Chapter 6: Polymath Peter

I’m wrong. In the past few years, I’ve always been drinking and indulging. I haven’t saved you enough tuition. I heard that Peter taught very well. It takes more than three years to study before he can pass the literacy test. Money is essential for long-term hard work."
　　 Luo Meng hesitated, looking at Ace with all kinds of complicated eyes.
　　 "Yesterday's magical experience, there is a sentence tossing in my mind, everyone has his destiny."
　　 "Fate entrusts everyone with responsibility. I failed to pass the literacy test, so I lost my citizenship and delayed you. It was because I failed the test of fate, let alone be a father."
"Don’t worry about the future tuition fees. Our family is a descendant of citizens, and there are still some bottles and cans. Let your mother accompany you to Peter’s to sign up today. There are some blank parchment papers at home, and I will collect the rest. tuition."
　　 Ace was surprised and moved by what Romon said.
　　 He always thought that Romon was a good man, but he was not a good husband or father, because he never planned well for the family, but just indulged in the glory of the past and used alcohol to numb himself.
　　 Unexpectedly, today, Luo Meng actually planned to take on the responsibility of his father, which made him feel a little warm.
　　 Ace and his mother Marina came to the first block. Here is the core area of ​​Medemous City, with neat and wide paved roads, olive trees planted on both sides of the road, and high-end shops along the street, lively and prosperous.
　　 The two passed through the bustling commercial area and came to rows of villas in a beautiful residential area.
　　 "Ace, your father grew up here."
　　 Marina shook Ace's hand hard, just as she felt.
　　 Not only admires the life of citizens, and hopes that his son will become a citizen, but he is also afraid of putting too much pressure on his children.
　　 She doesn't talk much at home, and she does her housework well every day. Seeing her husband and son, being a family is her great happiness.
　　 She also has a lot of expectations, expecting her husband to care more about the family and expecting her son to stand out. It's just that she has such a personality and she rarely speaks about it.
　　 Ace also felt his mother’s complicated mood. He took a long sigh and said, "Our family will come back here one day."
　　 The two walked to the villa of Peter the polymath. A neat and plain waiter greeted him, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Dear lady, young gentleman, are you here to study?"
　　 Marina replied in a panic, saying: "My child really wants to learn from Mr. Peter the polymath. I wonder if you can show us the respected Mr. Peter."
　　 "Of course madam, knowledge opens the door 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 tuition, which was paid every quarter.
　　 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 purpose is very clear, which is to be literate, and then to obtain the qualification to borrow the private book of Peter the polymath.
　　 After a while, Peter came to the living room. He had a long goatee, dressed in a white robe and red ribbon, and looked serious. He looked like a stern elderly man.
　　 "I am your teacher, Peter, and your parents sent you to me to learn knowledge and enrich your mind."
　　 "What you get from me depends on your effort. Hardworking people can outperform ordinary people even if they are stupid and persevering. Lazy people, even smart, use fishing nets to catch water and are destined to get nothing."
　　 Peter's opening remarks made several children nervous.
　　 Aisi nodded slightly. This teacher was in line with his appetite. He was not a genius in his previous life and this life. All he has is hard work.
　　 Diligent in learning, diligent in thinking, diligent in summary, diligent in reflection, this is the only way to learn.
　　 Peter then introduced an older disciple, his name is Morton, a red-haired boy with pimples on his face, Peter's assistant, responsible for the literacy enlightenment of eight students.
　　 Peter the polymath is a well-known scholar in the city-state. His assistant is actually a disciple in a certain sense. In the future, he will be recommended by Peter to become a low-level public office in the city-state.
　　 The parents of the students were sent away by Morton. They will pick up the students home at about 6 pm.
　　 Eight students followed Morton to the backyard. Morton said: "From today, I am responsible for teaching you literacy. Please introduce yourself briefly, and then we will start learning literacy."
　　 After various introductions, Ace knew that there were three nobles among the eight people, and the others were all descendants of citizens, and he was the only one who was a free citizen.
　　 The children are naturally grouped together, not deliberately discriminating, but the subtle sense of alienation still exists. Fortunately, Ace came not to make friends, but to use the limited time to learn more.
　　 "The so-called writing is actually the speech of language. If we want to learn writing, we must first learn thirty-two common letters and their phonetic symbols..."
　　 Following Morton’s explanation, Ace understood that the text of this world is actually alphabetic text. The first thing to learn is to remember the letters and phonetic symbols, as well as the corresponding grammatical structure.
　　 Morton plans to use three months to lay a solid foundation for them.
　　 Ace transcribed these thirty-two letters and phonetic symbols on parchment paper, and then painted them on the ground as they remembered. Compared to other children of the same age, Ace was obviously more serious.
　　 As a person who has studied English systematically in the previous life, these alphabetic characters are actually similar in pattern and can be quickly understood by analogy.
　　 After he memorized 32 letters proficiently, he applied to Mr. Morton to borrow the grammar learning materials in advance.
　　 "Mr. Morton, I have memorized thirty-two letters, and now I want to borrow a grammar book in advance, can I?"
　　 Morton checked the effect of Ace's memory, UU reading www.uukanshu.com found that he was indeed proficient in memorizing thirty-two letters and phonetic symbols.
　　 "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 about self-study. Make a record. When I start tomorrow, you can come to the class with questions, and the effect will be better."
　　 Ace took over the pamphlet made of parchment, on which was written "General Basic Grammar" by Peter.
　　 Ace has made a study plan in mind. It is difficult to directly produce a grammar book, but he has a native language environment, and he can basically understand the correct pronunciation and the meaning of the familiar words.
　　 As for the uncertain part, you can concentrate on asking Morton questions every day. It is estimated that in less than a week, you will be able to lay down the correct grammar habits and start reading directly.
　　 Ace’s tuition is very small, so he must improve efficiency and learn faster.
　　 In the evening, after Ace finished his fighting skills, holding a borrowed grammar book, facing the fire, ignoring Romon’s "clang!"
　　 Romon looked at Ace, who was studying hard, with a soft heart and a little guilt. He put aside the standard dagger and walked out lightly, fearing to disturb his son's study.
　　 He went to the tavern today, through the tavern owner, let out the wind to sell a set of family heavier armor.
　　 A set of heavy armor is extremely complicated to build, Romon himself is not at this level, he can only build some standard farm tools, weapons, and shields.
　　 Because of the high technical content, all heavy armors are very expensive. A full body armor is almost equivalent to a villa in the 8th block.
　　 This heavy armor can't be sold in a hurry, otherwise it will be bargained too hard. Fortunately, there are three months to wait for a suitable buyer.
