The Primordial Wizard

It's my fault. I have been drinking and indulging in the past few years, and I haven't saved enough tuition fees for you. I heard that Peter Na taught very well, and he would have to study for more than three years to pass the literacy test, and studying is very difficult. Money is essential for hard and long-term things.”

Romon looked hesitant, looking at Ace with various complicated eyes.

I had a miraculous experience yesterday, and there was a sentence that kept turning in my head, everyone has his own destiny.

Fate assigns everyone responsibility. I failed the literacy test, so I lost my citizenship and delayed you. I failed the test of fate, and I failed to be a good father.

You don't have to worry about the tuition fees in the future. Our family is the descendant of citizens, and we still have some bottles and cans. Let your mother accompany you to Peter's to register today. There are still some blank parchments at home. I will raise the rest tuition fee.

Ace was surprised and moved when he heard Romon's words.

He always thought that Romon was a good man, but he was not a good husband or father, because he never made a good plan for his family, but just indulged in the past glory and anesthetized himself with alcohol.

Unexpectedly, today, Romon actually planned to take on the responsibility of his father, which warmed his heart.

Together with his mother, Marina, Ace came to the first block. This is the core area of ​​Medimus City, with neat and wide stone paved roads, olive trees planted on both sides of the road, and high-end shops along the street, lively and prosperous.

The two walked through the bustling business district and came to a residential area with rows of villas and a beautiful environment.

Ace, your father grew up here.

Marina held Ace's hand a little harder, just like her mood.

He admires the life of citizens and expects his son to be a citizen, but he is also afraid of putting too much pressure on his children.

She doesn't talk much at home, and she works hard to do the housework well every day. Watching her husband and son, being together as a family is her great happiness.

She also has a lot of expectations, expecting her husband to care more about the family and her son to be successful, but she has such a personality that she seldom speaks out.

Ace also felt his mother's complicated feelings. He let out a long breath and said, Our family will come back here one day.

The two of them walked to the villa of the polymath Peter, and a waiter in neat and plain clothes came up to him, bowed slightly, and said with a smile on his face, Dear lady, young gentleman, are you here to study?

Marina returned the gift in a panic, and said, My child really wants to learn from the polymath Mr. Peter. I wonder if you can take us to meet the respected Mr. Peter.

Of course ma'am, knowledge is open to every seeker. The waiter bowed slightly and led the two into the villa.

In the living room, Ace waited with seven other children. His mother followed the waiter to pay the three-month scholarship, which was paid quarterly.

These seven children are about seven or eight years old, five boys and two girls. Ace has no desire to talk to other children for the time being. His goal is very clear, which is to learn to read, and then obtain the qualification to borrow the private collection of the polymath Peter.

After a while, Peter came to the living room. He had a long goatee beard, was dressed in a white robe with a red ribbon, and looked serious. He looked like a stern elder.

I am your teacher Peter. Your parents sent you to me to learn knowledge and enrich your minds.

What you get from me depends on your hard work. Even if a hardworking person is stupid, he can persevere more than ordinary people. Even if a lazy person is smart, he still draws water with a fishing net and is doomed to get nothing.

Peter's opening remarks made several children nervous.

Ace nodded slightly, this teacher was in line with his appetite, he was not a genius in his previous life, all he had was hard work.

Diligent in learning, diligent in thinking, diligent in summarizing,

Diligent reflection is the only way to learn.

Peter then introduced an older student named Morton, a red-haired guy with some pimples on his face, who was Peter's assistant and was responsible for the literacy enlightenment of eight students.

The polymath Peter is a well-known scholar in the city-state, and his assistant is actually a disciple in a certain sense. In the future, he may be recommended by Peter to be a low-level public official in the city-state.

The students' parents were sent off by Morton, who will pick up the students at around 6pm.

The eight students followed Morton to the backyard, and Morton said, From today onwards, I will be responsible for teaching you how to read. Please introduce yourself briefly, and then we will start learning how to read.

After all kinds of introductions, Ace knew that among the eight people there were three nobles, and the others were all descendants of citizens, and he was the only one who was a freeman.

The children are naturally grouped together, not deliberately discriminatory, but the subtle sense of alienation still exists. Fortunately, Ace came here not to make friends, but to use the limited time to learn more knowledge.

The so-called text is actually the speech of the language. To learn the text, we must first learn the thirty-two common letters and their phonetic symbols...

With Morton's explanation, Ace understood that the characters in this world are actually alphabetic characters, and the first thing to learn is to memorize the letters and phonetic symbols, as well as the corresponding grammatical structure.

Morton plans to use three months to give them a good grammar foundation.

Ace copied the thirty-two letters and phonetic symbols onto the parchment, and then memorized them while drawing on the ground. Compared with other children of the same age, Ace was obviously more serious.

As a person who has studied English systematically in his previous life, the rules of this type of alphabet are actually similar, and he can quickly learn by analogy.

After proficiently memorizing the thirty-two letters, he applied to Mr. Morton to borrow grammar textbooks in advance.

Mr. Morton, I have memorized the thirty-two letters, and now I want to borrow the grammar book in advance, can I?

Morton checked the effect of Ace's memory and found that he had indeed memorized the thirty-two letters and phonetic symbols proficiently.

Grammar textbooks can be lent to you in advance. This is a course for the next few months. You may have a lot of questions in self-study. Make a record. When I start the lecture tomorrow, you can come to the class with questions, and the effect will be better.

Ace took the pamphlet made of parchment, on which was written Common Basic Grammar by Peter.

Ace has already made a study plan in his mind. Although it is difficult to read grammar books directly, but he has a native language environment, and he can basically understand the correct pronunciation with familiar meanings.

As for the uncertain part, you can focus on asking Morton questions every day, so it is estimated that in less than a week, you will be able to lay down the correct grammatical habits and start reading directly.

Ace's tuition fee is very small, so he must improve efficiency and learn faster.

In the evening, after exercising his fighting skills, Ace held the borrowed grammar book and faced the fire, ignoring the sound of Romon's clang!, learning basic grammar.

Romon looked at Ace who was studying hard, and felt a little soft and guilty in his heart. He put aside the standard dagger that he had made, and walked out the door lightly, afraid of disturbing his son's study.

He went to a tavern today, and through the tavern owner, he spread the word that he wanted to sell a set of full-body heavy armor handed down from his family.

A set of heavy armor is extremely complicated to build, and Romon himself is not at this level. His level can only make some standard farm tools, weapons, and shields.

Because of the high technical content, all heavy armor is very expensive. A set of full-body heavy armor is almost equivalent to a set of villas in the eighth block.

This heavy armor can't be sold in a hurry, otherwise the price will be too hard. Fortunately, there are three months to wait for a suitable buyer.
