The Primordial Wizard

Once again, Ace became a student in the teacher's mouth. Among them, several classmates looked at him with admiration, while others were a little unhappy.

Ace can understand it very well. What he admires is that he wants to work hard, and what he is unhappy is that he is forced to learn. If you divide them carefully, you will find that those who are upset are all children of noble families.

They are descendants of gods and spirits. Although they don't know how many generations and whether the blood of gods can be successfully stimulated, they are indeed descendants of gods and spirits, born nobles, without pressure, and naturally lack motivation.

If it is replaced by an exam that stimulates the blood, it is guaranteed that they will all admire and envy. The position of the butt often determines the view of things.

Although the few aristocratic children were a little upset, they still had basic tutoring, and there were no silly tricks like blocking doors and beatings after class.

Three days passed quickly, and Ace and his mother Marina went to the Municipal Square. The bulletin board has just posted a list of grades, with a 100-point system, with more than 90 points being excellent, and more than 75 being qualified.

Ace looked down from top to bottom, the first name was Dana, 100 points, and continued to look, and found that the second place was his name and receipt number, 98 points.

Ace took the receipt of the registration fee and received the badge from the cultural and educational officials. It has a white background, a relief of Medimus City, a red excellent word, and a line of small characters on it that says the level of writing is qualified.

Marina happily pinned the badge on Ace's clothes, and quickly ran home to announce the good news to Romon.

Ace walked quickly to the home of the polymath Peter. He finally passed the exam and was qualified to learn more profound knowledge, and was also eligible to borrow the polymath Peter's private library.

Ace arrived at the villa of the polymath Peter. Three of the other seven students had already started copying Mythology, and the others were still struggling to memorize the grammar and sentence structure.

Morton held a volume of books, leaned against the courtyard wall, read with relish, and glanced at the students from time to time.

When he looked up, he saw Ace coming in, and he was muttering in his heart, after all, the young people have accepted the education of the exam, and they have to enlighten Ace, after all, he is a studious seedling.

Just as he was thinking, Morton suddenly saw Ace's chest glowing with metal in the sun, it turned out to be a badge!

Morton rushed to Ace in three steps at a time, and carefully looked at the badge on his chest. The white background was embossed with the city of Medimus, and the word 优 was written in red. The level of writing is acceptable.

You passed it once and got an 'excellent'?

Morton asked incredulously.

Thanks to your teaching, sir, I passed the exam by luck.

Ace replied shyly, his eyes were a little sly.

You are indeed a material for studying. The teacher is going out to attend the citizens' meeting now, and he is expected to come back in the afternoon. I will take you to meet him then. You can directly call me Senior Morton in the future.

Morton's expression was a little joyful and a little bit disappointed. He looked back at the other students, especially those crooked ones who couldn't learn grammar, and felt that there was no comparison between people.

In the afternoon, Morton took Ace to the east-facing study on the third floor of the villa, and warned Ace, The teacher is a person who attaches great importance to politeness. You must be respectful and polite after entering. Then he knocked on the door lightly, and took Ace Si took two steps back together, waiting respectfully.

After a while, the door opened, and Peter was dressed in a white robe and red ribbon, with a solemn expression, as if he was thinking about something. He wore several different badges on his chest, one of which was the same as the military medal for the beheading of ten people in Romon's collection.

It seems that Peter is not only knowledgeable, but also very capable in actual combat, which is also in line with the overall atmosphere of the city-state, open, martial, and full of expansion.

Several people entered the study one by one. Morton took Ace and bowed slightly to Peter and said, Teacher, this is Ace who came to study last month. He is a hardworking and smart kid. He learned to pass the written proficiency test in just over a month. He hopes to follow the teacher and learn more advanced and professional knowledge.

Mr. Peter, I really want to follow you to learn more advanced and professional knowledge. Ace said immediately after Morton finished speaking.

Ace, the door of knowledge is open to everyone who desires it. You are welcome to become my disciple. Knowledge is valuable. After you become my disciple, you need to pay fifty silver thalers a month as a tuition fee to My servant Joan, if you don’t have any money for the time being, you can also write it down on credit, and then return to me after you work, without interest.”

Peter smiled, and continued, I have many different kinds of knowledge here. In the next year, you can borrow books from the library, attend my open classes every Friday in the front yard, and choose a subject you love. Xiu. Now you go to Joan first, and Morton stays.

Okay, Mr. Peter. Ace and Morton said in unison.

Ace then found Joan, who was the attendant at the door when he first came to the villa.

You have already paid 90 silver thalers, and you have been studying for almost a month and a half. Even if you have 40 silver thalers, the rest is just enough for one month's tuition. If you plan to write it on credit without interest, you can write it down in this book Go up and register. Joan said politely and methodically.

Thank you, Uncle Joan. I'll go home tonight and discuss with my parents before deciding how to pay the rest of the tuition. Ace also politely replied.

Okay, you take this little kraft paper card, sign your name on the back, and the rest can go to the library to borrow books. Joan said.

Ace took the card. On the front was Peter's letter of borrowing written in beautiful bird script. He signed his name on the back, and then went to the library.

The rotating administrator of the library today is a blond middle-aged man. He looked at Ace's card and said enthusiastically:

My junior is really young and promising. I was born in the northern city-state of Milne, and my name is Carter. I was attracted by the openness of Medimus and came here when I was 20 years old. In the north, it is impossible for free people to obtain citizenship, but here is not the case. Similarly, as long as you work hard, there is hope to become a citizen. I am now short of a year of low-level public office, and I can become a citizen. I love this city-state.

Congratulations, Senior Carter. We share a common goal, and we will ask you more in the future. Ace said politely, vaguely pointing out the identity of the same freedman, and drew closer.

No problem, just ask me if you have anything. I work as a clerk in the city-state jury court, and you can find me there every Monday to Thursday. Carter waved his hand readily.

Ace thanked Carter, walked into the library gently, and browsed the books in the library.

In the evening, return to the Eighth Street. Mother Marina has already prepared a sumptuous dinner for their family. Half a leg of lamb is roasted, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding a tempting aroma, a pot of lettuce soup, soft and delicious white bread and cheese.

I have to say that many foods in this world are similar to those in the previous life, but the dishes are too monotonous.

Romon took out some cloudy ale and was happily drinking it.

He already knew that his son had passed the literacy test, and it seemed to him that the path to citizenship was now open.

Ace, I see that you have passed the exam, why don't you start practicing fighting tomorrow, and when you become an adult, join the army, cut off the heads of ten barbarians, and then come back to pick up my class and work for three years, you can become a qualified citizen.

Father, I was just about to discuss with you. I hope to continue to learn from Teacher Peter. Knowledge is very important. Even if you become a citizen, if you want to make a big progress and hold a senior public office, you must have more professional and advanced knowledge. Don't worry about tuition fees , Mr. Peter, you can write it down on credit, and I will return it slowly after I take up public office.

Romon was a little silent. He knew what his son said was reasonable. He had no knowledge. Even if he became a citizen, he only had the right to vote. Many specific public positions were limited to passing professional level examinations. Higher-level public positions required two years of relevant lower-level public positions. .

Take Grand Inquisitor as an example, need nobility or citizenship, have served as a judge for two years, and judges need nobility or citizenship, have served as an assistant judge for two years, and assistant judges need noble or citizenship, have served as a clerk for two years , clerks need to pass the legal professional qualification examination.

Of course, a high-level public office like the grand judge still needs to be proposed by the meeting of five hundred people, and the king agrees and appoints it.

You have grown up and have your own opinions. I usually don't care about you, and I only support you in this matter. Don't worry about the money. I sold a full body armor. Now that our family has money, let your mother go Well, if you need to pay tuition, you can ask her directly.

Ace didn't expect Romon to be so responsible for the family. He said excitedly, When I win citizenship and earn money, I will definitely buy another set of full-body armor for our family and move back to the first block.

Come on, let's make a toast to a better tomorrow for our family!

Dry!

Dry!
