Alien Knights

　　 Six hours in the morning.

　　 six full hours.

　　 Todd read through two ecclesiastical books written in Latin, an anthology of rhetoric, and several sample grammar essays.

　　 If he hadn't used the method of pretending to be foolish and deliberately making mistakes to delay the course, the crazy Master Miles could even make him read all the books on a row of bookshelves.

　　 After coming out of the teaching class, the boy felt that his throat was smoking and a gold star was in front of him. The body that could no longer support, sat down on the grass, and rubbed his temples with both hands.

　　 Suddenly heard the ringing of the bell tower in his ear, and people around him walked towards the main hall. Todd looked at the sun hanging above his head, and suddenly realized that he was finally able to eat a full meal!

　　 With the joy of having a big meal and eating Hesai, he followed the monks through the corridor, entered the dining hall, learned that the others had received wooden bowls and spoons, and lined up in front of several large barrels.

　　 was not the buffet as expected, which made him a little disappointed.

　　 But this scene of queuing up for a meal reminds the boy of the university cafeteria scene. The difference is that the monks lowered their heads, no one whispered to each other, and even the coughing sound was inaudible, which made the soul of the previous life in his body extremely uncomfortable, and even a little creepy.

Looking at the line in front of him, this gray-haired old monk received the lunch meal from a young man, bowed a deep salute, and said in his mouth: "Thank you for the food. "Todd curled his mouth disapprovingly, and stretched out the wooden bowl, doing the same, then raised his head and saw the lunch in the bowl, the brilliant expression on his face retracted directly into his throat.

　　 What are these things? !

　　 boiled thin oatmeal, faintly visible slices of green vegetable leaves, a few small pieces of poor pickled dried radish dotted on it.

　　 Is this something for people to eat?

　　 The meals of Henry (male dog, 4 years old) and Sonia (female cat, 2 and a half years old) in the previous life were a hundred times better!

　　咚咚咚!

　　The person who beats the meal hit the side of the bucket with the back of the spoon, signalling Todd to get back when he gets the meal, so that the people behind can follow.

Looking for an unmanned seat, the boy felt the "wriggle" coming from his belly, folded his arms around his chest, took a deep look at the "delicious food" in the bowl, and began to think about which one is more important than a belly wrap or dignity. Philosophical question.

　　 Hudgens found him again.

　　 This guy is like a traveler traveling in the wilderness, who can take out different food from his arms at any time.

　　 Seeing an egg and an apple handed to him by the middle-aged man wearing gloves, Todd began to miss the days of traveling with him infinitely. At least the non-repetitive food every day always makes him look forward to something different.

　　 "Eat more, or you won't be able to make it through this afternoon."

ha?

What's the meaning?

　　 The serious look on the opponent's face made Todd have to reassess the balance in his heart.

　　 gathered up the courage and closed his eyes, the boy tremblingly took the rice spoon and delivered the first bite of food into his mouth.

The Monastery of San Sidro was built on a hill in the northwestern wilderness next to the Kingdom of Silver Ring. Its north is close to the "source of the cloud" Falling Star Mountains, the south is bordered by the Moon Creek Plain, the east is close to the watchtower, and the rapids can be seen in the west. island. Geographically, it is located in four different geomorphological areas of cross-grounding belts.

　　 Inside the monastery, with San Sidro Cathedral as the center, all the buildings will be arranged in the structure of a cross. On the right side of this "cross" is the residence of the high-ranking monks in the monastery. This is also to imitate the allusion in the holy books of the church. On the left side of this cross is the collective residence of the monks. They live together, equal to each other, without distinction.

　　The place closest to the main entrance of the monastery is the closest place to the secular world. It is a residence for visitors and the poor, as well as some other living areas. The farthest from there are the dead, whose holy souls are leading to heaven-the public cemetery of the monastery. The cemetery is often built in the east where the sun rises, symbolizing the resurrection after death, but the residence of the visitors is arranged to the west, symbolizing the secular people and their "mortal" world.

　　 At the foot of the hill where the monastery is located, there is a cultivated field where common crops are planted for the monks to be self-sufficient.

　　 The cold of early spring condenses the moisture in the air into frost, making the soil under your feet icy.

　　 Wielding the simple wooden **** in his hand, turning the solid earth barrier, Todd finally understood the meaning of the Slavic man’s words.

　　 straightened his waist, patted **** his sore thighs, and looked at the farmland under his feet. He really wanted to ask someone to ask why it was so different from what he imagined.

　　The monasteries in the literary works of the previous life often mentioned ten thousand acres of fertile land, countless serfs, clothes to stretch out their hands, food to open their mouths, and the wealth of the monks and even the wealth of the enemy. Are they all fake? !

　　 looked up and looked into the distance, wearing a patchy, worn-out cloth, Master Miles buried his head in the vegetable field, and Todd swallowed the complaint that came to his mouth.

　　 "You don’t look like a farmer’s child."

　　 The whispers of the people behind him made his heart tremble.

　　 Edgar carried the wooden basket, picked up the stones and wooden branches in the field, looked at Todd's eyes, UU reading www.uukānshu.com was getting colder and colder.

　　 The boy who had never worked in agriculture sighed and planned to bend down again, but saw a black smoke rising not far from the foot of the mountain.

　　 "What is there?"

　　 Edgar sniffed, followed Todd's hand and looked back, and replied indifferently: "Workshop."

　　 The latter stared at the smoke and dust in the air, sank his head, secretly caressed in his heart.

　　 Two hours later, the time came to three o'clock in the afternoon.

　　 This is also a rare break in the day at the San Sidlo Monastery.

　　 Todd, who was breathing for a moment, wiped the soles of his feet, put on his cloth shoes, glanced at the little tail, Edgar, who was still following him, and came to the workshop built on the periphery of the monastery.

　　 said it was a workshop, or to be precise, it might be more like a smelting room.

　　 In a studio built of two rows of stones, four or five craftsmen and a dozen apprentices are busy working around a burning furnace.

A square stove resembling a stove, the height is about 2 meters, there is a huge furnace pit in the middle, with a vertical baffle in the middle, and three openings below. The inlet and the air inlet are placed together. The middle is separated by a baffle, and the rest is the discharge port. During smelting, put iron ore into the feed inlet and charcoal powder into the air inlet, sprinkle water while blowing air.

　　 The most primitive smelting device in the Middle Ages in Europe, not even a cylindrical furnace in appearance, it can only be called a bowl furnace.

　　Todd can't remember where this type of furnace was invented in the original world, and when it was introduced to Europe.

　　 He can only vaguely remember this kind of stove, which seems to be used by the northern European countries in the early Middle Ages.

　　 Its name is impressive and hard to forget.

　　 Farmer stove.
