Chapter 160 Red Rose and White Rose Family
Yeats walked through the college's courtyard along an arcade lined with marble columns on both sides, and an arch with exquisitely carved reliefs came into view.
The archway leads to a dome hall, which is extremely spacious. The marble floor tiles are shiny, and murals, sculptures, and paintings can be seen everywhere, revealing the humanistic atmosphere of the Renaissance.
The students in the dome hall are dressed very casually, from Baroque-style velvet jackets to ancient Greek-style draped pleated white robes. Two completely different styles of clothing can be seen in the Poets Academy.
Statue of Minerva.
Yeats stopped in front of this most eye-catching statue.
The goddess holds a magic book in one hand and a lifelike owl in the other, symbolizing her magic and wisdom.
This statue was unlike the statue of the spring deer, and there was no trace of divinity left. Yeats looked at it for a moment and then looked away, turning to look at the oil painting on the wall.
Judging from Yeats's modern perspective, the world's art styles in clothing, art, architecture, and so on, have entered the Renaissance.
This has a lot to do with the rise of merchants and the bourgeoisie in the Yanin Peninsula and the Kingdom of Sicily.
"First time here?"
Ye Zhi looked back at the sound and saw a woman dressed in men's clothes with neat short brown hair. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes flashing with confidence, and stretched out her right hand calmly and elegantly.
"Let me introduce myself. June Lannister. I am currently studying strategy and swordsmanship at the Knight Academy."
Lannister.
When Ye Zhi heard the family name, he felt something strange.
The two most famous families in the Kingdom of Golden Lion are the Lannister and Wick families, symbolized by the red rose and the white rose respectively.
Both families have claims to the Golden Lion throne.
The Hundred Years' War has ended, but according to the development of the plot, the Lannisters and Wicks will start a civil war for the throne, which is known as the War of the Roses.
June Lannister, Yeats had some impression of this name.
As far as I can remember, the Duke of Lannister had no son, so he raised June as a boy since she was young. June lived up to everyone's expectations and showed outstanding talent.
At the age of seventeen, he killed a commander-level monster by himself, and had the combat power of a three-ring knight. As soon as he entered Jianhe University, he was regarded as a genius of the Knight Academy.
Lord Lannister was both happy and worried about this... He was happy that his daughter took on the expectations he had originally had for his son.
The worry is that June likes women.
He even set his sights on his enemy, Elsa Wick, the daughter of the Duke of Wick! Yeats complained in his heart: "What kind of female version of Romeo and Juliet?"
Yeats calmly shook hands with June Lannister and introduced himself:
"Bernard Yeats, I was invited to be a lecturer at the Poets' Academy. This is indeed my first time here."
Yeats of Brown... June's beautiful golden eyes flickered slightly. She had heard this name from her father.
Baron Kuchiki, who was abandoned by his family in disguise, led the territory to survive the cold wave. His ability was outstanding.
But how did he become the chosen poet? June looked at the handsome face of the silver-haired boy, feeling puzzled and a little annoyed.
Ye Zhi saw June biting her lower lip with a vigilant look, and couldn't help feeling confused. However, she saw June hesitate for a moment and sighed, "To be honest, a good friend of mine wants your letter address, but she is shy by nature, so she asked me to do it for her... If possible, please write the address on this piece of paper. Sorry for the trouble."
Ye Zhi saw June handing over a small booklet with a quill pen dipped in ink inside. He pondered and said, "Can I know the name of your good friend?"
"Elsa Vick," June informed, with the understanding that both parties should know, "She will also come to your lecture."
Ye Zhi finally understood why June was hostile to him, and shook his head, saying, "It's inconvenient for a lecturer to get too close to a student. Please take it back."
June was slightly startled. Seeing Ye Zhi turning around and leaving, she was afraid that Elsa would be unhappy because she couldn't get the address, so she hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, Your Excellency the Baron. I can bring something to exchange your address with you. Besides, you know, it's not difficult for Elsa to find out your address. She just wants permission to exchange letters with you. She has no other ideas!"
Ye Zhi paused to think, took the autograph book from June, picked up the quill, and bowed his head and said:
"Tell me everything you know about the recent disappearances in the academy. Is that okay?"
June breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "Of course, Your Excellency the Baron, I happen to be paying attention to this matter as well."
"The missing people are all ordinary people. Several of their bodies have been found. Without exception, they all have lost their blood and their bodies are shriveled like sticks, as if they were attacked by vampires."
"How do you know so much?" Yeats asked.
June switched to summons and said seriously, "To be honest, several students from the Knight Academy have been asked to track down the murderer, and I happen to be one of them... In addition, the school has also commissioned Baron Cran to conduct an investigation. I believe the case will soon be solved."
Why does Clan always get into trouble wherever he goes? Wait, it seems to be because of the Apostle Curse on me...
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Yeats was in a strange mood. He heard the big bell in the courtyard clock tower ringing, and it was time for class.
"Then I won't disturb your lecture." June took the manual from Ye Zhi and looked at the beautiful cursive handwriting on the paper, unable to help but feel a little admiration.
June believes in the way of the Black Knight, and the Black Knight attaches great importance to strategic reports and tactical analysis.
Every time June saw the war reports written in sloppy handwriting, she felt extremely painful. However, Baron Yeats's cursive handwriting was both clear and elegant, worthy of being a bard favored by art.
Yeats nodded, prepared to ask Cran in detail later, and walked through the interconnected dome hall to the lecture hall.
The girl with short brown hair stared at the figure from behind, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
The vigilance against the love rival had already vanished. June used the strategic vision of a future family head and thought to himself:
"My father wants to fight for the throne, so he must win over the descendants of the Grand Duke of Bronte... Compared to Wilson, Yeats seems to have more potential and is worth paying special attention to..."
Poets Academy, lecture hall.
There are only simple seats in the room, the walls are decorated with portraits and exquisite paintings, and the floor is covered with hand-woven carpets.
The students were arranged in different lines according to their rank, gender, and age, and were either flipping through the books on their laps or leaning back to communicate with their peers.
When Ye Zhi walked into the lecture hall, all eyes were immediately focused on him, and the gaze of one blonde girl was particularly intense.
There was no lack of contempt, disdain and disdain in these eyes. Yeats was too young. Although "Ode to a Nightingale" was excellent, it could not satisfy everyone.
Many students are ready to find fault.
As soon as the lecturer makes a mistake, they start to make a fuss and drive him off the stage.
Ye Zhi stood on the podium, looked around at the students with different expressions, and slowly said:
"Today we are going to talk about sonnets, starting with the meter..."
