Albert watched as the scissors flashed overhead.

His blonde hair was reduced, and his tears were full of spikes, one by one.

Bran was much calmer.

As the scalp became more relaxed, the hair cut was completed, and then the white robe was changed and the small cross was put on, and Bran and Albert officially became students of the monastery.

The newly enrolled schoolchildren were led by young priests, who were only five or six years older than them, to two four-storey gray-and-yellow stone buildings, facing each other to the left and right.

As the first to third floors were already occupied, the young priest led Bran and Albert to the top of the fourth floor, a small freshly cleaned room, with two wooden beds, a set of wooden tables and chairs, a small bookcase, a hanger, and a basin and kettle.

If you want to wash, you have to go out of the house, and the monastery at 300 meters away has a water intake facility built with donations from the merchant aristocracy, so the monks and students here do not have to go out to fetch water like other monasteries, saving a lot of effort.

"Remember these vows, and next time you will take them back and ask questions,"

The young priest handed over the yellowed old book, which contained hundreds of rules, only Bran nodded in response, Albert made such a small space dizzy, it was too shabby, especially on the mottled walls, those cracks from time to time there were ants burrowing in and out, and he felt sick to see it.

After the young priest left, Bran put down the package in his hand and asked Albert to take out the daily necessities inside, and most importantly, a bag of coins with the heads of the nobles, which was prepared by grandfather and Mrs. Meghan, so that the two of them could live here more abundantly.

As a student, he was also a noble student who donated to the hospital, not only was he exempt from labor, but he also enjoyed the right to go out once every seven days, leaving in the morning and returning late.

Since it's here, get used to it.

When the hourglass in the room reaches a certain tick (about four o'clock in the afternoon), the city bell rings first, followed by the monastery bell, which strikes nine times in succession.

The monastery enters the afternoon prayer period, and the chapel begins to sing hymns, and the monastery prays five times a day, and now it is the fourth.

Shortly after the poetry stopped, there was a knock on the door between the two.

Not knowing what kind of face it would be coming in, Albert tugged at the hem of Bran's coat, afraid to let him open it, Bran put down the book, straightened his appearance in the bronze mirror for a few seconds, and then approached the wooden door and turned the handlebar.

In front of him was a slender boy, about the same height as Bran, with the same kappa priest's head, but judging from the somewhat creased and outdated form of the white robe, he had been admitted to the hospital for a while, with an ordinary appearance and a fairly ruddy complexion, and Bran guessed that it should not be a civilian.

"I'm Christian."

The upward curvature of the corners of his mouth indicates his friendliness.

The black-haired boy, who had just turned twelve, was the second son of a knightly aristocratic family in a principality in present-day Eastern Europe.

His full name is Christian Day Gary.

Most of the students admitted to the hospital are called "by name".

The boy also had the monastery "Christian name" on his chest, which was the proper name used by the priest to address his students.

"I'm the only knight in Eastern Europe in the monastery, so it's okay to call me 'Dai'.

Dai is a special surname common in Eastern Europe, not a "title".

"Dai" is taken from the first word of the Roman virtuous emperor "Diocletian", as the initiator of the co-rule of the four emperors, he was in charge of Eastern Europe during his reign, and many places in Eastern Europe are still governed by his legal codes and quotations.

Since the Christian names of Bran and Albert have not yet been issued, they simply declare their family names.

"I'm Bran, and he's my friend Albert."

After a few pleasantries.

"Welcome, I have been chosen as your "Mentor" until you are familiar with this place. ”

Christian went inside and looked around, and pointed out that the two of them did not place their things correctly, for example, Albert moved the hanger to the window, because the daily prayers and poems, the sound came from the direction of the window, so it was forbidden to block it with external objects, and at this time, it was necessary to open the doors and windows and listen to more gospels.

After finishing the trivialities, Christian led the two into the cafeteria.

Walking out of the house, more than twenty peers had already gathered, divided into three factions.

They looked at the newcomer, and most of their eyes fell on Bran.

The elegant aristocratic demeanor that Bran walked with could not be concealed at all.

But this is pride that is not allowed, because all are servants of the Lord, and then Bran will be reprimanded and hide this pride as he was at the beginning.

With so many raw eyes, Bran didn't retreat, swept over at a glance, and carefully noted down the facial features of everyone,

On the one hand, there were eleven people of commoner (mostly merchant families), who were not of noble blood and were admitted mainly by donations or other means.

After graduating, they learned the art of copying words, and they could find good jobs, and the good ones would go on to serve in the church, and a few years later as secular officials.

One faction is the children of the clergy, whether the clergy can have a secular family controversy for hundreds of years, although it has evolved into a no, but it can never be banned, illegitimate children or high-ranking clergy relatives in the secular family, often enter the monastery or church, inherit the father's generation, and now there are dozens of people.

After the first faction is the aristocracy, most of the children of the nobility who have no inheritance rights come here to learn a skill, plus Bran and Albert, there are just nine people.

Although the aristocracy and the clergy should be on the same side, but last month, the two factions had a quarrel, and Christian, as the leader of the aristocracy, had a broken tooth, so that the two factions had not reconciled.

Christian led Bran and Albert and introduced them to each other.
