"What's wrong?" Geer looked at Belif who was driving the horse in confusion.
"There are two people in front of me, they seem to be blocking the car."
Following Belif's voice, the carriage also slowed down a little under his control.
Geer raised his eyes and looked towards the front of the road. He saw two young men waving to Geer on the roadside not far ahead. Next to it was an open space with an old carriage parked on it.
"Hey, it's the Brothers Grimm. Belive, come closer. I know these two people." Geer looked at it and immediately recognized that this was a traveler who had set off a day earlier than them, and he lowered his alertness.
"Yes." Belif flicked the horse's reins, and the old horse pulling the cart continued to move forward normally, causing a clear sound of bells.
"Mr. Griezmann, it's really great to meet you, and the beautiful Miss Carmelita. Your elegant and noble face is as bright as the bright moon in the sky, illuminating my dry and withered heart.
Since I saw you, my dreams for the past two days have been filled with your indescribable beauty..." Welcome
The person who came was a young man in his twenties. His blond hair was messy and draped on both sides of his head. His dirty face was dotted with freckles. His body looked quite strong. Overall, he was a pretty man.
A nice young man, this is James Green, the elder brother of the Brothers Green.
Behind him is a relatively thin young man. His face is quite similar to James, but he wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and his hair is neatly combed. He looks quite scholarly. This is Murray, the younger brother of the Brothers Grimm.
S. Green.
While James was flattering Geer and Carmelita endlessly, Maurice smiled awkwardly and greeted Geer: "Mr. Griezmann, Miss Carmelita. Hello...
"
"What happened?" Geer jumped down from the carriage, put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and stepped forward to greet the Brothers Grimm.
Geer had chatted with these two people in the hotel. They were a pair of interesting people. The elder brother was very slick and promoted the cheap and shoddy goods they carried everywhere. He could boast his goods in dozens of ways.
He is very arrogant, but he has a good mind. The younger brother is more like a nerd. He holds his precious notebook that records magical stories and ridiculous rumors from all over the world all day long and keeps silent, but when he talks about things that interest him
, he will become garrulous again.
In the previous exchanges, Geer had a good chat with the brothers. He even invited them to have a drink, which was considered a bit of a friendship.
Seeing Geer coming over, James smiled like a flower blooming on his face: "Mr. Griezmann, I really don't want to trouble you like this, but our carriage axle is broken and we don't have a spare.
I really have no choice but to ask you for help."
Geer stepped forward and came to the carriage parked on the side of the road. He glanced at it. The axle at the rear was indeed broken, and the break at the break looked like it was broken naturally. It looked like it was indeed an accident.
"Belive, do we have a spare axle?"
"Master, we brought one."
"Give it to them." Geer instructed without hesitation.
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Griezmann." James thanked him quickly. He and Maurice went to Bellevue and took the spare axle pulled out from under the coachman's seat. They took it to their own carriage and started.
replace.
The carriages on both sides were the kind used in the countryside to haul straw and carry grain. The axle specifications were similar, and the Grimm brothers seemed to be experienced in repairing carriages. It took about ten minutes of tinkering to replace the axle, and it was running normally.
Gale was not in a hurry and was waiting beside Carmelita. The two seemed relaxed, but in fact they carefully observed their surroundings and found nothing wrong. Then they looked at each other and exchanged their opinions.
The opinion made me feel relieved.
After repairing the carriage, Geer and the Grimm brothers naturally continued to move forward along this only road together. This is also a common way for travelers to get along with each other. As long as they are sure that the other party is not a threat and the route is the same, they will go together. You must know that in the wild
No
In any safe place, bandits, bandits, wild beasts, etc. are not uncommon things. Even in a remote corner of Defias Town, there is no guarantee that there will be such wild specialties, so we adhere to the principle that one more person means more effort.
According to the principle, it is natural to travel together.
Of course, Geer didn't care about this threat, but he still hoped to get more information about the world from the Brothers Grimm, and the two brothers were really a pair of wonderful people, so he went with them.
Not long after, James ran to Geer's carriage, sat down on the straw pile behind without caring, and started chatting with Geer and the others. His carriage was driven by his brother Maurice, who followed Geer.
Behind Er's carriage, only a horse's length away from Ger and the others, he could sometimes insert a word or two.
"Mr. Griezmann, it turns out that you are also going to Eminas. That's great. We can go together along the way. By the way, what are you doing in the capital? Mr. Griezmann, is your home the same?
Where? Or not going to study at Talansky Academy?" James is very talkative, he always has endless topics to talk about, and he will never be silent when he is around.
"Well, I'm going to study at Taransky Academy. By the way, there's no need to call me sir, just call me Ger." Ger looked at the two brothers with interest, while Little Apple had already gone into hiding again to avoid trouble.
Back into Carmelita's clothes.
"Studying is such a wonderful term." James sighed, and Maurice also showed an outward expression, but it soon turned into a sad one.
"Ger, which major are you going to study? The most popular political affairs major and business major? Or the art major and conducting major? Or the history major?"
"Why do you guess these majors?" Geer asked with a smile.
"Because these are the most famous. Business is the latest major. I heard that many noble children have signed up for it, including several princes and princesses. And it is said that as long as they can graduate from the business and get a diploma,
You can obtain barrier-free full trade certificates from surrounding countries, and you can also enjoy tax reductions and exemptions." When James talked about this, his eyes brightened significantly.
"The government affairs department is also very good. Now, as long as you graduate from the government affairs department, you will be hired by the king as a lower-level official. As long as you have some knowledge, who wouldn't want to squeeze in? There is also the art department, which is the best among the surrounding countries.
The cradle of artists, several masters have emerged from it, and it is held every year
We hold national-level art seminars, and not only local artists, but also artists from surrounding countries will gather here. It is really a grand occasion. As for the conducting and history departments, they are also good. I heard that the Talansky Academy has a very large library.
There are all kinds of books in the library, and I heard you can’t finish reading them in a lifetime.”
"You are very well informed."
"That's right, to tell you the truth, Maurice and I also wanted to study at Talansky College, but we didn't have enough money and couldn't even participate in the selection. If I could have entered the business department back then, I would definitely be a student today.
A big businessman." James showed a hint of yearning.
"Is the tuition expensive?" Geer was a little curious about this, after all, it was also related to whether he could enroll in school.
"It's not very expensive, it's very expensive!" James emphasized the word "expensive" in particular: "The participation fee is fifty gold coins per person, and it will not be refunded regardless of whether you are admitted or not. For formal admission, you will have to pay two hundred yuan for living expenses in advance for one year.
Gold coins are charged for each course, ranging from twenty to fifty an hour, and then there are fees for exams, and even for graduation."
Geer frowned slightly. The bag of gold ore given by the Grand Duke had been exchanged privately by Bellif and the hotel owner. Although he must have suffered some losses, he also exchanged it for more than 300 Kabor standard gold coins. He originally thought that
It's already a lot of money, but looking at the charging standards of Talansky Academy, it's just enough for the entrance fee.
"Aren't there many civilians who also go to school? Can they afford the expenses?" Carmelita was a little confused and expressed the same doubts that Geer had.
"I can't afford it, but there are other ways. The characteristic of Amynas is that there are more than three people, more towers, more people, and more money. The money does not refer to gold coins, but to loan sharks,"
"Loan sharking? You mean civilian students borrow loan sharking to go to school?"
"Well, and the loan sharks in the capital Emenas are generally concentrated in the area of the college. The recruitment time is the time when they are most active every year. They will sell their loan sharks everywhere, euphemistically calling them student vouchers.
If civilian students have no money, they can borrow money from them. Of course, the interest will be very high when repaying the loan. For lenders, this is a gamble. As long as the student who bets can graduate, the benefits he can obtain will be difficult to obtain.
imaginary.”
"Then how do civilian students pay off loan sharks?"
"There are many ways, not to mention that students generally have good prospects after graduation and can usually pay off the debt within more than ten years. Lenders are also very tolerant for students who can graduate. After all, students who can graduate have good prospects.
.And there are many jobs that allow students to make money during their time in the college, such as working as experimental assistants for professors and participating in activities organized by the college.
You can earn a lot of money by participating in activities, filling certain service positions in the college, and being a tutor. None of these aristocratic children can do it. They are all done by civilian students. More importantly, the college's library is completely free.
It is open to all students unconditionally. In theory, as long as you are smart enough, you can even complete your studies without taking a single class..."
Listening to James' introduction, Geer had a general understanding of Taransky Academy and Emenas.
"What a strange city."
The good academic atmosphere and the philistine gambling trend completely blended together, which made Geer more and more interested in this capital of a country.
Next, James started chatting all over the world. Even though their brothers were young, they had been to many places, and both Gerald and Carmelita listened with great interest.
"... Talking about Canaan Town, its characteristics... Hey, what's wrong with you?" (To be continued...)
