gentleman didn't know how to swordsmanship, the technique of picking up his ears was perfect, and Ella, who was picked up, bared her teeth in pain, and tears were about to come out. Lin Qiu on the side was dumbfounded.
"Tyr, I have to teach you this lesson today!" said the old gentleman to Ella angrily.
