Chapter 839: Afternoon in Jiliu City
..
Seaver Public School was located in the northwest of the liege’s district, only two streets away from the liege’s manor and the official posthouse.
If you stood on the tallest tower in the school and looked around.
You could even clearly see the people entering and leaving the lord’s guard camp.
This was the only school in Rolling Stone Town.
It was built by Sif’s grandfather, Rhaegar’s father, Seaver.
Actually, this could be seen from the name Rheagar had given Seaver.
Sif and Seaver were the same words used in the common language to differentiate between male and female names.
This was obviously a deliberate act by Rheagar to commemorate his father.
It was said to be a public school.
In fact, there were only three buildings in the entire school: a teaching building, a teacher’s dormitory, and a comprehensive building.
However, compared to the number of students enrolled there.
The three buildings seemed a little empty.
With the economic structure and the development of civilization in Rolling Stone Town, only a dozen families could afford to send their children to school.
After Rheagar became the lord, he opened the school to the children of more residents of Rolling Stone Town and provided a good tuition subsidy.
However, the number of students in the school was still very small.
In Matthew’s memory.
When he was still a history teacher, he had taught more than 30 students at the same time.
That was already the most lively teaching scene he had ever seen.
However, half a year passed.
The school seemed to have undergone a subtle change.
Matthew stood at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the teaching building and looked down at the figures coming and going through the gap of the spiral staircase.
” The number of students seems to have increased a lot.”
When Matthew came in, he brushed past a few young boys and girls who looked like students.
He accidentally realized that these people did not seem to be locals of Rolling Stone Town.
” Then they should be from the High Leaf Region or the Golden Fertile Field.”
Matthew made a sharp judgment.
This subtle change was also in line with Rolling Stone Town’s growing regional influence.
Rolling Stone Town itself did not have that many children of nobles or wealthy businessmen who had the time to come to school.
But there were some in the Highleaf Region.
There were also some in the Golden Fertile Field, which was occupied by Rolling Stone Town.
Of course, there was no lack of smart people in these territories. The rise of Rolling Stone Town was already set in stone. If they did not choose to leave, then the only thing left was to cater to them.
Under the current circumstances, it was too late to directly cater to Rheagar or Zeller.
Thus, sending their children to Seaver Public School for further studies had become a roundabout way to save their country.
Matthew had just seen two unfamiliar faces in the girls ‘classroom. They sat furthest away from Sif, but there was a faint hint that they were trying to get closer to her.
Matthew hadn’t been there for long.
Now that he thought about it, those two girls must have had something to do with the noble forces of the High Leaf Region.
” No wonder Zeller is so busy all day. The rise of Rolling Stone Town will definitely attract many people. These people may not have bad intentions, but it will be very troublesome to deal with them properly. At least, it will be a very exhausting thing.”
Matthew thought casually as he walked along the corridor.
There was also a notice on the floor of the corridor ahead.
Matthew picked it up and glanced at it. He found that it was a notice for Seaver Public School to recruit teachers.
It seemed like Rheagar was very happy to have more people join the school and expand the school’s curriculum.
With Matthew’s understanding of the school.
If they could recruit enough people according to the plan on the notice, the students there would receive a series of courses such as etiquette, riding, arithmetic, geography, history, language, humanities, and art.
Other than that, the girls also had crafts.
The boys had their own hunting lessons.
This would greatly enrich the students’ original learning life, but it would probably make more than half of them complain.
At the same time, Matthew noticed that in this notice, the school had increased the salary of teachers by about 20% compared to before.
This was a very generous treatment.
However, correspondingly.
Seaver was as strict as ever when it came to checking the identity of teachers.
If their origins were unclear.
It was impossible for them to be hired.
Looking at these entries, Matthew couldn’t help but recall what happened three years ago.
At that time, he had repeatedly failed to find a job in Rolling Stone Town.
He thought that since he was a mage, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to find a job.
However, he did not expect the importance of identification.
This was true not only for Rolling Stone Town but also for other areas.
Even for mages, unless the lord happened to have something to ask of them, it would be difficult for an unknown person to integrate into the local life circle in a relatively stable area.
Thinking about it this way…
Great Mage Ronan’s recommendation and guarantee were even more precious.
“I hope he is doing well in the astral plane.”
Matthew secretly repeated this prayer in his heart.
The school was exceptionally quiet on a winter afternoon.
He leaned against the railing of the spiral staircase in boredom and looked out the oriel window.
A few white pigeons flew past.
The sound of flapping wings was clearly audible.
Even though they quickly flew out of Matthew’s sight, he could still determine the whereabouts of the pigeons based on his memory.
It was the pigeon coop high up in the school tower.
Every afternoon was feeding time, and the pigeons that were relaxing outside would return to the tower on time to receive Mr. Spencer’s feeding.
The latter was a very knowledgeable man, at least among mortals.
