CHAPTER XXXV
"Integrity, bravery, loyalty, all virtues, like evil, are excuses for fighting, so that there is no way to disappear, only to avoid. —Reed Y
The status of the Rhine Academy in the Rhine Empire is indescribable, and even in the entire continent it is a very special place, he attracts the young people of the whole Naranst like a magical leader, but every year, he only picks out three hundred from the tens of thousands of letters of study.
Of course, all crown princes have privileges, but with the emergence of assimilation, this conspiracy theory that came out of nowhere, the Rhine Empire aims to assimilate the cultures of all countries through this method, and finally achieve the goal of unifying the continent. Although this argument is useless for the young men and women who yearn for the Rhine Academy, the crown princes of other countries except the Rhine Empire have never visited the Rhine Academy.
No matter how much money and money the palace spent to bring water to the garden and fill the beautiful artificial lake, it still had to drain a river and spend a considerable amount of work to transport the water to the Rhine Academy, which is said to have a more ornate fountain than the royal family.
There is probably no more recognizable building in the whole city than the Rhine Academy, and the unrivalled tall complex in the southeast of the city, full of David XII architectural foundations and renovated in the style of the towers that rose from David XVII, makes this mysterious place surrounded by towering red bricks and blue tiles seem wise and serene.
"Are you sure these are our classmates?" Justin gnawed his fingers and frowned as he looked at a large, stupid-looking boy.
Not long after the two of them walked into the gate of the academy, Carson and Teggs were stopped at the door, and along the way, there were many freshmen who had just entered the school like themselves, because they were just dressed very well, so they did not stand out in the crowd, but they were still a little out of place compared to some of the ragged students.
"What else? The academy pays attention to teaching and class, and the guards at the gate just now are all graduates of the academy. Jack spread his hands and said to Justin.
Justin glanced at a boy beside him, the boy's gray ragged clothes and pants were covered with a waistcoat woven with thick wool threads, to be honest, Justin knew that it was white, but he really couldn't see it, Justin just glanced at it, and the boy shrank into the corner in fright.
"Can't these people buy a decent dress?" Justin said even more depressed when he saw the boy's reaction, "The college will have a scholarship or something from time to time, can you apply for it after admission?" ”
"Uh, Justin. Jack raised an eyebrow and explained to Justin: "Scholarships are usually taken away by the lords, and we were lucky to have two people in a row in the first two years, four thousand silver coins, all of which are mine." But my father gave me all of my this year, and of course maybe those two people also gave me me. ”
"Blah blah. Justin hurriedly stopped Jack, looked at Jack in surprise and asked, "You're not kidding?
"What?" it was Jack's turn to be stunned, looked at Justin and asked, "Didn't you get it? That's money, it's free!"
Indeed, in almost all regions of Naranst, the great lords will write letters of application for all the children in the territory, once the child is chosen, then the scholarship will naturally go to the lord, as for the children stuffed twenty silver coins to the caravan, they will send the children to the place, some discerning merchants will definitely take the initiative to befriend these children, because everyone knows that the people who come out of the Rhine Academy are not simple characters even if they stay in the school to teach.
These may be the children of farmers, sailors, or even children who ask for food, and it is impossible to read and write. The High Lord wrote letters for them, and they were given the opportunity to come to the Rhine to study, so the High Lord had the right to take the scholarship of two thousand silver coins. Of course, those who know how to read and write their own letters may give them the money if they meet a better lord.
After communicating for a long time, Jack explained this process and reason to Justin, there is no way, after all, Justin, who used to live in the palace, does not understand the suffering of the world, and this kind of thing is actually not much in the Silver Moon Country, and the rich country and the noble character of the Tylan people make it impossible for them to do this kind of thing.
Justin couldn't understand how to deprive someone of the 2,000 silver coin scholarship for writing a few words, even though he hadn't seen it yet. Jack went out of his way to tell him that it wasn't just a few words, that the age, family situation, hair color, eye color, characteristics, etc. of each young man should be described in great detail, and that the description would not be accepted if he did not qualify, in order to prevent someone from impostoring.
You must know that these materials are the imprint on your body in the future, so even if you impersonate you, you can only live as another person, otherwise you will be prepared to bear the wrath of the Academy.
As the two of them continued to walk into the academy, this tight and mysterious place wrapped in red brick baskets and towers was actually nothing special, it looked very casual at first glance, and there were all kinds of buildings and gardens, whether it was a businessman or a gardener. It is worth mentioning that even if you are a gardener, you must be a graduate of Rheinland College itself.
The Rheinland Institute has a wide range of disciplines and a rule of no class, where you can choose to study history, geography, or iron or horticulture. In short, as long as you can learn well, you can learn as much as you want.
At the end of the four-year semester, students who have obtained excellent results in six courses can go on to further their studies in the Rheinland for four years. Eight years later, almost all of these eight-year talents are well-known. Everyone called these people Mr. Rhine, and no matter where they went, the title of Mr. Rhine in his youth was extremely honorable.
After following the reported flow of people to gather money for a small auditorium that could accommodate four or five hundred people, Jack and Justin saw some children who should be about the same status as the two of them. Most of these children came early, but Justin got up early, but sat in the living room of Jack's house and waited for Jack for a long time.
According to the time he waited, Justin also accurately guessed that Jack was playing sports with the red carp, and when Jack went downstairs, Justin almost laughed at Jack all the way.
But now, Jack felt that the time had come for him to laugh at Justin, and the handsome third prince of the Silver Moon Kingdom with two swords on his waist was trying to hide behind Jack despite his height of half a head taller than Jack.
Looking in the direction Justin was dodging, Jack saw a Tyran girl standing in the crowd, her hair turning a striking red, but it was not difficult to tell from the slender figure and well-proportioned bump that this was a standard Tyran girl.
