This group of children was about half male and half male, the youngest was only five or six years old, and the oldest was fourteen or fifteen years old. They wore simple clothes and looked thin.In the last row of the classroom there was a person who was beyond the standard, and she couldn't hide her surprise when she saw the person coming.

"Roy, why are you here at school?" Vivien beckoned to him. In class, her dress was obviously not as gorgeous and unrestrained as last time. She was just wearing a clean and simple gray dress, and her long wine red hair was tied into a knot. A ponytail looks a lot younger.

Roy hesitated for a moment, and sat on the empty seat next to her,

"Uncle Tross said that you are the teacher of Cadel House. I just wanted to learn something, so I came here."

Vivien tapped her head, her beautiful eyes were full of approval, "You have made a wise decision. Only knowledge can change your destiny. You are welcome to study at Kadel House."

"My name is Tom, hello, Roy!" The boy who raised his hand and yelled warmly extended his hand to him, his facial features were wrinkled, his front teeth were exposed, and he smiled sincerely and a little funny.

Roy shook his hand.

"Kids keep quiet, now go over what you learned in history class. The teacher is out to talk about something."

The middle-aged woman led Roy up to the office room on the second floor.

"Son, you can call me Mr. Kadel. How about you? What's your name? Let me guess, you came to Kadel House to learn common characters?"

"My name is Roy. I'm not a local. Can I enter the school?" Roy nodded and asked nervously. He didn't want to make a trip in vain.

"Any student under the age of 16 is welcome here. You seem to meet the requirements. You need to pay a tuition fee of 20 kronor a month, and then cooperate with me to register with detailed identity information. Can you understand? Most of the school is children." Kadel Her eyes are gentle, but with a huge hooked nose, deep nasolabial folds, and mean lips, she still looks stern and frightening.

"I have another question, do you have enough money?" Kadel looked a little suspicious. Few students came to the school alone, and they were usually accompanied by elders.

"I have a job at the market... It's enough to pay for the tuition. By the way, Teacher Kadel. It's also because of my work, so I only come to school every afternoon." 20 kroner is indeed unexpectedly low for Roy, and he doesn't need to work part-time The original money is enough to pay.

"Morning or afternoon, whatever you like, as long as you can keep up with the schedule."

Cadell's assistant, Roy, finished the registration and stuffed the form into the cabinet under the table.

Roy glanced at it, and could see several thick stacks of forms neatly arranged in the cabinet.After paying the tuition again, he followed Kadel back to the simple classroom, and was arranged between Vivien and Tom.

As soon as Roy took his seat, he felt a few unfriendly looks from the side.

"It seems that not everyone welcomes my arrival!"

At the position above him to the right, several strong boys saw him join the classroom, and their eyes suddenly became aggressive like a wolf calf, especially the oldest one who was fourteen or five years old, with a vague look in his eyes. Jealousy and warnings are like being robbed of a beloved toy.

Roy didn't take this matter seriously, and there was no need to be jealous with some brats.

"20 crowns per month, less local children. Is the Cadell House a charity hall? This amount of money is in the middle city, and it is barely enough for the children to eat." He roughly counted... except for him in the classroom In addition, there are a total of 65 students and 2 teachers, Vivien and Cadel.

It costs a lot of money to eat every moonlight, and reading and literacy are almost free, and there are accommodations for special children.

"What are you thinking, Roy?" Vivien glanced over with concern, "Not used to the environment here?"

"I think it's pretty good..." Roy lowered his voice, "Are you all children from the lower city?"

"Well, they are all children from ordinary families," the woman joked, "Get along well with everyone in the future, and don't bully them because of their age. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

Roy nodded and devoted himself to studying.

The so-called "school" has very simple teaching conditions. There are no desks and chairs, and students sit side by side on a shallow carpet in rows; there are no quills and ink, and they all write with black charcoal left over from the fire; They also used crumpled and inferior papyrus, or wrote and wiped directly on the ground, wiped and wrote again.

The conditions are tough, but hard-won. Most of the students listened carefully.

After slightly accommodating the new students, Cadell began to teach the basis of the common language popular in the north, that is, a "new language" produced after the convergence of the celestial spheres. The alphabet and grammar are similar to the Slavic language family.

Roy felt weird, and suddenly returned to the previous world. He was still the ignorant and young high school student sitting in the classroom.

The original Roy has lived in this world for more than ten years, and has a certain understanding of the local language, which has improved his learning efficiency to some extent.

His mature thinking and brain power, as well as his forward vision are all great help. The 6-point spirit beyond ordinary people allows him to stay focused for a longer time. The most important point is that he was a high school student who experienced the baptism of cruel compulsory education. .In terms of memory of knowledge points, it is not inferior to anyone in this world.

The overlapping of several factors produced an astonishing chain reaction, and Roy became more and more comfortable learning this new language.

……

When it was almost noon, under the huge branches of the hornbeam tree in the yard, several rectangular tables were surrounded by people.

The cold wind blew the steaming hot food on the table, and amidst the aroma, a group of children sitting quietly swallowed at the same time.

But no one did anything, and their longing eyes were focused on the middle-aged woman in the center who gave orders.

Kadel stood up straight, like a commander before a battle, looked around at the students who were about to move around, nodded with satisfaction, and began to lecture,

"The Prophet Lebioda lit three fires for the general public, one called justice, one called equality, and the last one is the fire of ideals... All the children here have ideals... Our parents are farmers, cherish Every grain of food that they worked hard and watered with blood and sweat..."

Cadel waved his hand violently, and the table boiled like boiling water instantly.

The food on the table is nothing more than a portion of coarse bread made of barley and other grains, vegetable soup, pickles, and dried salted fish.

But the hungry students never refused to come, and stuffed food into their mouths desperately, as if there would be nothing left if they moved slower.

Roy, who was eating bread slowly, was taken aback by the students' scrambling posture, and was assimilated by them, so he inexplicably accelerated his eating speed.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire table was swept away, even the vegetable soup was licked up to the last drop, and the leaves that fell from the hornbeam tree onto the dinner plate were all swallowed up by some naughty little ghost.

But Roy was only six percent full, and he could feel that most of the students were about the same.The blond-haired Tom not far away pouted, and with his small arms and legs, he really couldn't compete with others, even if he sat in the most central position.

But I have to say that this meal is the most delicious meal Roy has eaten since traveling, even surpassing the delicacies of mountains and seas that Sewell Hogg entertained him.

"Sure enough, the food you grab is the tastiest."

Roy suddenly felt that what Cadel said before the meal had no deep meaning, flaunting fairness and justice, but at the table, a group of children were fighting for food according to their own abilities.

Are they educating them about the cruelty of reality?

……

After lunch, the students had a short break, divided into a dozen small groups, chasing and fighting in the yard, or chatting in twitter, with smiles on their youthful and childish faces, and Roy had that illusion again, as if Back to the physical education class in the old school.

He couldn't imagine that in the turbulent magical world, where the revolutionary army was in full swing, there was such a paradise as Kadel House.This school did have something that he admired.

But there are also discordant elements in "Promised Land", and there must be popular people and neglected people in every group.

The kid named Tom who greeted him warmly at the beginning was one of the unlucky ones.Standing alone in the corner of the yard, playing with his fingers with a lonely face, and cast envious eyes at the lively scenes around him from time to time.

"Roy, why don't you go and join them?" A gust of fragrant wind came, and Vivien quietly came to him, her beautiful eyes filled with encouragement.

Roy felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help shaking his head, "I don't have a common language with them... What's the matter with that kid named Tom, isn't it so pitiful?"

"Tom...is an orphan. Unlike other children, he has the love and protection of his parents. The school is his home." The woman sighed, her tone lowered, "He is too thin, so he is often seen by several The tall kids were bullied and led to isolation. Principal Cadell and I tried to dissuade him many times, but it didn’t work. We had too many things to manage, and we couldn’t pay attention to him all the time, and we didn’t care enough about him.”

"This is a neglected child."

Roy nodded. Bullying is a difficult problem even in modern society, not to mention this backward and dilapidated school.

"Let's go, Roy, let's accompany him..." Vivien grabbed Roy's hand suddenly, and walked towards Tom without allowing him to resist.

After playtime, there is a half-hour nap.In the afternoon, it was Vivien's turn to give lectures: simple arithmetic, basic common sense of life, mixed with some definitions of common language vocabulary.A beautiful woman with outstanding figure and appearance, with a sweet smile, spoke in a gentle tone, making boring knowledge interesting.

At least Roy and the boys didn't even bat an eyelid.

……

When the dilapidated wall clock in the classroom passed five o'clock, one after another, people came to the Cadell House to pick up the children and returned to their home in the lower city.

"Is it safe, the sparrow gang's human traffickers won't take action against these children?" Roy looked at the direction the students were leaving, walked to Vivien and asked curiously.

"Five years ago, the sparrow gang kidnapped a girl from the school. The next day someone found her body in a stinky ditch. The desperate parents spent all their savings on kerosene and ignited it in the dark A stronghold of the gang. The two also rushed into the fire and died together with the sleeping gangster. I still remember very clearly the scene of more than 20 charred corpses being lifted out of the black ruins." After a few days When Vivien talked about this incident in [-], there was still a hint of shock in her beautiful eyes, "Later the school and all the residents of the lower city put pressure on the Sparrow Gang. Even Baron Tavik was alarmed, and the Sparrow Gang made a compromise. Dare to touch the bottom line again."

After listening to Roy, he couldn't help but think of a sentence from Sewell Hogg, "An honest man's anger can burn the whole Mahakam." When he went back at night, he had another story that he could tell Toya.

"Come on, Roy." Vivien suddenly grabbed his arm and dragged him to the classroom involuntarily. "It's the first day, there must be a lot you didn't understand? I'll review it for you again."

Roy was really flattered. From the first time we met, he had the feeling that this woman treated him surprisingly well, but there was nothing wrong with it right now. If he could learn common characters as soon as possible, he would also be willing.

"Hey, Roy, why are you back?" Tom, who was leaning on the door and staring enviously at the people coming and going, rushed over and grabbed his other hand. His hair fluttered, and he grinned and showed his two front teeth, like a puppy pleasing his master, "Are you homeless too? Do you want me to play with you?"

Vivien grabbed his ear, and the skinny boy wailed and bent down, "Little Tom, Roy is going to review today's knowledge. Since you took the initiative to deliver it to your door, let's come together!"

The boy's face froze when he heard it, and he struggled desperately like a lively little squirrel, but was dragged into the classroom by Vivien's ears.

"Don't you usually dislike no one playing with you? After school, you will accompany Roy to learn more."

The bleak autumn wind sent the boy's wailing far away, and the hornbeam trees that covered the sky in the courtyard were also blown to shake their branches, and the withered yellow leaves rustled down, and the whole school seemed to wither along with it.

Chapter 20 pattern

Cloudy market.

Roy's veiny left hand tightly held the white goose's slender neck, and the other hand held a sharp and thin knife at the top, aiming at the arteries on the white goose's neck, and slashed across it like lightning.

Blood gushed into the ground like a spring, and the wooden barrel was half filled with sticky blood clots.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the information in the template:

……

Roy has been working in the market for half a month, because he only works there in the morning. On average, he has to kill 20 poultry every day, and the cumulative quantity has undergone a qualitative change. His slaughtering skills have finally been upgraded from Lv2 to Lv3, which is not in vain for him. The smell of poultry excrement and urine after smoking for half a month.

In the past half a month, I have earned 20 crowns and 300 points of experience.

The cypress fruit and dandelion he had been swallowing had completely lost their effect, and the strength and constitution of the two weakest attributes had been strengthened to the level of a normal person's 5, which was manifested in the body, compared to leaving Kaye Village. At that time, he grew 2 inches (5cm) taller, reaching a height of 5-6 inches (1.68 meters), with a faint outline of muscles under the clothes, and his body shape changed from emaciated to well-proportioned.

He already has the strength and physique not inferior to an adult.The edges and corners of the facial features have become a little more distinct, and there is a bit of a young man's heroic spirit.

After bleeding, soak the goose in boiling hot water, pluck the hair, take out the internal organs, and the treatment is complete.When it was noon, Roy put down the knife, untied his apron, cleaned up the dirt on his body, said hello to the sleepy old Ruhr on the chair next to him, and left the market to go to Cadelle's House.

……

Roy found Vivien, who was pretty and sweaty, in the yard, and handed over a bag of herbs that he had prepared.

"Roy, what is this?" Vivien caught the bag with doubts on her pretty face.

"Honeysuckle, a kind of herb, soaking it in water and drinking it every day is very good for a lady's body. You know that I work in the herbal shop in Tross, so it is very convenient to get this thing."

"Why did you suddenly give me a gift?"

"This is a thank you gift. Thank you for your care during this time. It has really solved a lot of my troubles. If you don't accept it, I will feel very sorry." Roy said seriously.

After hearing this, Vivien fell silent, "Roy, listen, I'm not helping you with gifts."

"I can feel it. But what's the reason?" Roy asked, "Sister Vivien, I've always been curious why you take special care of me and help me revise, just like...a real sister."

Vivien suddenly took a deep breath, and couldn't help pinching her wine-red hair with her fingers. A trace of sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and said quietly, "You are right. I... have a younger brother, and the one you gave me It feels very cordial and very similar to him. So, I occasionally have the illusion that you are him."

Roy was surprised when he heard this. He had never seen Vivien's younger brother at school, and he had never heard of it.

Could it be that he is no longer there?

And the tone of the other party is weird, a little uncertain?

"How old is your brother, did he go to school at Cadell House?" Roy asked again,
