The so-called cultural courses are actually history, heroic novels, or basic social etiquette, as well as other things like poetry and piano lessons.

Luther was not interested at all, so he fell asleep while listening.

He remembered two things in his mind: in addition to talent and hard work, there are two other conditions that must be met in order to become a powerful knight.

Magic potions, and adventures.

Apart from the adventure, this potion also gave rise to another profession that Luther was very curious about: wizard.

Later, Luther asked Teacher Qiao Xiu about wizards, but Teacher Qiao Xiu only knew a little about it. Luther gave up temporarily after being cured, saying that this was a mysterious profession.

As for the potion, it's a very, very expensive thing.

According to Teacher Qiao Xiu, magic potions are very rare in Pompeii, or even almost non-existent. Generally, only forces with great financial resources or strong foundations can possess them.

Not to mention a small knight lord, even for a baron lord, magic potions are extremely rare and precious.

Only viscounts, earls and other nobles above them would take the potion frequently, or even continuously.

In short, if you have no money, no power, and no background, don't even think about taking drugs.

Taking drugs means a rapid increase in strength, which is also the reason why the families of the great nobles have an endless stream of powerful knights, always maintaining their position at the top of the food chain.

For common people and ordinary families like Pompeii's family, it is extremely difficult to climb up.

So after learning that besides talent and hard work, there are also potions and encounters as two other ways to ascend, Luther not only did not broaden his horizons or design a plan to climb up, but instead developed a sense of powerlessness.

This is a world with strict class systems. To become a real earl from a knight lord is much more difficult than taking the college entrance examination, and may even be more difficult than for an ordinary person to become a doctoral student.

Damn it.

But Luther is a person who never gives up easily. Damn it, time travel can happen to me, so my existence is like a bug.

Is being a PhD student harder than traveling through time?

There is always a way out. I should have my golden finger, but I just haven't found it yet.

Um.

With great confidence, Luther and his friends finished their cultural studies, and then attended the knight course with William and Xuxua.

A so-called knight should be one who has both wisdom and beauty. Oh, that’s wrong. He should be one who has both knowledge and power.

A powerful knight who wants to be accepted by the aristocratic circle must have good conversation skills and a considerable amount of knowledge. The more charismatic ones may also be able to write poetry.

If a knight had great strength but no corresponding knowledge, he would be considered a barbarian.

This is also an important detail that distinguishes noble knights from civilian knights.

Compared with noble knights, civilian knights have neither knowledge nor good social etiquette, and more importantly, they have no surnames.

The teacher of the knight class in the afternoon was a civilian knight named Magellan.

This knight has a strong physique and is relatively ugly, but he has an extremely fierce face. He exudes masculine hormones and gives people a great sense of oppression.

Magellan was a civilian knight in the territory of Pompeii, and his eldest son was Cissus.

Xiu Xiuya is a boy of the same age as Luther, and has not yet activated the power of a knight. In addition to being a member of the knight class, Xiu Xiuya is also Luther's follower.

The relationship between Magellan and Old Thor is like the relationship between Luther and Xuxia. Pompey is the knight lord, which is equivalent to a monarch.

So although the Magellan family were civilian knights, they had a very high status in Pompeii, and they also had a small village as a fiefdom for generations.

Of course, the end of the Prussian real nobility was the knight lords like the Pompey family, and families like Magellan were actually still commoners.

Unless something extremely amazing happens, the gap between heaven and earth will not overlap.

By the way, in addition to being the teacher of Luther and others, Magellan is also the sheriff of Pompeii and a junior knight. Normally, one of Magellan and Old Thor must stay in the territory all year round to be responsible for defending the territory.

In short, if Pompeii is regarded as a miniature country, Old Sol is the monarch, Luther is the first heir, then Teacher Qiao Xiu is the prime minister, and the Knight Magellan is the commander-in-chief.

The knight lessons were held in an open area outside the castle, which was a field with four people and four horses.

Teacher Magellan, Luther, William, and Xuxua were all wearing silver armor and holding cross swords.

Magellan glanced at the students, his eyes were very steady, just like his personality. Calm and quiet.

"As we all know, the power of a knight is also called fighting spirit. It comes from the body. The stronger the body, the more fighting spirit it can generate. So according to the old rules, Master Luther and Xiu Xiuya will run ten kilometers, and Master William will run five kilometers."

Magellan's face was as cold as rock, and his tone was calm.

"yes."

Luther, Xuxua, and William all responded, and then they all ran around the field in their armor.

The armor on Luther weighed at least 20 to 30 kilograms. It was a light iron armor. I heard that if it was a heavy armor, it might weigh 40 to 50 kilograms.

If Luther had run ten kilometers in this light armor in his previous life, it would have been a complete failure.

But in this life, Luther ran very easily. Really, the ten-kilometer run was just like a warm-up exercise. After running, Luther's face was just slightly ruddy and his breath was a little short.

Relax and still have energy to spare.

The highlight comes after the warm-up, which starts with routine training.

This type of training content is a complete set of training content, which includes muscle training, certain routines, which look somewhat like martial arts in previous lives, and coordinated with breathing.

After that comes sword training, and finally horse riding training.

Routine training targets one's physical fitness. Simply put, it can strengthen one's body, making it easier for the body to stimulate fighting spirit and accommodate more fighting spirit.

This is a widely spread training routine, it's not a secret, just the versions and levels are slightly different.

There is nothing surprising about the routine training of the Pompeii family. The name is also very ordinary, called "Pompeii Secret Technique", and it eventually cultivates "Pompeii Fighting Qi."

It sounds like that, but it's just ordinary "earth fighting spirit."

Just amazing defense and endurance.

Needless to say, sword training is the basic combat skill of knights. In the future, knights' weapons may become more diverse, including knight guns, swords, and various weapons.

But every knight knows at least basic swordsmanship.

The same is true for riding skills. Knights do not necessarily fight with mounts, and mounts can be varied, such as various magical beasts and even dragons.

But every knight can at least ride a horse.
