Among the students, there are nobles from the republic, and they naturally know the Albert family, which has the most wealth in the country.

The aristocracy had a communicative language, and although the Chaman family was on the verge of extinction, no one dared to despise Bran from their conversations, their extremely handsome faces, and the Vivino expression of Albert, a wealthy local family.

After a verbal exchange and a handshake, the two officially integrated into the aristocratic faction.

The three factions entered the cafeteria in batches, but the one who came ahead was always one of the students of the aristocratic or clerical faction.

The canteen was not small, with a capacity of at least 80 people at the same time, and was expanded to accommodate distinguished guests, such as the high-ranking people from Rome or the nobles who passed through the area.

Excluding the clergy who went out on duty, as well as the ascetics, a total of thirty-five clergy were present.

Eating before the sun goes down and saving candles is a common practice in all monasteries and even in contemporary society.

There were rows of long tables close together, and Bran and Albert sat staring at each other.

The prayer before the meal could not be more familiar with Bran, but the priest's prayer was very cumbersome, and there were so many people to thank him that more than 300 verses of scripture were recited at one meal, and his mouth was dry.

"Hallelujah ......"

"Praise the Lord."

After the salute, the food began to be shared.

Pots and pans began to be handed down, dry bread, sprinkled with wild herbs, and a small bowl of thick soup, and it was dinner.

Recently, I was in the fasting period, so cow and goat milk, fruits and vegetables are the mainstay, and I don't eat oily meat.

The high-ranking monks present set an example, but when the next day is over, another set of delicious delicacies will be served in the kitchen in some of the private rooms.

After the meal, the aristocratic teenagers who paid the high tuition fees did not have to clean up, and Christian took Bran and the two of them around the monastery to explain the location of each courtyard.

When the sun was about to set, the clouds were dyed red, and Bran made another prenight prayer and went to sleep.

At night, the monastery is quiet as if it were an uninhabited island, and the priests walk lightly, holding candles, and communicating with each other in "sign language" if there is nothing important.

Some of them are long and vicious, and they are encountered far away in the dark night, and they are as scary as meeting demons!

……

Lying on the bed, Albert wanted to talk to Bran.

"Bran, did you sleep?"

"Today's vice president looks so scary, like ......"

"Bran?"

"Shut up, I'm communicating with an angel."

Bran ignored it, yawned, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Two hours later, Albert also let out a faint cry and fell asleep.

Before four o'clock in the morning, footsteps began to move, and Bran, who was sleeping lightly, opened his eyes.

The priests prepare for the morning prayers, and the incoming students must also get up, and the supervising priests knock on each door from the first floor, knocking only once, and then leaving.

Within an hour at the latest, they must stand outside the monastery and join them in the morning chant.

Yesterday afternoon, Christian had already said that if he was late, he would be waiting for an annoying scripture copy.

After being in a daze for more than ten seconds, Bran slowly got up and tidied up, and after a while, he found that Albert was still not awake, and pinched Albert's round face fiercely, causing him to wake up in pain.

"It hurts!"

"You can't afford it, I'll go first."

Albert, who was afraid of the unfamiliar environment, immediately beat his spirit and quickly sorted it out.

Participating in the first morning carol, Bran just moved his mouth and didn't have any feelings.

After the ritual was completed, a simple cleaning was assigned, and several secular servants hired by the monastery were hired to help clean the surroundings of the monastery and wipe down the icons.

It is an indispensable duty for every student, noble or not.

Bran was assigned the easiest way to sweep the leaves, but it wasn't easy, filling a full six bags with the others.

The senior who took him was Christian.

After that, it was breakfast time, a bowl of water, two biscuits, and a plate of bitter mixed vegetables without any oil, so that the students were between being hungry - they were drowsy and prone to depravity after eating too much.

After eating, the class begins.

The school is a two-story stone temple where priests come to teach the arts. Occasionally, people from other monasteries or churches would come to visit and invite them to their lessons.

Theology, literature, law, and medicine are the main "four arts", and they can be divided into a variety of subcategories.

Philosophy and sign language, logic and theology.

Latin, Frankish, sign language, etc., are classified as literature

Finances are included in law.

Medicine and surgery, knowledge of herbs, food science, etc. are classified as medicine.

Priests who are good at various fields will be present to teach, explain one unit at a time, let students memorize and familiarize, the next on-site test, and divided into small groups to compete, teach, recite, debate, basically according to this process.

And "martial arts" belong to the sub-department, and this thing has to be handed over to the "gold and silver coins".

For example, if you want to learn to ride a horse, you can enter the horse farm owned by the monastery, where you will be taught by someone who is proficient in equestrianism.

If you want to learn how to wield a sword or a spear, every once in a while, a member of the Order of Knights from the Holy See will pass by, and you can make a request.

During the period of the Crusaders, it was not uncommon for priests to be proficient in martial arts.

Many of the Praisers' paintings also depict them with swords and crosses in their hands.

On the first day of class, Bran was introduced to teaching Latin.

A middle-aged priest with an unshaven beard, to test the level of a newcomer, pointed to Bran, slowed down his voice and said in Latin, "React as I say, count the number of people present, and recite a hymn at random." ”

"Of the twenty-eight students, two of them went to the other monasteries to help, and you are twenty-nine, plus the teacher."

Bran responded without thinking, and the hymn he read also had "tongue curling" and "tongue flicking", which is the most standard, orthodox way of reading.

Albert also understood, but was screamed, his tongue knotted in fright, and finally he was ordered to sit down.

Bran spent the whole morning in the process of "Latin Crazy Talking".

Under normal circumstances, Italian and Latin are about three or four points similar to the language of the peninsula, and many grammars are very similar to the way words are written, and it takes about three to four years for people on the peninsula to become fluent in Latin.

But if you are not from the peninsula, you will be in trouble.

For example, Christian, although he learned Italian well, but the use of Latin is not good, singular and plural, yin and yang case conversion, always can't be transferred, fortunately his other subjects are not bad, learn from each other's strengths, it is not difficult to successfully graduate.

In the afternoon, there is a debate class.

A white-robed priest arrived.

The education of the monastery has never been such a high-level operation as "teaching according to the person".

The priest took the book of Exodus to himself.

This is the legend of Moses, an ancient Christian, who stopped when the Red Sea diverted.

glanced at the listless students on the field, and directly came to a Q&A.

They were divided into groups of two or three, and the one with the lowest score copied the book of Egypt.

First question.

"If someone slaps you in the face, what should you do?"

This question is like thunder, and it can't be more familiar.

There were many responses, but the clergy sent their children to answer first.
