This era cannot be compared with later generations. The price of papyrus is still relatively expensive for commoners. It is generally used for formal writing. Children learn to practice calligraphy with sand and soil. Therefore, Patroclus prepared a wooden frame filled with soil and painted with wax. Writing on a tablet can be stored for a long time, easy to carry, and inexpensive, but Patocross's parents are reluctant to spend the money. As for the folding wooden chair, it is a masterpiece of the newly-built Cristoia school supplies store. The price is also cheap. It was welcomed by the people as soon as it was launched. It is much stronger than the simple wooden stool made by Patroclus' parents.

So Patroclus jumped with excitement when he took Aguilas's gift.

Village chief, this...this... Pariandoros, who was still arrogant to Babaxun's son just now, faced Aguilas, who was a former soldier and now has a high prestige. it is good.

What is this! Aguilas stared at him? : Little Cross saved a few villages. This is the reward he deserves! I'm optimistic about this kid. He is brave, smart, and doesn't panic when he is in trouble. When he can read and count, he will be better than you in the future!

When Aguilas commented on his son, the father was so excited that he claimed that he was.

The mother covered her face, tears flowing uncontrollably. She remembered the hard days she had spent with her husband following her husband over the years. Her husband worked as a porter at the port, and she took her children to accept employment. She helped merchants watch their stalls at the market. I have to endure discrimination and hardships from customers, and endure severe heat and cold. I have fainted several times due to heat stroke. I have no salary, and I have to compensate for lost goods. The alliance was established, and the great consul Davos was in charge. Only poor foreigners like them had the opportunity to become citizens of the city-state, own land, houses, and live a stable and prosperous life...

Therefore, she hopes that her children will stop following her husband's old ways, learn knowledge well, and serve as public officials in the city-state in the future, and live a decent life.

After breakfast and putting school supplies in a brand new linen bag, Patroclus was led by his mother to the shrine enshrined at home. In the past, only the humble statues of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, and Ares, the god of war, were enshrined here. One is to hope that the farmland will have a good harvest, and the other is to bless the husband who served as a legionnaire during the war to be safe and gain military exploits. It was not until the children were going to school that the statue of Apollo, the sun god, was added, because this god was also in charge of art.

Led by his mother, Patroclus finished his prayers to Apollo.

The mother gives four drachmas to her son, which is the tuition fee for one school year. After her repeated instructions, Patroclus finally hit the road.

At this time, the sky was just dawn, and the crescent moon could still be seen vaguely. Fortunately, it was summer, and I was wearing a linen jacket.

Bare his calf, otherwise the dew on the weeds by the roadside will definitely wet his clothes.

The cool and fresh morning breeze, mixed with the smell of earth and some vanilla, blew on Patroclus, making him feel relaxed and happy. Gudong! The voice, it was the frightened little fish doing something wrong. Patroclus would have taken off his leather sandals and jumped into the ditch, making a fuss, but today his mind flew to school early.

He carried a schoolbag, a wooden chair and a wooden frame, hummed an unintelligible tune, and strode forward.

On the road, the number of pedestrians increased significantly. Passengers in carriages, caravans full of goods, farmers carrying burdens... Of course, many parents took their children to the school to sign up, and the bustling flow of people flocked to the city of Turii, as well as the port and market.

In Davos' original conception, the site of Dionia School should be built on the sloping land to the west of Turiyi City and the north bank of the Delo River. In the future, the Dionysian Academy will be built near the school, making it the largest educational base for the Dionysian Alliance.

However, in the discussion with Kunogolata and the others, Davos temporarily cancelled this plan. After all, most of the students in the school are children. Building a school on the north bank of the Delo River is not only far away, but it is also a bit desolate now. , the children will not only consume too much physical strength, but also are not very safe, so the school was finally located in the delta area in the center of the confluence of the Krati and Koseni rivers. Located at the midpoint of the Sybari Plain, it is convenient for the children of Dionia citizens on both sides of the Krati to arrive at school on time.

None of the elders objected, because they knew that this was for the children of the citizens of Dionia, including their own children, so the construction efficiency was very high. In less than half a year, the wall, Classrooms, school buildings, and playgrounds are naturally impossible to be beautiful in such a short time, but the playground for children to play and train is large enough to accommodate all the parents and children who sign up today.

Thousands of people crowded the playground. For fear of accidents, Ancitanos also invited patrols to maintain order.

Patroclus stood in the line, looking around. He found that not many children like him came to sign up alone, and there were very few children his age, so he felt a little uncomfortable when a lot of curious eyes were on him.

At this time, there was a commotion from the team behind him, and the noise was getting louder and louder, and everyone around looked back, which made Patroclus very curious.

It's Lord Davos's wife Cristoia and his daughter!

Lord Davos is very young, how can his daughter be so old?!

That's his adopted daughter. It is said to be the daughter of Marcellis, the former consul of Amendolara...

...

Lord Davos' daughter? ! Patroclus listened to the discussions of the people around him, and became even more curious. He squatted down, looked up through the slits of the people, and what caught his eye was a tall adult woman with an elegant temperament and a beautiful appearance. Just like the beauty god Aphrodite imagined in his young mind, he has an indescribable beauty. Beside her was a cute-looking girl. Facing the onlookers, although she was a little shy, she was quietly and curiously observing the surroundings. When she noticed the pair of young eyes in the gap, she did not Dodging, instead, she opened her bright eyes to look at the past.

Patroclus quickly shyly avoided.

Madam, please come to the front! Not only out of respect for Davos, but also out of gratitude to Cristoia, because her bank has helped many families, so many people are willing to give up their s position.

Cristoia expressed her gratitude and politely declined. As the wife of the most powerful person in the Dionysian Alliance, the wise Cristoia has always demanded herself as an ordinary citizen in public, and will not give any excuse to Davos' opponents, if not consider Today's registration is very important to Cynthia. She originally planned to let Asuna accompany her daughter. For this reason, she specially wore a simple dress and accompanies her daughter to school as low-key as possible, but it still caused some confusion.

It was difficult to restore order, and the school registration continued.

It was Patroclus's turn. Under the watchful eyes of the staff, he named himself and his parents, and handed over the certificate issued by Aguilas.

According to the admissions rules of the Dionysian School: only children of official citizens of Dionia are admitted. On the one hand, it is to reduce the pressure on the school and control the number of students; more importantly, it is to let the foreigners and slaves working in Dionysian know that they can only enjoy these rights if they become full citizens of Dionysian, which makes Dionysian. The status of sub-regular citizens is even more precious, prompting them to work harder to achieve this goal.

Patroclus' parents were only pre-citizens, and he was ineligible for admission. But Aguilas applied to the Senate on the grounds of his outstanding performance in the war, and in view of the child's contributions in the war, the elders finally gave him the green light as a special case. So Patroclus was actually the only student at the school whose parents were not full citizens of Dionysus.

He didn't know his own speciality. After the staff found his name in the student roster and confirmed his identity, they looked at him with great interest, took the tuition fee he paid, ticked his name, and said Encouraged: You will study in classroom No. 1 in the future. Go, study hard, little guy!

Patroclus hurried out of the crowd and came to the edge of the playground, where there were rows of buildings with a large wooden sign with Greek letters written on it.

Patroclus was dumbfounded because he didn't know a word and had to ask someone else.

Hello, where is classroom No. 1?

At this time, a crisp voice came from behind: Classroom No. 1 is by your side, idiot!

Patroclus hurriedly turned his head, and saw the daughter of Archon Davos, whom he had seen before, was standing behind him, looking at him with big bright eyes and a teasing smile on his round face.

Cynthia, it's rude of you to say that, please apologize to this brother. Kristoia scolded her softly.

Cynthia usually listens to Kristia's words very much, but facing the boy who is only a few years older than herself, she can't say anything. Her face suddenly turned red, and she turned her head away.

Christoya had to apologize to Patroclus herself.

Facing the noble consul's wife up close, the 13-year-old Patroclus was overwhelmed, bowed his head shyly, and even said, It's okay! It's okay... hurriedly ran away.
