Lord Helanza

Papulo is an ordinary teaching assistant in the primary level Knight Academy. Although he has no rights, he is absolutely familiar with this Knight Academy.

Walking out of the teaching building and standing in front of the marble jogging platform, Assistant Pablo looked at Surdak, who was younger and older, and asked very enthusiastically: "Surdak Knight, you bring Are there any luggage and entourage?"

There are two rows of plane trees between the bishop building in the Academy and the playground. Now the leaves of the plane trees have turned yellow, and they are covered with grass and the playground. Several square teams practiced the square array in an orderly manner, without instructors chanting slogans.

Surdak set his eyes on the school gate in the distance, and said to Assistant Professor Papulo: "My horse stopped at the school gate."

Facing the campus life that is about to begin, Surdak was still faintly looking forward to it. He looked up at the Knight emblem with a sword and shield on the top of the teaching building. Looking at the magnificent baroque building, there were numbers on both sides of the Dali stone platform. The statues, these exquisite busts correspond to the black stone tablet, and each stone tablet is engraved with a line of text, which probably introduces the achievements of these statues in their lives.

Each statue is a hero who walked out of Helanza Knight Academy. Assistant Pablo took Surdak through the corridor full of statues. He didn’t want him to introduce the glorious deeds of these heroes. As he walked, he said, "There are special stables in the Academy. The horsemen are very professional. You can leave the horses to them to take care of."

Seeing Surdak listening carefully, he went on to say:" However, this cost is not included in the tuition fees. You need to pay a sum of miscellaneous fees, about 10 Silver Coins per month, and 45 Silver Coins for half a semester. Of course, you can also deposit horses outside the Academy! But that way. If it’s a little bit inconvenient, you must prepare your horses in advance for each equestrian lesson. If it is convenient, put the horses in the Academy, and the equestrian lessons will be much more convenient."

Horses and supporting equipment The saddle, Knight Light Armor, the three-piece suit, is one of the more expensive things in Knight Academy than other Academy.

Many trainee Knights will prepare horses, saddles and leather armor at the beginning of the school year. Of course, some trainee Knights do not have the financial conditions. They need to rent them out every time they take riding lessons. For the public horses in the Academy, the rental fee is not expensive, but this does not include exercises outside of the course. It is impossible to practice riding just during the time in class.

A most common horse on the market also sells for more than three Gold Coins, of course, this does not include the saddle. A leather saddle and supporting equipment such as pedals, leather whips, horse piercing needles, hangers, etc., if you want to buy all of them, you also need at least two Gold Coins, and if you want to ride a horse, you also need a set of light leather armor, plus For tuition, if these expenses are counted together, it would cost at least ten gold to support a trainee Knight.

For many ordinary families in Helanza City, this is a very expensive expense. Usually freshmen will not buy horses in advance at the beginning of school, and initially rent public horses from the Academy. After the second grade, when riding lessons are frequent, the students will consider buying a horse of their own.

However, Surdak belongs to Knight, which was trained by the Knight League Committee. Usually this kind of Knight has its own horse. Surdak is no exception. It is called Knight without riding a horse.

Surdak thought for a while. Apart from fostering in the Academy, he really has no other place to house this ancient boring horse, and since the Academy can arrange a full-time groom, Surdak decided without thinking about it. "Then I'll be fostered in the Academy."

As assistant Papulo saw Surdak without any hesitation, he knew that he was also the owner of good money, and the smile in his eyes became much more cordial. Said: "Then I will take you to the foster care of your horses, and then I will take you to the place where you live, and finally the classroom where you are in class. You need a curriculum schedule. Everyday all you need to prepare different courses, let me see The second-year major courses and elective courses..."

Along the way, Assistant Pablo told Surdak about the life in the Academy. The stables in the Academy are located next to the equestrian field at the end of the Academy. There are two rows of stables leaning on the last wall. Surdak led the horses and followed Assistant Paplow into the stables, and found that there were at least nearly a hundred healthy horses in the stables, most of which were the most common Gubo of the Grimm Empire. Coming to the horse, there are actually two green-scale horses in the innermost fence of the stable.

Seeing Surdak, looking at the two precious green-scaled horses, I was a little stunned. Assistant Professor Papulo showed a trace of pride. He raised his chest and said to Surdak proudly: "Surdak Knight, I heard that You just returned from the battlefield of the plane, haven’t you seen a green scale horse?"

Surdak withdrew his gaze from the scale pattern on the green scale horse’s legs. This kind of war horse with the bloodline of the alien beast can be regarded as The best horse in the Grimm Empire. Unfortunately, after killing Dark Knight, his black scaly horse didn't wait outside the sulfur mine. Surdak also looked around the mine casually, but he didn't find the scaly horse.

"The Knights of the Knight group in our Legion ride are all black. I have never seen this kind of azure." Surdak said to Assistant Paplow.

Paplow coughed twice, "cough cough, the green scale horse is also regarded as the second only to black scale horse warhorse, usually it is a Knight to be qualified to ride."

When the two met the steward responsible for managing the stables, he was taking two horsemen to give the horses grass next to the haystack, and another young horseman gave the horses grass and soaked beans. The materials are mixed together, which makes Surdak feel that the food for the horses here is really good, so that it is worth at least the miscellaneous expenses of ten Silver Coins paid every month.

After Papulo explained his intentions, the stable manager took a close look at the mark on the horse’s leg, and wrote a new number next to the mark, and asked the groom to take the Gubolai horse. Entering the stable, the Gubrian horse Surdak did not have any discomfort to the unfamiliar environment. It slowly walked into the stable, and the Gubrian horse that was grazing silently at the outermost side of the stable kicked uncomfortably. Kicked the hoof and hid involuntarily, leaving a place for Surdak's horse.

Seeing the arrogance of his horse, Surdak could only brace oneself and say: "...It seems to be very suitable for life here."

......

Passing through the Knight training ground next to the stables, I just saw dozens of trainee Knights on the training ground practising the use of large wooden guns.

This large wooden gun is a standard weapon for heavy cavalry on the battlefield. It is usually made of ironwood and indigo wood. The length is generally more than five meters. The tip of the wooden gun is usually covered with Ironhide, after the war on the planes, this big wooden gun has been gradually eliminated from the battlefield. The most important reason is that this big wooden gun covered with iron is against the Nakma, Nibulun, devil and faceless of Dark Legion. Neither can cause any damage, so this big wooden spear has become a Knight long spear made of black iron at the tip, but that kind of Knight long spear has more stringent requirements for the arm strength of heavy cavalry.

Ten trainee Knights riding Gubolai horses with large wooden guns painted with various patterns in their hands, galloping side by side on the training ground look very lively.

However, as a former member of the heavy armored infantry regiment, Surdak does not have any good impressions of heavy cavalry. Although on the main battlefield in front of Mo Yun Mountain Range, heavy cavalry was once the main force against devil Legion, but Mo The battle of Yun Mountain Range retreats like a sea tide, and finally reached the point where it was out of control. This has a lot to do with the collapse of the fighting will of the Mo Yun Mountain Range heavy cavalry regiment.

Compared with the heavy cavalry, Surdak feels that the light cavalry on the battlefield is more flexible. The combination of long sword and Knight light shield can at least cooperate with the heavy armored infantry.

The Knight training field in the Academy is very large, occupying at least half of the area in the Knight Academy.

As he was about to walk out of the training ground, Surdak saw the scarecrows of the future young heavy cavalry flying the big wooden guns to the end, and then collectively cheered, thinking of the original second squad. Augustus is a graduate of the warrior Academy, but the training in the Academy did not save the life of the hot-tempered man at the most critical moment. He died on the battlefield like other squad members.

The dormitory area of ​​the Academy is completely separated from the Knight Academy. Assistant Professor Papulo brought Surdak to the downstairs of the second building, where the main body of the building is entirely made of square stones. The wooden doors and windows are all designed with exquisite round arch patterns and painted with white paint, which makes the dormitory look very bright.

“There are a total of four buildings in the dormitory area, each of which is an independent grade. This building belongs to the second-year dormitory. The Academy provides these dormitories for free. Of course, the management of the dormitory is also extremely strict. If you do not comply with the dormitory management regulations, you will be warned by the dormitory the first time, and you will be evicted from the dormitory the second time. Of course, there are also many houses for rent around the Academy. It is a bit more comfortable to live in than the dormitory here, but there is one thing, here. Close to the wealthy area, the rent is not cheap."

"Surdak Knight, are you sure you plan to live on campus?" Assistant Professor Papulo stood at the door of the dormitory and asked Surdak again.

"Of course, living here is closer to the Academy, so it is much more convenient to attend classes." Surdak replied without thinking.

"It is true. I still miss the student dormitories in the Academy very much. Although the management system is a bit harsh, it is better than renting out the house." With that, Assistant Professor Papulo pushed aside. At the door of the dormitory, show your identity badge to the dormitory administrator at the door.

The registration procedure is not complicated. Soon Surdak received a nameplate for the accommodation, and then the dormitory manager took Surdak to the corner room on the top floor.

The dormitory administrator stood at the door and opened the door. There is a bed on the left and right against the wall. The floor is covered with a thick layer of dust and messy footprints. The door of the south terrace is open and the clothesline is on. There are two dirty linen shirts hanging. It seems that no one has lived here for a long time. The dormitory administrator drooped his eyes and said quickly: "Each room has two beds. At present, there is only you in this dormitory. Alone, but this does not mean that you will always live alone. Once you are born as a student, I will arrange him and you together..."

The room is not too big , The most basic bedding is available, but it is not dirty. The stone walls are painted with a layer of ash-gray paint. There is also a very old parchment map. There are some messy graffiti on the map. Every single bed has a head. There is a wooden table and wooden chairs, and there is a small cabinet near the wall. Next to the cabinet is a human-shaped wooden frame. Obviously this wooden frame is used to hang armor, and there is also a place for hanging weapons and shields.

Surdak walked into the dusty room and saw a few flower pots on the balcony stone railing. The flowers and plants inside were not watered for a long time. Several unknown plants had already dried up and all the leaves were All disappeared, looked bald and extremely depressed.

The dormitory rolled his eyes and stared at Surdak indifferently and said: "During your stay, you must strictly abide by the dormitory management regulations, otherwise I have the right to expel you. If you agree, sign here. Your name..."

'Surdak'

Surdak wrote down his name, and the middle-aged dormitory administrator turned around and left like this.

Assistant Pablo stood at the door of the dormitory, looked up at the spider web on the lintel, and laughed, probably because he was a little embarrassed to brag about how good the dormitory was. He stood at the door. After looking at the sheepskin boots he wiped brightly, he was not willing to walk into the dusty dormitory. He said to Surdak, "I guess you need some time in the afternoon to tidy up here. I suggest you try them for lunch and dinner. Try the cafeteria in the Academy. I like the cheese pies there."

Then Assistant Professor Papulo stood at the door of the room, chatted with Surdak casually, and finally said: "I will be there tomorrow morning. Waiting for you downstairs."

Seeing Surdak looking over in surprise.

Assistant Papulo said: "Take you to see Instructor Milono, he is the instructor of the Knight training class..."

After that, Assistant Papulo stepped on Leaving the dormitory with a brisk pace, Surdak stood on the terrace and saw Assistant Pablo leaving the dormitory building. It was approaching noon. The bell on the top of the teaching building not far away rang, and after a while, the teaching building rushed out. The crowd of people spread out on the playground like a tide, and then diverted into several black lines, rushing to the school gate, dormitory, and cafeteria respectively...

Looking at the young faces, Surdak was excited. Ups and downs, he didn't expect that he could return to the Academy for such a day.

He turned his head and looked towards the shabby parchment map on the wall. The center of this map is Helanza city. Surdak easily found Desolate Land and Paglos mountain outside the mountain pass in the upper left corner of the map. In the corner of the range, a charcoal pencil draws circles on the map, which looks like some letter pen graffiti, many places are painted black, and there are some symbols that are not easy to understand.
