Papló is an ordinary assistant teacher in the junior knight academy, although he has no power in his hands, but he is absolutely familiar with this knight academy.

Walking out of the teaching building and standing in front of the marble-paved jogging platform, Assistant Teacher Paplo looked at Surdak, who was younger than himself, and asked very enthusiastically, "Knight Surdak, have you brought your luggage and retinue?" ”

There are two rows of plane trees between the main teaching building and the playground in the college, and now the leaves of the plane trees have turned yellow, one by one spread on the grass, and several teams in the playground practice phalanxes in an orderly manner, not an instructor shouting slogans.

Surdak set his eyes on the school gate in the distance and said to Assistant Teacher Paplo, "My horse is parked at the school gate. ”

Facing the upcoming campus life, Surdak still had some faint expectations in his heart, he looked up at the knight's badge on the top of the teaching building, the knight's badge with the sword and shield crossed, and looked at the gorgeous building full of baroque style, there were several statues on both sides of the marble steps, and these exquisite busts corresponded to black stone tablets, each stone tablet was engraved with a line of text, probably to introduce the life exploits of these statue characters.

Each statue is a hero who walked out of the Knight Academy of Highlandza, and Assistant Teacher Paplo led Surdak through the corridor full of statues, and did not want him to introduce the glorious deeds of these heroes, but said as he walked: "There are special stables in the academy, and those horsemen are very professional, you can leave the horses to them to take care of." ”

Seeing that Surdak was listening carefully, he continued: "However, this expense is not included in the tuition fee, you need to pay a miscellaneous fee, about ten silver coins per month, and forty-five silver coins for half a semester, of course, you can also store your horse outside the academy!" But in that case, it will be somewhat inconvenient, and you will have to prepare your horse in advance for each equestrian lesson, and if it is convenient, you can foster the horse in the academy and the equestrian lesson will be much more convenient. ”

The three-piece set of horses and matching saddles and knight's light armor is one of the most expensive places in the knight academy compared to other colleges.

Many apprentice riders will prepare their horses, saddles and leather armor at the beginning of the school year, of course, there are some probationary riders who do not have the financial conditions, and they need to temporarily rent the public horses in the academy every time they take riding lessons, which is not expensive, but this does not include practice outside the course, and there is no way to practice riding skills only during the time in the class.

The most common horse will also sell for more than three gold coins in the market, and this does not include the saddle. A leather saddle with pedals, leather whips, stabbing needles, hangers and other supporting equipment, if you want to buy all the accessories, you need at least two gold coins, and if you want to ride a horse, you also need a set of light leather armor, plus tuition, if these expenses are counted together, it will cost at least ten gold to support a trainee knight.

For many ordinary families in Highlandsa City, this is a lot of money, usually new students do not buy horses in advance at the beginning of the school year, at first they rent the public horses in the college, and after the second year, after the riding classes are frequent, the students will consider buying a horse of their own.

However, Surdak belongs to the knights' regiment to train knights, and usually such knights have their own horses, and Surdak is no exception, and he is called a knight if he does not ride a horse.

Surdak thought about it, except for fostering in the academy, he really had no other place to place this Gubolai horse, and since the academy could arrange a full-time groom, Surdak decided without even thinking about it, "Then I'll foster it in the academy." ”

Seeing that Surdak did not hesitate, Assistant Teacher Paplo knew that he was also a good money-bearer, and the smile in his eyes became much kinder, and he said to Surdak: "Then I will take you to handle the boarding of horses first, and then take you to the place where you live, and finally the classroom where you will take classes, you need a class schedule, and you have to prepare different courses every day, let me see the courses I major in the second grade and the courses that need to be elective......"

Along the way, Assistant Coach Baplo told Surdak about the life in the academy, the stable in the academy is located next to the equestrian field at the back of the college, and there are two rows of stables against the back wall, Surdak led the horse and followed Assistant Coach Paplo into the stable, and found that there were at least nearly 100 healthy horses in this stable, most of which were the most common Gubolai horses in the Green Empire, and there were actually two green scale horses in the innermost fence of the stable.

Seeing that Surdak was a little stunned looking at the two precious blue-scaled horses, Assistant Coach Paplo showed a hint of pride, puffed up his chest and said to Surdak very proudly: "Surdak knight, I heard that you have just returned from the plane battlefield, haven't you seen the green-scaled horse?" ”

Surdak withdrew his gaze from the scales of the legs of the green-scaled horse, this kind of war horse with the blood of a strange beast is the best war horse in the Green Empire, but unfortunately after killing the dark red knight, his black-scaled horse did not wait outside the sulfur mine, Surdak also looked around the mine casually, but did not find the scale horse.

"The knights of the Constructed Knights in our legion are all black, and I have never seen this kind of cyan before." Surdak said to Assistant Coach Baplo.

Baprosuke coughed violently twice, "Ahem, the green scale horse is also a war horse second only to the black scale horse, and it is usually a knight who is only qualified to ride. ”

When the two of them met the keeper of the stables, he was taking two grooms to give the horses grass next to the hay pile, and another young groom mixed the soaking hay with the soaked beans, which made Surdak think that the horses here were well fed, and that it was at least worth the miscellaneous fee of ten silver coins a month.

After Paplo had explained his intentions, the steward of the stables glanced at the mark on the horse's leg, wrote a new number next to the mark, and asked the groom to lead the Gubolai horse into the stable, and Surdak, the Gubolai horse, did not feel any discomfort in the unfamiliar environment, and he walked slowly into the stable, and the Gubolai horse, who was standing at the outermost part of the stable, kicked his hooves with some uneasiness, and his body involuntarily ducked inside, vacating a place for Surdak's horse.

Seeing the arrogance of his horse, Surdak could only bite the bullet and say, "...... It seems to be very adaptable to life here. ”

……

Walking through the knights' training ground next to the stables, I happened to see dozens of trainee knights practicing the use of large wooden guns on the training ground.

This kind of large wooden gun belongs to the standard weapons of heavy cavalry on the battlefield, usually made of ironwood and indigo wood, the length is generally more than five meters, the tip of the wooden gun is usually wrapped with iron sheet, after the plane war has begun, this kind of large wooden gun has been gradually eliminated by the battlefield, the main reason is that this kind of large wooden gun wrapped with iron can not cause any damage to the dark army's Nakma people, Nibru, demons and faceless, so this large wooden gun has become a knight's spear made of black iron at the tip, However, the knight's spear was more demanding on the arm strength of the heavy cavalry.

Ten apprentice knights riding Guborai horses with large wooden spears painted with various patterns in their hands looked very lively as they galloped side by side on the training ground.

However, as a former member of the heavy infantry regiment, Surdak did not have any good feelings for the heavy cavalry, although on the main battlefield in front of Moyunling, the heavy cavalry was once the main force against the demon army, but the battle of Moyunling was like a sea tide and retreated, and finally reached the point of being out of control, which has a lot to do with the collapse of the fighting will of the Moyunling heavy cavalry regiment.

Compared with the heavy cavalry, Surdak felt that the light cavalry on the battlefield was more flexible, and the combination of the long sword and the knight's light shield could at least work with the heavy infantry.

The knight training ground in the academy is very large, at least occupying more than half of the area of the knight academy.

When he was about to walk out of the training ground, Surdak saw the future young heavy cavalry picking up the big wooden spears to the scarecrow at the finish line, and then collectively cheered, thinking that Augustus in the second squad was a graduate of the Warrior Academy, but the training in the academy did not save the fiery and fierce man at the most critical time. The man's life, he died on the battlefield like the rest of the squad.

The dormitory area of the academy is completely separated from the knight's college, and Assistant Professor Paplor takes Surdak downstairs to the second building, where the main body of the building is made entirely of square stone strips, and the wooden doors and windows are delicately designed with round arches and painted with white paint, which makes the dormitory look very bright.

"There are a total of four buildings in the dormitory area, each building is an independent grade, this building belongs to the second-year dormitory, the college provides these dormitories for free, of course, the dormitory management is also extremely strict, once you do not comply with the dormitory management regulations, the first time will be warned by the dormitory management, the second time will be expelled from the dormitory, of course, there are also many houses for rent around the college, it is more comfortable to live in than the dormitory here, but there is one point, it is close to the rich area, and the rent is not cheap."

"Knight Surdak, are you sure you're going to live on campus?" Assistant Teacher Paplo stood at the door of the dormitory and asked Surdak again.

"Of course, living here, it's closer to the academy, and it's much more convenient to take classes." Surdak replied without thinking.

"That's true, I still miss the student dormitory in the college very much, although the management system is a bit harsh, but it is better than renting outside." With that, Assistant Professor Paplo pushed open the door to the dormitory and showed his badge to the dormitory administrator at the door.

The registration process was not complicated, and soon Surdak received a nameplate for his accommodation, and then the dormitory manager led Surdak to the corner room on the top floor.

The dormitory administrator stood at the door and opened the door, there was a bed on the left and right of the wall inside, a thick layer of dust and messy footprints were spread on the ground, the door of the south terrace was open, and there were two dirty linen shirts hanging on the clothesline, it seemed that no one had lived here for a long time, the dormitory administrator lowered his eyelids and said quickly: "There are two beds in each room, and you are the only one in this dormitory at present, but this does not mean that you will always live alone, once there is a transfer like you, I'll put him with you......"

The room was not very large, the most basic bedding was available, but it was not usually dirty, the stone walls were painted with a layer of off-white paint, and there was a very old parchment map with some messy graffiti on the map, there was a wooden table and wooden chair at the head of each single bed, and there was a small cabinet near the wall, next to the cabinet was a human-shaped wooden frame, apparently this wooden frame was used to hang armor, and there was also a place to hang weapons and shields.

Surdak walked into the dusty room and saw several flower pots on the stone railing of the balcony, the flowers and plants in them had not been watered for a long time, and several unknown plants had long since dried up, and all the leaves had disappeared, looking bare and extremely depressed.

The dormitory manager rolled his eyes, stared at Surdak with an indifferent expression and said: "During your stay, you must strictly abide by the dormitory management regulations, otherwise I have the right to expel you, and if you agree, sign your name here......"

'Surdak'

Surdak casually wrote his name, and the middle-aged dormitory administrator turned around and left.

Standing at the door of the dormitory, Assistant Teacher Paplo looked up at the cobwebs on the lintel, and laughed dryly, probably embarrassed that he had just boasted about how good the dormitory was, he stood at the door, looked at his polished sheepskin boots, and finally did not bother to walk into the dusty dormitory, he said to Surdak: "I guess you need a little time to tidy up here in the afternoon, and for lunch and dinner, I suggest you try the cafeteria in the college, I like the cheese pie there." ”

Then Assistant Coach Paplo stood at the door of the room, chatted casually with Surdak, and finally said, "I'll be waiting for you downstairs tomorrow morning." ”

Surdak looked over with some surprise.

Assistant Coach Paplo said, "Take you to Instructor Milono, he is the instructor of the knight training course......"

After saying this, Assistant Teacher Paplo left the dormitory with brisk steps, Surdak stood on the terrace, and saw Assistant Teacher Paplor hurriedly leaving the dormitory building, at this time it was close to noon, and the bell on the roof of the teaching building not far away rang, and after a while, the crowd rushing out of the teaching building spread out on the playground like a tide, and then diverted into several black lines, rushing to the school gate, dormitory, and cafeteria......

Looking at the young faces, Surdak's heart fluctuated, he didn't expect that he would be able to return to the academy one day.

He turned his head to look at the old parchment map on the wall, the center of which was the city of Highlandza, and Surdak easily found the barren land beyond the mountain pass and the corner of the Paglos Mountains in the upper left corner of the map, and the map was circled by a charcoal pen, which looked like some letterhead scribbles, many places blackened, and some symbols that could not be understood.
