Chapter 511 Enrollment Work

Twain is very cunning.

If he distributed the enrollment notice alone, few people would pay attention to it, so he placed the distribution point of the enrollment notice at the place where he received grain seeds. When every farmer came here to receive grain seeds, he was forced to distribute an enrollment notice. notify.

So in just a day or two, the news of Ellington College's enrollment spread throughout Ellington.

but……

"What? Going to school?"

The staff member with a gentle smile came to the home and suddenly informed him of such a thing. Ross was immediately at a loss. His son, Ross, was just six years old this year and was already able to help with some work. His pressure was finally relieved. Some, but at this time, the lord sent someone to ask his son to report to class two of the first grade at Ellington College on the 15th of the month of resurrection...

Ross was confused: "What does going to school mean? Can I eat it?"

Jim didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he knew that there must be many people who encountered the same problem as him at this moment, so he patiently explained: "You can't eat when you go to school. You go to school to learn knowledge. You can learn to read, and you will be able to read newspapers in the future. , learn arithmetic, and you will be able to keep accounts in the future.”

"If you don't go, don't go. Now there are literacy tutorials in newspapers. I have collected a whole set of literacy tutorials."

Ross shook his head and said, "Besides, spring planting has just started, and my family is busy. What kind of school should I go to? He still has to help me farm."

Jim sighed. It was just as the lord said, so he had to say: "Do you want your son to farm a lifetime like you?"

"What can I do if I don't want to?"

Ross smiled and said: "We are the lord's tenant farmers. Farming for the lord is a matter of course. Moreover, the lord is much better than the previous lord. It is my honor to farm for him."

"But are you willing for your son to live like you all his life? Don't you want him to become the director of a factory? A reporter in a newspaper? A member of the Datang Chamber of Commerce? A researcher at the institute? Or even... a Lord?"

"Xun, Lord!?"

Rose's breathing suddenly became rapid, his face flushed, he waved his hands repeatedly, and muttered: "What are you talking about, what are you talking about? We are tenant farmers, how can we become a noble like the Lord?"

Jim smiled and began to seduce Rose: "It was impossible before, but it is possible now. The Lord said that as long as you complete the school courses and pass the examination and review, you can obtain the status of an Honorary Lord. Think about it. Well, what a great honor this is!”

Ross lowered his head and glanced at his son, who still had a runny nose and was dirty. Would such a son become the kind of lord who wore bright clothes and attended high-class occasions? is it possible? Can he also be favored by a noble lady and live a comfortable and superior life? Don't you have to face the loess and back to the sky like yourself?

is it possible?

Seeing that Ross didn't seem to have made up his mind, Jim decided to take action. He coughed lightly and said, "According to the new territorial law promulgated by the lord, it is the obligation and right of Ellington Territorians for school-age children to go to school. If they don't go to school, , the corresponding families will cancel the tax reduction policy, and at the same time, penalties such as serving in the mines will be increased, and they will not receive other benefits in the future, and there will even be more serious penalties, such as paying education compensation, etc."

There is actually a punishment for not going to school! ?

Ross opened his mouth and looked at his son, his eyes filled with struggle.

After the big stick was beaten, the next step was the sweet dates. Jim smiled slightly and said: "Maybe you think literacy and mathematics are useless, but I want to tell you that at Ellington College, there are more than just these two courses. , and many other courses. After you have a firm grasp of Chinese and mathematics, the school arranges introduction to basic magic and combat skills, and the teachers are scholars from the elves."

"Think about it, scholars from the elves come to teach the basics of magic and combat! Among all the major human kingdoms, which country or territory can have this kind of treatment? Only we, Ellington! The lord said that if a student is found If they have magic talent or combat talent, he will reward alchemy potions to help students awaken their talents and become the Apocalypse!"

"Even if you don't want him to become a scholar in the future, the opportunity to become an apocalypse is very rare. Is it because you want to be lazy and let your son do the work for you, so you delay his future and let him miss such an important event? Opportunity?”

"Besides, do you need his help in farming? There is no need at all! This year's spring planting, the lord will send a large number of magic cultivators to help with farming. You only need to pay a small amount of silver coins to complete the farming work easily. All he needs to do is fertilize and water it, how easy it is? Why delay his future because of this?"

Although the cakes that Tang En drew before were all wonderful, for the people of Purandal, becoming an apocalypse was obviously more attractive. After hearing what Jim said, Ross, who had been hesitant, finally calmed down and said : "Okay! I agreed! Let him go to school!"

Jim breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good. You will definitely not regret the choice you made today. Please sign this document."

"I, I'm not good at writing yet..."

Ross blushed. Although he had learned to read according to the literacy tutorial in Datang Daily, he was still not very good at writing. After signing his name on the document crookedly, he felt inexplicably embarrassed.

In the future, at least my son will be able to write beautiful words, right? Even if you can't become an apocalypse, it would be a great thing to enter a lord's mansion or the home of another noble to become a secretary...

Bonnie's house.

"Please think about it for your daughter. There are absolutely only advantages and no disadvantages to going to school."

"B-but...Nicole, you..."

"Dad, I want to go to school!"

Nicole said loudly: "I heard what Ilia said yesterday. She said that there will be a lot of children in the school in the future, and there will be a lot of fun things and good stories. I want to go to school!"

"But dad goes to work during the day, and we need you at home..."

"dad!"

"I think you still..."

"dad!"

"Alright alright!"

Bonnie was really having a headache being stared at by his daughter. Coupled with the newly enacted laws and punishment policies, he had no choice but to agree.

"Very good, please sign your name here, Nicole, and remember to report to school on the morning of the 15th."

"That's great! I like my dad third!"

Bonnie's face fell instantly as he was signing: "I'm only third? Who is first and second?"

Nicole said with a smile: "The second one is of course mom, the first one..."

Nicole made a face: "I won't tell you."

"You girl..."

"I'm going to tell Betty, Jillian and Ilia the good news!"

Nicole said and ran out of the house, eager to share her good news with her other friends.

This kind of thing is also happening in various families in Ellington. The problems encountered by the admissions staff are similar. They are worried that the children going to school will reduce the family's labor force, and they have never heard of going to school. I was worried about the matter, but in the end, those admissions staff who had been carefully trained by Tang En to deal with various situations were able to overcome these difficulties.

Enrollment is in progress smoothly.

On the other side, at Yalinks and the Cathedral of Light, Pope Jesolini XXIII had received the news from Iluli. He prayed under the statue for a day and a night before finally making up his mind.

"Notify Lyon that from now on, the Knights Templar will enter a state of combat readiness."

The pope said to the priest next to him: "At the same time, notify church clergy, ascetics, and combatants in various places to search for the whereabouts of the Dark Serpent in all aspects. If there is any news, report it immediately."

"From today on, the First and Second Knights will begin patrolling in Alyinx. Pay close attention to the aura of dark power. If you find any, don't act rashly and notify me immediately."

"Also tell them that the war with the cultists has begun."

The Pope's order was immediately conveyed to the churches of the Holy See of Light through special channels. Almost at the same time, the entire human kingdom discovered that the Holy See of Light had entered a very sensitive period.

"Great Jabilni... I hope that the evil dark power will be exposed to the light as soon as possible..."

The pope looked in the direction of the palace and castle, holding the glorious ring that symbolized the light of the Holy See. The soft light emitted from his hand brought a sense of warmth to the people around him.

After receiving Eluli's feedback, he completely believed the news released by Tang En, so he decided to cooperate with Ellington's work.

When facing the power of darkness, the Holy See's divine magic has a natural advantage, so they must join in this war. More importantly, they must appease the people after the war. In this regard, royal power will never be as good as divine power. The power of faith is very powerful.

Royal palace castle, throne room.

"Your Majesty Gilad, we have received the exact news. General Marshall and the 10,000 black-armored troops have been completely destroyed... They have not even been able to break through the gate of Fort Casparmi."

On the throne, after hearing the report, Gilad's face was as dark as water. He stared coldly at the intelligence officer below: "Ellington, how many people were sent?"

"According to the informant's report, there are four thousand people, Your Majesty, an army of four thousand Apocalypse."

"Four thousand people...that's four thousand Apocalypse..."

Gilad laughed angrily: "A total of four thousand people silently appeared at Fort Casparmi from Ellington, and they also wiped out all ten thousand of my black-armored troops. Even General Marshall died there. There - then, my intelligence officer, can you tell me how Tang En did this?"

The intelligence officer who had completely lost his senses shrank back, but without any sense of fear, he said calmly: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we have absolutely nothing in this regard -"

A cold light flashed, and with a "chi-la" sound, the intelligence officer's body turned into a pile of minced meat.

"I don't need trash...someone."

Gilad said coldly: "I need someone to figure out how Twain got four thousand soldiers to Fort Kaspami silently!"

"Leave it to me, Your Majesty."

The person who came out was Frank!
