Not a Witch

The Green Empire is a strict class society, with a huge gap between the rights of nobles and commoners.For example, many schools only recruit children of nobles. If they also recruit children of commoners, noble families will not let their children go to this school or to study under the name of the teacher.

Because the tribes don't like to see their children sitting in the same classroom with those wild children of unknown origin, thinking that this will bring them harm.Similarly, there are some high-end restaurants, libraries, and even shops.

If you are an ordinary person from a green people, you will not be able to access many places in this country, as are many benefits.

Walking on the street, the nobles have special passages, carriages meet at the intersection, and the nobles must be given priority to advance, etc. This inequality is manifested in all parts of society, and even the laws of the empire expressly write that human life is not equal. Some people just want to be more noble.

It stands to reason that in such a system, there should be a lot of contradictions and grievances accumulated between the classes, but the builders of the empire have cleverly designed many channels for ascending.For example, with a very complete military merit system, fighting not only can gain wealth, but also the respect of others.

The various benefits brought by aristocratic status inspired groups of people to set foot on the battlefield and fight hard in order to obtain military merit and change their destiny.This also allowed the Green Empire to greatly suppress domestic anti-war sentiments in the early days and improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

At the same time, in addition to military merit, outstanding craftsmen, priests, scholars, and high-order superhumans can also be granted noble status, separating them from the civilian class.

In this way, the nobles have used various channels to recruit the most elite and outstanding people in this country. There are no extraordinary people and no masters among the commoners, and naturally they cannot make waves.

And most commoners also agree with this concept. The reason why aristocrats are nobles is that they are really powerful, diligent and dare to fight.Many commoners will also educate their children and strive to become nobles in the future.

The privileges of the nobility are also divided into three, six and nine levels. The top tier is naturally the royal family, the four major duke families, and then the next row, the earl, the viscount, the baron, and a large number of lords who cannot be hereditary.At the same time, the nobles will also pay a considerable amount of taxes according to the rank and the number of family registrations, which are used to pay the price of their welfare. In a sense, the privileges of noble status are bought with money.

If the tax is not paid enough, the title will be downgraded, and eventually become a commoner, which has become a means of title recovery.

Relying on this kind of unequal treatment and giving some hope, and constantly motivating the common people, and even the small nobles to continue to climb up, the Green Empire maintains a very high vitality, iteratively advances in internal and external competition, and finally defeats Austrian. The country has become the strongest country on the continent.

Chapter 6 Two Teenagers ([-])

"Rock, are you in the top three in the school?" the boy asked.

"Yes." He raised his eyebrows, no matter what, he was still a little proud.

"As long as you defeat the No. [-] Tokolin later, you will be eligible to go to Emenas."

"It's easy to say, how hard Tokolin works, the whole school doesn't know." Rock walked aside, picked up his short sword, pulled out a few sword flowers, and continued.

"When it's you, the family has prepared a letter of recommendation for you."

"Haha...that's true." The young man touched his head and admitted it.

Looking at Isaiah's smirk, Rock felt a little angry for some reason.

The dog nobles don't know which family they went to this time.Rock was a little dissatisfied, obviously his talent was much higher than Isaiah, because of his identity and no background, he could only compete fiercely with his peers in school for the only place, and these contained golden spoons. Born young masters and young ladies can easily get what they dream of.

"I'm leaving." Rock said casually, turned around and was about to leave, he didn't like being with this silly guy.

"Hey, don't, don't you think that you're not convinced just now when you make a gesture today?" Isaiah thought to herself, how could she easily let go after waiting for a peer to accompany her to practice.

"What's the gesture? Which assassin have you seen face-to-face with someone else? Isn't that stupid?"

"Why can't assassins fight head-to-head with others? This kind of situation will always happen."

"It can only be said that this assassin is unprofessional." Rock used the dagger to push aside Isaiah's broadsword, ready to continue to leave.

But the boy trotted a few steps and stood in front of him again.

"Why do you always want to be an assassin, Rock, obviously Uncle Wade is very handsome with a big sword."

"Heh, how handsome is it? It's not as a guard for your family, what's there to be proud of."

Seeing that Isaiah was in front of him, Rock had to stop and argue with him.

"Have you ever heard of a story where the protagonist is a guard? Have you ever seen a legendary hero who became famous by guarding?" He shook his head, his short black hair was slightly raised, as if he was sleeping bent.

"I won't be like Dad, Tie Hanhan does things for your family." He said rebelliously, with a look of disdain on his face.

"But the reputation of the assassin is not good, and it always feels a little unfair." Isaiah thought for a while.

"Yes, yes, the light is reserved for you noble people. We rats in the gutter are evil as long as we use other means. Is this your point of view?"

"No, this..." The boy was at a loss for words.

"I just want to be an assassin. Seeing which one of you is not pleasing to the eye, I will kill you with one knife. There is no need to talk about justice."

"Isn't justice bad?"

"Justice is good, but that's not my justice, but yours. Well, I don't want to talk to you anymore, I'm going back."

"No, unless you hit me, I'll let you go."

"Tsk."

Rock swung his dagger and stabbed Isaiah's shoulder quickly. Isaiah couldn't avoid it for a while and was slightly injured, and his blood stained his clothes.

Seeing the blood coming out, Roque was also a little flustered, and the dagger in his hand hesitated for a while, but Isaiah didn't care about this, and endured the pain and swept the sword over. , and then also got serious, taking advantage of the flexibility of the short sword in close combat, and beat Isaiah to the left and right.

The sound of metal clashing sounded in the woods. Although Rock had the upper hand, he didn't dare to strike hard. After all, this was the object of their family's allegiance. Later, they had to fight with each other, taking advantage of Isaiah's flaws and tripping him. On the ground, and then the two fought on the ground.

In the end, the two of them got tired and got up out of breath, their bodies covered with dust and broken leaves.

Rock wiped the sweat and dust on his face, and looked at the guy on the opposite side, the blood on his shoulders was everywhere, but this will have stopped slowly, after all, the wound is not very big.

"Idiot, aren't you afraid of death?" Rock pulled out a small bottle of wound medicine from his arms, then stepped forward and let Isaiah expose the wound on his shoulder.

Isaiah seemed a little reluctant and felt ashamed.

"You're still embarrassed, aren't you, you'll be happy if I go back and be beaten by my dad, aren't you?" Rock looked contemptuous, then helped him clean the wound, poured some medicine, and then simply bandaged it.

"Okay, I'm leaving, don't say I was injured after that." Rock clapped his hands and was about to leave, and he kept muttering in his heart, why did he meet such a guy.

"do not..."

"Damn, isn't it my dad who guards your house? Please, uncle, bypass me, and I really don't like men."

"Don't step on my hand!" The boy on the ground was also angry.

"Ah, okay, I didn't notice."

Just now thinking about how to make this matter a little smaller, without being beaten by the old man, Rock raised his foot.

"Rock, you have to be my little brother, or I'll tell your dad about it."

"It's yours, Isaiah, you're really disgraceful to the nobles, I... OK, I promise you to be a follower for a month."

Thinking of the various privileges of the nobles in the empire, in order not to cause trouble for the family, Rock had to admit it.

Seeing Isaiah laughing like a pig, she was really blind, Rock asked angrily.

"Are you so persistent in finding someone to be your little brother?"

"Of course, look at those founding masters, the legendary heroes who are not followed by a group of people, go out and be more majestic." Isaiah has seen a lot of knights recently, and is very envious of that kind of situation.

"Hehe, the legend of the wind and the moon, just think about it for ordinary people, everyone knows that Roland and Yalin were born princes, so they can be kings, but Isaiah, you are just a child of the baron's family, don't spend all day dreaming."

At this time, Isaiah also got up from the ground and fought back. "Aren't you dreaming too, don't think I don't know what's on your mind."

"Assassin's justice, I think you are just trying to be handsome. How to use one person's power to cut off fate and decide the direction of the world. I already know what you wrote in the book."

"You...you can." Rock looked embarrassed.

"The son of Baron Burris is also a thief."

"I didn't. This is what your dad said. He also sighed that his son had great ambitions, hahaha."

Rock couldn't hang his face, he picked up the dagger and left.

"Don't forget, during this time, you want to accompany me to practice swords." Isaiah's voice came from behind, and for some reason people became angry when they heard it.

"Okay, practice swordsmanship, I think you are..."

Rock turned his back to Isaiah with a gesture, and then the figure slowly disappeared into the woods.

Chapter 8 Golden Maple Syrup

Snowflakes are floating in the Tisiran Mountains, and in a blink of an eye, winter has arrived.

The fluffy snowflakes fell quietly, slowly stacked on the leaves in the forest, the broad leaves were gradually bent, and then the snow fell, the leaves bounced slightly, setting off bursts of white crystal mist.

In the hut of Maple Leaf Courtyard, a large pot is boiling in the hall, or a large vat is more appropriate.

An orange-yellow flame burned at the bottom of the pot, bubbles emerged from time to time, and then burst, white steam continuously rose from the red pot, Loren Hill kept stirring with a long spoon, and the air was filled with a sweet smell. sweet taste.

As she slowly stirred, the liquid in the pot slowly thickened, and finally became a semi-solid and semi-liquid state.

It seems almost.

The girl thought to herself, then picked up the big spoon and pressed the liquid in it. It was soft and seemed to be elastic. She took out the large baking pan prepared in advance, and poured the semi-solid maple syrup on the baking pan.

Then use a spatula to spread the syrup evenly on a half-meter-wide baking pan, about an inch thick, and then cut it into square pieces with a knife. The orange-yellow sugar cubes are similar to jelly, with a transparent color. Also exudes a sweet smell.

Roland Hill carefully lifted the baking tray and put it into his own ceramic oven, then took out a plate from the cabinet and continued pouring a layer of rich maple sugar.

The sap of the maple tree is rich in sugar, and it also has good nutrition and efficacy. It was loved by many people in the previous life. Today, Loren Hill wants to try to make a batch of candies. First, the candies are more convenient to carry, and also, they will go out in the future. , maple syrup is easy to spoil if left for a long time.

She then placed all three cut baking trays in the original clay oven, closed the lid, and placed the oven on a shelf inside the fireplace, letting the flames continue to bake.

And after she cleaned up the traces in the hall, she sat quietly by the fireplace and waited.

Outside the window of the room, the falling snow can still be seen, and the sky is slowly darkening. Some snow has accumulated on the frame of the window, and the glass is also covered with a layer of hoarfrost, making it difficult to see the outside situation. Only the sound of wind whistling can be heard.

The girl is wearing a white winter skirt with fluff on the neckline, sleeves and corners. The winter skirt has a layer of shawls on the shoulders. The overall look is very layered, and it has a better thermal insulation effect on the shoulders that are easy to catch cold. The lining is a warm, soft fleece that fits perfectly despite being a little thick. .

Speaking of which, this dress was added by the Lamia Chamber of Commerce. Before leaving, the Chelsea head maid asked her to take it forcibly, because clothes such as clothes might not fit well when they were given to others, and it would not be good to keep them in the warehouse.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy soon after returning to the Tixilan Mountains.

There are thick books on the small table in front of the girl, and there are some notes next to them, which are prepared for future school.

Although there are letters of recommendation, Emenas will still take some tests, such as writing, history, mathematics, etc.Otherwise, the recruited students are illiterate, and they will not be able to learn a lot of things they want to learn. Not only will a lot of time be wasted, but the students themselves will be under great pressure.

At least the school will admit you if you pass the test. In addition, if your grades do not meet a certain standard, you will have to take extra classes in the first grade. I have to say that mathematics is really a versatile subject, even in the extraordinary world, this one is also very important. .

According to Lan Lier, in order to study under the tutor of Magic Sequence, the math score must be excellent or above.In addition, each college has different requirements for subjects. For example, the Angel Sequence requires a good grade in Chinese, the Necronomicon Sequence also requires mathematics to be excellent, the War Sequence requires a Codex score, and the Natural Sequence also requires plants and herbs, and so on.

If you want to enter a college for further study, you have to prepare in the first year, and in the second year, you will be promoted to the branch.Many students in remote areas with weak foundations will get stuck in this hurdle, and many have to study two first grades to advance to the second grade.

Although the college is a five-year system, in fact, only a few people can complete their studies and graduate within five years.

When Lorraine Hill left Hopelander, Mrs. Filia gave her some books to read and prepare in advance.

This reminded her of those tense and fulfilling years in high school.If college life is a fluffy marshmallow, high school is a tight, rock-compressed cookie.

Can you imagine, writing a gel pen refill in 2-3 days, even having to memorize vocabulary for 3 minutes before running in winter, the timetable given by the teacher is accurate to what you have to do every 5 minutes, It's really all-round without dead ends, and every drop of time in life must be squeezed out.

Although some people criticize the rigidity of this system, sometimes it is because of this rigidity that some fairness is maintained. After graduation, everyone will find that there are so many tricks that can be played in this world, and I have to sigh Worlds, full of wonders.

After taking back his thoughts a little, Roland Hill picked up the book and looked at it. There is basically no problem with the language and words. In mathematics, it is about the same as the junior high school. After a little review, he can basically remember it.
