Chapter 1022 Isaac’s Childhood

The ending of that person naturally needs no elaboration.

Amidst the snickers and jeers of the people, after being beaten alive and maimed, he was hung on the back of a horse and dragged back - howling like a tenor all the way.

It is estimated that there is no way to go back alive.

Even if he can be dragged back to the door of the gambling stall, he may only have one breath left.

Of course no one will clean up the pool of blood on the ground. This seems to prove from the side where the **** smell here comes from.

Annan and Isaac were walking on the street normally - on the way to the Temple of Yavon.

Annan couldn't help but asked, "Have you seen this kind of person before?"

He always felt that Isaac's reaction was a bit strange.

Rather than watching on the sidelines, it is more like the feeling of watching someone who has offended you in the past become unlucky.

But obviously, it is impossible for Isaac to know the middle-aged man.

Because Isaac was already an "ancient man" more than a hundred years ago.

He is a member of the Flamel family, and his background can be said to be quite good, so he should not be involved in gambling.

"No, I thought of another thing."

Issac shook his head slightly, seeming to be lost in memories.

As he moved, the metal geometric patterns hanging on his body jingled and made a crisp sound like wind chimes.

Annan just turned his head and looked at Isaac without saying anything.

After a while, Isaac slowly spoke: "You know, Your Majesty...Denisoya is probably the only place in the world where 'slaves' still exist.

"When I was a child, I was... almost sold as a slave."

"...Aren't you a Flamel?"

This surprised Annan.

In any case, as the half-elf survivors with elven blood and the Flamel clan who control the Jade Tower, they should... not be sold into gambling, right?

"It's better to say, just because I'm a Flamel."

Issac sighed: "I don't know if there is any such record left... My father died very early, before I was born. And his name is also My name is Isaac - or rather, my name is Isaac because my mother named me after my father.

"It is said that my eyebrows are very similar to my father's. The emerald green pupils are proof of my elven blood. And my hair color is inherited from my mother.

"My mother was illiterate. She was able to raise me until I was three or four years old because my father's brother kept sending money. When I was three or four years old, she remarried her childhood sweetheart... Naturally, her last name will no longer be Flamel.

"This in itself is nothing. But my uncle came in person and claimed that Flamel is a noble surname. It cannot be profaned, and it is not allowed to be expelled - because neither my mother nor my stepfather have any formal jobs. , so they did not dare to resist my uncle.

"So there is a strange situation: I have different surnames from my mother and 'father'.

"My stepfather was obviously not very happy about this. He and my mother soon had new children...namely my two brothers and a sister. They all have the same surname. And I am an outlier."

Issac said calmly: "Of course, because my uncle, who doesn't even remember what he looks like, will send a very large amount of money every month... so my mother and stepfather still have no official relationship. Work.

“But they also knew that if they left the money, they would become less and less able to spend it. So they borrowed some more money and built a small farm, mainly growing orange trees.

"In Denisoya, this is a profession that only those with some money can engage in, and they can also be considered businessmen - not fruit farmers, but fruit merchants. It only takes about twelve years to turn the borrowed fruit into All the money will be repaid. Oranges have always been a very popular fruit, so there is no need to worry about sales.

"The turning point came when I was thirteen years old...my uncle who gave me money on time every month died."

Issac said, with the same indifferent smile on his face: "Of course, they only found out about it a few months later. At the beginning, it was just that the money was not available at the agreed time. Come.

“My stepfather wrote to question me, but he didn’t get a reply right away. He cursed me because he had to repay part of the large sum of money he borrowed every month, and their family never kept any savings.

"I was not studying at the Wizard Tower at the time, but studying mathematics at Denisoya Theological Seminary. My academic performance was very good, and I was always first in my class. If nothing else happened, I think I would have I'll be a mathematician."

"...mathematics?"

When Annan heard this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Have you studied mathematics?"

At first he thought it was just the same name.

But after hearing Isaac's self-report, Annan realized... I'm afraid this is not just a matter of the heavy name.

"Yes."

Issac nodded and explained in detail. : "I have been studying at Denisoya Theological Seminary since I was eight years old. This is a school run by the Yaweng Church. As long as you successfully graduate from it, you can get a job in the church unconditionally, with a monthly salary of at least There is a note. So even if the tuition is relatively expensive...if I can get in, I will definitely try my best to get in."

"Aren't church schools free?"

Annan was a little surprised.

He remembered that in Noah's place, anyone was allowed to enter the church school - it was just that the entrance exam was more difficult.

Issac shook his head: "Only Noah's church school is free...except for your Principality of Winter."

——Because there is no church school in winter.

Annan knew what Isaac wanted to say.

And Isaac just sighed, recalling and whispering: "I remember that in Noah's church school, the tuition fees were paid by the church. As long as you can pass the entrance exam and abide by the school If you follow the rules and disciplines, you can attend school and stay for free, and even get a food subsidy.

"But in Denisoya, Yavon's seminary is not that easy to get into - if you don't have noble blood, you need a letter of recommendation from a priest to prove that you are indeed a 'dexterous and obedient' person. Children. In a sense, it is actually a noble school.

"When we enter school at the age of seven or eight, Yaweng's magical [qualification appraisal] will directly determine our ability tendencies and divide them into different departments. However, this qualification appraisal form will not be directly used. Show it to students.

"In Denisoya Seminary, the art department has the highest status...the entrance examination is also the most stringent. In addition to artistic qualifications, a certain degree of foundation is also required, otherwise you will not be able to keep up after admission. Courses. ~IndoMTL.com~ Noble students without artistic talent can only enter other majors.

"But even in the mathematics department, we still have to practice the most basic singing, painting and handicrafts on weekdays. We have to make our own rulers and compasses. I still remember the final exam when I was twelve years old. , is to imitate and copy an architectural drawing of a clock tower. You heard it right, Your Majesty. We also need to learn sculpture and architecture... At the age of eleven or twelve, we must learn the stress equation of architecture.

"Of course, if your academic performance is good enough, you can still get a scholarship. I have always been the best academically in the same year, and I have clear articulation and good singing - which is a good plus. I was selected into the choir of our department, so I got another sponsorship.

"In my second year of enrollment, I used the scholarship to offset 80% of my tuition; and in my third year of enrollment, not only did I earn back all my tuition, I even had five or six gold coins left - this money Half of it was secretly hidden by me and used to buy some books or something; the rest was taken away by my stepfather.

"Shortly after my thirteenth birthday, it was the first day of school. Because my uncle didn't send any money, so my tuition fees, scholarships... were all taken away by him."

Isaac said calmly, as if he was telling other people's stories: "So, I dropped out of school because of this."
