Chapter 274: Exam
After dinner, the candle flame entered the castle hall early. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When night falls, the book teacher would give a lecture in the hall, and unlike the aristocratic colleges in the big cities, the students who came to listen were Mutual Aid witches.
But she wasn't the first to reach the "classroom", Evelyn was already seated at the long table and waved at her.
"Has His Highness Roland given you any assignments lately?" asked Evelyn as soon as Candlelight sat down.
I remember that when she first came, she still called the other party lord dryly. Candle Flame smiled secretly in the bottom of his heart, "Yes, he let me use the ability to cast the ability on some strange-shaped metal bumps, so that they can solidify at room temperature, and I don't know what it is for." ”
"Yes...... Is that so," her eyes darkened, "Your Highness has not yet asked me to do anything. ”
"Isn't there a rule on the content of the exercises?" said Candle Flame in a strange way.
"No, it's all my own casual practice," Evelyn shook her head, "and he'll only occasionally come to me to taste a new brew." ”
"Maybe that's what Your Highness likes, you've been in a tavern and are familiar with the taste of all kinds of drinks. There aren't many witches like that. ”
"But you don't need a witch to taste wine," she protested, "and a golden dragon is enough to recruit a dedicated winemaker." ”
"Uh......" Candle Flame patted the other party's shoulder, "I think His Highness must have his plans." ”
"That's how the book comforts me, but even I don't know what this ability can do, and I can't turn water into wine out of thin air...... But the common people could only afford to drink the inferior ale, and the nobles had different tastes. Evelyn rested her chin on the table and said in frustration, "And besides, the wine made by His Highness is getting more and more ...... It was so bad that I suggested to him mix it with water or juice, but he seemed to want nothing more than the strongest of the wines. ”
Candlelight didn't know what to say for a while, and at this point, she and Evelyn could be called sympathetic. After making their way to Sleeping Isle, they spend most of their time doing chores - as fish oil becomes more abundant, curing candles becomes dispensable, and drinking alcohol is forbidden by Master Tilly.
In the early stage, when life was tense, materials were often distributed according to ability, and the candle flame sometimes could only get one unsalted grilled fish a day. She didn't think there was anything wrong with that, and she was willing to give more food to the witches who consumed a lot of mana, but the group and vague sense of rejection among the witches made her feel a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Mistress Tilly took good care of them, apologized for this distribution method, and promised to adjust it when the supplies were abundant, so that the witches did not show the rejection too obviously.
But in the border towns, it was almost never the case - the witches all sat at the same table, feasting with His Royal Highness the Prince, dressed and dressed in the same way...... The most important thing is that they see each other as a whole, whether they are strong or not, and this can be seen in their daily interactions. Although she had only been in the border town for two weeks, she had already felt it deeply.
They really think of each other as their sisters.
This made Candleflame very envious.
When all the witches were seated one after another, Teacher Shujuan walked in with a stack of blank papers, "I won't teach anything new today, I will conduct a comprehensive test of what everyone has learned." ”
"What's that?" said Lightning, the first to raise his hand.
"Goo-goo?" Maisie followed.
"You have been studying for three months now, and Your Highness thinks it is necessary to test your learning. Shujuan smiled, "All the questions have been listed on these papers, divided into three parts: Wang Chinese, mathematics and nature, a total of sixty questions, correct answers are given extra points, and incorrect answers are minus...... Of course, if you don't understand the question, you can't raise your hand to ask a question. I believe that you have already mastered the reading and writing of words, otherwise you would not be able to answer even if you knew the answer. She paused, "By the way, His Highness said that only more than half of the people who answered correctly could enjoy the ice cream dessert on the weekend afternoon, and those who scored below this threshold would be disqualified from afternoon tea." ”
The candle flame heard a click behind him, and turned his head to see the nightingale look stunned, and the charcoal that fell to the ground broke in two.
"In addition, His Highness also made a special statement that the five witches from the Sleeping Island are not among them, so you can stay and answer the questions with everyone, or you can take a day off," Shujuan looked at Candlelight and Evelyn and the others, "No matter what the final score is, you can enjoy a delicious afternoon tea." ”
"Whew," Evelyn patted her chest, turning her head and whispering, "I couldn't even read the words, and I thought the ice cream was definitely gone." ”
Honey and Lian happily got up and saluted the scroll and left the hall.
Coupled with some physical discomfort, Sylvie did not come in the first place, and only she and Evelyn were left among the Witches of the Sleeping Isle.
"Are you going to stay?" Candleflame asked in a low voice.
"I want to try," the other man nodded, "Didn't His Highness Roland say that knowledge can evolve abilities? If I don't put more effort into this, I'm afraid I'll never be able to compare with them." She smiled slyly, "These days, I practice calligraphy in my room after class, and Lily and Mizuki teach me to read and write some common words. ”
At the mention of this, the frustration in her tone suddenly dispelled a lot, and her eyes became shining, which made the candle flame can't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
"yes, I'll try it too. ”
......
"Your Highness, the results of this test are out," the scroll handed the summary table to Roland.
"It's hard work," the recent new discovery in the North Slope mining area made him puzzled, and it was difficult to concentrate even on his daily work, so he simply shifted his attention to the easier things first, "Hey, Nightingale's grades are actually qualified?"
"Yes, and the score is still at the top, of which the Wang Chinese part is a perfect score," Shujuan smiled, "After all, most of your questions are very simple, and she already knows how to read and write, which is naturally much better than a witch who learned it from scratch." ”
"Tsk," Roland smacked his lips, "and thought this exam would make her eat less sweets." Before he could finish speaking, he felt a hard pinch on his shoulder. "All in all, the results look pretty good this time, all the members of the Witch League are above sixty, and it seems that your education has been effective. ”
"It's also inseparable from their efforts. ”
Roland looked down, "Are there only two witches from the Sleeping Isle who took part in the test?"
"Well, among them, Evelyn has five points, and Candle Fire has thirty-six points, the latter should have a certain foundation, and most of the scores come from the Wang Chinese part. She replied.
After only two weeks of classes, she was already able to score points from the assessment part outside the text, and the witch's individual quality is indeed amazing, worthy of the continuous improvement of magic both inside and outside. Their own witches are also excellent, such as Lily, Hummingbird, Mystery Moon and others only took three months to go from not knowing a word to basically mastering the reading and writing of words, which alone surpasses most ordinary people.
If everyone could completely put aside their prejudices and work together with the witches to promote the development of society and civilization, what would the future look like? (To be continued.) )
