Chapter 11 The Mysterious Woman
Today Manuel brought several scholars to Weissenburg to arrange a teacher for Frederick.
According to aristocratic tradition, the family will arrange a tutor for the child when he is 6 to 8 years old. This tutor will accompany the child to grow up, provide enlightenment education to the child when he is young, and wait for the child to become an adult. He will become his right-hand man later.
Frederick's parents failed to arrange such a tutor for their son and left. Then Richard Nall came and arranged one for himself.
Specializing in martial arts, Richard Nall found Manuel and asked him to arrange a teacher other than Frederick's martial arts.
In addition to magic, the current enlightenment subjects also include the traditional "seven arts" of grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music. Among them, people can express accurate grammar, express vivid rhetoric and express implicit truth. Logic belongs to liberal arts, and the other four belong to science.
Courses such as physics and alchemy are professional courses and will only be studied when you are older.
According to Richard Naer's arrangement, Frederick's study was based on a ten-day cycle. Excluding a twelve-day break every five days, there was exactly one class every day for eight days.
The person who teaches the introductory magic course is Miss Psyche. She looks to be only twenty years old. She is tall, has long brown hair, light brown eyes, and a straight nose. She is a beautiful woman with a southern style. .
Manuel was worried that Frederick would despise Psyche when he saw her young, and explained specifically: "Psyche is a genius, very good at compound magic, and has a lot of knowledge about the basic principles of various magics. It is suitable for in-depth research and teaching the basics of magic.”
Before Frederick could reply, Richard Nall said: "It is Frederick's blessing that Miss Psyche is willing to condescend to teach Frederick magic."
Psyche just smiled and said calmly Said: "Frederick is a smart boy, I believe he will achieve great achievements in the future."
Frederick felt that the two people should know each other, and Richard Nall said that it was no problem, so that's for sure No problem, get up immediately and salute.
Walter, who taught Frederick grammar, rhetoric and logic, was also a poet. His hometown was in the mountains two to three hundred kilometers south of Weissenburg. In his early years, he traveled around to study and came to Constantbul.
Frederick was literate, but being literate and being able to read books and write articles were two different things, so he naturally had to learn obediently.
Arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music were four subjects that Philip originally did not want to learn, but when he thought of being able to fish in class, he became a good student.
Although the scholars who taught him these four courses are not top-notch in the industry, they are also well-known in the circle.
Frederick got to know all the teachers, and today’s class began.
There is a small garden next to the castle. There is a well and a pool. There are some aquatic plants floating on the water and small fish in the pool. The spiral water wheel driven by the windmill relay pumps the water to the water tank. , some of which drains into the pool.
In normal times, you can check whether the well has been poisoned by the fish in the pool. In wartime, this pool can be used for drinking horses.
There is a stone pavilion by the pool. On the first day of class, Psyche arranged the teaching location here.
Because magic teaching requires demonstrations and exercises from time to time, it is a bit dangerous if done indoors.
There were three people sitting in the pavilion, Frederick, Psyche and Richard Nall, and no one else was allowed to approach them.
Richard Nar said to Psyche respectfully: "Grandma Psyche..."
"Huh?!" Psyche's eyes seemed to be able to kill, even the sword master All a little timid.
Richard Nall immediately changed his words and asked: "How is Miss Psyche doing recently?"
Frederick looked shocked. Richard Nall was over fifty years old and actually called Psyche. As a mother-in-law, this is a huge amount of information. Psyche replied nonchalantly: "Still the same as before, walking around and looking around. When you are tired, find a place to rest for a while."
Richard Nall said respectfully: " Frederick is a smart boy. With your guidance, he will succeed in the future."
Psyche reached out and pinched Frederick's cute face, her brown eyes seemed to see through everything, calm and unfazed. He said without emotion: "Let's live first and then talk."
"I'm going to class, you go and do your business."
When Richard Nall was about to have time, Psyche suddenly said: "If you tell Frederick that you will only come before me today." Things...hehe..."
The sword master immediately patted his chest and promised that he would never say anything he shouldn't say.
Frederick was stunned. Richard Nall was a world-famous sword master. The only person who could scare him so much was at least the sword master and magic god.
“Very curious?” Psyche asked Frederick with a smile.
Frederick nodded.
Psyche pinched Frederick's nose and said: "You are not qualified to know the answer yet."
Then the corners of her mouth curled up slightly and said: "But, I can Let me tell you a little secret, there are similarities between the two of us."
Frederick was shocked. If it was just a general similarity, she would not tell it on purpose, but the most special thing about him is... …
“Add a WeChat V and I get 50%?” Frederick suddenly asked in Mandarin.
Psyche did not have any special reaction, but entered the teaching mode, first asking Frederick a question: "How is magic produced?"
No special reaction at this time is the most obvious reaction, Frederick stopped thinking about anything else and answered this question first.
There used to be a knight in the Wesson family who was a magician. Frederick learned a few tricks from him when he was a child, and he still understood some basic common sense.
“There are a large number of magic elements around us.” He replied, “When these magic elements are controlled by mental power or move in a certain pattern in the magic conductor due to the magic pressure difference in the magic circle, Magic appeared."
Psyche nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "What do you think is the most important thing in magic research?"
Frederick thought about what he had just said, went through it word by word, and finally said: "Rule."
"That's right." Psyche said solemnly, "Everything in the world is repeatable. There are rules, but the road to the rules is extremely difficult and dangerous. There is an abyss ahead, and there are even pig-like teammates behind you. Countless people fell on the way forward. "
"You should be able to understand what I mean. "
Frederick nodded first. The history of technological development in his hometown was not smooth sailing, and then asked: "So, can we find patterns in fields like Richard Naer? "
< br>Psyche reached out and touched his head, and said with a smile: "You are too far away from the laws of the world now. Don't think so much, start with the most basic ones first."
"Do you know the four types of fireballs?"
